Caray, Caray!

Gaby decides to let Kike stay. He flashes an evil grin behind her back at how he has put one over on her. It is unclear to us whether she really thinks he has turned over a new leaf or she is just resigned to the abuse. It's so preposterous that she would continue with this relationship at this point, when she need not fear getting rid of him and even her mother is finally on board with giving him the boot.

Marfil meets with "Alejandro" to plant some seeds of her evil plot. She hints that Diana is the one behind the fire. She also throws in some points about Diana sleeping with Diego. And how Diego hopes to get Diana back. He never had her, so I don't know what this is about.

Larry comes to see Diana to discuss Alejandro.

Sharon calls Roddy to tell him her mother died. She begs him to come to LA. He decides to go, but he doesn't tell Fedora the truth about why he is going right back to LA after having just returned. That can't be good, because our dear revengeful Fidiota won't like having been lied to.
Why doesn't he just tell her the truth? It really doesn't fit in with her character that she would be upset at finding out he has a long lost daughter. After all, she was happy for Paco finding his long lost daughter.

Marfil goes over to Octy's palace of plastic fish to have a meeting with Fiona and Camila. It seems Fiona is living there even though Paco threw Octavia out and he is in Puerto Rico. I can't explain. The form a strange bedfellows alliance to get rid of Diana. It's all so kooky, I can't really follow their plot. The will be an alliance of "viboras" (vipers), or "perras rabiosas," rabid dogs. Camila, meanwhile, says she's sure that Alejandro is really Max.

Alejandro tells Pedro that he thinks Diana was involved with the fire at the manicomio. Pedro ridicules him for this. He should also ridicule him for his white shoes, which "Max" is still wearing. This should be a dead giveaway for all the other characters!

Silvia is over at the bar with the trannies. They seem to be friends again, and they decide to go shopping. I really could not follow what they were talking about. It seems that the trannies are going to get her a makeover so she can get a husband.

Eduardo calls Diana to tell her she's going to leave. She will always be his friend. She flashes her best patronizing saccharine smile.

Sharon now cries on Roddy's shoulder. He doesn't want to take her back because of his new wife, and I have to admit he is really in the wrong here. She really lays it on thick. She never had a father, she is all alone, he just views her as an "estorbo," a nuisance. Please take her to Miami. How can he turn his back on her? Finally he agrees to take her back to Miami. She hugs him and we see that she, too, flashes an evil grin to the camera. She definitely belongs with Kiki!

Max plans to make Diana jealous.

Gaby cries.

Diego goes to see Diana at the hospital, and when he grabs her she tries to get away. He tells her to calm down--she wouldn't want a scandal. This is always a favorite line of characters in this show.

Silvia and Mariposa are walking in street near the mall. They fall down a sewer! (alcantarilla). Luckily Larry is driving by, and he will help them get out. When you see Larry on the street, he is looking down a very small hole that is not big enough for them to have fallen through. Meanwhile, when they show them in the hole, it is a big space, filled with rats. We now have a chance to see quite a few disgusting scenes with rats running around, and finally Silvia even picks up one by the tail. I think it was a live rat! Not a fake! I just can't understand what the point of this scene could possibly be!

Lorenzo goes for a haircut. Paco calls and tells him he's coming home. I wonder if he knows all those women are living in his house.

Camila and Iggy plot some more about Diana. They learn that Diego and Fiona have an alliance. I can't really tell anymore. They figure Diana will finally be going to prison. Then they see Eddie packing his bags to leave. They are horrified: Their gravy train has left the station.

We see Emilio open the door to his apartment to greet Alejandro. He says: Hi, Max. Credits roll.
