Caray, Caray!

Opening scene: New Bruna (aka Samantha) offers to take Marfil to Max's room, where she's sure they'll find Max with Diana.

Meanwhile, Max is trying to tempt Diana into kissing him. As they begin to kiss, we see the doorknob turning... lucky for Diana it's Dulce, coming to warn Diana that Samantha and Marfil are on their way. Marfil and Samantha enter, leaving Max impactado.

At the hospital, Gaviota has come to offer her support to Paco. Pobre de Paco is beside himself over Octavia's silence. Of course Gaviota doesn't miss a chance to tell him "I told you so." It's followed by a tender moment between Paco and Gaviota where she tells him that she understands why he married Octavia - he thought she was the love of his life.

We're transported to Gaby's bedroom in psycho mansion, where she's surprised by a noise outside her window. It turns out to be none other than her super hot amante, Larry, who's come because he knew that she wasn't really in Puerto Rico.

Back to the hospital, where Paco asks Gaviota's forgiveness, and for once she's gracious. She tells him they should stop thinking about the past and start moving forward. Then she tells him that Diana's left the mansion with Maxito. Paco urges her to look for her and get her to return to the mansion before it's too late. She just can't support their love for the Irazabal boys - she'll never allow it! He tells her not to be so inflexible, and is interrupted by the arrival of Octavia. This quickly turns into a cat fight between Octavia and Gaviota, where Octavia tells Gaviota to leave, which prompts Paco to tell her that Gaviota's not going anywhere, and Octavia better pack her bags and get out of his apartment! Gaviota's standing behind him looking quite pleased with herself when Paco tells Octavia that he wants a divorce.

At the psychiatric hospital, Marfil is trying to throw Diana out of Max's room, but Diana's a professional - she's employed at the hospital and she doens't take orders for Marfil! Samantha tries to intervene, but Max doesn't allow it.

Larry's trying to get an explanation from Gaby, but she's just stuttering in response. He asks what's going on and all she can say is not to ask, and he should just forget about her. Just as he takes her into his arms, the door opens (funny that he just walks right in - she locked the door as Larry climbed in the window) and Kike walks in sporting a bandana on his head like he's ready to throw down.

Pancho is in his cell thinking that he needs to escape when Caramelo arrives to give him the latest news - that Paola is her sister!

Diana's standing her ground in Max's room - she doesn't take orders from Samantha, she only takes orders from the director. And Max isn't supposed to have visitors. Samantha and Marfil leave the room, followed by Diana. Max tries to stop her so they can discuss their kiss, but she tells him that it can't happen again. I really don't know how to interpret the look on Max's face when she tells him that - his eyes move from side to side and he has kind of a sly smile. Maybe it's the "I hope they have more of that yummy watermelon for lunch today" look. Who knows?

Marfil's fuming about her run in with Diana when Diego calls and wants to know where she is. She lets him know where she is, and that Diana is working there.

Silvita is getting sick of the babysitting gig and calls Isabel for help - she tells her that Diana hasn't approved it yet, but she'll talk to her tonight and she can start tomorrow. Isabel and Diana are thrilled that they'll get to move forward with their plan.

Paco's really reading Octavia the riot act now - she tries to tell him that they'll discuss this later when Gaviota's not around, but he tells her that the next time they talk it will be in front of a judge for their divorce hearing.

Back at the mansion, the boys are brawling in Gaby's bedroom as Gaby screams for help. Larry delivers an amazing kick to Kike's already bloody face as Gaby continues to wail. It's turning into a bloody mess as the ladies of the house arrive to watch and cry. Gaby won't let them call the police, and she refuses to leave with Larry when he tries to get her to go with him. Larry walks out and Kike lets her know that she'll pay for each hit. Santa, Lala, and Miguelina hear this but don't react to it. All of the ladies huddle together and go off to the sala because Gaby doesn't want to be alone with Kike.

Caramelo's explaining the Paola story to Pancho, who's speechless. She tells him that it's his fault that they hate each other - he lied to them both, and now he must live with it. Paola's condition is serious, and there's really no hope.

Marfil stops by Lala's place to update Diego on Diana's latest venture, but he quickly shows her the door. He has to go to Ignacio's place to update him and Camila on what he's learned. They come up with a fabulous way to get rid of Max once and for all -- they'll burn the psychiatric hospital! Diego doesn't go for it at first - think of all of the innocent patients - but Ignacio convinces him pretty easily that they crazy people are just a drain on society anyway. They'll be doing everyone a favor by getting rid of them! And there's no reason to waste time - they'll do it tonight. Kill the dog and you get rid of the rabies!

Octavia returns to Paco's place and finds Fiona lounging on the sofa reading a magazine. She orders Fiona to help her pack her bags immediately.

Max tells Pedro that he finally kissed Azucena/Diana - and her lips are so sweet! Pedro tells him that if he escapes, he won't be able to see Azucena anymore...

Octavia arrives at the new Irazabal house and orders Yolanda to pay for her taxi and get her bags. Paco has asked for a divorce, and it's all Yolanda's fault for telling a secret that wasn't hers. So now she will live with her sons. She tells Yolanda to show her to her room while Larry brings her bags.

Fedora arrives home and asks Kike to fix her a drink - she doesn't notice that he's been beat up until he hands her the glass. She's furious to hear that Larry attacked Kike in her own house and she goes off to talk to Gaby. When she enters Gaby's room, she finds Gaby sitting on her bed staring off into space. Gaby tells her that it wasn't her fault - Larry entered through the window. Gaby tells her that it won't happen again, Larry knows that he's out of her life forever. For their whole lives.

Diana's impactada to hear Silvia's plan to hire Isabel. She can't leave Maxito with a stranger! But Silvia tells her that it's not a stranger - it's the same person who took care of him when the "toca discos" (record player?) Bruna stole him. Then she calls Isabel to tell her that she's got the job.

Camila drives Ignacio and Diego to the hospital with a truck loaded with gas cans and ladders. They scale the fence surrounding the hospital and climb up onto the roof with the gas cans wearing black ski masks over their face. Somehow they manage to walk right into the hospital without being seen, then they proceed to walk through the halls pouring gasoline all over the place. Diego spends extra time in Max's room making sure that it's sufficiently soaked.

Paola is still fighting for her life as Yolanda and Larry stand at her bedside telling her to be strong! Paco and Caramelo arrive for part two of the pep talk. They tell her about all of the lovely plans they have for her - they can travel as a family, united and beautiful.

Max awakes to find the masked men in his room and manages to demask them both, but that doesn't stop them from lighting a match and running, locking Max's door from the outside as they leave. These brainiacs didn't even wear tennis shoes for a quick getaway, but they still manage to get out and back to the truck unnoticed.

Max is trying to get out of the burning room and having no luck - he's bashing the window with a chair, but it just won't break! The director and Samantha are in his office when they hear the fire alarms and open the door to find the hallway in flames. Just then Diana wakes from a nightmare where the hospital is burning!

Ignacio and Diego are sitting in the truck watching the place burn when they hear the fire engines coming. They're not happy since they know that Max saw their faces.

The director uses a chair to break through a door in his office, but Samantha is paralyzed with fear and doesn't follow him.

As Diana is telling Emilio and Silvia about her nightmare, the doorbell rings. Gaviota has arrived and wants Diana to return to the mansion with Maxito.

Samantha is pinned to the floor by a burning log and she's asking forgiveness for how badly she's treated the patients.

Octavia is telling Larry and Yolanda that Paco will not be able to visit Paola in the hospital, when she receives a call that there's been a fire at the psychiatric hospital. She screams "is my son Max alive? Is he alive?" But we'll have to wait until Tuesday's episode to find out. I don't know about you kids, but I'm on pins and needles!
