Caray, Caray!

Dimwit is entering her bedroom. She asks herself if Alejandro and Max are the same person.

Alejandro is shirtless and Princess Fi is in bed. The make-out session continues, but since this is day-time TV, Alejandro is on top of the covers and Princess Fi is under the covers when the scene ends.

Yolanda is having coffee with Pasta and complimenting him on his coffee-making skills. He says it's not uncommon for a guy to know his way around a kitchen. Suddenly Caramel bursts in with her clothes in tatters. She tearfully tells Pasta, Puncho raped her. Pasta demands to know where Puncho is so Pasta can kill him. Caramel refuses to tell him (and Yolanda concurs.) They don't want Pasta to get in trouble over such a low-life as Puncho.

Puncho's little ex-con buddy (sorry, I can't remember his name) is yelling at Puncho for raping that woman. "That's not a woman, that's my wife and I love her!" They squabble a few minutes, after which Puncho says Caramel can never leave him. NEVER!

Caramel tells Pasta that Pasta was right when he tried to tell her what a low-life Puncho is. Puncho is disgusting! Pasta runs out the door to hunt down Puncho and kill him. Yolanda tries to comfort Caramel. Caramel has never seen Puncho so violent in her life!

Doc V is talking to Marcela. I've not been able to watch or read the recaps for about a week or so. She's a new character from my standpoint. Apparently her Godmother, Dona Mercedes, is blind; but Saint Alejandro is apparently going to pay for the miracle surgery that will give her the gift of sight. Saint Alejandro seems to have just met Marcela and her family, but is already going to help her out. He must have taken a lesson from Diego on Amar sin Limites.

Pasta bursts into Lala's house looking for Puncho. Alas, he's not there. He tells Lala that HER son raped HIS daughter. Lala is impactada! Pasta then swears he's going to kill Puncho. Meanwhile, Lorenzo, newly shorn and shaved, appears with some red roses for Lala. He wants to ask her out. Lorenzo and Pasta are surprised to see one another. Pasta leaves and Lorenzo proceeds to start asking Lala out. He refers to himself as Marlon Brando. Lala says she's got enough problems with her dopey sons and doesn't want to add to them with another man in her life. Lorenzo tries to convince her, but she hands him back the flowers and sends the poor guy packing.

Princess Fi is gloating about her passionate afternoon with Alejandro. Octopus doesn't really care. Marfil says she doesn't care, but thinks to herself that if Alejandro is truly Max, she's going to kill that vixen, Princess Fi.

Alejandro is in his pajamas and calling Dimwit. "Tell me you've been waiting for my call. I need to hear your voice." Dimwit says how vain he is and denies she's be waiting by the phone. He then asks her to join him at his little soiree the next evening. After Dimwit hangs up, he comments that she has no idea what surprise awaits her tomorrow.

Alejandro then calls Princess Fi. She's more than happy to join the party tomorrow. Next on the list is Iggy. Alejandro tells Iggy to invite Camila as well. "No problem," says Iggy, "We'll be there." After Alejandro hangs up, Alejandro says, "Dimwit, Dimwit, Dimwit. You're going to pay for your betrayal." Next on the A-list is Diablo. Alejandro says he's sorry for the problems between them. Alejandro should have respected that Dimwit was Diablo's wife. He wants to make peace, and to show he has no hard feelings he invites Diablo to join the party. Diablo says he'll be there.

Iggy tells Camila she's invited to the party. She's skeptical, but agrees to go.

Caramel and Emili-Oh are shuffling around the hospital. She asks why he seems so sad. He wants to know if Caramel went to see Puncho. Caramel says no. Emili-Oh asks her to tell him the truth. Again, Caramel denies it. She says she never wants to see that sinverguenza ever again! At last, Caramel speaks the truth!

Fidiota is trying to counsel Mocosa. Fidiota wants Mocosa to play nice with her daughters and make friends. Mocosa has no intention of doing any such thing. She accuses Fidiota of stealing her father's affections. Clearly this heart-to-heart is going nowhere fast.

Alejandro starts greeting his guests and make excuses as to why they are there. First to arrive are Camila, Iggy, and a very skeptical Diablo. Diablo's got a chip on his shoulder the size of a concrete block, but the bonehead still shows up. The doorbell rings and it's Dimwit showing up in her Swiss Miss outfit. She is impactada to see the guests who have already arrived.

I believe Nurse Dulce is trying to talk Marcela into marrying Doctor Valladares. This makes no sense because Doc V and Marcela didn't seem to have much of a relationship when they talked earlier. I also have a sneaking suspicion that Marcela is in love with Alejandro. That would be in keeping with the show to date, in which virtually every woman is in love with Max/Alejandro. Personally, I'd much rather have Rene and his dimple. Dulce is trying to tell her if she marries Doc V, all her problems will be solved. Marcela agrees, but says she doesn't love him.

Fidiota is still trying to convince Mocosa to play nice. "After all, we all have to live together in this house." Mocosa continues to play the role of martyr. She just wants to make up for the time she lost with her father. Fidiota leaves and Mocosa laughs evilly.

Dulce is trying to make Marcela feel guilty for not getting Dr. V to marry her.

The natives are getting restless at Alejandro's house. Dimwit starts to leave and Alejandro takes her aside and says he just wants everyone to get along. He begs her to stay. Meanwhile, in the other room, Marfil, Iggy, Camila, and Diablo, are all trying to speculate why Alejandro brought them together.

Marcela still refuses to marry a man she doesn't love, even if it would help her situation. Suddenly Dr. V walks in. He wants to earn Marcela's love. She asks if he was listening; obviously he was. He then takes Marcela's hand and asks her to give him a chance. Sappy violin music plays in the background. He then asks her to marry him. He could make her happy. Ugh!

Fidiota and Little Doormat are having a spot of tea. Fidiota is trying to defend Mocosa; she's just unhappy because of the cards she's been dealt in life. "Try to be understanding. Be the bigger person and be nice to her." Little Doormat opines that as long as Mocosa is at the house, no one will be happy.

Roddy is confiding in Granny M that he doubts things are going to work out between Mocosa and Fidiota. Y' think?!

Camila is in Alejandro's bedroom looking for proof that Alejandro and Max are one and the same. In walks Dimwit. "What are you doing here?" asks Camila. Dimwit replies, "The same thing as you." Camila wants to know if Dimwit also suspects Alejandro is really Max. Of course since they hate each other, no one wants to admit anything to the other. Alejandro walks in and Camila says she was looking for the bathroom and ended up in his room by mistake. She runs out. Alejandro asks Dimwit if she was also looking for the bathroom. Dimwit says, "No, I'm trying to determine if you are truly my lover, Max." Commercial.

Dimwit demands that Alejandro look her directly in the eyes and tell her the truth. Alejandro, that weasel, can't do it. He turns his back to her and looks at the camera instead. Dimwit repeats the question and the Orchestra of Doom plays.

The coven is hanging out in the living room when Camila walks in. Diablo wants to know where Dimwit is. Camila says she's talking to Alejandro, but they are not kissing. Diablo still wants to kick Alejandro's butt. He rushes towards the room, but instead of bursting in, listens at the door. Alejandro is now looking at Dimwit and saying he is not Max. Max died years ago and she needs to move on. Dimwit says her head says he's not Max, but her heart says he IS Max. Alejandro swears up and down he's not Max. There are so few characters on this show that I truly like. Frankly I think Dimwit and Alejandro/Max are both morons and deserve one another. My disgust is interrupted by Diablo bursting into the bedroom saying he's been looking all over for Dimwit.

Fidiota and Roddy are kissing in Fidiota's office at Perfumes 'R Us, when Mocosa comes bursting in. She throws a tantrum about being Gaby's assistant. Fidiota and Gaby are trying to humiliate her on purpose! Mocosa yells she's at least gone to college, yet Gaby has only been a servant. It's not fair. Roddy says Mocosa has a point. Fidiota says Gaby's just trying to show Mocosa the ropes. Mocosa's temper tantrum gets louder and louder until she throws all the emails and photocopies on the floor and stomps out. Fidiota is furious that Roddy takes Mocosa's side. What a bunch of detestable characters.

Pasta is bemoaning the fact that Fidiota is married to Roddy. Yolanda tries to console him.

Dulce and Marcela are talking about the results of Dona Mercedes' surgery. They'll soon know if the surgery worked. I believe Marcela is waxing poetic about Alejandro who agreed to pay for the surgery without knowing her. In walks Dr. V. He wants to know if Marcela thought about his proposition. Marcela replies, "Now is not the time for me to give you an answer."

Marcela is wandering aimlessly outside her Godmother's room. She flashes back to when she first met Alejandro. She was crying about her Godmother and Alejandro comforted her. She then gets this dreamy look on her face, with a big smile, and keeps repeating Alejandro's name. Blech!

Diablo repeats that he's been looking for Dimwit. Dimwit states she's talking with Alejandro. "In his bedroom?" asks Diablo. Dimwit snottily replies she can talk to anyone she wants, anywhere she wants! So there!" Alejandro suggests they all return to the "party" in the living room.

Diablo and Dimwit start bickering and Alejandro excuses himself to get more drinks for this happy crowd. Diablo and Dimwit have the usual argument. Diablo says Dimwit is his wife and Dimwit replies only in the eyes of the law. "I hate you with all my soul!!" Dimwit tells off Diablo in front of everyone and storms out. Iggy can only repeat, "Wow!" Camila tells Diablo, "Apparently Dimwit isn't digging you any more." Diablo tells Camila to shut up. He doesn't want to hear her commentaries.

Mocosa is plotting something with Kick Me when Fidiota walks in. Fidiota says she's been thinking about what Mocosa said. She is going to give Mocosa a different job. Mocosa says "Great, I've always wanted to be the president of this company! But obviously that's not what you're going to say." Mocosa says she wants to have the same last name as her father. Fidiota says she's going to talk to Roddy about adopting Mocosa and giving her his name. That way everyone will be happy. Mocosa spews venom saying she doesn't need Fidiota playing the intermediary with Roddy. MEOW!!! HISS!!!

Lunkhead is swimming laps in his pool and Octopus is leaving a message for Iggy to call her. Lunkhead asks her about Iggy. He doesn't think Iggy is right for her. Octopus snaps at him saying she didn't ask his opinion. She likes Iggy and she can see whoever she wants. Besides, Iggy has changed. Octopus changes the subject and says she likes the idea of Lunkhead dating Mocosa. Lunkhead thinks to himself (hard to believe, but true) that Octopus wouldn't be so supportive if she knew Mocosa was Roddy's daughter and Fidiota's step-daughter.

More nastiness between Fidiota and Mocosa, with Fidiota refusing to rise to the bait. After Fidiota leaves, Mocosa mocks her.

Alejandro is grousing to Pedro. When Alejandro returned from the kitchen, Dimwit had left. So much for his plans of vengeance! Now he's not only accusing her of cheating on "Max" with Diablo, now he's accusing her of cheating on "Max" with "Alejandro." The fact that he's still married to Marfil and doing Princess Fi on the side seems to be lost on him. Pedro tries to say that Dimwit loves him, but Alejandro is bent on vengeance. He truly is Maxi-Moron!

Camila is sprawled out on the sofa trying to figure out what's going on with Alejandro. She needs to get on Alejandro's good side, even if it means betraying Diablo and Iggy. She doesn't want Max to know she had anything to do with the fire. Iggy asks if he can get her a drink, but Camila announces she's going out and runs out the door.

Alejandro runs into Marcela at the hospital and wants to know how Dona Mercedes is doing. Marcela advises him the bandages will come off tomorrow. Marcela is all but throwing herself at Alejandro's feet in gratitude. Marcela should stick with Doc V; he's a much better man!

Dimwit is telling Sylvie about the strange evening at Alejandro's. Dimwit says she's beginning to suspect Alejandro is really Max. Sylvia gasps! Suddenly the doorbell rings. In bursts Camila. She wants to know if Dimwit thinks Max and Alejandro are one and the same!

Credits roll.
