Caray, Caray!

Monday's episode begins with Max and Larry discussing Marfil and Diana. I could have this wrong, but it sounds like Max plans to use Marfil to make Diana jealous. (because that worked out so well when he did it with Fiona). He's not going to feel bad about it either, because she deserves it!

It looks like there's a blossoming romance between Paco and Yolanda. She's visiting him again and she's all smiles. They leave together, leaving Fiona alone at Paco's apartment (didn't he tell her to move out?)

When they leave, Fiona picks up the phone to call Alejandro (she still doesn't know that he's Max) about the baby.... but she's interrupted by a knock at the door that she assumes is Paco coming back for his keys. No dice, honey! It's Marfil and she's after you - that baby you're carrying can never be born because Alejandro is Max! Fiona's surprised, but it doesn't matter to her... Max/Alejandro, tomato/tomahto - whoever he is, he knocked her up and he's going to marry her! If he's Max, he'll have to divorce Marfil first, and Marfil tells her that will only happen over her dead body! A catfight ensues - there's plenty of hairpulling and attempted biting, but really it's just two ladies rolling around on the couch screaming at each other. It gets broken up by Emilio and Caramelo, who want to know why Fiona would be fighting with Marfil if she's preggers. Doesn't she know that she could lose the baby?

Mad Max talks to Silvia on the phone to see if she's delivered his message of love and remorse. She has, but Diana didn't buy that for a dollar! She practically forbade Silvia from saying his name in the house!

It turns out that Sharon y Pancho are old buddies from way back when. She goes to visit him at the room with the industrial size fan and tells him about her new stepmom, Fedora. He knows Fedora and her daughters, and now he has a plan! He calls Fedora and tells her that Sharon helped him smuggle jewels and he wants to meet with her in the morning. She better comply or her daughters will pay the price! Of course she's stupid enough to fall for this and shows up bright and early in the fan room. There, he blackmails her so that he doesn't tell the police about Sharon's involvement in the jewel smuggling ring. She doesn't want Rodrigo to be hurt and shamed by this, so she writes him a check for $10,000. Puh-lease! What kind of bank cashes a check for an escaped convict?

Octavia learns that Max is alive. Since she can't show emotion with facial expressions, she drops a glass to show that she's impactada.

Max returns to Emilio's apartment, where Diana is alone. He knocks and she answers without asking who's there. Odd behavior for a woman who was raped just a few days ago, but I digress. It's what you'd expect from Mad Max - he loves her and he's sorry. She's not falling for it this time. She doesn't love him after what he's done, she hates him and Alejandro! He asks her to forget what he did. How smooth is that? Diana throws him out on his ear, then goes running into the bedroom crying, where Miguelina and Silvi are waiting - they heard everything and they don't understand why she's resisting Max. (UM - WHAT? Are these people crazy?)

Yoland learns that Max is alive. She's so feliz. She also learns that he's a rapist, so she's not so feliz. Larry explains that Mad Max was really drunk that night. Yolanda responds that he'll have to win her back little by little. She's dressed as a Geisha today in a patterned kimono and her hair twisted up and sticking up in spikes behind her head. It's a little strange, but better than some of her outfits.

Fiona tells Max that she knows that he's Max, and that she's preggers, so he'll have to divorce Marfil and marry her. He says he'll do that when she shows him the test results as proof. I can't wait to see how Fi handles this one.

A few minutes later, he runs into his buddy Iggy and Camila on the beach. Iggy runs off to a cantina where Max is supposed to follow so they can have a beer together. As soon as Iggy leaves he tells Camila that he's Max and he knows that she was involved in the fire. She begs forgiveness and he promises to do that if she finds out if Fiona is really pregnant. Camila's quite proud that she's going to betray Iggy, Diego, Fiona, and Marfil, and still win Max's affection!

Dona Santa's in bad shape. She's been taken to Hospital TeleMiami. Fedora goes to casa Irazabal to break the news... Yolanda and Larry appreciate it, but Octavia tells her not to let the door hit her on the way out.

Back at casa Pedro, Marcela tells Max that she's going to marry Leonardo so that her mama will be comfortable. She doesn't love him, but he's a good man, so maybe love will come over time. He advises her against marriage sin amor. Too bad he hasn't figured out that she's in love with him!

Marcela is impactada when Octavia arrives and greets Alejandro with "Max, son!"

Credits roll.
