Caray, Caray!

Pancho's in bad shape... he's been shot in the leg and his partner in crime not only refuses to get him a doctor, but he takes off with his share of the money from the bank robbery. Caramelo begs Paco to help him, but Paco tells her to get bent. She runs off to his hideout to help him.

Meanwhile, Diego tells Marfil over the phone that he'll have Fiona meet him at a construction site where there won't be any witnesses. Immediately after he kills Fiona, Marfil better turn over the mask. After they hang up, each talks about a plan to betray the other. She doesn't intend to return the mask, and he knows it, so he'll kill her after he kills Fiona. This guy gets bolder and dumber by the day!

The doorbell rings and Fiona comes in. She needs Diego's help with creating a false document that will show lab results saying she's pregnant. Diego is impactado. Fiona needs the doc so that Max will divorce Marfil and marry her, and since Diego has so many connections because of his being a piano teacher, he must be able to help her. He finally agrees, and tells her to meet him at a construction site at 9:30. She thinks it's odd, but she's not the sharpest knife in the drawer, so she agrees to meet him there.

Max is still trying to smooth things over with Diana, but she's holding out. He starts to make progress, but makes the mistake of calling her Azucena, which unleashes her wrath. But you know he doesn't back down... he continues to whisper sweet nothings until she agrees to meet with him alone the next day.

Caramelo arrives at the hideout where she finds Pancho a bloody mess and sees that his wound is infected, but he won't let her call an ambulance because he'll go back to jail. He convinces her that she'll need to operate to save him!

Fiona arrives at the construction site and is wandering aimlessly in a black satin blouse and dress pants calling Diego's name. She's surprised when Marfil greets her. Marfil tells her that Diego has betrayed her, and she plans to kill her so that she can't have Max's baby. Fiona turns to run and we see Diego climb into the driver's seat of a Caterpillar.

Caramelo disinfects a knife over an open flame and pours some rum over the wound, then digs around until she finds the bullet. Pancho passes out from the pain.

Next we see Fiona running through mud in dress shoes with Marfil, also wearing pumps, hot on her heels. Which makes me wonder - if you know you're going to a construction site with the intent to attack someone, wouldn't you wear some sturdy shoes? I digress. Soon both ladies are rolling in mud, but Marfil gets the better of Fiona and manages to throw her into a ravine. Fiona swears that she's not really pregnant, but Marfil doesn't believe her. She gives Diego the command and he starts up the Caterpillar and buries Fiona alive. My favorite part of this scene is when they replace Fiona with a dummy with a really cheap looking wig.

Marfil is thrilled with the results and tells Diego that she'll give him the mask tomorrow. He laughs and tells her he doesn't believe her, and now he'll handle her the same way that he handled Fiona. Then he starts up the Caterpillar and drives towards her. She turns to run - it's a sad run, really, and she doesn't get far before she falls on her butt and proceeds to crawl backwards in the mud while the Caterpillar is headed straight for her. Suddenly she finds a huge rock and throws it at him - WHAM! Bullseye! She hits him right in the melon and he's out cold! We knew Marfil wouldn't go down like this.

Diego wakes up and finds that Marfil is gone. He goes to where Fiona is buried and apologizes to her. He says he had no reason to kill her, it was just a question of survival. But no worries - her death won't be in vain. Marfil will be punished. Isn't it a shame how evil the sweet piano teacher has become?

Marfil arrives at casa Irazabal and doesn't bother to change clothes or bathe before she pours herself a stiff drink and talks to herself loudly about what's happened, waking Octavia in the process. Octavia wants to know what's going on - why is she so dirty and nervous? Marfil tells her that someone tried to attack her and she fell, and doesn't want to talk about it.

Just when I thought I was going to get to see a whole episode sans Chucky, we see her sitting on the bed in some kind of yoga pose chanting to herself that Larry will fall in love with her. Rod knocks on the door and saccharine Sharon returns. I don't know which one I hate more - Chucky or Saccharine Sharon. They're both pretty annoying.

Kike asks Fedora what she thinks about Larry and Sharon being novios. She looks uncomfortable as she sits with her arms around Gaby. Kike says that it appears that Larry is starting to fall for Sharon, as she reaches over and pulls Gaby to him. Little Doormat is always being controlled by someone, isn't she? Kike says that he's surprised that Fedora is allowing an Irazabal into the house. Just as he says this, Roddy enters and says that of course she's allowing it because she wants Sharon to be happy. Fedora looks as stiff as a board as he says this. Watching this scene makes me realize that this entire novela is like an infomercial against marriage.

Caramelo is concerned that Pancho won't wake up and he has a fever. She prays that he'll survive, then calls Diana the super nurse for assistance. Diana offers to call an ambulance, but Caramelo says she can't do that. He'll go back to jail. Caramelo wants Diana to come and help him. Diana the dunce agrees to go, and asks Sylvia to get her black bag. Since when do nurses carry black bags? Anyway, she shows up with Emilio in tow, puts her hair back in a pony tail, dons her latex gloves, and gets to work. Emilio is upset that Caramelo is still trying to help Pancho after all that he's done. This prompts a sermon from Diana about how we all know what a rotten scoundrel Pancho is, but in these moments we must forget about all of that. Pancho wakes and asks her not to let him die.

Camila calls Max and lets him know that Fiona was never pregnant, it was all a lie. Tomorrow she will provide him with the documentation so he can see it for himself. Max thinks that with the results in his hands, it will be easier to get Diana to forgive him. Apparently he's forgotten about the RAPE. Has everyone forgotten about the RAPE?

Throughout Monday's episode, we see Diana and Max telling different people about their upcoming meeting. It's too boring to recap. Marcela hopes Diana doesn't forgive him, Lala and Sylvia hope that she does.
