Caray, Caray!

Mucks tells Marcela that since he can't have Dimwit, he'll settle for second best – Marcela. He gives Marcela a dopey gift to prove his sincerity. Talk about a back-handed compliment. Marcela, who obviously suffers from no self-esteem, is happy to be the runner-up.

ChewKey has some snotty conversation with Fidiota. When Fidiota leaves to take a call, she pours Fidiota's tea into the plant Roddy gave Fidiota. ChewKey gloats, the hotter the tea, the better!

Puncho asks "Doctor Dimwit" if she's going to stop seeing him the way Caramel has. Caramel left with Emili-Oh. Pobre de Puncho. The scene ends with Dimwit promising to treat his wound and Puncho sitting their sniveling.

Marcela seems to have grown a spine. I think now she's realizing that she's being used as a tool to "forget Dimwit." She tells Mucks (in his ugly brown suit and white shoes) that she and Godmum plan to leave soon. Does that mean the show is going to end soon? We'd be so lucky!

ChewKey over-hears a call between Fidiota and Puncho. Puncho is demanding money for a private plane, I think.

Dimwit puts a dozen yellow roses on an altar at the hospital chapel. She begs the Virgin to help her forget Mucks.

Mucks tries to get Marcela to stay. Maybe one day he'll find a way to love her. Yup, that's about as convincing as he sounds. He throws Marcela's words back in her face, "You said that there would be another woman for me. Perhaps it will be you." That's not good enough for Marcela. She feels it's useless. Mucks will never love her. Mucks begs for more time.

Luv-luv for the match between Chew-Key and Fidiota.

Diego lets himself into the library where Marfil is standing. "Diego!" Orchestra of Doom.

More pathetic conversation between Mucks and Marcela. The most pathetic of all is Mucks' too-tight ugly cream-colored sweater vest over his purple shirt and tie. I'm sure he's wearing his white shoes to go with his white pants.

Diablo is trying to strangle Marfil until she knees him in the groin. Diablo is furious that Marfil is granting Mucks the divorce. Now Diablo wants his mask back. She runs out the door, but Diablo gathers it together and runs after her. The struggle continues poolside until they both fall in. Mucks keeps pushing Marfil's head under water. Commercial

Yolanda runs out and sees what's going on. She starts yelling at them to stop and then runs for Octopus' help.

More of Mucks and Marcela until Godmum walks in. Mucks leaves and Godmum can't see, but she can tell Marcela is tense. "What's going on?" "Nothing," replies Marcela. She then thought bubbles, "I love Mucks more and more each day."

Still luv-luv for Chewkey v. Fidiota. ChewKey knows the call she overheard wasn't a 'wrong number.' She knows it was a man, "but don't worry, I won't say a word to daddy!" Lots of dripping sarcasm. After everything Fidiota has doled out since we started watching this show, it's fun to see someone stand up to her manipulations.

Emili-Oh asks Caramel if she still loves Puncho. Orchestra of Doom.

What an awesome fight between Marfil and Diablo. The fight leaves the pool with Octopus and Yolanda in hot pursuit. It works its way down to the beach with lots of shouting, punching, sand throwing, etc. Diablo is covered in sand from head to toe now. He looks like he's been tarred and feathered. Meanwhile, Marfil's white top still seems to look pretty clean and white, although she was in the pool and rolling around on the sand with Diablo. I guess she signed a better contract than Diablo; she's definitely less sandy than her adversary. Diablo will probably be washing sand off for days on end.

Mutual blackmailing between ChewKey and Fidiota until naïve Roddy appears and wants to know why they aren't coming to breakfast. ChewKey says they're discussing business. Roddy thinks that's wonderful his angel is developing a head for business. ChewKey says she wants to name the new fragrance "Liar" since all women lie. Roddy looks perplexed but says that sounds good to him. ChewKey heads off for breakfast with Roddy and Fidiota in tow.

The fight between Marfil and Diablo continues. Marfil looks even cleaner now, despite all the rolling in the sand and sand throwing. Yolanda and Octopus call for Lunkhead to intervene.

Fidiota tells Roddy she has a headache and won't be eating after all. "Don't worry, I'll be good as new tomorrow!" Roddy wants to call the doctor but Fidiota says she'll be fine. She just needs to rest.

Now Diablo and Marfil are bone dry, but they continue to roll around in the sand. Lunkhead rushes to the scene like Mighty Mouse and saves the day. Diablo finds an oar but Lunkhead fends him off. Diablo says he and Lunkhead aren't finished. "You know where to find me!" replies Lunkhead. Octopus wants Marfil to call the police but Marfil refuses. Everyone wants to know what the heck is going on between Marfil and Diablo. Aahhh, if only they knew!

Fidiota is grousing about ChewKey being the Spawn of Satan, when Granny M wants to know why Fidiota isn't eating breakfast She tells Granny M how awful ChewKey is. Granny M suggests she evict ChewKey. "I can't. It will ruin things with Roddy." At this point Lala comes running in, "Nick, Heath, Jared! There's a fire in the living room!" Actually, what she wants them to do is follow her to the living room. Something crazy has happened. They all go running downstairs to see that the plant Roddy gave Fidiota has died overnight. It was fine the night before; now it's dead!

Emili-Oh is upset. He accuses Caramel of still loving Puncho. "No, I just want to help him. I don't love him any more; I love YOU!" She then kisses him to prove her point.

Doc V approaches Dimwit and wants to know how her heart is doing. His sucks. She tells him hers is the same. He reaches out and creepily starts massaging her shoulder. I swear they then stare at each other – him with a goofy look and her with her trademarked glassy-eyed head tilt. This screams totally inappropriate behavior between doc and nurse, but hey, the laws of physics fail to apply in telenovelaland. After what seems like five minutes of staring at each other, Mucks walks in and sees them. He is impactado. Good!

Now Roddy, ChewKey, and Gaby join the discussion about the plant. Roddy promises to buy Fidiota a new one. He then leaves with ChewKey to take her to work. Gaby, Lala, and Granny M all tell Fidiota to throw ChewKey out. Fidiota says she can't because of Roddy.

Mucks wants to talk to Dimwit alone but Dimwit wants Doc V to stay. Mucks gets mad and leaves. Doc V tells Dimwit that Mucks appears to be jealous.

Fidiota comes to see Puncho and warn him to quit calling her. It's causing problems with the family. When she has information regarding the plane, she'll let him know. She struts out and ChewKey pops up from inside a barrel laughing, like a jack-in-the-box! ChewKey then makes some snotty comment about Fidiota.

Doc V wants to know if Dimwit really thinks Mucks has come to talk to a specialist regarding Godmum, or is just checking up on Dimwit. Dimwit says it's all the same to her. She just wants to forget he exists!

Marfil faces the inquisition regarding her reluctance to call the police. Even Lunkhead doesn't believe her lame excuse that Diego is mad about Marfil's divorce from Mucks. Marfil leaves and the rest try to figure out what's going on between Marfil and Diablo. They think it's very strange indeed!

ChewKey and Puncho gloat. ChewKey swears she's not going to rest until she destroys the marriage between Roddy and Fidiota.

Iggy shows up at the hospital after Dimwit's call. He's intrigued she called him. She fondles his face and seductively says she's jealous about his marriage to Octopus. Commercial.

Diego, who now has four red lines drawn on his face – presumably scratches – calls to threaten Marfil. She's not afraid and tells him to quit calling. She hangs up and says she's going to have to kill him like Princess Fi.

Godmum says she walked by the library and heard Marcela crying. She wants to know why.

Iggy is suspicious of Dimwit's seductive motives. She starts laying it on thick and heavy. Now that Mucks is dead she's a free woman. She keeps touching his face. Iggy is now breathing heavy as Dimwit sashays off. Oh, he just can't stand it. It's like when we make our dog sit and stay then put a dog treat in front of her that she can't reach. Iggy seems to be losing the battle between the top half of his body and the lower half.

Mucks tells Lunkhead and Yolanda that he plans to marry another woman as soon as the divorce is final. Lunkhead and Yolanda are incredulous. "Who?"

Marcela denies she was crying. Godmum doesn't believe her.

Mucks says he's marrying Marcela. Lunkhead and Yolanda think that's a very bad idea. He doesn't love her. "That's OK, Marcela loves me enough for the both of us and it's my best option since Dimwit won't forgive me for raping her."

Dimwit calls Fidiota to say Iggy has fallen into the trap. Fidiota is thrilled. These two are disgusting. I'm really starting to enjoy the misery ChewKey is inflicting on that conniving Fidiota!

Pasta goes to the police station to report Princess Fi missing.

Alejandro goes to see Iggy. Iggy invites his best bud to the wedding.

Doc V calls Marcela to tell her Mucks came to the hospital to see Dimwit.

Iggy tells Alejandro he doesn’t love Octopus. She's beautiful and elegant, but it's simply a marriage of convenience. He laughs. "Looks like we're both foxes!"

Pasta tells the Police Chief that Princess Fi has been gone for four days and all her clothes and passport are still in the apartment. The Chief asks if Princess Fi has enemies. Pasta says, "Well, she got in a fight with Marfil, but I can't imagine Marfil would do anything bad." The Chief asks Pasta if he thinks Princess Fi could be dead. Pasta says he hopes not.

Doc V continues to stalk Marcela. She tells him whoever Mucks visits is Mucks' business, not hers. She then tells him to quit calling her; she's not supposed to get personal calls. Doc V hangs up and says to himself, "Marcela open your eyes! Mucks doesn't love you!"

Lunkhead and Yolanda think it's a shame that Dimwit and Mucks are apart.

The attorney calls Marfil and says she'll have to meet with Mucks to discuss the divorce. She agrees to meet at 10am.

Mucks has the unmitigated gall to ask Godmum for Marcela's hand in marriage. Part of his explanation to her is that only Marcela can help him forget Dimwit. Godmum says there is absolutely no way she'll agree to a marriage between him and her Godhija.

Credits roll.
