Caray, Caray!

Tuesday's episode begins with Azul and Tia Inez at Alfredo's house where Inez is about to spill the beans about her relationship with Alfredo when Alfredo enters the room and stops her. He pours his ladies (the only people that he trusts) a glass of wine and while he serves dinner, Ines drains her wine glass. She's clearly fed up with this situation.

Next we see Silvana getting settled in at Diego's parents house. They'll be sharing a bedroom and Diego tells her that he's her guardian angel, and he has her in the palm of his hand. She says that's how small she feels - a woman could fit in the palm of his hand.

Meanwhile Aurelio is telling his compadre about his financial worries - he's gone through his savings. He's already sold his house and he didn't earn much off the deal. He's spent it all traveling and helping his daughter pay her mortgage.

In Clemencia's kitchen, Clemencia is talking to Silvana about how exceptional Diego is, when Clemencia says "what else would a mother say about her son?" which touches a nerve with Silvana. Clemencia quickly apologizes but Silvana says it doesn't cause her pain to think of her son, it only makes her cold, and she likes the cold. She also mension that she doesn't know where her mother is. Her name is Gloria, but she doesn't know where she is.

Back at Azul's apartment, she's thinking about Diego and crying... she throws the rose he gave her out the window and immediately regrets it and runs out the door to retrieve it. As she steps off the last step she twists her ankle and falls into the street, right in front of the taxi that's dropping off Ceci.

Mauricio tells his business partners that Toscano will not be able to leave his job at the lab for 5 years. They don't expect the project to take 5 years.

Ceci helps Azul limp back into their apartment. Just as she enters she gets a call from Mauricio and tells him about her ankle. He tells her not to move - he's on his way there.

Lidia is laying on her bed talking to Piero on the phone - she's mad that he's messed up their weekend together. His wife wakes up when she hears him talking and asks what he's doing - he claims to have been talking to his lawyer. She tells him that she loves him, but if he ever cheats on her, she swears that she will kill him. Yikes!

Mauricio's at Azul's apartment helping her ice her ankle. He wants her to come to his house where he can take care of her, but she says she'd rather stay home.

Ines is pressuring Alfredo to tell Azul the truth so that they can live their lives openly. Azul is an adult, and she's sensible. Alfredo tells her that since she's Azul's aunt, sometimes he feels sort of... perverse. This does not go over well with Ines! This Alfredo is really a smooth talker.

Apparently Mauricio has persuaded Azul to return to his house because the next scene shows Azul being carried into his living room by Mauricio.

Silvana is in Diego's room looking at pictures of Nico when Diego enters. She feels that Nico is with her all the time. Diego tells her they have a problem - he needs to change clothes and he thinks it would be strange to do that in front of her. He can't even go to the bathroom to change because he'd have to come back in his underwear since he doesn't have any pajamas. So he'll just sleep in his clothes. She gives him a kiss on the cheek and he turns off the light and slips under the covers.

Azul thanks Leonarda for serving such a nice breakfast, and tells her that her family never had breakfast together. Mauricio arrives and she tells him that she feels weird, his attitude of just letting things happen, not to worry or rush, is good, but they have things to talk about. She tells him that she plans to work for him.

At Diego's place, everyone's having breakfast when the doorbell rings. Diego answers it, expecting to see Paco, but it's Gloria - Silvana's mother! Silvana enters and asks what she's doing there. Gloria responds by givng her a hug. Diego offers to let them talk in his room, where they'll have privacy.

Azul is surprised that Mauricio isn't more excited about her decision. He tells her that he's very confused and he needs time to see how things turn out. She agrees and says she won't pressure him.

Alfredo has told Ines that he has something urgent to discuss with her, and when she arrives he admits that he just told her that so they could have breakfast together. She doesn't like the way that he's handling their relationship and she's sure that he has some problem that he needs her help resolving. He responds that the problem he has is that he can't be mad at her. She almost smiles in response.

Gloria is talking a mile a minute, but knows nothing about what's been going on with Silvana - she's heard that her husband left her, but she doesn't know why - she asks if he was cheating or beating her. Silvana looks like she's about to come unglued and finally blurts out that Nico died.

Clemencia is surprised to see Silvana's mother. Manuel figures that she got the address from someone and has come to help. That sounds good to Lidia - maybe Silvana will go stay with Gloria. Clemencia tells her to lower her voice. The doorbell rings again and Lidia runs out. At the doorway, Silvana is telling Gloria to go. Gloria asks if it's okay to call her later, but she gets no response from Silvana.

Katy shows Azul a picture of her mother and her friend Nico, who both died in the car accident. I hope I got this right, but I think that what Katy says is that if she had been with her mom, then at least her mom would have been okay.

Diego checks on Silvana to see if she wants to talk about her mother's visit, but she says she doesn't have the strength, she needs to think. He should go to work and they can talk later.

Leonarda is preparing an ice pack for Azul's ankle, and Mauricio ushers her from the kitchen so he can talk to Leonardo. She's worried about his doubts regarding Azul, but he says that Azul is coming around sooner than he thought. He hugs her and tells her that she's always thinking of him. I'm not sure what the relationship is here...

Diego calls home to check on Silvana and finds out that she's resting, so he calls to check on Diana and learns that she fell and twisted her ankle, it's not serious, but Ceci doesn't have time to talk as she's on her way out the door. She tells him to call back between 7 and 8.

Clemencia is talking to Silvana about how odd it is that Manuel's not home yet, when she realizes that Silvana's not listening. Silvana tells her that she was able to sleep without nightmares or dreams. Her mother's visit had a huge impact on her... Clemencia tries to make excuses for Gloria, saying that there's no manual for being a perfect mother. Silvana tells her that's another thing.

Isela is working when Manuel stops in to say hello. She says there must have been an accident on the corner of her street (in reference to him being an insurance agent?) and he says he's come to bring an insurance certificate. She tells him that she has a lot of customers who are waiting and it's better if he goes. He offers to help her, but she doesn't want her help. He tells her that he wants them to have a better relationship. It may not be important to her, but it is to him. She asks if he's finished, and he leaves.

Mauricio is reviewing the contract that Andres has drafted for Alfredo. He wants Andres to include a clause saying that it will cost Alfredo more than Mauricio if Alfredo decides to leave. He tells Andres to find a lawyer to write it up - he doesn't care if it's Saturday.

Diego's shredding carrots (he looks good and he cooks!) and he's talking to Silvana about Gloria's visit. She says that her mother always shows up with gifts after being away. She needs to get used to it and find a way to forgive her.

Azul is hanging out by the pool chatting with her brother on the phone when Mauricio walks up and asks what's going on with him. She doesn't know, but he's really sad. Mauricio suggests that he come to visit, which she thinks is an excellent idea. He lets her know that Andres is working on her and Alfredo's contracts, and that her salary will be $50,000.

Silvana and Diego are talking... he asks if he's talked to Azul and he says that he hasn't. She asks if he's still interested in her and when he says of course he is, and she raises her voice and tells him "in that case, do something!" It's a little bit spooky, and Diego just nods in response to the strange outburst.

Mauricio, Azul, and Katy are playing Scrabble and Azul is convinced that Mauricio is cheating. He says that he isn't and tells Katy to go look it up in the dictionary. It turns out that he's not cheating, which means that Azul loses the bet - she has to stay with them for a few days!

Silvana goes to visit Gloria, who's sitting around the house in a kimono.

Diego and Ceci are getting drunk - silly drunk. He asks what happened to Azul's foot, but Ceci says she's not authorized to say. She tells him that she wouldn't like it if a guy stood her up the way that he stood up Azul... It looks like they're about to kiss when he asks her again what happened to Azul's foot. Finally she gives in and tells him what happened.

Azul sneaks downstairs to call home and is surprised when Diego answers the phone. He tells her that he heard that she fell, how is her little foot? Credits roll.
