Caray, Caray!

Suddenly Papa bursts into the kitchen with Mama and Lidia in tow. Diego and Morticia were missed at Lidia's celebration (undoubtedly for her new promotion). Lidia pipes up that it appears Diego and Morticia have been having their own celebration.

Meanwhile Azul and Mo are kissing alongside the pool. At least he seems to kiss better than Piero the Lamprey. He tells Azul that he loves her and she tells him how much she missed him. More kissing. He then announces he wants to spend the rest of his life with her and he doesn't want to fight any more. Neither does Azul. He whisks her off her feet and carries her into the house. Of course the little scene is dragged out in slow motion.

Diego is crashed out on the sofa when Papa comes in. Papa wants to know why Diego is sleeping on the sofa and not in his room. That leads Papa to ask if he caught Diego kissing Morticia. Either Papa's confused or he makes a comment about Diego being confused since he must realize Morticia is not the woman Diego was so madly in love with. Papa goes on to talk about love, or whatever, and Diego asks if Papa is referring to Diego or Papa's life. Papa says he's talking about love "in general." Papa is actually being understanding; father and son have a nice heart-to-heart chat and the scene ends poignantly with them grasping each others' hands. It's a father-son bonding moment and the heart-tugging music adds to the ambience.

Morticia is back to her dark and brooding ways the next morning, as she's lurking in the kitchen with Mama. She grabs another cup and Mama says it won't be needed, Diego left early. Mama asks Morticia if she knows what Diego is up to. Morticia says Diego hasn't said a word to her. Papa then enters and asks how Morticia is doing. She glumly answers "bien." Papa then asks if she means a little "bien," more or less "bien," or very "bien." She mumbles "muy bien" and Papa flatly says he's happy. Mama gives these two a look like, "what the heck is going on?!"

Diego is visiting Abuelo and talking to him about "The Kiss" with Morticia. I'm not really sure what they are specifically saying. One of Abuelo's buddies come in and offers to fix them breakfast, I think. They then start talking about Abuelo coming to work with Diego the next day. Abuelo's hands always kept him fed. If anyone wants to add to this scene, feel free to comment.

Azul and Katy are hanging out at the pool. Azul asks if Katy likes the idea about Azul coming to work with Mo. Katy whimpers yes. Azul then asks why Katy is so sad. Is it because she's missing her mother? Tragic music plays.

Morticia is telling Emilia that something happened. Morticia wasn't prepared for it. Emilia says it was just a kiss. . .Morticia replies how important Diego is to her; she really needs his support. She doesn't want to lose him!

Katy is telling Azul how she dreams about Nico every night. Azul asks if Katy has told her dad. Katy replies that Mo gets very angry with her when she mentions Nicolas. Mo has told Katy to forget about the accident, but she can't. Azul tells Katy she loves her. More of the tragic music. Commercial.

Emilia tells Morticia it's normal that she feels isolated from people. After all, she spent a year in a clinic. I missed the part about Diego, but Emilia assures Morticia the risk will be worth the pain.

Mo is recounting to Andres how he ran into Morticia. He can't tell if she's dangerous or not. Mo then asks if everything is ready for the arrival of GCSSD. Azul appears and assures Mo that her father is always late, however he will eventually arrive. Andres leaves and Azul announces that she wants to take about Liliana's accident. Katy wants to know. The Exorcist theme plays.

Morticia arrives at Gloria's apartment. Gloria makes some excuses about being really busy. Morticia says she doesn't have time to chat. She just wants to know if she can stay with Mommie Dearest for a few days. Mommie looks nervous.

Mo doesn't believe Katy has anything to do with Azul wanting to know more about the accident. Mo wants to know why Azul is so interested. The Exorcist music continues to play in the background. Azul says the accident is a big deal for a little girl Katy's age. Mo claims Katy has no memory of the accident, and it's better that way. Azul begs to differ. Mo doesn't want to discuss it any further. Now he switches into his "good guy" role. "Today is too important a day to throw away," he says with an evil smile and the accompanying evil music.

Morticia says she doesn't want to depend on Diego and his family. Gloria reminds Morticia that she (Gloria) is Morticia's family. This strikes a raw nerve with Morticia. Morticia just states she has some decisions to make. Gloria wants to know what type of decisions. She admits she's never been involved with Morticia's life before, but asks that Morticia humor her with an answer. Finally Gloria hands Morticia keys to the apartment. "You can come and live whenever you'd like."

Mo is giving a pep-talk to Andres, Hannibaletta, Azul, and a bunch of extras. They are all hanging out under a gazebo in the garden. He wants them to grow the business in the industry, whatever that industry is. Given the creepy background music, we're apparently supposed to be left hanging. "This is the beginning of a wonderful association. This is not a business, it's a family and I respect and care for each and every one of you…" Hannibaletta smiles placatingly; Andre looks grim as always. You know, Andres is pretty hot for a lackey. I wonder if he has dimples. Since I've never seen him smile, I have no idea. So far he doesn't seem to be really excited about Mo's evil empire. Maybe he has a heart of gold under that sullen exterior. I digress. Now Mo is going on about how happy he is to introduce Azul as his Personnel Director and Public Relations Manager. Mo refers to Azul as "Licencia Toscano." Does that mean she's an attorney? An attorney who doesn't read either her or GCSSD's contracts? Suddenly Hannibaletta isn't so smiley. From the background GCSSD suddenly appears; obviously late to this stand up meeting. Mo introduces a flustered GCSSD as the new head of the lab. GCSSD looks totally distracted and flustered. Everyone applauds.

Hannibaletta is cooking up some evil fare in the kitchen with the spineless-but-hot Andres. I believe she tells Andres that Morticia is a threat to Mo and Andres needs to take care of the problem. Hannibaletta starts kissing the hand of Andres, who's grimly clutching a glass of milk.

Morticia is now wearing a blood-red dress and staring at herself in the camera's lens. There's a knock on the door. It's Mama. Mama wants to know if Morticia would like to go grocery shopping with her. Morticia can't, she has things to do. Mama then comments how different (and better) Morticia looks. Morticia says it's because she put on lipstick. Mama says it's more than that; Morticia's eyes seem more brilliant.

Azul is in Mo's office reading the contract her dad signed. Not only does she point out Mo has exaggerated the earnings of the business, she doesn't particularly like the fact that GCSSD signed such an inflexible contract. Mo says, "you know those crazy lawyers. . .they assured me I can easily change the contract if needed. This contract is just a formality. You know very well that intellectual properties belong to the individual." Azul then points out that the contract can't be easily broken. Mo basically tells her to "trust him." Next Azul starts in about the contracts of the other workers. They have no insurance. It's better to pay a little more, because it will save headaches and money later. Mo then blames everything on Andres.

Gloria has comes to lay some calla lilies on Nico's grave. Andres lurks in the background.

Diego and Morticia are at a restaurant. He tells her she looks particularly marvelous. They discuss the events of the previous evening (The Kiss). They both admit it was rather strange, but neither seem to be complaining. Morticia tells Diego it doesn't change anything between them. She then points out he didn't spend the night in "their" room. Diego asks, "We're you waiting for me?" Azul and Diego's love theme starts playing. What is this, a shared love theme now?

Apparently Mo agrees with Azul's suggestions. Azul then points out he's in rare form and asks, "What gives?" Mo's been acting strangely since he saw Morticia and since Azul started asking questions about Liliana. Mo gives this psychotic smile and says he's got to run to a meeting.

Morticia arrives at an ugly apartment building. A bunch of street urchins are playing in the parking lot. She grabs keys and starts to walk away, but she returns. Suddenly Gloria appears and is almost hit with a ball the urchins are playing with. She basically chides the kids. Inside, Morticia pulls out a handgun from her purse and hides it behind some books. Gloria walks in, "What a beautiful surprise! Have you decided to move in with me?" "No," replies Morticia. "I've just come for a visit." Gloria makes some comment how she's not used to someone waiting for her. She then goes on to say she went to the cemetery. Morticia looks impactada. Outside, Andres is continuing to lurk. Suspenseful music plays. Back at Gloria's, Gloria admits missing Nico. Morticia seems touched and asks if she and Gloria can have dinner together.

Gisela wants to know why Paco isn't having dinner with Lidia. "Are you fighting or what?" Paco says, "No."

At Mama and Papa's house, Diego, Lidia, and Mama are getting ready to serve dinner. Diego starts kidding Lidia about continuing the celebration. Mama tells Diego to leave his sister alone. Lidia says it normally doesn't bother her when she's in a good mood. Diego then makes nice. As they are sitting down to dinner, everyone asks where Paco is. She makes some excuse about him being an early bird? I don't get it.

Paco admits to Gisela that he and Lidia are fighting. He seems to be confused about what's going on. He obviously doesn't know what a conniving zorra his Lidia is.

Gloria asks, "with all due respect," if everything is going well with Diego. Gloria makes some comment about spying through the keyhole. Morticia replies if you were spying through the keyhole, you'd know all was well.

Dinner with Mama, Papa, Lidia, and Diego. They are discussing her new, more powerful position. She's going to meet a bunch of important people. They are all so proud!

Poor Paco is spilling his guts to Gisela. He loves Lidia so much, but now she has this new important job and makes more money. He's basically having an identity crisis and is convinced Lidia is losing interest in him because he's a nobody. Tears are in Paco's eyes as he asks Gisela for a shot of tequila. Gisela volunteers to give him the whole bottle. Pobre de Paco!

Gloria is rattling on and on about life, art, and traveling. Gloria seems to be a party animal. She tries to talk Morticia into traveling with her. At least this is the gist I got of the conversation.

Andres is reporting in to Mo about seeing a woman, who appears to be Nico's grandmother, at his grave. Mo didn't know Nico had a grandmother. Mo wants Andres to stick close to Morticia, but to remain discreet. Mo then chides Andres for not including insurance for the workers in their contracts. Azul found it. Mo pats Andres' cheek and tells him he's going to have to do a better job of hiding things from Azul. Exorcist music plays. Pobre de Andres, he's not making Mo happy, and if Mo isn't happy, Hannibaletta won't be happy either. Big sigh and head shake by Andres.

Azul is burning up the keyboard talking to her brother, Arnaldo. She tells him about her first day on the job. She asks Arnaldo about his day, but he says he can't chat with her right now. They can chat tomorrow. She points out she thought Brazil was boring. He dodges that topic and asks about Diego. Azul essentially writes back, "Diego, who?" She claims she's already forgotten about him.

Andres is glowering in the bedroom as Hannibaletta is turning down the bed. Andres is upset that Mo yelled at him about the contract. He says Azul "Esta Buscando Tres Pies al Gato," which I believe means Azul is splitting hairs. Hannibaletta tells him not to worry, Mo will forget all about it tomorrow. Hannibaletta then goes on to say that Azul is nothing more than a pawn, a social climber, a prostitute for Mo. She then asks if Andres has the hots for Azul. Hannibaletta, who has the straps of her peasant top falling off her shoulder, starts breathily asking "Te gusta?" ('Do you like her?') "Have you been checking her out?" I thought Hannibaletta was his mom. She sure seems to be a little too possessive of Andres. Andres clearly seems nervous and twitchy. Hannibaletta tells Andres that Azul is pretty but "bad." Now they are both sitting on the bed. She then languidly reaches into her nightstand and pulls out nail polish so Andres can do her nails. She then rolls her head back in ecstasy as he paints her nails. On the Gross Meter of one to ten, this is a 10+! 5Ft correctly points out we seem to have the Norman Bates' thing going on.

Diego is moping on his bed. Papa comes in and asks about Morticia. Diego says she's having dinner with her mother. Papa asks if Diego misses her and Diego replies, "For the moment, yes." Papa thinks that's a good sign, until Diego says he doesn't want to discuss Morticia with Papa. "Very well," says Papa, "I'll let you rest." Diego thanks him and Papa leaves. Diego continues to mope.

Azul comes into GCSSD's lab and wants to start asking him questions about the equipment and supplies. As they are talking, the phone rings. It's Inez. I think she said something about GCSSD's former employer wanting to talk to him. She also says something about her cello. I believe it's in the shop and she can't get it out until GCSSD pays for the repairs? I didn't catch the whole conversation. She's also surprised Azul answered the phone. GCSSD basically says they'll talk later and starts talking to Azul about the questionnaire before Azul can ask why Inez not only knows the phone number, but is also calling. There may be more to this scene than that, so feel free to jump in and fill in the blanks.

MOPPET ALERT!!! Katy is playing with her two dolls next to the pool. One doll is asking the other doll if he wants to go for a ride in the boat. The other doll wants to go for a ride in the car. The first doll doesn't want the second doll to ride in the car. The dolls then start fighting. Mo appears and wants to know if Katy has something to tell him and asks why one of Katy's dolls sounds so angry. Katy doesn't want to talk about it and asks, "Where's Azul?" Mo says she's working. Mo offers to play dolls with her but Katy refuses, taking her dolls and leaving. Exorcist music plays.

Morticia and Diego are taking a stroll. Diego whines she disappeared on him. Morticia asks if he was worried. He must have said he was concerned, since Morticia says she likes how much he cares for her.

Hannibaletta brings Azul a coffee. Azul thinks it would be a swell idea if they could provide coffee makers for all the employees so they can have coffee whenever they'd like. That's the way other businesses do it. Hannibaletta tells her "Whatever!" and walks out. Azul seems a bit taken aback by Hannibaletta's attitude.

Morticia is at her therapy session with. . .Diego! He does dishes, makes clothes, dances. . .and goes to therapy with stray women! This guy is truly a saint! Anyway, they discuss Morticia's stressful week; seeing Mo on the street, her mother's sudden reappearance. . .Morticia says she didn't sleep well at her mother's house last night. Diego pipes up that he didn't sleep well either. Emilia smiles knowingly and alludes to "The Kiss." Diego is surprised Emilia knows about it.

Inez and GCSSD are shacked up somewhere. Inez is worried about not being able to practice the cello and she apparently has a concert coming up. Suddenly GCSSD walks off and Inez wants to know where he's going. GCSSD appears from the other room with Inez' prized cello. She says the cello is broken. "Not any more!" says GCSSD. It's an "aw shucks!" moment. Apparently GCSSD has finally come through for her.

Azul is on the computer and can't understand why Arnaldo isn't responding to her message. The door bell rings and. . .lo and behold. . .it's Arnaldo!!!! We have a heart-warming reunion. Lots of "you look great's" and "I love you's!" Hugs all around as well.

Mo is driving in his car and flashing back to that fateful day when Liliana died. They are having a knock-down, drag-out fight. She says he's a disgrace and capable of anything. She also accuses him of being a killer and refuses to be his accomplice. She asks if he plans to kill her next. She starts running from the house and he's in hot pursuit asking where she thinks she's going. He threatens to kill her!

The happy reunion continues between Azul and Arnaldo. He looks so different! He asks if she's in love, and Azul replies she believes so.

Mo pulls up in front of Gloria's apartment and rings her doorbell. Gloria moves a red hat to look through the peep hole. "Who is it?" asks Gloria. Mo gives her his name and says he's looking for Morticia. The whole time the Exorcist theme is playing in the background. Gloria looks confused.

Credits roll!
