Caray, Caray!

Diego and Azul are reviewing their sad situation in the hospital corridor. She says she now realizes he didn't show up before because he had family obligations and he didn't deserve her lack of trust. Suddenly they see Mo walking up and they hurry into a supply closet. If he sees them, they will have some e'splainin' to do. Diego has a great idea. He calls Mo on his cell phone from three feet away with the closet door partly open so he can see Mo. Azul says that if he talks on the phone Mo will hear him. Doesn't matter. Diego talks and Mo doesn't hear him. I don't really get this nonsense. Diego claims he's in the ICU. He then goes to talk to Mo.

We cut to the rest of the family waiting in the waiting room, waiting for mom to get out of the quirafano (operating room).

Heavy breathing as Diego and Azul look at each other in the closet. She leaves.

Arnaldo and his father continue their argument. Father is a hypocrite for disparaging Arnaldo's sexual preferences.

Azul seems nervous around Mo. Diego comes up. She didn't expect him so early. They discuss a job offer. Mo will offer Diego a 50 percent reduction in salary as he pays him back. Diego doesn't want debts to Mo, but he accepts immediately. I listened to this three times to see if I missed something, but no, he just accepts without explanation.
Azul says: You can't accept. She doesn't want him around. Cut to commercial.
He says he must take the work because of his mom. We hear the piano of doom.

GCSSD and Ines discuss living together as their secret is out.

Diego wants to sign a loan document. Azul will be giving him an intake interview. Seems like typical HR stuff, but after the fact! We hear barking dogs Sounds like they are not meant to be part of the scene. Mo holds Azul very tightly. He says Diego will be great for them. It's still not clear what Diego will be doing. Maybe PR. He has no experience but a suit salesman, but Mo seems to think this will transfer into some kind of merchandising talent.

Silvana is playing the jealous girlfriend with Diego. She is upset he will see Azul every day. I would be too. Diego blows it off. I still don't get this. He is still trying to get Azul back, but he claims to be serious about Silvana. Discussion question of the day: This makes him very unlikable, I think, and another problem as a hero. What do you think?

Azul and Mo are sitting in the living room at opposite ends of the couch. The King Kong soundtrack plays in the background. He then moves over and rubs her leg.

Gloria advises Silvana to dig her claws in to fight for Diego.

Diego, Abuelo, and two other guys I don't know eat a meal and discuss Diego's new job.

Diego calls Azul, and they have another one of their pissy conversations about scheduling the interview.

Andres and Leo are pondering what to do about the arrival of Diego. Andres says that he's afraid Diego will take his place, but Leo says, no, not while she's around.

GSD has an argument with the kids over dinner. It ends up with him telling them it's their problem if they can't accept his situation. (But he can't accept Arnaldo. Creep!)

Mom is upset that Diego has taken on debt for her, but he is happy to do it. Dad slumps out fo the room.

Diego goes for the interview. There is a large photo of Mo and Azul on the desk. Azul dons her glasses to look serious. Now we see a big picture of Mo. Their hands keep touching while they play around with borrowing a pen.

She says Mo is very generous. But not enough to risk his life for a stranger, says Diego. Why won't she look him in the eyes. Stop bothering me.

Lidia and Paco bring nighties to Mom in the hospital. They are now getting married again. I have skimmed the previous two recaps, but I don't see how this happened. What happened?

Back to the interview. She looks hot and bothered. He won't answer her questions. She asks why he left his last job. Doesn't she know? He says he "couldn't work there."
We switch to Azul, Mo, and Diego leaving the premises. She will write a report tomorrow about his position in the six-person company. Memo to self should read: Don't wear white pants with bright red twin set. Mo volunteers Azul to drive Diego home. She is obviously going home herself. It's not clear when or why she sleeps over at Mo's and other times goes home.

After they leave, Andres asks Mo if he isn't worried about Diego and Azul being together. Mo gets angry and takes a big drink, then tells Andre to shut up and don't say such stupid things. Then he beats him up a bit and says that no one can take Azul from him. Andres threatens him that he knows too much about Mo and Mo knows too much about him. They are stuck with each other. Mo says get out. Leo says that Mo didn't really mean it.

Diego and Azul have a dumb spat in the car, of course. He makes fun of her driving, and she makes him get out of the car. He calls her neurotic as she leaves him in the rear view mirror. I cant stand this couple!

Andres and Leo plot what to do. Andres is upset because Mo regards him as a fiend after so many years of dirty work.

Mo now meets with GSD. GSD thanks Mo for his great lab and new salary, but it bothers him that he doesn't know anything about Mo's business. Mo says it's something very important and extraordinary. It's great for the world He proceeds to launch into a grandiose pronouncement about how they will solve the terrible global problem of drug-resistant bacteria and viruses. Huh? In this dinky one-man lab? Even if GSD was a Nobel prize winner, he wouldn't work on this kind of problem alone. Either this is a idealized TV version of science, or it's some way to mask some villainous plot he has, or both.

Azul confesses her foolish behavior to Ceci. Ceci essentially calls her an idiot, and rightfully so. Azul defends herself. Ceci calls her hysterical and neurotic. Azul calls her a clown.

Diego and Paco rehash.
Diego doesn't want to talk trash about the guy who's enabling him to help his mother.

Azul calls Diego 'cause now she's sorry, the twit. Is he home? He pretends he's still on the highway (carretera). He forgives her because she's the patrona (boss). Ha ha. He's very tired and has blisters, but he feels better when he talks to her.

Mo tells Andres that he spoke to Architect Escobar about a big plan he has--they'll have a conference tomorrow. Wow, would it surprise anyone to know it is our old friend Piero?

Silvana has another jealous fit about Azul. She doesn't want to lose Diego, she tells him, but he makes her suffer.

In the morning, Ceci and Azul get ready for work. Ceci jokes that Azul is late for Diego.

Mom is home from the hospital. The family sets up streamers. Paco comes over with flowers for his suegra-to-be.
Pop says that someone should stop the wedding.

No sooner has he uttered those words than we see Lidia flaunting herself before Piero in a slinky red dress. They exchange some double entendres that are somewhat confusing. She seems to be saying she wore it to show that he is out of her life. But he wants her to take it off. But not until he has a meeting with a very imporant client (Mo, I guess). She gets angry and picks up some money and throws it down on the desk. My recording cuts out here.

Well, folks, that's about as detailed a recap as you will get on this show from me. This week I'm on vacation, but I won't likely have time to do this in future.
