Caray, Caray!

Paula confides in Juan that yes, she's in a mood because she did have a fight with the Licenciado, and Juan is somewhat pleased about that. They have an endearing conversation about how all women are not the same and he doesn't seem convinced. She tells him good night and he asks if she isn't going to the fiesta. She tells him she's not in the mood. He tells her that in this mood is precisely when a party will do you good, you need to listen to music and dance and socialize and you will feel much better! Besides, he thinks she needs to take this important step to correct the relations between her family and the Cachons and if she doesn't show, it would be disrespectful. He convinces her to go, and she finally decides that he's right.

Marely and Yadi also have a sort of heart to heart, as they discuss that CL is putting the horns on his wife with none other than Paula! Marely swears Yadi to secrecy and she says how bad she feels for Paula because she seems really disillusioned about this whole thing and she says she tried to confront her with the truth, but she cowarded out. Yadi says she'll keep it under her hat. They agree that Paula will definitely discover something tonight at the party!

Ana and Juan are discussing him leaving, he feels bad for coming and then going right away, Ana is happy if he is happy and she thinks he's a decent person appreciates what a blessing he is, and he says she doesn't really know him that well because he's merely a "pingo" a naughty child. Juan says he just wishes the best for Paula and hopes that things work out. Ana wonders what he means, he says you know, her relationship with CL. Ana says yes that worries me. He says well he better not tell her what he knows then. Of course she begs him to tell her, so he outs that Paula was acting out of sorts because she had a falling out with CL.

CL absolutely loses his cool when Moni tells him she called Nid and sent his regrets, but oh, by the way she's still going! He suddenly becomes well enough to parade around the room and yell at the top of his lungs about how she just goes here and there whenever she pleases and does whatever she wants and what a horrible wife she is that she won't stay home and tend to her sick husband. Blech, this scene made me sick.

She holds her own and yells back at him, essentially that if he is so sick then let's just go to the hospital already. Again of course he denies needing a hospital. Just then the phone rings and she answers it in a very angry voice. It's Paula. Paula studders to say something but thinks better of it and hangs up without saying anything. Moni yells at CL that someone hung up on her and he thinks that's strange. She says yes a lot of strange things are happening so nothing surprises me anymore.

Juan rehashes CL's disappearing act to Ana. Ana asks what he thinks of CL.

Nidia shows up dressed like an aged Las Vegas revue performer and asks Marely what she thinks. Marely is impactada! She says she doesn't know what to say, she wouldn't wear anything like that, but yes, on you, well, you can pull it off. She ends up saying that on this occasion it really shouldn't matter how you look, rather it's important how you feel. That is a good come back...I'll remember that sometime.

Nid notices Marely's regalo, the little ring and asks where it came from and teases her about having a romantic interest. Marely won't say and wants to get ready without any help from her Mom. Thanks, but no thanks.


Juan says well he's behaved well with me but I can't say I know him super well. Ana says there's just something about him.

Ana and Juan go to pick up Paula and he remarks to himself that he feels like a part of the family, say a cousin, and not just a simple chauffeur.

Cl comes in to apologize AGAIN to Moni saying everything is his fault. She essentially tells him that she's beginning to think he was right that all this started when she decided not to travel and that they were going to begin living like a normal couple. CL smirks.

While getting ready Paula tells her Mom about the fight and that CL didn't want to show up at the office with her. I'm sure Ana is thinking Deju Vu!!!

Moni continues that now she's just beginning to get to know him - he denies this and says he is just loving her more. She thinks he's trying really hard to believe his own words and that now that a baby is on the way the rules of the game have completely changed. Cl wants to sleep on it. She tells him go she wants to be alone.

Alirio is borracho in a bar with Kike trying to convince him he's fine.

Paula finally comes out in green and Juan is impactado at her beauty and tells her she looks like a queen.

The fiesta begins!

Nid is excited about the gifts.Yadi comes down and Nid tells her she's worried that Alirio isn't here yet. What if he had second thoughts...she says she just got a chill. She continues speculating what may have happened to him.

Back at the bar Alirio is still professing his non- drunkenness..oh and he doesn't want to get married. He thinks he should leave Nidia to fend for herself and see how well she does. Kike is a little impactado as Ali keeps yelling for the Masero...he decides he is just fine here and doesn't need to go to the party.

Juan enters the party with Ana and Paula in tow. Nid is of course very excited to see him and physically shows this appreciation. Juan brings his things back upstairs and he's happy to be back. Nid comes in and begs him to go look for Alirio. Juan tries to calm her that he'll show up soon. She finally calms down, the slugging of champagne probably has something to do with that.

Back downstairs Juan offers A and P tequila and Paula accepts. Juan is thrilled! Just then the phone rings and it's Kike for Juan. Kike tells him he is the only macho who can help him out. Juan says he's busy, but Kike tells him why and Juan then tries to cover as Nid walks over. Too late. she picks up the phone, but only to invite him. Juan gets the phone back and tells him not to move, he'll be there.

Nid isn't stupid she wants to know what's up. He makes up a story about a friend needing his help but she presses so he confesses that Perafan is with Kike and he wants to give her a surprise but they need help.

Upstairs Yadi is teasing Mari about getting all spiffed up for Juan, and him being her galan. Mare denies it of course. She also teases that he arrived with none other than the Davilas.

Downstairs Juan asks Paula if he can borrow their car to go get Alirio. they respond yes, with the serenaders? He says hopefully, really he's drunk himself silly and well, I need to go help! They say ok and wish him luck! I love how he kisses the state goodbye as he takes his jacket from it.

Ana and Paula are discussing the possible disgrace when Nid asks them how they are doing. They are fine and they love her house. NId babbles about the good taste that her family has and that the architect designed a lot of it but many of the touches are her own. She asks if they would like a tour, and Ana goes but Paula stays.

At the bar Juan shows up to the rescue and Alirio switches allegiance. He is happy to see Juan and tells Kike to kiss off. Juan tries to convince Perafan that he needs to be at the party and that everyone is arriving already and waiting for him. He continues about how happy they will be in a few days when they are husband and wife. Alirio says I know that woman has despised me her whole life and she has never cared for me. Juan says eh, you are just drunk and not seeing things clearly.

Marely and Paula discuss what a twist it is that Ana and Nid are becoming "friends" they are both happy about it but think it's odd. Paula notices the ring, and guesses that Juan gave it to her. She teases Marely that maybe she is unwilling to admit that she is swooning over Juan!

CL sneaks into his office and tries to call Paula, but of course no one answers, just then Chelo shows up... he yells that she startled him. She apologizes and leaves to go back up. He says well he was just looking for some papers that he needs tomorrow. She says ok, pardon me for interfering where I don't belong but...I discovered what is happening with you, and I can't let this continue, so I will have to tell this gossip to the Mrs. CL is impactado fearing what is to come.
