Caray, Caray!

Mauricio's office: Leo comes in and offers Mauricio and Eva drinks. She leaves and Eva says Leo's an intelligent woman with one flaw: she's in love. Eva fills in Mauricio about the conversation she had with Leo earlier--except for their deal. Eva says Andres isn't brilliant and he needs to come back to the house where Eva will be watching him. As she goes to leave, Mauricio asks if Diego's waiting for her. She says no, but remember, he's going with me to New York. Mauricio sits at his desk with his forehead in his hand.
IHoP: Anibal says he and Paco fought a lot, but he never wanted anything bad to happen to Paco. He asks if Lidia knows anything and Diego says they had a fight. Isela doesn’t think that's enough reason for Paco to have taken off without saying anything. Isela goes to wait on some customers. Anibal tells Diego the cops have been looking for Paco for a week. Diego asks why Anibal fought with his dad. Anibal says it was over something stupid. Diego calls BS on that. Anibal tells him that he and Manuel dated Isela at the same time: eight years ago, after Anibal's wife (Paco's mom) died. Diego does the math and the numbers don't look good for Manuel. Anibal says he and Isela had a big fight and then Manuel asked her out. Anibal confirms that yes, this all happened while Diego's parents were married. Diego asks Anibal not to call his dad a "desgraciado", but then he agrees, his dad is a "desgraciado." Don't believe your dictionary, he doesn't mean "a disgrace" he means "a cheating bastard." Dramatic music plays as the frame freezes on Diego's disgusted face.

Isela is mad at Anabolic for telling Diego the truth about Isela's and Papa's relationship. "Are you crazy? You're an idiot!"

Meanwhile, Diego is leaving in a huff. Flavor wants to know what's going on. Diego refers to the fight between Papa and Anabolic. Flavor asks Diego, "Didn't you know Anabolic fired Papa from the insurance company?" I'm not sure if Flavor thinks the fight was over Papa getting fired. Whatever it is, Diego is off to get to the bottom of it.

Flavor starts hitting on Morticia and telling her how beautiful she is. He wants to take her dancing. Morticia isn't too sure at first but "tasty" Flavor convinces her. Azul and Diego's love theme plays.

Papa's Palace of Pain: Diego stomps into the house where Papa is reading the paper. Diego asks him how work went. Papa says he got off early. Diego then asks about Anabolic. "He's angry," says Papa. Finally Diego spits out that he talked to Flavor and Flavor says Papa was fired. Papa then asks Diego, why all the questions if he knows the answers. Diego then tells Papa he knows all about the affair with Isela. Papa and Diego get into a fight until Mama walks in and wants to know what all the shouting is about. Diego announces he's moving out and needs to pack. No one tells Mama the true reason for the fight. After Diego storms off, Mama wants to know QtH is going on. Papa says it's nothing. He'd like to take Mama out for dinner. "Did Diego find out about your affair with Isela?" Papa wants to know who told her. Papa then announces he's lost his appetite for dinner and walks out.

Evil Eva the Dominatrix makes Ivan the Terrible check for messages. He tells her only Burgay has called. She then makes ItT call Diego. ItT calls and gets Mama. Mama makes small talk with EEtD while they are waiting for Diego to take the call. EEtD wants to have a drink with Diego. They have a brief conversation about a chauffer, but I don't understand. It really doesn't seem to be a terribly important conversation. Diego agrees to meet EEtD. Mama tries to tell Diego to be careful. EEtD is a very powerful woman and Mama doesn't like what EEtD may be getting Diego into. Diego looks clueless. Mama doesn't want Diego to move out. Diego says he can no longer live with Papa, "But don't worry I'll see you every day."

Azul and Ceci are in their beds watching TV. Azul is mad that Ceci keeps changing the channel. Dang, Azul sure is annoying! Anyway, they discuss Leo and the sway she seems to hold over Mo and Andres. I think Ceci wants Azul to get Leo fired. I also believe there is some crack made alluding to how Azul managed to get Ceci fired. I encourage any of our viewers to fill in anything I may have missed in this scene.

Diego shows up at EEtD's suite. She asks if he's in a bad mood. Diego admits he is, but not with her. He's mad at Papa. Papa is a lying, cheating, ne'er do well who has been a jerk to Mama. Diego says he needs to get a room in a hotel, but EEtD prefers he stay with her. Diego doesn't think that's such a good idea. "When we're in NY, we'll have to share a room," says EEtD. Diego says there's no way he can go to NY. He doesn't have a visa or passport. EEtD says that won't be a problem; she can fix that problem in no time. Finally Diego admits he doesn't want to leave Mama's side in her time of need. "Is that the truth?" asks EEtD. "Yup. What else could it be?" replies Diego. Geez! EEtD relents, gives him a quick kiss, and walks off to take a cold shower.

The next morning Azul tells Mo she's not coming in to work if Ceci can't come with her. She has everything she needs at her apartment. Mo can email her if he needs anything. Mo says it's not his fault that Ceci can't be there; it's EEtD's fault. Azul won't budge, big surprise, and hangs up on Mo. Mo is mad and takes it out on Leo. I couldn't quite catch the exchange.

Diego is diagonally splayed out on the bed. ItT asks EEtD about the plane. She wants more time before she leaves. She then climbs on top of a dozing Diego and asks if he either loves her or wants her just a little bit. He replies he either loves her or wants her a bunch. That seems to satisfy her for now. She says she's going to take a bath and invites him to join her. Although he's half asleep, he seems to think that's a swell idea. It looks like EEtD has worn him out!

Azul is working from home when the doorbell rings. It's Mo trying to make nice. Azul is still mad; he's treating her like a 10-year-old by not letting her best friend visit her. Mo tries to say it's not his fault; it's EEtD's. Their business is very sensitive in nature and they can't run the risk of having a bunch of people in and out. Azul's tired of the secrets and feeling shut out. She finally tells him to leave. She needs time to think about her career. He says he'll call her tomorrow, but she corrects him, "I'll call YOU!"

EEtD is getting ready to leave. Diego offers to take her to the airport, but she says there's no need. She wants him to give something to Mo ASAP. She then says she's going to miss him and wants him to be careful. Blah, blah, blah. She's obviously stalling because she doesn't want to leave her boy toy to his own devices.

Close up shot of Andres tucking his shirt into his pants. Leo, of course, isn't far away. She tries to talk him out of leaving. He's tired of being held prisoner in the Mansion of Madness. He's putting on cologne and Leo is getting frantic. She's losing her hold over him. Lots of inappropriate touching which ratchets up the "Ick Factor." He then refers to her as "Tia" and walks out. She goes over to his cologne and rubs the bottle over her neck with her head tipped back in ecstasy. Finally she says, "He called me Tia!" and throws the bottle across the room and screams. Uh Oh!!!! Trouble in paradise!!!

GCSSD is sitting with a cigarette dangling from his lips. Apparently he can't get into the lab. He orders a sandwich and coffee from one of the housekeepers and is waiting, when Diego shows up. He tells Diego Mo isn't around and GCSSD can't get into his lab unless Mo opens the door. Diego thinks it's odd that GCSSD doesn't have keys to his lab. GCSSD replies he has keys to part of the lab, but not to the part where his things are located. He asks if Diego knows anything about the work, but Diego is clueless. GCSSD says he'll show Diego the area outside the lab, since only Mo can open the door. Suspenseful music plays.

Ceci is seated in a restaurant asking the waiter if they have any job openings. In walks Andres and I'm really wishing I was Ceci. What a pity Andres is such a psycho abuelo-killer. He's even smiling; I wish I could get a close up of those dimples of his! He wants to know what Ceci was saying to the waiter. *** Would you like a cup of paranoia to go with that psychosis? *** Ceci says she really needs a job and was asking if there were any waitress openings. Andres doesn't want her working as a waitress. He alludes to the fact it sucks working for people like Mo. She then mentions that he should quit his job. She tells him how smart he is and could do anything he wants; he should tell Mo to take a hike. He says he can't quit, but after Ceci starts asking questions, he says he doesn't want to talk about it. He says he's not like Mo; Ceci replies "Thank God for that!" They then start kissing. ***SIGH***

GCSSD is showing Diego the monitor that records what goes on in the lab. He works with bacteria, viruses, really cool stuff. Diego is impressed. GCSSD then goes on to say only Mo has the key to that lab. GCSSD points out how MO can watch every action taken by GCSSD. Finally they give up waiting and leave.

EEtD is babbling on and on to Burgay about how pure and wonderful Diego is. She needs Burgay to find him an equally pure and wonderful job that is LEGAL! She doesn't want her little boy toy doing anything that might sully his reputation. He's so smart and honest, etc. etc. Burgay looks at EEtD like she's totally lost it. Yup, she is showing signs of weakness. Burgay says Diego is just a dopey clothing salesman who doesn't know anything about business. EEtD's rambles for awhile until the light bulb goes on over her head. Find him a clothing business to run! If there was any doubt in Burgay's mind, there is no longer. EEtD has officially gone soft! She gives Burgay a big hug in gratitude.

GCSSD has decided to show up and surprise Emilia. She asks if they have a session scheduled, but he replies, "No. I just wanted to visit you. I should have called first but I don't use my cell phone. I can't get into my office and figured I'd come for a visit." Emilia says she has an hour until her first patient. They make small talk about Azul and Azul's thesis until GCSSD interrupts and tells Emilia how beautiful she looks in her turquoise Flashdance outfit. Emilia gets all giddy.

EEtD is still waxing poetic about her Diego. Burgay isn't really keen on the idea of her giving Diego a business to run. She tells Burgay it's not a request; it's an order. Find a clothing business for my Diegito. "Find a store struggling financially and make them an offer they can't refuse. I want this issue resolved by the time I return from NY." Burgay is skeptical, but what the hey. Whatever EEtD wants; EEtD gets!

GCSSD is still hitting on Emilia. He says how cool it is that he gets to work with deadly microorganisms and try to find antidotes. She seems to be impressed. Finally he says he doesn't want to talk about work any more. They have an hour until her first patient and her maid has gone to the market. He would really like to kiss her. She seems a little taken aback at first, but she seems to dig GCSSD. He weasels his way over to the sofa next to her and they kiss. Sappy music plays.

Burgay starts strong-arming a politician to find a clothing business in financial trouble that EEtD can buy. EEtD wants to get into the clothing business. Ramon, the politician, looks a little uneasy but apparently EEtD has a lot of dirt on him. He'll try to help as best he can.

Just when I thought I could make it through an episode without having to watch Piero and Lidia doing the "Leach-Lip" thing. Ugh! Lidia pushes him into a chair and does a flying leap on top of him. They are vacuuming each other's faces when the office door opens. It's Piero's wife, Lucia. The look of hurt on Lucia's face is pathetic. She calls Lidia a slut.

Credits roll.
