Caray, Caray!

Ana, spying on Paula and Juan from her window, gets bug-eyed and flap-jawed when Paula gives Juan a kiss. A smitten Juan attemps to wipe the kiss from his cheek onto his lips.

Kike comments to Fer that Juan and Paula are together a lot, smiling a lot. Fer says that CL has been asking him lots of questions about Juan. Fer can't believe that Juan could have put the ball in the basket (scored?) with Paula. Kike tells Fer not to discount Juan's superlative social talents. He's seen loads of chicks fall for Juan.

Juan thought bubbles that this is the happiest day of his life, it's right up there with his first communion when he got his first pair of boots. His thoughts are interrupted by a nice set of gams attached to an incredible bod topped by the face of an angel. The "angel" puts the moves on him but he insists that he, Juan Dominguez, has renovated his life. He will not succumb to her obvious charms.

Paula tells Ana there's a good chance she will leave Farell Industries. "Again?" asks Ana, "Do me the favor of telling me what really happened with Juan."

Juan, walking to night class, tells Kike that the big boss is infuriated that he, a simple chauffeur, bested him with his woman, but Juan Dominguez will not be fired, no Señor, Juan Dominguez will go on his own, he'll give his notice and punch CL in the nose! (He demonstrates his punching technique.) They arrive at school and Juan finishes by saying Paula renounced CL and stuck up for him (Juan). If Juan goes she goes. When one door closes another one opens.

Now it's Kike's turn to tell Juan about his misadventure at Casa Chacón...he was caught with his hands in the masa. He got caught in Yadira's trap and Julita told him to take a flying leap. It was a night of passion but not because he loves Yadira. "NO..." Juan gasps, mouth agape. Kike blathers on. "NO..." Juan gasps again. The camera pans to Yadira who sashays up behind them. Juan beats a hasty retreat.

Yadi, under the pretext of bringing Kike's lost schedule to him, says they need to talk. She had a terrible fight with Nidia, left home, and has made a decision...she and Kike will live together. "Que????" Kike wheezes, impactado.

Juan lurks outside the classroom, he peeks in the windows and ogles some of his melonious (con melones) classmates. He displays his physique and they ogle back.

Paula tells Ana that CL wants to fire Juan to punish her. She plans to renounce him (CL) because he's a stupid coward. Ana knows Paula hasn't told her the entire truth.

Kike laughs at Yadi and accuses her of joking. He says she opened the cage and her fat little dove flew away. Yadi reminds him of last night's passion but Kike remains firm and tells her to beat it. She wheedles and insists that she will stay right there and wait for him. As he runs off to class he tells her fine, but she'll be waiting for nothing.

In class, Kike tells Juan that Yadi only came to twist the knife. La Profesora walks in and Juan blatantly appreciates her attributes. "I didn't know this was an anatomy class," he thought-bubbles lecherously. She gives him the goo-goo eye.

Nidia paces, frets and cries and aks Marely if she has seen Yadira. Mari promises to help find her sister.

The Maestra asks her students one by one to turn in their homework. Juan figures he can stud-muffin his way out of not doing his. She calls Kike's name and poor Kike nervously stammers. She rudely asks if he intends to stutter all night long. Juan jumps up and begins blabbing their excuse, in reality it was all his fault Señora... "...Sabogal," she answers. "Sabogaaaaaaal," he growls and kisses her hand. She checks out his bodacious posterior as he returns to his seat.

Monica and Cl are having a doleful dinner. She feels at fault for all that has happened at the office, nevertheless she has a great idea. CL rolls his eyes and we are both thinking "What now Monica Buttinsky?" She says that since he will be without a VP the solution is obvious...she, Monica, will be his VP and work at his side!

CL looks sick, however he reluctantly agrees with MB's plan on one condition, she has to wait several days before starting work because...er...she hasn't completely recuperated yet. She pouts but agrees. CL gets his reprieve but only for a few days.

La Maestra tells Juan not to worry about his homework, he can bring it to her office in the morning. He and Kike high 5 while she admires his physique.

Pastor becomes irritated when Pastora admits that she went out by herself. (I don't believe we know where she went, do we? Hmmmm...) Pastora becomes irritated when Pastor tells her she has to take her new pills every night without fail.

Alirio tells the sleazy Gutierrez that he proposed to Nidia the convenience of Gutierrez getting together with Yadira. Since Nidia didn't give an emphatic "NO" things are looking favorable. Gutierrez says he won't wait forever and Alirio gives him his "word" that all will be arranged. Then Alirio somehow convinces Gutierrez to help him sort through the Farell documents saying "you scratch my back and I'll scratch yours." Gutierrez licks his lips lasciviously. (May I say that these two are great together? I can't wait to see the trouble they get into!)

Nidia freaks out because Mari can't find Yadi and none of their friends know where she is. Suddenly the phone rings and Nidia runs to answer it. Is it Yadi? "No, cuchi cuchi, it's Alirio." He tells her he's sure she's worried because he's working late. Gutierrez rolls his eyes. Nidia snaps "No problem" and hangs up. Alirio pretends she's still on the phone and makes copious smooching noises in front of a disgusted and amused Gutierrez.

In class La Profesora ignores Kike's raised hand and smiles at Juan; she only has eyes for him. After class Kike mentions the maestra's enthusiasm for Juan. Juan insists it's all a part of his strategy, the strategy to save their skin and their honor.

Ana sketches. The phone rings. It's an excited Juan and he wants to talk to Paula. Ana tries to hand the phone to Stoopid Paula who of course doesn't want to take the call. They whisper-argue while Stoopid Paula covers the phone. Instead of doing what I usually do in this situation, which is to tell the caller that the callee is standing in front of me but refuses to take the call, Ana lies and says Paula is asleep. I think my method is superior because people never ask me to fib more than the one time, while Ana will probably lie again and again for Stoopid Paula.

Juan thanks the Diosito, no doubt his love is in bed and dreaming of him. Gosh he's clueless.

Juan sees Yadi hanging outside the school so he pushes Kike out to her. She tells Kike she's not going home so she's going with him. Juan intervenes and suggests she go home to her worried mother. Yadi tells Juan to shut up, she's talking to the ringmaster (of the circus), not to the monkeys. Kike laughs but his smile turns upside down when Juan says "Adios" and leaves him alone in Yadi's clutches.

Gutierrez tells Alirio that he has found something interesting in the Farell documents. He has discovered the hole where the dough is leaking out of the company. Alirio is ecstatic, now he can report it and stop this boring work. "Are you crazy?" exclaims Gutierrez, "we're sitting on a gold mine! If we can find out exactly who is bleeding the company..." "...we can turn him in!" Alirio finishes. "No dummy," corrects Gutierrez, "we can get a big piece of the pie."

Yadi follows Kike down the street. He asks will she be his shadow all night? She logically enquires, how can there be a shadow where there's no sun? "Leave me in peace!" he yells as she blabs and skitters along behind him.

Alirio accuses Gutierrez of becoming delirious from too much caffeine. Gutierrez insists that if they can discover who authorized the shady transactions they can make the person pay to keep them quiet. Alirio is worried, it could be dangerous and bad for them. "No worse than what we did with Samuel Cachón's will," retorts Gutierrez. Alirio becomes huffy, "I did it for love, it's completely different!" Gutierrez reassures Alirio, "the thief who robs a thief deserves a hundred years of pardon."* They shake on it, these two thieves who would rob another thief, including each other.

Juan arrives home and tells a worried Marely that Yadi is with Kike.

Yadi and Kike are at his house. To her dismay he tells her to sleep on the couch. He was weak once, twice no.

Nidia has a cow when she hears Yadi is with that naco Kike. Mari scolds Nidia for saying that about Kike. Juan adds that he's a decent guy. He's not a farce or a traitor, he's a pan dulce (bun or sweet bread). Nidia insists he's a ferocious wolf and this morning she found him in Yadi's room; the both of them admitted he spent the night. Nidia spews and sputters about Kike the pervert until Mari finally leaves in disgust.

Nidia sets her eyes on Juan, her papi rico, the only one in the house who understands her. She hugs and massages him, complaining about her daughters, until he breaks free insisting he has to study.

The clocks tick, time passes, and Juan studies downstairs. He's completely dazed and confused by numbers and math. Mari eventually tiptoes down and feels sorry for him. She sits down to help him. As she instructs him on rational and irrational numbers Juan, who should be paying attention, thought bubbles that she's quite a woman. After everything she is still concerned for him. He smiles and begins his homework.

The sun rises and Ana sneaks out of the house to go to work. (Why is she sneaking?) Juan drives up, starts to converse, but she says she must run to work. She changes her mind and turns around. She has a question for Juan, "What's happening between you and Paula?" Juan stands there, stupified, with his silly smile frozen on his face. He wonders, how will he answer this question?

At Farell Industries the elevator door opens as Pastor admires his toupee in his grooming kit mirror. It must be early because the office gossips haven't yet arrived. CL strides into Pastor's office. He wants Pastor to prepare the terminations/final paychecks for Paula and Juan!

Ana asks, "Juan why the shocked face? It's a simple question." He begins to blather as he is wont to do when he's nervous...yes yes yes it's a very simple question very simple but the problem is he doesn't understand exactly what she means is she referring to him Juan Dominguez and and and what does she mean between her daughter and him is she referring to licenciada Paula and him?? Whew, dude take a breath! Ana tells Juan he knows perfectly well what she means.

She'll rephrase the question..."What are you and Paula up to?"
