Juan Q - 9/19/07 - Chasing ghosts of himself
Alirio is fighting with Pastor about the post he’s been offered. He wants an executive post, Nid tells him he needs to come back down to earth, but Pastor says well actually I think she’s right, but unfortunately I have nothing like that, all the positions are occupied. Pastor says he’ll ask CL, just in case.
Juan greets Pastor on the way and asks how his Mom is doing. Juan goes to greet Marely who is less than cordial and tells him she’s super busy.
Juan goes in to tell Pau what he told CL. She presses him.
Pastor tells CL that Alirio wants a vice presidency. CL is having an amygdala attack about Juan’s story and heard nothing of Pastor’s rant. He tells Pastor she has another man. I say turn about is fair play.
Pau wants to know why Juan told him that, he says well it’s sort of the truth. She thanks him and says ok, now be on your way I have work to do. He asks her when they might have a chat. She says it will have to be later when I’m not so busy. He asks if she’s sure about that. She promises him. He pulls a flower out of his coat, kisses it and puts it on her desk as he departs. I felt that one right in my chest, how sweet.
Marely cries in the bathroom remembering Pau telling her she spent the night with Juan.
Pastor questions Cl if he’s sure, maybe she’s trying to make him jealous, or it’s just a fling. He says yes, and if she does, man she’s got some explaining to do. Grrrrrr. This is hard to take without hauling off and punching the TV set.
CL loses it and decides he should get the explanation right now. Pastor, in one of his more valiant moments, tries to talk him out of it. He tells him it will be counterproductive and this might be exactly what she wants, that you are making this more important than it should me. He cries about his image, his dignity and reputation. Pastor counters that passion without the firm hand of cold reasoning guiding it, is like leading the horse to the brink of despair. [Or something like that] Cl doesn’t want to hear anymore of his stupid advice because it’s because of that he’s in this mess. Pastor doesn’t give up, until the end. Then he wants to know what to tell Delirio. Cl says tell him to go home and we’ll research the case. Pastor’s final word curses him for being rude.
Cl marches right in yelling who is the guy. She plays dumb and says she’s trying to work and don’t yell at me. This has nothing to do with my work this is personal like you said so leave me alone I have a lot to do. He is not fond of this and says he won’t leave until she tells him. They get into a wrist lock.
Juan and Fer have a little spat and Fer wants to know what’s egging him. He says nothing. Fer says fine but go over there because you are making me dizzy with your coming and going.. Juan tells himself Fer’s right and that he’s always in control of himself and he’s losing his control.
Cl yells that she has to tell him who she slept with. She tells him to lower his voice and her private life is none of his business and his employees will disrespect him if he can’t keep his cool. He doesn’t care what these boobs think. He repeats his question. She repeats her private life is none of his concern. He thinks that means yes, and she says it means what I said that it’s none of your business. He warns she’s wrong and reaching a dangerous point. She warns him if he doesn’t leave her alone she’s have to leave her work and take even worse measures. He leaves.
Pastor gives the duo the news, and they say they’ll come back to talk to CL another day. She says they’ll wait for the boss to talk to them and won’t settle for anything less.
Cl goes down and tells Juan that after he leaves Pau at her house that he wants him to take CL to the house he brought her last night. Juan is impactado. He curses himself now what should he do.
Pau apologizes to her Mom for being rude. Yeah…Mom gives her a little piece of her mind. You tell her. She does pardon her though. Pau asks a favor, she wants her to pick her up. Mom is worried but will.
CL comes in and sees Nid and Ali and asks if they didn't arrange things with Gaytan. Nid says well he says it all depends on you. CL says how about tomorrow I look into it and let you know. Ali is fine with this, but Nid says that you are a man who always says tomorrow and Ali needs to know today so let's have it. She continues that his teeth are sharper than a piranha and there is no craftier, experimental lawyer than my husband and in any business he could earn millions. CL caves for some reason and says he could be very useful for questions of management. He says he could be the assessor of legal affairs of the presidency. Nid wants to give him a huge hug. Ali says how honored he is etc. Cl shuts him up only until he can ask about his salary. Cl says that's Gaytan's affair. Nid says no, I think I'd rather discuss it with you. Ali tries to get her out and she confirms that Ali can start tomorrow. She thanks him with hugs. CL wonders why he is tested this way.
Pastor meets them and confirms what happened. Alirio rubs in his face that yes he was contracted. They move to spread the good news to Marely and suggests that they can ride together. She says but she has to go to the University after. Nid notices that Marely has been crying and wants to know what's wrong. Mar says office stuff, there's always something difficult going on here.
Paula calls Marely in to tell her she doesn't want this Juan thing to tear them apart. She wants to continue being friends. Marely agrees they will be.
Juan rehashes to Kike that he thought he was going to chat with Paula about all this after work, but now the boss came up with the idea to go to this guy's house. Kike says well take him. Juan says he's not real! he can't believe he got himself into this and that he made up such a lie.
Yadi is at home and gets a bribe, er, flowers from Gutierrez.
Nid greets Fer on her way out and asks him why he didn't come to the wedding. She reminds him her house is always open to him. She sees that he is very healthy.
Once home Ali chastises her for having secrets with a chauffer, she says she isn't doing anything wrong being sociable to these people, and if that's a reason for divorce then she wants to know where to sign. Yadi asks them who Gutierrez is that he sent flowers. ALi is imapactado.
Paula runs out to her waiting mom in car and urges her to get moving quickly. Mama is wondering what's up.
Juan is waiting for Paula in the garage and wondering why she's taking so long to Kike. Eventually Marely comes down and breaks the news that Pau has already left. This makes Juan turn the color of ants. He can't believe she blew him off and he sort of shoots the messenger by getting mad at Marely that Pau can't do this to him, they were supposed to talk. She tells him she's the boss, she can do as she pleases and she did, and maybe you are dying to talk to her, but maybe she's not dying to talk to you. She ends by telling him she thought she did him a favor letting him know Pau was gone, but he can wait here all night for her if he wants. he says that's what he's going to do. He tells himself he can't believe she did this so underhandedly.
Mama asks Pau que the hell. Pau says well Juan is abusing my trust lately, she doesn't like his attitude. Mama doesn't believe that's possible.
Juan goes up to get CL, and he says they are going to solve their problem that that guy will pay with blood for what he did.
Ali and Nid are discussing the flowers/bribe situation. Nid tells her darling husband that he needs to make this guy disappear or else. Ali says he's innocent and doesn't know what he can do it's not his fault. He finally says alright I'll deal with him. She hands him the phone. He says right now? She nods yes.
Back at the ranch, CL is getting ready to go with Juan to take care of the hombre that boffed his chica and Juan says he has to think fast. He tells Cl he wants to talk.
Pau continues blaming Juan to her Mom that he looks at her like a woman and not his boss and that he makes her uncomfortable and this is why she needs to be as far away from him as possible. Mom still just isn't convinced that this is the Juan she knows.
Juan talks CL into letting him do the dirty work, that he will find out about this guy and report everything to CL because he is already close to Pau and can find out things easily etc. He dissuades him from going to the apartment because it will be bad if Pau finds out about this. Cl ends up agreeing and putting Juan to the task, and that if he gets the guy in front of him just like Juan is now, he'll make him suffer hard.

Foreer more I am Mad Bess Bonney with this qualifier: "Every pirate is a little bit crazy. You, though, are more than just a little bit. You can be a little bit unpredictable, but a pirate's life is far from full of certainties, so that fits in pretty well. Arr!"
Sylvia, if there are no yoga classes on the high seas, there should be. You're just the gal to start them.
Kris, thanks for the great recap!
