Caray, Caray!

Previously on Amar sin Limites: Andres and Mauricio fight over who loves their not-exactly-girlfriend more; Ceci tells Azul that Andres really is a killer…and also, he slept with his not-exactly-aunt. I have to agree with Ceci--if Mauricio and Leo died it sure would simplify things.

Hospital: Mauricio insists that Andres tell Ceci that he (Mauricio) didn't know anything about Andres killing his uncle and sleeping with Leo. Mauricio makes a snide remark about Ceci being ok with "strange" relationships and Andres tries to say that, being roommates, Azul may have that in common with Ceci. Mauricio's really happy that Andres is in luuuuurve and he gives the relationship his blessing. He's even willing to help out with separating Andres from Leo.

Eva's "office" (which is probably another part of her hotel suite): Eva gets off the phone wit Perez-Castelar after being informed that Lidia is still trying to get Piero out of jail. She tells P-C not to let Lidia do it. As she's hanging up the phone, Diego gets escorted in by a guy who looks like one of the Beatles from back in the mop top days. Diego apologizes for being late to work, but Eva already knows what's going on with Lidia trying to get Piero out of jail. Diego thinks it's because he's being followed again, but Eva tells him she found out because Lidia and Manuel gave Ivan that message for Leonarda. Eva offers to loan Diego the money, but he refuses, which only makes her luuuuuuurve him more. See, Azul was all wrong about Diego only being into Eva for the money. She tries to kiss him, but he reminds her he's only in this to see that justice is done in the matters of Abuelo and Paco (que descansen en paz). Eva dismisses him and says she'll call him if she needs him. Diego leaves and Eva tries really, really hard to squeeze out some tears.

Boutique: Gaspar fills in Efrain about the (fake) robbery and the subsequent trouble in Julio and Arnaldo's relationship. Well, to be honest, that relationship wasn't exactly solid to begin with. Efrain tells Gaspar he only wants him to be happy and takes off to go back to the garage.

Casa A&C: Arnaldo finds a purple sticky note on the door from Julio, asking him to call. He tells us it's over.

Boutique: Azul came to drop off Ceci after what appears to be an extremely long lunch. She didn't get to go on the teacup ride, though, just to hear about Andres' murderous past. Wow, she got cheated on that deal. Julio asks Azul if she's heard from Arnaldo and Arnaldo obliges by calling Azul's cell and telling her he doesn't want to talk to Julio. He asks to spend the night at her place, but she's got Chonita and Caty staying. He decides he'd rather not stay anywhere Julio might find him. Azul tells Julio that Arnaldo doesn't want to talk to him. Julio asks her, if Arnaldo calls again, to tell him that Julio's sorry and he didn't know what happened. Neither did Azul, if the confused look on her face is any indication…oh, wait, maybe that's her normal look?

Casa Moran: Mama waits for Lidia and Manuel to come home. They complain about not being able to get hold of Mauricio or any of his crew. Mama rubs it in their faces that Diego got the money they needed…except it's not enough, according to Lidia. She and Papa come up with the idea of using Piero's car as collateral for a loan to get the rest of the money. And off they go again.

Jail: Perez-Castelar says he can't help Piero with the 50,000 pesos, so Piero needs to think of someone who can. And he'd better do it before he gets moved into a cell with "el más temido" (the most feared) of the other prisoners. This gets Piero's brain moving. Piero sucks at growing facial hair, by the way. He's finally achieved 5 o'clock shadow after, what? Three or four days?

Casa Moran: Clemencia updates Diego on Lidia and Manuel's latest idea.

IHoP: Lidia and Manuel make a grievous tactical error. They assumed, since Isela lent Diego money, that she knew it was to get Piero out of jail. They ask her to take Piero's car and loan them the rest of the money. Isela tells them not only is she not interested in helping get Piero out of jail, she's even less interested since he's accused of killing Paco. Well, DUH, Lidia and Manuel!

Casa A&C: GSD comes over to talk to Azul and she sends Chonita to give Caty a bath and get her ready to go to sleep. Caty's all cutesy complaining…I bet Azul thinks being Caty's mommy is going to be nothing but cutesy stuff, but wait till Caty gets older and starts trying to run an evil corporate empire just like daddy did. GSD says he'll be pulling another all-nighter and needs to get some of Leo's blood. Azul tries to talk to him about Arnaldo, but GSD's not in the mood. He needs to take Efrain's course, "How to be an Emotionally Supportive Dad to an Adult Gay Son Instead of Being a Homophobic Jackass." Azul convinces GSD to tell her what's going on with him and Arnaldo. GSD gives his version--that Arnaldo didn't come home and Julio came looking for him. Azul's like, "You idiot! He was attacked while cleaning Tia Inés' house!"

Casa Efrain & Gaspar: Arnaldo comes over asking if he can stay there since he had a fight with Julio. Gaspar and Efrain exchange "uh-oh" looks.

Boutique: Ceci's getting ready to leave and she tries to talk Julio out of his sad mood. A large bouquet of flowers walks in. I don't even know if bouquet is the right word--it's the kind of arrangement you'd have on a side table or something, because it would block everyone's view if it were in the middle of the room. Ceci tells Julio it's for him, but actually the guy walking in with it is Andres. *sigh* Poor Julio, it's just not his day. Andres and Ceci walk outside. Ceci tries to thank Andres for the flowers, but he says he should be thanking her--he feels so much better after telling her what happened. Ceci says she doesn't think what happened was his fault. Andres tells her he was once capable of killing and now he's capable of doing anything for her love. Okay, that sounded much sweeter less homicidal when he said it--it really doesn't come across well typed. He starts to move in for a kiss, but realizes the flowers are getting in the way, so he puts them down. That was cute. Too. Darn. Cute. Why does the cutest guy on this show have to be an Abuelo killer? Ceci says she wants a relationship, but they have to talk about their expectations for each other. Andres is up for anything, as long as he can have Ceci. Ceci suggests they talk over ice cream. Okay, now I'm torn…they're both too cute. Poll: Who's cuter, Ceci or Andres?

IHoP: Isela rips Manuel and Lidia a new one for asking for money to get the man accused for Paco's murder out of jail. Oh, and by the way, Lidia's a tramp for marrying him without knowing whether Paco was alive or dead. She didn't actually use the word tramp, but it was implied. She says she's going to cancel the check, but Lidia takes it out of her purse and rips it up. Manuel tells Isela he can never forgive her for not having compassion for his daughter. Um, no, sorry Manuel, I'm on Isela's side on this one.

Casa Moran: Diego and Mama talk about Mauricio and Azul moving in together. Mama tries to push for Diego to get together with Silvana, but Diego tells her Silvana's with Flavio now. Diego says he's got to go pay the lawyer, so he's not staying to "merendar" (have an afternoon snack, have tea).

Casa E&G: Efrain is happy to have Arnaldo staying because he feels guilty. He thinks he had something to do with the whole misunderstanding because he went to the Boutique looking for Gaspar. Arnaldo says it's not his fault--there were already problems in the relationship. He Toscano's about how neither Julio or his father "really" knows him. Gaspar tries to tell Arnaldo how Julio changed his tune once he heard about the (fake) robbery. Arnaldo says since Julio cheats, he thinks everyone else does too. Efrain says that happens in all relationships…that is to say, the misunderstandings, not the cheating. Gaspar asks what's the deal with GSD. Arnaldo says that's something that's never going to be resolved.

Casa C&A: GSD feels bad for being nasty to Arnaldo and Julio now that he knows what happened. He now realizes he should have listened to them. Azul tells him that Arnaldo's fine physically, but he has emotional wounds. She asks why GSD is doing this to Arnaldo. GSD says it's Arnaldo who's doing it to him. Azul asks where it's written that everything has to be the way GSD wants. GSD gripes that Arnaldo is his only male child and was supposed to give him grandchildren. And also, he doesn't consider Arnaldo manly. He thinks there's something he might have been able to do. Azul tells him to accept Arnaldo as he is. GSD says he loves him more than either of them imagines…in fact, once he's done finding the cure for Melodramitis, he's going to find the cause of men and women "like that". Oh no he didn't! Azul tells him it's absurd and she can't believe a man of science would think like that. She tells him he's going to lose his son.

Casa Diego and Don Chucho: According to the lawyer (and I don't know which lawyer this is because I can't tell Diego's lawyer from Eva's), there's still a problem with Piero's citizenship. If he stays married to Lidia for 2 years and doesn't have any further problems with the law, it will be easier for him to be nationalized. Diego hands over a check for the lawyer's fees. Don Chucho tells Diego it's good that he kept back some money from Eva. Unfortunately, now Diego's really broke. DC tries to give Diego some money, but Diego won't take it. He does, however suggest that the two of them take Julio up on his work offer. Diego says he needs a second job, in addition to bodyguarding, and they can set up a little tailor shop right there in their apartment (which is way bigger than these guys should be able to afford, but anyway). The doorbell rings. It's Silvana, inviting Diego out to dinner. He tries to offer to cook for her, but she wants a pizza from the shop on the corner. DC encourages Diego to go and uses it as an opportunity to stuff some money in Diego's front pocket, claiming Diego had left it lying around. That's either a very large bill or Silvana's a cheap date.

Random street: Speaking of cheap, but cute, dates…Ceci and Andres are eating ice cream. Ceci thinks everyone deserves a second chance, but she never wants them to talk about him killing his uncle or sleeping with Leo ever again. Ceci doesn't want Andres and Leo living together, either. Andres says he's going to get away from her. Jacinto calls Andres on his cell to tell him Leo's sick. He tells Ceci he has to go. She offers to go with him and he agrees, but not before making a face.

IHoP: Anibal comes over to visit Isela. She tells him she's moving out and Anibal approves. Anibal brought over some pictures of Diego and Paco when they were younger. Isela tells him to take them to Diego himself. Anibal invites her to the movies or to show him her new apartment. Yeah, yeah, not in a smarmy way, he's just worried about her because she's so sad. Hm, there's sure going to be some fun times at Casa Silvana and Isela.

Pizzeria: Diego toasts to Silvana and Isela moving in together. He tells Silvana he can only take her for cheap food from now on because he won't accept a cent more than what he should be getting paid as bodyguard. *roll eyes* His self-righteous nobility irks me. He tells Silvana he's now interested in the same thing she is…justice for their murdered loved ones. Silvana looks positively turned on by this.

Casa A&C: Emilia and Azul talk about how GSD's been a jerk to Arnaldo. Emilia tells Azul it's a bad idea to have Caty there because Mauricio can use her to influence Azul. Azul reminisces about what she used to love about Mauricio…and then about how she luuuuuurved Diego. Azul says she's hanging out with Mauricio again because she feels guilty about (a) thinking he was a criminal and (b) falling in luuuuuurve with someone else when they were about to get married. She thinks the least she can do is be there for him. Azul wishes she'd never met Diego because then she could love Mauricio without any conflicts. She tells Emilia that Diego's a "desgraciado" (bastard, jerk, jackass, etc.) who doesn't deserve her love.

Mansión Malicia, v. 1.0: As they enter Leo's room, Jacinto tells GSD that Leo's symptoms started with a headache in the morning, then moved on to vomiting, and now, for an encore, she's hallucinating. She won't let GSD touch her. He freaks out, thinking that this will happen to Azul too. She keeps begging "Joaquin" not to hit her. I wonder if that was Andres' uncle?

Casa A&C: Emilia and Azul have another cup of coffee as Emilia says she hopes GSD finds a cure. She almost slips up when Azul says "see, you're worried about Mauricio too," but says she just doesn't want "anyone else" to die from this disease. Azul gripes some more about Diego going back to Eva, even though she admits she doesn't know if it's for romantic reasons or what. Azul calls Eva a "vieja resbalosa" (slippery old woman) and says she's sure if there's nothing romantic between them now, there will be. She asks Emilia to tell her how to forget Diego.

Pizzeria: Diego tells Silvana he's not back with Azul. He hates that she went back to Mauricio. He changes the subject to Flavio. Silvana likes that he makes her laugh. She's going to try to put her life back together again. Diego's so happy about that, he feeds her another slice of pizza.

Casa S&I: Anibal's glad that Isela moved in there because it's near Anibal's house. Isela says he can count on her as a friend. He asks if she doesn't miss him as a man, but the doorbell rings, so Isela goes to answer it. It's Flavio bringing over a rose for "The most beautiful of women!" Isela jokes about being Flavio's new mother-in-law. She goes to make them all some quesadillas and Anibal offers to help--after he tells Flavio to stay in the living room. Flavio admires a picture of Silvana in a red dress that's sitting by the phone…which starts ringing…and it's the sex line…and he hears the message…and he likes it!

Out in the hallway, Diego's walking Silvana home. He's glad that because of Flavio, Silvana's so different. Silvana says that Emilia deserves some of the credit. She rings the doorbell and invites Diego in, but he says he's got to get up early to work off that pizza. Hm, worrying about the waistline out loud is so unattractive. Silvana says she's going to visit Caty tomorrow, now that Diego's given her Caty's new address. Isela answers the door and tells Silvana that Flavio's waiting for her. After she goes in, Isela tells Diego she wants to talk to him. Uh-oh!

Flavio kisses Silvana in greeting and asks why she didn't tell him she has a "hot line". Silvana looks uncomfortable. I can't wait for the answer to this one.

Isela wants to know why Diego didn't tell her what the money was for. She tells Diego she doesn't want to see him again. Diego looks hurt and confused.

Tomorrow: Andres gets slapped, Diego finds out what happened to the check, Manuel's affair with Isela is thrown in his face again, Gaspar gives Arnaldo advice, and Diego and Azul do that up-in-each-other's-face-breathing-heavy thing again…or at least that's as much as I got before my DVR cut off. Good times.
