Caray, Caray!

We pick up where yesterday's episode left off:

Diego and Ivan are in the field where Ivan last took Eva. Diego reads the letter that gives him half of the boutique. He tells Ivan that there is also something in the letter for him. Ivan reads the letter and finds that Eva has left him a fortune. He is surprised and grateful that she remembered him at all. He knows that she also left Diego money but he doesn't know where it might be, since Eva was planning on running away with and living happily ever after with Diego, so she didn't tell Ivan where it was. Ivan tries to give Diego the money she left him so that he can unmask Mo and Diego refuses.

Azul and Ceci are chatting at Cocoyoco. They see Katy playing with her dolls. Now we see the emotional damage that Mo has done. She is burying her mami muneca so that Azul will not leave. Nice job Mo, you sadist. No father of the year award for you!

Ivan and Diego are both mourning Eva. Diego blames himself but Ivan now blames Mo and Boris for her death and seems to have forgiven Diego for being the love of her life instead of him. They decide to unite, for justice's sake in the deaths of Eva and the others. Diego agrees but draws the line at bloodshed.

Azul questions Katy (delicately - much better than Mo!) why she is burying her mommy doll. Katy responds so that Azul won't be angry with her and her papi, since Azul is now her mami.
Katy parrots Mo and says "No one in this house should speak of her anymore".

Andres arrives, sees Katy digging holes in the garden and freaks out, screaming at Katy. Seems maybe Katy has learned a few tricks from Andres - like burying bodies in the garden! Mo arrives just in time to calm Andres down. Andres orders Ceci to come with him (and she does!) and Azul tells Mo not to let Andres speak to Katy that way. Mo calms her down too. He's really very good at calming everyone, except himself.

Diego and Ivan are still scheming, best of buddies now. They want to bring down the whole mafia so they need to plan and stay close to Mo. Ivan takes a moment alone to mourn Eva, there at the tree, lighting a candle and leaving a white rose. Uh oh, is our bad guy turning into the good guy? I'm all for it.

Andres and Ceci are driving and chatting. (Do we really believe that Ceci can keep her mouth closed about her suspicions? Not I.) She asks Andres if Leo has called or written. Andres says no and that he wouldn't expect it. Ceci says it would be normal on vacation to "give some sign of life". (Is that what she said? I think so but....duh.) She looks at him pointedly and he looks a bit guilty.

Diego half-carries Ivan back to Silvana's and drops him on the sofa. Silvana wants to know why they are back, since when they half-carried Ivan out that morning, it was to prevent problems for the women there. Diego tries to recruit Silvana in their quest for revenge. But Silvana refuses to unite with the murderous Ivan, not even to avenge her son's death. Even though Ivan claims he is not like Mo, Silvana does not want to be associated with anyone who can kill another human being. (This said by the girl with the gun in hand at the beginning of this novela?) Ivan understands and thanks her for her help anyway. Diego helps Ivan out of the apartment and they leave. (I think it would be better to leave poor Ivan in one place!)

Azul leaves Cocoyoco, telling Mo that she is going to visit her father and Emilia. Mo wants to take her. Suspicion oozes out of his pores but Azul makes her escape - or so she thinks. Mo calls Jacinto to have a couple of his men tail her at all times.

Clemencia is hard at work when Anibal comes in. She wants to work harder than usual to pay off the family's debt to Anibal. Anibal says that matter is between him and Diego, the best friend of his own son Paco. (Woohoo, someone remembers Paco!)

Lucia herself delivers the divorce papers to the Moran house. Manuel tries to take them but Lucia insists on delivering them personally to Lidia.

Azul visits her dad and Emilia. He asks if she is protecting Diego for love. She admits it. Dad's not too happy with her, marrying Mo but loving Diego, lying to the police, etc.

Manuel is such a wimp! He goes upstairs to get Lidia, telling her someone needs to see her in the living room but doesn't tell her who. How do you say wimp in Spanish? They come downstairs and Lucia is there. Lucia says she has come to bring her an invitation from Piero. Divorce papers. Manuel chips in how he and Clemi don't want their preciosa to stay with Piero, it's better for everyone. Lidia says she'll sign and Manuel jumps to supply the pen. Lucia gets in one last jab and Lidia flings the papers at Lucia and runs from the room. Manuel once again jumps into action, to pick up the papers for Lucia and says see how he is on Lucia's side. Wimpisimo!

Azul chats with Emilia. They talk about Katy and the accident. Emilia says that Katy says her mother died when the car went over the cliff. She thinks it's odd that Katy speaks of it as though she were outside of the car when it went over. But Azul, being the bright bulb that she is, says"But that would mean the accident wasn't an accident." Orchestra music...

Diego and Chucho show up at the boutique to see Julio. Diego announces that he wants his half of the boutique but Julio wants to negotiate. Negotiate what, says Diego. Julio resents that Diego is going to cause problems in his life.

Azul and Emilia are busy putting two and two together and figure out that if someone had removed Katy from the car before it went over the cliff, then the other two could have been saved and that Katy was a witness to the death of her own mother and her best little buddy, Nico. Not to mention that she saw the killer. Azul voices a suspicion that it could have been Mo but when Emilia confornts that idea, Azul denies that she suspects Mo.

Mo towers over Katy as she cries. She did as he said and buried her doll but Andres came and yelled at her. She has questions. Why did mami Liliana and Nico die and not me? Will you quit loving me because I'm bad and these ugly things happen because of me? Is it my fault that people die? Mo "comforts" her (I use the term sarcastically), standing stick straight, with his hands clasped in front of him, a frown on his face. I'm your father, I will always protect you, you're confused, your memories are all mixed up. Forget about all that and live your new happy life with your new mami. Whose names will we never ever mention again? Of course, those would be Mami Liliana and Nico.

Silvana explains to Isela about Diego and Ivan's latest visit. Diego and Ivan wanted an alliance and how she, Silvana, refused to lower herself to Ivan's level. (What is that thing going up and down during this scene?) Isela agrees that Ivan and Eva were dangerous people. She then seems to try to convince Silvana that the only way she will be able to find out the truth about what happened to her son is to stay with Ivan and Diego.

Azul is rehashing to Emilia her childhood event where she caught GSD kissing Auntie Ines. She compares it to Katy watching her mother and friend die. They both repressed memories. Emilia suggests that Katy will remember things better if they can get her away from Daddy Dearest.

Ines is crying as she listens to cello music when Arnaldo comes in. She cries how alone she is and Arny asks, "What am I, chopped liver?" (not a direct translation) Ines says she has a little right to whine.

Andres lays a pink rose in the garden, crying and talking to Tia Leo. The pink rose lays there, sadly in the dirt until SMASH comes a foot. Mo has arrived. With that evil look on his face, Mo tells Andres he needs to be more careful. Andres reminds him that he's standing on the lovely Leo. Mo doesn't need to be reminded though. He tells Andres to act natural but Andres can't, what with Ceci asking all those questions. Mo says he is tired of that estupida. She busted up his planned little shower party with Azul that morning and ruined his opportunity for a little you-know-what.

Julio has moved the discussion with Diego to the little back room. Julio wants Diego to design clothes but leave them under the Julio Corso name. Diego wants credit but Julio doesn't want Arny's father finding out that Diego is working with him, after kidnapping his daughter and everything. (Like GSD will ever accept Julio) Diego agrees because he thinks that it will be a great place to meet Azul without Mo knowing. Julio is not too keen on turning the supply closet into Diego's love nest with a married woman. Oh and, don't tell Arny. But he agrees.

Arny is treating Auntie Ines to a day at the spa and an extreme makeover. (Let's see, who is available for Ines? How about Efrain?)

Gustavo, still looking for his customer's car, goes to see Diego at Casa Moran but, conveniently, only finds Lidia home. They compare problems and agree that hers are worse. (How long has it been since we've seen Lidia between the sheets? She must be in withdrawal by now)

Ah, Azul's first visit to the Love Shop. Gaspar shows up and sends them to an area more private.

Mo is eating with Emilia and GSD at Cocoyoco. GSD reintroduces the idea of going public with the virus investigation. Mo tells him that even though Eva is dead, there is now someone else in charge.

Ivan is on the phone with... Boris. Uh oh that can't be good. Ivan tells Boris that the mission is complete and Eva is dead. Ivan is now ready to take over the mafia. But Boris thought he was dead so he gave leadership to Mo. Besides, Ivan betrayed him and it was a good thing that he had an alternate plan to kill Eva since Ivan didn't do it. Oh and by the way Ivan it was all Mo's idea to kill you. I'm happy you're alive.

Mo tells GSD that they have a new lab for him.

The Love Shop is in business! Azul and Diego are lovey dovey in the supply closet and planning how to hide their encounters from Mo. Diego announces that he has accepted Eva's last wish and has taken on half the boutique. Azul does not look happy...(Get over it girl, Eva's dead)

Until next time.....
