Caray, Caray!

Leftovers: Emilia counsels Diego on his ill-conceived relationship with Silvana: "You may get over Azul, but that doesn't mean you'll fall for Silvana." Silvana attempts to pull rank on Chonita, but gets busted by Clemencia. Frijolito realizes that Azucena is Azul. Smart kid, that.

Clemencia tells Silvana that she has no right to talk to Chonita like that, or to make Clemencia feel unwelcome. She reminds Silvana that this is her son's house, and in exasperation, asks Silvana to admit she was in the wrong. Chonita doesn't stick around, but says she'll get the plates (vajillas) out and let Clemencia decide which ones she wants. Clemencia tells Silvana that because the relationship is informal, Silvana has no right to act like the lady of the manor. Silvana sucks it up and apologizes (and unfortunately, it looks like Clemencia bought it). I was really hoping for a better smackdown than that.

Frijolito thanks God for figuring out that Azucena is Azul and says he's going to tell Diego. God's like, "please do, kid, this has been going on way too long."

In Azulcena's therapy session, she tells her therapist that she's good with kids and that LuisFe thinks that she might have been a psychologist. Azulcena thinks being an actual honest-to-goodness, degreed psychologist is just to lofty for her. The "aw-shucks" persona she's adopted since the amnesia is beginning to wear on me. The therapist says they'll do some tests to see just how knowledgeable about psychology she is and proceed from there. Oh, that would suck, to be subjected to a comprehensive exam AGAIN because you couldn't remember you'd already taken it and passed it. Great, now I have a new nightmare.

LuisFe, Mario, and LuisFe's Mami are having an Azulcena meeting in the hospital cafeteria. Mario struck out at the national psychology association, but he intends to keep trying. "We must find out who she is" blah-blah-blah. LuisFe suggests enlisting Emilia's help and Mario mentions he has an appointment with her today. Yes, please let that be today in show-time, I'm dying over here!

Frijolito busts into MS's study to get Diego's number. Well, in all fairness, I don't think the door was locked, so it's more like he walked in.

GSD fills Emilia in on his meeting with Mario and LuisFe. GSD wants Emilia to help LuisFe's "girlfriend," and she would only be too happy to (since she's probably bored out of her mind). GSD cutely tells Emilia's bump that he's going to give Mommy a kiss and he wants baby to know that he loves baby even with out meeting baby, he's Daddy, and he loves baby. Emilia confirms that of course, baby heard that. It's saved from being sappy by GSD's matter-of-fact tone.

Mario hands over Azulcena's test results and LuisFe LIES and says she just has a stomach infection. Mario's like, whatever and Mami's relieved, but the sound guy knows that LuisFe is a BIG LYING LIAR!

Clemencia and Chonita have been working on dinner. As Clemencia explains to Silvana (who offers to help cook…yeah, right), Day of the Taco is coming (March 31…no, seriously, Google it) and since Lidia and Tavo looooove tacos so much, Clemencia is making tacos with different stewed meats ("guisados"…and a shout out to my nephew's nanny, who made us an excellent beef guisado a few weeks ago when we visited…I'm still dreaming about that guisado…what? Oh, right, recapping….) for dinner. Silvana's like, "oh, that's nice (not!)." The phone rings and Silvana makes a grab for it. I can't decide if Clemencia's being catty when she answers the phone "Diego Moran's house," but I'd like it if she were. Frijolito is on the other end, covering the phone's mouthpiece with his shirt and trying to make his voice deeper. He says he's a friend of Diego and has to talk to him because he knows where Azul is. He hangs up and Clemencia freaks out. Commercials. Silvana sits her down and gets her one of her heart pills. Clemencia passes on the message (no! don't do that!) that someone knows where Azul is.

Frijolito kneels in front of the Virgen just as MS comes into her office. He tells MS he wanted to talk to her and asks what would happen if he know who Azucena really was. MS, of course, can't imagine why he would and so assumes he's lying and forbids him to speak of it again, and especially not to Azulcena. Frijolito is dismissed. As he leaves, I notice the cross on the wall…isn't it the same one that used to hang on Leo's wall? Frijolito debates telling Azulcena anyway. MS suspects that Frijolito called someone on the phone.

Silvana talks Clemencia into not telling Diego. Clemencia, unfortunately, doesn't catch the subtext and buys into Silvana's arguments (Diego will only get his hopes up, we already have proof that she's dead, etc.) for not telling Diego.

Emilia breaks it to GSD that Silvana has moved into Diego's house. GSD acknowledges that Diego's young, but he's also a bit surprised that this happened so soon. GSD, of course can't complain too much since he was sleeping with Inés before his wife was dead. Mr. 5ft pointed out that he also jumped from Inés to Emilia pretty quickly. GSD seems kind of sad, but resigned.

Frijolito jumps the orphanage wall and heads out to make some cash for the phone.

Azulcena fills LuisFe in on her latest therapy appointment (which apparently happened in the hospital). LuisFe tells her that Mario had no luck at the national psych organization. He babbles about her "essence" being the same whether she knows who she is or not. Yep, she's still a twit, just in a different way. What? You were thinking it too. Azulcena tries to get him to agree to run off with her (and again, they're playing Todo Cambió…if I ever get my hands on the person who made that decision….), but LuisFe won't do it. LuisFe breaks the news that Azulcena is pregnant. And yes, it should be noted that "embarazada" means "pregnant" NOT "embarrassed!" Commercials. Azulcena is impactada. She extrapolates that she must be married and ponders who the baby-daddy is. LuisFe offers that if she never does find the baby-daddy, he'll give the baby his name. Azulcena thanks him for his support (but not in a Bartles & Jaymes way).

Ceci and Caty come skipping down the hospital corridor. Caty kept Mario's cell phone, and she just now told Ceci. Caty quite reasonably points out that it's not all her fault, since Mario forgot to ask for it back. Ceci gets Caty to agree that she won't accidentally hold on to something that's not hers again. Ceci says that Caty will now have to make her apologies to Mario. Caty carries this a step further and says they'll need to invite Mario out for ice cream so he won't be mad at them. She's a dead-eyed little moppet, but she sure did inherit Daddy's ability to scheme. Ceci doesn't think Mario will be able to, but Caty thinks Mario will want to skip out on work (irse de pinta).

Silvana *69s and find out the call came from the orphanage. She is Seriously. Freaked. Out.

Frijolito helps a lady carry grocery bags to her car for phone money. I know the Mexican economy's not great, but how many bags of groceries is this kid going to have to carry to make enough money for one phone call?

LuisFe and Azulcena are still sitting in one of the hospital's waiting areas, talking about the pregnancy. He lets her know that he lied to Mami and Mario because he wanted her to have the news first. He says they're going to have to tell Mami and MS so that Azulcena can get the care she needs. Azulcena thanks him for taking care of her…with a kiss…which Ceci and Caty walk in on. Come on, Ceci, you're a born metiche, stick around and see who he's kissing! But nooooo, Ceci leaves with Caty. LuisFe says if they could leave everything behind, he'd love to start all over with her, get married, etc. Azulcena says that's no longer possible. LuisFe is sad, but he says that's why he wanted to let her know, before she made any decisions. Azulcena says that the baby is a reminder that she has a past and that the baby-daddy is part of her past. She doesn't know if she was married or not, or what happened to him, but if she hadn't loved him will all her strength, she wouldn't have wanted to have his baby. Interesting logic.

At the boutique, Diego avoids giving Bruno an interview. Bruno being the journalist (and I use that term loosely) who broke the news of Diego and Silvana's supposed relationship.

Clemi tries a bit of guisado before letting Chonita know whether she should turn down the heat. Silvana comes in, back in her dress from earlier, and says she's got to go out. She offers for Clemi to just order out, but Clemi says she's almost done with the guisados (mmmmm, guisado) for the tacos. As Silvana walks out of the house her phone rings. It's Bruno and Silvana tells him that Diego's not going to give anybody an interview since he's upset about the news of their (gag) relationship showing up in the paper. She says she'll meet him in two hours outside Diego's house and give him an exclusive. Oh, please let them get busted by Diego.

Tavo and Efrain talk about Tavo's plan to make Lidia think she's marrying a poor man. Efrain doesn't think it's a good idea, but Tavo still has his doubts and has to be sure. Efrain quite reasonably points out that there's no sense in working so much if one isn't planning to share it with family. Tavo's still stuck on needing to know that she's not marrying him for his money. I agree with Efrain that this whole stunt could end the relationship. Except that this is Telenovelaland, so probably not, but Lidia will be in a right snit for a while and Tavo will have to make it up to her.

Sounds like Lidia has been working for Anibal lately. She's selling health insurance for plastic surgery, which Anibal points out works sort of like a low-interest loan. Lidia is planning to make a presentation to Silvana at dinner so that Silvana can point her in the direction of some models who might be interested in buying the insurance. Sounds like a decent business plan, that, except for the part where Silvana is involved. Anibal wonders why Lidia is trying to make so much money so quickly and Lidia says it's so that Tavo doesn't have to pay for the whole wedding. Plus, she's taking her mom's advice that a woman's got to have a little money of her own stashed away for a rainy day…or for the day you find out husband #1 is a sleazebag, whichever. Lidia's grateful to Anibal for teaching her about the value of hard work and is sorry that Manuel wasn't the one who taught her.

Frijolito has made it to Diego's house and from across the street, he watches Ceci and Caty walk in.

Ceci comes into the kitchen crying over seeing LuisFe kissing a girl. Frijolito rings the doorbell and asks to speak to Diego, but he has to contend with Caty. Caty won't let him in and thinks that Frijolito wants to get Diego to agree to send Caty to the orphanage. Frijolito throws his hands up and exclaims "women!" He plans to wait for Diego to show up.

Silvana is yelling at MS for the call. MS gives up Frijolito, which, HEY! She doesn't actually know she did it (although she tells Silvana she caught him doing it). MS tells Silvana that Frijolito said he knew who Azulcena was, although she thinks he's just making it up to get attention. Silvana demands to speak to "the little lentil" (lentejita) right away. Right then, LuisFe, Azulcena, and Mami walk up.

Ceci whines about running into LuisFe kissing his girlfriend and that she's probably going to be running into him even more now that he's going to be helping with Emilia's pregnancy. Clemencia says that one of two things will happen: either she'll keep running into LuisFe, or she'll end up liking Mario. Ceci doesn't think the second is likely. Clemencia points out that going out with Mario, his best friend, might look like she's just trying to be near LuisFe. That actually looks like she made Ceci seriously consider it.

Back in her room, hundreds of dolls watch as Caty calls Mario. He's like, "hey, I thought you were going to get Ceci to return my phone." Caty says that Ceci started crying at the hospital and told Clemencia that it was because she saw LuisFe kissing his girlfriend. Mario's kicking himself for not realizing that was a possibility. Caty invites him over to the house to pick up his cell phone.

Silvana listens at MS' door as LuisFe breaks the news that Azulcena is pregnant to MS and Mami. MS immediately starts praying. Mami assumes it's LuisFe's and says she's embarassed (avergonzada) to be his mother. She's upset that they carried on, even after she asked them not to, and in a convent, no less! Azulcena tries to stick up for him, but Mami doesn't want to hear any more. She asks if LuisFe is going to be so shameless (desvergonzado) as to deny that Azulcena's baby is his. LuisFe says he's not going to deny it. Azulcena looks shocked and Mami leaves, refusing to talk about it any further.

Frijolito watches as GSD and Emilia, and Mario show up at the house for dinner.

MS kicks Azulcena out of the orphanage for screwing around. She can't let her stick around corrupting innocent kids. Well, this is stupid! Why is LuisFe lying in such a damaging way? And why is Azulcena letting him?

Emilia, GSD, and Mario come into the living room and greet everybody. Ceci looks suspicious. Ooh, ooh, Mr. 5ft is hoping Mario will see a picture of Azulcena, but of course, we're not going to get that lucky. The occasion for the party is so that Tavo can ask Diego for Lidia's hand. Mario gets his cell phone back from Caty and makes to leave, but Clemencia makes him stay for tacos.

Back in Azulcena's room, she packs her meager belongings into a plastic bag and asks why LuisFe lied. He says he lied for Azulcena's benefit. We're both confused. LuisFe says that this way, if she doesn’t find the baby-daddy before the baby's born, they can just keep saying it's LuisFe's. Silvana listens at the door for this conversation as well. Azulcena keeps saying that regardless of what happened to baby-daddy, things just aren't going to work out with her and LuisFe. At least not until she gets her memory back. LuisFe's going to ask Mario to let Azulcena stay there for the night while Mario stays at his parents' house. Azulcena wants to talk to Frijolito before she leaves and LuisFe goes to find him. He runs into Silvana in the hallway and lets her into Azulcena's room.

Mario and Ceci go for a walk in the yard while Mario lets Ceci know that he's already been informed that Ceci saw Azulcena and LuisFe kissing. Mario boosts her ego and tells her she can't keep wasting her time on LuisFe. Azulcena is the only woman LuisFe has lost his head over like this.

Azulcena tells Silvana that she's been kicked out and that the baby's not LuisFe's. They never did it. Seriously? Even the time they went skinny-dipping? Silvana is impactada and thought bubbles that since the baby is Diego's now she's really going to have to get rid of Azulcena once and for all. Silvana says she's crying because she's thinking about how the baby will grow up without a father. Silvana says that if Azulcena can't find a place to stay, Silvana will take her somewhere (and drop her off a proper cliff this time).

Tomorrow: Silvana and Manuel plot and Bruno takes a picture of them.
