Caray, Caray!

Juan tells Morondon that he doesn’t love Herlinda and that he can’t marry her. Morondon is upset because Juan damaged Herlinda’s reputation and now doesn’t want to repair the irreparable damage he did to Herlinda, Juan asks him if he is in love with her, Morondon does’t want to admit it, but finally he accepts that he loves her. Juan tells him to talk to her and tell her how he feels. Morondon doesn’t want to do it because he is sure Herlinda only loves Juan. Juan explains to him that Herlinda was brought up under very strict rules, and the only reason she loves Juan is because he(Juan) showed her how was life outside the rules, since then she hasn’t have anybody that loved her, she did not have any other options. If Herlinda knows that somebody else loves her, she might accept him. Morondon doesn’t think her family will accept him. Juan has a plan (Oh no!) He says his middle name is cupid and he’ll make it happen.

Casimirio is yelling at Herlinda, because she went with Juan. He tells her that she has dishonored the family again. Herlinda is at her wits end, she doesn’t understand her father and brother. They told her to get Juan to marry her for any means possible and now when she did something to that end they yell at her. Casimiro tells her she is a “bruta” (dim wit). Mr. Chavez yells and tells him never to insult his sister again, and then he turns to Herlinda and tells her he doesn’t know what to do with her. She sadly replies that maybe she should be sent back to the convent.

Ana arrives to her house to find Paula waiting for her. She tells her that she has been to the hospital with Nidia. Paula wants to know what happened. Ana tells her that Nidia wasn’t pregnant. Impactada face from Paula.

Nidia is in the hospital, Yadi is brushing her hair. Delirio walks in and Nidia addresses him as Licenciado. Delirio is confused and doesn’t understand. He wants to know why she is calling him that. Is she mad at him? Nidia just laughs and asks him if he changed his title. Is he a Doctor or an Engineer? Why should she call him something else? She just tells him to give her a hug. he does and he tells her that he could do that all they long. Nidia looks confused.

Juan is with Juanito. He is teaching him how to say his prayers. Juanito wants to know if his uncle Morondon is not mad any more. Juan tells him that no, Morondon is not mad and pretty soon he will be very happy. Juanito smiles and asks Juan if he is getting a “novia” (girlfriend) for his uncle, because grown ups always get very happy when they get a girlfriend. Juan tells him to stop thinking about girlfriends and to go to sleep. He comes out of the room and finds Delfina. She looks very happy. Juan asks her if she has resigned to be by herself. She says that no, she was made to live with a man, and she has found the man of her life. She says he has the 3 Fs: Feo Fuerte y Formal. (He is ugly, strong and reliable :) Ed note I had to laugh at this. I don’t know if mothers still tell this to their daughters, but when I was growing up I remember been told that when I married I had to pick a man with this characteristics. This is the definition of a real man.) She describes him and says that he is a “fuereño” (foreigner) Juan thinks he knows the guy, and he tells her that he is his partner. Delfina says that this man is driving her crazy and she is going to marry him. Juan tells her that maybe she should slow down a bit. What if he doesn’t love her? Delfina tells him that she knows that at least he likes her. He even told her that she reminded him somebody else. Juan says that maybe so, but she should wait a little, she needs to be his girlfriend first. Delfina says that she is madly in love, have you not lost your senses for somebody? Juan remembers Paula and says he understands. Delfina says “No le busques ruido al chicharrón” (Do not make trouble where there is none. Lit. Don’t look for noise in the toasted pig skin, because you already know is crunchy.) Juan reminds her that she said the same thing of Mr. Akito. Delfina tells her that Mr. Akito belongs to the past. She starts to question Juan about Algarita. Juan decides not to mention Nidia.

At the cachon residence, Delirio enters Nidia’s room and takes his pillow while watching Nidia sleep. He looks like he is really worried about her.

Ana asks Paula how did it go with CL Paula tells her that they talked and decided they’ll see a therapist. Ana asks her if she loves her husband. Paula says that she is confused (So, what’s new) that up to this morning she was convinced she had to divorce CL, but after talking to him, well… he was so sincere (ha!) that she is not sure now. Ana says that the only foundation for a strong marriage is love, and she should be sure that she loves him otherwise no therapist or psychologist would be able to help.

Marely tells everybody not to tell Nidia about the baby. Nidia walks in and asks for Samuel. Every body is impactado.

CL is talking to Pastor. He wants to know what is happening with Yvonne, why is she not willing to continue the affair. Pastor tells him that Yvonne is in love with Fernando. CL can’t believe how unfair his life is, why is this happening to me? He cries. My woman is staring to go out with a scoundrel, my lover is interested in a low class and the woman I love is in love with a chauffer. (I hesitated a little when I was translating this part, because when a man introduces somebody as his woman usually is talking about his wife, however we know Monica is not CL’s wife anymore… Isn’t interesting how CL still considers Monica his woman? )

Nidia is still very confused it seems that she lost her memory from the time before Samuel died. The phone rings and Yadira answers is Juan, but he asked a girl to ask for him. Yadira is very upset. Kike answers and scolds Juan for getting him in trouble with Yadira. Juan apologizes. He says he called because he had had a bad feeling all day long and wants to make sure everything is ok. Kike tells him about Nidia and how she is acting weird.

At the office, Yvonne stops Fernando and tells him that she is sorry and wants him to know that she ended the affair. Fernando says that he doesn’t care and walks past her.

CL is still talking to Pastor. He wants Pastor to find him a therapist, but he wants somebody that would do whatever he (CL) tells him to do. He wants the therapist to tell Paula to go back to him. Pastor says he’ll do his best.

Fernando stops at Marely’s desk and invites her to lunch, she accepts. He thanks her and looks happy.

Yvonne walks into CL’s office. He tells her that he wants to talk to her. She says she is not in the mood. He stands up and walks to her, he embraces her and in his most seductive voice tells her that he is going to help her change her mood, right then Monica walks in and CL channeling Fernando Mendiola, tells Monica that Yvonne is helping him find something that he has in his eye. Monica thanks Yvonne and tells her she’ll help CL. Yvonne practically runs and leaves the office. Monica tells CL that she can’t see anything in his eye.

Yvonne goes to Pastor’s office. She tells him that Monica saved her. Pastor tells her to talk to him clearly, to put him in his place. Yvonne is afraid that CL will fire her. Pastor tells her that CL is driving him crazy and now he asked him to find a psychologist. Yvonne has an idea, what if he finds him a psychologist that would do the opposite of what CL wants. Pastor is not that sure, CL would get really mad. Yvonne says that he can always apologize for a mistake. Pastor thinks about it.


Juan finds Angarita in the local eatering place. Angarita says that the badger sopes (picture to the left) he is eating are delicious. Juan says that Delfina’s are better. Angarita wants to know if Delfina is the same Delfina he met yesterday. Juan says yes, it is, and maybe he should go one of these days to the house to eat breakfast. Angarita has Juan number and asks him point blank what Juan’s game is. Juan confesses that Delfina likes him, and was asking about him. Angarita tells Juan that “La Señora no tiene malos bigotes”(The lady is not ugly. He likes her. Lit. The lady doesn’t have a bad moustache), but is not sure, since she reminds her of Nidia. Juan tells him that Nidia and Delfina are counsins and first cousins at that. Juan remembers about his phone call to the Cachon residence and tells Angarita about what happened to Nidia. Impactado face froma Angarita.

Delirio brings something to eat to Nidia. Nidia thanks him and tells him that he should leave because if her husband arrives he is going to be mad. Delirio tells her that he is her husband and tries to hug her. Nidia starts yelling for help. Yadi walks in and kicks Delirio out. She yells at him, how can he be so impatient? Can’t he see that he is making her mother feel worse?

Later we see Kike leaving for work. Yadira is still upset, she doesn’t believe him that it was Juan who called, and wants to know who is that “friend” Kike just tells her to calm down and not to make things worse. He kisses his daughter goodbye and since Yadira is not talking to him, tells the baby to take care of her jealous mother.

In Achichipico, Juan, Morondon and Angarita are seating at a table in the Patio of Delfina’s house. They are having a business meeting and Morondon is acting as secretary, he is taking notes and Juan is presiding the meeting. Juan says that it is time to start acting, since the people of Achichipico is waiting for them to proceed with the business. Since the 3 partners of the company are togehter, they should decide what to do. Angarita (always to the point) tells Juan just to tell him what to do next and he’ll do it, but he has a question, what does he mean 3 partners? Why is Morondon included as a partner? Juan says that Morondon will be the secretary; Angarita says that he could do that as an employee. They are interrupted by Delfina. She tells Juan that 2 beautiful women are asking for him. Juan smiles and answers the door. Susana and So Jeugn are at the door. They tell him that they are looking for Mr. Akito San Yamamoto. Juan is muy impactado and tells them that yes, he knew Mr. Akito and explains to them how they met. When Sung-ju asks him where her dad is, he has to tell her that he is dead. He takes them to the cemetery and shows them the place where Akito is buried. He tells them that he died a happy man and his was the biggest and the most beautiful funeral that they ever had in the town. Sung-ju closes her eyes and prays (I think) a little. After a few minutes she says that she knows now that her father is in a better place and he is happy. Juan agrees.

At the Cachon residence Ana comes to visit Nidia, Yadira tells her that she is acting very strangely, and maybe Ana’s visit will make her feel better, Yadi takes her to Nidia’s room. As soon as Nidia sees Ana she starts yelling at her. How she dares come to her house? She is the worst whore ever! Get out! Get out. Impactad face from Yadira and Ana.
