Caray, Caray!

Let's get right to it: Padre Manuel sets Regina to crying when he says he thinks he knows where her grandchild is. She starts having some kind of attack and Milagros is summoned and told to call the doctor. Luciana comes in, wondering what's going on and hears that Padre Manuel knows where Regina's grandchild is.

Andrea fobs Alejandro off with some excuse about how Constancio just doesn’t want them mixing work and personal, so she made an agreement with Constancio that she and Alejandro won't fraternize during the work day. He's annoyed that they didn't ask his opinion about whether this was ok. Some hugs from Andrea and he says it's all ok. Once he leaves, Constancio says he's got Andrea in his hands and she's to wait for him that night at her apartment with a good dinner and very little clothing. Ewww, so basically "you can date my son, but only if you sleep with me."

The rather young, handsome doctor checks out Regina while Mili cries and Regina tries to get her to stop. Doctor says Regina needs to chill for the afternoon, which means no Padre Manuel! Plus he wants her to take a sedative before bed. Mili assures the doc that she'll keep Regina from going anywhere. Once he leaves, Regina bribes Mili into getting Padre Manuel back in the room by saying she'll leave the room to go watch Mili play soccer. Mili says Padre Manuel can come in for a little bit. I love these interactions between Mili and Regina--I bet Regina was a lot like Mili before she settled down to be some controlling rich guy's wife.

Luciana threatens Padre Manuel that if he tells Regina where her grandchild is, Luciana will leave--therefore, Padre Manuel would be breaking up a family. She leaves it up to him. Mili comes in to ask Padre Manuel to go see Regina. Luciana reminds him it's up to his conscience.

In the kitchen, Horacio tries to flirt with Socorro while she chops onions, but she's having none of it and sends him out to pick cilantro for her. She accidentally knocks half an onion on the floor, so when Horacio attempts to give her the bouquet of cilantro, he slips on the onion and gets a face full of boob and a couple of handfuls of booty. Socorro does not take this well.

Mili brings Padre Manuel into Regina's room and then goes out into the hallway. Regina asks him to tell her about her grandchild.

Luciana brings a redheaded woman into the living room. We find out that she's the psychiatrist, Eugenio's, wife. Luciana claims she hasn't been drinking and she wants them to talk like they used to. She starts right in with "how's your relationship with Eugenio?"

Padre Manuel covers by saying that Sor Cachete told him about Regina's story and he thought she might be talking about a woman he knew who had a medal of the Virgen de Guadalupe. Regina's face falls as she realizes Padre Manuel's got the wrong Virgen--the medal she gave Rosario was of Soledad, not Guadalupe. He apologizes for mixing up his Virgens.

Eugenio's wife says their relationship has gone cold and even if, as Luciana suggests, he is seeing someone else, she doesn't really care. Not that she thinks Eugenio's cheating on her, because he's so calm. Whatever. Luciana asks "Do you still love him?" Her friend thinks the love died a long time ago. Okay, so I guess now she's got permission to have an affair with him like he wants.

Horacio goes to ask Rorgan for advice about what to do now that Socorro's mad at him. He even gives Rorgan a demonstration of what she got mad at him about. Who's the bigger fool? The fool or the fool who follows him?

Luciana walks the friend, Melina, out. As she's leaving, Andrea comes in to talk to Luciana about Constancio.

Rorgan feeds Socorro a story about Horacio being really sick and having something wrong with his throat.

For no apparent reason, Mili's standing outside when Alejandro pulls up. They have another of their pointless arguments about who's the bigger jerk. Mili gives him hell for treating her like a thing and tells him she overheard him and Bobby talking about her. She asks what's wrong with being a servant, it's hard work and the pay sucks. He tries to say he works hard too, but she talks about how he's spoiled by never having to go without a meal. She says he should check out the people who have to take the metro at 6am--those people know what it means to work.

Andrea tells Luciana that she thinks Constancio is acting jealous of Alejandro, like he doesn't want Andrea taking him away. Oh, come on, she can't think she'll fool Luciana with that! She knows Constancio doesn't give a crap about Alejandro. She finally says "He threatened that if I marry Alejandro…no, never mind, I shouldn't be making trouble." Well, that's sure to intrigue Luciana.

We're back to Mili and Alejandro and for no reason I can explain, she's apologizing to him. Alejandro says he didn't want to hurt her and he wants to make it up to her, but Mili says he should just forget this servant. Ah, but he can't forget the woman. More kissing as Andrea looms in the background.

Socorro goes to find Horacio in the garden and he's faking like he's losing his voice.

Andrea busts up Mili and Alejandro and Mili gets kind of upset at Alejandro saying he can explain. She runs back into the house. Andrea says he doesn't have to explain--she knows all servants are like that, "ofrecidas" (from the root "to offer," as in "they're all easy") and want the Cinderella fantasy, so they sleep with their bosses. She gives him an allegedly hot kiss and asks which kiss he'd rather have.

Luciana comes to talk to Regina about what Andrea said. Luciana thinks it's about Andrea, not Alejandro . Regina doesn't think Constancio's capable of cheating and Luciana's not sure. Regina says she can't help save a marriage that never worked.

Mili's gotten over being mad at Alejandro and is now telling Lina that she's dying of curiosity to see what's behind the locked door (to Hugo's room). The girls realize someone must live in there. The wheels in Mili's head start turning.

Padre Manuel talks over his dilemma with the Madre Superior. He explains that Luciana will leave if he tells Regina about her grandchild. Madre Superior thinks that since Mili's done fine without a family all this time, she can keep going like that. I guess we know who wears the iron underwear in this relationship.

To get the keys off Braulio, Lina and Mili tell him there's a mouse in the kitchen and do lots of crawling around, pointing, screaming, and falling all over him so they can get into his inside jacket pocket for the keys.

Constancio comes over to Andrea's and finds his demands have been met. Her lingerie is ok, but those platform flip-flops with the rhinestones do nothing for me.

Eugenio and Luciana go out to dinner together. Luciana tells him she doesn't want therapy anymore, she wants them to be friends. He's thrilled with that.

Mili unlocks the door to Hugo's room and finds Hugo. He mocks her stuttered "Hola" and invites her in. He tells her that in the Bluebeard story, a woman who couldn't control her curiosity unlocked a door and found death. He tells her not to worry, he doesn't have a blue beard. He tells her to look around--maybe she'll find something to interest her. Mili finds the pictures Homeless!Hugo took and asks him who he is. Commercials. He tells her his name is Hugo…and that the homeless guy sold him the pictures. Heh. Now she wants to know why the painting doesn't have a face. He says he's waiting for the right model. Mili replies that she remembers her mother the same way--without a face. Although, given the painting she's talking about, it has some really weird connotations. Lina comes in, panicky, because Braulio found out they have the keys, and asks who "he" is. Hugo again replies that he's Hugo. Braulio comes in and kicks the two girls out of the room. Hugo seems to find the whole thing amusing.

Eugenio assures Luciana that the relationship's going to work out. She has to emphasize that what she wants is to be friends. She doesn't say "the kind who don't have sex with each other," but it's implied.

Braulio is all atwitter about Mili being "desfachetada" (cheeky) and taking severe disciplinary measures. Hugo asks if she's not beautiful. Hugo shows Braulio the pictures and grins like a lovestruck fool. It's nice that he seems to have found a reason to live (besides getting revenge on his dad) but at some point he's going to realize she's into Alejandro, and what then?

Mili complains to Lina that all men are the same. She's pissed at homeless guy for selling off her pictures. Some of Mili's rubbing off on Lina as Lina says he should have given her a cut of the merchandising…half, or maybe 70%. Mili's not pleased with this line of reasoning and storms out of the room.

Padre Manuel has a little chat with Jesús. He wants strength to keep his mouth shut or enlightenment as to a way to tell without hurting anybody. As he lights a candle, he remembers Sor Cachete saying Mili's falling in love.

Mili asks Regina about Hugo and finds out that Hugo is Damian's son; it was Hugo's decision to lock himself in his room; and Damian drove drunk one night and caused a bad accident that killed Hugo's mom and his girlfriend (or fiancée).

Padre Manuel asks Gloria about Mili having a boyfriend. Gloria tells Padre Manuel about some rich guy kissing Mili and Mili's knee kissing his…well, you know…and that the guy lives in the house where Mili works. Padre Manuel starts suspecting something baaaaaad.

Rorgan tells Socorro that Horacio's got something bad. Horacio comes in and pretends he's lost his voice. Rorgan pulls Socorro aside and says that Horacio can be cured by "apapachos" (I don't have an exact translation for this, but something like affectionate behavior).

Padre Manuel now goes to Sor Cachete to ask about Mili's love interest. Sor Cachete assures him she's not just imagining things because of the trashy romance novels she reads. She fills Padre Manuel in that Mili's galan is the son of Constancio. Padre Manuel explains the significance of Constancio's initials being on the medal. She thought it was just a nice gift, but Padre Manuel says it's because Constancio's Mili's father. Sor Cachete comes to the awful realization: "So Mili's in love with her brother?!" Sor Cachete has to take a bite out of her torta to fully process that information.

Rorgan approaches Valeria while she's sunning by the pool. He advises her to turn over so she doesn't burn…you know, like the chickens do. Valeria scoffs at him and goes inside. Rorgan takes this as a sign of improvement.

Constancio comes in and is informed by Braulio that his mother wants a word with him before dinner. He almost bumps into Mili, who snipes at him for almost running her over again. Constancio just snipes back and apparently doesn't take too much offense at being spoken to that way by a mere servant (/sarcasm). Andrea comes in to threaten Mili that she'd better leave Alejandro alone or she'll be sorry. Mili says Andrea can have him, but that's not enough for Andrea…she wants Mili completely cowed. She says she'll get rid of Mili herself if Mili goes near Alejandro again. Mili leaves as Luciana comes down the stairs, positively giddy at having Andrea over for lunch. I'd check to see if she's been drinking, she's so happy--we've all seen how miserable she is when she's sober.

Regina has summoned Constancio to tell him that if he doesn't back off and stay out of Alejandro and Andrea's relationship, she'll leave everything to Alejandro in her will. Regina's not worried that Alejandro will actually marry Andrea. She also chides him about going after his son's girlfriend--"He's not my son!" "You stay out of it or I'll leave it all to him, even if he's not my grandson."

Andrea visits Alejandro in his room before dinner. She brags about getting rid of Mili and says Mili has now learned not to mess with Andrea or anything of Andrea's. Alejandro doesn't look to thrilled to be considered Andrea's property.

Socorro spoon-feeds Horacio some kind of dessert. He makes a hand motion that looks something like "Tune in Tokyo" but she takes it as a request for a shoulder massage.

At the dinner table, Constancio asks Andrea to pass the salt in a really obviously meaning-laden way. Alejandro, in the time-honored tradition of brothers everywhere, decides to put the heat on someone else by saying "Hey, Dad, did Valeria tell you she's going to model in her underwear?" Jerkface. Valeria explains it's a modeling gig, she already signed the contract, and she can't break it. Luciana chimes in that it's on a catwalk, not just walking around outside in underwear. Damian sagely comments that it's a good thing Constancio's not Cindy Crawford's dad or the world would be at a loss.

Padre Manuel fills Madre Superior in on recent developments…Mili's in love with her brother! Madre Superior says they've got to separate the two of them. Yeah, like that's going to work. And what's up with these religious people plotting and lying instead of telling the truth?

Mili sits outside, moping, and Homeless!Hugo pays her a visit. She starts to scream at him that she's been looking for him. His reply is to say "You're in luck, you found me" and then grab her and kiss her. Mili is impactada--is it because of the kiss itself or the realization that he doesn't smell as bad as he looks?

Tune in tomorrow for more drama.
