Caray, Caray!

My DVR was slightly misbehaving so I'm not sure how much I missed in the beginning. We revisit a couple scenes from Monday's episode first then here is the first thing I see:

Diego and MS are discussing Julio and Arni's visit to the nunnery. MS is explaining her decision on turning them away, using the argument that children need both a mother and a father figure. This gets Diego thinking about the child that Silvana is carrying.

Julio and Arni arrive at Emilia and GSD's to cook for them. Emilia is thrilled, GSD too in his own way. They bring a baby outfit with them that they present to Emilia.

Lidia and Mario are at lunch at a restaurant when Tavo comes in. Lidia asks why he is there and Tavo jealously says he came to see who his substitute is. (When did he turn into Silvana's twin?)Lidia is shocked. He insults Lidia until Mario jumps up to defend her honor and Lidia slaps Tavo across the face. Tavo angrily tells Mario that he can have her but watch his checkbook. Lidia looks devastated. (Who would have thought at the beginning that we would be feeling sorry for Lidia by the end of the telenovela?)

Diego and LuisFe are chatting with the MS about Little Bean and getting him out of juvie and how he's a good kid. The topic turns to how much Azulcena helped him. Diego puts his foot in his mouth when he asks "Wasn't she sick in the head?" (which is what Silvana had told him). LuisFe is a bit offended and sets him straight that she had amnesia. Diego apologizes.

Gloria arrives at Azulcena's and asks her if she knows who she is. Azulcena replies "Should I know you?" and Gloria shakes her head and introduces herself as Silvana's mother. They hug and Gloria cries a little behind Azulcena's back. Azulcena is happy to have company.

Lidia and Mario are back in the restaurant. Lidia dumps all her problems with Tavo onto Mario, who tries to comfort and encourage her. This of course involves taking her hands into his over the table. And, of course, who should walk in at that moment but Ceci (and her date?).

Meanwhile Tavo is at Ephrain's moping. Ephrain politely says I told you so. I couldn't tell if Ephrain was saying Tavo should have just married her instead of playing games or is glad that it looks like Tavo won't be marrying her after all. Whichever, Ephrain tells Tavo it's his own fault!

Back at the nunnery, MS, Diego and LuisFe are discussing the importance of family. MS is called away, leaving the two men standing there uncomfortably.

Silvana goes to see the reporter Bruno. She tells him she's gone to see an attorney after Bruno threatened her with the photos of Little Bean's abduction. She brings some papers for him to sign and he does. She looks them over and then she tells him another lie for him to publish. She is pregnant with Diego's child. She even produces the lab results to prove it to him. She sees a public announcement as a way to manipulate Diego into a relationship with her.

Azulcena is serving Gloria lunch. They talk about Azulcena's pregnancy. Gloria wants to know if Azulcena was happy with her boyfriend and her new life. Azulcena says yes, but she had to distance herself from him to see if someone else who loved her might be looking for her.

Diego and LuisFe are chatting in the garden. They talk of how to help the orphans. LuisFe says he can't take any children in because he is not married and he lives with his mother two hours away. Diego says he is not married either. He tells LuisFe that Silvana is pregnant but he doesn't think he can marry her. LuisFe tells Diego that a child needs a stable home (Obviously he doesn't know Silvana). LuisFe mentions that he loves Azulcena and that she is pregnant too. Diego realizes that he insulted the woman LuisFe loved. LuisFe tells Diego that they are in love but Azulcena left and he doesn't know where she went. He mentions that it was Silvana who gave him Azulcena's Dear John letter. Diego has no clue. As they compare notes, LuisFe realizes that Silvana has to know where Azulcena is.

It seems that Ceci has spent her time looking over her shoulder at Mario while her date has been neglected. Another man has joined Lidia and Mario for some business talk. He takes his leave. Ceci's date - I'm not sure where he came from - is very astute and asks Ceci if she'd like to go say hi to her friends. She says oh no, she didn't want to interrupt. He says he can tell she is dying to be at that table and asks if she has an eye on that muchacho. Ceci denies it and swings her hair, just happening to swing it all the way around so that she can again see Mario and Lidia's table. Her date sighs and looks exasperated. Ceci watches Mario and Lidia clasp hands in very friendly thanks for a great business deal.

Julio, Arni, GSD and Emilia are finishing their home cooked gourmet dinner. GSD produces a dessert. Emilia is grateful to all of them for doing so many things to cheer her up.

Lidia and Mario go to leave the restaurant. Lidia stands up to leave and sees Ceci at the table and wants to stop at their table and say hi so as not to be rude. Mario doesn't want to and looks rather guilty to be there. Lidia leads the way with Mario dragging behind. Ceci is trying to hide but to no avail. Lidia greets Ceci happily and Ceci pastes on a smile and returns a cheery greeting. Ceci introduices her date, Jan, a photographer who emphasizes that he does bikini photos. Ceci, only half playfully, tells Mario to be careful, Lidia is a promised woman. Lidia says she was, but Tavo had a jealous breakdown and they are over. Ceci looks uncomfortable.

Diego is chatting with Katy. Katy feels sorry for the orphans. She says they had a good teacher Azulcena, but she left. Katy wants a real family with a mom and a dad and a little sister.

LuisFe confronts Silvana about Azulcena's whereabouts. She still denies knowing but this time LuisFe knows better and calls her a liar. He mentions that he was talking to Diego and Silvana is impactada and scared that he came with LuisFe. Silvana starts spinning lies but LuisFe doesn't believe her. She is shocked that he could not believe her, a pregnant woman! He falls for it.

Gloria is showing Azulcena a picture of her husband Chucho. Gloria mentions that he is a tailor for Diego Moran. She drops his name like she hopes Azulcena recognizes it and looks crestfallen when she doesn't. Azulcena changes the subject to children. Azulcena wonders if she has a mother that loves her and Gloria says no, you don't. (I know Silvana is crazy but did she really think her mother could keep this secret? Is she THAT crazy?) Now Gloria starts spinning to cover that slip. Azulcena tells Gloria that she must be a good mother because of how Silvana turned out. Gloria looks a little sick but likes the idea of acting as a mother figure for Azulcena.

Clemi shows up at Diego's to see if he's decided anything about Silvana. They agree that they both want the best for the baby. Diego dreads the thought of marrying Silvana.

Lidia and Mario are now seated with Ceci and Jan. Lidia is the only one who looks happy about that. She announces that Anibal has arrived for her and leaves the table. Jan then leaves too, leaving Ceci and Mario alone together. Ceci shows a bit of jealousy and Mario eggs her on. She denies that she is jealous and leaves him there. That makes him happy.

GSD and Emilia are admiring the baby clothes that Arni and Julio brought. A doorbell rings and who shows up but Silvana. She sits down with them and goes to tell them the good news. GSD cuts her off and then tells her off. He calls her "fresh as lettuce" to come to them so happy about this when it is not a matter of happiness to them. Silvana tells them that she and Diego are breaking up. She puts on a sad face and hopes they can forgive her and forget everything that has happened. This sets GSD off again. Emilia and Arni calm him but then Silvana opens her mouth again and says more stupid things.

Lidia is home being comforted by her mami while Diego and Anibal are there to support her and say comforting things too. Lidia says she is going to go look for him and she is going to get the money for him to save his shop. Everyone offers to give her the money but she wants to do it all herself.

Mario shows up at Ceci's door, looking contrite. Ceci answers the door, looking angry. But Mario fixes that by grabbing her and planting a big kiss on her. She doesn't seem to resist much. She still won't admit that she was jealous but then relents and admits that she was. Mario reassures her that he was just being nice to Lidia and the only one who interests him is Ceci. They smooch again.

Diego and Katy are having breakfast when Diego gets the morning paper. There is the longest headline ever seen in a newspaper announcing that Silvana is expecting Diego's child. Diego is furious and just then the phone rings. It's Silvana calling to cry that she is so ashamed about the paper, no one will ever hire her again, her career is over. She starts to fake terrible pain and Diego gets worried.

Gloria is bringing breakfast in bed to Azulcena. Azulcena says she's a bit nauseous and Gloria snatches the tray of food away. Gloria has the perfect solution and suggests going for a walk. Azulcena says that Silvana told her not to go out. Gloria talks her into it.

Diego arrives at Silvana's hotel room while Silvana continues to fake an illness. (Okay nothing really indicates that she is faking but who here believes it could be real?) She lays down on her bed, saying she has no strength but her gynocologist says that's normal. Diego gets mad at her, thinking she should be taking better care of herself for the sake of their baby. Diego tells her he thinks she's blackmailing him. Silvana gets angry then turns on the crocodile tears, crying that nobody likes her. Diego thinks she should stay with her mother, who has to love her. Silvana cries and lies, saying her mami left her again. Diego didn't know, looks sorry for her. All this crying has turned the idiot Diego into a bigger idiot and he says she can come back to the house so the baby can be born there. Silvana proudly and defiantly refuses, saying she will only return to his house as his wife... Diego rolls his eyes and looks sick.

Until the next episode...
