Caray, Caray!

Back to the scene where Hugo is showing the painting to Mili. It is signed Pandrosa. I don't really understand this whole thing--does she think Pandrosa is someone else, and he's the artist's agent? Does she think Pandrosa is the guy in the wig and beard?

Andrea is now confessing all to Regina. She calls her "madrina" (godmother). Is she really her godmother, or is it a name of respect? Probably the latter. Anyway, Andrea's "respect" is really phony. She tells Regina that Connie was at her apartment because of the argument he had with Luciana. Does anyone really believe Connie slept on the couch? They didn't show anything, so I don't know what we are supposed to think.

She now tells Regina that she has a problem with her apartment and she will be evicted. No problem--Regina tells her she can come live at the mansion. I don't think this is going to be the Brady Bunch.

Mili is talking to Hugo about her mother died. The other tinkling piano music from Amar is heard. Instead of piano music of doom, it's piano music of melancholy (or PMM).

Connie taunts Damian about some money he gave him--he gave him 2.5 million pesos (to pay the blackmail?), but half a million is gone, and he wants to know where it is. I guess Damian lost it in gambling. Connie says he can pay off the debt by tailing his sister night and day to see where she goes. Damian does not want to do this. Connie says that she is putting the horns on him, and he's had enough. But Damian feels like a traitor to spy her on her. Connie says "Traitor? Hah!" In other words, Damian is such a loser he has no choice but to do Connie's dirty work.

Andrea begs Alex to let her explain what was going on with Connie. Mili is overhearing in the hall. He says he's through with Andrea and he loves another. Who is the girl, she asks. It's Mili, and he pulls her over. Mili is my novia!

Andrea goes off to report the news.

Back in the Belmonte bunker of bunk beds (otherwise known as the servants' quarters), Mili tells her friend about the kiss--it was like the kind of kiss the hero gives in the last chapter of a telenovela.

Constancio berates Luciana some more about her worthless son. He is outraged: I've given him my name, and now a Belmonte is with a servant. Takes one to know one, she says. All these years, we've lived with the ghost of the criada (servant) that you were with. How many times have you called out her name while making love to me? All I can call out is Eww.

The servants toast Mili.

Valeria quizzes Alex on his new choice of girlfriend. He says don't worry--it's just a tale to tell Andrea. He wants to get back at her for being with Papa. Oops. Valeria didn't know?

Braulio and Regina discuss his late sister.

Regina and Mili discuss the relationship with Alex. Mili says she loves him.

Valeria asks Andrea what's going on.

Luciana asks Consty how he could get back at her with Andrea.

Con talks with Regina. She refuses to let him let Alex resign. Connie points out that he's not really her grandson. Too bad, says Regina--she's doing it because Connie lost her the real grandchild.
Connie says that tomorrow he's going to cancel Alex's credit cards, and he'll be a muerta de hambre (low life). Granny says, no, everything goes to Alex.

Finally, the most important scene:
Luciana is meeting with her psychiatrist (whose name I also don't know, sorry). He has plane tickets for Rome. They will make a new life. He is not a psychiatrist--he is a man in love. She says she is afraid. She wonders wouldn't it be better to tell Connie first that she is leaving? (Anyone think that's a good idea?)
No, says shrinky-dink. We must go away and make up for all we have missed for so many years . . .
Is he the missing lover from the past--or is this just a cheat where figuratively they have missed out on love for many years.
