Caray, Caray!

Alejandro is convinced by the lies that Constancio told him regarding the lack thereof a personal relationship between him and Andrea. Al asks Andrea for forgiveness. They kiss and make up. Connie leaves them alone and this gives Al the chance to tell Andrea that the whole business with “Carlitos” was a way to make her jealous. Andrea assures him that she knew that all along.

Outside his office, Connie is accosted by his daughter. She’s come there to let him have it because she’s learned that Andrea is his mistress. Before Connie can get a word in, Al and Andrea show up. They explain the whole “misunderstanding” and Val asks Andrea and Connie for forgiveness. She tells Al that she won’t apologize to him because he’s just a gossip.

Meanwhile, back at home…..Luciana is begging her brother to not spill the beans about her relationship with Eugenio. She tells Damien that he knows that she’s not been happy and that her relationship with Connie hasn’t been good for a long time. Damien is concerned that if Luci takes off, what will become of him and his part in the business. Luci assures him that if she goes, she’ll make sure to put things in order. She tells him that her shares of the company will be given to Alejandro. Damien isn’t happy with this plan.

Regina and Mili have lunch at the convent. Padre Manuel and the nuns gush over Mili and go on and on about her charms to Regina. Mili punctuates this conversation with a burp. After lunch, Mili and Rocky take to the soccer field. Regina sits in the stands and watches. After witnessing some of Mili’s antics, Regina tells herself she’s got her work cut out for her. Mili scores a goal.

Mili and Regina return home. Regina says she’s tired and Mili tells her that going out did her some good, she looks younger (and I have to agree).

Al brings Andrea home for dinner. He fills Luci and Damien in on the reconciliation.

In the maid’s room, Lina tells Mili that the family is gathering to have dinner with Al’s novia---which is Mili. Lina offers to help Mili get ready for the party. We are not treated to a view of Mili during the process, so we know it is going to be scary.

Regina comes down for dinner. The family is surprised that she’s left her rooms. Connie says it is a miracle and Regina says that’s the word for it.

Mili shows up, with big hair, gaudy make-up, eighties-style earrings, and a tight dress. She bursts into the room with her mouth running. She calls Luci-suegrita and Luci flips. Mili suggests that calling her mama might be a better idea. This freaks Luci out more. Al attempts to explain to Mili what’s going on, but she’s too busy exchanging words with Andrea. Once Mili closes her mouth, Al tells her it was a joke. Mili is confused. Al spells it out for her---Andrea is his novia. Val starts in on Mili and Regina cuts her off. Al is surprised that Mili took it all seriously. To save face, Mili tells them that she knew all along it was a joke and that’s why she dressed so ridiculously and she leaves. Regina tells the family she won’t be dining with them after all, because she’s lost her appetite.

Mili runs into the maid’s room. Lina and Karla are there and Lina tries to find out what happened. Mili’s not talking. She runs into the bathroom and locks the door. Once inside, she breaks down and cries.

Dinner is over and Constancio says that Regina didn’t stay for dinner because of the joke played on Mili. The family launches into a round of making fun of Mili, while Karla is milling around in the background.

Mili visits Hugo and they decide to develop a secret knock so he’ll know when it is her at the door. Mili alludes to something happening at dinner and Hugo presses her for more info. She doesn’t tell him. Mili asks when Hugo will finish his painting and he says never.

Regina has a flashback to a conversation she had with Rosario. Rosario was telling her about how Connie’s friends treat her because she was the maid. Regina offered some encouragement and she asked how Connie reacts when his friends treat Rosario poorly. Rosario said he remains silent and that hurt.

Al comes to visit his grandma. She tells him that she expected more from him. He tires to explain and Regina continues to scold him. She’s upset that he would play with people’s emotions. She tells him to go.

Connie finds tickets to Rome in Luci’s purse. He pumps Damien for info on the name of Luci’s lover. Damien isn’t talking, so Connie offers money. Damien finally blurts out Eugenio’s name when the offer reaches fifty thousand.

In the kitchen Karla is filling her mom in on what happened with Mili and the family. Mili and Lina are there too. Karla tells Mili that Al would never be interested in a girl like her. How could Mili think a servant could be with the patron’s son. Lina makes a comment about Karla and Damien. Karla says the difference is that she and Damien feel something for each other. Lina says sure, a couple times a week and only at night.

Al walks into the kitchen and asks to speak with Mili. They go for a walk outside and Al tells her he feels bad. He adds that Mili didn’t deserve to be treated that way. She says he’s wrong, of course she did because she’s an idiot who had confidence in him. She adds that she believed in him and she asks why he did what he did. She doesn’t allow him to explain. Instead she tells him that he’s left her with her heart in her hands, broken. She runs back into the house and Al lets out a frustrated scream.

Val, in her underwear, practices for her catwalk. Connie catches her and tells her that over his dead body will she be parading around in lingerie in front of everyone.

Mili prays that God will help her get Al out of her head. Later, she meets with Gloria at the convent. They talk about Christmas and one of the nuns tells her that they don’t have enough money to purchase gifts for the orphans. Mili says she’ll take care of getting the money.

Hugo asks Braulio about Mili. He tells Hugo that she’s out and then he tells him to be careful with her, she’s a servant. Hugo tells Brau that’s the stupidest advice he’s ever gotten in his life. Brau leaves and Hugo talks to the picture----he tells it that Brau thinks you’re an opportunist.

Luci is tending her flowers. Brau admires them and she says that if she sticks around she’ll enter them into a contest. Brau asks where she might be going. She dances around the subject.

Padre Manuel talks to Mili about her relationship with Al. She rants on about him and PM is convinced that there is no risk of romance.

Constancio meets with Milena, Eugenio’s wife. He tells her what’s going on between his wife and her husband. Milena doesn’t believe it. Connie tells her that they’ll bring a stop to it. He’ll take care of his wife, she needs to take care of her husband.

Connie’s plan is to seduce Luci. He makes arrangements for them to dine alone and tells her how much he misses them having alone time. She is shocked. He asks her out for dinner and she accepts. He gives her a kiss goodbye and he thinks to himself that she’s falling for it.

Mili decides to sell flowers to raise money and she convinces Lina to help. Lina wonders where they are going to get the flowers. Mili indicates that the Belmonte’s flowers are good enough.

Melina snoops in Eugenio’s office and finds his ticket to Rome. She takes a different approach than Connie. When she sees Eugenio, she confronts him with the tickets.

On the side of the road, Mili and Lina sell flowers. Al shows up, he buys all their remaining flowers and seems to pay a hefty price.

Luci discovers her flowers have been taken. She screams for the police to be called.

Meanwhile, Lina and Mili return home and in the maids’ room they find all the flowers Al purchased laying on Mili’s bed, with a note. The note says that if these flowers don’t succeed in making her accept his apology, then Al will have to get all of Xochimilco to do the job. END OF EPISODE.
