Caray, Caray!

I'm trying to get this done earlier than usual, as I have some weekend guests coming. Today for the first time I have managed to watch the episode and take notes in much less time than usual. Maybe there was less dialogue.
No Regina in this episode, BTW. Not even much Mili.

We last left Alex in a freeze frame when Bobby managed to put some doubt in his mind as to whether Andrea was really pregnant.
Now The Odd Couple go over to the bachelor pad, where they plan to have the Pigeon Sisters over for a night of hot monkey love.

Mili shyly approaches Connie. She tells him that she didn't mean to eavesdrop, but she couldn't help hearing and seeing him with Valeria. She wishes she could have such a relationship. Her dad left her, etc. This was heartbreaking. After she leaves, Connie says "wow," in that regretful way he has.

Turns out that Al is not ready for any new talent. He stares at his Pigeon sister, but he won't dance with her. She calls him a dud.

Connie and Luci have a discussion that ends with Connie reminding her that her dear son might inherit his father's craziness and end up in the manicomio. Think of his future: he might be Hercules . . . or Napoleon!

Mili comes into Val's room, where Val is lying on the bed sadly. She wants to be like a sister and says she's all ears if Val wants to confide in her, but Val isn't having any of it yet.

Val's now out by the pool sleeping on a lounge chair. Connie spills some of his drink on her to wake her up, and they laugh. She wants him to get wet in the pool, and he takes off his shoes and coat as if he is going to jump in with his clothes on. One, two, three--ha ha--he throws Val in, but he balks. Damien watches. Val calls her Dad "tramposo," or sneaky.

Al has given up any pretense of making time with the new girl. He asks Bobby how he could find out if Andrea was really pregnant.

Damien tells someone they'll get the money even though banks are closed. (Guapos team, help me out here. It seems like Damien is somehow behind the kidnapping we know is coming (from the avances)--agreed?)
Then he comes out to chat with Val and Connie, who are still by the pool. He says they are a cute family. Connie wants to throw Damien in the pool, and Damien doesn't want to get his suit wet. Connie says that he doesn't have to worry because he buy cheap suits.

Damien has now been beamed directly to the office. Andrea tells him that everything is under control (with the Alex situation, I think).

Alex comes in and wants to take Andrea for coffee. She tries to avoid it by claiming work responsibilities, but Connie lets her go.

Hilarity segment: Morgan is in training for his taco stand. He sets up a barbecue grill right by the pool where he smokes everyone out.

Alex and Andrea have an uncomfortable chat at the coffee shop. He wants to know which hospital she was at so he could speak to her doctor. She says that since they are not husband and wife yet, the doctor won't talk to him. (must be the Mexican version of HIPAA)

Morky has finished his training for the day and takes Val to the office. He lets her off in the basement garage. While he's waiting, he is distracted by a girl who needs help starting her car. Soon we see two kidnappers carry Val out to a van. She tries to grip the outsides of the rear opening as they push her in. (It reminded my of what my old cats used to do when I put them in the cat carrier. RIP Bubbles and Fred.)

As soon as the kidnappers drive away, the distraction girl suddenly "finds" her keys, so Morgan no longer has to hotwire her car.

Alex asks Hugo about Andrea's doctors. Hugo fudges. He can't even remember what hospital they went to. Hugo gets on the horn and warns Andrea. Shouldn't they have gotten their story straight first, by at least having the name of a hospital?

Socorro talks to the new naco. Horacio plays strict papa--he doesn't want Lina going with Naco.

Closeup of the nude picture of Mili. Hugo and Andrea plot how to keep Alex from finding out the truth. They must keep him from going out tonight. (What about other nights? Are they going to enlist every doctor in the DF into supporting their scheme?) Hugo doesn't want to lose Mili.

Morky now wonders where Val is. He calls her cell phone, and a man answers.

Andrea kisses Connie. Damien catches them. What a great opportunity. Damien wants Connie to cash a check for him. Connie refuses and tells Damien to go to the ATM. Then the ransom call comes in. Uh-oh, the banks are closed.

Alex remembers the things Mili and Andrea said to him.

Damien counsels Connie to remain calm. Don't call the police. Damien knows how to get the money. (he has the money in the safe) He'll help Connie if Connie will just sign some papers that Damien happens to have--turning over the company to Damien! Connie balks.

Morky has now come home and tells Horacio that he's worried about Val.

Luci overhears--where is Val?

Another ransom call comes, and Connie realizes he has to give in to Damien's demands. He signs the papers reluctantly. I imagine he'll get out of this sooner or later, especially when he finds out that Damien was behind the kidnapping.

Alex takes Hugo to visit the ER where Andrea lost the fake baby. I guess Hugo decided to make one up. They've never heard of Andrea. Hugo swears this is the right one. Alex asks him to look him in the eye and say that. Hugo says of course he is telling the truth . . . yada yada yada. Alex says that Andrea has a lot of 'splaining to do.

At the end, Luci walks in when they are discussing the kidnapping. They have a huge argument over who's a real Belmonte. Luci, you have some 'splaining to do too . . . Connie offers her a drink. He tells her to get drunk, 'cause she usually makes more sense that way. Damien takes a drink.
Meanwhile, Karla is stealing the money from the safe! (Damien, you shouldn't have treated her so badly . . .).

Now they move out to the entry hall so they can stage the farcical entrances and exits needed. Damien leads limping Luci out (Luci is now wearing a long skirt to hide her cast, but she has no crutches). Karla tries to sneak out with the money, but sees them all, so she hides momentarily. Connie sits with his head in his hands. Karla now sneaks out.

Andrea marches in with a problem. Connie doesn't want to hear her whining, but she forges ahead: Boo hoo--Alex is suspicious and thinks she had an abortion. Just as she mentions "her baby," Alex and Hugo walk in. Yeah, Alex says--the baby that never existed!

My DVR cuts out here.
