Caray, Caray!

Juan tells Lau he got her wine, she says it’s a great vintage. Juan remarks she’s just the beauty he needs to get Pau out of his system.

At lunch Pau tells Marely that she overheard Juan talking to a woman, but she doesn’t know who the Fulana was. She’s clearly turning Green.

On the hill Juan runs into Flor she wonders what he’s doing there and if this is his Dad. He says no, my teach, and he didn’t have time before, so he wanted to thank her for her help. He says she lives nearby with her Mom and Teach asks if she goes to school, she asks what for?

Heri is complaining to Gaytan about Juan keeping him at a distance. Gaytan gives him a grammar lesson much like “fewer” eggs in a basket versus less eggs in a basket. Anyway, Heri says he thinks he’ll show Juan. Gaytan thinks that’s a bad decision, he should hang tight because of the changes the owners are going through, and that good things could come for him.

Ana and Willy are chatting at lunch. He tells a little about himself, he was widowed young, and never had kids and buried himself in his work. She wonders if he ever wanted kids and he says maybe but he’s enjoyed his life especially times like this. She gets nervous. He wants to hear about her and she tells that there’s not much to tell, and her life is boring. He says after Sam there must have been someone, she says no.

Back on the hill Teach continues to sing the virtues of education and how Flor will get a good job and help her Mom. Flor is not swayed she helps her Mom already by cleaning the house, cooking, earning coins taking out trash, and selling gum on the street, etc. She tells him to stop his lecture and leave her be. He offers her some money and she is too proud to take his handout and runs off. Juanito is a bit shocked too.

Perafan is explaining to Gutis that the tunnel caper isn’t moving along, and escape this way isn’t going to work, that by the time he’s done digging, Gutis will have served out his time, and anyway his personal life needs his attention right now. Gutis tells Perafan not to leave him alone. Perafan either helps him or else he goes down with him, and he’ll tell the judge what they both did to change the Cachon will. Perafan says he’s not really in a position to play the last of his chips.

Ana continues she worked so young, she had no time for boyfriends. She was shy, and she fell in love with Sam and didn’t think about what she was doing; him having his own family and all, and then Pau came along, and he was the victim of his women, not wanting to leave his house with his kids, etc. Blah blah blah. He asks about her future, specifically love. She spills coffee due to nerves.

Pau and Marely are still chatting. The conversation turns to Juan buying the house and Pau refuses to back down, that she’s not going to sell it to him because Nid and Per have to pay for what they did.Mar has no choice but to be understanding.
Nid moans dramatically to Kike about leaving the house and the good times. Kike says it’s not the end of the world. He’s optimistic he’ll find a place. Nid thanks him profusely for all his help.

Frick and Frack are still discussing a break out plan. Gutis reminds him he’ll rat out Per if he doesn’t help.

Ivonne chides Fernando for his potential ascension in the company and he tells her to shush because it’s not a done deal, and both Juan and Pau have to give their vote. She’s not sure he actually should think he has a chance. He says either way, he’s privileged to even have been considered, and oh, she’ll always be a secretary.

Back at lunch, Mar puts in good words for Fer and asks why Pau doesn’t like him. She says she needs someone with more experience etc. Mar says he speaks English. Pau says she’s not against Fer, but she needs to do what’s best for this business. Mar drops her push, and Pau wants to hurry back. Mar thinks it’s because she wants to check up on whether Juan has returned.

At the apartment, Juan is enjoying his wine, remarking how hungry he is and she tells him but now the best part, she prepared the best Lobster in Mexico for him. He proclaims Chinches Bravas, and wonders how he is supposed to manage eating such an ugly creature. He doesn’t know what to do with this bicho (oddity) use his hands or implements or what? They sit down to eat and he starts to tell her the truth, but then decides a lie will work and that he’s allergic to these things. She of course feels bad she never asked, she could have murdered him by anaphylactic reaction. He doesn’t know what that is. She offers that they go out, but he says there is plenty for him, lettuce, spinach, olives, (nowhere near anything filling for a man of his stature I’m sure.)

Juanito begs the Teach for the favor of helping Flor to get in school. Teach agrees.

Laura is making her moves, and is shocked at Juan’s timidness. He keeps sliding away from her and she slides closer. They chat about work as she keeps jumping down his throat. Any closer and she’d be coming out the other side. She mentions oh by the way I studied finance and have experience and would be a perfect Vice President for Farell. Juan is not sure about that, he wonders about her art. She lays it on thick. I seriously see her head poking out from his back. Anyway, she begins to tell him she can give him classes and begins to massage him. He wonders what this chick has in mind, if he’ll end up posing for her like he did for Ana.

Back at the office Pau is wondering what is taking Juan so long. She doesn’t wait around, she goes to get the scoop from Fer.

The Pomposos are disagreeing again, she wanting him to stay, him saying he has to go.

Pau is chatting with Fer, telling him not to take this personally, he's a good employee and a great friend who takes the opportunity to request that she consider his resume. Just then Ivonne interrupts and tells Fer she has to go. Pau yells at her for interrupting. Ivonne snaps back she was talking to Fer, who asks her please to stop, and Pau reminds her that she’s the boss so Ivonne better listen, Ivonne only takes orders from Juan.

Speaking of Juan, he has his hands in deep now. Deep in clay, turns out Laura’s giving class on pottery making. She tells him he's not fighting with the clay, instead making love to it. She continues to tell him to relax and pretend he’s caressing a mujer, if he treats the clay well it will do everything he asks of it. She kisses him all over and he’s enjoying this but nervously so. There are many carays. He wonders if they are going to keep working with the clay or if there is another plan. He has to go to the bathroom.

Ivonne tells Pau she’s posing. Pau’s finally had enough and fires Ivonne. She says, you aren’t firing me, I quit. Mar and Pastor speculate about what is happening, Mar has her number though, surely Ivonne became insolent like she's used to and finally Pau put her in her place. Pastor thinks she's confusing personal issues with labor issues and she should erase that opinion (tache). She says the only reason she gave an opinion is because he asked her in the first place and she's not saying anything untrue because it's about time Ivonne got what's been coming to her, so if he has a problem he should take it up directly with Pau. He thinks she's defending Pau and advises her not to be so Lambiscona (biased) and she says well she is my sister and my friend etc. Said sister and friend (Pau) comes out pouting and insinuates to Pastor that he should get back to work. He slinks away like the good spineless HR person he is.

In the bathroom Ivonne is trying not to cry while here because she doesn't want to give them the pleasure. Julia comes in and asks what's going on and Ivonne explains, and that she's going and not feeling well. Ivonne explains the same to Pastor on the way out after yelling at the gossipy lounge lizards and he wonders why she would do such a thing, that she'll never find as good a job as this one. She says she knows but she still should have done this a long time ago.

Kike is yelling at Perfan wondering if he wants to lose Nid because that's what he will do if he stays here doing nothing except molding the chair cushion into the shape of his buttcheeks. Perfan says no way, he's ready to get a job, a legitimate one at that!! Hold on to your hat folks, a stinky wind is about to blow....

This was the absolute funniest part in this episode. heri gets off the elevator to happy go lucky clownlike background music. He's carrying a rose. He looks at Ivonne's desk and can't understand why she isn't there. He then looks over at Marely's and is distressed that she isn't there either. He begins to go through hottie withdrawal, (something like DTs I believe.... :)) he makes animal grunting noises.

Julia comforts a distraught Pastor that he did all he could given the circumstances and that things were bound to end this way between Pau and Ivonne... Pastor guesses she's probably right. She says everything isn't lost, when Juan finds out, he's not going to let Ivonne be discharged. Pasotr isn't sure if he is going to fight with Pau on yet another thing.

Heriberto busts in to Pastor's office and wonders why someone could fire his beloved Ivonne!!! This is the limit!!!

At the docs office, doc is glad Ivy came in right away. She's going to get some tests.

Lau is laying it on thick to Juan about how unique his piece is, it's abstract art. Yeah, abstract I'm sure....beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, and this beholder can't see the forest for the trees. Anyway...sadly since my screen is so fuzzy, I can't really see what it looks like. But she says it's soft yet firm, fragile yet strong, etc. Contemporary art in it's purest expression. (The same said of kindergarden popsicle stick structures. Lau flatters him more that he's got great hands that were made to get to know and to feel the shapes or forms. Uh huh. She says he can go wash his hands. She wonders when he'll come back so that they can advance to the next (instruction) level.

Pau and Ana are chatting and Pau is bitterly angry that Juan never shoed up for their pending discussion becausing his meeting with the Fulana was more important. Ana thinks Pau is seeing green, and not the money kind....Maná riffs play on throughout...as Pau goes to her room to sooth her headache.

Laura wants to know if Juan will take classes with her. She want to see him tonight..he's shocked so soon. He also wants to know what's up with his Juanito. he tells her if she want he can see her tonight, she says if it were up to her, she wouldn't let him leave.
