Yo Amo A Juan, Tues, 4/29: Nidia's suitors fight, Don Lorenzo thanks Juan, and Fern makes a proposal
Kike and Yadi remember the good times in their courtship. Kike helpfully reminds Yadi that the good times ended before they got married. But he wants to start Kike and Yadi, Part 2. She wants to take it more slowly and let things take their natural course.
The professort steps away from their table, grabbing the railing for balance. Marely scolds her mom for coming on so strong. Nidia denies any wrongdoing, but she can't help herself, she always falls for the intellectual types!
Marely and Yadi go to powder their noses. Yadi chides Marely for griping about Nidia's behavior. Yadi tells Marely she should concentrate more on making something happen with her and Juan.
Juan is starting to get nervous as he sees how much the professor is drinking -- and the interest he and Nidia are showing in each other!
Nacho calls Delirio at the house, asking after Yadi. She hasn't come home! Delirio counsels Nacho about life with a Cachon woman: cynicism, not honoring their conjugal duties, etc. He should know!
The Cachi-cachi theme starts up. Juan asks Marely to dance and tells her that, just for tonight, he only has eyes for her, Yadi, and Nidia. Marely bugs him about the woman he's dating and Juan squirms. Who is she?
Paula is asleep at home. She dreams of Juan all over another woman, embracing this stranger and looking up to cackle at Paula. Beyond Juan are CL and his twin, looking on. Paula wakes up horrified. What a nightmare!
Paula's mom, as always, counsels her to drink tea and try to rest. Paula's been through a lot. But Paula can't rest, she'll never sleep and things are falling apart at work. They need to find a new VP of Administration. Only then will Paula be able tell Juan how she feels about him.
Bros Angarita and Pastor are outside a nightclub. We hear the Cachi theme. Anga is not sure about this but Pastor convinces him to go in. You can't have a conversation in a place like this! They sit down at a table, Anga gripes at the waiter, but then they agree to order drinks. Just then, across the dance floor Anga sees his Nidia Estella dancing with another man!
Juan and company see Anga, who comes over to greet them. What a small world! Juan and everyone try to distract Anga and prevent him from seeing Nidia, but it is too late.
Nidia and her man return to the table. Anga greets Nidia and asks if she is going to introduce the prof. Anga demands that Nidia comes with him to talk, but she refuses. She's having fun! She and the prof head out to dance and Nidia tells him that Anga is a little crazy.
Anga, standing behind Nidia tries to get her to come with him. The prof is able to use his words without slurring and tell Anga to respect the lady. Anga calls the prof a bookworm and other insults. They threaten each other and Anga's ready to fight. Juan, Pastor, and the crew run to try to stop it, but the senior men are going at it!
Later, the Cachon ladies return to the roost. Marely blames her mom for the drama. Nidia says, it's not drama, but romance!
Juan, Kike, and the happy professor drive home. The prof is ready to party some more, but Juan tells him he's had enough. The prof gushes about how Juan has showed him another way of life, opened new horizons for him. Kike makes a face at the professor's breath.
Marely heads up the stairs and screams. It's Delirio! The man in striped PJ's is heading down the stairs. He rounds up the ladies to demand answers to where they were. Each sister finds a way to get out of the conversation and heads up to bed. Nidia is left staring half blankly at Delirio.
At the Pomposo household, Juan and the prof sneak in. But the lady of the house hears them and sees the bruise on Lorenzo's face. She curses Juan and storms off. The prof makes a mock serious face, but later he is pleading outside the bedroom door for her to let him in.
At Casa Cachon, Delirio decides he's going to sleep alone and denies Nidia's pleas outside the bedroom door. She's going to make a scene and wake the childen! Oh, the innocent children, says Nidia. Delirio opens the door enough to slam a pillow and blanket at Nidia.
Lorenzo sets his blanket and pillow the couch and thanks Juan for showing him another way to live.
It is morning, and the Cachon women are at breakfast. Marely tells her mom not to drink so much coffee. Nidia says she hardly slept at all on the couch, but she brightens up. She has a job interview today! For an executive position at a beauty place. She told them she was under 30. Yadi is thrilled, Marely not so much.
At the hospital, Yvonne wakes to see Fernando asleep on the couch in her room. She coughs to wake him, then says he must not have slept well. He insists he's used to it. She is reluctant to have him making so many sacrifices for her.
Fern tells her she needs someone to take care of her, she can't be alone. She says she's got her aunt. He says, come live with me. Marry me. Yvonne stares at him, her eyes starting to tear up.

Susana, you are so right about Ana's cure-all, tea and rest. On the flip side Nidia's cure-all is dancing and drinking. I wonder when these two are going to start to pal around again? I miss their odd-couple chemistry.
I was thinking that this was just a weird filler episode where nothing in particular happens (OK, so maybe it was), but then all of a sudden Fernando proposed!
And in conclusion...good luck Nidia. I can't wait to see you try to sweet talk your way into age 30. But then again isn't 50 the new 30? At least that's what I keep telling myself.
Thanks Susana! Most excellent recap!
Nidia is sliding down the slippery slope in spite of her daughter's efforts, well Marely anyway. Alirio's sudden aggressive response was a turn around, I guess they stuck him with too cranky of a baby and too cranky of a former friend, Nacho. Nidia is certainly the center of attention among the women characters. Is do love her outlandish costumes and to think she is very near or over 60 in real life. She is a hoot.
Hopefully something very exciting will happen tonight -- I hope Yvonne accepts Fern's proposal!
I hope Ivonne accepts too.
Can you get someone to tag this for you so it won't get "lost" later on? Miss the leisurely time with you all but enjoying all the hullabaloo down here as well. Judy B.
“Nidia denies any wrongdoing, but she can't help herself, she always falls for the intellectual types!” Nah, she falls for the male types. Period. She can try to delude herself but there’s no denying, she likes all things male.
“They need to find a new VP of Administration. Only then will Paula be able tell Juan how she feels about him.” I am so hard-pressed to understand how these two are correlated. Nidia’s logic must be spilling over to Paula.
“the crew run to try to stop it, but the senior men are going at it!” LOL! Whoda thunk it. The viejos rock, too!
Sylvia, one church in Forgotonia (Sierra Escondido) could possibly make sense, but one disco in the D. F.--you are so right!
