Caray, Caray!

Just when I was wondering what happened to Heriberto, that is, the day of the fight did he really just take off for the pueblo? I guess so, 'cause now he's back! I'm so happy I get to recap him for my last time.

Juan wonders why he's visiting, because doesn't it annoy him wandering around on asphalt; that that's not his thing? Heri says well, now the pueblo just isn't the same, and he actually missed the office, the hallway gossip, the noise of the cars, and the contamination (pollution). Oh and Juan, because he's an on the level friend. He can't relate to Molondron, and even less his Pa. He wants his job back but Juan doesn't think that's such a good idea because he doesn't want any more problems. Heri promises there won't be anything, but Juan still has to consult with Pastor and if he isn't ok with it then there's nothing he can do because Pastor is in charge of personnel, even if Juan is president, he has to support his decision.

Pastor comes in and shys away. Heri offers his seat, but Pastor is fine standing, and no one gives up their seat for him, AND he wants to be "usteded." Juan explains it all and Pastor says it's my decision?

Heri moves in to explain and Pastor yells at him to stay far away, he can still hear. Heri promises that what happened will not repeat and he has thought a lot and understands now that some people like Mezcal and some red wine [Hmm...I like both, what does that make me? :)] he continues trying to delicately explain himself trying not to offend Pastor; that some are born to be hawks and others to be doves, and some like the Tigres del Norte (tigers of the north), but others the Pantera Rosa(the Pink Panther) (one a famous nortena band that the "everyman" would like, the other a play on an organization promoting GLBT issues- and both animals I must note... ;)) . Yeah, ok, Pastor gets it, and tells him to shut up already. Pasty says he can come back then, but not as his assistant. Heri says that's fine as long as it's not down in the dungeon where flies won't even go and he couldn't see the sun. Heri thanks Juan.

Pau wants to go in to see Juan but Ivonne detains her and tells her what's happening. Just then Mar walks up and tells them very sarcastically that she has something important to talk to Juan about so if it's not a problem she wants to go first, super hint rhetorical question there. Pau says yeah, go ahead, don't think bad things Marely, I only wanted to talk to him about work. Mar says she'd rather not think.

Juan tells her of Heri's return and suggests that maybe he could be her assistant. She doesn't answer that, instead asks Heri to leave them alone. He gladly obliges.

Mar drops the bomb, literally, because the whole office hears her screaming, including Pau who goes to cower in her office, that she's resigning and that he's lying to her and doesn't know how to treat people. He keeps telling her he's not lying, but she isn't buying it, they gave different versions of the story, she asks him if it's all true, then what did they talk about on their ride home and he says well the weather and that the polar current is entering the gulf and such things. She accuses him of not respecting her and that she's stupid for even thinking this would work and she leaves her resignation with him. He tells himself he's surprised at this outburst that he's never seen her this out of sorts.

Laura reports to "Sandro" the gossip that Mar came out of the office throwing sparks and he wonders why nothing ever turns out the way he planned. He sends her off to find out EXACTLY what happened.

What happened to the commercials? Sheesh. Sorry...I'll finish tomorrow...

OK, I'm working on it again...

Next it's Pau's turn to yell at Juan. She told him this would happen and that's why she didn't want the ride and then wanted him to go to her house directly, she's mad he said he only took her to the taxi stand. He asks her if she would have had him tell her that he gave her the ride with full intention of talking to her and asking about her life, and then ending up kissing her? Pau tells him to shut up. He says no way, what should he have told her? Essentially Pau says well, not that, but also not that he only took her to the taxis.

He tells her that Mar resigned and that it seems like they aren't novios anymore. LIke the terribly upset about this guy that he is, he launches right into how he thinks this means that he & Pau still have a chance and that God is putting his hand into this and telling them they are on the wrong path and they will destroy themselves if they continue this way. She thinks that at the expense of Marely's happiness, no way. Again he says he loves Pau and what does she expect him to do She says get that out of his heart, because Mar loves him so she and he can never be together. (What kind of logic is that?) She begs him to fix things with Mar and get her to take him back.

CL shows up to Mar's office because he hears she's leaving. She thinks that doesn't matter to him. He says it does, that there must be something that can fix all this. She says no, because no one in this office knows how to tell the truth. She calls him a two face and Juan a cynic, and he offers to help by getting the story from her. She tells him to leave her alone when Pau and Juan walk in and want her to listen to them.

Finally, a commercial.

She kicks Sandro out. Juan finally admits he lied and wants to tell her the truth. Pau too. OK, so they are still lying and tell her that they decided to say goodbye to each other for ever. She asks Juan if that's true. he tells himself that's 99% true, because where there was fire some embers remain.

Back at Casa Cachon Yadi leaves to go to the hospital telling Nid that the baby is much better and will be coming home tomorrow.

Mar notes that his silence doesn't mean good things. He wonders what he should say because his little dove put the nail in the coffin, but his little rose gardener wants the truth that he can't give without killing her. He says yes, they had to clear things up and that's all. Pau chimes in and tells her again not to think things that aren't there, that she and Juan are... and Mar cuts off her off that they'll stop right there, and she marches out to their protest. Pau gives him the I told you so speech again and stomps out. He wonders to himself what the hell he's doing because he's hurting the two women he cares about the most in the world.

Heri knocks to see Pastor, who very coldly and formally asks what Mr. Chavez wants. He wants to say he's sorry. Pastor says if that's all then go ahead and go. Heri wants to know if he's pardoned and Pastor says the past is past and he doesn't live in nostalgia so bye bye. Heri goes out.

Perfan is still outside of the Cachon house and TONKI has returned to the Foros Televisa! He's keeping Perf company, isn't that kind of him. Perf has a new sign proclaimning, "liberty, equality and fraternity" "long live love", and "out with the usurper." Meanwhile Nid is on the phone with the police telling them about the screaming crazyman on her lawn that her neighbors begged her to get rid of.

Ivonne wonders if the PI has found anything on the twins yet. He says Sandro goes home and no one else comes out. Fer wonders if she's listened to any of his calls and she says he makes all his personal calls from his office that she can't check, but I think she says maybe they should "borrow" his cell and see what calls he may have made. Fer agrees to risk all this for her.

Outside the protest is suddenly interrupted by the PoPo. They want to talk to Perf and he doesn't understand why. He explains that this is his house and his wife is inside. They wonder then why he doesn't just go inside. He says well, there is a conspiracy, because my wife is inside with the worst kind of pervert imaginable, a big headed vegetable seller, infectious, and a perfect ruffian. That's the person you should detain. By the way I am an internationally famous lawyer...blah blah. They ask him if he thinks they are from Timbuktu, in other words, they don't believe him. Perf thinks he sees what's up, then they are in cahoots with the guy in there and he thinks that's an old trick of corrupt cops and begins insulting them. Of course they haul him away.

Back at Farell Laura completes the story to "Sandro" that Juan and Pau went out together and she thinks Pau was trying to get Juan alone because she can't stand him with Mar so after that is when Mar got upset. "Sandro" makes a call.


Mar is going home with her box when real Sandro shows up outside the house and asks to speak with her. He begs to talk to her and she thinks that there is no use if he's trying to talk her into staying. He agrees with her and begs her to have coffee with him.

Nid waits for Anga to be napping and she goes down to clean up the squatters shack.

Fer is yelling at Juan wondering que the hell, that Juan even he told him his feelings for Pau were dead and buried. Juan needs to get some air and says he can't explain it even to himself.

Across the hall Ivonne is also match making yelling at Pau for not having shared her true feelings either. Pau blames Juan, but Ivonne says no, you both love each other stupid and nothing is going to make him love Marely. Pau thinks if she wasn't around it would be better but Ivonne says nope, sooner or later you'll encounter each other and this is going to keep happening. Pau says in that case she knows just who she needs to speak to. She doesn't say who, but marches out.

Heri makes his peace with Ivonne and asks her to help him with a delicate matter that he can't discuss here because the walls have ears, she begrudgingly accepts his apology and finally agrees to go with him somewhere to talk about his "problem."

Sandro chats with Marely and she is confused because now he's congratulating her for her fine decision and 2 hours ago was trying to convince her to stay. He continues with the old "that's the work me and I have a duty there," but this is the "out of the office real me just one of the guys"...blah blah and that he considers her a friend and asks her to confide in him. In spite of herself, Marely breaks down and tells him that Juan and Pau betrayed her behind her back and blah...and she is fooling herself because she knows how much they loved each other and that doesn't die. But she doesn't know why she's doing this to herself. Sandro does, she's in love.

In a coffee shop, Heri is still nervously trying to tell Ivonne something and she is losing her patience with him. Come on... OK he says,

I THINK I'M IN LOVE WITH PASTOR!!!

QUE???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? OMG!!!

We get an impactada face from Ivy, oh and a commercial. Of course now they coming every other minute...! And your recapper falls on the floor. No way...

Heri continues about thinking in the Pueblo and about all the things he and Pasty did together, and at first he was mad that Pasot expressed his love for him, but then he thought fondly on eveything. He went to the herb doctor to help him get all these bad thoughts out of his head, and was told to put herbs on his head and night, so there he was putting the herbs on his head, looking in the mirror and suddenly thought about Pastor's toupee. He's so confused and wonders if this is love that he's feeling. Ivonne doesn't know what to say. Yeah, not sure I would either. That's heavy.

Sandro tells Mar that he wishes everything was different, he begs her not to leave yet because he tells her he's in love with her and thinks about her all the time, he's loved her since he met her. She thinks he's crazy. He says yes he's so crazy that he's not even worrying about the consequences of telling her this. He tells her she doesn't know who he really is, and she responds that she knows he needs a doctor fast because just a short time ago he was interested in Pau and he was very clear when he told her this. He says Pau doesn't interest him but she does. She thinks it's a pity that he had the opportunity and if anyone could have erased what she felt for Juan it would have been him, but he's ruined that. Essentially she has enough to worry about with her other problems and he's destroyed what she felt for him, respect, etc. even love.

Back to Heri, he asks her not to tell anyone yet. She promises, and that she is happy to hear these feelings come out of his mouth because she thought he was a tough guy that had no feelings. He's afraid he's sick or being punished and she says it's not a sickness and you are more of a man for recognizing and being honest with yourself about such feelings than hiding them away for your whole life. He is crying and she strokes his hair. So sweet.

At home Marely tells Ma she was talking with Sandro and oh by the way she resigned.

Rosi tells a greening Fer that Ivy left with Heri.

Marely spills the beans about Pau and Juan to Nid. Nid starts to blame Pau, and praises Mar for acting like a Cachon. She says that as the novia she needs to wait for him to apologize to her. She says they already did, and Nid essentially gives her a pep talk into fighting for him if she doesn't want to lose him, which she doesn't, so she needs to forgive him.

Anga's nap is interrupted by constant doorbells. PERF is back. Nid is sending him to the devil essentially but he won't budge. She swears she's filing for divorce tomoorrow and that Angs's here recuperating from delicate surgery. Perf thinks the onioner should do it elsewhere, and he won't attend the divorce meeting. Anga comes out to help resolve the situation and gets a barage of insults from Perf. Now Mar gets in on it and they tag team him to leave. Perf gets down on his knees and begs his wild orchid for another opportunity and Nid makes a "maybe" face.

Another commercial break

He hit a soft string because she lets him in to the office and very seriously tells him that she feels nothing for him. He married for pure love on the other hand. She throws back that really he bought her as his wife and they married for the wrong reasons. Anga came into her life much before him, and even before Sam. Oh by the way, he's the father of Yadi too. Perf finally shuts up.

Ivonne comes back bringing a torta for Fer who is not as receptive as he should be. He explains that the PI has news but he couldn't find her to tell her because she was doing God knows what with Heri. She tells him he has a problem but she can't tell him what. He doesn't like this answer and starts yelling unprofessionally again. I don't like him when he does this.

And we are back to where we started again with this novela. First Juan, then Pau, beg Santo Nino for illumination with their problems. Juan is just leaving when Pau shows up unknown to him. Mostly she begs that Mar not suffer on her account. [Not that she doesn't suffer, just that it's not because of her doings.] Well at least they are keeping her in character until the bitter end.

We see Juan turn around before leaving the church because he forgot to pray for Juanito. He goes back just in time to hear his Palomita begging Santo to get rid of this great love that she feels for Juan. He asks her "Que the hell did you say?" And we'll find out her answer tonight.
