Caray, Caray!

CL brags to Sandro that he didn't have to lift a finger to set off Paula and Juan. When he and Paula met at the restaurant to discuss the sale of the shares, Juan and Marely were there, too. It was perfect!

Juan and Marely are driving and she apologizes to him for her antics from the night before. She's not accustomed to drinking like that. He says there's no need to apologize. But she's afraid that she's boring to him. Boring?!? How can that be? She's a Cachon! Juan goes on to list all of her attributes.

Sandro tries to express some concerns to CL about buying the shares from Paula. Is CL's plan legal? CL says, who cares? Sandro reminds CL and Juan and Marely are together, so he doesn't have to keep Juan and Paula apart. CL doesn't think that Juan and Marely will last. And he's leaving nothing to chance. Paula has no idea about the trap has in store for her! Sandro says, whatever you say.

At Casa Cachon, Nidia serving food to Angarita. He says, what about Perafan outside? Nidia's sure Perafan will go away. Angarita decides to bring some food out to the camper. Outside, Aliro is picketing: "Bald man outside, Perafan inside." And, for the record, he doesn't want any of the food. Angarita tastes it to prove it's not poisoned. Delirio still refuses. OK, says Angarita, go to hell! Delirio tells Anga he doesn't want to go to hell -- he'd see Anga there!

At Farrell, Juan barges into "Sandro"/CL's office. Sure, sure, come on in, have a seat, says "Sandro." Juan starts to talk about the sale of his shares and "Sandro" informs Juan that he's no longer intersted in buying them. What?! "Sandro" has another commitment now. Juan starts to bug him about the meeting with Paula at the restaurant the night before. What was it, business? "Sandro" is coy about it. After exchanging some polite insults, "Sandro" tells Juan he's barking up the wrong tree. And "Sandro" tells Juan, sometimes you just have to keep a low profile about your plans.

Juan tells Fern how he struck out, "Sandro" wouldn't tell him what the meeting last night with Paula was about. Well, says Fern, why don't you go over to Paula's office and find out for yourself?

As it turns out, Paula has gone. In fact, she's just left, so Juan hurries downstairs after her. Down in the garage, Paula's car won't start: No puede ser!! It's the battery. Juan arrives and offers to give her a ride. She doesn't want to be rude, but she'd rather not accept a ride from him. He insists and she gets in the car.

Upstairs, Marely steps into the lobby and asks after Juan. Ivonne tells her Juan just left. Marely hurries out. Yvonne smiles, nervous at what's in store.

Downstairs, a staffer tells Marely that Juan just left. With Paula. Paula???

In the car, there is silence. Juan starts to ask Paula about the dinner with "Sandro." She doesn't want to talk about it. Juan tells her he can't stand it anymore, he feels like he's drowning. Juan tells her the truth -- that he loves her now and he's always loved her from the start. She confronts him, why now, so late?

Paula asks, what about the other women? Juan says that he was just trying to forget Paula. He wants to know how she feels. Paula is angry and crying. But what about Marely? I can't love a man who would hurt Marely like that. She's my sister and my friend! Paula gets out of the car. Juan grabs her and tries to embrace her. They almost kiss, but she pulls away.

Back at the office, Juan comes into Marely's office. He heard she was looking for him. Yes. She asks him what he's been up to. Nothing. She heard he took off with Paula. Paula? No, no. But Marley saw them leave the garage together. Well, as it turns out, he did give Paula a ride to the taxi stand... her car broke down. Juan, is there anything else you want to tell me? Juan says no. He changes the subject and invites her out to eat.

Paula bursts in the door to her mom's place, crying. Paula tells her mom that Juan told her just now that he loves her. And that he and has always loved her. Her mom brightens. Did Paula tell Juan that she loved him, too? No, of course not! She couldn't. It's too late, he's with Marely. Ana tries to tell Paula that it's not too late. Juan doesn't love Marely, he loves Paula. And Paula should be honest with Juan and with herself!

At lunch, Marely is telling Juan about a report the she's going to write with a proposal of how to cut expenses. Juan is staring off into space, looking devastated. Marely asks him what the problem is. Nothing, nothing. He tells her he wants to talk about something other than work. She wants to know what else there is... He looks so down and he's been so quiet.

Marely says, why does she get the feeling that he's lying to her? Juan gives her an earnest look, he says he doesn't know why she feels that way. And she tells him that it's really, really important to her that he doesn't lie to her.

Back at Casa Cachon, Yadi is trying to feed Nidia Michaela. The baby won't eat and Yadi feels her face. The baby has a high fever! Yadi and her mom scramble to call the doctor. Yadi is hysterical and tries to reach Kike at his new business. Julia tells Yadi that Kike's out and he doesn't have his cell with him. Yadi tells her Kike needs to call, it's urgent.

At the hosptial, the doctor tells Nidia and Yadi that they're having a hard time bringing the baby's fever down. They are devastated.

Kike returns back to his office, after a successful meeting with a client. The phone rings and Yadi tells him that the baby is in the hosptial. They haven't been able to get the fever down. Kike asks, why didn't you tell me sooner? Yadi tells him she called before she left for the hospital -- and told Julia it was urget. Julia had told Yadi that Kike didn't have his cell. Kike scowls at Julia, why did you tell her I left my phone, my daughter is in the hospital!!! He storms off. Julia looks like she is not living her best life.

At the hosptial, Kike and Yadi hug each other. He asks Yadi what's going on. She doesn't know and can't tell him. He goes to scream at a nurse.

In the meantime, the doctor has come in to talk to Nida and Yadi. The doctor tells them that it may be a bacterial infection, they would need to use a strong antibiotic. He's not sure that the baby can tolerate that medication. Kike starts to threaten the doctor: he doesn't want anything bad happening to his little girl. The doctor calmly says, I can understand that you're upset... You just need to sign a release to do the treatment.

At Farrell, Ivonne bursts into Paula's office. Ivonne wants to know what Paula's crying about. Paula denies that she's crying. Then, Paula tells her that Juan told her yesterday that he has always loved her. Yvonne thinks that's good news. So Yvonne and Ana agree! But Paula says that Juan's with Marely. Yvonne reminds her that they're not married. If their engagement broke off, it would be sad, but not the end of the world.

Paula tells Yvonne that she doesn't want to get in Marely's way and hurt her like she's done so many times. And she doesn't want to repeat her past mistakes. After all, she broke up Monica's marriage to CL. Yvonne reminds Paula that CL and Monica's marriage was dead before Paula arrived on the scene. And Yvonne was with CL then. Paula doesn't want to hurt Marely -- and she has work to do. She shoos Yvonne out.

Kike and Yadi and Nidia wait at the hosptial. Nidia, the voice of reason, tells them to stay calm. The doctor comes out to give them an update and Kike tells him to speak Spanish. The doctor has come out to tell them that that baby is better. Kike hugs him and jumps for joy.

Juanito is putting on his PJ's while Juan stares off into space, sad. Juanito wants to know why Juan's so quiet. Juan starts to say "Pa-" then stops. He starts to talk about how he didn't have a "papa" the way Juanito does. Juanito's not buying it. He asks his dad if he is really in love with Paula? Juan looks shocked and denies it. Juan goes through the "logic" of the situation: Marely is is girlfriend, Paula is not. Juanito wants to know why Juan doesn't hug Marely like he loves her. Juan says that Marely is a very special person. Juanito chides him, tell the truth...

At the hosptial, Yadi and Kike are standing over baby Nidia's crib. Each of them is holding her hand. Yadi says she's thankful that the baby is better and that Kike is her father. Yadi tells Kike can see the baby any time. She says Kike is a good person, she took him for granted. Yadi wants the baby to learn from Kike's example and not to suffer for Yadi's mistakes. Kike looks at her, surprised.

At Casa Julia, she is calling all the hospitals to try to find out where the baby is (no HIPAA rules in Mexico?). She tells a person on the phone the baby's name: no it's not a joke. Finally she calls the right place.

Yadi and Kike each try to tell each other to go home for the night to sleep. But they both want to stay with the baby and scowl at each other resolutely.

Paula is in her bed, hugging her bear and crying. She hears her mom's words, that she should tell Juan how she feels. She starts to tell herself that's what she'll do, but then she worries about Marely.

Juan is pensive, sad, staring up at the ceiling from his bed. He hears Paula's words, that she wouldn't want to be with someone who was capable of hurting Marely, her sister and her friend.

Marely is taking off her makeup in her bedroom, looking very, very sad. She hears Juan's words, struggling to explain to her that nothing happened with Paula.

At the hospital, Julia comes to the baby's room and opens the door. It's dark and she sees that Yadi and Kike are asleep in the room, leaning on each other. She turns away.

In the morning, Julia is sitting on her couch, like a parent waiting up for a delinquent teenager. Kike comes through the door and says a formal good morning to her. He tells her that the baby is better. She says that she is glad. He is sorry he was cross with her. She tells him that it's no problem. He mentions that she looks like there is a problem. No, no.

Julia flashes back to the discovery of Kike and Yadi in the hospital room, asleep together. She tells Kike that she needs to him to move out... uh, she and her ex reconciled and he would be jealous of Kike living there. Sure, sure. Kike goes to get his things. She offers to help him pack. He says he can do it himself and be out of there in five minutes.

Marely confronts Paula in the Farrell lobby. She has some questions for Paula, who looks stunned. They step into Paula's office.

Why is it so hard to answer the question, Paula? Were you with Juan or not? Paula says no. Marely tells her that she saw Paula and Juan leaving the garage together. Oh, that! He gave me a ride to my mom's. Any Marely asks, what did you talk about? Nothing. And I decided along the way there that I wanted to take a taxi and I got out.

Marley tells her Juan told a different story, about taking her only to the corner taxi stand. Paula says, I didn't want to create an appearance of impropriety when there was nothing there. I didn't want you to have doubts. Marley shouts, I didn't have any doubts until you gave me reason to! She storms out of the office.

Marely runs into Laura in the hall. Laura wants to know, why the long face? Marely rushes into her office, in tears. She slams her hand on the desk, they're both liars!
