Caray, Caray!

OK, so the setup for tonight is that the younger set are on the way back from Puerto Vallarta on the road trip from hell. While stopping to fix a flat tire, Flor goes into labor. Yes, labor. And considering everyone else on this trip is either male or Valeria, who do you think is going to end up playing obstetrician?

Mili confirms that the baby's going to be born now, like right now, not later now. Everybody freaks out.

Luciana drinks twice her weight in alcohol as she accuses Damian of cleaning out her checking account. He denies it, of course, and says she must have drunk it all. She tries to scratch his eyes out, but he's more sober than she is, so he holds her off. Then he kicks her out of "his" office and tells her she's on her own from now on. Damn, that's cold, even for Damian.

Mat the Rat comes into Robledo Sr.'s office and tells him that Fernando has been killed and Mat will be killed too if he doesn't cooperate with the guy who killed Domingo Echavarria. He swears he's innocent. I don't think grandpa's buying that. Mat explains that the plot was for him to marry Marisela and then steal the girls' money. Mat says he can't tell the cops because the mob guys will kill him. More power to them, I say. Grandpa says they've got to take him to a hospital and Mat can tell the rest of the story on the way.

Florencia lies in the backseat with her knees up. Mili can't think of what else to do, so she prays to Jesús for help. Um, I believe his vocational training background was in carpentry, so I'm not sure how much help he'd be in this situation. Alejandro comes over to take a look, but Flor doesn't want him there…and Mili doesn't want him looking! Nor Rocky. Rocky faints dead away when Flor's knees fall apart. Valeria now comes over and has to tend to Rocky. Mili finally says that Alejandro will help her, but Flor tells them both to go away. Mili says they're her only options, even though she has no idea what to do.

Sor Cachete and Padre Manuel talk in the library. PM tells her that Damian came to visit. SC tells PM that she's worried about the Madre Superior. The doctor has been coming to visit and she's been keeping quiet about it.

Mili yells at "Florinda" to breathe. Rocky looks for instructions on how to deliver a baby in his book of roadside emergencies. He discovers that they need hot water. Much discussion on where the hot water should come from. Rocky ends up being sent to get it. It sounds like Mili's trying to convince the baby not to come out. Now they're all yelling at Rocky to bring towels…and disinfectant. Valeria has a lovely alcohol-free disinfectant in her luggage, thankfully. Seriously, I think fixing the tire and getting the hell back on the road and/or calling 911 would be a better idea than having the baby delivered by the Five Stooges.

Grandpa called Marisela to come to the hospital. He says they're going to the cops once they get Mat out of the hospital. Mat refuses because either (a) Villalobos will kill him and/or (b) the cops will think he's an accomplice and arrest him. He tries to convince Grandpa to let him flee the country. Grandpa says nothing will happen and goes looking for the doctor. Mat talks to himself, saying he's not going to jail and he walks out with his bright blue hospital gown and his pants. Yeah, thankfully we didn't have to be subjected to seeing his skinny butt.

Mili and Valeria are yelling at Flor to push. We hear a baby crying and see Alejandro faint out in front of the car. Mili hands the baby to Valeria and then cuts the cord. She takes the baby from Valeria and tries to hand her to Florencia. Florencia's a little squicked about holding the baby, but Hugo wants to have a look at her. Rocky finally came back with the hot water, but doesn't know what to do with it. Meanwhile Alejandro keeps lying on the ground passed out. Mili uses the water to wake him up. He faints again when he remembers why he fainted in the first place. Valeria keeps holding the baby, with Hugo looking on. Florencia just looks around as the "something bad is going to happen" theme song plays.

Mat the Rat runs out of the hospital and gets into Marisela's car. He tells her to take off, quick.

Hugo gets Flor back into the front seat of the car. He stares at Alejandro and Mili all googly-eyed over the baby. Mili tries to give Florencia the baby, but she won't take it. Yeesh! It's dangerous to just have the baby bouncing around in the car. Hugo says they're close to a town and should get there fast so Florencia and the baby can get checked out and they can get diapers for the kid. Flor keeps giving nasty looks to Alejandro and Mili while they keep looking all googly-eyed at the baby…and each other. Poor kid's going to have a hard time figuring out what to make of the story of what happened when she was born.

It's beating o'clock at the prison and Constancio doesn't have all the money necessary to avoid it. Once Mono finds out it's not all the money, Constancio starts the fast talking. He promises that Mono will have all the money before noon tomorrow. Mono says rules are rules and the other two guys get antsy to start teaching the new guy a lesson. Constancio finally says he'll pay double, which is a different story. Mono says he'll take the double, but if not, he'll have to pay up in the locker room (los vestidores), if you catch his meaning. The backup band leaves and Mono settles in for story hour.

Macarena, in another fabulous red dress and more cleavage on display than the previous evening, sings at her club again. Damian asks for a table and a tequila. Macarena takes notice and really belts it out for him. The crowd goes wild. The bouncer leads Macarena to Damian's table. She certainly doesn't invest much in the furniture. Looks like they're sitting on folding chairs. She has someone bring a bottle of tequila, to give Damian a shot of courage. She attempts to suffocate Damian in her cleavage. Damian remembers he's got to take one for the team, but he just can't bring himself to do it. He calls her "Sor Catalina" and says she's a pervert. She realizes he confused her with her sister, so he might know where her sister is. Damian goes out to his car and Macarena follows him, but he takes off before she gets a chance to ask where Catalina is…"She has something of mine." She goes back inside and tells the bouncer it's nothing, she'll explain it to him later. Come on, now, don't tell me Sor Cachete has the money…and still they have to fundraise for the orphanage every time one of those kids sneezes?

Sor Cachete thanks Gloria and Chamuco for inviting her to the movies, but she says there'd better be dinner after. She goes to tell the Madre Superior where she's off to. After she leaves, Chamuco breaks it to Gloria that he's not going to the movies with them since he's got to start his new job as a taxi driver tonight. Gloria is not happy. She really wants him to go to the movies with them, but he reminds her they need money for the baby. Gloria eventually agrees. See what happens when you lie about being pregnant? Let that be a lesson to you.

Mat the Rat and Marisela are back at her apartment. She wants him to swear he had nothing to do with "it." I guess he just told her that the Wolfman killed her daddy. She can't understand why he would do that. Mat explains he wants to take the business away from them. He says he wouldn't play along and that's why he looks like ground hamburger. The doorbell rings, but Mat doesn't want her to answer it. Marisela tells him it's Grandpa because she agrees with Grandpa that they should go to the cops. She says she won't let them live in fear. She answers the door and Grandpa is there with Detective Cienfuegos ("hundred fires") . He recognizes Mat from running off from the police station the other day. He wants an explanation. Mateo gives Grandpa a betrayed look, Marisela weeps, and Grandpa looks really, really disappointed in his super-loser grandson.

The young folks have returned to Casa Belmonte and Braulio is thrilled to see them and the baby. Mili is still holding her while Florencia looks pissed off. She says that the doctor in Middle of Nowhere said the baby was healthy, so yay! Death glare from Florencia. Braulio congratulates Alejandro and Flor and she's like "whatever, I just want to shower and then go visit Constancio in jail." Alejandro tells her she should rest, but she wants to confront Constancio about killing her dad. Mili tries to give the baby to Flor, again, but Alejandro's the one who ends up taking the baby upstairs as Braulio coos. Hugo can't help smiling, but then he looks at Milagros smiling and gives her the death glare again. Mili says they need to talk, but he says he has nothing to say to her and he's not interested in listening to her either. Valeria tells her to be patient and eventually Hugo will understand. Braulio wants to know about the gossip.

Valeria comes into Andrea's room. She wants to know how her Daddy is doing. Andrea tells her he'll be in jail for years what with all the evidence against him. Valeria tells her that the baby has been born and she wants to celebrate the birth, but everyone's upset about Daddy being in jail and Mommy being in rehab. Andrea says that's exactly why they should celebrate, to take their minds off things. Valeria goes off to change so she can go on the jail visit too.

Valeria, Alejandro, and Florencia sit at a table with Constancio. Alejandro explains that they didn't bring the baby because Flor had just breast-fed her (seriously? I feel sorry for the poor kid just thinking of all that bitterness and hatred and CRAZY that she's getting from Flor) and they left her with Socorro. Constancio starts with the "I didn't do it, you believe me, right?" Alejandro reminds him he's lied his whole life. Constancio reminds him that Domingo threatened him, but Alejandro remembers that Constancio threatened right back. Constancio said he only planned to ruin him, not kill him. Alejandro says he'll never cease to be amazed at what a rat bastard Constancio can be. Constancio says his conscience is clear (clear or nonexistent?) and he swears he's not a killer. Valeria says she wants to believe him, but he's lied about so many things…and he tried to separate her from Rocky. Constancio says if he was the killer they think he is, wouldn't Rocky be dead and buried? Now everyone, including Florencia, agrees to give him the benefit of the doubt. Florencia says if it turns out that he did it, she'll spend all her money keeping him locked up. Mafia Daddy turns over in his grave…any properly-brought-up Mafia Princess should be threatening him with death. Much more economical than wasting all of Daddy's hard-earned money on keeping Constancio in prison. Flor excuses herself and says she'll wait out front for them.

Rocky tells Socorro, Horacio, and Lina his version of the baby's birth while Socorro cradles a doll. Rocky claims that Mili fainted and Alejandro jumped out the window of the car. He says the baby popped out like an "esquida"…I don't see that as an official word, but is he calling his niece a squid? Socorro tells him he delivered the baby all wrong since he was saying that he pushed the baby out by pushing on Flor's stomach. Gloria now comes in and mentions Mili delivering the baby and Rocky fainting. Rocky goes to clean up the car (ew!) while the others laugh.

Constancio blah, blah, blah's about how crappy he feels, how he's scared, he's going to spend the rest of his life locked up, etc. He cries. Alejandro says if he's innocent, he'll get out. Constancio says even if he gets out, his career is over. Valeria says he's going to clear his name, but Constancio's not optimistic about it. Alejandro even manages to look sad. He looks up and sees Robledo Sr. and the cop guy. Alejandro says he wants to give Constancio a chance to clear his name, but Constancio better not let him down. Robledo Sr. and Cienfuegos come in and Alejandro says that Constancio is innocent. He offers to stay in jail so that Constancio can get out and find the real killer. Dude, that is the stupidest thing I ever heard. Constancio at least has the grace to call it stupid. Alejandro insists that he has to clear his name. Valeria reminds him that the baby and Mili need him. Sr. Robledo says that won't work and also they have good news--Constancio's getting out. Cienfuegos says they don't have the killer, but they're looking for him--Gustavo Villalobos. Valeria's thrilled. Constancio asks Alejandro for a hug. Alejandro looks really disturbed as Constancio hugs him.

The cops close in on the Wolfman's hideout. Of course, because we're in Ultimas Semanas, he's sitting there making a shady business deal. The cops come in with their assault rifles. The get Villalobos and the other two guys and take them out to the cars, after explaining to Villalobos what he's getting arrested for. Looks like Mono Salazar is going to have some competition soon.

Robledo Sr. is filling in Constancio and kids on the details of what Mat told him. Alejandro says he doesn't believe Mat to be innocent and that he made Alejandro look bad so that he could get his hands on the company. Constancio admits that he helped Mat to screw over Alejandro…no, wait, he admits that Mat asked for help, but he wouldn't help him, since he would never do that. Oh, Constancio, will you ever stop being a rat bastard? Grandpa is a little shocked, because he knows Mat is a rat, but he doesn't think he's a killer. Constancio remembers the night that he found Mateo hiding under his desk. Constancio surmises he must have been planting evidence. Cienfuegos looks like it's all adding up for him…he says he's going to call and have Mat detained since he's over giving his deposition. Alejandro comforts Grandpa.

At the station, Mat finishes giving his deposition, such as it is. The cop says he's going to go print the deposition so that Mat can sign it. Marisela is giving him puppy dog eyes for being all beat up. Mat says he was just trying to protect her. The desk guy gets the note about detaining Mat. When Mat goes over to ask if he can sign yet, the desk guy tells him he's being detained as an accomplice. Marisela is impactada, especially when the desk guy says they have proof against him. Mat the Rat gets hauled away.

Grandpa Robledo goes off to finish arranging for Constancio's release. Alejandro says he's leaving because Florencia's waiting for him. Constancio thanks him for his nice gesture. Valeria tells him they need to be closer, as a family, especially since mom's in rehab. Constancio hugs Valeria and calls her his good-luck charm. The record scratches as he tells her he's not too happy about the, ahem, runway show in Guadalajara, hm?

Lina, Mili, and Socorro fawn over the baby and how sweet she is. Mili encourages Lina to practice holding the baby. Oh, la Floreenda esa's going to love that! Socorro's offended that Florencia left the baby like this. Mili defends Florencia to the baby, saying she's going through a tough time and they need to be understanding. Yes, Saint Mili. She tells the gals that Florencia went to see Constancio in jail. Lina lets slip that Constancio is Mili's dad. Socorro is impactadissima!

And Monday…Marisela tells Florencia that Rigoberto's back; Damian and Andrea get busted; Florencia and Mili fight about the baby--well, that's refreshing, at least they're not fighting over Alejandro for once.
