Caray, Caray!

I’m going to try something new this week. When I take notes on paper, I have to pause the show too much. When I try to type on my laptop when I watch, I have to pause too much. This time I’m going to sit down and write what just happened at each commercial break. Hope it works ok. Sorry if anything is out of order, but I don’t think it will matter.

Alonso frets about going out with Sara, hottie assistant Valeria tells him to go, why not? He says “duhhhh… ok.” Then he thought bubbles about how it wouldn’t be fair to deprive Sara of his friendship just because she’s friends with Lorena. Gosh how magnanimous of him.

Lorena sells her sweets (no not THAT she’s a professional virgin) on the street. Ernesto just happens, in the largest city in the western hemisphere, to be driving down that street. He buys a couple and says they look good, but he’s a harsh critic. Lorena stands by her product. He drives away, he was very nice about the whole thing.

Diana tries to visit Vasco, Skeletor Barbara runs her off, in spite of Jaime defending Diana as Vasco’s boyfriend. We know who wears the pants around here. In fact, she does always wear pants, have we seen Barbara wear a dress or anything? In the hall, Hortensia talks smack to her too, Diana storms off. Sara comes in and tells Hortensia that Dr. Bruno, who operated/took care of Vasco, is Diana’s sperm donor and gives her the whole story. Hortensia goes to Bruno and offers him a Director post at a private hospital and a fat check, but only if he marries Diana. Bruno looks like he’ll do it without a second thought. Surely he’d end up being Arturo v2.0, but with a better looking mistress since he’d have money.

Dario is worried about Jackie being so late at the wedding and tells Bettina that surely Paula had something to do with it, Bettina asks him to stop dogging her mom. Jackie finally shows up and Dario and Bettina think the dress looks funny, but whatever. The shortest wedding of all time commences, all they do is say ‘acepto’ and sign their names, and it’s over. Jackie tries to not move a muscle so her dress doesn’t fall apart, during the kiss she’s tucking part of it back together.

Bruno thinks about Hortensia’s offer.

Jackie gets into a snit and argues with Dario, she is upset about her dress and her wedding being ruined. She stomps off to the bathroom, where her mother (very scary looking woman by the way) follows her and gives her an attitude adjustment. After Hortensia and Arturo’s mom, I expected her to be the same, but she made a lot of sense. Quit sniveling, you are making it worse, get out there and enjoy your wedding, or all the pictures will have you with that horrible look on your face. Jackie tries to make a smile in the mirror and doesn’t quite succeed.

Paula gets weepy and drunk, ends up passing out on the couch. Alonso brings Bettina home, she smells his cologne (like he poured on the bottle) and they have a conversation about love and he tells her it is the greatest thing, even if it doesn’t always work out the way you expect. Later, Paula wakes up and sees an invitation on the table and decides she’s going to go – I guess this is the party or event where Bettina’s friend’s dad is also going to be, right? She is surprisingly alert after how drunk she was before. When she wakes up in her tight sweater, I am again reminded of how the best body on the show is being kept under wraps. Not fair.

Speaking of nice bodies, Sara is dressed up with her boobs basically hanging out to go meet Alonso. For once I agree with one of her plans. If she is out to conquer a horny man, and we all know how horny Alonso is, she is on the right track. Julian asks her why she seems so at peace with the whole Lorena thing, Sara makes up some excuse about giving it time. Zulema comes in and tells her she looks like she’s going on a date, not just coffee with a friend. If this were a Mexican mom for real, there would have been a fight about how she’s dressed. Most moms aren’t so happy to see their daughters showing off the goods to some man they haven’t met.

Lorena comes home, she sold all her stuff, and talks to Rosy. Rosy wants her to come to the movies with her and Julian, but Lorena says no, it will remind her of when all four of them went out. Why stop there? I can’t eat, it reminds me of eating with him. I can’t walk, it reminds me of walking with him. Etc. You can see I don’t have patience for that sort of thing.

Hortensia looks at Ernesto’s book and is impressed. Is this a real book and they are really trying to boost sales, or what?

Jaime comes to the lesser house to try and talk to Omar, Omar slams the door in his face. Just then Maruja comes up, they talk briefly and Jaime asks her to spend some time with him, walk, talk, get a drink, whatever. She has here eyes so wide open, you would think he just asked her to have sex in the alley. I guess she still just sees him as Mr. big shot from her work.

Alonso and Sara get to a restaurant and make nice small talk to each other. Just then, her cell phone rings and in defiance of all common etiquette, she answers to be greeted by Chalo saying “Hola mi rrrreina” in that incredibly annoying way of his. Sometimes I say that to my wife in my Chalo voice, along with “quien es tu Challlloooooo” just to get a rise out of her. She doesn’t say anything to him, just hangs up and tells Alonso that it was Lorena. Of course it rings again, so she turns it off. They talk and make googly eyes at each other, before long she has talked him into taking her to Chapultapec the next day, she’s going to skip school to go. Mr. high and mighty morals Alonso doesn’t seem to have any problem with it. It may have had something to do with Sara continuing to rest her barely restrained breasts on the table. Very subtle. Gabriel Soto must be a better actor than we thought, because they don’t have him staring at them the whole time.

Meanwhile Lorena studies and starts crying and moping when she finds a picture of her and Alonso.

Arturo and Barbara meet up in a hotel room, he gets upset once he realizes they aren’t going to have sex. She storms out, he says to the empty room that he’s getting tired of her.

Paula goes to the bar and finds Daniel there, he has an invitation too, they figure out that the daughters set them up. She wants to go yell at Bettina, Daniel has seen the tight sweater and says no no no, stay, let’s make the best of this. She agrees and actually starts acting normal. They get a table.

Jackie is all steamed about her wedding being ruined, she is in bed with Dario, who is trying to get something started, but she’s on the phone with her mom, who is continuing to give her good advise (hey! Cheer up! You’re married!) which Jackie seems determined to ignore. When she hangs up, Dario tries to get her to move on from the dress and that nobody from the company came, but she just wants to go to sleep. Plenty of time for nookie in Thailand, where she apparently doesn’t really want to go.

Paula and Daniel enjoy some drinks – I have to take a time out. So far she got totally bombed, passed on out the couch, then went back out, in the same clothes, still early enough to catch Daniel at the bar? How is this possible? It takes (uh *ahem* I’ve heard) a lot longer than that to sleep off that much booze, especially when you’re in your 30s. Plus, I hope she brushed her teeth before she left the house. Anyway, Daniel seems to want to get a little closer to her but she is obsessed with her ex, who lookie here, just showed up. She gives Daniel a big wet kiss, his chin is shiny wet afterwards, to try and make Dario jealous, which seems to work. He marches right up, is introduced to Daniel, then Paula teases him for not being upstairs on his wedding night. So now the novela code dictates only one hotel too? Jeez. When Daniel figures out that she just kissed him for Dario’s sake, he isn’t pleased. I won’t be surprised if he leaves.

Jaime takes Maruja back to her house, then tells her how nice she is and touches her hand and tries to kiss her. He does it in a totally non-creepy way, I think this actor is by far the most convincing in his character. I hadn’t always liked him in other shows, but I really think he’s doing a fabulous job here. Of course, Maruja is a bit freaked out and runs in the house, telling muffin-wrapping Lorena that nothing is wrong.

The next day Lorena is selling muffins at the only intersection in the world, when Hortensia sees her and tells her driver to call her over. Lorena’s smile disappears when she sees Hort, who tells her “you finally ended up where someone as useless as you belongs.” What a nice lady. She is so screwed in a month or two. Or however long this show lasts. She continues to insult Lorena until Lorena says “at least I never dumped a baby at an orphanage.” This shuts Hortensia up, she tells her driver to move it. He tells her that they are at a stop light! She just says move it!

Ernesto is at the location of his new restaurant, where someday I’m sure Lorena is going to be the chef (no spoiler just guessing), he meets a woman named Monica (hello Monica!) who is hot but frowny, she seems to have a big problem with Ernesto. He has no idea why and his business partner (sorry I can’t remember his name) shows up before the conversation goes any further. Monica just keeps frowning at him.

Chalo rides up on his motorcycle and almost hits Sara as she is leaving the lesser house, wanting to know why she didn’t answer last night. She goes off on him, someone could see them! He is tired of staying hidden, she tells him to go take a vacation to Acapulco (sign me up!). He says with her? No, under what pretext could she get away? He says what if he meets some nice American girl there? She says she’s not worried, they are together in something. She unspeakingly promises bedtime goodies, I suppose, based on the look on Chalo’s face. I guess even the possibility of sex is enough to keep him quiet.

I guess Monica’s problem was that she wanted to hire a celebrity chef or something (and Ernesto isn’t?) but they appear to work out some sort of agreement. I didn’t catch a lot of the dialogue here, somebody chime in if I read that scene wrong. And yes, I’m cheating, I’m not waiting until commercials to type, I thought I might forget something.

Maruja is very listless at work, Rosy wants to know what’s going on.

Monica says Ern’s food looks great, but what if it tastes like crap? He says that won’t be the case. Monica gets a phone call and leaves, Business Partner confesses that she is his daughter and has always been bitchy. He says it more nicely, but that’s what he said.

Barbara comes to meet Sara at the company, Sara wants money. Barbara hems and haws, so Sara calls Arturo’s secretary (he’s Jaime’s assistant and also has a secretary? Is there really that much to do?) but Barbara says fine fine I’ll pay and Sara says in the phone never mind, I’ll find him later. Hortensia arrives and wants to see Sara. When she goes into her office, Barbara asks Sara how much money she wants.

Monica follows Ernesto outside after the meeting and basically wants to be in charge of hiring the help. He tells her butt out, you handle your business and I’ll handle mine. She says is this war? He tells her however she wants it. She vows to make it hell for him.

Barbara tells Arturo that Sara knows, he tells her to just pay the money. Barbara says so easy, since you always take and never give. He says he’s going to pay her back with interest. She says they should cool it for a while, he agrees quickly. I guess he really is tired of her. His wife is so much hotter and nicer anyway, jeez. Barbara sneaks a kiss that Arturo doesn’t look too excited about and she leaves. He is happy about this turn of events. I guess there isn’t any risk of the affair being outed and now he doesn’t have to be with Barbara. Wow she says no sex one time because her son is in a coma and he dumps her just like that. He really is as shallow as we thought.

Sara tells Chalo by phone that all is ready for his trip. She hangs up and Alonso brings her an ice cream and she flirts with him as they walk on their non-date date or whatever the hell it is.

Ernesto tells Lorena that her muffins (ok really I’m not making innuendos at Lorena on purpose today it just happens) were the best ever. They chat and he wants a dozen more. She says for his girlfriends? He says no all for him, but she doesn’t believe him. He says fine, for my girlfriends then. Ha ha ha flirt flirt oh you crazy kids.

Lorena’s school friend says that Lorena is about to join the harem. If he bought those muffins just for himself, he’d be fat! Lorena hopes the harem all get fat from the muffins.

All right – right away seeing Alonso rowing a boat I want to call him retarded but I’m afraid that there is some Mexican rowing style that I’m just not aware of. He is sitting in the butt end of the boat, the flat end, and rowing back that way. You can even see that the oars are anchored to be used in other seat facing the other way. Nobody associated with this show noticed that he was trying to push a rope? Or are we supposed to be impressed by his strength, where he can row a boat without the aid of aerodynamics? I have rowed boats before and it’s hard enough when doing it the right way, bow first. Maybe Sylvia has some insight here. Is rowing stern first some sort of Mexican mating ritual? I’m going to say that Alonso is just dumb. Anyway, ha ha ha flirt flirt with these two too. When they get out of the boat, it’s rocking (don’t come a knocking!) and of course Sara falls against him as they step on to land, then they start making out. Alonso manages to look completely confused even while they are kissing. Dude, did you not get all the boob signals back at the restaurant?

Tomorrow – Toribio yells at Alonso about something. He was all agitated and I couldn’t understand what he said. Unfortunately there aren’t any captions on the previews!
