Caray, Caray!

Cande opens up to Juan Miguel’s pounding on the door. With Marichuy hiding upstairs, Cande denies that she’s seen her and insists that she has no idea where she may be. She thought she’d be together with JM. Juanmi says they were together, but Mari took off and he thought Cande’s would be the place she’d go. So he asks again if Cande’s sure she hasn’t seen Mari. Cande, says nope, she hasn’t and asks him if there is any chance that MC could be at his house? He’s sure she’s not there and with that answer, Cande asks another question-what happened? Juanmi says that Mari disappeared. Well, there has to be a reason, what did you do? –Cande asks. Why do you ask if I did something-JM wants to know. Cande replies that if a new bride leaves her husband after one day, something had to have happened. JM says that they argued and MC hopped a bus back to DF. He decides that perhaps the bus was delayed and asks Cande to give him a call on his cell when MC shows up there. He hands Cande his card with his number and makes his leave. As he’s walking out, Purita arrives with something from her mother for Cande.

Onelia tells Estefania that JM returned to the DF without Marichuy. Stef is happy to hear this and pumps Onelia for some more information about what kind of connection that JM and MC could have had in the past. Onelia says that they have only known each other for a short period of time, as far as she knows. Onelia questions Stef as to why she would think otherwise. Stef blows her off, saying it was nothing. Stef just thinks it is strange that they can have developed such a love in so short of time (hasn’t she ever watched a novela, according to these people fall in love in record speed….of course, why do I ask, she would be too high class to watch novelas). The conversation switches to Viviana and Onelia mentions that she has been receiving strange phone calls with the person not on the other end talking.

Purita asks what’s been going on at Cande’s. Cande replies- “Men! Always shameless pigs!! Liars the lot of them.” She encourages Purita to remember that and then hollers up to MC that he’s gone, so she can come out now. MC comes down and she’s crying. Purita tries to comfort her. Cande tries to get her to eat. Purita says that she’s sure MC and JM will get everything worked out. The camera pans down to the diamond solitaire and wedding band that MC tossed (notice how neatly they landed near each other when they were emotionally hurled from upstairs on the previous episode--amazing, I know).

The next day we see Purita talking to Adrian, but don’t hear what she’s saying. It is safe to assume she’s telling him the gossip about Mari being at Cande's and having problems with JM. Which is confirmed in the next scene when Adrian goes to Cande’s house and he demands to know if it is true that MC isn’t going back to that man. MC nods and Adrian indicates that he’s glad she agrees. MC asks if Adrian knows who JM really is and he indicates he does. MC is upset that Adrian didn’t tell her that JM is the man who caused her nightmares and that Adrian knowingly let her marry JM. Adrian’s lame excuse is that she seemed happy. Changing the subject, Adrian adds that since they were married such a short time, MC and JM can get the marriage annulled. Good thing there wasn’t enough time for you to do the deed, Adrian adds. MC looks uncomfortable, but doesn’t tell him that JM rocked her world.

Rocio freaks out at the hospital and stumbles into the bathroom and unwraps her bandages on her face. She starts to scream about the horror of her face (it doesn’t look too terrible---just some serious road rash and it will heal…she’s got a couple of lines stitched across her cheeks, they might look nasty for awhile, but in all honesty, this isn't as bad as it could be). Rocio continues to freak about how horribly disfigured she is and Vicente hears her screaming, not realizing it is her, and asks his mom to go be with Rocio so she won’t be upset by the yelling patient. Meanwhile, Elsa and Beatriz come to visit Rocio and they are shocked to see her face….Really people it isn’t that bad. She’s still got all the pieces of her face, they are just scraped up a bit----sheesh, it could be much, much worse.

Viviana calls JM’s office, pretending to be a patient of his in order to pry some info out of his staff. From Israel, she learns JM's out of town because he got married and finds out that Marichuy is the woman he married. She bursts out laughing, realizing that MC is the laundress girl. Israel doesn’t understand why this is so funny. Viv excuses herself and giving him a fake name says she’ll not leave a message, she’ll just call back later. Israel discusses this call with a co-worker and she says that she’d expect such a reaction from someone like Stef, who must hate MC for marrying JM. Israel looks pained at hearing Stef’s name and that she would be jealous of Marichuy.

Mari goes to visit Padre Anselmo and tells him all about how she learned that JM is the man from her nightmares. She asks PA how Juan could have made love to her, knowing all the time the truth and deceiving her. Just then, JM walks into PA’s office. He says –"Finally I found you Marichuy." She asks him why he’s been looking for her (stupid question, but she's entitled I guess). He asks why she ran away (stupid questions; MC:1, JM:1). She retorts- "So, I should have stuck around for you to hurt me some more?" JM insists that they have to talk. Mari rants to Padre Anselmo that JM’s a liar, she'd love to spit in his face, but that PA should kick him out. JM appeals to MC to forgive him and that she needs to stop acting like a child and face the situation they are in. PA advises JM to take a look at his own behavior before scolding MC. JM asks again for MC to listen. She says why, so you can hurt me some more. She tells him as far as she's concerned, she never needs to see him again. JM says he won’t give up on her and she replies that's fine, she’ll give up on him. JM begs PA to intercede and PA says he can’t. JM pleads and reminds PA that he said God would forgive him. PA reminds JM that he broke his word to God and that causes him to lose the forgiveness (a truly penitent person does not repeat the sin, to repeat the sin is an insult to God---according to my childhood priest---when you think about what a child says in confession---I didn't listen to my parents, I fought with my brothers---well recidivism's gotta run pretty high, therefore repeated insults to the Heavenly Father, pretty heavy burden to lay on a child, but I digress).

Onelia and Maya have a discussion about Maya’s conversation with JM. Maya tells Onelia that her dad said that MC will not be living with them any time soon. This seems to make them both happy. I think little Mayita needs to go to her secret place and have a little visit with Abuelita Mariana.

Rocio screams to the nurse that she doesn’t want anyone to see her this way. Vicente’s mom gets to the room and starts to comfort Rocio and the nurse runs out to get the doctor. Elsa and Beatriz stand helpless in the background.

Juanmi tries to explain his situation once again to PA. He wanted to allow MC to experience the sweetness and kindness of love before exposing her to their painful past. PA says that was an error. MC demands to know why JM thought it was OK to lie to her by hiding the truth. He tries to explain. She says she’ll never forgive him, so don’t bother to come looking for me again. She leaves, slamming the door behind her. PA lectures JM on taking advantage of MC’s innocence and going back on his word to God---he’d promised not to touch her until he’d revealed the truth. JM tries once again to tell his side of the story. PA is angry, so he’s not in the mood to listen and he advises JM to forget about Mari, there’s nothing more he can do.

Stef and Isa lounge by the pool. Stef fills her in on what she knows about JM and MC. Isa speculates that perhaps the nightmares are the connection between JM and MC’s past. She even suggests that JM and MC were lovers for awhile, even when Viv was alive. Stef isn’t so sure. Stef tells Isa that she’s stepped up her plan to snag Ed and perhaps she’ll get some more info out of him--that way she can hurt/ humilate JM. Isa leaves as Cece approaches. Cece suggests that Stef go visit Rocio. Stef doesn’t agree and Cece says she can’t blame Rocio for what happened with Juanmi. Stef says that Rocio could have supported her, but didn’t. Now Stef’s lost a good looking rich doctor as a prospective husband. Cece is disturbed to hear her “daughter” focus on JM’s money. She pries, hoping that Stef will admit that love, not money, was her motive in wanting to marry JM. Stef says that Cece married into money, therefore she should understand. Cece says she fell in love with Pat not knowing he came from money. What luck, mutters Stef and then she adds that she’s just trying to get back what she was deprived of when Cece “abandoned” her. Trying to tone down her bitchiness, Stef says that she’s not being critical of Cece (oh but yes you are, and considering Cece had nothing to do with your lot in life, you are just being the biznitch you truly are, there I go again another digression) but there is no denying she went without and now she just wants what she didn’t have. No denying it, Stef is offering up some good emotional blackmail, making Cece suffer. The cell phone rings and indicating this conversation is over, Stef answers her cell. It is Onelia, calling to give Stef the latest. Stef is overjoyed to hear of the problems between JM and MC. She knows there has got to be more to the story and she’s determined to find out what it is. Cece’s face shows repulsion at Stef’s comments and behavior.

JM visits Rocio and she cries that it would have been better to have died. She begs him to not let Vicente see her like this. JM says it will all be OK and he’s going to consult the plastic surgeon.

Adrian brings flowers and a lollipop to Mari. Purita is visiting and she looks mildly jealous at his behavior toward MC. Adrian once again encourages MC to get an annulment but MC ends up spilling the details about her romance with JM, including the fact that they made love. Adrian looks upset at this news (now Marichuy is tainted goods).

Stef tells Isa her conversation with Onelia and then decides she’s got to go see Rocio. She might run into JM at the hospital. When she gets to Rocio’s room, she catches sight of her face and she can’t disguise her utter horror. This makes Rocio cry all over again. JM comes back from visiting the surgeon and Stef starts to give her “well wishes” on his marriage to MC. JM can tell it isn't sincere and tells her he doesn’t want to talk about it . Then he leaves the room. Stef apologizes to Rocio about her reaction, and once again fails to sound sincere, but this could just be me---I honestly couldn't tell if Rocio sensed the insincerity of Stef's words, I can only hope she did.

JM goes to talk to Ed and he fills his best friend on what happened and what MC said at Padre Anselmo’s office. Ed says give it time and then JM should try to work things out with Marichuy. JM’s resigned himself that time won’t cure these problems. Ed encourages his friend to not give up…..JM needs to be willing to fight for Marichuy.

Stef runs into Israel outside the hospital. He ends up confessing that he believes he’s falling in love with her. She laughs and he tells her not to laugh. She basically tells him that he’s got nothing to offer her. He reminds her that he’ll be a doctor some day and therefore has a bright future. She says she’s not willing to wait 20 years to get what she wants. Consider yourself lucky Israel, she's truly a biznitch and you are so much better without her.

Adrian and MC are leaving Cande’s. Adrian wants to know if PA knows that MC and JM slept together. MC tells Adrian that PA knows. However, she's rejected any chance of reconciliation with JM, so they’ll have to see what can be done. Just then JM shows up and tells MC that they need to talk, without witnesses, and it will be the last time they talk, but they need to talk. Adrian lets into Juan and the two men have a not very impressive pissing contest. Adrian basically tells JM to get lost and JM says he won’t go unless Marichuy asks him to go. The camera flashes to her face, she looks upset, but we know most likely she’ll tell him to leave…but we won’t know until Monday as this is the END OF THE EPISODE.
