Caray, Caray!

Juan rides back to the Hacienda.

The next day Crabi goes to tell Sof that she accepts the decision of her Pa and will leave. Dohfie doesn’t take this opportunity to get rid of her evil evil Ma, instead she tells ma she’s not going anywhere and this is her house.

The adopted lady was convinced to allow Jime and Oscar to keep the spawn despite their estranged residences thanks to Paddy Tad. They fake smooch. The orphanage lady puts down conditions though, she can visit whenever she thinks it’s necessary, and while they live separately, the kids should see both parents. Oscar takes every chance he can to slime all over Jime. She smacks him when the woman turns her back. But then smooches behind the sombrero.

Feo warns Coyote to stay away from his old lady. Pretty literally. Coyote can prove that Feo tried to do her in and threatens to tell of Feo’s plans to Gab if Feo tries anything, say, like offing Gabi. Feo wants to know WTF is your interest in her. He doesn’t answer this question. Instead he tells him that the Jefe is upset with him for going to jail to tell lies about Juan Reyes and if he were Feo he’d disappear for a while until Jefe cools off. Coyote tells him to be careful.

Crabi doesn’t want the little girls to get to see the lowlife Reyes. This is an odd orphanage, it looks like if you adopt three little girls, the orphanage will throw in three nuns as part of the deal – kind of a two –fer or three-fer as it may be.

Anyway, Sofi swears the boys only love and want to take care of them. Crabbi says no way. Abue tells her she has no vote. She then feels sorry for herself and says she’s worth nothing more than a piece of furniture here so she won’t involve herself in anything. Sofi says that’s not true but she wanders off. Abue tells her that this is only the beginning, soon Feo will drop her like a rotten egg when he finds out she’s got nothing.

Oscar tells his bros of the conditions to getting to keep the kids. Quinti confirms they will always be welcome. Pablo says he’s the big brother so he has to protect them. Juan confirms, but wishes they could have given them the place to live that he and Sof had originally planned. You know, that horrible purple room. Oh well. if they are anything like their papis they will all want to sleep in one small cramped room anyway.

Sarita goes in to see Crabbi who is at it faking injuries again. More self pity for having nothing anymore and Sofi has everything. Now she’s trying to incite hatred of Sof in the other sisters by challenging why they didn’t get anything. Sara isn’t biting though, she thinks Sof will be generous and will always take care of them. Crab is not so sure...she thinks she’ll turn her back the first chance she gets.

Pad Tad is chatting with Abue who tells him that Feo and Crabbi are in on this whole child abduction thing. Tad doesn’t believe Crabbi has anything to do with this even though he believes Feo did. Aug thinks he knows more than he’s telling, but Tad chocks it up to divine rights and the secrets of confession. Aug thinks he’s nuts for not taking care of this, kind of what we’ve been saying.

Don Aug warns him to watch out for himself because Feo is dangerous and Tad knows too much. Tad tells him it’s God’s will if he dies for this. Not exactly hon, all it takes is a serpent belt buckle wearing psycho and the world is one padre less.

Anyway, Tad says au contraire you watch out for your self too Don Augi, that he could befall a lethal "accident" for going around speaking badly to the four winds (everywhere-in all directions) about Feo. He blesses Don Aug and tells him they needn’t another accident and may God always be with him. Darn, the telenovela Gods are at it again. Man, I hope they are too busy playing hopscotch in the clouds to have heard this little warning.

Feo tells Crabi goodbye, he’s going on a long trip and he’s not sure if or when he’ll be back, he thinks it depends on whether she will miss him or not. He will carry her kisses next to him. He kisses her in a creepy way and she sighs for him after he’s gone.

Next we see Feo gets a telegram.

Sofi hands over the girls to Juan and he promises to take good care of them. The boys parade the babies around and talk about heating bottles and everything in a bain marie. Quinti comes in and proclaims who ever said the kitchen is only for old women with these masculine specimens.

Sofi worries that the babes are ok. Eva reminds them that Juan raised his bros. They think boys are different. Eva says yeah but don’t forget he also raised Libia. Sofi thinks yeah all those Reyes lost because of our Papa. Eva refuses to accept that Hector could have been responsible for that. Sara says Abue thinks Mami lied. Jime wishes it was made up by Crabbi so their loves wouldn’t be in jeopardy. All I have to say is, duh.

The boys then feed the girls who are in various stages of caring about eating. Eventually they are covered in candied yam mush or something else puke yellow. Those poor babies are wailing!!! And that encourages the boys to sing. More wailing as you can imagine. Another duh.

After a long bout of this and every Reyes is sticky, the girls finally begin to fall asleep.

Until......Pablo arrives screaming after they get to sleep. That earns him a dousing in milk. Sofi comes to pick up them. They sing again this time sounding better. They are clearly practicing for their live tour, which unfortunaetely has now been cancelled in the US. What a shame. It would have been great to see these three singing!!


Dias despues. All of a sudden Sofi has friends. Liliana comes to visit her. She invites the gals to a party at her house. Sofi isn’t sure but gives in to the peer pressure.

Juan is getting congrats from the bank for how prosperous he has made the hacienda. The banker invites him to a party. I’m seeing a link here. This guy knew their parents, and reminds them that humanity was important to them.

The girls get ready with nuns and kids in tow.

The guys get ready....in-between jingling of spurs. They say they have to join society to earn respect. Oscar worries about the money that someone has to be responsible for costs. Oscar fancies himself to one day hope to be the greatest ranch holder in the region.

OK, my transmission screwed up here and they ran commercials over this part so I’m not sure exactly where the girls were, but they were saying their only choice is to ask Juan, but later because now they have to get to the party. If anyone can help here, please do.


The three boys are illustrating to Pablo and the ladies how to take care of the babies. Eva says she took care of three Elizondos so she already knows -now get out.

Abue teases Crabbi that she has lost nothing with Feo being gone. She wonders why he hates her. He doesn’t, just doesn’t like the way she lives. He tells Crabbi to stop whining about Feo, he just wanted her money and now that she doesn’t have it, he left. He knows Crabi still longs for Feo but surely wherever Feo is, he’s not thinking about Crabbi. Nope, he’s doing Raquel instead. Apparently she sent the telegram.

Crabbi is whining again this time to a lawyer about the babies not really being Sofi’s and that maybe it’s a trick and the lawyer confirms if that is true then the will is void and she will be the only heir.

All of a sudden the three Reyes show up at the party. The owner’s daughter and two of her extremely gorgeous friends are introduced to them. The boys cave to the pressure of the chests and go to enjoy tequilas, etc. with these women. Predictably, the sisters Elizondo show up just then and make funny faces.
