Caray, Caray!

In her bed, Marichuy questions if love with Leo is possible.

After her strange run in with Blanca, Viviana searches the house for Juan Miguel. Only to be told by Balbina that he’s left for the evening. Viviana fills her mom in on what happened downstairs with Blanca.

Blanca has fled to her room. She rummaging through her suitcase of clothes and when she encounters a pink dress the voice inside her head tells her that she will avenge her sister.

The next we see Blanca, she’s in her Yvette get-up and in the bar with Juanmi. He questions why she’s not married and her reply is that she doesn’t want to be tied to one man, to be his slave (esclavo/a). JM tells her that she’s impulsive and he’d love to know more about her life. Yvette averts this avenue of conversation by saying let’s discuss more pleasant things. JM is tenacious and speculates that there must have been some man she loved, who was he, what’s his name? Yvette doesn’t answer the last question, but tells JM he’s right, there was a man and she destroyed him. It was a love/hate relationship and she left him in ruins, with her venom in his veins, unable to move onto another. JM asks if that’s what she wants to do to him. Although she doesn't admit that to Juanmi, Yvette thinks to herself that JM will be her next victim and she’ll destroy him too.

Viviana tells Rocío that JM is out with another woman.

Leo is combing his horse, but thinking of Yvette. He’s wondering if she’s got her sights set on a new victim.

Mayita goes to her magical space and we get a PSA on the danger of too much sugar and the risks of developing diabetes. Her Abuelita encourages her to make healthy snack choices, perhaps a good piece of fruit rather than chocolate (that's all fine and good for now, but when she's older and has PMS, there is no way a piece of fruit will substitute for chocolate!).

The next morning, Rocío asks JM about what Viv said. He tells her that there is only one woman he’ll ever love, and it’s Marichuy.

Mayita goes into Blanca’s room and finds a pair of earrings (aretes) on her dresser (tocador). She hastily asks to try them on and rushes out of the room to go show her father. Blanca worries into the mirror that JM will recognize them.

Before Mayita finds JM, she runs into Onelia. Mayita fills her in on Blanca lending her the earrings (prestar), and Onelia determines that these outlandish (estrafalario) earrings are inappropriate for a governess (institutriz).

Leo is in the garden thinking of Marichuy/Lirio. MC is in the hammock (hamaca) thinking of the conversation she had with Cande about having Leo be her baby’s daddy. Juanmi is at home, thinking of the last time he saw MC and how he told her to go away. He says aloud that MC is the only woman he’ll love.

Onelia asks Mayita if she took the earring without permission and Mayita starts to explain when Blanca comes down the stairs. Onelia questions her about the earrings and Blanca says that they were for a costume party a while back. Onelia says they look expensive to be a trinket (baratija) and Blanca ignores what Onelia is insinuating. Instead, she just gets the earrings back from Mayita and heads back up the stairs. Onelia tells the girl that it appears, by Blanca’s reaction, that Mayita did not get permission. Mayita yells at her grandmother, insisting that Blanca let her borrow them and Onelia scolds (regañar) her for raising her voice (levantar la voz). Mayita says that’s because Onelia thinks she’s lying and she’s not. Mayita runs off.

Cosme tells Marichuy how Leo worried about her while he was away. Cosme gives MC a bag full of duck feathers (plumas de pato) and tells her that Leo wants to use them to make a little pillow (almohadita) for the baby (OK, this should also be a place for a PSA, baby’s don’t need pillows, in fact they are dangerous for them). Marichuy, instead of telling Cosme how dangerous a pillow can be for a baby, is moved by the idea.

Nelson tells Vicente about Elsa leaving him and how he wants to change, but she’s divorcing him. Vicente says they are a pitiful lot, the two of them. Nelson says at least you have Rocío and she can help you. Vicente throws a pity party and invites Nelson to attend….Rocío has returned to be the same woman as before, but he’s not the same, he’s stuck in the wheelchair, useless (inutil). He goes on about how he’s afraid that she’ll fall for another man and leave him.

Rocío has lunch with Dr. Humberto. He politely asks about Vicente and hopes that he didn’t cause problems between them. He then reminds Rocío that she promised to eat dinner with him once her surgeries were all completed, since that is the case, he's hoping she'll keep her word. She says she’ll fulfill her promise.

Marichuy runs (that’s gotta hurt) to Leo and tells him that she wanted to see him to thank him for the pillow. They have a discussion about the pillow and then it turns to his image. MC says that he appears to have a hard exterior but he’s really a marshmallow inside. He’s got a tenderness (ternura) about him. Leo says that’s not what people think and then he and MC discuss his image a little more. He tells her that people say he’s a womanizer (mujeriego). She asks why, but then says she can understand how he can melt the hearts of many women. He thinks to himself, he’d rather melt the heart of one.

Beatriz visits Ed. They discuss how Elsa’s divorce will be finalized soon. Bea says then Ed and Elsa can marry. The look on Ed’s face indicates he’s not too hip on that plan. Bea extols the virtues of Elsa, how she’s deserving of Ed. Ed reminds her that Elsa left him for another man, but she came back to you Bea adds.

Leo gives MC a speech on the lessons we can learn from leopards. It starts to rain and they head inside before they get wet (mojar).

Rocío accepts Humberto’s invite to go out that evening.

Viv sets out a dress, that Onelia describes as stunning (despampanante). Onelia questions where she’s going and Viv tells her mom that she’s determined to find out about JM’s woman.

Blanca isn’t feeling well and JM suggests she may have the flu (gripe). She mentions that her glands (ganglio) are swollen and JM gives her a professional once over--feeling her neck for the swollen glands. Viv catches them in the act and accuses them of inappropriate behavior. She lets into Blanca , calling her meddling (entrometida) and this upsets Blanca, who runs off. JM tells Viv that her behavior only makes him want to get away from her.

Blanca cries and the voice in her head says that they’ll pay.

Padre Anselmo comes to visit Marichuy.

Viv arranges for a taxi to take her to follow JM when he leaves for the evening.

JM and Yvette dine out on the terrace of a restaurant and Viv shows up. She tells JM to introduce her to his lady friend. JM asks her what she’s doing there.

Humberto picks up Rocío and Onelia is happy to see her going out with someone who’s not riff raff.

Mayita is back in the magic place and she tells her Abuelita all about the earring incident. Abuelita warns her not to enter Blanca’s room or to take her things. She tells the girl that Blanca is dangerous.

Viv takes a seat and again demands an introduction. Yvette says it is a pleasure to meet her. Viv tells her to leave her husband alone. The women verbally spar---Yvette remains calm and Viv gets worked up. Yvette tells her that she did not remove Viv’s husband from the house, it seems Viv is quite capable of causing JM to flee, all on her own. Viv lunges at Yvette and instead of getting a hold of her rival, Yvette gets in a good slap. A cat fight ensues and JM leaps over the table to break it up. Yvette tells Viv that there is no dignity in following your husband around and then she leaves.

Vicente calls the house looking for Rocío. Onelia, who answers, delights in telling him that Rocío’s gone out for the evening with the doctor.

JM and Viv ride home together and argue.

Vicente cries.

Humberto tells Rocío that she shouldn’t worry about Vicente, since he’s the one who was driving recklessly and caused Rocío so much pain. Rocío says she loves Vicente and won’t leave him for anything.

Marichuy tells Padre Anselmo how Leo is teaching her to speak properly.

JM and Viv argue as they come into the house. Mayita (eating a torte---obviously forgetting the diabetes lesson she got earlier in the episode) is upset to hear them argue.

Leo, once alone with Padre Anselmo, asks him for the name of Marichuy’s baby daddy.

Juanmi calms Mayita down and sends her off to bed. He then herds Viv into the study and tells her he wants a divorce. She refuses and he tells her it is really the best thing. She doesn’t see it that way. Well sleep on it (consultarlo con la almohada) he advises. He heads off to bed and Viv thinks that there is no way he’s getting rid of her that easy—death would be the only thing to separate them. END OF EPISODE
