Caray, Caray!

Santi tells Marissa that he can't marry her because he was with Paulina last night...in the bed. He'll understand if Marissa wants to break it off with him. Heh, nice try but it'll take more than a little infidelity to get rid of Marissa. She puts his hand on her big tummy, the best weapon in her arsenal, and tells him she'll help him bury his love for Pau.

Candy tells Meño that after all these years when she saw Pat and Alicia together she couldn't tell them what she felt and she doesn't know how she feels about Patricio.

A huge bouquet is delivered to Marissa, "With love, Santiago". She dashes it to the floor; does he think flowers will make up for his deceit? Raul shows up and she cries about Santi doing it with his ex. Raul tells her Santi's a womanizer, a cynic (in the sense that he's self-centered), and he'll never change. Raul disses Santi and Marissa defends him, he's trying to change, he was truthful. "Yes he loves me" she insists in the way that people do when they want to believe a lie.

Patricio's assistant bursts into Pat's office to tell him there is trouble at the warehouse. Pat guiltily covers his laptop but then jumps up and just leaves it on his desk. If I were the assistant I would be right over there looking for that porno. As we might have suspected, Alicia is ripping up pictures of the Aztec Princess with Caucasian Features. Pato yells at her that she's crazy. Ya think? He calls Don Elias to order more pictures and stalks out leaving Alicia alone in the warehouse to destroy more art. Not particularly bright, our Patricio.

Another flower delivery, this time for Chayo. They are delivered while Lalo is on the phone planning a night of delight and cheating with his amante. The flowers put a damper on his ardour however, and he reads the card, "Rosario, when I met you my life took on new meaning". The delivery boy beats a hasty retreat but out in the hall a laughing Candy tips him for a job well done. Lalo took the bait, mission accomplished.

Inside the apartment Lalo calls his amante to tell her he can't make it, there's been an emergency. Now who could have sent those damn flowers?

Candy is incredulous when Marissa tells her Santi boinked his ex and she forgave him. Mari tells her that Santi needs help and she won't let that woman impede her wedding. Candy suggests she go to therapy.

Patricio's dad arrives for a surprise visit. He's come alone and Pat's mom doesn't know. He wants to give Patricio a key to a safe deposit box. Pat must guard it jealously because the box contains documents that will shame dad and hurt mom. Pat must open the box if anything happens to dad. "You will find the documents, but also you will find an envelope with precise indications of what to do." I suppose this means Arturo will die soon. Hurry up.

Candy is at Santi's office reading him the riot act for bedding his ex, she says he needs therapy because he's a sexopath. He tells her he wants to show her something he wrote when he was 15. She agrees to go with the sexopath. Who needs therapy?

Commercial for Mañana es Para Siempre, el gran estreno Lunes 23!

Santi wants to show Candy a tree. He carved his initial into it when he arrived in Guadalajara and he swore he would carve the initial of the love of his life there too. He's certain that initial is a "C". He proceeds to dig up a wooden box (El Cofre?! Sorry that's from another TN) that he buried there for the tree to guard in case he lost his way. In the box is a saying, "For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also", it's something that Jesus said. (One of my favorite biblical quotes by the way.) He tells her he lost his direction and he believes that Candy can help him find his heart. He moves in for the kiss.

Over at the big house mommy dearest Pau insults Rocio's clothes. Who bought the horrid things? Granny? Well she has bad taste. Granny overhears and walks downstairs for the smackdown. Rocio is excused and the battle begins. Pau insists she's there for her daughter. Isabel says don't bother thanking me for all I did for Rocio, I did it for love and what you did was very bad. Pau shrieks she's Rocio's mom whether Isa likes it or not! Oh really, asks Isa, what's Rocio's favorite song? Does Pau know which doll she likes the best? What's her doggie's name? To give birth is easy, to be a mother is another thing entirely. Pau is speechless. Well played Grandma!

Surprise, Candy pushes Santi away. He's engaged to Marissa, he slept with his ex, he's all messed up. She admits she feels things when she's with Santi but she also feels things for Patricio who is her husband and the father of her child. Santi tells Candy he doesn't want to lie anymore. He'll be a good father to Marissa's baby but he loves Candy, he wants to marry Candy. "It's too late Santiago." she sadly replies. He looks like his heart is breaking.

Alicia's in a royal snit. She recalls Pat saying he'll leave her if she rips up any more pictures. She rips another picture. She recalls when Santi was hiding Candy at the soccer field. She has an idea and jumps in her car with the remaining picture. She symbolically runs over the torn Aztec Princess as she drives away.

Beto and Chava try to work out how they can be brothers if they have one father but two different mothers. They soon tire of these details and get back to playing.

Isabel finds Rocio in her room throwing all her "ugly" clothes and shoes in a pile.

Patricio stares at the key to his father's shame.

Hortensia tells Santi that Pat's wife is in the waiting room. Santi tells her she must NOT let Alicia in, tell her he's busy all day, tell her...Alicia interrupts and Santi loudly scolds Hortensia for keeping Alicia waiting. Al tells him she's come because she feels Santi can help her. She's very observant and she's observed that there is something between him and Candy, no? Santi insists they're just friends. "What a load of bull" says Al. She tells him she's fighting for her marriage and that Santi should fight for Candy, they'll be allies, OK? No, insists Santi. "Well then you won't mind that Patricio is selling her picture all over the place. It's the most perfect way for him to show his love for her. Have a nice day!"

Candy is surprised by a visit from her father in law the odious Arturo. He heard she was alive but he couldn't believe it. He starts insulting her but they are interrupted by Chava and Gregoria. Greg the blabbermouth blurts out "he's your grandson!" Arturo answers he doesn't have time to meet a new grandson, he's come to tell Candy what he thinks of her. Gregoria stops him and the adults glare at each other in impacted silence.

Post commercial Arturo's still at the door and Candy's not backing down. She reminds him that his alcoholism and mistreatment ruined his son, she didn't. He tells her there is no cure for the past, but she can help the future by staying away from Pat, blah blah blah. He's old and needs for Pat to return to the DF to take over the business. She'd better steer clear of Pat or else! Bonus points for Candy for standing up to that creep.

After he leaves Candy's first thoughts are of Chava. Gregoria said he asked why his grandpa doesn't love him and Greg didn't know what to say. Candy hugs Chava and tells him that Arturo is mad at Candy, not Chava. Chava brings up the one dad two moms subject and Candy explains that he and Beto are half brothers. Chava is curious which half of him is Beto's brother.

Arturo glares at Candy's picture and recalls her words that his humiliations ruined Pat's life. He repeats there's no cure for the past and flashes back to a suitcase full of money. In the flashback he tells Candy's dad Clemente to deliver it but this time he's coming along. He wants Clemente to tell that piece of trash that this is the last payment, if he continues blackmailing Arturo he'll kill him. Patricio interrupts these disagreeable thoughts.

Bulldog-face Marissa visits Raul for another whine session. He recommends she cancel the wedding. She recommends he impregnate Candy.

Arturo tells Patricio what really happened to Candy's dad. They went to deliver the blackmail money and when Clemente handed the suitcase off the two thugs pulled their guns. Clemente had a heart attack and died. Arturo didn't want to call anyone because he was afraid. Aha! So Candy didn't kill her dad, Arturo did! Last night Art had a bad pain in his chest and he was afraid again. Now he regrets many things, including being a complete jerk to Pat's mom.

Models? Us?? Sven and Ole are impactados at Candy's plan. Sven's shirt looks like he was the victim of a blueberry-eating albatross. Sven says No! Ole says Yes because he can never say No to Candy. Sven waxes eloquent that he is already pure romantic Galician, the result of years invested in girl-watching. His monologue about his absolute perfectness is interrupted by a phone call.

Who needs therapy? It's Alicia and she's playing Chopin's Funeral March for Candy. "This is the music you're going to hear on the day of my funeral, little sister, unless you leave Patricio in peace." Oops, Pat walks in and hears Al's little performance. "Are you crazy or what?" She jumps up and says sure she's crazy, but so is he for loving a woman who left him, lied to him, betrayed him. She tells him he doesn't know what she's capable of if he leaves her. They glare at each other.

Candy complains to her family that she's unable to find a model for her class. Chava volunteers but he's too young. Gregoria volunteers and says she used to be a model in Zapopan. After much snickering at the table Candy says it needs to be a young businessman, when she needs a woman she'll call Gregoria. Greg snips that when Candy needs a woman she can call Meño. Ha ha that was so funny I forgot to laugh.

Pat yells at Soledad's door but she refuses to open the bars to let him in. This is her house not his and he can't come over whenever he wants. They need to come to an agreement about arranging a visitation schedule.

Over at the Institute Santi wants to talk to Candy about her crazy sister. They walk in on Marissa talking to her big belly and recording herself. Do they want to say anything to her child? Santi balks but Candy nods that he should do it. He tells his baby through the recorder that he loves it and will care for it always.

Candy blabs some crap about the more a woman loves her partner the more she loves her baby and vice versa. Santi points out that sometimes partners divorce but they still profoundly love their child. Candy agrees and says this only proves she knows nothing about love. She tries to leave but Marissa forces her to talk to the baby.

Candy stares at Santi and tells the baby that it's very lucky because its mom and dad love it very much. She leaves the room in tears, Marissa is happy, Santiago is unenthused and trapped.

Pat acts all pathetic and hurt, is Soledad crazy? Sole says she was, she was stupid because she thought Pat was fighting with his wife and Candy was out. "I never fooled you" he insists. "You were alone, I was alone, I was clear with you and I never made promises, I'm very fond of you." She tells him just like he's fond of all women. He insists it's different with Candy, it was always different with Candy and he doesn't want to lose her again. He adores his son and needs him. Beto runs up and Soledad tells Beto his father has to leave; father and son sadly say goodbye. I don't believe in using children to make a point but I think it's a good idea for Soledad to set up guidelines. Too bad she probably won't follow them.

Candy staggers into the conference room and cries on Ceci's shoulder. Ceci kisses Candy's head and Candy jumps up like she's been electrocuted. She glares at Ceci with eyes that accuse.

Mañana: Santi is excited to see the ultrasound of his baby and he's sure it's a son.
