Caray, Caray!

Repeats: As the wedding looms in sleepless nights as we see Fernanda musing that Lili (se aferra) clings to (los bellos recuerdos) pleasant memories like she does.
Fernanda dwells on Liliana's words about seeing Eduardo and she splits her personality to talk to herself about what happened to Eduardo, what could have happened, she at least realizes that she and Eduardo were separated so they wouldn't continue their childhood romance. Now she tells herself that she tired of waiting for Eduardo and now she is about to marry a man who adores her. but does she love him? [Wow, does she have a pack of nasty little surprises coming]

Eduardo/ almost Franco wears chic two toned blue pajamas and says Fernanda's name as he looks at her card. relives his muddy face and her wide eyed grin. Fernanda is the only woman I have loved.

But the dry milk is being unloaded near a big, big hole while an even bigger semi approaches

Anibal and Pris, also in jammies, discuss that he is not going to have children with a traitor, that she has betrayed him by telling her family that his family is betraying them. She argues that her family was offered this milk too but they were decent and rejected the suspect milk. Her brother knew that Barbara was behind it all. What did Rolando say? She will (susurra en oido) whisper in his ear if he comes into the bed. Come.

in telenovela parallel, still in pj's, Eduardo remembers seeing the shopping Nanda and the big rock ring. He puts down the business card from Nanda and studies charts to bring himself back to the task at hand.

Speaking of the task at hand, Priscila gets some perfunctory sex out of Anibal but looks disgusted so we can assume it isn't a real dance of love. As the heartless Anibal rolls off to stare glumly at his side of the mattress, she says your (petulancia) petulance/irritability is like the (fracaso) failure/disappointment that you are, my love.

Ohhhhhhmygawd, he's in a towel and all wet. what a chest. Yes, finally we get a cleanup scene. Eduardo answers the phone and drips provocatively as he discusses with Esteve that he the paperwork set up and will now have a meeting with Anibal. Do you know him? asks Esteve. Perfectly says Adonis in white towel, uhuhuh, I mean Eduardo, in white towel. He's the older brother of Nanda. [Ed. Note: replay this scene 3 times and blog me in the morning]

Barbara is assuring Nanda, You have won the lottery with this man (Damian) who is all about hard work and responsible, and .... You are a prize too, intelligent, beautiful. [this part is harder for BOW to say, me thinks]. Nanda returns the favor but with unexpected, I've been thinking of Liliana when she was alone with me I realized she is in a (pozo sin fondo) bottomless well and it would be good for her if she was at my wedding. BOW is not smiling. Nanda urges, She should feel our love here in the family and I need my father's authorization to have her here my best wedding present for her to be here. Would you convince my papa? Barbara tries to argue but ends up promising, Oh I'll try.

The accounting report is presented to Flor at the Lacteos reception desk and she looks down at the cow hide rug on up and up to see TBLMOE with his 200 million peso smile as he arrives seeking an interview with Anibal and he is Franco Santoro, the Director of Operations of the Latin American Branch of (say it with me) "Power.....Milk...." butter wouldn't melt in his mouth. I need this break just to catch my breath, what a suit, what a shave what a hair cut. This boy dresses up or down with equal charisma, but of course the towel that might fall is the best costume. [Sorry guys, you got your turn last night at the mud fest, I will calm down shortly.]

Receptionist Flor breathlessly says there is a problem, there is no Santoro in the (agenda) schedule book, He smiles, perhaps there has been an error? She is sure she can get it fixed.

BOW tells her shill Damian that the real tragedy of this meaningless marriage is that the object is the total ruin of the family. Damian looks like this is the first time he has heard this little detail.

Anibal barks at Flor, at the desk and tells her he doesn't have time for this whoever. He is very busy so pretty boy will have to wait. Desk tells Franco he urges you to wait, actually she urges him to wait. He flashes the famous smile and says there is no hurry.

Barbara barks orders at Obregon about following her orders exactly as she is the one in charge.

Lili and Ciro talk about Eduardo being back as they play (ajedrez) chess. Ciro asks, was Eduardo important? She says he was accused of doing something he didn't do just like I was. Do you mean, that he could get you out of here. Could get you revenge? When the nurse appears to take Lili back to her room, they speak in code, Lilli says, the peón (pawn) is a threat to the black queen, but Ciro says the pawn needs to reinforce itself to come back at black queen.

Doctor is being threatened by BOW Barbara, he couldn't listen at teh door and says I don't care what method you use but I want to know what Lili said to her sister. As of today, I order you to double her medicine.

Ciro looks in "the box", hides it again in his room behind some books, then takes a white pawn from the board, takes it down the hall and hides it in Lili's hand. You have to move like the pawn, one step at a time. The drugged Lili, shrugs with eyes closed but clutches the pawn .

Franco looks with hatred at Gonzalo's portrait. He thinks back to overhearing Soledad ask Gonzo why Eduardo has to be sent away. Gonzolo tells the unbelieving Soledad because the the children are growing, there will be trouble. He is grateful that Soledad has been a veritable mother for them, Yeah sneers, Franco, really grateful. Flor interrupts his thoughts with coffee and says not much has changed in 10 years. He jumps but she says Gonzo hasn't changed much since that was painted then. He rejects the coffee while she says your face, your face is so familiar.

Nanda, plans where the banquet and the dance floor will be placed near the pond with the wedding planner. I have a few details in the sanctuary, Have you talked to the Bishop, will he attend? Sure. [Nice to have enough money to get a bishop for the ceremony]

Flor says your face reminds me of someone, have you been practicing (equitacion) riding/horsemanship with Camilo. , you must be a friend of his. Franco smirks, amigo of Camilo Elizarde, yeah that must have been me.

Cleopatra is the beautiful (yegua) mare that Jacinto shows to Erika, which Camilo ordered special for the wedding as a gentle ride for his date, he adds, it must be for her. She leaves happy, oh so happy at this little surprise Camilo must have planned for her. Jacinto's wifey Margarita appears and is not at all happy, sneers that at least he is working and not at the mud bar. He tries to placate her, did you dress up so pretty to come see me? No! she's on her way to say goodbye to her students.

Anibal yells at Flor to get through to Damian Gallardo immediately as he sees the financial charts, and to Obregon he says he needs solutions. Flor calls Gallardo to have him show up when he gets this message. Franco asks if there are problems.... She says the whole place is all a twitter about wedding plans for Nanda and goes for water. Ed/Franco says she has forgotten about me. Somewhere here we see Damian relaxing on a massage table as the hardworking executive.

Jacinto tries to stop stupid wife again, saying the children will be so disappointed, she insists that Nanda must be told about Damian and Barbara's roll in the hay before things go further and she wants to get away from here as far as she can, she marches off resolute in her stupidity to make the wrong right. Jacinto gasps in exasperation.

Erika in the beauty shop and they try to put a tint on her hair that will make it more luminous. Tinte Fermodil, brandname dropping. Okay the very cute hair stylists convince her to take the tint. She yaps happily and a bit wistfully about the stress of so much detail in planning a wedding.

Flor is chatting Ed up about how the youngest daughter, Nanda runs Human Resources and has time to take on the artesan cheese guys, when BOW suddenly appears saying who is this. The icy stare down is a foot as we go to break.

Barbara stares with her evil eyes at Ed, she snaps her fingers almost in his face and says to Flor, bring me my (agenda) appointment book

Erika and Nanda discuss how thoughtful Damian is to cut the honeymoon short so she can attend the artisans' cheese fair. She babbles and all I can remember is that she says, don't take sweets from strangers. More interesting she tells Erika she has never told Damian the sad story of Eduardo

Barbara is questioning Flor about who is this guy. Anibal has kept him waiting since he is so busy. Out of the elevator from his breakfast meeting comes Gonzo. Power Milk Franco greets him and reaffirms who he is. I was trying to see your son Anibal. Damian shows up muttering that Anibal is an (energúmeno) madman. He raises his cell phone half way in the air as if to tease us because we know what he would like to do with his cell phone (can't tell but surely he has moved up to either a blackberry or an iphone.)

Erika and Nanda continue girlie bonding, she doesn't think he will ever see Ed again.

Anibal is aghast at the zero financial balances when Damian says, you haven't talked to Barbara? Anibal screams what does my MIL have to do with this .

Damian tries to calm Aniba l while in her office, BOW thinks the end is near.

Ed/Franco is wowing Gonzo with his intimate knowledge of the wonder history of Gonzo and his impressive empressa. Gonzo falls for it and wants to get Power Milk is in Brazil and Argentina ... but not in Mexico. Ed/Franco says not until now. Anibal is yelling that the accounts are all zeroed out. they are ruined! Ed smiles outside the door. This family must amuse the other staff.

Anibal asks why Damian decided to play (inversionista) investor you have ruined us. Damian your stupidity has ruined us. Ed listens with amusement. Gonzo is telling BOW how impressed he is with Ed's astounding knowledge of the company and is excited that PowerMilk is at his door, he knows as much as we do. Barbara sulkily asks, but what does he want? Gonzo doesn't have much to be excited about these days and now someone is making him feel important. I want you in the meeting with Anibal. Flor interrupts to tell BOW that Anibal urgently needs her. They are broke, How did this happen? Why wasn't I consulted ahead of time? Anibal shrugs, but Barbara steps in, our broker in Chicago offered an irresistible portfolio of investment opportunities that we had to hurry to buy.

Papa then tells of the executive from PowerMilk just outside and they all hustle to meet with him, BOW resists but Gonzo has his mind made up Anibal says executive? of PowerMilk? I thought he was just a simple salesman.

Nanda get yet another message about wedding details. But says it just like what the mysterious (galan) handsome gentleman told me on the shopping mall. She thinks back at the Hombre de Misterio (sorry H de M, your name has been borrowed for the moment) She continues with the chatter, chatter about seeing him, trying to find out his name, trying to introduce him to Damian and then he mysteriously disappeared again. Erika teases her that she better get married quick. Why is she so interested in this galan?

The happy family meet Franco, BOW pretends she was busy with Fernanda's wedding detail so didn't notice him standing at the reception desk when he reminds her with a big smile that they just met. This woman has the best poker face to deny having noticed TBLMOE. I mean really....

Next: Liliana is about to receive an injection but this time not to sleep but to make her talk while Doc Matasanos says, What did you say to your sister?

And BOW is very busy, she has time to intimidate the Jacinto family and knows they (apodan) nickname her the hyena. She knows they plan to tell Nanda that Soledad is dead, does she also know what else they want to tell.
