Caray, Caray!

Hola Amigos! Tonight was a first for me. Somehow my Tivo got jammed up, would not record, and although I had sound I had no picture on my TV screen. I was in a panic but did the best I could with audio only on the fly. Then I compared what I had to what I could find on youtube and the following is my best effort. There are some conversations and scenes that are utterly lacking so if any of you would care to fill in the blanks I would be extremely grateful. Thank you in advance.


Pat visits Meño's house supposedly to see Chava but of course he wants to know about Candy. Meño says she's out but Pat can go ahead and kiss the boy goodnight. Meño mutters "Ay Candy Candy" and rubs his face. I guess he likes Santi but he likes Pat too and maybe he thinks Candy's jerking Pat around.

Charly's up in his room about to snort some coke but Pat catches him and good gosh darn thing. Pat gives him an ultimatum, talk to Pat now or go right down and talk to dad. Pat rubs his face and says "My God what are you doing?"

Santi and Candy are at their romantic dinner with a string quartet where she surprises him with a game of foosball. She calls for Musica Maestro and instantly scores a goal. Candy 1, Santi 0. Now he gets a goal and the game continues. I think this bit, along with the punching, is supposed to show that Candy can be more than a novia, she can be a real pal, although I don't know many pals who punch each other.

Chayo tries to console Lalo for shooting blanks and their conversation is very confusing. Well, confusing to me anyway. This is where someone else can jump in and help me out.

Candy and Santi are back at the table and she gives him a Chivas jersey for losing and because they are now novios. He pronounces it horrible and challenges her double or nothing. If she loses she has to go to a game and cheer "Aquillas!"

Paulina pretends to roam the house trying to recall her identity. Isa asks does Pau really feel bad and Pau dolefully answers yes because nobody believes her. Isa asks does Pau remember the Three Musketeers and Mario? Pau gasps "Mario" and this gets Isa's attention.

I guess Candy won because she gloats (or would that be "goats") and takes a pic of Santi in his Chivas jersey. He pretends to hate it but he says he's happy becuase they are novios. Then the quartet starts to play Pomp and Circumstance and Santi instantly shushes them. I'm not sure I get the joke, is it because Santi and Candy are about to "graduate" to the next level or is this march sometimes played at weddings? I seem to recall this being played recently at a TN wedding but I could be wrong.

Lalo tries to tickle Chayo into making love but she tells him she has a headache and has no desire to boink. Whatever, Lalo flips over and Chayo talks about adoption, then she tries to tickle him. He says no no no no he's got a headache too but Chayo is more insistent than he is and he's a guy and...

Back at the restaurant Santi decides to count the many ways they love each other and sings "Love is a splendored thing"; heh, he missed the "many" in there but hey, if that babe were singing to me I really wouldn't care what words flew out of his lips. Candy blabs a bit that their mixed up households and relationships might be a bad example to the kids but about one second later they kiss...boy howdy do they kiss.

An irritated Paulina recalls Isa's words that an old friend came to visit. "Mario found me," she hisses.

When Santi gets home later that night Isa asks how things went. He tells her he knows the baby was born blah blah blah. Isa notes that apart from that he seems happy. He sings that he's in love tra la but then skips out before giving her the whole story.

Pat has a man to man with Charly about drug use. "Drugs kill," says Pato,"Why Charly, why?" "Why not, I'm a dead man walking" says Charly. Pat tells him, "Life is hard, with HIV, with cancer, with whatever and I know you're mad but it's time to show who you are. Are you a mediocre?" Charly is thankful for the pep talk and for not ratting him out to his dad.

It's morning and Candy awakes in her poka dot bed recalling last night's kiss. Meanwhile Santi also recalls his hot date and wakes up, this day is NOT like every other day because he's in love and writes "CANDY" on the mirror with shaving cream.

Candy's in an obnoxiously good mood with the family. Meanwhile Santi is also in an obnoxiously good mood with his family including the terminal wet blanket Paulina who plays like she's the mom of the house and everyone in it. Santi speaks rapidly and the family is amused at the way he asks for beans. Sorry, I missed this funny conversation because my boyfriend called to ask me to record the Sharks game and I had to break the bad news to him.

Meño the Metiche, on recon for Gregoria, wants Candy to tell him all about her date with the plastic doctor. Are they novios? "Nada" he reports back to Gregorio, Candy didn't spill nuthin'.

Over at the rich house Isa says Pau needs a shrink but Santi doesn't want to talk about it. Isa says OK then what about last night? She cuts to the chase, are he and Candy novios? "Si!" laughs Santi,"but don't let the paparazzi know."

Greg has a heart to heart with Candy, she tells Candy she was never very happy with her dad because he didn't show feelings and he had sex with and supported another woman. Now she's feeling for the first time that love is not a sin. Candy says she thinks Greg is the best mom because she's talking to her daughter and the important thing is that her feelings are alive.

The kids are playing together and decide to build a spaceship. (Un nave espacial, took me a while to get that one.)

Lulu is depressed but Candy encourages her not to break her pinkie promise. She blabs a few Candy platitudes and tells Lulu she loves her. Pato interrupts with Charly and says last night he discovered a problem and he needs to talk to Candy about it. Lulu makes goo goo eyes at Pato.

Back at the big house Paulina, with extreeemely skinny arms, does the dishes. Her ruse works because Isa thinks she must have amnesia if she's helping with chores. Pau says next she'll go to the garden and rake the leaves. Tina says yep she's loca but that's fine as long as she keeps working.

Pato tells Candy about Charly doing lines and now he wants to first talk to Barbara then he will tell Meño everything. Candy thanks Pato for becoming involed for the betterment of Charly. She starts to make puppy dog eyes at him and then shakes it off. Something tells me Santi's not free and clear yet.

Santi talks to Isa about buying a ring for Candy to signify their alliance. She gives Santi her own wedding ring (presumably from her first marriage but how did she just happen to have it in her hand?) and tells some story about her dad being poor. (This is another place I could use some help. Sure would be nice to know the family story.)

Someone calls Paulina, I wonder who it is? It's Mario calling to rip on her about leaving her cell phone behind. "Leave me in Peace!" she shrieks. "Calm down Pau," he says, casually tormenting her as he drives around in his convertible. She throws her phone on the bed.

Donato helps the kids build some sort of aeronave (aircraft) with wood, a garden rake, a construction cone and other junk. Santi and Miguel show up and point out they won't be the first astronauts to set food on the moon. "But the first Mexicans yes!" they shout and Santi and Miguel contratulate the kids. Santi introduces Miguel to Jaime because Miguel wants to open a bar and Jaime can play there. Jaime can play and Zamora will sing. Hmmm...

Over at Casa Bonita Toño laughs while reading the comics about Las Aventuras de Frijolito. This reminds Zamora of his dad may he rest in peace...even though he abandoned Zamora. (Hey, I wonder how Margarita Chilaquiles is doing? I ask because Toño is reading Frijolito, the comic strip that MC frequently referred to.)

Al exercises while Marissa reclines and the cute little baby lolls on the bed. Al wants to know when Mari will return to Mexico. Mari doesn't know, it's too dangerous right now. Then she cackles and says something about a rash, either the baby has one or is giving her one. Whatever it is she said I'm sure I hate her all the more for it.

Meño sadly asks Charly is he crazy for doing drugs? Charly admits he did the lines in his bedroom. Meño is stricken, did he even think about Chava the kid?

Isa watches Donato water the garden and remembers his words about two types of love. She approaches him and says sorry but she overheard him telling Tina that he was in love with Isa. She tells him that he's confusing gratitude for love. He apologizes if he offended her, he's simply a butler. Isa corrects him, he's simply a very sensible man, didn't offend her at all and will make a woman very happy.

Meño scolds Charly some more about snorting coke up in his room. Drugs will destroy the family. Meño tells him to think of his family. He has Meño's heart in his hands. Charly says he's going to die but Meño encourages him to have hope, Charly will live many more years, maybe a cure will be discovered. More talk about dying. Charly instantly decides dad is right and he feels better. Meño tells Charly "Look me in the eyes, I love you no matter how you want to say it."

Santi surprises Candy at the institute and locks the door to her office. Ooh la la they kiss. He's such a man in love. He presents the ring in a box and puts it on her finger, saying it was his mother's.

Santi: the ring is so you’ll know I’ll never hurt you. Never. The condition: you wear it until the wedding.
Candy: Wedding?
Santi: Of course! We will marry, obviously! On the day I demonstrate that you can put your total confidence in me, we’ll get married.

Hey, I think Santiago just proposed to Candy!


Mañana: The institutas toast Candy and mimic her laughter. Pato is bummed. Marissa is devious and makes Santi mad.
