Caray, Caray!

Pau is threatening again to tell Rocio that she isn’t a member of this family, but Lu tells her she better not dare. Santi and Candi, arriving from their walk under the anvils wonder what Lu is talking about. Isa arrives just in time to blow it all off as Pau just making too much of a literal situation, that she’s just egging Lu on, and Roc isn’t her blood sister, but that doesn’t matter. Santi agrees and says you are more than sisters and are even twin sisters and don’t listen to Pau. Isa begs Lu to come with her. Candi notes Pau is worsening and Santi wants to throw her out but says he can’t.

Tono visits Charly and gives him mucho dinero to buy a camera for his HIV film. The money Tono saved for two years to buy a motorbike. Charly is impacted and Greg listens off in the distance. Charly says he can’t accept, but Tono insists and says he could help with the film, so Charly says fine then they are a team and they will do this together.

Babs and Candi agree they need to do something on menopause, because of what the woman came in talking about. Chayo runs in announcing Mary Boquitas. Holy sh*t. I can’t believe they have this chick on the show. She is one of the Trevi-Andrade scandal and fled with them from Mexico, accused of being involved with maintaining a ring of underaged sex-slaves. Here’s a link if you don’t know this whole story. This is another situation where real life is a telenovela. Que extrano. She tells her story that she was married at 15 for love and thought it would last, and later, forgetting to sew on a button meant beatings for her.

Fede continues with his pressure and Luc continues refusing him. He tries the old show me you trust me by proving it. Lu says oh no, my Abue taught about tests of love. Good on Abue!! He says not love, just trust. Bastard, she kisses him. Ugh I wanted to punch this guy.
If there are any youngish girls reading this, here’s my PSA…don’t fall for this BS. If a guy really loves you, he will wait, and his every conversation will not be, when can we do it. Don’t get me wrong, young boys especially, have a really strong biological impulse that is hard for them to control when they are in close kissy contact with girls, but sometimes they need us to help them with that, by seeing their weakness and not giving in to it. A guy wanting to have sex with you does not = the guy loves you. If you feel even a little weird about it, trust your instincts, they are probably right and you’ll wish you didn’t do it later. OK, I’m done for now. Can I start my own instituta? Hell, I think I just did!

Ok, Mary gets to tell more of her story, that she was prohibited from even saying hello to another man, much less with a salutary kiss, and that she kept on believing she was in love, and that he would change.

Ma and Don talk about Tina’s treatment. He also wants to know about Jaime’s son. She shushes him that the walls have ears. Don thinks she should just invite Zam’s Ma to visit and see how nice he lives. Every Ma likes to see her kid living in a decent place. Isa thinks this place isn’t so decent with THAT woman here. She tells him to get back to work.

Now it’s time to hear more about Mary, so the girls ask what a typical day was like for her. Now this part I think she isn’t acting anymore, and this is taken from her days of subjugation under Andrade, that she would have to write down on a piece of paper what time she would get up, what time she would bathe and for how long if that day it was her turn to bathe, and how long it would take her to cook a meal without having the right to taste anything she was cooking. If she received a phone call and was given permission to answer it, she had to repeat everything the person asked her or said to her and what she answered, and if in that conversation she wished the person well, and it was a man, that meant beatings for her, because she was a slut for saying so, why else would she wish a man well? She goes on to explain that if he was mad at her for not sewing on a button, or not doing the yard nice, she would be forced to eat only bread or water, or whatever his leftovers were. Here she is crying something fierce, and you notice in the editing, the next sentence she has dry eyes and her voice has lightened a bit. I think they cut the first take out here and let her recover a bit and started over again. Later you see Candi with a tear, and then it’s gone in the next instant so the continuity here is lacking quite a bit, but I think it really shows you this scene was emotionally charged in reality.

Mary continues that the beatings would get worse each time, first with the hand, then with a chain (like a necklace) then a belt, then cables, and she was naked. Sole asks her how she felt when the scandal started. She says she has never talked about the root of the scandal and the only reason she is here is because aside from wanting to get things off her chest and feel better, she wants everyone not to take this as a scandal. She lived such harshities, difficulties and rude things that she wishes on noone. She suddenly felt so alone and everything was handled with the celebrity names, that she was in jail, but she wasn’t in jail, Maria Raquenel (her birth name) was in jail. She felt free there actually because she could at least actually go to the bathroom without asking for permission, she could eat, and she could talk to people with less fear, even though they were accused killers. Her soul started to feel free and her faith was free to exist, and in secret, in her cell, she could at least talk to the God that they had taken away from her for so long. Wow, that’s heavy. Here's where Candi begins to cry...


Now the boys and Pato are chatting about futbol around Ali who is showing off Patito's baptismal clothes and Ali says she doesn’t care about futbol, and Pato says yes, she cares, she just doesn’t understand so explain it to her. The kids begin to tell her and she screams she wants a girl!!



Mary continues that God didn’t forget about her, and when she reached rock bottom, mind and body in the dirt as low as she could go, she started realizing that she had worth and value, and she would use little pieces of Cds, because mirrors weren’t allowed in jail, and she’d think she’s not so bad after all, and eventually she was able to cleanse her dirty soul. It was like a trash can full of disgusting garbage, adding a few drops of holy water doesn’t make a difference, you have to empty the trash can all the way first; start to wash it from the inside, and then start to put in clean things. Very nice analogy.

Anyway.

Candi thanks her for sharing her story with them and reiterates to the group that they don’t have to stand for violence. End PSA.

So I have to put this in for the guys...not too long ago she posed for the magazine H Extremo, and you can gather from the cover that, yeah, she's not so bad after all.



After commercial, Candy is now at home and chatting with ma and tells her they picked a wedding date and are arranging the details. Ma is happy they decided, but curiously doesn’t ask when? Wouldn’t that be your first question? Anyway she tells Ma they are planning a dinner out tonight to tell the kids. Now, knowing the kids reservations, why would you do this in public? Hmmm….

Chris and Meno go shopping as do Charly and Tono. Chris is trying to spif Meno up and Charly picks out an expensive small camera. The two interesting things about this montage were Chris taking off his nose bandage to scratch and Tono seeing them in the store and rushing off Charly so he doesn’t see.

Jaime and Ma talk about going to Monterrey. Donato wants to know when he should pack his stuff. Jaime wonders how Don knows all this stuff, and Issy shrugs it off the the walls with ears again.

Meno tries out his George Michael look on his posse.
He and Chris come in with the two on one IPOD trick. Lulu, Greg and Zam were calmly breaking for lunch. They are less than impressed with the new look and act like they saw him in the public mens room, you know, doing what GM did.

Lalo is jealous and yells at Chayo. My studies or you? Chayo chooses both. She says if he’s going to be crazy, he should at least be mature crazy and not childish crazy, and she storms off.

Chava with Pato, he has to take a bath and doesn’t want to Pato sort of indulges him, but Greg keeps him in check.

Candi comes home and asks again for a divorce. Pato maintains he is not mad, he’ll give the divorce, but he’s still doing this for Chava, not to keep her from Santi.

Chava comes back down with the wet washcloth look, but Candi doesn’t buy that he took a full bath and takes him by the ear back upstairs.

Rocio comes up to chat and Santi says yes, we are going to dinner with Candi and Chava, and no your Mom can’t come. Turns out she was put up to it by Pau. Pau wants to know the goods and pitches a fit when she finds out and tells Rocio that Candi wants to be her Ma, of course Roci doesn’t want that, so cries for her Mom not to die.

Sole wants therapy from Babs re Raul, are they going to fast? She’s worried about Beto rejecting Raul. Babs basically says, talk to him about it and give him lots of love.

Tono and Charly start filming their masterpiece.

Chava is talking with a mouthful, at dinner and they tell him they’ll wait for him to finish, he shouldn‘t talk that way. They then lay the news on the kids, they are going to marry. Chava shouts at Santi, you aren’t going to marry my Ma. Bet they wish his mouth was still full then.

Candi tries to convince him that he’s not getting a new papa, but he keeps on with his screams until he notices Rocio turning red.
He thinks she’s so mad she turned into a tomato. Rocio appears to have reaction to something and Santi runs off to get medicine.

When they get home Chava runs up to bed, and Santi says good bye, they’ll be ok eventually. Chava continues to be a snot and wants to live with his Pa, grabbing his picture. Candy cries as she goes to make him something to eat so he’s not to bed on empty stomach.

Tono is drinking with Charly and they are chatting about the film.

Santi brings Rocio home and promises her she won’t turn into a tomato like Chava said. Pau sees this and wonders what he did to her daughter. He explains and she asks what he knows and his reply is that he’s a doctor, uh, duh, so he knows what he’s doing. She accuses him of not caring and wants to take Rocio up to get cured by her Mama.



Santi pulls Pau aside and tells Roc to go upstairs. He tells her extremely seriously never again to say he doesn’t care about his daughter again. He stomps off. Pau winces.

Candi brings Chava food, but he’s sleeping already.

Pau asks what they gave her to eat and she starts crying. What did Candi do to you. She replies both of them did it to me, they are going to marry.

Candi sweats this same thing in her bed flashing back to Chava’s outburst.

Rocio is sought by the black gatito. Pa has painted himself, but he finds no Ro, only scares Lu who tells him Rocio went ot see her Ma. He seeks her out over there, and manages to get her to want to sleep with the cat. He likes that and Pau pouts again.


Tono is drinking un monton of tequila.


In his drunkeness he freaks out when he finds out his bar bill is 5000 pesos, not 500. Um, that’s a lot of tequila. He has no money and right on cue Meno comes out with the cleaning implements.



Candi climbs into bed with Chava and tells her she loves him and could never hurt him, and Santi is so great and they could be happy, but she doesn’t know what to do if he isn’t happy. Oh please.

Santi tells Rocio of when she was born and how she was like a wet rat.

In the other bed Candy is doing this with so much more drama. Santi tells Ro she will always be the most important even if he marries Candi. Ro has fallen asleep. Santi complains all the girls fall asleep on him. Uh, I seriously doubt that.

Sole and Raul are sucking face and I guess he feels that thing I was talking about earlier, but being a slightly more mature boy, he knows to walk away before he can’t stop. He tells her he hasn’t you know with anyone since his wife died, and well he just wants all the passion to build up so that when they actually do it it will be amazing. Yeah, that would melt me. Waahhhhh!!!
