Caray, Caray!

From last night: Alicia surprises Pato with an Hola mi amor! Candy and Santi return home and discuss their kids. Pato tells Margarita that their wealth is mafioso money. Candy comes home and gives Chava an elaborate ship model which he promptly throws on the ground. Brat. Amazingly it does not break.


Tonight:
Candy cries about Chava's tantrum and Gregoria comforts her. Meanwhile Chava pouts upstairs. "Why don't you love my papa?" he demands when Candy joins him. Candy tries all ways to reason with him but he's firm. He wants to live with his mama and his papa. Candy tries to explain and Chava tells her to tell Merengue.

At the big house Rocio's also got the blues and wants to know why ma can't be pa's girlfriend. Mean mommy says that's what she wants too, for them to be together and happy. Can Rocio keep a secret? If dad marry's Chava's mom everything will be different. She asks if Rocio loves Chava's mama and Rocio says right now she doesn't love anyone or anything. Pau instructs her daughter to not mention their conversation to daddy.

Over at the Instituto Chayo decides she wants to become a psychiatrist. Meño shows up to report on Candy and Santi. He won't say anything except they were on the beach, under the sun, alone...and it's time for dance class. He ushers the unsatisfied ladies away.

Lu walks with Freddie but her thoughts are of Charly kissing Daniele. Fred tries to poison Lu's mind against Charly. Then he makes his move, saying he's ready for the next step of their relationship. He smirks over her shoulder while he tells her how much he wants to be with her.

Isa confides in Jaime that Pau is a cockroach. Jaime already knew this because he has seen her wings. Isa elaborates that Pau put the horns on Santi when she went to NY. Jaime wants to tell Santi immediately but Isa is fearful Pau will hurt Rocio.

Santi gets a better homecoming from Rocio than Candy got from Chava but the questions are the same. Why doesn't daddy love mommy? He says he won't lie, he loves Candy and he won't be boyfriend or husband or spouse to her mama. Rocio doesn't like this and leaves the room.

Freddie gets that pouty, faux-sincere face that a lot of really good-looking guys master early on in life to get their way. (To be fair to the gentlemen among us I'll add girls do it too but we're talking about Freddie now.) With that face he tells Lu that Charly has HIV and she'll have no future with him. With that face he lies some more about how much he cares for her and wants to protect and care for her.

The bad guy Gabino meets with Pau while the bodyguards observe. He called her there there to ask if she knows anything about his papa since she was Mario's lover when he operated on dad. She says WAS, past tense, and all she knows is that after the operation he (the dad) left. Why doesn't he ask Mario himself? He'll tell Gabino the same exact thing. Gabino gazes at Pau pointedly, like a predator, while she tries to maintain her composure.

Freddie and Lu suck face and he says he's only demonstrating his love. He disses Charly some more and tells her today is a special day, he wants to make love with her. More sucking face. What a coincidence, this whole situation sucks. Run Lu run!!

Pat tells Art that Gabino is mafioso, what was he thinking? Art tries to make the distinction that he worked for Gabino's dad laundering money (through construction) and now son of Gabino only pretends Art works for him. "Dad, you're garbage!" Pato exclaims, thus clarifying his feelings about the situation.

Cuau calls Lulu at work with some news that makes her gasp. She tells Sole she thinks she has a date! Hey, what about Toño?

Candy tells Merengue that she's Santi's novia. Chayo hates this and snatches Merengue back. Candy says she likes Chava's dad but she doesn't want him to be her novio. Chava insists he is NOT going to be Santiago's friend.

Pau meets with a skittish woman that apparently her lawyer knows. Amanda says she met Licenciado Menendez when he tried to help her with her lawsuit against a plastic surgeon. They ended up losing because the doctor paid off the judge. Pau suggests that Amanda tried to buy the doctor's lawyer. This pisses off Amanda who tries to show Pau her botched surgery but Pau wrinkles her nose and declines. She says she's looking for someone like Amanda to help her with some business. Amanda asks what kind of business? Pau asks what's her price? Amanda is offended and leaves, "I have no price!"

Al interrupts Pato's daydreams of Candy. "Hola mi amor, look who I brought!!!!" She sticks Patito in his face which helps bring Pat out of his funk. He asks Al for a favor, whenever she finds him lost in thoughts of Candy will she remind him he has three sons and for that he should be happy? He lovingly cuddles Patito.

Amanda decides to return and hear Pau's plot. Pau needs help separating a man she wants from some chippy named Candy. Amanda must pretend to be an ex-patient of Santi's whose life was destroyed by his crappy plastic surgery. She wants Amanda to confront Santi so that Candy will be disillusioned by him. Pau starts to explain the details of her heinous plan as we break for commercial.

(There will be a movie on this channel Sunday night. It's called La Misma Luna starring Kate del Castillo. I saw it when it was released and thought it was quite good.)

Back in Guadalajara it's night and over at the big house Lucia tries to sneak Freddie into her room. Where's Donato when we need him?? A door cracks open and we see a spying, smirking Pau.

Greg tells Meño about Candy's transformation. A doleful Candy joins them. Meño's jaw drops at her makeover. He's so jealous, her hair is like grass. (A joke I think.) He tells her he knows who his invisible friend is. Greg, who used to be homophobic, is absolutely ecstatic and blurts out "Ricardo!". Meno tells Candy it seems Ricardo wants to come out of the closet but he doesn't want Catalina to think he stole her husband.

Meño notices Candy's ring. "What?!? Oh. My. God. Don't you get it Greg? The plastic doctor proposed marriage."

NOOOOOOO... Freddie starts to undress Lucia and horrid Pau takes a pic with her cell phone. Bitch. On the other hand, why are they making out in front of an open door? When I was young I made sure to lock doors. I mean if I were young I would lock the door. Yeah, that's what I meant to say.

Pau smugly visits Santi in his room and flips her phone back and forth before sauntering out. She returns a few minutes later with some champage. She pours two flutes and toasts. Santi is confused.

Thank goodness Lucia pushes Freddie away and sees the open door. She shuts it, silly Lucia. Then she tells him to leave, smart Lucia.

Cuauhtemoc and Lulu are on their date. He flatters her and asks her to call him Cuau. She eats it up and says certainly because it reminds her of the famous mexican athlete Cuauhtémoc Blanco. He takes her hand and notes how much they have in common. He asks her a favor. Can she teach him? (Teach him what, to cook? I think I missed something.) She excuses herself to use the "tocador" (to touch up). Cuau calls someone and says Lulu's such an ingenue that in 2 or 3 days they'll have the info they need. Damn him!!

Lulu calls Candy from the tocador to tell her she's in love with a very sensitive man. I'm now having a fantasy of Toño using Cuau as a piñata.

Pau polishes off the bottle of Champagne and makes herself comfy on Santi's bed. She passes out (or pretends to) so he has to carry her out.

Next morning Lucia hears Pau asking Rocio wouldn't she love to sleep in the same bed as her mommy and daddy? She suggests that Rocio bring it up to daddy and tell him it's her idea, not mommy's. Lucia scolds Pau for brainwashing her sister. Yes Rocio is her sister and if Pau continues washing Rocio's brain her vacation in this house will be over! After Lu stomps off Pau smirks at the incriminating picture of Lucia on her cell phone.

I love how Isabel and Jaime often eat breakfast out on the patio. She complains to him some more about Pau, how she abandoned her son and her granddaughter. Jaime calms her down and says things will work themselves out. (Las aguas tomen su nivel.)

Mario tries to visit Shanti at the office but unfortunately he is followed by Gabino who wants to talk to him...now. Mario is visibly shaken when Gabino asserts that Mario knows why he's there and between him and Doctor Lopez Carmona he will get an answer.

Meño and Charly meet to compare their lists. Charly says the first thing he put down is a cheer. When he was young and played soccer he used to imagine that his father was in the stands cheering for his goals. Meño says he would love to cheer for Charly. Meño's embarrassed about his first item. He's always wanted to learn to dance flamenco. Daniele shows up with the news that...her papa has asked her to come home! Hugs all around. (Charly said "porra" which I believe means a cheer. I'm not completely certain and it took me a while of looking in my dictionary and poking around the internet to figure this one out. At least I think I figured it out.)

Gabino escorts Mario back to his lair and informs him he won't leave Guadalajara until he finds out about his papa Don Roque. He wants to know why Mario is protecting Lopez Carmona. He knows Santi was the first doctor his dad consulted because he was there. He recalls Lopez Carmona wouldn't take the case because he was too honest. Gabino glares at Mario with a jaundiced eye.

Over at the Institute Ceci scowls at Raul. Sole runs in and gives him a big hug and kiss. Raul gloats at Ceci only slightly.

Ricardo visits Meño at the restaurant. Meño is frosty and Ricardo asks what's going on? Meño responds he wants nothing going on with Ricardo. Smackdown.

Mario tells Gabino that his dad Don Roque has been gone these 6 years and nobody will find him. We learn that Gabino Jr. has been handling "the biz" all these years. Gabino thinks Mario is a little too sure that his dad won't appear and insists he'll not leave Mario in peace until he knows what happened to his dad.

Pau and Mario bicker over lunch while some shady guy takes their picture. Mario threatens to her that he will to tell Shanti that they were lovers while she was still married to him. I think the shady guy is is the old bodyguard that Mario paid off.

Ceci tries to turn Sole against Raul, she says Raul is not in love with her. Raul is a widower and merely looking for his dead wife's substitute. She mentions that Candy told her his house is a museum to his dead wife's memory. This worries Sole, what does Ceci mean a museum?

There is a large gathering of both Santi and Candy's families. Chava is still working overtime being a little pill. Isa sees the ring, guesses they are engaged and Santi formally announces that they are novios!! And engaged! Lots of hugging.

Pau stomps into the kitchen and Isa follows to gloat, Santi is in love with Candy nyaa nyaa nyaa take that! Furthermore she's going to spill the beans to Santiago and help him erase his past with Pau. Pau asks isn't Isa afraid of losing Rocio? Isa snickers and says no judge would separate Rocio from her father. Pau drops the bomb of all bombs. Isa is right, however Rocio's papa is not Santiago, Rocio's papa is Mario. Isa is impactadoza.

The episode ends with Jaime Camil serenading us with "Señora de Nadie".

And another bomb, we're in Las Ultimas Semanas!!!

P.S. I just read on the Cuidado comments that Violet got an A in her microbiology class. Kudos to Violet!!
