Caray, Caray!

Mau announces he’s going to adopt the ninos. This prompts Sal to need some air.

The kids argue about whether they should stay in their place or go. Aldo the macho in training argues to the two girls that they all should escape but the girls get a good feeling about things and refuse to leave.


Moni in her finest ballerina outfit is reminding Mau what a good thing he is doing because the kids have no one to turn to. She mentions yes, she didn’t have the greatest childhood and did sleep in street once. He is moved and goes for an eyelash that has fallen on her cheek. This closeness is interrupted by Gabi who busts in. Moni runs off saying she has to go help Pau.

Costena Morales shows up at the gym and begs Beto to join him in the ring and they spar.

Xime is in a bar and having a rather weird courting session with Marcos Bonilla. She wants to feel his nose, something I do to all my dates too, and he, like the enamored man he is, obliges. When the check comes, she runs off without leaving money or digits for him. Stooge.

Moni and Pau are talking, Moni forgetting to do something, but she can’t remember what.

At the gym, Beto keeps telling the jefe that Moni will come soon. Beto gets his arse kicked.

Mauri wants to adopt the kids but Sal and Gabi try to talk him out of it. Mauri gets a call that Bernarda is here. She enters that they need to talk, the judge wants to take them because she has no authority.

Gabi and Moni fight about having decorum. Gabi realizes she doesn’t understand then accuses her of jumping on Mau in his office. Moni turns all boxadora on her. Gabi begs for defense from Sal. Mauri pulls Moni to go with him, she‘s still forgetting something though.

Beto is at home yelling that Moni stood him up and he can’t believe she would do this after it was so hard for him to get her this interview. He thinks that it was the Chino’s fault, that he wouldn’t let her off work. He goes to give him a piece of his mind. Nieves begs him not to go.

Mau explains what’s going to happen and then asks her to wait in the car. She agrees and daydreams in the car. She then thinks back to when she and Mau met, and when she told Beto she had to work when he mentioned the meeting. She then remembers she forgot him. Nieves finally answers the phone but Estrella is not there. She tells Moni to call her cell, she has a cell.

Meanwhile, Jackie Chan meets luche libre. Beto is looking for his “monita” in the store but our Chinese storekeeper shows him a “Monito” (a monkey statue). The Chinaman says there is no Monita. Beto doesn’t understand and yells for his girlfriend. He gets love Chinese style instead.Three guys come out to defend the store and do a kung fu style number on Beto. The cashier ladies call the policia.

Mau comes out to find Moni gone.

Moni and Estrella show up at the store only to find the police have arrived and are taking Beto away. They try to talk the cops out of it. Without pesos, that won’t work well.

Chauffeur tells Mau what happened to Moni, and Mau tells the kids, they can be his if they want. What the hell was that repeating explosion noise? Anyone? Aldo tells the kids not to go for it. The girls do, but Aldo wants to talk to Mau alone.

Gabi and Sal chat over the sudden change of Mau and she recites them. Sal thinks she is being a gossip, but she says it’s just that she cares about her buddies, even him and she strokes him very affectionately. He gets nervous. Gabi wants to know how his life is beyond the four walls of work. He grunts and shakes his head. He isn’t revealing anything.

Aldo tells Mau he is concerned about the girls. He’s sixteen and not stupid. He doesn’t want Mau to get bored of them one day and throw them in the lake. Mau swears he completes his promises. Aldo submits and goes for his suitcase. Mau approves of his character.

Jero is telling Marcos he has no money to pay him and tells him to go to hell. Just then Xime comes in and says she is in love. Jero says again? He wants to meet him when he hears about mountains of money.

Nieves and Moni contemplate what happened to Beto. Estrella thinks the Chinese women is very resentful and she even got mad when the man offered Estrella some candy once.

Moni doesn’t want to go with Snow to the station because she is worried about work and so Star offers to go. Snow doesn’t want her though because she thinks if she shows up there with her they will think she is a streetwalker lowlife. She isn’t? Just kidding. She prefers to go alone. Star knows Moni has a guy on the brain.

Meanwhile Beto is heading up the Vegas highlife in jail and apparently winning. The guard comes to let him go. He manages to buy off the guard to tell his Ma he can’t come out, he’s in for something really awful. Guard sees the pesos and complies.

Conni arrives and gets a super sorpresa, the three kiddies have been installed in the house and come out asking questions of Mau and Conni looks like a huge stick was just thrust up her….

Ivan argues with his abue over the arrival of the three kids and points out quite astutely that this will make 3 times the work. Abue says, also quite astutely, that this is Mau’s house and he can do as he pleases. No sh**. Ivan spews more teen angst but wanders off.

Mau sends the kids to THEIR rooms and tells Con he adopted them. Mau argues with Con over not mentioning the kids (whoops) and it gets nasty, she wants her due and feels she hasn’t gotten it in all this time. She thought they would form their own family. She wants to know what her place is. He says his girlfriend his woman. We see that little Danny is spying on them.


The kids love their rooms but Aldo Killjoy keeps telling them to get off their cloud, no one is this lucky. Right on cue Danny runs in saying Mau’s novia doesn’t like them. My reception broke up here, but it looks like Con and Mau keep arguing about the insta-family. No defense of the villainess, but really, if my boyfriend did that to me, I’d be a tad miffed too. Looks like I missed Aldo appreciating his great bedroom, and Con wondering if Mau would have changed his mind for her. He says no. She says fine we’ll forget it for now but they have to go to dinner, they canceled before. He wants to stay with the kids for the first night, but she pitches a hissy, so he agrees to go but to come back early.

Back at the impresa, Moni shows up and gets an earful by Gabi wondering where she was not working. Gabi and Moni fight over who should answer the phone. It’s Mau and he wants Moni to do him a favor. We see her showing up at his door. She comes in and happily greets the kids. He walks up with his chica all dressed up. Awkward moment approaching. Con gets introduced and she makes sure she lurches her breasts forward and proclaims she’s his novia. The first gancho is thrown. Weird smile from Moni.

Conni tells her not to keep him long because they are on their way out. Moni loves the house. Mau tells her he’ll pay her extra to watch the kids, but she’s there because she loves the kids. She wants to use the phone.

Back in the bedroom Conni starts her parade of questions. She thinks the girl isn’t ugly and wants to know what’s her deal. He tells her she’s new. He asks her not to talk about the kids with his cousins.

Moni calls Estre and tells her where she is and learns Estre hasn’t seen Beto. Estre teases her that her boss must be the guy she’s after. She says she’s only there for the kids, he has a girlfriend. She acts like she’s talking to her aunt when they come up. Conni doesn’t like that Moni thinks they have the same taste, because of their earrings. Moni goes to the kid’s room and sees the picture of their Mom. Luisa goes to the kitchen and runs into Ivan. Ruh ro, hormones flow. Aldo cuts them short. Abue too kicks them all out of the kitchen. Aldo has to pull Luisa away. Sheesh.

At dinner Xime, I guess, is drunk. She sort of seemed like instead she had a brain injury. She wants them all to toast to the couple. They reluctantly do so and Conni grabs her arm not liking a toast about a possible wedding and gets a dressful of red wine. She runs to the bathroom. Bro asks cous if the couple is having problems. He says change the subject.

In the bathroom Conni whines about having to throw out the dress and Xime says it’s not so bad, what’s up your keester. Uh oh…Conni spills that Mau has filled the house with orphans.

Back at said orphange, Moni is chatting with Teresa and learns that Mau is a widower, that he was in a race in Europe and got back to find that his wife was in an accident and died. And that’s all we get for tonight.
