So Issy tells Pau of Santi's mounting deficit.
Santi qvetches to Lalo about Candi...Lalo thinks women are lost causes.
Pato comes upon Candi bathing the baby with the boys and thinking that this should have been his family.
Charly and Lu talk about his wounds, and that some just don't heal.
A real estate agent and gringo come to look at Santi's office...he touches everything and Santi freaks because he's obsessive compulsive.
Pau calls the bank to find out about Santi's accounts. She learns he has nothing.
Abue chats with Llu about the reality that hurts. Charly still loves her and he's great and she's in conflict with her own feelings.
Charly shows up to the restaurant, everyone worries over him.
Arturo shows up and demands to speak to Greg, Meno calls him el Tunco Maclovia.
Chava calls Candi at home and wants her to come back. He thinks he's sick. She says she'll come back and leaves a note for everyone. Candi leaves a message with Isabel re same.
Turns out Santi is at Patos and the kids are playing. Pato chides him about "checking up" on his novia.
Arturo tells Greg he needs comfort because he can't make up with his son. She demands he tell her what he did.
Santi decides Roci wants to stay overnight with them and gives him all the instructions on her meds.
The kids are hungry and want hot cakes and they force him to cook for them. Pato wants Pizza or sandwiches. What I don't get is that he has this huge house with big money yet no domestic help. No way...
Arturo and Greg keep chatting. He digs about Candi a little. Greg assures him she'll get her son back, despite Art assuring judges never change their opinions.
Social services pays a visit to Pat to make sure Chava is there and fine.
Santi chats with Lu issy interrupts but he doesn't want the message now. Lu can't stand up to Fede and Santi says he doesn't like Fede.
Candy gives Chava medicine Pat comes in and offers her Ali's room, but she wants to stay with the boys.
Lu leaves, Santi tries Candi. Pau comes in to talk to Santi. Candi calls Santi.
Pau says she's worried about the future of her daughter and worries about the money he spends and thinks he'll never find his son.
All the boys go to school. Santi meets up with them and Chava says they are almost a family because his mom stayed over. Uh oh.
Santi goes off on jealous rant.
Lu blasts Fede for his behavior and his drinking.
Back at this institute Candi and Santi continue fighting. She finally calls him jealous, he denies it, but yes he is. He calls her sister Candida that she is responsible for all the orphans of Guad.
Pato chats about the movie with his buddy. He begs him not to bring the baby to the next meeting.
Candi and Barb have another session about the Santi incident. Lulu eavesdrops.
Real estate agent shows up again. She tells him the office is sold, but not for the price he wanted.
Meno and Chayo dance and Lulu interrupts that Candi and Santi need their help to reconcile. Meno gets an idea.
Santi and Lalo muse the selling of the office and wonder how they are going to work. Santi thinks they can volunteer in hospitals and eventually they will get work.
The girls including Meno pray to the Virgin Zapopan. Candi and Santi listen in as they invoke the saints. Santi apologizes. He agrees he's been a tonto, but wants Pato locked in his room when she is there. He asks her for a space to give his consultations. She says he can have the bodega for free. He is happy to be near to her. They kiss a bunch.
Art shows up to see Gogo. She says she's prohibited from talking to her boyfriend. He came to tell her he knows how to fix the Candi and Pato issue, he can't tell what, but requires her to keep on caring for him no matter what.
Candi shows Santi his little space. He makes fun but is grateful. When it comes to Horty sharing reception, Santi says no way she'll kill Lulu, Candi thinks Horty is great and will love being with them. He's not sure which Horty she speaks of.
Candi shows up at Pato's with the kids. He wants to talk but she doesn't want to listen. Just then Art comes in and spills the beans, it was all his doing, Pato knew nothing. Impactado look from Candi.

I loved this crisp, clean recap. No clutter, just the clear structure of the episode. Nothing left out but no cumbersome detail. Works for me amiga! Thanks.
(And get some sleep this weekend, okay?)
I felt a tinge of regret that the family Pat felt should be, will not.
To me, the surprise of the night wasn't that Art confessed to the custody deception but that he really does seem to love Gregoria. I don't think he deserves her, he was (and is) a terrible father: "Arturo tells Greg he needs comfort because he can't make up with his son." Please! As usual, he cares only about himself, not the hurt he's caused to Chava, Pat and Candy. Needless to say, he was an equally wretched husband. Hoping Greg either doesn't forgive him or that her long lost love reappears at the last moment and steals her away.

At least Santi's onto F
But, as the truth behind the custody issue is out now, there shopit appears the custody issue

A bit of trivia, Julia Aleman (the actor who plays Arturo) played the lead role in the 1970 movie El Tunco Maclovio (one-handed Maclovio), so it was an amusing inside joke that Meno called Art that name. El Tunco Maclovio is a tragic western of a genre of Mexican and Spanish cinema that was a spinoff from the spaghetti western. I'm kind of hoping that as El Tunco's love was doomed so is Art's relationship with Gogo. I'm not sure if that is what Meno meant or if he was implying something else.
The kids want hotcakes? Pato should try Batter Blaster, pancakes in a can!
Hooray for Lucia, dumping that piojo Fede. Fede no esta sexy.
Carlos, I guess it would have been too easy if Pau knew that Patito is Santi's progeny, sigh.
Thanks Kris, you are amazing for doing the recap after working until midnight. What a trooper!
Of course, Candy will ask Pato, did you know this. He will not lie and say yes. She'll yell at him and leave and still take it out on him. If that is the only plan Art has, to take the blame, not that good. I think Greg will still drop him. He has to get the judge to change.
Have we seen the last of Fede or will he try something else? Is Pau just going to run now?

And though I never like to wish ill on anyone, it would not trouble me in the least for Freddy to develop a large, festering, suppurative zit in the middle of his forehead.

Sylvia...thanks for the explanation of Tunco Maclovio. I knew there had to be some inside meaning but I was clueless.
Kris, again, you are amazing. Thanks for grinding this out when you had to be dead-tired and then some.
The good news is that no matter what happens, it's all going to be resolved soon. The bad news is we make not like how it's resolved. For example, I want Arturo and the judge to go to jail, but I'm not getting the feeling that Art could just say, no problem, I'll just give the judge some more money to change his ruling back, and everybody will be fine with that. Hope I'm wrong.
Lucia was smart to use Fed's drinking as her reason for not wanting to see him, but it would be better if she added that he was a creep (I think she did say he was "abusive"). Hope she's done with him.
I would have liked Chava to have been caught in his phony sickness, but oh well.
I get so crabby I would be pounding the computer and yelling.
Paula, I just saw your comment yesterday about Jaime painting a fence.
Please don't put a bag over his head. He's just too cute to cover those sexy lips, eyes, etc. etc.
He can wear an apron if you want Sylvia as long as it's black.
I wonder if the characters who have disappeared are coming back?
Will Mariloca show up or Sole and Raul?
Is Margarita gone for the rest of the show?
It seems a little late to bring too much new into the mix.
Yep Kris, I will miss it too when it's done. There aren't enough light comedies to suit me.

Carlos: I'm willing to bet heavy Monopoly money you NEVER blush. And I seriously doubt if you are ever speechless as well. But hey, you know we love you, blushing or no.
Oh yes, Good work, Kris!
Carrie, I agree Camil looks better when you can see his face (although I think he looks better with shirt than without). But even with a bag over his head I'd enjoy watching him because of how he moves and the energy that bursts out of him.
When Candy offered Santiago the bodega (storage room), did anyone one LFMB flashbacks? A storage room. Small. No windows. But you get to be close to the love of your life. You’re gonna’ love it!
Looks interesting, but will be long. They are on Cap 209 right now, but do look to be in Ultimas Capitulos.

My youngest son has just started college and thinks he wants to work in the medical field. He's thinking of biomedical research or working with patients.
I'm afraid it's my fault. We watched a lot of those "mystery diagnosis" shows as he was growing up.
I know it's a hard road ahead with all the schooling and practice so I admire anyone who is sucessful at it.

Violet, you are NOT too old to become a nurse. The profession needs mature, wise and compassionate people. The studies are hard...but they would have been difficult at a younger age also. It's a tough field. I know a wonderful woman at my church who is completing her nursing studies at 65. Of course she sometimes says "now tell me again WHY I'm doing this!"....but she knows why and she will be a marvelous nurse and an emotional and spiritual support to her patients.
(you're safe though, the only place I travel is to Charlotte.)
Must say, though, that going to Austin for my nephew's wedding was a real eye opener. Great city, great area. Loved it.
Imagine Houston is quite different. Man, that's a big state!
