Caray, Caray!

Rolando Klunder tells our Val Gal he just bought a house in Acapulco and he needs company there, not furniture. She agrees to go.

Luisa tells Ivan she invited him to the fight which was great. Ivan says his G-ma never said a word. G-ma shows up and tells Luisa to go off and tells G-son that she is the daughter of the boss and you and her have no future together. Naco gancho #1

Moni and gals went shopping. Moni tells Estre to hide her packages from Beto so he doesn’t know what money she spent. They go off, Moni begs him for the money to pay the rent. He only gives her 300 pesos because he says he had to buy the costume. She thinks he told her before they were buying it for him. They argue about working and he complains she’s taking and not giving. Me thinks the pot calls the kettle black. He rushes off all indignant.

At work Sal has a major crook in his neck, too much kissing up to his wife it might seem. Gabi has just the thing. The magicness of her body rubbing all over him. First he begs for coffee which Moni shows up with. It’s actually for Mau. She wonders why he keeps looking at her bubis, she assures him they are real. He tries to explain that’s not what he was doing. Gabi comments on her “looks” Naca Gancho #2 (clearly she’s copying Soledad from Tontas.)

Moni goes into Mau’s office where Conni has just begged him to let her hang out for a few days because her workplace is being redone and finds them smoochin’. This our little Moni is none to happy about. Conni of course plays up that they are animals frothing at the mouth for each other. Moni leaves the coffee and Conni makes sure she will bring a cup of green tea everyday while she is there. She makes fun that Moni probably doesn’t know what that is. Naca gancho #3

Moni goes back to the kitchen and smashes the heck out of a can of green tea while describing the smooch fest to Pau. Yep, not happy.

Our one eyed wonder pulls up in a car driving no less (funny, just the other day someone pulled out in front of me with a similar eye patch on and I thought, there’s some cajones) and gets met at the door by none other than Bonilla who of course wants his money. He pulls the eye patch off and tells him he won’t need it, he’ll need a coffin instead if he doesn’t get the money by tomorrow. Man it’s hard work roughing someone up for money everyday, no? Jero thinks this is impossible but doesn’t get much chance to protest.

Beto calls Constanza who corrects his use of bolsa v bolso.Naco gancho #4. He says yeah well I’ve got this nice wallet here with pretty cards and money and stuff so when will I get to see you. She looks in her purse and realizes he’s telling the truth and becomes more friendly. She sends him to Rictus bar in San Angel to meet her. Estrella hears his conversation and thinks he’s going to meet a girl.

Moni shows up with the tea and Conni throws the biggest beatch fit about where to set it. She manages to turn around right into Moni and the tea spills. This chic is fond of causing spills it seems. Naca Gancho # 5

She cries to high hell like the spoiled brat she is for Mau to come in and fix it but Moni claims it was an accident. Mau believes Moni and simmers down Conni a bit. When she goes to the restroom, he tells Moni he likes her outfit and the kids are ok.

Conni whines to Jero about the situation. He thinks she should tell Mau to fire her, but she doesn’t want Moni to look like a victim. Jero realizes that’s why she’s here.

Moni tells Mau she has a problem with her sick aunt who needs medicine and asks for a salary advance. He gives it to her, despite her having been at the work place for maybe a week?

Estre calls and tells Moni Beto took a bath, oh and he’s going to meet a girl. Moni isn’t sure. She goes back in to Mau and asks this time for the afternoon free to follow her loser boyfriend, er get to the lab in time to get tests for her aunt or something. Again he caves and lets her go. This is a great job, she never works.

At Rictus in San Angel Beto shows up with Conni’s wallet and she is thrilled but dismisses him. He begs her to stay. He yells across the room for the waiter and orders birria with plaintains and cream and plenty of tortillas. She gives him the rich girl death stare that says you are sooooo naco. #6 He’s oblivious.

Gabi tries her massage therapy on Sal, who still walks around like the hunchback, she wants him to take off his jacket and get on the floor. He realizes he likes it and begs for more. Enter wife wondering what the morally challenged senorita is doing on him. #7

Beto can’t believe this place doesn’t serve birria and thinks the food is dressed up but doesn’t taste any better. Conni is actually tolerating him and tells him this is a bar not a cantina. He offers her half. She goes off the restroom and in walks Moni. He sees her before she sees him and he ducks behind the table. For some reason Mau shows up too. He runs into Moni who says she had to go the restroom and that’s why she’s there.

Sal and wife argue about the “incident” and Gabi listens in outside of the window and makes comments about how evil the wife is.

Moni and Mau comment how coincidental it is that they run into each other and she says yes like a dream. He asks if she dreams about him and she says only in her sleep. Uh huh. She leaves and he calls Conni who also sees him before he sees her and she talks to him around the corner saying she’s at the aprtment instead of the bar, He reminds her of the event tonight and she tells him she’ll just be a little while longer. He leaves and then she goes back to Beto who says something else naco and she decides that’s enough and leaves. #8 He lusts after her.

Back at the office wife apologizes to Gabi who promised not to get on top of her husband again. Ha. She leaves and Moni comes back. She gets an earful from Gabi who gives her her advance and some work to earn it. This work is just so hard too. She has to go the gala and get boss to sign some papers.

She goes home and gives Nieves money for the rent telling her to hide it from Beto who will drink it. Nieves thanks her. Beto looks on from behind the curtain. Ruh roh.

At the elegant gala Conni is still going on about how Moni spilled the tea on purpose and if not she’s useless and why should you employ her. Xime runs up saying she brought her galan they will love to meet. Turns out it’s Mau’s nemesis, Rolo and they are mildly polite to greet him but wander off in disbelief that Xime is with him.

Moni is dressing for the gala. I think it’s hysterical that on a day when her original wardrobe would actually have been appropriate for her task, she changes her usual cocktail dress for shorts. Estre is lending her plastic pearls for her dress. She helps Moni escape without anyone seeing her dressed up.

Beto arranges with Costeno a “game” because there is a guy looking to play.

Abue continues to berate Ivan for his interest in Luisa. #9 He thinks she has no confidence in him. One day he'll be just as rich as Mau. He turns the tables though and tells her to go ahead and send him to the country with his Dad, he’s better off anywhere than with her. Ouch. He’s kind right in this instance though.

Beto steals the money and Nieves catches him. For some reason she doesn’t tear him a new one, but lets him take the money to gamble with only ineffective protest. I see why he’s a brat that she lets him get away with that.

Moni shows up at the event without an invite and gets a hassle from the door man. He kicks her out and she says fine.#10

Jero shows up to Beto and Costi for the game. He’s not sure he likes this.#11

Ricki calls Estrella and sweet talks her. Ivan escapes out the back, Jack.

At the event, Mau warns Rolu not to hurt his cousin, when she returns, they start arguing about racing and it turns out that Mau thinks he caused an accident that almost killed him and killed someone else. They almost get to blows until the press saves the day wanting a photo of the two best drivers together. While the photo session is on, Moni is back up above them getting kicked out again by the doorman. This time she manages to fall off the top part into the arms of Mau who is below getting photographed. Silly smiles all around.


You know I just want to add a personal note...please everyone think good thoughts for our hermanos in Honduras that they are able to resolve this presidential power struggle without bloodshed. Thanks much.
