Caray, Caray!

We open with Mau wanting to beat the frijoles out of Don Cesar. Mona runs up to Estrella but guess who’s close behind. Beto wonders what the heck she is doing here and not at work. She quickly hides her peluca and makes up that she came to get her gym bag. He reminds her she’s supposed to rest after a fight, not train. She sends him off for pan dulces. She then goes in and tries to tell Mau things aren’t as they seem. Don Cesar is just as confused. She tells him to leave, that this is her boss and she’ll explain later. He leaves in a fog. She tells Mau that he’s never hit her. He wonders why she doesn’t use the informal “tu” with her boyfriend. She says sometimes she does and sometimes she doesn’t. He thinks she’s lying and if he doesn’t hit her, then who does?

We now go to the apartment where Xime is telling these two to stuff it, that they betrayed her and Mau and how could they. Monsteranza swears it’s not as it seems, that actually Rolu came up with this idea to make Mau jealous. Xime doesn’t buy it and tells them they should have let her in on their plan then. You areno longer my amigosa. Conni worms a little more and swears she’s in a bad way. Xime says ha, well what if Mau reacts the opposite and sends you to “the rubber” which I think is the same as gumshoes or rubber soles meaning to send her walking. Of course she freaks out at this possibility. Xime tells her she should have thought bout being her best friend before she does all this, and anyway the picture of you looks horrible. She then slaps Rolu for good measure and leaves.

Beto runs into Cesar in the courtyard. He realizes that Beto is going to see Mona and he nervously tries to distract him.

Inside Mau pulls off the wig and tells her she’s lying. She says so what it’s none of your business. She was going to leave until she sees Beto out there with Cesar then she locks Mau in. He wonders if now she’s kidnapping him. He orders her to let him go but she drops the keys down her shirt and dares him to fish them out. Instead he pulls the old ,you employee, me boss, so open. Finally she does when she sees Ceasr and Beto have gone, C convincing B to go for coffee.

Estrella comes in reading the latest social rag, and Mau bumps into her causing her to conveniently drop it at his feet. Of course he sees the smooch. Mona remarks he ought pay more attention to what his gf the saint is up to and not follow Mona around so much. Hrmph. He steals the mag from Estre and runs off.

At the office Oscar is sweet talking Gabi in French about dinner they could have at an aphrodiasac restaurant. Sal watches on annoyed that Oscar is taking his time.


Beto tells his Ma that Mona laughed in his face when he propssed. She tells him, you need to grow up you still act like a boy. I think he takes this as an invite to be more macho rather than mature.

Cesar chats with Mona wondering what the heck was that all a bout? I’m your novio?

Gabi is happy she is not thinking about Sal and she tells Paula. Paula asks her if she wants her to read her palm. She tells all these wonderful things until Gabi says that one of the lines is actually a pen mark and she erases. Vero says that changes everything and now everything will be a failure.


Cesar doesn’t like confusion, that guy was going to break his head! He tells Mona she’s lying to Beto and needs to be honest with him. He knows there’s more to it than just Mau being her jefe or she wouldn’t lie. He tells her she better come clean or it will affect her career. Of course just then Beto shows up.

Back at the office Gabi and Paula are reviewing the photo mag talking smack about Coni when said smackee shows up in the elevator. Gabi greets her affectionately and tells her she can go in to see Mau. Behind her back she calls her a flirt (coscolina).
Back at the barrio, Cesar leaves so Mona can come clean with Beto, but he never ends up letting her talk. He reminds her that he knows they have been brainwashing her at work and that she needs to focus on their plans to go to Las Vegas etc. He lists off her litany of excuses I think for not being intimate with him and he leaves telling her she needs to grow up. Ha.


What the heck is with Katia…she enlists Ivan to help her make her boyfriend jealous. She wants to kiss him outside of some store she knows her boyfriend will pass by. Aldo hears them.

Xime says love is like when you like the color purple, but suddenly it’s out of fashion and not “in” Rolu says he likes purple. He invites her for daquiris which is exactly what she was thinking and just like that he’s above it all and why she likes him and feels loved with him.

Mau and Conni fight about the picture. He that she cheated and she that he did the same with Mona. She gets him to admit that he likes that woman.

She wonders if this is why he asked for some “time” so he can chase Mona. He says she has nothing to do with it, they aren’t working. The argument continues, she saying she helped him through his depression and so on. He still tells her to go.

Estrella also admonished Mona to tell Mau the whole truth to stop all these lies. She finally agrees she will and marches off.

In the office Oscar is chatting with Jero about how Mau can’t leave anything to the kids if he hasn’t definitely got custody of them. Huh? I thought you could leave anything to anybody you wanted including your goldfish, but whatever. He continues to tell Jero that they have to demostrate that Mau is unfit as a papa. Now this guy has balls talking about this in the guy’s own office suite. Gabi and Sal interrupt to take Oscar elsewhere.

Xime and Rolu are off for their daquiris when Coni comes up and yells for Rolu. Xime yells at her and covers him so she won’t touch him. Coni wants him to fix the mess he made but Xime tells her she’s not the center of the universe, when Xime is instead. Anyway Conni gets him to come back with her.

Gabi asks Pau to cover for her because she’s off to the salon. Sal comes out and notices her leaving and maes fun of her. Gabi rightly points out that Oscar unlike him is single, not promised to anyone and doesn’t have a knife wielding woman following him around. Paula adds that he’s hot too.

Mona burst into Mau’s office and tells him she has to tell him the whole truth. She doesn’t get anything out before a commercial. And then Conni and Rolu show up so Mau runs out on Mona. Coni says she brought him to explain. There ain’t no explaining a fist can’t take care of and that’s when mayhem breaks out.

Mayhem breaks out at the mall too when Hector doesn’t give a crap if she smooches losers like Ivan of course she runs off after him and Aldo comes out of hiding. Ivan swears he only did it because she asked him too, but Aldo won’t hear it.

No one wants security to show up because that will just make things worse, Xime wants Mau to hit Conni instead, the whole fight breaks down into Roku challenging Mau to race again and he agrees. Sal rightly figures Rolu manipulated the whole thing, but egos are in the eay now so ther’s no going back.

Aldo goes to visit Estrella who is on her way to an audition for a home video dressed like a sexy nurse. He wonders what kind of home video it is, and she says oh the kind they make these days. He needs a woman to talk to and asks her if she thinks he’s ugly. She laughs and he thinks he has his answer so starts to walk away. She tells him to wait, she’s laughing because of course he’s very handsome.

Gabi is off on her date with everyone watching her.

Coni is trying to talk to Mau again, wanting to return to before. Meanwhile Moni is in the kitchen waiting to talk to him. Vero teases her that she gave up but she says no way and stomps off towards Mau’s office. She opens the door to find Conni kissing him.

Mona runs off and Mau tells Conni to cool it. She figures out the door was open and she knows why. Mona runs to Vero and cries she’s not sure what she is even doing thinking such things.

Coni again is trying to change his mind. Just let him alone already he wants you or he doesn’t so just let him be. But no, she wants to know how much time. When that doesn’t work then she says she wants to at least take care of the kids she has gotten to love. He says no way that’s not going to work, but she begs some more and he caves but only with respect to school and not to decide anything major without him. Fool.

Beto is getting his arse kicked by Costena when Cesar calls him out of the ring and wonders if he spoke with Mona. Beto says what about and Cesar tells him to hold on again to his shoulder. We don’t know what he says.

In the big house Mau calls Tano and says tomorrow morning he wants to race again. Tano says he’ll have the car ready. Just then Aldo comes back and Mau tells him he can’t just leave when he wants. Aldo explains what happened and that he just wanted advice from a woman so he went to see Estrella.yes he saw Mona too, who told him to get home because Mau would be worried. Mau liked the sound of that and smiled.

Back in the barrio Beto wants to chat with Mona he’s mad because he talked with Cesar. She wants to know what about and he acts like she should know. She’s betraying him.
