Caray, Caray!

Enter Hilario, (now with a name like that we are sure to have some kind of crack up but I predict more GFN stuff that will show us mooch is indeed a genetic trait) who wants to stay with his little snow of lime despite having left her 20 no 30 years ago. For some reason she just takes him right in.

Ricki is showing Paula how much he likes her. She feels like she’s with an Octopus. He feels like he’s with a police sergeant. Oh poor baby. He just can’t help himself with her. Yeah, that’s what they all say….anyway….she tells him they have to work tomorrow and call her there but disguise your voice so what’s her face doesn’t know who you are. He says he only hears that she wants him to call. The whole while Estrella is staring on angry and dismayed all at once.

Mau after reading the cuenta de hada comes back to find a sleeping Coni, so what does he do? Pick up the cell phone to call Moni. She is with Beto who apparently fell asleep in her room and she can’t get him to wake up. Of course he wakes up when she’s on the phone with Mau who hears him and wonders if she is with her beau. She manages not to answer that question and tells Beto as he sloughs off that she’s talking to Estrella. She promises Mau she’ll be back at work but only because she needs the money.

Mau tells Coni he was talking to Sal. He goes to the kitchen for a glass of water and Ricardo wants to pick his brain about going with one girl but wanting it all with another. Mau says he’s not the one to talk to about these things something similar happens to him and he doesn’t know what to do. Ric decides he’ll go for the one he really likes and Mau says well, if you can, then go for it, because he can’t. He doesn’t want to hurt someone who doesn’t deserve it and the other woman is already with someone.

Xime chases down Rolu at a club. he's with another chica, but this doesn't stop our Xime she introduces herself and wonders why he doesn't do the same. She asks for him back and he says she's crazy. She just needs a drink and screams for a waiter. Eventually she takes the other girl's drink. She goes to sit down and bam he actually kicks the chair out from under her and makes her fall to the floor. Now that is NOT nice at all.

The next morning Beto is thinking he might like tripe for breakfast and he goes to check (get her to make it) on his Mom who, surprise, is with his Dad. Only he thinks this is some fulano that she just picked up off the street and he starts hurling devil’s tongue words of condemnation at her. She tells him he better hold his tounge to his Mama, and Pa wakes up asking if this is their son. Doh!

Over at the svelte house the icy branch of the Sermeno clan is having an artisan’s designed breakfast and Xime is crying about Rolu’s treatment of her. Coni yells at Jero to console his sister. He says ok, and tells her to shut her face because she’s ruining breakfast for the whole world. Coni also attempts to consle Ximensa whom she says can sometime be a bit difficult. Xime continues yelling she needs to get Rolu back. Jero continues with the love, that she she isn’t going to get anyone back with that emu face of hers and suggests she go to the bathroom and fix herself up, talk to herself, and do her self-esteem exercises.

Coni agrees she’ll feel better. Jero teases he’ll go bug her after she leaves but Coni begs him off and he wonders since when she turned good. She says she’s going to be good now so Mau will return to her. Jero reminds her that until Mona is gone, she’ll never have Mau to herself.


After the break we come back to Beto freaking about about this stranger being all of a sudden so close to his Ma. He learns about the little endearments and wonders since when he never saw this guy before. He runs off and they try to recover 30 years of abstinence, well from each other at least.

Pau is chatting with Moni about how happy she is over her time with Ric. Mau comes in and asks for his cappucino and Pau says right back at you that you are smitten too, and he broke up with his chic because he wants you but if you don‘t get rid of Beto you won‘t get him.

In the barrio Ric is chatting up Estrella who appears to be playing along. She agrees to meet him later in a couple hours after she fixes herself up.

At the office Coni presumes Mau is in his office and just walks in. Gabi wonders if she thinks this is an extension of her own house. Xime seeks advice from Gabi who has had experience. She rambles on about her vision for the future of marrying and having kids and then becoming widowed and living off her inheritance with someone who helps her through her pain. Gabo agrees she’s mal in the cabeza. She tells her that Rolu is worthless and used her and she shouldn’t give him the time of day. Xime is confused. She overhears Mau talking to Sal about meeting with a sponsor for his racing car and decides what she can do.

Estrella is telling Moni about her encuentro with Ric and how she feels bad about Pau but she couldn’t help herself. Mona gives her lickings and tells her she better not mess with him, friends don‘t ride the same bike. Estre hangs up and decides, yep, she’ll tell him where to stuff IT.

Nieves is singing “Si los Dejan” and floating around in the courtyard when Aldo shows up looking for Estre. Nieves tells him a minute earlier and he would have crossed paths with her. She’s gone but not sure when she’ll come back. She advises his as someone who could be his G-ma that he ought look for a girl his age and not mess with someone so weathered as Estrella, you know what I mean. Of course he doesn’t. She tries to explain that Estrella devotes herself to the “oldest profession” around. HE thinks acting, but she says no, prostitute, (meretriz) something very different. Aldo is impactado. This is going to be fun. I know it’s not right, but I’m actually routing for these two… :)

Moni goes to deliver Mau’s cappuccino and finds him with Monsti who tells her just leave it there, oh, and congratulate us because we are back together. I have the same dress Coni is wearing…

When we come back from the break Moni says congrats and Coni extols the virtues of why they are back together. Moni runs out of the office screaming he doesn’t want me…

Estrella blasts Ricardo a new one until he grabs her and locks her in a suck fest. Shortly she stops fighting.

Aldo and Ivan discuss the likelihood of Estrella really being “that kind of women”. Ivan thinks it might not be so bad for him because she wouldn’t look at a little kid like him, but if he gives her some money well she’ll surely make him a man. Aldo gets pissed off at him and Ivan wonders if he’s in love with her, he admits he is, so what. All Ivan can say is Chale….

Beto runs up crying to Mona as she is crying too. He cries about how is life is a lie and his Ma is cualquiera and he’s crushed. She doesn’t understand but he wonders how she would feel if she found her Ma and Pa shtupping in the bed. Univ. censored this, I don’t know why, because in the original he actually says they were “en pelotas” meaning stark naked, so I guess that’s a bad word here in the good old land of the “free.” Anyway….the next thing we know, the kids are coming up to the courtyard and come upon said Ma and Pa making out.

Outside Ric keeps asking Estre if she had a good time and she says yes now shut up because you keep asking me and that just shows how immature and insecure you are. He says it’s just that between all the kisses and caresses she seems preoccupied. Yeah of course, she’s betraying one of her best friends and she doesn’t like it and it’s part his fault because he convinced her. He agrees to break up with Pau then, but not tell her they were together this afternoon. She says fine no more lovey dovey until he’s broken up with her. Just then “her” comes walking up from the corner. They duck behind a car and Estre worries they were seen. Ric swears he’ll leave her tonight and makes him leave.

Nieves wants to introduce Mona but Beto says no way this is my dad, a Dad shows a kid how to swim and kick a penalty, and ride a bike and be around for Christmas and the day of Kings and so forth and where the hell were you? Ma tries to shut him up but Pa says he can let it all out that’s ok. Beto says hell yeah, and anyway I’m leaving. Mona tells them to take advantage of him being gone.


Xime shows up at Rolu’s apartment and tries again to get him to be back with her. He’s with another chic and still isn’t interested. HE tells her to stop following him or he’ll have to file for a restraining order. She says what if I tell you I know about a meeting for sponsorhip that Mau is going to have, will you get back with me then. He finally says alright, and pays the other girl he’s with to leave and go party or buy something for her self. Nice. He turns around and says fine now tell me. Xime says kiss me first. Oh boy, here we go…I can’t believe she all of a sudden gets so desperate.

Estre tells Mona that she messed around with Ricardo and she feels really bad, but the flesh is weak. She says she told him though that he’ll get nothing more if he doesn’t break it off with Pau. Mona says that doesn’t really help out your friend. Sure enough Pau comes out announcing she dreamt about marrying Ricardo and having kids and so forth. Estrella wanders off crying, knowing there is no good way out of this.

Mona consoles Beto about the Ma and Pa situation and that at least he has a Pa, she doesn’t even have that. He thinks it’s gross that guy touched his Ma. Mona wonders we he thinks he came from, a little piece of broccoli? Just then Nieves shows up and Beto turns all my ma can’t wear anything lacy. She asks him to stop this and try to give his part. He says he’ll give a part, his boot on the guy's rear.

Mona tells Nieves to do something but she thinks Hilario won’t take it badly and wonders how she looks.

Beto all fired up goes over to see his Pa but his eyes widen when he sees Pa counting several 100 dollar bills (with the door open, I think not). Meanwhile Nieves chats with Mona and confesses that she’s not so good with math and dates and well she’s not sure if Hilario is his Pa. Moni freaks out but Nieves retracts saying oh well of course it has to be his Pa. Heh, maybe she is a cualquiera after all. :)

Beto and Pa then go out of the room singing together and say they are going off to get back lost time. This will be interesting.

At the track, Mau is showing the kids the car when Tano runs up and tells him that Rolu is with Mau's sponsor and they are taking the sponsorship back.

At the office Coni wants to make up with Moni. She tells her she’s done awful things, but wants it to be better and well, despite her defects, well everyone’s defects, she’s worth something and Coni wants Mona to work for her and won’t take no for an answer. Oh yeah, this is going to be good. Straight to the devil’s lair…
