Caray, Caray!

Some winner lines in this one, but man I wish there were fewer so it wouldn't take so long! :)


We open with the chicas fighting over their meat. Mona says Coni offered money and Coni claiming Mona asked for it. Mona leaves in a huff figuring it ain’t worth her sweet sweat. Coni tells Mau she’ll stay, he says no thanks I’d rather be alone. Ouch.

Beto is whining over Fausto the big brute to his Mami. Mona comes in and he begs her to save him because he wants to see Vegas one day.

At the neighborhood, Pau asks Estre to borrow shoes and gets an earful about the horrible state of Estre’s world and how she ain‘t lending nothing to noone anymore. She was casting all day and got nothing but “propositions.” Pau tells her she should dress more professionally. Estre gets offended and screams to the whole building, tomorrow she’ll come out all covered up, her body is not a piano. As she walks away Pau jokes, it’s a piano alright but a grand one. (piano de cola). There’s more to this joke but I’m not getting it right now, maybe it’s because she's so dramatic like the presence a grand piano grabs.

Mona is telling Beto that no wonder Fausto wants to smash him if he runs around telling folks Fausto is gay. Ma is like no way is tat true. Beto says they said it about his fight name and that he was in the US so of course I thought it was him. They beg Mona to do something and she agrees but swears this will be the last time she sticks up for Beto. She calls and asks for his room.

Mau shows up at work and immediately gets an apologetic call from Coni. He tells her she should be apologizing to Mona not him. He cuts her off short. Xime is with her in a super cute outfit telling her he wouldn’t hang up on her if she listened to Xime, if Xime tells her to tighten the screw then she should tighten the screw! This pisses Coni off more, of course.

At the office Moan begs Pau to cover for her she has to meet Fausto. Pau says she will but worries about that one who likes her so much (Gabi).

Ma chats with Oscar about trying to hurry the adoption. The important thing here is that Oz tells him he’d be better off if he married. He thinks that’s not so easy, but Oz assures him he’s a young good catch he shouldn’t have trouble, and right on cue Moni shows up with the capuccino. Mau follows her out and wants her to come to a meeting with him, they have pending things anyway. She can’t come because she has to take to the doctor her uncle with hemorrhoids because her aunt with menopause (menospausa pronounced wrong - meaning less pausing) can’t handle him. He stomps off and she who never lies yells at herself for lying more everyday.

Aldo is telling Estre she was right and that girls like to be the center of attention and that’s what happened with Kati; he didn’t call her for a week and she came looking for him and she thinks then of course she kissed you. He said yeah like this the girl’s a vacuum!

Estre loses her cool and all of a sudden is super busy and has to get on her way etc. Aldo just smiles, she’s mad and jealous.

Next we go to the Hotel Emporio Reforma ( I thought I recognized this place) where Mona meets up with Fausto. They chat about old times, and basically that he fights Beto all the time because of her, and she said yes to Beto but not to him, but he wants her to come to Vegas to live with him and that will make him give up fighting Beto. Guess who shows up in the meantime to meet some “northerners’ about business. Mau and Sal, and Mau spies Mona and forgets all about his northerners and wants to know what the hell she’s doing here with a guy. Sal calms him down, but he wants him to find out everything he can about this guy. Sal surmises she’s the one Mau wants to marry but of course he says not with her nor anyone, but man he wants to punch out this guy something fierce. Mona leaves saying there’s no way she’s going to Vegas. He tells her to think about it though, or he’ll see her in the ring.

At the house Monstranza thinks the whole world is out to hide him from her but really no one knows where Mau is. She tears Tere a new one thinking she is lying. Then the kids come out and she wants to sweet talk Dani and pulls her over to tell her where he is, but she can’t do that for more than two secs when Dani very innocently thins he’s at the office. Poor Dani. Lu tells the monster to back off and Monster leaves.
Aldo has been pounding on Estre’s door forever but she didn’t want to open. He swears she’s jealous, she says of that colorless , odorless (note this can also be a toliet), tasteless girl, - no way she says. She swears it has to do with work and no one calling her or taking her seriously. Aldo says he takes her seriously and is her number one fan. She calms down and realizes he is. She gets a call and asks her fake secretary if she has a free slot. Of course she does and lands an audition. She thanks Aldo that he brought her luck and they get this close. She tells him she cares about him and they get close enough to kiss, but at the last minute she stops herself and hugs him instead. Oh I wanted them to kiss. Is that wrong? :0)

Mona and Pau chat about the whole Vegas offer. Mona thinks maybe she should go to get rid of all her problems. She tells Pau she will. In classic novela mode, Mau is listening in at the puerta. He doesn’t like the sound of this.

Of course when we come back from commercial we learn Mona was just kidding there’s no way she’d run off with him. Naturally Mau has run off in his stupor of anger and didn’t hear this part.


When we come back, Sal got the info Mau was looking for and Pau gets mad at Mona for saying one thing and doing another. Turns out Fausto Goodface lives in Vegas has a chain of Mexican restaurants called the Monkey, and he’s a champion lucha libre fighter who goes by the name Mister Tornado. Gabi comes in and he asks her to bring Mona but she notes that it’s one minute after 7pm so she’s gone. Mau leaves. Gabi thinks he’s a good example of a man who goes after what he wants as opposed to one who wastes his who life on a woman who is deranged and who you don’t love anymore. Sal stares blankly as she walks out. Yeah she’s got some cajones alright.

Beto approaches the girls in the barrio and wants to know if Mona talked with Fausto. She tells him the story and he gets all excited that she was asked to go to Vegas and is surprised she gave that up for him. I guess she gets mad because she wouldn’t give in just to save him and he only sees her as an object that he plays rock paper scissors for - he says no but he did win her that way. She walks off hoping that he gets every bone in his body broken.


Crazy Coni shows up at work demanding to see Mau and making a huge psycho bitch scene that would even shame Gabi.


Mau shows back up at the hotel to meet Fausto, who actually knows Mau is a famous race car driver. He wants to talk about Mona, but Fausto wants to talks about himself and makes Mau sit to hear his tale.

Ma encourages Beto to buck and fight don’t be a coward. She says folks have had enough of his stupidity. She's had it up to here!

He takes offense and says he’s going to the hotel to prove he’s not a coward. Ma feels maybe she did the wrong thing.

Oz and Jero chastize Coni for wandering around whining all the time. They tell her Mau will marry, not with her, but she freaks out wondering why not her. They tell her generally man aren’t going to marry psycopaths like you, so you need to clean up your act.

Fausto continues chewing off Mau’s ear, nose head and half his torso. Poor Mau he wants out soooo bad, but he can’t get a word in edgewise with this guy who goes on about his encounter with the great fighter in Wichita who wanted to break his “ass” in English and yes this was censored. I think it’s hysterical the people outside in the window who are clearly just watching the filming going on…


Nieves prays to Lupita and regrets yelling at her boy. Oh get over it already. She tells Mona Beto does all this for her, and begs her to go after him. She says she will, but only for her.

Beto goes to the Emporio in search of Fausto Goodface. This results in a keystone cops episode when he again imposes his naco self on the doorman, telling him to go look for Fausto. The doorman says not his job, and since Beto won’t let it go, security is called.

Of course Beto escapes them and runs into Mau, his patron, Mau thinks maybe not since he hasn’t seen him around the office lately. Of course then Mona shows up and they go in circles about this whole thing and she wonders why Mau is there until Fau comes back and sees him and a brawl breaks out.

The evil twins begin to program their fembot and Coni steps right in line with the plan to marry Mau.

The police leave Beto alone finally, after Moni's information that he's not a thief, he's a fool, and Mau finally tells Mona he’s there to keep her from going away. She is very important to him. She’s worried about her brother being around to hear this and keeps telling him not to interfere in her life. He ends up taking her advice and walks out mad. She takes Beto angrily away.

Aldo invites Estre to the movies, she fights but then gives in and doesn’t want to go too late and thinks they should meet there so people don’t talk. Oh dear.

Estrella actually comes out looking really cute and more proper and she is all happy. Pau wonders why and doesn’t buy that it’s because she got work.

Beto and Mona come back. Ma thanks Mona, but Beto says for what, he came back for his outfit.

Mona tells them about Mau being Beto’s idol. They tell her not to worry that he still thinks Beto is her brother.

Mau gets all off his chest to Sal. He remind him if someone lies they can’t be trusted.

Coni shows up all sudden and asks to speak with him alone. She’s not going to bug him anymore, tomorrow she’s going away somewhere to forget him.
