Caray, Caray!

Rodolfo proposes and Macarena tells him that marriage should be for love, and she doesn’t love him (ouch!). She does tell him that he is appreciated. Rodolfo doesn’t seem put off by these words, he’s rather intent on pleading his case. He tells Mac that at their age the concept of marriage is different from when they were younger. At this stage, it is about finding someone to share life with…someone you can talk to, someone who will be able to share your secrets. Mac acknowledges that he’s privee to one of her deepest secrets. Rod again adds that they can move to the DF and take Paloma along with them. Mac tells him she’s got things she needs to fix from her past. Rod asks her how much time she’ll need. She tells him that she’s not sure. He’s not giving up, he slips the ring onto her finger and asks her to think about it. He reminds her that she’s not alone, he’ll always be there to help her….with Carlota, with Paloma.

Ines and Hilda are at the church and they gossip about Mac and Rod. They are sure they’ll marry.

Rafael visits Camila. He asks about Joel’s visit earlier in the day. Cami tells Rafa that Joel stopped in to purchase some things, nothing more than that. Rafa presses to find out the nature of their relationship. Cami tells him that she’s got a friendship with Joel, just like she has one with Rafa. Rafa takes offense, the two don’t compare. He brings up their kiss and how it meant a lot to him---it has given new meaning to his life. Must have been some kiss.

Cruelota is still out of town. She’s showing a ring to a jeweler, who admires its craftsmanship. Cruelie wants a copy made. Jeweler guy says he can do it, but it will take at least 4-5 days. Cruelie doesn’t like that timetable and pushes for something shorter. Jeweler says he’ll compromise, 3 days.

Cristobal/Padre Juan walks into the conversation between Hilda and Ines. They tell him that they are giddy with the news of Mac and the doctor’s upcoming nuptials. Cris is visible taken aback. The women question if he thinks it is a poor match. Cris says that Mac is a lovely woman, deserving of happiness and he’s happy for her.

Paloma goes in to check on Mac. She notices the flowers and the ring. She’s happy her tia is engaged. Mac lets her know that she didn’t exactly accept and she doesn’t believe she will. Pal tells her that she likes Rod and that she hopes her aunt will give the idea a chance. Pal leaves and Mac gets weepy thinking of Cris and how he’s Padre Juan now.

Ines runs into Rod out on the street. She flirts with him and it has horrible results. She’s clueless at the art of flirting.

Eric asks Lili if they can be novios. She accepts and they kiss. That is all we see of them in this episode.

Ines has a conversation with Angelica. She’s not feeling sexy, and after that poor attempt at flirting, I can understand why. Angie tells her friend that she thinks she’s a beautiful woman, inside and out. Ines complains that she’s so out of practice (at least she realizes her short comings). Angie tells her that it is like riding a bike, you are wobbly at first, but then things smooth out….and once you learn, you never forget.

Mac cries on Rufi’s shoulder about Cris being a priest now. What cruel tricks destiny plays on people’s lives.

Cami asks Romina if she’d like to help in the gallery. Romi doesn’t want to work, so the answer would be “no”. Romi gets a call from the private investigator she’s hired. He’s got an address and phone number for her father.

Angie and Aron discuss her getting her resume sent out through town.

Rufi walks with Pal and they discuss her artwork. Rufi casually mentions that Pal’s mother was a painter. Pal never knew this. Rufi realizes that she’s slipped and tries to back pedal a bit.

Cami and Monica discuss Mac and Pal—what good people they are. Cami’s worried about Mac’s health and doesn’t want to lose her good friend. She’s a rare find. They turn the discussion to Cruelie how they don’t really care for her. Monica says that life is short and you should enjoy it, Cruelie doesn’t seem to enjoy it all that much.

Dario remembers the encounter he had with Angie after she found out he was two-timing her with Georgina. Angie was willing to believe him if he said nothing was going on, but Dario couldn’t lie to her and he admitted it.

Angie reads some reviews about Dario on-line. She realizes that he’s gotten some criticism for his recent work. I was a little confused her, but I think the gist of this scene was that she believes he’s only been seeking her out to get help with his books. She feels like the fool for thinking that there was more to it.

Padre Juan Cris blesses Lando’s new business. Cris gets into a conversation with Emiliano. E starts to fill him in on what’s been going on with Mac, Cruelie, and Pal.

Lando’s secretary (Vero?) has learned she’s pregnant. It is a high risk pregnancy, so she’s going to need to be off work and be on bed rest. Lando tells her not to worry, the most important thing is the safety of her unborn child. Me thinks that the vacancy created by her leave might make some good temporary work for Paloma and also put her into closer contact with E.

Cris offers up some advice to E, but tells him the doesn’t want him to think he’s meddling. He spouts on some stuff about love…how it is blind and how under its bloom we only see nothing but the good in the other person, and that’s okay. Cris says that love should be fought for, no matter what obstacle is in the way. E takes his word to heart and says that for him, it is important to be near Paloma, whether it is as a friend or as a boyfriend.

Mac makes plans to see Padre Juan Cris. Rufi thinks she shouldn’t do it, especially since she’s just gotten out of the hospital and needs her rest. Mac tells her that she needs answers to so many questions.

Samuel (Romina’s pops) is apparently a lazy bum who is sponging off a friend and bilking some money off of some poor unfortunate woman. What a prize. Romi calls the number she was given, but quickly hangs up when Sam answers the phone. She wonders why he hasn’t come looking for her if he’s been so close all along.

Padre Juan Cris sees Ines crying and asks her what is wrong. Ines is feeling lonely and wonders if it is a punishment from God. Cris tells her that God doesn’t punish us, he loves us and wants us to find happiness. He offers up some sound advice, that before we seek love from others, we need to find it within ourselves. Ines isn’t buying this “new age” speak as she’s pretty convinced she’s being punished. PJC pushes this point and asks her what is it that happened to make her feel as if she should be punished.

Cami asks Angie what happened at the school, why’d she lose her job. Cami comments that it is odd that Romi mentioned nothing about Angie leaving. Angie wisely keeps mum and tells Cami she prefers not to talk about it. Cami offers Ang a place to hang her shingle. Ang says that Ines has given her a small office in her house and from there Angie will conduct her therapy sessions. Lando shows up and Cami introduces him to Angie. Ang seems a little over interested in Lando.
Rafa asks Joel where he went that morning. Joel says he was at the factory. Rafa pushes for more info, just the factory. Joel says “yep, just the factory.” Rafa wonders why Joel didn’t mention going to see Cami, surely this means something’s up.

Cami tells Lando that she doesn’t want to rush their relationship. She tells him that he’s the first man she’s dated since her divorce, 8 years ago, so this is all brand new to her. Lando questions if there is someone else. Cami gets a look on her face. It quickly passes and she assures Lando that she just wants to take time to make the best choice possible…hinting that he’s the best choice. Lando agrees to give her the time she needs, because he knows that they’ll end up together.

Emiliano goes to see Paloma. He asks about Mac. Pal tells E it is probably best if they don’t see each other. E says that he’s got a proposition for Pal.

Romi spots Pal and E talking outside Paloma’s house. Romi dials up Aron to tell him. Aron’s upset that Romi’s called him, but she tells him it is urgent because E is outside that stupid Paloma’s house. Aron doesn’t like Romi dissing Pal. Romi’s frustrated with Aron and tells him they need to act, now.

Dario sends Angie a text message…he’s in Real del Monte and needs to see her before he leaves.

Emiliano tells Paloma that they need to be able to see each other and he’s willing to have it be on whatever terms Paloma wants. END OF EPISODE
