Caray, Caray!

This one was a little bit all over the place. I had a little trouble keeping up with all of the goings on. We had more random odd scenes then usual. We had plots and plans and espionage. We had money being stuffed into pockets. We had chairs busting all over the place. And an ending that was as scary as any horror movie. So lets get started.

We start out with Chucho telling Chavez there is something wondering around the Hacienda, some kind of spirit and Chucho is frightened. Chavez asks him if he has a gun and says shoot it. Chucho says okay and off he goes. We see a concerned look on Chavez face.

Susana hands Ale the completed reports to sign as she drinks what I can only surmise is a hidden commercial. She asks Ale if she is certain she wants to send those reports. Ale says of course I do. Susana warns her that it might not be a good time with the Siglo crew being all out of sorts with her right now. She tells Ale that they have been talking to Beltran and it hasn’t been good.

At this moment we see Bow-tie guy talking with Beltran. He tells him that as smart as Ale is she has been acting a little neurotic and very preoccupied. He tells him that a poor environment is not good for sales. Beltran doesn’t want to hear this as he grabs for his oxygen

Chavez is asking Marco if he really thinks it is a good idea to have the wedding at the Hacienda. Marco thinks it is, especially with the 200 guests coming. He doesn’t want to return the wedding gifts. He says it could be something simple, but he will have to sell something to pay for it.

Chavez insists that the wedding can’t be at the Hacienda. Marco reminds him that Ales’ family has every right to have the wedding there. Then he asks Chavez why not? Chavez reminds him of everything they have sold to cover his expenses and goes to tell him of all the havoc that has been raised there. Marco doubts that anyone would even notice. Chavez paints a pretty descriptive picture of the evidence that would be in plain sight.

Chavez tells him there have been some changes. Marco wants to know more about this. Chavez tells him about a Ming vase that was broken (We have a scene of Chavez playing spin the bottle with said vase and oops) He had given away some of the silver as a birthday present. (Another scene with Chavez handing over the silverware to two very scantly dressed women.) Marco says this cant be. Chavez tells him that is not all and continues telling him he had to give gratuities to people and we see the plundering continue.


Marco tells him to stop and calls him a brute. Chavez tells him he has to come up with something to convince them to not come to the Hacienda. Marcos’ phone rings and it’s Jorge. Marco tells Jorge he is going to call Chavez regarding the Hacienda. Jorge wants to meet with Chavez tonight at his house.

The Boys have another problem to try and get out of. But rest assured they will think of something, as Marco tells Chavez he has to meet with Jorge.

Beltran is sucking his oxygen and asking bow-tie guy if the problem is that serious. Bow-tie guy tells Beltran that he thinks Ale is going crazy. He tells him Ale is at a very complicated age. She still isn’t married and she probably feels like that train has left the station.

Beltran wants to know what they should do. Bow-tie guy starts talking about Japanese shock techniques. Or something like that. He even volunteers to instigate these techniques himself. Beltran is very grateful for this

Chavez and Marco continue discussing their problem. Chavez tells him not to worry. He will come up with something. Marco does not look to convinced. (This shoudld be fun.)

Ale is chewing everyone out about their bad sales and tells them they will have to work twice as hard this month. Bow-tie guy tries to sneak in and Ale doesn’t skip a beat as she asks him how his talk with Beltran went. She wants to know what he has against her. He tells her it was the opposite. He was singing her praises. Ale isn’t buying that.

Odd scene number one. It is at the salon and a Michael Jackson imitator moonwalks into the salon to get a tint. Villia wants an autograph. I am not certain what Bogan wanted I think he wanted to know what he did after he died (What?) Ovi tells them that it isn’t really MJ but an imitator. She wants to know if he wants to participate in a dance competition. Then we get a little more dance from our MJ wantabe.

Ale continues with her rant. She tells everyone that these are the consequences they have to pay for not selling while she was gone. She asks them want they have to do. All together now “Sell!!” Now it is time to sing. This time Ale notes that it is not with actions and everyone is less than enthused.

She wants to know what’s going on. She asks them if they want another month of vacation? Bow-tie guy tries to intervene on his co-workers behalf. This isn’t going over very well. Than she asks them what they think they should be selling. She yells at them and they all quickly sit down with very scared faces.

Bow-tie guy continues and says it isn’t a problem of meeting their goals but a problem of motivation. She chides them and tells them they certainly have motivation when it comes to going out to party at the tortazo. Ramiro timidly corrects her (not a bright idea Ramiro). She starts yelling more and pore Ramiro is chugging pepto. She tells them they should all be ashamed of themselves.

Then she tells them they all have a mark against them for missing an hour of work and it will be noted in their files. This doesn‘t set well with the crew and Ale walks out.

Susana wants to know how the meeting went. Ale says not so good. She cant figure out why they think she should be treating them better after the way they have been acting. Ale continues that she returned from her trip in a good mood. But its their fault she’s like this. Than she asks Susana if Rafa has turned against her as well. Susana tells her its hard to know who‘s siding with whom.

All of the crew are now outside Siglo asking Bow-tie guy about his meeting with Beltran. He tells them Beltran is concerned about sales. He tells them that Beltran has agreed to let Bow-tie instruct them in a positive manner to vent their frustrations. Marino is not convinced. Claudia says the only way to enhance the labor issues is to raise their salaries.

Then we get a little discussion about World War Two and Pearl Harbor. Poor Ramiro doesn‘t have a clue what any one is talking about, and frankly neither did I. Bow-tie tells them regardless they all have an appointment to be there at 0900 to start their exercise.

Rafas’ phone rings. Its Vicky wanting to know if Rafa got permission to go on their honeymoon. Rafa tells her he hasn‘t had time. Vicky goes on about how she cant have a wedding without a honeymoon. Its like a butcher shop with out meat. Or ribs without bones. She continues to whine. She tells him to talk to Ale right now. Then she tells him he is making her cry with his indifference. (get over it all ready Vicky.) She tells him not to show up until he gets permission.

Susana gives them all their reports. (I think these are all the bad marks Ale has given them for leaving early or reprimands) They all start harassing poor Susana who tells them it is not her fault she is just following orders. She tells them to get back inside and get to work. She tells Rafa Ale wants to see him.

Now the crew have all decided that they need to get Susana on their side. They need to come up with a plan. Bebe is outraged. They shouldn’t be plotting against sweet Susana They all feign agreement and Bebe leaves. They continue to plot once he has left.

Rafa enters Ales’ office. She want to know what his plan of sales is for this month. He tells her he knows how many cars and trucks he needs to sell. She tells him that wasn’t her question. She wants to know how he plans to do that. She wants a specific plan. Rafa reminds her he doesn’t work like that. He has to find new jungles, new lions. He tells Ale that he has a problem of logistics. He tells her everyone here thinks he has lots of money. He was thinking of getting a loan somewhere. Ale cant believe he is thinking of taking out another loan and wants to know how he thinks he is going to pay it off. He can barely pay her what he owes her.

She says he doesn’t have a single penny but yet he has money to get married with. This ruffles Pajaritos’ feathers. He wants to know how she gets all her information. She says that’s not what’s important she wants to know where he is going to get the money for his wedding. Rafa wants to know why his wedding is any of her business.

She continues to rant on him about having money for his wedding and doesn’t have the money he owes her. She continues to tell him that any money he has she deserves. He tells her the money for the wedding is coming from the in-laws.

She calls him a louse for getting married without a penny. She is on one fine rant. And right now it is all about Ale. Rafa asks her if it is better for her if he doesn’t get married. Ale is indignant about this. Go on your honeymoon if that’s what you want. Well actually that is exactly what he wanted to talk to her about. (OH Rafa your timing is a little off). Now we see sarcastic Ale at work. She wants to know how much time he needs. He tells her he needs 15 days. She wants to know when and he says in two months. (Rafa you are so naïve) She says no problem. I can go out in the street and look for clients. (Ale should give classes on sarcasim.)

Rafa says they are in the same position and inquires about her honeymoon . She tells him it is none of his business. She tells him she doesn’t have the luxury of taking a honeymoon. And now we have the rehash of how all her problems is the fault of Rafa. (the criminal) .

She is really mad and yells at him if he has to get married well do it. Then she sets horrible limits. It can only be one night and he has to be right back to work and he cant get drunk. She tells him if he goes on a honeymoon she will hunt him down. He salutes her and says yes maam and goes to leave. She calls him back and tells him to sit down.

She wants to know the name of Rafas’ girlfriend and calls her a magpie. She wants to know more about the loan he needs to start his sales plan. He tells her he doesn’t know how or when he will get the money but he swears he will. Ale gets her purse and takes out some money to give to Rafa. Well he is not going to become more in debt with her. He is tired of all the humiliation. And now the fun begins.

Ale insists he take the money and Rafa is adamant he won’t. We have a funny little scene of Ale accosting Rafa and trying to force the money in his pocket. With Rafa valiantly defending his honor. Guess who walks in. Beltran. This doesn’t exactly look right to him, the two of them tussling about. (it was a pretty funny if not compromising looking scene).

He wants to know what is going on. Ale is petrified as she straightens out her dress and Rafa is speechless. Beltran tells Rafa to leave and go to work. Beltran angrily tells Ale he wants her in his office now!!! Ale is all “What did I do” then gets a worried look on her face.

We have the crew continuing their plan to seduce Susana. They need to come up with someone. Bow-tie guy figures it has to be Marino. That idea doesn’t fly. Ramiro isn’t exactly the right candidate either. Rafa is out because of Vicky Vicky Vicky and what ever he has going on with Ale. That leaves them with Dandy.

He agrees but he will need certain information about Susana. This job is left up to Claudia and Rosario. They will become his spies. He needs all the dish on Susana. So it is settled. Dandy will do the dirty work and the girls will get all the information he needs. They will start now and invite her out to eat.

Ale walks out of her office and tells Susana she has to go see Beltran. After what he just saw in her office it isn’t going to be easy to convince him she isn’t maltreating the vendors. (Good luck with that Ale). Susana wants to know what Beltran saw and she said she saw him trying to kill Rafa.

Now we are in Beltrans’ office and he wants to know what is going on between her and Rafa. Why is she treating him the way she does. She tells him he isn’t meeting his goals. And hasn’t come up with a good plan of sales for the month Beltran reminds her that they are talking about Rafael the “million dollar a month Medina“

Beltran tells her the vendors are right, she is treating them badly. Ale drops her jaw at this. He continues and says this is causing lots of problems and he is worried about the bottom line. Ale says so now I am the problem. They didn‘t meet their obligations last month.

Beltran tells her to calm down. He‘s not talking about blame. He‘s talking about a serious problem. She says if he thinks she is not doing her job that maybe she should quit. Beltran tells her that it isn‘t that she is doing a bad job, they need to come up with a different solution.

Odd scene number two. Rafa is out on the street and runs into a bunch of nuns. They cant get their car started. Poor Rafa cant say no to anyone. He ends up having to open the hood, but is worried about getting his suit messed up and getting in trouble with Ale for not working.

Back to Beltran and Ale. He tells her tomorrow they start their new exercise with Bow-tie guy and she is invited to come.

Claudia and Rosario invite Susana out for lunch. She is a little suspicious that they are trying to influence her to not submit their bad reports or to conspire against Ale. They assure her this is not the case. She finally agrees to go out with them.

Odd scene number three. And this scene was about as odd as they come. It takes place at trancazo. Some stranger walks in all swaggery and bellowing and goes to sit down. Of course the chair breaks. This happens a couple of times. Delores rushes over. We have a very long scene of the two of them and to be honest I did not understand a whole lot of what this was about. They decide to put on a dance completion at Trancazo. And the winner will get 15 days of free service. (or something like that.)

Ale is telling Susana all about her meeting with Beltran and it wasn’t good. He blamed her for all the problems. He blamed her temperament (of all the nerve, ha ha!!) Susana says that it isn’t fair. The poor sales last month was not Ales fault but Susanas’ because she was in charge. Susana offers to go talk to Beltran. Ale tells her it isn’t right that her assistant should have to defend her.

Susana tells her she is going to go out to eat. Ale is curious about this. Does she have a date. Susana assures her it is just with Claudia and Rosario. Ale is suspicious of their intentions. She accuses her of going out with the enemy.

Susana becomes defensive. Ale says they are just going out with her to get information about her. To turn her against her. Susana asks her if she doubts her loyalty. Ale says no.

Our final little scene is very scary. We have a very crazed Vicky pacing up and down. Trying to come up with a plan to get Rafa to marry her as soon as possible. It comes to her and it is very clear, as she pats her stomach. Okay all you telenovela experts, what do you think her plan is?
