Caray, Caray!

EPISODE 47:

* Clemencia talks with Aimee about being stuck in the bedroom as well as welcome her and Renato back home. Clemencia leaves. Aimee looks out the window - she’s searching for someone.

* Renato and Regina share a warm hug in the front entryway. She’s surprised he’s returned so soon after the wedding. He tries to tell her about his honeymoon but she’s uncomfortable. He changes the subject and tells her he has hired a new administrator. He won’t tell her the man’s name - it’s a surprise for tomorrow.

* Two ladies pass each other in the street in the dark. Tarzan wanders up to the mansion and climbs the wall like Spiderman.

* Aimee dreams about Tarzan as Renato sneaks up behind her and picks her up in his arms. She giggles like a schoolgirl. He is jealous about her daydreams. She flirts and plays innocent. He’s captivated by the mystery. She claims he is the only one she thinks and dreams about, then asks what took him so long to return to her. He explains he met with his mother then Regina, but he is there with her now. They kiss.

* Tarzan wanders into the front room and ponders where or where is the little traitor tonight? He leaps up the stairs and to the right.

* Tarzan enters a bedroom and stands at the door with knife in hand, grumbling about making the little traitor and her family pay mightly for tricking him. He lunges for the bed and destroys the mattress then goes about destroying everything else not nailed down. (Clearly it is an empty bedroom.) He smashes the long mirror in the corner then looks at his broken up reflection and mutters his “Juan del Diablo” vow to himself again.

* Aimee and Renato discuss his past dreams about the land and the workers and how he now wants to sacrifice those dreams for new ones with her. He thinks about letting Regina handle more of the ranch duties for him. Aimee acts jealous. Renato is enchanted, just like he remembers she acted as a child. They kiss. He wonders if she’s jealous. She says no.

* Tarzan has successfully left the mansion without being spotted by anyone (or waking anyone up). The narrator tells us that he won’t be reappearing there again. Tarzan mutters a promise to “Jaime”(?).

* Aimee confronts Rosie for interrupting her and Renato on their first night back from the honeymoon. Renato defends his wife and scolds Rosie for entering the bedroom without knocking and tells her that between him and his wife there are no secrets. Rosie swallows her pride, apologizes and leaves. Aimee is so very thankful that Renato defended her. They kiss.

* Rosie is crying a river in the patio hallway. Arcadio walks by - he’s in an impossible horrible mood himself. He yells his disgust over everything and everyone at the ranch. He gets no respect at all. He stops his ranting to see she’s still crying. She finally opens up and confides in him how her she is that Renato is treating her like a common servant. (Hello, you are a upper class handmaid!)

* Leona, Noel, Regina, and Rodrigo have a welcome home dinner for the newlyweds. Rodrigo proposes a toast to Renato and Aimee. Leona continues with the toasting and gives her wishful blessing for Renato and Aimee’s future family.

* Rosie continues to cry on Arcadio’s shoulder about Aimee and her lies to Renato. Arcadio reminds Rosie that Aimee is now the lady of the house. Rosie declares that title is Leona’s and only Leona’s. Arcadio scolds her and reminds her that Aimee is Renato’s wife an as such she is the new lady of the house. He leaves.

* Felipe is at the casino stage, introducing the new production for the night. Bridget is alone on stage to do the silent film saloon show.

* Rod informs Leona and the family that he isn’t hungry because Rosie served him his soup earlier in his room. Leona rolls her eyes and breaths deeply. Rod then talks with Renato and Aimee about the ranch and another investment idea for Aimee’s money.

* More from Bridget and her silent film saloon act at the casino.

* Noel argues with Rod about the investment idea and tells Aimee she doesn’t have to go along with it. Aimee says that now isn’t the time to discuss those matters and tells her dad when she needs his advice about investments, she will ask him. Rod tells her not to take too long; this investment won’t be available forever. Renato changes the subject and makes a toast, then announces to everyone that he plans on making some major changes to the operation of the ranch. Everyone’s curious. Renato will reveal the plans tomorrow. Noel congratulations his son (he is one very proud papa).

* Meanwhile in Veracruz:
Gabriel is visiting Jimena at the gypsy circus camp. Jimena is trying to get the courage to tell Gabriel the truth about her being Estrella - she remembers Juan’s advice to tell him the truth - she starts to find the words to tell Gabe everything but Auntie Griselda interrupts. Jimena gets cold feet and tells Gabe that she and Estrella are best friends and she will definitely give her the letter. Gabe is frustrated but accepts the story and leaves. Auntie G wants to know about the letter - Jimena has a cover story for her about love. Auntie G tells her that gypsies don’t fall in love - it isn’t part of the gypsy way of life.

* Man and wife discuss their regrets and frustrations over losing their daughter so many years ago. Flashback to Lady (Mariela) and daughter (Angela) at a garden party. Mariela sits down and watches Angela run off to play. Angela runs too close to the trees and bushes - Servando and Griselda snag her and kidnap her. Mariela looks around and screams for Angela. Man and wife discuss Mariela’s heartbreak over losing Angela and never finding her or seeing her again.

* The silent film saloon performance continues on the casino stage as our fearless threesome tonight (Raul, Fulgencio and Federico) sit and discuss business and gossip over drinks. Federico tells them that Regina has officially let him try and court her now. Raul is happy for him. They then discuss Juan and Sr. Aldama. Fulgencio thinks it may be good to do business with Juan - Raul doesn’t like the idea. Fulgencio doesn’t care and is willing to go for it. Raul leaves. Fulgencio and Federico wonder what his problem is with Juan.

* Rod sits in his dark bedroom - he thinks about turning on a light but doesn’t. Rosie pops up behind him on the bed and starts to seduce and make love with him. (UGH!)

* At breakfast, Renato announces to the family he has hired a new administrator. Rod and Leona are aghast. Renato then goes to the door and introduces Juan San Roman to the family as the new administrator. Rod goes ballistic - he will not tolerate this! He wants to leave the ranch for town and never return as long as Juan is there! He stomps out of the room. Leona runs after him. Noel is proud of his son’s decision. Juan excuses himself from the room. Renato turns to Regina for some support but she just stares at him, and then asks Aimee for her opinion. Aimee says she wasn’t consulted. Renato stands by his decision. Noel applauds him and supports the decision then leaves. Regina tells Renato that he is in charge so she will have to accept the decision then asks to speak with her sister in private. Renato obliges and leaves.

* Renato finds Juan in the front entry and tells Juan not to worry, he still has the position.

* In the bedroom, Rod is still miffed and starts to try to pack up. Leona fights and tries to convince him to change his mind and stay. Noel barges in and Leona and Rod separate quickly. Noel tries to convince Rod that Juan is only a hired employee to help run the ranch, that is all. Nothing has to change. Rod is firm in his beliefs and won’t change his mind about leaving or about Juan.

* Regina and Aimee argue about Renato hiring Juan at the ranch. Regina thinks Aimee should say something to Renato about it. Aimee won’t do that. Regina reminds her about all the sacrifices she’s made for Aimee and wants Aimee to now sacrifice something for her. Ha! Aimee laughs at the thought. Regina grows upset and frustrated with her sister’s holier-than-everyone-else attitude. Aimee reminds Regina that she is now married to Renato for life and the ranch is her home; if she doesn’t like it she can leave with Daddy. Regina vows never to leave and to become Aimee’s shadow and conscience and won’t stop until Aimee has Renato’s child. Just at that moment, Renato enters and asks Regina to explain what she means about being someone’s conscience. He wants to know if she is accusing his wife of something. Regina stops and thinks before coming up with a cover story to deflect suspicion. Renato accepts the cover story, and asks about her support for Juan as the administrator. Regina excuses herself and leaves. Aimee turns to Renato and tells him, ‘see! what did I tell you? my sister is so totally interested in Juan!’

* Juan stops Santa Regina in the front hallway. Regina hates that nickname. Juan tells her that he has always liked her since they first met on the ship. Regina wonders what he wants. He says to get Aimee to explain her deception scheme to him. She wonders why did he have Renato hire him as the new administrator? Juan comments. She wants him to do what he has to do and disappear.

ADVANCE: Juan on horseback riding through the finca brush, grumbling about Aimee’s flirtatious deception.
