Caray, Caray!

We start out with Ale chewing out Rafa . She is upset with him for boasting at the meeting how much he was going to sell. He tells her that she is the one pressuring him to sell so much. She tells him not to be delusional . She tells him to forget about this sale and that he needs to make a retraction tomorrow.


The phone rings. Ale thinks it is Vicky. She tells Rafa she is not going to stick around while he talks to her. Rafa tells her it is not Vicky, It is Lemaitre . He tells Rafa that he reads cigarettes really well and wants some quotes from him. He will have his secretary send him the specifications for the 70 trucks he will need.

After he hangs up he tells Ale the good news. They are both so excited and start jumping up and down hugging each other very tightly. Rafa gets a little carried away and Ale comes to her senses and pulls away from Rafa.

Rafa tells Ale he needs to call Lemaitres‘ secretary for all the details. He is so excited that if he makes this sale it will solve both their problems. Ale sadly says yes then we won’t have to see each other again. Rafa has lost a little enthusiasm and agrees. As he leaves Ale says a little prayer that Rafa will be successful and that they won’t have to see each other, but this is said with a hint of sadness.

Ramiro is on the phone with Rafa approaching him. Ramiro tells him it is Vicky. Rafa tells him to tell her he will call her back. Rafa gets in touch with Lemaitres’ secretary to get more details. She says she will fax what she needs to Rafa. This was a kind of cute little scene with Ramiro running around trying to get the fax number for Rafa.

We have a quick moment with Marco and Chavez at an outdoor restaurant. Marco is talking to Ale, confirming their plans for the night. He senses that she is not all that psyched and asks her what’s wrong. She says nothing's wrong. She says there are just some pending issues with Rafa and a potential sale that will solve all their problems. Marco is quite pleased to hear this as it means the criminal won’t be hanging around Siglo anymore. Ale tells him not to get too excited because there is lots left to do. As she hangs up she looks sad.

The faxes have arrived and Rafa is trying to sort it all out. There is a questionnaire that needs to be filled out. He tells Susana it looks very complicated and she suggests he go and ask Ale for help. Rafa approaches Ale and asks for her help with the questionnaire. Ale being Ale cant help but get a little dig in and reminds him about how he tried to fill out his resignation. They should hide the pens from him.

She finally tells him she is more than willing to help to make sure this sale goes through. Ale is sitting and Rafa is looking over her shoulder at the details. They are very close. Ale gets all excited when she reads the request for 70 units (trucks) . The warm fuzzy feeling leaves Ale when she realizes that Rafa has offered a 4% discount instead of 2 percent.

We change scenery and are poolside with Julieta and her rich friends. It is just the girls hanging out. The maid approaches and says the boys are wanting to know if they can come in. Julieta jumps up and says if they come in I am leaving. Then we get our painful little flashback of the guy that came on way to strong with her and we see Julieta slapping the guy and giving him what for. We have a long discussion about adolescent boys and what they are all after. Julieta finally agrees to let the boys in, but not to expect her to be nice to them.

Ale and Rafa are still discussing the issue of the discount they will be offering. Ale tries to explain to Rafa that it will make a huge difference in what his commission will end up being. Rafa explains to her it was the only way he could convince Lemaitre to deal with him. He is begging Ale to consider this. She finally tells him the decision is not up to her but Beltran. Then he questions if she really is in such a hurry to get rid of him. Ale is offended and says of course I am in a hurry and heads for the door, but not without looking back with sad puppy eyes at Rafa. We see the same look on Rafas’ face once she leaves.

We see a nurse leaning over Beltran handing out boobs, oops I mean pills to Beltran. He is going on about his perforated liver and other maladies of a stressed out man. Ale walks in and wants to talk with him. Beltran says you came to tell me horrible things about the bad sales like a lethal injection. Ale is all smiles and says no it is a good thing. He tells her to be careful and not toy with him. She tells him that Rafa has talked with Refri and they want to buy 70 trucks from them. This has cheered him immensely, as he stutters what?


Beltran is very happy shouting Rafas’ praise and says he has the power to cure. Now he wants facts from Ale. He is not all that happy about the discount Rafa has offered. He goes back to sucking on his oxygen. Ale convinces Beltran that this was the only way they could seal the deal. She reminds him that this will insure that Refri will be a permanent client. Beltran finally agrees to the discount.

We are once again poolside and the boys are now in the picture. Minus the young lad that tried to get free with Julieta. We have a new prospect. His name is Jordi and he is all polite and immediately heads towards Julieta. Jordi wants to know if she has a boyfriend. Julieta is flustered with this and says not exactly. Her friend chimes up she has lots of prospects and our new charmer wants to be added to her list.


Rafa is pacing nervously in Ales office as she enters. He wants to know what Beltran said. She says before or after he had his heart attack. She tells him he agreed and Rafa grabs Ale for a moment and suddenly lets go.

Now we see Dandy sniffing around Susana. He almost lands on top of her surprising the heck out of her. He tells her she smells delicious. He asks her if she likes the oil and she says she loves it and wants to know if she could get more. Rafa rushes up to Susana to ask for help. He spies Dandy hanging around Susana and gives him a what the heck is up look. Dandy leaves and Rafa gives Susana an approving smile.


Susana wants to know what Rafa needs. He wants her to fax documents to Refri but at the speed of light. He is pacing back and forth and just a bundle of nervous energy. Susana tells Rafa to take a big breath and calm down.

Back at the pool. Jordi is chatting with the boys and he is quite impressed with Julieta. He had not noticed before at school how fine she was. The guys warn him that she is a bit up-tight. He tells them there isn’t a girl that can resist him. Jordi bets them 1000 barros (I think that is pesos but not certain) that not only will he win her over but he will get her in bed as well.

Bebe gives Rafa the phone. It is Vicky. She rags on him for not calling and for not taking her calls. She wants to know about the big sales. She wonders if it is still on. Rafa says yes it is and that is why he has been so busy. Vicky is all excited thinking if he makes the sale he won’t have to continue on at Siglo. Rafa sadly says it probably wont be necessary. Vicky is jumping for joy. (My picture went out at this time and I only had dialogue with no CC and I think I missed most of this conversation. What a shame).

Vicky is going on about the dinner she has planned for him tonight with the whole family. She tells him he better show up. Rafa reluctantly agrees.




Now we are at Vickys‘. The brothers enter carrying huge platters of meat. They are getting ready for the big family reunion. They want to know if Rafa is bagged out again. Vicky assures them he will be there and will tell everyone about his great deal he has going on. And how much money he will be making and how he will be able to pay off his debt. They make fun of her. She blows them off and says something like they would have to work in the kitchen for a hundred years to make that kind of money and walks off.



Rafa is talking with Bebe about his big sale. Bebe congratulates him and tells him to enjoy the huge commission he will be receiving. Rafa gets a call from Refri . They are happy with the quotes and want to meet with Rafa Tomorrow.

Rafa goes to tell Ale that Refri accepted the quotes and wants a meeting. Ale is all excited that it is practically a done deal. She wants to know when and where the meeting will be. It will be at Playa Estrella at eight in the morning. He tells Ale he has to leave right away. It is going to take him at least 6 or 8 hours to get there by bus. Ale tells him he cant go there by bus. Rafa is protesting and says you don’t expect me to walk do you?

Ale tells him he needs to fly. ( Any bets on if Rafa has ever flown before? ) Rafa looks very worried and makes gestures as if a plane is going down. Ale sweetly teases him about this. Then she calls for Susana to make reservations. Susana says she will need the okay from Beltran first. Ale tells her to get started and she will go talk to Beltran. As she leaves she is smiling and she tells Rafa he is brilliant. Rafa has a very panicked look on his face.

We are at the salon having lunch with our good friends B&V and Ovi. I think they are talking about what she has in her house. They are surprised when she tells them she is very conservative. She says something about having pictures of all her boyfriends. V is worried she might get them confused when they call. I really didn’t get much more of this conversation but there was a reference to Bougainvillea.

Ale gets Beltrans’ approval for the trip but not without some grief first. And he wants to make sure Rafa will be at a budget motel. He makes a comment regarding how much money Rafa will make from this commission and we see a smile across Ales’ face. He wants to be sure there will be detailed receipts of everything. As Ale leaves Beltran ponders the image of Rafa on the beach.


We have an interesting bar scene with Jorges’ old friend. ( I can’t remember his name but he is the one who drove Jorge to the Hacienda). He is discussing with one of his mates the goings on at the Hacienda. He is convinced it isn’t ghosts that Jorge saw. He also believes that it wasn’t a hallucination or dream Jorge had (Remember the hotties).

Friend believes that someone is taking advantage of the situation. And it is someone with money. Those costumed girls weren’t cheap. He knows the hacienda was in financial troubles but it should be making money by now. He knows the money isn’t going to the Aunt or to Ale. They even wonder if the future son-in-law (Marco) might be up to something. Friend thinks this is a possibility . The Friend is going to get to the bottom of it. And if he finds anything out some one is going to have to pay for his silence.

We are at Rafas' house. Jordi comes a courting with flowers chocolates and stuffed animals. As he enters the house he is not impressed with its appearance but he tells himself he doesn’t have to marry her. Jaime shows up and wants to know who the kid his. He chimes up he is the boyfriend and grabs at Julieta. Jaime does not look happy and Julieta looks embarrassed.


She quickly disentangles herself from the leech and says he isn’t her boyfriend. Jordi admits that he isn’t her boyfriend but wouldn’t mind becoming her boyfriend. Jaime isn’t having any of this and practically kicks the young man out. (Good going Jaimie).

Our two local cops stop Rosaura and want to give her a ticket for parking in an illegal spot. Rosaura complains there wasn’t any where else to park. They are going to fine her but Rosaura says she doesn’t have any money. She tells them that when she lived in the states she did not need to carry money around. She ends up moving her car.

Ramiro is visiting the sex therapist. He admits to having intimacy problems with his wife. She tells him she is not his mother but the mother of his children. She tells him he has to recuperate his intimacy with her. She gives him advice on how to recapture this. She starts massaging his shoulders to relax him and tells him if he is worried about his wife finding out, he doesn’t have to tell her about them. Poor Ramiro misunderstands her and thinks she is coming on to him. She corrects him and tells him he needs to rediscover the intimacy with his wife. He is lost in thoughts of her legs. As he leaves she reminds him to do his homework.


Our final scene is of Ale asking Susana if she has gotten Rafas’ tickets yet. She reminds Susana to get him a modest hotel and not one on the beach. Susana wants to know if once the sale is done if Rafa is still going to be around. Ale says he wants to leave as soon as possible and that is fine by her. Susana can’t imagine Siglo wanting to loose such a fine sales person. Then we start having some Ale trash talk and Poor Rafa is sitting in her office hearing all of this. She goes on to say that if Rafa continues working at Siglo after this sale they will have to call an ambulance to recover the body.


Susana also reminds Ale that she found a lawyer for her to investigate what is going on at the hacienda. The appointment is for 3 pm tomorrow. Ale thanks her for this and tells her to reconfirm it.

Ale enters her office and Rafa is sitting there with a very sad hurt look on his face. She tells Rafa Beltran okayed the trip. Rafa wants to know what’s next. She says you go and close the deal. Then you come back and sign over the check to me. Your lawyer takes care of the documents regarding the debt and then “Colorin Colorado este cuento se acabado” This story is finished, In other words they will be finished with having to deal with one another. And that’s where we end tonight.
