Caray, Caray!

We have a quick little recap of Vickys’ surprise welcome home party for Rafa. At our business diner Ale is wanting to talk business but Grabby tells them he feels bad for the manner in which they were treated. Ale reminds them their plane leaves in an hour and really wants to get down to business.

The stooges insist they stay. There is no way they can finalize the deal yet tonight. Why not stay until Sunday. Ale and Rafa come up with all kinds of family excuses. You know which ones, baptisms, communions, birthdays and such. Grabby says then stay at least until Saturday. Why not go yachting with them. They can talk business there.

Ale turns to Rafa for help in getting out of this. Rafa turns the tables on her and calls her his gorditta (chubby or fatty, but is used as a term of endearment but Ale does not find this very endearing) and says you decide. We hear Ales’ inner voice of disappointment at having to spend another night with Rafa. We hear Rafas’ inner voice of spending another night with Ale and it sounds more wistful.

Grabby says his boss will be very displeased if they do not accept their invitation. They finally relent and agree to stay until Saturday afternoon. He wants to know where they are staying. Rafa begins to tell them but Ale tries to stop him. Good thing Rafa spoke up . He tells them they had to leave in such a hurry that their secretary wasn’t able to get them a hotel up to their standards. Say no more. Grabby makes a call, and Bobs’ your uncle and they are staying in a 5 star hotel compliments of Refri. Ale gives Rafa the ole thumbs up.

Flores, one of the stooges, escorts them back to the Fleabag motel to collect their things. As Ale and Rafa ascend the “stairwell of lust” Flores looks on in disgust wondering how anyone could stay at such a disgusting place.

Once in the room Ale starts ragging on poor Rafa and blames him for the mess they are in. She has to suffer at being Mrs. Medina. Rafa tells her to calm down. The nightmare will be over tomorrow. Ale reminds him it is his nightmare too, which Rafa responds "no mine is still in Mexico" and starts to call Vicky. Ale full of self importance insists on calling Marco first. After all she too has a Parajarito. She tells Rafa to be quiet and behave while she makes her call.

Marco answers his phone very nervously. He is worried that she has already arrived at the airport and he is late. Once he finds out that Ale is still in Puerto Vallarta and won’t be coming back until tomorrow, he gets really ticked. Especially when he had to give up his hot night with Claudia. He hangs up screaming that he hates Ale with all his soul.

Now it is Rafas’ turn. Of course we have Ale pestering him the entire time. (She is obviously one of those “do as I say not as I do” people) Rafa makes the sign of the cross ( sorry that sure isn’t going to help) and dials. Vicky is all sweet and accommodating until she realizes Rafa is not returning tonight. We have a little balloon abuse and she calls Rafa a bad boyfriend and off she storms to her room. Her unfortunate guests are left shivering in terror. Poor Don Gaston is mortified at his daughters’ poor manners.

Rafa is asking Ale about playa Bonita. He seems a little anxious about having to go out on the yacht. He starts packing his suitcase taking random objects from the shelf including a large seashell. Ale takes the shell, but lets him keep the soap. Then she wants to know why he’s packing. Did he think she was going to let him stay at that 5 star hotel with her? Oh honey that’s not in her plan. He will go back with her check in then come back to the fleabag motel. She has it all planned including her explanation as to why they will have only one suitcase. The wife knows how to pack efficiently. (That’s the Ale we all know and love.)

Remember that massage Susana promised Dandy? Well it didn’t turn out like Dandy planned. We see them entering the Taj ma -hal (Susanas’ apartment). Susana tells a very eager Dandy to pick out an oil. So far so good. Then the door bell rings and in walks a brick of a man. Dandy looks very confused and a little frightened. Susana doesn’t understand his confusion. She thought she was very clear that they were both going to get separate massages from a professional. Susana excuses herself and goes to her room to read and meditate to allow him to disrobe in privacy, leaving poor Dandy to get parts of his body cracked he probably never knew could be cracked. We see Susana giggling to herself as Dandy yells out in pain.

Ale and Rafa have been safely escorted back to the Grand Hotel by Flores. Once he leaves Ale explains how it is going to be. She gives him money for a taxi and breakfast and expects change. She warns him not to go out and party. Rafa is offended that she would think he would go out and party. She tells him to be back at 0800. She reminds him they have to appear like a loving couple. Rafa proceeds to call her mamita. Ale is offended by this. She doesn’t approve of gordita either, so Rafa settles for just calling her the wife. They wander up to the receptionist posing as the perfect couple.

They sign in and Ale takes the key card from Rafa who seems a little confused that it isn’t actually a key. They continue their little charade as a loving couple and Ale excuses herself for more important thinks like the boutique. Rafa charmingly calls her is gordita and instantly corrects himself as Ale shoots him daggers. Rafa is left to finish registering . Rafa signs and the receptionist wants to know if the Mrs. will be signing as well. Rafa thinks it is best if Ale doesn’t sign . She gives Rafa a key as well to the room. He goes to leave and the receptionist tells him he is going the wrong way. Rafa tells her he just needs to go get some air . Unfortunately for Ale after Rafa leaves a new receptionist takes over.

Ale enters the room quite impressed. She calls Susana to give her updates. She tells her they will be staying another night but at least she will be in a hotel equal to her standing and by herself. She tells her she had to register as the wife of Medina. Susana seems confused and Ale tells her she will explain it all tomorrow. We hear poor Dandy screaming in pain in the background. When Ale wants to know what the racket is, Susana lies and tells her it is the tele.


Susana fills Ale in on Beltrans’ offer of a new car for the salesman of the month. She tells Ale he is a nervous wreck. Ale tells Susana to make sure everyone works while she is gone. After she fills Susan in on the plans for tomorrow including having to fraternize with the Refri guys on some yacht. But Ale will do anything just to make sure they sign the contract. She hangs up and leaves the room. Guess what she forgot? Her keycard.


We have out ritual salon scene. They are discussing the poor quality of television programming. There is not enough comedies or romantic stories. It is all blood guts and gore. Or something like that. Poor V. wasn’t even able to sleep last night. He saw some horror show about a woman butcher cutting up her poor husband into pieces (does that sound like our Vicky?) B. prefers the comic strips. Ovi complains that there are no decent people left. V. assures her there is and refers to Rafa (the sandwitchita from when they were all in Jail together). B & V both agree that Rafa is a great man and not some clown.

Said clown is now back at the fleabag motel getting all jazzed up from the street music. He is really getting into it when he remembers Ales’ warning about not partying. He wrestles with himself about responsibility. Oh the heck with responsibility and off he goes to join the fun. Of course instantly some young thing joins him.

Ale has finished all her transactions with the copier/fax machine. She realizes she forgot her keycard and ID in the room. Oh oh, now we have a little problem. The new receptionist does not remember her and Ale has not signed the register. How could she possibly just let anyone into the room. The receptionist suggests she find her husband. After all he has a keycard as well.

Ale is ticked and goes to call Rafa. Well that isn’t going to do her much good. Our responsible young Rafa has better things to concern himself with. He is oblivious to the ringing phone in his pants pocket as he dances like a wild man with our sweet young thing in a very short skirt.

This does not go over very well with a very enraged Ale. She knew he would be out partying. The receptionist tells her not to worry. She will have someone escort her to the room and get her key. Ale is too ticked at Rafa and redials his number. She says he is off in another dimension. Now it has become a mission for Ale to get Rafa to answer his phone. The poor receptionist continues to inform Ale that it isn’t a problem. Ale tells the receptionist not to worry it isn’t the hotels’ problem. It is going to be Rafas’ problem. She storms off saying he is going to hear me!!!!



Rocky has finished with Dandy. Dandy looks wrecked. Susana returns to the room and now it is her turn. She tells Dandy he can wait in her bedroom. After all she isn’t going to disrobe in front of him. Well this confuses our Dandy. Why would she disrobe in front of Rocky and not him. Silly, he is her massage therapist, Dandy is just her work mate. Our poor drained Dandy, barely able to walk, reluctantly retreats to Susanas’ bedroom; but not before attempting to sneak a peak. He can barely get to her bed. Once there we see him slumped over the bed in agony as he listens to Susana thoroughly enjoying her massage. His facial expressions are priceless.

Ale has made it back to Fleabag motel and asks the clerk if he has seen Rafa. No luck. She is now out on the street looking for him. She calls again but still no answer. She finally spies our little charmer with his new found friend dancing his little heart out. Ale does not look pleased.

Rocky is packing up his things and we see a very invigorated Susana thanking him for the great massage. She tells Dandy he can come back in. Dandy (I think) is under the impression that he still might get lucky to night. First Rocky has to get paid. It was only 1000 pesos. Dandy volunteers to pay. He goes to give Rocky the money but is short 1000 pesos. Oh yea 1000 pesos a piece. And don’t forget the tip.

Dandy goes to shake Rockys’ hand goodnight to the sound of cracking bones. (You can bet they are not Rockys’ bones that are cracking.) As Rocky goes to leave Susana has a great idea. Why not share a taxi. After all they live in the same neighborhood. Dandy can’t believe that Susana wants him to leave. Well what was he thinking?

Rafa is doing his little chicken dance and gets busted by a very angry Ale. She screams at him that she knew he would be out partying. He tells her it’s not what she thinks. He had to come down, the music was so loud what else was he to do. Then he has an idea. Why doesn’t she stay there and he will go up to the room that way she can be sure he will stay put.

Ale isn’t buying this. She’s not going to be his guard. She tells him to go get his things, he is going to go back with her so she can keep an eye on him. She left her key in the room and needs his. Rafa asks her why she didn’t just call him. (Wrong thing to say). Ale blasts at him because he was out doing the wild thing and couldn’t hear his phone ringing. She continues to rag on him and tells him to get going. Rafa rushes off to collect his things like the obedient little puppy he is.

That does not set well with our young thing. She wants to know if Ale is the wife or owner or girlfriend of our sweet Rafa. Ale sets her straight and tells her she is none of the three. Sweet young thing than wants to know what right she has to take him away. Ale tells her they are here on business and if he stays here and parties all night he will never show up for his meeting in the morning. Young thing pleads with Ale to let him stay just a little longer. She will return him good as new. Ale is outraged at this idea. Then the whole crowd starts chanting to let him stay.

Rafa has returned with luggage in hand and Ale informs him that his friends insist he stay a little longer. Rafa goes on the defense and says they are not his fiends he just met them.

Now young thing has the best idea of the night. Why doesn’t he sing? Now we hear chants of Sing!! Sing!!. Ale informs everyone that the king, after a couple of drinks will sing what ever and even vomit.

Okay well then just have a couple of drinks, sing for a while than leave. Two drinks are instantly brought over. Rafa is contemplating his and Ale downs hers like a pro and grabs Rafas’ as well and shouts at him to sing. Now we have a young stud offering to keep Ale company while Rafa sings. Rafa is not too keen on this idea. But Ale leads young stud away and chants with the crowd for Rafa to sing.


Rafa begins to sing and through the whole song we see Ale with her young stud. He is putting the moves on her. She is pretending to not be bothered by this when ever Rafa looks her way. When Rafa isn’t looking you can tell Ale is not liking his attentions one bit. The song ends as Rafa looks out to see Ale seemingly enjoying her young mans company. Rafa doesn’t look happy.
