Caray, Caray!

I apologize if there are lots of mistakes in this one as I wanted to post the first hour and will get the second one up in the morning.

Marco is telling Chavez he doesn’t know the real Ale. She is not only a faithful woman but one with high standards. She would never be interested in someone like Rafa. Chavez says if that’s what you want to believe. Then Marco angrily says if there was anything between them Rafa is a dead man.

Ale tells Susana that she hopes Marco doesn’t suspect any thing. However he was quite upset about finding Rafas’ shirt in her luggage. She feels his reaction was one more of hate than jealousy. Susana believes that Marco really doesn’t know Ale. Ale, quite blitzed, says anyway, we are each going our separate ways. Rafa is leaving and I am getting married in two days.

Now we have our second pair of drinking buddies. Jaimie and Rafa. Jaimie wants to know what his plans are once he is free. He says he will have some money and a new car, so at least he can look for another job.

Then Jaimie very cautiously asks Rafa what he is going to do about Vicky. Rafa says it is next to impossible to get out of that relationship. In spite of her family, her constant calls and her jealously it wouldn’t be right to treat her badly. He goes on to say after his mother and sister, Vicky and Jaimie are the most trusted people in his life. Jaimie full of guilt downs his drink and asks for another. Rafa wants to know what’s up, Jaimie doesn’t drink.

Jaimie decides it is confession time. He hems and haws trying to tell Rafa about Vicky and in walk the BG’s and grab Jaimie by the neck of his shirt accusing him of kissing Vicky. Rafa is furious and the boys have brought enough rope to hang poor Jaimie from the light fixture with Rafas’ blessing. Then Jaimie comes to his senses after his little daydream and decides it best not to stir that nest of hornets. He opts not to confess.

It is morning and Ale has woken with quite the hangover. She hesitates a while about giving Rafa one final call, takes a swig of what appears to be alka seltzer and dials Rafas’ number. Rafa anxiously answers the phone. Ale trying to be all business tells him she will meet him at the office. Rafa sadly reminds her this will be her last call. Still trying her hardest to be strong she tells Rafa yes and hangs up. We see a very sad Rafa and Ale trying not to cry.

Downstairs we have some pre-wedding preparation madness. Tia is shouting orders to Azucena and Jorge has mistaken a worker for an intruder and jumps him. When Ale enters Tia is very surprised that Ale would go to work when she is getting married tomorrow. Ale tells her she has to finalize an important deal and they can talk tonight. Tia feels she doesn’t have the same enthusiasm for the wedding that she had before. (That tia sure is perceptive). Ale tells her she will deal with everything first thing in the morning. And goes to leave. Not before a sweet little hug and even sweeter chat from Jorge.

Rafas’ phone rings and it is Mickey mouse (That’s Vicky for those of you who do not recognize her voice yet). She wants to know when he will be home. Rafa reminds her it is his last day. She wants him home early, after all they have pre-wedding plans to discuss. Surprisingly Rafa blows her off until tomorrow telling her today is impossible. After he hangs up he looks up and asks god “ What debt do I owe you?‘

Now we see Ale with one heavy duty hangover and headache remembering happier times and they are not with Marco. She is remembering the kiss with Rafa. She smiles and we hear a knock on the door. It is Rafa. Ale is all business and Rafa is all nerves. Ale tells him that after today he won’t have to return to Siglo except to get his commission in which case he can just leave it with Susana. He will also have to come up with a good reason for quitting and hand in his resignation. It would be best to give it to Ale instead of Beltran. That way Beltran won’t try and talk him out of quitting. She tells him she won’t be coming in to work tomorrow. She starts to stutter because of her wedding, but catches herself. They both look very sad.

Rafa wants to know what he should tell the rest of the crew. (More is said that I didn’t catch) and Rafa takes Ales’ hand. She smiles looking at Ale and in walks Susana to spoil this very sweet but brief moment. They pretend that Rafa was trying to take a splinter out of Ales’ hand. Susana reminds her about the meeting in the conference room. Ale is all a twitter and tells Susana she needs to take care of their business expenses from their trip. She has other things she needs to discuss with her but Susana begs off saying she is dying of thirst and leaves. Rafa and Ale are left alone with dead and awkward silence.





Dandy approaches Susana and wants to know where the girl with the purest soul in the universe is going. Dandy is all excited about having a repeat performance of their previous night together. Susana shushes him and warns him they can‘t talk about those things at work. Dandy notices that Susana does not look the best and wants to know what‘s up. Susana admits to going out drinking with Ale. Dandy gives a look of disbelieve . Susan doesn’t get why people want to drink. She feels horrible. Dandy wants to know how Miss perfect follower of good health could be out drinking and not to mention, without him. Then he wants to know what Ale has that he doesn’t. She tells him depression. They are interrupted by Ale and Rafa.


Ale and Rafa enter the meeting together. The Siglo crew start in with all their little chides. Ale wants to talk about their work reports when in walks Beltran. He wants to hear good news and that is what he got. Congratulations are shouted out and Beltran starts singing Rafas’ praises. Marino looks like he is about to be sick. Rafa reminds Beltran that Ale was instrumental. Beltran wants applause. For the both of them. Marino is looking none to pleased. And of course Beltran wants everyone to applaud Claudia. Beltran reminds Rafa about winning the car. Marino is doubled over in pain and Rafa throws him the bottle of pepto bismo.

Beltran wants to know when they sign the paper. Ale informs him that they will be meeting tonight . Beltran leaves, a very happy man. As Ale walks by Rafa she very sweetly but discreetly congratulates him. She does a cute little pantomime of driving a car. Marino turns to Bow-tie guy reminding him that they still haven’t signed all the papers. Bow-tie guy tells him it is pretty much a done deal. Marino can’t let that happen. He tells Bow-tie guy Rafa can’t get away with his car. He has a very sinister look on his face.


Susana has just turned in Rafa and Ales’ expense accounts to Clara the bookkeeper. She wants to know how many days they were gone. Susan tells her three and she seems quite impressed that it was so cheap.


We are back at the meeting. Nobody has met their projected sales. Ale has a little math lesson with Claudia who can’t subtract. Then Ale wants to know what’s up with Claudia missing a couple of her appointments. Ale wants to know where she was. Claudia lies and said she had a Dr’s appointment. Ale isn’t buying this and we have a flashback of Claudias’ little tryst with Marco.

Susana is going over the expense reports with Clara. Clara is a little puzzled about one of the nights that Ale wasn’t registered at the hotel.


Jaimie is kidnapped by Vickie. She wants to know what He and Rafa talked about. We have more of her insanity. The kissing then the pushing away. Then she tells him she wants him to stand up for them at the wedding.


Our hymn is being sung. Rafa sings with gusto. Ale rubs her temples at the end and tells them to sell. They all leave congratulating Rafa as they walk by him. As Ale walks by she sarcasticly calls him “Pajarito” and leaves.

Jaimie is telling Vicky he doesn’t think it is a good idea that he stand up for them at the wedding. Vicky is in her own little world humming the wedding song. He is still trying to convince her that he can’t do it especially after what they did. Vicky crazier than ever starts her little game and kisses him again. She asks him if he cares for her. He stammers and she grabs him by the neck asking if he cares for her. She pushes him out the door and tells him to leave.

A very confused Jaimie runs into Julieta. She wants to know if he can help her with something. Jaimie very firmly tells her no. She wants to know what’s up he never tells her no. He tells her to get use to it, as he looks back at where he left Vicky. He continues on his little rant of defiance and takes off. Juliette looks quite confused.

We have the Siglo crew all admiring Rafas’ car. Rafa is in another world and not paying any attention. Dandy says something and the general reminds him he is committed . (The Susana deal) . Rafa wants to know with whom. Bebe congratulates him on his great sale and Rafa is touched by his sincere words. . Marino full of sour grapes insults him and walks away. When Ramiro tells him he’s not being very nice he returns and spits on the floor in front of Rafa. Everyone is repulsed by this as Marino walks away.

They all continue on. They each say their little piece. Rafa is still not paying any attention Than Claudia wants to know how he got along with Ale. This sets Rafa off and he wants to know what she is getting at. At this point Marino chimes back in and wants to know why the deal took three days to finalize. This really sets Rafa off and now he wants to know what Marino is insinuating. Dandy tries to calm Rafa down.




They are still going at it verbally when Ale walks in and firmly puts an end to it. She tells them to all get back to work. They all start shuffling around and Ale gets pushed up against Rafa. She pulls away quickly, but smiles sweetly and tells him he has a beautiful car. She leaves and Rafa is still lost in thought.

We have more gossip instigated by the General. She thinks there is something odd going on between Rafa and Ale. Marino tells everyone he has a way of finding out.

Rafa and Ale are trying to get their story straight before they talk to Beltran. Ale has it all planned out as to what they will tell him. She pleads with him not to tell Beltran they were pretending to be married. Rafa assures her he won’t say anything.


Beltran is ecstatic to see them. He offers them something to drink and treats them like royalty. Ale is all business and gives him the papers to sign. Beltran reads over the contracts and is one happy man with the sound of jingly money in the background. It’s like Santa Claus. Both Ale and Rafa look confused.


Beltran is still drunk with happiness at all the money Rafa has just made for him. He wants to know what Rafa is going to do with his commission. Rafa says he won’t have to much left with all his debts. Ale playing very innocent can’t imagine that. He reminds him about the car.

( I got a little confused with this scene. So help me out if I got it wrong.) Beltran asks where to sign the contract and Ale says at the bottom. Rafa nudges her and she realizes she had misunderstood him and says they still need the final signature from Refri. They are going to meet in a restaurant tonight. Beltran wants to be kept informed so he can meet them at the restaurant. Rafa and Ale both look at each other and say “Meet us there?” Beltran thinks it is so cute that they answered at the same time and tells them they make a cute pair. Rafa is all smiles, Ale not so much. He calls them a cute couple.

Beltran is all excited about meeting them at the restaurant to sign. Ale frantically tries to talk him out of this. She tells him that is not necessary. He says he really wants to shake every ones hand that were involved in making him so much money.

Both Ale and Rafa realize there is no way of talking Beltran out of coming and argue amongst themselves who is going to tell him the truth. Ale is elected by default and admits to pretending to be married. Beltran is taken back.

Now we have Marino up to no good. He enters the office of Clara our young bookkeeper. It turns out she is happily married, but had a little tryst with Marino resulting in an addition to his already to large family. She doesn’t want her husband to find out that Marino is the papa, and Marino blackmails her into giving him a copy of Rafa and Ales’ expense accounts. ( what an icky guy that Marino is!!!)



Beltran is quite impressed with the resourcefulness of our “cute couple” after he listens to their explanation. As long as they made the sale and the customers are happy what else matters. He wants to know what they plan to do now. Ale says she will take over. He was curious to know if they shared a bed together. They both get flustered with this and Rafa tries to explain. Beltran says he knows nothing went on after all Ale is going to get married tomorrow.
