Caray, Caray!

We last saw our star-crossed lovers tenderly kissing one another. Sadly what we had witnessed and had to wait 24 hours to find out, was none other than a cheap telenovela trick. Ale is brought back to reality from her daydream by Rafa’s voice asking her how she is. She inquires about Monterrey. He asks her if she got married and informs her that he didn‘t get married. (well that reality bites.) He wants to know if she is happy and we get a fake little smile and she tells him of course she is happy. Rafa asks her about the honeymoon and Ale not wanting to get into details changes the subject and tells him they need to go to the meeting. We hear Ale think to herself “If you only knew how much I love you and missed you.”

Chespis is also curious how things went in Monterrey. Marian tells her things were great and we get a music travelogue sang by none other than Rafa. Great song and great scenes of Monterrey. (Could have been better if Ale had been there instead of Marian. ) When the song ends Marian tells Chespis that everything was perfect until Daniel showed up and they couldn’t get rid of him. Chespis tells Marian that Daniel is not so bad and very handsome. Marian says if you like him so much I will give him to you. She continues that she does like Daniel but her heart is with Rafa. Chespis wants to know if she is sure she is in love with Rafa.

Ale is telling Susana to get everyone ready for the meeting when the “disappeared finally appears” . It is Zetina. We get some more antics by the Siglo crew. They wonder how they are suppose to remember his name if he doesn’t work there anymore. We also have Marino giving Ramiro a bad time. Dandy tries to talk with his Nonincita and is quickly reprimanded by Susana who tells him it is “Susana” to him. She walks away cutting off his attempts to talk, telling him she has to get to the meeting. A dejected Dandy is left alone saying “I will never give up because I love you.” (strike one)

Rafa is telling Zetina he is very disappointed in him. Zetina gives a sad story about his dog being sick and he had to take him to the vet. Rafa chides him about this and Zetina goes on to say his dog is the only thing he has. He tells Rafa he won’t let him down. Rafa gives him another chance and tells him he wants him to follow Marco and take pictures of where he goes and who he goes with. Zetina says “even with his wife?” Rafa answers even with his wife. Zetina wants to know if Rafa knows his wife. Rafa tells him of course he knows who it is. It is Ale.

Ale is leading our Siglo meeting. She is telling everyone they have to work harder to meet their sales quotas. She is ready to end the meeting with the traditional Siglo Anthem. The crew is not as anxious to leave without a little gossip about her wedding. Bebe tells them it is none of their business. Ale tells them it was just a civil ceremony. They did not take a honeymoon because they did not have enough money. Rosaura perceptively tells her she doesn’t exactly look like a happy bride. Ale is saved from all their questions when Doña Arcadia arrives and invites everyone to a fiesta at her place in Cuernavaca.

Chavez and Marco are having a get together. Chavez seems quite surprised to find out that Marco did not spend his wedding night with his new (flamate/ brand new or brilliant) wife. Marco grabs him by the lapel and tells him to shut up. And to not talk in that tone as if he has committed a crime. Chavez said it wasn’t an act of crime but more like an act of a coward. Marco asks him what he would want him to do “ Sleep with her and at any moment see that jerk Medina kissing her and hugging her?” Marco is all worked up and Chavez tries to calm him down. He tells Marco “if your wife doesn’t protest this than why should I?” Marco tells Chavez that is what bothers him the most that Ale isn’t very insistent about the whole thing. Chavez tells him “who could blame her, who wants to spend the night with a lunatic” (orate). Chavez giggles a bit to Marcos dismay and tells him that he finds it all a bit entertaining.

Chavez than asks if this means the honeymoon was postponed. Marco does a “Duh ya think?” He had to leave the tickets to Brazil “open” as they haven’t set a date yet to leave. Chavez asks him if his “wife agreed with this. Marco says she was in such agreement that she returned to work at Siglo. Chavez drops his coffee cup and spills it all over Marco at hearing this. He says “are you telling me that Medina will be able to try and invade your territory again?” Marco wiping himself off tells Chavez he has nothing to worry about. Ale has assured him that he has nothing to worry about. She is his wife and she will respect him. Chavez is not so certain. Marco says “look imbecile I trust her.” Chavez tells him he doesn’t doubt Ale. He just doesn’t trust Rafa. He tells him “you leave a chicken alone in the chicken coop with a fox and tell him not to eat the chicken . Like that would happen Right?“ Marco looks justifiably worried.

Rosario has made a scarf for Quintana. He actually looks touched at her thoughtfulness. Rosario is filled with worries. She tells them they don’t know anything about Jorge. She is also very worried about Ale. She is married to one man but in love with another. Quintana takes all of this in. The talk turns to Chavez and the hatred she has for him. She tells Quintana if she sees him she will have him thrown in jail.

Creepy scene with Daniel and Marian. He has brought her flowers. She wonders if he is now interested in her again because he has competition since she hadn’t seen him for a while and now all of a sudden he is everywhere. He tells her that the car salesman is no competition for him. She tells him sadly the worse part is that Rafa isn’t interested in being competition for her. Sleazy Daniel reaches over to touch Marian’s hand and asks her if she is interested in Rafa . She tells him “yes. A lot.”

Marco is telling Chavez to stop with his stupid commentaries, he is not in the mood for his bad jokes. He tells Marco he understands, if he was in his shoes he wouldn‘t be in the mood for bad jokes neither. Marco tells Chavez what he needs to do is take Ale away. In order to do this he has to sell the hacienda. Chavez reminds him that he also needs money to pay off Carmen or she will cut his head off.

Marco tells Chavez they need someone they trust to pretend to buy the hacienda. Unfortunately the only one he knows that is more dishonest than himself is Chavez. Chavez sarcastically thanks him for that remark. He tells him he would love to be able to buy the hacienda but he doesn’t think he would be the best candidate. they have to find someone else. Marco tells them they need to find some one decent and not like that Frank guy. He asks Chavez if he doesn’t have any friends that look decent? Chavez doesn’t understand why they would need someone like that. Marco tells him they can’t present a ruffian to Jorge. It has to be someone that would not arouse any suspicion. Chavez gives this some thought and tells Marco he has the perfect person.

Rafa is giving Zetina his instructions, and Zetina assures him he wont let him down. He will be this guys shadow. Ale walks buy and trips over Zetina. He attempts to apologize and is met with Ale’s snootiness. As Zetina leaves Rafa calls after him to not forget what he is suppose to do. Ale than chides Rafa for wasting his time and not being at the meeting. Rafa tells her that Zetina is doing something very important for him. Ale continues her scolding when Pepito shows up and tells Rafa he needs to see him and the happy amigos whisk Rafa off for a little conference. Dandy stays behind to take another shot at talking to Susana but is quickly stopped by Ale who tells him to leave Susana alone. (strike two)

Susana and Ale are left alone to ponder what Zetina might want with Rafa. She tells Susana no matter how hard she tries to look at Rafa with good intentions she can’t because he always seems to be up to something. That’s why she can’t trust him again. Than she tells Susana to take care of her cold (gripa).


More Daniel and Marian. He can’t believe if he is interested in her he has to compete with the car salesman. Marian tells him he is only interested in her now, because she is interested in someone else. (More talk, not interested.)

Back at the boys club, Ramiro is telling Rafa about his encounter with Marco at the sex therapist office. Our boys wonder if Marco might be having some troubles in that area. In the meantime Doña Arcadia is trying to convince Beltran into coming to her birthday party. She informs him that she has invited all the Siglo crew. This worries Beltran. If everyone is at the party who will be left at Siglo. She tells him she thought they could just close up shop. Beltran is reduced to sucking on his oxygen mask at the thought of closing the store.

Now the real fun begins. Rosario and Quintana have entered the same restaurant as Chavez and Marco. A very anxious Marco spies them and suddenly grabs a perplexed Chavez by the lapels and tosses him into the chefs station. We hear all kinds of ruckus as plates drop and brake and everyone looks on in surprise.
Marco has managed to squelch his nerves somewhat and approaches Rosario. She asks him what he is doing there. He graciously invites them to sit down. Quintana asks him if he would like to join them. Marco tells him no. He was there having coffee with a friend, when he accidentally says Chavez he quickly corrects himself and says Urdiales. Not quick enough however as Quintana seems a little suspicious. We have a funny shot of Chavez on the other side of the divider all disheveled with a piece of fruit in is mouth. Rosario seems surprised to hear he was with Urdiales. Isn’t Urdiales away on a trip. Marco quickly states he just got back last night and hurriedly leaves to check up on Chavez. Rosario is puzzled and asks Quintana why Marco would leave through the kitchen.

Chavez is asking Marco why he had to resort to violence. Marco explains that Rosario and Quintana couldn’t see them together. They are interrupted by one of the cooks wanting to know who is going to pay for all the damages. Marco assures the young man that Chavez will take care of everything. A protesting Chavez is left to deal with the mess. He wants to know how much the plates were. The cook informs him he has to pay for the salad as well, as we see Chavez removing a piece of lettuce from his head, giving it a taste test and complaining it lacks oil.

Rafa is asking Ramiro why Marco would be seeing a sex therapist. Dandy explains that one would go see a sex therapist for only one reason. Because they don’t “function like a man.” Ramiro protests this and states this isn’t the case with him. Dandy wants to know if that isn’t his case why he would be there. Ramiro is spitting and stuttering when Rafa points out that they aren’t there to discuss Ramiro’s life. He wants to know “Why would Ale’s husband go see a sex therapist?’ Ramiro giggles as he fiddles with his tie and says “ Maybe he has problems there.” as he looks down. Rafa pointing downward repeats “por ahi” and they all start giggling. Then Rafa suddenly gives Ramiro a very pleased hug saying it would be just great that he hasn’t touched (tocado) his licenciada. Pepito tells Rafa there is more to tell. Ramiro informs him that Vicky was also there to see a psychologist. Rafa isn’t quite as happy to hear this news.

Rosario is telling Quintana that she doesn’t like the idea that Ale isn’t with Marco. Quintana tells her that this is an issue that Marco and Ale have to resolve themselves. Rosario tells him she isn’t trying to butt in , but she feels like Ale is a daughter to her. She only wants to see her happy. Quintana , half listening, tries to get a strangely disguised waiter to stop and get him a glass of water. The strangely disguised waiter is none other than Chavez trying to make a quick get away as he ignores the order and quickly walks past them. Rosario remarks that she doesn’t like this place. It has a strange vibe. “There is some strange things going on. Marco left through the kitchen, and the waiters are in costumes and don’t even pay attention to the clients.” Quintana gives this some thought and asks Rosario who did Marco say he was with? Rosario answers Urdiales. Quintana ponders this for a while.

Rafa has entered the office to find Ale busy at work. He asks if he can interrupt. Sarcastically Ale asks him if he has finished with his private meeting. Rafa gives an enthusiastic yes. Then he tells Ale that as long as they will be working together they should try really hard to get along. Rafa tells her he realizes she is a married women and he has no right to get close to her, but he would at least like to be her friend. Ale says in her “Ale” tone “You just want to be my friend?” She tells him she doesn’t believe him. Now it is Rafa’s turn to get a tone and sarcastically tells her he understands that she is very happy with her husband. Ale assures him she is, then asks “Do you doubt that?” He tells her he doesn’t doubt it, but he doesn’t see a happy face of a women who just got married. Ale tells him she is working and doesn’t have to have any kind of face.

Rafa continues on his little journey of questions and asks Ale if she is living with Marco. Ale chides him and tells him it is none of his business. He tells her it was just a simple question. He starts to leave than tells her he sold some trucks. Ale shoots back “Really? I thought you were going on this trip just to seduce women.” Rafa tells her he believes he will be able to give her quite a bit towards the debt he owes her.
Ale tells him she can’t wait. Than she won’t have to see him any more. Rafa seems offended by this and tells her he knows she is a married women. He stops for a moment than tells her wistfully he still has hope.
Pensive and thoughtful glances are interrupted by a phone call. There is someone there to see her.

Our carpenter enters the office to tell them he is there to take care of their office. Ale is elated. She wants to have it so she doesn’t have to hear anything. The carpenter informs Ale Doña Arcadia wants him to put some type of glass containing wall between the two offices. (Un muro y una puerta de crista abatable/ I don‘t have a clue what that is). Rafa cheerfully tells him he has no problems with this, after all if that is what Beltran wants, as he looks at Ale smiling telling her at least they will still be able to see one another. Ale is not quite as happy as Rafa is.

Dandy makes another attempt to approach Susana. He is stopped before he can get close. He wants to know how she knew he was there. She tells him she could smell his disgusting aroma. Dandy gives himself a quick smell test. She asks him what he wants. He tells her he bought her a book and hands her a sweetly wrapped gift. It is a book about temple teachings and Buddhist reflections. (I think) Susana continues working paying no attention to Dandy. He tells her it was really hard to find it but he bought it with love just for her. She continues to ignore him and Dandy sets it on her desk and tells her he hopes she likes it. He leaves and Susana slowly raises her head, picks up the gift and smiles sweetly. We see Dandy peeking behind the glass patrician doing the funky eye thing and smiling. (Line drive to first base, and the crowd goes wild!!!)

We change scenes to another love sick puppy who has camped out in front of Juliette’s house. He is plastering “Te amo” posters every where. This attempt at reconciliation doesn’t go as smoothly as Dandy’s, as Juliette leaves her house only to trip over one of Jaimies camping chairs. Jaimie hears her fall and attempts to help her up. Juliette rushes off angrily, leaving Jaimie behind begging for her forgiveness.

Ale gets a phone call from Jorge. She is excited to hear from him. She asks him how he is. He tells her he is fine but he has a little problem. He is in Mexico but has landed at the wrong airport. He isn’t really certain where he is as he sniffs the air and says it smells like pork sausage (chorizo) he must be in Toluca. Ale smiling gives him instructions on how to make connections to get to Mexico City.

A veiled Vicky is pouring coffee for her papa. He wants to know how long she is going to continue to wear the veil. He tells her she needs to forget about Rafa and find something else to distract her. He asks her what the Dr. said. Vicky says “what Dr?’ He tells her the psychologist. She answers “I don’t know I wasn’t paying attention.” Then he tells her he thought it was quite strange to find Marco there. Vicky agrees. She says it can’t be easy to not be able to “function.” Don Gaston pities the poor women who would be his mate. Vicky says to herself this would be none other than Ale. This should be very interesting.

Ale has called Marco to let him know Jorge has arrived in Mexico. She asks him if he will go with her to the airport to get him. Marco happily agrees. As he hangs up he says to himself “The old man has returned. It would be great to see if he brings good news and tells me I will inherited a huge fortune.”
Marco says “life is Perfect.” Then looking down at himself, shaking his head adds “Well almost. But I will fix this little problem.”

Ale is packing her purse to leave when Rafa enters the office. He asks her if she is leaving. He asks if there are any problems and offers to take her where she needs to go. Ale smugly says no thank you. My husband is coming, as she waves her wedding band finger at him. Rafa is taken a back and tells her this was the first time he heard her say “her husband”. Again Ale waves her finger and coyly says, “Well that’s what he is. My Husband” Rafa tells her it is hard for him to accept that she is now married. Ale retorts “Well it wasn’t much work for you to take a trip with Marian.” Rafa explains to her that he went to Monterrey to sell some trucks. Ale tells him he doesn’t need to explain anything to her. Rafa replies well you asked. Ale tells him again she is married and he needs to respect her husband. She tells him he is a free man and he can do what ever he wants. Rafa sadly tells her he might be single but his heart belongs, and before he can finish his sentence is cut off by Ale. Again Rafa wants to know why they can’t be friends.

The conversation changes and Rafa wants to know when she will be leaving for Brazil. She tells him when he has finished paying her everything he owes her and when she gets married in the church. Rafa informs her that it wouldn’t be very convenient for him to pay her than because than she will leave and he will never see her again. Ale yells at him and tells him not to be so brazen (cinico). “You will pay me!” Rafa tells her he never would think not to pay her. He just can’t stand the thought of not seeing her any more. Even though she is married. Ale threatens, if he continues talking like that she has to leave. Rafa stops her and tells her she needs to answer just one question and he won’t bother her any more. He walks behind her and asks “Do you love your husband?” Ale is left thinking pensively.
