Caray, Caray!

• Rafa's lecture on successful relationships continues from yesterday (turns out he was hauled in because he was confused with Lombardo Medina, the intended speaker). "Treat your wife as well as you treat your car; love is a big accident; we collide with our beloved; we have to pay a deductible; love with patience!" (Which last bit of wisdom goes well with the advice Ale's ghost mama gave her: "Learn to forgive.")
  
  He gets a standing ovation. Marian gets all mushy. Outside, a young couple gushes to him: you saved our marriage!
  
  Marian points out they have completely missed the meeting they were in a hurry to attend, but he'll get another chance to unload the trucks later.
  
  Meanwhile, she takes him on a tour of the city, adding kisses when possible. In Monterrey, the vaccine for vitiligo (bleaching of skin color) was invented. They eat goat. FF>>
  
  Some musicians who are ostentatiously idle, wandering around carrying instruments and wearing violently pink jackets, mosey up to our happy pareja. It just sort of happens that Rafa sings a song with them, it has great rhythm: "I'm the fizz." Closeup of his awful footwork. FF>>
  
  
• Vicky defensively tells Marco, in the sexologist's waiting room, that little incidents such as her wedding foul-up "happen in the best families."
  
  Jimenez comes out floating on air, my goodness what's going on behind the sexologist's door, no don't tell me I don't want to know, then it's Marco's turn. It's not lost on him that Vicki's dad has a lotta lana.
  
  
• Ale counts her share of the money, complaining that it's cash again. Beltran and Arcadia are happy she's back, that their "dynamic duo" will be reunited.
  
  Arcadia asks, why do you have this face for a funeral when you're just married? Arcadia will be throwing herself a big birthday bash in Cuernavaca this weekend and everybody's invited.
  
  
• Marian has a buyer for the trucks and sics Rafael on him in the sauna. Rafa says he'd like the sauna fine if only it were less hot and humid, he prefers his shower at home.
  
  He endears himself to the guy next to him who just happens to be Engineer Morales, the live one, who is happy to be talked into the sale. He will visit D.F. to see the trucks and will pay - cash.
  
  
• Marco comes home and tells Ale the sexologist can effect a cure, but in the mean time, they should sleep separately. Ale is pleased about that.
  
  (Marco thought-bubbles: "I won't tell her I saw Vicki there, that's the most vulgar family I've seen in my life!")
  
  
• Rosaura and Generala are dining (and eating cheap cookies). Generala gets Rosaura to admit that, though Pepeto is vulgar, primitive, poor, and a Cro-Magnon, he's growing on her. "But I'm married!" "Yeah, but to a jerk."
  
  
• Marian and Rafa are at dinner celebrating his sales and there is about to be a kiss planted on her ultra-puffy lips when - Daniel the sotted snob appears, sits down, drinks their champagne, makes fun of Rafa's occupation and his modest success ("if you were talking millions of dollars - or euros - that would be more in Marian's league!"), and apropos of nothing boasts about his time in Shanghai with educated people. FF>>
  
  
• In the morning Rafa's mom and Julieta greet him happily. He asks about Jaime. "He asked forgivenness but I told him I hate him and socked him. He doesn't deserve pardon."
  
  
• The Siglo salesforce eagerly awaits morning meeting - what kind of gossip will they reap?
  
  
• Finally, Rafa enters Ale's office, there are big smiles, and - hugs! and kisses! and "I love you with all my soul," "Me too!" Mmmm! wasn't expecting that! What a nice ending to a nice episode.
