Caray, Caray!

This was definitely a busy episode. So I will get right to it. We start with Eva asking Don Julio to forgive her about not telling her about Daniel. She tells him she tried to talk to him about it the last time she saw him at the house. Julio tells her he already knew. Eva is curious as to how he found out. Julio tells her Victoria had a detective follow them and he saw the pictures.

Eva is quite surprised to learn that Victoria knew about them. Then she puts it together that Victoria must have known when she took her out to that isolated area for the commercial shoot and just left her there. She tells him Daniel found her and they were together that night. Julio asks if Daniel is the baby‘s father. Eva tells him yes. Julio with a fatherly hand to her shoulder tells her not to worry, everything will be fine.


Marisol and Alicia are talking. Marisol asks if she has forgotten all about Tony. Alicia tells her if only. She cares about him. Marisol doesn’t like the sound of that. Alicia tells her he is quite fine and today he brought her a little gift and she felt butterflies in her stomach. (It was probably just her addled brain rattling around.) She tells her she felt for an instant that he really did love her. Marisol says if you ask me I think you are in love with him. Alicia tells her that she can’t get him out of her head. On the other hand she is treated to fine wines, elegant clothes fine dining from Leo. Marisol tells her she is young and intelligent (What?) and not to change for money and fine clothes. Alicia tells her she knows but with everything Leo is offering her how can she not be interested. Than she takes her little black bag and shows her the money Leo gave her. Marisol has an all to wise look on her face as she sees the money in Alicia’s hand.


Alicia tells her he gave it to her just because he likes to see her all pretty. She tells her it is more money than she can make in a month at work. Marisol tells her to believe her when she tells her that “Easy money can make one very unhappy.” Than she looks a bit disappointed in Marisol’s response and asks her what she should do with it. Should she return it? She answers her own questions and says of course not.

Eva is worried that Don Julio will think the worse of her, thinking she came to his house to rob his daughter’s fiancé. Julio tells her he knows this isn’t what happened. He tells her the love that was born between Daniel and her happened because Daniel wasn’t in love with Victoria. Love never existed between them. He tells them the attraction started because of their connection to the business and later was imposed on them because of Marcella. Eva tells Don Julio that Daniel told her the same thing and he was in love with Eva. Eva tells Julio that it was all a lie and she was stupid to fall for his game. He never wanted to marry her. He asks her how she can say such a thing with such certainty. She tells him she talked to Alicia and she told her Daniel and Victoria got married. Julio gives a deep throated “What? They got married?” That’s an affirmative says Eva and continues “ Now that I am pregnant this child is not only from a man that doesn’t love me but also the man that killed my father.”

Bruno is having a flashback of when Marcella almost fainted in her office and screams at him to get her a drink. He remembers seeing her put the letter in a drawer. He gives this some pensive thought. (I think he is deep in thought or remembering his “passionate night” with Marcella.)


Eva is all bummed out because she is expecting a child with that jerk. Tia scolds her for talking like that. She tells her this will be the last time she talks like that because this is her child she is talking about. Julio agrees with Tia. Tia tells her this child deserves nothing but pure love and good things. Eva starts to argue with her and Tia sets her straight and tells her to be happy and thank God for this child.

Eva is now crying and tells Tia of course she thanks god, but she doesn’t know how she will take care of it. Julio again offering a soft place to land rubs her shoulder and tells her that is the last thing she should be worried about. He tells her as long as he is around, as he points to Tia “You and your child will never want for anything.” Tia walks over in tears and tells her how can you not be a happy mother and all three have a emotionally bonding good cry.

Marcella is lying down in all her misery as she hears a knock on the door. She shouts at Renata and tells her she isn’t there for anyone. It happens to be Vicky. She tells her she has to talk with her. Marcella asks if it can wait till the morning, she has a wicked migraine. Vicky sits on her bed and tells her she ran into Claudia at the gym today and she told her she lost her baby. Marcella looks at her as if that were old news and says “ Well at least we won’t have to have anything more to do with her.” Vicky continues to tell her that she told her something else that left quite an impression on her. Marcella is non phased as she takes a couple of pills. Vicky asks her if it is true, did she put something in her coffee to cause her to loose her baby. Marcella downs the pills with disinterest.

Tia hands the phone to Eva. It is Dr Garcia. He confirms that Eva is pregnant and suggests she make an appointment to see him.

Victoria is telling Marcella that she told Claudia if she continues talking like that she would sick their lawyers on her and charge her with defamation of character. Marcella tells her good job. Marcella is surprised however, if Claudia thinks this why didn’t she come and face her about it. Victoria says she asked her the same thing and Claudia told her when she lost the baby she suffered a mental crisis and was hospitalized. Marcella chortles “This crisis was because she was frustrated because she realized her efforts to trap Leo failed.”

Bruno sneaks into Marcella’s office and breaks into her desk drawer saying “Let’s see what you are hiding in here.” He pulls out the letter and looks startled to see what it says.

Victoria is also looking a little startled as she continues her chat with Marcella and asks her to tell her the truth “Did you put something in the coffee that would cause her to loose her baby?” Marcella looks at her disarmingly and says “What do you think?” Victoria ponders this and replies “I don’t know but you once gave me something that would make everyone thing I tried to commit suicide.” Marcella says with her snake like charm “So are you saying you think I did it?” Victoria again is giving this some thought as we hear a knock at the door. Ah the creepy Adam’s family is now complete as brother Leo enters the fold.

He apologizes for interrupting but Renata told him she wasn’t feeling well. He asks her how she’s feeling. She tells him she was feeling poorly but Victoria brought her some news that helped her feel a bit better. He wants to know what kind of news. She tells him to sit down as she pats the bed for his spot to sit.

More Eva and Tia. She is telling her that she will soon have a child that she will love and take care of and soon discover it will be the light of her life. Eva sadly agrees. Tia seems frustrated and says don’t tell me you are still thinking about it’s father. Eva tells her no she was thinking about her mother. It’s is hard for her to understand how a mother could abandon her children. “How could my mother abandon me and Alicia?”

Guess who appears in the next scene? Old dead beat mama herself, Deborah. Her assistant or maid Vanessa is asking her how things went. She tells her very good. The detective has finally found some clues as to where her children are. She says “Alicia and Eva are here in Los Angeles. Their father brought them here a couple of months ago. Something tells me that very soon I will find them.”



Wednesday, Pugsly and Morticia are sitting on the bed. As Marcella turns to Leo and tells him that Vicky tells her that his Ex-Claudia lost her baby.


Leo looks a bit taken back at this news as Marcella continues to say “And now you can rest easy because you are liberated from this package.” He tells her that’s not so bad because this child could have really complicated his life. Marcella smiles at him as she touches his face and tells him she would never have permitted that his life become complicated in that way. That is why she took care of the matter. Victoria looks on in disquiet belief. Leo asks her exactly what did she do? She tells him not much she just gave her a little substance that would cause a natural abortion. She goes on to nonchalantly say she could not permit anyone to cause him harm, and understand one thing, whoever would try and harm either of them will end up paying very dearly because for them she is capable of anything. Marcella then tells them and she says ‘please’ not to tell any one about this. Leo thinks for a nanosecond then kisses her on the cheek. Victoria really seems spooked to be hearing this.


Vanessa is telling Deb that she hopes she finds her daughters. Deb tells her she has spent many years looking for them and feels that now she is very close to them. She tells her now more than ever what ever the time, if the detective calls to let her know right away. Vanessa assures her she will be right on that and that she sincerely hopes she finds them. Deborah tells her she believes that very soon she will encounter them.

Tia is telling Eva to stop thinking about her mother and not to torment herself any more about that subject. Eva tells her okay. Tia continues that her emotional state right now can effect her baby. She says when Julio finds out that she is pregnant he will have to give her permission to go see the Dr. Eva tells Tia as she brings her hands to her face that she still can’t believe this is happening. Tia tells her the only thing she should be thinking about is the well being of her unborn child. Eva tells her that Julio told her Marcella wants to harm her. She says now more than ever she has to be careful and protect herself from that evil women.

Bruno is standing and grinning to himself looking at the letter Marcella received saying “The poor widow is receiving anonymous letter’s. It is very interesting that al of this is making you very nervous. Is it possible that she could have murdered her husband?” as he lay’s the anonymous letter on the desk top. Then he wonders who could know and who could be sending her little notes. Then he says whether is true or not he is going to take advantage of her vulnerability and he puts the letter back in the drawer.


The note says “Assassin. You murdered Julio.”

Marcella is now all freaked out at the possibility that someone has found out that she murdered Julio. She is wiping makeup off her face like an insane person as she tells herself she has to find out who it is and put an end to them. “I have to kill them. I have to kill them the same way I killed that Bastard child of Claudia’s, and Julio and Eva when she shows up.” She is really scrubbing at her face hard now and saying chanting over and over that she has to kill Eva.


Laurita has brought her plate into the kitchen and tells Jacky that the supper was really good as she sits it down on the counter to finish her desert. She tells her she is glad she liked it and is relieved that Victoria liked it as well otherwise she would be far away looking for work. Laurita frowns at this and tells her “My dad would never allow that.” Jacky cautiously tells her it was one thing when they were dating, but now that they are just married who knows what she could convince Daniel to do. Laurita tells her that will never happen. Jacky sweetly tells her not to worry about such things. They are very sweet together.

Tia is asking Eva if she is going to tell Daniel she is expecting his child. She looks her straight in the face and says “No. Like you said, this child is mine and no one else’s.” Tia agrees but tells her the child has a right to have a father and know his father and the father has a right to know his child. Eva tells her that neither her nor the child need anything from Daniel. She tells her that man is an assassin and killed her father. She says it is best the child never learns anything about this. Tia tells her she is partly right but the child has the right to know the truth about his life no matter how hard the truth is. Eva shaking her head tells Tia she can’t think about these things right now with everything rattling around in her brain. She tells her what she would like however is for Laurita to know. She says she would be very happy knowing she had a little brother or sister.

Jacky is asking Laurita why she doesn’t want to eat with ‘her.’ Laurita tells her she couldn’t stand seeing the old witches face any more. At this moment old witch walks in and wants to know why she is eating in the kitchen. She looks at Jacky and tells her this will be the last time the child eats in the kitchen like this.

Laurita is making cute sour little faces as Victoria continues to rag on.


Victoria tells Jacky that decent people don’t eat in the kitchen. Jacky defends Laurita and says her and Daniel do it all the time. Victoria crosses her arms and snarls, “I am not interested in what use to happen in this house.” Laurita continues making her little faces and then puts a morsel into her mouth totally ignoring Victoria and hands her plate to Jacky telling her it was delicious and asks for another piece. Victoria is now literally cackling as she scoffs calling her a little hen telling her she is behaving poorly eating in the kitchen and to come back to the table. Our true little brave heart turns to Victoria and tells her she is eating where she is. Victoria is not about to loose this battle as she tells her to do what she is told because as of today her bad manners aren’t going to be allowed. As of now she will start obeying her because if she doesn’t and is quickly cut off by our defiant Laurita as she turns and says with great attitude “If I don’t then what!!?” Jacky is trying very hard to not butt in as our little battle of wills and stare downs continue between Laurita and Victoria. (I would hide that puppy Laurita .)

Julio and Eva are walking arm in arm and he is telling her now that she is pregnant they will just have to change their plans a bit. They will have to lighten her load. Eva smiles and thanks him for all his help. He tells her when Dr. Garcia shows up tomorrow he will make an appointment for her for a general checkup. Eva tells him he is like a second father to her and when her child is born he will be like a grandfather. Julio smiles and says “Hopefully God will allow me to live long enough to enjoy this child.” She tells him both her and her child care very much about him and both need him.

Back at our battle of wills, Victoria is telling Laurita “Your days as princess of this house are over. You will do what I say, when I say and how I say.” Laurita is not going down without a fight as she says “Look If I tell my dad I want to eat in the kitchen. I will eat in the kitchen.” Victoria snatches the plate from her and pushes it away and shouts at her “You ate in the kitchen!!! And you will understand this one way or another.” Laurita looks at her and says “Oh yea? And what are you going to do? Are you going to hit me?” Victoria bends done and sweetly with menace says “No my dear. I have other plans for you. And soon I will convince your father and I will give you a big surprise.” Victoria walks away smugly as Laurita and Jacky share dreaded looks of upcoming doom.

Justa is sitting at Julio’s fake grave site lamenting on and on and on about her unrequited love. How she should have told him about the child. This goes on forever and we all know the story.

Moving on we see Marcella sitting on the sofa all tense as she hears the door bell. She looks around all nervous and thought bubbles “Could it be another letter? Or Julio’s lawyer again. Or Eva who has finally returned? Calm down Marcella, You have to control yourself.” Renata walks in and disrupts her saying she has a visitor in the living room. Marcella still looking nervous tells her she will be right there.

More Justa lamenting, she has always loved him, and she knows he loved her. But she knows it is too late as she arranges her white roses. She tells him now it is time to end the story between them. A story full of pain and memories.

Marcella enters the living room and finds Deborah waiting for her. Hugs and kisses are shared. Marcella escorts her to the sofa and tells her she has a lot to tell her. Deborah tells her she would have been there sooner but she had a little problem to take care of. Marcella tells her she arrived just at the right time and she can’t imagine what she has been through. She tells Deb that she really needs a good friend to unload on. Deb takes her hand and sympathetically tells her Renata filled her in on what has happened to Julio and gives her heartfelt sympathy. Marcella tells her not to be so sad, because she can’t imagine what that man has done to her. Because of him she is going through the worse time of her life. (Buck up you old cow, it’s not like you don’t deserve this!!) Deborah is curious and Marcella says when she tells her what is going on she will know why she is bad mouthing Julio.

Black Escalade approaching cemetery. Who could it be. None other than Julio and the good Dr. Julio is curious to see who might be attending his fake grave site. They pull over and he says to the good Dr. “All be it crazy or morbid, how many people get to drive by their own tomb and see their own name written in stone, or see if anyone brings flowers?” Dr. Garcia warns him that he is risking being discovered. Julio tells him to humor him. Dr G. tells him he is just giving him good advice. Julio laughs and says he just wants to see if any one is still crying over him. He looks over to the grave site and quickly removes his shades in total shock as he sees Justa on bended knee in front of his grave site. He says it can‘t be.


Don Julio is telling Dr. Garcia that this is impossible. “I thought she was dead. I have to go to her.” He starts to get out of the car with urgency as Dr. Garcia pulls him back and says “Are you crazy? Have your forgotten that the dead person is you? Nobody can see you.” Julio is desperately trying to get out of the car telling him he has to go talk to her. Dr. Garcia is trying to hold him back telling him he can’t get out of the car. Nobody is suppose to know he is still alive. Julio tells him that she needs to know. He tries to get out and Dr. Garcia is struggling with him to keep him inside.

Deborah can’t believe the story Marcella just told her. If her husband would have left her penniless not to mention the fact that he left it all to the servant girl, she swears she would be worse off than Marcella. She would be literally in pieces. Marcella sniffling now tells her she can’t imagine how awful all this has been for her. Deborah tells her she can understand for certain what she is going through. On top of all that Marcella tells her “Everyone expects to see me as the grieving (acongojada) widow. How surprised would they be to see me not suffering or crying for the poor dear Julio.” She continues with great self pity and says pointing to herself “Poor me!!!” Deborah asks her if she has “encountered her little problem.” (namely Eva) Marcella now shaking, tells her every time the phone rings or the door bells chime she gets a panic attack thinking “that women might return and throw me out of my house and take away all my things.” as she continues her boo hoo (and who cares!!) Deborah tells her to forget that. She tells her she doesn’t have to give up anything that is rightfully hers. Marcella graciously thanks her for being so helpful. Deb tells her she can count on her for anything she needs. Marcella is grateful and then asks her how long she will be in Los Angeles. Deb tells her for as long as she needs her and for what ever help she needs. Deb tells her when this women returns they will be well armed to destroy her. (Well this is an interesting turn of events.)

Don Julio is still fighting to get out of the car as he tells Dr. Garcia he needs to talk with Justa. We see her still kneeling at the grave site. He needs to find out if it is really Justa. The struggle has proven to much for Don Julio as he suddenly starts struggling for air and Dr. Garcia is truly concerned. He starts gasping as he says “this women has been missing all these years. This is the women.” or something like that as he really starts looking rough and passes out as Dr. Garcia shouts his name and starts shaking him. We see Justa stand up and walk away.

Renata brings Deborah her favorite flower tea. Deborah compliments her and tells her she is incredible and doesn’t forget a thing. Renata takes this in with stoic pride. Marcella rudely tells her she can leave now. And Renata throws her an icy look. Deb congratulates Marcella on her good fortunate in finding such an accomplished and loyal servant. Marcella tells her she has proved to be useful. Deborah says there is a reason for not accepting just anyone off the street. Marcella says “You got that right. I should have never let Leo drag that women into this house.” Deb says “And she tried to steal Victoria’s fiancé as well?” Marcella tells her if she hadn’t found out in time she would have done it. Deb remarks at what little shame that woman has. Marcella chimes in “Those people don’t know shame.” Deb tells her she is glad that she was able to do something just in time. Then Deb starts talking about how great and beautiful and sophisticated Victoria is and how she would love to congratulate her on her marriage. Marcella tells her Victoria would love to see her as well as she really cares about her.

Dan and Secretary are in the office talking shop, and setting up meetings. She hands him some papers to review for an upcoming meeting. He also has the employee reviews to go over and review their salaries. Daniel now seems overwhelmed and says he was away longer than he should have been. She chides him and says he is the first man she has ever heard complaining that the honeymoon was to long. He sighs and then asks if she has confirmed his appointment for today. She senses something is wrong and asks him what is going on. He asks her why she would ask that. She tells him since he has returned from his trip he isn’t the same. He is more tense and curt. And he doesn’t smile like he used to. Another heavy sigh as he looks at her and says “I guess it is true what they say that marriage changes a person.” and leaves.

Tia and Eva are chatting about which would be better. A boy or a girl. This playful banter is interrupted by a phone call. It is Dr. Garcia telling them that Don Julio is very ill.

Deb is asking Marcella about Leo. She asks if he has been snatched yet by someone. Marcella laughs and says not yet. (Not as long as she is holding her little bag of a sundry poisons.) Marcella tells her that woman hasn’t been born yet. Deb tells her not to worry, one will appear sooner or later. Marcella laughing tells her it isn’t something that keeps her awake at night. They both have a laugh now and Deb tells her there are men born to be free and perhaps her son is meant to be one of those. More laughs. Then Marcella says “speaking about children, I have something I wanted to ask you for a long time. Why haven’t you ever had children?” Deb looks thoughtful and sad and gives a long sigh as she tells her things are not exactly as they seem. Marcella says “what do you mean things are not as they seem? Tell me.”

Eva and Tia are rushing to a taxi. As they get in the cab, we see Dan coming around the corner and he sees Eva getting in the car. He runs after the taxi yelling her name as it drives off. We see another taxi appear right in front of Daniel.

Tia and Eva are telling the driver to go to the only hospital in LA and to hurry please. It is an emergency.
We see Daniel sitting in the back seat of a cab with his hand anxiously to his chin then we see both cabs round a corner. Suddenly we see a red car approach and smash into one of the cabs. We are left to wonder which cab got hit.

Marcella is asking Deb what’s up. “You got very serious.” She tells Marcella there are things in her past that no one knows about. Marcella tells her that all women have secrets in their lives. The important thing is to know who you can tell them too. Deb tells her she’s got that right. It would be awful if the press got wind of her story. Marcella tells her she knows she can trust her. Deb tells her she knows. After all they have been friends for years. Marcella urges her to tell her the secret that she has guarded for so long. Then she offers her a whiskey. Deb looking like a women with a past (Problems with alcohol perhaps?) declines and tells her she’ll stick to her tea.

Back at the crash site we hear sirens and see police cars as a dazed taxi driver gets out of the cab. People are running around but no one is doing any thing. Then we see Daniel’s blood stained forehead lying unconscious in the back of the cab.

Deborah is telling Marcella her history which is a long story about a big mistake she made many years ago when she was quite young. She tells Marcella that she is probably the only person that could ever understand her. Marcella tells her she is quite surprised. In all the years she has known her she never thought she was the type of person that would have something to hide. She tells her it was something that happened before they knew each other. Before the Arismendi company made her cosmetics line one of the most successful cosmetic companies ever. Marcella asks if her story might have something to do with having a child that she has hidden away somewhere. Deborah tells Marcella her story is not about a son. It is about two daughters she lost when they were very small. Marcella listen on intently.

Tia and Eva have arrived at the hospital and are asking Dr. Garcia what happened. He tells Eva he isn’t going to lie to her. Julio is really bad off. Eva is distraught as she brings her hand to her face. Tia wants to know what happened to have him in such bad shape. Dr. Garcia tells them Julio asked him to take him to the cemetery. Dr Garcia tells them “He saw a woman there. He became quite upset. He tried to get out of the car and I stopped him. He was going to go and talk to her.” Eva looks puzzled and asks “what woman?” Dr. Garcia tells her Don Julio said the name but he can’t remember. He tells them that he suddenly became very pale and his heart couldn’t take it. Now Eva is all worried and asks if he will get better. Dr. Garcia tells her that Don Julio’s health is very fragile. He tells her he can’t promise anything.
He escorts them off to see Julio.

Ricardo is asking Justa if she went to the church. She tells him she went to the cemetery. He asks if she went to visit the grave of that man. He looks quite sad. She tells him she went to tell him everything she wanted to tell him but sadly it was to late. He asks her how she feels. She tells him she feels much calmer. Like a huge weight had been lifted from her. She doesn’t know if he heard her or not, but she feels for some reason he might have. Ricardo stands and approaches her and tells her, of course he heard you. He goes over to sit by her and she thanks him for all his help. He asks her if she is still in love with him. Is this the reason why she could never fall in love with him? Justa tells Ricardo that she loved this man with all her heart and knew that he loved her. But now it is time to go on with her life. Ricardo wants to be a part of her life. She tells him it isn’t the right time but she leads him on to believe there is hope for them. (I think)

Eva is at Julio’s bedside and things don’t look good.



Dr. Garcia tells her that he is worse every minute. Eva is begging an unconscious Julio not to leave her alone. Tia ushers her out of the room.

Daniel is on a stretcher with a neck brace and is wheeled into an ambulance. Things don’t look so good.

Marcella is asking Deborah how she could have lost her daughters. Deborah says it is like I told you. I have spent years looking for them. Just then we hear Victoria screeching for her Mommy. Deborah tells Marcella that it is a long story and she will tell her about it at another time. Marcella is anxious to hear it now and asks why. Deb tells her it is because her kids are here. Happy hugs and greetings are shared as Leo and Victoria come onto the den of insanity.

Tia and Eva are in the hospital lobby. She is asking Tia to give her some hope to hang onto. Tia tells her she isn’t able to tell her anything. From what the Dr. told them Julio has been circling death for a long time now. Eva tells her she has to know what will happen. She is able to see things that are about to happen. She accuses her of knowing but doesn’t want to tell her. Tia assures her that is not the case. She swears to her she doesn’t know any thing. After all the Dr. told them that his recuperation depends solely on Don Julio himself. She goes onto say it is certain that he is very weak but he also has much to live for. Whether he wins or looses this battle with death depends entirely on him. At this very moment a gurney is wheeled right in front of Eva and she suddenly gets up and goes after it. She runs back to Tia and grabs her hand and tells her it is Daniel. That is where we end. At the only hospital in LA.
