Caray, Caray!

We start with Icky kvetching to Mama Toxic about Daniel chasing after Eva.

At the hospital, it looks like Don Julio is recovering well and he's crediting his desire to get revenge for it. He and his doctor talk about the woman at the cemetery. "My eyes didn't deceive me and if Justa is alive I'll find her." He then says the key to all of this mystery is the German Shepherd, Renata.

Evil Marcela is in a panic and advises Icky to use her beauty and big butt (oh wait, she didn't say that) to seduce her husband every night and get a bun in the oven. Icky looks less than elated by this.

Both Eva and Daniel have a flashback of the babymaking night, and then they tell themselves that they were betrayed, blah blah blah. You can tell that they are trying to strengthen their resolve because they both miss each other. Eva says she'll make Danny pay, blah blah blah.

Gallo (looking more and more like a dandy each time we see him) is being chewed out by Leo for not finding the girl. He tells Gallo if they don't find the girl, he won't pay them. Then Gallo pulls out a gun and shoots.

We cut to the good doctor visiting the German Shepherd (Renata) and asking about Justa. He says that Don Julio had asked him to do something.

Gallo and his thugs all have their guns out and are telling Leo to not make threats. He tells Leo that even if they don't find the girl, Leo will pay them well.

The doctor tells Renata that before he died, Don Julio asked him to leave a paper for Justa. She says but Justa is dead, then he replies that no, Don Julio saw Justa and thinks that Renata hid the truth.

Renata of course denies everything and insists that her sister is dead, that Don Julio was mistaken, blah blah. She then goes on to say that since she is Justa's sister, and Justa is dead, that the paper that Don Julio wanted to leave Justa should go to her, Renata. (Renata, you HAVE NO SHAME!!!!) The doctor fortunately and obviously is not going to go for that and takes his leave. Renata of course is freaked out and is thinking how could Julio have known.

We now have a scene where everyone is trying to console an inconsolable Marisol, who of course richly deserves to be so unhappy.

At Danny's mansion, Icky Vicky insists that Idiot Man Danny eat lunch. Comes in Francisco, Laurita and Jacky, all looking dejected at the unhappy wedding. Francisco also looks stricken and shook up. As he richly deserves. Laurita tells Danny what is going on.

At the pension, Tony is clueless about what happened with Marisol so the others fill him in to the confusing tale. Tony actually says something sensible (but insensitive) about how could they fall for all that B.S. and what did they expect? Alicia says that she fell for Marisol's lies too—she thought Marisol was a nightclub singer.

At Danny's house, Alicia, Danny, Icky and Jacky are talking about Francisco. Icky takes her big butt out of the room to take a shower or something.

An inconsolable Marisol is being comforted by Giorgio who is trying to assure her that she'll get over it. But she just can't. Then Alicia comes in and wants to talk to Marisol. (An aside, if it weren't for the gay thing, I wish Giorgio would hook up with Marisol. I wonder what the writers have planned for these two.)

We have a heart-to-heart conversation between Marisol and Alicia, where Marisol apologizes for lying to her. Lots of tears and bonding. Marisol didn't want Alicia to know the truth. Marisol didn't want Alicia to even go in that night club because Alicia might have been temped by the easy money. (And she's right—Alicia is just the kind of dumb idiot who would!) Marisol explains that not only was she a nightclub dancer, but a prostitute.

Danny Idiot Boy is saying comforting things to Francisco. Back and forth between these two scenes.

Marisol tells more about her woes and drama at the nightclub. She begs Alicia to not turn away from her now. Lots more crying. Marisol says that she took that path because she wanted nice things and didn't want to wait for them.

Danny asks Francisco if he's going to get a divorce. He doesn't know, but if they get divorced, she'll pay. Danny asks him, did he love Marisol for herself or her money? Francisco says for both. Francisco also has this whole double-standard hypocritical thing going on, not accepting his own blame or sins, but blaming Marisol for it all.

Marisol is telling Alicia that she doesn't feel like she has any other options in life. Marisol doesn't feel like she is worth anything. And Francisco just wanted her millions.

We have a distressing scene between Adrian and his dad where the dad chews Adrian out for leaving his room and dad starts in by pulling off his belt and going to work on Adrian. Oy! So upsetting!

Evil Marcela is showing her friend Deborah around the fashion house and telling her about her hot stud Bruno.

Said hot stud is chatting with his conspiratorial cousin and talking about their bank account in Switzerland.

Evil useless dad has finished whipping poor Adrian and leaves, leaving Adrian hysterically crying. Justa and Don Ricardo come in and try to help him but he denies everything and just cries.

Laurita is holding a very green frog and saying that this frog will help her in a great joke against Icky.

More with poor Adrian crying and limping but denying that anything has happened, while Don Ricardo and Justa fuss over him and try to get him to tell. He finally curls up into a little ball on his bed and just cries and cries.

The doctor returns to a very animated Don Julio in his hospital bed. Don Julio wants news on Justa.

More with crying Adrian. Finally Justa and Don Ricardo leave him alone.

The doctor tells Don Julio that Renata insisted that Justa is dead. You're suckers if you believe that, guys.

Deborah is having a conversation with Marcela about that evil troublemaker Eva. Deborah looks impactada with this name, like it's familiar.

I'm going to combine some of these quick cut scenes because they're driving me nuts!

Justa and Don Ricardo continue talking about what to do with Adrian. They realize that he could be taken away from his useless evil father and placed into a home with a mother and father. Justa knows this will upset Don Ricardo greatly because he loves the kid. Don Ricardo then proposes (in more than one way) that maybe they can get married so they can take in Adrian?

Just tells him that she's been thinking about his proposal and she thinks . . . yes. Don Ricardo is beyond elated!

Eva and Tia Tilda are talking about Eva's upcoming happy event and how Eva is looking forward to the baby. Then Eva starts talking about her mom and how come she left them?

Evil Marcela asks Deborah, what's up. Did this name Eva Gonzalez ring a bell with you? Deborah says naw, no way. Marcela repeats more venomous things about Eva. Deborah is thinking to herself, could this Eva Gonzalez that Marcela is talking about also be my daughter?

Laurita sneaks the frog into Icky's purse, feigns innocence when Icky comes in and asks her what's up, and then Icky leaves with the purse. Jacky asks Laurita what's up and Laurita says nothing.

Tony comes into Alicia's room to chat with Alicia. At first they talk about Marisol and Francisco, and about how people get married and are unhappy later. Then Tony turns the conversation towards them. Alicia reminds him that he is a loser, like that liar Francisco, while Leo is a genuine millionaire. Tony says yeah, sure I'm a loser, but I love you and have since the first day I saw you. Alicia is like talk to the hand, whatever dude.

A sweet scene between Justa and Don Ricardo where he gives her flowers at the beach. He's telling her that she'll never regret marrying him and he'll try to make her so happy. She says she knows he loves her because he's always shown her. She says that after the death of Julio she has been able to let go of the past and now she can love Ricardo and make him happy in the way that he deserves. They kiss.

Alicia slaps Tony's face and says take the hint, I left you a long time ago for Leonardo. But after he is gone, she looks upset and reminds herself that she did the right thing, because Tony is a liar. Outside her door, Tony is now vowing revenge and saying that she and Leo will pay.

Don Julio has returned from the hospital with his doctor and he's still harping about how he saw Justa, even though the doctor says, come on, her sister says she's dead already.

Deborah is talking to her assistant/confidant about this Eva Gonzalez person and what could this mean. She's worried.

Happy greeting for Julio when he gets in the house. They've got a little impromptu party ready for him. Happiness all around. He says that everything that he didn't get from his kids he's gotten from this wonderful angel (Eva).

At the fashion house, Bruno is flirting with big butt Icky. She reminds him that she's a married woman. He says he understands, but let him know if she changes her mind, and he'll be "ready." Yeah, she'll keep that in mind.

At Danny's house, Francisco asks Jacky why she asked for Marisol's address. She had told him that Danny wanted to send flowers to Marisol. But that wasn't true.

Icky opens her purse and out jumps that very green frog. Screaming all around, but the stud Bruno comes in and rescues her from said green frog. She wants him to kill the frog, but he says that's not necessary (I am liking Bruno). He captures the frog in his jacket. She is angrily saying that the frog was put there by Laurita and Laurita will find out what she (Icky) is capable of!

Francisco wants to know why Jacky interfered with him and Marisol. She says that she was worried that when Marisol found out the truth, that she'd want him to be arrested or something. Francisco doesn't get it, why should she get involved in this? She sadly says that what affects him affects her, and then explains that she's worked with him so long, that she's fond of him. He looks thoughtful at this.

He then asks her, why didn't she prevent the wedding? She says she tried, but couldn't reach him in time. She tells him about what Marisol "is"—a "tramp" she says with rolled eyes. He laments that he wasted all this money wining and dining her. He then talks about paying a lawyer to get rid of this liar. Jacky reminds him that Marisol will see also see him as a liar. But he doesn't see himself that way (hypocrite!), he just "held back" with the truth a little. Jacky looks at him like whatever dude. He has a shifty, guilty look in his eyes.

Alicia is having a lovey-dovey conversation with Leo while an angry Tony listens in. She is going to meet Leo tonight. She fake-kisses the phone when they hang up. Tony is furious as he watches.

At Don Julio's happy house, they're continually happy and Don Julio is recovering well but he's got to follow his treatment to the letter! Tia Tilda says that she'll watch him and make sure he follows all his treatments to the letter.

Evil Icky bursts into Laurita's room and is on the warpath. Laurita says that she doesn't like her and to leave her alone. Icky starts to strike her but Danny catches her hand in time, looks quite angry, and asks what's going on. Icky has such a look of anger on her face as she turns to look at him.

And we end the episode there!

VIDEO CLIPS:
As always, clips are hosted on my bare-bones site. Right-click on links to open to new window. Video clips are Flash, like what is on YouTube. The quality is really high, so if you have a slower connection, wait a few moments for the clip to finish loading and then play.

Clip #1: Daniel and Eva wistfully remember the baby-making night and all that happened afterwards. 

Clip #2: I actually selected a clip with Marisol and Francisco on purpose! Francisco talks to Daniel and Marisol talks to Alicia about their fake millionaire woes.

Clip #3: A little bit of everything at the end and then the avances. What is this with the avances? Are they previewing all of February or just tomorrow? I thought it looked like all of February but I'm not sure. Are we going to have a big speedy passage of time sequence tomorrow? It looks like Eva is giving birth there. Is she going to have a "hidden baby" (a baby that the baby daddy doesn't know about)? Whoa!

And here are some screenshots, plus a bunch of scary anal-retentive freeze-frames of the avances and comments on what these freeze frames mean! Click on each image to see a much larger version.

It seems like even Daniel (Idiot Man) has his limits. He stops the Bruja from striking his daughter. FROM THE AVANCES: What? WHAT? WHAT IS THIS I SEE? Laurita in front of a convent with a suitcase? Daniel, are you even more of an idiot than you have already been? I was going to add captions (commentaries) on each of the screenshots, but you can get the picture on the others. It looks like Justa and Don Ricardo get married and Daniel the Idiot Man is unhappy in his marriage (which he richly deserves) and Eva and her little bun in the oven are happy with Don Julio being supportive. And idiot Alicia is still with Leo. I didn't make a screenshot, but it looks like Tony is doing the Bimbutt freakout routine and stalking the happy couple (Leo/Alicia) with a gun.
