Caray, Caray!

Bernarda is not liking the looks of her prospective granddaughter. "Um. I just wanted to meet you, that's all." Maria Magdalena sobs "Whaddaya want?!" Bernie goes back to the car, smiling. She tells her crew that she found "her" but they've got to get out of there--she can't stand the smell.

Linda bids the models goodbye. As they're leaving the dressing room, Fer comes rushing in, all excited, to tell Linda that last night was ALL about her (not that she doesn't already think every night is ALL about her) and she had the best makeup and blah, blah, blah, giggle, giggle! Linda tells her that with or without makeup she's beautiful. Fer invites her to lunch and Linda whips off her smock. Yikes! Shoulda kept it on. What decent restaurant's going to let her in the door in that scrap of a top.

Cruz dictates some more love letters to a typist.

Fer admires the way Linda was willing to let herself get run over by an SUV just to get a job. OK, not only is that just a scrap of a tube top, but she also has it zipped down partway. And if she had a decent-looking rack, there might be a point to that, but I do NOT need to see that much sternum. Find a better plastic surgeon to put on retainer, Televisa. Fer asks if Linda has a boyfriend, then she whines that she doesn't get to see her boyfriend much because her parents don't like him. Linda helpfully says she'll help Fer see her loser boyfriend whenever she wants to. Fer is ready to run out right now and buy a "Best Friends" pendant that splits in half. Linda does the cheap version and eats something off of Fer's plate.

Vic is upset that she keeps chickening out on telling Osvaldo the truth and she doesn't want to hear Antonieta criticizing her for it. She wonders how she can tell Osvaldo about Padilla already, damnit! Antonieta says it's not just that, but what's she going to do if JP finds their daughter.

One of the models crows about Osvaldo doing a series that will be broadcast internationally. Linda listens with interest, but I don't know what she's scheming.

Osvaldo daydreams about Linda. Loser. He says he just can't go there! He's got to save his marriage to Vic!

They just keep showing more and more of Linda's outfit and it gets worse the more of it I see! And those abs are just not attractive! That's not muscle! It's loose skin and ribs! When did Skeletor get cast in this show? And why couldn't they just have him wear the damn robe like he always did back in the day? Anyway, she's calling production at Televisa pretending to be a reporter wanting to do an interview with Os. The ever-helpful Televisa production staff tell her where Osvaldo is filming.

Os calls Victoria at work. He's waiting for his call time. She asks how he can be so contemplative. She always has to be doing something. "You don't know how to enjoy the silence." Vic says she's always working. Hey? What are you trying to imply? She tells him that Oscar will be coming over to the house late tonight to work allllll night--wink, wink, nudge, nudge. Os would much rather they just work tomorrow. You know. AT WORK. He asks her for a date that night, but she turns him down. She's just too busy with the Miami show and all. "Don't worry hun. I'll just call up my skank ho girlfriend. No worries." No, he doesn't say that. Just in case you had doubts. And that's COLD when a man asks his own wife for a date and she says no. I would NEVER do that. Especially if Mr. 5ft wanted to take me to Fleming's for steak and chocolate lava cake. Just saying.

Bernarda remembers Maria Magdalena. Fausto asks what her plans are. "I have to think about it. I'm going to consult The Lord."

"The Lord" has apparently agreed with Bernarda (as usual) that Maria needs to be put down. And not verbally. A bright light suddenly shines on Bernarda and it looks like she, at least, believes it to be some kind of sign from "The Lord."

Padre JP goes looking for Maria Magdalena. He gets pointed in the direction of the neighborhood cantina.

Linda tries to convince JuanJo to buy a newer car, but he says cars are too expensive. He says when they get married, they'll see. And he's in a hurry for her to be "la dueña de mis quincenas" (the owner of my every-fifteen-days [referring to a semi-monthly paycheck]). She downgrades her request to a coffee and a big 'ol slice of chocolate cake. This he agrees to.

Max and Maria attend a party with Max's godchildren. It's the bald guy's birthday and he gets his face shoved in the cake. Maria is holding a sleeping Martincito and Max just can't wait for the two of them to have their own kids.

At the cantina, Padre JP is having a hard time with the smell. It's all hazy and red-lit, as are all establishments of ill repute. The barman says Maria is there and he'll send her over to the Padre's table in a little bit. Gross! As she comes over, her last trick tucks payment for her services into her top.

Fer comes home and finds the rose from her lovesick gardener. She goes to speak to him about it. She yells at him for being in her room without permission and asks what he stole. He says he just went up there to leave her the flower to ask forgiveness for stealing a kiss. She accuses him of being afraid she'll run to her parents. He says a stolen kiss isn't a kiss. A kiss should come from the heart and move slowly, until it reaches the lips. He says it's like he never kissed her. "Oh, fine, so you think you can just go around kissing people and then asking them to forget it! No way!" "What? It's not like you liked it." "No! It's the worst kiss I've ever had in my life!" She threatens him with firing if he goes into her room again. He says if he gets fired, she'll miss him. Fer mumbles about him being stupid, but she can't help smiling at him dancing with his rake. Mr. 5ft cracks me up by saying "She just can't help herself. She wants that naco lovin'. Sometimes no other lovin' will do." The whole language, and he's learned "naco" and "tiburones." That's my man.

Padilla brings Fed to "their" new apartment. He also got Fed some nice clothes and rented them a decent car. He wants Fer's parents to think he's made some money so they'll accept Fed as a son-in-law. He wants Fed to stop talking like a naco in front of Fer's parents and he's going to make him get a haircut. It's kind of gonna suck if he cleans up good.

Fer sniffs her rose and reminisces about her gardener talking about kisses.

Padre JP is asked to comply with the one-drink-minimum for chatting with the whores. He orders a "refresco" (a soft drink). Maria Magdalena assumes that the sisters sent him to try to get her to renounce her wicked ways. But, no, you see--she's too smart for that! She's not gonna work as a maid or be chained to a sewing machine when she can be making decent money whoring. "You know how to sew?" Dun, dun, dun!

Gui and Os discuss a two-man play that Gui has just bought the rights to and wants to produce. He wants Os to partner with him, and also act in it.

Linda has convinced JuanJo to take her to a café near the place where Gui and Os are filming. She tells him to get them a table while she goes to see Os.

Linda tells Os she's only with JuanJo because Os turned her down. She came to find him, so she can tell him she's crazy in love with him and she'll wait for him forever if she needs to. She lays a big kiss on him, in front of EVERYBODY, including guys with CAMERAS! (Damn, what's with the all caps? These people are irritating me tonight.)

I am totally gonna watch Bodas Inolvidables.

Maria Magdalena's been sewing since she was little. And now the interview is over, because her clients are waiting. She's not interested in finding out who her parents are, especially not her mother who abandoned her, and her nameless father. Who is this actress? It's gonna bug me. Maria Magdalena moves on to her next trick. A slight fellow whose head can easily rest on her bosoms without stooping.

Padre JP cries to God about the fate he believes has befallen his offspring. His supervisor asks what's up. Padre JP says he's got a lot of guilt. He's found his daughter, and it ain't pretty. He talked to her and it was painful, because she's sunk as low as a woman can sink and it's all his fault. He asks for forgiveness, but I don't think his confessor's blessing makes him feel any better.

Victoria asks Fer to come with her to Miami, but she decides not to. She says Vic has been going around yelling lately and she doesn't want to leave Fed. "You knew his dad before, right?"

Maria D puts her "kid" to bed and tells him a story. Basically, it's about him.

Vic insists that Padilla is mistaken because she never met him before. Fer says she doesn't care if Vic doesn't like Fed, she's keeping the mangy mutt!

Os leaves the filming while Pedro and Gui keep working.

Linda prances around the apartment in her underwear, complaining to Nathy that Pipino was wrong to say she doesn't have the body to be a model. When JuanJo comes a knockin', Skeletor…or perhaps Skele-ho would be more appropriate?...hides behind the door. He's come to give her a little bit of money for the wedding so she can start saving up. He's intrigued at the idea of getting a look at her in her skivvies, but they keep him from coming into the apartment. I was afraid he might be giving her all the wedding money at once, but she sneers at the amount and gives it to Nathy. Nathy tells Linda Osvaldo is NEVER coming back to her, because he loves his WIFE. Linda says soon, Os will be back in her skeletal arms. Nathy doesn't think JuanJo deserves this treatment. Linda gripes.

Vic and Fer are just waiting for Os to come home and have dinner. He's surprised, since he thought they would have eaten without him. "Since you were going to be working ALL night with Oscar." Fer tells her dad he's making a big deal out of nothing. Max won't be coming home for dinner. Fer tells Vic that Max is probably with Maria. Dun, dun, dun!

Max and Maria talk in his plastic car. She describes what she always thought her wedding would be like and says this is far from being her dream. Max promises one day she'll get her wedding. Maria says she can live without her dream wedding, but she can't live without him. Max thinks she's being silly, since she'll never have to live without him. Smoochies.

Fer laughs at Vic for not knowing the company gossip. "The other models think that's why you keep favoring her." Vic says she suspected it, but there's no proof. Os tells her not to intervene. Max is a man and if she tries to run his life, he'll leave home and they'll lose him. "But Max is my son, and she's just…" "Your favorite model, mom, so come off your high horse." Vic says she's just an employee and she can fire her tomorrow. Max HAS to marry Ximena. The maid announces Padre JP, who needs to speak to Vic ASAP.

Bernie tries to beg the Mother Superior not to give Padre JP the address of "that girl." Well, it's a done deal, despite Bernie's objections and she hangs up the phone angrily.

Vic joins Padre JP in the festival of tears. She's pissed he didn't drag her out of there, but he was in shock. She demands the address so she can do the "corazon de madre" (heart of a mother) test. Cause DNA is so passé.

Pipino demands that Antonieta to make a snap decision about which model to put in which dress. He asks Antonieta why Maria is moving up the ranks so quickly. Not that she isn't a good model, but…. Antonieta says maybe Vic wishes her daughter was more like Maria. She lets slip that she wasn't referring to Fer. "Don't tell me the Victoria has another daughter and none of us knew it?"

Maria Magdalena rubs her tired feet after a long night of whoring. She gets up to answer the door, smacking her gum, and Victoria cries and calls her "hija" (daughter).

Padre JP paces in his room and talks to God some more. "Help Victoria. She needs you now more than ever."

Maria M asks if she's crazy. "I'm not your daughter! Why are you all emotional if you don't even know me? What do you want?" Vic tries to get more info out of her. Maria M says the nuns found her walking around alone, crying, and she could barely speak, except for her name, "Maria."

Sweet William Levy in a kayak!

Tomorrow: Ximena declares war on Maria D.
