Caray, Caray!

• Os demands to know “Who is the baby daddy?”
• PJP walks up and says…several times… that he is the baby daddy. Os is understandably impactado.
• Os does the expected “you’re a priest!/Vic how could you?” freak out. Os wants to know why the good padre didn’t tell him. PJP tells him all secrets have their moments to be revealed. Os’s heavy breathing drowns everything out.
• Os demands…demands(!) an explanation…right now!
• Vic begins her tale of woe…she was an employee in Burnie’s house…that’s where she met JP and fell in love with him (perdidamente…lost) but Doña Demente had already decided he was destined for the priesthood…but one night…
• JP takes up the tale…it was ONE night. He hadn’t yet taken his priestly vows…
• Vic continues…she gave him her purity...she committed a sin
• JP interrupts it wasn’t a sin, it was two souls giving themselves over to each other. Two innocent and inexperienced young people looking for love. Very spiritual blah blah
• Os says oh you paint it all so innocently, but put yourself in my place. How do you expect me to understand? You’re the baby daddy and all those times I confessed and trusted in you and now I find out you’re the baby daddy? How can you say it was an innocent and pure act?
• JP says it was. Neither of them had even known love. After that night he went off and did his priest thang.
• Os is amazed. You were really together just that one night?
• JP is “yup”. Just one night. He never saw Victoria again and  only recently discovered he had a daughter.
• Gui is holding baby Osguito (who even as a babe is a little creeped out.) Gui is doing the “sangre de mi sangre…mi hijo” TN lines. Baby cries. Gui tries to shush him. I’m really scared…is Gui going to eat the baby? Whew. Just a kiss. (And that's all we see of Gui tonight, so what was the point of that??)
• Xi is convincing the Sandoval lawyer that she has been horribly abused while under the Sandoval roof. She didn’t just run off and abandon the baby like Os is making it seem. She shows shows bruises (actually made by Gui last night.) They threatened to kill her if she didn’t leave.  Max had a lover. Xi had to leave to save her own life.
• Lonso is telling Max about Xi’s knife play with Maria and how she would have killed her if Fausto hadn’t shown up. Max asks why she didn’t tell him. Lonso reminds him what María Desamparada is like. She will put her pain aside and say nothing …anything not to cause anyone worry. Max heads off to talk to Ximena. Lonso tries stop him but the phone rings. It’s a business call. After making arrangements for later, he talks to a picture of Maria “Ternura” Desamparada and tells her everything will be ok.
• Cruz!! He’s visiting Fer with a flower and pinwheel! And a slightly, no..terribly off-key rendition of “Mi riqueza es este overused song.” They talk for a bit. He tells her Vic gave permission for him to visit. Fer tells him she’s going to help with the family business. He gives her a big pep talk. He knows she can do it. She’s a woman with a lot of character.
• Os can’t believe PJP never knew the consequences of that night. Vic says Burnie hid it from him. PJP wasn’t at fault that night. He always had pure feelings…was able to rise above the base instincts of most men…(so basically she takes another shot at Os’s cajones.) She tells him that he forgot the the most important thing to her was his fidelity.
• Os channels his inner yenta (Must be where Max got it from yesterday) and is all “Oy! Again with this all being myfault?”
• Vic-¡Sí, Osvaldo!
• PJP interrupts and says that even though they deny it, Vic and Os still love each other. He reminds them of the vows they took before God and Os corrects him…they never, never got married in the Church (ooo, will we have a double wedding for the finale?)..and now Os realizes why. Vic had all those secrets. She deceived him too and she has no right to reproach him. PJP does the throw the first stone quote. He says they should be seeking forgiveness. I pick up nunca and amor. CC says "nuco l uó e amr" Helpful, isn't it?
• Fer and Cruz: She'll never escape this wheelchair. He wanted to be a veterinarian. Fer is going to help him study and prepare for the tests he would need to take to get into university. He leaves her with a kiss and heads out the window. Shucks, these crazy kids get me every time. I think this couple has the most chemistry of the TdA bunch. (I hope we see more of Livia Brito at Televisa.)
• Fab comes to visit. They look kind of uncomfortable…(the Fab/Fer music is annoying when connected to them...not so bad on its own.)
• Maria is singing to JP-ito. Lonso knocks and Maria tells him to come in. He has some incredible news for María. The cosmetics folks want to make her the face of the campaign and put her in commercials! It’s a once in a lifetime chance and she can make big bucks and buy anything for bebé! Maria isn’t so sure she’s ready to go back to that world.
• PJP comes to call and Lonso tries to recruit him to convince Maria to take the gig. Maria wants to know what PJP thinks and he agrees it’s good when a lady doesn’t have to depend on anyone (especially if it’s Max we’re talking about…he  *did* take his sweet time with that divorce and all.) PJP thinks she should take the job and even offers to watch PJP-ito.
• Fab and Fer are coming back from therapy. Fab professes his love while Vic eavesdrops and thoughtbubbles “Fabian is in love with Fer.” Fer asks him to forgive her for being so mean before. Fab moves in for a kiss.
• Max flies into the design room at Casa Bernarda. He is mad as a hornet and yells at Xi about her attempted homicide of Maria Desamparada. Ximena is all “Wha??? Who told you that?” Max says that doesn’t matter, but Xi says it does…if it was Maria who said it. Screaming and yelling. Max is tired of her crazy. Xi goes crazy and throws stuff. Max goes crazy and throws stuff. Other employees start to look on. Xi screams help. She asks Max if he’s going to beat her to death. He asks if she’s crazy (uh…yeah. He might be the dumbest TN galán ever.) Xi tries to bring the audience into this interactive show. “Help me! See how he treats me?” More histrionics and Xi makes her way to the roof. Max follows. As soon as she realizes Max is following, she heads for the edge of the building. Max tries to calm her down.  Shots of Xi, sidewalk, Max; Xi, sidewalk, Max; Xi, sidewalk, Max. She jumps!!! Max runs to catch her (slow down, Max!)
• Crud! She’s clinging to the side of the building. Max is telling her not to let go and she is blaming him for everything. Rox is below yelling “mi hija” (if Rox really cared she would get her daughter some therapy…didn’t we say the same about Tizzy in STuD?)
• Cut to Fab and Fer. meh. FF>> (PS: Vic is still eavesdropping)
• Back to suicide attempt #2(?) Rox somehow got to the roof and is begging Max to save her daughter. Xi says Max just wants to kill her (Xi) because that slut says she (Xi) tried to kill her (Maria) Two guys come to arrest Max? Or at least take him away…
• Fab and Fer again. I don’t have the patience for this crap FF>>
• Fab bids adieu to Vic and Vic is pleased that two fine young men love her. I wish she had approved of Max’s choice of mate.
• The cosmetics people think Maria is even prettier in person. She’ll be perfect for the campaign.
• Fer is introduced as the new receptionist (wasn’t that Luci’s job?)
• Vic asks about Max. Toni fills her in. He dropped off Osguito and went off to do something.
• Burnie is flipping out about Max’s visit. She tells Padilla to get the lawyers. This is the time for vengeance on Maximilano Sandoval. She’s going to take his baby away.
• El Alacrán arrives and tells Burnie about the previous evening’s desfile by the new Casa Victoria.
• Meanwhile at Casa Victoria, there are warm fuzzies and pep talks. She gives shares to everyone: Pip, Toni, Oscar, Fab and Luci. woot!
• Maria at the cosmetics photo shoot. The company men love her. They are going to get her contract ready. Lonso and Maria hug and celebrate after they leave. 
• Vic and Toni reminisce. Vic fills Toni in on Os finding out about PJP being the yo yo yo baby daddy. Toni freaks a little but Vic says maybe now that everything is out in the open, maybe the Santísima Virgen will allow her to finally find her daughter.
• Maria and Lonso return from the photo shoot. PJP is in seventh heaven watching over the bebé. Lonso informs him that Mariá is the new face of Lovely cosmetics. PJP is happy for her.
• Os comes to pay a call and is cooly cordial to PJP. Os comes bearing gifts. Lots and lots of gifts.
• PJP thanks Os and the trouble begins. Os wonders why PJP would thank him, after all the child is his grandson. Maria explains that PJP like Papi to the baby, too. Os finds it odd that PJP feels so obligated to the child what with his sacerdote-ly responsibilities. Os wouldn’t doubt that PJP has a grandchild since he’s …you know…been with a woman before being ordained. María is muy impactada. She asks if PJP was married.
• PJP says it’s a long story he and Os exchange a few words and they decide to talk outside.
•  Let the divorce proceeding begin. Xi shows off the bruises again.
•  Rox joins the fun and asks how Max could have dared to hurt her daughter.
•  Xi says Max tortured her and ran her out of the house...away from her child.
• Sr. Juez asks if this is true. Max denies it emphatically. For some reason Padilla is there to stick up for Xi and says she should be reunited with her baby.
• Max says she doesn't love her child. She left the child on her own accord. 
• Xi says that isn't true! Max kicked her out with threats. He condemned her to not being a mother when he dragged her behind his car.
• Max says that was an accident. Xi says it was an accident he caused because he wanted to be with his lover and bastard child.
• Sr. Juez asks if that's true. Max says of course not, but Rox's "Sí Sr. Juez. He does and had a child with her. They've been together since he married my daughter" drowns him out.
• Again Padilla takes up the case. He brings up Os and Vic...and Vic's being accused of murder. Max attacks Padilla.
• After order is restored, Sr. Juez decides that the baby should go with Ximena because a child so small needs the care of it's mother and because Max can't control himself. (dumb.ass...Max and the judge)
• Max arrives at Casa Victoria (with Xi, Rox and the officers of the court) to get baby Osvaldito. Vic reminds Xi she abandoned the baby. Xi says they made her. Fer weighs in. Padilla weighs in. Toni weighs in. The officer of the court (who looks Amish) says the baby must be handed over. Vic balks and asks why. Xi says because he's HER hijo.
• Max says she's crazy. Xi says she's not crazy. She is the mother and has the right to her child.
• Vic will have to hand over the bebé.
