Una Familia Con Suerte #24 Mon 11/7/11 "I have lava in my veins, little butterfly!"
Back at the circus Candy tells Arnold she has a mountain of ideas for the company. Vince asks her for a private massage - but not here! "Want me to put on my Catgirl uniform?"
Pancho to Rebe: "Chacho is my consultant, philoshoper. Chela is my boat and my anchor." Turns out, he wants work for all his kids (except Temo). He even wants his dog working at Avon (he has a good nose).
The accountaint tells Vince and Enzo "We made the decision - this meeting is informative, not a debate." "We will keep spending as before." "No. From now on, all expenses must be okayed by me, Rebe or Pancho." Vince, Arnold and Enzo leave; they complain about the "horde of nacos" invasion.
Arnold is stroking Vince when Pancho enters; he and Vince commence yelling at each other. Vince: "You want me to take you seriously, ha ha ha. You did this as revenge because I threw your sister-in-law out the other day." Pancho hears Chela was in Rebe's office. Vince insinuates that Chela might have been stealing things. Pancho punches him.
As usual, (1) Chela tells dead sister I love him in my bones and veins. Forgive me!" (2) Monica is chased down by Pepe at the elevator. She says "Keep dreaming, mechanico." "I dream of you every night."
Pina spending the day in bed, fretting that the magic drops were just a placebo and they didn't work! Adoracion drinks the rest of the not-very-magical flask.
Rebe pours out her woes to Barbara, who finds it all funny, especially the part where Rebe is so jealous of Chela!
Pancho's family talks about the Arab visit. Candy will prepare a "special number" for them. Chela will need money to make a "feast fit for kings" for them.
Vince walks and complains to his dog. Candy appears from behind a tree and whispers alluringly: "I have lava in my veins, little butterfly. You know what you and I could do?" When she tires of taunting him she leaves and he hits his sore nose on a tree.
Pancho has a credit card now - Chela offers us a public service announcement: "Be careful with that, credit cards can be a menace." He tells her HE sent the nanny -- so she wouldn't work so hard. He tells her to dress up sexy tonight, "like you did the other night when you looked like a giant kiwi," she asks why, he says it's a secret. Uh-oh.
Pepe gets Monica's friend Kari to help him out: "Naco, you're driving her crazy. But she will never give in - because she has a boyfriend, and because of her father - they are indivisible because her mom died so young. They adore each other." He catches Monica - asks if she'd like to go out with him - she says she's busy - he reminds her "you owe me a favor. Sit for a minute. I didn't know about your mom... I lost my mom too, I was older, she died when Temo was born. I had 12 years with her. I know how sad it is when your jefa (affectionate joke, means boss-lady) leaves and the world... I don't know what I would have done without my dad. So I understand." She runs away crying.
Candy and Pina sit over a snack. "You look sad, what's the matter? Problems with your husband?" "Yes, my husband doesn't want me." "Reconquer him! I know what you have to buy."
Vince is very nervous, his friends can't decide what he should do about Candy. He decides Avon should hire her! Arnold calls Candy and makes an appointment for tomorrow. Chela thinks it's a trick.
Rebeca asks Pancho to try out his English. It's not so good. He says no worries, he knows how to make himself understood. Ana shows up sad, nothing happens.
Tomorrow: Pina tries her pole dancing dressed in leather!

This was a fun episode! I look forward to Chela's "makeover" and more ridiculous antics between Vince and Candy.
That was actually a pretty touching scene with Monica and Pepe. I really like that Monica's BFF tells Pepe everything to help out the cause of true love.
I also can't figure out Candy's game. I'm not sure if she even knows what she wants though.
Chela looked really nice for her date. Too bad it was with Chucho and not Pancho!
1. She really wants to help Pina/get Vince off her case, so she's trying to warm him up and send him home to his wife.
2. She wants to split them up by making Pina look ever more ridiculous.
3. She doesn't have a plan and just enjoys mischief. That this is raising the stakes on both sides of the marriage is merely incidental.
OK, that was three theories. I'm not great at counting.

Julie, I vote No. 3. Candela justs likes shaking things up.
The irony is that he's always said that he does everything for Monica's future. Making her marry someone when she isn't ready is obviously not for HER future... it's for Enzo's future.
Why doesn't Enzo just marry Vince himself? That'd solve everybody's problems.
So funny when Popeye enjoyed the office lunch.
Arnaldo's eyes went right to Candy's
chest.
Love this TN

Here it my reaction: YAY!!!
I hope Vince gets punched lots of times before this thing is done.
Madeline, welcome!! It's great to have a new commenter for this novela. It's fun isn't it? And what a completely different role for Sergio. I like your theory about Candy and Pina ending up as BFFs, that would completely unhinge Vince.
I agree that Candy's motives are a mystery. However it's a lot of fun watching her mix it up. I think I'll go with theory #3. Now that she is unemployed she's probably bored.
Thanks Melinama. I like how you are able to sum up entire rambling scenes in just a sentence or two. I wish I could figure out how to do that.
