Caray, Caray!

Candy is on Pina's radio show to talk about the Catgirl escandalazo! Pina sez, "She's such a fogosa (sparky gal) and we are great friends." Candy and Pina work up a great head of steam dissing disloyal husbands: "The man who took off your mask is a bad man!" "He wants to be treated like a king, men like him treat women like rags, humiliate us, ignore us."

Suddenly Pancho shows up: "This program is cancelled forever! Your husband has been charging it to Avon." Pina: "It was ok with Fers." "Do you see 'FERS' here? No! And even Adoracion is being paid by Avon. Even your dog's expenses! The Titanic is going down! It's over!"

Candy is mad: her chance to express herself on the air and be a celebrity is being stifled by her own brother! She and Pina yell that he doesn't love her. Candy: "That's it, I'm going to Arabia!"

Pepe gets Ana to record and burn a cd of a love song for Monica. He sneaks into Monica's office and leaves the cd with a love letter written in crayon: "For my siren, from your king! I love you and will wait as long as I have to." Freddy comes in, reads the letter, and steals it.

Arnold tells Vince "I'm a feminist, I hate men who treat women badly." Pina arrives crying: "He killed my program!" Arnold gives her those strange Bach drops. Vince tells her to go cry someplace else, he has to prepare for his meeting with the Arabs. They leave, Pina wailing: "Arnold, my show is all I have. My baby, Freddy, doesn't pay any attention to me, my husband doesn't give a damn. I have nothing."

Vince yells at the jeque's people. Interpreter: "He just wants to talk with Candy and see if she can be bought or acquired. She is central in this negotiation." Rebe: "Tell him it's absurd." Vince: "Tell him she's cold as the Arctic!" Interpreter: "He says he can warm her up." Jeque: licks his lips, eew.

Pancho arrives. "Tell him we don't sell women, they're not pillows or camels or merchandise." Undeterred, el jeque offers 1.5 million dollars per woman. Candy, arriving and hearing this, faints. Rebe goes for alcohol and meets up with Chela in the hall. Chela says "We're Pancho's women." Rebe thinks that sounds like a harem.

Booze fumes revive Candy, who's delighted that both the jeque and Vince are crazy for her! "Chela, see how important we are? Who else has ever offered so much for us?"

Lupita turns down Alex again but all the kids swarm up and hug him. He offers Lupita a huge house he inherited from his granny for a more deluxe kids' joint. Tomas shows up and hugs Lupa, they've reconciled despite his awful hair.

Pancho: "Let's go on with the meeting. Ali Baba, here in Mexico, our society is based on family. Even if we're poor or lose at football, our families support us. Not God or Allah or Methuselah can separate us. You have a mountain of wives?" Yes, he has (counting) 17. "OK, sell one to me!"

Pancho sends everybody else out of the room. Chela says she's honored by the offer but can't accept, because the children need her... She is so convincing el jeque gets sentimental about his own 43 children and embraces Pancho, sobbing... He'll sign the contract with no further conditions. Pancho and el jeque are best buds!

Pepe asks Monica if she liked the present he left. She didn't get it. Later Freddy pulls out the wrinkled paper he stole from Monica's desk and reads it to her. "Is this naco bothering you? I can sic the police on him..." "No, I can handle him..."

Ana puts on makeup, imagining Freddy's preferences. Then the imaginary Freddy laughs at her. "I am darkness and he is the light!" she dramatically declares. "Nobody likes me the way I am," she complains to her spectral mother. "Very soon you'll have a love that will make you happy, but sometimes we suffer," her mother counsels.

Tomorrow: Pancho catches a pants-challenged Vince embracing Candela in his office!
