Caray, Caray!

Beware - for some reason this show is starting very late and it wasn't finished till 9:09. It will cut off the end of your recordings if you're not careful!

Candy tells Pancho he was chicken to pretend he didn't know Chela was in love with him. He should tell the truth, that he's in love with Rebeca.

Pina can't believe Vince went to see the dog therapist - "Yeah, and I won the Nobel Prize. And now the dog is losing her fur, Vince, and it's all your fault! Did the doctor teach you to bark?" He mutters woefully: "If this continues, Abeja will end up like one of those bald aztec dogs!"

Chela has a fun vacation day. First she goes to Pedro Infante's shrine, then she visits her sister's grave and, after leaving her flowers, she spies on Pancho as he, too, comes to wish his dead wife a happy birthday.

Candy is bouncing vigorously in Avon's zumba class; when Vicente comes in she invites him to participate. "No, I dance worse than a fat hippo," he demurs, but he tries anyway. Then, yoga in pairs! And the "twin" pose: Vicente falls on top of her to their mutual satisfaction.

Nico and Chaco tell Pancho: "You'll end up like the dog with two cakes (ie, he'll end up with neither of the bombons)...

Poor Elena. Down in Brazil, naked, she confesses to Freddy this was her first time. "Why did you pretend you were an experienced femme fatale?" "Insecurity!" "If I'd known you were a virgin I wouldn't have pressed you..." He's in a hurry to leave and will be gone all day, she should find herself something to do. Uh, oh. He leaves her with a fistful of cash and dawning disillusion in her eyes.

Accountant Beto, ever the pessimist, describes Murphy's Law to Pancho ("If you think something bad is going to happen, it's because it will... If there's any possibility something could happen that will cause the worst problem, that's what will happen." Pancho confides in Beto about his love, and gets this cheering response: "Love always has disastrous consequences. You two will probably never consummate your love."

Lupe thinks it's gross that Pancho likes Rebe. Pepe thinks she'll make a groovy stepmother.

Temo is sick in bed and getting fussed over by Ana when Chela shows up to help with the fussing. "Don't tell your dad I was here," she says. Temo implores her: "Stay!" She swears she'll come visit every day.

Fer visits... some place. Stay tuned.

Pina and her buddy Catalina agree Vince couldn't actually have been visiting a therapist at 10 pm. Catis enthusiastically agrees to spy and find out who he's shagging.

After yoga, Vince is euphoric. He invites Candy to have an egg-and-banana energy drink with him outside. They're giggling and then embracing - while Catalina watches. When she storms up Vince immediately starts spewing excuses and denigrating Candy while she's within earshot.

Pepe and Enzo meet cute in the elevator. As usual, Enzo sez "Hands off my daughter." "Shouldn't you think about your daughter's happiness?" "She aspires to much more, you're from an extremely inferior class." "We love each other and you can't change that, nor can Freddy nor God." Whoah!

Barb and Becky gossip again, same conversation as yesterday.

Vince apologizes to Abeja and asks her pardon. Pina comes in and he asks if she's seen her pal yet. No. He admits Catalina saw him embracing Candy.

Candy steams remembering Vince selling her out again to save his own skin. "He's an imbecile, a baboon," she tells Ana, "but I know what to do!"

Pancho finds Chela at the old homeplace and starts in with the usual "You're the soul of the family, we miss you, the house is like death without you" routine. But she wishes he didn't always use the plural. "WE need you, you say - but do YOU need me?" "Yes, Chela." "But the kiss! Tell me, don't I deserve the truth?" "Yes, I'm in love with Rebeca. And now, you tell ME the truth." Chela says she won't come back.
