Caray, Caray!

We open on Tomas revealing his feelings for Pina. She protests - Yeah he's from a different class, but she's also married and has a son his age. She tells him to leave and never come back. Good thing he just finished fixing the plumbing. She looks kind of funny being so harsh in such a silly dress.

Candi drags Vins into Zumba, and allows them to start the music again. He shuffles around, but keeps his hands on his thighs, all bent over as though constipated.

Oh lord, Ana thinks Fred is her fairytale prince.

Lupita has made a shirt of her and Alex. It's awful. She sends him one, and I wonder if she'll be able to make him wear it.

Pepe and Moni are still having fun at the beach

Ana is playing mournfully on her accordion (probably moping over Fred). Candi enters, wearing a blouse that looks like an oil slick. She wants her own show now that PinOpina is off the table, and they brainstorm a bit.

Pancho bursts in with Rebe in tow to deliver the news of his nomination. Chela hugs him and Rebe looks muy incomodo. She wants to take him upstairs to pick an outfit for the nomination dinner. Wow, Chela is being really catty (Pancho, you don't need those fancy trappings).

Pina vents a bit to Adoracion and then wonders... "why do i tell you these things?" she cleverly replies "because you don't have anyone else." the only other friend she can name is abeja. Speaking of which, Pina orders Ado to give the dog 12 of these medicinal drops for stress each hour (this dog will be drugged to heck), and she decides it means 30 per half-hour, and gives some extras for good measure. She takes a few herself, and before long Abeja is hallucinating and the screen is wobbling and changing color.

Wow, even more of Pepe/Moni's expensive vacation. There's a weird parachute ride,
and no new information is delivered.

Lena is cleaning the house and whining to Lupita, and Alex shows up with some gifts (not wearing the shirt Lupita sent him). Anyway, she's getting grumpy, cleaning and watching the kids smooch, and goes snooping in her brother's stuff. She finds the ridiculously expensive watch, jumps to an unkind conclusion (he stole it) and takes advantage of an opportunity to stop Alex and Lupita from cuddling. They all begin to run around and tell half of Mexico about the watch and pry pry pry.

Meanwhile, Tomas sits in a bar and mopes about Pina.

Pancho and Rebe are upstairs. Ana is all ready to rush up and interrogate them ("no funny business, guys"), but Candi and Chela tell her that's not how it's done. Pancho is in love and that can't be stopped. Ana asks "Why?" which is funny, coming from a girl who's swooning over the no-redeeming-qualities Freddy.

Upstairs, Rebe vetos the soccer-ball tie. Rebe suggests a boring tie and he
says it's like an American politician. They kiss. I yawn.

Now Vins is courting/brown-nosing Ines. We learn that he holds shares in her company (competitor to Avon), and he learns that Fernanda's followers in the business bureau (or whatever) back Pancho. They vent together about Pancho. She tells him that she's suggesting *him* as the competing candidate, and he is utterly thrilled and commences another round of brown-nosing. But there's a problem: the votes will be tied. They're going to have to think of some kind of dirty trick. Also, it turns out that the two old ladies have an ancient feud.

Candi still doesn't know what to name her show. She will do interviews, and cooking, and beauty tips, and is just generally all over the place. They will let the public choose the name. Sounds like a trainwreck.

As soon as she hears about Ines' arrival, Fernanda flies back from Germany just to meddle. She reveals the source of the fight to Rebe: She had a relationship with Ines' dead husband. She is aware of the immaturity of this feud, but that doesn't stop her: "It's a game, but I have to win it." She doesn't want Pancho to know about any of this. She wants him to think that he's winning for his own merits, (rather than winning just to stick it to Fers' old rival). They also seem to be planning some funny business with the voting.

The Prying Posse is still fretting about the watch, and now Chela and Candi are in on the fun. They try to call Tomas, but he's busy getting smashed. They schlep the watch over to Pina's and find out the truth.

Fers and Ines meet each other at the nomination cocktail, and bicker and backstab like a bunch of 13-year-olds. "Did you fly here on your broomstick?"

Pancho finds out that Vins got nominated. Vins berates him for not being a career businessman. They shout at each other in a fit of playground bickering. They tear off their jackets and raise their fists. Rebe intercedes and scolds them for being such children in front of the press (she's finally showing a little character). She wisely threatens to cancel both nominations.
