Caray, Caray!

[This episode was two hours long, but even less happened in it than in a normal one-hour version]

Candi is still sobbing in Chela's lap about her Vins predicament, and Chela reminds her that the man has publicly denied loving her on several occasions. This seems to make at least a bit of an impression.

Pancho is on Vins' case again, a prelude to the breakdown. He gives Vins his meanest squint and extracts a promise to never see the Bombon again.

Vins is already breaking up. He's with Enzo and his other friend, and they're dishing like it was Sex in the City. They warn him not to get too close to Candi, which obviously makes no impression whatsoever. They tell him that Pina will eat him alive if she finds out, and we learn that Pina actually owns the house and everything.

The next morning, we're treated to a hilarious breakfast with Pina and breakdown-Vince (let's call this neurotic side of him Wince). He's talking gibberish, pouring orange juice on his ham, and slathering his toast with butter, raw egg, and strawberry yogurt. As if he weren't enough of a wreck already, Candi shows up and Ado hollers like she always does when someone arrives. Pina says WHAT? Wince says oh, that's Nandy. He chokes on his delicious breakfast and both ladies start pounding on his back, ostensibly to clear the blockage. Pina leaves on some business or something, and Wince tries to tell Candi that he can't see her anymore. She freaks, and informs him that he's going to lose this "mujeron," this gypsy body (?), this caramel bonbon. Nice to see her with such a positive self-image.

Pancho is getting rock-bottom-nothing done at work, thanks to barfy-cute flirting with Beca, throwing kisses and such crap.

Ana lays the guilt on pretty thick with Pancho, blaming him for Chela's departure from the household.

Similarly, Candi is getting very little done at the radio station. She's distracted, and Pina chews her out. Then she decides to take the call from Vins, something sure to calm her down.

At his office, Wince has begun to hallucinate, seeing Candi posing on his monitor, in his address book, and even in the test patterns on the television. Predictably, the real bonbon shows up and he proclaims her to be a phantasm ("are you radioactive?").

We see what a terrible show Pina Opina really is, as the host steamrolls her poor guest into supporting some weird black-hen diet.

And that's just about it!
