Caray, Caray!

So Speaking of families, I noticed that the actress who plays Gloria in Modern Family is doing State Farm ads now.

We're treated to a brief re-hash of Pepe's well-prepared room full of flowers, candles, and a greasy sleaze-ophonist (seriously, how did he pull all of this together? When he got to the bus station he didn't even know what time the bus left. Maybe he had the entire love-party on standby). Yes, those two kids got it on, and the episode opens on them naked in bed. Monica wakes up the snoring Pepe, and calls her Dad. He's been worried sick: he wakes up in sweaty pajamas on the couch, all wrapped up in strange fabrics. He blows another gasket, and demands to know where she his. She lets on that she's been with Pepe, and Enzo doesn't even have enough gaskets left to below. He slips up and tells her that she's just as crazy as her mother. We get some ominous music, suggesting that some revelations regarding her mother may appear in the coming weeks.

Vins, Pina, and Freddy (still bearing Tomas' knuckle marks) discuss the pregnancy situation, and Vins decides to drag Freddy over to la casa popular to find out if the girl really is, you know, pregnant. While there, they demand proof, and Fred ges to Lena's room and calls her a liar.

I continue to marvel at Ana's ability to crush on Fred (with absolutely no basis for crushing), as she just *happens* to run into him in the hall with her accordion on.

Pepe and Moni are trying to snuggle, but Enzo's repeated calls are ruining the mood.

Fuming, Enzo refuses to believe that Moni actually loves Pepe. It's his turn to have a breakdown, turning red and sweating because his daughter has been seduced by a "pelele."


Candi is summoned to a Benz dealership, where, due to her success on PinOpina, she has been chosen as a model. They will scare up some business by giving her a free car and letting men drool over her. Not a sound business model, but I've heard of worse. It turns out Vins is behind the whole thing, and he basically bullied the owner/salesman (Vins has a similar relationship with this poor guy to what he had with the balding reporter from the other episode. Problem: she can't drive, so Vins gets to teach her. She has her first accident before she even manages to get out of the dealership.

Alex and Lupita are now novios. These dull mushy scenes are boring, but they give me a great opportunity to catch up with my note-taking.

Enzo, redder than ever, has a shouting confrontation with Pancho as the secretary bites her nails.

Lena is sobbing again, but *nobody* believes her. They all want her to get tested for real. Tomas shows up with a test kit and says he won't leave the spot til she uses it. Sobbing more, she confesses. Everybody has an opinion.

Some very unusual people show up outside Avon. A tiny old lady in a yellow suit and hat and her two minders are here to give some grave news. The old lady yells at everyone, and Pancho is starting to look worried. It turns out that they're from the cosmetics society and they're going to give him the "businessman of the year" award. Man, they must not have listened to Beto. Or Vins. Someone remarks that this award is better than an Oscar. Basically this lady, Ines de la Burbulla, thinks they're a pack of yokels, but has no choice. I honestly can't tell if we'll see her again.

To be continued...
