Caray, Caray!

This is from Jim, our newest team member. Thanks, Jim!

Fernanda is in the hospital and is quite ill. She lets Dr. Octavio know several things, including the fact that the detective has been unable to find her lost son and that she wants to change her will. She tells Octavio that she’d like to put her fortune and company in the hands of the person who is the closest thing she has to a son…Pancho Lopez! Pina is outside her door and is able to hear the conversation. Of course, she’s angry and intends to let Vicente know the news immediately!

Vicente and Enzo are in Vicente’s office talking. He can’t wait for her imminent death. Pina calls and gives Vicente the news.

Everyone seems to be aware of the news. For example, Inez finds out and goes to see Vicente. She’s not necessarily worried about Fernanda, but she does want to talk Business! The Lopez family and friends also talk about the news, but they are genuinely worried about their dear friend, Dona Fer.

Back to Inez and Vicente. Inez informs Vicente that she has stock in the Avon company under a pseudonym. She plans to get Vicente to obtain more stock so that he could own a good percentage of the company. Inez plans to either give or sell her stock to Vicente to help him achieve this goal. In addition, they will use someone else as well…Pina!

At the hospital, Pina runs into Pancho and Rebeca. It doesn’t go well, but Pancho and Rebeca don’t let Pina’s insults bother them. Once Pina leaves, they see and talk to Dr. Octavio. He tells them that she’s ill because of her suspension of treatment and because of stress. He tells them not to worry until he finds out more things.

We then have a cute scene with Freddy and young Meli who is going to add some spice to this house. She wants to play, and he is not happy to have her there. I think she also almost catches him in some scheme. Oh, in case anyone was interested…the kid who plays Meli is Daniela Castro’s actual daughter. Later on, I think that her other daughter will also make an appearance as a character named Ramona.

Freddy remembered Ana’s words to him, along with her request for him to leave Pepe alone and in peace. Of course, he won’t capitulate.

Before the commercial break, there are two short scenes that are basically scenes of comfort and encouragement. First, Ana and Pepe talk about how they hope Dona Fer will come out of this situation OK. Then, we see Pancho and Rebeca having coffee and talking about the same thing. Rebe comforts Pancho as best as she can.

Chacho and Chato drop by the hospital to see how things are going for Pancho and Fernanda. Chato is quite smitten by Rebeca’s beauty. He acts silly due to being smitten.

Back at Avon, Pina shows up at Vicente’s office. Inez is still there. Vicente wants something…Money, and of course, Pina’s got the money. Time keeps on ticking, and Fernanda better get her legal matters in order before the evil folks put their plans in order.

Freddy and Ana see one another at the hospital. She can’t help but be smitten by him. He can’t help but to think she’s quite the “Naca.” Nonetheless, they go off for coffee and converse.

Fernanda meets with the notary and asks for everything to be put in Pancho’s name. Once the meeting is over, Dr. Octavio comes in, and Fernanda asks for him to tell her the truth about her condition.

Back at Avon, the three stooges (Vicente, Enzo, and Arnold) are meeting. Arnold is being his usual dramatic self, while the other two are exasperated with his antics. Vicente fills the guys in on the business scheme which is being cooked up and guided by Inez.

Back at the hospital, Chela is very disillusioned because she has already seen that Pancho and Rebeca are back together. She thought that things would be like before, but Lupita tells her that that can never happen. Chela wonders the purpose for her upcoming change, especially if it won’t make a difference to Pancho. Lupita reminds Chela that she needs to change for the right reasons, and do things like educate herself and become more cultured not for anyone else but herself.

At the hospital café, Pancho, Rebeca, Pepe, and Candi talk. Octavio lets everyone know that Fernanda wants to see Pancho.

Freddy and Ana talk, and Freddy begins to try and mess with Ana’s mind and heart because he knows she likes him. Freddy can’t deny to himself that Ana is pretty. Eventually…Eventually.

Inez goes to visit (agitate is a better word) Fernanda. She’s quite wicked. Of course, Dona Fer is stressed out by Inez’s visit, and her heart, blood pressure and health are affected.

Pancho walks in just in time! Inez leaves, and Fernanda dies temporarily. Fernanda actually has a heart attack.

At the neighborhood, Elena shows her dark and wicked side by telling Alex that Lupita went out…probably with Tomas. Alex wonders what’s going on, and Elena decides to tell Alex that Lupita and Tomas are thinking of getting back together. This doesn’t go over well.

There’s a brief scene at the hospital where Temo asks Lupita to go with him to the Irabien home to see Meli. At the neighborhood, Popeye also wants to go to the Irabien home to see Abeja. Popeye heads out, braving the dangerous streets and big city, to see his love.

The evil folks talk about Fernanda’s passing. We see greed and envy at their best.

Pina is also happy to have stock in the company. She and Adoracion talk. Adoracion is definitely a smart one. She asks questions that both annoy Pina and make her think.

Good news! We didn’t lose Dona Fer! Those others will just have to deal with it. Pancho is a happy man, and the rest of the family and Dona Fer’s loved ones will be ecstatic.

Pancho talks to a sleeping Dona Fer. He pours his heart out to her. He encourages her to live…to wake up, open her eyes, look at him, and call him “Hijo.” Oh, Pancho…If you only knew what is to come for you two in later episodes.

Vicente is supposedly worried about Fernanda and is supposedly relieved to find that Dona Fer is alive. He goes in and Pancho and he have an argument. Pancho defends Dona Fer. Vicente makes some statements that lead Pancho to believe that Vicente is up to something new.

Vicente and Candi have another argument, and this time, Candi puts him in his place! These two have the weirdest relationship and find the strangest places to talk or argue. This time, it was in the ladies’ room. Vicente is put in an awkward situation because once Candi finished saying what she needed to say, she left, and Ana walked in.

At the hospital waiting room, the Lopez family (including Chacho and Chato), is about to go home. Chela informs them that she plans to stay in case Pancho needs anything. She intends to keep him company. Rebeca has the same idea and doesn’t seem bothered by Chela.

A lot is happening at the Lopez home. Ana is daydreaming about Freddy. Temo informs the girls that Popeye is gone. Uh-oh. What will happen when Pina finds out Popeye is at her house?? Hmmm.
