Caray, Caray!

We start this episodes from a few scenes from last Friday, including the breakfast scene where Vicente asks Meli about Pina’s and Freddy’s whereabouts, the hospital scene where Pina is about to have her procedure, the office scene where Vicente and Enzo are talking, and Chacho’s birthday party.

We’ll begin at the birthday party where Chacho finally confesses to Chela that he’s in love with her. He questions why she would choose to go out with someone like Enzo. He’s almost in tears and Chela is truly surprised.

The episode begins with the two young lovebirds, Pepe and Monica, looking at an apartment. It’s definitely not the type of apartment that Monica is used to, and Pepe knows it. It’s small and perhaps not an upper class place to live. Monica reassures Pepe that what matters most to her is that where ever they live, they’ll be together. Sweet scene.

Back at the birthday party, Chacho is quite embarrassed and bummed about his confession to Chela. He apologizes for having said what he did and runs off leaving Chela and Pancho uncertain as to what they should do.

At the new apartment, Pepe and Monica sign the lease and receive the keys. They’re thrilled.
Suddenly, Monica notices that there’s something wrong with Freddy. He confesses that he’s still shocked with the news of Ana and Freddy.

At the hospital, Ana leaves Freddy and Arnold. Freddy and Arnold talk, and Freddy asks for help. Freddy doesn’t know why his mom continues to put up with Vicente’s infidelities and humiliations. Arnold explains that Pina is a lonely woman who depends on Vicente and Freddy for her life and happiness. They continue talking, and Freddy asks Arnold to help Pina leave Vicente. Freddy can count on Arnold.

At the Casa Popular, Lupita makes her triumphant return. The kids ask if she’s still sad. Lupita explains that she’s still sad, but rather than dressing in black as a way of mourning, she shows them her new black ribbon. The kids go off and play and Elena and Lupita talk.

Elena asks how Lupita is doing, and Lupita asks if she is truly concerned about her well being. She tells Elena that since Alex’s death, she’d not gone to pay her condolences or see how Lupita was doing. Elena stays quiet. Lupita questions their friendship.

Pancho and Chato talk. Pancho regrets having told Chacho about Chela and Enzo. They continue talking about a different topic. We all know that this topic deals with Pancho eventually proposing to the lovely Rebeca. Rebe walks in as the guys are talking and Chato leaves. Rebeca is on to Pancho and knows he’s hiding something. Hmmm.

Back to Lupita and Elena. Elena is quite bitter. She repeats to Lupita that she and Tomas are like the ugly stepchildren to the Lopez family. Lupita denies this, but Elena doesn’t believe her. Lupita finally asks why Elena hates her so much, and all Elena does is tell Lupita not to act like a victim. Lupita reminds Elena that Alex just passed away and that she’s suffering a lot. All Elena tells Lupita is that she’ll get over it.

Monica enters the house very happy and Enzo wonders why. Monica knows that even though he probably won’t like the news that she must tell him. Monica tells Enzo that she and Pepe signed the papers for their first apartment together. Enzo isn’t jumping for joy at the news.

Chela is thinking and feeling bad regarding what happened with Chacho. Pepe walks in and tries to talk with his aunt Chela. Chela tells him.

Back to Enzo and Monica. Enzo continues to convince Monica to wait a while until both kids have a better and more stable income. Monica reassures Enzo that she’s happy and loves Pepe with all her heart. That’s what matters most.

Chela tells Pepe that things will definitely change with Chacho.

Pancho meets up with Chacho who is taking out his anger on a punching bag. Chacho is very hurt because Chela doesn’t love him the way he loves her. Why Transeti? Why Transeti?

Pepe meets with Enzo. Enzo talks to Pepe in a very nice and civilized way. Enzo is showing Pepe that he’s changing. Enzo offers to buy Pepe and Monica an apartment in a good district that is probably better than what they got. Pepe declines Enzo’s offer. Enzo then says that he’s willing to lend Pepe the money. Again, Pepe declines in a very courteous way.

Pancho and Lupita are talking. Pancho asks for Lupita’s help regarding a plan. Hmmm, what does Pancho have up his sleeve for the lovely Rebeca? Whatever it is, it has to do with the computer and he asks his favorite daughter for help.

Back to Enzo and Pepe. Pepe is very gracious and yet, he’s honest and direct with Enzo. He thanks Enzo for accepting his relation with Monica. He also thanks him for his generous offer. Pepe lets Enzo know that he doesn’t plan to start his life with Monica with loans and debt. He makes sure and thanks Enzo once again. Before leaving his office, Pepe lets Enzo know what a good and wonderful person he truly is. Pepe is the real deal here.

Pina tells Freddy and Arnold that losing her baby was a huge life defeat for her. She continues hating Candi and blaming Vicente. Both guys tell Pina that she has an entire life ahead of her and that she needs to start her life by loving and valuing herself as a person. She needs to be independent.

Vicente finds himself at home, feeling bad about Candi, and having his whisky. He asks Adoracion where Pina and Freddy are, and she doesn’t know. He shows some concern and calls Freddy. Freddy lies to Vicente regarding Freddy’s and Pina’s whereabouts.

Before the commercial break, there’s a very short scene…a teaser almost…where Chela comes up to Chacho and asks if they can talk.

Lupita and Pancho are at the house, and Lupita is giving Pancho instructions as to how the surprise for Rebe will work via computer. At that moment, Rebe calls Pancho and wants to know what’s going on. Pancho is loving being mischievous and messing with Rebe. She’ll just have to wait till the next day for her surprise!

Chacho and Chela talk, and the truth begins to be revealed. Chela tells Chacho that she had no idea Chacho felt anything for her. She speaks with the truth. Basically, she lets him know that he’s a very good friend, but that’s it. She asks not to lose Chacho’s friendship. Chacho, being the gentleman that he is, assures her that she’ll never lose his friendship. He asks if he can give her a kiss, and she accepts.

The next morning, Pina returns from the hospital and asks everyone to leave her alone with Vicente. He asks where she’s been all night, and Pina finally confesses that she was at the hospital because she lost the baby. Vicente asks if she’s OK or if she needs anything. Pina tells him not to fake concern and Vicente begins to leave. Before he does, Pina announces that she wants a divorce.

At the office, Pancho is very nervous. He waits for Rebeca in his office…nervously. She enters, she wants to know about the surprise, and Pancho surprises her with a video done on the computer with their song “Un Dia De Suerte” in the background. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, it’s a marriage proposal in an authentic and romantic way. Of course she says yes! Of course, the whole company finds out and applauds and gives their approval.

As of now, we see a new Pina…more serious and decisive. She’s serious about wanting a divorce and asks Vicente to leave the house as soon as possible. Of course, he doesn’t take her seriously and says no. She lets him know they can settle things peacefully and maturely or battle it out. Vicente still doesn’t take her seriously. They will definitely battle it out! He lets her know that he’ll crush her like a roach! If she wants him to leave, it will have to be by force!

Next we have a cute scene with Pepe and Monica, talking while having some pan dulce (Sweet bread). He relays the conversation with Enzo. He also shares his observations of the new and improved Enzo.

Pepe then goes to visit Pancho and finds out about the wonderful news. He teases them and has a bit of fun but then ends up congratulating the couple.

Pina is pretty depressed, and rightfully so. She does tell herself that she will gain strength from the loss of her unborn child. She swears she will triumph in life.

Vicente is a jerk with everybody. He tells Arnold that with friends like him, he doesn’t need enemies. He makes Freddy feel very bad for having lied to him. He has a bad attitude toward Celeste. What a jerk.

Rebe and Barbara talk and Barbara announces that she’s going to Paris for a while. Rebeca lets Barbara know that she would like her as her maid of honor.

Vicente asks Enzo and Sandra to recommend the best divorce lawyer in Mexico. Sandra informs him that the lawyer’s name is Gabriel Mendoza.

A couple of minor scenes.
At the Irabien house, Pina asks Adoracion for help in getting dressed and fixed up. She’s going somewhere.
Then there’s a tender scene with Freddy and Ana. Freddy feels bad because of what’s happening with his parents. Ana comforts him with a kiss.
A short scene. Monica and Pepe are making plans regarding furnishing their apartment.
They spot Ana and Freddy. Pepe is still not very comfortable with his sister dating young Freddy Irabien.
Monica, Ana, and Freddy try to get Pepe to calm down. Ana lets Pepe and Monica know about the imminent Irabien divorce.

At a restaurant, Enzo and Chela are talking about the same thing. Chela begins thinking about and feeling bad for Candi. Chela thinks that Candi will feel very guilty regarding Vicente’s divorce. Enzo thinks that not even the largest amount of guilt kept Vicente and Candi from getting together.
While at the restaurant, they also talk about Pepe and Monica cohabitating. Enzo lets Chela know that even though he’s not in agreement with the kids’ decision, he must support his daughter.
Chela receives a phone call from Temo wondering if she’s going to be home for dinner. Temo is fine until he finds out that she’s at a restaurant with Enzo. He hangs up on her. Childish tantrum.

Lupita and Candi are having a conversation when all of a sudden, Candi receives a phone call. It’s Vicente. Candi doesn’t answer the phone.

Right at that moment, Sandra announces that the lawyer is there to see Vicente.

Vicente and Gabriel talk, and Vicente is notified that if Pina has proof of adultery and infidelity, she has the entire law on her side and could get everything. Perfect grounds for divorce! Gabriel warns Vicente he is not to see Candi. Vicente refuses.
Even Gabriel encourages Vicente to have a peaceful divorce. Again, Vicente refuses.

Pina is at Avon and talking with Pancho. She tells Pancho she needs an office at the company because she intends to take possession of the stock she has in the company. She and Pancho have a nice talk, and Pancho lets her know that she can count of him and his support. She will have her office and begin working at Avon. Enzo is also called into Pancho’s office to help with financial matters and with Pina’s employment.

Vicente wants to strategize with his lawyer regarding the best way to “crush” Pina.

Of course, things begin to get heated at the company. Pina lets Vicente know about her plan to be at the company.

Temo and Meli. The kids have a conversation about why Temo is so sad. He lets Meli know that he doesn’t like his aunt Chela going out with a very mean man such as Enzo. He tells Meli that she is more than just an aunt…more like his mom.

More of the same continues to happen at the office. Vicente and Enzo are left to talk while Pancho shows Pina her new office.

At the Lopez house, Chela has two conversations. The first is with Lupita. Lupita lets Chela know that it is time to begin thinking of herself and be happy. If it’s with Enzo, so be it.
Chela then goes and talks to Temo. She tries to make him see that people such as Enzo have the ability to change. Temo is still acting quite bratty and childish about the whole thing.

Pina asks Arnold to think about giving her a job in public relations.
Pancho reads Freddy the riot act when it comes to Ana. Basically, he better watch every step he takes and every move he makes regarding Ana.

Pina has hired her own lawyer who is advising her. Pina is going to need proof of Vicente’s infidelity.

We end the episode with Vicente and Candi. He lets her know about the pending divorce and the loss of the baby.
