Caray, Caray!

I’ve consolidated scenes. Feel free to comment with missing details.

Pina has just told Freddy that Vince wants to throw her in jail. Vince comes home yelling for his whiskey and Freddy puts his foot down. He will not allow him to throw his Moms in jail. Pina and Vince both wail about how the other done them wrong. Vince doesn’t have a leg to stand on, and Pina drops the bomb that he even had an affair with Sandra. Freddy is shocked and is clearly on Mom’s side. However, he wants them to settle already, but Pina won’t budge an inch. She wants her revenge for all the years of humiliation, belittling, and affairs—she wants it ALL (the many houses, the money, and the stock shares) and wants to leave Vince out on the street. Freddy ends up threatening to be the one to move out if they don’t come to an agreement. It works! Pina and Vince are so upset by this that they start talking about how to split the assets. No agreement is made on Abeja, however.

Chela packs for her hot weekend with Enzo and frets. She finds all kinds of reasons why she should cancel—Ana, Temo, old bathing suit—but Lupita’s not buying it. Chela tries to explain her nervousness about doing the deed with Enzo, but can’t quite bring herself to bare that much of her soul to her virginal, widowed niece. She goes to talk to Temo instead. Temo bitches and moans as usual about being left ALONE! She tells him that she’s an adult woman and needs to have her own life. Temo points out that up till now her life was all about them- the family. Chela tells him that she loves him like a son. She succumbs to the guilt and decides to postpone her trip with Enzo till the next morning.

Enzo gushes about his weekend trip to Monica. She’s happy that he’s finally in love after all these years. She’s never seen him date a woman. He admits there have been some unimportant encounters over the years, but this is the first time he’s been in love in over 20 years. Chela calls to postpone and he’s totally bummed. He fears the trip might not happen at all.

Pancho passes up canoodling with Rebe at her house since he knows things are going to be bad at the house when Temo finds out Chela is going away for the weekend. Rebe decides to go into the battle field with him. She doesn’t want to be left out of anything that has to do with his family.

Throughout the episode, the news that Paco is not Pancho’s spawn spreads through the whole family.

Kari gets introduced to the band as Ana’s choreography coach. Ana is pleased. She gets a call from Freddy and is NOT pleased that he told Pancho about her plans to ditch college. She hangs up on him angrily. Kari hears it all. Freddy is destroyed and goes to his parents for comfort. After insulting Ana in every way possible, Pina finally gives Freddy good advice. If he loves Ana, he should support her dreams and ambitions. If it’s true love and meant to be, then it will be. Vince asks if Freddy is willing to be a husband in the shadows of a superstar wife-- Mr. Ana Lopez. He hugs and pets his Nene. He understands his pain. (We note that both Abeja and Freddy find themselves being divided down the middle by the high tech laser room divider in this scene. The tug of war between Pina and Vince continues.)

Ana comes home to a REALLY angry Pancho, and the scolding looks of Chela, Lupita, and Rebe. They all try to convince her that school is most important. Pancho argues that he wants her to be better than him, who didn’t even finish high school. Ana makes really good points in her defense: Pancho is doing perfectly fine without a degree. He went after a big opportunity and now he’s the president of a major company; Music has ALWAYS been her dream and opportunities like this don’t come around every day; AND, she’s already signed a contract (a surprise to Pancho), and a Lopez always keeps their word. After lots of yelling and many tears, Pancho seems to soften and hugs Ana close. He still doesn’t seem convinced that quitting school is the best way to go about things.

The next morning, Chela’s dressed in some sexy skinny jeans and a low cut top. She kisses Temo goodbye, and needs a few words of encouragement from Candy to get herself through the door and into Enzo’s waiting car. She clutches the car door as if to jump out, but then tells Enzo to drive before she changes her mind. He speeds off.

Pancho brings the brat breakfast in bed, to continue to spoil him to make up for his aunt being unshackled for the weekend. After breakfast in bed, he’ll video-chat with Meli in Brussels and then play soccer with Pancho. And guess what?! Rebe comes over dressed in her Chivas soccer wear (shorts and all) and brings Temo a special Chivas soccer ball. She’s going to play soccer too.

It’s obviously Saturday, 'cause everybody is dressed down. Ana’s visiting the Irrabien house in sweats and even Pina is in a hip leather jacket and skinny jeans. Ana and Pina exchange barbs. Pina doesn’t want Ana to hurt her bebe and wonders what Ana wants more, her record or Freddy. Ana won’t choose, but she loves Freddy. Freddy hears this and they chat alone. Freddy apologizes for tattling on her. Ana says it was for the best as it’s all out in the open now. She asks him to forgive her. They declare their love. She compares her love for music to his love for racing. He says he will support her but is afraid of losing her. Their smooching is interrupted by her constantly ringing phone. It’s her manager Joaquin and he wants her in the studio, now. This does not bode well for our love birds.

Goya promises to find out for Adoracion why Chato is acting so shady about committing to her. Later Chato comes to see Ado, tells her he loves her, and that he wants to marry her and meet her mama. Ado is speechless. Then she slams the door on his nose a bunch of times and does a happy dance.

Pancho, Rebe and Temo play soccer in the yard. Pancho leaves the two alone to go pick up Paco from the doc. The shocker is that Temo doesn’t mind! He and Rebe have a great time playing and begin to tutear. Temo asks Rebe if Chela and Enzo are going to get married. They have a good heart-to-heart. Rebe points out that when you love someone (like Temo loves Chela), you want the best for them. Temo seems to get it and hugs Rebe!

Chela and Enzo arrive at their hotel in Ixtapan. Chela is visibly nervous. Enzo tenderly takes her hand and can’t take his eyes off her. They look really good together. Their room is decked out in roses, swan towels, and an iced bucket of champaign. The view from their balcony to the surrounding mountains is lovely. Enzo gives Chela one of the many red roses in the room, strokes her face, and begins to lay some major smooches on her. They have both improved with practice. Chela drops her rose—perhaps a sign that she will soon be deflowered in other ways?

Pancho convinces Paco to forgive his mother for lying. Nothing is more important than a mother’s love. You can never judge your mother or resent her, especially a single mom. Pancho promises to be there for Paco as his friend, always. Candy comes home and Paco is left more breathless than usual.

Kari tries to teach Ana dance moves, and Ana has a meltdown since she’s so tired and preoccupied. Joaquin is not pleased and is ready to fire both Ana and Kari. Ana storms out as the rest of the band wanders in. (Why don’t they have to get sexy and learn how to dance too?)

Chela and Enzo’s kissing becomes more passionate and soon her clothes are coming off. Suddenly, she FREAKS OUT! She runs screaming out of the room, even falling like in a horror movie and says she CAN’T. What a major ego crusher for a guy. Enzo runs after her, worried.

Ana, meanwhile, is continuing to have her own freak out. She remembers falling for Freddy and the advice about love that her phantom mother gave her. She collapses on the ground calling her mom and crying that she failed.

Chela calls Candy and tells her about her freak out. Pancho listens in on part of the call and thinks it hilarious that Chela ditched Enzo. He doesn’t know the whole story though. Candy tells Chela to jump back on that horse. Actually she tells her to tell Enzo the truth about what she really feels. At first she tries to hide from him when he finds her.

Pina is working hard, even on the weekend. She needs an assistant and Freddy offers his services. He’ll come work with her at Avon after school.

Back on their beautiful balcony, Enzo and Chela are having lunch and she’s apologizing for running off like that. He admits he’s nervous too and understands, and tells her it’s not a requirement that they make love that weekend. She’s surprised he feels that way, but he just wants her to enjoy herself. She admits she doesn’t lack the desire. He doesn’t either. They spend the day wandering the town, eating ice-cream, taking pictures, smooching and flirting.

At the mansion, the Lopez family, plus Rebe, Chacho, and Tomas are having a bbq. Rebe and Temo continue to bond and talk about Meli. She tells him that when two people love each other there’s an unbreakable connection between their hearts and distance doesn’t matter. He and Meli will always be connected, just like she and Pancho. She loves Pancho with all the forces of her heart because he is such a wonderful person. Temo agrees and they hug. Pancho watches proudly and tells Tomas that Rebe is a wonderful woman. He then tells Tomas about Elena’s plan to become a table dancer, and that they need to keep a better eye on her and the people she’s hanging out with.

Chela and Enzo get a full spa treatment that makes me jealous, and we are treated to Enzo’s great bod in tight swim trunks. They both get uber relaxed with full body massages, foot massages, facials, and a sudsy Jacuzzi tub. Much kissing ensues.

Moni and Pepe arrive at the bbq. Moni continues to look pouty and they admit to Pancho that they have had a few troubles settling in. Chacho chats with Chato on the phone and Goya eavesdrops. Chacho is shocked that Chato asked Ado to marry him and stutters that he CAN’T, for some mysterious reason.

Pina freaks out about Ado marrying Chato and leaving to go see her mom in the countryside. She has to swallow many of her Bach drops to cope. Vince also freaks out when he hears the news. Ado puts her foot down and says she’s marrying Chato and going to see her mother! She leaves. Vince gets a call and claims it’s from Enzo. He writes some info down and takes off. Pina is alone once again.

Ana arrives home in tears, but before anyone in the family can see her, Rebe takes her inside to talk. Rebe gives her motherly hugs and kisses, and tells her to fight to realize her dreams. She tells Ana that she will support her, whatever she decides. Ana accepts Rebe’s affection, words, and thanks her!

Meli sighting! She and Temo video-chat. She misses her Temo Amors, as well as Abeja, Popeye and the puppies. Brussels is pretty, but no one speaks Spanish—-just French and a strange language called Flemish.

Chela and Enzo are back in their room eating a romantic dinner, and she’s wearing a hot red dress. She admits that she hasn’t had sex since she was 18, and it doesn’t sound like it was a pleasant experience. She doesn’t want to remember it and gets teary. Enzo assures her that they can wait. Thing is, SHE doesn’t want to wait. They move in for the kiss, which leads to the bed and Enzo saying “te amo”, which leads to articles of clothing being removed, which leads to choppy music, which means Uni feels this scene is too hot for us to handle. Happy Valentine’s Day!!!

Vince takes Candy to the new fancy apartment that he is buying her. It will be their love nest. She loves it.

Rebe has put Temo to bed and Pancho is even more impressed and smitten. She tells him about her chat with Ana and tries to convince Pancho that this is a once in a lifetime opportunity for Ana and she needs the support of her father. Pancho reluctantly agrees.

Joaquin, the jerky manager, threatens to pull the plug on Ana’s record deal. She begs and promises there will be no more freak outs. He says he’ll give her one last chance.

Kari is visiting Freddy and drinking a fruity exotic drink while he drinks his usual milk. She tells him about Ana’s freak out. He’s worried. Arnold comes over to take Pina out to some hot new night spot. Kari tells herself that she can’t fall for Freddy. (Uh oh!) Pina would obviously like Kari as a nuera—-she approves of Kari's blue eyes. After Pina and Arnold leave, Freddy grabs his phone to call Ana, but he and Kari bump into each other’s personal space and have a “moment.” The moment then turns into a kiss!!!

Pancho and Rebe are also smooching when her phone rings. She picks it up and is shocked to see that it’s MIKE, her ex-fiancé.

Tomorrow: Rebe tells Pancho that it was Mike who called. Glamazon Barbie ambushes Chela and Enzo and slaps Enzo. Pina plots with Goya to break up Ado and Chato.
