Caray, Caray!

• Ana is moping for Freddy, and vice versa, she crossly soliloquys: Get Lost, You Traitor.
  
  Karin admits to Moni: she loves Freddy but is embarrassed to have stolen him from Ana.
  
• Pepe gets home, the atmosphere in the apartment is stiff, Kari leaves. Moni went shopping with her mom. Pepe, disgusted: "You wouldn't be happy even with all the money in the world. Think about it."
  
• Elena gets earrings from her ikky old dude. She would like to be his kept woman. Her old dud (I mean dude) tells her to strip.
  
  They are writhing on the couch, eeew, Elena is getting groped by the old dude, but his wife and kid bang on the door! Dud basically throws her out the window. (Wife came back because the kid has a fever.)
  
  The wife closes the window, Elena is on some sort of ledge and one of her earrings has fallen off. She goes down the fire escape. Such is the glamorous life of the "bit on the side."
  
• Vince's lawyer has called in the technician from the DNA lab to offer a shifty job: a million pesos if he'll change the results of Fernanda's DNA test to NEGATIVE. "I am a professional, it is unethical," the tech bleats feebly, but when he is given a folder, many pages enumerating his debts, he caves, though: "This work will cost double what you've asked." Vince says he'll get the other half when the deed is done.
  
• Speaking of people who don't need DNA tests, Chato's wife has had her baby and the sweet little creature is black. And doesn't have the huge nose Chato and his friends have been looking for. Chato (the mooing informs us) is wearing the horns.
  
  Chato confronts the wife. "It happens," she explains. She says it's his fault for being such a flirt and ladies' man (mujeriego). They agree a divorce would be in order. She has this hunky black guy in Los Angeles, after all...
  
  Chato's son, poor thing, hasn't noticed his new little sister is black. ("Dad, she looks exactly like you!") The wife will take him back to Los Angeles. Chato gives her the delicious kiss-off "hasta nunca." (Which reminds me of the famous song, "Do Nothing Till You Hear From Me (And You Never Will)."
  
  Pancho tells Chato he deserved it and warns him not to dare bother poor Adoracion again.
  
  Chato tells his hopeful kid he won't be going back to L.A. with them but "We can talk on the telephone." Until now he hasn't spared a moment to think about this poor kid.
  
• Fernanda really wants to tell Pancho he's her son. Lupita says they should keep it quiet but she hates lying to evetyone.
  
• Idiot Vince comes tomcatting round Amazon Barbie (whose cuerpazo annoys me). Violeta laughably calls Chela vulgar, pot meet kettle! Glamazon asks about Candy, Vince rolls her name in his mouth cheerfully, Glamazon sneers: "You were in love with a masseuse?" "Love is foolish."
  
  Meanwhile, Candy, whose idiocy now matches or surpasses Vince's, is calling him and calling him. He doesn't answer. He boasts to Violeta about helping Enzo rise from the ranks of the unwashed car washers. Violeta sends Vince away without even a kiss. Look, don't touch, moron.
  
• Pepe now believes only money would make Moni happy. She denies it.
  
• Freddy gets Karin shoved down his throat by his snobby mother, who notes Kari is "of your class."
  
• Fernanda gets the faked negative DNA result from the crooked lab guy. I think this is all trumped up, what difference does it make really? But she's all, boo-hoo boo-hoo.
  
• At breakfast Vince receives a call from the president of Ines' cosmetics company Belle Face, requesting a meeting with all the Avon execs in Acapulco that very day. Vince and the mystery president are obviously chummy.
  
  Since I haven't been watching (I can't take any more of these double-hour weeks!!) I don't know why Avon would even be considering a merger with their enemy competitor. Rebe and Panho are indeed skeptical. Vince won't say who the new president of Belle Face is but notes that their finances are "healthy."
  
  So they all go to the airport! Pancho's never been on a airport before. He's nauseated just anticipating it and clutches his sandwiches but Rebe takes them away. Who'll take are of his kids if he dies? He panics at length.
  
  Finally on the ground again, Pancho drops to the floor and kisses it. His team is all in white.
  
  The mystery president's assistant (in hotpants) gets a light spraying of drool from Vicente.
  
  Oh, what do you know, the famous "brilliant" president is Mike!
  
  Let's talk about this actor for a minute. He is so ugly, he never smiles, and he has painted his skin orange, and has never been anything but an enemy in any telenovela. What charm did Rebe ever find in him?
  
  While he stands there pouting (oh, and he's wearing pink lipstick), a video of his magnificent credentials rolls behind him. It's hilarious. He attended Harvard and Yale! Oh, I'm impressed, aren't you? Don't you find him amazingly ugly? Worse than Chato in my opinion. (But not as ugly as Rubberlips.)
  
• Ana cries about Freddy; Lupita explains "you're crying because you love him." Ana wants to break his snout, and Karin's too.
  
  Freddy barges in with a yearning look. She resists and aims her blunderbuss of guilt at him: "When I met you I never thought you'd love me, you seemed so inaccessible.... you are the love of my life... but you failed me!"
  
  She grinds him down with guilt! She sends him away "forever!" She advances on him menacingly with a pool cue so he leaves. She sobs some more.
  
• Candy and Chela are also in Acapulco too! Candy does not look good in a bikini IMO. Pathetially, she thinks having face-time (that's a euphemism) with Vince in such a romantic place will rekindle romance.
  
• Writhing with boredom in that meeting, Vince wants to know when it's recess. OK, now, little Vincentito, Mike excuses them all and then he and Vince go out for drinks - but first, Mike leers at Rebe while congratulating Pancho for his good taste in women.
  
• Fer: "I know Pancho is my son, a mother is never wrong." DNA guy: calls Vince for the other half of his dough. He tells Vine the verdulero is in fact Fer's son. "He's my COUSIN???!!!" Vince wails heavenward in extreme anguish!
  
• Like any proper pouting pink-lipsticked orange-hided buzzard of an ex-boyfriend, Mike has flowers and cards delivered to Rebe, and he calls her and texts her incessantly - "you never answer me!" he complains when she finally accepts his call. "Have you forgotten what happened in Miami? Are we here for business or so you can make me miserable?" Rebe asks.
  
  He says he just wants to talk to her... Pancho was very jealous, but then cheered himeself up with the ocean and he kissed Rebe happily. Hotpants points out to Mike: "She hates you." "But I will never stop loving her."
  
• Vince, a sucker for a mountain of shiny womanflesh, tells Enzo Violeta is a Monument. He doesn't care that she's crazy!
  
• Back in the not very squalid apartment (remember Dolly Parton's old saw, "It costs a lot of money to look this cheap?" The props department didn't have enough money to make this joint properly awful) Moni dresses up nicely and Pepe makes hamburgers.
  
  Moni admits it was the raging neighbor who broke her car windows. In high dudgeon Pepe rushes towards the door to go do that bad neighbor. Moni yells: "If you leave, you won't see me again!" She doesn't want an escalation, she doesn't want more fear...
  
  ... Her snobby complaints start to grate on Pepe: "You think you're doing me a favor living here? You have to 'tolerate' it?"
  
  Moni, who right now is reminding me of that lady in Dickens who complains more than anybody else does about the cold and damp because "I feel it more!" complains: "It's hard for me to live here." "So why do you stay?" She stomps out.
  
• Rebeka goes downstairs in the hotel to meet with Mike. She slugs him. He loves it.
