Caray, Caray!

• Pluto is having an al fresco lunch with Helena, who is warmly and trustingly confiding in him. Eva is late -- she's doing her makeup with Mimi and complaining: "I have to get out of this disguise, Pluto is making a play for MY Helena." "You can't! If you show up they'll throw you in jail and he'll have a clear path. And besides, you haven't found one clue to the fraud. And another thing, Helena is not YOURS, she is not a thing, don't be so macho. Eva and I will teach you, Juan Carlos, not to be such a jerk." JC says he never thought, before he knew Mimi, that a man and a woman could actually be friends.
  
  Eva arrives at the intimate lunch Helena is having with Pluto. Pluto has a surprise: he has talked to Max Montes, supposedly Eva's great love, and Max denies having ever known Eva. Eva bursts into tears: "All men are alike! They promise you eternal love and then pretend to forget you!" Good one. Pluto is about to call Max and put Eva on the phone but Eva cries more and says, "no more humilliations, at my age I can't take it."
  
  Back at Mimi's, JC says: I have to find Max Montes! And I've figured out a way to separate Pluto and Helena" He calls Antonia: "It occurred to me you should go back to GI, it's your business. Take care of your weight and go back to work. You have too much talent to stay home." Tony (eating) says she'll go back. "Don't say it was my idea." "I was thinking about it anyway - I just needed a little push. You're my Pepe Grillo." (That's Jimeny Cricket.)
  
  
• Adriano's baby love lounges on his desk and whines until he agrees to go to the dance hall with her. He is exhausted (or hungover).
  Paty baby has dragged Santi out to a disco. He thinks they don't have the momey for a huge wedding. She doesn't care. "Borrow it! I'll organize the loan," she decress.
  
  Meanwhile, elsewhere in the same disco, Adriano feels out of place, the strobe lights make him dizzy. His baby love shows up looking fabulous. He wants him at the VIP area where the pictures are getting taken. She wants the whole world to see them together. She jumps up and down, "Dance with me!" she orders. He is getting into it when Santi sees him. Impactado! When Adriano hears that Paty baby and Santi think he's with his daughter, it embarrasses him, he stops dancing and goes home. She mopes for a nanosecond and then keeps dancing. He, though, mopes all the way home into his palace and guzzles booze. Maybe he'll have a heart attack. He looks to his fish for consolation.
  
  
• Evil gramps is meeting with a private investigator or a lawyer who has found some mysterious information to discredit Helena and make it easier for him to get custody of Lalo. "I need time to prepare for battle and what you've given me is perfect."
  He sneaks the mysterious papers home and snarls at his wife. Then, that evening as Helena is saying goodnight to Lalo evil gramps lurks in the hallway and insults Helena, who says she'll soon have the money she owes him. Her mom warns her the dad is scheming. Helena: "I thought she saw Juan Carlos. I've been thinking about him a lot."
  
• Marcela and her husband watch their kids go off with a bunch more kids. This clueless husband asks her: "Does it look to you like there are more women studying these days? Are all those women taking classes in cooking?" "Honey, would you like us to move to Iran?"
• Antonia comes to GI and announces to her dismayed husband: "This isn't a visit, I've decided to come back to work." "Uh but your health? you need to rest more." "No. I can be your right hand in the Playa Majagua project." "That's Helena's job." "We'll see about that..."
  Rebe has redone Antonia's huge office in pink and is very chummy with her. She poisons Tony against Helena: "She's a devil!" "Let's put her in her place!"
  
  Naturally Tony overhears the tail end of a gossipy chat between Helena and her friend with the bangs, who has a boyfriend "Mau" and is in a hurry to have the relationship progress because her train is leaving." When Tony hears H. say about JC: "The love I feel for him is impossible," she thinks the impossible love is with TONY'S HUSBAND PLUTO. She comes in and says she's taking over Helena's project and insinuates Helena plagiarized from the famous thesis. Helena: "Are you firing me?" "No, but you'll be working for me. I'll need your help less every day."
  
  
  
• Eva asks Tony why she is acting so crazy. Tony says Helena is after her husband. Eva tries to talk her down. "Leave Helena along, don't be paranoid. Your jealousy will ruin your marrage. Control yourself."
• Pluto tells Onesimo he's furious his wife is back, it will just make things more 'complicated' with Helena. "Find her an apartment right now!" he orders Onesimo, who infers Pluto has already scored. He finds a great, expensive apartment ("What a great love nest it will be!" Pluto tells Helena he's cleared up the problems with Lucia's apartment and also has found a nice place for Helena and Lalo. "I can't accept, your wife is jealous." "It's just a game we play, theatrical jealousy, actually we are madly in love with each other." ??
  
  
  He takes her to see this big fancy apartment. She says "It's great, but I can't pay the deposit or the rent. I can't accept it." "This is my friend's apartment, he's out of the country and wants a good housesitter who can pay a minimum amount." We leave with her grinning ear to ear at her good luck and him looking pretty pleased with his plans.
