Caray, Caray!

• At the hen party, Eva/JC has gastritis caused by finding out he'd gotten Samanta pregnant. He cries in the bathroom. For her part, Helena is upset to find out about yet another conquest of JC's.
  
  
  
• Fer wants to get a whore for his son, whose sexuality he doubts. At home, he yells for his wife and though he's too drunk to find the bedroom he has sex on his mind. Marcela plasters ooze onto her face to avoid him.
  
  Next day she tells him: "We have to have a very serious conversation about sex." Perhaps related to her story to the girls of her "cousin's friend" whose husband thought sex should take about three minutes?
  
  
  
• Eva later asks Samanta: "Why did you never tell JC?" "We met at conventions, at first it was only sex. I knew he wasn't a man who could commit himself, but I fell in love. When I thought about telling him I saw he had another lover. I couldn't count on him for anything. He wouldn't have cared at all if he'd had a child. So I had an abortion."
  
  Eva tries to stand up for her former self but hears a lot of unpleasant truths concluding with: "He broke the hearts of hundreds of women. At least he's rotting in hell now -- but I'm still sad."
  
  JC moans to Mimi: "When I think about Lalo and then about that poor child never born... I was a vile cretin, an egoist. I deserve everything that's happened to me. No wonder she wanted vengeance." He vows to undo some of the damage he did her.
  
  
  
• Next morning three of the girls in turquoise come into Rebe's office all cheery, thinking they're all chums now, but Rebe freezes them out. "I am a big cheese and y'all are merely window dressing."
  
  
  
• Helena wants to go on with her life and even fall in love again. "That's a terrible idea" squeals Eva. Eva mocks Helena's new assistant for his upturned moussed 'do and pegs him as a Don Juan in the making.
  
  
  
• JC/Eva dives under the reception desk seeing mother Eugenia in the foyer saying goodbye. "Marcela, wasn't that the fabulous Eugenia, actress with the million dollar face? Why was she here?" "She has some mental lapses, she came to see her dead son."
  
  JC gets the phone number and calls his mom. He talks to her in his own voice and she is overjoyed: "How have you been, my love?" "I miss you so much." "I want to help you, listen to you, where are you?" "Very far away, but I think about you always. I can't come back until I can prove my innocence." "I prefer you far away than in jail! You're everything to me! Call me more often." This was so sweet.
  
  Eugenia catches sight of Eva and is sure she recognizes her/him. S/he says, "JC and I were really close friends, can I come visit you sometimes?" "Thanks, yes, sometimes I feel so lonely, it would be good to have a friend." They embrace.
  
  
  
• Eva calls Samanta dozens of times and goes to her house, no answer, finally Samanta calls and says: "Because of our conversation last night, I'm leaving G.I. to accept another offer which will take me far, far away. You were right, I need to get over my resentment. Goodbye."
  
  Helena is glad Samanta is leaving: "I would be so uncomfortable around another woman whose heart had been broken by Juan Carlos." "Resentment will rot your internal organs" warns Eva. "Right, let's just forget about him," Helena concludes.
  
  
  
• Lucia can't stop harassing Mousse Boy. Santi comes along to remind them he's getting married this weekend and sort of causes it to happen that Mousse Boy is reluctantly going to accompany Lucia to the wedding. He's Just Not That Into Her.
  
  
  
• Adriano asks Eva how the hen party went. Eva denies that they missed having men around. Adriano makes snide comments about women and Eva derides his "ugly commentary" and calls him a misogynist. So he asks her out on a date and plays his pathetic "lonely" card to persuade her.
  
  
  
• Plutarco with his big crocodile grin invites himself over to Helena's to hang with her and Lalo.
  
  Then my computer rebooted. When it came to itself, Pluto was in Lalo's new room pretending to be interested in the interior decorating Helena has been doing. She is overjoyed that Lalo's coming to live with her at last, so of course we know there will be a hitch.
  
  Pluto asks her repeatedly, "Aren't you ready to start your life again?" He makes it clear he's interested but she firmly declares she only cares about Lalo.
  
  Onesimo is later amused: "Your greatest rival, and he's not even nine years old." When Pluto gets an evil twinkle in his eye Onesimo worries: "You're not going to steal that boy and put him in an orphanage are you?"
  
  Pluto figures he can do better than that and be a hero to Helena. We don't know his exact plot, but it involves (according to the avances) the sudden dread appearance of Lalo's father Mario.
