Caray, Caray!

• Eva, horrified that Helena's on the other side of the door, throws his/her voice deeply and invents a mysterious male visitor, desperately stalling. Helena, who's come to apologize, is amused and curious when a bit later Eva comes out holding her robe tightly closed around her neck and clutching a pair of men's pants
  
  "You never tell me about YOUR life, Eva." "I'm timid about these things." "Is that guy your boyfriend?" "Of course not! I'm still in morning." Eva admits to being a meddler. Helena: "But you're a great person! Still - don't meddle." Helena smiles hugely.
  
  
• At a nice restaurant, Mimi and Adri talk about Eva, Mimi can't seem to get Adri to concentrate on her fine assets although he does say: "I like you, you have a good sense of humor." She tells him she inherited the pension she manages.
  
  Adri: "I always thought women should be in the house or in the bed, they shouldn't have power. They were born to embellish and we men were born to govern." "You think like somebody from the 14th century."
  
  JC later explains to Mimi: Adri sees women as objects because he's neer been in love. "You and he are water and oil, find somebody else."
  
  
• Marcela and Fer have clearly had good sex and are very happy. They tell each other they've never been unfaithful. All is cozy until Fer lets slip that "Candy Suite" was indeed a prostitute but not for him - for their son Kevin! Marcela is furious. Marcela: "It's normal he's not interested in girls right now, leave him alone. Respect his sentiments."
  
  Meanwhile Kevin has slicked back his hair, bought flowers, and gone to visit - is it that very prostitute? She thinks he's adorable. He's in lurve.
  
  
• JC/Eva was invited to his mom's house for the night: it's her wedding anniversary but her husband (JC's dad) is on a trip. Eva arrives with flowers and treats. "How did you know my favorites?!" Eugenia says it's not the first time she spent her anniversary alone. "Your husband, pardon me, he's a cro-magnon." "It's ok. But that's why I invited you!"
  
  Eugenia tells Eva she loved being in telenovelas and films. Eva showers her with compliments. Eugenia says of her son: "He inherited my talent (and my histrionic nature) but his dad feared he would become soft and feminine. He educated Juan Carlos to be a "man" ---" It's sad. Eva says, "Let's have a great friendship."
  
  
• Finally Lalo is packed. Silvia tells him, "Leave some games for when you come to see us." Dad glowers. Plutarco shows up to drive. Helena is not so happy her dad called Pluto and she'd rather have taken a taxi. She feels in debt again. (Later Eduardo sulks in the quiet house. Silvia says: "Children are lent to us. We had eight years with him." Later still she warns him: "You're working too much, you need to rest more. He tells her to go away.)
  
  At the new place we see that Pluto has brought Lalo a satin soccer ball. He simpers to Helena, "Your happiness is enough for me!"
  
  Pluto's phone rings, he pretends it's Adriano but it's really Rebecca, she wants a corporate meeting in the jacuzzi. "You're starting to remind me of the whale," he snarls. She wants an expensive engagement ring and tells the air: "I have only put up with you for what you could give me." He tells the air: "You'll have to wait, Rebeca, because I only want to marry Helena."
  
  Undeterred, Rebeca barges in to his house unannounced saying "Mohammed has come to the mountain." She attacks him. She wants to remodel the house and she wants sex. He says he's tired. She wants to awaken his beast. He yields but evidently does not do his best work. "You were like Bambi, not a beast. I wanted something more savage." They fight.
  
  
• Eva brings the cd with data she swiped from Pluto to work. It's encrypted and JC is no computer whiz. Felix (who I believe is the one who did the dirty work for Pluto and probably encrypted the cd) comes in, smitten with Eva and ready to do her bidding, but she smacks him and sends him away.
  
  
• Mousse boy sorts notebooks for the meeting, Lucia comes in to flirt, he ignores her until she tempts him thus: "I have lunch with Helena and other important people from the company." That interests him. In the bathroom he heard men gossiping about Juan Carlos, the money fraud and the stolen project.
  
  
• There is a tiresome board meeting during which the men get lectured for interrupting and talking over the women. Also Helena says the PR department (Rebeca) screwed up badly by not inviting Playa Majagua locals to some social event they had. And then the meeting's over and, of course, Eva's precious espionage cd gets mixed in with Playa Majagua cds and Rebeca ends up with it. Smarter than Eva, she calls Felix to tell him to come help her with it.
  
  
• There's going to be a convention in Los Vegas. (Thanks for the typo correction Madelaine.) In the past Juan Carlos with his stooges represented Grupo Imperio there. Marcela would like to go. But Adriano says he's going this year, and he invites Eva to go with him: "I don't want to go alone."
