Caray, Caray!

A slow-moving episode. Argh! Pluto and Helena will have a party soon to celebrate being a couple! Eva, crushed: "How about the promise you made Antonia at the altar?" "My dearest Antonia is sadly dead, now I love this face and these eyes." Eva leaves in tears. Pluto and Helena kiss and kiss. Lucia rubs salt in the wound, rattling on, 'what a cute couple...' Jaime's song queries: "What will I do with my life now?"

Angelica calls Santi, it's hard doing nothing! He thinks she should study something, she thinks she should go spend money at clubs. A somewhat menacing tune suggests the guy at the front desk asking for Santi is a problem, and asi es: Santi is way behind in his payments on the super-expensive apartment Patty-baby made him sign for (and which he's never lived in), and he owes for the renovations too. Like, a million. He looks quite ill.

Lovesick Adri, playing golf in his office, calls Eva to hear her voice and then breaks a window. Meanwhile Pluto takes Helena home where she can hang out with Lalo while recuperating. She admits Pluto is her squeeze. Lalo's ok with that: "I just want you to be as happy as you were when Juan was alive."

Rebe can't find her cellphone and is annoyed to be taking orders from Mousse Boy, he's in charge of Playa Majagua while Helena's out sick. Eva staggers in wincing with gastritis and Rebe thinks again: that's just like Juan Carlos. She brings in a doctor to have a look at Eva! "Don't touch me!" screams Eva! "And no, I'm not loosening my belt, I don't do that. Take this doctor away! I prefer the teas, herbs, and natural remedies of my home town!"

Rebe leaves with pages 4-5 of the fraud report and reading it realizes: if Pluto had contact with Juan's mom, he too could have been involved.

I see by the way Adri puts his arm around Mimi in the elevator that she's making progress. She slips away, he bangs his head in frustration. Despite his natty mauve tie, he's not getting any from anybody!

When Marcela wants to take him to a nice restaurant, Fer says he has work to do (hahaha he types with one finger.) One of the girls comes in and irritates him further by gushing: "All the world knows how great she is, and just imagine, she used to be a receptionist."

The gossiping office babes next tease Lucia for having sex with Renato in the office.

Pluto and Adri tell Eva the business can't afford to rehire the fired women. Eva says she'll keep looking for a way: "For you two, those women of scarce resources are nothing, but not for me." After Eva leaves Pluto yells that Adri is too influenced by love! "Love is making me a better man," Adri counters.

Lucia, Helena and Silvia say nothing of importance.

Mousse Boy convinces Adri he can head up the important meeting tomorrow with construction representatives. He'd like Helena's job permanently, I'm sure.

Fer yells at Marcela when she comes back, he's pouting because it took her so long to bring his lunch. She tucks a napkin under his chin and feeds him. He's miserable to hear that next month she'll probably get another bonus.

Juan to Mimi: "Somebody used my name to put money in my mother's account. It was the day she was lost and I found her in the theater. I'll never forget it, because that same day I asked Helena to marry me."

Lame end to a lame episode, Lucia badgers Mousse Boy about the gossip. "Did you tell people something happened between us?" "I'm a gentleman, I'd never talk about you. Stop listening to gossip."

Tomorrow: Eugenia tells Rebeca that Juan Carlos is at Grupo Imperio!
