Caray, Caray!

We rerun Silvia's most recent kiss-off of Eduardo. I just hope she can stick to it this time. "Goodbye forever," her note says. He looks surprised and maybe even a bit regretful. Idiot. Silvia goes back to Helena's apartment and says: "You were right, men like him never change."

Renato wants Jackie to spread rumors that he's squeezing Rebeca, even though Rebeca reminds us she doesn't put out for salaried plebes. She prays to the Virgincita to save her from nacos.

Santiago calls Lucia - he's drunk, she's sleepy. She boasts: "Renato has come back to me." He, on the other hand, feels Angelica is putting the horns on him. Also, they're of different classes, she threatened to incinerate him, they're oil and water. The phonecall ends when Angelica comes home. Santi yells at her, she points out he's drunk, he makes a pass at her, she turns him down.

As Silvia cries on Helena's shoulder the doorbell rings. It's Eduardo. Helena tells him to leave but Silvia goes out in the hallway with him to say she wants a divorce. They've had this exact conversation before FF>>

New day. Wait, what is this? Is Fernando actually going to do some cleaning up? The house is an amazing mess. Marcela gives him housecleaning tasks, he doesn't even complain, he's obviously eating humble pie. He's as pathetic at housework as you might imagine, and even hurts his back picking up a hankie. Uh oh, better not strain himself, he thinks...

At work, Lucia greets a hungover Santi. He says the fact Angelica isn't drinking any more proves she has a lover! Lucia says, you have no proof of anything.

Angelica asks Rebe to give her an alibi.

Helena tells Juan/Eva: "We must not suspect Eva - Juan's mother has cleared her." I think this is the most idiotic plot retardant ever. JC hasn't told Helena he's Eva? Give me a #^$%# break.

Helena then tells Juan/Eva: "I'm beginning to believe you're not guilty but don't call me 'my love,' and further, I have no reason to suspect Pluto of anything."

Rebe tells Adri they should have a big party for the 25th anniversary of GI. Adri isn't really listening but when Renato says it's a good idea, she gets an ok, and permission to go to Acapulco to scout out possibilities.

Rebe tells Santi: "I was with Angelica in a bar last night." But Santi hears Jackie tell Lucia: "Rebe was here at work VERY LATE with Renato last night." So Angelica was lying! Santi and Lucia yell at each other that they're going to find proof that their sweeties are unfaithful!

Lucia confronts Rebe (for stealing her man). Rebe: "Renato is not what he appears..." Eva hustles Lucia away before Rebe can say "he's gay."

Helena tells Eva: "I've talked to Juan." !! Whoever did the fraud is very clever. It's Raul Mendoza they must seek, but he's on a long trip... Pluto enters. His mouth drops open when Eva asks him what he knows about Mendoza, but he gets the whole commercial break to come up with an answer. "Yes, I know him, but these 'work friendships' aren't much. Why do you mention him?" Eva: "I need a lawyer for some business concerning my aunt Maria Ingrata (heheh)." "Is she about to die?" Why do you always hope for the worst? No, it's that vultures are after my aunt's little nest egg... that's why we were talking about him. ... but you look kind of pale..."

Daniel is going to take Jennifer to Acapulco, they'll be alone...

Marcela pays back the money Fer ripped off. Adri can't understand why she doesn't dump the loser. She says Fer's an idiot but not a bad person. "And you love him." "Sometimes I doubt I'm doing right, but he's my life, I chose him and promised before God to stay with him. Yes, I love him." "Without love, we can't live," Adri hums a little song.

End of the day, Fernando's family comes home, the house is worse than when they left. Marcela yells. Fer says, "This kind of work is for women. I got a job, so now things can be as they used to be."

Jenny takes advantage of Fer's good mood to say she wants to spend the weekend with some friends to 'study.' "I, as head of the family, give you permission," says Fer, though Marcela wanted phone number, names, addresses.

Pluto gives Helena the snake eye for mistrusting him.

Tomorrow: Pluti and Helena go to Acapulco, followed by Juan in his dreadful moustache and cowboy hat. Also Rebeca. Also, I assume, Jennifer and Daniel. Pool party!
