Caray, Caray!

* Victoria tells Adriana about Furry Casanova’s cheating. Adri freaks out as her memories from her childhood surface: oh please, this can’t be happening to Victoria, the strongest pillar of the Balvanera family, she wasn’t born to repeat the sad story of their mother.

* Nikki, who’s world turned upside down last week, pulls a total Adela Noriega in this episode, she cries and/or she’s depressed in every single scene of hers. So when Blondie tries to ask her if she wants to go out in the afternoon, she explodes and sends the surprised guy to hell. He’s a lustful animal, a cheater, a liar just like her father, she hates him, she hates him, she hates him! Guzmán’s totally shocked by her raw pain and emotions, and he says he really cares about her and there’s nothing between him and Polita, but she isn’t interested in his side of the story.

* Odiodette calls Jean Marie, calls him her friend, and invites him for a cup of coffee in her office. While Juan María is over the moon, Polita expresses her indignation over the Witch’s shenanigans, and states that JM will get into a big a trouble.


* Another busy day at the hall of Meta Imagen: while Beatriz is doing the usual receptionist stuff, Salsa Dude is sitting on a couch and enjoying the sight through his beloved sunglasses, as usual. Kendra shows up in the hall looking for Nelson. She joins Salsero and they insult each other, as usual. (oh, you still try to become Mrs. Brizz, don’t you – oh you have a new toy, don’t you). In the meantime poor Betty gets a phonecall from her creepy stalker pig of a husband: hey, Beatriz, you won’t get rid of me that easily. Then Daddy Gambler arrives at the agency, and when Aníbal overhears that the dashing old rascal is Bea’s father, he becomes extremely friendly and introduces himself to Felipe.


* In Nelson’s office the Furminator and Kendho continue their petty little games: oh, I love you, my Teddy Bear – whatever, we must maintain a professional relationship in front of Aníbal and Victoria, understood? Tomorrow they’ll start a huge new campaign.

* At the Balvanera’s Nikki keeps on crying about her parents in her room, while the adohhhrable Guzmi, who knows exactly how she feels, tries to console her. He swears he’ll never, ever betray her trust, and then they hug each other. More crying.


* Kendra actually has the nerve to offer her help to Casanova: look, she and Vicky are on good terms, she can convince her to forgive him. Because his happiness is the most important thing for her. *Viewerville: we’ll vomit* Nelson and his little furry Nelson are impressed by her selflessness.

* Cris finally swallows her pride and goes back to the Balvanera’s where she and José Ángel have a beautiful and touching reconciliation scene. She apologizes to Angel (no, there’s no need to apologize, woman – no, I have to! – no, you don’t, if I had been in your position, I would’ve died of jealousy, too – I love you – I love you, too), makes amends with Victoria (another lovely moment), and everyone loves everyone… Until Adriana shows up on the scene. Angel and Cristina are pleased to meet the nice lady, but when they introduce her to Liliana, they get the most intense “Call of Blood” scene EVER. The teary-eyed Adriana and Lili speechlessly stare at each other for minutes and they freak everyone out a little bit. Cristina and Arriaga tell the crying girl that they won’t separate and everything will be all right, but she just keeps on weeping. Liliana doesn’t know what’s happening to her, she just has that strange premonition feeling in her stomach, like when the Big Angel was in danger, and she feels like she’s known Adri her whole life. They hug each other tightly.


* At Meta Imagen Aníbal asks Hilda to find out which one is the best private detective agency because he wants to find a person. Oh Candelaria, love of my life, what art thou doing nowadays?

* Adriana and Liliana are still crying. This is getting old, and that’s precisely what Cristina’s thinking too, because she asks Lili not to bother the lady, and then leads her to the kitchen. While the Arriagas assure Lili that they love her much, in the living room the Balvanera sisters are discussing what happened. Adriana is intrigued by the young girl, but anyway, there’s something she has to tell Victoria… *drumrolls* Aníbal has been lying to them all this time because her baby didn’t die!


* Nikki decides to take a walk on the fresh air, and she tries to brush Guzmán off by running away from him. Then she imagines Nelson having sex with his mistress, and she’s so horrified by it that she crosses the road without looking around… and of course she almost ends up dead. Frankie hugs the sobbing girl who keeps saying that she’s scared, so scared.


* Adriana can’t tell Vicky more… Not yet. First she has to exhume Lucía’s remains. Victoria is shocked at the news but she supports her sister: she understands that Adri needs to find out what happened to her child. However, Adriana still can’t stomach that Aníbal and Victoria are on good terms, and when he finds out that her father lives in the hacienda, she explodes: soon everyone will find out what a perverse evil old man he is, and it’s high time for Victoria to accept the facts.


* At Meta Imagen Hilda and Aníbal talk about Beatriz, who’s a very capable and efficient employee. Hilda informs him that she’s Frankie’s sister.

* Nikki are Guzmi are sitting in a breathtaking park and they are having a deep conversation about their parents and her fears. Francisco is really worried about her health and he tries to convince her that she should get her serious eating disorder treated. He pulls a bunch of empty chocolate (?) wrapping papers out of his pocket and says he found them under her bed. Now please, trust him and tell him how her bulimia started.

* In the home office Victoria calls a business partner of hers (or a photographer? a director?) and they talk about the advertisement they are going to shoot next day with Kendra. Big Angel enters the room and apologizes for Liliana’s behavior. There’s no need for that, says Vicky, and she’s notices that Arriaga looks much calmer. Yes, he feels very calm and happy now that he and Cristina settled their differences. Maybe Victoria should have a talk with Nelson, too. Vicky explodes: come on, Arriaga, their situations are very different! He had a misunderstanding with his wife, but they love and respect each other. But her marriage with Nelson is beyond repair, she can never trust him again.


* And finally Nikki pours her heart out to Francisco: one day she wanted to be in a commercial, but when she was in the dressing room, she overheard the other models who were talking about her. They said she was too fat to be a model and she only got that job because her mother was the owner of the agency. Nikki was devastated and decided to become skinnier than those girls. And one day a friend of hers told her that she didn’t have to deprive herself of anything, all she had to do was to throw up after every meal. She tried it out and she felt relieved and clean… because food is like a poison for her that intoxicates her body. And she’s afraid of other people, she’s afraid that nobody likes her, and even her boyfriends are only interested in her money. And no, Guzmán isn’t different from them, he’s with her only because that’s his job. Frankie objects, but Nikki wants to know why he puts up with her whims. How about Polita and the night he spent with her? Guzmán swears that he and Polita are only friends, and he loves Nikki. Truly, really, completely. He almost kisses her. You don’t love me, says Nikki with contempt, if you love me, why don’t you kiss me? Because it’s not right, says the guy while he’s struggling with his feelings. Nikki keeps on crying: please, stop with this bullsh*t, when you really love someone, nothing matters, okay? Admit it that you don't love me, neta equis dammit whatever, I don’t care... And this is the moment when Frankie plants a very-super-neta passionate kiss on her lips. Whoa. It’s getting hot in the room.
