Caray, Caray!

• Real Eva is quite a dynamo isn't she? Besides her cuerpazo and her fine personal style, she is handy with the butt end of a gun.
  
  Also, her interior design skills are impressive. She's turned Mimi's pension into a red-and-gold bordello with naked statues and nearly-naked "masseuses" in what they're calling a "spa de hombres," hee-hee.
  
  Mimi complains that Real Eva has also brought cockroaches into her nice boarding house and that she doesn't want it to be a "casa de citas," a place of vice and perdition. Real Eva makes vague threats about Juan's dangerous situation and insists: "My mother left this pension to ME." "Your mother was a saint, she deserved better than you."
  
  "I'll denounce you! I'll say you have no permits for running a boarding house." "Oh, and you have permits for running a 'spa' - ??" "My important clients will protect me. And you stole my name. I'm going to flatten you! [machacar]"
  
  
• Fer is so unspeakable, you just have to roll with it and enjoy his short-sighted [sic] narcissistic infantile approach to life. Eva comes by and tries to figure out if he's faking his blindness. Fer righteously expects his wife to quit work to take care of him.
  
  Eva suggests to Marcela that she could work from home for a while. "But my family expects me to resign." Fer sits around like a wounded lion king expecting people to put peeled grapes into his mouth.
  
  I'm glad to hear nasty Daniel hasn't been answering Jennifer's texts (but she is sad).
  
  
• Rebeca comes into her office to find the blue dress girls packing her pics of Ricky Martin into a box. Renato comes in, gloating that she's been fired. She, bitterly: "I'm sure there will be champagne and confetti, you're all enjoying my fall." "Yes, we're all glad you're leaving." On the way out he snatches one of her magazines (William Levy the cover boy). "Oh no, not William!" she laments, hee hee.
  
  Rebeca stamps towards the elevator in a rage. "You hyenas are glad I'm leaving." Yes, they are all laughing, it's wonderful. "Reap what you sow, Rebe," says Eva.
  
  Rebe sees Pluto and yells about the ten years she spent shagging him while he was married to the whale. "My vengeance will be apocalyptic," she vows.
  
  Pluto calls Onesimo and orders him to give Rebe "a warning."
  
  
• Magda passes along her flower biz to Silvia and they bless each other.
  
  
• Eva/JC asks Renato why Rebeca was fired and wonders what happened to the incriminating cd she had.
  
  
• Before the meeting, Helena sneaks into Adri's office to spy. (Don't you like Adri's big photo of Donald Trump surrounded by bimbos?) She finds another copy of the fake thesis. Renato comes in and asks what she's doing. He buys (with suspicion) her explanation that she was looking for papers.
  
  
• Pluto the temporary boss calls a brief meeting just to say: Rebe will be replaced, nobody is indispensible. Eva says he shouldn't have fired Rebe without Adri's agreement and Helena agrees: "Rebe was good at her job."
  
  Pluto asks Marci why she's been absent so much. She stammers: "My husband is blind from a work accident." Pluto is unmoved. His hinted threats of taking her work away actually cause her to ... not quit.
  
  Alone with Pluto, Eva decries his 3 day reign of terror. Pluto: "It's your fault Adri got soft, he no longer has the coldness one needs in business." "Actually, it's scruples and kindness that are needed in business." "If it weren't for you, Adri would still be here; I owe my new position to you, thanks, Eva."
  
  Eva counters: "I'll get Adri back here and he'll put you in your place. You didn't love your spouse Antonio, it's your fault she's dead." "I didn't kill her!" "You are insanely defensive. Anyway, this business won't fall into the hands of an imbecile like you. Practice waving your water bottle around, you haven't mastered the knack yet." Pluto curses Eva.
  
  
• Onesimo goes to see Rebe. "I need you now," she wails, "do you know why I wasn't fired sooner?" She mentions the compromising video and asks him to help her get vengeance. "Pluto ordered me to to frighten you but I can't touch you... except for looovve... Yes, we should get vengeance on him. Let's leave the country with his millions. With that dough I can keep you living in the style you prefer. And if you don't come, Pluto will get you sooner or later."
  
  We can all agree Onesimo is in over his head, but he continues wheedling/threatening: "I'm dying for your anatomy -- and also for your little heart. We can be like the lady and the tramp. But don't forget, you need me and I'm calling the shots."
  
  
• Marcela is pleased/anxious as Renato points out her nice new office. She's so conflicted: the kids shouldn't have to take care of her poor blind husband, and she wants time to research ways to cure him. But her friends say, "Don't treat him like a child." She cries - she's so sorry for him.
  
  Fer, gleefully, is just eating his peeled grapes and counting the (15) days till he gets his big payout for going blind on the job. When Marcela gets home and has to admit she couldn't force herself to quit, he yells and yells like a baby.
  
  
• There's another stupid rehash scene just so everybody can eat from individual bags of snack chips (all with the brand name facing the camera). Santi, standing at the snack machine with 1,000s of bags of the same kind of chips, hears gossip about Lucia marrying Sebastian. He looks sad as he eats his chips.
  
  
• Mimi meets Juan in a restaurant and tells him about Real Eva's new business. He says they should denounce Real Eva to the police even if it puts him at risk: "better me than you," he kindly tells her.
