Caray, Caray!

* Lo refrito: lots of jackassery, jealousy and a big SLAP!

* Lo nuevo: when Vicky tries to talk some sense into Nikki for the hundredth time. Roy is going to be the father of her children and her companion for the rest of her life, so she should be completely sure about her feelings before marrying him. But Nikki is convinced that Rollero is the perfect mate for her, and he loves her despite of her bulimia! Don Aníbal overhears their conversation, and when he realizes that Neta wants to get married, he’s over the moon. My princess, you have all my support! Vicky is like “have you all gone mad?”


* There’s a little bit of progression in the bodyguards’ quarters: Cris and Angel are sitting by a table and she’s explaining him what happened in Cozumel. José Ángel, use your brain, says Cristina, because this is how it feels being accused while you’re innocent. It was just a misunderstanding, like when I accused you and Ms. Victoria! Now the big guy is ridden by guilt because one, he knows Cris has always been faithful to him, and two, he also knows that he’s on the verge of throwing himself at Vicky. He apologizes, and Cris accepts it, but she says she’s very sad because lately they have changed so much and they cannot trust each other anymore. But a suspicious heart never rests. The Arriagas hug each other, and the crying Angel keeps begging for forgiveness.


* BotoxDoris visits the Balvaneras, she says she came as soon as she heard about the great news. Everyone is very happy about the engagement, except for Vicky, but she’s pressured by the Aníbal-Nelson-Nikki team.

* On the tennis ground Robroy tells his best friend that he’s going to get married with the Balvanera’s fortune, I mean, Nikki. Yes, he’s only interested in her money, but Neta Equis isn’t a saint either, last night he saw her kissing her bodyguard! For now he just pretends that he’s not bothered by it, but after the wedding he’ll fire Guzmán.

* In the working room Doris asks Vicky why is she against this marriage. Did she forget that she used to wish that their children would fall in love with each other? Vicky decides to tell her friend about Neta’s illness, and admits that she’s desperate because she doesn’t know how to help her kid.

* Cris doesn’t let Arriaga tear the incriminating picture into hundred pieces… No, first she’ll demand an explanation from the Barbie doll, because clearly this was her doing. Kendra will have to tell her everything, even if Cris has to drag her by the hair! *Viewerville: because she’s Cristina Corona de Arriaga, hear her roar!* Angel reminds her of the tiny little fact that he warned her about Kendra many times before. But at least now she knows how she is. Crissie gets emotional again and says she’s glad that they overcome this obstacle because her heart would break if someone tore them apart. José Ángel is eaten up by his guilt again and he swears that he’ll never ever will fail her. Never. Cristina wants to say hi to Aníbal. Arriaga notes that she seems to like the Don very much, and Cris agrees: yes, there’s something about him that makes her feel like she’s known him her whole life.


* Paula visits Tatito (Grandpa) Aníbal, and it turns out it was him who wanted her to come. While Tomasina is in the room, too, he asks Paula to play the piano at Nikki’s wedding, but as soon as Tomi is out of sight, he starts inquiring about his third daughter. Paula agrees to tell him everything, as long as he tells her what he did with Adriana’s baby. Aníbal admits that giving away that child was a big mistake, but he’ll never talk about it with anyone. Anyway, he can’t have another spawn because he always took precautions when he cheated on his wife. Really, asks Pau. And what about Candelaria? Oh come on, says Tatito, if that was true, Candelaria would’ve told him about the child. He knows Paula is lying to him, he just doesn’t know why. Knock-knock, the aforementioned offspring enters the room.

* In the kitchen Polita asks her beloved hunkalicious bodyguard why is he making such a sour face. Because Nikki’s getting married, says Guzmán. Lili doesn’t get it: Nikki didn’t have a boyfriend last week, but now she wants to get married? Polita starts laughing and says that Roy doesn’t know what he’s getting into because Nikki is so hateful that even her own mom can’t stand her. Little Orchind and Polita laugh, Frankie’s face becomes sadder, and the situation gets worse when Nikki enters the room with a wide smile and cheerful “hello, hello”. She tells the peasants that she’s getting married in a month and of course they are all invited. They can even have a nice new uniform! But come on, Guzmán, why don’t you congratulate me? Oh, too bad you are my employee because if you weren’t, I would’ve asked you to be my witness. Frankie makes his trademark jaw-clenching move and leaves the room.


* Aníbal is happy to see Cristina again, and he appreciates that she wanted to visit him in the hospital. When Paula sees what a strong bond those two have, she thinks about that she can’t tell the truth Aníbal until he tells him what she wants. After she leaves, father and daughter have a lovely conversation: Aníbal says that Crissie always makes him smile, and Cris admits that she likes him very much. Please don’t get her wrong, but since she never had a father, Aníbal is like a father figure for her.


* While Polita, Lili and Jean Marie are gossiping about Neta’s wedding, in the bodyguards’ quarter Nikki is still trying to get a reaction out of Guzmán. Oh, Guzmi, maybe it is just her, but it looks like he isn’t happy about her upcoming marriage. On the contrary, says Francisco, he’s glad that he won’t have to deal with a brat like her anymore. Nikki says she’ll buy her a pretty tuxedo for the big day, it’ll be a gift, and he can choose the color. And what about you, asks Guzmi. What would you like as a present? Oh yes, he already knows what he’s going to give to her… and he kisses her. Telenovela face attack!


* Aníbal asks Cristina to have a talk with Paula and convince her not to keep showing up at the house. Cris doesn’t like it but she agrees to do it because she doesn’t want to get him upset. Then they talk about Liliana’s upcoming birthday, and Tatito suddenly realizes that Lucía and Liliana were born on the same day.

* After the kiss Frankie and Neta continue their dance (aka flirting and insulting each other): she notes that Guzmi likes to kiss her every time he wants, and the bodyguard notes that she always responds to her kisses. You know what, gorilla? Go to hell!

* At Meta Imagen Vicky and Nelson are arguing about Nikki’s marriage and her bulimia. FF--> In the meantime Beatriz tells Salsero that she and Guillo are going to live in Paula’s apartment. Dances with Sunglasses wants to win over his future mother-in-law, who obviously can’t stand him. Don’t worry, says Betty, Paula respects her decision, and she, Beatriz believes in Salsero. We are going to get married.

* Kendho shows up at the Balvaneras where she tells her baby girl that one day this could be her house. *Viewerville: you're a little bit creepy, darling. And how do you know that you're going to have a daughter? Are you a Bene Gesserit?* Or maybe she’ll ask daddy Nelson to build them a prettier house. Cristina enters the hall and she’s ready to rip Kendra into shreds for sending that photo to the Angel and risking their marriage, but the blow-up doll knows very well how to pull Crissie’s strings. She gets excited like a young girl and tells “Cristine” that oh God, oh God, her plan worked! She just wanted to help her, to make Arriaga appreciate her more. Cristina and Viewerville are impactados, this definitely took the wind out of Crissie’s sails. She says she appreciates the good intentions, but Kendra got her into much trouble, so she wants to quit her job!

* Another lame product placement scene at Meta Imagen.

* Kendra begs to Cristina not to quit, and she promises that she’ll make up for what she did. And after all, now that she’s pregnant, she needs her friend Crissie. Please, please, please, don’t quit! Cris agrees to stay with one condition: Kendho has to tell the truth to her husband. All right, says Kendra, but when Cris turns her back on her, she starts to spit insults at her: you wretched trailer trash from the countryside!


* Adriana and Frankie meet in a park where they talk about his family. He says he has a sister, an adorable nephew, and a gambler dad. And no, he doesn’t have a mother, she died many years ago. Adri asks him to trust her, because after all, she told him about her secrets. Ms. Victoria spilled the beans about the piano teacher, didn’t she, asks Guzmán. Anyway, please, don’t talk about Paula. All right, says Adriana. And what about girls? Does he have a girlfriend? He’s such a great, virtuous man, and she’s sure he’ll find a great woman soon. He doesn’t want to talk about the woman he loves either. Instead of that he tells Adriana the story of his trainwreck marriage: he was madly in love, but one night he found his wife in bed with his best friend. Ouch. Since just couldn’t get over with it and since then he hasn’t had a new relationship.


* While Ms. Vicky and Arriaga are sitting in her office at Meta Imagen, they are they are thinking about the same thing: how to tell their loved ones that they love each other? She’s trying to work, he’s trying to read a newspaper, and they don’t even dare to look into each others’ eyes. Instead they imagine the big announcement: “My dear family, life is full of surprises, but you have to know that I fell in love with someone else. Suck it up, guys.” It’s a pretty hilarious and surreal scene, especially the reactions, but they both realize that they can’t do this, and all of a sudden Victoria and Arriaga start talking simultaneously. We need to talk! You go first. No, you go first. No, you! Okay. I’ve been thinking a lot. So did I. Vicky says that although it hurts her much, they should go on separate ways. The Angel nods, and for the last (?) time they hug each other.


* In the park Frankie asks Adri about her private life. What about the father of her child? Vincente? No, she hasn’t seen him for 18 years, and now she’s scared to meet him. Vincente must have a family now and she doesn’t want to mess with his life. Anyway, her daughter is going to be 18 years old tomorrow, and she’s sure one day she can hug her and kiss her. How strange, says Guzmi, tomorrow is Liliana’s birthday, too. *Viewerville: eyeroll – how many times are they going to repeat this fact?*

* Little Orchid is at the Balvaneras’ garden where she tells her favourite plant, that it’d be so nice if Francisco asked her out on a date on her birthday.

* Arriaga admits that every time it’s getting more difficult to hold himself back, and asks Victoria if she wants him to leave. I mean, forever. No, says Ms. Vicky. She has a better idea: she and Neta could change bodyguards. She loves Nikki the most and she’s sure she would be in the best hands. Arriaga agrees, and after all, Nikki is part of Victoria. He says he wouldn’t regret loving Vic but this relationship would hurt their families deeply, and they just can’t allow that to happen. He says goodbye to his boss and leaves the room with a last longing look on his face. Victoria starts to cry and Viewerville starts to wonder: okay, guys, it was very dramatic and touching, but seriously, how long will this last? A month? A week? An hour?
