Caray, Caray!

Marta congratulates Alma on her upcoming wedding in Acapulco and says she'd like to come along.  Alma gathers her things and the two beauties leave.  Susana hesitates to come along with Sebastian, Alma assures her the arrival with Sebastian is fine with her and further has been approved by Rogelio.  She brings out her suitcase which she had ready all along just in case.  Xochi hesitates to go for whatever whine she gives about obsessing about her paint by numbers Daddy.  Chatita and Jesús discuss how he is so sad about the wedding so he isn't going for sure.  Chatita calls him on the heartbreak so he calls her on her supposed "memory problems."

Jessica rubs it in about the Descua article to a mopping Fernando, she just KNEW Descua was a bad one, as she arranges her long lovely legs in a sympathetic leaning in.

Jesús tries to be philosophical about things proceeding according to plans, but cannot really smile about the impending loss of his lovely Alma.

At the airport, Rogelio takes a call and thanks the person on the other end for the effective article on Descua and promises to send the money as agreed upon.

Jessica uses her many assets to cheer up Fernando assuring him she will do anything to help him.  She seems to think she has achieved some victory but we see him leaving the room, still inconsolable.


Alma tells Paty that she has some doubts about the marriage and Paty immediately tells her she can still repent.  No, no, Alma could never do that.  Then Veronica shows up and is disappointed that Jesús is definitely NOT coming to the wedding or Acapulco.  Vero looks like she only came so she could put the squeeze on Jesús so this is a big set back for her.

Chatita hugs and consoles the heartbroken Jesús. Only Chatita knows how he really feels.

Rogelio is so pained that he will not be able to perform his SuperMan tricks for his beloved Alma on their honeymoon when all he wants is to make her happy, and be close and loving.  He loves her so. He has some surprise to really relax her and she thinks it must be a whiskey but he says no much better than that. They kiss trying to make it look enjoyable for both but we are not buying it, are we.

Xochi is pouting to Jesús that she can't find her sperm-donor Dad or the clinic and her mother is no help.  He tells her how a friend spotted a picture of Veronica and Valentina on the internet and that was how he found out about his daughter all the way in Chicago.  Said daughter Valentina is acting cute in the office.  She seems much happier spending more time with Papa Jesús. At this lead on finding her S-D Dad, Xochi looks hopeful and grateful just in time to disappoint Julio who has just shown up at the door to scoop her up after work and misinterprets what he sees in Xochi's excitement towards Jesús.  Well maybe not 100%, Xochi still does feel too close to Jesús.

TopCop Delia gets an update that the phone calling records of (Marco, forgot is character's name here), were all to Rogelio.  Are you sure it isn't Fernando says TopCop Delia? No absolutely with Rogelio says the assistant. Delia calls Jesús to say she wants to know more about Rogelio now but Jesús informs her she will have to wait two weeks since he has just taken off for Acapulco for his wedding and honeymoon.  Fernando calls his brother pouting about not being in a mood for a wedding but he is here.  Rogelio must be growing into his/ I mean continuing to have pains and is as fussy as like a teething baby. Even Paty is going to have problems solving this little problem.

Delia is going to contact the Acapulco police to apprehend Rogelio for questioning so it looks like the wedding guest list is growing by leaps and bounds.

Valentina wants to know why she and Papa Jesús are not going to the wedding of his great friend Alma.  She also questions his truthiness as only a child can.

Marta shows up provocatively at Elias door and barges in to his great surprise and protests.

Fernando is in the bar in Acapulco and tells Rogelio that the person questioning their activities is none other than Jesús Garcia.

Alma begins to seriously hallucinate and replay all the kisses, and tender moments with Jesús and nothing with Rogelio the real bridegroom.  Veronica interrupts Alma's daydreams and wants to know really, really why didn't Jesús come to the wedding? Especially since Valentina wants so much to come to Acapulco and attend the wedding.  She dismisses Elias non-appearance but waxes singsongy about how perfect it would be to have her real family (make that Jesús) all together so they can reclaim the great love they had for each other in the past.  Alma looks a bit green around the gills at this assertion of Vero's and the envy is not lost on the calculating Veronica.

Marta talks Elias into sitting with her in his house so she can explain all.  She cries and begs forgiveness since she isn't usually or ever THAT kind of woman.  Elias starts to feel sorry for her. She gets up from the table but I keep waiting for her to swoop around and fling herself on Elias again, I'm just saying. But we have a lot of scenes to flit among tonight so we may not see it for a few days.

Jesús helps Valentina with her homework and they talk about his real feelings in losing Alma. Val seems to be channeling Chatita here, the only other person who always tells the truth. She does want to go to Acapulco so maybe this wedding really is going to get bigger and bigger.

Finally Fernando gets out the story about the phone call from Delia wanting to know about looking in the second store room. Rogelio is about to wring his neck but his INJURY starts to turn him into a shrieking mess again.  Fernando is actually trying to be brotherly and close, much to doggie dearest's disgust.  Rogelio curses his idiot brother and idiot brothers everywhere while the dog sits at the restaurant table and drools knowingly.

Elias calls Jesús and wants to talk to Valentina.  Jesús starts to make and excuse that Val is still awake because tomorrow is Saturday, but Elias says he doesn't have to excuse anything to him.

Elias and Valentina have a sweet conversation where she does all the assuring and ends with Elias saying he is so glad for her that she is having a happy time being with her Papa Jesús. Valentina can go straight into the diplomatic corps when she finishes elementary school.

Paty shows up at the impromptu girly talk Veronica has started and surprises Veronica who is slowly grinding in her points on being ever so close to Jesús.  Paty and she flash a glimpse of what kind of cat fight these two would be so good at it and hey, we aren't at the wedding yet so there is time.  Paty manages to turn the concerns to herself as Alma, but she asks Alma is this really your prince charming.  Alma begins to count his charms on the edge of one finger (no really she names several, especially SINCERE) Paty looses it a little bit, do you really think he is sincere? she snorts. Didn't he have a little dalliance at some point?  Alma is all concerned, what do you know Pato?? Absolutely nothing she says and staggers off exaggeratedly toward the lobby leaving a perplexed Alma alone in the dark (in so many ways).

Xochi shares her pain in looking for her nonexistent father to Maricela and tells her how lucky she is to have a millionaire father who does everything for her.  Oh yes, says Maricela it is soooooo lucky.

Ricardo stretches and hugs his bear, he has finally had a great night's sleep. The guards have left him to sleep well.

A fancy white box and a black clothing bag show up at Avon to be turned over by the delivery man to the idiot guards as an urgent special delivery.  Xochi wants to stash it in Alma's office for two weeks in her typical ostrich near a sand pile manner, but Maricela can't resist opening, feeling and discovering the lovely, silky wedding dress and they realize they are holding the success of the wedding in their hands.

Meanwhile, over in Acapulco Alma is making frantic calls about her dress not arriving yet.  Paty thinks this is a tragedy that may yet derail the wedding. Hope springs eternal.

Xochi fishes her cell phone out if a pocket and prepares to call, let's see, oh yes, wait for it, Jesús, typical of an hysteric she starts to ask him some complex question about when he is coming in rather than getting to the punch line.

Someone comes up to Fernando telling him he must talk to Rogelio about something very serious.

Sebastian and Susana walk along the beach talking about their former life and marriages. They look more relaxed and festive than anyone else.

Jesús and Valentina show up at the office and are joined in the discussion with personnel director, Cardenas who points out that the clothes have to be taken to Acapulco post haste and he knows that Jesús has two tickets to get there.  Jesús says under no circumstances will he use those tickets or go to Acapulco.  Sure, sure….

Coming to a beach near you: The wedding is set up, the bride has apparently found the lovely dress that only makes her want to confess that she really, really loves Jesús, but wait, Rogelio is interrupted with threats of storage room problems but manages to interrupt in turn the coming declaration from Alma when he screams, am I having a bad dream?  Oh you have no idea ole injured one… No idea!
