Caray, Caray!

I’m sitting at the patio of low expectations with the crowd to watch tonight’s episode. Everyone seems to be in a good mood. I will be giving bullet points as I am busy having a good time with all my Caray amigos.

We open with Mariana rushing to Doris’s bedroom after the maid tells her that Doris was  screaming that she wanted to kill herself, and the patio shouting ‘Do it’.

Simona sits in the beauty salon with Jackie giving the hairdresser instructions to make her beautiful. Simona has her doubts.

Miguel is kinda sorta happy about selling the ranch, but on the other hand feels guilty that he’s letting his father down because his father loved it so much. Octavio, not so much.


Doris is pretending to be praying to the porcelain god pretending to be ridding herself of the pills she pretended to take, while Mariana pretends to fret over her. Mariana tells the maid to get the gov. Doris should do a comedy next time because she’s hilarious.

Jackie arrives at Octavio’s with Simona. Octavio doesn’t recognize her at first, and we don’t either. She’s got a short bob, makeup, fashionable clothes, and NO MOLE!!! Where did it go? They don’t just disappear and makeup wouldn’t hide it like that. Did she see a dermatologist too? Does the hairdresser do dermatology on the side? Even her voice sounds different to me. Octavio is as surprised as me.

The Luv Guv is asking about Doris, why did she do it and did they call a doctor? Mariana says she threw the pills up so no need for a doctor. I think he meant mental doctor or at least he should have. She did it because she doesn’t want daddy to marry that casino woman and replace her mother. Eye roll by the gov.

Octavio continues to gush over Simona. And I mean really gush. Stop Octavio, it’s embarrassing.

Doris is pretending to be sleeping when the gov comes to see her. He asks her how she could do such a thing that could cause such a political and social scandal. She wakes up at that and tells him he only cares about himself. If he marries MA, she will kill MA or try suicide again and succeed. Stop cheering patio, she didn’t really try this time. Isn’t now the time to send her to a shrink, gov?

Now Miguel is gushing over the change in Simona, only not to the ridiculous point that Octavio was. She wants to help Miguel with his problems, but he says he wants to sell the ranch.

MA thought bubbles that the gov hasn’t called like he said we would. She can’t bear the thought that he won’t marry her and Doris will marry Octavio and then Doris will win and MA will lose. She just needs to flash those dimples at the gov and I’m sure he will renew Doris’s prescription.

Doris and Mariana are gloating over the success of the pretend suicide. Mariana asks when will Doris finish this game and Doris replies after MA is permanently gone, then he can marry Mariana. Mariana has decided that she doesn’t want to be the gov’s leftovers, and besides he’s not even that hot. The patio is in total agreement, or at least the women on the patio are. Doris wants to go out on the town with Mariana since she’s so happy now, and Mariana can come up with an excuse for why someone who just tried to kill herself is now going out to party.

Octavio calls MA to set up a time to see Lupita. She tells him he as to set it up with her lawyer. Octavio says that she will have to be more accommodating after he marries Doris, he will be living on the island permanently then. Right after hanging up, the luv gov calls and wants to meet for coffee at her house.

Miguel calls Lucia and informs her that he has a buyer for the ranch. She’s overjoyed by  the news. Miguel is happy too so that they will come out from under all their debts and live somewhere else.

The gov wants to start by saying that he doesn’t want her to think that his daughter has influence over him. After MA and the patio stop laughing and quiet down, he continues to insist that it’s true. He just wants to wait until MA is legally divorced before they get married. Ya think? MA proposes that they get married in secret. The gov acts surprised, but I thought they already discussed this in the past. No? That way Doris can’t stop it, but the gov wants Doris to get married first.

Doris and Octavio are having lunch together and Doris is still on her pretend suicide high, and the success she thinks it brought her. Doris wants to know if MA told him that she has called off the wedding to her daddy. Octavio just wants to butt out of her business, but Doris says that after the great suicide attempt, there is no way dad and MA will get married. Octavio doesn’t bat an eye over this and says that MA is as stubborn as her and they will continue their war. Tell me again what is so attractive about a man who doesn’t flinch at a shooting, a suicide attempt, a pretend suicide attempt, a murder, and the mistreatment of his wife by others?

The gov explains that they could speed up their marriage if MA dropped her lawsuit with Octavio for alimony since she doesn’t need the money especially after they marry. The gov is loaded. She agrees and flashes those dimples. She and Doris will be like sisters once they are married. Oh yes! They will get married when D and O are on their honeymoon.

Octavio informs Doris that he will be spending the evening with Simona.

MA calls her lawyer to tell him to drop the lawsuit. He argues against it. Think of all the money he’s going to lose. Now she just wants to be free of him. The lawyer calls Octavio to tell him the news. Octavio is in agreement but insists on retaining his right to see his daughter. He then calls Doris to tell her.

Octavio pays MA a visit at her office. The only way that he will let her be free to marry the Governor is if she gives up custody of Lupita to him. Ha! She says that they will live in the mansion as one big happy family and he can see his daughter as much as he wants. He can’t believe she’s seriously thinking that Doris would be OK with this. She says that maybe he should be worried about how Doris will treat his daughter and rethink marrying her. Good one MA! The patio is all in agreement that MA just won that battle. He asks her why she wants to marry the gov, she says the same reason you want to marry Doris, for position. No, he says, she’s young and pretty, your man is a shriveled up prune, or something like that. And he will learn to love Doris. The patio busts out in laughter. We all agree that he will only get more annoyed by her whining day after day.

Miguel sees his broker for the sale of the ranch. 2 days it should be final.

Doris is happily telling daddy that Octavio will now be free to marry her, and that once they are, she will set up the gov with a nice woman if he doesn’t want to marry Mariana.

Octavio insists that she’s doing this because she’s jealous and still in love with him, she denies it, they almost kiss. Then: Do you think that my grandfather burned to death so that his granddaughter could make peace with the enemy? Never.

Octavio is having dinner with Simona, she thought bubbles that she’s loved him since they were children.

MA is talking with the broker. Tomorrow they will transfer the deed. She wants to make a show of it where she presents herself at the last minute as the buyer. She will then give them a small parcel of land that was where the shack stood that Lucia burned down.

Now MA is talking to Raisa and telling her that she is happy with the work she and Tony do and that she will turn over the running of the casino to them while she is the Mrs. Governor of Isla Durado.

Simona continues to plead her case for why Octavio should marry her. Octavio of course is undecided.
