Caray, Caray!


Graciela tells the police that she accompanied her son, DamDim, to take care of a debt he had with the dearly departed. DamDim confirms they were there for about 20 mins. Lauro observes all with his normally confused face or is it bored look? I can't tell. Anyway the police ask if they remember anything else to let them know.

Next they pay a visit to our resident stud, Alejandro. He tells them about the dearly departed’s bad dealings. Victor is glad that Ale didn't comment about Bruno stealing from him. The police could have interpreted it wrong. Ale saw no reason to mention it.

Gaspar asks Juventino where he's been. He lies and says he was looking into some prices on vitamins for the animals. Instead of scolding me, you should be trying to hook up Maria and Alejandro together. We could then be the owners of all this. Gaspar tells him that he is tired of hearing the same crap. And stop putting ideas into his daughters head. He has other ambitions.

Lauro is upset that DamDim owed Bruno money and wasn't even informed about it. Graciela was going to tell him but wanted to take care of it first. DamDim jokes that if he knew Bruno was going to end up dead, he wouldn't have bothered paying him. Lauro tells him to shut up. Now that DamDim will be returning to the marina, he will be getting some well earned discipline. Whether he wants it or not. He decides to go to bed. He asks if Graciela is coming. In just a moment. I want to talk to Montse first. Mommy dearest asks Montse who is Jose Luis?





Refugio and JL are taking a moonlight stroll on the beach. JL wishes he had arrived sooner so that he could have prevented Bruno's death. Refugio tells JL he's an idiot. He could have ended up dead as a door knob. That's true replies JL. But that guy was going to lend me money. JL doesn't know what to do. Refugio advises him to leave right away. If he is afraid of Montse's family's reaction, then he needs to leave town quick. (Duh. Why do you think he wanted to borrow money from Bruno? And why he wants to leave town in the first place?) JL says he can't leave without money in his pocket. Refugio says you can find money once you leave this place, but take her now. You might not be able to later.

Mommy dearest again asks Montse who JL is. My boyfriend replies Montse. Now I know why you broke it off with Sebastian replies Graciela. So you can get with that mequetrefe (loser, good-for-nothing). Montse defends JL. He is a good man, a mariner just like my dad and the man that I love. Graciela tells Montse not to compare that man to her father. Her father is a retired admiral with all the honors. While yours is only with you to take all that he can from you. You are so naïve. Montse says she will not argue with her. Her dad will allow her to marry him once he finds out how much she loves JL because he is the love of her life. Graciela starts yelling at her and says she is making a speculate of herself in town. Lauro comes out of his room and wonders what is going on. Graciela tells him nothing and she will meet him in the room in just a minute. She tells Montse that she forbids her from seeing JL again. Tomorrow they will resume their talk.

Nadia meets her husband, Pedro, in their bedroom in her lingerie. He asks her what's she doing? Um, let's see. Bedroom, sexy lingerie. She's going to paint? Fry some bacon? I know! Clean the tub!) Anyway he's very tired and had a hard day. He just wants to take a bath, eat and go to bed. Nadia asks why he behaves this way with her? She loves him so much. Ever since they got married, nothing has happened between them. On their honeymoon, he just gave her the runaround. (I don't think the lingerie is working, honey). She wants to be with him. He is her husband. If you don't touch me, then how are we suppose to have a child? I want to get pregnant! He tells her to get that idea out of her head. He says he's sleeping in the guest room. She cries.

Lauro goes to visit his friend the current admiral (don't remember his name). Lauro asks for a favor. He wants his son to return to the academy. He needs discipline. He wants him to start from the bottom. He has allowed his mother to coddle him and he is a weakling. The admiral agrees.

Graciela asks DamDim to find JL and tell him to stay away from his sister or he will regret it. He wonders what she thinks about Alejandro's offer. She says they have no other option but to accept that bastards offer. (I'm happy to report this time she is wearing nice shoes or umm boots).

JL and Montse run into each others arms on the beach but not like Bo Derek and Dudley Moore in “10”. She's not wearing her hair in corn rolls and running in a one piece bathing suit about to give herself a black eye. He's not half drunk in an ugly gray sweater. Anyway, they kiss and she scolds him for not meeting her at their usual time. She tells him that her mother has forbidden her to see him. He's not surprised. He knew her family would not accept him. She says her father will. He just wants her to be happy. They just have to make sure that her mother doesn't get to her father first and fill his head with lies. Talk to him. I will replies JL. But they are going to be watching us all the time. Now we can't escape. Montse again begs him to talk to her father and ask for her hand. If I tell him how much I love you, he will tell you yes. Come to my house in 30 minutes.

Carlotta runs into the house and tells Lauro that a man was killed in his own home last night. I know replies Lauro. The police was here last night and told us. Carlotta can't believe she missed out on that bit of gossip! She was busy in the kitchen making orange cake. Lauro says they were here talking to DamDim. Why asks Carlotta. Because DamDim owed that dead man money. Carlotta thinks DamDim is going down a bad road. Lauro agrees. Carlotta says that the police suspect that a mariner might be responsible for the death. What is the guys name? Jose Luis Alvarez replies Carlotta.

Nadia and Montse meet up at the beach. Nadia wants to have coffee but Montse declines. She is meeting JL at her house. He is going to ask her dad for her hand. Nadia says that the town is talking about her and JL. He is in a lot of trouble. Last night a man was murdered. I was investigating and the police suspect JL. That's just stupid replies Montse. JL is unable to hurt anyone. I agree replies Nadia. If he was guilty, he would be trying to find a way to leave town instead of staying here and marrying you. Montse looks worried or confused.

Maria is smelling Alejandro's shirt. Tio Juventino catches her and asks if it smells good. Do you love him? He tells her she can confide in him. He will help her. She is his only niece and the daughter he never had. I want you happy. She tells him that she has always been in love with Alejandro. Now that he is the son of the owner, everything is complicated. Especially now that my father is against me. He wants me to forget about my friendship with Alejandro. Juventino tells her to forget about what her father told her. You have every right to go after what you want.

Alejandro is outside the Mendoza house ringing the doorbell and JL walks up not happy. Foiled again! When he finally has grown the balls again to talk to dear old daddy. Montse answers the door, not happy that studly Alejandro is on the other side. Alejandro greets her and says he came for two things. The first. They have an appointment with the notary at 9am. Great replies Montse. Now I know. You can leave now. Alejandro is not fazed by her rudeness and says I have another thing I came for. I have an appointment with your father. Lauro walks up and greets Alejandro. (He knows his manners. To bad it didn't rub off on his daughter. And to bad he's having money problems. Since he can't afford to properly cloth his daughter). Lauro tells Montse to bring coffee to his study for him and studly Alejandro.

Juventino runs into the kitchen telling Gaspar that his daughter was thrown from a horse.

Maria is fighting with a horse and is actually thrown. Hummm.......

Montse asks JL why didn't he ring the doorbell? JL says that guy arrived again that's why. Montse doesn't care and says she's going to tell her dad to see him. JL balls shrink and he tells Montse that they should just run away. Her father will not accept him. Montse says she thinks that he just wants to leave for another reason. I have no other reason replies JL. I just want to be with you. Let's go. He kisses her and the sh!t has hit the fan. Graciela sees this and tells Montse to get her caboose in the house immediately! JL tries to introduce himself but Graciela ignores him and walks past him with her head held high like the regal queen that she is. She turns around and yells again for Montse to get in the house. JL whispers for Montse to get in the house. (his voice can't get any higher. His balls are literally in his stomach). Graciela warns JL to stay away from her daughter. (I am in shock that JL kept eye contact with her. Her glare alone would have melted him or at least shriveled it up). Graciella pushes her daughter into the house. She tells her daughter that she is acting like a trollop. Do you not have any shame? Lauro and studly Alejandro walk out of the office. Carlotta walks in with the coffee. Graciella tells Montse to serve the coffee. Lauro makes a comment about Bruno. Alejandro says Bruno had been stealing money from his father for years then lending people money with it. He had many enemies. Carlotta says she understands that the police have a suspect. Yes, replies Lauro. A man named Jose Luis Alvarez. Montse, upon hearing this, drops a coffee cup. Alejandro asks if Montse is okay. She appears nervous. Graciela says her daughter is perfectly fine. Isn't that correct, Montse? Lauro says that that man was in this house, that's why Montse acted like that. Is that right asks Graciela? Yes, replies Lauro. He came twice to talk to me. Well, I ask that you don't allow him to come back again asks Graciela. I don't want criminals in my house. Montse sticks up for JL and says they can't treat him that way if the police have not accused him yet. Carlotta agrees. What if the guy is innocent? Montse wants to take a breath of fresh air. Alejandro says he will accompany her. Montse declines but Graciela overrides her.

Gaspar finds his daughter unconscious.

Studly Alejandro asks Montse if she feels better. Better thanks replies Montse rudely. He asks if she doesn't like him. She rudely replies that she likes to be alone. She finally remembers her manners and apologizes for her rudeness. She tells him to go in and she will follow in a minute. He looks like a wounded puppy and says whatever you like and goes in. (come to mama. I will take away the sadness :). JL has some balls left and decided not to listen to mommy dearest and stuck around to play with the flowers. Montse runs to him and asks what he's doing here? You can't be here. JL says you see why I want to run away? Montse asks him why does he want to run away? Answer me this? Do you have anything to do with the death of that man? Tell me the truth? I can't believe this replies JL. I can't believe that you would think I would be capable of something like that. I am not a murder nor a coward. You wouldn't be a coward if you had already talked to my father replies Montse. Or tried to obligate me to run away and abandon my family. I love you and adore you replies JL. But I can't do it this way.

Montse walks in and sits next to Alejandro. Lauro wants to know more about studly Alejandro. Does he have any family? None replies Alejandro. His mother died when he was born. Graciela hopes that Alejandro comes to visit more often. Graciela wants Alejandro to meet DamDim. Lauro says he's a good for nothing. Graciela doesn't want to air their dirty laundry in front of company. Blah, blah, blah.

JL is at the bar drinking. DamDim warns him to stay away from his sister. JL says he wants to marry Montse and the beer is actually giving him a set and he tells DamDim that no one will make him stay away from his sister. DamDim says do you know who I am? Who my family is? JL says he doesn't care (must be the beer talking). Money doesn't make you better then me. So swallow your words and leave me alone. DamDim reminds him that his dad is a mariner and if he finds out, things will not go well for him. Think about it.

Lauro says he had a good visit with Alejandro. Graciela wants studly Alejandro to come back for dinner. Anytime says studly Alejandro. How about tomorrow night? Studly Alejandro agrees. Carlotta thinks he is a nice guy and really handsome. Too bad you don't want him for your daughter. Graciela tells Montse that she could have been a bit nicer to the stud. Why asks Montse? Because he was a guest of your father replies Graciela. Montse reminds her mother that she's upset. Why asks Carlotta. Because I am in love and my mother will not accept him replies Montse. That's because that man is a delinquent replies Graciela. This time you will not get me to doubt him says Montse. JL is a good and decent man. And if you don't support me, then I have no choice but to run away with him!

Maria comes in limping into the kitchen on crutches. Turns out she was trying to go to Agua Azul on horse back.

Graciela is looking for Montse. Carlotta says she left first thing this morning. She thinks they should tell Lauro. Graciela wants to handle it herself.

Montse and studly Alejandro are at the notary. Montse has sold her property to the stud. He wants to take her home since she has a suitcase full of cash but she declines. She tells him not to tell her family about the transaction. He promises he won't.

Lauro and Graciela talk about finance. Montse and her prospects.

JL and Montse meet at the beach again. Montse can't believe that JL came to see her after the way she acted yesterday. JL says he came to ask her forgiveness after the way he acted. It hurt him to think that she would think he could kill a man. I only went to his house to borrow money so that we could escape. I just had the unfortunate luck to find him dead. But I had nothing to do with it. You have nothing to explain replies Montse. I was wrong to doubt you. To prove to you that I believe you, I brought you this. Take it. I just sold the property that my aunt left me. Why did you do that asks JL. I told you not to. Montse tells him that she can't have the money at her house and he will just have to accept it. She is ready to leave if her parents to not accept him. They kiss.

Graciela wants to know what happen last night. DamDim says JL will not leave his sister alone. Graciela says she wishes JL was involved in the murder. Anyway, I want you to go see Alejandro and tell him exactly what I say.

Maria prays to the virgin for studly Alejandro to return.

The stud returns and Victor wants to know if Montse was nicer today. No, still the same. He has decided that is she still acts the same at dinner tonight, he will thank Graciela and return to the hacienda.

Graciela tells Carlotta that they need to protect Montse from that mariner. Carlotta hoped that Montse would set her eyes on studly Alejandro. Graciela tells her that the stud likes Montse.

Mommy dearest tells Montse that she feels bad she is crying. Montse feels worse that she is not supporting her. Mommy dearest can't support her not knowing who that man is. He could be playing with her. Montse tries to reassure her that JL is a good and honest man. He had nothing to do with the death of that man. If you just gave yourself an opportunity to get to know him. Graciela says you belong to a good family and you can't get with a lowly mariner. If we were in a different situation, I could talk to your dad to have him promoted to a higher rank. But we are in a difficult situation. Only you can save us.

Manana: Graciela tells Montse the truth; DamDim and JL fight; JL and Montse undress
