Caray, Caray!

With heartfelt thanks to our military men and women who give so much to their country, I hope we all observed and honored this Veterans Day (named Veterans Day in 1954) was established in 1919 and re-dedicated in 1938 as Armistice Day, November 11, celebrated and dedicated to the cause of world PEACE. Anyway, happy holiday to our heroes!!

But enough for now we need to see Yuri approaching the doomed Rogelio at the prison that has become so like a fraternity meet up until Yuri steps into the cafeteria to scare the recovering wheel chair bound curly top.  Both looked like there are great barbers in the prison.

Jesus is rushing to set up interference in the prison but Yuri's flunkies roll Rogelio to his date with Picadillo.  Yuri waves a plastic spoon letter opener or juarever while he threatens but the wheel chair is left empty while Rogelio stabs Yuri with his weapon, suddenly when Jesus can get no action from the police because they haven't heard any death screams, the death screams come from a bloodied Yuri.  Rather than being astounded in fear, the adoring Yuri crowd celebrates the fall of the giant and Jack rides off in triumph for the moment.

Chatita's diagnosis of sore throat is confirmed by the real doctor who assures her and Alma that baby Luisa is perfectly well.


Jesus and the detective hear the guard relate the Yuri/Rogelio round that ended with Rogelio rising up in self defense to drop the giant.  Couldn't be helped now could it? Yuri was the first to attack and if Yuri really dies, well party time in the old cell tonight, okay?  Apparently the giant was never gentle and menaced so many. On the yard, the prisoners inform Rogelio that he is now BIG boss.  The gracious Rogelio adapting to his new ruling class status, gives a lesson in Roman history of gladiators and pardons the bespectacled little Yuri-slave with a thumbs up.  His magnanimity is met with knee bent groveling all around.

Jesus flies to Avon to tell Patricia that Rogelio is out of danger for the time being.  Patricia assumes it is all because of Jesus and kisses him fervently until Alma shows up wondering if Pati is up to her old tricks with the new husband.  No she goes back to her operator/receptionist post and looks very busy while Alma doesn't hold a grudge and talks baby talk to the baby Luisa.

UP on the floor poor Xochi is dreaming of how much like OctaMom with her huge pink maternity dress bumping around the office in a path of destruction.  She is shaken from her daymare by Fernando.  She pats her slim body and looks worried.

At the dinner table later, Chatita makes the table groan with the weight of so many delicious dishes.  Babies, 3 grandparents, Pati, Alma and Valentina celebrate that things are better for Rogelio and they are all lucky until the doorbell rings and who is it but that little treat Kiko singing and dancing badly to delight Valentina if not anyone else.

Rogelio hears that Yuri has survived at first with fear but now declares a new reign and era at the prison.  No body thinks Yuri can regain his former power spot.  Party on.

I am nodding out a bit here but wake with a jolt to hear Rogelio tell Fernando that their Papa is alive! Eeeekkk!

Alma and Jesus go to see the priest to discuss their pending wedding.  The good news from the priest that it will be a mere year and a half before the cathedral de Monterrey will be available for them. 22 de Noviembre de 2014.  Eeekk!  Alma wants the cathedral venue so badly that she agrees.  They do remind the padre that their children are growing up as we speak. I am not remembering if they have had a civil ceremony but wouldn't that be more legal for the custody issues??

Fernando and Rogelio continue discussing Papa who ignored them, Fernando was particularly hateful to him chastises the holy little brother Rogelio. Is this why the brothers did all those naughty things and they can blame dear old dad?? But where is he asks Fernando in a flash moment of reasonableness. Okay so who else is coming back from the dead?

The energetic Avon workers are planning Jesus' party when a dejected Fernando returns and asks to speak to Xochi alone in his office.  The crew worry that something bad is happening to Rogelio but Patricia assures them it isn't that.  Fernando whines the news of the Papa who he had been told he would never see again and thought dead is anything but.

In parallel in the jail yard, Rogelio whines to Rainbowhair about the sudden discovery of a live Papa.

Much secret telling and giggling with rushing about the desks with clicking of impossibly high heels below impossibly short skirts, doing nothing ensues as Jesus almost interrupts the party plans once again.  Alma uses kisses to get his mind off the fact that no one does a blasted bit of work in this office outside of party planning and high jinx.

Now the party decorations are in place and the big cake celebrating the 2nd anniversary of Jeuss' employment.  Julio leads the men in dance line and the ladies line up with pompoms a shaking.  Jesus can't believe it has already been 2 years and he doesn't' really feel he deserves it.  They joke about his start as a beleaguered secretary.  Some ingenious person filmed his every minute of the last two years including the welcome kit for a secretary.  then the pixie booted musketeers present gifts.  They then flash the time when Jesus first appeared  in his ruffled raspberry shirt and tight pants uniform.  Testimonies and laughter follow while I count out the time of my penultimate Monday night on PEAM adventures.

Jesus recalls he never dreamed his life would change so much when all he started out to do was come from Chicago to find his Princess daughter.  Well and I made it to home base without an appearance from the satanic beauty, Veronica but look out… here she comes stabbing her way into your hearts tomorrow night for sure.
