Caray, Caray!

AS notices that MA is constantly looking at his watch. She asks what's up with that. I don't think this is ever explained.

JT's concert comes to a premature end with an impromptu kickboxing match. Actually, it's more of a mismatch, since Tato grossly underestimates his opponent. Ouch! Chuy warns Tato, a bit too late, that JT knows what he's doing and he'll bust Tato's tangerine. But Chuy also tells JT, "Get out of the ring or I'll throw you out."

Upstairs, Leo, MA, and AS hear the ruckus and worry about Frida. Leo volunteers to check up on her - and admits that he'll also be looking for something to eat.

Outside, Tato tells Frida she's coming with him; she says no. He begs her for another chance; she says no. He vows to get her back.

Lupe lectures JT about fighting. The gist of the lecture is "don't fight."

The actual wrestling commences. (The referee's name is, I believe, Bombón Asesino, but he doesn't look much like Ninel Conde.) Luchadors are flying around all over the place. Diego looks happy. Chuy complains about Perla's outfit again.

AS is tired of the "penthouse" and goes back down to her, er I mean Chuy's, bedroom which I think is also being used as a dressing room for the wrestlers?

Leo finds Frida and tries to get her out of there. She refuses and takes off. She finds JT sulking in another room. (His room? Where are we? I'm totally disoriented.) He's upset that his concert ended early. Frida tells him she likes his name, and she thanks him for defending her against her ex. She assures JT that Tato is definitely her EX. She had thought he was an activist like her, but he was really just a poseur. She also says something about looks not being important, and caring more about what's on the inside; and JT says something about her hair and her eyes, and next thing you know, they're making out like telenovela characters.

But then Frida pulls away, saying they can't do this because neither family would tolerate it. JT halfheartedly agrees, but thinks to himself that this wasn't too bad of a consolation for losing the concert.

Vilma looks at the Coliseum from the safety of a car. She tells Beto, her driver, that this place isn't worth three pesos. But she's going to have to get out of the car, and he's going to have to guard her, because she's such a helpless woman.

Fortunately, Mati sees Vilma before Vilma sees her, and flees.

Beto is shorter than Vilma, but he tries his best to be impressive. His best isn't very good. Vilma tries to bully her way past Emiliano without paying, but the big guys support Emiliano, and Beto is persuaded to tell Vilma to buy two tickets.

Perla corners Diego and invites him to agree that she looks good in her sexy outfit that Chuy finds so objectionable. Diego just says, "You know how fathers are." Carmelita tells Perla to go to her room and change.

MA looks for Leo and Frida, but is intercepted by Lupe, who tells him that Tato has left, so it should be safe to mingle now. She also gloats that he was wrong about the wrestling show - it's a big success!

Next thing MA knows, Guendy is mesmerizing him with confusing folksy language. He doesn't understand half of what she's saying, but it seems she wants them to have some drinks, get to know one another better, and then she'll "reveal everything." (Ack! Run away! Run away!!)

Vilma stalks around the place, asking if anyone knows where she can find the owners. She doesn't understand the spectators any better than MA understands Guendy, but she keeps trying. She even asks a luchador who's lying on the mat. ("Can't you see I'm in the middle of a fight, lady??") Carmelita thinks Vilma wants to rent the place for an event, but says Vilma will have to take it up with the owners, because she's really busy right now.

Because it's very crowded in there, MA doesn't see Vilma, and Vilma doesn't see MA. Guendy does most of the talking:
"Are you a Pisces? I bet you're a Pisces. No? Then you're a Scorpio."
"I'm a Virgo, actually..."
"Aw, no you're not!"

JT's friend is angry that JT had to ruin the concert defending his "cousin." JT is too distracted to pay attention to his groupies. They are offended. He mutters something about looks not being important, and caring more about what's on the inside; hmm, that sounds familiar. ;-)

Nepo wants to go dancing with Lupe later. Lupe doesn't look enthused. Sharky congratulates Lupe on the event's success; he'll expect payment soon.

MA finally gets away from Guendy. Mati warns him that Vilma is here. He sends Mati up to the penthouse, and phones Frida to tell her and Leo to get out of there too. (Leo is always saying that he doesn't want any of the tacos, but he keeps eating them...) Frida and Leo take off. Diego watches one or both of them leave...

Vilma doesn't want to leave here until she gets some answers. Beto wants tacos. Vilma won't let him have any. They begin to search the house.

I think Mati made it to the roof-shack, but AS is still in the bedroom and MA is trying to get them to the roof before Vilma gets there. She starts knocking, and threatens to bust the door down if they don't open up. (Where the hell does she think she is??) They try to be very quiet and it seems that Vilma is about to give up, until MA's phone rings.

And now for something completely different: Mini and Mom discuss Mini's failure to secure a post-nuptial agreement from Ahole. They are both desperate to get some security from Ahole as soon as possible. They think whatever's in the safe will be exactly what they need, but they don't have the combination. Mini says she'll think of something.

Fortunately for MA, that bedroom is full of luchador masks and costumes. He puts one on and uses it to get past Vilma. He doesn't give her any useful information, but she comments that he's been nicer to her than anyone else she's encountered thus far.

Unfortunately for MA, the costume he chose was Bluetooth's. And Bluetooth himself doesn't seem to be around (I didn't hear why). And this is REALLY a problem for MA, because Chuy is calling Bluetooth to the ring right now. Where is he? Chuy tries to stall for time. "It all began one cool summer night..." The crowd boos impatiently as Chilaquiles looks for the runaway wrestler.

Beto begs Vilma to stay for the fight. He's never seen a lucha before.

(Half a universe away, Ahole slobbers over Mini's belly. She protests that her dinner is getting cold. And she's getting nauseated. Ahole is offended. Mom tells him to be patient with her. He wants to announce the pregnancy right away. Mom warns him to wait a little bit. It's too soon. Ahole says it's not too soon for him! He's gonna be president!! (He doesn't even know yet if it's a boy!)

Back to Mexican Italy. Fake-Bluetooth (soon to be "Redtooth") is thrust, protesting, into the ring. He tries to run away. "I'm not me," he whispers to Chuy in a panicked voice. Misunderstanding, Chuy replies, "You're disgracing the profession!"

Now the Metallic Fly and Son-of-a-Perro are pummeling him with folding chairs. So now he's literally had trouble with chairs from head to toe. Bluetooth's partner, Wifi, is also getting chaired pretty badly.

The crowd goes wild. MA prays for mercy. Either the fly-man or the dog-son is biting his head.

And then it gets violent!

Next time: If Lupe fails to rescue Bluetooth and Wifi, will everyone have to go back to using Ethernet cables? And will MA finally seek help for his seating disorder? Find out tomorrow!
