Caray, Caray!

I have good news and bad news: The good news is that I was able to watch this episode as broadcast tonight. We spent the afternoon changing our antenna which solved the problem with Uni, but gave us problems with other channels. The bad news is that I watched this episode as broadcast tonight. It was apparent that this was another sliced and diced episode and I won't be able to include what Uni cut out. Let's get to it!

Isabel asks Gabi how she's been feeling. Gabi says she's been having a bit of nausea but otherwise she's fine. They continue talking about pregnancy until Aranza comes in and asks, "What's this whore doing here?" Now if I had ever dared to call one of my parent's friends a whore my mother would have knocked me Through. A. Wall. I have never liked this girl and now I don't care what happens to her. Aranza deserves whatever she gets. What a nasty little snake.


Arturo and Bruno enter as Aranza continues to spew her venom at both Gabi and Isabel. Gabi tried to seduce her boyfriend! Hearing this, Bruno stupidly asks if Gabi is attracted to Javier. Aranza continues her rant. Isabel and Gabi are liars! Javier is the innocent victim of their evil plot. Javier isn't a womanizer, he's a one-woman man! Aranza's the woman he loves and nothing and no one will ever come between them! Of course Aranza can't resist blabbing about Gabi's pregnancy. Meanwhile, our good little vulture Dafne has perched herself on the staircase landing to listen to the whole brouhaha and laugh.

Gabi leaves the house and Bruno follows. She tries to explain that she and Isabel were trying to prove that Javier is a womanizer. They were only trying to help Aranza see the truth. Bruno says he would have helped them if they would have asked. Then he asks, "Why didn't you tell me you are pregnant?" Gabi says her baby's father is a criminal. Why would she want to brag about it?

Arturo talks to Aranza who is still furious. She claims it was Gabi who was after Javier but he rejected her. Isabel and Gabi planned this whole thing to break up her relationship with Javier. They are liars and hypocrites and she won't forgive them. Aranza snaps at Arturo, "Tell your wife not to interfere in my relationship or my life. I forbid it."

In the kitchen, Isabel tells Lucha that she thought she was doing the right thing. Lucha sympathizes, "You had good intentions." Lucha believes that this whole episode is just another one of Ara's tantrums. It won't last, she'll forgive you.

Gabi says that Nick will never know about the baby. Bruno doesn't understand, "He has to help you!" Gabi knows it won't be easy being a single mom, but Nick is a burden she doesn't need. Bruno offers his help - he'll always be there for her. Gabi reminds him that he's a married man. Bruno says, "I know I'm your friend and nothing else. We had our chance for love, but we let it go. Now we can be the kind of friends we weren't before." They hug and both cry.

Arturo comes into the kitchen to talk to Isabel. He thinks she got caught up in Gabi's plan. He knows Isabel didn't mean any harm. Isabel insists, "Javier doesn't love her. Believe me." But Art takes Ara's side.

Upstairs, Dafne goes to talk to Aranza. Dafne says that Isabel was out of line, but... she adds, "You made a mistake coming home."

In the morning Isabel tries to talk to Aranza. "I was only trying to protect you. Javier's love isn't real." Aranza counters with, "You're not my mother. You never were. You never will be." Isabel cries.

Javier laughs at the way Isabel and Gabi's plan backfired, while his plan is working.

Andrea and Angel meet with a psychologist. He tells them how Dan and Borlas saved him from the kidnapper. Angel thinks they are superheroes.

Aranza is bitching to Ileana about Isabel. Ileana reminds Ara, "Isabel has always been there for you." Aranza says Isabel has disappointed her. Well just think how Isabel feels about you, you stupid twit.

Isabel visits with Fabricio to find out what he knows about Javier's computer history. Fab says Javier has saved some money, but doesn't have lots of money. Isabel nods, "So his offer to help us financially was phony." Fab agrees, Javier doesn't have enough money to make that kind of offer. Isabel tells Fab that Javier reminds her of her ex-husband. Fernando was someone who liked to live like a rich guy, but he was just a poor bastard who came from nothing. Javier even looks like him! Fab isn't so sure that Javier is a phony. "He's very brilliant and he does good work here."

Arturo tells Maricela about the blow-out between Isabel and Aranza.

Dan asks Ileana for a huge favor. "Can you help me make Mari think that I'm in love with you?" Ileana is bewildered. Dan explains that Mari is Sonia's daughter and he needs to break things off with her. Ileana wonders why Dan just doesn't tell Mari the truth. He says he can't tell her the truth because Sonia abandoned Mari as a baby, doesn't want her now and besides, Mari was the product of a rape. A completely gobsmacked Ileana needs time to think about all this.

At work, Esteban is arrested for robbery. Este says there's been a mistake. He didn't rob anyone! He signed a promissory note for one of the business's partners. The money was a loan. He was going to pay it back. At the police station Esteban is told that the evidence against him is solid. There is a videotape of him entering the vault and taking the money.




Javier's end will be not be pretty. But the sooner it comes, the better.



Methusela calls Javier and they laugh about Esteban's arrest.

Isabel goes to Javier's apartment and demands to know why he targeted Aranza. She knows Javier doesn't love Aranza. Is he dating her just to get her money? Javier laughs. There is only one thing that he would rather have than Aranza -- Isabel! He propositions her. She is (and those of us watching are) totally revolted. Javier grabs her and forces a kiss. Isabel slaps him. She swears she will get him out of Aranza's life.

Dafne pumps Gabi for information about what happened between her and Javier. Isabel arrives and she is still livid about her confrontation with Javier. After Dafne leaves she tells Gabi that Javier kissed her. Isabel doesn't know what to do to get rid of him. Gabi suggests offering him money. Isabel knows Javier is a phony, but Javier has been so convincing about his "love" for Aranza that Arturo doesn't know what to believe.

Fabricio tells Sonia about the trouble between Isabel and Aranza. Later, Sonia gets Fabricio to hire an investigator to find her "sweet old Nana", Cuca.

Javier tells Aranza that Isabel showed up at his apartment and demanded he end his relationship with Aranza. Javier is afraid Isabel might influence Arturo against him. "Promise me you'll defend our love. Promise me." She does.

Esteban calls Mauricio from jail. Mauricio can't believe Esteban would take money from his boss. Esteban says he was desperate and only did it to get ransom money for Angel. Mauricio and Andrea come to the police station and try to help Esteban explain the circumstances behind him taking the money.

Sonia meets with Aranza who still hates everyone but Javier. Aranza reminds Sonia about how she used to "love" Arturo. Sonia just wants to put that all in the past and get her family back. She has always been there for Aranza, and now that Sonia has married Fabricio they're even more "family" than they were before! Aranza says, "You and Isabel both betrayed me. You're both liars."

At work, Dafne tells Gabi and Tere about Esteban's arrest.

Mauricio, Andrea, Arturo and Edgar talk about how to get Esteban out of jail. If Esteban signed a promissory note there was no theft. They decide to go to Esteban's boss and talk to him to see if they can reach some sort of agreement.

Angel is at Meanie's house. He asks her what's going on with Esteban. Meanie says there's some kind of problem with college. She tells Angel he needs to know what is important in life. She learned too late that money isn't important. She lost more than money by gambling. She almost lost the most important things in life - her love for Angel, Esteban and Andrea.

Isabel and Dafne go to the jail to see Esteban. Dafne is allowed to go in because she is his girlfriend. She can't believe this is happening to him. Esteban can't believe all this bad stuff that's been happening to him - Angel's kidnapping, his arrest for robbery - it's almost like someone has it in for him. In the jail lobby, Isabel calls Aranza. She is met with more hostility, but does manage to tell Aranza about Esteban's arrest.

Methusela's secretary lets him know that Esteban's father, Arturo de la Riva and their lawyer are waiting to talk to him. Gonzo panics, "They know me!" Meth says he will go to the lobby to meet with them. After they're gone Gonzo needs to leave town and stay away, that way he can't be called to testify about any promissory note.

Sonia and Javier celebrate the rift between Isabel and Aranza. Javier has managed to do the one thing that Sonia couldn't do. Javier says he has just one more thing to remove from Aranza's life before he marries her.

Meth comes out to meet Mauricio, Arturo and Edgar. Edgar tells him that Esteban signed a promissory note with Meth's partner for the money. It was not a theft, it was a loan. Mauricio says they can pay the money back by the end of the month. Meth shrugs and says he's not dropping the charges because there is no promissory note!
