Caray, Caray!

Refrito: Lupe breaks Nepo’s heart… in the most subtle way she can think of… which is nice of her.


Lo Nuevo: not sure I liked that Lupe put the ‘Mati lost’ situation as excuse to send Nepo off for the nite.

Tato and Frida, she accepted his ride after all. She is honest to him that he is all ‘pose’ and no backbone. He forces a kiss on her, and gets a slap back. (good for you Frida!!) She leaves, he laughs it off.

Here is Maca!! Again at restaurant with AS and Leo spending money, Maca wants Escargot (fuchi!), AS mentions that it is the best in Mex, even Dionisio, the God of wine, would approve of the selection. LOL!

Isela and Mini… Isela is getting a massage, nagging at Mini, saying 'if it weren't for these moments, I would have given you up for adoption right off the bat', says that Mini stresses her out. Tato calls Mini’s cell. Tells her he knows the area where Frida lives but not the exact address (Mini gets mad, hangs up on him.) Mini asks Isela if she remembers of any property the RP had at San Angel. Isela says she remembers that is where the old house of Don Aure/Dona Mati’s was. Isela asks Mini what are you up to now? Mini says I know ‘mi cuento’(my story). Isela asks what will we tell A-hole now? Mini: you’ll come up with something.

Frida arrives at the old RP house to meet MA. She had found Mati. Mati keeps talking of how she loved to live that house, taking care of Aureliano and gardening there. So happy to see the house again. Have to organize up a party to celebrate! (celebrate what? Not sure) MA worried about Mati. Frida tells MA that the taxi driver won’t leave until he gets paid, they start to get in the taxi. But before MA can get in the cab, Mini arrives in her white SUV and blocks the way of the taxi. Mini goes beserk trying to talk to MA. Mati does not recognize her, wonders if Mini is a fan trying to get an autograph from one of them, but who is the celebrity? MA urges the taxi driver to get going. Mini is leaning on the hood and won’t let the taxi go. Taxi driver asks MA for the ‘formula’ to get women like that crazy for him. MA has to get out of the taxi to let Frida and Mati go back to La Nopa. Mini gets all over MA. She is drooling for her ‘chiquis’. He just wants her to tell him what she wants. Mini asks directly. Did you ever go to Italy or were you here in Mex all along? MA says we have nothing to talk about. You went off and quickly married my cousin A-hole. Mini says she is willing to do anything to prove to him she regrets what she did. MA says ‘if you ever loved me, you cannot tell ANYONE you saw me in Mexico'. Mini tells him she knows he is innocent of the fraud. She tells MA police is after Adolfo. She tells MA she might be able to find evidence to prove A-hole is the one behind the fraud. MA confused.

Nepo arrives home cursing himself. Gwendy comes in and notices his bad temper. She can guess Lupe did not even 'let him in the shower with her'. Nepo does not appreciate the comment. He is not happy for the results of the advice of ‘doctora corazon’ of La Nopalera. Gwendy finds a way to turn the criticism around on him, what were you thinking by bringing the subject in the truck? Gwendy says since Lupe was pregnant, she has not had intimacy with anyone. Nepo is so clueless, 'you mean its like Lupe is a virgin?'… Gwendy says she needs to ‘explain everything to him with manzanas’.(in best tradition of Nikki from AV) She says should be in a nice restaurant. Where do you plan to take her? Nepo says: my truck. He is thrifty thinking.

Lupe tells Carmelita all about the truck scene. She would rather be honest with him than lead him on. Carmelita says better that way, most teens go for it and then later on regret it. Better to wait until you are more mature. Carmelita keeps teasing Lupe about her heart looking MAs way. Lupe gets mad at her.

Back to hotel with Maca, Leo and AS. Maca brags about having visited the Chinese Wall, Leo follows suit with their experiences at Europe. AS follows suit about Holly land and the holy grave. AS seems to be fed up with Maca’s bragging. But she is only setting up the Proposal from Leo. Promises Maca the biblical paradise. MA in disbelief but she is the happiest condesa in realeza. Everyone applauds after AS has a loud toast to them. Maca keeps stating her parents are on a trans-syberian trip and not sure when they will be back. AS says we will go along with whatever preparations you and your family decide on.

Mini thanks MA for letting her talk to him. They are still in her car… Mini wants MA to be assured her only intention is to help him. MA not so convinced, repeats to her she sent him packing and married his cousin. He asks why do you want to help me? Cause I never stopped loving you. MA not buying it. (rinse, repeat) She wants him to give her his phone. Can’t risk that. Mini then gives him hers. She expects a goodbye kiss, he puts his hand up to touch her face and they shake hands. MA leaves (almost runs out of her car as if it were infested). Mini swears she will reconquer MA no matter what.

Back at Menchaca house, Mati is back and everyone is talking all at once. Lupe asks about MA. Frida says he had other things to do. Frida asks Lupe for some money to pay the cab.. Tizoc offers to pay but not without throwing in an insult. Chuy rants at him. Mati does not recognize Chuy. He not too happy about that. Frida pulls her out of reach before any harm comes to her.

Mini arrives home. Isela demands to know what Mini is planning. To reconquer MA. Isela asks what about when he finds out you are ‘sorta’ expecting a child of A-hole? Mini says maybe the whole issue of the fraud will be resolved well before the nine months get here and MA and I will live happily ever after. Isela still against that. Have to hang on to A-hole for our lifeline. Get MA out of your heart! Kaput!! (rinse, repeat)

Saul and MA at a restaurant. MA tired, confused, anxious… MA tells Saul that A-hole accused Adolfo G of the fraud. MA not sure what to do. Accepting Mini’s help is risky but we have no other leads. Saul says he could almost bet that A-hole has some evidence at his house. Saul asks MA about whether Mini moves him… Saul guesses right that the one that ‘moves’ MA is another.

AS wants to get on the subject of wedding preparations. Then A-hole comes in and AS freezes. A-hole is glad to see ‘tia’. Maca introduces herself. A-hole greets her the ‘royal’ way. A-hole congratulates Leo, always thought you had other ‘tastes’. Rather artistic than romantic, that is. Leo excuses himself and Maca before there is any more interaction between her and A-hole. Maca excited when Leo tells her they are going to the pyramids tomorrow, Maca excited to see where humans were sacrificed (yikes!).

Mati in bed, Lupe comes in with a tea. Frida tells Lupe Mati is still ‘out of it’. Mati tells Lupe she can recognize her. Lupe says I worked at the editorial for a while and you always greeted me in the morning. Mati says maybe you are a relative. Are you a RP or Rivadeneira? Frida asks Lupe if it is true she worked at the editorial?... Lupe says yes but then leaves quickly, tapping her head calling herself ‘bruta’.

Saul keeps questioning MA on what he will do. MA whining that everything without money is so much more difficult. They have to continue trying to find Adolfo Giron. MA needs a bath. Saul says things are complicated but you don’t need to walk around stinking like a trash can.

At the advice of Gwendy, Nepo is looking at a hotel room that is rather a cheesy motel love nest room. Hotel guy is confused and thinks it is for Gwendy and Nepo. Nepo tells him but the guy says ‘that’s what they all say’.

MA finally arrives at Fonda, Lupe is kind of miffed at him for taking so long to get home when he knew his grandma was found. MA tells her about the ‘guy’ they are accusing for the fraud. The guy used to be considered a friend of my grandparents but not it turns out he could be the one to blame. Lupe says the important thing is that your grandma was found. You look terrible. Are you going to work with Nepo again tomorrow? MA thanks her for being concerned for him, Lupe jumps up and denies she was worried about him. They share stares/smiles again.

Still at the ‘love nest’ room, Gwendy and Nepo are sitting on the bed and they briefly find each other a bit closer than they want. She is even laying back on the bed. He ends up joining her there.

A-hole and AS are now alone at the restaurant table. AS asks how could you be so vile to marry my son’s ex. A-hole says Mini was crazy about him and he liked her. AS says Mini is a leech, identical to her mother. A-hole won’t disrespect AS with a response. He asks AS why they returned from ‘bella Italia’? AS tries to fake, but A-hole knows better, they are all broke. AS says you got us broke, humiliated us and made us the laughing stock of society. A-hole keeps blaming MA. AS won’t argue with him. A-hole suggests she sit back down. He proposes to her to give her lots of moolah if she will tell him where MA is in Italy. What do you say? AS offended by the offer. A-hole laughs at her. Thought you were smarter. AS says smart enough not to take your ‘crumbs’. We RP’s own an inmense fortune. We are not dying of hunger. Most of the expenses are taken care of by the Condesa. The waiter comes with the bill. She says A-hole will take care of it. AS says we are ok under the support of the Condesa. A-hole ‘shoo’s ‘ the waiter away. Vilma comes in asking how it went. A-hole complains of the high check. Tells Vilma have to locate MA and force him to come back to Mex. Vilma reminds him Adolfo asked for a good sum of money. A-hole says we will instead throw the police at him. Asks her to pay the check with corp money.

Mati, Frida and MA are talking in Mati’s/Chuy’s room. MA blames himself for Mati’s adventure. He should have found her some medical treatment when he took her out of the ‘home’. Mati says have much more now than before with you all around. Frida asks MA what is going on. MA says nothing I can’t handle cause I am a RP. MA asks Frida to tell him tomorrow what is going on with the scholarship. Mati complains don’t talk as if I was not around.

Next morning at Fonda… MA and Lupe meet at kitchen. Lupe offers him coffee. He asks what she is cooking, it smells great. She says it is called Olla podrida (rotten pot) It sounds horrible but it is great, it has Pork rib, earlobe, pork feet, garlic, onion and some other spices… she gives him a taste.

Previews: A-hole notices Mini is happy lately. MA and Mini keep talking on phone. Adolfo on phone threats A-hole that he will regret what he has done to him. A-hole gets deer in headlights eyes scared.
