Caray, Caray!

• The Meatball (El Italiano) is wrestled to the ground by Esme and Pablo. Luckily no one is shot. El Italiano leaves in a huff. He yells at Rita because he still can't have his Gata (my mind is in the gutter right now.)
• Pablo goes off somewhere and Mariano takes the opportunity to tell Esme that Pablo actually has a girlfriend already and it's Monica. Of course this upsets me..er..Esme terribly and she begins to cry (while I curse the TV.) Mariano then decides to tell her he was just kidding. He needed to see how much she really cared about his bro. So not cool.
• Later Mariano tells Lorenza that Pablo and Esme are the real deal. Lorenza confronts Pablo. It's either La Gata or his family. Pablo will choose Esme of course. That evening, Lorenza monologues. If that girl wants war, war she'll get! We'll see who wins!
• Lorenza gives Monica tips on how to win Pablo.
• Pablo misses a play date with Esmeralda. Esme is filled with doubt. 
• Lorenza and Eugenia (Monica's mom) continue their plans for world domination. Or at least the domination of their offspring. 
• Influential people have taken an interest in you know who's pardon (El Silencio.) Mr. Lorenza is scared. The man El Silencio is accused of killing was Mr. Lorenza's friend and associate (man, those two are cold.) People in the government really want to give El Silenico the pardon. It's a done deal, no matter what Mr and Mrs Lorenza want. El Silencioso swears that when he gets out, his enemies will feel the weight of his vengeance. Thanks to El Silencioso's inheritance, he was able to pay the best lawyers. Lorenza wants Mr. Lorenza to use his influence. He thinks that would be suspicious. They can expect the worst.
• Pablo missed his play date because he was driving Monica to the dump (and NOT telling Monica he loves Esmeralda and NOT telling Monica she doesn't stand a chance with him.) Oh, he does manage to tell her that he taught Esme to read and write (My husband walked in at this point and said "Hey! Is that that guy with the nun? He's in everything!) Monica says stupid stuff about it being easy to find work. Monica asks what he thinks Esme could be doing right now. His voice over tells us he's sure she's waiting for her boyfriend and he's surely wanting to run to her side because he can't since he's a wimpy twit who can't stand up to his mother.
• Esme gets hit by a car while crossing the street. Luckily she isn't badly hurt. Ernesto (the driver...I think that's the name Esme said.) buys food for the whole dumpster crew it seems. And more-he offers Esme a job in his company! 
• Pablo tells Mariano that he will never love Monica the way she wants. He's too in love with Esme. (Hell of a way to show it, buddy.)
• Esme delivers the food to her friends. When she's done she asks Diosito to watch over her dad. She also says she wanted to run to Pablo to tell her about the job, but she figures he doesn't even want to see her anymore.
• Esme goes to her job interview. She looks so sweet. Her hair is off her face and she's wearing the ribbon Pablo gave her when they were kids.Surprise! Rita shows up. Gawd I cannot stand this skull-faced bruja! Just watching this again is making by blood boil. Ernesto thought Rita was an orphan. The secretary says he was mistaken...and he doesn't look happy. Clearly his intentions are skeevy.
• Esme misses a play date with Pablo. 
• Rita and Ernesto seem to understand each other rather quickly. She wants money and he wants La Gata. Of course, it just looks like an innocent interview (which Rita manages to control. She even says at one point "hold on, this interview isn't over." )
• An oh mylanta as if my blood weren't boiling enough, Pablo goes looking for Esme and he gets Ines instead. She looks hungry and she's craving a Pablo sammich. Blech.
• Rita pushes for more money. Ernesto offers to give Esme an advance. Esme is no dummy. She knows something is up. She's not going to take the advance or his advances. Ernesto defuses the situation. Esme can start tomorrow. Rita confirms that they are going to get their money. Well now that there is a higher bidder, it looks like the Meatball is out of the picture.
• SQUEE !!! Best part!!! Centavo (Carlos) has gone to the Negrete mansion with a woman from the dump to beg for some things. He meets Virginia and he is smitten!!! Oh and she looks so happy to meet him, too! He is very gentlemanly and introduces himself, but is a little offended when she doesn't take his hand. The woman he's with explains that Virginia is blind (no tiene luz en sus ojos. ) He feels stupid, but Virginia tells him not to worry. I love how she calls him Carlos.  Virginia says she feel like she can see him with her soul and that he's a good person. She wants to be friends with him. She tells him to visit whenever he can. This scandalizes the maid. 
• Pablo doesn't want Esme working for the new Meatball. He rightly surmises that the man is a perv. Esme doesn't think so. She reminds him that he eats every day, but she doesn't. She has to work. Pablo wants to work and help her. She wants him to finish school and then look for work. Pablo doesn't want to risk the new Perv falling in love with her. Esme says nothing will separate them. Pable says he's going to talk to his dad and MAKE him understand. He gets on one knee and proposes to Esmeralda.
