Caray, Caray!

From Wednesday:
Paco can't get the questions out of his mind. He needs to know the truth - is Sofia his daughter?

New Stuff:
Greta visits Isadora and tells her about Sofia calling off her wedding. Greta can't understand it; Pato is the perfect man for Sofia! Isadora opens a flask and pours a shot of booze into her coffee. She tells Greta that there is only one reason why a woman calls off a wedding - because there is another man involved. Greta insists that another man can't possibly be the reason! Sofia is classier than that!



Sofia gives Marisol a generous advance check. Marisol can't believe her good fortune. Now she'll be able to take care of her sick (cough, cough, dirtbag! cough) father who has brought his drunken ass and his germs back to the family casa. Sofia wonders why Chava didn't tell her that his dad had returned. Marisol tells her that Chava hates Javier because he's a drunken dirtbag who abandoned them.

Geronimo Peralta talks to Oliver about Isadora. Isadora claims she divorced him because of his work. The truth is that Geronimo divorced her because of her drinking problem.

Alexa gives Armie the news that Sofia has cancelled her wedding.

Araceli is sure that there was something between Paco and Greta because he gets very upset every time Araceli mentions Greta's name. Araceli tells Chava about the photograph she found of Paco, Greta, Octavio and Martin Coria that was taken in their younger years. Chava gets a call from Armie who relays the news about Sofia cancelling her wedding. Chava is ecstatic. He knows it was because of their night together in Buenaventura. After Chava hangs up Araceli asks if he got good news. He just beams, "The best news in the world!"

Silvana asks Sofia if it's true that she's cancelled her wedding. Sofia confesses that she is confused about her feelings for Salvador. Silvana encourages Sofia to dump Pato for Salvador. Sofia thinks that Silvana should take some time off but Silvana would rather be working than at home crying.

Lupe' takes Javier's temperature. His temp is normal but he claims that he is still sick. Lupe' stands to go call the doctor, but before she can leave Javier grabs her arm and demands to know what is going on between her and Paco.

Sofia has heard that Armie fixed the factory machines. He tells her that it wasn't difficult to do since all motors function the same way with the same principles. She offers him a job maintaining the factory machinery with a substantial raise in pay. This means, of course, that he won't be the chauffeur for Alexa or the family anymore. Armie tells Sofia that his passion is mechanics. The chauffeur's job was only supposed to be a temporary position anyway. He accepts her offer. Sofia wants to ask Armie something personal. What's the situation between Salvador and his father?

Peralta calls Renzi about the real estate deals. Renzi claims everything is fine but Peralta knows that Renzi hasn't acquired a single property in weeks. Peralta calls Renzi an incompetent idiot. He wants results now! Renzi doesn't even get time to attend his own pity party before he gets a call from Fuzzy Tavares. He heard Renzi was robbed and ended up in the hospital. Tavares wants all the details of the attack. Renzi tells him it was a terrible experience. Tavares asks why Renzi didn't report the robbery. Renzi claims he didn't have time, he was too busy. Good grief. That's the dumbest excuse I've ever heard. If you're lying in a hospital bed you have time to make a call. Tavares asks if the assault happened in the neighborhood. Renzi gets flustered and upset. First he's accused of being behind the robberies, then he's a victim!

Armie tells Sofia that Javier was a drunk and a bad father who abandoned his family many times and only came back this time because he was sick and needed someone to take care of him. Armie wants Sofia to know that Chava is a good man and she shouldn't let him go.

Marisol shows her advance check to Lucas. She's going to use the money to take care of her papa. Lucas takes Marisol's face in his hands and tells her she has a good heart. Dani walks in the break room just in time to see them.

Armie tells Alexa about his new position. She is very happy for him and wants to celebrate.

Araceli and Lupe' talk about the divorce. Lupe' cautions Araceli to talk quietly because she doesn't want Javier to hear. Araceli knows that Lupe' loves Paco. Javier has been listening from the doorway of the bedroom. He thought bubbles, "If you think you're divorcing me Lupe'..."

Paco gets a call from Miguelina who says that Greta wants her to get all the groceries for the Ripoll house from Paco's store. She's calling to place an order.

Silvana sits at her desk crying. Matias peeks in the door and offers to get her some lunch. She can't, she has too much work. Matias crouches down by her chair and tells her the light has gone out of her beautiful eyes. She agrees that is how she feels. He hopes his love will put the light back in her eyes and her heart. He asks if her sadness is because of Patricio. She gets angry and kicks him out of her office.

Chava calls Sofia

The doctor checks Javier's temperature and can't understand why he still has a fever. Lupe' assures the doctor that Javier has been getting his medicine. Doc says that Javier needs another day. After he and Lupe' leave the bedroom, Javier pulls a hot water bottle out of his pillowcase. "You're not getting me out of your life, Lupe'"

Oliver confronts Isadora over her drinking problem. What's he getting so excited about? She's only having an aperitif'! Isadora tells Oliver that he's exaggerating things.

At the Ripoll house, Alexa tells Greta that Sofia hired Armie to maintain the machines at the factory. They'll have to hire another chauffeur. Greta sighs, "First Salvador, then Armando." She doesn't know where they will find another driver she trusts like them.

At the race track, Chava is offered a job as a driver for time trials.

Greta, Alexa and Dani have dinner. Greta bitches that Sofia isn't with them because she cares more about the company than she does about her family. I'm pretty sure it's Sofia who is making sure Greta has food to stuff into her big mouth. Just sayin'.... Fausto answers a call and hands the phone to Greta at the table. When she discovers who is on the other end of the phone Greta leaves the table to take the call in her studio.

Armie brings Nandito home from school and tells him about his new job at the factory. While Nandito changes his clothes, Armie looks around for Irma.

Paco accuses Greta of trying to clear her guilty conscience about the past by ordering groceries from him.

Armie goes from the kitchen to the bedroom looking for Irma. He tries the bathroom door and finds that it's locked. He knocks on the door and calls for Irma but there is no answer. He pushes the door open and finds Irma unconscious on the bathroom floor. There is a brown bottle and pills on the floor next to her. Armie shakes her, "Irma! Irma! Answer me!" She doesn't respond. "No! No! You can't be dead!" He picks her up and yells to Nandito, "Call your aunt Araceli! I'm taking your mom to the hospital. He carries Irma out the door.

Silvana visits Christian at the rehab clinic. He assures her that he's better and will be getting out soon; then he'll be able to help Silvana get revenge on Sofia Ripoll. Silvana tells him the good news about Sofia cancelling her wedding. Soon Sofia will dump Pato for Salvador and Silvana will finally get the man she loves.

A bald guy watches Chava race around the track. Where have we seen this guy before?

Greta and Fausto talk about Paco. she let her prejudices overcome love.

At the hospital a doctor tells Armie that Irma tried to commit suicide.

Nandito tells Araceli he's worried about his mom. She hugs and comforts him. Later, she calls Chava to tell him about Irma.

Armie goes in to talk to Irma. He asks her why she tried to kill herself. Doesn't she care about Nandito? Irma says she doesn't want to be without Armie. She'd rather die than be alone. That may make her a bad mother but she was desperate. She's in love with Armando and always will be. She can't accept their separation. Armie leaves the room to ask the doctor if Irma will stay in the hospital or go home. Irma vows she'll force Armie to come back to her.
