Caray, Caray!

Armando's Hell Home
Irma tells Armando that she will kill herself if he takes Nandito away from her.  Armando caves; he won't take him.  Nandito asks Armando to look after his mother tonight.  Armando agrees, but warns Irma not to get any ideas.  Armando takes Nandito to school. 

Later, over coffee, Irma grills Araceli about the neighborhood watch meeting.  Irma asks Araceli not to tell anyone about her suicide attempt. 

Casa de Red Cruz
At the Cruz residence, Lupe watches as Javier gobbles down his grub.  Javier mistakes Lupe's arm for a piece of bacon and nibbles on it in between sips of coffee.  He takes co-credit for them raising their children well.  They did something right when they had those kids.  He suggests that they get back together because she still loves him.  Lupe immediately gets up and walks out of kitchen. 

Lupe visits Paco at his store and tells him that is coldness is hurting her.  Paco reminds her that she's a married woman and her husband is living in her home.  She tells him that Araceli is working on her divorce.  Paco doesn't care.  He just wants to know the date and time that Javier will get to steppin'. 

Renzi's Real Estate Office/Woods

Excuse me, could you hold it down?  I'm on an important evil conference call!

Renzi receives a report from Manjarres that Chava picked up Sophia.

You're still on the show?  Seriously?

Patrick, who is visiting Renzi, orders the investigator to follow them and take lots of photos.  He wants enough proof to destroy the romance completely.  Renzi wants to know if Patrick has fallen for Sophia because he's acting jealous.  Patrick assures him that he's still all business, but he wants to get rid of Chava because Sophia was all his before Chava showed up.  Nobody takes what belongs to him. 

Fausto has arranged for Chava to drive Sophia around for the day.  Instead of driving her to work, Chava as a surprise.  Anyways, Chava's big surprise was to waste Sophia's (a busy CEO) time by taking her out into the woods and to share his idea of creating a ecological park in the neighborhood. Why he couldn't share his idea in the car on the way to Ripoll, we will never know.  Luckily for him, Sophia's only got love on her mind.  She asks him if he can think of anything else that they could do..alone..in the woods... together.  Unbeknownst to them, Manjarres has trailed them by foot (I saw no car or any other mode of transport). He takes multiple photos of the two love birds pussy footing around the mouth.  Chava makes ugly, I mean passionate faces.  Anyways, like me, Manjarres gets bored and sends what I am certain was a sarcastic text to Renzi.  The "romance" is in progress.  After viewing the photo, Patrick orders him to take some more because so far he's seen absolutely no proof a romance based on those photos.  Sophia breaks the kiss off.  She wants to respect Patrick.    Sophia wants to talk and asks Chava why he hates his father.  I would say that the mention of his father was like a cold shower to Chava, but trust me, there was nothing hot going down in this scene.  Chava and Sophia sit down in the grass. He hates his dad because he took him to parties with loose women.  He watched his father cheat on his mother and realized that he was a bum. 

Zepeda will be here in episode 79.  Pass it along!

They continue to make out by passionately kissing only the sides of one another's mouths (not the lips). Where oh where is Zepeda? Sophia shares that Alexa was Octavio's favorite.  He only took an interest in Sophia when she began to get good grades in school.  She says that her father would not approve of her kissing Chava out in the woods.  She wants to go back to the office.  They get in the car and Manjarres runs after them (again, I see no mode of transportation...he must have teleported himself there). 

Patrick has gathered enough proof that there is at least a Disney romance occurring.  Renzi tells him to stop frowning and put a smile on his face before he gets back to Ripoll. 

Armando enters Alexa office.  He tells her that he slept at home last night.  Alexa loses her mind.  How dare he sleep with his wife!  He says that he slept there to watch over his kid.  Alexa yells that Irma is manipulating him.  Later, Alexa finds Armando speaking with Matias.  She tells Matias that Silvana is looking for him.  She apologizes to Armando and warns him that staying at home will give Irma the wrong idea.

I'm your little dirty birdy

Matias finds Silvana in Sophia's office and is disappointed to learn that she didn't ask for him.  Sophia tells Sophia to find a meeting room for the neighborhood watch.  Patrick protests.  Sophia asks Patrick questions about Renzi's business practices and associates.  Patrick becomes offended and then asks her out for lunch. 

Zapatos will be near in 1979.  Pass it along!

While Patrick is his office printing out copies of photos, Greta calls and invites them home for lunch to celebrate Dani successful exams. 



When Patrick and Sophia arrive at mansion, Sophia runs upstairs to change her pants.  The bottom of her pants are covered in mud from her romp in the woods.  Patrick asks Greta for a private meeting in the office.  Greta is shocked to see the photos lacking in chemistry.  She thinks that the photos are fake. 

Proof that there was a passionate head butting session

Patrick assures her that they are real.  Greta tells him to pay whatever the blackmailers want.  Tearfully, Patrick says that he's hurt because Sophia betrayed their love.  Greta will straighten it out.  The marriage will go on.

And then she said that Zepeda had the better six-pack!

Later at lunch, Greta angrily reminds her daughters of their places and familial duties. 

Daniela: study and get good grades. 
Alexa: marry well.
Sophia: be the best example to her sisters.
