Caray, Caray!

The Chapel of Love

Patrick asks Renzi to be a witness at his wedding to Silvana.  Once Patrick leaves, Renzi promptly picks up the phone and makes an CYA call to Peralta.

The next morning, at the courthouse, Silvana and Patrick are waiting for the clerk to call their names.  Renzi has yet to arrive.  Patrick begins to get frosty tootsies and tries to talk Silvana out of the shotgun nuptuals.  She's too classy to get married by a Justice of the Peace, he says.  A chick like her needs to get married in a church with a wedding planner.  Silvana will hear none of it.  They will get married right now and plan a big shindig on the honeymoon. Their conversation is chillingly interrupted by Peralta who believes that his invitation got lost in the mail.  Patrick pees on himself a little bit when he turns and sees Peralta and his thugs. 

Peralta says that Patrick should be marrying Sophia and not Silvana.  He says that Patrick cannot marry without his permission.  Silvana protests and says that she and Patrick are in love.  She boldly assures Peralta that the secret marriage will not change the outcome of Peralta's evil plans.  As husband and wife, she and Patrick will continue to work towards the destruction of Ripoll.  Peralta is pissed and says that Silvana knows too much!  Peralta calls the wedding is off!  Silvana tries to protest but Patrick tells her to OBEY!  Peralta and his two thugs escort the happy couple out of the courthouse. 

Ripoll

When Sophia arrives at work, Paco is waiting in her office.  After stuttering a bit, he gets to the point.  I'm your daddy!  Yes, that's how he said it.  At first, Sophia thinks he came from Crazy Town.  She tells him that he's mistaken, her father was a dead alcoholic named Cipriano Fuentes.  Paco tells her that Greta lied, he's her daddy.  Greta was the love of his life and he hated her for leaving him.  Sophia is impactada!  Then who was the dead dude?  Paco says that he doesn't know, but what is important is that she is his kid.  Anyway, he tells her that Greta finally revealed  the truth to him.  The wheels start to turn and the Bimbo realizes that she was crying over a dead stranger.  Worse yet, her mother sent her on a wild grey goose chase when her real father was always located right across the street from Ripoll.  Sophia wants to know why her mother hid Paco from her.  Paco explains the silly promise at the altar.  Sophia is shocked to know that Octavio knew that she was not his daughter. 

Paco recalls the day that he and Sophia met.  It was Ripoll's 30th anniversary.  He says that he immediately got a warm fuzzy feeling from being near her.  That sounds a little creepy when your father says it.  So, they decide that they like each other.  They hug it out and agree to learn more about one another. 

Divorce Court

Araceli runs into Armando's lawyer at the courthouse.  He tells her that he got there early so that he could tell the judge that Irma is a suicidal, paralysis fakin', false report makin', lying nutjob!  Top that!  He will ask the judge that Nandito remain with Armando until the case is decided!  Araceli says that she will ask the judge to declare the child's mother's home as his primary residence.  So there!

Armando's lawyer explains Araceli's case to him.  Armando tells the lawyer that Nandito wants return to live with Irma.  The lawyer advises Armando to return Nandito home immediately!  The judge will see this as kidnapping!  It is against the law to keep anyone against their will.  Armando believes that if he takes Nandito home, Irma will continue to brainwash him against Armando.  Armando just needs a couple of days alone with Nandito to undo Irma's damage and to reprogram the child with his own agenda and to make them a family with Alexa.

Araceli meets with Irma and informs her that Armando's lawyer plans to tell the judge that she's psychotic, suicidal, pathetic and useless to this show!    Araceli advises Irma to see a therapist.  Once the judge hears Armando's case, Irma could lose her kid.  Irma says that she is the sanest person in this whole situation.

Benito's Last Day

During breakfast, Paolo stops by Snob Hill to pick up Alexa for rehearsal and wardrobe.  Benito escapes from the bedroom and is corralled under a table.  Once outside, Alexa tells Paolo that she's bummed because Nandito gave the pig back and wants nothing to do with her.  Paolo says that she should have expected the boy to hate her.  From Nandito's point of view, she's Yoko and she broke up the band.  Alexa insists that she is not a man-stealer. Alexa doesn't want to take Benito back to the pet shop and asks Paolo to keep the pig.  Paolo says that he travels a lot and would be unable to keep it. 

At the pet shop, the tree huggin', tofu eatin', hemp wearin', pet shop owner chastises Alexa for bringing back the pig!  Although Alexa does not ask for her money back, the animal activist explains that pets are our friends and are just like children.  They have feelings and emotions and feel very sad when they have to adjust to different families and environments.  Suddenly, this hippie PSA is interrupted by a little girl who falls in love with Benito.  We are happy to learn that Nandito made it to a new home and not to someone's plate. 

Greta's Apology

While Paco visits Sophia, Greta visits Lupe.  Greta apologizes to Lupe for kicking her buns out of the factory.  If Lupe would like to sell her buns in the cafeteria, Greta will allow it.  Lupe refuses to return because Greta insulted her son!  Lupe will sell her buns on the street corner before she returns to a place like Ripoll.  Lupe says that Greta is a stuck up, judgmental hypocrite!  Greta may not like the fact that Lupe sells her buns, but Greta's candy is infected and no one knows who contaminated it.  She's heard that there are several suspects... and some are chocolatiers. Yeah, she went there! 

Anways, Greta runs over to Ripoll to tell Sophia that Lupe did not accept her heartfelt apology.  Sophia confronts Greta about Paco!

Thanks to Jarifa for yesterday's recap.  I really appreciate it!
