Caray, Caray!

Refritos:

The animal protection folks arrive and announce they are there because there was an accusation/complaint of animal abuse. They tell Maria, grandma, et al that you can’t have animals like these in this area, and that the complaint/accusation came from Isabela Bocceli de Velasco.

Said Isabela is with Frederick in her house… he wants her to come along to some sale event. She can’t leave the house.  He will go alone to the bank to solicit a limit-less credit card (yeah right, like they will hand it to you).

Back in the ruckus outside, Facu won’t let the men take the animals.   He tells the guys that their animals are well loved and taken care of.  Porfirio comes and seconds Facu’s statement. 

The guys insist they have to take the animals away… grandma, gusana and Jacinto get in the ‘leave ‘ em here!’ team. Andres is just a few yards away watching the action…

Maria sneaks away… she is steaming angry and heading in a direct line toward Isabel who is now with Conchita saying some yoga/spiritual hymn… with headphones on… they don’t see or hear Maria until Maria is right on top of Isabel ripping her headphones away.  Conchita gets stuttering scared while Isa screams bloody murder and Maria starts following her around the huge fountain area.  Isabel and Maria end up in the water… Maria seems to be in her zone while Isabela keeps screaming/whealing and yelling for help. COnchita comes to try to help her but only gets wet too.  Now the threesome are dancing some strange ring around the rosie game around one of the fountains.

Suddenly Maria all dripping wet comes in her house, still angry.  She won’t tell and it is not until Grandma and Porfirio try to get her to speak… that she responds.  She has a really weird scary voice as if she were now a zombie… threats Facu not to leave the house… she heads right back out. Facu is scared and runs after her.  Grandma does not let Porfirio do anything… Gusana approaches him and says she understands him, not so the oxygenated blonde across the street.

Beto comes to Isabel’s store to visit Rocio. Rocio is glad to see him and opens up to him, sayings he is tired of the life she is running and the family she is living with.  She does not want to talk about the reality, rather close her eyes and enjoy this very moment. They are about to kiss when a customer lady comes in asking about the wraps that Maria had made and they sold at the store. The lady insists asking Rocio to look in the back closets… Rocio assures her they don’t have any more in the store.  The lady leaves. Beto asks if she was asking about the wraps his mom was making. Rocio says yes, ladies come asking for them daily. IF your mom kept making them she would become a millionaire.

Back at the Velasco house, Isabel is on the phone… she is talking about suffering from a trauma she calls ‘acute rancheritis’.  Seems she is on phone with her psychiatrist.  Santee comes in and does not recognize Isabel due to her behavior. He asks her what she is smoking… she hugs him and says it was Maria who almost killed her for accusing/complaining about them to the animal protection agency.  Santee reprimends her for messing with / provoking Maria again.  Isabel says look what she did to me!! (he asks what?? Then realizes she is freaking out because Maria got her wet).  Isabel grabs a dress and says she will get payback where it hurts Maria most… the big prize (I guess she means Facundo).

Gusana and Jacinto are playing with Margarito. They are trying to dress Margarito up to make him pass as a dog so the guys won’t take him.  Facu comes in and assures them no one will take any animals from this house… as sure as my name is Facundo Carmona! …

At dinner table Facu announces that the guys from the animal protection agency will come visit tomorrow to see how well they care for the animals… From there the subject changed suddenly to again arguments between Perpetua and Porfirio about boiled eggs…

Doorbell rings… again… and again… and again…  Conchita announces that the police are there asking for Maria.  They say they have a legal suit against Maria from her neighbor Isabel Velasco. They have to take Maria to the police station now.  Facu protests, assures they they won’t take Maria anywhere!!  The guys remind Facundo they represent the authorities. Maria comes and says she will go with them.  Meanwhile Jacinto has brought Lalita and the calf hits the guy in the rear (or the guy just sees the calf) and the guy faints to the floor.  Now they are taking Facundo away too as well as Maria.

Esteban and Estefi are talking about who the baby will look like… The doctor is back.  The doctor is a bit confused, kind of amused that Esteban has brought him two women with ‘child’ problems. Esteban says now he wants to know if Estefi is pregnant. 

At the Velasco’s Feli and Rocio are in living room with Isabel and Santee, Rocio wants to question Isa for accusing Maria.  Isa calls them traitors, so Fel and Rocio run out. But Santee and Isa won’t let Alejandra go with them.

Back to the hospital. Esteban wants to know RIGHT NOW!!!  Doctor says its 99.9% sure that Esteban will not be a parent now either… He tells Estefi that she is not going to be a mother… and offers to give Esteban a checkup of his prostate LOL!!.

Feli and Rocio are at the Carmonas sort of apologizing for Isabel and saying they are definitely not part of it.  Grandma sort of takes it on them but Beto and Carmen defend them and make Grandma rethink it. Porfirio says Maria is just a hair away from being a Saint.  Jacinto suddenly has the need to run to you know where…  Grandma says to add insult to injury the guys from the animal protection are coming tomorrow. They tell Rocio and Feli about Isa causing that too.

Back to hospital… Esteban tells Estefi to not implicate him… he would have liked for her to be preggers with Santee’s kid… Estefi laughs about if she were, she would love to see Puchi’s (Isa’s) face when she found out.  Esteban says we just have to keep trying.  Estefi thinks to herself that the one she would like to keep trying is Facu.  But she voices a confirmation to Esteban that she will keep trying with Santee.

Santee and Isa are now alone in their living room. He is trying to give her a guilt trip… she has the typical Isabel reaction ‘what about me?? What about the trauma I went through?’  She assures her she is not thinking about Facu. He says he would rather say Facu is ALL she cares about.  But too bad for you that he rejected you time and time again.  She gets desperate, wants to take her drops/meds.  She is dipping the entire bottle in her mouth and he is trying to stop her. She yells that he can’t play marriage counselor with her and she even makes a reference to ‘Laura’ (not Laura Bozzo, is it?)

At Carmona’s… Beto is nervous, Grandma is trying to calm him … Facu and Maria come home… Conchita offers to prepare her a bath and tila tea.  Facu announces that they will need to show up in court soon.  But at least Maria was released.  Grandma is angry, shouts to Facu.  Maria tries to defend him.  Facu tells Maria not to worry about anything. 

A new day… Isabel is dreaming now that she is shopping and her credit cards are topped out.  She has some weird clips and rollers on her hair… she only came for some shoes that she must have, but the guy is shoving her out of the store…  it all happens in some small closet size box.  Santee wakes her up… tells her she is worse than the Carmona’s rooster.  Then he basically says she has a shallow head (no brains).

Then they all are at a mass for some lady named Malena Boscelli (is this the mass for Rocio’s mother? I guess so. Since Feli, Rocio and Alejandra are there with Santee, Isabel and Frederick… ) Feli thinks to himself that he was able to spend so little time with his mom and tells her how much he missed her… The mass is over.  They all leave, except Rocio.  She stays there to pray… same lines.. she misses her mom so much… its been so long since she left… she can’t find resignation, begs God to give it to her. 

Isabel has also stayed behind… she is actually whispering her prayer… she tells the Virgencita that she knows why Isabel has to keep quiet (we did learn last night at the elevator that Feli and Rocio are actually her kids, not her nephew and niece… unless she is lying of course). She knows she’s hurting them.  She doesn’t know why she behaves this way. Since Facundo arrived at her life, he was so kind and so loving with his family that she could not help but fall in love with him. She knows its wrong, because Facu is married to a good woman and she (Isa) is also married to a good man… but she is in love… and God knows this feeling is stronger than anything… She begs for help from God to take Facu out of her heart. She knows Facu can’t be hers… she wants to stop feeling this (love)… she begs for help to be a better person…and asks for forgiveness for having abandoned Jesus…

Later on at dinner table, everyone is quiet.  Jacinto asks for Maria. Facu tells them she is resting… but then Maria shows up… she won’t stay away because of the tarugada that Isabela pulled on her. She says we all have to be ready for the visit from the folks from the animal protection agency. 

Seems this was right after the mass… the Velascos are back home. Santee congratulates Isabel for the ceremony/mass she asked for. IT was nice and he is proud of her.  Santee calls their attention to the silence… its been a while since they were together in peace as a family. Isabel breaks the moment by saying she hopes the folks from the animal protection agency are not at the Carmonas. Santee rants at her for talking only about them.  Rocio adds on to the rant asking Isabel why she keeps fighting a war on the neighbors.  Isabel says there has to be some level or order. Santee rants that there must be order in their own household first. Santee, Feli and Rocio end up walking out and saying they will have breakfast somewhere else. Santee will drop Alejandra off at school on the way. So Isabel ends up all alone at table. Isa ends up inviting Conchita to sit at the table with her to enjoy the food.  Isabel then tells Conchita that she needs to declare in her favor at the court session. Conchita jumps up from her chair and says she can’t do that…  She loves her whole family but she can’t stand Isabel’s behavior.  Isa mocks her asking if she will work again for the Carmonas.  Conchita says not funny.  She walks away on Isa also.  Isa paces around the dining room all by herself talking as the victim, no one of them respect or consider me.  She again takes more of her drops (those that are slowly making her more and more insane). 

The Carmonas all have some leis on their neck and the ladies hair, including Petunia the cow… when the agency guys arrive.  The agency guys explain that they have too many animals for it being an urban location so they have to evaluate all the animals individually.  Facundo tells the family that they won’t get anywhere by getting too rough on the agency guys. 

Previews:  At gym, Isabel and Maria have a confrontation…  Isabel dares Maria to get used to the idea that … (we don’t hear but I would say its about who ends up with Facu)
