Caray, Caray!

Gusana and Ale… talking about Andres… while grilling some meat. 

Mireya and Esteban argue about Isa. Este says Isa looks better instead of worse so the treatment isn’t working. Mireya claims it is.  Isa is ABOUT TO fall apart.  She will suffer a terrible crisis.  Esteban questions it… what he sees is Isa is more smart… even more beautiful.   He wants results! How is Mireya with Santee?  Este shows very impatient. He needs to see Isa and Santee split and Santee sunk in despair.  Isa calls Mireya.  Este tells Mireya to agree to a meeting. He is running out of patience. He needs Isa locked in a nut-house ASAP.

Back at the grill, Jacinto and a couple young redhead boys (the ones that bullied him early on at school are now going to be good to him, per what Jacinto says) join the girls.  Gusana not so quick to trust them. The boys walk away. The twin boys have a plan of their own.. I guess their turnaround is not so.

At office, Santee arrives at Facu’s office with a suitcase… make that two suitcases. He opens them for Facu. They are FULL OF MONEY!!  Santee says it is the worst humiliation he ever had to suffer at a bank. As if he had a farmers market stand… Facu mocks him a bit since he once DID have a farmers market stand. Santee says never mind, here’s your money bill by bill.  Facu reminds him it is money he loaned him the same way, bill by bill. Santee does not want to remember the past, but Facu does.  Facu would not trust Santee further than he could throw him.  Facu is hungry, he is about to order food while they count the money by hand.  Facu even will pay for Santee’s food… Santee reacts as if it were a tragedy. 

At Mireya’s office, Isa has arrived. Isa whines that at home things are ok… the pills have worked well. But she gets cross-eyed and asks Mireya for help.  Mireya serves Isa some wine to give her another pill. 

Back at The Carmonas, Carmen has joined the girls by the pool. The party is going well so far, they comment.  Francis arrives. And starts annoying Carmen.  Diego and Feli along with the shadow girls arrive.  The boys both have something for Carmen and they reach in front of Francis to give it to her at unison, causing a cup of drink to spill right on Francis face and outfit.  They all laugh it off except Francis, who is offended, as always.

Back to Mireya’s office… Isa gets real upset… Mireya asks if she has been taking the pills.  Isa says she can’t drink so much because her kids are watching and nagging her for it.  Mireya says the treatment only works after 3 weeks. Isa says its been 4 weeks. Mireya says you gotta be patient.  And serves her another glass of drink.  Mireya sends Isa home to rest. Isa gets some twitches on her neck but thanks Mireya for her help, you are better than all other therapies, yoga, mantras, etc.  She leaves very happy.

At office, Facu and Santee are still counting money. Santee is loving the flautas (food).   Facu is counting with his toes too (EWWWW LOL!!)  Santee says this is absurd… and then complains that the sauce is a bit too spicy.  Santee says we should let the machines count the money.  Facu wants them to keep counting.  Santee gets a phone call. It is Mireya, she has to see him ASAP to talk about something serious about Isa.  Santee runs out to meet her at a café near her office.  Facu wonders whats up with Isa.

At café, Mireya arrives to see Santee.  She is dressed to the nines, more for a date than for a doctor/relative meeting.  She says she’s worried about Isa.  The treatment isn’t working. Santee says no, she gets along better with the kids now. Mireya says no, that’s a fake improvement, we have to get her institutionalized. (locked up).  We see briefly Jacinto with Tito the donkey baby.  (with saddle on! Looks cute!! LOL!!)

Santee says Mireya gave Isa permission to drink. Mireya says no I didn’t!!  Mireya tells Santee that Isa will end up affecting everyone that is around her and making them crazy too.  She tells him Isa’s problem is critical and will eventually need 24/7 care at a hospital.  Santee impactado.

Francis and the shadow girls are sitting at a table at the party happening at Carmonas.  Carmen and everyone congratulate Beto on the food/grill.  Everyone loved the guacamole.  In comes Hilda to brag on Beto’s grilled meat back in town.  Rocio says you go ahead and fantasize, he will never cook for you again.  Gusana prevents the confrontation from getting more heated.  The focus changes to Alejandra. Jacinto invites her to something… The twin redhead boys are talking about their plan and then Hilda invites herself to their team.  There are ants in a paper bag and they let them loose.  The first victims are Francis and the shadow girls who start yelling and climbing on the table… Beto says everyone to the water!! And they all jump in.  the camera freezes as each one jumps in.  Beto carries Rocio in his arms while jumping in. 

Later on Beto and Rocio have a cute scene together later on between the houses.  She praises his cooking… Rocio says that Beto’s grandma would have said ‘those redhead boys ran away from the devil!’  Beto starts the subject of having kids…  She is more scared that he wants to have 7 kids. They get more smooch and lovey dovey talk… kiss.  Beto is a bit miffed that the redhead boys are still laughing about the prank.  Rocio says even the ants must be laughing on our account.

At another spot Porfirio is sweet-talking Conchita who has a basket of eggs in her hands.  He calls her his Concha.  They walk into Jacinto and Gusana who are doing school work on natural science.  Porfirio is glad so they will grow up to be good people.  Jacinto says that’s why we moved to the city. Grandpa says I wish all of you remembered that, most of your siblings don’t even remember why we came here.  But then Grandpa and Conchita keep walking away and he resumes the lovey dovey convo about his Concha.

Beto, Rocio and Maria run into Panzon (the tattle tell guy who spied on her for Florencio)  Seems the guy is Hilda’s dad.  And she has several sisters.  He offers the girls to go back to the capital with Maria to help her knit her designs.  Maria is a bit reluctant… oopsie, maybe they’re not his daughters, only his employees. Rocio sells the job to the girls since they can work from home and on their own hours.

At college, Francis and the shadow girls run into Carmen and Francis does not waste time to mock Carmen. Carmen gets instantly miffed with them. Walks away and they follow her.  They are mocking her for praying to the virgin.  Yada yada, Francis goes on with her dirty talk mocking Carmen as a farmer girl… Carmen getting annoyed/angry at her.  And the subject of Diego comes up.  Francis swears Diego will play with Carmen and then drop her as used goods.  Do you really believe he could be interested in you?  If you give him what he wants right away he’ll drop you and if you take your time he’ll drop you anyway. 

Back at Panzon’s  he is not happy he is losing some girl employees.  Maria warns him not to tell Florencio about her comings and goings.   Florencio arrives and Panzon and his girls walk away. Beto gets a bit uneasy. Rocio and Beto get in the truck so Florencio and Maria have some time to talk alone. 

At college, Diego is coming in and Felipe crosses him with the car.  Felipe demands Diego respect Carmen and is there to defend her from Diego. Diego says that is your problem, you are just her friend.  Felipe admits he let her go and that is why Diego got her. Felipe says ‘Carmen deserves a guy who will treat her right, and if you are not going to then you better get away from her’.  Diego asks ‘are you going to hit a guy with glasses on? ‘ Felipe yells ‘then take them off!’, takes them off himself and then punches Diego. Diego falls to the parking lot floor stunned. Diego yells ‘Carmen is with me because she loves me! I will let this one slip because I know its because you are jealous but next time…’  Felipe says ‘ya! I had fame as Felipe the menace at kinder and elementary school! Consider yourself warned!   Carmen arrives to demand explanations for the brawl. Felipe says its only between him and Diego. He tells Diego to remember what he told him (with the gesture of ‘im watching you!’). Diego says he already forgot (what Felipe told him). Felipe drives away. Diego then turns his anger/frustration on Carmen saying he is tired of having to deal with her brother and Diego and everyone else because of her so…. I have had it. I am tired!  … (leaves in a huff, leaving her confused as to what just happened) She calls someone on cell.

Beto gets out of the truck and warns Florencio that Maria only has time for ‘mi apa’’, her husband.’ Florencio comments that Beto is brave.  Maria says just like his dad. Florencio asserts that he could have been the father of all her kids. If it wasn’t for the fact that the ‘mendigo’ of Facundo stole my life from me. 

In the truck, Beto is revisiting his decision to have left Maria with Florencio when his dad asked/demanded that he watch over Maria all the time.  Beto tells Rocio that Florencio is the owner of a lot of the area… he is a crop engineer.  He has plenty of money, foreign horses, yada yada… he was going to marry my mom many years ago.  Beto tells Rocio how it happened…

 Facu arrived in horseback to the church and Maria left in the middle of her wedding to ride away with Facu, leaving Florencio yelling for her from the church door (just like the scene we had in Ramona with Kate del Castillo and Eduardo Palomo).  A while later Maria confirmed to Facu that she loved only him. They agreed to elope. He already has the priest elsewhere ready to marry them.  She was going to marry Florencio because she had given her word but Facu is the love of her life. Facu swears eternal love to her. They seal the deal with a kiss…

Rocio is excited to learn how it all happened. 

Maria is nagging at Florencio for having called to her house.  Florencio says he was worried for her when El Panzon told him how things were in her household.  Maria is irritated and is ready to leave. But she can’t leave without him telling her that he still loves her… and if she ends it with Facu one day, Florencio will be waiting for her.  Maria reminds Florencio that his wife died only a year ago. He claims that he only married her to try to forget Maria, but he never could.  She just walks back to the truck quietly.  Maria won’t tell Beto anything of what she talked with Florencio, only demands he not tell Facu that she talked to Florencio.

Back at school, Carmen had summoned Diego back to talk again.  Diego meets her later at school.  She tells him what Pancha told her.  He is miffed that Carmen believed what Francis said, he wants to leave because if he had known it was for this, he would never have come.  He prepared a surprise for Carmen’s “first time” only for Beto to beat him up and for Felipe to defend her and for her to change her mind about ‘doing it’ (te me pusieras de digna). Carmen asks him to understand. He asks the same. He is with her because he likes her and wants to be with her in every way. She claims that was not the way she was raised. He says If she is going to just give him some justifications, he is not even going to talk to her… call me when you’re over your issues.  He walks away and she takes off after him… we see Pancha and the shadow girls pop out from behind the half wall. Pancha says ‘it’s the beginning of the end for them’. 

Maria, Rocio and Beto arrive hime all happy.  They bought some jellies and preserves at the market.  Facu also arrives. Maria questions if he is not supposed to be at the office now.  Estefi also arrives with a couple of trash bags with her stuff.  Maria reminds Facu and the Carmonas that they need to welcome her at their house. Rocio steps in and says she can’t act like a hypocrite and announces to the Carmonas that ‘this Senora was my uncle Santiago’s lover’.

Previews: Facu says he came home early from work to welcome her. Then he asks Beto how it went.  Maria gets miffed… ‘what do you want to know from Beto? If I saw Florencio? I did!’  ‘So you did see the scarecrow!’  Maria is very confrontational with him and he has the ‘I am the boss of you’ daring stare.
