Caray, Caray!

Bea had reacted alarmed when she learned Elsa sells her food at the agency. Elsa skips a breath. But Bea says ‘blessed be God, I am so glad we allow the more humble folks to earn a little money at the agency.’ This gets a nasty facial expression from Lichita and a sigh of relief from Elsa.


Daphne keeps talking about how good she feels (like shes at home) when she is around the Gutierrez. Bea says glad you behave so good around some folks. And that she should do the same here at home.


Elsa says she always thinks every child is different…


Bruno and Brisas… seems she lost a hard drive of his… she swears she will give it to him tomorrow. She wants to give him a ride home. He says better not, don’t want to get lost in all the things that you have in your car.


Lichita is leaving the ‘dinner party’. And so does Roberto want to, but Luciana pulls him by the arm and won’t let him leave just yet. She has to beg ‘dale, flaco!” it is obvious he is really uncomfortable with Luciana suggesting the night is young and we can still have LOTS of fun…. Daphne makes a comment of what Luciana’s idea of having fun is… Alex rants at Daphne and apologizes to Roberto. Roberto walks away, Luciana asks Daphne to not be like that… ‘we all had fun… didn’t we?’ Luciana walks away too. Daphne is grunting through the teeth… Daphne again mentions the email she sent Alex to him…


On their walk out to the car, Roberto does make a point when Luciana keeps mocking the Gutierrez… he says her words don’t speak well of her. Luciana claims that ‘those people’ are made for that, for us to mock them… ‘because they are ‘nacos’… Roberto says you don’t even know how to respect people, he wonders how she was educated to undermine people like that. She asks him why he is so irritated. HE just leaves… she says all the idiosyncrasy hurts…


At the house, Nacho and Lichita cuddle up… he tells her he can’t quite keep quiet when Roberto is hanging out with Luciana when he thought Lichita and Roberto were dating… Lichita tells him maybe she got together with the wrong guy. Nacho says all he wishes is that when she does really hook up with the guy, he hopes she is happy. He tells her to keep alert and working at Iconika… one of these days they will throw her a nice bone… (opportunity). You can do it, mija…


AT apartment, Roberto is telling Gumaro ‘I can’t stand my gf!! How do I get rid of her??’ Gumaro says you asked for it… Roberto says he can’t let Augusto suspect anything. Gumaro suggests operation Onisco… basically the strategy (operation molusco [shut seashell] is to bore the heck out of Luciana…


Said Luciana is on phone with her mom… mom is ranting that dad spent all the money and can’t sell a painting even by accident… we are living social embarrassment, having to live off the ring you stole from the Duke. Mom keeps ranting that Luciana fled and left them with all the messes to clean up. Repeats that Luciana can’t go to Argentina or otherwise she will end up in jail, with the striped uniforms that don’t do anything for your figure… Mom suggests Luciana should talk to the Duke and try to convince him to retire the accusation. Luciana refuses.


Roberto gives GUmaro Augusto’s wallet and asks him to find out everything he can about all the guy whose business cards are in the wallet… Roberto is determined to not let anyone take his child from him.



Bruno(Braulio? Can’t remember which) is at some props room at work and calls Brisas on phone. Seems its late at night by now. He woke her up. Apparently she is also at Iconika, in another room. We see Bruno/Braulio stare at her from a window in the room she is sleeping at.


Augusto calls Roberto in… tells him you will help me sell a ‘product’ that is very important for me, probably the most important product… it is my son Alejandro.


Such Alejandro is walking around with Lichita… she is listening about books he would recommend she read. He mentions Octavio Paz as a good author.


Augusto calls someone, calling him Socio… special socios like you… he is recommending his son… of course, I would not risk my own blood, I am not dumb. In any case, I have my niece (holding the magazine Luci and Rob are in cover)… or even her bf.


Back to Lichita/Alejandro… he keeps trying to get her to be informal when talking to him. ‘(no me hables de USted’) she will try. Lichita tells Alex that Daphne had confided in her the email where she asked him to come back home and to take her to Disneyland… Lichita tells him… you never read that email, did you? I just made up all that story… you did not come back to Mex for Daphne, did you? Did you? Why did you return? (he is in shock…)


He admits he never read Daphne’ email, but please don’t tell her. Lichita suggests he talk to Daphne, she needs a bit of love and attention.


Luciana comes by to split them up… but instantly we also have Roberto there and he asks Lichita to come over, he needs to talk to her. Alex says he has no problem, have to go find out what a ‘Director’ here does…


Roberto is showing a video to Lichita, Alejandro and Luciana a campaign video on a mattress company… Lichita tells about what different people would be dreaming about when sleeping on the mattress.


Back to Augusto’s call… he insists Iconika is his legacy and everyone here does what I say. In this world we should not trust anyone, you never know what could happen.


Back to the presentation of the video… Sandra asks this other guy and he says they have to do another video… Roberto asks Sandra to add Lichita to the campaign of Valenzuela. Before Sandra could talk, Lichita says she is already busy on the Oki Oki and Mas campaigns… and if nothing good can be said about the mattresses, then she is not needed.


Bruno/Braulio tells Brisas that he caught her, she has been sleeping at the agency on the mattresses of the campaign.


Lichita finally is alone with Roberto(or rather he finally got her alone)… she insists angrily that she does not want to be part of the mattresses campaign… she tries to leave but he tries to explain to her that he could not even look at Nacho or anyone in her family straight in the eye… but before Lichita has a response, Luciana comes to take ‘my bf’ away. Lichita tells the audience she needs to find a way to get closer to Alejandro. Luciana tries to get Roberto’s attention after she had asked Lichita to close the door and she didn’t… Roberto whispers through teeth that ‘operacion molusco’ is on.


Brisas is embarrassed with Bruno/Braulio. She has not found anyone to room with. She asks him not to get upset about it. He says he is not upset, but thinks this is an extreme way to live. She says he is right. If she found a roommate… do you know anyone who is alone?... he asks alone or solitary? … she clears up that she needs to find someone to share… he finishes ‘share expenses, right?’


Chuchette finds Magos and some other girls in the makeup room… she rants at them to not lay around.


Roberto keeps the script talking to Luciana as if he was ‘one more employee in Iconika’s payroll’… he asks her what she knows about Alex. Why did he come back? What plans does he have? (Roberto’s tone is funny, lazy as if he was under the influence of Nyquil or alcohol). Luciana does not know much. Roberto says I could be boring at times, but better be getting used to it.


CHuchette is looking at the props jewelry… seems Magos is now selling fancy jewelry and is giving CHuchette a sales pitch… ‘unique for you’.

Roberto tells Luciana that if she wants to work together with him they can go through the mattress campaign and check that it has not grammar errors or typos. Luciana nags about his ‘plan’ for them … he insists he is boring, just ask previous gfs… she says he has not found the right woman to make him roar… (he is even falling asleep). At least promise me we will do something tomorrow… (he drops) she says AAayyyy you look like a ‘molusco’ (sea shell).


At the house, seems Alex is trying to convince Augusto that he is not ready (don’t know enough about advertising) to be at the head of the Lapi campaign. Augusto says what we heard Ana say a lot on MCET (tu tranquilo yo nervioso) and assures him he will have all the support he needs. Alex insists he is not ready. Even calls it ‘nepotism’. Bea even mentions that this is all due to Daphne giving employment to relatives and friends.


Augusto and Luciana keep trying to convince Alejandro. Augusto says its time you were at the head of this family and put MY name very HIGH…


Gumaro shows Roberto what he found out about the other guys in the business cards. Roberto does make a connection (seems he is on to something odd about the businesses of the guys on the business cards.)


Luciana’s dad (can’t remember the name) calls her. He tells her she made him feel real bad with her last call and it hurts him to be distant from her, his princess… HE wants to know how she is doing, heard she got a job at bro’s agency. Luciana says she is doing great. She swears to her dad that she will manage to get her dad and uncle close again… that is why she plans to conquer her cousin Alejandro. He gets alarmed and asks her to be sure that she is going to do it because her heart is telling her to. HE reminds her about the disaster with the Duke. Don’t make the same mistake to go after only the bank account zeroes. Luciana hangs up with her dad and starts wondering how it sounds that her name would be L de Toledo y Mondragon de De Toledo y Mondragon.


Magos is on phone with the guy who got interested in her at the agency. He is smitten (to say the least). Luciana remembers her outings with her friends at Argentina bragging about her engagement ring. She was pretty wasted with her friends saying ‘easy pickins’ (sueltuda) is her second surname. And some other silly stuff.


Later on the Duke came to her parents house to complain because one of the guys she was having fun and getting drunk with had gone with the gossip to the Duke. Duke broke up with her. Duke asked for her ring back. She refused to give it to him.


Luciana then remembers a more recent past when she was at her parents house… says this money (the one she stole from her dad?) and this ring are my passport to leave misery behind. She had to jump out a 2nd story window (her dad heard the ruckus but did not come out) and got hurt…


Back to present time. Luciana gets alarmed, she can’t find her engagement ring!!


At Iconika, Augusto announces at the company that he needs their help to bring Alejandro up to speed on the world of advertising… Alejandro asks everyone to not treat him as the son of the owner, but as another employee. He is smiling a lot to Lichita, something Brisas notices and she lets Lichita know she is on to them.


Luciana’s parents are toasting… seems they are assuming her promise to hook up with Alejandro is a done deal. Mom is surprised to learn that Luciana plans to marry Alejandro.


Lichita asks Brisas if she can imagine how much she would need to change/do to conquer Alejandro. Brisas says Lichita would be a magnet… (we see Roberto looking their way suspiciously). Chuchette is latching to Alejandro… here comes Luciana to split them up… asks CHuchette not to be frivolous (LOL!!! The kettle calling the pot?)


Later Roberto and Luciana are talking about a campaign… of course now she has changed her mind about them being a couple… she stands up a bit sad… she asks him to break up their relationship, she tells him she does not want him to beg (who would??) … he follows her lead… quietly… he says he will respect her decision and wishes she will be happy. Luciana even takes a picture of the ‘novio sufrido’ (devastated bf) and a selfie of the gf of devastated bf… She then leaves, then he is admiring the success of ‘operacion molusco’.


Lichita, Brisas and Magos are talking at the hallway… Brisas encourages Lichita to lasso Alejandro. IF she could do that, then she would be the queen of the agency. Magos says Lichita would need to act very seductively, and change her appearance.


This guy comes by and tells her it is time to fulfill her promise and plants a big one on her just as Alejandro and Roberto come by and get frozen at the scene.


Luciana tells CHuchette she broke up with Roberto ‘he does not combine with my living room window dressings’.


Back to the hallway the guy now kisses Magos…


Roberto and Lichita in his office, he announces to Lichita that he and Luciana are over as a couple… if we were ever a couple… Lichita tells him that she is done with love… won’t let herself be hurt anymore… then she slams her face on the door on her way out…


In the car, Roberto comments with GUmaro the success of ‘operacion molusco’.


Back in the office, Alejandro is trying to spend as much time as possible with LIchita… Luciana comes by and tells him she can teach/show him anything he wants about the advertising business… LIchita says she is telling him some about the campaign… Luciana says she could care less about the campaign… Alejandro asks Luciana ‘is this how serious you take the business?’ Luciana backsteps saying she was kidding…


Roberto is now playing the role of a news reporter interviewing doctors (the doctors in the business cards? Or maybe doctors outside that circle trying to find out the effects of the meds).


Lichita is showing Luciana and Alejandro (Luciana has strategically sat herself right next to him)… Lichita presents the campaign about ‘mi can’ dog food… Luciana stands up, totally undermines Lichita’s idea and shows her own idea which has sexy women… Alejandro is totally sad, even looks away. Luciana asks Alex if there is anything wrong. Lichita also asks him… he leaves, followed by Luciana. Lichita gets close to the tv and asks herself ‘what did he see?’.


Roberto brings back the wallet of the guy who is competing for the custody of Mateo. The guy calls Roberto on his ‘ethics’. Roberto calls him on the dirty deals with the psych hospital… (he got the guy’s attention).





Previews: Lichita is confronted by Luciana about competing for Alejandro. Luciana undermines Lichita’s ability to get the attention of Alex.
