Caray, Caray!

I'm drawing a blank on the title tonight.  It's the pressure of subbing for Eli.  Send her some good work vibes, y'all!

Oh, good grief, Fi…of course Pedro isn't interested in Aitana!  He jokes that he doesn't know who Aitana is. They're back to making plans about when/how to tell everybody.  But Sonia has already headed back inside, so have fun with that, kids.  Aw, we get so many parting kisses.  *sigh*  I'm taking that as a bad sign.

Gael and Gianna are talking about his visit with the psychologist.  And how maybe it's not so weird to tell a total stranger everything about yourself, 'cause he told Gianna a lot of stuff when they'd barely met.  They roll around with each other in the grass, but we are denied any lip action.  Bummerrrrrrrrr!



It's the Benito and Rox show.  He's only the boss of them when they're away from the house, but at the house…gotta keep up appearances, right "gatito" (little servant boy).  Rox's mood is soured by hearing Gael and Gianna's laughter.

He builds suspense around telling her something…important…that he thinks she's really going to like… but not here in the grass, in the horse ring…they go running off, away from Benito and Rox's prying ears.  I don't really care which one of them may or may not be jealous.

Quick cut to school(?) where they continue their spying mission.  I tune them out.  Gael and Gianna walk out of an office with folders.  They are now both enrolled to study medicine and he's paying her tuition.  The family doesn't need to know.

Sonia confronts Fiorella about what she saw.  Sonia tells Fi that she and Pedro have had more than secret kisses…just ask him.

Before yet another family meal can descend into vileness, Julieta's Welcome Home dinner is interrupted by a screaming Anibal.  He tries to assert his rights as Julieta's husband, but there's a table full of people, headed by Sergio, who are ready to defend her.  Eloisa brings up the rear and threatens to call "security."  Anibal says they'll be hearing from his lawyer.  I don't even know which of the last two statements was funnier.

Fi mopes and remembers her conversation with Joaquina.  She pours a little lemon juice on that paper cut, thinking about Pedro and Aitana cooking together.  She salts the whole thing with Sonia's lies about having a thing with Pedro.

In the school caf, Rox and Benito just "happen" to run into Gael and Gianna.  Rox has decided to enroll to study medicine and save the world.  Um…I wouldn't trust her to do the interior decorating of a medical office, much less practice any actual medicine.

Fi tells Pedro what Sonia said.  Pedro remembers waking up with Sonia (the horror!) and Fi asks if he and Sonia are lovers.  "Um…uh…um…I was drunk and…I don't remember…but we didn't…what happened was…she says…."  Yeah, this isn't going over well.  And here Fi was worried about their class differences, but hell, she doesn't deserve a dude who'd sleep with his cousin's wife.  And if he really had, I'd totally back her on that play.

Does anybody care what Rox has to say about her newfound interest in a career in medicine?  Gael eventually drags her away and Benito sits down with Gianna and tries to play the nice guy, but…you kissed Roxana with that mouth.  Take your concerned look and shove it.

Gael and Rox.  Gianna and Benito.  Gael and Gianna are both saying "We're just friends."  But we all know what that means.  "I'm gonna tell grandma!"  Oh, shut up, Rox!  Benito claims to be over Fi.  We all know what THAT means.

Dante tells Eloisa he changed the key to the safe after Anibal's little scene.  Eloisa says that was a great idea!  They've got to keep Fed from finding these papers.  There are secrets in here that it would be very inconvenient for both Eloisa and Dante if they fell into Federica's hands.  So why is she taking them OUT of the safe, I wonder?  Dante tries to justify Fed's behavior and Eloisa agrees it's perfectly natural for her to want to find out what happened to her dad…but inconvenient.  She warns him to stop feeling sorry for Fed.

Gianna comes home with her good news.  She's about to start talking about Rox, but she notices Fi is crying.  Fiorella thinks Pedro is Sonia's lover.  And here she was going to ditch skeevy Vito for him!  She thinks this is a sign that she needs to marry Vito.  Does anybody want to contribute money to hire a skywriter?  'Cause if it's a sign she wants, we can totally get her a sign that says "DON'T MARRY THE SKEEVY DUDE!"

Fi's still teary in the kitchen later.  Joaquina's a little too smug for my taste, saying Fi figured out Pedro isn't "for" her, right?  Fi doesn't tell her about Sonia.  Joaquina says she won't push her, but yeah, Fi's better off without him.  Love with the boss is…impossible.

Fi calls Vito, but he's having a hard time sweet-talking with Diana standing right there.  Fi asks if he bought her wedding dress like he was planning to.  More verbal fumbling as Diana sits in his lap and starts doing illicit things to the ear that's not on the phone.  Vito offers to take her to see the designer tomorrow.  Then he scolds Diana.

Pedro confronts Sonia, but Osvaldo shows up and everybody pretends it was nothing.  Sonia makes pointed remarks about Pedro's drinking lately.  Osvaldo would just love for Pedro to have a drinking problem…he'll be watching him.

Pedro tries to talk to Fi.  He begs for a chance to tell her the truth and then he'll never bother her again.  Fi needs to see Eloisa first.

Gianna is suddenly not looking forward to going to classes with Rox, but Gael points out that it's not likely Rox will actually show up for class.  Joaquina overhears them talking and she's thrilled to hear that Rox is going to school.  She hopes Gael and Gianna will rub off on her.  Oh, good luck with that.

Fi and Eloisa watch a movie and Fi cries.  She blames it on the movie.  Some couple did so much cooking for their wedding feast and nobody showed up.  Eloisa acts like she's explaining to a small child, "It's just a movie.  It's fiction.  Make-believe."  Well, yeah, I know it's "just a show."  Damn, Eloisa!  Can't a girl have whatever feelings she's having without you being all snotty about it?  Oh…sorry…she was talking to Fi.  Uh, anyway, since Eloisa can't fathom getting all teary-eyed over a movie she figures there must be some other reason.  The reason himself walks in, but Eloisa doesn't recognize him as such.  Fi says her dad always used to put on Mexican movies and she got nostalgic is all.  Pedro: "Not all love stories have to be full of drama.  Some of them can be simple and happy." Seriously, Pedro?  Eloisa: "Yes, simple.  Like yours with Aitana.  I don't know why you're stalling.  You're made for each other!"  Fi: "Maybe Señor Pietro has another love?"  Eloisa: "Oh, my grandson would tell me, wouldn't he?"  Fi: "My dad told me that the guys in movies and the ones in real life are the same.  Traitorous and full of mystery."  Seriously, Mario?  Eloisa agrees…except that her Pedro's totally "transparente," (obvious) right?  But he's not see-thru, so he needs to get out from in front of the screen so they can finish watching their movie!  Eloisa thinks the movie is upsetting Fi because of her upcoming marriage with Vito.  Even she thinks Fi should dump him rather than making a huge mistake.

Fed is starting to doubt Dante's loyalty.  He swears he'll never betray her because he loves her.  Blech!

Aitana finds Pedro outside.  He apologizes for taking off earlier for his "work" call.  She decides to show him the engagement ring he gave her.  She just happened to find it.  She had apparently tossed it, but she found it later.  She finally apologizes for what happened the day she broke off their engagement.  She thought it would be like a romantic movie and she'd throw her tantrum and he'd come running after her. Except that he didn't.  She begs him to remember what he said the day he gave her the ring, but he says he can't remember.  He remembers being nervous and his hands sweating and telling her that he'd had a unique ring made for a unique woman.  She keeps prompting him and he remembers saying he thought the only thing between them was a beautiful friendship, but with time, he got to know her and he realized she was "the one" and they could be happy together and their families would be happy and did she want to marry him.  Predictably, Fi heard just enough to make her think he's proposing rather than remembering.  Pedro gives her back the ring and says that's all in the past.  At the time, yes, she was the right woman for him, but they've moved on since then.  They can't go back to the way things were.  He says he appreciates her, but he doesn't feel what he did before and he won't be able to feel that again.  Hey, she was wearing jeans!  That look went much better with the hair.

Fi was apparently skulking around because she was supposed to be meeting Pedro, which makes his very verbal walk down Memory Lane all the more stupid.  Once Fi gets back to the house, Benito is there to be nosy…I mean, to console her.  Fi swears she's not crying because of Pedro…or Vittorio, though she cries even harder when she says so.  Benito tries to talk her out of marrying Vito.  If she doesn't marry for love, she'll regret it the rest of her life.  Or, you know, the rest of Vito's life.  Yeah, I said it.  I'm going to hell.

Osvaldo and Sonia enjoy a romantic dinner.  Osvaldo remembers some previous date where Sonia sung her heart out to him.  I swear, I recognize this song, but they're not giving me enough to place it!  That's going to bother me.  Sonia says she can't believe she didn't faint while she was singing.  Got it!  It's Laura Pausini, "Quiero Decirte Que Te Amo"…and now I must listen to the whole song.  Talk amongst yourselves.  I love you…you're mine…I'd never trade you for anyone else…you are my only truth...never let me go…. Wow, that's romantic and all, but I can't imagine Os and Sonia ever actually feeling this way about each other.  And if Sonia really meant it when she sang it then I feel sorry for her again.  They're both waxing rhapsodic about what was apparently their first date, and Sonia said it was love at first sight, but Osvaldo's look turns sour.  She ruined it all by getting pregnant.  Excuse me, dude, but I'm pretty sure that's a 2-person job.  And if it's your genetic material that did it this time around, you're going to be telling your child one hell of a crappy "How you were conceived" story.  So shut it, Os!

Joaquina tries to be affectionate with Rox, calling her "mi niña" (my girl, my little girl) like she used to when Rox was little.  She's so happy about Rox going back to school.  Rox is all "whatever."  She's an Angeles.  Joaquina hopes Rox doesn't throw away this opportunity and makes some kind of effort.  Being an Angeles and all.

Pedro visits Fi's bedroom to find out why she didn't meet him in the garden.  Fi asks if Aitana liked her ring. Pedro explains, but Fi doesn't want to hear it.  Any of it.  The look on his face when she asked him about Sonia is enough for her.  She throws the old dicho about "los caballeros no tienen memoria" ("gentlemen have no memory"; a gentleman doesn't kiss and tell) in his face, but Pedro swears he seriously doesn't remember!  Because he got drunk thinking he and Fi would never be together, and when he woke up--there was Sonia!  Fi is done.  She tells him to forget about her.  She's going to leave and he'll never see her again.  "If you never want to see me again, I'll stay away from you.  If that's what you want.  Hate me.  But don't marry someone you don't love!  Don't make that mistake!"  Fi's not in the mood for the advice of Señor Pietro Angeles.

Gael announces his triumphant return to med school.  Rox piggybacks, but everybody laughs at her.  She swears she'll show them she can be more than just settling for being an Angeles.  Gael also tells them he got a scholarship for Gianna.  Rox swears she heard there weren't any scholarships available.  Fi drops off Eloisa's planner…on her way to the appointment with her wedding dress designer.  Once again, Pedro and Sonia are hot on her heels.  (I missed a bit here when the show ran over and my DVR changed programs.)  Fed (I like today's hat) snarks about Gael and Rox not being able to work anymore if they're going to school.  They worked?  Just saying.  Actually, Gael says he can handle his courseload along with work.  As long as Rox is out of the house most of the day, it's all the same to Eloisa.  Fed asks if she can work instead of Rox and everybody laughs.  Fed asks Pedro if she can have Rox's job or not and he agrees.  Eloisa jokes that maybe now Fed will find a boyfriend.

Speaking of Fed and boyfriends (barf!), she tells Dante this is part of her plan to gather information.  She kisses him giddily and for whatever reason, Fiorella hasn't left yet and sees them.  And they see her, seeing them.  Fed blames it on Dante, but she clearly was the one doing the snogging.

Pedro sees Sonia in the foyer and asks her why she said what she did to Fi.  Sonia insists it happened.  And she has proof.  She's pregnant.  Well, that didn't take long.
