Caray, Caray!

Fi witnessed Vito and Diana's spit swapping, but never mentioned it again.  In fact, it's Diana who later threatens to expose Fi for a gold digging liar.

Sergio witnessed Belinda's birthday suit, and while she's right, he is eeeeeasy and never turns down a woman's advances…there's a first time for everything.  Take a hike, Belinda.

Vitto continues his relentless campaign to control EVERYTHING and vows to pay for both Gianna's tuition and find her a new doctor.  To this end, he and Fi visit Pedro's office to tell him so.  They behave like small children fighting over a toy (i.e., Fi).  Fi even says as much.  And tells them this isn't about who has the bigger…bank account.  And it STILL doesn't get her to call things off.



Gianna sees the aftermath of the fistfight on Gael and Benito's faces, and she's no fool.  They didn't both fall off the same horse.   Except, she kind of is a fool.  She immediately believes Benito's story about Gael  getting it on in full view of his entire class, PLUS the professor.  Anel, the classmate, finds it funny for about a second, but she cares not one bit for Gianna's apology after mistakenly calling her a ho.  Gi and Gael make up, but then rather quickly break up as Gael blames Benito's behavior on his class.  Gianna tells him he sounds like an Angeles…BURN!...and runs off.

Vitto takes Fi to the church where they're going to be married.  He does NOT burst into flames.  I'm amazed the priest agrees to hear Fi's confession without Vitto present.  While I don't entirely blame her for not confiding in him, no, Fi, this entire situation is not adequately described with "Padre, I've committed the sin of gluttony.  I have a weakness for…pastries…and when I see a …pastry…even though I know it's someone else's, I can't resist eating the…pastry…and then I get angry at myself for giving in and eating someone's…pastry."  The Padre's as skilled at not listening and creatively interpreting events as Vitto is.  Instead of asking her QTH she's talking about with "pastry," and telling her to get outta here with that nonsense 'cause confession is serious business…he tells her she and Vitto have obviously worked so hard at being together and overcome so many obstacles and it's lovely to see a couple so in love and why don't you just hang out in the confessional booth alone and do some praying to San Biagio while I arrange the rest of your wedding with your hubby, 'k?  I'm sure San Biagio's a nice guy, but is anyone else feeling the need for some tough love from the Virgen de Guadalupe?

Vague work shenanigans: Pedro decides to go home. He leaves Aitana in charge of copying some documents and passing them along to Os.  Fed witnesses her going into Pedro's super seekrit file cabinet, pulling out some other random piece of paperwork, and adding it to the documents in the folder.  They hang out in Pedro's office, chatting, until his secretary finally comes in to throw them out and lock up.

Neither Fi nor Gi are thrilled with the idea of changing doctors, but Vitto dangles the possibility of a cure in front of them, and suddenly it's Dr. Elizalde, who?  This new doctor, Dr. Izquierdo, is a world-renowned expert in the thing Gianna has that we never talk about by name.  Such an expert, in fact, that Vitto's going to have him check out Fi as well, so they can make sure their future offspring aren't going to have the same unnamed malady Gianna does.  That was gross on so many levels.

Dante is Mr. Moneybags today.  He hands Vinicio's daughter a fat wad of cash to move her comatose dad to Puebla to be nearer his brother.  Fed lurks awkwardly outside just to make sure we see her seeing the hand-off.  Then he visits some guy who claims to have the name of Vinicio's mistress, and while he also hands THAT guy a fat wad of cash (just how much cash can you fit in a wallet anyway?) the guy demands…I kid you not…a game console, 10 games, and 4 controllers.  It's his hobby, you see.

Anel, Gael's CPR partner, accompanies him to the orphanage.  She used to work with HIV-positive kids in Africa and it's how she got interested in medicine.  She invites him to a charity event for kids with cancer and he agrees to go.  Later, he gets together with Gianna at a café and they make up…again.  And then, while he's in the restroom, she sees a text message from Anel on his phone with the address of the charity shindig.

Benito's little bit of drama-stirring earns him a shopping trip with Roxana.  Really, it's just a ploy so the actor can show off his underwear yet again.  Rox is tired of the suits, and while Bennie looks good in just about everything, she ultimately decides that what he looks best in is tight, distressed jeans, and a tight shirt with a disturbing lack of buttons above the navel.  Whatever.  The lack of buttons comes in handy later, when he takes her to a random shack in a park and tries to turn it into their little love nest.  It's all going fine until Rox has a blue-tinged fantasy of hanging out with her girlfriends (including Aitana who REALLY looks way too old for that sort of thing) and telling them that her first time (yep, you read that correctly) was so much better than she ever could have imagined and it was with…her chauffeur.  She fakes a stomachache and asks Benito to take her home.

Once again Alina succumbs to the dubious charms of Os.  I'm not going to explain that further.  We alllll know what it means.  Sonia stops by Alina's office and gets an eyeful.  And a cell-phone full.  She's showing off her mad photography skillz to Belinda later when Pedro comes home.  And then she suffers some serious abdominal cramping and has to be taken to the hospital.  To bad Os can't be reached because he's still busy on Alina's couch.  When he finally bothers to show up, he blames it on Sonia's insistence on working…"just like last time."  Pedro tells him it was the DNA test.  "Well, if she'd been faithful, I wouldn't have needed one."  He blames Sonia for "killing" his baby and claims the right to make as big a scene as he wants to because it's HIS wife and HIS baby.  Pedro shuts him up with "It's MY baby."
