Caray, Caray!

On this Black Friday, I'm not looking for good deals on Smart TV's, iPad's, or a PS4. No sirree, I'm looking for a great deal on personalized toilet paper. It's on my Christmas wish list. *This recapper runs to Walmart and fights the crowd to get the best deal* 

Shall we begin... 

Julia and Artie's lips are at close range. They are about to smooch like they haven't smooched in a loooong time, when Gabriela walks into the room (without the knocking on the door!) and interrupts them. At that moment when Gabriela walks into the room Julia jumps back, startled. Gabriela apologizes for her lack of manners and tells her aunt that Franky (Franco) is on his way over there. Gabriela leaves. Julia tells Artie that it would best if he skedaddles out of there, but Artie wants to know what she wanted to ask him, and she tells him that she'll tell him another day. Artie leaves and Julia is left alone to absorb what has just occurred. 

Erick, the sleazeball, acts nice with Consuelo. He sniffs Consuelo's perfume, and tells her, that he loves the smell. He makes her believe that he's interested in fixing their relationship and even suggests taking couples therapy. At first, Consuelo doesn't know how she should behave around him or even if she should believe in him, but at the mention of couples therapy, she melts and is touched that he'd be willing to go along with the couples therapy, for her. When she leaves the room, the sleazeball shows his true face, and texts The Ratt, telling her that he's about to go and see something about a business deal that will leave him with enough dough to have her as queen. 

Franky walks into his madrina's office and tells her that his padrino sent him over there to see if she needed anything. Julia isn't amused AT ALL that Eladio has already started to spy on her. She dismisses Franky, rather rudely, but rightfully so. Franky leaves. Now alone with Gabriela, Julia thanks her niece for alerting her of Franky's visit. Gabriela asks her aunt if Artie will have the DNA test done. Julia explains that she didn't even get a chance to ask him to get it done, because the two started talking, and he admitted that he still felt something for her. And by having Artie so close, she realized that she has never stopped loving him. She admits that she should have never seen Artie, because now that love, has been reborn with a much stronger force.

Oh, lookie there, the wedding gifts have started to arrive. And Regina, isn't happy AT ALL. In fact, she's angry, so angry that she even kicks one of the gifts so hard that it goes sliding across the floor. Regina calls Josh Man and summons him to the Montenegro residence ASAP. Nina appears, wondering what has Regina's panties in a bunch. Regina asks her mother if she cancelled the wedding. Nina admits that she didn't cancel anything, because she thought it would be best for Regina to think things through. Unbeknownst to Nina, Artie has arrived in time to overhear that she hasn't cancelled the wedding like he had asked her to, and he lets her have it- accusing her of not taking care of anyone, but herself.  Then we enter the "oh no he didn't!" moment of the night, when Artie tells Nina to her, that he doesn't understand how he could have married HER. 

Gabriela finds it incredible that Julia hasn't been able to forget Artie, despite the pass of time. In the "duh!" moment of the night, Julia believes that Artie is the reason, why she never loved Eladio. (Well, the fact that he treats her so badly, probably had something to do with it also, just saying.) Julia confides in Gabriela the mistake she made when she married Eladio- she tells Gabriela that she married Eladio to get back at Artie (for cheating on her) and out of spite and she did it knowing very well that he was Artie's worst enemy. Julia knows that a relationship with Artie is out of the question, since they both happen to be married. Gabriela wonders what Eladio would do if he found out (that Artie and Julia saw each other- I guess). Julia thinks that Eladio would be capable of killing her, but Gabriela doesn't really think Eladio would go there. Still, she thinks Julia should be careful and try and erase Artie from her mind. Oh, but Julia can't do that, because for a moment there, Artie made her feel as if she were a teen on her very first date. Why she even forgot all that she had suffered with Eladio. Julia tells Gabriela not to worry- she knows very well that knowing will happen between her and Artie and she knows that she can't leave Eladio. She knows that she has to think about the consequences and that she has to think about her son. Gabriela asks her if she'll see Artie so she can ask him to get the DNA test. Well, after what he made her feel, Julia doesn't know if she would dare to be close to him yet again. 

Artie now has his undies in a bunch and he really lets Nina have it. Oh, he's angry that she doesn't pay any attention to her children. Well, she reminds him, (and she makes a good point here) that they are HIS kids as well. He says that he promises that things would change, and he's been keeping his word, but he can't split himself in four, he's not Spongebob Squarepants. He tells her that it's assumed that she'd be in charge of the what happens in the family. Nina can't believe that after so many years of marriage, here he comes accusing her of doing everything wrong. He tells her that the problem is that she does NOTHING. Now Daniela shows up, and in the "stupid question" moment of the night, she asks her parents if they are arguing (Ummm.. they are yelling .. so yeah they are arguing!). Nina whines that Artie is all of a sudden upset with everything that she does. Artie shows his discontent for Nina failing to cancel the wedding knowing what Joshua did with Regina and Daniela. Daniela acts surprised that her mother didn't cancel the wedding, but Regina knows that Daniela is somehow involved. At that moment, Petra shows up, with the newest addition to the wedding gifts. Petra is all excited with the gift but gets dismissed by Nina. Now Nina wants know why all of a sudden everything she does bothers Artie. He tells her that up until now he didn't see his reality- he got married wanting to have a family, but he can see that his wife still acts as if she's living the single life. His kids have no rules. Again, Nina makes a point by telling him that he also had the responsibility to educate his kids. Artie, at least, accepts that he's part to blame and says that he's trying to make amends despite it being a wee bit too late. He tells her that the problem is that she doesn't help him and he's tired and overwhelmed of everything going on- they are family out of control without any responsibility and obligations. He leaves the room in a huff. Nina lays the blame of the argument on Regina. Regina tells her mother that she's to blame- and says that for sure Daniela had something to do with the wedding invitations. Daniela denies and leaves. Nina makes it clear to Regina that she'd either stop the nonsense and putting her dad against her or else. Nina leaves. Regina is left alone and she decides to take out her anger on the gits. She tosses them around the room and one lands right in front of the Josh Man who arrives at that moment. Regina lets him have it for sending out the wedding invitations when he knew very well that they weren't getting married.

David and Francisco meet for coffee. David tells Francisco that he wants to get to Queretaro already so he can work and keep his mind occupied. Francisco wonders if David will be able to work alongside Regina. David claims that he won't mix the personal with business. Francisco isn't so sure about that. David gets a call and is told that he has to work on some modifications pronto- and guess what? He has to work on those modifications with none other than Regina. 

Artie and Agustin talk about girls. Artie tells Agustin that Julia hasn't been happy in her marriage with Eladio. Oh, and she married Eladio, loving him- Artie. Artie admits that despite it hurting him, he was at least satisfied thinking that Julia was happy with Eladio. Agustin spells it out for Artie- it's one thing that Julia isn't happy in her marriage and another that she's going to do something about it, and another thing that Artie can do something for Julia. Artie believes that he can do something for Julia- he can make Eladio pay for Julia's suffering by destroying him. 

Regina really lets the Josh Man have it. And you almost feel some sympathy for him, but then you remember that he's an idiot, so it passes. He lies and tells her that he sent out the wedding invitations before she left for Queretaro. He thought that her anger would pass and that she'd change her mind. He admits that it was Daniela would put the idea in his head, that all she (Regina) needed was a little push. Regina knew that Daniela was somehow involved in this whole fiasco, and and calls out Joshua out on being such an imbecile and only screwing one thing after another up ever since they broke up. She tells him that he'll have to let everyone know that the wedding off. He tries to use the "but what will everyone say" card, but she doesn't care what others think. She kicks him out and then calls up the wedding planner and informs him that the wedding is off.

Agustin thinks that Artie is nuts- it's one thing to want to beat Eladio in business and another to want to beat him for Julia. Artie asks him if he wouldn't do the same for the woman he loves. Agustin doesn't answer this question. Instead, he tells Artie that the only woman he should think of is his wife. Well, Artie has realized that Nina... Agustin interrupts and says- oh, so now Artie sees Nina flaws. He reminds Artie that Nina is the same woman she was back when he married her. Artie denies it and also denies that he now is seeing Nina with different eyes- when Agustin suggests that, that is the case. Artie doesn't think that Agustin understands him- he admits that all this time he has felt that something was missing and that it was like being in a abyss and that the only thing that got him out of that abyss was Julia's memory. Her kisses, her looks, the way of reflecting himself in her eyes, was like a rainbow of tranquility. Agustin asks- what about Nina. Artie says that Nina is a good woman, and in the "TMI moment" of the night, he lets his best pal know that he and Nina make a good couple under the sheets, but outside the sheets, they really have nothing in common. Agustin reminds him that he has a family with Nina. Agustin tells Artie that Julia won't get divorced for him. Changing the subject a little, Agustin asks Artie what Julia wanted. Artie replies that Julia didn't tell him because they were interrupted. Artie wants to see Julia again and he needs Agustin to help him. Agustin doesn't want to get involved. Artie starts to talk about what he felt when he was with Julia- he felt like he was a teen again. (Oy vey, stop it Artie. Stop it.)

Petra shows Regina the newest wedding gifts additions. Regina asks Petra not to receive any new wedding gifts and to inform everyone that the wedding is off. Regina wants the chauffeur to return all the gifts. Petra asks- even the toilet paper with your names. Regina says- toilet paper?! Daniela then shows up smiling. Regina calls her out on being involved with the wedding invitations being sent out. Daniela says that she just made a remark to Josh Man and that it's not her fault that he took it so seriously. Regina blames her for causing all of this and she's about to tell her that David thinks that they were in cahoots for... but she gets a phone call and leaves without telling Daniela more.

Erick's business meeting. Erick meets up with two corrupt businessmen that want Erick to help them make Artie lose the construction bidding for a highway and thus help their own construction company get the bidding. If Erick does that, then he'll receive some good money in exchange. Erick isn't so sure, he thought the whole business would be easier. It doesn't seem like he's worried about betraying his father, he just doesn't want his father to know that he was involved. One of the corrupt businessmen assures him that it won't happen- it'll all stay between the three of them, which in is telenovela code for "someone will find it". Erick says that he has to think about it. The other businessmen tells Erick not to take too long thinking about it, because they need a response tomorrow. Erick agrees to giving them a response tomorrow. The corrupt businessmen leave. He gets a phone call from The Ratt. The Ratt wants to know if he made the business deal, and Erick tells her that he had his first meeting with the businessmen. The Ratt doesn't want Erick to let too much time pass or else he could lose the business. Erick says that they have to do things right. The Ratt reminds him that the business deal has to do with him making a lot of money. Erick knows, but says that he has to be discreet, so that he doesn't have problems with his dad. The Ratt says- that once he becomes auto sufficient, then Artie's opinion shouldn't matter to him. Erick says that he can break ties with his dad all of a sudden. The Ratt tells him that she doesn't want to be at Eladio's expense. Erick tells her that he got an advance. The Ratt likes what she hears and tells him to come on over to see if she will give him the "reward" that he deserves, which is telenovela code for "nookie".

Petra tells Nina that Artie has arrived. Petra leaves. Artie comes into the room. Nina asks- if he has something else to tell her off her about. Artie apologizes and says that he was stressed. She tells him that she was hurt by his words about him regretting marrying her because she loves him. But not even because of that will she pressure him to be by her side. He asks- what does she mean. She tells him- that it's easy, if he doesn't love her then he should tell her. If all these years together and the family that we have formed isn't enough and you don't realize that we have a lot to be grateful for. She says that she understands that she's not fifteen anymore and that maybe there is someone else with less years, (and with less lipstick), that he's interested in. Artie tells her not to say that- the Daniela thing upset him. Nina says- do you think that I'm not worried. Artie asks Nina to take care of Daniela. He doesn't want Daniela to get into any more problems and doesn't want her to argue with Regina anymore because they are sisters. Nina wants him to help her then. Artie wants her do something because he's always working and she's in charge of the family. She once again makes a valid point, when she tells him that when someone is a father, working is not everything, and that he has to be present. She tells him that he has to be there. 

In the "childish couple" moment of the night, Regina and David meet to talk about work. But before they get down to work, Regina let's him know that the whole wedding invitation fiasco was Joshua's doing because Daniela asked him to do it. She makes it clear to him SHE'S NOT GETTING MARRIED and that his behavior in the morning only confirmed that they can't be together ever because there will always be something separting them. (Yeah, like their own foolishness, stubbornness, and childlike behavior) Well, David isn't so sure if he can believe her and she basically tells him to go ahead and believe what he wants. They decide to get to work.

Daniela is all set to go out, but wait a minute, Artie reminds her that she's grounded. Daniel stomps her foot and thinks it's unfair, but Artie tells her it's for her own good. He leaves because he has to work and Daniela thinks her dad's nuts. Nina gives her the "I'll take care of it" signal. 

More Regina and David acting like children- this time in front of the waiter. Regina lets the waiter know that she and David are not a couple and will never be one. David adds- becasue I'm honest, unlike some people. Waiter leaves. Regina tells David to get work. He tells her that he's working. Regina doesn't think it's necessary for them to get together- they could work in their own space and keep in contact via the internet. David likes the idea- that way he won't have to see her face. 

Nina tells Daniela that she'll see what she can do about her grounding. Oh well- Daniela prefers being grounded than having to go to rehab. She's about to go up to her prison- her room. But Nina wants to speak to her about why she told the Josh Man to send out the invitations. Nina thinks Daniela should have told her what she was about to do so they could have planned it better. She tells her daughter- that if she's going to do something bad then at least do it right. Nina says that it affected her and that it is keeping her further apart from her dad. She whines that Artie is still treating her with indifference and she knows something is up. 

Erick visits The Ratt. He tells her that the business will bring him a lot of money, but he has to go slow. For now he will he leave her a check so she can go get something pretty. The Ratt takes one look of the check- but it's not enough for her to shop till she drops at Victoria's Secret. He tells her that he can't get rich so fast. The Ratt uses her charms on him- and ask how long she'll have to wait to be with him like she has always wanted. He tells her to give him a few months. She hopes the client will give him what he deserves. He assures her that will be the case- and to trust him. He doesn't want to talk about business anymore, unless it has to do with them getting down to business, with smooches, and more, but thankfully we are spared having to witness the "more" part. 

Oh snap. Consuelo still wants Miguel to get the dirt on Erick. And she'll help him get into Erick's computer by obtaining his password. (Who else thinks the password is - The Ratt?) Miguel asks her if she is sure about getting the dirt. Oh, she's sure alright, and more than ever. She can't continue on being with those doubts. Miguel leaves for work and tells her to let him know when she gets her hands on the password. He leaves. Consuelo checks the calendar on her phone. 

Artie talks with Daniela. He doesn't want her and Regina to fight anymore. Daniela lays the blame on Regina, but Artie knows Daniela provokes Regina. Daniela thinks that Regina is Artie's favorite, but he tells her that he loves all four of his kids the same, and he'd give his life for them. That's why it hurts him that they don't get along because they are a family, and a team. He doesn't want Daniela to forget that Regina is her sister and that she'll always be a part of her life. Instead of hating her she should be close to her and love and respect her. He asks her if she'll able to do that. She says- yes. Artie leaves. 

Franky and Gabriela arrive at the same restaurant where David and Regina are. David spots them and he immediately dives under the table. We hear Franky and Gabriela talk. Franky doesn't like how his madrina treated him. Franky wants to find out how David knew about Eladio and Artie's fight. They walk further into the restaurant and Regina notices that David is hiding from Gabriela and Franky. 

Julia arrives home. Eladio asks her if she went out. She tells him that she's coming from the foundation and that if he doesn't believe her- well he could go and ask his spies, starting with Franky. Eladio tells her that she's the only one to blame for things going back to how they were before. Julia calls him out on getting her dad involved- the old goat already called her and asked her to be more understanding of her husband. She calls Eladio out of going to her dad to let him know that she doesn't want him (Eladio) in her bed. He tells her that if he loses his patience- then he'll order it. She tells him that it's over- she's not going to put up with him anymore. He grabs her by the arm and wants to know what's wrong with her- has she lost it. She then says the "D" word, yes that's right, she tells him that she wants a DIVORCE. 

Daniela heads outside and Petra reminds her that she can't leave becasue she's grounded. Fine, Daniela won't leave, but she'll stick around outside to get fresh air. Daniela starts looking up her photos with David and admits that she has the hots for him. She kisses one of the photos. And at the end of the scene she gets a smirk on her face as if she's planning something that can't be good. 

Eladio laughs- hahahaha. He can't believe that she's asking him that. Julia tells him that she wants her freedom. He thinks she's crazy, it'll never happen. He tells her that she's nothing without him and that she wouldn't be able to survive. Especially her dad, he wouldn't survive either, and I'm not seeing the dad not surviving as a bad thing (Does that make me a bad person?). He tells her that if she has someone else then despite loving her so much then he'd have to kill her if he can't have her. 

Gabriela notices Regina at the restaurant. She tells Franky about the scene Regina made at the hospital. Franky says all Montenegro's are the same. 

Regina calls David out on his hiding under the table. David claims he was looking for a screw coming loose from his watch. Regina smells the BS and knows that the gal over- Gabriela- was at the hospital with him. Regina says- you see how it would be impossible to be together. David says- it's not that. She decides to leave telling him that they'll keep in contact via the internet. 

Eladio asks Julia if there's someone else. She tells him no. But he doesn't know how much she wishes that she could give him a taste of his own medicine but she's not a cheater like him. He calls her out on going on about the same thing and not wanting to resolve things between them. She tells him that if only he would have understood her a little and especially if he wouldn't have doubted that David was his son then none of this would be happening. He asks her not to play victim and says that it also hasn't be easy for him to be married to someone who doesn't love him back. He tells her that he can't stand that he loves her and that she doesn't correspond. She tells him that she tried- but he always hurts her where it hurts her the most- her son. She wants a divorce but he tells her that it won't ever happen. He can't divorce her because he loves her. He tells her that they'll be together until death do them part and thinks that she loves him in her own way. He says that, he realized that, the day they made love. He asks her if it's true and invades her space. She rejects him. He leaves to go upstairs. 

Regina runs into Josh Man after leaving the restaurant. Josh Man whines that his folks are shipping him off to Saskatchewan, someplace out of Mexico, where he'll have no fun, and it's all Regina's fault. She ruined his life! Regina tells him to grow up. He puts his grubby hands on her arms and David sees this. He leaves on his motorcyle. Regina notices David. She leaves.

A shirtless Erick talks to someone on the phone and wants more info about a construction company- I guess it's the one belonging to the corrupt businessmen he met with earlier. The Ratt, wearing Erick's shirt, asks Erick if he's working. Erick says that he is- and that he has to leave. The Ratt wants Erick to ask for more millions than what they offer him- because he's worth that. (The Patio begs to differ) She gets all kissy with him and he tells her to stop or else he won't make it to his meeting. He asks for his shirt back, puts it on, and leaves. The Ratt gets dressed. Aldo arrives and wants the scoop. The Ratt hopes that it's true that Erick will make a ton of money. She tells Aldo about Erick bringing home a check for tres pesos- can Aldo believe that. No, Aldo, can't believe it. Aldo is someone else, beside The Ratt herself, that thinks The Ratt deserves to be treated like The Ratt Queen. The Ratt agrees that she deserves to be treated like a queen and says that she won't stay with Erick, despite loving him, if he can't financially support her, like she wants him to. 

Eladio sprays whatever that thing is he sprays in his mouth. Julia comes into the room and she tells him that she doesn't understand why he wants to be together if their marriage doesn't work. He tells her that he does it because he doesn't want to lose the opportunity to keep things well with her and David. He promised her and he owes it to David. He hopes that her anger passes and he tells her that he'll keep on doing what he promised. He says that this time there won't be doubts and that he'll talk to their son and get closer to him. Julia hopes so- but makes it clear to him that he won't touch her even again- and if he wants to get back together with his Ratt, then she has no problem with it.
