Caray, Caray!

There was actually a lot of rehash last night and I'm skipping it.

Alicia goes to the orphanage to take Mateo a present. They won't let her see him, but they will let her talk to the social worker, Venus. Venus sees her from afar and ducks out - later telling Roberto that Alicia would have recognized her and a whole scandal would have broken out. She reminds him he promised to come clean to everybody every soon and says Mateo's been much more volatile since he started having memories of his mother.

Mateo loves Alicia's present and is delighted she remembered him.

Luckily for Roberto, Marta loses it completely in the courtroom, screaming and saying that Mateo is her Angelito and should be with her. Roberto kindly says the trial should be postponed till she feels better. Turns out this is the third anniversary of her Angelito's death from cancer. Sobbing, she's folded into the car by her sweet but ineffectual husband. She sees Beto talking to his lawyer and bolts to run across the road and almost get run over but is saved by Beto. She starts confusing Beto with God and says, "I begged you to take me instead of him." Shiver.

Roberto and Alicia continue to sulk about their respective upcoming weddings, which due to clerical error are going to happen at the same church on the same day.

The API guys are pleased with Alex and say he's ahead in the voting and his wedding will push him over the top and they wish him "a marriage as good as your parents' is." Eye roll.

There is a big dinner at the mansion. Roberto tries to beg off, Luciana says, "I pretend like the others but I'm worried, I never see you." He shows up after all, with a ring, she makes him get down on his knee, he looks like he's really making an effort to think this could work out. Luciana shows it to everybody. Alicia: "It's almost as lovely as the one you stole from the Duke." Luciana crows about her dress, which is nicer than Angeline Jolie's. Bea says she and Elsa will go with Alicia next day to get her a dress.

Magos is pushing Ximena down the sidewalk in her wheelchair when the gangster supplier appears, offers more merchandise to sell, and gratuitously makes a point of telling Ximena "your mother is a pirate." Magos says she's out of the game. "Your loss," he says and leaves. Magos lies, saying, "he's a liar," but Ximena says: "You think I know nothing? I know your friend Gerry got fired for selling pirated goods and now it turns out it was your fault and he took the fall for you." She chants "I have a mother who's a pirate" all the way home.

The cafe is doing well financially. Elsa and Nacho think Magos will help them more once Ximena recuperates, but Magos says she was thinking of studying something, Alicia had offered to pay. Nacho thinks she'll take the money and skip the studying.

The first commercial for Oki Oki is enthusiastically approved by the client. Alicia and Roberto have their usual fight about who is doing what por interes - to advance careers etc.

After being kissy with Sandra at the office, Augusto goes to some hotel and has sex with Chuchette, who notices the lipstick on his collar and knows he didn't get it at home, but she doesn't care much. She seems to be spying for him a bit and says that Roberto had been pretending to be in love with Alicia. This interests him for some Machiavellian reason.

Bachelor and bachelorette parties are being organized. There will be dirty games.

Rafael tells Valeria they have a pretty serious offer for the house, they'll pack up and move to San Miguel. Don Augusto has his henchman call the Buenos Aires real estate agent, he wants to buy Rafael's mansion.

Lastly, after yet another shouting convo with Beto moaning about how he's giving up the love of his life, Gumaro later takes off in his wheelchair to visit Nacho and Elsa at their cafe. To be continued!

Tonight: poor Ez will get a lot of bridal shop to recap I think.
