Caray, Caray!

• Julieta keeps choking the life out of Paulina as Nuria watches on like it’s a boxing match. Karen grabs Julieta and pulls her off Paulina. As Chelo helps Paulina, Karen and Michaela kick Julieta (out instead of restraining her and calling the police) and go see if Paulina is okay. Paulina wants no one to know about the attack, as it will only add fuel to the fire. (The fire’s already been lit though, might as well stroke it when it matters).

• Gonzalo tells Ines that Monica wanted a recommendation letter and Ines says he should rehire her (Oh Ines, if you only knew). Gonzalo doesn’t think it’s a good idea (I wonder if that’s why he let her go in the first place).

• Elisa, Monica’s mom, wants Monica to tell everyone the truth. Monica thinks it’s a dumb idea since she’d be outed as a mistress and she’d lose Gonzalo. Monica, who has her head in the clouds, wants Gonzalo to leave his wife out of love for her but Elisa warns her not to end up like her (another juicy secret). Monica tells her she just wants Gonzalo, not his money.

• Alfonso shows Camilo his new office in the financial department. He tells him he’ll introduce him to his co-worker, Leonel later as he’s out taking a class. (Fresh out of college and already the boss of someone who has been there for years? Camilo that spells trouble). They also talk about how him and Paulina graduated with honors and now they’ll be working together in adjacent offices, he can romance her again.

• Karen, badass as she is, says they should call the cops if they see Julieta again. Everyone agrees and her and Paulina go to cover up the handprints on Paulina’s neck with makeup. (Side note: Paulina is too cute with Mauricio). In her bedroom, Paulina still wants to cover up the attacks but Karen suggests she at least tell Adrian because Julieta is a cuckoo clock (thank you!)

• Gonzalo discusses the affair with Alfonso (these two are two peas in a pod). He suggests sending her away but Gonzalo thinks it’s stupid to have a mistress but keep her away (if your wives could hear you now). Gonzalo also tells Alfonso about leaving Jaime’s company and not paying him for the completed campaign. At this even Alfonso thinks it’s an a-hole move. Gonzalo decides he will pay them but also ruin their reputation to make sure they leave. Alfonso also thinks this is a horrible plan. (Listen to your best friends, guys; they seem to know what they’re talking about).

• Jaime tries to get the contract back with the Murats and he hopes Adrian talking to Ines will help but he’s not sure. Jaime is mad and disappointed in Julieta (don’t try to get any help for her though, Jaime). Later, Jaime finds out he received payment for the completed campaign but has a lot another account (Gonzalo sure is quick).

• Edgar runs to the mini bar and Nuria criticizes him for day drinking and staying in the house forever. Edgar says he’s staying indefinitely so she better get used to it. Nuria tells Ines to kick Edgar and Mauricio out but Ines tells her to take a hike. Nuria takes this opportunity to reiterate how her opinion doesn’t matter. Ines and Paulina go back to talking about Adrian and how she wants them both to speak to Gonzalo (I love how Paulina thinks a scarf in the middle of sunny weather is an inconspicuous way to cover up her hand prints…she was obviously the good child).

• Karen, still the episode’s MVP, spills the beans to Adrian and Jaime about Julieta’s attack (thank you!).

• Edgar is attacked but two thugs who he owes money to and tried to get out of it by running away. The leader gave him cocaine to sell and apparently he either threw it out or consumed it, either way, he has 24 hrs to get the money. Later, he barges into the office asking for Gonzalo. He asks for a 6-8 month advance from Alfonso who refuses and doesn’t back down despite Edgar’s threats.

• Jaime and Gisela, his co-worker, discuss (in shock!) that Julieta attacked Paulina (these people are surprised?) Gisela offers to talk to her since their best friends. Jaime tells her his love for Julieta might be ending and Gisela smiles (Biggest smile ever).

• Adrian moves out and Julieta has a freak out. She calls him “mi Corazon!” as he walks out the door. Later in Jaime’s office, Julieta is having a meltdown but she isn’t getting any sympathy from Jaime. Julieta blames Paulina for Adrian leaving her (not because she’s crazy). She’s taken care of him since they were young but Jaime argues that she did it out of love, not because she expected payment later.  Julieta says Adrian is all she has (not you know, a husband). Gisela walks in and tries to call her down but Julieta runs out.

• Gonzalo visits Monica and his two! kids great him (I always wonder about people who have full blown affairs with kids and everything, how do you hide it for so long?) He bribes the kids with gifts but Monica is not happy. When the kids go out to play with Elisa Monica tells Gonzalo if all he came for is sex can he can leave. Gonzalo asks what is going on with her.

• Adrian goes to Karen’s place to ask for help finding a shelter but she offers to let him stay at her place. (Not a spoiler: I hope Karen doesn’t fall for Adrian. We need more female friendships on TV). Adrian hopes that him leaving his sister will prove his love.

• Monica tells Gonzalo thinks they should be a family and she worries about her kids and the fact that they might put two and to together regarding his name since they are growing up.  She is also sad that her kids are less in Gonzalo’s eyes than his with Ines. (I mean Monica, your kids are 10 years old, why is there still hope there?) Gonzalo promises as soon as his kids out of the house, he’ll reveal everything. (Oh yeah, another promise).

• Monica’s mom tells Rene tell their dad to live with them (all she does is make it worse). Rene wants more gifts. Alan, who I assume is the younger brother, doesn’t want gifts; he just wants his dad’s time. Rene wants gifts and his time (oh boy).

• Paulina goes to visit Adrian. Before she goes up to the bedroom, they show her saving goodbye to Mauricio from his POV. It is quiet as she signs to him. (I thought it was really cool). Upstairs, Adrian wants to get married ASAP. (I agree, or elope because these people are all crazy liars). Paulina worries about leaving the people she loves but since Adrian left his sister already she would have to live with it. (It could be a small wedding with just Ines, Mau, Karen and Jaime). When Karen comes in chasing after Mauricio, Paulina thanks her and is okay with her having told the truth to Adrian (at least she’s grateful).

• Alfonso tells with Camilo that says Ines is on Adrian’s side, for now, and she might sway Gonzalo. However, he also acknowledges that Gonzalo never admits he’s wrong or backs down from a fight. Camilo says that he is not going to throw himself at Paulina until she’s ready to accept him and is over Adrian; her happiness comes first. (How is it that the younger crowd is nicer and more courteous of other’s feelings than the “adults?”)

• Alan is sad his dad won’t sleep at home again but Rene wants to know why is he different from all the other dads. Gonzalo isn’t having it and sends the kids away then warns Elisa to shut it or she’ll regret it. (Gonzalo is the piece of work of the year. Also, Elisa sure talks a lot of smack about Gonzalo but enjoys his money).

• Chelo wonders what Mauricio’s life would be without Edgar, who busts in at that moment and tells her to leave. Chelo immediately runs down stairs to tell Ines that Edgar is beating up Mauricio. They both run up.

• Julieta is doing a little spring-cleaning—touchingand smelling everything. She worries that she will never smell Adrian again because he took his cologne (whatttt????). She knocks over the cleaning bucket and finds bleach.

• Paulina, who is in the kitchen making food for Mauricio, answers the phone. It’s Julieta who blames her for everything and says she’ll carry her death on her conscience forever. Julieta drinks more bleach as Paulina asks what’s she doing…(All abroad the crazy train!)
