Caray, Caray!

Here is the recap, courtesy of RGVChick:

And in the beginning…Rulo takes advantage that Dalia is dead drunk and says “Make me yours,” but is interrupted by Ramón who has come to save the skank from the scum. Ramón keeps yelling, and Dalia comes to her senses (somewhat). When Dalia staggers over and opens the door, Ramón chides her for the way she looks. Rulo tries to stop Ramón from taking Dalia, but is sent flying to the bed when Ramón slam his fist up his nose and breaks it. Ramon continues to scold Dalia as they leave, but she wants to know what’s wrong with him…it’s not as if he’s her father. Juana calls to ask about Dalia so Ramón covers for Dalia and tells her they are there at the billiard and will stay a while longer. Ramón thinks about what he should do with her now. Meanwhile, Rulo calls Chava and asks him for help going to the hospital because his nose got broken (too bad something else didn’t get broken).


At Benito’s passion den, Luisa and he are on the couch breathing heavily and getting it on (well, trying to) when they get interrupted by a banging on door. Ramón has brought Dalia over so she can sober up. As Luisa hides in the hallway, Ramon drags Dalia in and plops her on the couch. Luisa, who is peaking from the hallway is upset and really wants to go out and lambaste Dalia, but realizes she can’t (oh, the restraint that must have taken).

At Emilia’s, Susana wonders if her mother is upset with Osvaldo. Emilia thinks he is an expert at getting her into trouble, but wonders how a father can do such nefarious things to his own son. Just then, Osvaldo is outside and calling to ask if he can come in. When Emilia allows it. Osvaldo shares that his dad admitted to selling the car so now he can’t stand the sight of him…he didn’t know where else to go.

At the loony passion den, Benito and Ramón struggle to give Dalia coffee…she refuses it. Benito chides Ramón for getting Dalia drunk but Ramon tells him it was Rulo who took her to the billiard then took her to his house. Dalia wants to go home, but Ramon wants her to sober up. Dalia thinks it doesn’t matter because her mother isn’t home anyway, but Ramón reminds her Juana is there and makes her gulp down the coffee.

At Emilia’s, Osvaldo can’t understand why his father lied to him instead of just admitting he had financial problems. He doesn’t know if he can forgive him. Osvaldo thinks about probably staying at a hotel, but Susana wants him to stay there. Emilia agrees that he can stay in guest room. When he thanks the “Señora,” she reminds him to call her Emilia.

At the loony passion den, Benito goes to check on Luisa who is furious at Dalia and can’t wait to get home to get after her, but Benito warns her she can’t tell Dalia anything because then they will think he ratted on them. In the living room, Ramón continues to give Dalia coffee and calls out for Benito…Dalia is about to throw up. They rush her to the bathroom which happens to be through the hallway, but Ramón opens the bedroom door instead as Luisa hides under the bed and Ramón notices her feet sticking out from under the bed. He closes the door quickly.

After Rulo finishes up getting his nose set, Chava tells him he was lucky that it was a clean break, but Rulo wants to get back at Ramón. Even though Chava advises him not to go looking for trouble, Rulo won’t let things go.

At Luisa’s house, Ramón and Dalia enter and are greeted by Juana who is yelling from her room. Dalia yells good night and when Ramón makes sure she can go to her bedroom on her own, goes on to his bedroom, Dalia wonders what she did; she can’t remember anything.

Outside Antonio’s shop, Chava and Rulo jump the fence. Rulo wants to loosen the brake line pipe on Fabiola’s car. Chava warns him that Fabiola might drive the car…but Rulo doesn’t care…too bad, if it’s her time, then it’s her time.

In the morning, Benito and Luisa eat breakfast when someone bangs on the door again. Ramón has returned just to say thank you and to apologize…for interrupting since he had company, but he only saw her feet. Benito tells him the woman was not someone worth introducing…it was just one of those adventures; and Luisa is in the other room fuming (I’m surprised Ramón didn’t notice the smoke). When Ramón leaves, Luisa comes out throwing Benito’s words at him, but she should get with it…that’s all he could think to say.

In her bedroom. Dalia is still in bed trying to remember what happened…the last thing she remembers is Rulo being all over her teaching her how to play pool.

In the morning, Julio bumps into Margarita as he goes to his mother’s house because she isn’t answering. They both enter and find HorHellia passed out on the floor. After they make her sell alcohol (or something similar), she finally comes to and wonders what happened. She woke with a huge headache, got woozy and must have fainted. Julio wants her to get checked by a doctor, but she refuses. She only wants them to pick up the mess she made. After she staggers to her bedroom, Margarita calls the doctor.

Jorge goes for Andrea on his way to the university. He tells her Osvaldo left home. He recounts the whole ordeal, including the sorry excuses his father came up with. Now his father will have to face the consequences because Osvaldo won’t forgive him. After she holds his hands and looks at him empathetically, he wonders about the type of family he has.

In his office, Antonio gets a call from Rulo who tells him some guy broke his nose; so he needs to be out. As he hangs up, Ramón walks in and tells him Dalia won’t be in because she is feeling sick. When Antonio asks about Ms. Sofia’s (customer) car, Ramon gives a quick report and tells him he will take care of it. Before Ramón exits, Antonio asks if Juana told him about the incident with Julio.
At Emilia’s, Susana is having breakfast as Osvaldo wakes up late and worries what her mother will think.

At a manicure shop, Emilia’s manicurist friend asks about Susana as she gets her manicure. Emilia tells her Susana now has a boyfriend and smirks. Her friend notes the smirk and reminds her that “el que solo sonríe, de sus maldades se acuerda” (he who laughs to himself, of his misdeeds remembers)…she wonders if Emilia has a love interest, but Emilia grins and says, “No, it’s just a simple flirtation.”

At Antonio’s office, Antonio tells Ramón he was bothered when he saw Julio with Juana and is very sorry…he hopes Juana forgives him. Ramón thinks Juana is astute and knows that the money is going to be a magnet for some people. When Ramón wonders what Antonio knows about Julio, Antonio admits he has nothing concrete but thinks that Julio is a man with a dark side; and he is suspicious about the interest Julio now has with Juana. Juana needs to be careful…Julio is not a man that can be easily read. Antonio assures Ramón that he holds her in high regard even if she doesn’t believe it.
At Luisa’s house, Dalia comes out to the kitchen dragging her feet. Juana doesn’t think her malady looks like a stomach ache; it looks more like a hangover. Just then, Luisa comes in and wonders why Dalia isn’t at work, Dalia has to exit quickly to go to the restroom. Luisa frowns and will prepare her a really good remedy. When Juana asks how it went with Benito, Luisa shares that her “chaparrito” (short one) is unique.

At the shop, Ramón walks to the garage and greets Chava who tries to pry information out of Ramón, so he asks about Dalia. When Ramón tells him she isn’t coming to work, Chava shares that Rulo isn’t coming in either. After Ramón is out of hearing distance, Chava calls Rulo to tell him Dalia didn’t come in and Ramón mentioned nothing about breaking his nose.

At Luisa’s, Luisa smirks as she concocts Dalia’s “remedy.” In the bedroom, Juana asks Dalia what she ate as Luisa comes in with the “grandmother’s remedy.” Dalia gives her a dubious look and thinks it smells bad, but Luisa forces her to drink it all. When Juana what she put in it, Luisa replies, “Love, pure love.”

At Hell’s den, the doctor has checked HorHellia and found that her blood pressure is low and her sugar level went down (but didn’t say if she has a heart). He recommends a general check-up to rule out anything neurological. Julio worries she may not want the tests.

At Luisa’s, Dalia wonders what Luisa gave her. Luisa just assures her she will feel better; and she left more of it prepared for later. When Dalia’s stomach starts grumbling and runs to bathroom, Luisa laughs because her remedy is already taking effect (teeheehee…Dalia, meet John, your tail will be his for a while).

Back at Hell’s den, HorHellia doesn’t want tests because it will cost too much. She doesn’t think it’s neurological because her head functions very well (we can all take a vote and decide otherwise). She thinks she fainted because she didn’t eat well yesterday. For now, she has too many things to do, so she tells Margarita to go tend to her lover friend…and Julio should run to Juana now that he knows she will get the money. After they leave, HorHellia hisses that NOW they’re worrying about her.
Sara tells Andrea about last night--the car stealing. Jorge acted like a true man…not at all gayish…maybe he’s just Bi. When Andrea gets message from Juana reminding her of doctor’s appointment, Sara gets a brilliant idea (NOT!) maybe the doctor could help Jorge with his problem. As Andrea writes a reply, Jorge arrives and opines that being gay isn’t a problem…he wonders who is gay. Sara quickly responds that it is just a friend and, of course, everyone has their preferences…no problem! After she makes a run for it, Jorge thinks she keeps getting stranger. He advises Andrea that he can’t accompany her to the appointment, but he has time to drop her off.

At Emilia’s, Osvaldo looks for a rental and sees they are not cheap, so Susana tells him he can stay there as long as he wants, but he doesn’t want her mother will think he is a moocher. Just then, Virginia calls to ask where he spent the night. After he replies that he was at a friend’s house, Virginia pleads with him to go back home, but he refuses. After he hangs up, Susana asks why he didn’t tell her he was at her home. Osvaldo explains his mother is not as liberated as hers.

At Porfirio’s office, Veronica is with Porfirio as he gives her instructions on what needs to be done that day. She gladly agrees to take care of everything as Margarita comes in to excuse herself for being late. She mentions her mother’s illness. Margarita plans to start on her pending case, but Porfirio lets her know that Veronica has already been instructed to take care of it. When Margarita gets upset because it was HER case, Porfirio retorts that he can no longer rely on her…she may leave at a spur of a moment. He adds that he doesn’t want to have any hopes with her and informs her that the property deed she was waiting for is on her desk. After she stomps out, Porfirio asks himself why he even bothers to think about her anymore…she will never be for him.

Julio is in his office on the phone explaining to a client about a transfer of money. He gets his roguish look because he has figured out how he will pay Emilia. He immediately calls her to ask where he should deposit the money, but she invites him to her house for dinner. He gladly agrees.

At the law office, Margarita quickly calls Antonio with good news, but he thinks it’s that she is no longer upset about the Julio issue. She isn’t upset anymore, but clarifies that the good news is about the property deed. She got a copy of the most current property deed…and it’s under Ricardo’s name (woohoo!! One more strike against HorHellia!! How many more before she is out??). She made his day; so he asks her out to supper…and, of course, she happily agrees.

At the shop, Ramón and Fabiola get in her car for a lesson. Ramón is looking forward to it because it’s the only place they can talk. After a second attempt, she takes off smoothly.

Andrea arrives at Dr. Linares’s office. He will try the hypnosis again and mention words that might trigger some memories. She’s all for it, so he starts to put her under…

Fabiola is driving along and needs to stop…Ramón yells at her to brake, but she can’t…the brakes aren’t working. The inevitable happens and they CRASH!! Both Fabiola and Ramón are knocked out as a young man comes along to render aid. As Ramón comes to, the young man asks if they need help. Ramón looks at Fabiola and calls her name, but she doesn’t respond; so he yells at the man to call an ambulance.

At the doctor’s office, Andrea is completely under, so the doctor starts with his list of words: 1) Airplane-no significant response; 2) Gift-no significant response; 3) Memory-no significant response; 4) Longing for love; and 5) Feel love--She fidgets and mouths “Jorge” then says “Jorge!”…and as she visualizes their kiss, she smiles.

At the hospital, Fabiola is rushed in still unconscious as Ramón runs besides her telling her to hold on. Francisco happens to be there so Ramón tells him they were in an accident. As Francisco leads the nurses in to check her, he tells them not to let the mechanic in.

At the law office, Porfirio is getting ready to leave when Veronica comes in with her big smile. When he tells her he is going to the court, then home, Veronica wonders if he is going to get something to eat and invites him out for dinner, but he’d rather have dinner at his place and invites her over (sneaky little weasel!) . Veronica asks if he has read the poems, and he replies “yes;” they are his nighttime reading. They joke about the poems putting him to sleep.

At the doctor’s office, the doctor counts to 3 and Andrea awakens, but doesn’t remember anything. He tells her she actually spoke a name “Jorge.” She writes he’s her cousin. The doctor thinks she has progressed tremendously since she spoke, even if it was just one word…it corroborates his diagnosis. When Juana comes in the doctor tells her Andrea spoke under hypnosis. Juana is super happy. The doctor now knows it is just psychological; and in Andrea’s case, since it’s a result of a traumatic event, her recovery should be quick. Juana is anxious to know what word Andrea spoke, but Andrea signals that he shouldn’t say anything.

Ramón calls Antonio at his office to let him know about the accident. Fabiola is still unconscience. Antonio runs outside and tells Lucho that he is leaving for the hospital because Fabiola and Ramón had accident…Fabiola was seriously hurt. As Chava overhears, he thinks they went too far (ya think?)…Fabiola wasn’t at fault for Rulo’s incident.

At the hospital, Francisco is the doctor who is checking Fabiola out (he is just one lucky dude to be there and care for her…ack!). Fabiola slightly opens her eyes for a second, then closes them, so he orders some tests.

At Porfirio’s house, he and Veronica enter and she admires his apartment. Porfirio suspects that she was probably expecting to see a mess. As she looks around, she sees a guitar and asks him to play something for her. He wonders if she is willing to take the risk, but he should know she likes taking risks. He agrees to play it (the guitar, that is) after they eat.

At the hospital, Ramón asks about Fabiola, but the nurse asks if he is family. When he tells her he is Fabiola’s boyfriend, she tells him Dr. Santillán asked for a CT scan. Francisco then comes out and pompously tells Ramón he will only talk to family. When Ramón grabs him to hold him back from leaving, Francisco threatens that if he ever touches him again, he’ll have him thrown out of the hospital.
