Caray, Caray!

[Princess Juju may have a fuller recap ready.  I will put up some highlights.
I think of this episodio as "Tiptoeing Through The Garden Of Eden."  Don't ask me why. --Ed.]


Nicolas comes back to the Becker manse that morning looking for Alina’s missing present.  He’s ready to blame it on Federico or some such, but Mia holds them out to him: “--Did you come looking for these?”  Dunno whatyertalkin’bout.  UHMMM>  She accuses him of possibly sleeping with the new jefa.  He’s been ignoring her.  She tells him she cut herself again.

 Agustin gives his statement and tells them that Nacho as well as Santiago knew about Damian and Caro and possibly that Nacho did the murderous deed at Santi’s behest.



 Alina fires the guy Nico’s replacing for the Couch of Therapy.  We note he’s shorter than Alina in those CMF jefa-heels.  Who is this dismissed dude???  Alina gripes that Nico didn’t get his duties completed and undresses to show him what he’ll now be missing.  He throws himself at her and gets gritched at.

 At los Becker, Mia comes down long enough to sneer at her Tia going out in full daylight dressed to kill.

 At los Alvarado later that same day, the new mattress arrives and Raq and Santi decide to try it out.  Unfortunately for them, they hear Juan and Lola (Benji in her arms) arguing. (Juan’s supposedly changed, but Lola doesn’t care and says no go.)  Santi dresses and races down to handle things.  Juan leaves.  Benji has a fever and Raq races to put wet towels on him.

 Outside Laura drives up and gets into it with Juan.  He gives her the same story and Laura says get real and then drives off.  (What was she there for that she forgot about?)  Juan decides to follow her home.

 Meanwhile, Nacho has to give his statement and claims he’s going to call his lawyer.  “--Police cannot be trusted to find justice for anybody except the rich and powerful.”  He sits to give his statement without the lawyer.  Antonio advises him that Auggie told them Nacho and he knew 3 years ago that Dam and Caro were having an affair.  Nacho asks for a cup of coffee.

 Nacho gets on Auggie’s case for saying anything about Santi’s personal life and problems to Gabriela.   She comes out to chat with Santi when he arrives.  She prods for all the dirt and hurt and professes that as a woman she can make it better, just as well as Raquel can/does …..Ahemmmm.  Santi’s wise and denies anything wrong much less that he’s got gossip for her.  She gets nasty and tells him then to shape up or ship out and the job he does there better be the best of his life or else.

 Gabi wants a meet with Dam to discuss his affair with him.

 Raq wants Dam to give her an explanation about the argument with Caro the other day.  He gets defensive and turns the tables on her accusing her of accusing him of being disloyal.  (A quiet wife is a happy wife.  Don’t Raq the boat, Babe.)

 Meanwhile, Caro accuses Vicente of planning to extort Dam.  He accuses her of leaving him in a pig-pile all these past years while she high-tails it out of there with the first man that came along.  “—Since that fateful day you left me in this house with those damned memories while you were left in peace.  Peso for peso you will pay for that!”

 Nico refuses to cut himself and tells Mia that she’s really sick.  She threatens never to speak to him again.  He runs into Fede and accuses him of aiding and abetting Mia get away with cutting herself.  Fede begs him to help him cover up Mia’s problem but Nico won’t.  He warns Fede that if he doesn’t tell his mom, then Nico himself will.

 Gabi tries to blackmail Dam.  I believe she proposes that he get involved with her and her hubby or Raq will be told what she knows, courtesy of Santi’s workers.

 Vice asks Caro how much she’s willing to pay for his silence.  Caro refuses to pay one centavo.  Santi calls Vice on the cell since he cannot reach Caro.  He says she’s there with him so not to worry, and yes, she didn’t realize her phone was turned off.  She’s on her way home now.  Caro leaves Vice’s cabin and immediately calls Dam to tell him that Vice found out and wants hush-money.  Dam says he’ll handle it.

 Andres turns up at the Becker manse.  He tells Jovita he’s there to pay the bills for “The Family”.

 Once Benji’s fever is down and he’s quiet, Raq leaves.  Lola politely asks how Santi really feels about Raquel.

 Juan knocks on Laura and Godoy’s front door.  He wangles his way into the house.  He refuses to leave and starts trying to rape Laura, accusing her of being jealous of Lola.  (He may be right!)

 Godoy, meanwhile, turns out to be the Big Whale Raphael’s set up with Cinthia.  (Oh noes!!  WTF, Fernando???SinCin mentions the debt Raphael means to pay off as she strips and Godoy patiently watches.

 Raq meets Julieta who admits she cuts herself but also advises Raq to have a meaningfully long chat with Mia.  Don’t believe all Mia tells her.

 Dam visits Caro at the house and forces her to give him Vice’s cell phone number.  She won’t go into the reasons why she’s frightened of Vice.

 Santi reprimands Auggie for upsetting the customer with his chatter.

 Nacho visits Caro.  He admits that Auggie heard the argument in the yard with Dam.  He told him and Santi about it, but he didn’t tells Santi everything he heard.  However, he did tell Nacho all.  He asks her outright if she’s been cheating on Santi.
