Caray, Caray!

Ramon tells Fabiola that he is there to support her, despite very clear legal advice, and kisses her. Francisco walks in, puff out his chest, and tells them Ramon wasn’t supposed to be there before walking away after Ramon declares that he’s there to support Fabiola. Ramon then decides not to enter the court with them but offers Fabiola is full support in spirit. They kiss again and then Fabiola leaves with her lawyers.

Julio comes out of the bank with Juana and Andrea, hoping they can all go to the bank to present the POA, but Juana wants to check on Fabiola and the bachelorette party preparations. Julio shrugs, as he also wanted to take them to lunch, but they decide to go together on Monday.

In court, Carlos states that Francisco wants to sell the clinic and split the profit in half. Margarita states that they will buy it and Francisco asks them for 5 million even if it only cost 3 million when they bought it. Francisco explains that the clinic has gained equity, but everyone knows he’s just stalling. Francisco offers to sell it to someone else, but he will choose the real estate company lest Fabiola and her lawyers sell it for less just to get rid of him. Everyone agrees, and the court is dismissed.

Outside the court, Ramon sees Francisco and Carlos leave, silently, as Fabiola arrives and tells him that Francisco only forced her to come to rile her up, but Margarita is happy they at least came to some sort of agreement. Ramon then offers to take Fabiola to the car and bring it around to the front.

At the shop, Guero invites Lucho to Finito’s bachelor party as Rulo overhears. Lucho is wary but accepts and Guero tells him it is BOYB.

Juana arrives home with Julio and Andrea to find Jorge and Luisa hanging decorations. Andrea declares that Julio finally has the power (to leave them all broke) and Luisa asks if Julio will be at the wedding tomorrow. Julio nods and hopes he can manage while she’s on her honeymoon and hopes she stays working for him. Luisa will, and he then gives her the rest of the day off to organize the party.

Rulo chides Dalia for not inviting him to Finito’s bachelor party (a party she’s not even invited to), but Dalia promises to get him invited. She then gives her a hug, but he doesn’t smile.

Porfirio drives Margarita back home and tries to invite her to dinner but Margarita already has plans to eat with Diego and Antonio. She hasn’t driven the dagger far enough though, so she tells him that Antonio proposed and she accepted and is happy to see he’s taken it so well. Porfirio reminds her that he’s dying so it’s not like they can get married and reveals that, despite the treatment, the cancer hasn’t disappeared.

Dalia chides Ramon for not inviting Rulo to the party, because she’s her boyfriend, but Ramon tells her he never thought of it. She declares that she invited him either way and Ramon shrugs though he states that she deserves better. Dalia tells him to be quiet and Ramon nods, wondering why he even bothered.

That night, at Juana’s, everyone waits for the other women to arrive at the bachelorette party. Just then, the doorbell rings, and troths of women walk in and hand Dalia their gifts.

Finito gets everyone’s attention at his own party and thanks them all for coming as he never expected to have a party but is happy they are all there regardless. Some of his food providers also arrive and they all sit down to drink and toast. While everyone toasts with beer, Finito drinks egg nog (because sure).

The girls are having their own fun because Andrea invited a game where the participants tie a chile around their waist and try to place it in the beer bottle. Luisa wiggles around but Juana is the ultimate winner because she has a patience of a saint.

At Finito’s, Rulo changes the music to someone move cheery as Ramon asks Finito if he’s having fun. Finito confesses he’s nervous because of the wedding tomorrow and Ramon has a solution: down some tequila instead of egg nog. They then toast to his and Luisa’s happiness.

The girls are playing another game where you dump coins hiding in your bum into a glass bowl. Everyone cheers but there is no clear winner.

Julio is also having the time of his life, losing at roulette, and declares that he will get back all he’s lost in gambling when he has control of the insurance money. He goes to bet again the money he doesn’t have.

Luisa wins one of the games and Andrea hands her a give: a corset with a thong. Luisa laughs as Finito would never allow it but they all cheer her on. Juana then goes to answer the door and it’s two policemen, who comes in and rip off their uniforms. As they dance around Juana, Luisa gets between them and declares that she’s the bachelorette. Andrea turns on the music and they being to dance.

In her lair, Hortensia hears the music and realizes where it’s coming from. She storms off to stop the party.

At this point, everyone is just trying to get Finito wasted on tequila shots (it’s not like he has a wedding tomorrow) and they begin to do karaoke. Ramon and Valente laugh at how drunk Finito has gotten.

As Luisa ogles the two strippers, Juana tells Fabiola that she never expected the surprise to be stripper, but Fabiola can only laugh and smile. Just then, Juana opens the door for Hortensia, who declares they have lost their minds, but the strippers don’t care and carry her in their arms. They let her down after a second and she leaves in a huff. Juana worries that she may do something drastic (like kidnapping her granddaughter perhaps?) but Fabiola reminds her that she doesn’t live with them and can’t do anything.

All the men are drunkenly singing Pedro Fernandez, but no one seems to know the words. The doorbell rings then and Finito answers the door to find the stripper Adalgiza and Benito hired. She begins to dance in front of Finito, who is mesmerized, but Ramon and Valente wonder how hired her. They assume it was one of the other people Finito invited. The stripper then shakes her tail feather as Benito tries to look away but can’t. The stripper then begins to dance with him and Finito is on the floor before he knows it, enthralled.

Outside, Adalgiza and Benito watch the festivities from behind a tree but Adalgiza is worried that the stripper will take advantage of Finito. Benito hopes she does but Adalgiza chides him for thinking that way.

More police officers arrive at the bachelorette party and the girls think it’s reinforcements, but they are real police officers, which Hortensia called, to arrest them for their lack of morality. Juana declares that they are just having fun, but Hortensia likens their “fun” to an orgy and they are disturbing the peace. Luisa calls her a party pooper but Hortensia thinks they are all bad influences on her granddaughters. However, Dalia reveals that her granddaughters were the ones who hired the strippers and Hortensia is shocked though her granddaughters feign ignorance. Hortensia wants the strippers arrested either way and asks the police officers to do so immediately.

                                   
Antonio and Margarita overhear the commotion from their apartment and go to see what is happening.

Imagine walking into the building and seeing this: two police officers trying to arrest two men in their underwear as a group of women hold them back…



Hortensia declares that everyone is trying to turn the apartment building into a brothel but Fabiola screams that they are only having fun. Antonio and Margarita arrive, and Fabiola begs her for help as Hortensia only wants the strippers arrested because they are naked.
At Finito's, all the men scream for Finito to take the stripper to a private room as they continue to dance.

Outside, Benito explains to Adalgiza what a private dance means and she tries to go inside and stop him. Benito stops her and tells her that she went along with the plan and now they must see it through. Adalgiza prefers to leave though and Benito smiles to himself because the plan is working.

Margarita explains to the police officers that the strippers were only doing their jobs, so they shouldn’t be arrested. Antonio also tells them that Hortensia is a troublemaker and they shouldn’t listen to her. Hortensia can’t believe the women will be rewarded for their libertine behavior and storms off. Fabiola then invites Margarita to the party as well and Antonio asks her to behave before leaving. They also invite the police officers for a drink, but they prefer to leave.

Finito, now full of red kisses on his cheek, begins to take off his jacket and stumbles back. He screams that his leg hurts, and Ramon offers to take him to the ER because his leg might be broken.

Adalgiza arrives home and goes to her room as Benito tells Fredesvinda that their plan worked, and he will get all the sordid details out of Valente tomorrow. Fredesvinda thanks him for helping her live longer and Benito smiles as Fredesvinda leaves to go to bed.

Valente and Ramon take Finito to the doctor with Jorge and Teofilo. The doctor looks him over and declares he will need to walk in a boot for the next three weeks and take the prescribed pain medication. They wonder what will happen at the wedding tomorrow but Finito prefers to take it one day at a time though he’s obviously still drunk.

The next day, Luisa wonders how she got home and asks Dalia if she did anything crazy because she’s too hungover to remember. She wonders how she will marry Finito now, but Dalia tells her that Ramon and Valente didn’t come to sleep either, so they must’ve had a crazy night. Luisa doesn’t doubt Finito though and drinks some coffee as Dalia leaves for work.

Finito doesn’t remember what happened either and Teofilo tells him all that he got crazy with a stripper last night. Finito can’t believe he cheated on Luisa in that way but Teofilo will tell her that he was calm and broke his foot in the tub; he tells Finito that all that men agreed on that story though Finito is unsure.

Ramon calls Fabiola to ask her how she’s feeling. She can’t believe Finito’s bad luck as Jorge told them what happened, and Ramon laughs to himself because he knows the truth. He then hangs up as Guero comes back with some greasy food to help him and Lucho get through the day.

Benito and Adalgiza find Valente at work and ask him about the bachelor party. Valente tells them it went great, especially with the stripper, but Finito slipped and fell so he couldn’t sleep with her. Adalgiza is confused but is happy to know he didn’t sleep with the stripper. Valente then leaves and Adalgiza runs to check on Finito with Benito in tow.

Teofilo finds some crunches for Finito as he calls Luisa.

Juana calls Luisa to check up on her and reveals what happened to Finito. She promises to go see him when her head stops pounding and Juana promises to be over soon to help her get ready. Luisa hopes it’s not too much trouble as she looks terrible and they hang. Just then, Finito calls Luisa, who knows his leg is broken, and asks her to meet him at the sub shop. She agrees, hangs up, but worries that Finito knows how crazy the bachelorette party got last night.

Rulo is sleeping in a car when Chava wakes him up and chides him for leaving him alone last night. Rulo tells him that he was barely invited because Ramon and Valente organized it. Chava nods but he doesn’t look happy.

Guero and Lucho work on a car and talk about Finito’s broken leg as Dalia overhears. They tell her the BS story they agreed on, though Dalia is shocked that Finito drank so much.

Luisa meets Finito at the sub shop and chides him for breaking his leg on the day of their wedding. As Teofilo signals Finito to be quiet and not tell Luisa the truth, he tells her that there is something she needs to know.

Dalia finds Rulo at the shop and demands he tell her the truth about Finito’s broken foot. Rulo shakes his head but Dalia knows they hired a stripper and Rulo nods. He tells her that, if not for his broken foot, Finito would’ve cheated on Luisa. Dalia hits him with her clipboard for saying that.

Francisco meets with his real estate contact, catches him up on his life, and then instructs him to register the clinic but not put it up for sale until he says so because he wants to stall the divorce proceedings. The agent nods.

Finito tells Luisa everything about the stripper and declares that the evil alcohol made him behave erratically though that’s no excuse. He tells her that she can stop the wedding if she likes but Luisa refuses to lose the best man she’s ever met after one night of heaving drinking. She hugs him tight and he kisses her hands as Adalgiza and Benito look on, dejected. Finito then instructs Teofilo to close the shop because they have a wedding to get to. Teofilo offers to help Finito get dressed as Dalia calls Luisa to tell her the truth about the stripper. Luisa knows everything though and chides Dalia and Rulo for being gossips when they had agreed on a story beforehand. Dalia then hangs up, annoyed.

Sometime later, Luisa is dressed and ready to go as Juana helps her with the finishing touches. Juana then begins to cry because she’s so happy to see Luisa getting married. Luisa hoped it would be Benito who she would marry but she promises to be happy with Finito.

Finito is also ready to go and thanks Teofilo for helping him and being a true friend. Teofilo begins to cry and Finito asks him to get dressed as they are late.

Ramon leaves to go get Fabiola, who will only go to the church wedding as she’s recovering, and Julio will take Luisa, Juana, and Valente in his car. Much to their annoyance, Rulo and Dalia will go to the church in a taxi because there is no space (and Luisa can barely stand the sight of him).

Fredesvinda is laying in bed because Luisa’s wedding is moving forward and that means she will die though she can’t understand how since she’s to going to the wedding. Adalgiza is the one who’s really dying because the man she loves is getting married, so she can’t deal with Fredesvinda’s nonsense right now. When she leaves the room, Fredesvinda locks the door behind her.

Julio arrives at the church and Luisa gets out of the car and walks over to Finito, who waits for her, anxiously. They look into each other’s eyes and smile.




In the kitchen, Benito cries and drinks cup after cup of tequila because they lost and the people they love will marry someone else. Adalgiza declares that she will not give up and runs to stop the wedding.

In the church, in front of the priest, Luisa and Finito both accept their promise to love each other faithfully. The priest then asks if anyone has any reason to stop the wedding as Adalgiza walks in and looks at them…
