Caray, Caray!

A little bit of this and a little bit of that . . .

Aldo seeing Julieta with a baby in her arms is very interesting to him. He thought he would never see Julieta Aguilar with a baby.

Back at the hospital, Eugenio is going through physical therapy as Robert watches.

Gabriel tries to rent a room at a hotel for a week just to find out that his credit card has been ”refused”. Another one of his cards has also been “blocked”. Can he pay in cash?

Aldo tells Julieta about the joys of parenthood. He asks if she has changed her mind about not having children and just wanting a career. She does not know what she is missing. Julieta returns his baby and wishes him well. Julieta tells Luz that she and Aldo ended their relationship because he wanted a career and a family. Julieta realizes now that she is missing something in her life and she knows what it is.


Blanca is driving everyone to the contest. Hugo Jr. and Belén offer to drive but Blanca insists that she can. Enzo calls Amalia to find out where she is. Blanca drives the SUV whistling as she goes until the police stop her. The policeman gets her on not going the normal speed and not stopping before a speed bump. He asks for her documents and her driving license. She has nothing. He will have impound her vehicle. He also makes a comment about her bad driving that she does not take kindly to. Blanca tells them all to take a taxi and she will stay with the vehicle.

Gabriel confronts his sisters at the restaurant about the closed credit cards. Clarissa tells him all of his cards have been cancelled. Cassandra adds that it was what their father ordered. Anyway, since he has no job, how could he pay them off? Clarissa says this is the price for being with his girl/boy. It is his decision. Gabriel tells them he will not be surrendering. He is going to be very happy with Daniela. Cassandra tells him it is time for him to leave “their” restaurant. When he is gone, Cassandra wonders if Gabriel will be driven to do the same thing he did years ago. Clarissa does not even want to mention it. It would kill their father. They look worried.

Once Gabriel leaves, he checks his wallet and he does not have much cash on him at all. Daniela calls him but does not have the heart to tell her what is happening to him. He tells her things are just great. She talks about getting money together to form a catalogue. He will see her later at the carpenter shop.

Robert tells his father the importance of keeping up with his physical therapy. Without the therapy the pain will be worse. Eugenio is there, isnt’t he? Robert changes the topic. He is going to the bank to see if they can transfer some money to Tulio. Eugenio wants him to know how how grateful he is. Robert’s phone rings and it is Blanca. She explains her situation. Robert is going to help her. Eugenio has heard the SUV is being impounded and insists on coming along.

Amalia and Belén and the rest go running to the contest which has already started. Enzo keeps calling her. Will Amalia make it?

Blanca does not want to sign the release for the vehicle until her lawyer comes. The policeman has to clear the road so the vehicle is towed with Blanca running after it.

Eugenio throws a fit about Blanca’s predicament. Robert tells him that Bkanca deserves respect. It would be better that he drop Eugenio at home. No way. Eugenio insists he is going. Robert tries to get him to control himself. Eugenio just knows nothing like this would have happened if she had just stayed at home and washed clothes, cooked, ironed and did what a normal wife does. Robert tries to get him to see that just because Blanca is his wife does not mean she has to be perfect. Robert does not want him making the situation worse than it is.

Diana gives Bruno some tips on teaching. His student has to see him as being confident. He has to have authority but at the same time develop a certain closeness with the student. Bruno is finding the whole “teacher thing” interesting. Who would have thought that? Linda texts him a photo. He shows it to Diana. Yes, his girlfriend is Julieta’s sister-in-law and Julieta does not like that one bit.

Gabriel arrives at the Oaxacan Paradise Motel. Unknown to him, Cassandra is following him and taking photos to send to Clarissa and their father. Gabriel goes in and gets a room for cash but is grossed out when he sees a cockroach marching around in full view (and may I mention, in full light)

Amalia amd her entourage finally arrive at the contest. She has arrived just in time. She gets herself psyched up to perform.

Clarissa shows the photos of Gabriel that Cassandra is sending her to their father Augusto. She is so upset that he ended up at a transient motel. Her father tells her it won’t last long. He also wants her to tell Cassandra not to take her eyes off of him. Gabriel is going to touch bottom soon enough. Augusto reminds his daughter that love ends when the money is gome. Cassandra expresses some concern asking her father what will happen if he is wrong. Augusto answers that he isn’t.

Robert arrives where Blanca is with Eugenio in tow. Eugenio turns out to be a royal pain in the . . . Eugenio cannot keep from criticizing her about her driving. He is now blaming her for making them spend more money when they don’t have any. Blanca says that if somebody would have taught her how to drive years ago then she would have had the documentation and the license that she needed. They refuse to talk to each other but talk through Robert. Blanca has to leave to see Amalia perform. She will take a taxi. She gives the paperwork the policeman gave her to Robert. She leaves completely ignoring Ignacio.

Julieta and Marisol talk about Linda And Bruno. Julieta would like to know more about Linda and why she is like she is. One day she is very aggressive and the next she wants to be Julieta’s best friend. The problem is that Bruno is as unstable as she is. Marisol explains that Linda is not a bad person, she just has to be noticed. The fact that she and Linda cannot stand each othe is not the reason that Julieta does not want Bruno and Linda together. She just wants Bruno to “land.” Marisol warns her that Linda is the type of person who gets even more obstinate when they are told that something is not possible. Marisol sees it as a lost cause trying o convince somebody to leave the person they love.

Bruno tells Linda that it isn’t that he is afraid of Julieta but she has been everything to him: his father, his mother, everything. He tells Linda how Julieta protected him and took care of him. Bruno’s advice is to just let time go by or Linda could do what Julieta did to get to know the family. Linda rolls her yes with that suggestion. Linda has another idea: she will do whatever she has to do to win Julieta over.

Amalia is in the middle of her performance as Blanca finally arrives. The crowd loves Amalia and applauds and cheers especially Enzo.

Amalia and her sisters await the decision of the judges. In the meantime, the master of ceremonies makes a point of telling everyone that she wants to congratulate the women in this contest who in spite of their age, the aches and pains of menopause and being single have not given up. Amalia goes crazy hearing that until Enzo tells her how proud he is of her. Amalia is pronounced the winner of the competition. She gives a heartfelt acceptance speech about women who don’t give up.

Daniela calls Gabriel. He is coming over. He complains about the roach to the desk manager on the way out. The desk manager never promised a Jaccuzzi or international beers in a mini bar. Gabriel just did not want a roach for a roommate. As he gets in his car, Cassandra is taking photos of him and then follows him.

Julieta and Luz chat. Meeting her old boyfriend has started her thinking. Luz agrees to go to the fertility doctor with her.

Daniela walks in and Imelda starts ragging on how alone she is and how she misses Blanca who took care of her so well. Robert and Eugenio arrive next. Eugenio remarks that he is feeling old and useless. He doesn’t know what to do. Blanca didn’t even look at him. Imelda remarks how she never knew that Blanca gave their home such order and balance.

Enzo tells Amalia that he wants to be something more to her. He is attracted to her. They kiss and Blanca and Belén sees them but agree not to say anything to Amalia.

Daniela knows something is going on with Gabriel. She grabs him by the chin and pushes him into the wall ordering him to tell her what is going on. She then tries twisting his arm and threatening to twist it some more with a wrench unless he tells her what is going on. He explains that eventhough they are a couple they also have their own individual things to deal with and he can ake care of this himself. She is not too happy with the answer. He tells her it has nothing to do with her. He just wants her to know he would do absolutely anything to be with her.

Julieta talks to the doctor. The doctor suggests a whole bunch of medical tests so they know exactly what her possibilities of getting pregnant are. She wants to be a mother. He also asks about her emotional state and if she has been to see a pychologiat.

Daniela wants to discuss the direction of the business with Gabriel. Gabriel cannot get his father telling him he has nowhere to live out of his mind as Daniela talks to him about the the business: designing furniture and designing wooden figures, toys.

Catalina is wildly saging her home. She also wants Bruno away from that Linda Ciórcega.

Bruno and Aristóteles get into it when Aristóteles does not remember who Pablo Neruda was after Bruno has told him several times. Aristóteles reminds Bruno that he Bruno never finished college. It comes out that Aristóteles thought that Bruno was coming over to help him because he thought they were friends. He finds out that is not true.

Robert and Julieta are about to eat supper. She tells him about the orphanage and Dave getting rejected because of his scars. She also tells him about Dave calling her mamá. That is just what Robert was worried about. The doorbell rings. As Robert goes to answer it, Julieta relives Dave calling her mamá and then sees in her mind Ana and Tulio.
