At Logatoys, Kika explains that she took the risk of
talking to Anifer because she cares about him. She just hopes that the nanny
isn’t putting any ideas in his head that would turn him against her. Mau tries
to tell her not to refer to Renée by that name, but stops himself because he
thinks it would be of no use. When he asks why Renée would do something like
that, Kika responds that it’s obvious that Renée is very much in love with him
and wants to come between them. Mau doesn’t think it’s true, but Kika assures
him it is and adds that Renée doesn’t realize that she shouldn’t be hoping for
someone like him…ever! Mau assures Kika that Renée isn’t hoping for a man like
him; so Kika sighs and tells him that men never see things clearly while women
have a sixth sense about these things. She knows that Renée is in love with him…that’s
why Renée hates her. (Good choice out of so many good reasons, Renée)
The Next Morning—
At Mau’s house, Mau is combing Anifer’s hair and wonders why
she is so happy; so Anifer tells him that she thought about the surpirse her
mother is going to send her and wonders if Mau knows what it is. As Mau tells
her he doesn’t know and wouldn’t tell her anyway if he knew, Renée approaches
and Mau shows her how Anifer is ready even for the theater.
Renée smiles at Anifer and tells Mau that she made coffee.
When she reminds him that they weren’t able to talk the night before and it’s
important, Mau responds that they can talk later because he still needs to take
Anifer to school and she needs to have breakfast, but Anifer suggests that they
both take her to school. After Mau jests that Anifer probably wants to go to
school with a whole procession following her, Anifer responds that she just
wants her family with her…that’s all! As Anifer walks away, Mau is left with
his mouth open as Renée looks at him.
At Veronica’s house, everyone is eating breakfast as Fidelito
comments that Pepo wants something to eat. Veronica has no idea what he is
talking about so she motions Toño away from the table. When he explains that
Fidelito has an imaginary pet and suggests that Veronica follow along, Veronica
goes back to sit down and tells Fidelito that they will feed his pet later
because they have to rush so she can attend Fidelito’s festival. (Not suspecting
that Pepo will not perform his best on an empty stomach.)
At school, Renée tells Anifer not to be so sad; she will make
many friends; and Mau reminds her that she promised her mother she would go to
school. Anifer agrees to go in and kisses them both good-bye.
Renée then comments that she feels guilty about tricking
Anifer with the phone call. Mau agrees and shares that Anifer sometimes catches
him off guard; sometimes she seems so innocent, but other times she seems so
mature that he is not sure if she believes everything he tells her about María
or if she is just playing along. When Renée wonders what Mau is waiting for to
tell Anifer the truth, Mau replies, “For her to grow up. If I tell her now that
her mother died, she will suffer a lot…and I… no, I couldn’t see her so sad.”
Renée smiles and tells Mau that it seems he is finally turning into a real
father. When Mau explains that one just needs to be sensible, Renée nods and
tells him that if he doesn’t want to accept it, that’s fine, but she does want
them to clear up some things about Kika because there are several things that
he needs to be aware of.
In the principal’s office, Jorge stutters as he tries to
explain that his is a very long and complicated story. He hopes she doesn’t
judge him, but the important thing is that the four kids are his. When the
principal asks if they all have the same mother, the four kids simultaneously
say, “No!” Valentina and Samuel explain that they have their mother; and Baldo
and Lilí tell her that they have their mother…they are half-siblings. Jorge
interjects that the important thing is that they be enrolled so that they don’t
lose credit for the school year. The principal seems to understand and tells
them that they can start immediately, but on probation. She adds that they have
come to the right school since they accept all kinds of families…from single
mothers to homoparental families. After Samuel questions the term
“homoparental,” the principal explains what it means as Jorge clears his throat
and looks perturbed. The principal also tells them that they accept their type
of family, though she doesn’t know what to call it..either way they are
welcome. Jorge then tells his kids that they will stay there and when classes
are over, they are to go home; he can’t come for them because he has too much
work. After he leaves, the principal asks them what grade each one is in and
starts to take notes. (Her gold Lamé headband has
already tarnished to a paisley blue.)
In the parent meeting room, Toño wonders what is taking so
long. As Veronica comments that she may have to leave, the children walk in and
start the presentation. As Fidelito walks forward with his box and announces
that he brought Pepo, Veronica worries about what he is going to show since his
pet is imaginary, but when Fidelito opens the box, he shows his mouse! Everyone
starts yelling and getting on chairs. (As they and Pepo immediately realize that
Fidel is below the size limit for killer mice, thus safe, but their lives are all
in mortal danger.)
Outside, Lilí tells Baldo that she likes the school; it’s
not as strict as the one Valentina and Sammy attended. As Baldo agrees, some
kids come up to them and ask to show them the cafeteria. As they all walk to
the cafeteria, Baldo invites them to a party at his house…and they can spread
the word to their friends; it would be best so that they can get to know each
other. When they ask when the party will be, Baldo tells them it’s on that same
day; as soon as classes are over they can all head over to his house. As the
others walk ahead, Lilí smiles in wonderment and shakes her head. (She is now
sure Baldo will eventually work for Spacex, as his specialty is sending people
into orbit. Just slap 'JORGE' on it's fuselage and stand back!)
At the school, the chaos continues because Pepo is
running around. When he is cornered, Veronica hands Toño a broom; so he slams
it down on Pepo, killing it. (Toño is now 2 for 2) When Fidelito sighs that he
killed it, Veronica covers Fidelito’s eyes and tells him not to look. Toño
rambles that he didn’t know what he wanted to do, then accuses Veronica that
she is the one who gave him the weapon, but Veronica retorts that she told him
to trap it, not to kill it! Toño looks at all the children as they glare at him
accusingly. (Yet another 'Trade Places' scene for Toño, the rat just needs a
bigger broom .)
At Mau’s house, Mau argues that Renée’s little story that
Kika wants revenge for something that happened so many years ago sounds like an
exaggeration…or maybe Renée was hallucinating. Renée becomes frustrated and
retorts, “What is it that you are trying to say? What you are thinking is that
I’m crazy! And if that is so, then come and stand here in front of me and tell
me! Don’t be beating around the bush! Stand here and tell me!” Mau moves closer
and tries to calm Renée, but she continues to tell him to just spit it out and
not treat her like an idiot. Mau says, “Calm down. Take it easy!” After Renée
finally gets quiet, Mau continues, “For the record, I didn’t want to say this,
but since you insist, here it goes. Kika says that you made up this idea that
she wants revenge because you want something more with me.” Renée laughs quite
loudly so Mau continues, “Maybe you haven’t even realized it yet and that’s why
you hate Kika. It’s not right, but understandable…just look at me!” Renée
responds, “Enough! This is enough of so much idiocy! It’s best you don’t
continue with this made up theory because even you said that there could be
nothing between us…that it was something unattainable; it could never
happen…never in our lives.” As Renée shakes her head at the thought, Mau
wonders if she really thinks that, so Renée replies, “Of course, I’d have to be
sick in my head to even look at you. No! …do you agree?” Mau responds, “Yes, I
agree, but…” After Renée asks, “But what?” Mau moves closer to Renée and
continues, “What if I don’t…what if it’s not crazy…or unthinkable…or…” Renée
starts to fidget and asks, “Or? Or? Or what? You sound like an idiot!” Mau
adds, “What if…” After Renée asks, “Can you imagine that?” they both laugh and
say, “Naah! What a dumb idea!” After they turn and move away from each other,
they look at each other. Not being able to fight their magnetic passion, they
rush toward each other for their first long-awaited, very passionate
KISSSSS!! (These two are reminiscent of
a pair of bar magnets in school science class where no amount of skill can push
them together, until one is flipped around, then they snap together with even
more resolve) (TN clue: Neither one wipes their mouth, it must be true love!)
At the school, Fidelito comments that Toño killed Pepo.
After Neto comes in wondering what happened since their shouting could be heard
outside, he sees Pepo and remarks, “Pepo!” but quickly denies knowing about
Pepo. Veronica tells them they will talk about it at home and tells Fidelito
that a mouse, even though named, cannot be a pet. It can be dangerous for
everyone, especially him. When she asks why he had it in a box, Neto starts to
explain that it was because his father gave away Carola and told them he would
bring them another pet…then Pepo arrived at the house. (Are there little tiny Carolas
sprouting in the Roses and Dahlias yet?) Veronica explains that it was probably
a misunderstanding and asks where Fidelito got it from, so Neto responds that
he got it from the kitchen…where his father hides the trash…and says that the
mother-in-law won’t see it. (Toño, if I resembled a week and a half old
Mackerel I'd be terrified of the dumpster too. You would be sucked into the
landfill vortex for sure.) After Veronica shakes her head in disbelief, Toño
motions to Neto to cut it out and tells Veronica that it’s just a saying. When
he adds that everyone has their little hiding places, no one agrees with him.
Veronica then tells Toño to explain to Fidelito where his little pet went to,
so Toño explains that Pepo is now in the kingdom of Pepos…in the kingdom of the
mice where they have big parties and where there are famous rats…like Super
Rat, Topo…and Mickey! When Neto wonders if Toño also killed Mickey, Veronica
tells everyone that this man got confused; Mickey is very well and is at his
castle. A little boy tugs on Toño’s shirt and asks is Santa Claus is alright,
so Veronica assures him that he is. (In a cage match, my money is on St. Nick.)
At her suite, Kika talks to her sister, Charitín, who
wants to know how things are going with Mauricio. After Kika hesitates and
tells her she hasn’t had breakfast yet, Charitín thinks Kika sounds strange and
wonders if her quest for vengeance is wavering. Kika responds that is not the
case, but thinks it’s time to bury the past…after all their Daddy is fine and
what happened, happened. Charitín chides her for forgetting about her revenge.
When Kika tries to explain that after having reencountered Mau and after that
night of unrestrained passion, she thinks…Charitín yells, “You fell in love
with him again! Oh, no!” Kika confirms that she thinks she has.
At Mau’s house, the passionate kiss continues, but Renée
suddenly pushes Mau away and they both start apologizing and neither one knows
what happened. They start their Ren-Maumbo Jumbo until Mau tells Renée to go
ahead and say what she wants to say first. When she says, “It’s okay,” Mau
interprets it to mean that the kiss was okay and asks, “You think?” Renée
clarifies that it will be okay that she speak first and tells Mau, “Yes, it was
a mistake…I think;” so Mau responds, “Yes, I believe so. What were we thinking?
After all we are very different! You are not my type.” Meanwhile, Renée is
talking and agreeing with him until Mau says, “Of course I’m not your type. You
like doctors who are jealous, manipulators, nerds…” so Renée counters, “And you
like women who are frivolous, big-lipped, with little brains…but that’s not my
problem; it’s yours!” (Are the duck lips and mountains normally sold as a
discount package?)
Mau then adds, “It’s fine with me if you like corny,
killer of the healthy, ridiculous, skinny, ugly and
bug-eyed...tu-roon-toon-toon!” Renée is beside herself and says, “Tu-roon-toon-toon!
You too! Don’t pretend! You like women that are annoying, racist, arrogant, and
superficial!” Mau adds, “And he has that Cantinflás moustache…and is like a
stretched noodle; he even looks like a windmill!”
At her suite, Kika is still talking to her sister and
tells her that she agrees that there have been some things that have turned out
the right way for her, but this time it will be different; she promises.
Charitín continues to chide Kika for falling in love with that lout. When she
asks Kika if she has forgotten about what they did to their father…and that
their father was in prison for five years because of Mau’s father…and it wasn’t
a prison in Miami or Caracas, but in Communist China, Charitín scowls that Kika
is crazy to be in love with that lout! After Kika tells Charitín not to call
Mau such an ugly word, Charitín is dismayed that Kika is defending Mau after he
called Kika worse names. Kika agrees that she is defending Mau just a little;
so Charitín thinks Kika is being influenced by her sexual desire…because it
wouldn’t be the first time since Kika’s hormones seem to function better than
her neurons. Kika thinks that if it were sexual, she would have already gotten
over it. When she adds that love is something that comes when you least expect
it, Charitín thinks that Kika is just infatuated, but Kika again thinks that if
it were infatuation, she would have already gotten over it. Kika thinks she is
truly in love with Mau; she may have never stopped loving him since they were
in high school. (And exactly how does the Fabby-Hop fit into this?) Charitín thinks Kika is being stubborn because
she knows Mau will never love her. Kika tells Charitín to be quiet! Kika adds
that she is sure that she and Mau were made for each other…and she will prove
it to Charitín, but Charitín doesn’t care; the idea was for Kika to take
revenge, not to fall in love. Kika then tells Charitín that what happened
between their father and Mau’s father is their (the fathers’) problem; she is
not going to be the vengeful daughter. Charitín responds that Kika continues to
be the same fat girl who never did anything right…but that’s fine; Kika will
see how things will turn out with Mauricio. After Charitín hangs up on her,
Kika thinks Charitín is so bitter!
At Mau’s house, Renée continues rambling, “And me…crazy!
Crazy! I can’t imagine myself with someone who is immature, irresponsible…and a
snob!” When Mau is shocked to be called those three things, he shouts, “You’re
right! It would be impossible for anything to happen between us. If I need the
services of a handywoman, I’ll just look on the web and hire one!” Renée
counters, “It doesn’t surprise me because you couldn’t even change a light bulb
by yourself! That’s why it’s not that strange that you are afraid of an
independent woman! I don’t need you for anything!” Mau finally gives up and
tells Renée, “Enough! This ends here. I have to go to Logatoys to do MANY
things that are VERY important! I am a businessman who is very successful and who
is VERY busy!” Renée, retorts, “Busy? Busy in rebuilding your company because
you made it go to pot!” When Mau reminds Renée that he continues to be the
owner of a factory and that he has a marvelous girlfriend with whom he has a
super relationship…and she is unconditional (Check with Fab....?) and continues
to be the same as before, Renée tells him to shut up and give up his fantasy.
She tells him that it’s best that he leave and go keep an eye on his tropical
girlfriend to see if he can find something out before she does something
against him! And if Kika does something against him, it won’t be her problem;
it’ll be his problem! They continue yelling at each other until Mau shouts, “My
dear…Renée, better known as ‘Cachifa,’ Good-Bye!!”
At Nerón’s house, Nerón is taking care of Milady when
Flor comes in to tell him that she will be making something for him so he can
eat later tonight while he works as a night guard. After Nerón whispers that
Milady won’t miss him because she will be fast asleep, Flor wonders how long
Nerón will be able to withstand being a night guard. She has been thinking that
Nerón should talk to his sons so they can help him pay the fine, but Nerón
refuses because it is his repair shop and he will pay with HIS money; so Flor
stops arguing and tells Nerón he should take a nap so he won’t get sleepy on
the job. Nerón doesn’t want to take a nap because he wants to spend time with
Milady; he doesn’t want to repeat what he didn’t do for his sons.
At Veronica’s house, Veronica complains about all the
mess and now knows why they have mice in the house. When she tells Toño that
she had been smelling something for a while, (But thought it was Toño?) Toño
responds that he didn’t know mice would like hiding under the sink. (Nooo…you
usually discover them in your recliner catching Days of our Lives at 3:00)
Veronica then chides him for not taking the housework seriously; he doesn’t
care! When Toño retorts that he needs practice, Veronica responds that he
should stop pretending that he is on vacation. He needs to be firm with the
children and the house. If the kids are taking advantage of him, it’s because
he just goes with the flow. When Toño tells Veronica that the kids sometimes do
what he tells them, Veronica responds that they may do it “sometimes” but she
is fed up with working double time. She breaks her back during the day at work
just to have to come home and wash dishes, clean the kitchen and cook! (Vero,
he may not bring anything on trade-in, but it is time, Girl.)
After Veronica reminds Toño that they agreed that he
would take care of the home, Toño tells her she doesn’t have to rub it in his
face; he already knows and sees it. After he adds that from this day forward he
will be the househusband and that Veronica will be the official provider for
the family, Veronica nods; and Toño continues that it’s not easy providing for
a home; these are difficult times…no matter how badly her day has been, she
needs to arrive home with a big smile because, for her information, her husband
and her children are not to blame if she had the worst day in her life. After
he asks her if she understands, Veronica remains pensive. (As she is trying to
remember if she still has that Mace in her purse.)
At Logatoys, Mau meets with Falcón who tells him that as soon
as that last edits are made to the designs, they will start producing the toys.
When he asks how soon that will be, Mau responds that it will be very soon.
Fabián interjects that everything should be ready in a couple of days and that,
by Christmastime, all the stores will be filled with their toys. Falcón hopes
that everything will go as well as they expect because his loan has certain
conditions; and, as Mau might understand, he wants his money as soon as
possible. Mau assures him that he will have his money back ASAP. After Falcón
and his troop leave, Jorge tells Mau that they still need to work on the
patent; so Mau asks Fabián about the patents, but Fabián tells him that he
should have told Jorge to take care of it. When Jorge tells Mau that he hasn’t
asked him to work on the patents, Mau is surprised that his designs are not
patented yet.
Outside the neighborhood, Veronica complains to Renée
that she will have to work through her lunch hour to make up the time she spent
at the festival. When Renée tells Veronica that she needs to go pick up Anifer,
Veronica suggests that Renée take turns with Toño in picking up the kids…if
Renée is brave enough to deal with her three little angels. After Renée agrees,
she shares that she kissed Mauricio. Veronica smiles and tells Renée that she
knew it! It was just a matter of time. When Veronica wonders why Renée has such
a long face, Renée tells her that she made a mistake; the kiss should have
never happened. Veronica wonders why, but quickly figures out that it’s because
of Kika. Renée confides that it is because of Kika, but there are many other
things. When Renée asks why people fall in love with those that they shouldn’t
fall in love with, Veronica (looks around for a mirror?) responds that she is
no one to tell Renée that she did right or wrong. After she asks if Renée still
thinks Kika wants to do something against Mau, Renée responds that she is
almost sure Kika is up to something. Veronica then juxtaposes that if Mau finds
out that this woman has ill intentions, he’ll leave Kika and might look to
Renée, but Renée thinks that that will never happen. Veronica wonders if Renée
is sure…and Renée just doesn’t know.
Mau storms into his office followed by Fabián and Jorge.
Fabián can’t believe Mau went to showcase the toys at the Miami festival
without having them patented. Mau then reminds Fabián that he was supposed to
promote to toys without Falcón knowing about it. He continues ranting that,
other than Kika, no one took off with his toys; and in regards to the patents,
no one told him anything. When Fabián retorts that no one should have to tell
him…unless he needs a nanny like his daughter, Mau is shocked and starts
whining that Fabián should tone it down. (Besides assuring there are fresh
diapers for Mau and that his bottle is the right temperature, what does Fabian
actually do?)
Mau asks why Fabián has been so hard on him lately, so
Fabián and Jorge look at each other in disbelief before Fabián
apologizes…Fabián still can’t believe it; they are all idiots. Jorge clears his
throat and tells them to calm down; he can take care of all the paperwork for
the patents.
After Mau orders them not to say a word to Falcón, Jorge
asks if all the designs are there at Logatoys; so Mau responds that some are at
his house, but if Jorge needs them he can go for them. After Jorge leaves,
Fabián again apologizes for losing it, but Mau acknowledges that Fabián was
right…he messed up. Fabián comments that Mau has been distracted and wonders if
it is because of his romance. Mau confides that the other day they had a
fantastic time, but he still has some existential doubts…to be or not to be?
Fabián doesn’t quite understand, so Mau explains that Kika is incredible, but
Renée is suspicious of her just as he (Fabián) is. When Fabián asks if Renée
also told him something, Mau starts rambling that Renée did mention something,
but he has a hard time believing her because she is so confusing. After he adds
that she started yelling and got furious…they kissed…they continued yelling…Fabián
interrupts and asks, “What? You kissed?” Mau responds, “Ugh, no-o-o. It was
just a little kiss.” (If that’s what he calls a little kiss? What would be a
long, hot kiss?).
In the records room, Jorge calls Valentina and asks if
the four of them are home. When he asks about the twins, Valentina tells them
they are there, but are acting strange; they were whispering all the way home.
When she adds that she will not be cooking for the twins and that they can
prepare something for themselves, Jorge tells her to tell Lilí that Lilí will
have to cook too. Jorge thinks that the twins are acting strange because they
just arrived to the city; so Valentina shouldn’t exaggerate and get him
nervous. After they hang up, Jorge watches them on his phone and sees that they
are fine. Meanwhile, Baldo tells Lilí that they need to hide Sami’s and
Valentina’s phones so that they won’t call Jorge; so she agrees as they both
giggle. (The Olympics may be over, but the Siblympics are just starting!)
In her suite, Kika makes a tutorial about reflecting for
her followers. It’s from Kika, the philosopher, because she is not just a
pretty face and a sculpted figure. (So that we understand each other, Kika, you
just wished those plastic mountains into your bra?) Today’s topic is “Should we pay attention to
reason or our hearts?” She asks the audience for their opinion…”duty or love?”
After she finishes, Fabián comes a-knockin’ which takes Kika by surprise. When
Kika tells him he should have notified her that he was coming…since she is not
at everyone’s disposal at whatever time they want, Fabián tells her that he was
not going to risk her saying “no” and demands to know what she is up to with
Mau. Kika silently growls and smiles.
At Veronica’s office, Veronica gets a call from Toño who
wonders if she is busy. When Veronica tells him that she has a meeting in ten
minutes and asks what he needs, Toño, who is washing dishes, reminds her that
today is the deadline for paying the electric bill, the schooling, the second
semester of swimming and the ballet classes. Veronica asks if they all have to
be paid on the same day, so Toño affirms and adds that they have to be paid in
cash and before 7:00 p.m. (Do they not have autopay in Mexico?). He is getting
ready to hang up, but then tells her that she needs to go to the bank before it
closes…in an hour! After he hangs up, Toño laughs…
At Mau’s house, Mau has returned and is looking through a
box for the designs as Renée watches. When she offers to help, Mau refuses and
tells her he is sure he left everything there…somewhere. Anifer wonders why he
just doesn’t tell her what he is looking for so she can help him…he shouldn’t
be stubborn! Mau finally tells her he is looking for the designs where they
made edits to the “Father and Mother” toys. When Anifer describes the tablet he
used and Mau confirms that is what he is looking for, Anifer asks why he wants
it; so Mau explains that he needs to review it so that he can look into the
registration, rights, and other things that are boring for a child such as her.
When he tells her to help him look for it, she tells him that she thinks it is
in her room so she runs off to look for it. In the meantime, Mau and Renée make
an exerted effort not to look at each other until Renée breaks the silence and
asks if he is going to give Anifer credit for the designs when he registers
them and gets the patent. When Mau points out that they are his designs, Renée
recalls perfectly well that Anifer was the one who gave him the idea for the
“Father and Mother;” and Anifer was the one who first sketched them. If he
didn’t get that ingrained in his head, then that’s another thing, but he needs
to have her work recognized. Mau struggles to admit that Anifer did have some
ideas…within her age limitations. When he asks if that will satisfy Renée,
Renée responds “no” and adds that it is not about her; it’s about Anifer having
the original idea and getting the legal recognition she deserves. Renée points
out that this is his daughter’s talent, work, and effort. When she wonders what
will happen if the company succeeds because of those toys and if Anifer will be
given credit, Mau frowns. (Another BIG slurpy kiss, in front of Anifer this time,
might bring him around Renée; try it.)
At Jorge’s house, Samuel and Valentina go to Baldo and
Lilí and ask what they are up to because they are acting very strange. Baldo
responds that it is nothing; they just organized a small party to get to know
their new schoolmates. After Valentina asks if their father knows and Baldo
laughs it off, the guests arrive with refreshments…
At Mau’s house, Mau shows Renée his original drawing and
compares it to the final one with Anifer’s edits. When he states that there is
not much difference, Renée sarcastically remarks that they look identical!
Mau concedes that Anifer’s sketch is not as muscular as
his. When he starts listing more differences, Renée tells him he doesn’t even
know what he is saying. As she points to Anifer’s sketch, she points out that
it didn’t exist when he came up with his version of the father; Anifer changed
how it looks, its name and the templates. When Renée adds that Anifer’s design
should have been patented, Mau concedes that she has won…the “Father and
Mother” have nothing to do with his original design! Anifer’s is much better;
and he doesn’t know why it didn’t occur to him before. Renée nods and smiles as
she tells Mau that the important thing is that he has acknowledged it. When Mau
comments that it doesn’t mean he is going to give Anifer partial credit, Renée
raises her eyebrows as he continues that either way Anifer will benefit because
the money will pay for her schooling, her clothes and her food…since she does
eat a lot! The legal aspect doesn’t matter, Mau is practical and easy. Renée
remarks that Mau won’t always be at Anifer’s side; so it is his obligation to
make sure she is protected as of now. Mau retorts that Renée is killing him and
wonders what she is trying to do. (Kiss extraction, per chance?) Renée explains
that she is trying to make him think ahead; he needs to think of Anifer…she
will not always be a child. Anifer will grow up and need his support to do
whatever it is that she wants to do. His duty as a father is to think of her
future. When Mau points out that Anifer’s future will take many years…a lifetime,
Renée adds that he may not realize it, but being a father is a lifetime job.
At Jorge’s house, the party is in full force. Valentina
complains to Samuel that she doesn’t know what Baldo and Lilí are thinking.
Their father will be furious when he finds out. When she asks Samuel for his
phone because she can’t find hers, Samuel tells her he can’t find his either.
Valentina figures out that Lilí and Baldo hid their phones and reproaches them
for the blowout they are causing. Baldo tells her to calm down and asks if they
have never had a party there. When Lilí tells them not to have such long faces
and that they should join the party and have some fun, she adds that the party
is also for them; it’s like a welcoming to the new school since they are all
new to the school. Valentina thinks that her father will go berserk when he
finds out; and when Sammy agrees that his father will be furious, Baldo shouts,
“That’s the point of this!”
Veronica is busy at her desk when, Tina, the secretary
comes in with some documents that were pending. When Veronica sees the amount
of documents she still has to review, she complains and tells the secretary
that she’ll never get home to see her kids; so she’ll review them the next day,
but the secretary reminds her that she has a meeting with the directors first
thing in the morning. Veronica groans and realizes that the report of the
document review will be needed for the meeting…she won’t get to see her kids
tonight. (And obviously the electricity will be turned off; and her kids will be
kicked out of school, swimming, and ballet?)
At Nerón’s house, Pablo is eating as Nerón tells Flor to
close Milady’s door softly so she won’t wake up. As they tiptoe away, Pablo
comes and asks why he is leaving so early, so Nerón explains that since it is
his first day, he was asked to arrive early. When Pablo reminds Nerón that they
still need to go talk to Jorge about giving him some work there in the
cul-de-sac, Nerón tells him that he shouldn’t be so shy…and he should go by
himself to ask. When Nerón adds that he just needs to keep an eye out for
Jorge’s arrival, Pablo nods and agrees. As Nerón kisses Flor good-bye, he hears
Milady cry out so he rushes to her. Pablo notices how quickly Milady calmed
down when she saw her father; and Flor reminds Nerón that he will be late if he
doesn’t hurry…she will take care of Milady.
At Jorge’s house, the party goes on as Valentina and
Sammy watch the others dance. As Baldo tells one of the boys that they are
waiting for some speakers to make the music louder, the doorbell rings; so Lilí
goes to open the door and sees Pablo. When Pablo tells her that he is there to
see the man of the house, Lilí tells him that Jorge will be arriving very late
and asks if Pablo wants to leave a message. Pablo explains that he just wanted
to tell Jorge that he is looking for small jobs there in the cul-de-sac. Lilí
keeps smiling and tells Pablo that he talks funny. When she asks him where he
is from, Pablo replies that he is from close by and adds that she talks funny
too…he had never heard anyone talk like she does; so Lilí shares that she is
from Tijuana. She invites him in to the party, but Pablo refuses…though he is
VERY happy to have met her. When Lilí goes inside, Pablo could kick himself for
being so stupid…he should have accepted the invitation. (Two words Pabs,
JAIL..... BAIT or LONG....WAIT, your choice)
At Kika’s suite, Kika tells Fabián that this thing about
revenge against Mau is just something the nanny made up just to come between
her and Mau. Fabián tells her he doesn’t believe her; there is something she is
hiding and that is what is motivating him to keep her from going out with Mau.
After Kika asks him if he is also going to tell Mau that he slept with her, she
adds that she can just imagine how Mau will react when he finds out that his
best friend…his brother betrayed him. Fabián smirks and tells Kika that she is
not in the United States. In the Latin countries, the woman is always the one
to lose. When he adds that Mau will think that she is easy…a fox, Kika retorts
that she doesn’t think Mau has such chauvinistic thinking as Fabián does. She
is a liberated woman, not a libertine…but she doesn’t care what Fabián thinks
of her. Fabián wonders if she cares about what Renée might tell Mauricio and
warns her not to underestimate Renée because she could take Mau away from Kika.
Kika smugly asks how Renée would do that… and if she would use voodoo; so
Fabián shares that Mau just told him that Mau and Renée kissed. Kika is not a
happy camper… (As the first salvo of Renée bombs begin to fall around her…)
