Caray, Caray!

Or Mauricio is Finally a "Father"

In Miami, Kika has decided the best way to keep Mauricio at her side (possibly) is with an ultimatum: stay in Miami with her or risk losing her large investment for Logatoys; the choice is his. Mauricio looks shocked.


At Neron’s, Flor is also shocked to see Neron has dyed his hair jet black. Neron smiles wide and Flor looks slightly happy to see this change.



She warns him not to get any on his skin because it won’t come off and Neron nods. He then asks her to make him breakfast because he must go see about a gym membership so that he can get back in tip top shape. Flor can’t hide her slightly amused, but loving smile, as she goes to the kitchen.

At Logatoys, the father/mother dolls are being made according to Mauricio’s specifications but one of the workers asks the assembly line to stop because some of the dolls are coming out defective. He gives the dolls to his supervisor, who nods and goes to turn off the assembly line while they fix the problem. As he does, the whole machine catches fire and the employees run to spray the fire with a fire extinguisher or the machines will be permanently damaged.




Mauricio is appalled that Kika would make him chose between her and his daughter but Kika only asks for some time to work on their relationship, alone. Mauricio reminds her that she’s blackmailing him, in Miami, Mexico or China, but Kika insists that she’s a woman in love and wants to be with him. Mauricio reminds her that he’s and Anifer are a packaged deal, especially if she “loves” him but Kika just wants some time with him to work on her investment while Anifer is safe and sound with the maid in Mexico. Mauricio doesn’t think that is what she meant and asks her point blank: does she want to be the mother that Anifer needs? Kika is saved by the bell as Mauricio receives a call from Gladys, who informs him of what happened at Logatoys. Mauricio curses his luck.

At the police station, the police read the Turrubiantes children Jorge’s charges and asks if they are true. Baldo insists that it is, and Jorge has constantly abused and even hit them, but Valentina and Samuel don’t agree. Baldo thinks they are just scared, as Jorge is very imposing, and insists Jorge is abusive. Jorge stands in the back and watches as his own children try to put him in jail.

Mauricio tells Kika about what happened at the factory and she is surprised. Mauricio insists that he needs to return to Mexico right now but Kika tells him to call Fabian, who’s job it is to take care of those things. Mauricio reveals that he is on a well-developed vacation and Kika thinks he should call Falcon. Mauricio insists he must resolve the problem personally and Kika asks him to sit down and take a breather. She reminds him that soon, thanks to her investment, he will be able to get rid of all useless vultures around him, like Falcon, and run Logatoys from Miami. Just then, an employee comes in with documents for Kika to sign so she can finalize her investment. Before she can, Mauricio decides he cannot accept her money, as he already feels like a prisoner, and asks her to do whatever she wants with it, including burying it in the desert.


Jorge speaks with the detective and insists he would never abuse his children, but the detective tells him that there are various charges against him. Jorge explains that he is firm, yes, and tries to control his family, but he is not abusive. The detective reveals that Rodrigo Conde says otherwise and Jorge explains that Rodrigo is lying just to get revenge.

At home, Veronica gets ready for work as Tono begs her to forgive him because he was angry for no reason. Veronica is sick and tired of his bad attitude but Tono asks her to let sleeping dogs lie and Veronica promises to talk later, after work. Tania walks in then and suggests they skip school, as they are already late, but Veronica pushes her out the door and screams for Ernesto and Fidel to get ready, now!

Neron arrives at the gym and tells the trainer that he wants to starting working out right now. The trainer is happy to hear it and tells him that they will start slow and then go fast. Neron smiles wide and tells Arnold Schwarzenegger that he will be just like him in a few weeks.



The detective speaks to Samuel and Baldo by themselves, as Jorge sits a few feet away, and explains that Jorge is not abusive but did close the door on his hand, by mistake. Jorge nods as he hears this, but the detective looks unconvinced.

Tono and his three children run into the school and beg the teacher to let them inside. She does as another mother and her son come running. She lets them all in but asks Tono and the mother to not let it happen again. When the teacher goes inside, the mother confines in Tono that she was late again because of her ex-husband and Tono admits that he’s late because of his own doing. Just then, another kid runs by them, super late, and they shake their heads. The conversation then turns to Tono and Veronica’s botched anniversary celebration and he explains how bad he messed up. The mother suggests he tone it down and reveals that she got divorced because her own husband won’t stop nagging her.

Valentina and Lili talk with the detective and Valentina explains that she didn’t see Samuel’s accident, but her father would never intentionally hurt them, regardless of how strict he is. Lili explains that Jorge did hit Baldo though and the detective realizes that Lili doesn’t talk about Valentina and Samuel like siblings, only Baldo. Lili tells the detective the whole story about Jorge and her mother as Jorge stands close by, listening.

Kika asks Mauricio to reconsider his decision but Mauricio won’t change his mind, as he is trying to be responsible and self-sufficient. Kika still thinks he’s exaggerating and begs him not to throw away their relationship and engagement but Mauricio thinks they moved to fast. Either way, she wants him all the time, but he only has time for Anifer. Kika is quiet and Mauricio confesses that he misses Anifer terribly so it’s best he leave right now. He goes to his room to pack as Kika’s eyes water.

In school, Ernesto, Fidel and their friends, challenge Tania, Anifer and their friends to see who can climb a tree in their schoolyard the fastest.


At the foundation, Renee finishes her class and Sonia goes to ask how things went. Renee tells her that there were only a few students, but they participated though Sonia thinks something is wrong as she’s too serious and quiet. Renee shakes her head and tells her it’s nothing serious, so Sonia shares some good news: she spoke with a very important businessman and told him about Renee’s master program and he wants to help her. Renee thanks her but explains that Logatoys is already helping her but Sonia gives her his card either way, just in case. Sonia then asks about Logatoys and Renee assumes things are going well (but her face shows that she “hopes” they are but doesn’t really know).

Tono goes to surprise Veronica at work with balloons and roses. Her secretary tells her that she’s in a meeting but will be out soon and Tono begs her to let him wait in her office because he’s Veronica’s husband and wants to surprise her for their anniversary. The secretary, Tina, listens and considers this (I see why Veronica fell for him, that spiel weaves straw into gold).

Jorge explains to the detective his version of the events regarding Samuel and Baldo. A few feet away, Pablo arrives and asks Lili what happened. Lili confesses that Jorge was arrested for abuse and she’s happy he was; she hopes they put him in a jail for a bit, so he reconsiders his attitude. Pablo would never do that to his father and, more importantly, he reminds her that all four of them may go to a group home if there is no one to care for them.


A sweaty Neron arrives home, cringing from the pain, and tells Flor that he will soon have a great body that she will love. Flor just stares and then he asks about Milady. Flor tells him that she’s sleeping but Neron worries his daughter will forget him. Flor asks him not to worry and sleep as he has work that night. Neron nods and all but crawls to the bedroom as Flor smiles.



Ernesto and Anifer get ready to climb and go up the tree faster than a speeding bullet. Ernesto can barely keep up as Anifer reaches the middle of the tree and declares that she wins because he’s tired. Anifer, however, decides to keep climbing even as Ernesto begs her to stop and come down.


Tono throws balloons all over Veronica’s office, puts roses on her desk, and gets ready to greet her. When she comes in with Sebastian, Tono opens his “Forgive me, my love” poster and blows on a party blower. Sebastian thinks he’s a stranger and calls security, but Veronica reveals that he’s her husband and smiles. Tono, however, is shocked to see her so close with Sebastian.



At the station, Jorge begs the detective to let them go but the detective gets all four children together and asks them, in front of Jorge, if their father abuses them. Baldo nods and tells the detective that he does, and the detective asks Lili to confirm Baldo’s story. Jorge begs her to say the truth and Baldo begs her to say the truth (who will win?)

Tono and Sebastian get into a handshake match and reveal to Veronica that they met during a bar fight with Mauricio, though Sebastian doesn’t immediately remember him.



He then decides to go and, once alone, Veronica reveals that she didn’t expect him but is happy to see him. Tono knows she didn’t, as he surprised her laughing with Sebastian, but Veronica explains that he is the son of a very important partner at the company. Tono tries to nag her again but Veronica demands he be quiet and asks him if he’s there to celebrate their anniversary or discuss her co-workers. Tono apologizes and goes in for a neck nibble, which Veronica more than welcomes and asks him to do again.


Lili is quiet for a moment and states that Jorge did slap Baldo, but he only did it because Baldo was rude and insolent. She explains that Jorge is not a violent man and Baldo only said those things because he’s mad. Baldo storms off then and Jorge nods, thanking her for telling the detective the truth.

Ernesto manages to climb down the tree as Anifer reaches the highest point and declares the girls are the winners. All the kids beg her to come down as the teachers arrive and scream for Anifer to stay still as they call the firefighters to help.


 Anifer tells them that she can climb down by herself and begins to do so but slips and falls face first on the grass. Everyone screams.
At Logatoys, Renee visits Gladys to ask her about the financial standing of Logatoys, since she knows everything. Gladys tells her that she can’t right now, as there was a problem with the toy production and there is no one to call. Renee suggests she tell Falcon and Gladys runs off, after making Renee promises not to touch anything, to see if he can help. Once alone, Renee runs behind her desk, grabs Mauricio’s office keys, and goes to open the office, with a big smile on her face.



The teachers direct the paramedics to where Anifer is lying down and tell them that she fell from the highest branch. As the kids ask her how she feels, the paramedics begin to help her.



Later, Lili tries to reason with Baldo and tells him that Jorge has taken care of them, as best he can. Baldo reminds her that Jorge did slap him, but Lili tells him it wasn’t as serious as he said. Lili then begs him to consider the consequences if Jorge goes to jail but Baldo can’t believe his own sister betrayed him. He storms off as Lili sighs. A few feet away, Jorge explains to the detective that he hit Baldo because he lost control, and was trying to keep order, but he’s not violent or abusive; he just has four teenagers living in his house. The detective nods but tells him he will have to confront Rodrigo in from of him to see who’s telling the truth. Just then, Rodrigo arrives and declares that he’s ready for whatever.



Renee opens the file cabinets in Mauricio’s office and looks through them but can’t find anything. She then tries to get into his computer but finds that it has a password. After a moment, Gladys walks in and demands to know why she’s in there because she could get fired if Mauricio found out.


Renee explains that Mauricio gave her permission to use his computer for some schoolwork she has and doubts he will get mad because she takes care of Anifer. Renee then asks if she knows Mauricio’s password, but Gladys thinks she should’ve asked Mauricio. As Renee stumbles for an explanation, Anifer’s teacher calls and tells Renee about Anifer’s accident.

As Tono and Veronica kiss on her desk, he asks if she’s happy with her surprise. She is, and he goes in for a deeper kiss, but Veronica reminds him they are in her office and should behave. Tono reminds her that she has a desk and they could snuggle but Veronica thinks her boss will catch them and go ballistic. Tono thinks that’s part of excitement and kisses her again.

Rodrigo tells the detective that he has no concrete proof about Jorge’s abusive behavior, but he is Jorge’s neighbor and drew conclusions based on what he saw. Jorge can’t believe Rodrigo and his “husband” could accuse him without proof but he knows they did it because they are degenerates. The detective declares that Jorge has no right to judge Rodrigo on his personal life, but Rodrigo has no proof about Jorge’s abusive behavior Jorge is free to go. However, a social worker will visit him and his children to interview them, just to make sure there is no abuse. Jorge thanks him and leaves with the kids as Rodrigo considers who is lying.

Tono continues to kiss Veronica but his excitement dies as soon as she reveals that she must make another trip to Monterrey and will be going more frequently because she’s in charge of managing the personnel in that branch. Tono is shocked and annoyed and begs her not to go but Veronica thinks it’s a great honor and she will go. Tina then calls Veronica to tell her that Sebastian is waiting for her in the conference room and Veronica tells her she will be right there and leaves with Tono, who is annoyed at being interrupted again.

Mauricio arrives in Mexico and calls Gladys, who tells him that Falcon needs to speak with him immediately. Mauricio asks her to schedule a board meeting and then hangs up. He sees a message from Renee and reads that she texted him the address to the hospital where Anifer is because she had an accident. Mauricio runs off immediately but doesn’t notice that he has left his suitcase behind.



At the board meeting, Falcon taps his fingers and wonders where Mauricio is.


He goes to find Gladys and demands she call Mauricio, again, because he can’t keep waiting. She insists that he’s on his way, but Falcon can’t believe Mauricio has disappeared on the worst day.


At the hospital, Renee explains to Mauricio what happened and he’s shocked that the teachers let Anifer climb a tree. He declares that he will take her out of that school today and put her somewhere, but Renee reminds him that Anifer loves to climb trees and it’s no one’s fault as Anifer almost fell when they found her months ago as well. Mauricio nods as the doctor comes and explains that Anifer is better and they ran all the necessary tests but found no internal trauma, just a fractured leg and arm. Mauricio can’t imagine how much worse things could’ve been, but the doctor tells him Anifer was lucky and will make a speedy recovery. Renee and Mauricio smile and the doctor explains that Anifer is sleeping now but they can see her for a moment as she will be in observation until tomorrow, at least.

Moments later, Renee and Mauricio visit Anifer, quietly, and Mauricio smiles when he sees his daughter.


He laughs and tells Renee that he left his suitcase god knows where because he ran to the hospital as soon as he heard her message. Renee nods and smiles as she looks at Mauricio, who tries to push a lock of hair off her face but Renee steps back and tells him she will go get him something to eat. As she walks away, Mauricio goes to Anifer and kisses her in the forehead.


He then smiles wide when she wakes up and asks her how she feels. She confesses that her arm and leg hurts, and Mauricio reveals that she fell from a tree. Anifer shakes her head and declares the tree broke because she doesn’t fall. Either way, Mauricio asks her to practice a safer hobby, like riding roller coasters, and makes her promise to never try to fly again. She agrees and then asks why he’s back so soon. Mauricio explains that he doesn’t like to party that much anymore, and he had a bad time in Miami because of her. Anifer wonders why and Mauricio can’t explain it but tries: he confesses that he loves her, very much, and can’t bear to be away from her for long. Anifer smiles and tells him that she loves him too. Mauricio asks for a moment, steps away from the bed and cheers before asking Anifer to call him “dad.”


Anifer does and Mauricio asks for another moment to cheer again.


He then promises that, no matter who they are with, she calls him “dad.” Anifer promises she will and Mauricio can’t help but smile as tears form in his eyes, not from sadness or anger, but from pure joy…
