At Jorge’s house, Lilí pulls Pablo away from their lesson?
Meanwhile, at Logatoys, Jorge is in his office trying to organize himself, but
stops to check on the kids using the camera app on his phone. Pablo wonders if
someone might see them, but Lilí urges him on. After Lilí responds that no one
is there, she kisses as Jorge watches them on the phone and freaks out. (Viewerville
freaks out that the camera walks around to get the perfect angle for whatever
Peeping Dad wants to see.)
Outside, Fabián yells at Falcón that he will not leave
him talking, but Falcón drives off which leaves Fabián cursing him under his
breath. As he turns back into the building, Fabián apologizes to Renée for the
scene she just witnessed. After he asks her how he can help her, Renée responds
that she is not sure that what she is about to do is a good idea, but since
this is the only way she knows how to do things, she came to talk to him and
she wants to be straightforward. Fabián wonders if it has to do with Mau or his
daughter, but Renée clarifies that it is about the house her mother left her
which is actually under his father’s name. Fabian is taken aback and didn’t
know anything about it. Fabián comments that his father was an associate of the
company and he may have owned some of the properties, but there could have been
a mix-up in the documents. He really doesn’t know and has no idea. Renée
responds that she just wanted to let him know since she is going to try to
straighten things out because she has plans for the house. When she tells him
that she is sure that the house was really her mother’s and that she paid for
it, Fabián agrees and tells Renée that he will look into it too. Renée plans to
continue looking though all the papers; there has to be a receipt or proof of
payment. After Fabián tells her to keep him informed, he rushes off because he
has a meeting with a supplier. As she watches Fabián drive off, Mau comes out
of the building and wonders what she is doing there…not that he doesn’t want to
see her…quite the contrary, he is very happy to see her. Renée responds that
she is there to take care of some business. After she adds that Anifer is with
Rafa so he shouldn’t worry, Mau is envious because, with him, things are as
tense as the chords on a piano. Renée then asks if Mau has Anifer’s surprise
ready and hopes that will help smooth things over with Anifer; so he tells her
that he has had it ready since early in the day…though he isn’t sure if it’ll
be a kamikaze suicide or if something good will come from it.
Veronica and Toño are out with the kids and having hamburgers.
Veronica thinks it was a good idea to go celebrate regardless of whether or not
Tania’s dance was a success. Toño agrees, but wants to take advantage of the
fact that the kids are not close by so he can ask her about her promotion. He
is hoping that she didn’t accept the new job, but Veronica tells him that she
hasn’t accepted or declined; she told them she would think about it. When he
mentions that the family will be “out the window” and asks her to explain
exactly what the situation is, Veronica explains that what they are offering
her is that she take her whole family with her. If that weren’t the case, she
wouldn’t even consider it…she’ll just tell them “no.” When Toño thinks about
the whole family moving together, Veronica adds that she would have to go first
while all the family permits are processed…they would be separated for about
2-3 months. Veronica thinks that it would be a good thing, (As she is as sick
of Toño as we are?) but Toño worries that it would be a huge change for
everyone…another country, another language, and other food. (No Yolanda ???) When
he frets that they would be separated for 2-3 months, Veronica looks disquieted
as they slurp their drinks.
Outside at the cul-de-sac, Rafa asks Anifer if she wants
something else to eat, but she refuses because she already ate a lot of
cookies. Rodrigo laughs and tells her he is going to take her to the gym with
him (Can I go too?). He then tells her that their home will be her home too;
they love being with her so she can go whenever she feels like it. Rafa shares
their secret that they want to have a son or a daughter…and when that happens,
he hopes he will be as brave as she is. When Rafa tells her that they hope to
have a child soon, Anifer asks who the mother will be; so Rodrigo interjects
that they are looking at options. He is about to continue when Anifer states
that she misses her mother very much…and she will never see her again.
Rafa tries to console her and tells her she is not alone;
she has her father who loves her and though she is sad now, with time she will
learn to be happy…with her father. Rodrigo adds that just like she was happy
with her mommy when her father was not there, now it will be the opposite.
Anifer thinks that it won’t be the same because her mother always told her the
truth…but Mauricio only tells her lies. Just then Renée arrives and tells
Anifer that her father has the surprise ready…and she is going to love it…
At the hospital, Nerón meets with a doctor, but he is
starting to regret meeting with him. When the doctor tells him he has received
the results of the tests and will have to send him for more, Nerón complains
about having more blood drawn and compares the doctors to vampires. The doctor
reminds him that they need to check his prostrate because of his age. Nerón is
fed up with “his age” being an excuse…all they do is insist on rubbing it in
his face. Nerón gets up to leave, but the doctor tells him that he still needs
to do the rectal exam. Nerón refuses and tells the doctor he doesn’t want to
get into that; so the doctor tells him that he is acting childish and tells him
to lower his pants and get on the exam table. (Nerón, you are not the first man
who wonders why they are called 'Proctologist' rather than 'Beelzebub')
Nerón again refuses, but when the doctor sternly tells
him to stop clowning around, Nerón complies.
Renée and Anifer enter Mau’s house to see a small stage
set up. Anifer asks what is going on, so Renée tells her to sit down. The top
curtains open to reveal Mauricio who is going to tell Anifer a story of some
royalty and their son, but Anifer wants to leave. When Anifer tells Mau that
she doesn’t want to hear the story, he tells her that he will then tell her a
story about a young prince and his parents. Anifer thinks it’s the same thing,
but Mau explains that though they sound the same, the story can be different
depending on who is telling it…the son or the father. Mau sees that he has
Anifer’s interest, so he starts his story about a little boy who loved to play.
As he continues, Mau drops down and a puppet appears and says, “Papa! Mama! I
want to play with you!”
Anifer looks at Renée and smiles. Mau reappears and continues
that, at first, the mother and father would play with the son often and would
fulfill all his wishes. They would give him palaces, horses, unicorns..with
three heads…golden cell phomes with rubies..but one day…
The father puppet comes out and tells the son that one day
this kingdom will be his; and when he grows up, he will be the king of all the
world. The boy puppet comes out and tells the father that the doesn’t want to
grow up..he wants to play forever! When father replies, “You will grow up and
stop being a kid,” the son repeats, “But I want to play forever!”
Mau appears and states that then the queen’s voice was heard.
The mother puppet appears and says, “I will always play with you, my little
prince, because you will always be my child!” The father puppet tells the
mother, “You cannot lie like that to your son,” but he mother states, “But it
is not a lie.” The puppets disappear and Mau returns and asks Anifer is she
thought the queen was lying to the little prince. Anifer replies, “Yes, because
she wasn’t going to live forever;” so Mau continues that the years passed and one
day, the queen left. Everyone in the kingdom whispered that the queen had left
with the fairies or to the bottom of the ocean with the mermaids.The prince
appears and tells the father, “I’m going to go look for my mother in the
kingdom of the fairies and the mermaids,” but he father tells him, “No! No!
Wait!” The prince and father argue until the father says, “Your mother is not
going to return; she went far away where you will not find her.” Mau appears
and continues that the little prince left and confronted all the monsters and
witches to try to find the queen because he was sure that he was going to find
her. After puppets come out fighting, Mau resumes the story that after many
adventures, the little prince grew up and did not find the queen…not with the
fairies, the monsters, the mermaids, the dragons… not even with the
delegations. Mau then says that the prince returned to the king, but the king
was very old by then…like a raisin who could barely talk. The prince apologized
to the king and told him he was right; the mother had lied to him because he
never found her. Mau then continues that the king was on his last breath when
he smiled at the prince and told him, “No, son, you need to forgive me. Your
mother always spoke the truth, but you didn’t look well enough because you
mother…your mother…went to live in your heart!” Mau appears and tells Anifer
that is how the prince found his mother…in his heart, but he became very sad
because all this time that he spent looking for her…he forgot to play with his
father. The father puppet tells the prince, “It is now I who will go live in
your heart, but I want to tell you something, my son. Whatever happens, never
stop playing.” The prince responds, “But father, if you leave now, who will I
play with?” The father replies, “You own sons will come with whom you will
surely learn new games, but you will also mess up. Maybe you wil hurt them, but
always let them know that it is not intentional…and if you mislead them, it’s
not because you want to see them suffer. You never want to see them suffer.” Mau
then adds that is when a little girl arrived who liked to climb trees like a
monkey, eat green things, and design toys…and they played forever and always.
Anifer remarks that she is not a monkey, but Mau insists that she is his
climbing monkey as he goes to her and carries her (Aww, get the tissue!)
As he looks at her lovingly, he cries, “I’m so sorry, my
little girl. You don’t know how sorry I am. To keep from hurting you, I made a
mistake. Will you forgive me?” Anifer hugs him and says, “I love you very much,
Daddy!”
(Eight Woofers in the RGV are crying too.) As they hug, Renée leaves them alone; and the prince puppet
magically pops up to look at them…then disappears.
In bed, Toño and Veronica discuss the offer for a higher
position. Veronica wonders if Toño is going to be so distant and emphasizes
that she has not yet made a decision. When Toño points out that she didn’t even
let him know…just like with her car, Veronica sighs and tells Toño that she had
a long flight and is very tired…there is no use talking about this now. After
she says good night and turns off the light, Toño turns to her and cuddles
because he wants to make her good night a great night. Veronica wonders if he
is looking for a fight; so Toño is willing to go three rounds, but if she just
wants only one he can oblige. Veronica thinks he is shameless and reminds him
that they are upset with each other…and now he gets close to her. When she
tells him to move over, Toño chides her for leaving him alone…on his side of
the bed. Toño continues that the only thing she cares about is her job; next in
line are the children and then him. Veronica gets upset tells him that he
should know that the most important thing in ther life are the kids…and then
her job…and then him! After hearing Toño’s disappointment, Veronica tells him
she didn’t mean to say that. She tries to apologize, but sees that he is as
cold as an iceberg; so she asks him if he wants to talk. Toño turns away from
her and covers himself up. (Um, Vero, you are Cut Off.....may as well just go
to sleep.)
At Mau’s house. Anifer doesn’t want to go to sleep yet
because she wants to ask Mau something very important. Mau tells her to go
ahead, but this is not a time for interrogations; so Anifer asks him, “How did
my mother die?” Mau responds, “That is not a subject we should discuss when we
are about to go to sleep.” Anifer insists on knowing what happened to her
mother…was she sick; did a snake bite her…because sometimes that’s the way
people in San Crispín die. Mau reminds her that he wants to do things better as
a father, be she must believe him when he says that everything he
does…everything is to protect her, to take care of her; and this is one of
those times. He continues that neither he nor she are ready to discuss that…not
yet. Mau wants to let more time pass…not because he wants to hide things from
her; it’s only because it’s not the right moment yet. When he asks Anifer if
she believes him, Anifer responds, “Yes, I believe you, papa.” Mau then tucks
her in and kisses her good night as Renée watches from the door. Afterwards,
Renée walks behind the puppet stage and rests her head on the stage wall as Mau
comes out and sees her. She claps and tells him that what he did for his
daughter was incredible. She congratulates him…truly, from her heart. Mau walks
toward her and thanks her for everything, but Renée thinks he has nothing to
thank her for. When he tells her that she should know that she doesn’t have to
leave, Renée responds that she does have to leave; the fact that Anifer forgave
him changes nothing between them. As she starts to leave, Mau tells her that he
accepts it…it is only right; so Renée stops and turns to Mau. He shares that he
and Toño launched a “crowdfunding” so that they can start producing the “Papa
and Mama” that Anifer designed. They’ve already started receiving some funds
though they are coming in slowly. Renée is happy for Mau and asks if he found
out anything about the machines that were damaged and if they were closely
investigated…and were they able to prove that there was sabotage. When Mau asks
if they really want to be talking about that, Renée nods and says good night.
The Next Day—
At Jorge’s house,
Jorge hurries the kids so they won’t be late for school. All the kids rush out
except Lilí; so Jorge shouts out to her. When she comes down, Jorge stops her
for a moment and tells her that he knows she lied to him. She didn’t have a sex
education class, at least not in this semester. Lilí argues that whoever told
him that misled him. Jorge doubts it because the person who told him was the
director; so the person misleading him is her. When he asks her if she is
seeing the young guy from the cul-de-sac, Lilí admits she is seeing Pablo and
challenges him. Jorge will not allow any daughter of his to go around with an
undocumented person without a career or benefits. Lilí accuses him of being a
racist, but Jorge doesn’t understand where she gets that idea…she is just
trying to change the subject. After Jorge threatens that she either leave that
young man or he will have him deported to Guatemala, he tells her that they
need to get to school. Lilí walks out as if his threat didn’t phase her.
At a restaurant, Toño attends a parent meeting and is greeted
with a hug from Yola.
As the ladies welcome Toño after he sits down, Yola goes to
sit down and gives Toño a warm look…which seems to be returned by Toño.
At Logatoys, Mau is in his office telling Fabián that they
just need a little bit more money to have what they need in record time. Fabián
wonders if Mau is going to keep the money he is raising; so Mau repsonds that
he will keep it until the deadline ends. Mau cheers and thanks Mexico and the
web. When Fabián admits that he also put in some money…not from the company,
but from his own savings, Mau thanks him and wonders how he could have doubted
him. When Fabián questions that Mau doubted him, Mau tells him that it was just
a matter of hours…or minutes…seconds. Mau wants to forget the past and welcome
the future; so Fabián agrees and thinks they need to look into how to start production.
Mau then wants to make sure there won’t be another accident; they need to be
vigilante so the machines will function…because he has no doubt that someone
wants to stop them.
At the restaurant, Yola and Toño leave together and talk
about the ladies who like to gossip. Yola then tells Toño that the ladies have
a better time when he is there…even she is happy when she sees him. When Toño
wonders if she is still upset because of the meetings he missed or because he
didn’t return her calls, Yola tells him that he must have had his reasons; and
though it hurts her, she respects those reasons. Toño explains that he got
stuck at home because of the typical fights between couples. Yola then shares
that there were so many times when she argued wth her husband that it just
seemed her natural state; even after they divorced, she felt horrible that she
couldn’t argue with him. When Toño wonders how her husband could be angry with
her, Yola gets dreamy-eyed and closes in as she asks Toño if he wouldn’t be
interested in knowing her under different conditions. Toño takes a while before
he gets it… (Tono, under different conditions, like under COVERS, you know
sheets and blankets, ya sexy thang!)
At Logatoys, Mau and his sidekicks are meeting with the
council. Falcón congratulates Mau for the results of his web page and
sarcastically adds that it was such a good idea to put the future of the
company in the hands of strangers. Mau wants Falcón to admit that it was an
ingenious play. Falcón would admit it if his initiative would do them any good,
but one of the council members told him the contrary. While Mr. Palacios gets
up and hands out folders, Mau wants them to do whatever they want, but the “Papa/Mama”
toys will be ready for market by Christmastime. Mr. Palacios states that he is
not going to argue that point; the toy is revolutioary and is well accepted on
the web. When he adds that the toy is already out in the market, Mau’s eyes
open wide as he sees the report and Falcón adds that it is not a Logatoys
brand. Falcón thinks it’s a shame that someone beat him to it. Mau is shocked…
Outside the restaurant. Toño tells Yola that he thinks it’s
best that they no longer talk to each other. When he apologizes, Yola
apologizes too and addds that she was allowing herself to be swayed. Toño
comments that there was no physical contact so nothing really happened, but
Yola moves closer and asks what if there was…as she smacks a kiss on him.
Before she leaves, she smirks and says that now something did happen, but he
shouldn’t worry because this is the last time they will see each other. After
she leaves, Toño looks around to see who was watching.
At Logatoys, Mau wants to know how this happened and who
copied them. He accuses them that they are the ones that are in competition
with Logatoys. When he asks what is going on, Falcón tells him to listen to
himself; it is ridiculous to think that they would want to copy themselves. Mau
insists that aside from this incident, someone damaged the machines on purpose…and
it was an insider; and no one should know it better than Falcón! Falcón is
aghast that Mau would accuse him of the faulty machines. He gets up angrily and
tells Mau that he’d better take back what he said or he will sue him for
defamation. Mau shouts back that he can do whatever he wants, so Falcón retorts
that he will certainly do it as he storms out. After Falcón and his cronies
leave, Mau gets up and asks Jorge and Fabián, “Do I or Do I not have
reason…isn’t it that this lout wants to see us ruined? Of course, he does! I’m
sure he is responsible for all of this!” Fabián thinks that whether or not Mau
likes Falcón, Falcón is their associate, but Mau adds that he may be an
associate, but he knows nothing about him. When Mau asks Fabián where he found
out about thief and what he knows about Falcón that he hasn’t told them, Fabián
is speechless.
At Rafa’s house, Renée is dressed up and Rafa thinks she
looks incredible…all she needs is a big smile. When he adds that he understands
she is probably very nervous, Renée asks, “It’s my professional exam; how do
you expect me to be?” Rafa encourages her and thinks she needs to relax and
enjoy herself. It’s not every day that someone gets the title of mechatronics
engineer. Renée thanks him and comments that though they haven’t known each
other for long, he has been with her in good times as well as bad times. Rafa
would like to accompany her, but he has to go operate on a cat. It would be
nice that someone be with her on such a special day…maybe Anifer…or Mauricio.
Renée shakes her head and comments that she only deals with Mau when it’s about
work. Rafa laughs and thinks that even Renée doesn’t really believe that, but
if she doesn’t want the love of her life to go with her then that’s up to
her….or there could be her father. When he adds that she should continue
looking for him, Renée wonders how she could do that since the only thing she
has is the number on his file and they told her he didn’t live there. Rafa then
asks how she can give up without investigating further. When he adds that her
father might be the flirty type and it could have been his wife that answered
thinking that it was one of his “friends,” Rafa points out that she really
doesn’t know if he lives there or not. Renée thinks that could have been the
case, but she will have to think about it later because she has to go or she
will be late for her exam.
At school, Tania and Anifer play with their Barbies and talk
about how they enjoy them. When Anifer mentions that she wants to be a designer
and asks Tania what she wants to be, Tania confides that at first she wanted to
be a veterinarian, then she wanted to be a ballerina, but now she thinks she
wants to be a soccer player. (Good call T)
Anifer thinks it’s great, but Tania thinks that her dad won’t like it.
Anifer responds that it doesn’t matter; Tania can be whatever she wants to be!
At the college, Adriana introduces Renée who is about to
defend her thesis. Renée goes to the front and starts to explain about her
robot that is designed to help children with special needs. She continues to
explain about her “KR15” robot, its capabilities, and how it will benefit those
for whom it is designed .
At Logatoys, Mau repeats that they know nothing about Falcón
or his megacompanies…or if he has worked elsewhere. They don’t even know if he
has family…he is a mystery of life, as if he were Spiderman! When Fabián
assures Mau that Falcón has nothing to hide, Jorge asks if Fabián would be
willing to share all the information he has; so Fabián assures him that he
clearly would. Fabián reminds Mau that Falcón is a renowned businessman; and as
for the faulty machines, Fabián wonders what Falcón would gain from that. Mau
replies that is exactly what he wants to find out; so they will do exactly what
Falcón has been doing with him—not lose sight of him, follow him and spy on
him. Fabián can’t believe that Mau is serious and doesn’t think it is a good
idea. Mau insists that they will follow him as if he owed them money; they need
to know who the hell is Falcón! (With
Daddyhood comes an upgrade to Brain 2.5, Mau)
Outside Logatoys, Falcón drives off as Mau and Fabián rush
down the stairs and follow him in Fabián’s bright yellow car (that certainly
wouldn’t be spotted….uh-huh!).
At the college, Renée continues her presentation about the
benefits of the KR15 robot which include saving time and energy and it will
also put Mexico in the forefront of technology.
At the school, Lilí tells Pablo that she doesn’t know how
Jorge found out. Pablo thinks it could have been one of her siblings, but Lilí
doesn’t think so; furthermore, Jorge threatened them with having him deported.
She has been thinking that she can tell Jorge that they are no longer going
around, but they can continue seeing each other, though they will have to be
more careful. Pablo isn’t sure; he doesn’t want to make trouble for her and he
doesn’t want to get deported. (You have options Pablo, deported, or caught
shagging a minor, which will it be?)
At the college, Adriana announces that Renée has passed the
professional exam for mechatronics engineer. After everyone claps, Adriana
continues that because of her academic excellence, the judge has granted her
the status of “Honorable Mention.” As everyone claps again, Adriana
congratulates Engineer Sanchez and Renée looks over to the screensaver on her
laptop that has a picture of her with her mother.
On the road, Fabián and Mau think they have lost Falcón as
they come to a stop. Just then, Mau gasps and cringes back as he tells Fabián
that Falcón is right next to them, so Fabián shifts gears and goes backward.
After Mau tells him not to lose Falcón, Fabián drives forward, but then Mau
gasps again and Fabián quickly stops because an older woman is crossing the
street; so Mau gets out of the car and helps her cross safely. (After helping the little old lady, Curly hops back in Moe's
Middelton Mustang, but Larry has escaped by then.) Once finished and back in the car, Mau still tells Fabian to
“hit it,” but they get a red light.
Sitting at the gazebo in front of their house, Renée tells
Anifer that she was so excited that she passed her certification and got an
honorable mention…she almost fainted from all the emotion. She felt a mixture
of emotions…gratitude, happiness, pride…it was a beautiful day; the only thing
missing was her mother. Anifer tells Renée that she misses her mother very
much; so Renée tells her that when they miss their mothers and they can’t be
with them, the best thing to do is think of all the good things that happened
when they were with them. As she continues that it is difficult, Rafa and Flor
walk up with Milady and sit with them. When Flor asks how her exam went, Renée
shares that she already has her certification…she is now an engineer. Flor
reproaches Renée for not telling them that she was going for the exam…they
would have gone to give support. As a punishment, Flor is going to take Renée
to celebrate that she is a professional engineer. Just then, Veronica arrives;
so Rafa tells her that Flor is organizing a celebration for Renée since she
just got her diploma for mechatronic engineer. Veronica agrees that they should
celebrate but Veronica can’t do it right now because she has things to do; she
can, however take Renée to celebrate later. Renée starts to refuse to go with
Flor because she has to take care of Anifer, but Anifer volunteers to stay with
Rafa. Rafa is more than happy to stay with Anifer and Milady; so Flor
challenges Renée to go with her.
Veronica enters her home and calls out for Toño who is
surprised to see her there so early. Veronica tells Toño that she asked for the
afternoon off because she doesn’t feel right…she can’t stop thinking about
their discussion from last night. Toño thinks it’s more of what she denied him,
but she has every right to because if she doesn’t want to do it, he is no one
to tell her that they should make up. Veronica goes to Toño and kisses him
passionately, but he complains because his mouth is full of food.
Veronica holds his hand as she tells him tha she loves him;
though she may have a thousand things on her mind and she goes around like a
crazy woman all day, she wants to show him that she loves him. She tells him
that she wants to be honest with him just like he is honest with her. She again
tells him that she loves him and kisses him again. As she starts to leave, Toño
blurts out that Yola gave him a kiss on the mouth which leaves Veronica in
disbelief… (Proving once again that a
box of rocks is FAR smarter by any comparison.)
