Caray, Caray!

Or "What Was the Point of All of This?"

Or Let's Be Honest....Kika is the Real MVP

As Renee and Maria put Maria’s bags in Fabian’s car, Fabian texts his henchman to watch Renee, and then demands Maria help him find Anifer and Mauricio or both of them will pay for their crimes, dearly. Maria tells Fabian that she has no idea where they are, and she had nothing to do with Mauricio’s actions, but Fabian hopes she was smart enough not to defy him and risk losing Anifer. Both Maria and Renee wonder what to do.

At Jorge’s, Dulce calls her contact to confirm if Isauro is still in jail. She confirms that he is and awaiting trial so Dulce smiles because there is no way he is getting out ever.

Lili is walking home with groceries when she runs into her school friends. Lili uses the grocery bag to hide her stomach as her friends greet her, surprised that she came back from Tijuana, and invite her to go eat with them that night. Lili tries to get out of it but they kiss her goodbye, make her promise to come, and run off. Lili sighs deeply.

Rafael and Rodrigo help Manuela with her homework and instruct Ryan to come do his with them too so they can help. Ryan whines that he doesn’t want to do it now but Rodrigo asks him to cooperate so all of them can be together, as a family, and help each other. Ryan nods and goes to get his books as Rafael reminds him that he still has to apologize to Ernesto for hitting him.

Jorge visits Renee and she informs him of what Mauricio did. Jorge confirms that the police can arrest and accuse Mauricio of kidnapping and Renee shakes her head. She then asks him what happened to his face, which is all bruised up, and Jorge tells her how it happened last night, from the beating to the car robbery to Dulce kicking him out. He tells her that he’s fine though, despite everything, and Renee laments his dilemma. Jorge nods but then goes back to Mauricio, who needs their legal help, because he’s going to be in trouble if he doesn’t come back. Renee thanks him for his help but can’t believe this is happening.

Mauricio and Anifer arrive at his father’s cabin but they can’t open the locked door and Mauricio doesn’t have a key. Mauricio asks her for a bobby pin, so he can MacGyver the door, but she doesn’t have anything, so he choses to kick the door open but changes his mind. Anifer thinks they should just use the open window to climb into the cabin, as her mother would, and Mauricio tries to play off the fact that he is brainless. He barely climbs into the window and then opens the door for Anifer, who takes one look around the dusty, sheet covered cabin, and tells him that she likes. She wonders why they didn’t go to the cabin, which reminds her of her home in San Crispin, when he first sold his penthouse and Mauricio explains that it’s too far away from civilization and missing all the modern amenities. Anifer doesn’t care and Mauricio declares that he will do anything for her, including live in this cabin but Anifer wants to know when Renee and Maria will join them. Mauricio hesitates then realizes that his cell phone is out of battery, so he goes to charge it, but finds that they have no electricity either.

At Mauricio’s, Renee calls him again but it goes directly to voicemail so she goes to her computer to search for something.

At Tono’s, Tono tells Veronica and Esperanza that he found a comedy club that has an amateur night so he’s signing up. The women shake their heads and Veronica then goes to answer the door. It’s Rafael with Ryan and Manuela and they are looking for Ernesto so Ryan can tell him something. Tono and Veronica ask Ernesto come down and he obliges. After a moment, Ryan looks at Ernesto and huffs but Rafael urges him to do the right thing and Ryan apologizes. Ernesto shrugs and tells everyone that everything is forgiven before shaking Ryan’s hand. Everyone smiles.

Fabian takes Maria to Anifer’s new room in his house and declares that an interior designer designed it and it’s full of the best things for his daughter. Maria tells him that they need to add a bed for her but Fabian proposes that she sleep with Anifer’s, for the time being, and then get into his bed and help him form a family, however they can. Maria cringes and tells him that she doubts it will ever happen though Fabian is sure it will.

Renee asks Veronica to let her borrow the car and she obliges but urges Renee to be careful, even if she can’t say what she’s doing or where she’s going. Renee promises to tell her soon and drives off. Outside of the cul-de-sac, Fabian’s henchman sees Renee drive away and gets in his own car to follow her.

That night, Renee drives down a road as Fabian’s henchman follows with her realizing it.

In the cabin, among a roaring fire and candles, Anifer hugs Mauricio and asks him for a story, a scary one, but Mauricio thinks she will get too scared. Anifer thinks he’s the scared one but then Mauricio sees headlights and runs off with Anifer to hide behind the couch. Moments later, Renee walks in and Anifer jumps up to go hug her as Renee looks at Mauricio, wondering how he could be so stupid.

Valentina meets with Kika at the cul-de-sac park and Valentina confesses that she’s glad Kika and Jorge broke up because he’s not worth it. Kika chides her for talking about Jorge like that because she’s seen how hard it has been for him to change, but he has in his own way. Valentina confesses that Jorge lied to her about her godfather too, and how he wanted to sent her to juvie, but Kika reminds her that he was different then, though she can’t excuse his actions, she understands. Valentina wonders why she broke up with him, if she defends him so much, and Kika explains that Jorge is different as a father than lover. Dulce arrives then and demands to know what Valentina is doing with the Peruvian chick. Kika makes it clear, again, that she’s Venezuelan and activates her shield of stupidity to block Dulce’s insults. Valentina is caught in the middle, a young adults in the middle of two children.

Fabian’s henchman informs him of where he followed Renee and Fabian realizes that he knows exactly where the cabin is and confirms that Mauricio is as dumb as a bag of nails. He tells his henchman to take care of it and then hangs up as Maria arrives and thanks him for not calling the police. Fabian reminds her that he is just trying to make sure his family is happy and safe and is waiting for the time when they can all be together as a family.

Sometime later, Renee and Mauricio sit by the fire and Mauricio tells her that he’s missed her dearly and hopes they never have to be apart again. Renee gives him a kiss but hopes he doesn’t do something as crazy as kidnapping Anifer again. She then asks for Anifer’s bag, sees it and throwing it into the fire. Mauricio demands to know what is going on but Renee promises to explain everything later as Anifer comes and asks about Maria. Renee wonders what to say as Mauricio blocks Anifer’s view of the fireplace.

At the comedy club, Tono gets up and begins to tell a joke about how he gave up his office life but no one laughs, except Veronica, who claps and helps him along. Tono whispers that being a comedian is going to be harder than he thought.

Renee thinks Mauricio should bring Anifer back to Maria, for now, but Mauricio doesn’t want to because that would mean that he would take her back to Fabian, who would be anything but a good father. Renee understands but the law is on Fabian’s side and they to think things through, especially for Anifer. Mauricio thinks they will be happy in the cabin, living away from the city, under the stairs, and Renee thinks she could be happy, but they need to resolve their issues first. Mauricio smiles and gives Renee a kiss before declaring that he is shocked to see he is the happiest man and the happiest father ever. Anifer then comes and asks if they are going to help her with dinner or kiss all night. Mauricio and Renee laugh.

Valentina begs Dulce to take her home and tries to push her away from Kika but Dulce is going in for the kill. She warns Kika to stay away but Kika is going to do whatever she wants to do, not what Dulce wants. Dulce begins to raise her voice as Neron and Flor come over with Milady and invite them to go for a walk in the park. Dulce screams that she has class, and Flor and Neron are living in sin, so she will not walk with any of them. She then turns her attention back to Kika, and screams that she will stay away or else, but Kika doesn’t want to fight with her anymore. Flor is tired of Dulce’s attention though and, after asking Neron to hold their baby, she grabs Dulce hair, pulls her to the ground and proceeds to show her who’s boss.


Neron passes the baby onto Valentina so he can try and break up the fight and Valentina passes it to Kika so she can help.



Meanwhile, Kika covers Milady’s eyes because she’s too young to see her mother beat the attitude out of Dulce (LOL!)



At the cabin, Anifer reminds Renee and Mauricio that they didn’t bring water and she’s thirsty. Renee offers to bring her some water later on but proposes she go get ready for bed in the meantime. Anifer gets the hint and goes to put on her pajamas as Renee and Mauricio go in for a kiss. Their happiness is short lived though as the police begins to pound on the door. They demand Mauricio open up and he begs them to be careful because his daughter is in the cabin. As soon as Mauricio opens the door, the police put Mauricio in handcuffs and take everyone to the police station, despite Renee’s and Anifer’s protests that Mauricio did nothing wrong because he is Anifer’s father.

Neron manages to get Flor, who screams that Dulce had no right to embarrass Baldo, off of Dulce but neither has given up, especially Flor, who knocks Neron out by mistake. He hits the floor like a rock as Dulce grabs Valentina and runs off. Kika runs to Flor as Neron screams that he is going to be a cripple his whole life.

Fabian talks to his henchman and confirms that everything has gone according to plan and Mauricio has been arrested. Maria comes and Fabian informs her of what happened though Maria lets it slip that Renee knew where Anifer and Mauricio were and so did Maria. Fabian can’t believe she was stupid and warns her to stop doing stupidities or else. He then goes with her to the police station to pick up Anifer.

Tono is still trying to make anything laugh as Veronica takes picture and video and tries not to laugh. Some of the guests get up and leave as Tono tries another joke on the increasingly annoyed crowd. Only Veronica continues to smile and laugh but Tono asks her to stop because no one is going to laugh, except her, who even laughs when he undresses (not a peep from anyone). He tries another joke about a desert island but the owner of the club thanks him for his time but kicks him off the stage regardless before telling jokes himself. At their table, Tono tells Veronica that it’s very hard to tell jokes, harder than he thought.

Pablo arrives home and finds it empty. He is shocked that Lili is out but then receives a call from Flor, who asks him to come to the hospital by the cul-de-sac, quick. He considers this.

At the restaurant, Lili eats with her friends and they note that she looks fatter, to which Lili agrees. They then notice a young, pregnant woman walking by, criticize her, and then ask Lili if she’s going anywhere on vacation. Lili thinks she may go back to Tijuana as the girls continue talking about their own vacations.

At home, Valentina asks Dulce about what happened with Baldo as Samuel hugs her. Dulce tells Valentina everything but Valentina finds no difference between what she tried to do to Baldo and what Jorge did to her. Samuel can’t believe Dulce did that but Valentina reiterates that Dulce is just as bad as Jorge and hopes he stays with Kika because she treats them better. Valentina then storms off as Dulce tries to call her back.

At the police station, Renee hugs Anifer as Maria comes with Fabian and runs to her. Fabian is not surprised to find Renee there and then the police call them over to confirm that Renee is Anifer’s aunt and, therefore, not kidnapped like Fabian reported. Fabiana agrees but then tells Maria that he wants to leave with Anifer right now because a police station is no place for a child. Anifer doesn’t want to leave without Mauricio though so Fabian promises to get his lawyer to help and that way they can go home. Anifer agrees so Fabian whispers something to his lawyer as Renee waves goodbye to Anifer. She begins to cry, wondering how things could go so wrong, so quick.

In his cell, Mauricio talks to Jorge about what happened but he doesn’t think he kidnapped anyone. Jorge explains that Fabian’s lawyer, on top of the kidnapping, also let the police know he may be implicated in a drug situation so they need to be careful with what they say. First thing’s first, they have to get Mauricio out of jail and then find someone who can help them defeat Fabian. Mauricio suggests they find Falcon but Jorge reveals that Falcon and his son haven’t been seen since they left.

At Neron’s, Pablo helps him sit on the couch as he now has a cast and is walking around with a crutches. Flor thinks it was great of Kika to pay the whole hospital bill, especially because she thought Kika wasn’t nice, but it turns out she is. Neron promises to pay her back every sent but Flor suggests he take it as a gift and that’s that. Neron nods and Flor then thanks Pablo for helping them and Pablo leaves after saying goodbye to everyone including Milady, who is now walking. Once alone with Flor, Neron wonders who will take care of the shop and Flor proposes that she do it, while he takes care of Milady, and smiles.

At Tono’s, Veronica serves him up some food as they talk about the comedy show. Veronica tells him that it’s hard to make strangers laugh, even if he makes everyone else laugh unprofessionally, and suggests he learn how to do comedy and take classes, etc. She promises not to let him give up and Tono thanks her for her support. He eats more tacos as they discuss the best way to go about making him a professional comedian. She then gives him a kiss and he accepts it with a smile.

Pablo waits around the house for Lili when she arrives, fresh as life, and Pablo demands to know where she was and with who. Lili explains that she went out with friends but Pablo asks her to be considerate because he works all day and the least she can do is be home when he arrives. Lili demands he calm down because she is not his prisoner so she can go out whenever she wants. Pablo thinks she should at least learn how to cook, if he works all day, to pay for their room and board. Lili doesn’t think their room is big enough either way but Pablo reminds her that this is all he has money for and she should get used to it, or not.

Everyone from the cul-de-sac gathers at Neron’s to talk about Mauricio’s situation. They all agree his actions were wrong but his heart was in the right place. Neron thinks they must work on the cooperative company, now more than ever, and Jorge thinks they have an uphill battle ahead because they must prove Fabian is dangerous and take away his rights but Rodrigo tells them that there is something else: the police is com8ng tomorrow to follow up 9n the drug bust from yesterday. They all complain, resolve to find out what is happening with all the drugs in the neighborhood and then Jorge asks Rodrigo to come outside with him, so they can talk privately.

Sometime later, Pablo remind Lili that he never lied to her and he could only give her what he could. Lili nods but she never thought it would be that hard. He reminds her that they have to hanker down and work hard because they are having a kid but Lili thinks they should ask for help, if it comes to that, but Pablo wants to make it on his own. If not, he suggests they move back in with Jorge and Neron instead of living a life they hate.

At the gazebo, Jorge tells Rodrigo about the drugs Fabian put in Anifer’s bag but they sadly have no proof so they cant help Mauricio get out of ja.

Renee visits Mauricio to tell him that Maria and Anifer went home with Fabian and Mauricio cant believe he was so stupid. He thinks he is the same airhead he always was but Renee thinks he’s changed and Anifer will never love Fabian like she loves him. Mauricio thinks Fabian has his owns ways to gain Anifer’s love but Renee reiterates that he will not and they declare their love for each other.

In Anifer’s room at Fabians house, Fabian shows her around and tells her that they are going to be a family (sans Mauricio and barely with Renee) though Maria makes it clear that she and Fabian aren’t together. Anifer reminds Fabian that she went with him because he promised to release Mauricio but Fabian tells her not to worry about all that right now. In fact, Fabian thinks she should just forget Mauricio. Anifer begins to protest and Maria explains that Fabian didn’t m3qn it th3 way it sounds though Fabian makes it clear that he is now her father and Mauricio is nothing to her right now. He also explains that the law decided that he is her father so she better get it in her head that her ONLY father is him…
