Caray, Caray!

It is breakfast time at Blanca's and Polita has stopped by with the forms from the new renter and to eat. She leaves.

Blanca is still having a problem with Eugenio's attitude and his not being able to get comfortable in bed so she can sleep. She loves him "till death do they part" but if he continues like he is, that will surely kill her.

Robert continues talking to Tavo about his professional goals. When Tavo first met Robert his dreams were very clear. What happened? Robert thinks back to taking care of his patients and Dave. Tavo asks him why he is there.


In Julieta's office she talks to Daniela and Gabriel about their failure to deliver the alebrijes and toys. Daniela says she will get busy and replace them all. There is no time for that. Julieta says she trusted them and had a lot of patience and now she ends up having another problem with Susana because of them. Daniela says it was a lack of organization that did them in. Julieta remarks it was a big lack of organization. Gabriel keeps trying to minimalize it all. Daniela apologizes and says they will talk to her boss and take the blame. Gabriel doesn't seem to agree. Julieta gets a call that a man who says he is her uncle wants to talk to her. She realizes it must be Audifaz. She is on her way.

Susana is ready to seal the deal with the investors. It turns out that they will need to think about investing in "Cklass." Susana is not happy not being able to close the deal.

Canuto drops her off Crisanta at her shop. Crisanta kisses Canuto and goes into her shop. He sees Imelda arriving with Lázaro right next door and goes to hide in his truck.

After Eugenio drops baked good on the floor, Blanca tells him if he does not do his physical therapy, he won't be able to move at all. Wit hall of his moving around she feels likes she is on a tobogan going this way and that. He sarcastically asks if she didn't sleep at all. No, she slept about five minutes. How wonderful for her! She cannot wait until Robert comes to take him. If he doesn't go for his therapy, he will no longer be staying at his home. She doesn't want to hear about his mother owning the building either. He will be sleeping in the bakery among the baked goods.

Crisanta is back out wondering why Canuto (Tito)is still outside of her shop in his truck. Isn't he supposed to be going to the doctor? He says he is going. She tells him he better get going. As he drives away, she sees Imelda come out to water the plants. They both give each other dirty looks with a hand on the hip and a good shake to boot.

Audifaz is in the lobby trying to sell his books while Ari is meeting his fans. He wants to take advantage of his popularity. Julieta talks to him. He mentions that her boss caught him selling while Ari was modeling. Julieta tells him how it is. First of all, she isn't his niece. Second, he cannot sell anything there. She tells Ari he cannot meet with his fans there. They move down the hall. She "thanks" Audifaz for causing her more problems with her "beloved" boss. Audifaz is not happy with her.

At the hospital, Robert is treating Canuto's burn and asks if he has ever had problems with wounds healing before. No, he hasn't. Robert sees his test results and that Canuto has diabetes. That is no surprise to Canuto.

From outside their dueling businesses, Crisanta and Imelda argue about who the street belongs to. Imelda says she was just watching for the big old fleas coming from Crisanta's shop. Crisanta declares she would never have fleas but they could be on Imelda's clothes since they are old enough to be in a museum. Imelda remembers when the street was a place of tranquility and decency. Crisanta says that when she came it became a street of JOY! Crisanta asks if Imelda likes the name of her shop: "Crisancha." Amalia asks if she is going to sell clothing AND snacks. (ancha means wide) Crisanta insists that she is going to make triple the amount of money that Imelda makes. Crisanta dances away with her sales girl. Imelda just has to see what merchandise Crisanta is selling.

Robert explains the severity of diabetes to Canuto. Why is he not following a treatment plan? Canuto does watch what he eats but has a problem with putting other chemicals in his body. Robert asks if he does not know that his life is in danger. Canuto does not want his family to worry or suffer because of him. Robert insists that he see a specialist because diabetes can prevent wounds from healing. Before he can lecture too much more, Canuto asks him to help him heal his burn and he will take care of the rest.

In the hallway, Daniela tells Gabriel off. Does he have any idea of the hours it takes her to make each of her alebrijes? toys? All he had to do was to be responsible for them being transported. He admits that it was due to his not being careful. He apologizes. She is disappointed in him. He hears Susana's high heels and they stop talking.

Susana arrives and demands to know where Julieta is. Their answer is a mumble jumble of nothing useful. Susana asks Daniela and Gabriel to follow her to take care of this matter. They end up in her office. How they could send the order late and in such poor condition? In the conversation, Susana learns that Julieta is related to Daniela. Everyone seems to be related to Julieta. That is not a good thing. She also finds out they are married and work out of the house. Daniela gets defensive and says she does not understand what the difference is between their work life and their private life. Susana tells them that is exactly what the problem is. Mixing love and business is a big mistake. Then there are people who get married without knowing each other very well, without knowing their partner's defects. That hits a nerve and Daniela asks if Susana is now a marriage counselor. No, she is not but after seeing the quality of the shipment, she wants to know who didn't demand enough of the other. Daniela and Gabriel have on their sad faces. Then Susana adds that she is speaking from experience and doesn't see their marriage lasting more than a year. Gabriel says she has no right to give her opinion about their personal life. Susana agrees but what she can get into is their work. She shows them their contract. It is canceled. They also owe a fine for not fulfilling the contract and the advance they were given. Gabriel says they don't have the money to pay. Well, maybe that is something they should have thought of before signing the contract is Susana's response. She then gives them lollipops saying that they are good for stress.

Robert arrives at the bakery and Eugenio complains that his mother has been unbearable and tells Robert about his mother's threat. Robert sides with Blanca. Eugenio complains that with every day that goes by Blanca is more like Robert's wife controlling everything. Blanca asks that she not be compared to Julieta who does not know her limits. She has Robert tied to her apron strings. Robert is aggravated with the way Blanca and Eugenio are talking about Julieta and he tells them he does not like it. They only want to "help him out" and are telling him "for his own good." Robert tries to explain that they are a different kind of couple. He is more of a homebody and she is more of an executive type. No, there is nothing wrong with that. They are only saying it because they think that Julieta is bringing him down. They only want him to value himself. Robert is uncomfortable. Time for them to go to his dad's therapy.

Catalina visits Julieta at work and mentions that Dave's friends mother is just like Julieta. Catalina reads Julieta's tarot cards and says that things do not look good.

Daniela and Gabriel run to Julieta's office to give her the bad news about the fine and advance. Gabriel tells Julieta they have no money. The talk is cut short because Susana wants to see Julieta in her office. Rather than calling Susana the Máster she calls her the Monster.

Susana talks to Julieta. She is angry that Julieta's whole family seems to be involved in the office one way or another. That is nepotism. Julieta tries to explain that her relatives got their jobs by their own merits but it goes nowhere. Susana makes it clear that the investors left without closing the deal because of Julieta's mistakes. Also, nobody at Julieta's level in a company takes their children to work with them. From now on, Susana wants Julieta's daughter to be cared for outside of the business when Julieta is working. A crying Julieta literally begs her to let Blanquita stay but Susana will not be swayed. Julieta has sweet flashbacks of her and her daughter. Yes! Susana has chldren but the office is no place for them. People, especially women have to make sacrifices. Susana tells her that she cannot "have it all." She needs define her priorities and will not argue about it anymore. She notice that look of hatred on Julieta's face again. They just have too much work to do. Why doesn't Julieta ask her mother or her mother-in-law to look after the baby? She will see her at work tomorrow at 7:00 a.m. sharp. After Julieta leaves, Susana looks sad and looks at a photo of her two sons.

Amalia has reconnoitered Crisanta's business and taken photos of the clothes Crisanta is selling. Imelda seems to think they are indecent! They cannot allow them to be sold! She sends Lázaro to get a big bucket of red paint. Imelda seems to be relishing what she is planning on doing.

At the hospital, Robert introduces Eugenio to Dr. Axel who will be in charge of his therapy. Eugenio refuses to work with him because he looks like a kid. Axel understands and excuses himself. When alone, Robert tells Eugenio he cannot just rule somebody out because of their age. Well, Eugenio doesn't have any confidence in him. Eugenio insists he could just do his exercises at home. That does not fly with Robert. Eugenio needs medical supervision. His father is fed up with the aches and pains of being old. Robert understands but there is always a solution.

Back with Daniela and Gabriel, Julieta says she can try to talk Susana into letting them pay the fine and advance they owe through installments rather than a lump sum. No, it is not a good idea for Gabriel to talk to Susana again. Now Julieta just wants to be alone with Blanquita. Also, would they move their alebrijes and other things out of her office? Julieta thinks back at what Susana said. She and Blanquita cry some more. She hopes Blanquita understands it all when she is older.

She is doing it so that the people will no the border between good taste and the common trash next door. Amalia is worried about the police. Imelda says not to worry, they have more important things to do.

Daniela and Gabriel are driving to pick up Frida. He understands that she is angry. Isn't she ever going to forgive him? It isn't that she doesn't love him. If she didn't she wouldn't put up with all of this. She wonders if he really appreciates the seriousness of what happened.She has not gotten over what Gabriel did or his attitude towards it all. His problem is that he never grew up. That is why he is so irresponsible. He doesn't put out 100% effort. Maybe working together in a business wasn't the best idea. He is sure they will be a success. Daniela asks what if Susana is right that they got married without really knowing each other and aren't going to last.

Julieta tries to go over Susana's head on the corporate ladder to plea her case but has no success. The maintenance staff comes in to remove the baby furniture. Casandra will miss Blanquita, too. Julieta starts crying again.

He suggests they call his mother because she is free. She doesn't want to bother his mother but gives in and says to give her her thanks. Crisanta suddenly calls Robert to let him know there isn't anybody to pick up Dave at school. She is there and offers to take Dave home and feed him. Robert says okay and thanks her. A nice spicy shrimp broth awaits them.

Susana talks with Julieta one more time. tells Julieta to just calm down. She has nothing against her. She thinks that Julieta is a great vice president and that these changes will benefit the company and Julieta. Julieta disagrees because being kept away from her daughter will never be a good thing for her. Susana suggests that Julieta take off the rest of the day so she can go home and take care of her child care issues. She will see her tomorrow. After a lukewarm reaction from Julieta, she turns nasty and reminds Julieta they will be starting early tomorrow at 7:00 a.m. sharp.The secret is to get herself organized!

It is dinner at Crisanta's. What a small world! Canuto finds out that Dave is Dr. Cooper's son. Imelda knows him already. The door bell rings and it is Robert. Canuto is uncomfortable.
