Caray, Caray!

Highlights from the latest episode Capítulo 7:

Canuto tells Robert he is his grandfather. Robert cannot understand how he could have just disappeared. Canuto tells him to ask his grandmother about that. His second family does not know about his first family. Next, Canuto tells Axel about Robert being his grandson. Axel wants to know why he did not tell him earlier. Canuto says it was all too chaotic. Now more than ever Canuto has decided that he has to leave Oaxaca. Axel tells him to stay and face the truth. Back at home, Canuto goes as far as packing his bags and trying to sneak out and skip town but doesn't get to when Susana appears on the scene. He has to hide his bags. She questions him about his previous life in Oaxaca. He never has talked about his parents. Canuto refuses to talk about his past and no, he did not have any family.


Axel tells Robert what his grandfather just told him about his other family and what a surprise it was for him, too. Axel explains that they all came to Oaxaca because his mom was offered a very important job. Robert thinks silently that now he knows who Susana Córcega is. What can Axel and Robert do? Later, Susana tells Axel she is worried about her father wanting to leave. He says he knows nothing about it. He also tells her it is also too late for her to start worrying about her own family.

Robert talks to Imelda about Canuto not being dead. He tells her that he is alive but she insists she buried him over 50 years ago. She finally tells him the truth: that Canuto died for her the day she found out that he had cheated on her. Robert tells her she made a mistake and was selfish. She insists Canuto made a fool of her and her boys saw him as a hero. She wants it kept a secret. Robert tells her Canuto has another family and he knows some of them already. She angrily concludes that Canuto went on to have another family and she was left to support her family alone. Robert is leaving it up to her on how she wants to tell everyone the truth.

Daniela and Gabriel are going to pretend they are courting as a way to liven up their marriage. Daniela is not happy with traditional marriage and the implicit "rules" that come with it. If they do not have a different kind of marriage, she is afraid marriage is going to lose its appeal.

Julieta gets home to find out that Catalina put some concoction with nettles on Blanquita that gave her the rash. Julieta takes her to the hospital to see Robert. It turns out that Blanquita had just an allergic reaction. Robert tells Catalina she has to be more careful since Blanquita has such delicate skin. Julieta tells Robert that she is happy Dave has a friend but is not too enthusiastic about Sebas and his family. What do they know about them?

While Pancho and family are eating in the bakery, Eugenio tells them how his father died in an accident on a trip when he was a young boy. He waited for his father in this very bakery. He was supposed to bring him a red toy car. Pancho tells Julio to give Eugenio his red toy car. He does. Eugenio is pleased. Later, Audifaz and Eugenio wonder about what life would have been like if their father had never died.

Blanca is offended (again) that Julieta would let Dave go with Sebas and his grandma when she should be the one caring for him.  They make up later. Julieta discovers hiring a nanny is not going to be easy.

Pancho sees Audifaz outside of the library wanting to sell his book but nobody is buying. Pancho takes out a wad of cash and buys one of the books. He then gets on the stairs of the library and gives Audifaz a lesson on how to SELL his book. A crowd gathers.

Crisanta is having her grand opening. Imelda has another plan to complicate Crisanta's life. When night falls, Imelda has Amalia turn off the power to Crisanta's store to stop her sales. It works. Crisants vows that Imelda will pay.

(BTW, Crisanta's store is called "CrisANCHA" because her clothes are for women who are not thin but have "wide" (ancha). . . hearts! I just loved it!)

When Robert gets home, Julieta notices something is wrong. He blames it on work. Susana calls telling Julieta that she needs to go over the the issues still pending for the photo shoot of their new catalogue. She just sent it to her. She will see her first thing tomorrow morning in her office.
