Caray, Caray!

Pancho runs into Robert in the hall. He notices that there is something wrong. Pancho knows that they aren't buddies or anything but they are on the same side. Maybe they could start over. Robert agrees that perhaps they just got off on the wrong foot. In spite of their quarrels, Pancho likes Robert. He'd like to have a chat with him on the stairs. By the way, Crisanta is back to snore some more in the building. That surprises Robert and he answers in his best "Pancho" imitation with "No manches!" (No way!)

Back at school, Julieta and Dave are happy to see each other.  Dave has missed them all. Susana is taking Sebas out to lunch and Axel will join them. She just wanted to spend some time with her sons. Fernando has come for Dave.  He reminds Julieta of the visitation schedule the judge set up. She tells him about how much she missed Dave and just had to see him. She didn't want to go against him or the judge. Fernando asks her to just let him be Dave's dad.  Fernando leaves with Dave.


Pancho and Robert are having that chat on the landing.  Robert admits that he had no idea they would ever take his child away.  Pancho admires him and says he is just thinking how he would be if one of his children were gone.  His heart would be split open. Pancho talks about his own problems with Julio and his reactions ever since he found out that Temo is gay.  It really hurts to see his children alienated from each other.  It is as if Julio has forgotten he loves his brother. Robert understands how love can just get away from us. That is how he feels about Julieta. Robert can't stop feeling guilty and like he broke up the family. Pancho says the same thing happened to him with Rebeca.  Pancho laughs saying he and Robert are very much alike with their great “locks “ (hair) and being quite sentimental. Robert laughs, too. They decide to try to be friends. They shake on it and "they became friends" a message on the screen tells us.

Susana is enjoying her sons over a lunch of pizza and soda. Sebas complains about the Oliver Twist role going to Julio. Pancho calls and Susana doesn't answer.  Later, she  tells Axel not to say anything to Sebas about her and Pancho. She will do that herself.

Pancho is at the table with Crisanta with a serious look on her face. He knows she has a mustache like Pancho Villa but she isn't going to try to start a revolution,  is she? No, she is just going to be a little docile fish in the water. She thinks that that will only be for a few days and then she is going to turn into a shark. The kids come in noisily but become totally silent and are surprised when they see Crisanta at the table. Pancho announces that Crisanta has come back to live with them.

Dani and Gabriel are talking about his business. He is going to name it Lucía after his mother who was also very good at planning events. Dani is proud of him. They kiss and Hermoso barks.

At home, Julieta brings Robert up to date on the day's events. Blanquita cried, Polita and her marriage, etc. She disappears into their bedroom, and yells out to Robert in Dave's bedroom that she saw Dave at school today.  He is fine. Fernando was angry that she came. Dave said he missed them all. She just wanted Robert to know . . . She says good night. Robert says good night, too.

Temo and Pancho make supper as Crisanta serenades them with her snoring.  Pancho calls Susana who apologizes for not answering the phone but she was busy with her sons.  Now she is studying Sebas' part for the play. No worries, because he understands that the children come first. Susana is worried because she cannot locate her mom.  Pancho informs her that her saintly mother Crisanta has taken up residence with him again and is snoring away.

Catalina arrives at Hugo and Diana's house and explains her plight and how she will be staying with them for a while.

Temo has a heart to heart talk with Pancho about not being able to get Ari out of his mind. He cannot sleep because every time he closes his eyes he sees Ari's face.

Ari talks to Polita. She tells him about wanting a divorce. All of a sudden, Ari looks stricken and guilty.

Dani is in bed with Gabriel. Hermoso is settled in his bed.  She is wide awake and thinking of babies. Gabriel wakes up and asks what's going on.  Dani thinks they are ready. She wants to be a mother. She wants to get pregnant.

Julieta wakes up in the middle of the night with a mosquito buzzing around her  head. It ends up that she can't sleep and she can't kill it. She chases it to Robert in Dave's room. Robert cannot take it any more and launches an attack. He smashes it with a book.  He then decides to tell Julieta about the great opportunity he has been given to go to Africa. It is not a done deal. Just an offer. It would be a great opportunity for him. She asks if he would consider going with all that is going on with Dave, their finances and their own problems as a couple. Robert thinks that since she cannot bear to be in the same room as he and since his education is so important to him, this would be the time for him to put his professional development as a priority for the first time.

Dave is sitting on the couch with his little red sweater thinking about his "Oppa" family and missing them. Fernando talks with Dave. He understands that he misses his other parents and that he and Dave are just getting used to each other. He assures Dave that little by little they will be really happy. This weekend he will spend time Robert and Julieta and his little sister. Dave is super lucky because he has two families. Dave asks if Fernando has anyone else but him. Fernando tells Dave no and that he is the only one but that he is enough and more than enough. Dave smiles.

Imelda calls Blanca to let her know that Tulio is about to drink again. Imelda tells him  he has to come over. He is stronger than the alcohol. He doesn't know if he can resist. She begs him to do it for her. Yes, he will come to her house.

Robert and Julieta are still talking. Julieta thinks that six months in Africa is not a short time to be away.. He won't be able to see his daughter and will be on the other side of the world. Robert repeats that he was only thinking about it. She adds them now having to rent the house and no place for her and Blanquita to stay to the other problems on their list.  Robert doesn't see that as a deterrent. If they cannot find a suitable place, she and Blanquita could stay with his mom. It would only be for several  months.  He could get trained, learn and send home a lot more money than what he is making now.  Julieta asks about Dave. Regrettably he feels like there is nothing more they can do about that situation.  Robert doesn't want her to think that he is being selfish. This is just an opportunity that has gotten them to think outside the box. He is leaving the decision up to her.

Dani and Gabriel continue talking about having a baby. Even Hermoso likes the idea. Gabriel is so happy and goes on and on. They want to get started on the baby making process right away but Dani tells Gabriel that Hermoso has to leave the room first.

Polita tells Ari that she no longer admires his father. She thought that Audifaz was a positive hard working man who was going to make her happy but things are not working out that way. Divorce is the only thing she has left.  Ari doesn't want Polita or little Arqui to suffer. He can find them another place to live and get a job and support them.  Polita tells him he such a kind heart.  Ari suggests  couples therapy. Polita says that won't work and  remembers walking in an Audi and Aura. She shakes her head and says it is not Ari's fault. It is between her and Audifaz.  Ari should never apologize for being who he is.  She wants to see him completely happy. He needs to go out and live and love. He has only one life.

Pancho is all ready to talk to Cuautémoc the last Aztec emperor over some sandwiches. Temo asks Pancho if it bothers him when he is honest with him and talks about who he is and what he feels. Pancho says if it is important to Temo, it is important to him.  Temo doesn't have to tell him all the details but he interested in what is going on in Temo's life. Pancho thought he was going out with Ari. Temo explains that things didn't work out with Ari. Pancho would like him to find someone who wants him, too. Pancho asks about Diego. Ari explains that Diego is his "friend".   Temo explains that just beause someone is gay doesn't mean that you are going to "like" them.  He thanks Pancho for trying to understand and turns the topic to Susana.

Susana is sitting up in her dining room when Sebas comes down wanting some chocolate milk. She gives in and they end up playing a game and doing a commercial for "Monos locos(Crazy Monkeys). and then playing another with false mustaches. She tells him that she loves him and is proud of him and what he will become. She loves him. Sebas loves her, too.  That is something Susana is going to remember as she thinks back on all of their difficult moments.

Pancho explains to Temo that he will always carry Temo's mother and Rebeca in his heart. Temo says he doesn't have to explain anything. He wants Pancho to find love again. Pancho explains that love has arrived again.  He tells Temo, in confidence,  that he is attracted to Susana and is in love with her.

Julieta tells Robert that he is the only one who can make the decision to accept the offer or not. Robert is asking her opinion because he knows that their last fight was about a decision he had made. She clarifies the situation that it was because he made the decision without consulting her.  They had a pact so it was hard for her to hear how he feels as if he doesn't exist and that he feels like he is not fulfilling his potential.  If going to Africa does it for him, she will not stand in the way of his dreams.  She understands how it is to want to develop professionally.  He has always supported her.  If he needs to take this trip, he needs to do it. She assures him they will work it out. Robert's phone rings.  It is Blanca. She needs him to come over because of Tulio. He says he will be right over. Julieta tells Robert that that is what makes him a good doctor and a good father. He is always looking out for everybody else.  She thinks destiny is pushing him to make a decision.  It is time that he do something for himself. Robert doesn't look like he necessarily likes what he is hearing.

Dave cries in his bed thinking back on how mean he was to his mother.

Catalina is at Hugo's.  She takes out an iron. Diana cannot believe she is actually ironing. Catalina promises not to make their home a "hell"  They get into it. Catalina says she comes in peace. She knows she is a lot better since she got her job.  She is only there because she got flooded out. Hugo and Diana want her agree to a list of rules of the house so they can all live peacefully together. Catalina is not happy.

At Blanca's, Robert tells Tulio he did the right thing coming over.  Alcoholism is a disease and he needs treatment.  If AA is not helping him enough, he suggests that Tulio enter a rehab center.  Tulio is agreeable to the suggestion. He wants to get better.  Polita asks Blanca if she can sleep at her place. Blanca says sure. They are family.

The next day, Dani and Gabriela are all happy eating Bimbo madelines and chilaquiles for breakfast.  He tells her she can have whatever she wants. He even has a pair of tiny baby shoes already bought for their first baby.

Lupita asks a pensive Dave what is wrong. He can tell her whatever he feels. Dave is conflicted. He wants to go back to live with the "Oppas" but doesn't want to hurt Fernando.

Julieta visits the altar of the Virgin of Guadalupe.  She knows she doesn't visit often or really at all but she needs to talk to her.

Vicente asks Robert if he has made his decision. Yes, Robert has decided to accept the position in Africa but he needs several weeks  to get things in order for his family before he leaves.
