Caray, Caray!

Audifaz walks in on a happy turkey dinner. He stopped by to get a few things and to tell them he will be living with Tulio. Ari makes a point of telling Audifaz he bought the turkey with his own money and invites him to sit and eat with them.  Audi must be going but is pleased that Ari is doing so well and now that the López boy is no longer to be around, he can focus on himself. Ari asks what does he mean by that. Audi asks if Ari didn't hear that Cuautémoc and his friend are now novios.

Susana and Pancho congratulate Temo and Diego.   Pancho announces that they will be staying in separate rooms and looking after the kids.

We see the huge ofrenda Imelda has created for Canuto. The whole family is  there. Imelda talks to Canuto and how he died after life brought them together again.  He still lives in all of their hearts. Canuto's ghostly hands appear on her shoulders. Canuto says that someday she will be looking for him and he will be waiting for her.  The ghost of Canuto stands next to Susana. Susana regrets the last words she said to him. The ghost of Canuto  says she has always been a good daughter and he is happy she has reconciled with her sons. She cannot miss the opportunity of believing in love again.



Sebas gets the ghostly hand on his shoulder next.  Sebas misses his grandfather so much but he knows he is in a better place: in a boat in heaven navigating between the clouds.  Canuto says he won't be there to see him grow up but he will be the captain of that boat that will visit  him in his dreams to take care of him. Canuto kneels in front of Eugenio. Eugenio never stopped thinking about him. He never wanted to forget him. Canuto apologizes for his exit and will be in Eugenio's heart and his memory for his whole life. Canuto smiles at them all and disappears.


Ari wishes he could have known Canuto better. Frida will pray for him every day.  All of the family members express what Canuto meant to them.  Linda sums it up saying Canuto will always live as long as they remember him.  Imelda agrees that real death is being forgotten.  Susana says she is renewing the promise that Robert made to Canuto to unify both of the Córcega families. Susana is going to start off by having a "Catrina" party. (The "Catrina" is an elegant portrayal of a skull of a woman in a wide brimmed hat trimmed with flowers that goes back to the etchings of the Mexican artist José Guadalupe Posada that has come to symbolize The Day of the Dead.  Linda and Imelda with their wide brimmed hats most closely represent the etching. ) They are all still alive and this could be a time to get together and  celebrate life  while leaving all of their problems behind.  Ari wants to know if Temo can come. Susana asks Imelda if she can invite Catalina because she knows how she has seemed a little down since Julieta left. Imelda gives in.

Susana tells Eugenio that she and Pancho want to talk to him out in the hall.  Susana and Pancho tells Eugenio that they are with him all the way.  They will not fail him. Eugenio thanks them.  he has good days and bad days. Susana reminds him that he will not be able to hide it much longer.

At their house, Gabriel has Vanidoso the Oso singing to the babies. Dani giggles.  Hermoso gets jealous and nips at Vanidoso. Nonno and Guido come in.  Nonno is all excited about having great grandchildren.  He wants to start spoiling them from this moment on. They start to talk about names. Dani says they don't even know the sex of the babies yet.   She also invites them to the Catrina party at Blanca's house.  Nonno wants to hear all about it. Clarisa and Casandra arrive and there are hugs and happiness all around. Before you know it, it is time to dance the tarantella again.

Susana comes home to an upset  Axel.  he just lost the only woman he ever loved because he didn't honor her as he should have.  He calls her "mamá" in his grief.  She tells him he is never alone.She will always be with him. Susana suddenly realizes that he called her mother. She has not heard that since he was a little boy. He regrets having fought so much with her. She explains that she is his mother and would give her life for him.  He needs her. She says they will face whatever comes with him.

Frida tells Eugenio to talk about his memories. That way she will remember them in case he forgets them and will be able to repeat the memories to him.

Imelda prays for her family and remembers the nice things the Italian said to her.  Crisanta is also thinking back on the nice things the Italian said to her. He was a little strange but certainly not ugly.

In the middle of the night Guido attacks Vanidoso the bear. Hermoso starts to bark so he give the dog something to eat. Guido takes scissors and rips the bear apart and leaves it in pieces.  Hermoso has been set up to take the blame.

Dani and Gabriel talk about Nonno and Guido. Gabriel is worried about Guido who lost his parents at a very early age. Gabriel has two more pairs of baby shoes so now they have enough for all of hem.

Ari is frustrated playing his keyboard at home. Polita thinks he should continue to see Tavo so he can help find himself.

Pancho asks Temo how things are going with Diego.  Temo is not comfortable discussing it. How are things with Susana? Pancho is all smiles.  Temo asks if he is thinking about marrying Susana. Pancho says yes! but it is something both families would have to discuss to iron out the details.

Audifaz watches Ari's interview where he talks about the rough patch his parents are going through and how he and his father are estranged.  Nevertheless, Ari will always love and respect his father because without him he would never exist. Audi looks sad.

Frida records all of Eugenio's memories on her phone. In her room she goes over one where Eugenio remembers that he proposed to Blanca with a three chocolate cake in addition to the ring. Blanca said yes!

Eugenio sits all alone trying to remember the  song he sang with Juan Pablo as a child. He has trouble remembering the words and cries.

Gabriel finds the Vanidoso the bear all torn apart and is upset because it was a sign of his and Dani's love. Dani cannot believe that Hermoso destroyed it, because he has never destroyed anything before. Guido says it looks like the dog is jealous,  real jealous.   Guido concludes that animals do not understand what they are doing.  Nonno agrees that you cannot control how a dog is going to react and offers to buy them a new bear today.  Gabriel thanks him but it just would not be the same. Since it was Dani's first gift to him, it was more than  a bear.

Pancho and his kids are all dressed up and made up for the Catrina party. Lupita wants to take a photo to send Dave.

Guido's Catrina face is quite menacing.  He is happy. He goes shopping at the market for candles and herbs.

They all gather at Blanca's. Imelda says they are scary but wonderful at the same time.  Imelda reminds them all that here in Mexico, death is not the end of life but the beginning of eternity.  Dani tells Imelda she is going to be impressed by  Gabriel's grandfather because he is a man of the world. When Nonno arrives and he sees Imelda they are both surprised.  He introduces himself as Massimo Mussi. He came with his grandson Guido who should be arriving shortly. Susana and the kids arrive  next without Pancho who had some food disagree with him. Nobody wants to hear the details.

Diego and Temo arrive and Imelda makes a crack about them. Susana reminds her that the skeleton costumes indicate that we will all end up the same.  Imelda agrees but some will be at peace but others will be suffering for the lives they led. Ari asks Imelda to not start judging everybody again. Susana tells her they have to be tolerant and respectful be cause the two boys are not doing anything bad.  Imelda informs Susana that just because she is on this mission to unify the Córcega's doesn't give her the right to come in and tell everyone what to do.  Here she is only her mother's daughter. Susana is shocked as Imelda sits back like a fat cat licking the milk off its whiskers.  Susana tells Imelda she is Canuto's daughter and doesn't want to get into it again with her.  If Imelda really loved Canuto, then why wouldn't she help fulfill his wish of bringing the families together. Will Imelda help? She just rolls her eyes.

At the market, Guido has bought a packet of something and puts it into his pocket. The shopkeeper gives him an odd  look.

Linda tries to talk Gabriel and Dani into a gender reveal party. Dani says it sounds just too complicated. Linda just thought it would be fun.  Gabriel likes the idea though.  Linda is going to talk to her dad because it would involve cakes with different color fillings.

Eugenio comes out of his room and starts asking where Blanca is.  Everyone turns and stares.
