Caray, Caray!

 Dani tells Gabriel that she has  decided she is going to go stay at her parents' house for  a while so she can be there when Grecia starts her father's treatment.   She promises to stay on bed rest. She doesn't want to leave Gabriel alone. Gabriel says he is an adult and doesn't mind being alone and anyway Nonno and Guido are there. Gabriel is going to buy Dani some cajeta (caramel).

Guido is all excited for Nonno because besides having a business that promises to be a success, he has found love. Nonno is pensive and has a bad feeling that the widows are going to meet and are going to want to cook him in a pot. Guido offers to help him out. With his angelic face, the widows are sure to believe whatever he tells them.  Gabriel comes in and Nonno  notices how red his face its. Gabriel blames it on continual stress and now there is a serious issue with his father-in-law. Nonno decides to go with Gabriel and they leave. Guido has a phone call from an employee called Luigi who has initiated the changes to the articles of association/incorporation of Nonno's corporate empire.  He tells Guido that as soon as he signs the new articles, Guido will be the majority shareholder of all of the Mussi businesses.   Guido assures Luigi that Nonno will never know because he will be busy being entertained by his two loves.


Axel tells Susana that he even though likes his job at the hospital,  he needs some new challenges. His father invited him to come work in Africa but he is not convinced and asks for his "mom's" advice.  She suggests he come work with her until Julieta comes back. She could teach him everything about administration that she knows. He thinks that that sounds like fun but wouldn't it bother her working with her son.  Not at all. She would love seeing him all of the time.

Guido thanks Dani for being concerned about him. That is something his parents never did. He was very sickly from the time he was born. He couldn't go out a lot. He would get sick if they opened a window.  His parents blamed him for his illnesses. His father said he was like a flower nobody could touch. So, he spent all of his childhood within the four walls of his room. The only one who treated him differently was Nonno who even taught him how to ride a bike.  After his parents died in an accident, Nonno became his real father and gave him the strength to change his life. Dani tells him how strange it was for her growing up in her own family.  She was born the same day that her brother went missing and she always had the feeling that it was her fault.   Guido says he would kill to keep this new world he is living in now.

Ari and Temo have problems with the same old bullies in the classroom before Grecia arrives led by Zack.  Ari says he is just looking for attention. Zack says he is nobody to tell him he is looking for attention. Grecia arrives and says she can and is saying he is asking for attention. She introduces herself as their new psychology teacher. She is there to help them all grow and understand. Our mind can betray us and then there is a surge of violence. She asks Zack if he is jealous of Ari and Temo being happy because he also wants to be.  Should she go on or start class? They all agree to start class.

Nonno admits that this might not be the best moment but he wants to tell Gabriel about his will.  He has made Gabriel his executor. Gabriel doesn't see that as necessarily fair. What about his uncle Filippo and Guido? Nonno assures him that they are set for life but Gabriel has three motives to keep him going: his triplets. He is also going to preserve the Mussi name. Guido, of course, overhears this and thinks he would kill to keep this new world he is living in now.

The breakfast at Blanca's starts calmly enough with Pancho cooking for everyone in the kitchen. Gabriel arrives with Dani announcing that she is going to stay fo a while.   Pancho tells Polita in the kitchen that  Ari and Temo are together as a couple.  Audifaz overhears and he and and Imelda go crazy.  Eugenio asks everyone to calm down. Audi blames Polita. Gabriel says love is love. Dani asks Audi why he is so afraid. Imelda tells her not to get involved and that she will not tolerate a circus in her building. She blames Polita for the immorality of her son. Polita says they are doing nothing immoral. Imelda does not agree saying that she is providing a bad example to little Arqui who will grow up with twisted ideas.  Pancho will not allow her to disparage Temo. He knows his twins  will grow up happily with Temo by their side aware that they are free to love who they want. Audi screams he will never agree. Gabriel reminds them all we are in a new century and have to advance.

Guido talks again to his Luigi. He daydreams thinking of preparing food for Dani, Nonni and Gabriel and how Dani  asks what his secret is to make his food so delicious. He says the end is near.  Luigi brings Guido back to reality assuring him  that he will be able to deliver all of Nonno's shares . Things are going as planned.  Guido asks  when he will be able to leave for Miami.  The man tells  Guido his "boss" he will be leaving as soon as he is done supervising Nonno's other businesses. Guido tells Luigi is sending him some of their "special" mezcal to the restaurant  He is to sell it  all. The man tells him that in order to maximize profits he hired some undocumented workers. Guido wants him in Miami and he doesn't want any problems. Being cheap could end up being expensive. Luigi insists he has it all under control as he sits with a cocktail on the other end in a restaurant kitchen somewhere.

At work,  Susana introduces Axel to Catalina as their new collaborator. Axel addresses Susana as boss but quickly corrects himself and uses "Máster Susana". Catalina smiles.

Dani has a video call with Robert.  After some  small talk, Dani asks when they are coming home. Robert says that Vicente offered him a really great deal with Doctors Without Borders  in Africa and they have decided to go. There is not time to make a trip to Mexico. He won't be there for the triplets' birth but  promises to meet his little nephew and nieces soon.  He sends kisses and greetings to all.

Axel feels strange not being at the hospital but he is there to learn all he can. He hopes his mother won't have problems and be accused of nepotism. She tells him not to worry because she will expect at  least triple the work from him. He smiles. Pancho arrives to finalize the wedding plans.

Pancho arrives at Susanas office. Axel wishes Susana and Pancho good luck on their pre-marriage talks and leaves the office. Susana and Pancho get into discussing where to live: her place or his? They each want their own homes as THE home.  They could go and get  a new place of their own. Pancho would like her to let him find a house fo all of them. She agrees to TRY to live with him and all of the kids in his apartment for now. It will be an adventure.

Guido tells Gabriel he is looking very tired. He needs to take care of himself for Dani and the triplets.
Gabriel makes a point of telling  Guido that Nonno named him executor of his will. Guido feigns happiness and says that will be  a big job dividing everything up between all of the other heirs.  Gabriel down plays it saying now all he wants  is to just concentrate on the triplets and work.

Guido is doing a demonstration for one of the distillery employees named Gil.  He opens a bottle, pours some of the liquor out and adds water to fill up the bottle again.  The bottle is then resealed. He needs him to do the same thing with the rest of the bottles. By watering down the mezcal, they will be doubling their money.  The worker is afraid they will be caught. Guido is not worried because those bottles will be sold far away from here, so who would know they were tampered with?

Daniela has news for Eugenio. Robert, Julieta and Blanquita are going to Africa for a while. Dave will be coming home with Blanca. Eugenio is upset because he will have to tell Blanca about his disease.

Pancho and Susana are at their final Pre-Cana class at the church. The priest says they are made for each other! They are overjoyed.

Ari is ready to take his driver's licence test after his"super"classes with his aunt Blanca. He asks Temo to come with him. he will. Their first date as novios should be something great . . .

The priest tells Pancho and Susana that their wedding is scheduled to take  place on "Santo domingo"  (a church holiday at the church which is Santo Domingo de Guzmán.) Pancho and Susana are very excited. Crisanta cannot wait to help with the decorations. Susana reminds her that later she needs to go with her and Grecia for her dress fitting. No,  Pancho is no allowed to come.  As they are talking Imelda comes into the church on the arm of Ignacio making snide comments about dark creatures being in the church. Crisanta reminds her  she is an angel.  Susana asks what brings Imelda to the church. Imelda says a date. Nonno almost walks in on them and then sees that his two girlfriends know each other.  Crisanta says if Imelda is there for a date,  it must be a BLIND date and the insults fly.  Nonno calls Imelda on his cell phone and tells her he has to cancel because of a problem with a runaway burro at the distillery.

At the wedding dress fitting, everyone sees Susana's dress and we see their happy reactions, but we do not see Susana in the dress.

Linda and Gabriel change Pancho's look for the wedding with the kids watching the process. His hair is trimmed and styled. Yes, we get to see what he looks like all cleaned up.

Imelda and Tulio are up to no good. Imelda tells Audifaz that she wants Polita out of her building. Audi says she lives there with her sons. She reminds him that they have to think about little Arqui. Imelda says that is exactly what she is doing because she doesn't want to see him "changed".  Tulio has an alternate albeit drastic idea. It could be the best thing. They should take Polita  to court and fight for custody of Arqui.

When he is all styled, Pancho asks how he looks. Everyone likes it. Gabriel says he looks handsome almost like a Mussi.  Pancho wonders if Susana will like his new look. They all say YES!

Audi is not sure about taking custody of Arqui from Polita because of how it would make her suffer. Imelda and Tulio keep pounding away insisting that  removing Arqui from that home is the only way to save him from being influenced by Ari. Imelda knows it is extreme but she is not going to allow her other grandson to end up like Ari. Arqui should live with them.

Polita and Ari talk. She is happy for him and Temo. She looks a little sad and he asks if she is okay. She says she is. All that matters is that he and Arqui are well.

At the distillery, Gil tells Guido that the shipment is ready to go. Guido says with the mezcal they saved they will be able to double their production. Gil thinks it is going to be hard to keep this a secret from Massimo. The workers are uneasy. Guido reminds them that they are being paid to keep their mouths shut.  He can talk when he has his own distillery. Guido tells him to take the boxes to shipping. Gil asks if they are for Mr. Gabriel's event. Guido says nothing but mocks Gil when he leaves the room.

Later, Guido is on the internet as he is seated on his bed.  He is reading the description of a poison that is common but sufficiently effective. He gets up, locks the door to his room, finds a key hidden behind a picture frame, opens a locked box and adds a packet to other packets and bottles in the box. After closing and locking the box,  he hides the key back behind the picture frame.

Tulio and Imelda pay Polita a visit and give her  an ultimatum. Either stop covering up for and supporting Ari's lifestyle,  or lose Arqui.  Polita swears she will never abandon either of  her sons. Tulio says no matter what, they are going for custody of Arqui. Imelda tells Polita to find somewhere else to live.

Gabriel tells Dani how Nonno has made him the executor of his will.  Dani thinks it is a little strange. Gabriel says all that he needs to do is make sure that all of Nonnos's wishes are followed as indicated and that everything is distributed fairly among the heirs. Dani says okay. It is just that she does not like to think about death.  Gabriel says they should focus on their happiness they have right now. Team Osos forever!

The driving examiner tells Ari that he made a lot of errors. Ari asks when he can take the test again.  She tells him he won't need to because she noted that he practiced and was responsible so she is passing him. He just needs to wait for her to get his license. Ari and Temo are already planning a real first date maybe with Susana's car.

Guido is the bearer of romantic messages "supposedly" written by Massimo's hand for both Crisanta and Imelda. They are both so flattered by his sweet thoughts.

Dani is concerned about Gabriel. She asks if he is okay. He doesn't know. He is just hotter than usual but he is just so overjoyed with the thought of the triplets, he cannot even sleep. He has good news. He has saved all of the money they are going to need to cover the expense of the three births.

Susana's bachelorette party is at Blanca's. Crisanta doesn't have to worry about Imelda because she is out on a date. It is game time!

The bachelor party is at Pancho's. Gabriel is all excited  to present to them the Mussi mezcal:"Mezcal di amore."(if they are eighteen and over, of course.)  Guido says tonight is a  night to remember.

Imelda and Massimo are out at dinner. She goes on how beautiful the letter was that he sent her. He asks what letter. She says the one he sent her. he thinks back at Guido offering to help him out.  Now he remembers! She is so impressed. Imelda reminds him they have been gong out for several months.  She wants them to be novios. He agrees. They have their first kiss.

Luigi calls Guido from a restaurant kitchen again with good news. Everything turned out perfectly. Guido now owns Nonno's majority shares.

The parties go on. Dani suddenly has a strong contraction.
