Caray, Caray!

Dani and Gabriel talk about the baby and are all excited. They are starting to think of names. Dani says they have many wonderful months of waiting to decide.Gabriel already has a journal to record the "firsts" for the baby.  Dani has baby shoes to hit him with if he deserves it.  Gabriel says that is not going to happen because he is going to live up to his responsibility. Gabriel says they will have to save some money considering the cost of the birth and her cravings. Nobody will ever be more spoiled than she.  The are both excited.

Linda and Axel climb into their twin bed they are going to share  fully dressed with their hands on top of the blanket.  Linda says her family would kill her if they knew she was living with him. Axel thinks they will be okay as long as they say nothing to anyone..

Eugenio is still up in his wheel chair worried because he is forgetting so much.


Via a video chat we see that Robert, Julieta and Blanquita are in New York and all set up in an apartment.  Dave is ready to come and help. Julieta misses him a lot. Dave says he will have to talk English all the time and that will be real tough. Blanca will come with him and help him with his classes.  Julieta likes the idea. Robert is planning on showing Blanca a lot when she comes to stay.  They will go to central Park, the museums, the theater . . . Eugenio says his hip is feeling better with his therapy and tells them other bits of news.  Julieta tells Blanca not  to stop sending her  YouTube cooking videos.  She is learning a lot.  Blanca says she will be sending Julieta plenty of easy recipes because she knows how Julieta can burn water. She and Dave laugh.  They all love each other and will talk soon.

SOME DAYS LATER . . .

Dani has a surprise for Gabriel. The cradle she was working on is finished so now the baby will have a place to live.  They get to hear the baby's heart beat today!

Sebas tells Susana that he has been thinking about a lot of  things. Susana says she would like to hear what he is thinking about if he wants to tell her. Yes, he does. First of all  he misses Axel.  He tells Susana that Axel loves her a lot and refers to her as "mother" when they are talking. Susana cannot wait to hear that in person herself from Axel some day.  Next, Sebas misses his father but he realizes that she will not be getting back with him. Tavo helped him come to that conclusion. he has taught him there are cycles in life and that they end but there are also cycles that begin.  Susana says it sounds like he is growing up. Sebas also has realized that he has treated a lot of good people badly because he never gave them a  chance and never got to know them.  He gives Pancho as an example. He saved his life without thinking and he was very rude to him when the truth of the matter is he is a very good man. Sebas thanks her and says he wants her to be happy and if that is with Pancho that is okay with him.  They hug.

Ari runs into Temo. Ari says it has been a long time since he has seen him. It is as if he has disappeared. Temo says he has just been with his siblings and Diego.  Ari asks how things are going.  Temo just stares. Ari tells Temo how important he is to him. He is his best friend. Temo says yep, "friends". He turns to leave but then tells Ari that Diego asked him to give him a "chance" with him. Maybe he should give it to him.   Ari looks distressed. Temo asks what does Ari feel for him? Before Ari can stutter out an answer, Audifaz appears.  Audi asks is anyone has see Eugenio. He is looking for  him to give him some candy for their mother. He  also suggests  that Ari spend more time with the family.

Dani and Gabriel go for their ultrasound. They hear the heartbeat and are overjoyed but the doctor suddenly looks concerned which spoils the moment.  They are filled with anxiety.

Eugenio has gone to the hospital with Pancho. Eugenio is worried about the cost.Pancho says he will take care of it. Eugenio can always consider it as a loan if he wants.  The important thing is that he be seen and evaluated.   Eugenio does get a diagnosis. He is suffering from  the early stages Alzheimer's. He makes Pancho promise he will not tell anyone.

Dani and Gabriel now are worried by the doctor's reaction. After framing what she is going to say, one too many times, the doctor finally blurts out that they are having triplets.

Axel and Linda are all busy prancing around "playing house" when there is knock at the door.  Linda goes to open it and  SURPRISE!!! It is her mother Blanca.  Blanca tells her she knew that Linda was lying to her. Linda starts to talk and Blanca slaps her good and hard. Axel interrupts by saying this is not the way or the time and he gets slapped good and hard, too, told to shut up and called selfish.   Blanca answers Linda's question why? with that is the only way they are going to understand. Blanca explains that Linda said she was living by herself and she betrayed her.  Linda left the house with the  idea of being independent and here she turns up living up with this young man.  When will Linda get it into her head that Axel is her COUSIN? Linda tries to wheedle her way out of it with her mealy mouth saying things are not like that.  An enraged Blanca doesn't believe it. She sees Linda as  just laughing in her face thinking that she has put one over on her. Is Linda going to say now that Axel is only visiting in his underwear?  Axel tells the truth and says that he and Linda are living together. Blanca reiterates that this has nothing to do with independence and they are cohabiting. Axel says lots  of couples live together so they can get to know each other. Blanca says that is not how one does things. If they are not doing anything bad, then why are they hiding?  Linda starts crying.  Blanca tells Linda that she had big goals to be a great woman and now she is throwing it all away to escape with HER COUSIN! What a shame! Blanca leaves as Linda blubbers on.

Gabriela and Dani decide that together they will be able to handle the triplets because together they can handle anything. Dani realizes that financially they are not in good shape but  she will work as much as she can during her pregnancy. Gabriel swears he will support them all.

Pancho tells Eugenio that he can count on him unconditionally 24/7 for whatever he needs. He knows it is going to take time for Eugenio to process this diagnosis. Pancho tells him to be brave because his family loves him and will be with him right at his side at every moment.  Pancho says he doesn't know much but he does know that nobody ever forgets love because it is eternal.

Gabriel goes on and on  . . . about how he is going  support them and get extra jobs. He then remember his his grandfather Massimo Mussi. He is a great guy. He is going to contact him  and knows that he will be crazy that  there are going to be three more Mussi's.  He owns lots of businesses and Gabriel can ask him for some extra work. He will go to his family for help to support them. Dani shouldn't feel alone. She says it will be hard but not impossible. Gabriel says they will achieve what they want to because they are a TEAM of five; six with Hermoso.

Pancho thinks that Eugenio should tell his family everything.  His disease is very serious and not something that he is going to be able to hide.  Eugenio simply does not want his family to suffer. Pancho says they will suffer more if they do not know what is coming.  Eugenio's heart just breaks thinking about what this will do to Blanca.  What is she going to feel? Dani and Gabriel see and hear them and walk over. Dani asks what is it that her mother is going to feel.

Eugenio explains his presence in the hospital by saying that Eugenio brought him to his hip and shoulder therapy. Dani isn't buying it and asks him if there is anything else going on.   Pancho says what his father told her is true. Eugenio asks how it went with them. Dani says they have great news but they are going to tell everyone all at once at home.

Sebas gets the kids together. He needs their help on a super special mission. Since Dave is going to be leaving very soon, they need to get this plan going today so he can help them.  Sebas wants to get his mother and Pancho back together again. Everyone is on board.

Temo gets a text telling him that they just published Ari's interview. He asks Ari what they asked him because  the title says that Ari Córcega hates gays.

At Blanca's,  Dani and Gabriel have an announcement for all of them.  They are expecting triplets. Everyone is happy except for  Eugenio  who thinks of his diagnosis and just sits and cries.

Pancho has gone to see Susana to tell her that Eugenio needs help. Eugenio doesn't want his family to know anything. That is why he is asking her to go see Eugenio.  He needs all of them. Susana is upset.  Pancho asks how Susana  is doing. She talks about things going better with her family.  Her work load is heavier since she acquired Julieta's position addition to her own. The bottom line: her heart is still taking a break.  That is not what Pancho wanted to hear.  It is time for him to get back to work.

Eugenio says he is just so moved from the news about the triplets. Imelda says that is just normal with the idea of having three more Córcega's in the family.  Blanca says they will take care of the babies all together. Eugenio says there is at least one good piece of news. Tulio asks why he would say that. Eugenio says because they are so separated

Still at the "united kids"' meeting, Sebas talks to the twins about getting their parents together.  Would they accept the idea of his mother being their father's novia? There is silence and then they agree in unison. Everyone is happy.

Tavo sees Ari at the park later. he says that Ari still has not answered what he asked him. What does Ari feel for him. Ari admits that he really doesn't know because he has never felt anything for anyone. He never had a girlfriend. He doesn't know what he feels. Tavo asks if Ari thinks he is asexual. Ari looks like he really doesn't know.

Gabriel opens his door at home and has a big surprise. It is his nonno (abuelo/grandfather) Massimo Mussi from Italy. They embrace.

Susana goes to visit Eugenio and he tells her that he has Alzheimer's. What he doesn't realize is that Frida has overheard what he has said.  Frida asks if that is the "forgetting" disease. Eugenio invites Frida to sit with them. She asks if it is true that he has that illness. He says yes and begs her not to tell anyone. He especially does not want her grandmother to know.

Linda and Axel are having a discussion. It seems that Axel wants to "open up" the relationship so they could still be together and see other people at the same time. it is not a matter of love but sex. Linda is not pleased and when he tried to touch her she screams (the famous "NO ME TOQUES". (don't touch me). She tells him the only thing that is going to be open is his forehead when she bashes him against the wall.

Gabriel welcomes Nonno into his home.  Dani offers him a glass of water. (nonno speaks in a mixture of Italian  and Spanish just to keep interesting)  They chat and joke around.

Frida asks why Eugenio doesn't want anyone to know. Susana says Frida is right because he cannot face this illness alone. Eugenio needs Pancho and her and Frida to be his accomplices. Nobody else.

A tearful Tavo talks with his father. He was confused. Ari doesn't love him. Pancho can only hug him.

Linda is packed up and ready to leave Axel behind. Axel is going on about having made a mistake. She doesn't want to see him again. Whatever they had is over.  He tries to stop her and she runs her luggage over his foot on her way out the door. He hobbles to the door to watch her exit through the hall.

It turns out that Nonno is particularly interested in mezcal culture. He would like to build a mezcal distillery  here in Oaxaca.  They could produce all different types of mezcal for the espadina, la tomela  . . . to the cerruto. He already knows some but he is here to learn a  whole lot more. He teases them about not being  invited to their wedding. The doorbell rings and it is Guido. Guido is Gabriel's cousin (cugino) and he has come with Nonno. Gabriel is so excited. Gabriel gives them the good news that the Mussi family is growing and that they are going to have triplets. All  of the Mussi's are so excited  that they have to dance the tarantella. Hermoso doesn't know which way to look.

Susana tells Eugenio about a friend of hers at a university who is a neuropsychologist in Baja California but she could ask her to come. She is extraordinary. Blanca comes in wondering who they are talking about, so she asks if it is about her. Blanca asks Frida what is wrong and the same to Eugenio. Eugenio explains that Frida just misses her mom.  Suddenly, Linda comes in with all of her luggage proclaiming that her mother was right. She clipped her own wings and ended up crashing. Her relationship with Axel was a failure. Eugenio is surprised. Susana decides to leave but says it is best that Linda and her son are separated. Eugenio thanks her.

Ari is  talking to Polita as he is having an identity crisis. He ends up being honest and tells his mother that at the beginning he lied and pretended to be gay to defend a cause.  Now he thinks he really is gay. He needs to understand what he really feels and if he is in love with Temo. Polita tries to comfort him.

Eugenio cannot believe Linda was living with her cousin. Linda doesn't need any of his scolding because now she gets it. Blanca says they warned her many times. "Lo que mal empieza, mal termina." (What starts wrong ends badly) Linda knows and here she is back with her tail between her legs. Eugenio tells her to put her things in her bedroom and they can talk later. First though, he and her mother would like a kiss.

As Susana is leaving Sebas and the twins tell Susana that she has a date and she cannot say no.

Guido is all excited  about being in charge of  building the first Mussi mezcal distillery in Oaxaca. Gabriel tells him that is just spectacular. He congratulates Guido. Guido says it won't be as being of a responsibility as taking care of triplets. Anytime Nonno hears anything abut the triplets he just has this urge to celebrate. Guido agrees it is just what the Mussi needed. They start talking about family and Dani asks Guido  of his parents live in Italy. Evidently,  that is a sore subject because Guido says he would prefer not to talk about it.

All of the kids have led a blindfolded Pancho and Susana into Pancho's dining room. They can take the blindfolds off on the count of three. The kids have prepared a romantic dinner for them.  Sebas tells them that the kids want them together and they can be alone to chat but there are rules. They cannot be novios until they have passed the tests their kids have made up for them. Susana and Pancho agree. Sebas sings. Pancho and Susana applaud. The kids run out shouting "Privacy!" Susana and Pancho cannot believe the kids did all of this for them.  Pancho tells her there is only one thing they have to do before they eat. He kisses her.
