Caray, Caray!

Guido has finished preparing Dani's tea and he brings it to her. He says it is good for her nerves.  He starts going on about how he knows she is going through such a complicated time in her life. He is to a certain degree, also.  He mentions how he still doesn't understand how Gabriel could die so young and so quickly.  She sips the tea.  He says the tea will do her good.

Neto has changed into his borrowed black pants and shirt from Pancho. Earlier Pancho brought them linens and some clothes. The twins and Yolo have changed, too. Of course, Yolo is sulking. Neto tells her to take care of her brothers because he has to go to work.  He tells them they are allowed in the building but not out on the street.   Yolo closes the door behind him and tell the twins it is time to initiate her plan to get them out of this terrible place.

Neto runs into Eugenio as he leaves the building. Eugenio demands to know who he is and Eugenio introduces himself. They joke back and forth and Eugenio tells him that his wife calls him Eugenio or "mal genio" (bad mood).


Andi asks Yolo about the plan and hopes it won't affect their dad  because he is supporting them. She tells the twins how bad things are going to be if they think this is the best place to live.  They decide they won't be helping her.  Fine,  will be doing this on her own. She thinks back about Ari who loaned her a charger for her phone. She asked how to find him on Facebook so they could be friends.  She said it was always good to meet great people.  They shook hands. Yolo decides to put out an invitation for a rooftop party on Facebook.  Everyone says to make friends, so that is what she will do.  Then they will see if Blanca and Pancho still want them there.

Neto tells Eugenio this story and that his wife Blanca has been very good to them.  Eugenio says that Blanca has a huge heart.  As for his mother Imelda, she can be a bit closed minded and surly but still is a good person.  Neto needs to get to work. Eugenio wishes him good luck on his first day.

Outside of the restaurant where Neto is working,  there is a line of waiting  customers that Neto is controlling. Grecia and Crisanta are in the line.  Grecia thinks they will have an incredible time and Crisanta is ready to sing but only romantic songs, not spiteful ones.

The owner Ramón talks to Neto. He wants to know why Neto isn't letting the customers in. Neto says it is a strategy. If people passing by see the long line, they will want to get in too thinking that something really great must be happening inside.

Loads of kids start arriving at the apartment building as Yolo directs them up the stairs to the rooftop. She invited like all of Oaxaca. Fifty people on Facebook alone.  The kids cheer on their way up.

As they continue waiting in line, Grecia is getting impatient.  She hates places like this where you have to stand a in line and "somebody" decides if you are getting in or not. Crisanta is sick of being discriminated against because she is old. Finally, Neto lets in a party of two and the rest of the line is kept waiting. Crisanta starts yelling at him to let them in. Grecia recognizes Neto and tells Crisanta. Crisanta says maybe he can let them in. Grecia says no way because he was the fish stealer from the market. Crisanta says he might be but Grecia won. Grecia approaches Neto and asks him who he thinks he is deciding who gets in or not. Neto tells her he is in charge of security.  Grecia is betting the place is empty and this is just a ploy to fool the public. She says they are customers and they will consume.  She starts getting the whole line  of customers into chanting loudly with her: "No nos vamos, nos quedamos" (We are not going, we are staying).

It is party time on the roof and more people are arriving.

Dani thanks Guido for the tea.  She is feeling calmer. She thanks him for being by her side. He has been a great support.  Guido mentions how Imelda and Massimo are novios. Dani is surprised. Guido explains that Nonno needed some company with Guido working at the distillery.  Guido tells Dani that Nonno told him to be in charge of all of his business since Gabriel is no longer here.  Guido will do his best to fill Gabriel's position.

The party is in full force on the roof and in the hall. .Linda,  Dani, Blanca, Eugenio and Imelda are in the hall wondering what is going on.  Linda asks some people in the crowd who they are and who invited them. Yolo is there and tells them all to relax.  It  is just  small welcome party. They all toast. The Córcega's stare.

Neto and Grecia are still at it. While Neto is talking to Ramón his boss,  Grecia sneaks in.  Neto follows her in and carries her out.  She has a flashback to where she was grabbed and attacked and slaps him.  She apologizes on the spot but Ramón says he cannot have Neto treating customers that way.  Neto says he never thought anything like this would happen. Ramón thinks it is clear that Neto wasn't thinking. After this, he has no confidence in Neto being able to manage a business. Neto is fired. Crisanta is so shocked her mouth  hangs open. The crowd cheers. Neto can only stare at Grecia who is clearly upset.

The party continues. Yolo tells Imelda it is only a party to have some fun.  Imelda informs her that that is not happening in this building. There are rules. Well, Yolo is not into following any rules because YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE! Imelda wants to know where her father is. Yolo says he is at the bar. Imelda tells Blanca that she told her so. Yolo elaborates and says her father works at a bar. Dani and Linda want to know who Yolo is anyway and they are told. Dani asks if Yolo thought this party was a good idea while her father wasn't at home. Yolo answers of course, "darling", it is a house warming! The Corcega's tell her how serious this is with minors drinking, etc. Yolo tells them all to relax.  Ari and Temo come home and Ari jokes asking if they are getting to the party late.  Imelda accuses the two boys of being a part of it all.

Grecia tries to take the blame as she talks to Neto's boss.  She has no success and Ramón wants all of the money he gave Neto as an advance back, too.  Neto says he earned that money already.  The owner tells the crowd that they are full now and to come back another day. Grecia feels guilty. Crisanta never saw Grecia violent like that.  Crisanta is aggravated that she got all dressed up and didn't get to sing.

Back at the apartment building, Blanca announces that the party is over NOW.  Yolo doesn't think so. She invited 500 people.  Imelda will not permit this in her building. Yolo tells her to sit down or to go to bed. because she is old.  Blanca and Eugenio are angry now and all of the Córcega's come to Imelda's defense. They tell Yolo she cannot talk to Imelda like that and needs to have some kind of respect. Dani, Ari and Linda take control. Linda tells Yolo that someone has to put her in her place. Ari goes to turn off the music. They start emptying the building of partygoers. Dani threatens Yolo with calling the police. Yolo will not back down and tells her to go ahead and call them.

Pancho and Susana will not be blackmailed by Sebas and Julio who have joined forces going on strike unless they get their own rooms.   Sebas doesn't know why he has to share a room. Pancho explains they are becoming a new family and thought they were getting on better.  Sebas and Julio say not that well because one of them is the tomato head and the other is the vampire.  Susana doesn't understand then how they could get together to go on strike.  Julio suggests a hunger strike could come next. With a growling stomach, Sebas does not agree.  The boys decide to give Susana and Pancho the silent treatment besides being on strike and march around their room.

The apartment building is finally cleared out.  Eugenio and Blanca threaten the last few party goers with cutting their hair if they don't move on out. Imelda says they should start with Yolo and leave her bald.  Yolo remarks how much she spends on her hair treatments.  The twins come down and try to shush Yolo but her mouth will not stop.  She hates living in this building in Oaxaca.  Imelda tells her she is just bad mannered. Yolo warns them that worse things are coming so they better be prepared.  Linda tells "blondie" to stop threatening them.  Doesn't Yolo have a grandmother?  No, Yolo says she doesn't. Linda says you can tell.  Imelda blames her father for never telling her what to do.  Imelda tells Yolo she is to clean up the mess she made. Yolo tells Imelda she is not doing a thing and goes upstairs. Imelda asks if the twins are going to complain.  They say no and nervously run up the stairs.  Imelda tells them all that things are not staying like this. Linda agrees.

Susana and Pancho are doing the dishes.   She tells him that they need to think of alternatives. She never thought it would be so hard living in the same house. She thought that the kids and everything would just come together. Pancho knows but thinks things are getting better little by little.  Susana does not agree citing the strike.   If they go to her house, each child will have his own room. Pancho says NO.

Neto is in the basement of the restaurant thinking of being deported andYolo blaming him for everything.

Crisanta wants to move on to another place to make up for the bad time they have had. Grecia wants to wait for "that" man. She doesn't like him but feels responsible for him losing his job.  When Neto comes out, Grecia calls to him to apologize for what happened.  Everything got out of control.  It wasn't her attention that he be fired even though it wasn't much of a job.  She looks stricken when she realizes that she said what she thought. Neto says he believes that any job is  respectable and he needs to be working. She apologizes again and he accepts her apology. He just hopes that they never run into each other again because any day they do is ruined. He turns and leaves.  Grecia tells Crisanta that as much as she tries, she just cannot stand him.

Pancho and Susana talk about their situation. He thinks it wold be a terrible move on their part to give into the kids' blackmail. Susana  asks what the alternative is. Each child deserves their own space.  Pancho makes it clear that he is not giving in because if you give in on one thing, you will be giving in on everything that follows.  Susana is exasperated and needs to get some air before this issue ends up dividing them.  She goes to talk to the Canuto tree.  She needs her father's advice. Why does life have to be so complicated? Neto arrives She asks who he is since she has not seen him there before. He explains that he is the new renter. Now she knows who he is because Pancho told her all about him.  She lives with Pancho and they are engaged.
