Caray, Caray!

Blanca is recording another internet cooking lesson. This time it is a  recipe for Blanca's "pozole blanco." Suddenly there is a  knock at her door. When she answers it, there is a huge group of her internet followers: #blancafans also self-identified as the first members of her international fan club. Blanca is shocked but tries to smile as they cheer for her.

Neto and Dani talk about the possibility of him being Eugenio's son.  Dani says that her family are good people and if it turns out that he is part of the family, they will welcome him with open arms.

The fans join Blanca in the living room. Linda and Eugenio come in and wonder who all of these people are. The group answers with "Blanca fans" shouting in unison.  Blanca cannot believe that she is famous. The fans reassure her that she is much more famous than she thinks. It all started out with a small fan club in Oaxaca but soon there were fans all over Mexico.  They are there to ask Blanca to get together with all of her fans and give a talk. Blanca is so surprised and to tries to explain that she is really very shy. Linda tells her that she would be great and to think back on the English classes she gave. Eugenio sees this as an opportunity to continue being a positive influence on her fans. Blanca finally accepts.  All of the fans cheer.


The board of dieectors  has named Axel as Pancho's personal assistant. Casandra isn't too excited to be the assistant of the assistant.  They talk about Pancho having been a very respected executive. Axel checked his CV. Casandra tells them that Julieta is not going to like this one bit when she finds out.  Catalina thinks that Julieta will understand.  Axel is concerned about how Pancho working there might affect his mother. Catalina agrees that a married couple working together can be hard to manage.  Casandra notices that Catalina is tense. What's up?  Catalina explains that she has found out some information that affects her little boy. She starts to cry.

Hugo meets with Diana in her office. He is ready to take her up on her offer and tells her that nothing can stop them as a couple. Diana is visibly upset. She cannot lie anymore. She confesses she is the "sapito" (little frog) and responsible for the "belching attack."

Grecia lectures her class on "self-awareness and introspection". Ari and Temo volunteer talking about self-knowledge leading to self-assurance; being more in keeping with one's own essence and one's own ( not society's) expectations; and being brave. Yolo is busy drawing hearts with her and Guido's names on  them. She gets a text from Guido confirming  their date. Grecia tells "Yolotl" to pay attention. Yolo corrects Grecia: it is "Yolo".

Guido is on the phone with Luigi informing him that he has a plan against the Córcega's and Ernesto Rey. It is going to take a long time but Guido is going to find it very enjoyable since it has to do with a beautiful woman  who is important to Ernesto.  He is out to destroy Ernesto's heart.

Hugo cannot believe that his own wife made him go through the worst time in his life; she could sit in the principal's seat again?  Diana explains that she loves him but didn't want to give up her dream.  Hugo sees true love as being loyal so that wasn't love. He will never forgive her and doesn't want to hear anymore. He leaves

Polita, Ari and Arqui  are back in court. The court has been given new evidence in the child custody case.  Temo texts Ari giving him his support now and always. Ari looks happy.

Guido meets Yolo in the hallway of the apartment building and tells he that she looks spectacular. She cannot stay out too long because she has to be back before her dad comes home from work. Guido says they will take advantage of their time together.

Pancho and Susana are still at work. He thinks it is time to go home. They have done a lot of work but they have to rest, too.  She agrees but informs him that he has a meeting at 7:00 a.m. because there are some issues that she doesn't agree with that have to be "discussed".  He would rather hear that the issue  has to be "commented on".  She also wants to "comment" on some things at home. Pancho thinks it would be good if they left work at the office and at home  they were just Pancho and Susana, husband and wife. They shake on it. Susana hopes their work life doesn't ruin their personal life.

Back in court, the judge has made a decision. Due to Polita's economic problems and unsanitary conditions in her home, temporary custody is being awarded to his father so he and Arqui's grandmother can care for him. Polita is destroyed.

Blanca still cannot believe she has fans that want to see her. Linda reminds her that she is a super cook and a super woman. Eugenio is happy that Blanca will be able to spend some time with her fans.
The happy mood changes when Eugenio gets a call from the lab that the DNA results will be ready tomorrow.

Grecia pays Neto a surprise visit at the distillery knowing he had a lot of work. That way he would have no excuse for cancelling their supper together. He teases he and pretends to see a gigantic spider on her head.  She guesses he just wanted to get closer to her. They have a flirty good time. They kiss. Neto also likes how everything has been developing so naturally between them. They like each other but she is in favor of things going more slowly. She admits to having had a very bad experience that  is not so easy to forget. She came to Oaxaca to start fresh and focus on her professional life. Neto understands being in the position of having a family he has to support. They agree that at this time it is best to be just friends. They shake on it.  She has a taste for  pizza and a little mezcal. He remembers her getting drunk as a skunk on mezcal and says perhaps mezcal is not the best choice for her so maybe it is only a pizza.

Guido has taken Yolo to  a horror movie complete with popcorn. Their hands touch when sharing popcorn. He apologizes. She smiles and says it is okay.

A hysterical Polita tells the judge exactly what she thinks of Audifaz and his family but judge will not give her one more day with her son. Audi has immediate custody.  Audi puts on his hat and takes Arqui from a sobbing Polita.

Linda tries to calm  her parents down about the pending DNA results.  Blanca leaves the room. Eugenio is concerned about Robert's and Marisol's reactions if the results are positive. Neto has three children. That would be a lot more family. He feels like Blanca hates him. Linda says Blanca doesn't hate him but she needs her time and space.

Blanca is n her room with Dave and Frida. Dave has made a sign saying he is going to miss Blanca since he is going to spend some time with his parents in Africa. Blanca says  he will be back before he knows it.  Frida asks if Robert and Julieta will be back soon. Blanca hopes so. She sends Dave to brush his teeth. Blanca goes over Frida's homework with her. She also asks her how things are going with her cramps. Frida is getting used to them but her mood changes are something else. Blanca says all of that is normal.  Blanca can make her some special magic tea for her cramps if she asks. They chat. Frida thinks that Blanca is the best.

The Rey twins are still thinking about solving the Guido mystery. They think back on dropping the box with the white powder. Santi doesn't think it will be easy. They agree that nothing has been easy in Oaxaca except for being in the building. They both see Frida as an angel blowing them kisses. They discover they both like Frida. They argue about who she is going to like best.

Susana decides that she and Pancho will not drive to work each day in La Burra. She reminds him that he has to do his vegetable vendor before coming to work with her. They agree on separate cars.
The secretaries and assistants all agree it must be "mega" complicated working with your partner. "MEGA!"

Hugo comes to see Catalina because Diana broke his heart in two. Catalina takes care of her Hugo.
Diana sits at home on her bed, looks at pictures of Hugo and her together. She cries.

Neto has ordered a pizza to the distillery. Grecia asks how the kids are doing. The twins are doing well but Yolo cannot get returning to the USA out of her head.  Grecia tells him to give her time because Yolo is doing well at school. Neto is concerned about what is going to happen if Eugenio is his father. Grecia says Eugenio is a great man but his illness isn't giving him a lot more time. Neto could help him create more memories.  Talking about memories, Neto changes the subject to her.

During a scary scene of the movie, Yolo loses control of the popcorn (it goes flying),  grabs Guido around his neck and pulls herself close to him. Guido is confused. He tells her nicely to calm down. She apologizes. He tells her not to worry. He suggests that maybe next time they see a comedy or a love story but if it is another horror movie, he will be there to protect her. She smiles.

Polita tells Audi, Imelda and Tulio that taking helpless Arqui away from her was the lowest thing they could have done. Imelda suggests that Polita take this time to get out of debt and to correct the wrong ways of Ari. Audi  assures Polita that Arqui will be very well cared for and she can see him as much as she wants.  Ari steps up and tells them that he can accept them having rejected him but he will never forgive them for what they did to his mother. Tulio thinks it is time to go.

At home, Pancho cannot wait to take off his dress shoes. He takes off his shoes and socks and relaxes his feet by massaging them.  There is no sympathy from Susana.

Sebas asks  Susana if she and and Pancho are going to work together. Every day? In the same office? Susana looking like she has been pushed over the edge. She answers "yes" and that she is still getting used to it herself. Julio thinks it is funny. Axel comments that "funny" isn't quite the word. Pancho states that the wants to "evolve". Susana gives him "the look". He continues saying he wants to get out of his "comfort zone" and work hand in hand with his little Susana. He grabs her hand. She pulls it away.  It will be a great learning experience. He hopes they can spend more time together. Lupita asks about getting a new house.  Susana thinks it is best to put that off with all of the changes they are going through. Now they need to organize themselves in this house, which she makes clear belongs to all of them, and at work.

Grecia starts to tell Neto her story. It all started out with a patient  named Félix whose therapy went from weeks to months. He was sort of a psychopath but she thought that he was getting something out of the therapy and that he was progressing until one day he confessed that he was in love with her. At that point, she explained that she could no longer be his therapist. It would not be ethical. He became obsessed with her visiting her at the office and leaving her messages.  One night he got into her house. He missed her and wanted everything to be  like it had been before seeing her every week.  She asked him to leave. He attacked her and stabbed her. She took a bottle and hit him in the head. She thought she had killed him. She saw her own blood and freaked out. The ambulance and police arrived and he was alive. She testified against him in court but even from jail, Félix continued calling her and threatening her. It has been really hard to recover from the attack and now she is afraid that he will get out of jail and track her down. Neto tells her she was not responsible for anything and not to worry. He won't find her. She has the López's, the Córcega's and especially him to protect her.

Yolo and Guido return to the apartment building.  Guido thought it was fun because he had never been to the movies in Mexico. They can do it again. Yolo says next time the movie is HER choice.They flirt a bit. Yolo needs to go in. She touches Guido's arm and kisses him on the cheek.  Once she is gone, Guido calls Luigi to see if he accomplished what he wanted done at the lab. Luigi says he did and everything will be ready for tomorrow.
