Caray, Caray!

In Nonno's office, Neto wants to know what Ariana is doing there. Her response is to the point: she needed to see her family. Neto cannot believe that when she HAD a family and she lost it when SHE abandoned them.  Is she trying to pretend that nothing happened?  Ariana only wants to see the kids and tell them she loves them in spite of all that happened.

Yolo goes to see Hugo to apologize thinking that a nice apology will get her her phone back. No way. It is his job to enforce the rules. She will not get her phone back for 24 hrs. Yolo uses the old "it's not fair" reasoning and finally resorts to begging. She wonders how she will contact Guido. Hugo throws her phone into his desk drawer. If she wants to talk to her dad, she can use his office phone.

Luigi asks Guido one more time if he is sure that he wants to do something agains the kids. It could endanger his inheritance.  Guido couldn't care less. He cannot stand two kids in the group and one of them is Temo.  His revenge will end up hurting all of their families. Temo's death will affect everyone.  Guido smiles just thinking of it all.


Neto calls Ariana incredible just showing up as if she had not hurt them all before. Ariana insists that she is not asking for the impossible.  Neto thinks it is too much. Why didn't she come back sooner?  Ariana explains  she wasn't ready and didn't dare show her face.  It took a long time to even decide to talk to him. Neto adds it has been too long a time since he and the kids are starting a new life. She doesn't understand what he is doing in Oaxaca. Why did he leave Miami?  Neto avoids answering those questions and asks her how she ever found them.   She thinks back on Guido telling her this was a gift. Ariana says it doesn't matter. What is important to her is what is going to happen after today.  She wants to talk more with Neto. She is very much alone. She is very sorry for having left them. She was stupid for leaving her most valuable possession behind. Neto accuses her of doing it out of greed because money has always been more important than anything else. She agrees but now she wants to fix her life. Neto cannot and does not want to keep talking to her. He is at his work. He asks her not to show up there again. He also asks that she not go seeing the kids until he can talk to them first. Ariana informs him she will be staying in Oaxaca and gives him her phone number to call her. Neto is upset.

Dani pitches launching the new commemorative mezcal at the "Flower of Oaxaca" event. Nonno likes their idea but they will have to put the pressure on Neto to create the commemorative mezcal because  it can take  months to create a new mezcal.   Dani starts to cry thinking of Gabriel  and how happy he would be to see how the distillery has grown. Nonno brings up wanting to make the triplets his heirs. Dani refuses to accept his money. She doesn't want money just "given" to them. It is enough that he is allowing her to work at the distillery. Nonno gives in. Neto comes in apologizing for having to use Nonno's office for a personal matter. Neto will work with Dani as Nonno leave to see Imelda. Nonno wonders who that beautiful woman was. Neto says it was his ex wife Ariana.

Diana goes to Hugo's office to pick up her personal items from the office. He informs her that all of her belongings were taken by the janitor and she can get them from him.  Diana only wanted to say goodbye to the school and also to him. Diana explains she is leaving Oaxaca. She knows Hugo doesn't want to be with her and she has to find work. Hugo gulps at the news.

Temo video chats with Diego about how excited he is for his date with Ari.  Ari comes in while he is chatting with Diego.

Diana is ready to start fresh now that she lost her teaching license as punishment. She wishes Hugo all the success he deserves. He can go back to their house. He doesn't want to go back there. She gets it. Polita comes bouncing in all smiles and interrupts the interchange. Polita offers to leave but Diana says there is no reason for that because she is leaving.  Hugo tells Diana that he was hurt by what she did to him but he never wanted to see her unable earn a good living.  Diana nods and leaves.   Polita discusses enrolling in the "Open High School" with Hugo.

Ari takes over the video call. Diego tells him that he has won Temo's heart and that he has never seen Temo so happy.  Diego is only going to ask him once: Is he going to taker care of Temo?  Ari says yes, he promises to take care of him.   Diego says "nice" and with a big smile, he tells them both to have fun.  But then Diego has one more thing to tell Ari before he ends the call. If he breaks Temo's heart, he Diego and the rest of Toluca will make Ari pay.  After the call ends, Temo asks  Ari if everything is okay. Ari says of course it is. Nobody will rob "their" day from them.

In Blanca's kitchen, Linda is telling Blanca and Eugenio all about Julieta, Robert and the kids.  Blanca wonders how Julieta is going to react when she finds out that she has even more family.  They won't be telling them about Neto until they are back.  Linda gives them good news. Linda has never seen Robert and Julieta so mature and united  as they are now. They also miss the whole family and are eager to come back home.  Linda is not sure when they are coming back exactly. It could be weeks or months but they did send them something.  The Oppas  have sent them a poster stating that they will return!  Blanca and Eugenio are all excited. Eugenio makes sure that she didn't tell them about his illness. Linda says nobody said anything. The Oppas will have a lot of new discoveries when they get back. Eugenio looks worried.

Hugo explains to Polita that through the "Open high School" many people are able to finish high school. Polita says that she would do anything for her kids.  Hugo thinks she is a great example.  Hugo will set up a schedule for her and gives her her books.

Back at the distillery, Neto tells Dani all about his ex and her abandoning him and the kids.  Neto doesn't want to lie to his children but he doesn't want her seeing them either.  She doesn't deserve to see them after what she did to them.  Dan can understand  but asks him to think it over carefully. No matter what mistakes his ex has made, she is still their mother. Neto nods as he cries. He knows he has been trying to avoid the inevitable. He thanks Dani for listening to him. It is good to have a sister.

All of the kids have met at the apartment building. Sebas' fetid feet problem is over. His mother took him to the doctor who gave him some really good ointment so his feet will not stink. The kids all laugh and joke around. Linda appears on the scene and sees that Axel is there, too.  They all beg her to go along on Ari and Temo's outing. She agrees. The kids all cheer but Linda is not a happy camper with Axel there.

At lunch, Neto  tells Yolo and the twins that he has something to tell them.  Their mother has come looking for them. All three of them are shocked. Yolo is very excited and wants to know where she is and wants to see her. Neto tells her to calm down. Yolo has a thousand questions.  Neto tells them that their mother wants to see all of them. Neto goes on to impress on them that he loves them, with his whole heart, he would do anything for them and wants them to stay united just like they are now.  He tells them that their mother is in Oaxaca.

Guido is with Luigi in a van. Luigi is driving. Guido has been trying to call Yolo to let her know that her mother is back and doesn't understand why she is not picking up.  Luigi smiles and reminds Luigi that he can get into big problems because Yolo is still a minor. Guido insists he has proof (recordings and messages) that he has done nothing wrong. Luigi  only wants to be sure Guido doesn't make a mistake because feelings can betray you. Guido insists he feels nothing for Yolo.  This whole "romance" is to make Neto suffer. Luigi just smiles.  Guido remembers kissing Yolo.

Pancho gives all of the kids the "rules" before they all go on their "Ari and Temo" outing: no talking to strangers; stay together "united"; call him if there are any problems, do not do anything dangerous. Axel tells Pancho to relax; no worries. He and Linda will take care of the kids.  Audi appears wondering what is going on. Ari explains he is going on a date with his novio. Pancho explains that all of the kids are going on an outing together. It is all under control.

Susana wants the social outing with the Korean investors to go off without a hitch.  She tells Catalina  that it will be at the bar where Neto works. She wants the best appetizers, a little mezcal and music.

Blanca asks Polita how things are going with her "love". Polita tries to clarify that her lawyer, or whatever he is to her,"Eduardo" told her he loved her. Blanca asks how Polita feels.  Polita honestly does not know. Right now, she would like to concentrate on her children, her work and finishing high school. Blanca thinks that Polita deserves a personal life, too. She deserves to feel loved and taken care of.  Polita is surprised Blanca would ever tell her something like that. Years ago she would have told her to go back to Audi.  Blanca admits that now she  realizes how many mistakes Audi has made and his ideas are from past centuries. One has to change with the times. She also knows that now Polita is a free woman.  Polita is grateful for Blanca's support.  Blanca volunteers to help Polita study for her English class. The joyous mood is broken when Audi appears at the door. He would like to talk to Polita

At Neto's, Yolo wants to see her mother right away. Neto would like to put the brakes on the process by giving them all a few days to  "get used to" the idea. Yolo wants to see her now. She has waited years. Santi says yes, he wants to see his mother. Andi is ambivalent. Neto gives in and  will  talk to their mother so she can see them. All of the kids want some answers form their mother.  Yolo wants to ask her why she left them and where she went.  Neto has to go to work but he will get a meeting with their mother organized. He asks if they trust him. The twins say yes. Yolo slightly nods.

As Guido and Luigi watch from their van, Pancho loads all of the kids in La Burra.  They all sing La Burra song braying along with each other as they drive to the site of their outing..

Guido is with Luigi in  the van following La Burra. He is all happy and excited thinking of knocking down all of the  kids like bowling pins in a strike. He wants to sing "La donna è movile" from Rigoletto to get into the mood.  They have two clown masks with them. Guido sings loudly. Luigi just shakes his head and joins Guido in song.

Polita explains to Audi that he has hurt her a lot and his children even more. Audi knows but he was only trying ti be true to his convictions and his beliefs the way he was taught by his mother.  Polita agrees that his ideas and beliefs hurt others a great deal.  Audi is not denying that. That is the reason he is there. He asks for her forgiveness.  Polita cannot forgive him yet. Audi can understand that and hopes that someday she will be able to. Polita asks if he will love his son unconditionally. There is silence.  Polita stipulates that when Audi can love without imposing conditions, then they can talk. Polita goes back in the apartment and cries.

Grecia goes to see Neto at the distillery.  Now that they are novios she says they can be honest and say what they think.  Neto asks if she has seen Félix. No, she hasn't. There is no news. He warns her not to put herself  at risk until the situation is resolved. She agrees to call him if anything happens. Neto is honest and explains he is so tense because his ex has appeared out of nowhere in Oaxaca.

Pancho has dropped the kids off at a huge park.  Ari and Temo are going to set up some picnic stuff while the others are going to get bikes.

Back in the van,  Luigi is telling Guido he is not too sure about the plan. It all seems so exaggerated to him.  Guido ignores what he says and tells Luigi to put on his clown masks so he can see what he looks like. Guido sees Luigi with the mask on and laughs saying he looks like something from a horror movie.  Guido points out where the kids are going to come out and when they do, THEIR horror movie will begin.

Neto expresses to Grecia how much he is worried for his children now that Ariana has found them and that Yolo wants to see her today. Grecia asks what he is going to do.  Neto is going to call his ex but  deep down he really  doesn't want to talk to her. He doesn't want the kids to see her either. He is afraid she will connect with the kids again especially Yolo and take her back to the USA. Grecia reminds him that legally he has the advantage because she abandoned her home and family.  Neto knows that but when it comes to feelings, Yolo was always glued to her mother. He is worried he will lose his kids. Grecia tries to assure him that he won't be separated from his kids. Grecia is there for him.

Yolo is busy cleaning their apartment. It has to be beautiful for her mother.  She believes that in a family, everyone always forgives each other. Andi is not convinced.  Yolo tells him that when their mother comes through the door, the twins will be as excited as she is. The twins help her clean but are not excited.
