Caray, Caray!

⦁ Omar has escaped from Papi Elias and driven over to Constanza's to speak to Andrea about a change in plans.  Conniving Connie refuses to let him speak with her.  She tells him Andi never wants to hear from him again.  He insists on hearing it directly from Andi. Nopers.  So he starts screaming for Andi at the top of his lungs.  Connie threatens to call the police.  Ruh-roh!! He behaves but insists and tries explaining.  (It's a good try, but Connie's way ahead of him here.)   He says he's leaving the country and needs to explain why. "--And the wedding?"  "--There's been an emergency." "-- insist after those disgusting pictures of you kissing that prostitute!  Yes, my niece has proof! And, I suppose you spent the night with her also, or am I wrong?  She wants nothing more to do with you.  Don't come here again."  He gets the door in his face.  

⦁ Conniving Connie steals Andi's phone and erases messages then pockets it. Andi wakes and asks if Omar came by.  Con lies that he did not.  Andi looks but cannot find it. Connie changes the subject to Andi's angst about not being good for the baby and it's only a shame that the boy doesn't have the decency to show his face and own up.  " --A woman never runs after a man.  Besides, I doubt you'll ever hear from him again." 

⦁ Omi drives away and a few blocks later sirens go off behind him.  He's pulled over, put in handcuffs, and then thrown into the back of the police car.  The cops check in with Elias who reminds them what they're supposed to do.  Turns out it's a favor from one of the comandante's he's in tight with.  

⦁ Connie chats further with Andi and tries to give her all the good reasons to stay with her during the pregnancy, and after if she wants.  She suggests she'd even adopt Andi's baby if possible, to give it all the luxuries Andi and her mother now can never give it.  ]

⦁ At the rooming house, Mario and Valentina are chugging a couple of chilled ones and having a great time till Mario brings up Natalia.  Tina tells him straight that Nata only sees him as a friend and really seems attracted to Vicente.  Mario thinks he can change that in time.  Before Tina can say more, Chole and Olga appear.  Tina introduces Chole and explains Mario's taking the newly vacated room upstairs.  

⦁ Connie's doorbell rings again and this time it's Natalia and company.  Nata immediately launches at Connie accusing her of moving in on her daughter's emotions and attempting to stomp on her rights as Andi's mother.  Not true, swears Connie and Regina is her witness she was only doing what Andi asked her to.

⦁ Upstairs, Nata complains that Andi shouldn't have lied or forced her sister to lie about something as serious as her pregnancy.  Nata says this is the moment they should be the closest and she wants to help her with her pregnancy.  She cannot offer all the luxuries, but she can work and provide the basics for her and the baby and they'll all get beyond this moment and do well enough in life.   Andi doesn't care; she's staying with her aunt.    

⦁ Omi is taken by the police to the private jet and forced to get on it.  

⦁ Chole says welcome to Mario.  Vulga politely introduces herself as Jaunga races over and marks his territory again: "--I'm her boyfriend, and you're Don Tavo's pal." Tina laughs at the idea. Chole snickers in the background that she doubts this relationship will last very long.  

⦁ Back at Connie's manse, Claudio and Teresa arrive.  Tere knows Connie's got ulterior motives in allowing Andi to stay during the pregnancy.  She takes Connie out for a private conversation.  Tere asks what's behind the plan to keep Andi at the house during her pregnancy.  Connie lies that Omi has left Andi and wants nothing more to do with her.  The same story is repeating itself.  Tere says she's the last to hold this over somebody considering her poor marriage and relationship with Gustavo.  Connie throws it back in Tere's face that she was always the other woman with her father until that freeloading opportunist, Claudio found the cajones to ask her to marry him.   

⦁ Back in the barrio, Tina tells Vulga she wonders how one morning she heads off with her sights set on Chente and comes back as his brother's girlfriend.  Vulga says well, it began as a mistaken kiss, but then, it was so good, something magical, that she couldn't resist  And, well, she realized that even though she thought she had a chance once Chente became a widower, but then got tired of wasting her time and emotion on a guy who only sees her as a friend. She and Juanga agreed to give it a chance.  And, if Juanga tries anything she'll put a stop to it immediately. She's going to her wedding as a virgin!  They bring up how Chente and Mario both seem to have a thing for Nata and neither one sees the attraction.

⦁ Outside the manse, Connie and Nata have a hard chat.  Nata is certain Connie has an ulterior motive behind being so attendant with her daughter.  "--You never do anything without you're standing to benefit from it.  What's the advantage here?  What are your intentions?"  Connie pretends it's solely familial obligations and that she's got more to give Andi whereas Nata can only give her the minimum, IF that.  With Connie, she won't lack even the basics.  Nata sheds bitter tears because she knows her sister is right about this.

⦁ Back at the rooming house, Juanga and Chole are in the kitchen while he tries making cocoa.  Chole asks if he's serious about Chole because she knows that her cousin wouldn't give up on Chente that easily and she doesn't want him hurt. Juanga gets flustered and scorches the chocolate. He walks angrily out of the room.

⦁ Connie comes back into the living room.  Tavo says he's going up to see Andi but Connie objects and says let her rest.  Tavo says he doesn't buy her good intentions toward his niece.  What's going on, really.  She lies that she's only following his advice to relent and try acting charitable with her relatives.  Now that she's pregnant, well, she never could have children.  Tavo gets the point.  Again she hits him with his manhood issues. She could take care of the baby instead.  He tells her this is silly; they don't have a relationship and yet she wants to adopt a baby anyway.  A baby deserves more, a stable home where there's true love. "--This ain't it!"  Connie turns on Tavo like a mad dog again and brings up his inability in bed.  Chole would be so disappointed, wouldn't she?  No, there'll be no divorce.  Period.  

⦁ Elias and Sammie argue that although Omi is now in England and has no phone, the problem is resolved.  Sam reminds him that Andi's got a bun in the oven that shouldn't get baked.

⦁ Chente and Nata are back at the house in the barrio.  She's in tears over Connie and Andi giving her the hard cold facts.  Nata, though, wants to be a part of her daughter's pregnancy and somehow this prevents her.  

⦁ The next morning Chente wakes up from a dream where he's in bed with Nata and has got his arms around her.  They kiss each other awake. 

⦁ Later that morning, Mario gets turned down for a job.  His friends tell him that the issue is his connection with Adrien's absconding with everyone's money.  He'll never work in the industry again.

⦁ Back in Chente's kitchen, Nata is finishing up the Club's dessert order.  She tells him that with the sale of the pastries and the money from the sale of her car she's going to rent an apartment that Andi will not object to.  That way, she and her daughters will continue to live with her and she can provide for them as she feels she should.  Chente asks her to reconsider.  He would even make any renovations needed for them to all feel comfortable.  Nata refuses and he asks that she at least think about it.  He doesn't want her to leave.  But she insists, he could live and not feel them invading his space and privacy any longer.

⦁ Connie gets an unexpected call from William and he demands that she meet him.  She has no choice and gives the maid orders to tell anybody who asks that Andrea is not in.

⦁ Chole comes to visit Tavo in his office.  After they kiss he tells her sadly that his wife is never going to give him a divorce willingly.  

⦁ Downstairs in the garage, Donovan is complaining to Simba that he's substituting used parts for new ones and cheating both Tavo and his customers.  Simba tells him to simmer down; it's no skin off his nose anyway.  Then Juanga and Vulga walk into the garage together.  Simba starts the insults and sneers that she's Juanga's and how many other guys' girlfriend.  Besides, Juanga's a fool if he believes Vulga's interested in anyone but Chente!  Juanga goes after Simba.  

⦁ At The Club, Sammie runs into Connie   She hasn't got time to worry about Sammie's cowardly son's numerous issues.  Sammie insists that her boy's been the victim in all of this.  Sammie suggests that Andi's pregnancy needs aborting.  Connie says to forgeddabowdit. Ain't gonna happen!  Don't you even think about getting anywhere near my niece.  I won't allow it!
