Caray, Caray!

Hey, JudyB, hope you are settled in and ready for the show.  Save me a seat. I have some chocolates for us to snack on. This looks like this going to be a good episode  tonight. 

1. Olga tells Ben she wants him to be quiet as a "tomb" because if he isn't,  she is going to cut his tongue out and give it to the dogs to eat. He starts to beg her not to as he cries. She covers his mouth and goes on to threaten to put a spell on his Granny Magos if he doesn't behave himself with her. Ben  promises her that he will behave well with her. She says that is good because he now knows what is going to happen. She tells him to stick out his tongue and touches it with her gross fingernail. She repeats that she will cut his tongue out as he begs her not to. She shushes him to be quiet.

2.  At the rooming house, Chole asks Vale how Tavo is doing. She says he is real sad and she knows he misses her. Chole says there are some things that just are not negotiable and this is one of them. Chole explains it isn't because they do not love each other. They want very different things out of life. She wants a family and a baby but hat is the last thing Tavo wants. What really offended her is that he wanted to compensate her by offering her the rooming house and the beauty shop property. Vale sees that as  such a good opportunity to own something. Vale cannot see accepting a house as a gift. Vale suggests that she buy it from Tavo by making monthly payments until she is the owner. Vale has to admit that isn't a bad idea. 

3. Natalia and Chente are outside as she and her family are ready to leave. Neither Chente or Natalia want her to go but Natalia tells him they both realize it is for the best. She reminds him that the most important thing is that he gives Olga a time limit on her stay. He says that today he will be looking for a place where she can go. Natalia tells him she will be going to the house that Adrián bought for her girls. He asks if he is going to be living there, too. Natalia says no and if he were living there, it wouldn't have even been an option for her. She makes it clear that she wants to return to his side ASAP.  She will be back tomorrow so they can get the space for the fonda underway. He affirms that they will be seeing each other every day. They kiss and are interrupted by Ben who is packed and wants to to go with his mamá Natalia.  Chente asks Ben if he is going to leave him alone as Ben clings to Natalia. Natalia asks that he allow Ben to go with her at least for tonight. She will bring him back tomorrow. Chente tells him to behave himself and to take care of Natalia and her daughters, too. Ben salutes and says he will.  That is what Chente wanted to hear; his beautiful voice. He kisses Ben and then Natalia guides him to the car. Chente watches them leave with tears in his eyes. 

4. Olga is watching out of the window being pleased that they finally left and even took the kid along, too.   There is a knock at the door. She hurriedly crawls back in bed to reprise her role as the destroyed Olga. It is Granny Magos who wants to know if she is feeling any better. Olga says no. She tells Granny Magos that she got stabbed, beaten and raped in case she didn't know. Granny Magos says she was sorry to hear that. Her grandsons brought her up to date on what happened. She goes to check out the wound on Olga's head and Olga recoils in pain. Granny Magos explains that she thought that the attack was all in her head. She explains that she has never really liked Olga but she is really very sorry that she went through what she did. She assures her that she and her grandsons will do whatever they can to get her well, moved out of here and on her way. Olga asks her not to mess with her since they are going to be living in the same house. Granny Magos says she is going to go rest just like Olga needs to do, too. Before she exits the room, Granny Magos turns and warns Olga that she will not allow her to use the guilt that her grandson is feeling for her to manipulate him. If she was planning on getting something else from all of this, it won't be happening. 

5. Mario is at the garage where Tavo and another mechanic are working. JuanGa is taking his granny to the hospital for an appointment.  Vale comes back after  picking up auto parts.   She tells him that she had to buy the parts at other shops and not at Chente's. Tavo is concerned about Chente's business. His workers are neglecting his business. He could lose his customers. Mario says all Chente cares about now is Natalia. Vale adds there is also Olga who went to live there. Chole comes in wanting to talk to Tavo. Tavo is suddenly all smiles. 

6. Chente brings Olga's luggage to her room and asks if she needs help unpacking. She tells him not to worry about it. Olga makes a big deal about her wound hurting her. She asks Chente to take a look at it for her. He takes off the dressing and tells her it is looking good. She, of course, disagrees reminding him she will have that scar for the rest of her life. Chente tells her it is nothing important because she is alive. He gets out a fresh bandage and covers the wound while she whines because it hurts. He asks if she needs anything else. She says only her pills over there. He gets them for her. She makes him put one in her mouth like a kid. She takes a drink of water. Chente is visibly uncomfortable.

7. Tavo compliments Chole from the moment  she sits down in his office as she complains about wanting to have a child. Chole suggests that she could buy the property from him with what she is paying in rent. Tavo doesn't see that as necessary.  She doesn't want something for nothing. He says he will accept her idea only if all of the rent she has already paid is applied to the purchase price. She says if that is the case, she wouldn't owe that much. He tells her she cannot reject  his suggestion. It is a fair deal. She has to give in on this. She says she already has had to give in on not having a child, not being with the man she loves  and not having a family. As far as she is concerned, he hasn't given up a thing. She leaves in a huff. 

8. Chente goes to leave Olga because he has to get something for her to eat and then to work. She accuses u him of not caring about her. She is in his house but he probably wishes she had died on the side of the highway. Chente has had enough of her.  She tells him to stop yelling. He asks if she realizes that  he is not with his own son who just started talking again  and has left Natalia leave the house so it would be more to her liking. Is that treating her as if she doesn't matter? Olga reminds him that this was all his fault and he answers that he knows it but all she does is rub it in over and over and over again. He is going to find professional help for her and a place she can live because he won't have her regressing. He informs her she will be at his house only for tonight and tomorrow they will find a place for her to go. He reminds her that he said he would help her get what she needed but she cannot live in his house. He repeats one more time that she is leaving tomorrow and will be out of there.

9. Natalia and the family arrive at the new house. Andrea is over the moon with how wonderful it is. Claudio finds the whiskey with no problem and sees the house as a good preview to the luxury that he and Tere will find in Fort de France. Natalia finds it over the top. Andrea wants her father there with her and Regina so they can be a family. Natalia is not happy to be there.

10. Chente comes back with food for Olga and finds her unconscious on the floor with the bottle of her pills in her hand. He tries to get her to wake up but has no luck. 

11. Adrián wants to talk to Mario about a new business proposal. Mario wants all the money Adrián stole from him returned instead.  Adrián says that Mario was the most skilled partner he has had and if they both work really hard they will back to where they were in six months. Adrián wants him as partner again. He has the perfect business deal to pay him back for everything he lost and at the same time they can get Vicente out of Natalia's life. 

12. Granny Magos walks in on Olga and Chente asking what is going on. Chente tells her she took all of these pills and if she were to die, he would never forgive himself. He finally takes out his phone and calls for an ambulance. 

13. Mario tells Adrián he is crazy and that he would never be his partner again since he is a damn thief. Adrián jumps up and tries to get him to listen. Vero and his sister robbed him, too.  Mario accuses him of lying but Adrián insists that they set him up to look guilty and take the fall. Mario still doesn't believe him but does admit his sister admired Vero in a sort of sick way.  Adrián says that Vero had dominated his sister. Adrián insists that his sister was in on it. Mario has a hard time believing that. Adrián says that  they are the ones who left them with nothing.  Mario looks like he is rethinking the situation. 

14. Andrea gives Regina, Natalia  and Ben a  tour of the house. Natalia is polite but not impressed. Andrea tells her to think about being able be to wake up to silence with none of the street noises from  the neighborhood.  Natalie laughs and says she really misses the neighborhood noises where they were. Regina agrees. Ben starts to imitate one of the street vendors and jumps on the bed with Regina and Natalia who join in.The three laugh while Andrea looks annoyed. 

15. Mario tells Adrián that it is very easy to accuse his sister since she is not there to defend herself. Adrián says she let him sit in jail in spite of all the money she had. Mario never mattered to her. Adrián tells him how the women took what he had left and disappeared. He is who ended up in jail just like Mario while both of them were innocent. Mario still has  a problem with him "his best friend" because he betrayed him by running away with the woman he was going to marry.  Adrián admits that was his mistake but he explains that he lost his head over Vero. He tells Mario that  damn Vero played with both of them at her whim. Mario's "future wife AKA  his lover" was planning on stealing every last cent. Mario insists that Vero has to pay for what she did. Adrián agrees and he is searching for her. Adrián asks him to join him in seeking justice. 

16. Back at the garage, Tavo was just offering excellent customer service by agreeing to fix a car in the midst of being extremely busy when JuanGa comes in. Tavo decides to give him another chance and asks him to take care of this car that probably has  a brake fluid leak or something like it.   JuanGa is pleased and says of course he can take care of it. He adds that his granny told him today he has to be the best at what he does so he is ready to do it. 

17. Adrián  asks Mario to let past resentments go and extends his hand. He declares that he has changed. Mario laughs out loud and  asks if Adrián is going to start the finance company again. Adrián knows that they both lost their credibility in that sector. That is why he is planning on getting into business in totally different areas with Elías Hadad. Mario now can understand why he has this office. Adrián explains that Elías has all of the contacts to import products from China that are of a very good quality at a very good price. Adrián says there is a market for  those products that has not yet been exploited: auto parts. and accessories. They can establish their own distribution company with the lowest prices in the industry.  Mario and Adrián talk about how they could drive Chente out of business and into bankruptcy by offering special and  exclusive contracts to all of the auto repair shops. Mario smiles.

18. The ambulance comes and to take Olga away. Chente gives the paramedic the pills Olga took. The paramedic says she could lose her life if they do not hurry. Chente goes with her to the hospital. 

19. Mario says he doesn't like Chente  but doesn't want to hurt him either. Adrián explains you have to take advantage of every opportunity in business and if Chente is not taking proper care of his business, it is not his problem.  They can start with their business in Mexico and then move into Latin America. They can go 50/50 in costs and earnings. Before he gives an answer, Mario wants to actually look over the products to see if they are of a good quality or not. He asks if Adrián is not concerned with how cheap they are. Mario has a mechanic in mind who he will have take a look at the parts. He really trusts her. 

20. Vale has come by the house to talk to Olga about a topic she cannot get out of her mind. Granny Magos knows it must be about Olga telling that guy who wanted to hurt her where she was. Vale agrees that is it. Granny Magos says she cannot see her because the crazy girl took a ton of pills and they found her laid out on the floor. She was in a bad way. An ambulance took her away and Chente went along.

21. The doctor tells Chente that they were in luck that Olga arrived in time and they were able to  pump her stomach.  The doctor says it is a sad situation that women who have been abused like her end up in a cycle of depression.  Chente says he has tried to help her but he cannot be with her 24/7. The doctor says she has  to have somebody with her at all times in case there is a sign that she might do some damage to herself again. She needs to be treated with affection and understanding. She will never be able to get over all of this on her own. She will need help at home and mental health services. Chente is overwhelmed

22. Elías asks Mario how things went with Adrián. He says he did what Elías asked him to do but it was hard agreeing  to work with him again. Elías knew that Adrián would take his suggestion since he sees Mario as being easy to manipulate and needing a job. Mari is very confused by it all. He is so resentful of Adrián.  Elías gets it because he felt the same when Adrián stole from  him. He is a swindler and a thief. There is no other way he could have bought 30% of the shares of his company. Mario says if Elías didn't have a plan to trap Adrián, he would have turned him down.  Eías knows that Adrián will not be able to resist the temptation to steal again. Elías is going to make it very easy for him and when he bites the hook, he and Mario will destroy him. They toast to that.

23. Chente calls Natalia. He asks how she likes the new house. She talks about how much she loves theirs and how she wants to come back. He then tells her he must have been too hard on Olga by telling her she was going to be moved out tomorrow to find a place for her to live. Natalie says he did the right thing. (one more time) She emphasizes that are many ways he can help her without her living with him. Chente tells her that Olga tried to kill herself. 

24. Mario isn't sure he can do this. He isn't like him and Adrián who  see people like chess pieces on a board. Elías says that is how his life is every single day. This  mpire that he built didn't come from him being a good person. Mario says he couldn't deal with enemies all over. Elías says in business, one must know how to defend oneself and also when to  shoot to kill. You cannot take pity on anybody. If he wants an office here in his world, he has to learn the rules of the game or he can go back to his mediocre life. Mario says nothing. Elías throws him a stack of cash and tells him it is an advance. He has to dress like he did before. His current second hand look is depressing. 

25. Back at the  shop, JuanGa tells Simba he wants Tavo to know he is the best mechanic he has. Simba laughs and tells him he is crazy. That is Vale.  When Simba finds out that Olga is at Chente's, he says that is what she wanted all along. JuanGa says no, she was in a bad way and that is why she is there. He tells Simba that if he ever finds to who beat and raped her, he will kill him. 

26. At the hospital, Chente checks in on Olga. He tells her that life is sacred and she has no right to reject it like she did. She says she doesn't have a real nice life like he has. She doesn't have any reasons to fight like he has. Nobody wants her. He dan't even stand her. He says he is there with her. She asks him if he doesn't want her out of his house. She tells him to accept that is the case already and end this torment. 

27. Natalia tells her mother that she really doesn't want to stay at this house. Tere suggests they leave. She and Regina will support her. Natalia says Andrea will not  understand and Olga is at Chente's. Tere says that Claudio will be there, too, but she isn't  going to worry about it. Her mother reminds her that Chente promised her that Olga would stay only for a short time.  Natalia tells her the latest that Olga tried to take her own life. 

28. Connie comes in with bags of baby things. She calls out for Andrea but Andrea isn't there. The maid  tells her that Andrea moved out earlier to live at her father's house. Connie is not happy and she drops the bags. 

29. Natalia explains that Olga is going to live there for longer than they thought.  Natalia recognizes that Chente has a certain responsibility with Olga. Tere agrees that he is paying the price for what he did but that does not justify what Olga is doing. Natalia loves Chente a lot and wants to support him. Tere says  they left so Olga wold have a tranquil place to stay and Natalia wouldn't have to put up with her being there.  Natalia now thinks that she never should have gone. She loves Chente and wants to be with Chente in the good times and the bad.  Tere tells her to go ahead and move back. Natalia is concerned about how all of this is affecting Chente. She could be there to help him. Tere agrees and it would also be better to be closer to watch what Olga is doing. Natalia says that Granny Magos told her the same thing. Tere says it is clear that Olga is taking advantage of Chente's guilt and she doesn't want to imagine how far she is willing to go with things.  Natalia adds like trying to  kill herself with pills. Natalia thinks she did it so Chente wouldn't have her leave the house. Tere says Olga is the perfect example of the saying "Piensa mal y acertarás" (If you think the worst, you will not be wrong. ) Natalia decides she is going back.  Tere will go with her. 

30. Vale looks at the car that JuanGa repaired and tells him that he did a good job.  They go together to run some errands. When they are gone, Simba gives the car JuanGa repaired his own kind of tune up. 

31. Natalia is going to announce to the family that she is moving back to Chente's when Adrián appears with his suitcase. He is ready to move in and live with them as the great family they are. Ben runs to Natalia. Andrea is happy. Regina isn't. 

32. Connie is angry that Andrea is not answering her calls and because the maid didn't stop her from leaving.  She calls her useless and tells her to get out. Connie says that  if Andrea thinks she is going to make fun of her she is very wrong.

33. Regina goes to stand by her mother. Adrián says he will only be staying if Natalia allows him to. He would love to live with his family. Natalia says this is what she imagined with him showing up at the house but it was her  own fault for having come in the first place. She reminds him that they are separated. He says the house has enough bedrooms for everybody to have their own. They could try it out for  a week. Natalia says he can stay for as long as he wants because he did buy the house.  He thanks her for giving him that opportunity. Natalia says they are ready to go back to Chente's. Andrea wants her to stay. Claudio tries to give his opinion but Tere shuts him up.  Adrián admits he did the wrong thing by not checking with Natalia first so he is going to be the one to leave. That neighborhood where Chente lives is very dangerous not only for her but also for his daughters. Natalia tells him he doesn't have to worry because her neighborhood is very safe with honorable people who make a living by working not like criminals. It is also HER house, their HOME. He then tells her that considering her relationship with Chente,  it doesn't send the right message that they are living  under the same roof. She tells him that the person who she could never imagine living under the same roof with, even if she were mad,  is HIM.  She wants him to know that she and Chente are still together and more in love than ever.

34. Mario gets into his car thinking that Adrián is going to pay for everything he did to him and he will avenge the death of his sister. 

35. Mario goes by himself to a restaurant. Fernanda is there and calls out to him. Neither has come with anyone so they decide to have dinner together. She says she is used to eating alone and had a hard day at work and asks what his excuse is. He explains that he got a great opportunity at work so he is celebrating. He is happy to getting back on his feet economically speaking. She says they need to toast to their "states of solitude" that found each other  this evening. 

36. JuanGa turns the car he repaired over to the owner who is taking a highway trip and needs it to be operating perfectly. He goes over everything he did. A pleased Tavo gives her the receipt and the keys. As soon as she starts the car, there is smoke coming out from under the hood. They have to use a fire extinguisher. JuanGa has no idea what happened. Simba watches and laughs. 

37. Chente brings Olga back to his house. She knows he doesn't want her there. He says she can stay as long as she needs. She doesn't believe him. He tells he she has to be strong. He cannot help her if she won't help herself.  Where is she supposed to get her strength from? She says no man is ever going to want her after she has been though. Nobody will take her seriously. Chente says that is not true and that is why she needs to go to therapy. She knows already that a man will never want a woman who has been raped. They will say she went looking for it. He repeats that is why she needs a psychologist. He says that therapy really helped his son. She says the he Chente is the answer to all her problems. She has always loved him and only feels safe with him. She asks why  he bothered with the ambulance? He just should have left her to sleep forever  and never to  wake up. He says he feels really bad for her and if she doesn't get better, they both will be messed up. He promises that as long as he is alive,  nobody will hurt her but she has to promise him that she is going to try to get better. She asks if he'll be with  her. He hits her on the shoulder like one of the guys and tells her that is what he said. 

38. Chente come back in the house with Olga.  She goes limp because she is "so weak." As Chente tries to support her, she kisses him. Nobody knows that Natalia is back as she enters the living room and  sees the kiss.  She yells "Chente!"  Natalia is not pleased.
