Caray, Caray!

⦁ We again watch as Adrian so artfully rips to shreds the divorce papers Natalia came with for him to sign.  He says, "--Not now or ever will I divorce you as I only love you."  And, Vicente, at the same time is telling off Mario.  He says he'd prefer to lose his clients rather than lose his dignity.  (Ok.  We know where this is leading and it forebodes bad times ahead....)

⦁ Nata warns Adi through gritted teeth that with or without his agreement, this divorce will happen.  (Ex-queezy me, but...) she has plenty of evidence of infidelity with him running away with Veronica, including Mario's seeing the two of them embracing as well as that smoking hot smooch while waiting in line to board the plane the night of his anniversary.   When Nata reminds him of this he attacks her and practically tries forcing her to kiss and embrace him right then and there at the restaurant, but Nata fights back.  It's only her pride keeping her at a distance; he can feel her trembling in his arms; therefore it's obvious she still loves him.  She slaps him hard and breaks away.  The only thing he provokes in her now is disgust, she replies and races off.

⦁ Andrea, meanwhile, gets a boatload of crazy speech and tears from her Tia Constanza.  The woman is depressed and babbling at her in her room at the boarding house that they had an agreement.  Couldn't she still be at least a godparent?  She'll give her back all the goodies from before, even.  Andi says no.  She's acting creepy and frightening her.  If Andi was ready to give up the baby before or get an abortion it was because of what she and los Hadad made her believe.  Conz says she'll accept her part in that but not whatever Hadad did.  She screams for forgiveness....Andi gives in somewhat to Conz to allow her to spoil the kid, just to get her out of there.

⦁ Back at the beauty shop, Chole and Kimberly discuss Chole's upcoming OB-Gyn appointment.  

⦁ Nata arrives back at Chente's only to find that Samia is waiting in the living room there to plan the wedding of the year with Nata, something worthy of los Hadad.  And, first, they must find a dress that hides Andi's big belly.  It would be in very bad taste otherwise. 

⦁ Conz runs into Chole downstairs and fails at being polite.  "--I'm seeing my niece.  I should thank you for taking a load off my shoulders (aka Gustavo).  But when Chole drops the adoption fliers, Connie's attitude turns nasty.  "--You're thinking of adoption?" Why yes, they plan to start a family.  Connie wipes a tear from her eye and says perhaps they eventually can stop treating each other as the enemy and then leaves. 

⦁ Chente returns to his parts shop and informs Omar that Mario and Adrian have started a new parts distributorship with giveaway pricing.  Omi reminds him he mentioned not raising prices.  Chente has his back up and says he will weather the storm, no matter what.    He refuses to allow Adrian and Mario to snatch away what it took a lifetime to build.  (Good luck with that, guy.)

⦁ Meanwhile, across the street, Olga stops in front of Tavo's garage and plans more mischief.  Seems La Vulga has her own method of keeping Simba in line.  She makes certain that Chente is there and present as she taunts Simba.  He of course immediately wants his next payoff.  She grabs his arm and forces it down in back of her, then screams for Chente to stop Simba.  Chente comes running to her aid.  Simba was coming on to her and scaring the heck out of her; she whines.  All she wants is to have her life back, without fear of that night again.  Chente warns Simba off.  He has a chance to tell them all the truth about her lying, but he doesn't.  He acts innocent of all her complaints but agrees not to come near L Vulga again....Chente, falls for it all and Viewerville makes another communal trip to the china bowl.

⦁ Samia runs the show, as usual, and tramples all over the surprised Nata.  But of course, Nata should make up the menu, chef that she is.  And, BTW, Adrian is covering all the expenses, so not to worry.  Of course, whatever Chuchu and Andi want is fine.  They will just improve on it with wads of cash.

⦁ At Conz's casota, Claudio has arrived with suitcase in hand.  His place is with Teresa and since she's staying there with Connie, he will join her.  Tere is speechless.  

⦁ Back in the barrio,  Chente brings Vulga home.  He suggests it's time for her to see a specialist and, yes, to look for another place to live.  She's got to learn to be on her own again.  Where would she go?  She has no job since Chole chucked her out.  (Good point.)  Suddenly Vulga says she knows that the fonda still needs a waitress.  She can work for him!!  (Don't think that's what he had in mind.  However, she whines and wheedles till he says ok, but only as a tryout. 

⦁ That night, Simba gets an unexpected visitor.  Adi rushes into Simba's room and points a gun at his face.  Simba's piece of pizza sags towards the floor.  (Viewerville takes bets on whether it will drop and slop all over the floor before the scene ends.)  Adi warns Simba never to try blackmailing Olga again.  Simba agrees, wholeheartedly!  

⦁ Chente informs Nata that he's hired Vulga to be their new waitress.  Nata doesn't like the idea The girl won't accept directions, especially from Nata.  She is certain that something bad is bound to happen because of it.  And this news is just the cherry on top of a horrid day.  They both have had a hell of a day today.  Chente discusses his news about Mario and Adi's competition, and Nata tells hers about Adrian's tearing up the divorce papers.  The two of them pledge their love for each other.  Nobody can force them apart or bankrupt them:  their wealth is the love they have for each other.   

⦁ Once Simba agrees to leave Vulga alone, Adi says he wants Simba to work for him and he'll give him a great salary.  Doing what?  Well, he wants this barrio to become the most dangerous in the city.  To begin with, he will rob Chente's auto parts store!  All right by Simba!

⦁ Fernanda gets the truth out of Mario while they set the dinner table for Juanga and Valentina's arrival. He's joined up with Elias and Adrian for the sake of revenge.  Adrian should never have gotten out of jail, and Elias' kicking Nata and her family out of their home was dastardly.  They both need to suffer the consequences of their actions!  Yes, he knows that right now people will think the worst of him.  He won't tell Nata or anyone else about this plan of his.  Fer kisses him for being such a decent kind o' guy.

⦁ And, before bed, Nata discusses with Chente her disappointment with Mario.  It's as if he never learned his lesson not to do business with Adrian.  She feels like talking to Adi about this move.  Chente warns her not to do that since that's exactly what Adrian's hoping she will do.  Then he'll have power over her once again.  

⦁ Juang and Tina arrive for dinner at Fernanda's.  They are 180-degrees opposites of sophisticated dinner guests.  But Mario sees nothing but green all evening...Mario has to grin and bear all. And, Fer is very aware of this and later accuses him of being jealous of Tina.  FF>>FF>>.

⦁ Andrea tells Omi about Tia Connie's strange visit and actions.  She doesn't like the idea of her getting anywhere near the kid.  

⦁ Chole hides her pregnancy again from Tavo. (Wait!  Are those real oxfords he's got on with his p.j.'s or just slippers?  Inquiring minds really want to know!)  Adoption is still the keyword in their family discussions; she mentions running into Connie and how sorrowful it is to see that she never had children.  Bad mojo here.

⦁ Andi suggests to Omi that she can earn some extra cash by helping run the cash register (I guess) for her mom in the fonda.  (But can she count money?  Who knows.)

⦁ Regi and Jose Jose exchange their first kiss to symbolize their falling in luhhhhhv with each other.  FF>>FF>>

⦁ La Vulga arrives late at Adrian's for a little something between the sheets.  But first, Adi must explain that he has a plan to rob Chente and convince Nata and his daughters that the barrio is to scary a place to continue living.  Well, as long as nothing actually happens physically to Chente, she's down with that...and down with Adrian...kafloom!

⦁ Mario accuses Fer of being jealous of him.  She refuses to kiss Mario good night.FF>>FF>>

⦁ The next morning Regi and J2p2 begin their first day at the new prep school.  At the same time, work begins in Chente's kitchen for the opening of business that day.  But, where is Olga?  She needs to understand that when the workday begins she must be there, and no excuses!  Chente goes upstairs and confirms what Magos reports:  Vulga never returned home, and her still untouched bed is proof of that.  

⦁ Yup, Vulga, and Adi are sleeping in.  FF>>FF>>

⦁ Regina introduces her new friend, Lorenzo, to J2P2. (Ok.  The actor is cute, but the Little Lord Fauntleroy look is really overdoing it here.) He is upset not only at Lorenzo's insulting attitude but the fact that Regi didn't introduce him to Hair Boy as her boyfriend.  Regi gets snitty about it.

⦁ While they wait on Vulga to show up, Juanga apologizes to Nata for his rotten attitude towards her in the beginning, and he thanks her for allowing him to cook in the restaurant.  She tells him he was made to cook.  Chente leaves to check on the shop.  FF>>FF>> 

⦁ Meantime, Andi stops in at Papi Adi's manse for something.  She calls for him numerous times.  However, the door to his bedroom is closed and he and La Vulga have begun to warm up those sheets again.  Andi goes up the stairs to look for him and hears the female voice of the "guest" he is entertaining... Could it possibly be Mama?  No...then who?  She opens the (once again unlocked) door to his bedroom (without invitation/permission) and is horrified by what she sees.  (We are horrified by what she apparently doesn't see.)  "--Papa!!)
