Caray, Caray!

Hey, JudyB, it is a hot one on  the patio tonight.  We have Italian ice in the traditional: lemon, strawberry or chocolate to help us keep our cool! 

1. At Connie's,  Claudio begs Tere to take him back. He threatens suicide as he does repeatedly in this episode. Tere throws him out. He sits on the steps of the mansion as Tere cries inside. 

2. Connie goes to see Vero feeling she had not other choice after the threats Vero made to her. What dos Vero want? Ver smiles.

3. Chente is still begging for Natalia to continue their relationship. She is begging him, in spite of their love for each other, to end it all. 

4. Vero asks why Connie didn't greet her at the quinceañera. Connie answers that she doesn't like to be associated with social climbers.  Vero wonders if the real reason is that she is afraid that Natalia might  discover that Connie always knew about what was going on with Vero and Adrián. Connie says she knew "something" about it. Vero pins her down saying she knew all about it but wouldn't get involved to warn her sister. Connie has to admit the day that Natalia found out about Vero and Adrián  was one of the happiest days of her life. What Connie didn't expect was that Adrián would get bored with Vero so quickly. Vero insists that Adrián is still hers. Connie wonders about that knowing that Adrián begged Natalia on his knees for another chance. Vero is sure he isn't after Natalia for love. He is hiding some dark secret from her and she is going to find out what it is.

5. At the boarding house, Tere tells Natalia and Chole that she and Claudio are done and the she threw him out of her life. 

6. Claudio is banging on the door for Delia to let him back into Connie's house. She explains that she can't do that but gives him a bottle of whiskey to keep him company as he waits for Connie to return. 

7. Fernanda gives Chente an appointment card for a doctor who will see him and Olga and answer any questions he might have.

8. Tere tells Natalia and Chole that in spite of being very sad, she feels liberated as if the weight of the world has been removed from her shoulders. Natalia admits that for years she has  thought that she would be better off without him. She has left Connie's and come to live  with Natalia and her friends like Chole. Natalia tells her mother that Olga is expecting Chente's baby. 

9. Chente goes to see Olga to tell her they have a doctor's appointment. He wants to make sure that she and baby are find and he has some questions he needs answered.  Olga isn't happy about it. 

10. Vero explains that she cannot allow Adrián to go back to Natalia. She didn't take her life apart to end up without Adrián and without her money. She lost her money by trusting people she shouldn't have. She admits that she defrauded Adrián first and then he pulled a fast one on her leaving her with nothing. Connie cannot believe how stupid Vero is. The maid comes telling Vero that somebody is there to see her and will not live until he talks to her.  Vero excuses herself.

11. Elías has come by and wants to know who Vero is with. Vero isn't saying. A nosy Connie comes to see who Vero is with and catches them kissing. She wonders what Samia will say when she finds out about him cheating on her. 

12. Natalia is talking to Fernanda, Tere and Chole about her relationship with Chente. She doesn't feel angry but is disappointed by the situation. She had pictured herself settled in her home with Chente, Ben and her girls. Fernanda explains that Chente is destroyed and has told her that he has tried a thousand different ways to have Natalia forgive him. Tere says it is has nothing to do with forgiveness but with the life a a baby who will be coming into this world very soon. Natalia nods in agreement. Natalie thinks it is best she stays away from  them and doesn't interfere. Fernanda asks if she would do that knowing that Chente absolutely doesn't want a family with Olga??? Natalia seems resigned saying that Olga managed to get her way in spite of all of the love she and Chente have for each other.  She might even end up getting the family she wants. 

13. Connie says she can be very discrete when it suits  her. She wants to know why Adrián came back playing the repentant husband. Elías says it was because Adrián loved Natalia and wanted his family back. Connie doesn't believe it.  He thinks back to the  discussion he had with Adrián about  an investment fund that Natalia was left as part of her inheritance by her father and  knows nothing about.  Elías tells the women that he doesn't know anything about Adrián's real motives but he could find out. Thinking she has  made a real deal, Connie agrees to keep quiet if he lets them know what he finds out about Adrián.. 

14. Fernanda asks Natalia why she insists on giving up on her relationship with Chente. It seems that Natalia's  own relationship with an absent father has colored her thinking and she doesn't want that to happen to another child. Fernanda cannot change her mind. 

15. In Chente's mind, the doctor casts doubt on the paternity of Olga's baby by saying she is two to THREE weeks pregnant. The doctor tells them they will not be able to determine the paternity of the baby until after it is born. 

16. Julián comes to see Natalia. She is still out. Tere asks him if he would like to wait. Yes, he would! He notices that she reads cards. He is interested. She offers to give him reading. He is ready with his question: Is she single?? 

17. Connie comes home to a drunk Claudio on her steps begging him for help. Connie is done with him, too. He says they had a deal and he can go and tell them all about Connie wanting Andrea's baby. Connie could not care less. Who would believe him??? 

18. Chente tells Olga he will try to get excited about having another child. He will be the best father ever but not her husband. Olga puts on her pathetic act and starts to beg him to marry her. 

19. Olga goes inside the house and into the kitchen where  JuanGa and Natalia are cooking. She gloats about the baby and Chente and then tastes some soup with a spoon that she puts back in the pot. EWWWW!   (Someone call the Mexico City Health Department and shut the "commercial" in home kitchen down because a varmint was slurping soup from a pot!  Sorry, but that was truly disgusting) The soup is so good she wants another taste. Natalia tells JuanGa to give  her a bowl full. 

20. Chente tells JuanGa that he is upset about Olga and the baby. Every day it is harder to put up with Olga than the day before.  He still doesn't understand how it happened. It is going to be a living hell.  JuanGa says at  least Ben will have someone to play soccer with. Chente knows that the baby should not pay for his mistake. JuanGa tells him not to let Natalia go because a father's love is different from a man's love for his mate. They agree that Chente feels nothing for Olga. Natalia leaves to go see Julián at the boarding house and Chente follows her out. 

21. Chente explains to Natalie he is willing to support and love the baby that is on its way but it is a whole other matter to love Olga even though that is what she wants. He will never give her that. Natalie says that  is between him and Olga. Chente doesn't understand why they have to end their relationship. They both accept  each other's children. She says he knows she adores Ben. He insists that in spite of Olga's baby they have a right to be happy. He reassures her that he will take responsibility for the baby. He is a man that comes from a town with deep rooted traditions.  When a man gets a woman pregnant, it is his duty to take care of  and protect her. He doesn't want to betray the principles he was brought up on by his parents and granny Magos. He has to lead by example. He is dying inside because his duty is forcing him  to renounce her love. 

22. It turns out that Julián has been a widower for five years. He did all he could to keep his wife alive but her disease had advanced very far. After his wife died, it was hard but he decided he needed to live the rest of his life. What else can you do? Teresa agrees. She never thought she would end up feeling dead in her own life either. She explains she  is not a widow but decided to separate from her husband  a full five hours ago. She explains it was time and she is at peace. He smiles.

23. Chente says if he is condemned to not being  happy at her side, his love will always belong to her. Natalia makes it clear that he knows that her love belongs to him. He was that one who brought her back to life but from today on, she will be loving him in silence. They kiss but it doesn't last long. 

24. Olga comes out calling Natalia an old slut. The least she could do is show some respect  since she is expecting Chente's baby.  Chente and Natalia turn and stare at her. 

25. Claudio arrives at Tavo's shop telling his tale of woe.  Tavo doesn't have much sympathy for him but allows him to sleep on the couch in his office. 

26. Chente tries to  shut Olga up but she accuses Natalia of trying to take her Chente away from her and her baby and wants the whole neighborhood to know about it.  Natalia visibly bites her tongue and tells Chente to get his life under control and not to complicate hers any more. She hopes he lives up to his word. She walks away. 

27. Tere finds it odd that Natalia has not arrived yet and offers to go find her. Julián assures her there is no problem saying that he is in no hurry and her company is more than pleasing. They were talking about his children. He says after his wife died, his kids came around for a couple of months but then everyone went back to living their own lives which is natural. He only could go back to work. Tere finds that sad. He disagrees saying that is how life is. Natalia arrives. Julián makes it clear he would like to continue chatting with her. Tere agrees to some other time. After she leaves, Julián tells Natalia that now he knows where she got her extraordinary beauty from: her mother. 

28. Later, Natalia tells her mother about what an impression she made on Julián. Tere says she isn't about to start thinking about romance. Natalia makes it clear that she was only saying that she has  the right to happiness. Tere thinks Natalia has that right, too. Tere tells her that she shouldn't let the situation with Olga separate her from the man she loves. Again, Natalia is unable to separate her own past from the situation.  She refuses to sow her happiness in the unhappiness of a little angel who is yet be born. 

29. Inside the house, Chente explains that he was kissing Natalia because he loves her more than his own self.  He tells Olga he will love the baby but he will never love her. His baby will not want for anything. Olga says nothing but a family, a home, two parents that love each other.. .  Chente tells her not to say that They simply are not a couple. That is not the answer Olga was looking for and decides that she will get  an abortion tomorrow to solve it all so he will have nothing tying him to her. 

30. Elías tells Adrián that Connie and Vero think that something is up. Elías is not about to say a word since he is in for a good percentage if Adrián  can get his  hands on Natalia's inheritance. Elías thinks Vero being in Mexico could complicate things and offers to take her off of Adrián's hands. A woman like her needs lots of attention. Adrián tells him not to mess with his woman. Elías thought that Natalia was his woman.  Adrián answers she is. Elías tells him to make up his mind because he cannot have them all. 

31. Samia is meeting with Omar and Andrea. She has planned a wedding at the cathedral with 600 guests. Andrea tells her that they want something simple at the neighborhood church. Samia tells them they are killing her!!

32. Lorenzo has come by pick up Regina. Magically his eye looks fine and there is no patch on it. 2XJosé sees him first and and tells him that the next time he sees him in his neighborhood he will be paying him all he owes him. Lorenzo says he has ZERO fear. 2X  adds that if he comes looking for him, he will be seeing a crowbar, too.  

33. Regina arrives on the scene and she wants to know if 2X was bothering him. Lorenzo says he isn't worth talking about. They are going to the movies. 

34. Chente brings some tea to Olga in her room to talk some more. She refuses it. Chente says he never thought about her losing the baby ever.  A whiney Olga thinks it would be the best for him he doesn't want anything to do with her. She asks how he feels with his rejection her. He tells her  that she can't make him feel something for her. She asks him who is going to be responsible for everything she has been through because of him. He says that forcing him to feel something he doesn't won't do it. She thinks it is sad that he won't even give it a try but that is okay . . . She still thinks it is the best that the baby die. Chente disagrees saying the baby is not at fault for what has happened between them.  He doesn't want to lose him. Olga is tired of his snubbing her. She is sure that all of the anger that he has for her is felt by the baby. Chente apologizes and says he will be more understanding and less tough with her. Olga says she is not asking him to fall in love with her. She only wants him to care for her a bit as  the mother of his child. Chente nods and he hugs her.(Yuk!)

35. Lorenzo kisses Regina on the way to the movies. She pulls aways and he says he just couldn't help himself!  He admits he really likes her and she likes him too but wants to be friends first. He SAYS he agrees. 

36. GrannyMagos and Ben arrive at the boarding  house. 2XJosé is there to greet them. Ben  goes to see his Mamá Natalia. Granny Magos explains what a long day she had. She picked up Ben from school, they went to eat, next the park, then out for some ice cream and now here. She explains that she did all of that so Ben wouldn't go home and find Olga living there one more time. She is tired out and  ready to sit down for a while. 2XJosé goes to get her some  water. 

37. Ben and  Natalia have a joyful encounter.  He wants to know when she is coming back to live  with them. He wants her and his father to get married so he can have a little brother. 

38. Olga meets with Adrián.  She tells him she is pregnant. She has fulfilled her part of the agreement by tying up Chente through her schemes but he hasn't fulfilled his. He was supposed to get Natalia out of the  picture but she is still there. She needs him to get Chente to hate Natalia. If he doesn't, she will tell everyone that the baby is his. He asks if her baby is his.  Olga answers that YES, the baby is his.
