Caray, Caray!

"It was him or you"

Ginebra reminds Mauro that the first time she killed -- presumably the owner of the hairy legs -- it was to save him. That, she declares, was when she lost the last shred of her humanity. (And no one has seen it since...or perhaps ever.) Flashback to teenage Gin wielding a bloody candlestick and saying they have to hide the body, with tween Mauro an unraveling basket case as usual. Thoroughly modern Mauro apologizes profusely and promises he'll never betray her. This is not going the way I want it to go at all.

"I won't be your clown"

Los Figueroa are playing a truly idiotic-looking game of squirt-gun commando freeze tag at Kenzo's bachelor pad. Sandro places the tacks on the lower stair, where a barefoot (why???) Kenzo steps on them and sustains two nasty punctures to the foot. Sandro can't get over how funny this is going to be when he uploads it, and wonder of wonders, Jeronimo tells him it's not funny and he isn't going to be uploading anything. Sandro doubles down and says he'll even add comical music. This kid is a little psychopath. Why can't somebody steal him?

Kenzo, wincing with pain,  gives a quasi-dignified speech about how they clearly don't love him the way he loves them, but they have to respect him. It's undercut a little by the GI Joe outfit and the fact that he has no way to back it up, but hey, noble effort.

"Our friendship was a lie"

Up on the Roble roof, Esteban reams Gala out about hiding her food issues and Jeronimo's mistreatment while Paz mopes around looking guilty. Gala claps back about all the pressure she's under, having to raise her two brothers and get perfect grades and smile all the time. Esteban, apparently all out of disculpas, just goes on and on about what a great father he's always been and how he's going to go fix Jero's wagon, too. Gala tells Paz she's a big gossip and they're no longer friends. Can you blame her?

"My friend is alive!"

Just as the birthday cake is served, Fermin arrives with his very special party guest. The reunion of Luna and Monito is everything we hoped for and more. "Te quiero!" "Te quiero mas!" They sing the mananitas and Paz tells Luna to make a wish from her heart. She says, "I want to know who I am and that my mother loves me." Paz goes quietly to pieces.

Everyone sits down to eat, then by popular vote Monito is sent off to take a bath. He orders Cobija to bite anyone who tries to eat any more cake while he's gone. 

Paz calls an urgent family meeting and announces that she has made a decision: she will return Luna to her mother. No one but Lupe accepts this decision as final, and a cacophonous argument ensues. (Even Fermin and Nandy are in the middle of it, so I guess nobody thought they should make sure Monito doesn't drown, even though there's a distinct possibility he's never seen a bathtub before.) Fermin gets a call from Mauro and looks even more haggard than usual.

"Paz is the mastermind"

Gin and Mauro, their bond restored, cackle about how wonderful it would be to catch Paz in the act of hiding Sam -- then they could blame her for everything! Gin asks Mauro if he knows anyone else in that family, and he confesses he has had some, uh, interactions with Mireya. Gin orders him to seduce her and get her on his side so they can use her, too. This is getting more convoluted all the time.

"Your son will hear me!"

Esteban rages over to Kenzo's house and starts yelling for Jero to come down and face him. It takes Kenzo a while to get across to him that the kids aren't even there; he sent them home in a taxi hours ago. Esteban tells him he's a bad dad; Kenzo says he's overreacting. Filipa materializes in a puff of smoke and now they're all arguing. It sounds like Esteban demands that Jero report to his office first thing in the morning. Does he realize not everyone works for him?

After he leaves, Filipa insists on giving Kenzo a foot massage. This seems as if it would be painful, but then everything Filipa does is pretty painful. Oh, wait! It was foreplay! She climbs onto Kenzo's lap and starts macking all over him, but he gently pushes her away. He tells her all they have in common is their sons, and if she really cared about him, she'd help him repair his relationship with them. She says she will be delighted...to watch them reject him the way he just rejected her, and off she goes in a huff. 

"I can be your daughter...for a little while"

Fermin takes Luna up on the roof to blow bubbles. She asks why the bubbles burst so fast, and he says nothing beautiful lasts. She starts asking him questions about his daughter and he gets more and more maudlin, finally saying he wishes he could hold her just once and ask for her forgiveness. 

Luna says she can pretend to be his daughter if he wants, and as they hug, she says, "I forgive you, papa." Fermin appears to be having a complete nervous breakdown at this point, but since Luna has never known anyone normal, she takes it in stride.

Short takes:

* Gin invites Dr. Monica over for coffee, doses it with truth serum, and shows her a picture of Sam. “Is this the girl who disappeared from the hospital?”

* Mauro orders Fermin to destroy Paz's entire family, although he doesn't specify how. I guess we have that to look forward to.

* Elvira tells her grandchildren that she has decided to remove the doors from their rooms. They are predictably aghast. Is this a drama or a French farce?
