Caray, Caray!

Gabe is about to cross the street. El Mastin is waiting, it seems, to run him down in a hotrod blue Mustang. Nic and Dolores are walking toward the same intersection from a different direction. Pau is waiting in the car and sees things from a 3rd direction. Gabe begins to cross the street and enters the crosswalk. At the last moment El Mastin peels rubber, but just before El Mastin is able to knock Gabe into the Great Beyond, Jos comes rushng towards him like an NFL line backer and goes in for the tackle (all high-heeled 5'2", 110 pounds of her).

Gabe falls down with Jos on top of him, just out of the way of the car. Jos pretends to be hit. Pau runs up to them and starts screaming like a rock groupie to Gabe that Joselyn offered her life to save his. Gabe gets up and then helps Jos up. He is stunned and in complete shock!! Why, she has saved his life!!! "Why did you do it?" She blushes and says with a girlish grin, " I didn't think. It was impulse. I--I did it because I love you."

Nic and Dolores see the whole thing from a different angle. When they approach they tell Jos to stop faking it because they saw the whole thing and know the car didn't touch her. “Gabe, she's pretending to be hurt but the car never even touched her!” Pau is screaming back at Nic and Dolores that she saw it all and Jos did too save her daddy's life! Jos hams it up and screams back at Nic and Dolores in between her crocodile tears, "How dare you? How dare you!” Sniff, sniff. “Oh, Gabriel! I just can't take it anymore.......I should go."

Gabe continues to look from Jos to the three of them. It's obvious he is again completely bewildered by the whole thing. (This guy is a captain of industry?) He thanks her and gallantly offers to take her to the hospital to have the doctor look her over, but she says she'll go herself. So, grateful, gullible Gabe takes the word of his scheming, suicidal and certifiable, devious ex over either that of his trustworthy lawyer bud or the wrongly accused, legally exonerated, Dolores. (We wouldn't have expected any less -nor any more- of Gabe, now would we?)

Gabe ends this. "We'll talk later more calmly. Now I have to take Paulina and meet Regina at the hospital." He leaves.

Once they all have arrived at the hospital, Leo waits with Reggie, Gabe and Pau for the specialist to inform them about the results of the studies. They will find out who will be the best possible donor of bone marrow for JC's transplant operation. Pau takes a minute to ask Gabe if he is sure he is all right. He says of course since it was Joselyn who took the hit from the car. Reggie gets a puzzling look on her face as she listens to them.

Back at Demian's place, Dem is agitated and griping to himself that he probably wrecked the construction merger and his chance to run the whole shebang, along with the love of his wife, for agreeing to play along with Jos by pretending to be a cheating, scheming version of his twin. "I didn't think of the consequences. I was an idiot! Damn it all! All of this was her fault!" (Uh-huh. The devil made him do it.......)

The specialist returns and advises the group that Reggie is the only one who can donate the bone marrow to JC in order to save his life. Leo doesn't think there will be much trouble from her earlier heart problems. Reggie again demands they keep her name out of it for fear JC willl refuse the transplant if he finds out what she's planning. Leo assures them all that "Discrete" is his middle name and his lips are sealed.

In another part of town while having coffee that evening, Dolores tells Nic that Gabe can say whatever he wants, but that car incident was a total set-up. Nic agrees and wonders along with her just what Jos has in mind. Dolores also mentions to Nic that earlier Gabe had told her how Mariangela had left in a hurry and hadn't bothered to tell him she was going. In fact, she'd left him a puzzling letter telling him how disappointed she was in him and that she would talk to him about it after she returned but didn't bother to explain further. Dolores said she read it but couldn't understand what was behind it either. She tells Nic that she feels like Jos may have had something to do with it.

Gabe comes by the manse after leaving the hospital to check on Jos. She's upstairs in something that looks like a skier's long-johns, reading a magazine in bed. Not a hair is out of place and the day's make-up is still perfect. She hides the magazine under the pillow when she hears him approach. "How are your feeling?" "Oh, fine," she manages to squeek out. -"What did the doctor say?" (Jos didn't see any doctor, of course.) "Oh, just to get some rest." (Weak, kindly smile here.) Just then Miriam rushes in, hears what happened from Gabe and exclaims, "Daughter!”

Miriam turns to Gabe. “Well, Joselyn may have all the defects you want, but you cannot deny she still loves you!" Gabe tells Jos he doesn't understand her, and never will. He says he simply came to make sure she was fine and to thank her. He excuses himself and leaves. Miriam waits till he's gone and says, okay, now tell her the real dirt. Jos gives her the juicy details and says she's not certain she's won his trust back, but she's smoothed things over now. She smiles to herself.

Miriam asks Jos what would she have felt if he'd really been turned into road-kill. Jos answers in her sociopathic way that it would have wrecked her plans, but then Mariangela would have lost Gabe forever also. So then Miriam offers her some árnica (leopard's bane) tea. They giggle at that. (Hmm. Note: The tincture from the leaves is used for sprains and bruises. In the RAE under árnica is a reference to “asking for compassion” when somebody feels inferior either because of actions or ideas. Ok. Now I get it.......)

Rogelio ponders what he learned from Coyote: Miriam and Jos were the ones who got Rog falsely accused of drug possession and put into jail. Miriam and Jos also put the poisoned snake in Reggie's van. He thinks to himself about how he'll find more money so El Coyote will let go of more details about the rest of those dastardly dame's deadly dangerous deeds......

Pau fixes JC his favorite meal for supper and he continues to stare at her with love in his red-rimmed eyes while she serves him dinner and mothers him.

Leo and the specialist agree there is no reason to keep JC waiting for his transplant. They agree to keep “the donor” anonymous. The specialist then asks Leo to assist him during the operation as he admires Leo tremendously. (You knew this was coming, didn't you?)

Reggie tells Dolores later that evening at home about now being cleared to give bone marrow to her son in order to save his life. Dolores worries about her heart, but Regina fudges a bit about that possibility and says now her son will be able to realize his life's dreams. Demian walks in on the two of them and asks his wife where she's been until now.

Regina tells Demian she's been to see the doctor and he worries about her health. She assures him she's fine, but he insists that he would go crazy if anything happened to her. He says he wishes he could turn back time and make up for all the nastiness of the past. Reggie assures him that she's forgotten all of it and loves him whole-heartedly. They hug and she thinks to herself, "If he only knew what I am planning to do......."

The next morning, Paulina fixes JC his favorite breakfast. They kiss and hug again.

Gabe comes back in to the Manse with Luis Gabriel as Jos immediately gets into character and limps a bit coming down the stairs. He asks her why she doesn't just stay up there and rest. She feins a need to take care of her son as "he comes before all else." (Even Mother Theresa can't compare with this Joselyn.) Mayeya rolls her eyes as she listens to the line the Señora Cervantes Bravo is feeding her ex and thinks to herself, "If he only knew it's an absolute lie! When he's not around she totally ignores the little boy!"

Tiberio can't find his briefcase again and Dolores hands it to him. She wishes him a happy birthday. He's surprised and says "Thanks. Only you remembered it." She explains how every year in jail she celebrated the day and prayed he would have the best. He says he's uncomfortable hearing all this. She tells him it's about time he gets used to accepting a mother's love. He tries to hug her but gives up and leaves feeling and acting as awkward as any teenager (blech).

Leo comes by especially to tell JC that they have an anonymous donor for him now. Leo says his operaation can take place in a few days and then JC will finally be certain to get to know his son. JC is elated. He asks God to bless the donor.

Demian really got out of the bed on the wrong side this morning and Tiberio is acting like an awkward, fumbling teen around him, too. Demian yells and screams at Ti at the top of his lungs about everything and anything. He is especially mean when Ti mentions to him it's his birthday. Demian kicks him out of his office and screams at him to let him work in peace. "What does he want? A cake and a piñata?" (I guess Miriam's little scolding the day before really got to him.)

Gabe and Regina chat about the upcoming transplant and then about Mariangela's continuing silence. He mentions that Dolores thinks Jos has done something to cause it, but adds he doubts that now after her saving his life the other night. Regina has no other advice but for him to fight for Mariangela's love. He'd like to but asks her what is he supposed to do if she won't talk to him?

JC and Regina wish Ti a happy birthday. Ti has a sad and sudden realization that his daddy really doesn't care a whit for him. Only JC and his mother remembered and bothered to congratulate him.

Back in Demian's office he and Jos are snipping at each other about her idiotic tricks. She tells him he can say what he likes, but they've been working. He laughs and says he can't understand why. Then he shows her Mariangela's picture on the front of a prestigious women-in-industry magazine. He tells her that if she really wants Gabe to respect her as a capable business woman she will have to conduct herself on that level. She says she can and he asks how. She smiles and says "You'll find out!"

JC tells Karen about the anonymous donor. He says he won't tell anybody about his problem until he's tried this last treatment. Later Paulina fakes anger over Karen and stomps out of JC's office. Ti (another master of the obvious) reminds JC that those two can't stand one another.

Jos goes in to see Gabe and tells him he'll be happy to know she's won a valuable contract for the construction company. He looks at it, seemingly impressed, and asks how she was able to get it. Just then Regina interrupts and says they're going to be late for the ribbon-cutting ceremonies for the public housing project, Casa Sara. He tells Jos he'll continue with her later about the contract's conditions and leaves with Reggie, Pau and her.

At the same time Demian is going nuts trying to find a contract he thinks he has misplaced. It seems this is the very same one that Jos has told Gabe is hers. (Yep. She stole it out of Demian's office while he wasn't looking.) Jos smiles to herself saying that by the time Demian finds out it will be too late. She then calls the client and tells them that she is now their contact at the construction company and will handle his account and the contract from here on, per Demian's instructions.

We go back to Miriam's design studio. Miriam has gotten the exclusive contract to use European fabrics as an exclusive in her designs. She has Ingrid rush to call all Otilia's clients to grab her business from them. She says by the time Otilia finally has found a willing distrubutor she'll be too far behind to get new clients and catch up to her.

Otilia has had Diana and Soraya invite over the best designer in all of Mexico. They explain how Miriam has played this last dirty trick on them. He agrees that colleagues must remain ethical in their dealings with each other. They tell him Otilia's idea about using Mexican products and artistry for their design collection instead of copying Miriam's pro-European product line and designs. He agrees and begins advising them.

At Candy and Leo's house, Mayeya's parents listen to Cortito stumbling through stage fright to finally ask for their daughter's hand in marriage. Tee-hee, tee-hee. Budda-boom. Budda-boom.(Reynaldo Rossaro does have great timing, but even he cannot help the plotline, the script, or the actress he's had to play opposite.) FF > >

Rog visits El Coyote, who is looking and acting more like a Charles Manson wanna-be every trip back. He tells Rog that for such a miserly little sum he will only give him a tiny bit of information. Rog gets upset because he thought it was actually quite a bundle. (I'm wondering who Rog swindled this time to get it.)

Crazed Coyote gives a maniacal, Manson-like laugh and hints that Rog should look into who had his dead mistress killed, the one he used to share, because he'll be in for a great big surprise! Rog (no doubt blinking at the bad breath escaping through those little audio holes in the bulle-proof glass, and figuring with all the cash Coyote's squeezed out of him he could at least have bought a case or two of Altoids) starts to consider El Coyote's riddle.

Paulina invites Karen to have lunch with her and Gabe. They sneak out of the office at different times because it is important that JC still think she's jealous, so he doesn't realize they're both aware of his illness and have become friends.

Gabe is surprised to see his daughter arrive with Karen at the restaurant. Paulina and Karen explain how Karen has had a change of heart and is trying to succeed in turning her life around. Pau tells her father how Karen had given emotional support to Juan Cristobal before anyone else was aware he was sick. Gabe is glad to hear it and offers her all the support she might need.

Later, back at the apartment, Paulina gets worried about JC's sudden weakness and coughing. She forgets herself and gets carried away while pressuring him to see Leo for a check-up. He refuses and she warns him that they cannot continue living like this. He says that's why he asked her to go away before. She gets angry and accidentally slips up when screaming back at him about expecting her to just leave so that he's all alone when he gets another attack. He realizes Paulina now knows the truth and she has to admit it. She runs to him and hugs him. He is visibly upset, though, and his eyes are darting everywhere. --Roll Credits.

[Jaime Camil] i never swam against the current
[Jaime Camil] I prepared myself and let myself go

[jaimeteamo9]hello jaime my name is leslie and I want to ask you what is your goal???

[Jaime Camil]lots, not one in particular, because if I had only one and accomplished it perhaps then I wouldn't have anything to fight for
[Jaime Camil] therefore i always to try to set constant goals and continue fighting and growing for the things I want

[VERO] DO YOU HAVE ANY PLATONIC LOVE?

[Jaime Camil] well no I don't have one, no

[gulemba] would you like to do american movies?

[Jaime Camil] and I will do it

I think the video/chat may have gotten disconnected at this point, the site got overloaded as you read earlier and esmas.com lost contact with Jaime Camil. Oh well..I hope you enjoyed reading.... he's so cute ...

Hello Bloggers at Caray, Caray, my name is Marycelis Pacheco and am a semi-regular commentator who loves and applauds your website. I am very glad I found it and please don't stop the recaps. Anyway, I happened across an esmas chat with Jaime Camil. I thought it was the one where he was chatting as Don Fernando but after reading and translating it I realize I was mistaken. Sorry guys. I did find the Don Fern video chat and am working on translating the transcript of that chat as you are reading this. Anything with a spoiler I will delete to honor the rules of Caray, Caray. It is a very short transcript because the site got overloaded and crashed. Anyway enjoy reading the following translation. I apologize if they are any spelling errors, I am working on my laptop using Wordpad that has no spell check because my MS Word is not functioning and my main tower is un-operational. Please forgive me for any and all spelling errors. As for the grammar errors, well I don't translate grammatically accurate.

As a preface, Jaime was a host/commentator on a reality show program called Operación Triunfo México that is a mix of Big Brother and American Idol. People living in one house/instituto studying and practicing music and are judged by a panel at something called Gala at which point it is decided if they stay on the show or go home. The winner of the show gets to sign a music deal.

--------

[Host]: Welcome to the chat with Jaime Camil.

[Host] Singer of vocation and soul, Jaime is a person with solid presence in the music world due to his great trajectory that includes radio, TV and acting in novelas and two album productions “Para Estar Contigo and Una Vez Maz”

[Host] Even though you would think one was talking about an actor that wanted to be a singer in reality he is the opposite, he is a singer that was given the opportunity to act in the telenovela Mi Destino Eres Tu

[Host] Actually, his efforts are centered in the promotion of his new album (Una Vez Mas) where he worked in the studio with Marco Flores and Kike Santander, whose single Dime, is already playing strong on Mexican radio.

[Host] Born July 22 1973 and a very proud Mexican, since May of this year residing in Miami Florida

[Host] Jaime was invited for the production of Operación Triunfo México to be the weekly host/commentator for the reality show, which he accepted despite the fact that he has to travel constantly from Mexico City to Miami

[Host] Although many of you will find it strange to see him as an MC, the truth is this cute kid started his career as a radio commentator and host of a program for TV Azteca called Que Nochecita!

[Host] A few years ago we saw him in the role of Mauricio, the unrequited love interest of Lucero in Mi Destino Eres Tu.

[Host] He also participated in a special program Diseñador Ambos Sexos where he became the rival of Jean Phillipe Martin (Héctor Suárez Jr.) for the love of Carolina (Luz María Zetina).

[Host] If you want to know more, what are you waiting for, start sending your questions.

[Host] Let the questions begin!

[Host] *

[TanyaLouise] JAIME-I SEND A BIG KISS FOR YOUR BIRTHDAY, I HOPE THAT YOU HAD A GREAT TIME!!

[Jaime_Camil] Before anything, very good afternoon to all the users, thank you very much for being here with me today.

[Jaime_Camil] Tanya, I send you a big kiss from Miami, thank you for supporting me unconditionally like always.

[anali] Do you think you have achieved everything you desired in your life and career?

[Jaime_Camil] Definitely no. There are a few goals I have to accomplish, I am only just beginning.

[22091961] Jaime, this is the first time I enter a chat, I hope you give me luck. A Kiss. –Ale

[Jaime_Camil] Ale there is always a first time

[cristy]How good is your relatiohship with Luis Miguel?

[Jaime_Camil]I don’t talk much about him in the press so as to not be misinterpreted but it’s been two years since I don’t see him.

[PATY]HOW OLD ARE YOU?

[Jaime_Camil] 28 years old

[NANCY]WHAT DON’T YOU LIKE ABOUT WOMEN.

[Jaime_Camil]Nothing, I adore women and I like everything about them, I think they are the most beautiful and perfect creation God has put on the earth

[ARREITARRAMAN]HEY WHAT’S UP WITH ALEJANDRA GUZMAN WHO SNUCK INTO THE LAST PROGRAM.

[Jaime_Camil]I don’t know. Alejandra is Alejandra. And if you invite her to a program you have to be prepared to receive the Alejandra that everyone knows.

[alejandrolcf] How is it living with the young people on operacion triunfo

[Jaime_Camil]Marvelous. It is a noble television project, very pretty and moving. It is a privilege being on a project like this.

[PATTYVERDE]HEY JAIME, ARE YOU PRESENTLY PLANING A TELENOVELA?

[Jaime_Camil]I don’t know, it would have to depend on the producer, the story. Since I am living in US there are more movie offers in LA than telenovelas for the moment.

[Jaime_Camil] That is the stupidest thing I have ever heard and I believe that once the children start going out and get interviewed, they better than anyone will clear up those absoured rumors.

[buho_con_msn] IS IT TRUE THAT YOU HAD A RELATIONSHIP WITH SOFIA VERGARA

[Jaime_Camil]I don’t like talking about my relationships because in the end the press always come to their own conclusions.

[isik]Hello Jaime, say what went through your head when the OT judge started to talk about Alejandra Guzman and she responded with an uncomfortable comment to put it delicately

[Jaime_Camil] You referring to the "mother insult" I am sure …Well nothing happened I just simply tried to go with the program in the best way possible.

[intrusa]what do you plan on doing to raise ratings of OT?

[Jaime_Camil]Nothing OT is the original format of musical reality. It is an approved format that begins working around the fifth or sixth airing and it is very adventorus compared to a TV program that has just started to one that has aired eight weeks and has a captive audience. The press ventures much giving opinions too early,

[LORENA]HELLO, HOW ARE YOU DOING, YOU KNOW I ADMIRE YOU A GREAT DEAL, DESPITE YOUR GREAT CHARISMA YOU SEEM TO BE A CENTERED KID AND YOUR FEET ARE FIRMLY ON THE GROUND

[Jaime_Camil] Thank you very much. I send you a kiss.

[Morenasa] you have a girlfriend?

[Jaime_Camil] No

[edna_vasa] how do you feel being a host/commentator of a program. Kisses, I like you very much.

[Jaime_Camil]Like I said before, it is a wonderful television program and it is a privilege hosting it. Thank you very much, kisses to you too

[Piloto] How much growth is in your new album compared to the last one?

[Jaime_Camil] Piloto!! Shouldn’t you be in the institute? Hahaha

[Jaime_Camil]A lot of growth. I come with a mature voice having done 180 live shows with the last album. The music selection is greater and working with Kike Santander is marvelous.

[tania]How do you feel being the host of Operación Triunfo

[Jaime_Camil]Very good, it is a marvelous program

[barb]When you are you coming to veracrus to promote your album

[Jaime_Camil]Let me ask my promoter

[Jaime_Camil] Probably next week

[Leo]You should have been a comic, you are very funny.

[Jaime_Camil] Thanks Leo. I appreciate it very much.

[balliss]How is your sexual life.

[Jaime_Camil] On fire. Thank God and without complaints.

[patty]Tell me how would you want the woman of your life

[Jaime_Camil]Don’t know..simply that she be a woman, honest, transparent and obviously love grows through sight, whoever says different I think is lying

[dante]HEY JAIME WHAT’S YOUR SHOE SIZE?

[Jaime_Camil] 11 american.

[KEY]What do you think of the possible romances within the institute?

[Jaime_Camil]Marvaelous. I belive Mar and Rodrigo are starting to like each other and perhaps Judith and Paco are following suit.

[isik]Who do you think will be out? ¿Josué o Jesús?

[Jaime_Camil]Uff..Don’t know, tough question. But it looks like the phone calls up until now are supporting Jesús.

[gaby6]Jaime is it true that you are dating the girl that hosted the review?

[Jaime_Camil]No. Neither did I bring her in to work on the show like it’s been said

[nataly] [nat]Jaime, how do you sleep clothed or like adam?

[Jaime_Camil]I don’t know Adam. But I sleep with surgeon style pants and a t-shirt

[shujey] Hello, I am a big fan of yours and I wish you all the luck in the world. Kisses and hellos from Peru

[Jaime_Camil] Olé! Que padre, Hellos to Peru and a big kiss.

[Pochou]The truth is that there is no comparison between el Tacher and you, it falls short my friend..congratulations.

[Jaime_Camil]Thank you very much. How nice your comment because Alan is a great friend and when he came on TV Azteca he told me how I was an influence for him

[lissette002] Hello, you visiting us in argentina, I am one of your fans

[Jaime_Camil]I hope to go to Argentina very soon. Close friends like Cristian Castro have told me that it is a phenomenal public.

[KEY]You think that there is freedom in the institute to say your sexual preferences?

[Jaime_Camil]Of course. If they are not said it’s because the students themselves don’t want to say them. The Institute is not a jail and the students are not conditioned to nothing.

[isik]Do you have a favorite? Or it doesn’t matter who wins? (Although obviously you couldn’t decide who)

[Jaime_Camil] Truthfully, I was judge when there were 170 students, afterwards 71, then 39 and up until the last 24 and the truth is that the 16 that there chosen deserve to win I tell you with you all my heart

[tuzaa]Jaime, you like soccer?

[Jaime_Camil] Very much, I root for the Pumas

[Daniela]Would you have liked to be on Big Brother VIP

[Jaime_Camil]No way

[connie]Jaime I love your smile. You are a great host.

[Jaime_Camil]Thank you Connie, a kiss with all my heart

[CRAZYPOLL]WHAT HAS BEEN THE WORST SITUATION YOU HAVE ENCOUNTERED AND HOW DID YOU DEAL WITH IT?

[Jaime_Camil]Thank God I haven’t had bad situations. I think that everything I have done in my life has been positive in one way or another and I feel very fortunate.

[nelo] When operaciòn triunfo ends will there be another generation of students?

[Jaime_Camil]I hope so. I wish and the following year we have the opportunity to have a second generation.

[orion] what did your body feel when you heard about the news about gaby?
[Jaime_Camil]It was horrible. Truthfully because if you think about it perhaps she feels her career is over but in reality her career is just starting and it was only an obastacle that life gave her, I hope all the students that come out of OT, will see it in the same positive way.

[mayin] Jaime how long where you with thalia?

[Jaime_Camil] As I said before, I don’t talk much about my relationships but we had a very beautiful relationship.

[ALITA]HEY ANSWER THIS, WHY DO YOU MAKE FUN OF THE DECECTS OF THE CONTESTANTS IN THE GALAS?

[Jaime_Camil]I don’t consider Gaby’s hair a defect for example. But if you consider it a defect that’s your perception I simply to try to make it a stressful moment.

[volador]Do you think that the students in the academy are better prepared than those on OT.

[Jaime_Camil]Definitely no.

[Jaime_Camil]I know the supposed director of the academy real well and the supposed professors because I worked with him when I was at EMI music and the truth I feel compassion for those poor kids.

[OfeliaMaria]Why did you accept the proposal of ''''Operacion Triunfo''''???'

[Jaime_Camil]Because I love the project and I followed it a little bit in Spain.

[claudia] hello Jaime how are you? Greetings from Israel I want to know if you plan on coming to Israel?

[Jaime_Camil]Wow! How impressing to get all the way over there. I wish Lord willing

[aleskita]Right now between you and me you are beautiful and I wish you the best of luck in your future projects oh I am Dominican and I want you to know that you are welcome in the DOMINICAN REPUBLIC.

[Jaime_Camil] Thank you very much, I have visited a few times and I have had a good time.

[GEOVANA]why didn’t you continue singing?

[Jaime_Camil] ‘Ah caray! Precisely I am promoting my second album produced by Kike Santander that’s titled Una Vez Mas and therefore I continue singing because it is my life, I have done a lot concerts in the US and thank God, “Dime” topped the Billboard for several weeks.

[dharmma29]hello Jaime I send you lots of greetings from Noruega!

[Jaime_Camil] Ahí si la hacemos! Porque los hombres color frijol como yo, allá causamos conmoción, no?

[Jaime_Camil] There we go! Because men with dark bean color like myself cause commotion over there.

[chaparra] You are hot, greetings all the way from Canada

[Jaime_Camil]Thank you a kiss to the maple leaf.

[connie] What has been the worst sacrifice that you have made in your career?

[Jaime_Camil] Having to withstand the idiot remarks made by the media who say that it’s been easy for me because of the situation with my father or withstanding those people who think I am where I am because my career was bought. I have suffered through much to be where I am and I have accomplished this on my own merits.

[BenitoK]Wouldn’t you like to do a program similar to Que nochesita? Or is that over?

[Jaime_Camil] I would love to and it was a great privilege after many years people remember that program and even an honor that various programs have taken elements from Que Nochecita.

[monica_1]WHAT WERE YOU LIKE AS A KID?

[Jaime_Camil]Very hyper. My mom used to give me Valium to be able to take me in an airplane.

[carol]my boyfriend sends his greetings. He says what do you do to make me like you so much?

[Jaime_Camil] Don’t tell me he knows about us!!! Ha ha ha

[monica_1] THE SONG, “SI NO TE HUBIERAS IDO” IS GREAT FOR YOU.

[Jaime_Camil] thank you

[SPARKDNK]HOW IS IT THAT YOU DECIDED TO SING?

[Jaime_Camil]Mi mom was a singer. She came to Mexico and did concerts with Armando Manzanero. Therefore I inherited, plus even while studying I was always a singer, ever since I was young. But life has given me the opportunity to try the role of host/commentator and I didn’t’ want to pass it up.

[CARICIA] IF YOU COULD REWIND TIME WHAT WOULD YOU CHANGE IN YOUR LIFE?

[Jaime_Camil]Nothing

[fany]Jaime is it true that in the singing career you have to make many sacrifices.

[Jaime_Camil] Very true. You have to make many many sacrifices.

[isik] You are not going to sing in the one of the galas like everyone else?

[Jaime_Camil] It wouldn’t be right because the Galas are the window for them to shine and for them to be evaluated by the jury although they have invited me to sing with them in the Mexican Gala.

[vane]hello Jaimio! I want to tell you that I too am a paisana and I want to tell you that the way you dress fascinates me and your look is incredible.

[Jaime_Camil] Even if I wear boots how much have I been criticized, Hahaha thank you.

[luisaflorean]Jaime tell me does any girl on OT catch your eye?

[Jaime_Camil] To me all of them are phenonemonal but Mar’s physical beauty is difficult not to notice.

[VaNiDoSiTa]What do you miss most when you are far from home?

[Jaime_Camil] My friends and the food.

[Jenni]Hello Jaime, you are very cute, how are you doing? What is your favorite song on your second album?

[Jaime_Camil] “Dime” salsa version, “Hablame” and “''''Te Amaré En Silencio''''.'

[Mike] Did it end bad with TvAzetea?

[Jaime_Camil]No but since they gave me the opportunity to be on the screen it is a company that I loved very much. I never once thought I would dislike them so much.

[adaa]Jaime with all do respect, as a request you should make the Sunday program a little shorter without so much tension, I get tired of watching so much.

[Jaime_Camil]I too consider the long pauses a little exaggerated. But good or bad, this is the format of the reality shows and a lot of people like the emotion.

[SIALIS]WHAT DO YOU VALUE MORE IN A WOMAN?

[Jaime_Camil]In any human being I value the transparency of the soul.

[JcAlexander]WHERE DO YOU BUY YOUR CLOTHES, THEY ARE AWESOME

[Jaime_Camil] A very dear friend makes my clothes on OT whose name is Gerardo Dragonetti and his store is located en Parral#26, Col. Condesa.

[lil] Tell me five cd's that you list to at home or in your car

[Jaime_Camil] Sin Bandera, Maxwell, Al Jarreau

[FERNANDA] WHO SELECTS THE JURY FOR OPERACION TRIUNFO?

[Jaime_Camil] The program's production, selects four permanent jurors and two invites. And good or bad, you don't know how much I have enjoyed the collection of jurors.

[blanca] JAIME WHEN IS YOUR BIRTHDAY, I HAVE SEEN YOU ON LA OREJA AND YOU ARE VERY CUTE

[Jaime_Camil] July 22 and thank you very much

[Jenni] Jaime what is your favorite country in the world?

[Jaime_Camil] Beautiful and beloved Mexico.

[chapis]WHY WERE YOU AWAY FROM THE SCENES FOR SUCH A LONG TME?

[Jaime_Camil] I wasn't away from the scene since I have been living in Miami for about a year and half, I have been on the scene but in the US

[tuzaa]Do you like the way Piloto acts because to some people he's a little crazy

[Jaime_Camil] He'll exagerrate suddenly but he's okay.

[yady] Hello I am a paisana of ANAIS and I would like to know your opinion of her

[Jaime_Camil] Excellent artist, excelent voice but if you want to make it in this business you have to let go of the family ties and relationships. This business you always have to le tit come first and she gives me the impression up until now the boyfriend has been first.

[patis]Hello Jaime I like you very much and I have seen you in the Sunday galas and the way you talk you is very similar to luis miguel, tell me are you friends and do you hang out together

[Jaime_Camil]He has been in my group of friends for more than 20 years and obviously in this group we have many things in common

[pamela] with whom would like to make a duet for your next album

[Jaime_Camil] With Lupillo Rivera.

[ruti] hello jaime, a peruvian friend writes you, would like to know when will you visit us?

[Jaime_Camil] I hope to travel soon to Peru and promote the album around those parts

[Pilita]Jaime..what is your favorite Mexican beach destination?

[Jaime_Camil]Perhaps Acapulco and the Riviera Maya.

[MACB] HELLO I AM FROM ENGLAND AND I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF YOU HAVE BEEN AROUND HERE

[Jaime_Camil] Yes. Even though it they are considered to be cold, I have many esteemed friends over there.

[lupita] do you think that OT has had same success as BIG BROTHER

[Jaime_Camil] They are totally different programs and it doesn't fit to compare the two.

[gpemanzan3011] JAIME I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHEN ARE YOU COMING TO CHIHUAHUA

[Jaime_Camil] Probably next week.

[rocio] DID YOU FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE IN THE PRESENCE OF ALE GUZMAN

[Jaime_Camil] Of course not.

[Juan0] Are there plans to make an album of OT and when

[Jaime_Camil] Aha! There is already on sale albums from Gala 1 and Gala 2, wherein you can listen to the songs from the students who sang in said Galas. It only costs 59 pesos and is so cheap to boost the album industry in this country and say no to pirated music.

[kittmush] Would you like to someday record any bolero?

[Jaime_Camil] Very much, the old time mexican songs are beautiful

[dharmma29] is it in your immediate plans to travel to europe?

[Jaime_Camil] not in the immediate

[estefany] jaime i ask you again why do you hate tv azteca

[Jaime_Camil] Because it is a television station that when I was there they didn't do things how they do now, for example they steal projects in bad faith and with pain; they make disatrous comments that are also destructive and I think they have failed in professional ethics, what didn't exist when I was there.

[sherleyche] JAIME HOW DO YOU LIKE YOUR WOMEN?

[Jaime_Camil] That they are women is more than enough

[serena] How is it that you were selected to be host/commentator on Operacion?

[Jaime_Camil] The producer, Pedro Torres called me in Miami and told me that he had a television project and they thought I would be the only person who could host it. It gave me great pride and happiness.

[pamela]Singing in English for when and i note you have the look to make it as an american movie actor, that is hollywood

[Jaime_Camil] From your mouth to God's ears and Lord willing the third album we will have made the crossover.

[monica] when are your tours that you have planned

[Jaime_Camil] For the moment I don't have anything planned, but on www.jaimecamil.com is the date calendar and the page is in english and spanish versions

[anali] describe yourself in three words

[Jaime_Camil] Persistent, transparent and authentic.

[ROSY] Please tell Josué that I love him, that whenever he wants to come to Guadalajara, I will be waiting for him, to send me greetings to be happy, please do me that favor

[Jaime_Camil] With pleasure, but they are so stressed at the night Gala I think he could forget, don't take it personally

[guera23] hello chiquis, WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO PROMOTE YOUR ALBUM IN SAN ANTONIO?

[Jaime_Camil] I already went, Chiquis

[yuridia] JAIME CAMIL, IS IT TRUE THAT YOU ARE IN THE BUSINESS ONLY FOR FUN, BEING THAT YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE TO LIFT A FINGER

[Jaime_Camil] I answered it before, like I told you, that stupid perception makes me sick. I don't know why people that also come from families of position, like Enrique Iglesias , Cristian Castro or Alejandro Fernández, are not bothered with the same thing. Nevertheless all of us are where we are through own merits and my work and my effort is what feeds me.

[SyF] JAIME LOTS OF GREETINGS FROM THE CLUB ''''EL MUNDO DE JAIME CAMIL''''!!!!!'

[Jaime_Camil] Hello, how are you? That's sweet that you are all here. Thanks for supporting me so much along with Tanya Louise, I like you all very much.

[Jaime_Camil] Cris, for the love of God, this is a family chat!

[Host] Time is runnng out, therefore Jaime Camil will only answer three more questions

[Host] Continue!

[AleFan]What don't you like about Mexican TV and what would you like to see more of?

[Jaime_Camil] I adore all the Televisa projects, but more than seeing changes on television, I would like to see changes in the viewers, that they expect a little more from television stations

[909084] what do you think about the movie, el padre amaro, what opinion do you have about it, atte. diana

[Jaime_Camil] 'I have not seen it, but long live the art, long live the freedom of speech, and a lot thanks to all the publicity given by the demonstrators of "morals and good values" , because thanks to them, my friend Gael Garcia sold out all the entrances. Congratulations to the art of the Mexican movies.'

[Clase406] Hello Jaime, Do you think that after Operation Triunfo, your career will get better or stay the same

[Jaime_Camil] This career is of highs and lows, and to be part of this medium you need peserverence. This career is based on small daily and constant efforts to make it a success and you should never give up or ever think that a project will make or break you. You have to battle constantly.

[Jaime_Camil] I thank all the users that were connected, thanks to their affection and for supporting my career, may God bless you all, I am going to continue the promotion of the album don't miss OT. It like you all very much, Jaime.

[Host] Jaime, Esmas.com appreciates that you have chatted with us and we hope to have you here again.

[Host] Jaime Camil has left the chat room.

[Host] Thank you very much for participating with us in the chat with Jaime Camil.

Ariel mocks Alicia for not having enough money to buy new stockings. He says 100 pesos (about US$9) will be enough. He offers her the money and grandly says he knows they cost less, but she can keep the change. She refuses the money, and he scolds her for being so disagreeable about his act of charity. (He takes the cash back, though.) Alicia says she can solve this problem without his money, and tells him to leave her in peace.

He leaves her in peace... for the moment, at least. "You never learn," Martha clucks at Alicia.

Ariel proceeds to spread his sunshine in Luigi's studio, where Aldo is sharing his Deep Thoughts about happy-dancey music with Marcia, Luigi, and (I still don't know why) Ricky Armstrong. "We were speaking of sordid and somber things, and along comes the most somber of them all," Luigi complains. "Glad to see you too," Ariel answers. Marcia tells Luigi not to be rude, and asks him to introduce Ariel and Aldo. Luigi introduces Ariel as a high-ranking executive in Conceptos. (Not true - Ariel doesn't hold a position in the company that I know of, other than partial owner, but considering how little Conceptos is worth right now, that doesn't mean much.) He introduces Aldo as someone who's collaborating on a very important project.

The two A's shake hands and, in answer to Ariel's query, Aldo leisurely explains the whole gastronomical tourism thing. Ariel makes a crack about this being Lety's big plan to save the company from the ruin she made of it; Aldo indicates that Lety wasn't the only person who played a role in the disaster. Annoyed that Aldo knows so much about the Conceptos situation, Ariel says that Aldo doesn't have a right to an opinion and no one asked him for one. Aldo just grins broadly and answers that he could have done this incredibly important project with some other agency, but chose Conceptos specifically (and solely) because of "your president," licenciada Padilla.

Ariel doesn't have much to say to that, so he tells Marcia that he needs to talk to her. Apparently, he means now. The two of them go out to the lobby, but Marcia says she needs to discuss a couple of things with Lety first. Ariel tells her not to take too long, because his matter is very grave. (Remind me again, what is Ariel's contribution to Conceptos? Oh yeah - he sucks up air, coffee, and dignity.)

Out in the lobby, Paula Maria is on the phone with someone, trying to get someone to drive her home, but his (or her) car isn't working.

Sara takes another call from the US Embassy. Flustered, she gets her English and her Spanish a little mixed up, but explains that Fernando must be working on something really important.

Ariel approaches PM. She timidly greets him. He touches her hair and says her new position suits her. She thanks him and says she's at his service. "That's good to know," he says. As he turns away, PM brushes his cooties out of her hair.

Just then, Fern emerges from the stairwell, holding the trashbag behind him. Ariel seems to have a fresh batch of insults ready for him, but they wilt before he can even get started. "Oh, it's trash," he says. He manages to wheeze out a remark about Fern having found his true calling - scavenger.

Fern laughs. (Ariel seems not to recognize this sound.) Fern says Ariel's great. Some of the best people in the world say they don't like Ariel, but not Fern - he likes Ariel just fine. He's funny! (He keeps touching Ariel's jacket. Ariel looks offended.) Fern explains about separating the glass, aluminum, cardboard, paper... he'd heard of recyclable trash, but he had thought it had something to do with bicycles.

I guess Ariel is used to these conversations. He says that if Fern wants, he can order someone to separate the trash. "A million thanks," Fern answers.

Wow. Just imagine what they must have sounded like when they were younger and even more immature. No wonder Teresita prefers Marcia.

Sara tells Fern that the US Embassy has been calling. Fern says he'll talk to them later. He whispers loudly to her that Ariel is the one who smells bad. He excuses himself and goes to his and Omar's office.

"U. S. Embassy, U. S. Embassy," Ariel mutters thoughtfully.

In Ren & Stimpy's, Pinky & the Brain's, etc.'s office, Omar is on the phone with Guillermo, setting up a meeting first thing tomorrow morning (about a month from now, at this rate). Fern leaps over the desk (without hurting himself) and takes the Big Chair. (Omar handles the chair as Fern jumps - I think it's supposed to look as though he's trying to keep Fern from getting it, but he's probably moving it so Fern doesn't break his neck. Just a guess. And thank you, Omar!)

Omar complains about the smell and tells Fern the embassy was looking for him. Fern says he was in the trash, looking for important things. Fern says it was a lot of work, but he found it. "You mean that's the bag of things from Lety?" Fern sarcastically calls Omar a wizard for having divined such a great mystery. He says he's going to present them to their owner. Omar says "over my dead body." (Like anyone could smell the difference?)

Lety greets Marcia politely, and Marcia says they have something delicate to discuss. Before they can go any further, Fern comes in, and hurriedly hides the bag behind his back when he sees Marcia. Lety greets him politely too. So does Marcia.

Marcia and Fern pause to mentally kneel before the Monster Ladyparts Seashell of Doom. Fern says he wants to talk. "You want to talk to me?" Marcia asks. "Not exactly," Fern answers. He says he's there to talk about the project. Marcia says that's great - that's why she's there too, so why doesn't he sit down with them. He says no, maybe we should talk about it in a meeting, some other time. Marcia sarcastically offers to give them some privacy.

Fern struggles to open the door while still holding the bag behind his back. "What smells?" Marcia asks. "Smells like trash," Lety says. "Yeah, like trash," Marcia sneeringly says to Lety. (What a shame Marcia never had a sister.) Lety sighs and rolls her eyes slightly.

Fern goes back into the lobby, cradling the bag. Martha offers to throw it out for him. Lola backs away from the odor. Sara is still struggling with her English/Spanish on the phone and tells Fern that the embassy is calling again. Fern explains that the odor is the smell of Ariel, and asks Sara (half in English) to pass the call to his office. (PM offers to throw out the bag for him, and he refuses, commenting on how helpful they all are.)

Martha says it smells like Fern's been eating rooster. (Maybe she means spoiled chicken.) And speaking of rooster, she's hungry.

Fern goes back to his office and Omar gets the big chair. He reports that Marcia was in Lety's office. The phone rings and they both reach for it. Fern wins. ("Snooze, you lose," he tells Omar.) Fern is told to wait. Fern drops the phone on the desk to bring Omar up-to-date on the events of the last three minutes.

Omar tries to play doctor. (Psychiatrist, that is.) He says Fern's problem, his conflict, is that he's not living in real life. He looks ridiculous carrying that bag of trash around everywhere. He reminds him that Fern once told him he didn't want anything with Lety. Fern doesn't remember this. He thinks maybe he was drunk when he said that. Omar disagrees. Fern says he can't bring himself to throw the things away.

I think Omar then proposes to make a necklace of all the stuffed animals and give them to Luigi and dance with them. (I'm sure I've mangled this.) "Not only are you a pervert, you're kind of gay," Fern tells him. Because of the way he dances. Omar says he's dancing like Luigi. And he says that if Fern wants to get Lety out of his system, he has to start by getting rid of all this junk.

Omar takes a CarvaHallmark out of the bag and begins mocking Fern, "mi Lety, mi Lety, I can't live without you," blah blah blah.

Omar asks Fern if he still thinks he has a chance with Lety. Fern says no... he says it's different than before. It's changed. He's not going to fight. He's got to start getting rid of the ghost of Lety. Omar gives him the bag and tells him he knows what he needs to do.

In Lety's office, Marcia accuses Lety of going back on her word. The cuartel knows the whole incredible, sad story about Lety and Fernando. She thought Lety was a woman of integrity, but what did she expect from a woman who would seduce someone's fiance. Surely Lety was dying to tell the secretaries all the rich details of what had happened.

Lety denies telling them anything, doesn't know how they would know about that stupid story. She says it's too painful for her, and she's left it in the past. Marcia asks if Lety has forgotten what happened. Lety repeats that she's left it in the past. She'll talk to the cuartel and find out what happened.

Marcia says they have very precise information, and were saying that she broke her engagement with Fern because of Lety.

Lety is surprised to hear this. Marcia angrily asks what did she think after she "presented" her with all the gifts and cards Fern had given her. (Funny, that's not how I remember it. How I remember it is that Marcia demanded that Lety show these things to her or else she'd call security and then Lety would have to deal with the wrath of Celso. Lety was kind enough to insist that they open the bag in private, instead of out in the lobby in front of all the nosy secretaries.)

What do you know - Lety remembers it the same way I do. She was not, and is not, interested in letting the cuartel in on the whole story. She asks Marcia if she's forgotten that she had accused Lety of stealing. Marcia suddenly doesn't want to pursue this angle anymore. Go figure.

Lety promises to straighten it all out. Marcia seems annoyed that this will happen "later." Marcia, if there's a time machine around that Lety can use to get this done "earlier," please speak up.

Lety tells Marcia she wants to have a quick meeting, right now, to discuss progress on the project. (Luigi is the only person who can possibly have anything to report!) Marcia sarcastically agrees to show up. Nice to see some enthusiasm for not ending up in the poorhouse, Marc!

Two seconds later, most of the gang (minus Aldo, Omar, and Fern) is in the boardroom. Luigi is giddily enthusiastic and calls Lety "Pre Pre." He explains that it's "precious president." He giggles. He's made lots of progress with Ricky, Caro, and Marcia. Ricky is also giddy and talks about a slogan, logo, music, etc. and does a goofy impression of Luigi. Luigi says they've also worked out the general concept.

I just noticed - I can't see Carolina's highlights. :-(

Fern and Omar show up. Fern tries to take his usual seat between Marcia and Tomas, but everyone reacts to the terrible odor clinging to him. Caro fans the air - yes, she's got a fan too, in addition to the pseudo-kimono and chopsticks.

Oh, ugh, I can almost smell it myself. Wait... I do smell something. Ew, Polly! Jeez!! (My dog has the most exquisite timing!)

Fern reveals that he has not accomplished anything, although it takes him a lot of time (and words, including "gastrological") to explain that. Lety gapes at him as he babbles about nothing. Omar adds that he's set up a meeting with Guillermo for tomorrow.

Lety hands out other assignments. She and Tomas are going to do a budget. She asks Marcia to contact some directors to work with Luigi. Fern reiterates that he and Omar will meet with Guillermo. There are more odor complaints. Fern says his lunch disagreed with him.

Omar is on the phone with Guillermo in his office, saying he'll be at the meeting tomorrow. As he hangs up, Alicia comes in (wearing her new stockings) and says she's cancelled all of her evening's plans to have dinner with him, just as she promised. He says that's too bad, because he's waiting for someone else to confirm a date with him. Alicia asks if it's with a woman. Luigi comes in and tries to kick her out. She shoves him out of the way and offers to be Aldo's second choice (not in so many words) for dinner. He agrees, and Luigi throws her out. He warns Aldo that she's trying to trap him.

Luigi gets a call from Ruli. He leaves to take it in his studio. "It's a zoo," Aldo laughs to himself.

Luigi tells Ruli about Aldo. He's not posessive or controlling. He's like Ruli... at the beginning of their relationship. (Irma, the involuntary eavesdropper, rolls her eyes.) Apparently, Ruli needs to be reminded that he was once understanding, sensitive, not jealous or controlling; loyal, empathetic, tolerant... but he has slowly become a big control freak, just like all men. Luigi asks for just one reason he's ever given Ruli to be that way.

Luigi sends Irma out of the room on an errand. As soon as she's gone, he has a hissy fit, saying he's always behaved well with Ruli, and doesn't deserve to be treated this way. (He stamps his foot.)

Alicia goes back to her desk, and I notice that the chalk line got wiped off the floor. Did I miss something? Who cleaned that up?

Lola's phone rings. "What do you want, homewrecker?" Jazmin is calling to say that Sanchez is here for Lola. Lola nervously wonders what this could mean. PM thinks Sanchez's visit is just an excuse to see his new giiiiiiirlfriend. They all giggle at Sara and joke about the differences in their heights and ages.

Lola doesn't want to go down there and see him, but Sara reminds her of the dangerous new receptionist downstairs. Lola rushes away to meet her fate.

Marcia finally meets with Ariel. He whines about having to wait, and complains about Aldo. Marcia says she likes him okay, and asks what Ariel's grave situation is. They closed the stockbrokers' office (literally, "house of bags") where he's been working. He's out of a job! (Quick - someone tell Alicia so she can punch him next time he approaches her!) He's going to look for another job, but until then, he's got a cash flow problem.

(I laugh. Time passes. Still laughing. Try to go to bed, but can't, because still laughing.)

The car he's been using - it's not his. The money he invested - it's lost. (He blames Fern for this because he thought Conceptos was doing well and he could afford to gamble on something else. Idiot.) He reminds Marcia that Lety said that money had been put aside to pay the shareholders, right?

Marcia confirms this and says "Want an advance on that money? Fine, go talk to Lety!"

He whines that he really needs the advance. Marcia repeats that he has to talk to Lety. She's not going to do it. Ariel says if Lety could shoot someone, he'd be her first victim. Marcia agrees, but says her corpse would be right next to his. He complains that the only thing worse than losing his job, is having to speak to that woman.

Marcia advises her brother not to make fun of Lety. They are in her hands, and now she's a different woman.

Ariel thinks she's not a different woman. She's only where she is due to her errors and the circumstances of the moment. She's just as ugly and neurotic as ever. He sarcastically thanks Marcia for the "support" and leaves.

Caro visits Aldo. She warns him not to have false hopes over Lety. She's sorry to tell him that Lety is still thinking about, and suffering over, Fern. The idea was that she was going to forget about him, little by little, but now they're always near one another.

They wonder when he should tell Lety he loves her. He says he's going to have to look for the right moment. Probably not in the office. He invited her to dinner, and is waiting to hear from her.

Aldo says that if she tells him she's still yearning for Fern, he will fight for her. He wants her at his side. He will dedicate his life to making her happy.

What if she tells him that the only thing that will make her happy is Fern's love?
What then, Dimples?

A phone rings in Lety's office. She looks around and realizes it's her cell phone. It's Tomas. She puts him on speaker, and they talk about how great their phones sound. (It's a brand that rhymes with Granola. Their new car is a brand that rhymes with Bored. Their cell phone service is a brand that rhymes with... uh... MexBel.) Tomas enters her office, still talking on the phone. Ha, ha. He babbles, she types. I'm surprised the Monster Ladyparts Seashell of Doom doesn't send out beams to interfere with the phone signals. Oh well... Lety asks about the stockings. Tomas recounts the Alicia's Pantyhose Caper. He thinks the fact that Alicia eventually accepted them, proves that he's an expert on feminine psychology. Lety scoffs.

Ariel comes in, and I'm starting to wonder if there shouldn't be a lock on that door. People just come strolling through whenever they like. Lety says she's busy. Ariel says it's important AND urgent. Tomas excuses himself.

Here's where it gets weird: Ariel invites Lety to dinner.

Down in the lobby, Jazmin greets Sanchez, who is holding a box of chocolates. They chat and flirt. She tries to get info from him about the divorce. He says his business there is strictly confidential. A lawyer's clients' information is as secret as the confessions they give to priests. He offers to give her a photo of himself. She says the only thing she wants is to find out if Lola will have to sell the house and give half the money to El Cheque. Sanchez refuses to answer.

El Cheque shows up with roses. Sanchez says this is a conflict of grand proportions. Not surprisingly, El Cheque thinks Sanchez is trying to steal Jazmin. Sanchez says she is indeed pretty, but he likes Sara, and the chocolates are for her.

The phone rings. Jazmin doesn't answer "Conceptos" or something businesslike - she answers "Sí, diga." That's fine if you're at home, but not at work. Wonder how long she's going to last at this job?

It's Rosales, calling for Sanchez. El Cheque pulls Jazmin aside. She asks if he has to give Lola any money. He says no, but he thinks they can use Sanchez's interest in Sara to their advantage. Jazmin doubts this, since they're all so unkind to her. He urges her to make nice with Sara.

Back in Lety's office, Ariel says he doesn't understand why she's being so "strange." Hasn't anyone ever invited her to dinner before?

Lety says yes, of course, but never anyone who had said to her face that she looked like a clown, that she couldn't work for a production house, that she was an assault on people's eyes. Ariel admits that he's said all of those things at some time or other, but it's clear that she's now more put-together, and has something that's... very... how to say it... attractive. (This "how to say it" thing is something he borrowed from Aldo's speech earlier in this episode.)

Lety informs him that "this woman" is still the same person as before, and she can't accept his invitation. If he wants to talk to her, she'll check her schedule, and see if she has time tomorrow. Obviously, it will have to be in the office.

Ariel believes she wants to take revenge on him. That's okay. Check her schedule and see when she has time. But frankly, her reaction strikes him as childish. Lety says no, it's not childish, it's just the only way that she can converse with him.

Lety stares at what sure looks to me like a blank screen and says she has time to see him at 4 tomorrow. (I don't mean an empty schedule - I mean she has no windows open on her screen; it's just a big Conceptos logo.) He says that's impossible. He'll be busy all day. (Doing what? Counting all the money he's lost?) How about at night? She says they could meet at 8 PM. He asks if she's busy after that. She says no, and asks if it's going to take him a really long time to talk to her. He says no - it's perfect. He'll come for her at 8.

Lety says no, he's not picking her up. Ariel says if she has no other plans, there's no reason they can't talk somewhere else. Like at a restaurant, for example. Lety repeats, "I'm not going to go out to eat with you."

Ariel accuses her of being afraid, but Lety says she just doesn't understand why they can't discuss whatever it is in the office. He says she won't understand if they don't talk, and whatever they can do here, they can do in a restaurant.

Lety still resists. Ariel asks if she thinks he's going to seduce her. He repeats that he thinks she's scared. In spite of her presidential look and her confident voice, she's still the same insecure woman as always.

Lety says, "Well, that's your opinion and I couldn't care less what you think of me." Ariel says that's fine with him. Tomorrow he'll give her the chance to show him that he's wrong. He adds, "I'll come for you at 8. ON TIME." Lety grinds her teeth as Ariel leaves her office.

It's going-home time. Alicia prances around the lobby with her makeup palette. The cuartel makes fun of her new stockings and ask if they're used. Alicia says she'd die before wearing used stockings. As they all pile into the elevator, they warn her not to tear her new ones as well.

They get down to the main lobby, where Lola has to be restrained when she sees El Cheque. Sara approaches Sanchez, who is so excited to see her, he fails to hang up the phone nicely and merely throws it in Jazmin's general direction. (Again, I wonder what the phone budget is like for this show. The only other TV character I can remember who was nearly as rough on phones was Steve McGarrett.)

Lola tries to talk to Sanchez about the divorce, but he only has eyes for Sara. El Cheque tries to get Sara's attention and calls Sanchez a slob, but Sara ignores him. Lola asks how he can call Sanchez a slob. There is more talk, and multiple parties encourage Sanchez to give the chocolates to Sara. He gives them to her and says sweet things. Sara makes a face that looks like a cross between puckering up, and disgust.

Tomas catches Alicia openly inspecting her stockings. He says they fit her well, and she yells at him for looking at her legs. He says he gave her those stockings with great fondness. She says she only took them because it's an emergency. She'll pay him back tomorrow.

Ariel notices the new stockings too. He asks where they came from. Maybe a female friend loaned them? Alicia is outraged by the suggestion. He says sorry, he forgot - she doesn't have any friends. She protests - it's not that, it's just that she would never wear used stockings.

He conjectures that someone must have given them to her as a gift. Does she have a boyfriend? Is he here, around Conceptos? Alicia steals a nervous glance at Tomas, who is grinning and wiggling his eyebrows hopefully, and says no. (Tomas looks surprised.) Or, maybe it's a lover? A secret lover, who has lots of money? He's told her about his friends that have so much money, and great resources to solve her problems...

"Ariel, please, no more." Alicia looks ready to cry.

I can't wait till she finds out he's almost as broke as she is.

Aldo risks life and limb defending Tomas against Ariel's wrath.
Lety pauses in her typing.

Later
Ariel takes Lety to Le Noir, crushes a waiter and eats him whole, then slithers away, leaving Lety to pay the bill.

We open with a repeat of yesterday's episode, in which Diana walks into to Victor Bracho's office. "Good news! After less than 24 hours of stellar performance, you have earned yourself a raise! I'm the owner of this fine establishment and can do as I please." I think this is the "import business'" version of the casting couch. Diana says she believes in earning her promotions. "No hay problema," says Victor. "Do you know how to kiss well?" Diana, who seems to have picked up Larry's intellect, truly seems surprised. A wrestling match ensues on the desk. Just when things are looking truly bad for our beautiful but dumb heroine, who should "just happen" to drop by but Diego. God's gift to Human Resources. He hears the screams of his beloved, and bursts into Victor's office, slugging Victor. We seem to have a pattern here.

***Beefcake alert*** Max and Emili-Oh are at the beach without shirts, showing off their pecs. Where has Emili-Oh been all these episodes? Probably hiding under some shapeless suit. Max is doing push-ups on a ledge. Emili-Oh stupidly asks Max if he is still trying to see Diana and questioning Diana's true motives. "Yes I want to see her, but she wants nothing to do with me. She puts up barriers because I'm married. That tells me she loves me for my mind and not my wallet." "Are you wanting to marry her?" asks Emili-oh. "Yes, of course." Emili-Oh makes some comment, I believe, to the effect that Octave will kill them. Max says he no longer has a bull's eye painted on him; Larry has taken his place on the wall of shame by running off and getting married in Vegas to a servant. Gaby. Diana's sister.

The fight continues at Bracho Importing. Lot's of yelling. Who should appear but Mrs. Victor Bracho. "What is the meaning of this?" asks Mrs. Victor. Victor has some 'splaining to do. It takes all of a millisecond for Mrs. V to figure out what's been going on. Diego tells her Victor is a pig. Diana tells Mrs. V she's a new receptionist and Victor was trying to take advantage of her. Diego and Diana exit stage right. Mrs. V says it's always the same thing with Victor. "I'm tired of you making a fool of me." She then pulls out a gun and starts waving it around. By now the other women are trying to wrestle the gun away from her. Victor runs off and she calls him a coward. You can tell who controls THAT relationship.

Now Emili-Oh and Max are running on the beach, still showing off their shirtless bods. Max says he wants to take Diana out on his boat tomorrow. Emili-Oh tells him storms have been predicted. "No problem," says our feckless hero, "Imagine this, Diana and I trapped in the middle of a storm at sea. She'll be scared and I'll be able to take her in my strong arms." ***Eeeewwww. This is too disgusting to write.*** Emili-Oh (who I'm starting to like more and more now) tells Max he needs therapy. I couldn't have put it better myself!

Camila shows up in Andres' office wearing some skimpy leopard print halter, borrowed from Jos on Mundo de Fieras. A--"Did you bring the money?" C—"Well no. . ." A—Then you can leave the way you came in." Camila says she has something better, a bracelet valued at more than $20,000. Andres asks if it's fake. Camila says, "Any moron can tell it's real." Andres tells her to quit with the insults. He wants to take the bracelet to a jeweler for an appraisal. C—"Why don't you trust me? You don't think I'm capable of having a bracelet such as this?" A—"Why would I trust a woman who abandons her child? If you don't let me get it appraised, then I'm not telling you Diana's secret. Take it or leave it." Camila says "Fine, get it appraised. Then when you find out how valuable it is, call me and tell me the secret." Now here's a guy I'd trust with an expensive piece of jewelry and just his word!"

We're now at a family pow wow with Peyote, Octave, D/M, Bruno, Max and Yolanda. They are discussing finding a new nurse to help with D/M's therapy. D/M is campaigning to have Bruno help her. "What do you think, Max?" Max is silent. Octave suggests he is thinking about the nurse who's a thief. "What are you talking about?" asks Bruno (as if she didn't know). Octave delights in repeating once again that Diana stole her valuable bracelet. Max, as usual, denies Diana is a thief. This would have probably gone on all night, but we are saved by the doorbell. Max tells Octave "If you think you're in a bad mood now, you ain't seen nothing yet!"

In struts Luscious Larry, in that black jacket I love so much, holding Gaby's hand. I must say, his fashionably ripped jeans do nothing for me. You can tell I am no fashionista. Octave tells him to get out. "Not so fast, Mommie Dearest. I have an announcement to make. Gaby is my wife!" Everyone but Max is impactadas! Lots of "looks" exchanged. Peyote gets a huge grin on her face.

Diego and Diana are chatting in Granny's house. Diana thanks him for saving her from that disgusting pig Victor Bracho. Diego apologizes for sending her into the lion's den for at least the third time. "I'm always going to take care of you," says Diego. Then we have the usual conversation with Diana telling him she doesn't love him, him asking her to give him a chance, blah, blah, blah. He tries to lean in for a kiss, but she backs away. Diego begs her "Don't think of me as a friend, think of me as a man!" Right now I'm thinking of him as neither. After Diego leaves, Diana says a prayer asking God to help her forget Max and to let her love Diego. "The noblest of men."

Back to the festivities at Irascible Mansion. Octave asks Larry if this is a joke. "Nope," says Larry, "Gaby is now an Irascible!" "Never!!!!" screams Octave. After more heated exchange between mother and son, Peyote walks up to Gaby and happily says, "Welcome to the family!" The theatrics continue way too long. Octave says, "What do I know, I'm just the owner of the house." "As a matter-of-fact, you're not," retorts Max. "When dad died, the house went to us children. Larry has every right to stay with his wife." More theatrics as Gaby stands there cowering in Luscious Larry's armpit. Finally Yolanda steps in and steers Octave out of the room. Larry asks Lala to prepare a guestroom for Gaby. Poor Gaby is to remain the Virgin Bride.

Andres calls Diana and tells her she needs to visit Doc Evil tomorrow at the hospital. If she doesn't do what they say, they'll tell Max she's a thief who tried to kill Doc Evil. Not only that, what we say at your trial is dependent upon your cooperation. Diana tries to protest, to no avail. Granny walks in and asks Diana why she's so upset. Diana tells her about Andres blackmailing her.

Andres and Doc Evil gloat about their plans for Diana, when she meets them the next day. Andres says they have her in the palm of their hands. Doc Evil asks Andres if Diana will show. "Oh, she'll be here alright!" says Andres confidently. They high-five one another as visions of Diana dance in their heads.

Now Octave is ranting to Yolanda about Larry. Peyote is in the room with them smirking. Octave is wearing some tight-fitting white jacket that doesn't close in the front. As far as I can tell, she is not wearing a camisole or anything else under it. Octave is raving about Larry embarrassing the family, etc. Peyote steps in and tells Octave she thinks it's great that Larry married a servant. This is the new millennium, come join us. "No one cares about these sorts of things any more. Quit taking your frustrations out on us!" The fight escalates and Octave hauls off and slaps Peyote. The bell rings, they come out swinging and the fight is on! Lots of slapping and arms flailing, as they go crashing onto the bed. Octave is not wearing the type of clothes to be doing this sort of activity. Larry and Max run in and try to pull the combatants to opposite corners. Peyote tells Octave she's crazy. Finally Peyote storms out, just about knocking over the television camera as she runs by. In fact, she may have knocked it over because now another camera is on Octave. Octave screams "You are not my children!!!!"

Bruno and D/M are marveling at everything that has transpired this evening. Peyote stomps down the stairs yelling about her mom needing a straight jacket. Meanwhile, Octave is now yelling at Max and Larry. Max tells her she's being hysterical. "You're dang right I am. First a filthy nurse and now a servant! Where have I gone wrong?!" Octave is apoplectic. She finally collapses and Larry and Max carry her to the bed.

Lala and Gaby are in the guestroom listening to the fight. Finally all is quiet in Octave's room. Gaby confesses to Lala about how Larry whisked her off her feet to Las Vegas to get married, but then dumped her in the hotel room while he drank himself into a stupor in the bar. Gaby says she feels wretched about the whole experience.

Diana and Granny are still discussing Diana's predicament. Granny tells Diana not to go to the hospital alone. Diana says something about Diego being volatile. Diana says she has to confront Andres and Doc Evil alone and face her destiny.

D/M is doing her usual nasally whine to Bruno about how Diana has ruined everything between her and Max. Now that Gaby is an Irascible, Diana will inevitably come back to the house. Bruno tells D/M that Octave will never allow it. D/M responds that Octave is all bark and no bite. It's going to be up to D/M to destroy Diana.

Isabel is trying to get the RM (the real Marfil) to eat. Marfil tells Isabel how evil her twin sister is and that Deborah will never let Marfil resume her place as Max's wife. Debora is capable of murder. Isabel doesn't believe it. Besides, Bruno would never let it happen. RM suggests a deal. RM has a boatload of money in the bank, that Max put in her name. If Isabel gives her physical therapy and helps her walk again, she will reward Isabel handsomely.

Some how Octave has changed into a black Frederick's of Hollywood negligee. Max, Larry and Yolanda are still in her room. I'm not quite sure who all was involved with this change of costume. They talk her into getting some sleep. O tells Larry she'll never forgive him for the humiliation he has caused the family. Larry apologizes repeatedly, kisses her hand and leaves. Max tries to get O to forgive Luscious Larry. It was something he did on impulse. Pilar drove him to it.

Peyote is walking along the shoreline, in the middle of the night, repeating "I hate you, Octave, I hate you!!" Suddenly, out from the depths of the ocean, comes the creature of the black lagoon. I swear this scene was stolen from some B-Movie. Make that a C-Movie. It is Pancho! Peyote couldn't be happier. Pancho—"What are you doing here, a society girl like you walking along the beach alone in the middle of the night?" Peyote—"Looking for you. . ." They fall in a heap on the sand and start rolling into the water. I'm sure both actors had a wonderful time removing all that sand from every orifice when the scene was done.

Diana is praying to the Virgincita to save her.

Gaby is sleeping in the guestroom when Octave jumps on her and banishes her to the servants' quarters to sleep.

Diana is leaving the house when Max shows up. She tells him she has a doctor's appointment and needs to catch the bus. He says he won't take no for an answer. Off they go in his yellow Corvette convertible. Diego happens to be walking down the street when he sees Diana getting into the car with Max. Mutual glares are exchanged.

Nancy walks in to Gaby's old room and asks if it's true Gaby is now married to Larry. "Sure is," says Gaby. Lala walks in and tells Nancy to go clean something. Lala asks what Gaby is doing in the servants' quarters. Gaby tells Lala that Octave threw her out of the guestroom.

Now we're following Max and Diana at the marina. Max seems to be the liveliest I've seen him. He's got that "I Feeeeeel Good" James Brown spring in his step. He brings her to the family yacht, which looks like a regular boat to me. She half-heartedly tries to make excuses…the doctor appointment…a storm is coming…but Max won't take "no" for an answer. The doctor appointment can wait and we'll be back before the storm hits. Lots of foreshadowing for the loyal viewing public. He sends Diana to the head to change. He apparently has Larry's knack for picking out perfectly fitting clothes for the Soriano sisters.

Peyote tries to sneak back into the house the next morning. She is clearly doing the "walk of shame." Her hair is no longer curled and she seems to have lost some of her makeup. Octave catches her and starts in with 50 questions. "Who were you with? Rene?" "No mom, I was with someone else." The conversation goes downhill from there and Octave backhands Peyote yet again. Peyote has had enough of being Mommie Dearest's punching bag for all the evils of the world and lets Octave know just how she feels.

Caramel is on the deck waiting as Pancho slithers home the next morning. "Where were you? Diego said you didn't sleep here last night." P—"I was working late. I didn't tell you about it because I know you want out of the business." C—"I want US out of the business." They talk about her stealing his clothes, etc. She asks if he was with another woman. "Of course not!" lies Pancho. Lots of flirting back and forth and talk of a future marriage. "I'm yours, all yours," says Pancho. Life is good in Caramel's little world. In Pancho's, too.

Back to the boat and Diana in the little bikini Max has picked out for her. She's referring to him in "usted" form. He's telling her to use "tu." Now he's getting all breathy as he's telling her he loves kissing her and tasting her lips. She's trying to deflect his compliments. The usual between these two dolts. She's worried about the storm. He's saying it won't hit until later. "It's a beautiful day" as suspenseful music plays in the background. Diana looks nervous. Max looks frisky.

Doc Evil is asking Andres where in the heck is Diana. Andres says he's been trying to reach her by phone without success. Neither of them is happy at the moment and they are vowing to pay Diana back for making fools of them.

Queue the boat with Diana as a hood ornament in her bikini. Max all smiles. Diana all smiles. Lots of sappy music playing in the background (namely Max and Diana's theme song). Laughter. More smiles. Looks of love. Etc.

The fight between mother and daughter continues in Peyote's room. Octave is wearing an extremely low-cut tight top. One sleeve is sort of capped and the other side is a spaghetti strap. Octave calls her daughter a tramp. Peyote calls her mom a wearisome control freak. Octave starts going through Peyote's drawers, pulling out clothing and basically evicting her daughter from the Irascible mansion. As garments are flying, out pops a bag of suspicious white powder. Peyote is impactada and grabs the baggie. More screaming as Octave figures out Peyote is a slut AND a druggie. Yolanda and Larry run in.

Larry is wearing some tight fitting yellow shirt with some sort of yellow filigree across his chest. I prefer his black jacket.

Larry is asking Mom and Sis if they are STILL fighting. I wonder what gave them away. Peyote tells everyone to get the flock out of her room and just leave her in peace. Larry carries out the raving Octave. Yolanda asks Peyote if it's true about the drugs. We then have a Public Service Announcement about the evils of drugs. Yolanda and Peyote exchange "I love you's." Peyote's makeup runs.

RM is sitting in the bed thinking about her evil twin Debora and how Debora will never let Marfil back into the mansion. Isabel walks in saying she was at the bank. RM asks if the money was still there. Isabel says the bank confirmed it. I guess their bank in Miami doesn't have to comply with privacy laws. At any rate, the deal is struck. Isabel will help Marfil walk again, with Isabel promising to not say a word about her therapy to Bruno and especially that "witch" of a sister. Thunder rumbles in the background and lightning flashes! "I will take it to the grave," says the soon-to-be-rich Isabel.

Back to sunny weather on the boat. Max wants to make a toast. Diana tells him she doesn't drink. "Don't worry," says Max. "It's only fruit juice." D—"What are we toasting to?" M—"That we talking, the weather is beautiful, the weather people were wrong, you look hot in that bikini, we're alone, this episode is almost over, we're together, and I love you. We're also toasting because I'm getting divorced." D—"What? You're getting a divorce because of me?" M—"No Diana, I'm doing it for me." He takes both their drinks and sets them down. So much for the toast—no one even took a sip! Sappy love theme is playing in the background. Max tells Diana he doesn't love Marfil. He's not happy. He can't stop thinking about Diana. He wants to kiss her. Diana with her usual half-hearted argument. Max finally swoops in for the kill. Passionate tonsil swabbing and not a Camila or Marfil in sight! The love theme continues.

After too long a period the credits FINALLY roll.
