Caray, Caray!

The meeting between Alejandro and Miranda is worthless. He tells her that if she asks he will go forever. She acts upset and asks him why are you giving me an ultimatum? He tells her he has the right to be heard. She doesn’t hear him and they part both crying.

Bertha implants herself on the couch in Francisco and Amparo's house. She tells the family that they can count on her. The family welcomes her in saying they not only open their doors but they open the doors to their hearts. Bertha claims that she is touched and wants to be considered part of the family. Roman questions Bertha about why she never married since she is so pretty and quite the lady. Bertha laughs at his question saying she won't marry. Bertha asks to have a moment with Renata.

Barely three steps from the rest of the family, Bertha exclaims her shock that Renata is living and sleeping in a place like this. Renata replies she likes it, so Tia unmask yourself and tell me why you really came. Bertha says she wants Renata to help her because everyone is ganging up on her. She claims she is not an assassin. Everything she has ever done has been for the girls. Renata has a green flashback to Bertha claiming that she was securing an inherited piece of property for Renata. Renata looks like she is putting things together in her mind. Renata asks what Bertha plans on doing with Juan’s family. Bertha replies that she only wants Renata to not live like a beggar (pordiosera). Bertha goes on a long tirade about how she lives in luxury, but it’s hard, knowing how Renata is living. The women hug with Bertha looking freaked out that she might be loosing Renata, while Renata looks as if she is figuring things out.

There is a brief scene with Julio and Cesar in a restaurant. Angel arrives to tell them that he believes that Danielito has told Gonzalo everything. Julio wants to know what everything. Angel goes on to explain what they said during Miranda’s wedding. Julio tells Angel to call Daniel immediately while Cesar slithers off.

Fernanda and Flor discuss how Juan became a guard dog when Bertha came to visit. Juan comes into the hospital room and tells the women that he has made a wild guess that Bertha is suffering from a wicked psychological structure. Juan gets a call from Renata who tells him she is going to go out with Amparito, Erika and Bertha. Juan looks impactado.

Miranda gives Pamela a few more words of advice. They discuss Fermin Padilla and his safety and kindness. Miranda says she intends to ask Fermin for a loan. Pam leaves and Miranda finally remembers the envelope that Flor had told her to get. She talks to herself about whether she should open it because the contents have to belong to Alejandro’s father. She vacillates and wisely decides to wait, stuffing the envelope under her pillow. The safest place in the world to hide and important item.

Fab brings Flor some chocolate, the only thing that she wants to eat. Fab re-warns Juan saying Bertha is a wolf in lambs clothing (lobo con piel de cordero). Juan states that Bertha better not mess with his family.

Alejandro and Luciano go to Padilla’s office. They want to make sure that the money they transferred from Al’s accounts are safe in Lucianos’ accounts, and that the accounts haven’t been frozen. They haven’t.

Miranda goes to see Florencia, but Flor is asleep. Fab is there and he fills Miranda in on what has been happening with Juan and Bertha. He explains that Flor doesn’t want to have contact with Bertha anymore. Cesar arrives and is barely there a second before he goes off with Miranda to talk. Fab talks to himself after they leave saying he doesn’t know if he should trust his brother or not.

Fernanda goes home and see the flowers that Renata brought her. She knows the flowers came from Renata and feels strengthened that she has her daughter back. She talks to herself daring Bertha to do something against her now.

Roman and Francisco are alone talking over whether to trust Bertha or not. Roman advises to not trust her. Fernanda arrives. Roman asks her if she knows that Bertha has an illegitimate daughter. Fern states that Bertha can’t have kids so she can’t have a daughter. Roman tells her that he will take her to talk with the monastery where he found Nuria's papers.

Padilla fills Alejandro and Luciano in on what is going on with Pamela’s family. Fermin tells the men that el tipo Magnate is to blame for what is happening. Al tells the men that they have to go check on Pamela immediately.

Andrea answers her front door to find three men. The men tell her Hi! Remember us? You were supposed to give us the book with the numbers. Andrea faints.

Cesar tells Miranda that Daniel lied to her and that they are really brothers. Cesar goes on to say the whole world lies, even Alejandro. He then starts in on his old story of how he loves her, always has. She rolls her eyes. He unexpectantly grabs her throat and starts to French kiss her, bending her backward as he does. Just at that moment Lisania arrives asking Am I interrupting you?!

Commercial break that opens back to Lisania confronting Cesar and Miranda. Lisania tells Miranda how great that you promised fidelity to my brother Miranda. I am gong to tell him everything. Miranda is frozen like a deer caught in headlights. Cesar gives Lisania a death look and tells Miranda that what Lisania said has no importance. Right Lisania? Lisania caught in his death ray agrees with him. Miranda grabs her purse and flees. Cesar grabs Lisania's arm and sits her down. He asks her to explain what she is doing there. Lisania is there to meet Fernanda, she hasn’t been feeling well. Cesar momentarily freaks that he might have fathered another child, but Lisania thinks not. She has dizziness after exercising. Cesar tells her to stop exercising so much then and begins to scold her for not making steps towards repairing her relationship with Daira. They kiss.

The fake agents have Andrea revived and sitting on her couch. The main agent reminds her that he asked her for the book with numbers many years ago. Well why didn’t she give it to him! He taunts her that before they were two but now they are three. She better get back their money and give them all of Leonardo’s documents. Two of the men sandwich Andrea and kiss on her while she screams. They leave and she falls to the couch hysterical.

Florencia tells Miranda, who obviously has recovered unaffected from her run in with Lisania and Cesar, to give Fern an opportunity. Miranda thinks to herself that Flor wouldn’t be telling her this if she knew she was sisters with Alejandro. She tells Flor she will do what she can. Flor wants Miranda to convince Renata to like Fern too. Flor tells Miranda to OPEN the darn envelope alright already! Miranda tells Flor they are going to unmask Bertha.

Al, Luciano and Fermin arrive at Pamela’s. Andrea is babbling that the bad agents want to violate Pamela just like they did to her many years ago. Pamela arrives as does the fake Leonardo, El Magnate. They all ask who are you to El Magnate. Al threaten to call the cops. El Magnate goes into a story of how he was cellmates with Leonardo for many years. They looked alike and were thought to be twins. They became close friends and Leonardo told him all about his family. He saw Leonardo die and couldn’t do anything about it. After many years of hearing about Leonardo’s family, and since he had Leonardo’s diary he decided to do something to help. The money in the account he wanted Andrea and Pam to have because Leonardo wanted them to have it to make up for his abuse of Andrea. Leonardo really loved her, and El Magnate cares for them too.

Fernanda, Francisco and Roman go to talk with the Mother Superior who ran the school/orphanage where Nuria grew up. The Mother shows them Nuria’s paperwork but they want more info. The Mother claims this is all she has. The Mother walks away to talk with another nun. This nun claims that the third grade girls are tired of kneeling for two hours saying the rosary without being able to move. The Mother says well they need to learn discipline so no food for them today! Tell the sixth graders to get the hose ready to give the third graders cold baths. The women talk about Nuria and Bertha. They relish in the memories of the punishments that Bertha would tell them to do to Nuria. They decide to call Bertha to see what is going on, what with all these people asking about Nuria.

Amparo, Erika, Renata and Bertha arrive from shopping. Bertha has bought them all tons of gifts and clothes. Bertha claims she has to leave to prepare a surprise for the family. Renata pulls Bertha aside and asks (after the fact) why did Bertha do all of this. Bertha claims it is because she adores her. Bertha then sidles up to Amparo to tell Amparo in an icky sweet voice to not wear her fine new clothes while selling tacos. Instead she should save the clothes for a special occasion. She is sure Amparo will know when is the right time to wear them. After Bertha leaves Renata claims that Bertha is always like this. Erika expresses a little doubt but not much. They have been bought.

El Magnate goes on to say he did all of this to help them. He hands over to Andrea a diary that belonged to Leonardo that has all the movements, names and numbers to the corrupt agents. This is about arms and drug trafficking.

Miranda tells Flor to keep fighting for her health. Flor goes to sleep and Miranda talks to herself that she is envious of Flor for being pregnant. Miranda would love to be pregnant.

Pam tells El Magnate that she has lived all her life without money and in peace versus what he has brought to her life. El Magnate claims he just wanted to help. Al and Pamela commend him for doing such a noble act. They want him to save himself. He claims that he cant, the bad guys know who he is. Al tells him to take his private plane and escape while they go to the cops. Al then asks Fermin Padilla to check what accounts are connected to the account that Magnate drained. Al wants to know what businesses are involved. Fermin says it’s complicated but not impossible.

Nuria calls Luis Alberto crying. She tells him that Cesar knows how to hurt her. Cesar asked her to move to his place, she did bringing all her stuff. Now Cesar wants her to move back to her old place. Wha! Boo Hoo! Luis Alberto tells her to come and live with him. She can’t. Besides she is pregnant. She then tells Luis Alberto that Cesar told her she is the illegitimate daughter of Bertha de Aragon.

Renata fills Erika in on Veronicas blackmailing attempts of Fab. Erika claims she knew all along but didn’t say anything because Veronica would threaten her. Renata wants to confess something important to Erika but wants no one else to know. Fernanda is her mother.

Gabriel and Nicolas go to see Demian and Regina tells them that Demian is ill, in bed and sedated. G&N go and see Demian lying in bed asleep.

In a nice dialog-free sequence, Leo, MA and the other cabbies drive around trying to find Luisito.

Luisito tries to keep up his spirits by telling himself that his father would want him to be strong.

Paulina is told that the doctor who is going to operate on Luisito is leaving Mexico immediately thereafter so that if the kid misses the scheduled surgery, he will be on his crutches for the near future. [What, the kid can’t get on a plane and go where this hot-shot doctor works?]

Gabriel tells Nicolas that seeing Demian so ill was painful for him in spite of all the evil things that Demian has done.

MA, Leo and his buddies report their failure to find any trace of Luisitio in the neighborhood. Up on the balcony, Coyote listens to see if they have made any progress. A kid who saw Luisito get snatched by the man who made balloon aninals, says that he wouldn’t be able to recognize the man because his face was painted white like a clown.

Gabriel goes into Joselyn’s room where she is lying down [with all her makeup on]. She asks if there is news and Gabriel says, no. Josleyn blames MA and is angry when Gabriel defends her.

When Gabriel has left, Jos calls Didier and makes threats.

MA sits at a table remembering when she promised Luisito that she would never abandon him. She tells herself that she has failed and asks Luisito’s forgiveness.

Regina tells Tiberio that Demian is still sleeping from the tranquillizers he was given and that what happened was not Tiberio’s fault. Tiberio goes to see the sleeping Demian. Tiberio says to himself that it would be so easy to kill Demian now as he sleeps. He could suffocate him with a pillow and everyone would think Demian died in his sleep. Tiberio hold a pillow, approaches Demian… At the last moment, Regina comes into the room, sees Tiberio with a pillow but he is using it to prop up Demian.

Gabriel kneels in church sobbing helplessly and asks God, ‘why my son?’ Priest #1 comes and asks if Gabriel wants to talk with him. Gabriel says that he does want to talk; he can’t take any more. The priest urges him to tell him everything. Gabriel says that he got married (civil ceremony) and at first everything was fine, then there was the accident and his marriage turned into a living hell. The priest says helpfully that however bad things are now, there is always light at the end of the tunnel. Gabriel goes on to tell the priest that his wife is emotionally unstable and jealous. He doubts that she loves him or ever did. And now, to lose his son; it’s too much. He doesn’t know if he is alive or dead. The priest assures Gabriel that everything will turn out ok.

Now that Delores has taken off her habit, she can’t find a job. She could be a seamstress or a nurse but she’ll take whatever she can. Delores thinks that Regina might help her. She is a good woman and a mother.

Federico tells Miriam that Otilia thinks that Miriam tried to run her down with a car and furthermore, when he was with her, someone did try and run her down when she was crossing the street. Miriam says that Otilia is crazy and that instead of worrying about a crazy person, Federico should worry about his grandson, Luisito, who is missing. Federico didn’t know about this. Miriam suggests that Federico go and be mean to MA, who was responsible for losing the child.

Once again, Rogelio runs into Tiberio in the lobby of Demian’s company and once again he taunts him for being a nobody that Demian has taken in for pity and that soon his place in Demian’s confidence will be taken by JC.

Federico comes to see Joselyn but she has taken to her bed. Clemente is there and thanks him for being such a good friend to the family. Clemente says that he is destroyed because Luisito is HIS grandchild, the son of HIS daughter. Federico looks guilty.

Gabriel runs into MA in the church.

Coyote brings Luisito food and yells at him to eat. Meanwhile, one of the denizens of the courtyard of Candelaria’s place [I don’t know her name] remembers that she was supposed to take food to an old lady, Dona Tomi, who lives in the ‘tower.’ She brings the food and the old lady says, ‘Did you hear any noise upstairs?’ ‘No,’ says the food bringer. ‘I didn’t hear any noise in the abandoned rooms in the attic.’ ‘Well,’ says the old lady, ‘I heard noise there all night.’ The penny doesn’t drop on the food bringer.

Meanwhile, plucky little Luisito says that he has to try and escape from the room where he is being held. He crawls out of his room and finds a crutch in the outer room. He tries to use it but he falls and makes noise that the old lady and the food-bringer downstairs hear.

Coyote catches the kid who then screams for help. The food bringer hears a child’s voice. You see the wheels in her brain turning so slowly – a child’s voice coming from a supposedly empty attic. What could it mean????? Finally, the food bringer figures it out. She runs and tells MA and Gabriel that she has heard a child upstairs. They burst in on Coyote who is threatening Luisito with a knife. Holding the kid as a hostage, Coyote tries to escape. There is much running about with the kid screaming while Coyote, who is in a werewolf mask, yells, ‘Shut up!’ Coyote manages to cut MA with his knife. Gabriel chases him up onto the roof. Coyote dangles Luisito, still screaming his head off, over the side of the building while a bunch of useless types watch from below. The episode ends as Coyote lets or appears to let the kid fall.

But first, non-sequitur, does everyone experience this new format of the show beginning and then all of a sudden the televisa symbol breaking in and the opening credits following at a seemingly non-sensical point? Maybe they are now trying to follow the way US TV has started shows for a while….. but it’s not seeming terribly well executed…..I liked it the way it was….that being said….


We continue with Yuri & Mijares talking to Fern about Lety like parents trying to convince their child that he’s tired and needs to go to bed. “So who are you to her anyway?” Fern starts to say he’s “her boyf…um… her… I don’t know what you are getting at.” “It’s obvious you are in love with her, all the virtues you mentioned about Lety are the attributes one looks for in the person one loves.” Mijares agrees that’s called love. Fern is in childish disbelief, and his attempts to refer to the pair informally are rejected, so he adjusts to extreme formal address and tells them they are wrong and that he has to go because he has to find Lety…because he needs to discuss some things with her. After he leaves, Yuri says poor Fe’s going to be surprised when he finally recognizes his true feelings; that man is head over heels in love.

Alicia shows up to Fernando claiming her mission completed as she has the numbers for all the dancers….she dances around on the stage area and asks if she could be part of the show for Fernando sometime, he is distracted trying to find Lety and says yes, yes, yes, to try and shut her up, but she takes him at his word and he realizes he wasn’t paying attention to what she really wanted then he said no way! Alicia wants to know what to do with the numbers. He gets angry, don’t you realize I’m looking for Lety! Have you seen her? Alicia says she did, so he ordered her to go find her and tell her he needs her and is waiting for her. She’s off. Tomas bumps into Alicia…she screams “Stupid! Imbecile! Idiot! Nuisance!” He got her right in the chiche! Too bad he didn’t pop it. He realizes it’s his lust interest and runs after her calling “Big mama!” “Hey here’s your [nuisance?], I mean to say your “Big Daddy!” but he’s right over other people who wonder what the hell he’s talking about…he brushes it off that he’s talking to himself…still not acceptable, really….

Lety is seen calling her Dad to let him know she’s with Tomas…I must admit I was sort of glad we only got her side of the conversation. It was nice to get a break from Robopop’s dramatics for a show.

And now for today’s guest celebrity….Anais is lost and seeks some help from Lety to find Luigi. Alicia runs up at the same time to tell her Fe is looking for her, go see what he wants. Lety says tough tell him to wait, I’m occupied. Alicia calls her rude and tells her maybe it’s better that she stays here and Alicia takes care of him because of her “shabby dress” that she shouldn’t dare get near to Fernando because of the shame it would cause him and Conceptos, that an executive that thinks they are so important would come dressed this way, but she guesses that is the most they could ask of her because that probably is one of her most elegant outfits; her cocktail and party dress…fine stay here then. Alicia, now finished with her insults, realizes who Anais is and tells her she’s a huge fan and that Luigi sent her to find her, that she’ll take her to him. Anais, not unaware of Alicia’s unpleasantry declines to follow her and will see Luigi later and declines to sit with Alicia during the show. She and Lety bond and Lety apologizes for Alicia’s rudeness…Anais goes with Lety.


The show begins…Yuri announced that the money raised goes to help her countrymen in Veracruz to build a marketplace to showcase their traditional artwork and make it available to sell to the whole world and to carry on the traditions to the next generation. Mijares and Yuri sing their lounge song while the dancers strut their stuff…squeezed into the small stage space trying not to step on each other and the stars. I found them very distracting and adding nothing to the performance. Don Fe smiles silly, Alicia sits down and lets him know she found Lety but she said she is occupied. Alicia tells him Anais is with her.

We flash briefly to Lola who suddenly found her cajones and is now pounding and yelling for Cheque to open his door. She screams but he’s not answering.


Lety explains her outfit to Anais in that she usually doesn’t come to such events and that she’s not used to dressing in high fashion like the rest of the firm because she just handles the finances. Anais, in what’s becoming a tradition of beautiful women taking pity on Lety and consoling her, and confiding their horror stories in her, confesses she also had a problem with clothes when she began her career and she tells a story about wearing a red dress and five inch heels to her first casting call because she wanted to be taller, but she wasn’t being herself and apparently that came across to the directors so she decided to take the shoes off during the audition. [I didn't think that was quite the same as Lety's issue, but what the heck, the chick is trying to be nice.]The directors were impressed that she did that in front of them so thought that she could surely handle conducting the television show and that’s how her TV career began.
Lety thought that must be when Anais hired a designer to help her with her wardrobes but Anais says no, she looked for “un Hada Madrina” those of you with captions can confirm that’s the proper term, but if so, she looked for a fairy godmother, someone who always knew more than she did and could show her how to do things. She goes on essentially about how Lety needs to start with what’s inside and that she’s a light that is unlit, that she’s in the shadows. Lety complains that “they” put out my light. But Anais doesn’t give in to that and essentially says she needs to relight it and shine on everyone, and that it depends on her. She later says that it’s easy to buy clothes for the outside, but first you have to change yourself inside and that’s what matters.

Anais sees Lety looking out for her “boyfriend” and tells her she wants to meet Tomas. So Lety takes her to sit down at their table. Yuri comes on without Mijares and “relights” Lety. Yuri’s now wearing a black and white fluffy dress that looks like it’s made from pieces of jail striped jump suits, there are men that look like clowns dancing around in the background… Why is everyone worried about Lety’s clothes? I think hers are ten times better than this get up!



Cheque shows up outside the building with Yasmin and they are flirting and acting lovey dovey (yuk)… “let’s go to a disco”…Lola sees this and as quickly as she found, she now loses, her cajones and can’t confront him and instead starts crying. PM tries to console her and utters some fantastic insults about tarantulas and they end up trying to leave without accomplishing their goal.

Lety sits with Tomas and Anais and Lety waits for the proper moment to introduce them. Tomas is overexcited about the dancers and can’t believe they are real. Lety is a bit perturbed as he is not acting like a boyfriend, meanwhile more song from Yuri and lots of hair flipping….Anais tells her not too worry about the eye candy that she’s the real love or something and she says yeah that’s what they made me think and she puts a sad look. Tomas claps away with excessive enthusiasm at the end of the act. I guess you can dress him up but you still can’t take him anywhere.

Saimon is with his mariachis and flowers waiting to sing to PM Novia mia, no wait.. la Gloria eres tu…no….he starts to sing a third….no…he consults with Celso about which one he should pick, what does PM like…Celso says, well she likes salsa, Saimon says oh come on, how can we do salsa???

Back in the first outfits, Yuri & Mijares sing another song together…. But the dancers are in different clothing…hmmm…. [I liked this song the best] Lety appears with a sour look again..Anais asks her what she was talking about "them making her think", and she says it’s nothing.

Tomas proclaims that the dancers are angelic, glorious, that he has to touch them. Finally Lety introduces him to Anais and in his best radio voice he tells her he enjoys meeting her and he calls his Mom to tell her he’s talking to Anais…how sweet. Anais talks to his Mom, [even sweeter] and she passes out from excitement and they think she may have hung up.

Saimon is still deciding what is the perfect song to sing…the mariachis are getting mad and Celso is asleep…he finally decides on La Gloria…..these mariachis are quite good, if Saimon would let them sing….

Luigi gets thanked on stage for his contribution to the event, Anais is acknowledged in the crowd.. Tomas stands up and Fern sees them and doesn’t recognize T because he’s so hot!!! Except for that laugh….and those kazoos that keep following him.

Luigi runs over to Anais who tells him she was well accompanied by Lety and he takes the opportunity to make another fea Lety crack …she wants to say good bye to Don Fe but then maybe not…

Saimon is singing again…Celso still sleeps….he doesn’t quite know the words….He cries for PM turn on the light!!!!! Turn on the Light!!!!He throws down the flowers he‘s carrying in disgust but with a smile.


Lety asks T to get ready to go, but Tomas wants to stay awhile to talk to the dancers…he is actually getting some positive looks from them.

Lety starts to go towards Fern. Meanwhile A & F argue about him having to go, she wonders why and he claims that they both have to work tomorrow at the break of dawn and he questions whether she’s going to follow him under orders from Marcia, she says no she wouldn’t dare follow him. Fe says besides he’s going to take Lety home, and she can follow him if she wants. Alicia tells him he should go with a dancer. He has no patience.

Fe wants to know why she disappeared and what is going on …Lety springs it on him…Tomas came for her…..she’s leaving now. He forcefully grabs her arms and she pulls away mentioning that are people around. He asks if she forgot that they were supposed to spend the night together and that she made him a promise…..she says oh sorry I forgot I agreed to have dinner with Tomas so I’m sorry I won’t be able to stay. He says no you can’t go to dinner with him you promised to spend time with me. She firmly refuses again. He gets mad, [I guess he’s not used to not getting his way with her] and he tries to grab her again even harder and she says again how many people there are around. He doesn’t care about the people he wants to know what is wrong. He uses her full first name and orders her to stay. She says that we’re not in the office and she’s sorry but she has to go now, he says no you are staying and you are coming with me and he drags her away with him.

Saimon decides La Gloria didn’t work so he’ll try the first one Novia Mia again….some poor guy let him use the violin…note I didn’t say play…if I heard that I wouldn’t come out either…the lights are still out…what about the rest of the residents of that building? Haven’t they had enough yet? Saimon is upset, Celso says maybe she’s not home….S thinks maybe she’s out with someone else, no this can’t be, he starts screaming that he’s dying of jealousness, he’s dying of jealousness, he’s dying of jealousness….the musicians scream “we don’t know it!!!!” Pa rum pum pum….


Fern is giving Lety Marcia’s brand of usual questioning about what is wrong with her. Now she plays dumb. He says he’s treated her so well tonight, and she’s treated him so badly. CAN YOU BELIEVE IT! Now is a good time to find Julie’s link to the You Tube Lety punch out Fern video and watch it at least five times.... He continues reminding her she made him a promise to stay with him too and now she’s telling him she’s going with Mora. He asks her which is more important. He tells her it’s always more important to him to go out with her. She mocks him disbelievingly.


Yuri shows up with the “show” in tow asking how they liked it. Fernando fumbles but in good salesman style recovers with something meaningless. Yuri asks if they are ready for the cocktails! Lety congratulates them and takes advantage of the crowd factor to escape Fe’s clutches. Fern gets mad and watches as she departs. He decides he also has to leave even though the dancers and Yuri beg him hard to stay for drinks. Lety also bumbs into Alicia on the way out… bruta!

Lety goes back out and doesn’t see Tomas, but they are still interviewing Anais and Alicia interrupts saying she can tell the reporter how fame is…to that the reporter cuts and walks away. Thank goodness someone finally cut her off right at the beginning of one of her estupidezes.

Saimon is crying because PM didn’t respond to the serenata…the musicians sympathise but remind him that even though she didn’t come out that they still need to be paid, oh yeah and please, a tip too, huh? Saimon says of course. They depart and wake Celso up to come with them.


Tomas walks into the dressing room then starts faking a conversation with his chaffeur again in his best radio voice, ok this earns a look from the dancers, finally. He is looking for Lety and Luigi says unfortunately they saw her several times.

We then cut to Saimon crying in the parking lot when PM and Lola show up finally in a taxi… Saimon starts screaming that the two of them were out partying!!! He grabs PM and says he can’t believe it and Lola runs off crying while PM is impactada at Simon’s disposition.

Honor your ancestors....Feliz Dias de los Muertos! This year many loved ones moved on from our world and I hope I will be comforted by their spirits in Lety's absence tonight. May you also reflect fondly on your departed.

Hope this holds you all until Friday….we’ll await the implementation of the revenge until then. Enjoy the grammys!

* Demian is desperately trying to find Regina - he yells at Simona to tell him where Regina went. Simona doesn't know/won't say - he smashes the decorations on the table and starts to pound his head on the furniture - angry and jealous and starts thinking she is with Gabriel, his enemy and brother. He starts to turn violent and starts choking Simona to tell him he's right - Belen enters to help Simona - Demian lets go of Simona, he is out of control, he starts up the stairs - he sits and wraps his arm around the middle banisters and hits his head on the metal, yelling out his jealous rage.

Gabriel is upset and leaves the room.

* Gabriel is sitting alone in his office, crying. Nicolas enters. Gabriel thinks maybe Jossie is right, he is to blame. Nicolas advises that he shouldn't blame himself but the people who are the really culprits. Nicolas says that justice will be served to those ultimately responsible (video shows Demian in bed with head wound).

* JC and Regina arrive back at their home. Simona and Belen explain briefly what happened with Demian while they were away and that he is in bed now. Regina says they can go to bed now.

As he is about to leave, he asks if there's anything else he can do. She asks about Gabriel and MA. He tells her the truth. She sits up in bed and angrily grits her teeth and tells him that MA is no longer welcome in the house; she is never to return there again. He leaves.

* Leo, Sylvester, Shorty, Mayeya, MA and the other taxi drivers gather around Leo and the map. They are going to search again for Luisito. Leo tries to get MA to return home but she wants to go search with them. They all head out. Coyote stands on the corner and smiles and watches as all the taxis leave.

* Gabriel and Nicolas meet in Gabriel's home office. Gabriel is still upset over the kidnapping. Nicolas tells Gabriel he suspects Demian could be behind it. Gabriel jumps up and wants to call Demian right away - Nicolas advises not to call.

The good thing about all these flashbacks is that we can see that Lety really is evolving. She’s not as loud and her acne is considerably cleared.

On to the show!
Lety and Fernando lean in for a kiss. Lety pulls away at the last minute. She uses the excuse that she doesn’t want Celso to see them. Fernando remembers the same memory that Lety had earlier about their first time leaving in his car together. It was in the exact same place! She tells him that was from a past life. Yes, he says. They drive to the event. Lety slips in an evil look.

Fernando and Lety walk into the Yuri event. Fernando asks Lety if she has their tickets. They run into Yuri who welcomes them personally. Fernando dances and sings. He introduces himself. She thanks him. Luigi has been a huge help with the show! Fernando agrees that Luigi is very creative. She asks him to introduce her to Lety. Lety tries to talk, but can only tell Yuri that she admires her a whole, whole lot. Yuri asks Fernando about his upcoming wedding. Lety leans in. Fernando tells her that Marcia is in Germany but she’s returning tomorrow. Lety makes a joke that Fernando is making the most of his last free night because the party is over tomorrow. Fernando realizes that he left does not have his cell phone. Lety tells him he left it in his car. He says that Marcia will kill him if he doesn’t answer it. Lety goes for the phone and says that she doesn’t want a dead president, at least not today. Fernando tells Yuri that Lety is his “right hand man.” Yuri thanks Fernando again for his support and tells him that all of the tickets have sold. She tells him that she needs to check on the dancers. He enthusiastically asks if he can accompany her to see the dancers. He wants to talk to Luigi. Yuri tells the door girl to show Lety where she and Fernando went. Fernando shivers when Yuri touches his hand. Lety enters and is told where to find Fernando.

Saimon and PM arrive at Lola’s house. She stalks off. Saimon chases her and asks for a kiss. She won’t give it up and says that she’s really mad at him. He wants her to look at him and tells her that he has a surprise for her. She doesn’t believe him. He’s excited because she’s jealous. PM immediately changes her tune and tells him to go wherever he wants. Saimon can’t get over the fact that she’s jealous.

Alicia stands at the entrance of the event, but cannot find her invitation. She tells the girls at the door that she lost her invitation but she received a personal invitation from Yuri. They say she cannot go in without an invitation. She replies that they don’t know who they’re talking to - Fernando Mendiola’s personal assistant. Two men walk in. She calls the one Alberto and says that she has been waiting for him. He says he is not Alberto. She says that she’s not his woman. She asks him to help her, because she is a divorced woman. She lost her invitation and cannot enter. He smiles and holds out his arm and tells her to come with him. She thanks him and walks into the event.

Yuri introduces Fernando to the dancers. Apparently he has quite a reputation; they flock to him like lemmings over a cliff. Luigi shoos them away. Fernando starts to follow the dancers but Luigi pulls Fernando away from them. Yuri tells Fernando about the dance they’re going to do. Fernando jokes with Yuri and the dancers. Yuri tells Fernando how good the dancers are. They have participated in all kinds of events. He gives them a “ten.” He tells them that Conceptos is nominated for Cannes and are planning a celebration. Fernando asks the dancers if they want to participate. The girls giggle and tell Fernando that they love working with Luigi. Luigi says that the girls need to get ready, but first he has an announcement. Fernando’s getting married. Fernando tries a play on words about doing something with lions. Fernando says that he’s going to contract them for the celebration. Lety walks in just as the girls break into singing the wedding march. Lety’s face falls.

Back at Lola’s PM asks Jaimito if he’s talked to Saimon. No, but he would like to ride on his moto. PM says its too late to call him. The kids ask why Saimon did not come home with PM. She tries to explain but fortunately Lola enters. Lola’s daughter has dinner ready. She goes to get it with Jaimito. PM and Lola vent about El Cheque.

The dancers have stopped singing. Fernando teases the girls about their joke. He tells them that he’s not getting married. Look at all the beautiful women! Luigi asks Fernando to do them all a favor and get married. It would be a relief for all women. Marcia’s willing to make the sacrifice. The poor thing cries a lot. She’s saving a lot of “victims.” He continues his tirade and then screams when he sees Lety. He asks her why she’s here. She says that she brought Fernando’s phone. Luigi tells Lety that she does not fit in with all the beauty. The girls laugh at his jokes. Fernando half-heartedly chastises Luigi. Yuri mercifully ends the jokes. Lety hands Fernando his phone and says that Marcia has not called. Fernando re-introduces Lety and tells Yuri that his assistant is very efficient. Yuri scrunches her face

PM complains to Lola about Saimon. Lola stands up for Saimon. PM recounts that he and Saimon were planning something when they were talking on the phone. Lola agrees that he was acting strange, but they won’t be able to confirm anything. Neither Celso nor Saimon will tell them what happened. The kids run into the room.

Lety asks Lety if she can have a moment. Yuri crosses herself and leaves with Lety. Lety asks Yuri for a favor. She asks Yuri if she can let Tomas Mora into the event even though he does not have an invitation. He’s Lety’s boyfriend and manager of Filmo Imagen. Yuri tells Lety that it will be no problem. Lety asks Yuri not to saying anything to Fernando, because he’s kind of a tyrant and doesn’t want her to be with anyone else. Yuri agrees and says she won’t say anything except to the girls at the reception desk.

Fernando pulls Yuri into the room and asks what Lety said to her. Yuri tells him that it was just woman stuff and he shouldn’t be so curious. She talks about the dancers participating in the Cannes celebration. Fernando still wants to know what Lety said. “Woman stuff!” she exclaims. Yuri asks the dancers if they like Fernando’s idea. Fernando asks Yuri again what Lety said to her.

Alicia gets a number from the man who helped her enter the event. He’s the general manager of a company. She thinks he should take her out to dinner. She tells him that she works for the presidency of Conceptos. She lies and says she forgot her cards but they can look her up in the directory and call her to go out to dinner. They both have wives. Alicia says she has a beautiful friend who can go out with them so that they’ll make a party of four. She calls Lety over to the table. The men take off the instant they see her. Lety demands to know why Alicia’s here. She asks Lety where Fernando is and what’s wrong with Lety. She tells Alicia that of course Fernando is with the dancers. The men return and laugh at Alicia in the background. Alicia gets up and goes off to find her millionaire.

OH MY GOD! Tomas enters the event. He looks normal (too bad he doesn’t sound normal). He asks for Lety, and tells the receptionists that he doesn’t have an invitation. They start to apologize but Lety sees him and runs over. She reminds them that Yuri said it was okay for him to enter. Before he goes in, Tomas gives his card to the girl at the door. Lety reminds him that he’s not acting like a boyfriend. She’s nervous because Alicia is here. Tomas is a little less unhappy than Lety.

Fernando and Yuri continue to talk about the Cannes celebration. Luigi makes fun of Fernando for flirting too much. He tells Yuri that an office filled with the girls would be enchanting for him. One of the girls say they need to know dates and times. Another asks for Fernando to call them and if he wants their phone numbers. Alicia peeks into the room. Fernando pardons himself. They can leave their numbers with his secretary. Luigi asks Yuri if Manuel Mijares has come. He’s here, she tells him. Luigi really wants to see him.

Fernando stands outside and sees Alicia talking to some people. He calls her over to him. He sarcastically tells her she can come to the office tomorrow to be fired. Alicia says she’s paid to entrance to the event. How could you if you don’t have any money? He accuses her of spying on him with the dancers for Marcia. Alicia, not so convincingly, protests. Fernando makes fun of Alicia’s hair. It looks like she’s imitating Lola’s style. Alicia says that she came to talk with Luigi and casually saw him talking with the dancers. Fernando asks Alicia to come with him. He’s going to give her a job that she loves. They go into the dancer’s room. Alicia prances. He introduces her to the dancers. Alicia runs over to Yuri who runs out of the room. He asks Alicia to take down the phone numbers and names of all the dancers for the Cannes’ party. Fernando accuses her of spying on him in front of all the dancers. He orders her again to take down the phone numbers. He tells the dancers that he needs names, numbers and full-length photographs.

Lola insists PM stop worrying about Saimon. Lola needs to tranquilly suffer. PM says that Lola’s problem is the same as that of PM. They complain some more about their men. Lola stabs a lemon. PM mentions that Lola says that she’s going to do all this stuff to Efren, but never does. PM thinks it’s time that Lola takes some action. Lola asks PM to go with her.

Alicia asks Irmita for a pen. She tries to demand that Irmita take down the numbers, but Irmita says she has to go to the bathroom and leaves. Alicia announces that she’s not Fernando’s secretary and that she took six semesters of Finance at a prestigious university. Plus, she’s going to become a dancer. Luigi tells Alicia that she needs to take the names and numbers and then needs to leave because the dancers have to finish getting ready. Alicia hands them the paper and pen and tells them to write everything down themselves. Luigi tells Alicia that he’s waiting on Ananais Linares, a famous television announcer. Alicia gasps.

Celso sleeps at the reception desk. Saimon enters with a bunch of roses. He wants to know when its time to go to PM. Saimon tells Celso to let the Mariachi know that they’re leaving.

Lety and Tomas sit in the concert area. She tells Tomas her plan is to make Fernando jealous. Tomas and Lety go over the whole Fernando “situation.” Tomas pulls out his photo of Alicia and gives it kisses. That’s the type of woman he likes. He tells Lety that he is Lety’s friend and that’s why he’s there. He’ll do whatever she needs. Tomas asks if Lety told Erasmo where she is. Nope, she forgot. Tomas tells Lety to use the public phone because the cell phone is expensive. Lety walks past the crowd.

Fernando stands in a reception area asking himself where Lety went. He hears some photographers yelling. Fernando asks everyone what’s going on. He lectures the photographers for not having respect for the artist. The security guy thanks him for his support. He allows Fernando to go into the room. Manuel Mijares says hello. The men asks who he represents. Fernando says he doesn’t represent anyone; he’s not here for an interview. Fernando cannot believe he is talking to Lucero’s husband. Yuri enters and says she didn’t know Fernando knew Mijares. Fernando explains that he was confused for a reporter. Yuri introduces Fernando who says he’s looking for Lety. Mijares asks him who Lety is. Fernando explains that she’s his assistant. Yuri pulls him over to the couch. Yuri mentions that Fernando looks very nervous about finding his assistant. No, she’s my assistant, my right hand and I need to consult with her about something very important. Yuri says that if she didn’t know that Fernando had a girlfriend, she would think that Lety is the most important woman in his life. It’s the way he talks about her and most importantly, the way he looks at her. Manuel agrees. Yuri says that she appears to be more than his assistant, she’s more like his best friend and confidant.

Lola and PM arrive at El Cheque’s apartment. PM is ready for the confrontation but Lola thinks they’re sleeping and doesn’t want to wake them. The lights are off. PM thinks that they should wake them up. Maybe Lola should call him and warn him that they’re their to kill him. He’s laying their with his mistress planning to take her house. Lola runs for the apartment.

Fernando tries to say that yes, Lety is his friend and accomplice. She says that Lety looks at Fernando as more than her boss. Manuel mentions that it seems as though they’re a couple. Fernando says he’s engaged to someone else, and Lety knows that. Yuri says she recognizes that Fernando is absolutely in love with Lety. Mijares thinks so too!

Will Fernando recognize Tomas?
Will Lety's plan work?
If a stranger can see how Fernando feels, how's he going to hide it from Marcia?
Will Saimon serenade an empty house?

Labels: fea

We are reminded of… Fernanda finally figuring out what a creep Cesar is (apparently the flashing sign on his forehead wasn’t enough of a clue);...Gabino finds weird dirt in the hallway outside Miranda’s room;...creepy noises in Miranda’s room.

Renata brings some more juice to her mom...but not because she loves her. It’s Fernanda’s birthday and she says this juice is the best present she’s ever been given. They both tear up, but no resolution is reached in their relationship. Renata leaves…Carola shows up and tries to comfort Fernanda by giving it to her straight…everyone, including Fern herself, blames her for leaving and abandoning the girls. Dr. Phil, I mean Carola, has solved Fern’s problem and now she finally sees that she’s not to blame at all. Carola even remembered Fernanda’s birthday, which must have made Fern forget all about that wonderful orange juice that sits untouched on the coffee table as they leave the room.

Pamela & Sr. Padilla is still trying to figure out what’s going on with her ‘father’ and the mystery account—which turns out to be a line of credit. Per her request, the leader of Leonardo's former gang is on his way. This guy suggests she reopen the account so that the guy who is pretending to be her father doesn’t have to repay the money. She asks him how he knows this guy isn’t her father. He tells her it’s because he saw his father get killed and knows where he’s buried. When Padilla & Pamela ask some questions about what’s going on, the guy threatens them (and their families) that they better just do what he says.

Cesar is getting the daily report from Baldy (Sanson)…who is not a wealth of information. He doesn’t know anything about Roman, Nuria hasn’t told him anything…what’s he doing anyways? He also tells Baldy to watch Renata closely. Asking Baldy’s advice about Lisania, he suggests they get rid of her. Great idea, Cesar says, and to hell with the risks, it’ll be great to see Alejandro crying over his sister’s grave.

Florencia is asking Miranda to come back from the hacienda. Flo tells Miranda that there’s an envelope in the library that she needs her to bring. Gabino comes rushing in, warning Miranda that she should leave because they think El Guapo broke in (apparently CSI: Tabasco analyzed the weird dirt and it came up….El Guapo). Miranda gets all bug-eyed.

Bertha & Fernanda are arguing about whether or not Bertha can visit Flo. Fern starts to correct Bertha’s account of ‘that night’…she didn’t leave, she was run out. Bertha tries to send Fern on a guilt trip but Fern’s not packing her bags. As with all arguments between these two…they end up comparing who loved Alfredo more. Alejandro shows up and tells Bertha to get the heck out of there. Miranda admits that Bertha always seems to find the right button to push with her. Miranda tells Alejandro that she believes Cesar and Bertha are accomplices.

Alejandro is visiting Flo & Fab and they are all discussing evil Bertha, the woes of Fern and Miranda’s sulking in another state. Juan comes in and again Flo warns him to watch out for Bertha.

Pamela & Sr. Padilla is in a crypt, looking for Leonardo’s burial place. The leader of Leonardo's former gang arrives and shows them where it is. He reiterates his threats, and gives her a 48 hour deadline. Sr. Padilla is up for banker of the year, as he promises to help Pamela figure out her family problems and talk with ‘El Magnate”

Gonzalo is on the phone, telling Miranda to get her tush back to Mexico. He tells her, as he is twirling around his gun, that he has to go to London to take care of some personal business. Daniel shows up and tells Gonzo that he and Angel did what they did because of Cesar’s advice and promises. Gonzo tells Danny-boy that they’ve done a lot of damage to both he and Julio. Gonzo asks, if he knows they’re brothers, why is he tattling on him (oh, I thought that’s just what brothers did). Daniel answers it’s because Cesar almost caused the death of Julio and then lied to them about Julio even being in the hospital.

Carola gets the good news that she’s going to be a cashier. Joel shows up and Carola starts in with, “This show is brought to you by…Chedrau…a great place to work and shop!” I guess since this segment is mostly for product placement, my original, more novela-like idea, that Carola’s manager hired her so she could be more like her personal business manager (i.e., madam) will not come to fruition.

Bertha is trying to see Flo. Juan is proving to be a formidable guard dog and could care less about Bertha’s little digs about his marriage and social class.

Renata goes into Fern’s apartment and leaves a cake and some flowers…but she wants it to be a surprise. She starts crying when blenderhead asks her about it. Roman shows up, looking for Amparo.

Alejandro & Fern realize they have a big problem if Cesar & Bertha are playing together. They need to get everyone on the same page as soon as possible. Alejandro goes to talk to Gonzalo & Miranda.

Pamela is crying and Miranda finally gets to be a good friend…offering a little sympathy rather than just taking it. Pamela’s a good crier…she’s not afraid to be all ugly and drooly when she’s whining about her problems. Even her voice is wonderfully hysterical. Apparently, though, Miranda's had enough and gives her some tranquilizers.

Gonzo receives an envelope from Luis Alberto (a gift for Renata). Alejandro shows up to talk and Gonzo starts fondling his gun menacingly again. He pulls the trigger, showing there are no bullets in it. Alejandro relaxes a little. Gonzo tells him about last night’s intruder and asks him to protect Miranda. He tells him that he’s going to London and has Cesar within reach. He gives Alejandro the gun and tells him the intruder was “El Guapo”.

Amparo & Francisco are discussing her getting married. He seems to have come around to the idea (finally). Roman arrives. Bertha shows up too.

Back at the house, Charo tells Miranda that Alejandro’s there and wants to see her. Just as Miranda tells her to tell him that she’s asleep and doesn’t want to see him (what a great line!!), Alejandro walks in…tell me yourself… Flashback to happier times… tell me you don’t love me and I’ll leave.

Cesar and Bertha are literally crying in their beers over their loss of Miranda and Alejandro. Bertha moans about how Alejandro made fun of her and despises her just like his father. It occurs to Cesar to ask Bertha if she killed Alfredo because of that. Bertha howls drunkenly that she had wanted to kill Fernanda, but missed. “I missed! I missed!” Bertha runs down the hallway to get a kleenex before leaving. Right at that moment ther is a knock at the door and Lizania is standing in the doorway dressed to the 9’s and ready to smack Cesar. She walks in and gripes to him that Cesar didn’t answer a single call all afternoon and had his cell off apparently. Lizania runs on, nonstop, and tells him that Alejandro and Luciano have found a way to block Bertha from getting his fortune.

Cesar has tried to get Lizania to leave before she blurted something out and Bertha hears, but she won’t pay attention. He says they’ll talk later. She sneers, “Well, fine, since I’m not interested in having you touch me when you’re drunk!” (Little Miss High-and-Mighty is so full of herself!) She begins for the door. However, Bertha prevents Lizania from leaving and demands, at the point of a long, sharp knife, that she explain what plan Alejandro and Miranda have to block her from taking control of his money. Berta assures her that Alfredo’s documents were unsigned and undated, so she put the date as that before her father’s death which gave her possession of everything. Lizania explains there was a clause that went into effect once they got married, and that clause states that as long as Miranda gets pregnant within the first year, the funds are frozen until the baby is born. Bertha goes nuts and tells Cesar that he has to stop that pregnancy from happening at all cost and then shoves the knife into his hand and leaves the place. After Bertha leaves the apartment Cesar throws the knife onto the floor and takes his belt off and he uses it as a strap. He begins to beat Lizania with it because she told everything she knew to Bertha instead of waiting and giving that information to him instead.

Naty warns Miranda that if she doesn’t leave in the morning right away she will be running a great danger. Gabino arrives and requests Miranda to lock herself in her bedroom that night, and hands her over a gun for her protection.

Fernanda is certain that she will never recover her daughters and tells this to Juan. He’s worried that Renata has said something insulting to her again. Fernanda says she only told her about her suffering as a little girl and that it has now turned into the resentment of a grown woman. So, she cries that Gonzalo was right when he said she should never have come back to reclaim them. Juan says he’ll make Renata see reason, and that if she’s learning to accept the life of a poor man then certainly she’ll come to accept her as her mother. Fernanda disagrees and says as soon as Florencia recuperates she’ll be leaving to go somewhere nobody will ever find her.

Miranda, Arcadia and Naty are frightened while staying locked in the bedroom when they hear someone trying to open the door. It is El Guapo, the pug-ugly, who is hiding somewhere inside the wing in another bedroom. Miranda asks Arcadia if this could be the same troublemakers as before and what they could possibly want from her. Arcadia and Naty discuss the history of the people wanting to grab possession of the various plantations over the decades. Miranda remarks that she couldn’t get hold of one of the nearby neighbors. Arcadia says the property is abandoned and run down and the owner is always in the city. Meanwhile, Pug-ugly is having a grand time frightening these dopy women. He’s scraping the door and then shaking the knobs. Finally, Pug-ugly hears Gabino returning and leaves the hallway to hide. Gabino comes back and opens the door to the bedroom. Miranda pulls the gun and nearly shoots him as he enters.

Daira and Alejandro are discussing their finances and his sadness over Miranda’s rejection of him. She suggest he sell the mansion but he assures her things are not that bad yet. Alejandro mentions to Daira that he now understands what Miranda meant when she said that the wounds of love are healed by tears. Alejandro next asks Daira what she thinks he should do to win back Miranda. Just then Luciano walks in and suggests that rather than asking a woman, he should try to think like one. Alejandro decides that makes sense and figures that Miranda would want to explain things to her father so he decides to go see Gonzalo and tell him everything from the beginning. The others agree that would be best.

The women tell Gabino about the noise at the door, but Gabino swears he saw nobody and nothing. Miranda sends him back out to search the premises again, every little corner he can think of.

Lizania is lying in pain on the couch with very noticeable welts on her arms and chest. (About then I’d be looking for that knife and slipping it under the cushion for when Cesar was least expecting it.) Cesar is in another room, but he comes back in and continues to hurl insults at her. She cries pitifully to him: she’s sorry and she cannot take it back or correct this mistake. He threatens to beat her again and she squeals out in panic not to hit her anymore. She promises she will never let it happen again! Then he warns her that she’s got a number of punishments coming for the way she acted, particularly complaining to him about being drunk. He asks her if she is willing to stay with him and she says yes, she’d do anything for him. She jumps up and tries to kiss him but he pushes her away. (One sick puppy—no, make that 2 sick puppies here!) He yells that he wants her to “Get out!” She can stay with Daira in order to find out more details about the clause in the will. Lizania should “make nice with mommy again”. He tells her, “Act respectfully around her now. Our argument isn’t with Daira, only Alejandro.” He explains that they need Daira on his side so that if wins her over then it will be easier to get Alejandro to accept him. He kisses her and pushes her unceremoniously out the door. He closes it, goes back to the couch to retrieve his belt and wipes it down, presumably wiping off the blood and sweat from the beating he just gave her. (Gag, gagging here--and this is being shown at the dinner hour?)

While Florencia is sleeping Fabricio arrives and Fernanda tells him that she’s done all she can; there is no hope for his wife and she shouldn’t give him false hope. Fabricio cries and says she must save her. Fernanda changes the subject and asks him how he’s getting on with Julio; is he comfortable with the situation. He answers that Gonzalo was more like a father than Julio and he’ll never be comfortable calling him “Dad.” Fernanda reminds him Julio had no idea or things might have been different. Fabricio answers he is more angry with his mother for hiding the truth from him and Julio all these years. (Aren’t we all?) Fernanda replies that parents aren’t taught how to raise children, they just do what they feel is best which causes them to make mistakes.

Carola and Raul agree to purchase a computer together. He’ll teach her to use it to better her career skills and he’ll use it for school projects.

Nuria knocks at Cesar’s door later that same evening. He opens it and she is upset and sour at him for having sent for her. (What a surprise! I love it when she shows some backbone!) He asks why so glum and she says because you only call me if you need some ironing or sewing on a missing button to one of your shirts. Cesar tells her she’s now going to live with him. Nuria literally jumps for joy and squeals excitedly. (Wait! Wait! What happened to the other Nuria?) He says she needs to stop for her things at Miranda’s and in the meantime he is dropped off at the hospital to talk with Fabricio and Fernanda.

Juan tells Florencia, Fabricio and Fernanda that he’s worried Bertha will turn Renata against him. Florencia tells them that she remembers a number of things from that night she wants to tell them. It was Bertha, who, for instance, for all those years turned everybody in the family against Fernanda. Florencia and Fernanda then discuss her early years and the funny timing of the doctors’ deaths. Fernanda explains that if she’d been treated all those years ago her condition would never have advanced. Florencia swears that she always took her medicine. Afterward, Florencia tries to get Fernanda then to tell her how it could be that she has an inherited, congenital heart condition if absolutely nobody in the family suffered from this same problem. She wants to know if she was adopted, but Fernanda says no and tries to avoid the rest of the questions. Instead, she gives her extra sedative to make her sleep.

Juan and Fabricio are talking outside Florencia’s room and he requests that Juan keep Renata far away from Bertha. Juan refuses saying Bertha is her aunt and he has no right to do that. Fabricio warns him that despite that she is evil and has a way of deceiving people and then hurting them, and she will probably try to harm his family as well. She is an evil woman. Cesar walks up on them in the hallway about then. He hears Fabricio and Juan. He says, “Yes, Bertha is evil.” “Don’t look at me that way. I am only trying to be your friend. Bertha doesn’t need a reason to finish off someone. She does it because she enjoys it.” Fabricio adds, “Juan, don’t be naive. Bertha plots against somebody and enjoys it. She does it just to see you suffer. Just to see you suffer.” (Ok, Juan. Here is when that class in psychoanalysis/psychotherapy you took in med school should start sounding alarm bells.) Juan asks if she is as bad as Cesar and he quips back that he’s far worse than Bertha. Fernanda comes out of the room then and Cesar takes her to dinner.

Miranda is sleeping deeply when Pug-Ugly/ El Guapo takes a key from his pocket and enters her room. He walks towards her, runs his fingers up and down her arms and then licks his fingers. He gets onto her bed and lies down next to her. After a bit he gets up and leaves a little carved monkey’s head next to her feet at the foot of the bed and walks out, leaving the door wide open. Miranda wakes up to find the carving. She is of course spooked, so she starts to dial Alejandro on her cell, but she gets mad at herself for always running to him whenever there is a problem. She puts the phone down. Of course, at the other end is Alejandro with his cell in his hand thinking of her and wanting to call her, but neither does. While in their individual beds they both remember their honeymoon, making love and their promises to each other.

At dinner, Cesar tells Fernanda that Miranda and Alejandro should never have been allowed to marry. She answers that well, they loved each other so, there was no reason to object. He replies that if they really loved each other they would not have separated. She admits she ought to have told her the whole truth. Cesar talks next without thinking and shoots off his mouth, ”You ought to have told her that Alejandro came to avenge himself on Gonzalo!” Fernanda stops in mid-chew and asks Cesar how he knows this. Cesar realizes he’s said too much, “Some time ago Fabricio says a few things and I knew then that was what up.” She thinks to herself, “Fabricio just finished learning this himself recently and could not therefore have told Cesar. So, who else knows this and could have told him?”
They finish eating and he says good-bye. He acts so strangely by coming back and hugging her an extra couple of times before actually leaving, and telling her how he needs her to know that he just loves his madrina enormously. Once he is gone, Fernanda realizes she can no longer trust Cesar. She then plans to tell Alejandro about what just happened and about her suspicions.

Miranda calls back in Arcadia and Gabino. She tells them that she had locked her door specially, but there it was, open with the monkey head sitting on her bed. She orders them to examine every nook and cranny, and to lock every room and all the windows. Gabino and Arcadia begin looking for clues in the hallway. They find dirt and sand tracked onto the floor and determine to follow any more signs of that to wherever the intruder might be hiding.

Miranda talks with Pamela on the phone and plans to meet with her the next morning. She returns to bed and secures the gun near her pillow. Then she tries to sleep with at least one eye open.

And away the Mercedes goes, fake logo and all! Saimon attempts to console Alicia. If he had the money, he would help her. She cries and lets him hold her.

The woman in the meeting asks Fernando if they can help Alicia. He says no, her problem is psychological, not economical. Besides, she has borrowed a lot of the company’s money. She can’t pay her debts because she is not responsible. Luigi agrees. They lady says she understands. Fernando brings the conversation back to business and turns the meeting over to Lety.

Saimon continues to try to comfort Alicia. She throws him off and storms back into the office. He yells at her that he hopes her poverty did not rub off on him. He wipes his arms just to make sure. He cannot believe she treated him like this when he offered all of his help.

The woman and Fernando talk. Lety shakes hands with all of them and leaves. Alicia enters the room, crying. Everyone watches her dramatics. Fernando says that there is a special program for people like Alicia. Everyone says goodbye. Luigi hits on one of the men. Irmita enters and lets Luigi know that everything is ready. Alicia continues to cry, very loudly. Luigi tells Fernando he’ll be in his studio and then he’s going to check on choreography for Yuri’s event. Fernando says that he will be there. Alicia keeps on crying. Luigi tells her that she sounds like a distorted ambulance siren. It can’t be that important! She cries anyway and says she hurts for her car.

Fernando enters Lety’s office and congratulates on the meeting with the executives from rodaje.com. He says that it is all because of her. He changes to the topic of the Yuri get-together. They are going to go together. It will be an unforgettable night not only because they get to listen to Yuri, but because they will be together. She tells him that she’ll be eating lunch with her family. He kisses her hand. He kisses Lety on the mouth and she wipes her mouth when he turns away. He asks her for a favor. She needs to ask permission from her father for the night. Tonight he wants to celebrate alone together. Lety half smiles. After he walks out of the office, she re-reads part of the letter about Omar telling him to sleep with her if he gets inspired.

Erasmo and Moty share the dinner table. Tomas argues that they can’t find somebody to take the dog and they looked all morning. Erasmo demands that they get rid of it. Julieta interjects and says that the dog can not leave because she gave the dog to Lety. What?! She repeats herself with a much softer tone: “I gave him to Lety!” At that moment Lety runs in and kisses the dog and then kisses Erasmo. He tries to swim away. She thanks him for the best gift in the world (Moty). Erasmo cocks his head to look at Julieta and Tomas. Lety asks what’s up. Tomas says it is weird that she came home to eat; she never comes home for lunch. Erasmo thinks that she came home just to see the dog. No, she wanted to eat with her family. Erasmo asks Lety to keep the dog far away from him because he is allergic. Tomas and Julieta realize this means the dog may stay.

Back at Conceptos, Fernando talks on the phone with Omar. Fernando says that he has not missed Omar at all. Seriously, if they lived in Canada, these two would be married. Omar is hanging out with some women. He tells Fernando about how the filming is going. He asks if Fernando has been keeping up with the instructions. Yes, he’s given her one of the cards this morning. Fernando thinks that Lety has been tense. He asks if Lety could have possibly found out about the engagement ring. We have another re-hash of I don’t want to hurt Lety and Omar saying keep doing what your doing.

Tomas and Lety go into her bedroom. Tomas asks how it went. Did Lety give the company back? Umm… did they give her Marcia’s voice because she sure sounds like her? Lety tells Tomas that she slapped Fernando. He looks shocked. Dramatic music! Mischievous looks from Lety! Too bad we know the truth. Tomas is thrilled. He pretends that he’s announcing a victorious boxer. He asks how Fernando reacted. He didn’t because she hit him in her imagination, but it felt great when she imagined him falling back. Tomas tells her that she needs to do something. Lety doesn’t know what. Julieta calls them to eat. Tomas streaks for the door. Lety asks Moty what she should do. She decides to eat and leaves her room. Lety says that it looks like they’re having a party. Of course, because she’s eating with them! Lety passes Moty to Julieta over the table. He now has his own chair. They begin the family ritual. Erasmo lights a white candle and they each say what it is that they want. Lety is the only one who says that she doesn’t want anything but she is very thankful for her beautiful family. Julieta tells Lety to light another candle. This is done to ask for all the things that they hope the family will become. Tomas encourages everyone to eat.

Alicia cries to her father on the phone about her car. It was worth much more than her debts! She has to pay 40,000 pesos to recuperate it. Sara and Juana listen to her conversation until Lola enters the office crying hysterically. Alicia tells her to be quiet but, Lola’s crying apparently makes Alicia feel worse and she cries again. They call Lety to help with Lola. She says she’ll be right there.

Alicia tells her father that she needs to work. Irmita and Luigi approach. He asks why she’s crying, did her boyfriend leave her. He understands that she has many money problems, but now she doesn’t have to pay anything that has to do with car. He says that someone can be happy, even if they have to ride a bicycle. Alicia replies that she would never be happy with just a bicycle. Luigi takes his leave to go work. Alicia talks some more with her dad.

Juana and Martha run to the bathroom to take care of Lola. Lola is worried that Efren is going to get her house. She talked to the lawyer and he could possibly get fifty percent of everything! Everyone asks what they can do to her help her. Lola says there’s nothing they can do. Sara says they go get El Cheque; PM sarcastically says she’ll kill the woman who took Lola’s husband. Lola says she would never take the father of her children from them. Lety asks if Efren is still paying his child support. She says that Lola tell the lawyer everything. PM thinks that Lola should take a lover and show him off in front of Efren. We slowly see Lety’s face light up. You think she has an idea?

Lety receives a call from Omar. He asks how everything is going. Fine, she tells him. He asks for Fernando. She puts him through to Fernando and moves to her door to listen. Omar tells Fernando that he and Marcia are going the airport now to return to Mexico. Fernando says he’s going to the Yuri event with Lety. Lety remembers when Fernando said that Omar did not know anything and the time when she and Fernando talked in Omar’s apartment about how Omar would find out he brought her. She reads the letter some more - the part about not being able to return to Omar’s apartment. She can not believe that Omar knows everything about the intimacy between her and Fernando. They’re both pigs! She overhears Fernando impatiently telling Omar that they’ll talk tomorrow. He hangs up and calls Lety. He says they need to get ready to leave. Where are we going, she asks? He says they will go to the Yuri event to make an appearance and so Marcia will not suspect anything. Then they’re going to escape and go off to be alone. She asks if they can go to Omar’s apartment. He says okay, but why don’t we go to his house. She confirms she wants to go to Omar’s apartment. Besides, he doesn’t know about them. No, Lety, Fernando confirms. Lety goes on and says that the apartment is very discreet and no one will follow them. Yes, it is and it’s where we shared that special night. I’ve never had a night like that with anyone; it was very special. He makes sure there will not be a problem with Erasmo. Fernando runs off to the bathroom. Lety wants to be intimate and that’s definite progress, but she’s being so distant and cold. He thinks to himself that tonight he’s going to be completely sincere with her and demonstrate to her what he feels. He’s not going to lie. In her office Lety thinks about PM’s idea to make Efren jealous. Lety decides that Tomas would be perfect for this. More re-reading of the Lety

Saimon calls someone to find out about how much it will cost for five songs, three songs…one song? Okay, he’ll check his balance. He turns around to talk to Celso. This serenade is going to cost a fortune! He sees PM enter the room. She goes to her desk and the boys leave. PM pouts.

Alicia complains to Marcia that her car is lost! How can she present herself to any men with dignity? She knows that Marcia warned her, but this is going to affect Marcia as well. Fernando is going somewhere tonight and Alicia can’t follow him. He’s going someplace where there is going to be a lot of beautiful women. Marcia realizes that he’s going to the Yuri event. She tells Alicia to take her ticket from her office and to take her car. Alicia promises to be careful. Fernando will not catch her.

Saimon and Celso talk outside. Celso wants Saimon to hire his friends. Saimon wants to make sure that they’ll be as good as the professionals. Celso reassures him. . Saimon cannot believe that he’s going to spend so much on a serenade.

Alicia searches Marcia’s office. She finds the invitation to Yuri’s event. She’s sure that she’ll meet a rich man there who will help her. She needs one now more than ever. She’s going to have to pretend that she still has her Mercedes and that nothing has happened to her. She’ll make herself herself very pretty and change her clothes. Tonight is her night!

The cuartel observe Celso and Saimon. PM says they have been acting very suspicious. PM worries that he’s arranging to leave with some “friends.” Martha reminds them that Saimon used to like Yazmin. Everyone glares at him. Celso has success! Saimon knows that PM will be thrilled when her Mariachi arrive. PM says she wants to leave with him and wants to know what’s going on. Saimon squeaks.

Lety is in her office. She talks about her idea with Tomas in her head. She remembers when Fernando told Lety that he was jealous of Tomas.

Saimon whines to PM. He says that she should go see her son. He has a surprise. She says that she wants to leave. Alicia teases the cuartel because they’re standing around in the reception area. Sara tries to fight. Martha and Celso hold her back. Alicia wiggles off and accidentally drops her invitation. Sara opens it and realizes that it is for tonight’s event. Celso says he’ll take it to Alicia. Sara has a better idea and rips it up.

The phone rings at the Padilla house. Tomas yells that he’ll answer it. It’s Lety and she tells him that she needs something. Of course! He says. He has great ideas about what they can do. No, she’s going to give him the address to an event. She wants him to come. He doesn’t think that they’ll let him in. Lety tells him to dress up, like in a magazine. No problem, he says. He’ll wear his father’s clothes. Lety, who is so unaware about the hideousness of her own wardrobe, grimaces. She tells him to rent a suit; his father’s suit won’t work. He needs something more modern. Tomas asks if it’s an event for Conceptos. No, she tells him. Fernando invited her. She does not know if anyone else from Conceptos will be there. Tomas gets really excited about confronting Fernando. She tells him to present himself as the manager of Filmo Imagen and as her loving boyfriend. Fernando pops into the office and asks if its time to go. She changes her tone with Tomas and says good-bye “papa.” Tomas catches on and changes his voice. She’s not going to recognize him! She’s going to die when she sees him!

Lety lies and says she was getting permission to go out. She asks Fernando if he wants her to change or to go as she is currently dressed. Fernando tells Lety that she looks perfect, very perfect. She tells him that he must be missing his glasses. No, I have 20/20 vision. Lety yanks his tie and says that he does not need to lie anymore! She pushes him away. She won’t accept any more lies! It’s a day dream. She follows him out of the office. They go to his car. He opens the door for her. She remembers the time she asked for a kiss when she was in Fernando’s car outside of Conceptos. She starts to cry. He tells her to get in the car and shuts the door behind her. Lety cannot look at him. Mr. Oblivious finally notices something is wrong and asks if she’s okay. He says she does not have the enthusiasm she usually has when she goes out with him. He keeps asking what’s wrong and pulls her face toward his. Nothing. He’s still hung up on the idea that she knows about the engagement ring. He asks if he did something to bother her. They talk about Fernando’s behavior when Patricia Manterola was in the office; he didn’t ask the same this time when Rocio was in the office. He reminds her that he asked for forgiveness after the Patricia Manterola thing. She remembers. It was unforgettable. You did very well today! He pulls her fact to him again and leans in for the kiss… sorry, folks, gotta wait until mañana for that one!

Will Tomas accomplish a new, sexy look?
Will Lety allow Fernando to kiss her?

Happy Halloween, everyone!

Let us begin this episode with those two crazy kids Dider & Joselyn. Dider the "Latin Dance Machine", with the oddly Teutonic name, is seriously puttin the ole squeeze on Joselyn down at the House of Fashion. Either pony up mucho dinero or he'll show the "Dancing with the Whores"...ooppsss typo "Dancing with the Stars", camera zooms in for the close up Horizontal Mambo, video to Gabe. Grrrwwwwwllllllll.....There is some sexually charged pushing & shoving & grrrrwwwlllling at this point.
Okay she promises she'll come up with money. I can't believe Dider the Dance Machine Dude fell for that, did he not hear the grrrrrwwwwwlllllll?

Our two Star-Crossed lovers Paulina and Juan Cristobel:
Well it must be take an annoying kid to work day, cause Pauli has brought "Tiny Tim" down to the shop (strangely enough she isn't toiling away...wearing gloves with the fingers cut out...ooops sorry that is the other "Tiny Tim", oh well God Bless Us Everyone); anyway she introduces him to JC.

JC gets the thought bubble, "Hmm my lil hermano, well you can't choose your family". Lui is all excited to meet JC & calls him "Primo" (spanish for first cousin...it's used like "Cuz" is here). I believe, Lui is all excited in anticipation of that tried and true Mexican tradition of yelling "Primo" across crowded cantinas, only to have six hundred people turn around as everyone is drinking with their Primos. (My husband's name actually is Primo, so I know of what I speak).

Pauli & Lui get ready to go get some muy rico comida...I'm thinking pudding cups cause I can't imagine that kid eating solid food or maybe some nine-lives, cause he is kinda mewwwwing again, squealing that he is sooooo excited to have a "Primo". Anyway he invites JC to go along and Pauli & JC exchange one of those "Kids, what can you do" looks, thus relieving the tension.

Well what exactly are our friends in the barrio up too? It's an incredibly wholesome Naco Futbol (that's Soccer to you) rally, with everyone cheering the local team on ... which of course Leo happens to be the leader of. I recognize some of the women who are trying out as cheerleaders, they were a few years ahead of me at school ... trust me that is saying something ... that they even remember what a pom-pom is much less how to twirl one.

JC decides to join Pauli & Lui for dinner back at the Big House ... Gabe greats them at the door and is very cordial to JC ... but Gabe is basically one of those always clueless, yet faultlessly polite individuals ... Gawd no wonder Demian hates him.

Tiberio after losing out on French Kissing his own mother ... is at a loss for something to do ... so he chides Rogelio over the two hot babes Rogelio was out with the nite before. Rogelio is like "So What", Tiberio is all like, "Your Dad would be mad"....yeah this seemed kinda lame to me too. Tiberio wants to play Billards against Rogelio, but I'm not certain what the stakes are. ... I know it is not for Diana ... so maybe it is for Gabe.

Tiberio now calls slutty lil beast Karen, who squeals and twists with delite at the thought of dinner with Tiberio. He says, "don't be late & wear your plaid skirt knee hi's." Okay I just made the skirt & knee hi's part up, but I'm sure he would have approved.

Karen comes in and sees the warm family moment of JC mixing it up with the Gabe side of the family. The idea of dinner with Tiberio no longer seems so appealing. She calls Tiberio, who is at what I assume is supposed to be a swanky Italian eatery (there is a rather tacky paint by number Leaning Tower of Pisa painting on the wall). She tells him dinner is off, JC is at the Big House. I almost felt sorry for Ti, stood up.

Over at the other Big House....the dark evil Big House.... Demian comes home. He is informed JC will not be joining them for dinner. Demian takes advantage of this to try & get busy with Regina. "Hey let's put the past behind us, lets start over." "Too little Too late" is her reply. I feel bad for Demian, Regina has been sitting around for twenty-five years hopin for the guy with two good legs. Geez, yeah I got over the cute guy that sat behind me in Freshman English like 30 years ago. Gabe is like 2 wives & a schoolteacher plus three kids, beyond Regina. She needs to realize "Gabe just wasn't that into her".

This alienation of affection causes Demian to vow that he will make Gabe suffer.
Oh yes, he has some work for the Barrio Boy "Coyote"

Meanwhile back at the Good Big House:
Everyone is breaking bread together and getting along quite well. Here comes Joselyn, (I just noticed they have a rather large "St. Michael" statue on the table in the living room; this makes me wonder if Demian has a big "Beezelbub" statue in his living room). Joselyn sneaks in to Gabes office, looking for something, she finds a gun. Whoa Mama that is a big one ... (my husband said like a .380, thank god, she carries a big purse, she puts into her purse right next to her tube of "Big Glossy Lip-Plumper". Grwwwwwwllllll.

Joselyn then back tracks, slams the door, "Hola, Familia, Mami is home."
Joselyn is like WTF, when she sees JC, but oh well she has bigger fish to fry. Candelaria comes in to the dining room and suggests that Lui go with MA to the big neighborhood fiesta. Joselyn says no that those kind of things are not for Lui (I don't know if she meant cause he is crippled or a class thing or if she realizes ... everyone hates him and a mob of peasants will storm the castle and kill him).

Anyway at this point ... Dider calls (he is lounging around his tropical apartment, while sporting a wife-beater tee ... oh Dider, I feel I barely knew ye). In a sub coded message Joselyn tells him she will indeed give him the money. She abruptly leaves the table, Gabe has that look of confusion on his face, but I don't know if it is over Joselyn or if he just wonders one cube or two for the coffee. NowGabe is smilin at MA cause it is two thumbs up with Lui hittin the fiesta.

****I forgot at some point Lui mewwws out that he'd really like to meet his Tio Demian; I was like yes!!!!!! Go to the Dark Side...I am your Father....Luke....wait make that Lui****

Anyway no one really answers his query...it was just a pregnant pause & people looking up at the ceiling ... Awkward.

The Naco Futbol game happens and it is kinda sad, many players look to be old enough to have played in the orginal Greek Olympics. On the side line the local "Hells Angels" appear and kind of ride their bikes all around the field....I am way confused at this point cause it looks like there is gonna be a serious rumble....1969 "The Stones Concert"...

No need to worry, they just line up on the side and watch.
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
Yes, our Dr. Leo scores a goal.....Yayyyyyyyyy

Oh no, there has been a altercation between Leo and a player from the opposing side... He's down, his right leg is injured, his knee is twisted. Pushing and shoving between the teams breaks out ... the drug crazed bikers take to the field (they did take to the field, but I just added the drug-crazed part for effect) ... Leo, with a stiff upper lip calms everyone down.

The game continues and Leo, with a giant wrap around his leg, cheers his teammates on to victory. Everyone is nice to each other, but the bikers come up and taunt the losing team... I have no idea why. One of the bikers blows a kiss at one of the over-the-hill cheerleaders. Oh good another plot-point, cause this Telenovela seems to be lacking in them.

Oh I forgot, I got throw this in, Joselyn did ask Miriam for help, but of course Miriam told her she was on her own. Otilia also came and visited Miriam, sorry I'm not sure what was said, I got a phone call, but whatever it was, there was some snarking going on. I saw Ingrid come in to Miriam's office and I was glad to see Miriam hadn't beaten her to death, but she did continue to berate her.

Now it is the next day and we are seeing the Big Fiesta, which is for St. Francis of Assisi "Patron Saint of Animals and the Environment". Good Times, Good Times ... in a particularly "Dickens Moment", Leo is carrying Lui on his back, with MA right at this side. Hey that wrenched knee got better really fast cause that kid is no lite weight.

It is now night at the Fiesta and Lui is playing rock/scissors/paper with a kid named David, he and David, with MA permission go off to get balloon animals from a mime...

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, never trust a mime

David gets this really rockin bunny rabbit and Lui wants a dragon, David runs back to show MA his bunny and the mime grabs Lui hand. Next we are lookin thru milling people and OH NO, I warned them about the mime ... Lui is gone. Panic ensues, Leo quickly organizes a Naco Search Party.

Meanwhile, Gabe is having a drink with Nic, they discuss what else ... MA, Gabe asks Nic if he is interested in MA, Si she is muy good lookin and nice too. Gabe then proceeds to lay it on pretty thick with you are my only friend and I am living without love....I too think MA is hot.

The Mime and the kid arrive at some crappy dwelling with bad furniture and two rooms, the Mime shoves the kid into the back bedroom and tells Lui to shut-up. Well we all know how well that works. Mewwwwwwww. The Mime locks him in there. I hope for the Mime's sake that is a sound proof room. The Mime wipes off his make-up OMG it's Coyote.

Back to the Fiesta, oh No the kid can't be found....by this point the two local priests are involved............
(You don't know how hard it is for me....I so wanta to go there, but due to the sensitive nature of some jokes...I won't).

MA is now really scared, no kidding you lost the kid ... not good for a resume.
They decide to call the authorities & Gabe.

Coyote calls Demian with a "The package is in the Locker" message and Demian laughes his really EVIL, yet crazy HAWT laugh. Lui is sobbing "Help me" "Help me" "Papacito"

JC shows up at the Big House with the lame excuse he wants to dicuss work. Well of course this leads to the big personal discussion and Paulina says she thinks JC, wants Slutty Karen.

Joselyn arrives at Dider, tropical wonderland, this guy is such a tool. He has made them tropical drinks with little umbrellas in them and he turns on his CD player and now he is just "Dancin in Dark", you can tell he thinks he is all that. Joselyn pulls out her .380 and Dider's lil feets stop tappin. You can see his thought bubble, "Crap I'll never get to the Latin Grammys".

Will Dider commit suicide by Joseyln?
Will Gabe ever be able to get a clue?
Will Leo notice Coyote buying large quanties of "Fancy Feast"?
