Caray, Caray!

I’m sorry this recap is so late. I had a very busy weekend, I knew it was going to be busy, but I thought I could handle it. What could go wrong? Well let me tell you. First I forgot to set up the recorder, so I asked my 13 year old to set it up for me. He knows how to do it and I thought I had explained that he could tape over the same tape. When I got home, (it was about 7:10) he said he couldn’t tape it because he could not find a new tape!! Thus I lost the beginning. I had decided I would do the recap on Saturday; I had lots of time after I came from work right? Well I had to cook for church and I overcooked the chicken. Have you ever overcooked chicken? It was a mess I almost cried. I had to run and get everything again thus no time to do the recap (on the other hand I have lots of overcooked chicken, I think I’ll make taquitos fritos y chiles rellenos ) Well the good thing about Friday’s recap is that you have two extra days to do it, but since Sunday is church day, and laundry day and make sure you have everything for school day, and last minute “mom I forgot to tell you I need 3 more notebooks for tomorrow” day well I was running all day long. I had to wait until my kids went to bed, but here I am, finally by myself, enjoying the sound of the crickets and writing this recap for you. Enjoy it.

Kike is talking to Julia and he invites her to Nidia’s wedding. In the hospital Juan tells Paula that he admires her for the way she is handling the situation with CL and Monica. –Somebody else in your place would have left. –Somebody else wouldn’t be in my place…right now I don’t know what my place is. Juan thought bubbles; I don’t know what my place is either because without you I’m as lost as a flyer without a pole. (Juan is talking about “Los voladores de papantla” you can find out about them thru this link http://www.vanilla.com/html/globe-voladores.html ) CL arrives and asks for Monica. Paula says she is leaving but CL would not let her. He asks Juan to leave him alone with Paula. Juan says to himself “otra vez la burra al trigo” The female donkey is going again to the wheat (It means CL is back to his old tricks) Juan complies and leaves. CL asks why they didn’t tell him immediately. –Monica did not want to. –Why do these things happen? It is your fault because you left her when she was expecting your child. Paula I wish that you and I could... –Worry about your wife, she needs you. Paula grows a spine and walks away (and I cheer!!)
CL enters Monica’s room. When she sees him she cries and tells him that she lost the baby and it’s her fault. He is at lost for words. She asks him to hug her, he does.

Outside Fernando and Juan are talking. Juan tells Fernando that Monica lost the baby and them (Juan and Paula) where in the middle of the whole “numerito” show. Fernando wants to know how Paula is taking it. Juan is not happy with the question. Paula approaches and asks to be taken to her mother’s house. Back in the hospital Monica is still blaming herself. –If I had not insisted in working, if I had rested instead… CL tells her not to chastise herself. He promises he’ll stay with her and won’t leave her. He is just going to get his clothes and come back. As he is leaving Monica asks for Paula’s telephone number. –I want to call her to let her know what happened. –No, I don’t have her phone number here, but I’ll get it for you. He leaves.

At Ana’s house Paula and Ana are talking –It was awful; it is horrible what is happening to that (poor) woman. –And you have to share this anguish with her. –It is like a bad hand from destiny (like if she was playing cards and she got dealt a bad hand) and I could not leave her. –Because you have a big heart. –No, it was because she was a woman that was suffering and needed me. –She is the wife of the man that you still love –I can’t hate her, I can’t. Right then the bell rings. Is the scam bag… I mean CL. Paula makes an impactada face and we got to commercials.

We come back to a screaming Paula. –Go away! –Paula, please, listen to me. –Aren’t you ashamed? This is my mother’s house! –Don CL Paula is right you shouldn’t be here. –Please Ana, I swear this is the last time I show up like this. Paula is very upset and reminds CL that his word is worth nothing. –All you have told me are lies! –That is not true, please Paula give me 5 minutes and I won’t bother you ever again. (I’m afraid we are going to see how Paula loses the spine she just grew up)

Marely and Juan are talking. Marely can’t believe what happened, she feels sorry for Mrs. Farell. She asks Juan for Paula –How is she taking it (This seems to be the questions of the night) Juan tells Marely that Paula is suffering and that he is almost sure this is the end of their relationship. Marely is not that sure. She tells Juan not to hope against hope. “no te hagas ilusiones” do not deceive yourself . Juan tells her he wishes he could order in his heart and stop feeling the way he does. –You have to protect yourself Juan. –Do you Marely?

CL and Paula are talking. CL is spewing lies and more lies. –I know is my responsibility blah, blah, blah. (I really get drained when I’m listening to him) --I did it because I did not want to lose you blah, blah. –You are the love of my life. –There are things that are more important than love. –Like what. –Like commitment! (You tell him Paula) --What were you going to do with your child? Where you going to share your time between your family and me? –Yes, if that’s what it would take, a child is not enough reason to maintain a bad marriage. –But you did not ask me if I was prepared for a situation like that! –I was afraid, afraid to lose you.

Marely and Juan are talking, I could not understand clearly, but I think Juan asked Marely if she believed in love. –All I know is that I don’t believe…Tomorrow my mother is marrying a man she doesn’t love, Paula is in love with a man that has to many compromises, and me, for a moment, I thought that you and I could have a relationship, and look at yourself you are still in love with a woman that doesn’t love you. –But that is different –Why? –Because I believe in love. –That is really sad Juan.

Paula and CL keep on arguing. Big yawn –I love you –you need to be the man you said you were. –I love you. –Our relationship is strictly work related. (I’m just skipping the rest of their argument is more of the same, once you have listen to a slime ball lying, you have listen to all)

Consuelo and Monica are talking. Monica doesn’t want to go back to the house. She’ll go to live with CL at his apartment.

Juan finds Nidia drinking. She says she is drinking in honor of her misfortune. –What misfortune? –Don’t you know what happens tomorrow? --You need to go to bed, tomorrow you’ll have a headache and you won’t stand it. –On the contraire, drunk is the only way I can make it tomorrow “Al quirofano y al matrimonio no hay que meterse sin anesthesia” To the operating room and to marriage you can’t enter without anesthesia. –Who is making you marry without love? –Destiny, the unavoidable destiny. Juan answers –The only thing that you can’t avoid is “La calaca” the riper, death. (I guess he doesn’t have to pay taxes ;))

We go to the groom. He is talking to Kike, I think he is thinking to much in Nidia, because he is channeling her. He wants to drink. Kike is no dummy he remembers exactly what happened the last time he drank with Alirio. He (Kike) reminds him that tomorrow is Alirio’s wedding (bodorrio). –I was resigned to finish my life more alone that a cactus, and look at me now ready to marry. Alirio confesses to Kike that he has loved Nidia for a long time. –I know that Nidia doesn’t love me, but she’ll love me with time.

Ana is trying to make Paula eat something. Ana tells Paula she should not mix the problems of the heart with the stomach. Paula took a decision, now she should stick to it and stop worrying. Paula is afraid that that is exactly the problem; she thinks she will not be able to stick to it. –I taught you well you’ll be fine –Mom, thank you for being with me.

The Next day

Monica informs CL she won’t be back to their house, she wants to live in his apartment, CL is not happy about it but he has to accept. Next we see them arriving at the apartment. Monica is happy, because she doesn’t like to be on the bed all day long. CL reminds her that Ricardo (the doctor) recommended bed rest. She agrees, but she doesn’t want to be treated as a sick person. Monica remembers that today is Nidia’s wedding she insists that CL go. He says he’ll go

At Ana’s house, Ana wants Paula to go with her. Paula doesn’t want to. She is not in the mood. Ana tells Paula to get up and get ready, she doesn’t want Paula to stay home and be depressed all day long. Finally Paula agrees to go.

I the Cachon residence, we see Nidia sleping. She is snoring very loudly. Juan, Marely and Yadira are trying to wake her up. They decide to throw water to her face to wake her up. It works.

On their way to the church Arilio is very nervous, is time for the wedding, and he is afraid Nidia won’t show up. Kike tries to reassure him that everything will be ok. He gets so worked up that he gets sick of his stomach. (We hear strange growling sounds, we are led to believe these sounds come from his stomach)

At the church Pastor is talking to his mother. Sra Pastora with the charm of a poisonous spider is complaining for everything. CL approaches, he says hi to pastor, and when he is trying to make small talk to Pastora “el tiro le sale por la culata” the pistol backfires, and she starts complaining about everything and is rude to him.

Nidia is fully dress in white. Marely is trying to comb her hair. Nidia complaints that Marely is not doing it “crefully enough” Marely tells her is her own fault, since she drunk like a construction worker on the day “de la Santa Cruz” (The day of the Saint Cross, is the day of the construction workers “albañiles” in Mexico, and they celebrate by making straw crosses, putting them in the construction sites so that God would bless them, and drinking).

Kike and Alirio arrive to church. Alirio goes straight to the bathroom. Kike explains that Alirio is very nervous. Everybody wants to know when the ceremony is starting. Kike calls the Cachon residence. Juan answers and tells him no to worry everything is A OK. The bride will be at church... eventually. Kike is worried since he has been informed the church has another ceremony after Nidia and Alirio’s. While Kike and Juan are talking, Nidia is getting cold feet. She is not sure if she should marry… no, she is sure now, she should not marry, and as of matter of fact she is not getting married today. The Wedding is off. Marely and Yadira just roll their eyes.

Juan is just getting off the phone when Marely comes down the stairs and then Yadi. Juan wants to know where Nidia is, they both inform him that the wedding is off. Juan can’t believe it. Next we see them (Juan, Yadi and Marely) sitting in the living room. Juan doesn’t understand why the girls aren’t upstairs convincing mom to go to the Wedding. They say that knowing their Prima Dona Mother, she will be coming out soon yelling to take her to the church. She can’t miss this chance to be the center of attention. Sure enough, here comes Nidia in all her splendor making her entrance yelling at them for not being ready. Then she trips and cames tumbling down the stairs. (We know she is ok, because we see in the previews that she makes it to the church). We are reminded that this doesn’t happen in real life, therefore any coincidence is just that, a coincidence

As mentioned yesterday, the EWWWW factor is very high as Piero and Lidia suck face Emiliooo openmouth bass style. He wants her to come back to work for him so he can suck on her face every day, she says no. They use ‘sensual’ voices (let me put about a million quotes around ‘sensible’ since it didn’t work) and groan at each other. I guess this turns them on. Whoa – she pushes him down on a chair, then pulls down the top of her dress, stopping thisclose to letting her goodies spring free. That was a close one. I was actually expecting to see something there, forgot I was watching basic cable. Good thing I guess, Piero might have been in even MORE trouble than he already is. Wifey walks in and catches them and goes apeshit, trying to kill Lidia with her bare hands. She then swears to Piero that he’ll regret being born, he will give her a divorce and she’ll take every penny, as well as make sure he never sees his daughter again. Piero says she can’t do that, she says she will. “Te vas a arrepentir, Piero!” she swears as she leaves the room. That and “Vas a pagar MUY caro” are staples in this situation, we’ve heard them both many times before. Someone is always going to regret/pay. In this case, I believe wifey, Piero is screwed. And this time not the way he wanted. After she leaves, he actually has the nerve to be pissed off. You reap what you sow, dumbass.

Diego goes to the billar to confront Isela. She says she isn’t proud of what she did, but shit happens. She said she was in love with Manuel. He reproaches her for doing this to his mother, who is the saintliest woman in the world. Isela begs forgiveness, Diego says he can’t and leaves. Morticia wants to know what happened, Isela tells her the whole story. What a bunch of gossips on this show, they even gossip about themselves. She tells Morticia that Manuel pursued her vigorously back when it all happened. She eventually went back with Anibal but her feelings never totally went away. Isela feels bad for failing Diego this way. Morticia says she should go talk to Diego and explain herself, he’s sure to understand and forgive. Sure.

Lidia is having a tantrum in her room, Clemencia comes in and sees the claw marks on her neck from the fight and starts to freak out. All she says is “It’s my fault” and Clemencia is apparently a mind reader, since she immediately says “His wife caught you together.” Lidia starts to whine, her mother tells her tough noogies, it’s your own fault, and what the hell were you thinking? Clemencia really reads her the riot act, she’s coming at it as the wronged wife in her own little drama so she really has a full head of steam. She asks Lidia, what if you were the wife and found your husband with some slut? Lidia proudly says that it wouldn’t happen to her, Clemencia tells her that EVERYONE says that, but it happens! Clemencia is really railing now. Lidia figures it out, I thought she was too dumb, but Clemencia immediately confesses the whole thing. Nobody on this show believes in minding their own business.

GSD takes a phone call from Mo. Mo apparently orders him to take two days off. I’ve never seen anyone less excited to have time off. Oh, and he’s smoking. “GSD smokes” is up there with “Angel coughs.” GSD immediately calls Emilia and invites her over for dinner, he will do the cooking himself.

Lidia wants to know who the woman is that Manuel cheated with. Wait wait wait wait let me understand this – she herself is the ‘other woman’ in her own affair, but when she hears of someone else doing the same thing, she gets all indignant and wants to confront her? Sorry Lidia, it doesn’t work that way. You are a homewrecker, you and the other homewreckers are peas in a pod, you don’t get to pretend you are any better just because you chose to believe your lover’s wife was a bad woman or whatever other lies he told you just to get some. Tramp. Anyway, Clemencia won’t tell her. Smart move. Lidia says she isn’t going to go see Piero again, she has seen the other side of the story. Clemencia sweet talks her with stories of her finding her own man. Don’t any of you remember, she HAD one, his name was Paco? Paco who disappeared and you have all already forgotten about him except every once in a while? Poor Paco, no respect, even in death.

Leo tries to help Mo feel better, he’s rubbing a hole in his temples. Leo blathers on about wanting things to be like the old days, Mo says it won’t happen. She asks why doesn’t he let Azul go, she doesn’t want to be here anyway. He starts getting mad, she backs down. She says she’ll do whatever Mo wants. The phone rings, Piero is at the front door, Mo says let him in. Mo tells her to forget about Andres and think about him, he needs her help and for her to be his right arm. That’s all well and good, but can she kill people and tuck shirts in with the same skill Andres has displayed? She says she will do as he says, not to worry. Piero enters and introduces himself to Leo, he enters and she leaves. Piero tells Mo about getting busted. He’s worried, everything is in his wife’s name. He wants to know when he can start Mo’s building project, so he can earn some money. Mo says it’s on hold. Piero goes to leave, but Mo says there is something he (Mo) can do to help him, that will help Mo too. Piero says whatever you want.

Diego shows up at Azul’s apartment, he wanted to know why she didn’t go to work. She was working on her thesis, she catches him up on her status. He asks if she fought with mo, she asks about Eva. He says she went to New York, Azul says “oh, for good?” Diego laughs and says no, she (Azul) would like that, but no. She says “oh I would like that? Why do you think that?” She refers to Diego as her friend, he says he isn’t her friend. He lets her hair down for her and says he likes her look better that way. He starts moving in on her, she says he can’t just show up at her house and… he says “make love? Why not?” Cripes this guy has balls. Speaking of, I would expect that most women would deliver a knee to said balls right about now, this borders on assault. She steps back and tells him no.

Emilia arrives in a turquoise dress that is actually less form-fitting and hoochie than her ‘work’ clothes. GSD is of course totally into it and gives her a rose. He doesn’t let her very far into the room before making out with her. Now I swear I was thinking before this next line that she must gag when he’s that close, what with how much he smokes and all. He must stink like the floor of a tavern. I can smell a heavy smoker from about 20 feet away, this guy is a HEAVY smoker and she’s right up in his personal space, gag. So anyway I was thinking that when Emilia says “mmm you smell great.” What? He starts on about some cologne he hasn’t worn in years. Is it ‘eau de butt’? She is impressed with his place and how he set such a nice table, etc. He rants on about the dinner he made. The stare at each other like teens, it’s gross.

Azul tells Diego that she’s tired of him playing with her like this. He explodes. “ME playing with YOU?” If I had time I’d put in a little video clip right here of Judge Smails saying “YOU HOO HOO” from Caddyshack, but I don’t have time (It was when Rodney Dangerfield says “the only reason I’m here is because I might buy this dump” to which Ted Knight, in his best role ever, says “Buy? BUSHWOOD? YOU HOO HOO? It’s awesome, I hope at least some of you can visualize it. But I digress.). I paused the DVR right when Diego’s face is bright red and he’s in mid gesticulation. I wish I had a screen grab of it. I need to work in my technology integration if I’m going to do this right, don’t I? Diego says it is her indecision with Mo that has caused the problems. Why does she keep with him if she doesn’t love him? She asks how does he know she doesn’t love him, he says she told him! He starts on about how they love each other and they shouldn’t be apart, etc etc. Lots of heavy breathing. Diego tells her that she is the love of his life and the theme music starts playing. They make out, he carries her to her bed. I’m no TV-kissing expert, but it looks to me like the actor who plays Diego is just playing to the camera and not actually trying to kiss. In bed they confess their love to each other AGAIN. I’m sure it will last until about five minutes after he finishes up. Then they’ll get in a fight or something. So obviously now they are getting busy, we head to commercial.

After commercial, we’re still in the apartment, Ceci is coming home with Andres. Ceci goes to the room to check if Azul is home. Ceci tells Andres that Azul is totally asleep, better if he goes. He says fine, he’ll call her tomorrow. Much kissing. Just then Diego the idiot walks out of the room, putting his shirt on. I guess he was in the bathroom and didn’t hear them come in, but he made no effort to hide. Ceci says “oops we didn’t know..” and Andres finishes “but we suspected.” Diego says he knows he didn’t have a good relationship with Andres (understatement of the year) and begs him to not say anything to Mo or anyone else. Then Azul walks out wrapped in a sheet. She begs Andres also, he says ok. Diego thanks him. Andres the snake then offers condolences to Diego about Abuelo. Ceci rushes Andres out the door. Diego and Azul hope Andres doesn’t say anything, but then say that they need to tell everyone themselves that they are together. Diego suggest tacos, they are both hungry. Diego asks why she’s hungry, was she exercising? Ha ha oh Diego you card.

Suddenly they are dressed and at a restaurant, talking about how wonderful it all was. I’m sure they’ll change their tune when Leo comes back and wants Diego to put out, or when Mo’s face turns a whole new shade of purple (instead of its usual red) when hearing the news. They decide to talk to Mo soon. At least he understands that they’ll both have to quit their jobs. They decide to look for jobs. They sweet talk, barf. She says first thing in the morning she’ll go to Mo and tell him everything. He says he’ll talk to Burgay and Eva, but Eva is gone another week. She says he could talk to Burgay now, but Diego doesn’t want to, Burgay will tell Eva, Diego would rather tell her personally. Ah – here comes the fight I predicted. Diego says Eva was so good to him, Azul bristles and says “oh yeah she’s so great.” Diego immediately goes into defensive mode and sweet talks her some more. They start making out right in the middle of the taco stand. They play the “I love you” “I love you MORE” game. Double barf.

Mo wakes up screaming for Leonarda, he’s having some kind of health issue, he tells her to call the doctor. Maybe he’ll just die and save a bunch of people a bunch of trouble.

Azul is up, Ceci wakes up and wants to know why. She can’t sleep, she’s all emotional. Ceci wants all the details of her night of passion, but first, what is she going to do with Mo? Azul says she’s going to break up with him and quit. Just like that? Yes. Ceci says they have fought twenty times, Azul says this time she is in love, blah blah blah. Ceci says fine, fine whatever. She’s being sensible, asking what Azul is going to do? Where is she going to live? Azul won’t be dissuaded, because she is in loooooove.

The love theme plays while we see Diego go and look for work at every Men’s Wearhouse in Mexico. He keeps getting turned down. He’s still driving the Mustang, I guess he isn’t ready to renounce it all just yet.

Azul enters Mo’s house to find Leo bringing a suitcase downstairs, she says it’s for Mo, who has to take an urgent business trip. Azul says she needs to speak with him, also urgently. He comes down just then. He looks horrible, but denies being sick. Azul wants to tell him something important, but he says he doesn’t have time and just walks past her and out. I guess somebody said he was going to Houston, because Azul asks Leo what he has to do there. Leo haughtily says she doesn’t know, she doesn’t have the right to ask about his business. So here’s what I think – he has some mysterious disease that he gets treated by some doctor in Houston and he never told Azul about it. Perhaps this rare disease is what he is also having GSD try and find a cure for. What I don’t know is how Burgay and Eva are so interested in the cure to the same thing. Unless it’s AIDS or something like that, but GSD would surely have recognized the HIV virus if he’s so awesome as Emilia keeps telling him he is. Leo also lies to Azul, telling her that Mo isn’t sick. Azul tells Leo that she doesn’t think she’ll be coming back here to work, and says goodbye. Leo smiles at this news.

Diego poses next to his fly car while he calls Perla on his cell phone. He asks for Don Chucho. He asks DC if he can come back to work at the store. DC agrees to meet apparently, Diego says he’ll see him soon. As soon as he hangs up Abuelo’s Buddy calls and wants Diego to visit. Diego says he has to talk to Chucho, Buddy says to bring him over too. Diego says he’ll see what he can do.

Azul puts a huge hug on Emilia, who wants to know what she’s so happy about. Emilia must be turning over a new leaf, she is wearing a skirt and top today rather than her usual hoochie pants. Azul says she’s in love, Emilia thinks it’s Mo, but Azul says no, with Diego. Emilia doesn’t look so approving, so she has Azul sit down and explain everything. Azul tells her a very short version of the story. Emilia wants to know if she spoke with Mo yet, no he’s in Houston. Emilia turns into Ceci v2.0 – “where are you going to work?” Emilia doesn’t seem at all pleased with her answers, she tells Azul that it isn’t so easy to find work. Emilia asks if Azul knows who Morticia is, Azul says yes, she lost her son in the accident. Emilia says she shouldn’t tell her this, but… did she know that Morticia was the girlfriend of Diego? What a bitch. What does that have to do with anything? Anyway, predictably, Azul is impactada.

Don Chucho tells Diego that the guy they hired to replace him doesn’t sell as well as Diego did, but at least he’s there and not out on the street all the time. BURN! Diego says he has been looking for work, but there isn’t any, it has been redificil (there’s that re- prefix again). DC wants to know why he’s looking for work. Diego tells him that he’s boinking the boss’s girlfriend so they both have to quit. DC wants to know if he’s really sure he wants to throw everything away for a woman? Diego says he’s sure, with all the certainty of a 15 year old girl who is certain that her high school boyfriend will one day be her husband. That is to say, TOTAL certainty. Blissful ignorance. DC preaches caution. They are interrupted by Buddy, who greets them excitedly. DC says all that is missing is Abuelo. They are all sad.

Azul wants to know more but Emilia says she can’t say more since Morticia is her patient. Azul wants to know, then, why did she say anything at all? (I agree) Emilia says because Azul is her friend. She says Azul needs to know everything to make the right decision. Azul isn’t pleased and Emilia tries to act like she’s her mother. I can’t take Emilia seriously after the way she threw herself at GSD. I guess she has the right to throw herself wherever she wants, but jeez.

Diego finds a listing in the paper for someone with experience in public relations, excellent salary. Buddy and DC are excited for him.

Diego is suddenly at the place handing over his resume and interviewing. The interviewer compliments him and asks if he is experienced. Diego says yes and hands over Burgay’s card as a reference. He is bluffing his way through the interview, giving vague answers when the guy wants to know what kind of business it was. Finally, when he asks what his tasks are, he can answer saying that he is attending an important executive. The guy asks how much he made, Diego says $400k pesos. Why would he want to leave that? Personal reasons. The guy hands the card back and says they won’t waste any more time. He tells Diego to go get a haircut or something, this must be some dicho I’m not familiar with. He’s telling him to take a hike.

Diego retreats to the billar and greets Flava Flav. He asks for Isela, she’s not around. He tells Flav what’s going on with Azul. Flav can’t believe he’d quit that rich job. Is it common in Mexico to announce to the world how much money you make? Everyone seems to know. Flav tells him to think about it a little more. He says the interviewer he just saw asked him strange questions that he didn’t know how to answer. Yeah, strange questions like “what does your company do” and “what do you do there.” VERY strange. Flav sensibly tells him to wait a bit, see if he can find some other work. Diego says, like a five year old, NO, he wants to do it NOW, start a life with Azul right NOW. Flav says yeah, but being poor? Flav reminds him that Azul’s family isn’t so poor. Diego doesn’t know what to do, he’ll just die apart from Azul. He’ll just DIE. Boo hoo.

Discussion topic – what is wrong with Mo?

Monday – Diego yells up at Azul’s window that he’s poor but he loves her. Then, Eva calls him in the middle of the night to hassle him. Non-stop action.

I'm thinking Marfil is telling Marfil she can't live with Mucks, Marshmallow, and Marshmallow's Godmum at Octopus' house. Is Pedro wanting her to move in with him but she's worried about her reputation? I've replayed this scene four times and I'm still not sure.

Mucks and Marshmallow are getting ready to move; Godmum is sitting on the sofa. Mucks announces he forgot something and leaves the room. After he leaves, Godmum tells Marshmallow that Dimwit called Mucks. Mucks walks in at the tail end of the conversation and wants to know who called.

Camila is getting ready to move out of Iggy's former apartment. Marfil and Pedro are there; it appears Mucks must have given the apartment to Marfil. Camila asks Marfil to retrieve a purse she left in the bedroom. After Marfil is gone, Camila asks Pedro if he's truly in love with that viper, Marfil.

Pasta is trying to get the police lieutenant to arrest Marfil. Pasta is convinced Marfil killed Princess Fi. The lieutenant believes it as well, but tells Pasta it appears Marfil has committed the perfect crime, since they can't find a body. Not to worry, sooner or later the truth will come out.

Camila tells Pedro that Marfil is only after his money. Pedro seems surprised at this bit of news. Marfil returns with Camila's purse and Camila tells her to enjoy her new apartment. After Camila leaves, Marfil asks Pedro if Camila was telling him lies while she was in the bedroom. Pedro says, "Of course not!"

Godmum tells Mucks it was a wrong number. She wants to know when they're leaving. "After Pedro arrives," replies Mucks.

Octopus is not happy about Mucks marrying a "simple secretary" and having them all move into Lunkhead's house along with Marshmallow's blind Godmum. Yolanda wants no part of the plan. Octopus points out that suddenly Yolanda appears to have grown a spine. Yolanda walks out and threatens to go to the police. Octopus calls her a cretin.

Emili-Oh, Caramel, Gaby, and Fidiota are all hanging out in Fidiota's office at Perfumes 'R Us. They are so glad that Fidiota finally fired ChewKey. They are discussing this happy turn of events when Dimwit arrives. Emili-Oh wants to know how her doctor appointment went. They all comment how pale she looks. Fidiota, too self-absorbed with planning a lunch to celebrate ChewKey's demise, also comments that Dimwit looks pale and needs to eat. She goes to call Nancy to prepare a fancy lunch. Meanwhile, Dimwit clutches her stomach and thought bubbles, "If only they knew I was pregnant with my second child. Mucks' child!"

Sylvie is washing the floor while Jorge is lounging on the sofa. He says she's boring. He suggests taking off her clothes and starts whispering something in her ear. Sylvie is aghast! "What kind of woman do you think I am? I'm saving myself for marriage!" She tells him to get out. She then tells the camera after what happened with Puncho, she wants to save herself for marriage. The doorbell rings and she thinks it's Jorge coming back. She gets the bucket of water ready and tells the person to come in. She hurls the bucket of water and it's none other that Camila, who is now soaked head to toe! Camila says, in essence, "QtH?" Of course, when you pause the shot, you realize Camila enters the room with her eyes closed before the water even leaves the bucket.

ChewKey is on the beach whining to KickMe (who is doing push-ups) about getting fired from Perfumes 'R Us. KickMe thinks it's funny. ChewKey doesn’t. She then goes on to gloat that Lunkhead is in LA making a movie, but when he returns in two weeks, they are going to get married. Gaby won't get to see him and now Lunkhead is all hers. KickMe tells ChewKey, "Seeing is believing." At first ChewKey is irritated, but then she realizes it's time to tell Roddy that Fidiota fired her like a dog. The thought of stirring the pot cheers her up immensely.

Gaby is crying over Lunkhead and flashing back to their ideal tryst on the island. She misses him so much. Dimwit walks in and changes the subject to her pregnancy with Mucks' second child. Dimwit tells Gaby she called Pedro's house, but Godmum took the call and said to not call again. Gaby asks, "What right does Godmum have to do that?" Dimwit defends Godmum saying Godmum is just protecting Marshmallow. Gaby suggests calling Mucks' cell phone next time. Dimwit is convinced this second child will bring her and Mucks together.

Camila yells at Sylvie and starts berating her, just like old times. Sylvie is upset that Camila is moving in. There goes the neighborhood!

Caramel tells Emili-Oh that Puncho finally has signed the divorce papers. Emili-Oh thinks that great; now they can get married! Caramel gets a serious look on her face and says that depends. Now Emili-Oh gets nervous. . ."It depends on what?" Caramel starts grinning and says, "It depends on whether or not you propose to me!" "Of course I'm going to propose! I love you so much!" says a smitten Emili-Oh. Smiles, hugs, kisses all around!

ChewKey is turning on the waterworks and whining in that nasal pitch of hers that Fidiota fired and humiliated her. Roddy says there's nothing he can do about it. Fidiota can hire and fire whomever she wants. It's her company. He then tells her that he and Fidiota have split. "Don't worry, Papito! You've got me!" says ChewKey. Roddy tells her she's so good.

Pasta is still trying to talk Fidiota into going away with him. He wants the chance to recoup her love. Once again Fidiota strings him along by asking him to give her more time. What kind of game is Fidiota playing? She is such a rude goat! (to quote my husband). Has this woman EVER thought about anyone BUT herself? She sure is irritating!

Gaby tells Dimwit to tell Fidiota that Dimwit is expecting another kid with Mucks.

Yolanda welcomes Mucks, Marshmallow, and Godmum. She says Octopus has a headache and is resting. Godmum, the only straight-forward character in this show, says she knows good and well Octopus has no headache. She just doesn't want them there!

Dimwit breaks the news to Fidiota that she's knocked up again by Mucks. Fidiota isn't happy. Mucks is married! "Yes, but the child was conceived prior to Mucks marrying Marshmallow. Now I'm going to have two kids by the only man I've ever loved; this child will reunite us!" Fidiota points out Dimwit is still married to Diablo. "Diablo doesn't exist in my life!"

Meanwhile, Diablo has a handgun and is using a photo of Dimwit as a target.

Fidiota tells Dimwit the relationship with Mucks is over. "I thought that, but now everything is different."

Puncho appears while Diablo is playing with his gun. Puncho says he's found someone who can get them out of the country. Puncho also admits he's given up on Caramel; Diablo needs to give up on Dimwit. Diablo says if he can't have Dimwit, neither will Mucks!

ChewKey is lounging in Roddy's office when Granny M comes in. ChewKey tries to intimidate Granny M, but Granny M is not backing down this time. Lots of insults are exchanged, with lots of yelling, and ChewKey is grabbing Granny M and trying to hit her. Suddenly Roddy walks in and catches his little angel in the act! Orchestra of Doom.

Marshmallow is walking Godmum alongside the pool and defending Mucks. That picture of Dimwit is an old photo and doesn't mean anything. Of course Godmum doesn't buy it. Mucks shows up in his too-small white bathing suit (I bet it matches his white shoes). Marshmallow says she's going to change and walks away with Godmum while Mucks dives into the pool.

ChewKey tries to say the fight is all Granny M's fault. For the first time, Roddy tells ChewKey that ChewKey has no right to use force to throw anyone out of his office. HA!

Marshmallow enters the pool. She asks Max if he's sure he's never going to regret marrying her. Orchestra of Doom!

Sylvie is all but hysterical; She tells Emili-Oh that Camila has just moved in to Emili-Oh's homeless shelter. Emili-Oh is not happy. First he had to deal with firing crazy ChewKey, now he has to deal with crazy Camila. Sylvie then has a fantasy about ChewKey and Camila in a room with a bunch of cartoon characters painted on the walls. ChewKey and Camila are chanting, "We're not crazy! We're not crazy!" In walks Doctor Sylvie and Doctor Emili-Oh. They call for nurses Gaby and Caramel who put these big screws on ChewKey's and Camila's head. This is supposed to be scene of comic relief, but it's dopey. I was expecting straightjackets, not giant screws sitting on their heads. Even a giant screwdriver tightening the screws ChewKey and Camila have loose in their heads would make sense. I don't get it.

Roddy wants Granny M to explain, but Granny M asks what's the point? She leaves and ChewKey plays the victim card. "Everyone is out to get me!" feigns ChewKey. Roddy seems to be convinced ChewKey is right.

Marshmallow is begging Mucks to be honest with her about Dimwit. She doesn't mind the fact Mucks has a history with Dimwit, she just doesn't want him lying about it. Mucks lies that he wants to get back with Dimwit and changes the subject. Marshmallow is really trying my patience. She knows Mucks doesn't love her, but she keeps needling him about it. I want to slap her and tell her to wake up! Move on! He's just not that into you!

The lieutenant is questioning Octopus about the whereabouts of Iggy and Diablo. She refers to the police being incompetent. The lieutenant assures her that sooner or later, all criminals are caught. Even when it comes to old cases like Licencio Reynosa! Octopus gloats after the lieutenant leaves that no one will ever prove she killed Reynosa.

Marfil comes to visit Dimwit at Psycho Mansion. Pedro is her good friend and told her Marshmallow is planning to have Mucks' kid. Dimwit is impactada. Fidiota appears and tells Marfil to leave. Marfil gloats some more and leaves, as Dimwit is obviously impactada. After Marfil is gone, Dimwit tells Fidiota that Mucks and Marshmallow want to have a kid. Pobre de Dimwit.

The lieutenant is talking to Yolanda and Mucks about one of the various crimes on this show. I can't tell which one.

Fidiota is trying to cheer Dimwit up. How does Dimwit know Marfil isn't just lying in order to get a rise out of Dimwit? If it's true, however, Marshmallow would be in a better bargaining position; especially if Marshmallow's pregnant!

Sylvie is talking to Gaby. She's got to find a way to get Fidiota and Roddy back together. Suddenly she has a great idea, despite Gaby's protests. Sylvie runs out of the room excited!

More of Dimwit whining about Mucks. Someone, please shoot me!

ChewKey is impressed with herself for continuing to pull the wool over Roddy's eyes. She needs to share her success with KickMe!

Fidiota thinks Dimwit should tell Mucks the truth, even if Mucks plans on knocking up Marshmallow.

ChewKey is telling KickMe how good a job she's doing at being a sea hag to all the women on the show. This seems to please KickMe. He loves how bad she is!

Granny M and Fidiota are talking. Fidiota tells Granny M Dimwit is pregnant again and Dimwit wants Mucks back. They seem to think it's OK to go after Mucks since he doesn't really love Marshmallow. The fact this could hurt Marshmallow is lost on them. Granny M tells Fidiota about the run-in with ChewKey at Roddy's office. Fidiota tells Granny M to quit trying to get Roddy and her (Fidiota) back together. It's not going to happen.

Puncho returns to the hideout looking for Diablo. Where has Diablo gone?

Dimwit calls Pedro looking for Mucks. Pedro tells Dimwit Mucks moved in with Octopus. Dimwit asks Pedro to not say a word to Marshmallow about her calling.

Diablo is following Dimwit's SUV. Uh Oh; looks like trouble!

Gaby is staring at Lunkhead's picture and flashing back to her first time with him. He was her first and made her a woman. Their love theme plays.

Dimwit leaves a message on Mucks's cell phone. She wants him to call her back ASAP; it's important. She'll be waiting for his call at the mall. She walks in and Diablo is in hot pursuit. Diablo is wearing his best Indiana Pacer's baseball cap. Dimwit obliviously gets on an elevator and Diablo follows her in. When the door closes, he pulls a gun on her.

Credits roll.

Diana has a heart-to-heart talk with Fedora. It's now time for her to have some happiness for once. Even though Marcela is a nice girl, she owes it to herself and Maxito to get Papa back.

Isabel--yes, it was indeed Isabel we saw last week as a homeless woman--is scavenging at a dumpster. She is completely filthy and is wearing hideous fake teeth. She certainly hit the skids quickly. Iggy comes along looking for a place to hide. They recognize each other and commiserate at how far they've fallen. Isabel apparently has been released from prison (isn't it a little fast? This time she was paying for the crime of poisoning Diana, right?) and has no family and of course no nursing license. She offers Iggy a place to stay in her abandoned shack. (She seems to have found some squatter's quarters.) She cackles a lot and reveals her hideous teeth. At least she has teeth--unlike Pedro.

Diego is driving around looking for a place to hide. The phone rings, and it's Pancholon calling from the warehouse with the big fan. Good thing he called says Diego--he needs a place to hide. Didn't he already know where Pancho was? Duh.

Granny M and Lala lament more about the miscreant Suarez sons. But Lala doesn't have the heart to turn them in. Both sons are fugitives (profugos).

Max is in bed with Marcela again. She is babbling about having a baby. His mind is wandering to Dimwit again.

Fedora, Gaby, Diana, and Nancy discuss Diego. He used to be so nice, but then he changed. Even Nancy now admits she no longer loves him--not since Fedora threw him out of the house. Well, at least we know how that storyline resolves. I hope they find someone for her.

Diego is at the warehouse. Pancho says he should have killed Iggy. Diego wants to know if they are completely safe. Sure, Pancho says. He has Gaviota wrapped around his little finger. She's going to finance their escape to a new life. Diego doesn't want any part of it--not while Diana would be free to marry that "imbecil Irascible." Say it again, "imbecil Irascible." Remember, when Diego speaks, those two words always go together.
Pancho counsels him to forget Dimwit, but Iago--I mean Diego--wants her dead.

Gaby and Diana discuss Diana's poor appetite. Nancy's fried chicken made her sick. All food repulses her right now. Uh-oh. She is going to get fresh air.

Marfil and Camila plot about how Marfil will get Pedro and his money. Even Camila is surprised at this caper, but Marfil says she must throw scruples out the window when this much money is at stake. New vocab for Pedro: vejestorio--or very old person, dodderer.

Max tells Pedro that Marcela wants a baby. Pedro tells him to get her pregnant. Max says they are leaving for the other house as Marcela deserves to be happy.

Diana goes to the doctor for blood tests.

Fedora goes to her office, and Roddy is there trying to make up. This effort fails again, owing to his failure to see his daughter for the devil-doll that she is.

Caramelo goes to see Pancho at the warehouse to sign divorce papers. They have a bittersweet farewell. She says they are through. After she leaves, Diego asks how Pancho could have signed. Diego will never give Diana a divorce, never! Pancho, showing surprising wisdom, explains that he and Diego are different--Diego hates Diana but Pancho loves Caramelo, and he wants her to be happy, so he is willing to give her up. (There's another difference, too, I think--although Pancho started out as the bad brother, I think he has never killed anyone in cold blood, unlike Diego.)

Marcela now asks Max why she found a picture of Diana among his clothes (I guess she was packing for the move.) Max says that even though she is his wife, he doesn't want her searching his clothes.

The doctor gives Diana the results of her blood tests in the middle of the hospital corridor in front of the nurse's station. He says all her results are normal--but there's one thing he doesn't know how to tell her--she is pregnant. She confirms she suspected it. Is Max the father again? Didn't he just marry another woman? Yes. She asks him not to tell anyone. He promises to keep her confidence (except for having blabbed in front of the entire staff).

Emilio counsels Fedora not to lose Roddy because of pride.

Diana calls Gaby to tell her she's pregnant. Yes, it's from the one time Max forced her. Gee, Gaby says, you must be the most fertile girl in the world. Diana is joyous about the baby. No she wouldn't have an abortion. Diana asks Gaby not to tell Fedora the good news.

Now Gaby drifts into a reverie about Larry. How happy they were for a short time. If only he had left her with a baby.

Gaby's reverie is interrupted by the arrival of Chucky, who tells Gaby--the lagartija, or lizard--to leave her desk alone. Again we wonder why Sharon hadn't been fired before. Anyway, Gaby tells her the desk is hers again. Fedora comes in and finally fires Sharon's ass. A struggle ensues, and Emilio has to carry her out! But not before she taunts them about having ruined Fedora's marriage and stealing Larry.

Marfil and Pedro flirt. he says he has done nothing but think of her for two days. He sounds like a besotted nicompoop. There's something about his delivery that is fascinating.
She gives a smirky-faced head tilt (different from Dimwit glassy-eyed head tilt, as there is an indication of brain activity).

Diana tries to call Max about the baby, but Godmother intercepts the call. She says she will not permit any calls from Diana to Max. Then when she tries to tell Marcela about it, Max overhears. What call? he asks. Credits roll.

We start with a repeat of the end of yesterday's episode. I'm going to cheat by cutting and pasting 5Ft's recap, since she seems to understand the exchanges better than me:

Mauricio's office: Leo comes in and offers Mauricio and Eva drinks. She leaves and Eva says Leo's an intelligent woman with one flaw: she's in love. Eva fills in Mauricio about the conversation she had with Leo earlier--except for their deal. Eva says Andres isn't brilliant and he needs to come back to the house where Eva will be watching him. As she goes to leave, Mauricio asks if Diego's waiting for her. She says no, but remember, he's going with me to New York. Mauricio sits at his desk with his forehead in his hand.
IHoP: Anibal says he and Paco fought a lot, but he never wanted anything bad to happen to Paco. He asks if Lidia knows anything and Diego says they had a fight. Isela doesn’t think that's enough reason for Paco to have taken off without saying anything. Isela goes to wait on some customers. Anibal tells Diego the cops have been looking for Paco for a week. Diego asks why Anibal fought with his dad. Anibal says it was over something stupid. Diego calls BS on that. Anibal tells him that he and Manuel dated Isela at the same time: eight years ago, after Anibal's wife (Paco's mom) died. Diego does the math and the numbers don't look good for Manuel. Anibal says he and Isela had a big fight and then Manuel asked her out. Anibal confirms that yes, this all happened while Diego's parents were married. Diego asks Anibal not to call his dad a "desgraciado", but then he agrees, his dad is a "desgraciado." Don't believe your dictionary, he doesn't mean "a disgrace" he means "a cheating bastard." Dramatic music plays as the frame freezes on Diego's disgusted face.

Isela is mad at Anabolic for telling Diego the truth about Isela's and Papa's relationship. "Are you crazy? You're an idiot!"

Meanwhile, Diego is leaving in a huff. Flavor wants to know what's going on. Diego refers to the fight between Papa and Anabolic. Flavor asks Diego, "Didn't you know Anabolic fired Papa from the insurance company?" I'm not sure if Flavor thinks the fight was over Papa getting fired. Whatever it is, Diego is off to get to the bottom of it.

Flavor starts hitting on Morticia and telling her how beautiful she is. He wants to take her dancing. Morticia isn't too sure at first but "tasty" Flavor convinces her. Azul and Diego's love theme plays.

Papa's Palace of Pain: Diego stomps into the house where Papa is reading the paper. Diego asks him how work went. Papa says he got off early. Diego then asks about Anabolic. "He's angry," says Papa. Finally Diego spits out that he talked to Flavor and Flavor says Papa was fired. Papa then asks Diego, why all the questions if he knows the answers. Diego then tells Papa he knows all about the affair with Isela. Papa and Diego get into a fight until Mama walks in and wants to know what all the shouting is about. Diego announces he's moving out and needs to pack. No one tells Mama the true reason for the fight. After Diego storms off, Mama wants to know QtH is going on. Papa says it's nothing. He'd like to take Mama out for dinner. "Did Diego find out about your affair with Isela?" Papa wants to know who told her. Papa then announces he's lost his appetite for dinner and walks out.

Evil Eva the Dominatrix makes Ivan the Terrible check for messages. He tells her only Burgay has called. She then makes ItT call Diego. ItT calls and gets Mama. Mama makes small talk with EEtD while they are waiting for Diego to take the call. EEtD wants to have a drink with Diego. They have a brief conversation about a chauffer, but I don't understand. It really doesn't seem to be a terribly important conversation. Diego agrees to meet EEtD. Mama tries to tell Diego to be careful. EEtD is a very powerful woman and Mama doesn't like what EEtD may be getting Diego into. Diego looks clueless. Mama doesn't want Diego to move out. Diego says he can no longer live with Papa, "But don't worry I'll see you every day."

Azul and Ceci are in their beds watching TV. Azul is mad that Ceci keeps changing the channel. Dang, Azul sure is annoying! Anyway, they discuss Leo and the sway she seems to hold over Mo and Andres. I think Ceci wants Azul to get Leo fired. I also believe there is some crack made alluding to how Azul managed to get Ceci fired. I encourage any of our viewers to fill in anything I may have missed in this scene.

Diego shows up at EEtD's suite. She asks if he's in a bad mood. Diego admits he is, but not with her. He's mad at Papa. Papa is a lying, cheating, ne'er do well who has been a jerk to Mama. Diego says he needs to get a room in a hotel, but EEtD prefers he stay with her. Diego doesn't think that's such a good idea. "When we're in NY, we'll have to share a room," says EEtD. Diego says there's no way he can go to NY. He doesn't have a visa or passport. EEtD says that won't be a problem; she can fix that problem in no time. Finally Diego admits he doesn't want to leave Mama's side in her time of need. "Is that the truth?" asks EEtD. "Yup. What else could it be?" replies Diego. Geez! EEtD relents, gives him a quick kiss, and walks off to take a cold shower.

The next morning Azul tells Mo she's not coming in to work if Ceci can't come with her. She has everything she needs at her apartment. Mo can email her if he needs anything. Mo says it's not his fault that Ceci can't be there; it's EEtD's fault. Azul won't budge, big surprise, and hangs up on Mo. Mo is mad and takes it out on Leo. I couldn't quite catch the exchange.

Diego is diagonally splayed out on the bed. ItT asks EEtD about the plane. She wants more time before she leaves. She then climbs on top of a dozing Diego and asks if he either loves her or wants her just a little bit. He replies he either loves her or wants her a bunch. That seems to satisfy her for now. She says she's going to take a bath and invites him to join her. Although he's half asleep, he seems to think that's a swell idea. It looks like EEtD has worn him out!

Azul is working from home when the doorbell rings. It's Mo trying to make nice. Azul is still mad; he's treating her like a 10-year-old by not letting her best friend visit her. Mo tries to say it's not his fault; it's EEtD's. Their business is very sensitive in nature and they can't run the risk of having a bunch of people in and out. Azul's tired of the secrets and feeling shut out. She finally tells him to leave. She needs time to think about her career. He says he'll call her tomorrow, but she corrects him, "I'll call YOU!"

EEtD is getting ready to leave. Diego offers to take her to the airport, but she says there's no need. She wants him to give something to Mo ASAP. She then says she's going to miss him and wants him to be careful. Blah, blah, blah. She's obviously stalling because she doesn't want to leave her boy toy to his own devices.

Close up shot of Andres tucking his shirt into his pants. Leo, of course, isn't far away. She tries to talk him out of leaving. He's tired of being held prisoner in the Mansion of Madness. He's putting on cologne and Leo is getting frantic. She's losing her hold over him. Lots of inappropriate touching which ratchets up the "Ick Factor." He then refers to her as "Tia" and walks out. She goes over to his cologne and rubs the bottle over her neck with her head tipped back in ecstasy. Finally she says, "He called me Tia!" and throws the bottle across the room and screams. Uh Oh!!!! Trouble in paradise!!!

GCSSD is sitting with a cigarette dangling from his lips. Apparently he can't get into the lab. He orders a sandwich and coffee from one of the housekeepers and is waiting, when Diego shows up. He tells Diego Mo isn't around and GCSSD can't get into his lab unless Mo opens the door. Diego thinks it's odd that GCSSD doesn't have keys to his lab. GCSSD replies he has keys to part of the lab, but not to the part where his things are located. He asks if Diego knows anything about the work, but Diego is clueless. GCSSD says he'll show Diego the area outside the lab, since only Mo can open the door. Suspenseful music plays.

Ceci is seated in a restaurant asking the waiter if they have any job openings. In walks Andres and I'm really wishing I was Ceci. What a pity Andres is such a psycho abuelo-killer. He's even smiling; I wish I could get a close up of those dimples of his! He wants to know what Ceci was saying to the waiter. *** Would you like a cup of paranoia to go with that psychosis? *** Ceci says she really needs a job and was asking if there were any waitress openings. Andres doesn't want her working as a waitress. He alludes to the fact it sucks working for people like Mo. She then mentions that he should quit his job. She tells him how smart he is and could do anything he wants; he should tell Mo to take a hike. He says he can't quit, but after Ceci starts asking questions, he says he doesn't want to talk about it. He says he's not like Mo; Ceci replies "Thank God for that!" They then start kissing. ***SIGH***

GCSSD is showing Diego the monitor that records what goes on in the lab. He works with bacteria, viruses, really cool stuff. Diego is impressed. GCSSD then goes on to say only Mo has the key to that lab. GCSSD points out how MO can watch every action taken by GCSSD. Finally they give up waiting and leave.

EEtD is babbling on and on to Burgay about how pure and wonderful Diego is. She needs Burgay to find him an equally pure and wonderful job that is LEGAL! She doesn't want her little boy toy doing anything that might sully his reputation. He's so smart and honest, etc. etc. Burgay looks at EEtD like she's totally lost it. Yup, she is showing signs of weakness. Burgay says Diego is just a dopey clothing salesman who doesn't know anything about business. EEtD's rambles for awhile until the light bulb goes on over her head. Find him a clothing business to run! If there was any doubt in Burgay's mind, there is no longer. EEtD has officially gone soft! She gives Burgay a big hug in gratitude.

GCSSD has decided to show up and surprise Emilia. She asks if they have a session scheduled, but he replies, "No. I just wanted to visit you. I should have called first but I don't use my cell phone. I can't get into my office and figured I'd come for a visit." Emilia says she has an hour until her first patient. They make small talk about Azul and Azul's thesis until GCSSD interrupts and tells Emilia how beautiful she looks in her turquoise Flashdance outfit. Emilia gets all giddy.

EEtD is still waxing poetic about her Diego. Burgay isn't really keen on the idea of her giving Diego a business to run. She tells Burgay it's not a request; it's an order. Find a clothing business for my Diegito. "Find a store struggling financially and make them an offer they can't refuse. I want this issue resolved by the time I return from NY." Burgay is skeptical, but what the hey. Whatever EEtD wants; EEtD gets!

GCSSD is still hitting on Emilia. He says how cool it is that he gets to work with deadly microorganisms and try to find antidotes. She seems to be impressed. Finally he says he doesn't want to talk about work any more. They have an hour until her first patient and her maid has gone to the market. He would really like to kiss her. She seems a little taken aback at first, but she seems to dig GCSSD. He weasels his way over to the sofa next to her and they kiss. Sappy music plays.

Burgay starts strong-arming a politician to find a clothing business in financial trouble that EEtD can buy. EEtD wants to get into the clothing business. Ramon, the politician, looks a little uneasy but apparently EEtD has a lot of dirt on him. He'll try to help as best he can.

Just when I thought I could make it through an episode without having to watch Piero and Lidia doing the "Leach-Lip" thing. Ugh! Lidia pushes him into a chair and does a flying leap on top of him. They are vacuuming each other's faces when the office door opens. It's Piero's wife, Lucia. The look of hurt on Lucia's face is pathetic. She calls Lidia a slut.

Credits roll.
