Vio isn't down with that he lied to her, he's still married, doesn't want anything to do with him. He is not taking no for an answer, when who should walk in, wait for it, Flor, Marcial's wifey. And boy is she pithed. Accuses Marcial of betraying her with this esta. Vio says I'm no esta, my name is Violetta. You will respect me in my own home. Marcial doesn't want to air his dirty laundry with Flor in front of Vio, but Flor says she ain't going anywhere!

Julie and Gagme are in Gagme's office. Julie gets a call from the hunkalicious guy she met the other night, for a meet. He's Italian or the wine is. Anyhoo, Gagme gets a call from her informant, at the Torreslanda's , we all know who that is, on the count of three, Frigid. Frigid informs Gagme that Luci's Moms, Paz has come to pay a call on ole Rosa. Gagme is shocked.

Norma and Claudio are in his office and he is telling her how much he loved meeting Luci's family last night. It was like a party, their hospitality was wonderful and he drank some tea, and enjoyed meeting the people from the North. He loves her family! (Note to Claudio: I hope you always feel this way).

Aldo is at the salon where Vicky works talking to Nichole. Aldo is telling Nichole how much he likes Vicky. Nichole tells him to stay away from Vicky, cause it is causing her problems, effecting her work, and his Tio will not be pleased.

Max is talking to Pato, via the computer. Pato tells him his therapy went well, but he's tired. Max reminds Pato that Dr. Drexel said that was part of his therapy was to rest. Max sends hugs to Pato. Afterwards, Max calls Vicky. He says great your dad is back at work. How are you? Miss you. Click!

Luci has picked up Marianita from school and is going to help her with her homework. Mari wants to know why Luci is not marrying *dead to me* Rod. He's busy lots of work, can't be together. Mari wants to know if she used Mari's magic wand to wish with all her might to marry Rod? Luci changes the subject and helps Mari with her homework.

Vicky is at home, arranging some flowers in a vase, when guess who has come to call? That's right, its the boogeyman, oh sorry, no it's Aldo. She has opened the door wide and is now trying to slam it in his face. Aldo, however, has got his foot in the door. Vicky tells him she doesn't want to speak to him, and how terrible his Tio can be. He tells her to calm down. Vicky tells him your Tio could kill us. Well Aldo is flabbergasted, but he goes. Vicky is releived.

Het Het:

The Chisme Ladies are walking down the street talking about Copio. They run into Dona Luchita who says she used the phone over at Don Serapio's and saw Copio there. She tells the ladies she is diversifing her clothing line and something about her reputation. She goes and the ladies have a little giggle.

Don A is in his office, seems he has a replacement for Copio already and is mad the guy is tardy. He is starting to witch at that ring tailed cat on his desk when the guy comes in, I think his name is Babosa, but I have a feeling this means monkey, lol. Anyhow, Don A wants him to be on time, don't interrupt when Don A is speaking and now go and do what I told you.

Mexico City:

Rosa exists her white SUV all nose in the air.

Meanwhile, Magda and Estella are in the kitchen talking a mile a minute and Frigid comes in and tells them that Senora Torreslanda has come home and to pipe down. They just look at her like she's dumb.

Paz is still with Mati in her room. Paz tells Mati now is the time for the truth and to finally confront that minion of satan, oh, excuse me, Rosa. Frigid has taken herself upstairs to announce that Rosa is home, and Mati and Frigid escort Paz down to the library.

Rosa is in the library, and Paz with her head held high, goes into that library. Rosa wants to know who are you, and what do you want? Paz with her stiff spine intact says I am Paz Jacinto Flores, mother of Luciana. Well that shuts ole Rosa up, she has the deer in the headlights look. Paz continues and says, yes I am Paz, wife of Galindo, mother of Luci. Mati and Frigid are still by the doors and Frigid is openly gawking. Paz tells Rosa, you know very well it's me. Well, Rosa turns to Mati and Frigid and tells them to leave her alone with Paz and no interruptions. You can tell Frigid wants to hear it all, but Mati is the one that closes the doors and makes sure they are closed.

Luci and Marianita are still talking and Luci explains to Mari that sometimes reasons keep people apart. Ariche walks in as Luci is speaking and he wants to know why she isn't marrying Mushashon. The poor boy looks heartbroken. Now Ariche wants to know where Rod is. Luci says busy working. Ariche wants to call Rod. He wants Luci to call Mushashon.

Now back to Paz and Rosa. Rosa starts right in. I know why you came back, you want more money as she reaches for her purse. Paz still with the stiff spine is very, very pithed now. Paz says she doesn't want money. Rosa is not listening, and says por favor, as she is stroking a check and asking Paz how much we talkin' here. Paz says this is all your fault about Luci. Rosa says she never wanted Luci to return there, eva. Paz tells her it's the Torreslanda's family fault. Now Rosa starts the name calling, calling Luci a wretch, as she sticks her index finger toward heaven. Paz, with that ramrod stiff spine, looks at Rosa and says how is Luci a wretch, what cause she fell in love with *Dead To Me* Rod, and because of your manipulations and lies she got her heart broken. Rosa reminds Paz she isn't to tell Luci anything about her true past. Paz tells Rosa she knows she is a liar, cause Paz went to Rod is Dead To Me and got the whole story out of him, with the other two brujas you ganged up on her and told a bunch of lies and the funny thing is there was noone here to defend my Luci. Paz then tells Rosa she is a miserable person with no heart. Paz rolls up her sleeve, like she is going to give blood, and tells Rosa she loves Luci like her own blood and that Rosa treated Luci shamelessly.

Meanwhile, Max and Rod have gone out to lunch. Max wants to know how Rod is doing, really. Max is concerned, what with the divorce, all the work Rod is doing, not speaking to Rosa and Frigid listening at doors. Ha! Rod asks if Frigid is a necessary evil, they laugh. Max just wants Rosa to be tranquil at home, as if. He tells Rod to go ahead tell him, it's better to talk about it. He's his dad and will listen. Rod regurgitates all the crap about Luci being a liar blah, blah, but Max tells Rod, you ever think the girl is innocent of all this crap? Max thinks she is. Well Rod is just shocked. How can he think that. Besides she has a little somethin', somethn' going on with Linares, you know our #1 enemy, she was even hugging him in public! Now we know Max knows what the real relationship is, so Max tells Rod he was happy married to Luci not happy now, go talk to her, make it right. We're divorced says Rod, yeah, but try to talk to her anyway, so what if you're divorced. Rod says you don't know Luci and why is his Papa defending her all of a sudden. Max says he isn't defending her, just that Rod's heart wants what Rod's heart wants. Max tells Rod he cares about both Rod and Luci and wants them to be happy. Max thanks Rod for talking to him and Rod is grateful to have a listening ear. Lunch is over and Rod hugs his papa and cries like a big ole baby on his shoulder.

Magda, Estella and Mati are all in the kitchen waiting on Paz. Frigid is there too, making her disapproval known by that face. (Note to Frigid, hey hope your face freezes like that, jus' sayin'). Anyhoo, the ladies are chatting and Frigid is starting the insulting comments she is so good at, and she is harping on Mati. Mati leaves the room, with Frigid right behind and Magda and Estella make a joke about Frigid. Someone please comment about that, cause they sure had a good yuk.

Now back to the showdown. Rosa is yelling at Paz. Rosa is trying to tell Paz they are both alike trying to protect their children. Paz says no way, she tells Rosa she is selfish, she has no charity, no kindness. Rosa reminds Paz she is responsible for what happened to Luci too, in the past. Paz tells Rosa that may be but it's Rosa's fault this happened. Rosa of course says this is so NOT her fault, (were we expecting anything less?). Paz is still holding her own in mama bear mode and lets Rosa have it. She tells Rosa due to the bruja's and their lying they broke Luci and Rod up. Of course, Rosa is shaking that head, (Note to Rosa, oh, are your screws loose again, jus' sayin'). Of course Rosa is saying that is all a lie. Paz says no its the truth, and not only that, Luci only worked at that job, ONE NIGHT, and how Rod defended Luci against Lastra. And that says Paz is the TRUTH. She says those brujas, along with you cooked up all these lies. Now Rosa is name calling again and calls Paz ignorant. Really. Now Rosa is trying to tell Paz that Luci is a liar. Well Paz is so not having that. Of course now Rosa is in screaming mode, and screams that her whole family was so happy, until Luci showed up, and that Rod was gonna marry a great woman (Gagme is great, just wait) and because Rosa saw with her own eyes, how Luci essentially stole Rod. Paz aint having that. No siree bob, she says Luci is way better than that. Roselena, oh, Senora Roselena, it's your fault and you are culpable. Rosa is now swearing Luci will never, eva come near her family again. So essentially Paz says, who died and left you in charge. Rosa tries the guilt trip now. She tells Paz oh, you sent Luci here, cause your husband died, you have a mountain of debt, you have many problems and you really came here for more money for your silence. Oh, Paz is sooooo pithed, way beyond pithed now. Paz lays it on Rosa. She says for being intelligent, you are pretty dumb. Rod came and chased Luci, he came to Het Het looking for her, Paz tells Rosa that she saw Rod face to face and he asked for Luci's hand in marriage, and Paz wants to tell the WHOLE WORLD the truth. ( You go Paz!).

Break time and back to the other showdown. I beleive Flor is saying that Marcial is a cop, investigating the Inferno! Vio is beyond mad now. She rounds on Marcial and thinks he used her to get info about Inferno. She pushes him around and is joined by Flor, who does the same. Well, Vio ain't having that, and wait for it, grabs a skillet (Note to whoever talked about the skillet waving on another tn's comments) and waves it around, chasing Flor right outta there! Next she waves that skillet at Marcial and tells him to LARGATE! She closes the door and has to take a little rest on the sofa where she cries her eyes out. One of the best scenes with skillet waving ,second best scene of the night.

Now back to the other showdown. Rosa says the only truth for her is that Paz took Luci away, and now Rosa wants her to LARGATE MI CASA! Paz says she isn't leaving until the whole world knows what she truly is, that Rosa is not a good woman, she doesn't tell the truth, and she ain't no good mama either. Rosa says you don't know me. Paz says oh, I know you, you are a liar and ruin people's lives. Now Rosa wants Paz to listen to HER!!!!!

Another comedic break, and this one is good. Magda, Mati and Estella are all in the kitchen having a little coffee, when Magda remarks that kitchen is nice, but Het Het is better, cause of the fresh air, when Magda notices something, goes over to the door and gives it a good wack with her leg, on the other side that door goes into Frigid's butt and side of her face. Well Frigid comes right on in, calls them animals and that all Luci's friends are animals, and Magda, Mati and Estella are all trying very hard not to laugh.Frigid wants to tell on them, especially Mati, whose fault it is of course. Magda says I'll go with and tell your boss all about your listening at doors! Frigid backpedals and says on orders of the patrona you must stay here! Frigid goes nursing that face and Magda, Mati and Estella finally let loose with the guffaws. Mati says she wishes she had thought of that and thanks Magda. Third best scene of the night.

Back to the showdown again of Paz and Rosa. Rosa warns Paz of the consequences of telling about the baby napping. And by the way during this whole part of the convo, Rosa has, what I'd like to call, the manicomio look on her face. Rosa is laying it on thick that Paz wasn't a mama to Luci only for the money. Now Paz, poor thing, is starting to lose it, she is starting to cry (Note to Paz: Por favor straighten that spine, she is only messing with your head, jus' sayin'). Paz says that may be true, but I have loved Luci, ever since you put her in my arms, like my own, with all my soul. Now Rosa is trying to scare Paz, by telling her that Claudio has a relationship with Luci and what would Claudio think if the truth came out, about Paz taking Luci all those years ago? Do you think he would forgive you? Rosa warns Paz if she opens her mouth, there will be all kinds of grief for Luci. Besides, Claudio thinks his hija is dead, let it go. Now Rosa is trying to convince Paz it's too late to tell the truth. Besides if you tell the truth Luci will be lost to you foreva. Paz says you don't know my Luci. Rosa is trying to convince Paz, who she has by the arm now, to go back to Het Het with Luci and Luci will always beleive that Galindo and Paz are her parents. What good will it be to tell the truth now, anyhow? Besides she is laying the guilt trip on Paz, how this is really Paz' fault. Poor little Luci.

Melissa has come to see Claudio with her thesis. I think she put some finishing touches on it and is going to submit it. She thanks him for all his help, cause he was a big part of it, and he says you did the majority of the work. Claudio tells Norma he is going to Luci's and Melissa is going with.

Hanna and Boris are at school and I guess Boris is looking at the cd Hanna made for the project and Hanna is wanting to know how she did , when Boris snaps on her. She wants to know what's up. He says he's precoccupied. And what about she asks? He jumps right in and asks if she likes Lorenzo. She has a secret little grin and doesn't answer.

Vio gets company again, but it is Lorenzo and Fabian this time. She is telling them how much she was in love with Marcial and now its a mess. Lorenzo and Fabian assure her, she'll find someone better, when there is a knock on the door and it is Polo, with a bouquet of flowers for Magda. How sweet and bless his heart.

Magda and Estella are still in the kitchen and talking about Rosa being Mati's boss, and something about the devil, someone please clarify. They were still laughing.

Conny has come home, sees Mati in the hall by the library and Mati brings Conny up to date on the Paz/Rosa meet. Conny tells Mati not to worry. It will take care of itself. Conny goes off to see Pato, and he is happy to see her. Pato tells her about Luci going to therapy with him,he was very happy and Conny wants to know if Pato likes Luci. He says yes, and wants her back at the house. Conny says well maybe in time, and does some hand therapy with him. Conny also tells him, you will never guess who is meeting with Rosa as we speak, Paz the mama of Luci. Pato can't beleive it.

Paz and Rosa, meanwhile are winding up their convo. Rosa tells Paz that now it is in her hands, what to do. Paz has gotten her spine back, and says damn right, not really but Paz is determined. Pato, on hearing Paz has come to beard Rosa in her hellfire pit, comes in and greets Paz, as Rosa gives them the stinkeye. He says Dona Paz and she says jouven you must be Pato, and he says pleased to meet you and she says no the pleasure is mine as she grabs his hand and holds it.

In the best scene of the night, Ariche is in the court yard in the hood with a slingshot, when Rod has come to call. Rod calls Ariche's name, and Ariche turns around and wants to know why Rod isn't marrying Luci, while Ariche aims that sling shot straight at *dead to me Rod's* head. (Note to Ariche: Little dude you are one brave mushashon, but really aim a little lower, it will hurt *dead to me Rod* more and he will be begging for mercy, jus' sayin).
