Milena is enjoying some theater from her private box when Santiago Ritchie appears. Milena wants the lowdown on what he found out about Amelia’s girls while visiting. Santiago obliges. Flavio sleeps.

Goods and services that show up on our urban doorsteps are the ultimate in convenience. Latin Americans love el delivery as much as anyone, maybe even moreso.

When we ask for two, we’re happy to get any, but Melina is a lady not used to being short-changed, abril bello or no…

The meaning of fascista is self-evident, but Southern Cone countries also use facho. Balas, of course, are “bullets” but in some countries also have the alternately slang meaning of “homosexuals” or “gays.” Balas and Fachos are, evidently, also the names of tv shows in which Majo and Gloria’s young client stars.

Gloria and Majo are still on the same job but inhabit different planets. Meanwhile Melina connives to plant seeds of desertion in Gala’s unsuspecting head…

What exactly does Soledad care about that fellow’s uncle? And is the former child star really concerned with the girls’ ability to earn a living? Stay tuned…

Gala says she is ill in the guardia of a hospital, but that doesn’t seem to be the case at all. Meanwhile, Majo is intent on interrupting her husband’s enjoyment of a good book.

Cianuro is, as you may have guessed, the Spanish term for “cyanide,” a poison that has long been used to propel dramatic intrigue. In Gabriel García Márquez’ Love in the Time of Cholera, for example, the photographer kills himself with it. Watch closely for the lethal chemistry cameo.

Majo’s daliance with a washed-up actor will soon prove to provide her with a little more drama than she’d bargained for. Gloria senses that his role might not be the hero’s but Majo is oblivious. Meanwhile Gala meets one of those cincuentones (guy in his fifities) that Melina has promised her.

It’s a slow night at Amelia’s little casa de tolerancia. Gloria takes off to see her son, Luchi, and Soledad disappears with young Carlos, who has once again arrived with a pocket full of pesos. Amelia finds that she has an itch in her stockings, and an obliging Raymond is beckoned to scratch it (while the great José Luis Perales once again sets the mood).

Poor Bertolt Brecht should have suffered with Majo’s free version of one of his most well known poems “Ahora Me Llevan a Mí.” Her performance not only disturbed the German playwright’s sleep but also wasn’t delivered to the right audience, was it?

Majo’s theatrical aspirations seem to have been crushed by reality. Meanwhile Gloria is trying without success to balance intimacy and family.

This classic Mexican western begins with a boy and his godfather discussing bravery. We all experience fear, but we mustn’t be dominated by it, says the godfather. The boy is just getting over hepatitis, and is eager to accompany the doctor back to town…

The Beltrans and the Landeros are taking over all the land in the area, so a friendly favor is asked: to keep watch over a deed title. Back in town, the young Valente is bullied by two bigger boys; but someday, the young boy swears, he’ll get back at them. Meanwhile, shopping for a wedding dress causes some confusion.

While Mr. Valente reveals to the shapely shopkeeper whom he’s intending to marry, his son is being tormented by bullies.
