Milagro’s street smarts are well developed but now it’s time for a serious musical education. Enough with the cumbia, says Grandma, let’s appreciate Beethoven’s tunes. Will Mili survive classical music? What does Sister Catalina/Sister Cheeks know about Milagros? Will her secret make her lose her appetite?

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

Once again Mili has to face Ivo. They’re sharing a roof after all. But this time she seems to have a strategy suggested by good friend and inexperienced but enthusiastic hairdresser Mariposa. Will it work? Heavenly houseguest Sister Catalina is leaving. The fridge is empty and we learn what planchar used to mean.

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?

Mili is dressed to kill, ready to go to the bailante to meet Lina. Bobby and Ivo are already there dancing. Ivo blows off steam by telling Bobby that he’ll have his grandmother get rid of the source of his problems, who then shows up. What will happen next?

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).

Milagros comes clean about how she found out about the bet between Ivo and Bobby. Despite advice to sleep, Cholito leaves behind her fútbol playing personality and pigtails for the Mili of the night life when she decides to salir a bailar.

Milagros, aka Cholito, aka Mili, gets glum about being a rata traicionera.
Bobby laughs it up at Ivo who now owes money to both Bobby and Millie. What better way to aflojarse a little than to go dancing?

Elena claims she only wants to tell Mariano about the bills, but if you believe that we’ve got a bridge in Uruguay we’d like to sell you. Mariano, well, he just doesn’t seem to be able to say the right thing. Hombres.

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.

Tomás’ parents are leaving him all alone for the weekend, and Juan is quick to come up with a plan. Violeta, meanwhile, is cooking up plans of her own, but they don’t involve Mauro—despite his attempts to woo her back with flowers.

Mauro thought he’d seen the last of Juan when he fired him from the record store, only to find the boy raiding his kitchen fridge! Mauro attempts to throw him out but his mom intervenes. It turns out that Mauro’s sister Teresa has convinced her mother to pay Juan to teach her to play the piano. Mauro is not amused.

Elena is absolutely certain she will not be calling Mariano, her estranged, cheating boyfriend. She professes this fact repeatedly. But when Vero drops by, still tipsy from the club, discussion of lonely reality has its effect. She breaks down and picks up the phone…

That mujeriego Mariano has really messed with poor Elena’s head. If we were her, we’d dump the scoundrel for Durand, the suave French lawyer, tout suite.

Sometimes if you’re sitting at home, depressed, stewing in a pot of emotional turmoil and angst, really the best thing to do is just go out and shake it! (P.S. If your boss looks like she’s taken the bullet train to Splitsville, we strongly suggest you don’t mention it… especially if you are looking for her to sign off on your French classes!)
