El Patito Feo is one of those tales told a thousand times that still amazes us. It’s Milagros’s time to go from Cenicienta to princess. We love when telenovelas read like fairy tales!

In this episode of Muñeca Brava, we strongly recommend that you don’t trust anyone. Milena pays a visit to Luisa ignoring the weird doctor-patient relationship that they had. Then Martita tries to snitch on Milagros, ignoring the fact that she also has her own share of dirty laundry. And there’re so many love triangles that it’s starting to look like a geometry class.

What’s that strange man doing in Milagros’ room? And is that obviously fake beard part of his disguise or a makeup slip up?

With each episode we get closer to solving the mystery surrounding Milagros’ origins. Meanwhile, Morgan (or Rocky, as he likes to be called) has to prove his English skills when facing an angry Señorita Victoria.

Why is La Virgen de la Soledad so important in Milagro’s past? Finally it’s the moment to tackle our protagonist’s mysterious origins. Meanwhile, is Ivo ready to ask his father some important questions?

Alfredo pays a surprise visit to Luisa who is visibly confused. Is Alfredo her psychologist, her friend or something more? Luisa doesn’t have any idea and the whole situation is driving her crazy. She certainly needs help, but who is she going to call if the problem is the only person she trusts?

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?

Finally, Ivo acts on his threats. He asks his grandmother—the refined Señora Angelica—to fire her maid Milagros. Why? Because Milagros is una cloaca, un desastre and, well, casi salvaje. But Grandma has some of her own ideas cooking…

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?
