Caray, Caray!

It's lucky that when Jacinta gets really mad, there's a cake available for whacking with her cane. Yes, we had another episode of cake whacking on Barrera. I'm just going to do the main plot points here.

We got to hear the Spanish version of the Happy Birthday song but instead of blowing out the candles, Valeria announced that she was leaving Jacinta's house. She is of age and if Jacinta is going to set the dogs on her novio, she's outta there. She asks to stay with Maite and Victor who are only too happy to accept.

Meanwhile, Jacaranda does her psychological experiment on Veronica. While Veronica is staring at the candles on the birthday cake, she reminds her of the episode when the police raided the whorehouse. Veronica runs out of the room, terrified. Later Jacaranda and Carlos the evil doctor conclude that fear is a trigger for Veronica's personality changes.

Since Valeria's announcement that she is leaving the hacienda puts an end to the party, no one eats the cake and it is conveniently available for whacking after Jacinta broods over it for a while vowing not to let Maite win Valeria back. Jacinta then goes to the stable to see the portrait of Federico. She tells the portrait out loud that now that Valeria hasn't measured up to the Valladolid name, Federico is even more important to her since he is Pedro's son, etc. etc. And who is hearing all this? Manola, of course. You can see the wheels turning - Federico is a Valladolid. That means Rodrigo is one too.

Right after Jacinta leaves, who should appear but Federico and all of a sudden Manola is making nice to him. No more calling him Don Nadie (Mr. Nobody). She tells him that he's always been her only love, etc. etc. Federico is surprised and extremely suspicious of this sudden change in Manola's attitude but he really wants to know about what has happened to Gustavo. He knows that Gustavo has not been taken to the US. He makes Manola take him to the house in Aguascalientes where they have Gustavo stashed. They send the nurse out and apparently do some boinking in Gustavo's room. Fortunately for him, Gustavo is asleep.

Andres says that he has decided to introduce Valeria to Unibrow.

Sergio is using his gigolo skills to get information about Maite out of the gossipy ladies.

Manola makes an appointment to see the evil doctor, Carlos.

Nicolas takes Jacaranda out. I guess he is telling her that he can't leave his wife because she is ill and ever practical, Jacaranda wants proof. Nicolas doesn't know how he's going to get out of this one. [Maybe Sergio could recommend the doctor who is making phony reports for him.]
That was about it, I think.
