Caray, Caray!

"Why Fabricio? Why when I have loved you so much?" So begins this episode. Miranda lamenting the loss of her relationship with Fabricio. A relationship they have had since they were children. Fabricio tells Miranda that he knows he should of told her sooner but these things you cant say by phone.....

Bertha, Renata and Florencia discuss how Miranda will react when Fabricio gives her the bad news. Florencia feels guilty. Bertha thinks nothing will happen. Renata is sassy about how Miranda would have just thrown him away just like she does everything that bores her. They agree that Florencia is really just saving the man she loves. Then Bertha lets drop this jewel of wisdom. "Real love only knocks once on your door. Fight for him! Even if it is with your own sister!"

Nuria goes to the San Llorente house, Tomasa does not recognize her. Don Gonzalo meets with her asking what she is doing there. She answers she took the first flight there to bring some plans and contracts that she saw were left in the office. Don Gonzalo says the papers are Cesars responsibility and he orders for Cesar to come to the house immediately.

Miranda tries to talk Fabrizio into changing his mind. She promises that she will wait for him to figure out his feelings. Additionally she promises she will not let another man get near her. Please dont abandon me! Don Gonzalo gives Cesar a scolding about the papers. He tells Cesar that Nuria is very efficient and he doesn't know in what moment she will take his place.....

Fabricio tells Miranda that he loves her, loves her with all his soul but dont misunderstand him ... He loves Florencia and will marry her soon. "I hope you will understand. Don't act like a child! Don't destroy our happiness!" He leaves her and Miranda starts to yell at him as he leaves. " Don't you destroy my happiness either! I am not a child! I am a woman! A woman that loves you!!!!" Then out of the blue up walks Alejandro to tell Miranda "that's how it is Miranda San Llorente. You are all woman. But not for a child like Fabricio. You are a woman for a man like me." He kisses her and she calls him stupid. They have a little spat. He says "so much scandal for a stolen kiss?" Miranda answers in a tough girl manner. Pushing her lower jaw forward to prove her rabid toughness "I dont know who you are, but listen to me well. There still is no one born who has stolen something from Miranda San Llorente." Then she kisses him long and hard. "When someone takes something from me I take it back." She walks away and he is left smiling. Wow! What a scene.

Lovely garden party for Don Gonzalos birthday party. The don is shown having a flash back to a conversation he had with Bertha as she is telling him that Florencia only has three or so more months to live. Somewhere outside Nuria is attacked by Cesar for being stupid for making him look stupid. He yells at her then starts to kiss her and then begins to rape her. .... Miranda walks about crying to Pamela. She says she has lost everything..... Cesar tells Nuria to be quiet, stop crying. She is in a heap on some hay. "For a first time that wasn't so bad eh? The next time ...." She quickly tells him there wont be a next time, for that he can be sure. He tells her that he will have her whenever he wants...

Miranda takes off on a horse. Pamela yells at her. Fabricio comes to the house to report how things went with Miranda. Florencia worries about Miranda and tells Fabricio she wont marry him. Cesar comes into the room and asks where have you been to Fabricio. Bertha sends Fabricio off. Cesar immediately picks up on Berthas good mood. She tells him that he has an open road. "Fabricio finished with Miranda." He asks her to come to an agreement to enjoy the pain of whoever she wants but not Miranda. Bertha says "No Cesar. The pain of Miranda is my main pleasure." Snicker Snicker.

Tomasa finds Nuria outside crying. Nuria says she is worth nothing. Pamela and Miranda talk next to a waterfall. Miranda says that she knows that the only one to blame for the end of the relationship is Bertha. She believes that Bertha manipulated Fabricio equally as she did Mirandas sister. Now Miranda understands why there were so many trips to Germany, so Fabricio and Florencia would get together.

Don Gonzalo, Alejandro, and Fabricio talk business with a little brandy. Don thinks Fabricio is distracted and wants to be with Miranda. He forbids Fabricio to talk of anything to do with the wedding until they return to Mexico (city).

Bertha talks with Florencia who is in her room crying. Bertha plays on Florencias insecurities telling Florencia that she once heard Miranda tell Pamela that men only want Florencias money, not her. Enraged Florencia heads down to the party. Florencia finds Fabricio and they kiss and make up. Miranda sees them. They fight. Pamela puts in her two cents.

Cesar finds Miranda as she is reeling from her fight with her sister and ex fiance. She excuses him, telling him this is not the best time to talk. He complains that she has always treated him like this.... indifferent, when he has always loved her. She says well that is because I've told you a million times that it makes me uncomfortable that you talk to me of your love! They agree to be friends and have coffee in Mexico. He leaves and Pamela walks up. Miranda admits that she likes him less and less. Ever since they were kids she has been afraid of him.

Bertha finds Nuria in the kitchen with Tomasa. Bertha sends Tomasa out and corners Nuria. Why didn't you tell me you were here? Madrina Por Favor..... "Don't call me Madrina! Don't forget our secret." No one knows I'm your god daughter (ahijada).... Bertha then tells Nuria that she raised her to be a lady and that she shouldn't have anything to do with the maid.

During the garden party Don Gonzalo tells all the men (previously mentioned) that the hacienda used to belong to his grandparents. Tabasco used to be an inhospitable place but now it is a great place and good for tourism too. Alejandro is questioned on why he wants to do business in Mexico after so many years in Europe. Alejandro says he has the capital and he believes in Mexico. He is prepared to bring money - not take it with him.

Rebecca (I believe she is the mother of Cesar and Fabricio) is given advice by Bertha. Bertha suggests that Rebecca tell who the father of her children are or forever not say a thing. Either Or. Rebecca says its best to keep quiet.

Miranda walks up to Bertha. She tells Bertha not to be condescending with her. Bertha messed with the wrong person. Bertha doesn't back down and tells Miranda to watch herself or she will create a tragedy. They agree the fight is on. The Don walks up with Alejandro and introduces him to Bertha and Miranda. Bertha recognizes Alejandros last name and asks if he is Alfredo Luque's son. He is. Miranda tries to kick him out of "her" house. Alejandro refuses saying he is an invited guest and a business partner of her father. Don Gonzalo walks up and confirms Alejandros importance. Miranda relinquished her quest to kick Alejandro out. She then asks to speak with her father in the morning about something very important and leaves.

Renata and Cesar are drinking it up together. Cesar claims he is afraid of being caught, Renata talks him into staying and they start to mess around. Renata stops it to say good bye to the guests. Cesar talks to himself saying Miranda wont accept me but Renata will pay the price for her disgust.

Don Gonzalo remembers with a little help from some brandy.... Fernanda appearing to be kissing a man (Luque?) its raining outside. Don Gonzalo confronts the two saying he has it figured it out. He slaps Fernanda, a gun goes off in the air and a woman watches from outside.

Bertha comes to chat with Gonzalo. Bertha asks "Am I still an attractive woman? Then why dont we get married?" Gonzalo: "I have told you one and a million times. I continue to be married to Fernanda and I still love her." "Then that is why you only look for me when you drink? Right? When you are drunk you remember Fernanda?" "You will never be able to look like her!"

Miranda fills Pamela in on Alejandro and his kiss, Bertha, and all her problems. Pamela wants to get Alejandros attention. Miranda says go ahead I'm only interested in Fabricio.

"If I liked another man would you care?" Bertha asks Gonzalo. He laughs. No he wouldn't care. Although he doubts that at her age anyone would be interested in her. He says "You shouldn't have asked me that you should have asked a mirror." Whoa! With that news Bertha goes into a crazy stage. She rummages through some business papers swearing that Alejandro Luque will pay the price.

Miranda wakes to find her father has left the hacienda. Bertha appears to be making a plastic surgery appointment. (A doctors appointment for sure.) A taxi arrives and Bertha tells Nuria its time for her to leave the hacienda.

Miranda and Pamela tour a medical clinic filled with people that need medical and economic help. Fernanda is seen helping patients that are waiting in the hall. Miranda lectures Pamela that they cant turn their backs on these people. They need our help. Miranda then inquires into how they can help and who should they speak with. The nurse who answers their questions introduces them to Ferna Whoops! Doctor Fernandez! The nurse looks odd as Fernanda interrupts the nurse and introduces herself as Dr. Fernandez instead. The doctor shakes Mirandas hand lovingly. (Well folks it looks like we have another case of a mother separated from her children.)
