Caray, Caray!

Miranda tells Alejandro that she's going to ask her father to return home. She reminds him not to tell either of her sisters what has happened (that she found out Fernanda is her mother).

Francisco, Amparo and Fernanda are enjoying a meal. They're all happy because Fernanda is reunited with Miranda but they wonder about the other two daughters who do not yet know that Fernanda is their mom. Francisco and Amparo want Fern to stay around a while. Fern says she's not going anytime soon, they have been her only family and they are like the brother and sister she's always wanted.

Joel arrives. He talked to someone at the metro who saw a woman matching Naty's description purchase a ticket to Tabasco. "She returned there?" asks Fernanda, "but where?" Joel says she went to Villahermosa. He's going tomorrow to get more info from the drivers.

It's a dark and stormy night. Squeaky paces her chamber watching the lightning. Slowly the door creaks open and a dark figure enters...it's the studly doctor Juan. He's happy to find her alone. They make small talk about fear of the night, fear of the living and fear of each other. They gaze into each other's eyes then finally get around to a long kiss. He's hot.

Carola tells Daniel that what he's suggesting is crazy. He wants them to live together. She says there is too much difference between them as well he knows. Even though he says that's not important over time it would become important. She never has been one of those women who sees their clients as Prince Charming (Principe Azul). She doesn't believe she will be rescued and taken to a castle. He says that with time she could turn into a princess. He'll go but he wants her to promise to think about his offer. As the music reaches a crescendo she kisses him on the lips. (Remember she wouldn't do that last Tuesday night!) He's surprised and she tells him she did it because she's no longer a woman of the street and he is very special to her. He kisses her hands and gets that hunky Marcos look he used to have on Alborada.

After Daniel leaves Raul, who has been hiding in another room, asks Carola why didn't she accept his offer. She says she's holding out for Juan, for when he returns. Raul says Juan is super ga-ga over another chick, seriously. Carola is bummed.

Juan is kissing Squeaky as the thunder crashes. He hesitates, says he must respect her and her house. She tries the old "You don't like me?" trick and it works, not that it took much effort. He says ever since he first met her she's driven him crazy, he can't stop thinking about her. She grabs him and tells him she's never been with anybody. "Then it's something very special. I hope it's as special for you as it is for me," he says. "It will be important to you?" she asks. (Warning: get barf bag now.) "More than my life," he whispers, "It will be my most precious gift." (Blech! See, I warned you.) That last statement aside, did I mention he is H.O.T?

Miranda tells Al she doesn't know how she can look at her father, how could he have done such a thing? She says her mother and Berta were in love with the same man, Berta told her that they killed him, she told her that they both knew Al's father. Egad, now she gets it! "Alejandro, my father killed Alfredo Luque..." (Sobs) "your father!" (Violins shriek.) Commercial break.

Miranda is still sobbing, "My dad found your dad with my mom and out of jealousy killed him. You know what this means? Our love is impossible. Leave now. Leave and never look for me again." Alejandro thought bubbles "I can't allow Miranda to suffer so. My vengeance must stop here!" More crying. "Listen," says Al, "my pop only died a few months ago." Happy piano music accompanies Miranda's smile. They embrace.

Squeaky and Juan are basking in love's glow. She says she never thought it could be so nice and she'll never forget this beautiful night. He can't say with words what his heart feels. They take turns feeling their beating hearts. "And now what," asks Squeaky, "are we friends, lovers, what?" Juan says from his point of view they are boyfriend and girlfriend. "But wait," he adds, "that can't be because I have nothing to offer you." "Let's see how things go," encourages Squeaky. He leans back to kiss her, displaying his 6-pack.

Miranda is relieved to hear that Alfredo Luque died only a few months ago, but she's going to ask her mother who the murdered man was. Also, she doesn't want to speak to her father. Alejandro tells her not to harbor rancour, Gonzo is still her dad. Miranda says he killed and never paid for his crime. Gonzalo San Llorente is dead to her, as dead as the man he murdered. Alejandro tells her he would give anything to see and speak with his dead father, so heed his advice, don't condemn Gonzo when she doesn't know exactly what happened. She tells him she doesn't see it that way, she hurts not only for the soul of the man but also for his family's suffering. Al gazes at her with adoration and thought bubbles "I pardon him Miranda," (he embraces her),"the love I feel for you allows me to forget the hate that has tormented me all these years. Today I start a new life at your side." He tells her to go talk to her father.

Gonzo arrives at the hacienda and tells Miranda he only came to get some things from the library, like the money she put away. She tells him there's very little left. She also tells him she doesn't want him to return to the condo in Polanco, she wants him to stay at the house. She plans to talk to Vicente tomorrow and return Gonzo's company to him.

Carola and Raul are planning to set up Sanson for a sting but Raul is worried that if things don't go as the police plan he could be putting his whole family at risk. "Don't think that or you'll 'throw the salt' (put a jinx) on us," says Carola. As soon as they have all the information they are to inform the cops, that's the plan. Raul says it's all his fault they are involved in this. He wants to take care of everything himself. As they leave he crosses himself.

Fern tells Amparo not to be silly, she should give herself the opportunity to to see if Roman likes her. Amparo is afraid because she's not like him, he's educated and elegant while she is common and rough. What if she falls in love and it doesn't work out? Fern tells her not to shut the door on love. It's better to live with the Wounds Of Love than never to have loved at all.

Miranda tells Gonzo that tomorrow Squeaky returns and what will she say to her if he's not there? "Tell her to run to her mother's arms as you have done," he whines, but in a very deep voice. She says she won't tell them about Fernanda, especially Florencia because it would surely kill her. Gonzo is surprised, he hasn't heard that Flor is so sick. Miranda brings him up to speed, expressing her concern that they're afraid her pregnancy won't come to term. She tells him Flor and Fabricio are shopping in Miami because Cesar loaned them the money. Gonzo whips his head around and glares.

Cesar and Luis Alberto are playing pool in Cesar's hideously ugly and claustrophic rumpus room. They're waiting for Luciano and gossiping about him. Cesar says sooner or later SLI will be his. Three skanky chicks enter then Luciano arrives. One of the skanks asks Luciano about the very handsome friend he was with at the bar the other night. This tacky but innocuous question is accompanied by sinister music. Then Luciano glances around the room furtively.

Gonzo and Miranda are STILL talking about him moving back into the house. Long story short...
Gonzo: "It's her house but wah wah wah it was my money that maintained it and now she wants back in."
Miranda: "I love you but she's my mother and she's suffered too."
G: "OK I'll come back but your sisters must never know."
M: "Agreed, I won't tell them."
G: "Agreed, but the new rule of the house is no more Alejandro Luque. You decide."
M: "Agreed, starting today things in this house will be as you say."

Raul tells Sanson he needs to know more robbery details, at the very least which bank? Sanson says he'll find out tomorrow. Rauls says he's leaving the gang after the robbery. "Sure, if that's what you want," says Sanson, "but not until tomorrow." Raul leaves and Carola arrives. Sanson kicks his minions out, telling them to go find some fun. Now it's Carola's turn to try to get info out of him. His response is "tomorrow you'll be driving the getaway car." (Nice bit of detective work Raul and Carola...NOT!) After she leaves he mutters "Those two just signed their death sentence."

I guess Squeaky and Juan aren't spending the night in bed with each other because he's kissing her goodnight. She wants to stay in Flor's room because it makes her feel secure. He thought bubbles "It's not good what I've done, let down my godmother by boinking her daughter. She'll never forgive me." In bed Sqeaky is thinking that Juan is wonderful. "When Veronica and Erika find out they'll die of anger. And stupid Veronica, I'm going to win her car. After I win my prize from her I'll tell Juan goodbye once and for all."

Cesar tries to get the bimbo to tell him more about Luciano's friend, like his name. She doesn't know but she tells him about another woman who does.

Miranda calls Alejandro to tell him that by order of her father he can no longer come to their house. He tells her not to worry, he'll talk to Gonzo. Just then he stops at a light and is attacked by Sanson's gang, the ones who are out looking for a little fun. Miranda hears them on her cell phone and panics.

Ick, Berta has just arrived home. Gonzo isn't happy to see her and orders her to tell him right now who was the man with Fernanda that night. He shakes her. She wants to know why these questions after all these years. Tomasa is eavesdropping. Gonzo says she better not pretend she doesn't know because he'll kick her out right now. "So do it," she retorts, "but I don't know, nobody knows." He wants to know what happened with the body. "I told you, Tomasa's kids threw it in the river and the current took it away, that's why it was never found." As Tomasa listens Gonzo tells Berta that Miranda knows about Fern but that Berta better not tell the other two sisters. "Count on me, you know how I adore your daughters," she says. Gonzo tells her he doesn't believe her sweet tone nor her stupid smile. He's different now and won't fall for her bull. "Fine," she answers," at last we can remove our masks." She suggests they maintain a united front against Fernanda but Gonzo says he's not interested in any alliance with her.

Miranda is still listening in horror as poor Alejandro is the victim of the longest car-jacking/robbery in history. Lots of yelling and threats, "Get out of the car!" "Help, they're attacking me!" "Alejandro, what's happening?" "Give us your keys and wallet! You're a dead man!" More yelling, then shots. Miranda shrieks, "Alejandro, Alejandro!"
