Caray, Caray!

Juan and Fernanda are talking in her office. Juan whines to Fern that Renata is HIS wife. He is upset that Gonzalo wants Renata to return home. Juan claims that Renata is suffering from a cold nothing more. (Last time I checked in my mother book it said colds don’t have HIGH fevers but I digress.) Juan says it would seem that we live in the street Madrina! Its one thing that we live without luxuries and another if we lived like we were indigents! Fern tries to make Juan feel better by telling him that he will never understand Gonzalo. Fern claims that maybe when Juan is a father he will understand what Gonzalo is thinking.

There is a replay of Renata’s nightmare with Carola. (Makes me think we might see this cat fight later on in the telenovela.) Amparo comes in to check on Renata and says she is delirious. Amparo then starts to practice some weird home remedies that I have never tried on my child and from what I recall has never been done to me. Ive tried cold towels to the head folks but never to the feet. Could I have missed something in my parenting handbook? Amparo takes some wet towels and places them on Renata’s feet to help break Renata’s fever. Hmmmm.

Gonzalo and Vicente talk over the lost harvest. Meanwhile Florencia tries her best to guilt Miranda into marrying Alejandro to save the family. Just tell me why isn’t she showing! Where is her growing stomach? Is she really pregnant?

Pamela and Nuria talk of Nuria’s sensation that she knows the hacienda. She has only been there once before but she knows this house! To further her point Nuria does a show and tell of the doll she found for Pamela. The girls start to get freaked out (ghosts?) about the possibilities. Is Nuria remembering another life?

Miranda tells Flor that Si she will marry Alejandro because she loves him, he’s the man of her life. Not for any other reason. Their father calls and Miranda tells him about losing the harvest. He is comforting telling her there is always a first time in all things and she has to be strong and overcome this. She tells him she plans to go to the Tabasco Fair to look for a solution.

Alejandro begs Faby to not say anything. Al argues that it was only a question of time that SLI tanked; it wasn’t just because of him. Al tells Fab that he hasn’t cleared everything up because it takes time and he won’t shock Flor. She wouldn’t be able to handle it. He then tells Fab that if anything happens to Flor he will hold Fab responsible.

Miranda comes into the library where Al and Fab were fighting. They talk over their approaching wedding. Then AL asks Miranda to sign a prenuptial agreement. He says all three of them (Daira, Lisania and Al) have to sign a prenup agreement due to stipulations his father left in his will. She says she will sign it and more. Al says there is one more thing. She has to give him a child before the end of the first year of marriage. (First posting I put that Al said he needed a son. He said nino so that could be either, but Im still secretly suspicious that he wants a male heir!)

Al goes and finds Pam and asks her to be his spy (he didn’t use that exact word but that is what he meant). She balks at the idea telling him she won't be his spy and she isn’t his employee. After Al explains how much he loves Miranda Pam decides she will help. She will tell Al if Fab or anyone else tries to say something bad to Miranda.

Renata is feeling better. Juan comes home bearing flowers while Amparo is making her soup. After Amparo brings the soup and with Juan watching Renata calls her Mama Amparito and she tells her Thank you. Juan plays doctor with Renata, he listens to her chest with his stethoscope and this scene was stupid.

Carola prepares for a job interview when Daniel comes knocking on her door. He has been to see his psychologist and has talked about her with him. He wants to be Carola’s only client. He wants to be charged whatever, he will set her up in an apartment, with car, chauffer whatever. Carola says no.

Miranda whines to Pamela about how Al found her after the cosecha (harvest) was stolen. Miranda talks about having to do everything to save her family from ruin. Pamela then takes the moment to play devils advocate. She asks Miranda what family? Flor is in her ivory tower, your dad is trying to save his company and that is the only thing that is important to him, Renata has gotten married. So what family is Miranda trying to save?

Daniel talks with Carola and Raul. (Raul has just arrived.) They talk over their families when they discover that Raul knows Daniels family, he is Julio Bustamante's son. Raul tells Daniel that Renata married Juan. Daniel is impactado. He says he can’t believe it. He says Renata only does two things, one is to make fun of people and the other is to challenge (dare) someone. Daniel leaves after saying this. Carola and Raul are inspired by Daniels comments to see if Renata and Juan are having problems. They decide they will call Erika to see if she will tell them anything.

Fernanda goes to the Mexico City house to meet with Gonzalo. While she waits she talks with Charo. After a few minutes Charo remembers that Fern is the woman that Tomasa used to talk about. Gonzalo comes in and sends Charo out. Charo goes to the kitchen deciding to give the envelope that she found in Tomasa's room to Fern. She talks to herself as she figures out how to let Fern know. She decides to write a note and pass it to Fern while giving Fern some coffee. She does this and is dismissed again by Gonzalo. Gonzalo tells Fern that he doesn’t want to continue fighting. Fern agrees. Gonzalo wants to know if Fern remembers what happened “That Night”. He tells her that before Tomasa died she told him “Ella tambien disparo.” She also shot.

Al, Daira and Luciano are talking over what the investigator told Luciano. Lisania knew she was being followed. They decide to stop the investigator and then begin to talk over Bertha and the documents that Bertha has. Luciano confirms that the documents are as valid today as they were the day Al’s father signed them many years ago. Daira says she can’t believe their lives are in the hands of Bertha! Al says he doesn’t have any other option than to tell Lizania what is going on.


Miranda tells Pamela that she is not a fool for trying to save her family. She is doing it for herself. Pamela tells her forget that I ever said those things to you. I just care for you and see all the hard work you have done. Miranda says the value is for her, she has a clear objective of what she wants to do. Pam agrees and begs forgiveness again.

Fern tells Gonzalo that only he and Bertha know exactly what happened that night. After some more note comparison on what happened Fern reveals that Tomasa’s children died after throwing the body into the river that night. Fern also tells Gonzalo that Bertha took Tomasa’s granddaughter away after that night. Gonzalo is impactado. He can’t believe that Tomasa never told him, and that Bertha would take the child. Fern says it’s because Nati and Tomasa took the gun and hid it.

Fab whines to Flor about everything that is happening. Flor takes the opportunity to brag about how strong she has become. She talks about surviving her illness and being strong. As she talks she clues into the thought of what if I have passed this illness on to my child. (The child that is not showing through her tight outfits.) She then wonders which one of her relatives has this illness. She lists them all and none have it so she questions just who passed the illness (by heredity) to her?

Juan tells Renata about his new position with Doctor Cohen at UNAM. Renata wants her tour of the University. Then Juan asks her if she will take precautions not to get pregnant or should he? She is stunned asking you don’t want to have kids with me? Juan shakes his head as the scene ends.

Daira asks who could of told all of this to Faby? Al thinks it was someone really close because Fab knows everything. Luciano says that he is beginning to worry about this when Lisania blasts into the room screaming at Alejandro. She tells him to take the tail (investigator) off her. She continues yelling at Al asking when is he going to give her her money? Al says he won't give it to her. Why? Because none of us can spend a dime right now, Bertha has the designs and documents of our father and if she turns them into cash we will be ruined! Lisania says Bertha loves you. You swore you watch over us and take care of us! Al tells her he won't marry Bertha. Daira even tries to talk sense into Lisania but she screams she will never forgive Al if they lose their money and runs out. Very stable girl there.

Al admits its true he swore to his father that he would watch over them. Daira says you can't marry Bertha. You have to marry Miranda before Bertha returns. Al agrees that this seems like what he needs to do. He then tells them that Miranda will sign the prenup and will give him a son. They are happy to hear this.

By the way everyone is drinking cognac in these scenes with Fern and Gonzalo, Daira, Alejandro and Luc. That must be "The" drink for the wealthy in Mexico. Ok back to Gonzalo and Fernanda who are talking about "That Night". Fern tells Gonzalo that Nati was in her hospital and that Nati talked about hiding the gun in the Arbol Lloron (lloron = weeping willow, so arbol lloron could mean that or maybe weeping tree). Gonzalo tries to remember the tree but seems to think the name refers to something else and not a tree. He tells Fern his chauffer will drive her home and they agree to talk more another day. Gonzalo reminds her that all this nice talk hasn’t changed anything between them. Fern says she understands. Gonzalo ends the conversation by saying that when Bertha returns she will have a lot to tell them about what happened "Aquel Noche" that night.

Renata is still upset thinking Juan doesn’t want to have kids with her. He tells her it's not that, it's that the timing is not right. They should have kids when they can offer the kids a home with a yard etc. He suggests they be democratic and that for a period of time he will take precautions and then for a period of time she can. Renata is calmed and agrees. She then mouths off about not liking Fernanda. Juan calls Fern an extraordinary woman. He says that Renata needs to give Fern a chance and then she will see how great Fern is. He also tells Renata that if she doesn’t knock it off about disliking Fern he is going to have to get mad at her.

Miranda talks to God about how she needs to save her family and what is she going to do?! Arcadia walks by and asks what is Miranda doing. Miranda says she couldn’t sleep and what is Arcadia doing? Arcadia is doing some cleaning but Miranda wants her to rest, she will do it. They politely fight over who will clean what showing what a humble hard working soul Miranda is. They end the discussion with Miranda going off to talk with Nati. Hmmm what will she find out tomorrow?
