Caray, Caray!

Fernanda tells Miranda that the one thing Flor doesn’t have is time. Miranda scolds Fernanda for not being positive and losing hope. She tells Fern that to not to have hope is not a sign of a good mother. Then to raise Ferns spirits Miranda tells her that Gonz promised they could all confront Bertha when Bertha returns including TÚ mama. Fern smiles weakly to hear herself included and to be called Mama.

Juan, Renata, Fab and Flor talk over the newlyweds’ secret marriage and how Gonzalo took the news. Flor wants a party to celebrate and Renata offers to cook.

Fern dismisses all the people who are in the waiting room. Daira, Al, Fab, Pam and Miranda kiss Fern goodbye as Renata hangs back. Renata tells Fern thank you for saving her sister. After they leave Fern grins to Juan saying she has hope about Renata. I think she likes me Gosh darn it!

Lisania lies in Cesar’s embrace, savoring her post coital feelings. She compliments him on his skills while Cesar plays innocent. He demurely says that life teaches you many things and he has only learned a few of these things. She tells him she doesn’t want him to hit her again. Cesar explains he had to hit her because she gets so crazy! It was the only way to get her to listen. Ah shucks honey I did it for your own good. Plus you enjoyed it. Fab rings the doorbell. Cesar sends Lisania off to the back bedroom.

Pamela answers her door to find Alejandro. He says he has been talking to Luciano and Al wants to explain some things to her. “I came to Mexico to get revenge on Miranda’s father. Many years ago Gonzalo shot my dad, he didn’t die, but he suffered for the rest of his life. When I fell in love with Miranda I decided to set aside my plans but I set in action things that I couldn’t stop. I am trying to correct it now but things are complicated.” The doorbell rings and enters Miranda. She seems impactada to see Al and Pam together.

Father Santiago reads from Tomasa’s letter. As he reads we flash to a green memory of Tomasa telling Nati to take off with the gun. Young Bertha gets mad and threatens Tomasa with the lives of her children to get the gun back. Bertha actually tells Tomasa to tell Nati to guard the gun with her life but that part is confusing. Nati and Tomasa are shown taking the gun for their own reasons but we know from other episodes that Bertha trumps their actions by getting rid of the sons, and Nuria to make sure she has control of the gun. The green scene then shows a young Tomasa telling her sons to beware of anything that Bertha asks them to do. Father Santiago is then heard reading and that is the last I have seen of my sons. The Father wonders where is the girl (Nuria) and I wonder if she is still alive? He takes the letter, puts it into a large envelope and hides it in an armoire in his room. (This room looks like a hall, it’s not the office we have seen earlier so heck I have no idea what to call this room but the hall.)

Al seems at a loss of words to answer Miranda but Pamela steps in saying they are planning a gift for her wedding. Miranda falls for it and is happy to know they are planning a surprise for her. They decide to talk with a little help of some tequila. Al promises that he will tell her everything…. Al tells Miranda that everything is ready for the wedding tomorrow. They laugh and hug over their happiness.

Fern comes to talk to Father Santiago. He is in the hall so they talk there as the Father puts away some papers. They chit chat about her daughters and the Father offers kind words of faith. Fern gets to the point of her visit, saying she has talked with Charo and would like to see Tomasa’s envelope that Charo gave to him. He asks her why she wants the envelope but then gives it to her anyway. He warns Fern to not let anyone know that she has it. He says that Bertha is unique and wicked, she attacks when a person least expects it. Fern says she has to go and asks that the Father pray for Florencia. Santiago tells her he will but he always prays for anyone close to Bertha. As Fern turns to leave El Guapo, with the cripple arm, enters the hall. Spooky music plays.

El Guapo asks for help, would the Father employ him. Santiago says he has nothing but Fern speaks up saying she might have something. El Guapo immediately declines but asks for her name. When she says she is Fernanda de Aragon El Guapo says on second thought I would like to work at the hospital. I like kids and old people. Fern gives him her card. Fern leaves and El Guapo guilt’s the Father into giving him work cleaning the church.

Fab and Cesar enjoy some dark brandy or cognac. They really like these snifters in this show. The brothers talk over Fabs stupidness of introducing Alejandro to all the building laws in Mexico and to Miranda. Cesar asks Fab if he still loves Miranda. Fab thinks he might. He is a practical SOB. Fab says he dated Miranda for many years, besides Flor doesn’t have much time left. He is sure that Miranda still loves him. She doesn’t have eyes for anybody else. He just knows it plus Al is just a passing fancy. Cesar can barely control himself as he listens to Fab. He walks Fab out of his apartment saying he is expecting someone so Fab has to go. As Fab shuts the front door behind him Cesar uses his foot to slam the door shut and then throws what is left in his snifter at the door. Lisania walks out of the back bedroom to say she is leaving too. She calls him her love and doesn’t seem curious to why there is alcohol all over the door. Idiota.

Juan perfoms medical checks on Flor as she lies in her hospital bed. Fern checks his notes and then Fern flashes to a green memory of her leaving the hacienda “That Night”. Flor is very young crying to her mother saying where are you going? Don’t leave. Young Fern is crying and says she has to go. While baby Flor listens, Bertha enters the room and begins to chastise Fern. Bertha tells Fern it is all her fault for her lust and lack of morals. Fern begs for Berthas help as Gonzalo is heard screaming at Fern over their voices. Gonzalo is yelling for Fern to leave of he will kill her daughters. Fern comes back to reality and Flor wakes up saying she is sleepy.

El Guapo rummages through all the drawers in the credenza in the hall. Bertha calls and interrupts his search. He says he misses her. He hasn’t found anything there and wants to know if Bertha wants him to give the Father a thrashing to get the Father to talk. El Guapo tells her to hurry or he will stay behind with everything. He crosses his chest with his bad arm, laughing as he does and then leaves the hall.

AL and Luciano talk over how Pamela is theirs. Luc wants to know how AL can be so sure with Pam being the best friend of Miranda. Al argues that Pam couldn’t hurt anyone at all. Luc wants Al to be careful. Al then wants to know about Cesar. As they talk Lisania peeks her head around the corner to listen to their conversation. The men continue unaware of Lisania. Al tells Luc to not to overestimate Cesar. He says that Cesar has luck but he is stupid. As Luc continues to worry Al says that when he marries he will tell Miranda all of the truth. He won’t let one lie separate us. (Mark my words Al will let one word separate them in the future I am sure.) Lisania walks out of her hiding place. AL jumps up and grabs her asking her where has she been! After some words between them Lisania spits out that she doesn’t want to give blood to Florencia.

Miranda tells Charo that she will get married tomorrow. Gonzalo walks in the room, sends Charo off and then questions Miranda about the harvest. Miranda tells him what Bertha did, telling the workers that they didn’t want to pay the workers, and there wasn’t much she could do to save the workers or the harvest. Gonz seems upset to hear the details. He asks Miranda how she feels and Miranda answers that she feels like she has failed and disappointed everyone. But she wants to marry Alejandro because she loves him. If she doesn’t marry him before Bertha returns she fears she won’t ever marry him. Miranda tells Gonzalo that Bertha now has all of Alejandro’s fortune at her fingertips.

Fern tells Amparo and Francisco that Florencia is not doing well. Flors health has deteriorated. Fern wants them to go to the wedding tomorrow. She is upset to hear that they might not go. They discuss what to wear, blah blah blah. Fern leaves and Amparo strong arms Francisco that they will not go to Gonzalo’s house. To think of everything that man has done to them and Fern!

Daira comes into the house in a fury. She walks up to Al and Lisania asking whats going on and where has Lisania been!? Lisania smarts off and Daira smacks her. She tells Lisania to respect her. All Lisania can says is I hate you both! As she runs off. Al tries to console Daira telling her she has done everything she can. Daira knows something very bad is going to happen. Als solution is to take them back to Italy. Daira doesn’t think that is the way to go.

AL goes upstairs, where the stairs are lined with pipes without a hand rail. Strange construction. Lizania tells AL to give her her inheritance or she will file a demand against him. Al argues and they struggle a little bit. As they struggle Al gets to see a flash of Lisania’s chest that has a bad scrape. He asks her about it. Lisania covers saying Daira has already looked at it, and its nothing. She takes off again. Luc comes upstairs to talk with Al and they go over the possibilities of what is wrong with Lisania. They think it might be drugs. Little do they know that it is the love drug of Cesar.

Renata has made dinner at her happy home. Raul is there and invites Carola to dinner when the streetwalker comes over to the house for a visit. Renata is pissed. Juan and Raul question Carola about her new job. Carola admits to telling the employer that she used to be a prostitute. Renata over hears this and looses her cool.

Cesar gets the lowdown from Rebecca by phone that tomorrow will be a family gathering/fiesta. Rebecca doesn’t know the reason for the party but she wants Cesar to go. He hangs up the phone to Nuria ringing the doorbell. He opens the door to Nuria saying she wants Cesar to marry her tomorrow or she will tell Alejandro what Cesar is doing with Lisania.

Gonz and Miranda continue their talk with Miranda asking Gonz if the man he shot was Alejandros father. Gonz has green memories of advising AL to have no mercy on the man who shot his father. Gonz says he doesn’t think that man was the father of AL. Miranda asks how can he be sure?

Upon hearing her announcement Cesar entices Nuria to spend the night. He is very agreeable to her about getting married, calling her his love. Nuria then repeats their agreement saying tomorrow they will marry at the civil registry with the judge she picks. He agrees and says afterward they can go to the party at Miranda’s.

Juan splits and takes Raul with him leaving the two women to fight it out and that is just what they do. A couple of boring slaps and Carola leaves saying that a girl like her would love to have a friend like Renata. Renata tells her that girls like her don’t want friends like Carola. Carola is a NACA! Now get out!

Luciano still wants Al to sign the prenup with Miranda. Al questions why if Bertha has everything? Luc says it still needs to be done. Al notices that there is a secret clause (which I didn’t know about until just now and so don’t fully understand…) that hasn’t been opened before. When Miranda signs the prenup (or gets married) the secret clause can be opened. Al wants Luc to pay people, talk to his contacts in Italy so he can know, before marrying, what the clause says. Luc says he will try.

Daira tells AL that she doesn’t believe returning to Italy is a good solution. In Mexico at least they have his support. AL agrees then asks about the hurt on Lisania’s shoulder. Daira didn’t know of it. They realize something bad is going on.

Fab tells Rebecca that tomorrow must be something important and they need to go. They hope Julio will go but when Julio arrives he says he won’t go. Fab tries to talk Julio into doing something to reunite everyone. As Fab is leaving the room he gets his pensive stupid look on his face. Rebecca notices and asks what‘s going on Son? What are you thinking? Fab says Mama neither my father nor my grandparents nor you have colored eyes. From whom did Cesar inherit colored eyes!?!
