Caray, Caray!

Daniel finishes his self therapy by equating that money and love are related for him. He needs to pay for love because of lessons he learned as a child from his parents (Julio and deceased wife). He runs off to explore these thoughts in greater detail. Erika comes over to Raul's wanting to have a cafecito with him. Raul instantly kisses her.

Bertha and Fab continue their discussion. Fab thinks Bertha killed Flor's doctors in Germany because he had asked them to send Flor's records. Bertha laughs. She isn't sweating so there must be a loop hole in his thinking. Bertha tells Fab that she can do things that are beyond his imagination. Because he knows so much she is going to convert him into her accomplice, little boy (nene). He tries to laugh saying not to threaten him. Bertha tells him that she doesn’t threaten she promises.

Fern thanks Juan for stopping her from giving Flor the adrenaline injection. If he hadn’t been there she would have done something stupid. (Weird that a world class heart surgeon would need the help of an intern but ….) He says she is not only a doctor but a mother. She goes on to admit that the mother aspect of her is what caused the problem with Flor. See Flor woke up and realized that Fern was her mother and that is what provoked Flor’s heart attack. Juan leaves the room and Fern gives confession to the passed out Flor. Fern tells why she left the girls. Their father said that if she didn’t leave he would kill the girls, and her. She left to protect them. Flor should understand, more than others, what a mother would do to protect her kids.

Charo reports to Miranda and Alejandro what Bertha has been doing since her arrival. Charo says that Bertha is different than before, she is scarier. Al and Miranda tell Charo to continue being Berthas stooge. Al and Miranda talk of looking for a place to live. Miranda wants to live in the Mexico City mansion while Bertha is there. Al agrees.

Bertha tells Juan and Fab that she wants to see Renata. Fab is offended that Bertha is inviting herself over to Juan’s when Juan has not asked her. Juan scolds Fab for being rude. She makes a tsk tsk sound to Fab. She says that “Juan is showing that although he is poor he is a gentleman not a louse (patan). The same thing can not be said about you (Fab).” Fab looks as if he could bust out in anger, clenching his jaws. Juan looks like this might have bothered him but at the same time it’s hard to tell with him. Then Bertha tops it all off by starting to call Juan Johnny. She asks if it's ok to call him Johnny and Juan says Tia Bertha can call him whatever she would like. They head off for Juan’s.

Erika and Raul talk over why he kissed her and how they should start to be boyfriend and girlfriend. Carola comes in and says she hopes Erika will not be like her friends Renata and Veronica. Carola welcomes Erika into their happy family. They celebrate.

Miranda tells Gonzalo that she and Al would like to live with him while Bertha is there. He is OK with that. They discuss meeting with Bertha to confront her.

Renata is sweeping the house while wearing an apron tied around her waist. Juan brings Bertha in to see her. Bertha is impactada to see Renata dressed like this in these surroundings. She tells Renata that even Charo doesn’t dress like this. Renata just stands there with wide tearing crocodile eyes and takes in what Bertha has to say. Bertha tells her that she will help her leave this. She will leave this place because Bertha says so. After Bertha leaves Renata finally speaks and whimpers that Juan is not going to accept this.

Fern reports to Fab that Flor is stable, and the baby also. Miranda calls while they are talking and tells her of the plan to confront Bertha asking her to join them. Fern tells Fab to not tell anyone. He agrees.

Bertha meets up with El Guapo in a restaurant. He tells her they burned the fields and the workers’ houses. No one died. Bertha acts as if it is a shame that no one died. Guapo smokes a cigarette and tells Bertha that it’s bad to wish harm on your fellow man. Remember that what you ask for you might just get. She tells him to get ready to ask Miranda for a second time to sell the hacienda. Guapo interrupts her to say he wants Miranda for himself.

Flor wakens and Fern tells her to stay calm. Fern will leave and send Juan in. Flor tells her Mama don’t leave. I need to thank you for giving me life. I don’t want to lose you. Forgive me mama.

Bertha laughs and asks El Guapo if he has ever looked in the mirror. There is no way that Miranda would ever be interested in him. Guapo doesn’t want Miranda to be his wife. He just wants her for a night. He wants Miranda to know what a real man is like, not just some Ken doll like the one she carries around. Bertha smirks and tells Guapo to take her, she doesn’t care what he does or doesn’t do with Miranda. El Guapo tells Bertha that if Miranda disappoints him then there will always be her, Bertita. Bertha bristles at this, acting as if she is nervous. She tells him a dicho I liked. "La miel no se hizo para el hocico de los cerdos Herbert." Honey isn’t made for the snouts (muzzles) of pigs. (Also by her calling El Guapo Herbert, her familiarity with him tells me that she has known El Guapo for a long long time.) El Guapo continues focusing on Bertha. He tells her that she STILL (aun) awakens passions and fantasies in him. Bertha tells him to never her call Bertita again as she puts on her glasses. She also tells him to stop undressing her with his eyes. She tries to regain control of the conversation and tells him that she wants to teach Fab a lesson. She wants El Guapo to do exactly as she says.

Fern tells Flor that she has nothing to pardon Flor for. Flor wants no one or anything to separate them again. Fern wants to know how Flor remembered that she was her mother. Flor doesn’t know. She doesn’t care about what happened she just wants to be happy that they are now together. She won’t permit anyone to say anything bad about her mother anymore. She understands s what Fern did for her daughters. They thank each other and cry together.

Daira and AL talk over the honeymoon. Daira gets mad at Al for not telling Miranda the truth and for leaving so much for later. Daira feels that something bad is going to happen. She is very upset about her bad premonitions. Luciano enters bringing news that the plane had a mechanical problem (*what plane?). That isn’t what she has been worried about, it's something else. They start to talk about Lisania. Al wants Luciano to find a woman to follow Lisania. Miranda calls and tells Al of the confrontation plans. She and Gonzalo want AL to be there. Lisania eavesdrops on ALs phone conversation. After they hang up he repeats what Miranda has said to Daira, Luciano and Lisania who is still spying on them. Luciano warns that Bertha knows of why Al came to Mexico; to avenge his fathers death. Luciano believes that most likely Bertha will tell this to everyone. AL agrees. Finally Lisania comes out of her hiding space to say what’s bad about Bertha saying that since it's true?!

Flor tells Juan about her new feelings of not wanting anything bad to be said or done to Fern. How she wants to do good with the time she has left.

Nuria wants everyone to know that Cesar is her husband. He has excuses. Bertha rings Cesars doorbell. Cesar sends Nuria to the guest bedroom but she leaves her purse on a table for Bertha to see. Cesar immediately starts to threaten Bertha as she enters his place. He tells her he knows a lot about her. He warns her to not leave him out of the money she has taken from AL. She laughs and tells him that they are even Cesarin. She leaves and Cesar mocks what she said to him.

Lisania yells at AL about getting their money back. She is semi hysterical but AL doesn’t help because he is yelling too. She asks Luciano if AL is really her brother or maybe her father? Luciano tells her that she is showing a great lack of respect. She then starts to rant to Al about how Al wants to hit her. She says no one hits her but who cares because it’s her body. She reminds everyone how she hates them all as she leaves. Al tells Daira that Lisania needs to go back to Italy.

Carola goes over to Juan’s house to give Renata a message that AL will be coming by to pick her up. Renata is walking around the house lighting candles in an outfit that can only be described as a modern interpretation of a French Maids costume. She is wearing a short pleated skirt, her belly showing with a tied ruffled shirt. Perfect outfit for cleaning/ lighting candles. Renata’s cell phone has been turned off. Carolas there because Miranda called Rauls looking for Renata. During their exchange Carola tries to show off that she knows Daniel. Renata is unimpressed. Carola tells Renata that Daniel called her a spoiled rich girl which is the same thing Renata had just said about Daniel. The girls continue smarting off to each other until Carola leaves steamed at Renata.

Raul tells Carola that he told her he would deliver the message. He knew Renata would not be nice to her. Carola continues to lament about Renata. She asks Raul if she is prettier than Renata. Raul says they have equal bodies, equal faces but Renata wins for having prettier eyes, and for being a rich classy girl. Carola is pissed to hear him say this. Raul says look I’m joking. You have to stop comparing yourself with others and be happy with yourself. Carola doesn’t understand this and elicits some more advice from the wise teenager. Raul gives a few more wise pointers then goes back to his ruler. Is he an architectural student or a psychologist?

Veronica and Renata talk by phone. Veronica is not tolerating her HIV medicine and is feeling sick. Renata advises Veronica to get a job. Fab comes over to Renata’s as they talk. Veronica tells Renata to tell Fab to do what she has said (give her the money!). After the girls hang up Fab tells Renata that Veronica is blackmailing him.

Fern and Al meet in the same restaurant that Bertha and Guapo were just in. Fern goes over her happiness with what has happened with Flor. They then move on to the topic of the confrontation of Bertha. Fern says that Bertha surely has reserved evilness for them, but they have to confront her and find the truth.

Renata tells Fab that he can’t pay Veronica anything. She scolds Fab for messing around with Veronica in the first place. Then Renata communicates that Veronica will continue to ask for more and more money. Fab has to tell Flor. They leave together to go to the confrontation.

Cesar and Nuria talk about Bertha. Nuria tells him that Bertha hit her a lot when she was younger. Nuria has learned to fear Bertha. Nuria must have left the doll at the hacienda in another life. Cesar laughs at the idea of another life. He explains to her that the only explication is that she lived in the hacienda when she was a little girl. He tells her that she is the legitimate daughter of Bertha de Aragon.

Alejandro and Miranda talk while getting ready for the confrontation. Al tells Miranda that the reserved stock and the business is a gift to her. Miranda is happy but says he can’t give her those kinds of gifts. They signed a contract, the stock and business belongs to him.

Gonzalo tells Fern in his living room that this is the best moment for Renata to learn the truth. Renata walks in to hear the last of his sentence and asks what truth dad? Renata tries to dismiss Fern from the room saying this is a family event, and although you are my father’s lover, you don’t need to be here. Renata actually gets a little sassy about the subject making Fab nervous. Gonzalo gets mad and tells Renata now is the time for you to know the truth of who your mother is. Renata pleads that her mother be Bertha. Please be Bertha!

Bertha walks into the room to hear Renata saying this to Gonzalo. She says I’m sorry darling but your mother is her, Fernanda de Aragon.
