Caray, Caray!

At the hospital Alejandro & Fabricio are discussing the ramifications of Bertha knowing that Florencia & Alejandro are siblings. Alejandro assumes the loose lips that are sinking his ships belong to Fab. Miranda shows up and thanks Alejandro for his quick-helicopter rescue and Fab gets grouchy. Renata gets marital advice from Miranda.

At Casa San Llorente, Renata tells Gonzalo that Flo is in danger of losing the baby and has been taken to the hospital. He comforts her and they leave for the hospital.

In the hospital room Dr. Ben delivers the ‘grave’ news to Gonzalo & Fernanda, that it all depends on Flo’s heart being strong. Flo stirs awake and whinges out a couple of things to Gonzalo. He offers to let her see her mom and she says she never wants to see that woman.

Dr. Ben & Juan are discussing the hopelessness of Flo’s situation. They get some results back and see that she needs a blood transfusion. Dr. Ben is so smart that he knows without even needing to consult the inventory that the hospital doesn’t have any of that particular type of blood.

Fernanda & Gonzalo discuss Flo’s paternity issues outside the chapel. She asks that he put himself in her place…he considers it and they leave together.

Mama Amparito & Raul make plans to visit the hospital later that day. She blesses him as he leaves for university. Carola comes in, ready for her job. Amparo blesses her as she leaves for work. Hmmm…all these blessings she’s giving away, doesn’t she deserve one herself?

Cesar & Lisania are on the phone talking about the situation at the hospital. Cesar asks who all is there…the whole family. He “advises” (in his snake-y evil way) Lisania to tell her mom not to go there. She does so.

Renata, Miranda & Gonzalo head home to rest, bathe and change. Juan breaks the “real” news to Fab & Alejandro…Renata’s situation is critical. Alejandro offers his blood for the transfusion but then realizes that he doesn’t have the right kind.

Carola is at her job “exam.” She has done well and is a candidate for the job. The HR lady asks about her former job and references…she ‘fesses up and gets the job.

Cesar shows up at the hospital and he and Alejandro have a little dust-up in the waiting room. Fernanda comes in and tells them they can’t find any AB negative blood. Naturally, Cesar has the right type of blood and is the only choice available (in all of Mexico City, apparently). Alejandro is angry and calls Daira to ask her where the bloody hell she is and what kind of blood she has. It turns out that Lisania has the right type and he tells them to get down to the hospital right away.

Back at the house Renata & Miranda talk about Flo. Miranda blames everything on Bertha and asks Gonzalo that when she comes back, she not be allowed to stay at the house and that the past be forgotten. Gonzalo says they are going to talk about everything, including who Renata’s mother is. Miranda, talking to herself, says that although her sister is sick all she can think about is marrying Alejandro. She is afraid that if she doesn’t do it right away, she’ll lose him.

During the blood transfusion, Cesar is thinking how great this is…since nothing is free in this life and he is doing such a big favor to everyone. Cesar plants another seed of doubt in Juan’s mind about Renata. Um…maybe it’s just me but was Juan under any illusions about what kind of girl Renata was when they met, got to know one another and got married?

Charo tells Miranda about having looked for the envelope. They deduce that it must be at the hacienda, but when Miranda tries to call Gabino, she doesn’t get through. Charo also tells Miranda about how Flo threatened her. Miranda becomes even more determined in her resolve to kick Bertha out of their lives.

Roman visits Amparo and although she is initially indignant that he should come over after his recent confession, he ends up proposing marriage (in a direct and unromantic way).

Fab tries to defend Cesar to Alejandro but he refuses to believe that he has become sort of saint. Alejandro tells him that nothing Cesar does is free and sooner or later he will give him a bill for services rendered to Flo. Gonzalo and the girls show up and Fab lets them know that Cesar donated blood. Cesar comes down the hallway with a nurse, looking drained (ha ha) and everyone stands around staring at each other.
