Caray, Caray!

I'm filling in for Nora for tonight's episode:

* In Spain, Karen in on her cell phone on the street, receives directions to the restaurant.

* In Mexico, Dolores meets with the jail director and the head nun. The director gives her the surprising good news that she is being released from prison on good behavior. Dolores is surprised beyond belief.

* In Spain, Paulina tells Juan Cristobal that she thinks her sister Karen has stood them up again - he doesn't care - they have a glass of wine and start to kiss. Karen appears and is surprised to see Juan Cristobal with Paulina; asks if he is her fiance - she says yes he is. Karen sits down and reveals each other's last name and father; she says that they are first cousins! Juan Cristobal is shocked; Paulina pulls away in disbelief and disillusionment. Karen encouranges Juan Cristobal to confirm what she is saying is true - he does just that - Paulina runs out of the restaurant. Karen tries to stop Juan Cristobal for a moment but he runs after Paulina.

* Out in front of the restaurant, Juan Cristobal catches up to Paulina and tries to make her understand but she is so disillusioned that all she wants is to get away from him at that moment.

* In Mexico, Dolores is still trying to believe the news that she's free - the director tells her to get her things because she is being released today - she thanks the director profusely - the head nun escorts her out of the office.

* Miriam and Soraya sit in Miriam's office. Soraya mentions the son Miriam had abandoned as a baby - Miriam tells her to hush up about it.

* Leonardo and Mariangela visit with Mayeya at Leonardo's apartment building. Mariangela is happy to see her old friend from their hometown - Mayeya fills Mariangela in on her fiance who she thought loved her but was only interested in her because of her father (it was an arranged engagement which brought her to the city). Leonardo is all too happy to see the ladies reunite and gives them both a hug - Leonardo is very enchanted by Mariangela.

* Dolores says goodbye to her cellmate as she packs her few belongings - the nun gives her support and advice - Dolores prays to her little pocket saint card for help and guidance - she starts to think of her son, misses him and wants help in her search for him.

* Demian vents his jealous anger to Regina for her conversation with Gabriel, and demands Regina explain why she told Gabriel that Juan Cristobal was Demian's son - she says because it is the truth whether he wants to believe or not.

* In Spain, Juan Cristobal wanders around the streets thinking about what Karen had said - that he and Paulina were first cousins. Meanwhile, Paulina cries on the sofa of the apartment and confides her anguish to Karen about learning the truth that Juan Cristobal is her first cousin.

* In Mexico, Demian and Regina continue arguing - Demian starts to threaten Regina when Simona enters to say that her daughter has arrived and is waiting downstairs. Demian is angry and can't be bothered with such trivial matters and leaves. Regina tells Simona she is more than happy to meet her daughter and leaves with Simona.

* Belen is waiting in the living room - Tiberio is enchanted when he sees her and introduces himself. He walks off to the side of the room as Regina and Simona approach. Belen thanks Regina for allowing her to stay at the house, and says that first thing in the morning she will be going to look for work - Tiberio interrupts and offers Belen a job as his secretary at the company. Regina and Simona are shocked; Belen accepts hesitantly.

* Dolores stands outside the penitentiary gate, still trying to come to terms with being free and ready to start searching for her child.

* Mayeya, Leo, Shorty and Sylvester visit Don Ricardo in the hospital. He thanks Mayeya for her heroism in getting him to the hospital. They tell him that Mayeya now works as a taxi driver for them. The guys give Mayeya a big welcome to the company hug.

* The nurse is brushing Aurora's hair and talking with her in the psychiatric hospital garden; Clemente comes by with flowers and asks the nurse if he can speak with Aurora; Nurse tells Aurora a gentleman is there to see her - she doesn't know any gentleman callers - Clemente sits down and asks just to spend a few moments talking with her and gives her the flowers. He starts to tell her a story of a young couple in love.

* Tiberio escorts Belen out of the house and to her first day at work for the company. Simona is suspicious of Tiberio's intentions; and thinks she better talk with Belen and warn her about him.

* In Spain, as Karen eats breakfast on the sofa, Paulina is still upset about Juan Cristobal. Karen tries to console her and get her to think about other things - to move on and find someone else. Paulina wants to leave and return to Mexico - Karen can't go, she has business to take care of for Miriam there in Spain - Paulina has her mind made up, she has to leave now and get as far away from Juan Cristobal as possible.

* Juan Cristobal is wandering through the park in Spain; he can't lose her, he can't renounce his love for her; he flashes back to all the happy times with her in Venice and Barcelona.

* In Mexico, at the palace, Gabriel is eating breakfast; Jocelyn is trying her best to convince him that she cares; she asks about Paulina - he tells her that she has something important to tell them; before he leaves the room, he asks about Mariangela returning to the palace - Jocelyn becomes angered and asks him why he asks. He doesn't answer and leaves.

* Mariangela and Leonardo are in the psychiatric hospital garden to visit Aurora. Leonardo asks her if she plans to return to her job at the palace, she says no, she is going to find another job, he is happy about the decision. As Leonardo asks why she left in the first place, Aurora runs over and joyfully hugs and greets her daughter, Mariangela, and Leonardo. Leonardo and the nurse leave them to talk alone. Aurora asks how she's doing at Don Clemente's house - Mariangela says she left because his daughter has a problem with her and she doesn't want to return - Aurora begs her to reconsider.

* Jocelyn enters the living room - Luisito is right behind her, annoying her with questions about why Mariangela left and when she will return. Jocelyn finally explains that she doesn't know where she is and if she doesn't return that it is all her fault. Clemente enters and offers to take Luisito to find Mariangela. Luisito smiles and begs Jocelyn to let them leave.

* At the office, Belen starts work as Tiberio's secretary. She goes to her desk - he smiles and thinks out loud that he will seek revenge on someone.

* Jocelyn calls her mom to say that Clemente took Luisito to visit Mariangela at Candelaria's house.

Candelaria gives Mariangela some advice before she leaves for work at the palace. Mariangela sits alone and daydreams of Gabriel and the rainstorm. She hears Luisito yell for her outside the door - she opens the door and Luisito and Clemente enter. They ask her to return to the palace.

* In Spain, the architecture firm manager informs Juan Cristobal that Paulina has resigned her position on the project - he is shocked.

The sister and her assistant discuss Dolores' situation and stay at the convent.

* Mariangela is still on her job search - and still not having any luck.

* Gabriel is in his car, daydreaming of Mariangela and the rainstorm. He spots Mariangela crossing the street, tells his driver to stop and climbs out and calls to her - she turns to see him.

* On the plane, Paulina thinks about Karen's shocking revelation about Juan Cristobal.

* In Spain, Juan Cristobal breaks free from Karen and is offended and horrified at her actions. He declares that he will forever be in love with Paulina and runs out of the apartment.
