Caray, Caray!

Wednesdays show begins after we see Miranda give in to Alejandro's kisses. We see Roman leaving the barrio where Amparo lives. Francisco asks Amparo how she feels. She tells him that its good to have said goodbye to Roman before she regrets things. Amparo talks about how she is getting her life together, going to study, so that she will find a better paying job. This bit goes on for too long until its obvious we are being treated to another public service announcement. The announcement is that as women, if we do these things and value yourself, then you won't need a man.

Miranda looks at the sleeping Alejandro. She tells herself that she can't forget, she can't forget what he called her. She has a flashback to him saying “Quiero que seas mia, Lilliana.” I want you to be mine Lilliana. She buttons her pants, grabs her jacket and shoes. She leaves while he sleeps, none the wiserto her escape.

Fabricio asks Fernanda if they should take Florencia to the hospital. (Florencia is passed out or asleep in bed as Fern and Fab discuss the situation.) Fabricio thinks they should call the authorities. Fern is a little on edge as she scolds him for not having called the authorities sooner. Fab says he didn’t call the authorities because he thought Nuria would return. Fern quips don’t you realize that Nuria is deranged? Fab snaps at her for scolding him and she apologizes. Charo and Renata enter the room telling the pair that they looked everywhere and can't find Nuria. They also report that they can't get a hold of Miranda.

César's doorbell rings and he goes to answer. It's Luis Alberto. César mocks him as he enters and Luis Alberto snaps at him. César is not happy that his employee has come to his house to snap at him. César begins to taunt Luis Alberto by saying Let me guess.... You are in love with my woman.

Bertha enters Flor's bedroom. Fernanda immediately starts to yell at her asking where has she taken Nuria. Before Bertha can answer Miranda rushes in and begins a verbal assault on Bertha. Miranda demands to know where Nuria has gone and if Bertha doesn’t tell her right now then she is going to call the police. She admits to knowing that Bertha has Nuria registered as her daughter. Bertha cries that everyone blames her but she doesn’t know where Nuria is. Wha! Miranda isn’t deterred and tells Bertha that everything bad that has happened to them is because of Bertha. Miranda starts to snap her fingers telling Bertha to pack her bags and leave. Fab interrupts the women and says it's not necessary to make Bertha leave. Bertha goes to stand by Fab thanking him for standing up for her. Fernanda picks up the torch and starts to yell at Bertha too. Fern tells Bertha that she knows that Bertha is involved in Nuria's disappearance. Fern reminds Bertha that the house is hers and for Bertha to leave. Bertha laughs at how quick Fern is to reclaim her property when she hasn’t even put one peso into the house.

César tells Luis Alberto that he is his only friend and this is what Luis Alberto does to him. Luis Alberto isn’t fooled and tells César to knock it off, he knows that César only feels pity for Nuria. César answers “Something is something.” Luis Alberto ignores this sick answer and goes on to ask if César knows about Nuria. He recounts how he went to see Nuria to give her condolences for her baby's death and how Bertha wouldn’t let him see her. César tells Luis Alberto that he deserved the condolences not stupid Nuria who killed his baby. Luis Alberto ignores this and he keeps talking out loud trying to figure out what happened to Nuria. César listens and thinks to himself What is Bertha up to? The men figure out that it was El Guapo who took Nuria and Florencia's baby.

Bertha laughs saying she knows, because Rebecca told her, that Gonzalo's father gave Fern the land, but Gonzalo built the house. Gonzalo constructed all this, she says as she waves her hand around the room, and you have no moral right to throw me out. Bertha claims that part of her is in the house. She goes on to say she is Ferns sister and they can't treat her like this. She cries to the group that she is the same blood as Fernanda and then she leaves the room. Fernanda laughs and tells Miranda that the only true thing Bertha said is that yes she is Berthas sister.

After all the yelling and discussion in the room Florencia finally wakes up. Flor is distraught about Nuria taking her baby. Fern reminds her that Nuria will looks after the baby like her own, and for her to relax, it will all be ok. Miranda tells Fabricio that they know it was Bertha who kidnapped him. Fab flips his lid hearing this. He tells everyone that now they are ALL in danger. He threatens them that if anyone insinuates the smallest aspect of his kidnapping to Bertha then they will be putting his child's life at risk. It that happens then the person who says this to Bertha will be finished by him. Miranda tells Fab that she understands what he is saying but to not talk to her like that again.

Lilliana and Alejandro discuss the terms of his release from jail. Alejandro can't leave the country and he has to be always ready to see the judge at a moments notice. They go on to discuss how Lilliana needs to be paid punctually. She is mother and father to her daughter and she can't be late on her bills. Alejandro asks her if she remembers telling him that after his case is finished that they won't see each other again. Lilliana tells him that is how it goes but with him, with him, things are different and she doesn’t know why. Alejandro shares that his mother was named Sophia just like her daughter. Lilliana freaks on the shared coincidence. Alejandro tells her how his mother loved Greek mythology and Lilliana freaks that Sophia does too! Can you believe that! Lilliana tells Alejandro that it wasn’t her intention to bother Miranda last night.

Renata, Veronica and Erika laugh about Bertha packing her bags and leaving the mansion. Renata weakly laughs telling the girls to not make fun of her family. Veronica tells her that what's going on with Bertha is not the only scandal. They saw Juan with Carola last night, they are dating. Veronica goes on telling Renata that Juan will give her a divorce if Renata will agree to spend a weekend together. Renata tells the girls she will accept his proposal.

The husband and wife Francisco and Amparo, laugh together about how much Francisco earns driving a taxi. Who would’ve thought being a taxi driver could be such a good job?! Amparo kisses him goodbye as he goes to work for the day. Carola enters soon after he has left. She is very happy to share the news that she is Juan's girlfriend. They are a couple! Amparo is sad to hear the news. (Here comes the second part of the public service announcement of how women are to better their lives and to be valued people.) Amparo tells Carola that she is Juan's lover not his girlfriend. That is not the way for Carola to do things or for things to start well, undercover instead of out in the open. Amparo tells Carola that she would like nothing better for Carola to be with Juan but in the right way. If we women want people to respect us we have to start with respecting ourselves. Carola tries to leave several times as she listens to Amparo's lecture. Needless to say she is not happy to get scolded and not happy to be told that what she is doing is immoral.

Alejandro and Lillian continue talking as they sit next to each other on the couch at his house. They have a silly conversation where they share ideas, psychological insights and their inner feelings. Lilliana tells him how she would be in the same place as his wife. She too would be upset and she understands Miranda for that. Alejandro asks if this means Miranda is insecure. Lilliana says no. She tells Alejandro that she is the same as Miranda, they are identical. Alejandro asks what does a woman want? Lilliana tells him everything and more if that’s possible. Even Freud said that no one knows a woman. Alejandro wants to know what Lilliana wants. She tells him she is happy with what she has. They agree after this discussion to call each other by their first names. Alejandro goes to get some books for Sophia.

Fab has left to report Nuria's disappearance with the baby. Fern and Miranda comfort Flor who whines that she cant believe that Nuria did this to her! Its not fair! Flor continues her whining saying why cant she be happy with the little time she has left?! Wha! After calming Flor down a little Miranda decides she needs to call Alejandro and let him know what is happening. She picks up her cell phone and dials his number.

Alejandro's cell phone rings. Lilliana calls for Alejandro to answer his phone as she waits for him to get the books. Alejandro doesn’t answer her so she answers Al's cell phone for him. She says bueno and no one replies back. We see a scene of Miranda standing in Flor's room with a face best described as impactada. Lilliana talks into the phone saying that she knows it's you Senora Luque. Miranda tells her that she didn’t speak because at first she thought she had dialed the wrong number. Now let me talk to MY husband. Alejandro walks into the room talking to Lilliana about the books he wants to give to Sophia. Lilliana holds the phone out and tells him it's Miranda. He grabs the phone and says yes my love. Miranda tears into him telling him Excuse me for bothering you but Nuria stole Florencia's baby.

Amparo talks to herself while she bakes a cake. She is mixing ingredients in the worlds smallest bowl, making a wedding cake. She thinks how she can't wait to sell wedding cakes if this recipe turns out right. Juan comes in the kitchen. Amparo asks him what does he know about Renata? Are you divorced from her? What are you doing with Carola?! Juan motions to leave but Amparo isn’t done. She asks him what kind of values does he have to going out with Carola while married to Renata. Juan leaves looking like he has been whipped.

César asks Bertha in his apartment what Bertha plans to do with Nuria. Bertha counters what are you going to do with Renata? I hope its not what you did with Lizania. César answers that Miranda has always despised everything about him and now she is going to be groveling at his feet. She is going to ask him for clemency for her sister. The evil duo laugh about this together and begin to dance close to each other, stepping side to side. César says lets go to the room when the doorbell rings. They look at each other as César goes to open the door. It's Lilliana.

Lilliana sits on a stool as she talks to César and Bertha. Bertha lounges on César's couch and César stays in the background fiddling with a large decanter of brandy and his ever constant cigarette. Lilliana tells them that if the judges order is against Alejandro she will file a right of protection the first chance she gets. That order will go to the supreme court of justice. César interjects What do we care? Lilliana snaps that if they have to go for a third round then the court will be prejudiced against Bertha and César. And when the Supreme Court sends out the final sentence she will immediately thereafter start a lawsuit for defamation of honor and for moral damage against them. She will also start an investigation with the Public Minister for corruption and traffic of influence against them. Bertha smarts off How terrible, but I didn’t understand anything you said. Lilliana tells her yes she did and if they are trying to extort the judge then they are wasting his time and hers, and them wasting her time bothers her. César begins to motion like he is going to kick her out but ends up exhaling smoke from his mouth and then quickly refilling his mouth back up with brandy. He tells her when she has proof to come back. Lilliana replies she doesn’t need proof, everything will come to light. César then tries another tactic by asking if she will work for them. Lilliana tells him his attempt to buy her failed. They have confirmed to her that they are lying in their sworn testimonies.

César and Bertha tell each other after Lilliana has left that she wont intimidate them. They laugh and talk confidently. Bertha promises César that she will go and talk to Lilliana again. She will leave something for Lillianas daughter, a stuffed animal (peluche). Bertha grabs César's cigarette and takes a drag as she smirks at him. César asks if she would like to see the toys he bought for her in New York. Bertha smiles saying she would as she grabs his hand and glides with him to his bedroom. Gross!

Raul goes to visit Amparo. They chat about putting some of her bits of paper on the computer. She asks if he knows about Juan and Carola. Raul tells her he does, Juan is a grown man. He also tells her that Juan saw Renata with César. Amparo is shocked. She tells Raul that she is going to go talk with Renata.

Pamela and Miranda go over Miranda's problems with Alejandro and Lilliana. Pam tells Miranda that all Luciano does is talk about Lilliana too. The women decide they have a worthy opponent. Lilliana is smart. Miranda tells Pam that you have to understand your adversary and put yourself in their shoes. Its like a chess game. Hmm what will the girls come up with?

Alejandro fills Daira in by phone on his release and everything else that has been going on. Daira is going to come back into town. Santiago calls after Alejandro hangs up with Daira. Sanitago tells Alejandro he has some very important things to talk to him about. They decide to meet tonight. After AL is finished with that phone call he talks to himself on what he said to Miranda. He has a flashback to calling Miranda Lilliana. He gets mad at himself for his mistake and then starts to psycho-analyze his behavior. Why did he call her Lillian he asks?

Nuria is seen outside squatting in a corner. A nun walks up to her and tells her to get up and go eat. Nuria doesn’t want to eat she wants her baby. The nun tells her she can see her baby but first she has to eat. Nuria is resistant. The nun tells her that she should know the punishment that happens when you break the rules. Nuria is pitiful, and continues to resist the nun. The nun slaps her just as Bertha walks up sweetly saying Is something happening Madre?
