Caray, Caray!

Edgar stands silently in the dark doorway with a candle and Joselyn screams, ‘Go away, you’re dead!’ over and over eventually rousing the rest of the house. Miriam comes down but of course Edgar is gone and there is just hysterical Joselyn screaming that Edgar is coming for her. Miriam doesn’t believe her. Suddenly, there is someone standing in the doorway with a candle and at that moment, the lights come back on. It is Rosa, the maid. Joselyn freaks out again and Miriam asks if she has been drinking while taking her medicine. Joselyn swears that she hasn’t and that Edgar was really there. [Joselyn’s eye makeup does not run when she cries].

A lot of hugging and congratulations about Paulina’s pregnancy with Gabriel, MA, Leo, JC and Paulina.

Tiberio finds Belen in the street and roughs her up and tells her not to mess with him.

Tiberio returns to the house and locks the door of the room and fools around with some papers while listening to classical music and hyperventilating.

Meanwhile, Simona tells Belen that she confronted Tiberio about his treatment of her.

Demian is talking to himself saying that tomorrow is his wedding anniversary with Regina. He has something planned that will convince her that no one loves her as much as he does.

MA sits in the waiting room of the Cruz Rojo remembering Gabriel telling her that he withdrew his demand for a divorce in order to see Luisito. ‘What are you thinking?’ MA says to herself. Then she is called to see Clemente.

Gabriel tells himself what wonderful news it is that JC and Paulina are expecting but he doesn’t have anyone to share it with.

Clemente appears to recognize MA as his daughter but he claims not to know who Miriam & Joselyn are.

Demian, Regina and Tiberio wonder where Dolores is.

Edgar recalls the attack on the boat and wonders who ordered his murder?

JC and Paulina give Demian, Regina, Tiberio & Simona their good news. More hugging.

Joselyn has convinced herself that seeing Edgar was just her imagination. Miriam gives her a sleeping pill. Miriam returns to her room saying that she doesn’t understand this new craziness of Joselyn. The phone rings. Miriam answers it, ‘Hi Miriam, do you recognize my voice?’ the caller asks. ‘Edgar?’ says Miriam. Edgar hangs up and the lights go out again. ‘No puede ser!’ says Miriam over and over.

Dolores and Nicolas tell Edgar that they will continue with their plan tomorrow and they bid him goodnight. Edgar asks himself if it really could have been Joselyn and Miriam who ordered his murder. [I guess he didn’t know them very well.]

Coyote acts like a lout with Elsa.

Tiberio goes to the table-dancing club and meets up with Rogelio. Rogelio says that he went and saw Diana and told her that if she messed with his life, she would be ‘sustituto’ substituted or replaced? I guess that makes sense. Rogelio and Tiberio laugh uproariously.

Meanwhile, Otilia is dragging Diana into the club with Ingrid. Diana and Ingrid don’t think this is a good plan but Otilia gives a long speech about how deceived wives need to get revenge. [It is fortunate that I had the subtitles in this scene since the music from the club drowned out most of what Otilia was saying.]

Demian and Regina have some champagne to celebrate JC & Paulina’s good news. Demian mentions that tomorrow is their wedding anniversary. Regina tells Demian that he has changed and she isn’t afraid to be around him anymore. Demian is pleased.

Gabriel is also toasting JC and Paulina’s news but he is alone. He thinks about MA and we see her at the Cruz Roja on a split screen.

At the club, Otilia tells the proprietor that tonight is his lucky night. An international star will dance for him tonight, drive the men crazy and not cost him a cent.

Gabriel goes to the Cruz Roja to see MA. He tells her that he didn’t have anyone with whom to celebrate the good news and he thought of her and returned to the clinic. MA says that she is very happy she is there.

Back at the club, Otilia, dressed in a wig and a glittery mask introduces a masked dancer. Diana comes out in a platinum wig and a mask. Rogelio thinks that the announcer’s voice is familiar but he can’t remember from where. Diana starts to dance and Rogelio is rapt.

Gabriel tells MA some platitudes like, ‘to be born is part of the eternal circle of life and is why, in the final analysis life is worth the pain of living.’

No one recognizes the masked Diana and her performance is a big success. Rogelio and Tiberio want to know how to contact her but she, Otila and Ingrid have left the club.

So profound is Gabriel’s philosophy of life that MA relives the whole scene in her memory.

At breakfast, Miriam tells Joselyn about the phone call. They can’t figure out what is going on when the phone rings. It’s Dolores and she wants to meet Miriam & Joselyn.
Demian brings Regina breakfast in bed. He tells her that he wants this day to be unforgettable for her. He has dedicated this day pleasing her.

MA and Clemente tell each other how happy they are to have the other as father/daughter.

Miriam and Joselyn have been stood up by Dolores. They are about to leave the restaurant when Edgar appears. They are impactadas. Joselyn says, ‘You are dead,’ several times. Edgar tells her and Miriam that he isn’t dead and has come back to clear up what happened to him and to be near his daughter. Joselyn keeps repeating, ‘You’re dead, you’re dead,’ and leaves. Miriam tells him to stay away from them.

Leo comes into Clemente’s room at the clinic and tells MA that Clemente is going to be released. MA is happy that she will have the opportunity to take care of him. Gabriel comes in and is told the good news.

Clemente doesn’t remember who Gabriel is. Leo tells Clemente that they are going to take off the bandages over his eyes. Clemente says that he hopes he will be able to see well. Everybody looks uncomfortable. Apparently no one has told him that the blindness is permanent. In a whispered conversation on the other side of the room, Leo tells MA and Gabriel that the doctors don’t know if Clemente will recover his memory.

Edgar, Dolores and Nicolas drop in on Miriam and Joselyn. Nicolas explains how Edgar survived the attempt on his life and where he has been for the last 20 years.

Demian tells his reflection in the mirror that he has changed inside and out.

Edgar tells Miriam and Joselyn that the circumstances point to their being involved in the attack on him. Miriam rented the boat and Joselyn knew where they were going. Miriam and Joselyn protest their innocence. Miriam asks Edgar et al to leave since Joselyn is having difficulty dealing with his sudden appearance. Edgar refuses to leave until he speaks to his daughter.

Tomorrow: Karen comes face to face with her father and Joselyn and MA slap each other.
