Caray, Caray!

* Tiberio is in his office remembering his temper tantrum at the home office and Dolores handing him the report she found in the trash. He looks at the report in his hands as he remembers that she waited to have dinner with him. He wonders if she really does love him.

* Jossie visits Gabriel in his office. He tells her that LD was rushed to the hospital last night, and that he stayed with MA the whole time. Jossie is shocked about LD, and reminds him that MA doesn't want anything to do with him and has said repeatedly that LD isn't his. She says that he is dreaming of something that will never happen. Jossie leaves. Gabriel starts to remember all the times MA had said that LD wasn't his son and wonders if it's true.

* Otilia works on Candy's fitting for the style show as Di and Soraya help with the other models. Otilia and Candy talk about MA and LD's health scare last night; then they discuss the show and the publicity. Candy is excited. In the middle of the conversation, Otilia sticks Candy with a pin (accidentally of course).

* Miriam thinks about Jossie's stern warning about not selling anymore of her jewelry to save the design house. Ingrid enters to tell her about Otilia's style show. Miriam can't believe the luck Otilia is having.

* MA talks on the phone with Leo as LD plays in his crib. MA hangs up as Candy stops by to visit. Candy plays tug-o-war with LD.

* Rogelio enters the palace and sprints upstairs. Mayeya hears his footsteps and follows him upstairs. Rogelio goes straight into Miriam's bedroom and to the safe box. Mayeya spies on Rogelio through the door. She is shocked and leaves. When he has what he came in for, he closes the safe and leaves.

* Tweet sits in the kitchen as Mayeya enters. She sits down and tells Tweet that she just saw Rogelio in Miriam's safe box again. Tweet thinks they should just leave it alone, it isn't their problem.

* Rogelio smiles and is pleased with himself as he leaves the palace.

* Tweet changes the subject and jokes around with Mayeya about her appearance in the style show.

* On the stairs, MA and Candy talk about her fitting for the style show. Miriam enters the palace and isn't in a very good mood. Candy antagonizes her with mention of being a model in Otilia's style show. Miriam insults Candy - Candy argues back - Miriam goes upstairs still throwing insults at Candy. When Miriam has disappeared from view, Candy talks with MA about knowing more than enough about Miriam's cold heart. Candy confides in MA that Miriam is Leo's real mother. MA is shocked. (Candy you are such a blabber mouth.) MA hugs Candy and is in disbelief about Miriam and Leo. Candy says it's true and they both wonder about what Leo's reaction may be when and if he finds this out. Candy leaves as soon as Gabriel enters. MA says Jossie isn't there. Gabriel wants to have a paternity test on LD to determine once and for all if he is the father.

* Regina visits JC in his office. She sees that he doesn't look well and asks him. He says not to worry, he's just tired that's all. She smiles, kisses his forehead and leaves. JC has another dizzy spell.

* Gabriel asks again for a paternity test. MA is offended and refuses to permit it. Gabriel continues to press for it. She is adamantly opposed to his having anything to do with her and her son. He thinks all this animosity is a front for her true feelings. He loves her and he thinks she still loves him. She stays silent as he leaves. She prays for strength not to melt into Gabriel's arms.

* Rogelio meets with Uncle Demian about buying his shares in the company. Demian is busy now but if Rogelio is serious he can stop by the mansion and discuss with tonight with him and Tiberio. Rogelio is unsure of Gabriel's reaction to this deal. Demian assures him. He agrees. Before Rogelio leaves, Demian asks where he is getting the money - Rogelio isn't specific.

* Candy prays to her home altar. Leo comes out asking for help choosing a tie. He reminds her to scoot outside - for wardrobe and make-up preparations. He gives her a blessing. Before she leaves, he jokes around and puts a book on her head. She takes it off and leaves. Leo laughs, then he shakes his head and says, "Ay, Mamacita."

* Elsa is frustrated by her job search, and stops by a liquor store. She stands at the door and thinks about taking just one drink. Sylvester finds her and talks her out of it. He gives her a pep talk to stay strong and clean. He wants her to feel like she can lean on him for support. She tells him to stop it. He loves her too much to stop and leans in to kiss her - she turns her head to refuse.

* Otilia, Di and Soraya supervise the final preparations before the style show. Otilia is nervous and Di and Soraya give her a pep talk. (The style show location is the De Lara apartment complex courtyard.)

* When the mariachi band stops playing, Otilia takes the stage to give her introduction speech for the style show. During the show, Leo, Tweet and Sylvester give catcalls and commentaries from the audience to the ladies and the fashions. Mayeya appears twice: once in a red sundress, then in a black elegant evening gown. Candy appears at the end in a black evening top and skirt. Leo hands her a yellow carnation from one of the flower arrangements on the side of the stage. Ingrid spies on the show from behind a column.

* After the show, Leo, Candy, Otilia, Tweet, Mayeya, Di and Soraya laugh and celebrate the style show's success. Leo leads Candy to the dance floor, Tweet and Mayeya follow them. Everyone dances to the mariachi band (it's party time).

* At the palace, MA talks with LD. Dolores will be there soon to take care of him. She leaves the room. Gabriel sneaks in and starts talking to LD saying he's his "Papa". Gabriel picks LD up from the crib and hugs and kisses the child. MA returns and is upset by Gabriel holding LD. Gabriel says that he knows without a doubt that LD is their son, his and MA's. She is still upset. MA pulls LD from Gabriel's arms and puts him back in the crib. Gabriel still thinks he's right. MA again explains that he is totally and completely wrong and has overstepped his bounds again. LD is her son, her's alone and her son doesn't need a father figure in his life. Gabriel can't believe she has changed at all - she goes into her lecture about how she did change due to all the circumstances and events she's had to deal with in her life. Gabriel tries to seduce her. She continues to stand her ground against him. She then reminds him about Jossie and their child together. Gabriel claims to not remember anything. She is still hurt and refuses to buy it as an excuse. She tells him to leave - he does so.

* Gabriel visits CB in his crib. Jossie enters the room and scolds him about his continued interest in MA and LD. He claims the children are brothers. She is offended by Gabriel's comments, picks CB up and carries him out of the room.

* Ingrid is livid as she returns to Miriam's office to report about the style show and shows Miriam all the rave reviews Otilia is receiving. As Miriam reads the articles, Ingrid pressures her to produce an equally successful style show or they will go out of business. Miriam rips up the newspapers.

* In the office, Otilia and Candy discuss Candy's image as a model. Candy loves her rich mexican food too much to diet and give them up.

* Sylvester continues to ask Elsa to give him a chance. She continues to refuse and walk away from him.

* JC and Dolores sit in Leo's office talking as they wait for the exam results. Leo enters with a worried look on his face. They ask if he's received the results. Leo sits down at the desk and prepares them for the news.

* Miriam looks at the remaining jewelry and hopes it will be sufficient for her to mount a challenge to Otilia's style show.

* Rogelio and Demian are in a meeting in Demian's office about Rogelio's share purchase. Rogelio laughs at the thought of Gabriel's reaction.

* Leo tells JC and Dolores the shocking results - JC has leukemia.
