Caray, Caray!

Using Sylvia's words from last night we start with Flor praying to the Virgencita that her papa isn't bad. (What????) She sniffles on, he is tortured, he has a sickness, help him Virgencita, help him to see the truth.

Emilio asks the air "Flor, where could you be? My brother loves you so even though I was ready to dump you I now have renewed interest in you. I love you when I should hate you. God help me to forget her, I must forget her."

The singing aunt joins Don Maximo at the Meson de Edilmiras. She tells him that she always knows where the party is. She admires Coral for her beauty and in almost the same breath asks Maximo if perhaps they can be good friends…. Snicker. Snicker. Eyelashes bat. Laugh. Laugh.

Orlando lets himself into Thelma’s room. She scolds him for entering her room and he laughs. He tells her that Emilio doesn't care in the least that he's in there. He tries to pump her for information on how things are going for her. She tells him that things aren’t going so well in the Emilio department and she’s worried. He tells her that now that the field is clear he wants Flor for himself. She warns him to be careful to make sure Emilio doesn't still want Flor. Orlando jumps up laughing. Emilio hates Flor, he tells Thelma. Emilio thinks that Flor accepted a bride to let Thelma marry him.

Luba and Gaspar have been hit with depression. Gaspar sings in a sad voice that he can’t stop thinking about his muñequita and his kid. Luba asks Gaspar not to repeat that, even though she believes him, la muñequita is the wife of the owner of La Rinconada. He has to forget her. Luba asks Gaspar to promise that he won’t return to La Rinconada anymore.

The singing aunt gives Thelma a pep talk as Thelma applies makeup. Thelma is worried to see Emilio, worried that Emilio might assault her. The aunt says Please! Where is the strong woman she has always seen in her gone? The winner who has always gotten what she wanted. Now she is the wife of Emilio Valtierra and her child will have an illustrious last name. Now once again she will have to conquer the man, to seduce him. The aunt finishes her pep talk by telling Thelma to not forget to cry. It’s the most important thing, that Thelma’s tears soften Emilio’s insensitive heart.

Rosita lights a candle for Flor. Her dad walks in and asks what's she is doing. Rosita fills her dad in on all of Flor’s bad luck. Flor is like a sister to her, she doesn't want Flor to suffer any more because of her crazy father’s fault. Daddy warns Rosita to be careful about calling Don Loco crazy. If Don Loco hears her calling him crazy he might hurt her…….

Alina/Flor and Don Loco talk. He tells her she is smart for going to the cops to accuse him, but she now knows who runs things here. Right? Alina/Flor tells her papi she knows that now, and she also knows deep down he still loves her. He tells her that she is going to stay here until she learns how to respect him. They fight about whether he is her father or not. She argues how she knows her mother never cheated on him. She knows that her mother loved him but he has done too much damage. He was her example, the one she trusted the most, the one who watched over her the most. She wants to see her mother. He tells her that things aren’t about her. He is the one who makes the orders. He leaves the room locking the door behind him. Flor/Alina hits on the door screaming Papa! Open the door! Don’t leave me in here!

Thelma goes to chat with Emilio. He is cold to her. She starts off soft, asking why is he treating her like a traitor? He queries and you’re not? Thelma looses it. She starts snarling and talking rapidly about how she loves him. She has always loved him. Its not about her, it’s about their kid. Things didn’t go like she thought blah blah blah. Now we are married, not for me, but for our kid. She slows her speech down to get her last pitiful pleas in. "Emilio please stop despising me!"

Emilio has heard enough. He tells her to stop being a hypocrite; he is like they made him. He looks at her with disdain and tells her “You’re my wife right? Well now you are going to do what I want!”

Thelma asks Emilio what he wants. She tries to rub his arms as she begs that they leave Sierra Escondida. He shrugs her off, telling her that he came here to work with the army. They are not going to leave until he finishes his work. They are going to stay there.

Soledad tells Don Loco he is an assassin who killed their daughter. Alvaro looks at her confused.

Thelma wants to know how long they are going to stay there. Emilio doesn't know, besides the country life will do her good. She asks if he is making fun of her. Emilio tells her that he was talking about things lightly but if she wants to talk seriously then he will let loose with all the hate and resentment that he has inside. Thelma cries she didn’t cheat on him, what is he talking about?! Emilio gets sarcastic with her saying Oh yes?! Then what do I call you when you took advantage of a man on the edge of death? You manipulated everyone to celebrate a marriage. She pleads but I love you! I love you!

Emilio doesn't have compassion for her. He asks her with what right do you have to lie?! Do you think I am going to believe in your love? I will never believe you!

Don Loco tells Soledad that Alina is alive. She tells him he lies and that she hates him. She yells at him to get out of her room assassin!

Emilio tells Thelma that she will have a husband in name only, nothing more. She can tell people whatever she wants but when they are alone they will be like two strangers. Thelma cries and screams that she has rights. Emilio doesn't care. He tells her that he will do whatever he wants.

You can’t demand that I do anything! I’m here as a guest of the owner of the Rinconada! So says Coral to Thelma as their cat fight heats up.

Emilio tells Angel that he is not going to let him take the pistol to confront Alvaro Montellano. Angel tells his brother that he knows how to defend himself, with his coughs. Emilio reasons that Montellano could hurt Angel. Angel saw what Montellano did to him; Montellano tried to kill him. Emilio tells Angel he can go but without the gun. Angel takes this news bad. He starts to have an attack; he is short of breath like he has just run a marathon. He doubles over as he thinks about what he is going to do.
