Caray, Caray!

Emilio told Luba that Thelma hadn't lost the baby. Luba felt stupid for having believed that she-wolf Thelma.

At home, Emilio asked Thelma why she had lied to Luba, but Thelma pretended not to know what he was talking about.

Marianita had a medical crisis while her mother was travelling to Sierra Escondida to see Alvaro. Dr. Love told Malena, "Her pulse is weak," and admitted that Marianita was terminally ill. They rushed her to the hospital, where Juanito later came to visit her.

Jose and Arcadio headed home for Mexico. Jose said he intended to tell Mariana everything that had happened while he was away.

Later some men who were following Jose (apparently police officers) commented that the authorities in Mexico would be waiting for him.

Santos told his mother that he wanted to forget Rosita, but later he changed his mind and said he still loved Rosita and would go back and beg her forgiveness.

Meanwhile, Rosita said to herself, "Santos, now I've lost you forever. I can never tell you that your own father abused me."

Alina and Soledad hung around inside the church without any apparent fear that someone would see them. Soledad advised Alina to forget Emilio and start a new life. Alina insisted that Emilio was a good man, so Soledad asked Father Cristobal to tell Emilio they needed his help.

Elias cried and blamed himself for not forgetting Soledad during his marriage to Blanca. His co-worker (don't know his name) said he should seek spiritual help.

So Elias went to the church, where he found Soledad and Alina. He told them Blanca died of a heart attack and Alvaro wasn't involved, saying, "Alvaro is loco, but not a killer." He told them he would arrange their escape from Sierra Escondida.

Adela told Alvaro (aka Don Loco) she was preparing a room for Mariana, whose arrival was expected. Don Loco said, "Listen well, Adela. My sister can't find out what's happening here." He said he would pull out the tongue of anyone who revealed the truth to Mariana.

Father Cristobal visited Emilio and said, in front of Thelma, "You and I have to talk. I bring news of Alina." But he said first Emilio would have to convince him that he could be trusted. Just then Vera told Thelma that Don Loco was there, furious and insisting on talking to Emilio.

Thelma went outside and Don Loco told her that Emilio was trying to help Alina. Thelma said, "You're not the only one who opposes what he's doing." She said if Emilio brought Alina to the house, Thelma would make her work as a maid. She added, "At this moment Padre Cristobal is telling Emilio where to find Alina."

Alvaro stormed inside and confronted Father Cristobal, who was forced to claim that Soledad and Alina had already left for Puebla.

Outside the house, Alvaro yelled at Cristobal some more for going to Emilio instead of him, saying, "You're wrong if you think the little captain has good intentions!" He said Emilio wanted Alina to become his maid.

Cristobal, of course, chose to believe this, telling himself, "Now I can't trust Emilio." He went back to the church and at first refused to tell Alina anything except that she should forget Emilio. Finally he told her that Emilio wanted her to be his maid.

In a flashback, Luba remembered telling Gaspar's long-haired father (also named Gaspar) that she was pregnant. Then she remembered Gaspar Sr. lying on his deathbed while Luba and the adult Gaspar Jr. begged him not to die. Gaspar Sr. said, "Forgive me, please," and croaked. Gaspar asked his mother, "What are we going to do?" and Luba said, "Have strength. We are together."

As Luba was remembering this, Gaspar returned to the cave and asked , "Have you seen my munequita, Mami?"

Luba told him that Thelma was upset about losing the baby, so they couldn't go back to the hacienda because if Thelma's husband knew the truth he'd kill Gaspar. Then she asked her picture of the Virgin Mary why she had to lie to Gaspar about Thelma losing the baby.

Don Loco sent Sergio to Puebla to look for Soledad and Alina, but Sergio of course had no luck. Don Loco berated him, "How can it be that you can't find them?" Sergio said no one there had seen them.

Alvaro started trashing his house, tossing over furniture and breaking things, shouting, "Soledad and that damn foreman are together! Where are you? Where are you? I'm going to find you! Soledad! Soledad!" Not only did he look more completely loco than ever, he also looked as if he were on the verge of having a heart attack.

Apparently the servants went for help, because hairy psychiatrist Dr. Z showed up and told Don Loco, who was staring into space with a crazed look on his face, "Calm down, calm down. Everything will be OK."

Meanwhile, in Maximo's office: Maximo asked Braulio why Rosita was angry at him. Braulio said, "My poor daughter has been raped, and the truth is she thinks it was you."

Maximo very angrily denied it, saying Rosita couldn't prove anything because he didn't do anything, and if she accused him people would talk about her.

I think(?) he finished up by saying the only reason he didn't kick Braulio out ("si no te corro a patadas") was that he still liked Rosita, even though she was used. "Now get out!" He pulled his gun on Braulio, who left.

Mariana arrived at Don Loco's hacienda and was greeted by Adela, who said Soledad and Alina were "on a trip" and Alvaro was in his room with a doctor.

Mariana said, "I'm going to reveal a secret to Alvaro that I have kept for years." Adela warned her that it wasn't a good time, but Mariana went to see Alvaro.

She found Don Loco in bed. Before leaving, Dr. Z told her that he'd given Alvaro a sedative and she should let him sleep. He said Alvaro had suffered an emotional crisis, and it was important not to upset him.

After Dr. Z left, Don Loco asked, "Why have you come, Mariana?" and told her to go back to Mexico City. What a loving brother. She asked what was wrong and Alvaro said he was a little depressed.

Mariana decided she couldn't tell him that she had a daughter with Jose Gomez. She told Adela she would return immediately to Mexico City.

Alina fretted about Emilio's supposed plan to turn her into a maid. She told Soledad she had nothing against working as a maid, but she couldn't accept Emilio giving her orders.

Later Jeremias (the drunk old pervert) saw Stupid Alina hanging around outside the church (DUH, ALINA!) She ran inside and he wondered how much money Alvaro would give him for revealing where Alina was.

Emilio told Angel that he'd offered to help Alina but she didn't accept. Later Nurse Susi heard Angel say in his sleep, "Alina, Flor." She woke him up and told him he was having a nightmare. Angel said, "No, it was a beautiful dream." Poor Nurse Susi.

Braulio told Rosita he thought Maximo was the one who raped her. "Turn him in, he has to pay for what he did!" Rosita said, "He deserves much more than jail."

Alina had a nightmare in which she was Emilio's maid and he barked orders at her, saying, "To you I am not Emilio, I am your boss, understand me?"

Orlando caught Thelma kissing Castulo in the garden and asked her, "What are you doing?"

At the end of the episode, Maximo was outside lighting a cigar when someone came up behind him and started to strangle him with a cord.
