Caray, Caray!

Don Loco thinks to himself about how Alina is driving him crazy and how it's time for her to receive her punishment.

Emilio and Alina work their magic on each other as they fight in the rain. She detests him, she is not his servant. He tells her "Someday you'll be obeying me all right, and that day will have been worth the trouble of saving your life. Goodbye Flor del Campo." Luba runs up to comfort the slowly melting Flor. Her shirt is about to fall off as she leans into Luba to cry. She starts to ugly cry. Luba cusses at Emilio's back.

Soledad prays to the Virgencita. She is worried about what Alvaro has in store for Alina. She remembers Don Locos cruel words, every one of the cruel humiliations he has given Alina. She cries as she prays for Alina's safety.

Elias yells at some workers in the construction office. He scolds the workers "who authorized Santos to work in the rain! What are you thinking?" They head out to stop Santos on his death quest excavation.

Don Max tears into his office yelling at Vera's husband about how no one looked after the horses in the rain. Thank goodness he saved them. He is told he has a visitor. It's Carmen. She is there to ask a favor. Max laughs. He is excited to see his visitor. He grabs money out of his desk drawer and throws it at her. Sarcastically he asks her if "it's for the son you say I created? Do nothing more than tell me. Is he a handsome winner like his father or is he a nobody like you?" Carmen stares coldly ahead.

Luba sits in her rocking chair smoking her joint or worse yet smoking a cigar. She scolds both Flor and Gaspar for their smart ideas of going to La Rinconada, fighting with ese tipo, and looking for trouble. The singing Gaspar tries to claim his innocence. He was only looking for dry branches.... Luba doesn't want to hear it. Flor doesn't want to hear it either so she excuses herself to go see Rosita. Luba rants at the cave. She is worried that something bad is going to happen to Flor. She is worried she is going crazy.

Angel corners Emilio. He is wearing a lovely pink polo, with the collar flipped up around his neck and sporting an ugly neck scarf that does not match his pink shirt. He is every bit NOT the heart throb that he wishes to be. He is put off with Emilio. Put off that Emilio would go looking for Alina when Emilio admits Alina is dead to him. Emilio, in a robe, sprays cologne on his neck and tells Angel that yes Alina is dead to him, but he did go and see Flor. Angel coughs a little and plays the same word games that Emilio started. There is a boring exchange of she doesn't like you, she didn't tolerate you, get your own girls, blah blah blah. Angel queries if Emilio would hand over one of his admirers to him? Well Angel doesn't need any hand outs. He has found a woman who doesn't like Emilio. In fact she detests him! That's right he is going to win over Alina Montellano for himself. What's more he is going to ask her to marry him. Emilio is impactado.

Carmen tells Don Max that she doesn't know what he is talking about and she also didn't come to ask for money. She came to ask for him not to repeat the rotten thing he did to her with any other woman. Don Max grins as he makes his way towards her. He tells her that he isn't stupid..... Take your money.... Then BAM! He is all over her like a bad dream. He has her locked in his arms kissing on her as she struggles to get away. Veras husband Jaime comes in yelling Patron excuse me it's an emergency! Don Max quickly separates himself from Carmen and runs behind his desk. Elias follows Jaime into the office. Elias asks for Max's help in rescuing Santos from a mudslide an their excavation area. Don Max twists his mustache and slides his eyes towards Elias in mock concern as he hears the news.

Emilio is shocked to hear Angel's news. He tries to tell Angel that he doesn't have permission to go out with Alina. Angel tells Emilio he doesn't need his permission, besides Emilio is married. Angel wants to marry Alina and to give her everything that her father took away from her. Cough Cough. The employees told Angel about Alinas whole story. Emilio tries a last time to tell Angel to stop with the silliness! Angel coughs saying we'll see about it Emilio as he leaves the room. Emilio talks to himself that Alina is driving him crazy. Seems like a lot of people are saying that about her tonight.

Don Loco comes to call on Luba. She forces Gaspar to hide as Loco walks into the cave. He wants Alina. Luba pretends that Gaspar is out watching Flor pick herbs, they aren't there. Don Loco hands Luba a huge stack of cash. Luba doesn't want the money. She remembers that he said he would pay her when it is time to remove Alina from her care. She tries to trick Loco by saying she will punish Flor more, but Loco doesn't want Lubas help anymore. He wants to take Flor so he can do his own punishment.

Carmen runs out of Max's office upset about Santos. Emilio walks in as she is leaving. Elias explains why they are there and what the situation is with Santos. He wants to see if any of Don Max's employees knows the land and or is trained in landslides. Don Max argues what can they do? Well what they can do is send Emilio. Emilio with his vast military knowledge knows what to do in situations like this. Don Max is sure this is not a good idea. Emilio storms out to perform his rescue mission.

Carmen meanwhile has found Rosita and a stagecoach driver (wearing a large traditional Mexican sombrero hat). She leads them out of the hacienda to a waiting stagecoach. Florina arrives in the nick of time to catch a seat on the departing coach. Their destination? The work zone where Santos is madly trying to deny his parentage.

Emilio, on horseback, canters up to where Elias waits with the other workers near a large dirt pit. He tells Emilio that Santos is down in the hole with a bulldozer. It is supposed to be raining but instead it appears as if someone has a fire hose and is spraying down the pit spectators. The rain looks wrong somehow as it drops on the actors .... Anyhow Elias and Emilio discuss the best way to help Santos. They worry that there will be a landslide, mudslide and or a large boulder will smash Santos or the rescuers. Max joins the spectators on horseback yelling for Emilio not to try and save Santos. He will be risking his life! Emilio answers it's his duty, he is responsible for the construction. Emilio rides down the muddy unstable dirt, on his horse, to get to where Santos is working.

The ladies arrive soon after Emilio has left. Don Max draws everyone's attention to the sound of falling rocks. Elias claims that the dirt is about to collapse! Flor starts her ugly cry again. She begs Elias to do something so Emilio doesn't die! They can't do anything right then because the risk is too high. The women all start to cry.

Jaime runs into the kitchen looking for Orlando. He quickly tells Orlando what is going on. They need Orlando and the soldiers help. Orlando thinks to himself that he can't let Emilio die before he gets to take the woman Emilio loves away from him. They run off to the rescue scene.

Don Max yells and yells. He wants everyone to hurry and save Emilio.

Luba and Don Loco talk over punishments. Don Loco doesn't want her services anymore. He is planning a punishment that Luba would be proud of .... he is going to take Flor to the Meson de Edelmira. Luba is upset. She asks if he is planning on selling Flor?! Don Loco snaps his whip near Luba's face. She clamps her mouth tight from fright and listens as he rants that Edelmira will keep Flor in line! Don Loco stomps out of the cave and Luba throws the wad of cash down. She has to warn Flor! She can't go to the house. That house is a sin. Help her Virgencita!

Florina has found a horse and takes off on horseback. She talks to herself that she has to save Emilio. Don Max screams at the spectators to let him talk to Carmen alone. The people back away. He wants to know why Carmen is so worried about that dying of hunger Santos. He wants to know if the boy is the child that Carmen was blaming him for years ago. Carmen looks away.

Luba talks to herself as she rests her arms on THE chest. "What a dark soul you have Alvaro. If you only knew what was in this chest you would have a little compassion for Flor. But you will end up going crazy. Everything in it's time Alvaro. You are going to fall Alvaro ......"

ACTION TIME: Remember it is raining. We see a bulldozer madly working in the rain at the bottom of the pit. Emilio calls and waves to Santos but to no avail. We see rocks and mud rolling down a hill. We see the military boys' rescue a few families' minutes before a mudslide destroys their houses. Mud and destruction is everywhere. Gosh, thank goodness for the Mexican Armed Forces. Orlando is seen at the top of the pit calling for Emilio. He worries that Emilio is going to die. Orlando sees Florina who is smartly trying to save Emilio on her own. Orlando drags her out by the reins of her horse. She loudly protests as he drags her back to the spectators.

Don Max asks if Santos is their son. Carmen denies it, but what would he do if Santos was? Max yells at her he would never give him his last name! Santos would want all of his fortune! But before that could happen he would get rid of Santos' ambitious self by whipping him! Carmen is glad she didn't tell him the truth. She yells at Max that Santos is not his. Doesn't Max remember the blows he gave her in her stomach all the while knowing that she was pregnant?! She lost the child she was carrying! Santos was a poor orphan that she took in and gave all of her mothers love to. Max is happy to hear this news but he is still on the edge of sanity. He leaves to go and yell at the workers some more.

Santos works his bulldozer yelling that Maximo is not his father! We see large clumps of earth and rocks hail down on Santos and his bulldozer. There is a loud crashing noise as the spectators hear the landslide. The women scream and Max falls to the ground. He has lost his mind. Someone has said I'm sorry Senora and this sends Max off his rocker. He jumps up screaming and grabbing Elias's shirt. Is this all you can say he screams! I've lost my nephew! The men try to calm Max down with the sombrero wearing driver giving Max a little push. It's no ones fault he yells at Max.

The military guys decide they will go down to the pit and see if they can find anyone alive.

Emilio rises over the dirt to find Santos passed out and bleeding in his bulldozer. Santos is still alive. The recently ill, with life threatening gun shot wounds, Emilio picks Santos up and throws him over his shoulder. He wonders how they will get out of the pit. He wonders if he will split his stitches. (Not really.)

Bark Bark. Luba tells Gaspar that Tonki/Donky/sweet little doggie has a bad premonition that something bad is going to happen to Flor. She tells Gaspar about Don Locos visit and how he is going to take Flor away. Gaspar sings something about his muñequita and Luba flips out. She starts to yell and quickly paces the cave. We have to help her! Gaspar sings a little song about if they help her they will be burned alive. Luba is aware of the risk but they have to help her!

Blanca visits Soledad. They talk about Alina and the rain. Blanca tells her that she and Elias will not permit anything bad to happen to Alina.

Luba explains to Gaspar how she wants him to go to the Meson and threaten Edelmira. She wants Gaspar to tell Edelmira that if anything happens to Flor, Edelmira's business will burn. She wants him to tell Edelmira that Gaspars mother, the witch Luba, promises this will happen. Gaspar whines that he wants his muñequita. Luba is ticked to hear him whine about that. She tells him that he can't leave the cave for anything. She slows herself down and returns to her kind self. She tries to reason with Gaspar who can only sit there and dream of his muñequita.

Don Loco listens intently as Edelmira talks about how she gets her girls to do what she wants. She does something so they can't stand for a few days. The girls get very weak and they can't move. From that point forward the girls are so scared that they do what she wants. She is evil. Don Loco is intrigued. He tells her he has a girl that is not so easy to subdue. Would Edelmira teach the girl how to obey? Edelmira is happy to help him. She talks about how if the girl is pretty the men will go crazy for her. Don Loco doesn't like that. He grabs her roughly by her neck and tells her that the girl he will bring Edelmira she will NOT let any man touch! Edelmira is afraid. She asks who the girl is. He tells her it's Flor de Campo as he gives her a bunch of money and leaves. On his way out Loco is approached by one of the working girls. Loco thinks the girl is Alina. He snaps his crazy switch, grabs the girl by the ears, and tells her to act like the decent girl like he taught her to be. She runs off and he talks to himself that he hopes he hasn't done something bad. He prohibited Edelmira from selling Alina, besides his punishment is fair.

Blanca asks Soledad how she was able to resist Elias when they were younger. Soledad tells her that her whole being belonged to Alvaro and no one else. Blanca asks her if she could fall in love again. Soledad answers no, she is too hurt. Besides who would fall for her when Alvaro has so much power? Blanca repeats Who knows Soledad over and over.

Don Max is back yelling at the soldiers to go and see if Emilio is alive. Alina is heard squeaking in the background too. The rain pours down hard on everyone in a more natural pattern. Everyone is sad thinking Santos and Emilio are dead. The soldiers report that they can't go down, it isn't safe. Alina ugly cries. Someone yells look! It's Emilio making his way up the hill carrying Santos. They run to the rescue. Alina stands in the background watching and then runs off.

Back at the hacienda the doctor reports to Rosita and Carmen that Santos will be alright. Rosita is left alone with Santos talking about how she is no one with out him.

The men (sodliers et al) all talk over things with Emilio in the living room of the hacienda. Max is still outraged that Emilio would do all this for a worthless boy like Santos. The men laugh about how worried the women were. They mention how Alina was there and how worried she was about Emilio. Finally the men agree they need to bathe.

Castulo sneaks into Coral's room (Thank you Sylvia!) and places a nice big tarantula on her bed. He pulls the covers up and over the creature. He is excited to leave this surprise for her. His plan is that she will not want to sleep alone.

Don Loco and Sergio talk about how Emilio would be better off dead. Emilio has liberated the workers and saved Santos.

Emilio thinks about how Alina was watching him. Maybe she does like me! Maybe she doesn't. Maybe she does! Thelma enters his bedroom and makes a beeline for Emilio's body. She hugs him and kisses him. She talks to him in a soft voice about how much she loves him. She pulls him to his bed and they start to make out.

Edelmira tells all the creepy drunk men that Flor de Campo will soon be there for hire. The men are excited. Yuck Yuck Yuck.

Luba worries about Flor. She talks to herself about her worries and where Don Loco plans on taking Flor. Flor enters the cave silently and over hears Luba. She asks her where is my father going to take me?! What place!

Granillo and Edelmira talk about how Flor de Campo will soon be arriving. Edelmira brags that her loyalty can be bought by the highest bidder. She doesn't care about Alvaros rules.

Luba tells Flor that for all these years Luba has been falling for Flor. She thinks of her like a daughter. She loves her like a daughter. This time she can't stand the anxiety of worrying about what will happen to Flor.

Emilio is being kissed on his chest by Thelma as he remembers Alina kissing him in his sick bed. He remembers Alina saying she is his wife. He gets up and stops the action. He tells Thelma he doesn't love her. She whines but I'm your wife! He tells her that he understands but he doesn't love her. She whines and tries to get him back. He resists. She gets mad, yelling at him that She wishes that the person he loves will reject him in the same way that he rejected her!

Castulo is getting undressed when Thelma lets herself into his room. She stands in front of him and removes her shirt. She is braless. Don Loco remembers Alina as a young girl. He thinks how he would have liked her to be his daughter.

Thelma and Castulo have finished their business. Castulo, in the afterglow of their intimacy, admits that Gaspar is still alive. He pretends that Luba must have saved him. Thelma flips her crazy switch. She is mad! Castulo tells her not to worry he will take care of it. Thelma tells him she doesn't want to return to him ever if he doesn't kill Gaspar. She tears out of his room in a hissy. Meanwhile Emilio has been walking the property grounds. He sees Thelma leaving Castulo's room.

Castulo is getting ready for sleepy time in his tighty whiteys when there is a knock at his door. Castulo thinks it is Thelma returning. He grins as he opens the door. Ah oh! It's Emilio instead. Emilio demands to know what the Senora Thelma was doing there.
