Caray, Caray!

Gaviota is explaining why she doesn’t sing…because it reminds her of the harvesters, and then it reminds her of Rodrigo and then that reminds her of his betrayal. So she believes she’ll never sing again. Flashback to happier times with Rodriguito.

Isadora is also pouting about Rodrigo. Aaron and Minerva suggest a return to the city, to avoid that working class tramp (which is not the official definition, but seems to be how they are using the word la jornalera) . Isadora agrees. Rodrigo comes in and gets the scoop, Isadora fell off a horse and bumped her head. Rodrigo wants her to see a specialist, but she doesn’t need no stinkin’ specialist, she just wants Ro at her side.

Hilario is feeling guilty about Isadora’s accident. Erica tells him pshaw, she isn’t blind and doesn’t suck her thumb (common misconceptions) she knows that it’s stupid Gaviota’s fault. Hilario tells her not to meddle. She says, who are you to tell me what to do.

Isadora tells Rodrigo that she loves him and if he isn’t at her side, she would rather die. Rodrigo tells her to calm down and tells her she’s a really brave woman (probably not what she wanted to hear…). Rodrigo tucks her into bed, turns out the light and goes to chat with Aaron. The moment he’s gone, Isadora sits up and tells herself that her diabolical little plan is working. She doesn’t care how long she has to stay in that bed, she will get Ro back.

Pilar (I love that name) and Minerva are crabbing about Rodrigo and the (im)possibility of divorce in the family. Daniela calls and Minerva tells her that if she’s thinking about getting married, think twice (um…isn’t that always good advice). Pilar tells Daniela about Rodrigo asking for a divorce and cavorting with some little working class tramp. Daniela’s not surprised…Rodrigo wasn’t in love when he got married. Daniela’s psyched because love won out….meanwhile across the room some guy is drawing a picture of her.

Gaviota is doing laundry and starts hearing voices. She tells herself it’s because she loves Rodrigo so much, she carries him with her and that she’ll never love another man, and that she renounces love so that at least he can be happy even if it is with another.

Aaron and Minerva suggest that Ro & Isadora move back to the city. Rodrigo’s not psyched about that idea and says he’ll never move back there.

Back in the city….Gaviota goes off to work and her mom gives her a little blessing. At her new job—receptionist in a hotel—Gaviota looks hot in her uniform and Sr. Vallejo totally checks her out. Flavia, the sensibly dressed assistant to Sr. Vallejo, expresses dislike toward Gaviota and Nancy tells her that Flavia will make her life very difficult if she doesn’t like her. Sure enough, later Flavia throws some work her way and tells her to get to it, she wasn’t hired for her pretty face, but to do work! Well, actually Flavia, it seems her pretty face might have had a little something to do with her getting hired.

Rodrigo delivers a little monologue that lets us know that despite the complicated situation, he still loves and thinks about Gaviota. Isadora wakes up with a little fake cough and Ro tells her he has to go check on the harvest. She tells him she loves him. He responds, less than romantically, by telling her to take her medicine so she can get well enough to sign the divorce papers (well that’s what he meant).

Pilar & Aaron are discussing Rodrigo’s divorce. She continues to insist that divorce is not a possibility. Aaron says that hopefully with this ‘injury’ Isadora will make Ro forget all about the little working class tramp he’s in love with.

Erica is pursuing her gossip leads out in the field. A worker tells her about a discussion he overheard between Ro & Gaviota…Erica comes to the conclusion that Gaviota was pregnant by Ro. She runs to tell Isadora who freaks out.

Rodrigo is telling James how guilty he feels for Isadora’s accident. His guilt doesn’t really affect the fact that he doesn’t love her and still wants a divorce, though. He does decide to stop looking for Gaviota just while Isadora is recuperating. Crispin calls, saying that he’s found Gaviota. He speeds off in his truck to find her. So much for feeling guilty.

Nancy and Gaviota continue their idle chit chat at work. Nancy asks Gaviota if she met the queen when she was in England and tells her she wants to marry one of the princes. Gaviota tells her that rich men only marry in their own class. Later…Nancy notices how Sr. Vallejo smiles at Gaviota. In addition to keeping up with European nobility, Nancy also reads a very thick magazine about Mexico’s jet-set. She shows Gaviota her favorite guy in the magazine…Aaron Montalvo. Gaviota tells her she used to work for Aaron and she learned a lot. It appears that she is hatching a plan.

Isadora finds out that Rodrigo ran off to look for Gaviota. She calls in Roman to get some intel. He tells her that Ro & James went to Guadalajara and should be back in a couple hours.

Aaron goes to work in his office…he has a new secretary…Lluvia Camargo. She’s hot and he’s psyched. She’s such a good secretary that she tells him about his phone calls by slinking into his office and telling him in person. He tells her he’s going to give her a list of phone numbers that are to be kept confidential…especially from his wife (snark, snark). He takes the call from Eugenia and promises to spend the entire afternoon with her.

Minerva is at a doctor’s appointment, demanding to get pregnant quickly (um, I think you might be asking the wrong person there) since her marriage depends on it. Minerva gets home and gets a call from Isadora, who tells her that Rodrigo had a kid with Gaviota.

Rodrigo is at the farm in Guadalajara and realizes that they have found the wrong Gaviota. He’s upset.

Minerva goes to the office to talk to Aaron. She’s not pleased with the new secretary. Lluvia calls Aaron, who doesn’t answer the phone, telling Eugenia that he doesn’t want to be interrupted when he’s with her.

Rodrigo arrives back at home and Isadora starts yelling at him about where he’d been and where his kid is. He tells her he doesn’t have a child and has a flashback to when Gaviota told him she lost his child and tells her not to bother him with that memory again. She screams that she doesn’t believe him.
