Caray, Caray!

EPISODE - May 8, 2007 (#32; 6 de Marzo en esmas.com official site)
*Hilario and Isa are making out in her bedroom. The phone rings. Isa answers it - it's Fedra with the news that Minnie had a terrible accident and she lost the baby (Fedra is like boo-hoo-hoo bla-bla-bla ho-hum). Fedra asks where Sofia and Rod are - Isa says they are out at a town party. Fedra tells her to tell them the news when they return. They hang up. Isa looks over at Hilario standing there bewildered - Isa barks for him to leave now. He flies out of the room.

* At the hospital room, Aaron paces back and forth as Granny stands beside Minnie's bed. Aaron wonders why she hasn't awaken yet. Fedra enters to say she spoke with Isa and left a message for Rod and Sofia. Aaron is anxious and wants to go to work - Granny is outraged and scolds him for thinking of work when his wife needs him. Fedra sort of agrees with Granny. Granny forces Aaron to stay put with Minnie.

* Acacia is laying in her bed, remembering spying on James and Sofia laughing and dancing at the plaza dance. She turns on her side, curls up and she cries.

* In the ranch living room, Isa tells Sofia, James and Rod the message Fedra left - that Minnie had an accident and lost the baby. Sofia says they need to go be with her now. Rod says he can't go just yet, he has work to do at the ranch to get ready for spring harvest. Sofia asks James to go with them - James looks off in other directions and says that he also has ranch work to do with Meliton and can't leave either; he'll travel with Rod.

* Meliton antagonizes Acacia in their home on Dry Gulch Ranch. He wants to know if she was out of the house during the evening. She says no, she was there all night. He pulls her within kiss striking distance to be sure she is sincere in her response. Satisfied, he sits down on the couch as Acacia mentions his business meeting with "se~or ingles." He tells her about the harvest of the peanuts and the lack of a market in the area. She asks what ideas he has for the marketing of the peanuts - Meliton is frustrated and sarcastically asks Acacia for an idea. Acacia takes a moment and runs over to Meliton with her idea for burning the whole peanut crop, and replacing it with something more profitable - agave plants. That way they won't lose money. (and also a good way for Acacia to enact her revenge on James, too.)

* Isa and Sofia enter Isa's bedroom to talk. Sofia thinks that this is a perfect opportunity for Isa to get pregnant with Rod's child and have no obstacles to get grandpa's inheritance. Isa reminds Sofia of one important obstacle - Rod himself isn't interested in having sex with her, or giving up on his Gaviota. Sofia not see that as much of a problem.

* Fedra and Aaron in hospital hall talking about the accident and Minnie's state of mind. Doctor comes out of room - Aaron asks him how long before she can get pregnant again. Doctor says after examining her and all the test - if she recuperates steadily, then in six months she can get pregnant again. Fedra and Aaron choke with the news. Dr. leaves. Aaron shares his worries over Rod's search for Gaviota with Fedra. He is more worried than ever.

* Gavi talks with mom in apartment, about Minnie losing her baby. Gavi remembers how she felt when she lost her own baby. Mom hugs and consoles her. Mom says she can have other children - Gavi says there's only one man she wants to have children with - Rodrigooo - but now that's impossible because he's married.

* Rod sits at desk, twirling pencil in dark, recalling his conversation with Gaviota in the tent during the thunderstorm. She told him her feelings when she lost her baby. Rod says to himself, "our love story hasn't ended. one day we will be together and have many children. So it will be, Gaviota, So it will be."

* Gavi prays at home altar shelf for Minnie and her loss.

* James carries the suitcases and walks Sofia down stairs. Rod and Isa wait with Roman. James asks Sofia to make a reservation for him at a hotel for one night - long enough for an overnight sleep and then he will take a plane back to London. Sofia offers him a room for the night at Granny's mansion. James thanks her for the offer. The ladies say good-bye and James escorts them out to the car. Rod and Roman stay behind - Rod asks him about the distillery shipments and the workers for the spring harvest. Roman asks how long he will remain at the ranch - Rod says he wants to see the workers arrive, maybe Gaviota and her mom are with them.

* Mariana (Gavi) gets upset with Lopez on the phone - apparently there's a transportation glitch at the border crossing (the drivers can't cross). She hangs up as Nestor approaches and asks what's wrong. Mariana explains the problem with the border crossing, which will cause delays and problems for the rest of the product distribution network. Nestor tells Mariana to get him the paperwork, he'll see what he can do. Nestor leaves. Mariana starts to type on computer keyboard, Elvira says she'll go and fax something to Rodrigo at the ranch. Mariana nods, takes a deep breath and will wait for his response.

* Rod enters his office and finds the fax on his fax machine. He is very curious about what it is about. Elvira tells Mariana that Rod is on the phone. Mariana uses Aaron's office to take the call. Mariana speaks in her lower than normal voice; Rod royally scolds Mariana for sending such an incomplete unprofessional fax to him involving problems with the company. He hangs up. (how rude!) Mariana is shocked.

* Aaron with Minnie in her hospital room. Fedra listens as Minnie rants her depression over losing her unborn baby. Aaron tries to console her and say he feels sad over the loss too. She thinks he's only sad because he lost his key to grandpa's fortune. Aaron turns away from Minnie - Fedra comes to him to help him keep calm. He takes a deep breath and tries again to console Minnie. She's upset wondering if she can try again. Fedra says that when the time is right, they can try again - only the next time she will be mature about it.

* Mariana is in shock as she returns to her desk. Elvira opens her big mouth and starts to antagonize Mariana about being scolding over the phone by Rod. Elvira wants to know what he said to her. Mariana says it's none of her business. Mariana calls Margarita at the reception desk for help in getting the document information for Rod. Elvira sits and laughs at Mariana. "Ha-ha-ha. Enjoying all the hot gossip." Mariana mentions waiting for a call about Minnie. Elvira says the call already came in. Mariana asks about it - Elvira says no bad news for you, Minnie is out of danger and will go home tomorrow. Mariana turns to her computer screen and prays a thank you to G-d.

* On the restaurant balcony, Meliton and James meet to discuss the fields and harvests, especially of James' peanut crop. Problems with distribution and marketing are hampering the effort. James is worried about what will happen to his crops while he is away in Mexico City and London. Meliton tells him that Acacia suggested to burn the crops - James is stunned.

* Mariana and Margarita sit and gossip in whispers about Elvira. Elvira interrupts and gives Mariana some tissue; to use in case Rod yells at her on the phone and breaks her eardrums. Mariana and Margarita are scared. Mariana goes to her desk and takes the call. She uses her low voice to talk with Rod about the second fax that was just sent to him - the problem with the current seed (pipa). She suggests they should look into using another seed. This time the call ends peacefully. Rod thinks maybe he misjudged her, she's more intelligent that he assumed. Margarita, who listened to Mariana on the phone, asks her why she changed her voice - Mariana says she wants to be more respected.

* At hospital, Minnie wakes up and is startled to see Aaron sitting there on the sofa in her room. She thought he would be at work. They get into an argument about her jealousy which caused the accident. Aaron tells her his plan to keep it a secret between the two of them, no one else. Knock at the door. Aaron lets Sofia and Isa inside. Minnie tells them she's much better, especially since Aaron hasn't left her side the whole time.

* In the kitchen at Dry Gulch Ranch, Acacia is ripping out the guts from the chicken as Meliton enters. He mentions how hot it is outside and asks for a cup of water. Acacia drops the guts in a spare bowl and pours a cup. She leaves it on the table and returns to cutting the head off the chicken. She asks how the meeting with "Sr. Ingles" went. Meliton briefly fills her in - then mentions at first there's enthusiasm then later boredom.

* James talks with Rod in the office. Rod tells him about Sofia. James explodes over his meeting with Meliton and the problems with his peanut crops. He says that Acacia suggested burning the crops - HIS PEANUT CROPS! He's outraged. Rod offers his assistance. James declines, he wants to resolve this himself. James will have to cancel his trip to the capitol. Rod laughs at the ironic timing, due to the problem he has to fix for his own family business. He mentions Mariana Franco.

* In the hospital room, Sofia offers chocolates to Minnie - Minnie declines. Isa eats one and says it's delicious. Aaron takes two. Minnie asks Sofia about James - Sofia reports about the new beginning of their friendship. Isa remarks about the happiness of a true love story. A knock at the door. Aaron answers. Mariana is there to say hello to Minnie and bring her flowers. Aaron introduces her to Isa, Rod's wife (Gavi chokes on her saliva). Mariana enters and says hello to Sofia. She presents the flowers to Minnie. Minnie turns into a fiera beast and attacks Mariana for daring to even come. Aaron scolds Minnie for her jealousy and follows Mariana out the door.

* In the hallway, Aaron stop Mariana to apologize. Mariana understands. Aaron asks about the company - any problems he needs to handle. Mariana says there was one, but she has passed along all the information so Rod can handle it. Aaron's cell phone rings - it's Pamela calling him "Bichie" (I think). Mariana leaves. Aaron tells her about Minnie losing the baby and he can't see her right now. Pamela says that is fine, she's accompanying her dad to Germany so she will be out of touch with him anyway.

* At the ranch, a representative with the International Agri Congress meets with Rod in the living room. Rod is so excited about the convention being in Mexico City this year. The rep says it would be wonderful if Rod would speak at the convention about agave crops and production. Rod is intrigued until the representative mentions the date is March 26 -- nope, no can do. that's the middle of harvest and Rod can't leave. Representative tells Rod to think it over for a few days - but Rod is adamant in his decision about not leaving the ranch on that day.

* Sofia and Isa in hallway at hospital. Sofia is upset James stayed at ranch. Isa is getting used to it - Rod refuses to leave the ranch, or stop obsession over Gaviota search, for nothing. Sofia says don't worry one way or another he will give up Gaviota. Aaron comes out of the room to join them - Minnie finally fell asleep. Isa asks for a ride back to her penthouse. Aaron offers to drive her. Isa bluntly asks Aaron if he is in any way involved with Mariana or Pamela. Aaron is stunned by the question and defends himself and his marriage. Sofia asks about the photo of him with Pamela - he says that she is an old friend nothing more.

* Pamela holds a photo of her and Aaron - she cries that they are now just simply friends - friends on occasion.

* Gavi prays to the virgin about Minnie again. Clara enters smiling and talkative. She asks about the flowers - Gavi explains they were for Minnie but she rejected them. They go to the kitchen - Gavi opens the manila envelope to check the legal papers for changing her name to Mariana permanently. Clara is fixing sandwiches for lunch. Gavi tells her mom about talking on the phone with Rod. Clara is stunned, intrigued - Gavi says she used her Mariana persona and voice so Rod wouldn't know it was her. Gavi then tells mom about meeting Isa at the hospital; she says Isa is very beautiful now she knows how he fell in love with her.

* At penthouse, as Isa says good night to Aaron at the door. Aaron casually, very subtle invites himself inside for a nightcap (whiskey). They sit down and discuss Isa's marriage to Rod. She confides her frustration to him.

* Gavi has her head down on the countertop and thinks of Rod and their rainstorm conversation - he loves her and only her. Mom consoles her and knows what she's thinking about. Gavi is frustrated and tired of always thinking about Rod. Clara thinks same thing happened to the soap character Berenice in "Corazones Enga~adas". Gavi says but this is different because it isn't tragedy. With a new name, she will take on her identity and new life and not make room for love or any man to hurt her again.

* Rod talks with sis Dani over the phone - Dani is on a theatrical road tour in Chicago now.

* Acacia runs away from the hacienda. James sees her and yells to her. Ofelia comes out to escort him inside.

* In office, Rod is hard at work. James sits down and is depressed about his peanut farm harvest - no buyers anywhere. Rod says to stay calm. James can't calm down, it's a matter of his honor and dream. Rod tells him he is playing a dangerous game with Acacia at the ranch. James realizes it and he just saw her now at this hacienda. Rod is shocked that she was there. James is determined to save his crops and not let Meliton or Acacia burn them. Rod changes the subject and tells James about the International Ag Congress convention in Mexico City - he can't attend because it is on March 26 (his date with Gavi). James can't believe he would rather blow off his family and this convention for her. Rod tells his friend off for even saying that.

* Isa talks with Aaron about her husband and her increasing sexual obsession since he won't even touch her. Aaron starts to seduce her and tell her what he supposes she wants to hear. He plants a huge hard kiss on her lips - she responds.
