Caray, Caray!

Rodgrigo is talking to the photo of his late grandfather in his study at the hacienda. Rod says he doesn't need to go to church to honor Amador when Rodrigo already feels close to his grandfather by working the land. Rod remembers his grandfather's last jima two years ago with sadness, but then brightens up. For the next jima, Gaviota will return!

Isa, in her bedroom, remembers that the upcoming jima means Gavi might be back.

Several days later, we see Hilario on horseback, riding up to the tree where Don Amador is buried. Rod is there with his horse. Hilario tells Rod the workers have arrived.

Roman has a clipboard and greets the workers as they arrive. Rod observes at a distance, on his horse. Isa is also nearby, spying on Rod. Roman gives the signal that Gavi didn't return. Bad news for Rod, Isa is thrilled!

In DF, everyone is gathered outside a church, waiting for Don Amador's Mass to start. Aaron and Minnie approach Dona Pilar, "we're here." They want to know, where is Rod? Pilar says, don't talk about him.

Mariana, in a dark pantsuit, is greeting people as they enter the church. Minnie gives her a dirty look as they pass by. Gavi's admirer from the tequila meeting gives her arm a squeeze as he passes by.

In church, the priest is talking and Aaron is nodding off. Gavi also closes her eyes and remembers when she first saw Rod, getting out of the car at the hacienda. She opens her eyes, and the guy who squeezed her arm is turned around to grin at her with a stupid look on his face. She looks away from him. Later she looks behind her and does a double take to see Clarita at the church, praying in the back. Clarita is praying to Amador, saying they will see each other again some day. Gavi turns back around to see Mr. Tequila, still with the grin, leaning toward her in anticipation.

Later that night, Gavi confronts Clarita. Why was Clarita at the church, why is she so sad that she has been crying all day? Clarita is pouty and does not want to say much. Finally, Clarita says that she knew Amador before Gavi was born, had a lot of respect for him, and he was closer to her than a relative. Gavi hugs her mom.

La familia is gathered at Dona Pilar's and all eyes are on Rod and Isa as they arrive. Isa greets Pilar and apologizes for not being at the Mass. Pilar tells her not to worry. Rod leans in to kiss Pilar ("how are you?") and she leans away. Aaron pulls Rod away, and they start talking tequila. Bruno and Aaron start going at each other, Bruno is concerned about the price of Aaron's project putting the rest of the business in danger.

Minerva is ready to pounce, and asks Aaron to tell everyone who he put in charge while he is working on his new project: Mariana Franco! Minnie helpfully points out that there is a requirement that the boss be a Montalvo. Bruno agrees. There is discussion about who should take over the job instead of Mariana. Aaron, Bruno, and Patricio say they can't do it. Aaron, drink and cigar in hand, approaches Rod and says he is the perfect person for the job. Rod is confused. Isa and Sophia come over to convince Rod to take the job. Rod blows up at everyone and says that they don't appreciate the job he is doing at the hacienda and are worried that Gaviota will return and he'll marry a jimadora! Grandma Pilar is mad and wants the familia to stop talking about the business and the hacienda.

The next day at work, Gavi tells Aaron she can't go to the junta, she's sick and needs to go to the doctor. He tells her no. Rod and Isa stroll into the lobby and ask for their plane tickets. The receptionist tells them the tickets are for tomorrow and Rod gets mad. Mariana Franco is responsible for that, and he is going to go up to talk to her. Gavi gets a call that Rod is on his way up. What to do?! She grabs a blue scarf to put over her hair and sunglasses, sitting down just as there's a knock at the door.

Rod comes into Gavi's office, angry about the tickets and yelling at her. They argue. Sophia comes in also, greets Rod and Isa. Rod sees the watch on Gavi's arm and is impactado. Isa and Sophia leave for the cafeteria. Rod tells Gavi to look him in the eyes and she doesn't. He leans down and turns her chin toward him, taking off the sunglasses. She is staring at him with big eyes. He says, it's you. They lean in close and are happy for a moment in their own little world.

Just then, Aaron opens the door. Rod and Gavi spring apart and start yelling at each other about the plane tickets. Aaron is thrilled, you've met my assistant, isn't she great? Gavi is glazed eyed. The primos leave and Rod tells Gavi they'll talk later.

At the cafeteria, Isa tells Sophia the real reason they weren't at church was that Rod was waiting for the jimadora to return. And by the way, Rod doesn't like Mariana. Minnie arrives, anticipating Mariana's destruction.

Gavi is in a trance in her office, then she realizes the is in trouble. She calls her mom. The Montalvos could throw her in jail if Rod tells them who she is. What to do? Clarita gives her some advice, based on a telenovela she remembers and tells her to be strong.

The junta is underway and Pilar tells everyone that she had a dream that Amador was not happy. Rod is thinking about how he removed Gavi's disguise. More talk about Mariana's position, who should take it? Elvira is listening outside the door with anticipation, Bruno closes the door. Rod agrees to take the position, everyone is shocked and/or thrilled. Grandma is happy.

Aaron calls Mariana into the meeting room, she thinks this is the end of her job. Rod is thrilled to see her and grinning at her. Aaron tells her to sit down, and they talk about the job arrangements. Bruno tells Marina about the Montalvo rule. Minnie, who has to be restrained, tells Gavi that she's not in charge anymore, Rod will be her new boss!

Rod looks at Gavi, she is shocked. Rod will need some info on the details of the job from Gavi, right uncle Bruno? Pilar wants the family to reconcile, especially Aaron and Minnie and Rod and Isa. Now that Isa and Rod will be in the city, Pilar thinks their marriage will be more solid. Gavi is looking ill. Isa toasts to her and Rod's first wedding anniversity. Rod looks grim. Gavi excuses herself. The family celebrates. Aaron wants to give Isa a hug.

Later, outside in the hallway, Isa tells Rod she has a special surprise for him. Daniela mocks Isa after she leaves and talks to Rod about marking both his anniversary and divorce.

Rod finds Gavi in her office and they have words. He wants to know why she changed her name and is working for the Montalvos. She tells him it just happened. Rod wants to know why he didn't hear any news of her, why she didn't come back. She says that person, who she was before, no longer exists. That died when he got married.

He says he never has touched Isa, etc. They have very specific rules for their marriage. Gavi wants to know why Isa would agree to something like that. And why Rod would stay with someone he doesn't love. He tries to explain, the problem is the Isa loves him. Gavi tells Rod that he makes her sick!
