Caray, Caray!

Tuesday's episode begins with a discussion between Lala and Pancho, who are discussing Diego's strange behavior. He seems very tense, and not worried about the baby. Synthesizers of doom tell us that this conversation will come back to haunt us...

Diana calls Max to tell him that she knows where Maxito is!

Next Marfil goes to visit Octavia to tell her that without O's help, she may lose Max forever! They agree that Max must not learn that Marfil made Bruna promise to keep the baby's whereabouts a secret, or that Diego was involved, since he's a good ally to have. They agree that Bruna must die, and they're off to TeleMiama hospital to smother her with a pillow. Bruna realizes what they're going to do and dies of a heart attack right before their eyes. The doctor comes in a few seconds after she dies to announce that there was nothing he could do. What kind of crazy hospital is this, anyway?

Ignacio and Camila are released from jail in time for primo Eduardo to arrive with his wife Fiona, who was Max's first girlfriend and she's never forgotten his besos. She wastes no time in calling him to set up a meeting, and he agrees because his marriage is over and his love for Diana is going nowhere fast. He may as well rekindle an old flame.

Max, Diana, and Fedora go to Isabel's apartment to pick up Maxito. Diego stays at the mansion so that he's not a burden in his wheelchair. When they arrive, Fedora recognizes Izabel & asks if she took the baby to avenge her nephew's death. Isabel denies it and our glassy eyed heroine notes that Maxito was well taken care of, he's clean and wearing clean clothes. Max offers to pay Eugenia and Isabel, but Eugenia refuses it out of fear that it will look like they accepted ransom money.

Pancho comes to visit Diego at the mansion and is surprised to see Silvia there. As luck would have it, Nancy has just given Silvia a glass of warm milk to take to Dona Santa, so Pancho gets the warm milk thrown in his face.

Yolanda has a new look to go with her new man - her hair's down and wavy, and Rene loves it.

The Caramelo/Pancho/Paola love triangle continues... Octavia has Paola locked up in Paco's apartment and won't let her leave, which means that Pancho has some free time to spend at the beach with Caramelo, who thinks it would be a great idea to move back into Lala's house with him. Of course he agrees to this, but won't agree that she'll be the only woman in his life - his heart's too big for that! Later she talks to him about how great it would be if they had a baby, which obviously isn't something that Pancho's up for.

Marfil is strolling around the pool in a lime green bathing suit and matching head wrap when she calls Diana to inform her that she and Max plan to sue her for full custody of Maxito. Octavia stops by for a little visit and loves hearing about this plan.

Fedora goes to see Rodrigo again, and they're awfully chummy. I think we have a love connection here, folks. He's optimistic about Gaby's case and offers to take Fedora to lunch to discuss it. After lunch they return to the mansion to find Paco waiting for Fedora's return. There's an awkward introduction, and neither man wants to leave, so Fedora asks Lala to bring coffee for everyone.

The episode ends with Diana confronting Max about Marfil's threat. He asks why it shouldn't be him and Marfil raising Maxito instead of Diana and Diego. She asks him if he wants to start a war between them? He asks the same of her, and credits roll.
