Caray, Caray!

In the opening scene, Diego has Max at gunpoint and Max is telling him to go ahead and kill him. Diego cracks him in the mouth to shut him up.

Next we move to the only happy couple on the show - Rene and Yolanda, who are discussing their wedding plans. Since the Irazabals have been dethroned, they have no friends so it will only be family. Rene's family has just left for a 3 month vacation in Germany, so they won't be there for the nuptials. Larry arrives and asks if they've heard from Max, and Yolanda responds that she hasn't, but she's sure that he's at the fabrica.

Meanwhile, as usual, Diana is crying as she thinks about her impossible love for Max when Fedora interrupts to let her know that it would be best if she just forgot about him and let Fedora find a suitable man for her. If she doesn't, she will lose her position as president of the fabrica.

Back at Ignacio's place, Fiona is telling Eduardo that she would like to host a small party, but Eduardo has an important business dinner planned. He will have dinner with her on Saturday - this really puts Fiona into full fiera mode! She tells him that he forgets that he has a wife monday - friday, and maybe she should get herself a hottie on the side. Needless to say, this doesn't sit well with Eduardo.

Back to the torture of Max, where Max tells Diego that he better kill him because if he doesn't, he will kill Diego. Diego walks out and Max swears to himself that Diego will pay!

At the mansion, Fedora's telling Diana that she will be a simple employee if she doesn't give up her love for Max. Diana tells her that her love for Max was before her presidency at the fabrica. Fedora tells her that she will resume the presidency and the first thing she'll do is fire Max. Diana runs to her room to cry like a school girl, and Miguelina follows her to see why she's crying. Diana tells her the story, and Miguelina is sympathetic that Diana has so much love for the father of her child, but he's caused her so much pain already, and he's the son of Octavia. Diana says that's not his fault. She loves him and always will. blah blah blah. We've heard it all before.

Fiona the fiera is still screaming in Eduardo's face about how Eduardo forgets that he has a wife every day but Saturday. He tells her that they will discuss this later and walks out. Camila comes in and lets Fiona know that she knows that she has her sights set on Max. Fiona tells her to stay out of her business.

Silva is still at the beach wearing her blue mermaid getup when Rene calls her cell to tell her that he's worried about Paola because Octavia has her locked up at Paco's apartment and won't let her leave. Sylvia agrees to go see her the next day and she'll call him afterwards with an update.

Diego arrives at Lala's and Lala wants to know why he hasn't let Diego go yet. She tells him that he has to do it so that she doesn't have to report him and Pancho to the police. He lets her know that if he lets Max go, Max will kill him. Lala is impactada.

Gaby, Caramelo, and Sylvia are trying to comfort Diana, who's heartbroken over losing her job as president. Little does she know that the love of her life is being beaten and tortured by Diego! Caramelo is distracted and excuses herself. Diana is still babbling about her impossible love.

Eduardo summons Fiona into the living room to tell her that she better not repeat what she said earlier in the day. They're not in their home and they don't need to be putting on a show. Eduardo retires to the bedroom and Fiona calls Max and leaves him a desperate voicemail that she needs him.

Larry is still worried about Max, and calls Diana to see if she knows where he is. She tells him not to worry - she's sure that he's taking care of the employee who was hurt on the job. Larry tells her not to give up on Max, and she responds that she doesn't want to talk about it, and hangs up.

Rodrigo has arrived at the mansion to join Fedora and the rest of the inhabitants of the house for dinner. She looks a little overdressed for a family dinner in her glittery sundress and white bow around her neck. She tells Rodrigo that he should marry, as a man is not born to be alone. He responds that he's been waiting for the right woman to be by his side for always.

Caramelo managed to sneak off and call Lala for an update and learns that it's true - Diego and Pancho have kidnapped Max and Lala doesn't know what to do about it. Diego has told her that before the police catch him Max will be a dead man. She doesn't know how she will come to work in the mansion in the morning! Caramelo agrees to cover for her - she'll says that Lala is sick.

Little do they know that as they speak, Pancho is taunting Max, telling him that he's not going to release him because he knows that Max will kill him if he does. And it doesn't matter that Lala knows because Lala is his mom and she won't turn him in. Cut to commercial.

Back from commercial, Fedora is introducing Rodrigo to the odd group of people living at the mansion, including Dona Santa, who tells him that she's been looking for a husband for one of her dolls, and a lawyer would be perfect. Gaby tells them that Diana won't be joining them for dinner because she has a headache, and Fedora seems surprised to hear this.

Diego arrives to harrass Max, and Max tells him to let him go. Diego has a plan - he will let him go if Max agrees not to try to do anything to Diego, including calling the police. He's the owner of his destiny, he just needs to think about what he wants. Max is still hanging from the ceiling covered in blood as Diego turns and leaves.

At the fabrica, little doormat is serving Fedora her morning coffee as she mentions to her that taking the presidency from Diana might have been a little harsh. Fedora doesn't want to talk about it, and tells her that she will be firing Max today, so let her know when he's arrived.

Fiona pops into Emilio's office looking for Max wearing a skin tight top covered in cabbage roses with matching jeans - I haven't seen an outfit like this since 1989. Emilio is happy to see her and tells her that she's as beautiful as always. She tells him that her marriage is falling apart and she won't rest until she gets Maxi Maxi back. Diana is at the door and hears what she says. Commercial break.

When we return from the break, Sylvia is standing in Octavia's living room. O doesn't really want her there and tells her to keep the visit short. When O leaves the room Paola begs Sylvia to help her escape.

At the fabrica, Fiona is still talking about her plans for Max when Diana enters the room. Emilio is impactado, but recovers and introduces Diana as the president of the fabrica and Diana quickly adds that she's also the mother of Max's baby and offers her hand. Fiona refuses to take it, and tells her that she's heard about her from Octavia.

Paola is in luck - Sylvia has come prepared to save her. She's brought a huge candleholder that they can use to crack Octavia in the head, then they'll take the keys and leave! They call Octavia into the room and ask her to open the door for Sylvia. Octavia turns her back on Sylvia and Sylvia hits her and knocks her out instantly. They take the keys to Paco's car and sneak out while he's in the shower.

At the fabrica, Lala arrives and tells Caramelo that she needs to talk to Diana because she's the only one who can save Max.

Sylvia's driving Pancho's SUV. They're giggling and being silly when Sylvia crashes into another woman's car. It's a very slow motion crash, showing the other woman flailing around in her car and then we see shattered glass flying, but Paola and Sylvia appear unscathed.

Lala and Caramelo enter Diana's office to let her know that Diego is holding Max captive. Diana is speechless, como siempre.

Pan out to a vision of Max's bloody body hanging as he says Diana's name...

Back to Diana's office, Diana can't believe what Lala has told her. Lala begs her to talk to Diego, because it's preferable to love a man who's alive than a man who's dead. Caramelo tells her that she must do it. Diana gives her usual glassy eyed stare in response.

We return to Paco's apartment, where he's discovered that Octavia's been hit by Silvia so that she could leave with Paola.

Max is still hanging and thinking about Diana...

Diana goes to see Diego. She walks into the living room and tells him that Lala has told her everything and she's come to beg him not to hurt Max. He agrees, but says that first he's going to tell him a small lie - he's going to tell him that she was his woman! Diana is impactada.
