* Rod and James talk at the hacienda office. Isa interrupts. James leaves. Rod goes back to desk to work. He asks if she has everything ready to leave with him. She surprises him, she's staying at the hacienda using the excuse that she gets so lonely at the condo with no one to talk with. Rod is shocked. Isa warns Rod not to try to deceive him behind her back or he'll be 'playing with fire'. She blows him a kiss and leaves.

* Gavi and Clara get ready for bed and continue discussing the differences between Alonso and Rod.

* Rod goes with his horse to visit his grandpa and papa's graves in the agave field family cemetery. He tells them about his new project that he's totally thrilled about. He pours three glasses of the new organic tequila at the gravesites. He toasts them with the tequila. He dumps two of the glasses out on the graves and with the third, he crosses himself and then drinks it. He listens to the wind howl and watches as the candles are blown out.

Gavi picks up the phone and Rod thanks her for the kiss imprints and then asks her out on a date. She can't tonight, she has to work. How about tomorrow? No good, she has to work - big conference coming up. Rod is totally deflated and disappointed. Gavi asks why is it so important they have to meet on a date. Rod says he needs to talk with her, it's about their future together - but if she's that busy... Gavi reluctantly comes up with a compromise - she will call him later if she has some free time available. He agrees.

* Rod and the graphics designers are going over the latest rendition of the label for the new tequila, "Ardiente Pasion". Rod takes one of the kiss imprints from his desk and thinks it should go on the label also. The designers look at him like he's crazy - it may have to be done by hand, they reason. Rod says whatever it takes - he wants it on the label. They leave to get to work.

* Gavi works on her computer. Nancy enters her office with the guest list for conference. Gavi notices that Montalvo Corp. is on the list and questions why? Nancy explains they are a foreign distributor. Alonso enters to talk with Gavi about a special event tonight. Gavi, surprised, agrees to it. Alonso leaves - as he passes Nancy's desk, he tells Nancy to get Gavi's mom on the phone for him (it's a surprise for Gavi). Nancy calls Clara at home, puts her through to Alonso - Alonso invites Clara to a special surprise dinner for Gavi tonight. Clara is delighted.
