Caray, Caray!

Minnie hands over the USB memory and a CD to the judge saying that this is proof that demonstrates her husband is a crook. Aaron is now wide-eyed-my-goose-is-cooked impactado; Rod is jumping for joy impactado behind his jail bars. Realizing what's in store for them all, Bruno is devastated. Fedra is ready to bite her nails down to the quick as Minnie tells Aaron in front of the whole courtroom that she warned him when she found him in the hot-tub with Pamela Torreblanca that what he was doing to the family and to the business was criminal and she knew he was adulterating his tequila. Aaron scrambles to tell the judge that this is simply a reprisal of a jealous wife because of their marital problems. The judge and the M.P. have their doubts and has her sit down to answer Videgaray's questions.

On the record Minnie tells Nestor that on the CD (which Pammy had the investigative law firm make but didn't have the stomach to use against Aaron) is a detailed rundown of all the illegal shipments, dates and destinations Aaron made regarding Turquoise Agave. Aaron tells the judge that it is a skillful ploy by the defense to destroy him and that the judge shouldn't be fooled by two jealous and resentful women -- a bad move, considering the judge is a woman herself. Guess Aaron never heard of a thing called Karma.

Minnie takes out the mini-cassette for the judge and M.P. and puts it into the recorder she's brought along just for this purpose and plays it. On it is Aaron asking Pam for the USB back, definitely telling her how he'll be happy as a pig in mud to get hold of it. She testifies that Aaron and Oñate used Rod and Mariana Franco and that Lluvia was forced, along with Patricio, to participate in his schemes. In particular, Lluvia was pressured and didn't participate in the planning and never received anything in return. As for Mariana Franco, she says, with a definite pucker and a frown as she looks at her hands in her lap, she has no evidence of her involvement in anything.
===========

Meanwhile, in London Gavi is trying to get some news about Montalvo Corp.'s situation from her contact, Lascuráin, who says all he knows is that the family is involved in some sort of irregular liquor exportation scandal. She discusses the situation with Alonso who asks if the Montalvo's could truly have been involved in something like that. Gavi tells him about the rumors when she worked for the Corporation and how when she and Rod went to the various ports to investigate they were unable to find anything out of order.
========

Back at the hearing Minnie accuses Fedra of being complicit. Fedra jumps up and tries to claim it's a conspiracy and to run out of the room, but she is stopped by Bruno, who throws her back in her chair and tells her she's not going anywhere till the hearing is over.
===========

Gavi continues her conversation with Alonso and makes some nasty aside that Rod is probably in his hacienda right now, so who knows what's up with him.
=============

The judge accepts the evidence and Vid makes a plea to the judge to accept the testimonies of all involved along with the USB and the CD and to exonerate his client from all charges. The judge decides in Rod's favor. (Cheers all around.) Bruno freezes Fedra out with one mean, icy stare before he walks off. Pat goes to Lluvia and assures her they'll soon be together again.

Through the cell bars Rod thanks Pat for his testimony and Pat apologizes for covering up for Aaron all this time and says he's ashamed of his actions then walks away. Rod confronts Aaron. "Come here, Aaron!" Rod is smiling through a triumphant sneer. Aaron walks over as Rod tells him soon he'll be taking his place behind these bars. Aaron tells him it's not over till its over and threatens that he is going to make certain Gavi is brought back from London and jailed. "I'm certain you'd rather see her behind bars than together with Alonso Santoveñia," he taunts, trying in a last ditch effort to make Rod believe that she's thrown him over for her ex-boss. "You've certainly seen the news footage on television." Rod swears to Aaron that he'll do everything in his power to stop Aaron from having the pleasure of seeing Gaviota behind bars.

Rod congratulates Aaron then in his successful attempt to destroy the business, the family, and his father's moral support, not to mention getting him thrown into jail, but says he won't be at peace until he's seen Aaron stripped of everything. He's going to be the one picking Aaron's cell and will make certain it is the most remote, dark and narrow little space there is since he's now going to be suing Aaron! In fact, he plans on coming to visit Aaron weekly just to make sure and to take comfort in his being there. Aaron sneers back and says forget it, it isn't gonna happen 'cuz the likes of Aaron Montalvo wasn't made for jail.

The judge then informs Vid that Gavi is exonerated from any charges also. Nestor, Dani and Sofia promise to call Gavi and to tell her all that's happened and what Rod did for her. They promise they'll have her there the next day, even. Rod says he's dying to get out but doesn't intend to look for Gavi now since he figures she's involved with Alonso over in Europe and she is over him. Dani scolds him for saying this and tells him it's only work related and that he knows better than anyone how much she loves him. He finally gives in and says they can call her for him. Then Nestor tells him that he should be out of jail in 48 hours. No one lets on about Pilar's stroke and being close to death.
=========

Oñate is on the telephone and laughing at the fact that in Tubaloo there were several dead people because they had to add methanol to the distilling processing as the filler, and the dummies drank it. He's laughing his head off because of it when Interpol agents arrive and slap handcuffs on him.
================

Elvis is very emotional and he cries to Pilar that she's his only grandmother, that he'd give up being with Dani, the love of his life, if she asked him to, provided that she'd wake up from her coma. Pilar hears him it seems, at some level, and though she's still got her eyes closed, she reaches for him and squeezes his hand.
==========

Back at what's left of Montalvo Corp. and Aaron's office, Bruno is yelling at Patricio that he saved nobody. In fact, he tells him, Pat cold bloodedly manipulated Rod into jail, ended his career, destroyed the company's reputation and the family's good name, right along with the shipping company he ran, all things that his father labored for years to sustain; and if that weren't all, he along with Aaron, brought his mother to the brink of death.

When Bruno opens the door to leave there are Aaron and Fedra listening to everything through the cracks. Bruno tells Aaron they'll get decent lawyers, ones with a sense of ethics to defend them and they'll face their consequences like men. Aaron ignores this and tries to persuade Patricio to flee to Tubaloo with him. He refuses and Bruno demands they both stay and face their consequences with dignity. God knows where they'll find it, but he won't stand to have his family, on top of everything else, become a horde of fugitives from the law.

Fedra screams at Bruno then for blaming it all on his son. He gives her a disgusted look and says Aaron's not the only one to blame; she's also to blame. He doesn't even know her anymore and he wonders how she could have covered for such vile, mean deeds.

As Bruno walks away he says to Aaron and Patricio, "Well, I guess you'll have to learn what it is to be decent men --like your grandfather, and like me-- from behind bars."
=========

In another conference room Soto, Aaron and Patricio consider their fate and their options. Pat apologizes for turning on blood but says Aaron left him no alternative. Aaron again tries to convince him to go to Tubaloo with him where he is certain they'll be safe. Pat says no, he is not leaving Lluvia and walks out.

Soto then advises Aaron to change his destination as a month ago there was a mass fatality in Tubaloo due to the population ingesting the liquor concoction he sold through Oñate. Aaron dismisses this because it was all sold through a ghost company and the mishap cannot be traced to him. Soto leaves in frustration.

Aaron calls Minnie from the empty conference room to come join him. He knows all is lost and he has to flee the country. Otherwise he'll be sent to prison and he would rather die first. (We can only hope.) He has the nerve to tell her that she overdid it with the vengeance thing, because he did it all for the three of them, and that he forgives her and would really like one last chance. He doesn't want to lose her and the child. Minnie's eyes are swollen from a whole day of tears; she refuses to join him and says they're over. She hangs up and cries over losing him.
================

Totally ignoring the nurse's orders to leave Pilar's restricted room in the INTENSIVE CARE area, Dani and Sofia have rushed in determined to give Pilar the exciting news that Rod was let free and will be getting out of jail soon.
==========

Fedra rushes to speak with Bruno. He has things to think over and doesn't want her around. She whines that he is being too hard on her for making a mistake. Bruno, totally disgusted with her, realizes who he's been married to all this time, and tries to forcibly throw her out, but she clings to him. "--A mistake?" he asks her in disbelief. "A mistake that finished off everything!!" "--How can you let your children be put in jail?" she screams. "If you won't help them then I will!"

The phone rings and Bruno answers. He says, "Well, Patricio, that was to be expected." Fedra asks what Patricio wanted. Bruno says, "That was the police coming to take Patricio to jail. Don't feel strange if the next one is from your son." He turns on his heel and leaves. Fedra is crying hysterically.
==========

Pilar must have heard the girls' exciting news at some conscious level. She starts gasping for air and begins suffering cardiac failure. The sisters turn hysterical while Elvis races out to look for the people with the crash carts.
=================

In his lonely jail cell Rod turns and fingers his taped up newspaper photo of Gavi (the one he must have ripped out when nobody was looking that day a while back). He thinks to himself that he hopes she will forgive him for having told her he didn't love her and that he trusts in her love being greater than her disappointment in him.
===========

In the waiting room Dani, Sofia, Elvis and James are worried that Pilar will die. Sofia says it'll all be on Aaron's head if she does. (Well, not quite, you ditz! They told you not to bother the old lady. She was in intensive care, after all. They call it that for a reason! I-N-T-E-N-S-I-V-E- C-A-R-E, as in any unusual excitement or shock to the system can kill, duh!)
=========

In his chartered jet Aaron is on his cell with Oñate telling him the plan is to relocate to Tubaloo for a little while and so he should fly out first thing the next morning and meet Aaron in Molucas Palas. Oñate asks about Minnie joining them. Aaron says he's certain when she gets over her tantrum she'll catch up to him. As the camera pulls back we see that this is all a ruse by Interpol to track Aaron down using Oñate as bait.
=========

At the hospital Bruno arrives as the doctor tells the family that Pilar has suffered a respiratory problem and her blood pressure is very high. If they cannot control it she may not last the night.

===========

Back in Gavi's posh pad in that very fashionable part of London overlooking the Thames, with an impressive view of Big Ben and Parliament, Alonso says good-bye to Clarita and Gavi. Before he leaves he suggests that he and Gavi spend their vacation together. She says that she'll think about it and they'll talk when they get back from their business trips. He smiles, gives her a peck on the cheek, then leaves.

Once Alonso is gone Clarita complains to Gavi that God will never forgive her if she's got Alonso going around with false hopes again. She asks Gavi to accept the fact that she might be starting to feel something for her ex-boss after all. At first Gavi objects, saying she's not in love with him, but then she smiles and says that he's respectful of her and treats her well, and that she feels happy and comfortable when she's with him. Clarita smiles and says, "Well then, you see. You are attracted to him." Gavi has to admit that she probably is.
==========

Pat is now in jail with Rod and keeping him company at dinner. Pat apologizes again and Rod says he knows he was only being blackmailed and pressured by Aaron. The important thing is that he came clean and told the truth, so surely he won't be in jail very long. Rod promises then that Pat will have the full support of the family once Rod is released and out.

Back in her room Pilar's vital signs go flat. She suddenly opens her eyes to a bright white enveloping light.
