Caray, Caray!

Frijolito is busted trying to break out of the orphanage. When he tries to explain his mission to the Mother Superior, he is cut off before he can give the great reveal that would bring about the end to this saga. All he says is that he needs to help their patron. MS tells him all he’s done is make things worse for himself; they’ll probably punish him for years.

Chuco misses Gloria and gives her a call in Guadalajara. He tells her she needs to come back to DF or he’ll go there. Gloria gives Silvana a call to fill her in and Silvana is appropriately worried that Chuco’s arrival would ruin her plans. While on the phone with her daughter, Gloria refers to Azulcena as Azul, which Azulcena overhears. She demands to know what’s going on. Silvana overhears the commotion on the other end and she tells her mom that she’s coming there; she needs to deal with this in person.

Diego tells his mother about his proposal to Silvana. Clemi is happy to know that Diego is willing to make this kind of sacrifice for his child (twisted, warped thinking, IMO). Diego tells Clemi that Silvana didn’t say yes; instead, she says she’s got to think about it. Clemi finds this a bit strange, but then moves onto other gossip. She gives Diego the low down on what happened with Lidia and Tavo.

Speaking of Tavo, he’s getting an “I told you so” lecture from Efrain. Tavo knows that he was insecure and now he’s sure of Lidia’s love. She’s changed and he didn’t. Diego shows up to beat Tavo up for hurting his sister---what a mature way to handle the situation. Tavo does a good job convincing Diego that he truly loves his sister because the next time we see Diego, he’s talking to Lidia about forgiving Tavo and never giving up on your true love. Tavo’s next scene is him telling Efrain that he’s going to get Lidia back.

Silvana shows up in Guadalajara. Gloria tells her daughter that she can’t continue helping her. Silvana begs and cries. She tells Gloria that Diego proposed to her and if he finds out that Azul is alive, he’ll abandon her and her baby. Gloria doesn’t seem to fall for the crocodile tears, though she is moved by her daughter’s plight. Silvana switches to full out emotional blackmail. She tells her mother that she must prefer Azul over her and that if Gloria is not with her, then she’s against her (it is really a black and white world that Silvana lives in). Gloria tries to reason with her, but it is in vain. She tells Silvana that Azulcena now knows who she is. Silvana wants an Azulcena update before she talks to her. Gloria says that after she hung up the phone, Azulcena was in such a state they called the doctor. Silvana’s upset that something might have happened to the baby. Gloria assures her that everything’s fine, but Azulcena has to rest. Silvana goes to talk to her rival.

In her room, Azul confronts Silvana. She wants to know why this is the second time that someone’s called her Azul. She knows that Silvana knows who she really is and she demands to be told her identity. Silvana fesses up some truth---she’s Azul and she is the wife of Diego Moran. Azulcena is shocked; her husband is Silvana’s baby-daddy? Then the lies start to pour out of Silvana. She tells Azulcena that Diego and she have been lovers for quite some time; Diego never loved his wife, didn’t want her to have the baby, and was planning on divorcing her. That’s why when she came up missing he didn’t even bother to look for her. Azulcena says she was married to a some sort of monster. Silvana mentions Caty and this piques Azulcena’s interest. Silvana says that she’s Diego’s adopted daughter and the reason he adopted her was because she was the child of Silvana’s best friend. Azulcena says this all can’t be possible. She demands to know why Silvana didn’t tell her this before. Gloria, who’s been listening at the door, picks this time to come into the conversation, but Silvana shuts her mother down before she can disrupt her string of lies. Silvana shows Azulcena the paper announcing her engagement to Diego. She rubs in that Diego didn’t even wait two months after Azul’s “death” to propose. Azulcena wants to know what happened, how’d she lose her memory. Silvana says that she found out the truth about Silvana and Diego being lovers and took off upset and had an accident. Azulcena doesn’t understand why no one else looked for her. Silvana tells her that her mom’s dead and her father is a work-a-holic who’s got no time for her. Azulcena questions why Silvana’s been trying to help her. Silvana says she felt bad that Diego never loved her and she was just trying to help Azulcena build a new life. Azulcena calls her a manipulator. Silvana says she’s told Diego that Azul’s alive but he wanted nothing to do with her any more and he’s happy that she’s found a new man (LuisFe). This is too much for Azulcena to take and she faints.

Julio and Arnie are helping celebrate the end of Emilia’s first trimester with her and Alfredo. Alfie even brought her a gift for the baby. He presents her with a life insurance policy, just in case something were to happen to him he wants to make sure that he’s provided for his child. Mario makes a house call and gives Emilia the ‘all’s well’ clearance. He suggests she might want to have an amnio, but she tells him that she and Alfie have decided that no matter what, they are having this baby so there is no real reason to find out if anything is wrong, because it doesn’t matter.

Gloria shows concern for a passed out Azulcena, but Silvana doesn’t seem to be concerned. Gloria is ticked at her daughter’s attitude and she’s even angrier to find out that the baby Azul’s carrying is really Diego’s. Silvana lied to her. Once again, Gloria tries to talk some sense into her daughter. She tells her that she can’t build a marriage based on a lie, that there is time to change her ways. Silvana say nope, I’m going ahead with my plans.
The doctor comes again and says that Azulcena needs to rest. Azulcena informs Silvana that she’s going to leave and won’t ever be a bother to her or Diego. Silvana makes some comment about her having a future with LuisFe.

Manuel shows up to talk to Lidia. He tries to make excuses for missing their dinner plans. Lidia tells him that there will be no wedding. Manuel, ever the sensitive man, says that’s great because Tavo wasn’t a good catch. Lidia kicks him out, but she’s a lot nicer than I would have been in that situation.

Diego has a conversation with Azul’s picture. He wants her to understand why he proposed to Silvana.

Azulcena sneaks out in the night. The next morning Gloria tells Silvana that the bird has flown the coop. Silvana is worried that she’ll head straight to Diego. Gloria is worried that something might happen to Azul, seeing as she’s been ordered to rest. Gloria’s had enough and tells her daughter she won’t be helping her anymore. Silvana whines that Gloria promised to help and anyway, now she’s in too deep. Silvana calls Gloria her accomplice.

Diego and the MS are talking to Frijolito’s lawyer. The abogado tells them that the judge won’t give any lenience to Frijo’s case. He’s going to get the maximum—two years in juvie.

Azulcena has found her way back to the orphanage. She’s stumbling along outside and LuisFe drives up in his pick-up. He rushes out to her and hugs her.

Silvana also happens to be in the neighborhood. She’s on the opposite side of the street. She’s finishing up a call to Chonita, trying to find out if anyone’s called or come looking for Diego (‘cuz Chonita wouldn’t recognize Azul if she showed up on the doorstep? If that were the case, I think it would be the first thing Chonita would say to her). Silvana spots the embrace between Azulcena and LF. She shoots daggers in their direction---she’s got to know that she’s totally screwed. END OF EPISODE.
