Caray, Caray!

We start off with Arturo in jail. They say the nut doesn't fall far from the tree and Mother Linares is a nasty piece of work. They don't have any money but she will do whatever it takes to get her son out of jail.

Soledad and Ester are going to the police station to swear out a complaint against Arturo and then visit Hugo's grave. Ester is not too enthusiastic about visit #2 but Soledad insists. Soledad tells Ursula that she had a dream that the person who saved her from Arturo and the fire was Hugo.

Hugo and his team are packing up to leave town. I have to say it is nice to see Hugo well dressed again and not wearing the peasant outfit and the horrible hat. We get an interesting hint about secrets in Boris' past that put him in Hugo's debt and the suggestion that Boris' loyalty to Hugo will come between him and Marina. Boris is also off to the police station to file a complaint against Arturo.

Meanwhile Paquito has gotten notice that Hugo's tomb is going to be opened that morning and he and Eloisa (you have to bring a date to a tomb opening) are going. Rebeca thinks that the events at the Hacienda the previous night will make a great excuse for her to visit the Obregons, inquire about Soledad and make another attempt to the get the treasure-clue books. Hercules has a spiffy striped vest and matching tie.

Los Burques (tonight the captions said "Los Burques" with an "s" while on other nights, it has been "Los Burque" with no "s". I wonder which is correct?) decide to go to the Obregons and ask to be paid for their heroism in saving Soledad. Helena wants to steal stuff too but Guillermo says no.

Boris and Soledad meet at the police station and find out about the tomb opening. Boris goes immediately to tell Hugo. Hugo says that if the tomb is opened, it will ruin everything.

The police go to fetch Dr. Max to the tomb opening. He packs his gun saying to himself that if the tomb is opened, it will ruin everything.

Team Hugo is hiding in he cemetery with some hair-brained plan to stop the exhumation and who knows what Dr. Max was going to do when Soledad arrives and gets the judge to change his mind about opening the tomb with an impassioned defense of Hugo. Soledad tells the judge that it was grief that caused her to claim that she saw Hugo after he was buried. Soledad appears to feel Hugo's presence several times. Ester retracts her sighting as well and Paquito is frustrated when the judge cancels the order and everybody leaves. Hugo is muy impacatado by Soledad's declaration and says that he must reveal the truth to her when he overhears Eloisa and Paquito spitefully rehashing what Ester told Rebeca, namely that Soledad never loved Hugo and was sleeping with Alcides when she was engaged to Hugo. Like all men on novelas, Hugo instantly believes all this and we are back to 'Soledad betrayed me.'

Lucas gives some money to Los Burques but while they are there, Rebeca shows up. Lucas is very cold to her while Ursula listens approvingly. Meanwhile, the baser instincts of Helena get the better of Guillermo and they steal a bunch of stuff from the Obregons including the treasure clue books.

Hugo is brooding about Soledad's supposed betrayal and wants to leave town but there is the problem of keeping people like Paquito from digging up the body in his grave. Boris hires a couple of guys to guard the grave for 3 months. Everything is loaded up and ready to go but Hugo tells Boris and Marina to go ahead and he'll catch up with them.

Meanwhile, Hercules has found Los Burques and is threatening them about where the missing pages of the treasure-clue books are. Of course, they don't know. In the nick of time, Dr. Max knocks out Hercules and saves them. He wants them to go dig up Hugo's grave again and disfigure the face of Miguel's corpse so that no one can tell it isn't Hugo. (Didn't Miguel have gray hair?) Los Burques are not happy about this assignment but they have no choice. They leave the treasure-clue books with the unconscious Hercules.

Paquito goes off to the cemetery to dig up Hugo himself.

Finally, Hugo apparently can't leave town without seeing Soledad once again. He sneaks into her bedroom and watches her when she is asleep. As he turns to leave, she sits up an says, "Hugo!" The credits roll.

Tomorrow it looks like Hugo and Soledad are reconciled only to have Ester's big mouth convince Hugo that Alcides is the father of Soledad's baby. It will be interesting to see how this plays out because we all thought that Hugo already believed the baby was Alcides' after the mine incident and of course, all Hugo's effort to get Soledad to believe he is dead is out the window.
