Caray, Caray!

In the cemetery, Hugo rehashes his plan to avenge himself on those who have betrayed him. He tells Boris that from here on out the going gets rough and Boris doesn't have to hang around if he doesn't want to especially since Marina does not want to be part of the team. Boris pledges his loyalty to Hugo. He will participate in the vengeance plan even though he doesn't agree with it. Hugo tells Boris that he isn't just a servant, he is a friend, Hugo's only friend.

Arturo reacts badly to Eloisa' request that the wedding be postponed. The invitations have gone out and the church is reserved. Arturo immediately suspects that Eloisa is involved with another man. He grabs her and Paquito tells him to back off. Arturo punches Paquito and a fight is avoided when Rebeca shows up and orders Arturo to leave. Both Paquito and Rebeca think Eloisa is crazy to dump Arturo for Alcides, who is already married. Eloisa says that Soledad will never go back to Alcides and it is her life and she'll do what she wants.

Soledad is hysterical. Lucas sends for the police. Antonia looks guilty.

Dr. Max brings the baby to Elena who is immediately captivated by little Aurora. Dr. Max tells her to go out and get what she needs for the baby. Tomorrow, he will begin his "treatment." Elena is suspicious when Dr. Max tells her that the baby is ill. Dr. Max decides to give the baby an injection right away. Elena convinces him to wait.

Guillermo comes to see Hugo/Alcides and asks to work as his gardener. Hugo agrees and Guillermo makes it clear that he isn't interested in participating in any criminal work Alcides may be involved him. With a significant look at Boris, Guillermo says that he is not like some people who betray their masters as soon as they are dead. Amused, Hugo agrees not to make Guillermo do anything but work in the garden. He can also play the violin at the tavern in his free time. Outside the room, Guillermo marvels at the change a few months have made in Alcides.

Back at torture central, Beatriz continues to flog Alcides and then pours salt on his wounds. He tells her that her vengeance is worthless since he doesn't remember anything but Beatriz obviously gets her jollies by hurting people so she doesn't really care whether Alcides remembers or not. She has to go back to civilization but she will be back soon to continue with her fun. She will turn Alcides into a dog who will lick the soles of her shoes.

At the Obregon's, Inspector Duarte asks if Soledad has any idea who might have taken the baby. Antonia says Enrico and Ursula might have done it. Soledad doesn't agree. She thinks it might have been Alcides. After the police leave, it appears that Antonia drugs Soledad to keep her from doing anything crazy.

Enrico takes Ursula to his hideaway. Enrico says that he lives there with Jeremias and of course, Ursula points out that Jeremias died years ago. Enrico corrects himself and says that he lives with the memories of Jeremias. Ursula is sad that she didn't get to say goodbye to Soledad. They were like sisters. Who will help her with the baby? Ursula goes to sleep and Jeremias asks if Enrico likes her. He does.

Hugo discusses the situation with Boris and Marina. He has no alternative to continuing to pretend to be Alcides. Hugo will use Paquito's article to set a trap for all those who were after his money: the Obragons who planned it all and Arturo who helped Alcides try to kill him. 'And your plan for Soledad?' asks Marina. She will pay dearly for her betrayal, says Hugo. Boris asks how he is going to do that. Hugo says that while pretending to be Alcides, he will make Soledad fall in love with him. Boris and Marina are dubious about this plan and Marina is concerned that taking vengeance on Arturo could be dangerous not just for Hugo but for his servants as well. Boris tells her to be quiet; their duty is to help Hugo. I'm outta here, says Marina. Hugo tells Boris not to sacrifice his happiness for him. At this point, the police arrive and Hugo finds out that Aurora has been kidnapped. The police don't find the baby in the Hacienda. Hugo asks the Inspector to tell Soledad that he will look for the baby too.

Paquito tries to get into Eloisa's bed but she refuses his advances and even strikes him with a candlestick. Paquito tells her to be careful. If she won't be his, no one else will have her. He tells Rebeca how much he loves Eloisa and she suggests that maybe he needs a more experienced woman...

Beatriz goes to see Dr. Pablo. He wants to have a relationship with her but she is high on inflicting pain and is barely civil. He asks her about the disappearance of some medicines. She makes up a story about a patient needing the medicine and Dr. Pablo buys it.

Boris tries to get Marina to stay. She says that she cannot understand why Boris stays with Hugo. So Boris tells her. It turns out that as a boy, Boris escaped from a reformatory. He snuck into the Medina house and Hugo hid him for several days until Alicides found out and betrayed him. Hugo pleaded with his parents to let Boris live with them and he was raised and educated with Hugo and was like a real brother to him, not like Alcides. Boris swore that he would never leave Hugo alone with his terrible illness.

(Slight problem here: in the 2nd episode, Hugo tells Boris, as if he didn't know, about how no one had believed his mother when she begged them not to bury his father. They said she was crazy and she ended up really crazy. Boris says: That must have been terrible. Since now we know that Boris came into the Medina family before all this happened, he would have been there when Hugo's father died and he would know all this. Of course, the real purpose was to tell us about Hugo's past or maybe Hugo is one of those people who say, 'did I ever tell you about.." and then tell you a story you've heard a 100o times. ;-) )


Now Marina understands Boris' devotion to Hugo. She asks why he never told her before. He says that he was ashamed of his past as a juvenile delinquent. Marina says that she will stay and do anything Hugo wants. Boris is happy. Hugo is happy when he is told. Hugo tells the newly formed Team Hugo about his plan to find the baby. He whispers something to Boris and then tells him to get flyers printed up offering a reward for the return of the baby. Marina is surprised that Hugo wants to help find Soledad's baby but Hugo says that Aurora is his niece and an innocent victim. He can't let anything happen to her.

The next morning Soledad is up and dressed and insists on going out to find the baby. Ester goes with her. Jeremias tells Enrico to go find Ursula because her life is in danger. Everywhere in town, the flyers are being distributed saying that Alcides is offering a reward for the return of the baby. Soledad sees one and is confused about why Alcides would do such a thing.

Dr. Max finds Elena gone to buy things for the baby. She has taken Aurora with her so that Max can't hurt her.

Enrico finds Ursula in the woods picking flowers. They are chased by the police who shoot and wound Enrico.

Elena is carrying the baby in a basket. She gets one of the flyers and wonders if she has the missing baby. At that moment, the baby cries and Soledad, who is passing nearby, hears her, recognizes her baby and gives chase. Elena gets away but decides to give Aurora back to her family even if it means she goes to jail. However, Dr. Max finds her first. Ester wants to go to the police but Soledad runs off. Ester finds out that Soledad has gone home and gotten a gun (doubtless the gun she got from the Hacienda). Ester guesses rightly that Soledad has gone to confront Alcides. Sure enough, Soledad comes into the Hacienda and demands that he return the baby. The credits roll.

Tomorrow - Arturo takes the baby from Dr. Max??
