Caray, Caray!

We open with Soledad waking up and seeing Hugo in her bedroom. Fortunately for Hugo, Soledad believes it is a dream. She wants to take full advantage of her dream and have Hugo kiss her. Hugo resists at first but then succumbs and they kiss passionately. Once again, the opportunity to exchange important information is lost, however, when Hugo shushes Soledad's attempt to tell him something. When Soledad tells Hugo that he is her one and only love, Hugo says no, he isn't but there is no opportunity to clarify this since Hugo makes Soledad go back to sleep.

Back at the wagon with Boris & Marina, Hugo again questions his conclusion that Soledad betrayed him and Marina strongly supports Soledad's case. Back inside, however, Soledad wakes up looking for Hugo but immediately has cramping. Ursula is sent for the doctor. Fortunately, Dr. Max is right in the neighborhood on the way to the cemetery with Los Burques.

Hugo sneaks back into the house to find out what is going on and hears Ester tell Dr. Max that the baby is Alcides'. When Dr. Max suggests that it would be too soon for Soledad to know she was preggers after marrying Alcides, Ester tells him that Soledad and Alcides had a secret affair prior to her engagement to Hugo. Whatever, says Dr. Max. Hugo replays in his mind all the things that would support this conclusion, what Alcides said in the mine, seeing Soledad kissing Alcides in the cabana and what he overheard at his wake, Hugo once again concludes that Soledad has betrayed him with Alcides.



Unexplained is Hugo's knowledge of Soledad's pregnancy in the mine. I think we have to conclude that that because of his physical condition and the terrible danger to Soledad, Hugo was on psychic autopilot and he doesn't remember what happened before the explosion. We know that he remembers what happened with Alcides after the explosion.



Anyway, Dr. Max reports that Soledad's pregnancy is in a delicate condition and she is confined to bed rest for the rest of her pregnancy. No more running around like a nut jog falling over cliffs, getting caught in collapsing mines, getting caught in house fires, getting chloroformed, etc. etc. Soledad tells Dr. Max that she believes Hugo was actually there with her and that plus the fact that Los Burques report the presence of Boris and Marina outside the house makes Dr. Max more convinced that Hugo is still alive.



Arturo has some plan to get out of prison.



Boris confesses to Marina that he is not sure if he loves her.



At the river, Hugo mourns his brother in spite of their differences.



The various grave robbers converge on the cemetery and it is luckless Burques that get caught by the guards Boris hired. On the road, team Hugo meets the guards taking Los Burques to the police station. Since Boris hired the guards, it would seem like he could have told them to let Guillermo and Helena go but he doesn't. Hugo comes out of hiding and says that he has to save them because they saved his life. Setting up another situation where he is acting without Boris to protect him, Hugo sends Boris and Marina to spring Los Burques while he goes ahead alone and arranges to meet Boris and Marina later at a hotel.


Rebeca and Eloisa go in search of Hercules. They find him recovering from the blow on the head and are elated to finally get the books. Rebeca and Hercules are getting hot and heavy when Eloisa interrupts to report the missing pages in the book. Rebeca initially accuses Hercules of holding them out on her but Hercules denies it and they all finally conclude that somehow Enrico got them. In his lair, Enrico has the missing pages but he can't decipher the code.


Beatriz and Fabio are down on their luck. Fabio returns from the taverna having gambled away all their money. Beatriz suggests that she can work in a hospital as nurse but Fabio rejects that idea as putting her in danger of being recognized. He has some other plan.


Finally, at the Obregon house, Lucas brings breakfast to Ester out in the garden in an attempt to inject more romance into their marriage. Some masked guys show up, beat up Lucas and kidnap Ester. Who did this? We don't know. Is this Arturo's plan? It's hard to see how kidnapping Ester would get Arturo out of jail but who knows.

Horror of horrors, the scenes from tomorrow show Beatriz smooching with Hugo on the rebound. If this plays out in normal novela fashion, Beatriz will make Hugo think they have had sex, she will be pregnant with Fabio's baby and will tell Hugo that it is his and Beatriz and Soledad will have their babies at exactly the same time and the babies will be switched or Beatriz' baby will be stillborn and she'll steal Soledad's baby. I hope I'm wrong.
