La Traicion 3/6 - Soledad forgets and Hugo and Alcides take a swim

More surprises in an episode that was a little less intense than Wednesday's.

Hugo and Alcides survive the explosion and Hugo seems to be able to deal with being underground. Alcides airs his grievances against Hugo and they seem to be agreeable to starting over with a clean slate when Alcides asks Hugo if he can accept that Alcides won Soledad fair and square and she is having his baby. At this point, instead of saying, that everything that Soledad did when she was in the mine would lead to the contrary conclusion at least about who Soledad loves, Hugo attacks Alcides and they start to fight like 6-year olds.

However, because Hugo is a good guy, he helps Alcides escape from the mine by means of a subterranean river. Out of the mine, the brothers get caught in some pretty tame-looking rapids and one of them is swept away. It was not clear to me which one.

Meanwhile, Boris figures out that Hugo might escape from the mine by the river and Team Hugo, which now includes Marina, go to search. They find a brother - but which one? The headline for tomorrow's episode say, "only one will survive" but I can't believe that they would get rid of Alcides so soon.

Enrico, the "hombrecito" loses the treasure clues andand I don't even want to talk about Rebeca and Lucas - that man is totally worthless.

Paquito has added up the evidence and come to the conclusion that Hugo is alive and seems to be making a case to the judge to have Hugo's grave exhumed officially. At least he's not out there digging it up in the middle of the night like everyone else!

Finally, now that Soledad has been hypnotized into forgetting about seeing Hugo after he was supposedly dead, everybody keeps asking her about why she suddenly became 'rational.'

They do love to tease us, don't they? Last night at the very end it says "one will survive", but there won't be much of a story left if they don't both survive. I think Hugo and Alcides will exchange roles for awhile. I know that both Boris and Soledad should be able to tell the difference, but Boris will do whatever Hugo wants him to do, and I'm not sure after her hypnosis how Soledad will be able to relate to Hugo. What do you think?
 

I'm thinking Alcides will disappear and Hugo will take his place. This is supported by the character description of Eloisa. It says in part, "Se interesa en Alcides de Medina y no tiene recato para demostrárselo. Cuando Hugo regresa y toma el lugar de su hermano, ella no lo reconocerá en principio."

"When Hugo returns and takes the place of his brother..."

Probably, Alcides will return at some point in the future. There is that carriage scene during the credits.

That would mean that the action will shift from conflict between Alcides and Hugo to Hugo trying to win Soledad while pretending to be Alcides and naturally she is still honoring the memory of Hugo. This was why it was important for Dr. Max to make her forget that she knew Hugo wasn't dead.

Alcides probably comes back at the end of the novela and creates the final confrontation. That would make sense because I could never figure out how Hugo could 'come back from the dead' without there being all kinds of explanations involving Alcides, Dr. Max and Los Burques. I hope that when he's pretending to be Alcides, Hugo doesn't adopt Alcides' hairstyle because I like Hugo's pull-back style better.
