Caray, Caray!

There's always that difficult time in a novela while we wait for the heroine to get through a pregnancy. We moved forward four months tonight and there are three to go.

Hugo is successful in avoiding coming into contact with Dr. Max. It turns out that Hugo can perform the Vulcan nerve pinch. He probably learned that in the Orient as well. Dr. Max is still convinced that Hugo is alive, though.

Beatriz gets left at the hospital with Dr. Pablo. He tells her that she must learn to live without Hugo. She tells the doctor Sebastian's true identity, though and the good doctor is puzzled since he heard that Hugo de Medina was rich and is dead.

It turns out that spirits who have returned from the dead don't necessarily have good memories. Jeremias leads Enrico up and down hills in search of the Orchid Vivantis. Enrico finally presents it to Soledad four months later with instructions to guard it with her life since she will find out later why it is so important.

Ursula knocks out Hercu-less to save Lucas. Rebeca is so annoyed with Hercu-less that she throws him out. Meanwhile, Rebeca is preparing for her spectacular. Guillermo Burke wants to go straight and settle down but Helena doesn't agree. A call for musicians for Rebeca's performance gives Guillermo a chance to dust off an old skill as a violinist and he gets the job as first violin in the orchestra! Meanwhile, Helena does not want to lose their cushy home and so she does almost nothing to notify people that it's for sale.

Lucas gives Soledad a diary to keep her occupied while she is stuck at home during her pregnancy. She writes down what Ursula tells her about what is going on in town which is how we know that Arturo is courting Eloisa and has ceased persecuting the Obregons. Soledad dreams about Hugo but he is sad in her dreams and she can't remember or draw Hugo's smile. Antonia says nasty things to Soledad about her and her baby.

Meanwhile Hugo, Boris & Marina go on a long trip to find Dr. von Sirac or Bonchirac or whatever. He turns out to be an old guy and definitely is not Ismael de la Rosa. He tells Hugo that he has discovered that a medicine can be made that lessens the effect of cataleptic attacks and this medicine is made from a rare orchid called the Orchid Vivantis! What a coincidence.

Tomorrow, Antonia destroys the miracle Orchid Vivantis - uh oh!! So much for Soledad guarding it with her life. It looks like it's back to the hills for Enrico.
