La Traición, Wed., March 26 - Alcides is alive; Dr. Chirac is dead and Aurora is born
It's all happening at the train station, which looks like a Greek temple. Soledad sees Hugo. She is distracted for a second by Ursula and when she looks back Hugo has disappeared. Meanwhile Hugo tells the doctor what happened and Team Hugo splits up to meet later at the hotel. Soledad is running around looking for Hugo. Ursula convinces Soledad that she should concentrate on finding Dr. Chirac and Ursula leaves her to go have the doctor called (you should know better Ursula). Behind a giant column, we can see Hugo making himself look like Alcides. Dr. Chirac comes out and introduces himself to Soledad. She asks him to attend at her delivery. He says that he is more of scientist than a practitioner. He is here to investigate an illness called... At this point Hugo shows himself to Soledad to keep the doctor from blabbing about catalepsy to Soledad. She runs after him.
Ester runs into Rebeca at the train station. Warned just in time by Paquito, she whips off her ML wig and hat. Ester asks for Rebecca's help in identifying the ML because she is involved with Lucas. Rebeca promises to help Ester all she can. Antonia overhears the conversation.
Dr. Max has come to meet Dr. Chirac. When Chirac tells Max that he can't come to his laboratory right away because he is going to attend a birth, Dr. Max stabs him. Boris and Marina find him and with his dying breath he says that Hugo must find his son and give him the doctor's papers. His son is familiar with his research. Unfortunately, Dr. Chirac does not manage to tell Boris and Marina who stabbed him. Paquito sees B & M huddled over the body and raises the alarm. B & M flee.
Los Burque are having their same tiresome argument when the police come and try to arrest for illegally diverting a train. They manage to escape.
Meanwhile Soledad has chased Hugo into a forest. Why there is a forest right next to the train station in a big city is not clear. Hugo hides behind a tree and apparently turns to stone. First, Soledad runs around yelling, "Hugo, mi amor," then she hears a noise and runs off. Hugo doesn't move. Los Burque are in the forest. They hide from the police behind a bush and when they stand up, they see Hugo standing there looking at them. Of course, they think he is Alcides and run away in terror. While they are recovering from this horror, the police arrest them. As they are being led away, a policeman comes to tell Inspector Duarte that Dr. Chirac has been murdered. Still hiding behind the tree, Hugo hears the news. "No puede ser," he says.
Eloisa is having a fitting of her wedding dress and she notices that Gladis is sad. Apparently, today is Beatriz' birthday and Gladis misses her. Poof! We see Nurse Beatriz having a birthday cake with Dr. Pablo and the other nurses. She is so happy that nursing has cured her of her psychological problems. Dr. Pablo says that she is an excellent nurse.
No one can find Soledad. Maybe she got on a train. Lucas and Ester can't understand what she was doing. Ursula tells them that Soledad thought she saw Hugo. Ester and Lucas decide to wait at home for news. Rebeca tells Paquito what Ursula said about Soledad seeing Hugo.
Boris and Marina are at the hotel waiting for Hugo. Boris is very concerned but Marina says that Hugo can take care of himself. Boris says that he hopes no one has seen Hugo. If someone sees Hugo, they are all dead.
Besides Soledad, only two people have seen Hugo but they have big mouths. Arturo is walking with Eloisa. Arturo says that Beatriz is dead to him. They encounter the police taking Los Burque to the station. Los Burques are telling anyone who will listen that they have seen Alcides. Arturo is interested to hear about what they saw.
Finally Hugo stirs from behind the tree and immediately Soledad finds him. She embraces him, doesn't tell him anything useful and faints as she goes into labor. Hugo carries her to Dr. Max's house. Hugo tells a deeply suspicious Dr. Max that he is Alcides and then acts as birthing coach for Soledad but she can't see him.
A campesino tells Beatriz that there is a guy who has been living in a cave for months who needs medical attention. Beatriz goes there with him but the campesino won't go into the cave. I'm thinking it's a trap and it's Fabio but it's Alcides and he's doesn't recognize Beatriz - he's lost his memory! (For a guy whose been living in a cave for months, Alcides' hair looks really good).
Jeremias the ghost comes to get Enrico to help Soledad. Enrico goes to the Obregon's house and tells them that he knows where Soledad is and she is about to give birth.
Eloisa tells Rebeca and Paquito that Los Burque are claiming that they saw Alcides.
While lightning flashes and thunder crashes, Soledad's baby is born. Soledad asks to hold the baby. Dr. Max says he has to examine the baby. Hugo tells him to give her the baby. The credits roll.
Scenes from tomorrow are very confusing.

There's no lack of irony in this connection. When "La Fea Mas Bella" ended, I went "galan-shopping" & remembered I'd seen advance clips for Mario Cimarro's upcoming show, La Traición. When it wasn't out yet, I did find his previous 2 novelas - "Pasión de Gavilanes" and "El Cuerpo del Deseo" - on Youtube & got alarmingly hooked. When "La Traición" started, I was shocked to see Telemundo puts it right online! God Bless 'em! By then I was already deep into "Pasión de Gavilanes", so I've been getting a daily "double dip" of Mario since LT started. :-)
On vacation in Mexico in Jan. I caught a glimpse of "Fuego en la Sangre" and just about keeled over when I realized it was (yet another) Televisa remake - of "Pasión de Gavilanes"! I'm always willing to give new shows a chance, but I'm thinking I'm sticking with the Colombians on this one; the original PDG will be next to impossible to top. Glad to be with you all!
I was lucky that the first telenovela I ever watched was Gata Salvaje, Mario's first lead role. I missed Gavilanes and Cuerpo but I am totally obsessed with La Traición. I'm happy to have another watcher in our little group.
