Caray, Caray!

In the hospital, Viviana’s freaking out and screaming doesn’t stop Juan Miguel from administering the electro-shock therapy, although unwise to have a husband administer this to his wife (tho I’m sure there are some husbands who’d love it, and wives as well) apparently there are some budget cuts at the mental hospital and JM has taken on the technician's responsibility……Onelia gets all hysterical ranting at JM that he’s hurt Viv and most likely killed her. JM tells her to knock it off with the hysteria. He says Onelia’s name and Viv weakly says “Mama?”. Juanmi puts on his puzzled face and starts to ask what happened, does she remember? Viv cries out that she doesn’t remember anything.

Marichuy is in her room sewing and Cande comes into the room. They discuss MC’s need for larger clothes soon, how to hide a pregnancy, how some women get so big it looks like they are carrying a 10 kilo watermelon, and how Leo will most likely fire MC when he finds out she’s pregnant.

Leo, meanwhile, is out on the steps and he’s crying. MC walks passed on her way to the kitchen and she doubles back. She asks her boss what happened and he flinches when he realizes she’s there. He goes on about having nightmares, but now they occur in the daytime and how it is something so terrible he can’t escape from it. MC can relate because of her nightmares about what happened years ago with JM. She tries to let Leo know she’s empathetic, but he tells her that he’s not interested in her problems and then he tries to deflect the attention off of himself. He asks MC why she is there and what is she running away from. MC says she wants to help him and he tells her to go. Once MC leaves he cries for Ivett.

Back at casa de San Roman, Blanca (the nanny) is digging through her suitcase. She finds something, but we can’t see it. Is it smaller than a bread box? Yes, it fits into the palm of her hand. Balbina knocks on the door and Blanca reacts like she's up to no good. She continues to hide whatever object is in her hands.

Mayita talks with her abuelita, they rehash and to be honest, if any major plot developments occurred in this scene, I missed it (tho I doubt they did).

Micaela is in the kitchen and MC starts to tell her what happened with Leo. Doña Mic (that’s what MC calls her, I like it) starts to give MC a little background about Leo (who’s real name is Omar), not a whole lot of detail to take away the air of mystery, but she does reveal that he used to be happy but a woman destroyed his life. Doña Mic speculates that something big must have happened between them, but Leo wouldn’t tell her exactly what happened (he’s keeping up the air of mystery, too).

JM's at the office and instead of working, he's asking no one in particular why MC left.

MC has flashbacks to all the romantic moments she shared with JM.

JM, now at home and taking off his shirt (drool), also has flashbacks (I think they could have just had him have "voice over" flashbacks so we could still admire his fine form some more, but no, they had prior scenes playing in the thought bubble-darn! Oh well we got to see the first kiss again). He mutters “Marichuy, mi amor” two times and then he takes off his wedding ring and sets it on the dresser.

MC mutters to the dove, that she can’t help but still loving Juanmi.

Elsa visits Rocio at the hospital (Vicente, who can’t walk has gone home, but Rocio with a couple of bandages on her face is still there, I hope this was authorized by her insurance company, because if this was in the US the hospital would end up owning the San Roman castle). The women gossip a bit about Viviana’s return and then Elsa fills Rocio in on MC disappearing.

Vicente is depressed and laying in his bed at home, with the wheelchair at the foot of his bed.

Leo's combing his horse and his hired hand, Cosme, comes in. Cosme offers up some advice, Leo can't be alone forever. Leo's not in the mood to hear this.

Elsa goes home, Nelson is attempting to write, but making little progress. She encourages her husband to keep writing. She knows someday she’ll be married to a great writer.

Little Bo Peep, I mean Marichuy chases after sheep.

Mercedes is now visiting Rocio and they talk about Vicente---he's depressed. JM comes into the room and Mercedes leaves. Juanmi introduces Rocio to her new (very cute) doctor, Humberto Tinoco (?). He’ll be operating tomorrow. The two shake hands and there is a long pause and a look passed between them (professional?-no, possible love triangle?- yes). The doctor leaves and Rocio asks JM if he’ll go and talk to Vicente. She then asks what’s going on with Viv and MC. JM says he knows nothing about MC. ***Rocio, if you’d get up and leave the hospital, you could find out some of this info for yourself and you could go visit Vicente yourself. Woman you are going to develop bed sores!

MC goes off with the dove and hangs out down by the river. Pirana(?) watches her from behind a tree---leering at her is more like it. No question, he’s bad news---Question: For people who watched La Fea, is the guy who's playing this part the same one who played Leti's neighbor- Roman(?), the one Fernando ended up punching out?

Juanmi tells Viviana that they are married. He tries to get her to remember more about the accident and what happened after. He tells her that they have a daughter, this brings a smile to her lips. JM asks if she’d like to go home, there they’ll work on getting her well.

MC gets a little lecture from Cande about wandering off. They discuss how MC needs to start concentrating on becoming a mother and forgetting her crazy ways.

Ed visits Beatriz at work (if she’s just started the job, it probably isn’t a good idea for friends to drop into her place of employment, even if it is the person responsible for her getting the job, I'm just saying....). It looks like it might be some financial place (a bank?), Ed talked about opening an account. They flirt a little. Beatriz asks Ed about Elsa, if he’s over her yet. Ed asks about Amador, if he came to Bea that day and asked to get married, what would she say? Bea says that’ll never happen, she’s resigned herself to knowing her child will be raised without a father. Ed offers up some sort of complement and holds her hand. Across the room, Stefi’s arrived and witnesses the exchange, she doesn’t look happy.

Leo cleans his gun and MC happens by. He warns MC about not going down to the river and straying too far from the house.

JM visits Vicente and tells him about Rocio’s operation tomorrow and how she needs him. Vicente gets upset and asks JM to leave, he doesn’t want to hear any more.

Stefi goes to the castle. She exchanges pleasantries with Blanca, like how’s the new job, etc. Stefi asks if Blanca is seeing to JM’s needs (double entendre--that Stefi sees a threat in every woman and apparently feels proprietary over every man).

Rocio and Vicente talk on the phone. She tells him that even though he can’t walk, he’s still strong. After she gets off the phone, cute doctor comes in and he offers her some comfort. After he gets off the phone, Vicente tries to get into the wheelchair, but ends up falling on the floor, crying out that he can’t do this.

“He’s bringing her home!” Onelia shouts to the household. She calls for Balbina to get stuff ready. Stefi (yep, she’s still there) acts like she’s excited and Blanca doesn’t know what to think.

MC is heading to the river to do her washing. Cande tries to talk her out of it, but MC is determined. The river is so peaceful and quiet, so different from the DF.

She’s down there alone (or so she thinks) and now has the clothes spread out over the rocks. MC decides it is a good time for a swim and she jumps into the water (with her denim capris on—that’s going to chafe). She’s doing a back float staring up at the beautiful sky, not realizing that Pirana is watching/leering again. What’s our heroine going to do? She’s got no chance of escaping……she’ll never be able to run away in those wet jeans!!! END OF EPISODE
