Caray, Caray!

I could not find a bustier but here is a g-string as seen in Mexico DF poster leaning against chapel windows.

Tonight we have so many Juan shirtless or undershirt moments, pardon me if I stop typing to sigh from time to time at the fatalistic shirtlessness.

You are a free man and oh poor Ruth is sick too, is that why she was in your bed? snarks a jealous but severe Sofia. Now is Juan getting out of a bed or what? Stay tuned.

Juan hugs Eva who promises to help Eva pursue her daughter Ruth to get a chance to tell her the truth. Sofia shows up with Padre Tadeo to speak with Eva. PadTad wants to know what gives with Juan's wandering and quarrelsome ways in regard to Sofia. Oh the specter of the killer Bernardo comes out of Juan's lips, how can he forget his tiresome oath? We don't get to forget it for even one episode then suddenly PadTad inserts a THOUGHT, egad what if old Bernie boy was NOT the killer. What are you going to do with all the hurt and resentment you are creating. Well Juan says he would rush to make it all up to Sofia, all would be forgiven instantly. It might not be so easy warns PadTad.

Macho-man Ricardo Darth Uribe is chastising Gabriela for telling everyone that Bernardo did the dirty deed, that he is intimating he is so proud of having really done. He appreciates her caring of him but no one gets over on him nor does he need caring for. Man, can he belt down the brandy snifters even faster than Gabriela, she looks on admiringly at this for sure tough guy trait.

Abuelo salutes Feo for his cunning (astucia) and ability to trick, rob and to keep it up so tirelessly. He tells Feo for some reason that Santita and he are engaged, Feo grins and congratulates him, he flatters Santita on her sense of humor. Abuelo warns her that Feo would be more interested if he knew she was a millionaire. They go off to the bedroom to tell secrets At least Santita knows not to tell stuff in the echo chamber.

Eva is happy that Juan is going to put a good word in for her when Ruth returns to see him. Sofia shows some jealousy but acts saccharine sweet with Eva.

Santa Hari calls Abuelo. They discuss his lack of money.

Gabriela rains on the Eva-Sofia parade but Sofia insists that she has come to help tell Ruth everything. Eva then swears she will tell Ruth everything including that she is her true mother. This woman should wear a kick me sign on her behind.

Feo thinks over wooing Santita, it is not lost on him that she is wealthy (he probably smells the money) and would most likely think he was a real stud. Then he could be rid of these annoying Elizondos once and for all and she wouldn't live so long like Gabriela and Sofia.

Feo tries to take the SUV but Rosendo tells him the rules have been changed by Senora Sofia who says he can't use the cars. He slams poor Rosendo up against said SUV but must feel like a fool.

The sick daughter with gobs of lip gloss or is it drool comes into the bakery for a few kneading lessons. Besides she has the whole afternoon free and who knows what time she has tomorrow. Is she playing with this sexy turn on of being the dying Camila of literature? She sexily breaks the egggggg, they knead the bread together and Juan channels Sofia over the young thing's face. He begins to kiss Sofia and finds it is oops, cut to break. Oh dear has that pesky memory loss come back to interfere with his stalwart resolve?
*********************
Finally the lovely young temptress asks, you weren't seeing me, were you? You were seeing Sofia. But, I have confidence that one day you will love me like you love Sofia. Love and hope spring eternal.

Feo and Rosendo go a few more rounds and Rosendo repeats that the only patrona is Sofia, He excuses himself and gets out of the way of another Feo fist.

Gabriela and Sofia meet in the office with Gab ceding the owner side of the desk to Sofia. Sofia tells her that Eva has a right to tell Ruth everything. Sofia then shifts subjects: Feo has to work to work off his stolen assets or face jail. Gabi for once agrees, if he robbed us he has to repay it. He needs to learn his lesson.

Feo goes into the cabana to intimidate Raquel like everyone else does. HE wants to know the story about Sofia that she is hiding. He begins to insist physically and she warns if Darth sees him it will be nasty. Just then Nasty walks into the room to show Feo what she meant. What are you doing with my wife, answer me, answer me he spits out as he grabs Feo. Isn't it fun to see Feo get his considerable ego shaken up in various ways. If you listen hard you can hear the rumble of pie carts in the distance.
*********************
Get out of here, snaps Darth Uribe. Feo makes excuses for trying to aid Racquel, and obsequiously excuses himself with knowing looks at both the Uribes. Uribe then looks really mean in the snake bar room She wants to leave, Ricardo goes off to find Ruth.

Off in the forest, Feo pouts and swears he will avenge himself for Darth's treatment.

Ricardo want to know why Raquel wants to leave. She reminds him that there is not one paper proving their ownership of the Reyes/Uribe mansion. He slaps her silly when she wonders out loud what Gabriela knew and what she did all those years ago to give them the hacienda that really isn't theirs. This really makes the Darth eyes glow in the dark.

Finally a staircase showdown, (at least one per show required). Eva wants to help Ruth, snotty as ever Ruth doesn't want a woman to touch her and says Eva isn't fit ot help her or even to clean her boots. She saunters off, so many people use that stairway as if they owned it.

Juan and Oscar discuss having the baby girls come to stay several nights a week but Oscar doesn't think Sofia will permit it. Quintina and Pablito share the joking and breakfast when the young Rigo and wife and Q's sister come in to tell of their impending pregnancy after thinking they couldn't have children. Juan offers Rigo full time work.

Eva and Sofia tell each other myths like love is stronger than hatred. Eva is sure that her punishment for giving up her daughter is to have her turn out as Ruth has. She thinks the years around Ricardo gave Ruth the Darth personality thus furthering her feelings about the nature -vs- nurture debate.

Rosendo gets assaulted by Darth who says he knows him, demands that he be called Don Darth err Ricardo. and Rosendo gives what he is given and calls himself Don Rosendo. Rosendo remembers how well dressed Ricardo was and he especially remembers envying the big serpent buckle. This seems to enrage the Darth who uses it to throw someone else around until Sofia shows up wondering why he is treating HER employees so roughly. No wonder Feo wants revenge, he had this physical intimidation thing all to himself for so many months, except for Gabriela's little slapping habit.
********************

Uribe says Sofia should teach her employees to do what he wants. She speaks up with authority that her employees are trained to do what the guests want when the guests act well mannered.

Ruth shows up to sneer at Sofia's back with her dad, how educated she is now not like the brat she was. Where were you she is surprised to hear Dad has already been to see the Reyes. She tries to suggest that Juan is kind of fine but Pa is jealous until she reminds him that it is he who taught her to "size up" her enemies so to speak. Daddy Darth hugs his evil little spawn with the only kindness and love we have seen from him.

Juan and Oscar discuss Ruth and other mysteries in their lives.

Sofia and Rosendo worry about no rain, no money to pay the workers and the wolf at the door (or they should). Rosendo warns Sofia to be very careful with this man Darth. He is vain (engreido), arrogant (soberburbio) He has memories of his father going around him and her mother when he was really little He knows Uribe to be violent!!

Feo tries to saunter into Gabriela's bedroom acting suave and telling Gab that he has missed her so much all this time. She doesn't believe it . I love you so much, he tries feebly . She suggests that he better sleep early since there are so many things to do tomorrow. She turns out the light and turns her back on the former hunk, who sits now like just a lump of leather in the darkened room.
**********************

Rosendo and Sofia say good night down stairs and she climbs the stairs to come in on the nuns and babies and big Daddy Juan. Sofia smiles at his Santa Claus act of handing out presents to the baby girls but with feigned sternness wants to know what he is doing here. She says he wills have to stop dropping in by popping over the balcony like this. He retorts that he has the right to come when he wants and proposes that the girls are ready to be spending nights at his house every week. He jingles out with his spurs jingle jingle. While over at the Feo bedroom he smirks then pretends to go to sleep. The only people having fun are Santita and Abuelo who are playing cards and laughing in their room. Santita goes to the door and sees Feo sneaking out. They decide to see what Santita Hari can do to bait Feo.

Uribe shows up in the dark forest to say he has to recover something he left in the hacienda before it is discovered. Meanwhile Santita goes down to get a drink from Feo and warm him up. He should be afraid of Santa Hari if he had any sense.

Juan comes home to a hot late night snack as Ruth emerges from the dark in a robe which she drops to reveal her scanty bustier and seduces Juan. You are right, you are right he murmurs as he proceeds to hear that Sofia doesn't love him and she does. They drop to the bed in locked passion. What a surprise this ending is, are we dreaming or awake.
