Caray, Caray!

Rocío stalls Onelia and Balbina and sends them away from Blanca’s room and Viv’s corpse. Balbina encourages Onelia to go to bed, but she’s not having it. She wants to find Viv because she’s sure that she needs her mommy after fighting with Juanmi.

The hoodlums who are attempting to kidnap Marichuy’s baby are running into even more bad luck, first they can’t get the window open, then they have no success entering the room once they’ve broken the window, and now Mari and Cande are back in the room and feeding the baby. Cande notices that the window is broken and when Mica comes in to say good night, Cande sends her off to get the window repaired, because Marichuy is a little freaked out by the broken window and glass all over the floor. Meanwhile, Piraña tells his buddy that they’ll wait on the balcony until the chance to snatch the baby arrives.

Juanmi tries to reach passed Ivette and communicate with Blanca. He’s successful and Blanca is upset that her glasses are missing and she’s disturbed by the clothes she’s wearing. JM tries to break it to her that she’s suffering from multiple personalities. Then Blanca catches sight of Viv and asks if she’s dead. JM tells her yes and Blanca is upset, she repeats that it was her, it was her. No, JM tells her, it was Ivette. JM tells her that she’s a peaceful person, and it is really a rare thing to have another personality take over, but that’s what happened.

Leo comes to the room and checks out the broken window. He tells Mari that it will be fixed first thing in the morning. He then takes a look outside to see if he can see any danger, but the hoodlums are plastered against the side of the hacienda, so they aren’t seen. Still, Leo’s not one to take chances, he orders more guards in the garden and he has some of the handymen come up and board the window closed for the evening. Piraña and friend take off to the barn and Piraña has a hissy fit because he’s been thwarted once again.

JM lays Viv’s body in the bed and covers it with a sheet. Blanca is upset about the (figurative) blood on her hands. JM suggests Rocío take Blanca out of there and get her to rest. Rocío suggests that the police be called and that they tell Onelia what happened to her daughter. Neither one thinks for a minute that Blanca can slip back into Ivette form and once again pose a danger, but as you’ll see later, there isn’t a whole lot of rational thought going on in la casa de San Roman.

After the commercial break, JM has Rocío remove Ivette’s things and hid them in her room. He tells his sister that he’s going to avoid scandal, but that he’ll take care of things. JM leaves the room and asks Rocío to send Onelia to his home office. Once in his office, JM has a few moments of sadness at the manner in which Viv met her demise and then he laments over the baby that she was carrying. Onelia comes in and JM gives her the bad news. No puede ser!!, she cries. She runs out of the room searching for her daughter. JM follows and they run into Rocío and Balbina in the foyer. Rocío sends Balbina to keep Mayita occupied and then she takes Onelia to see Viv. Onelia weeps over her daughter’s body and then runs out of the room screaming : Murderer!! She finds JM and pounds on his chest accusing him of murdering her daughter. Rocío follows and tells JM to tell Onelia what really happened. JM tells Rocío to be quiet, he alone will fix things. Onelia demands to know what happened and why Viv’s body is in that woman’s bed.

Cande talks to Marichuy about finding out more about her parents. MC isn’t receptive to the idea. Cande asks if there is any way that Mari can forgive them and MC says nope. Cande says that Padre Anselmo mentioned that Mari’s mother is really suffering and MC says perhaps that’s the punishment for abandoning her when she was a baby.

Rocío yells at JM for not clearing up what really happened. She warns Juanmi that Onelia will most likely call the police and denounce him as Viv’s murderer. This gets no reaction from JM and Rocío says there is no way that she’s going to let her brother take the blame for what happened and no way she’ll let him go to jail for it. JM says that he’s doing what he has to, because at the base of it all, he’s to blame (stupid man). Rocío (our voice of reason in this episode) tells him he’s being absurd!

Cande suggests to Marichuy that it would be nice to introduce her parents to their grandson. MC isn’t in favor of the idea. Cande suggests that MC sleep on it.

Back in DF—Amador meets with Isa and Stefi. They discuss how the kidnapping is progressing and how soon they can get to the pueblo. Amador says that traveling there is difficult because there are some serious storms in the area. Stefi mentions that Viv is getting anxious to have everything worked out because she’s afraid that JM will end up finding out that he’s got a kid with MC. They end up discussing a test—can I assume that they are going to attempt to pass the baby off as Viv’s? and that these tests are going to be paternity tests that Viv will fix? Anyway, Amador questions if Viv will be successful with whatever their plan is and Stefi says that Viv is a woman who’s capable of getting anything accomplished (not any more).

Marichuy daydreams of happy times with her and JM with their baby. After her fantasy, she flashes back to the last time she saw JM and how he told her to go away.

JM apparently has called Eduardo for some help because he’s arrived at the house first thing in the morning. JM starts to psycho-babble to Ed about defense mechanisms and disassociate disorders. JM ends up telling Ed that he found Viv dead and that it was Ivette, Blanca’s dual personality, standing over her with a bloody dagger.

Stefi goes to the San Roman house and when she asks for Viv, Balbina tells her that there’s no way she can talk to her.

Onelia is back sobbing over Viv’s body and Stefi enters the room. Stefi demands to know what happened and Onelia tells her that JM killed her. Stefi asks if Onelia is sure and Onelia says he admitted it (okaaay???), then she goes on about how she accused him and he didn’t deny it (there is some really skewed logic on this show). Onelia swears that JM will pay for his crime.

JM mentions Viv’s pregnancy to Ed and Ed questions if it were real (thank you!). Ed asks more questions, such as where is the body? What’s going to happen with Mayita? JM asks Ed to take Mayita away for awhile and Ed agrees to have her go visit his aunt in Acapulco. Ed says that this is only a stall tactic, JM’s going to have to fill Mayita in on what happened with her mother. JM then tells Ed that he intends to take the blame for Viv’s death. Ed tells him that’s crazy.

Onelia tells Stefi she’s called the police. They arrive downstairs at that moment and Balbina goes to tell JM. JM meets them in the foyer and they inform JM they got a call from Onelia regarding her daughter’s death and that Onelia’s blamed JM. Juanmi flashes to Ed telling him “that’s crazy”, to Blanca blaming herself, and to Mayita giving him a hug. END OF EPISODE.
