Caray, Caray!

Rocío and Blanca are at the church and Padre Anselmo has committed himself to helping Blanca. He leads her in prayer, asking for God’s mercy.

Lic. Joaquin Losada (?) is visiting Juan Miguel in his jail cell. He’s asked that JM admit his guilt or innocence in Viv’s death. Finally, JM has seen the light and he says that he’s innocent (could this be the start of a smarter, wiser JM? I think not, but at least he's realized that taking the blame serves no purpose). Joaquin asks if JM knows where Yvette can be found, because the cops haven’t had any luck. JM says he has no idea.

Cande and Marichuy are fussing over the baby, now that Leo’s brought him back safely (on horseback, I might add). They discuss the new window in their room, it has smaller glass panes and will apparently be more protection—from flies and potential kidnappers. MC mentions that she’s named the baby after JM. Cande doesn’t like this, and even suggests some alternatives-- Candelario or Omar, both would be much preferred because the child doesn’t deserve to be named after JM. MC doesn’t understand and presses Cande for her reasons. Cande starts to push hard for the “Make Leo the Daddy” campaign. She tells MC that Leo’s proven that he’s worth his weight in gold (Cande has got to be the president of the Team Leo club).

Meanwhile, back at the castle, the Inspector is meeting with Onelia. Stefi happens to be hanging around (she really is a leech, isn't she? and really what purpose does she serve, just a waste of oxygen as far as I'm concerned). The Inspector tells the women that they haven’t been able to locate Yvette, in fact haven’t had any sightings of her and there is no paper trail. It’s almost as if she doesn’t exist. Rocío and Blanca have just returned home at the point they are discussing this last bit. Blanca panics at their words.

Marichuy defends Juanmi to Cande, he’s a good guy. Cande lets MC know that she knows something that would say the contrary to that, but won’t give any more details. MC demands to know what Cande’s hiding, but Cande (surprisingly) isn’t talking. MC begs, but Cande won’t budge. She does hint that it is pretty big info. This causes MC to worry that something’s happened to Juanmi.

Blanca gets upset and runs upstairs. Stefi questions what happened to her? and Rocío says she’s going to comfort her. Stefi speculates that Blanca's crush on JM has caused her to be uspet as Rocío leaves to go after Blanca. Then the Inspector tells Onelia and Stefi that the police are beginning to think that someone is impersonating Yvette.

During the commercial, Stefi went back home and is now filling Ceci in on what the Inspector said. Ceci questions if Yvette is 2, 2, 2-people-in-1, then who is the other person? That is the million dollar question, says Stefi.

Upstairs in the castle, Blanca is starting to lose her grip on being in control of the shared body. She starts to look for Yvette’s suitcase and is distressed to not find it. Rocío suggests Yvette’s things are at the apartment. Blanca can feel that she’s falling under Yvette’s influence and begs Rocío to quickly tie her up. Rocío isn’t that eager to oblige, but she runs out to find rope and comes back and does the job. Blanca gets tied up to the bed, just as the Yvette persona emerges.

Stefi takes a message for Patricio from JM’s attorney. She is happy to hear that the police will be freeing JM. Ceci’s happy to hear the news as well.

During the commercial, Stefi heads over to the castle to wait for JM’s return. She runs into Onelia in the foyer and tells her the good news. Onelia doesn’t see it that way, she'd rather JM rot in his jail cell.

Back upstairs, Yvette starts to freak out about being restrained. Rocío refuses to untie her and Yvette continues to demand to be let go. Stefi heads upstairs and walks into the very strange looking situation. Seeing Blanca with the glasses off writhing on the bed, Stefi is able to figure out that Blanca is Yvette (does this mean that she's much cleverer than the characters in Superma? -- no one at the Daily Planet was ever able to get past such a disguise, otherwise Clark Kent’s jig would have been up).

MC tries to call the castle to find out what’s going on with Juanmi. Unfortunately Onelia answers the phone. MC doesn’t talk and Onelia lets the crank caller know that they are disgraceful.

Pat goes to the jail to help JM. The Inspector arrives and asks JM if he knows where Yvette can be found. JM says that he doesn’t know. Don’t know or won’t tell?, the Inspector asks. Lic. Joaquin, in perfect lawyer speak, says that he’s advised JM not to answer that question.

Rocío tries to explain to Stefi that Blanca’s not well. Yvette is able to untie herself and launches herself off the bed. Rocío steps between Yvette and Stefi, and ends up in a scuffle with Yvette. Stefi doesn’t lift a figure to help. Rocío appeals to Blanca to come forward, to take control, but it is to no avail. Stefi heads downstairs (not wanting to enter into the fray of a girl fight). She gets down there just as JM is returning, accompanied by Pat. Onelia enters the foyer and makes it clear that she’s not happy to see JM there.

Elsa watches Nelson sleep and thinks to herself that he’s dying. Nelson wakes and asks for drink. Elsa refuses to get one for him. He becomes insistent and Elsa angrily tells him he’s dying. So what’s the point in denying him a little drop, he demands to know. Elsa tells him that she’s not allowing him to drink and speed up his death.

MC reflects back on some of the happier moments between her and Juanmi. Cande catches MC near the phone and MC fills her in on what just happened. Cande logically points out that Onelia couldn’t have any idea it was MC on the other line, so her rudeness wasn’t directed specifically at MC, Onelia’s just rude in general.

Onelia starts to let into JM, that this whole deal is a sham. JM’s not innocent, he’s just Yvette’s accomplice. Speaking of Yvette, Stefi jumps in and says that they need to get upstairs to the governess’s room because Rocío needs them. They all head upstairs.

Blanca knocks out Rocío and escapes out the window. A split second later the posse arrives. JM sends Balbina for the first-aid kit and he tends to Rocío. Onelia wants to know where that woman went.

Marichuy has a daydream/premonition(?) about JM hanging from the edge of a bridge. She tries to hold onto him but his grip slips. She begs him to not let go, but he can’t hold on and ends up falling over the side. This “vision” convinces MC some more that there is something going on with JM and she tries calling again, this time she calls his office number. The phone rings twice and she hangs up because no one’s answered.

Rocío fills JM in on what’s been going on with Blanca. Onelia says this is all a ruse to try and confuse people. JM says nope, Blanca’s sick. She suffers from multiple personalities.

MC tries to call the castle main line again. As the phone is ringing, we see Balbina walking in slow motion near the phone. END OF EPISODE
