Caray, Caray!

Marisela is suspicious of why DB is warning her about Sapo. DB says that even though she is the same woman that has caused Marisela so much pain, she doesn't hate her and doesn't want anything bad to happen to her. Marisela tells her not to lie. DB is trying to confuse her with nice words. DB replies that she knows that deep down Marisela cares for her.

Melquíades has Santos and Sapo in the cross hairs and says that Santos' life is in his hands. Meanwhile Santos is telling Sapo that he read about him the in paper and came to meet him out of curiosity. Sapo tells him to be careful, curiosity killed the cat. Santos tells him not to worry. He has more 7 lives. [Has he lost two or do cats in Spanish speaking countries have 7 lives, not 9 lives?] Melquíades says that Santos' death would hurt DB very much and it is only for her that he isn't going to shoot Santos.

Santos tells Sapo that he wanted to meet the person who tried to buy various haciendas in the region including his. Santos says that Sapo acted throught his employee, Fausto Borrego, and Santos mentions that he hasn't seen Borrego around lately. Sapo says that Borrego is no longer in his employ and asks if Santos is interested in selling. Santos says that depends on whether he receives a good offer.

Cecilia tries to lift Antonio's spirits and tells him that he has to be strong for Lucía and his child. Antonio thanks her for her help and calls her his 'mariposa.' Cecilia asks him not to make things harder than they already are.

Marisela says that the worst has already happened. DB says that much worse things could happen. Marisela says that Sapo is a friend of Gonzalo's. DB assures her that Sapo is the most vile person and he has the worst instincts that she could imagined. She says what makes him more dangerous is that he is intelligent and has lots of power. Marisela asks what he is doing in San Fernando. DB says that he has come for her but Marisela is in danger, too because she is DB's daughter.

Santos is blocking Melquíades' shot. Sapo tells Santos that he understands that the cattle raising is good in this area. Santos replies that it's not only the pastures. A milk processing plant has just opened in Progreso. "Progreso progresses," says Sapo. He writes down an amount that he will pay Santos for his hacienda. Santos looks at it and says, "Altamira is worth more than the land and the cattle. You know what I'm referring to, right?" He tells Sapo to think about it and make him an offer that reflects the real value of the hacienda. Santos leaves and Sapo goes with him thus depriving Melquíades of his target.

DB continues to try and warn Marisela. She says that Sapo won't rest until he has gotten rid of DB and those are around her. Marisela should get away from Sapo as quickly as possible and warn Gonzalo about him as well. DB thinks that Gonzalo has already gotten into some shady (turbio) business with Sapo. Marisela replies that Gonzalo is an honorable man. DB says that Marisela is young and naive. "All men are honorable until they stop being so. They all have a price and Gonzalo has a high price because he is very ambitious. It's a price that the guy in this photo can pay with no problem." She tells Marisela to be careful. She starts to walk away. Marisela asks why she has come again to tell Marisela these things as if she mattered to DB. DB replies that she does matter to her for the same reason that Marisela cares about her - she is Marisela's mother for better or worse.

Marisela tells Genoveva about DB's warning and says that she is afraid. DB spoke to her seriously and she has her own suspicions. If they are true, the situation is very dangerous.

Sapo says that he thinks the reason Santos gave for his visit, to meet the person who wants to buy his hacienda, is very stupid. He tells Facundo that he thinks that Santos came to check him out (indagar) and sniff him out (husmear). He says that Santos isn't stupid. He knows that Sapo has other interests. Facundo asks if they should eliminate Santos. Sapo says not yet. They will give him more rope (cuerda) so that he reveals his true intentions. "Remember that the dead don't speak," says Sapo, "and he still has a lot to tell." It starts to rain and Melquíades has to leave without completing his mission.

The doctor gives Lucía the bad news about needing dialysis. She is upset.

Sapo reports on his failure to DB and tells her that Santos was visiting Sapo. Santos comes in and asks what DB is doing in San Fernando. He accuses her of coming to town because of Sapo and ask her to deny it. She does deny it claiming that she came to San Fernando to buy things for the baby. As DB babbles to Santos about being willing to get fat to make his baby grow big and strong, Facundo is at a nearby table listening.

Genoveva things that she is already getting fat.
Marisela says that she isn't but says that they should go and have dinner because pregnant women need to eat. She says that her latest godchild is hungry. Soon she will have a football team of godchildren.

Antonio tells Lucía that he is very proud of her. She took the bad news with a lot of strength of character.
Lucía replies that is because he is by her side. Cecilia comes to Lucía's room. Cecilia tells Antonio and Lucía that she overreacted when Toñito got a rash like all first-time mothers. Lucía says that she doesn't know if she will get to experience that.

Pajarote drops Gervasia off in town to do some shopping. Pajorote has flashbacks to his encounters with Genoveva. He is interrupted by Celeste. She asks if he has solved his problem. He says that if he couldn't do with Celeste, it was because he has a prefers someone else - someone who likes him and for whom he can perform. He says that this other woman is pure (limpia), decent, slender (flaquita) and his. Celeste says that she doesn't think that this other woman is decent and doubts she is his because she doesn't see her anywhere. Celeste dares Pajarote to go with her and prove that he can perform. He tells her to leave him in peace.

Lucía sends Antonio out of the room. She asks Cecilia's forgiveness.

DB tells Santos that he is obsessed with Sapo. She says that it is all in his imagination. He could write novels. DB gushes about the baby and gets Santos to feel her belly just at at moment (of course) that Marisela and Genoveva come into to the restaurant.

Marisela is upset but at least DB doesn't look triumphant.


Santos comes over to Marisela saying it isn't what it seems. Marisela replies that he has every right to touch he belly of the woman carrying his child. She and Marisela leave. Santos follows. Once again, he tries to explain that he isn't getting back with DB. Marisela says there is nothing to explain and he should respect her and not pursue her any more.

Lucía says that she took advantage of Antonio being alone and full of pain when he was let out of prison. Cecilia says that she was just acting like a woman in love. She says that in her heart, she knew that Cecilia and Antonio still loved one another. She asks if Cecilia hates her for that. Cecilia says that she has never hated Lucía. She was there when Antonio needed her. Cecilia says that Antonio chose her and she thinks that he did very well. He loves her, he is with her and they are going to have a baby. She tells Lucía not to worry about her.

Toñito is sleeping in Antonio's arms. What a cute baby!
Antonio says that he is sure that the women are talking about them. Antonio tells Toñito a secret - he is still in love with Toñito's mother.

Marisela tells Geno that when she sees Santos and DB together, she can't contain her anger and her stomach hurts. She doesn't want them to be together but it is better for DB and the baby.

Santos asks Antonio to tell Gonzalo to be careful of Sapo because Santos is sure that he is a dangerous criminal. He says that he thinks Sapo is one of the rapists but DB won't confirm that. Antonio asks why there is such mystery and Santos replies that DB is like that. Santos wants Antonio to warn Gonzalo about Sapo and when Antonio asks why Santos can't do it himself, he says that they have too many problems between them. Antonio agrees to tell Gonzalo. When Santos asks how Lucía is doing, Antonio tells him that her health is not good at all.

Leon accosts Gervasia and asks her to come with him promising to treat her well.

Geno tells Marisela that she will never tell Pajarote about the baby. He will jusst make fun of her and say she did it on purpose to make him marry her. Her grandfather will force a shotgun wedding and she doesn't want a forced marriage with the groom looking like a martyr in all the photos. "How dramatic!" says Marisela, "You make better novels than Madame Fabulé."

Leon is about to drag Gervasia off when she threatens to cut his face open.
Pajarote appears and asks if everything is all right. Gervasia says that she is fine. Pajarote says to Leon, "There are terneras that know how to show their claws (sacar las garras) and scare kittens (gatitos).

Antonio tells Gonzalo that Santos sent him to tell Gonzalo to watch out for Sapo, not to trust him and that he could be a dangerous criminal.

DB tells Melquíades not to worry that he didn't get Sapo. It just means that his time hasn't come. She says they should return to El Miedo before Sapo finds out they are in San Fernando. At that moment, Sapo lowers the window of his car and looks at her.

Sapo's henchman asks why if DB is an enemy, he doesn't just get rid of her. Sapo says that would be too easy. He has an end planned for DB that is commensurate with her arrogance.

Gonzalo says that he doesn't pay any attention to what that idiot Santos says. He says that Santos always was jealous of him. He says that Santos was jealous of him because Gonzalo had more money, was more popular, had a better family name, had more girlfriends and was president of the student council. Antonio reminds Gonzalo of all Santos has did for him when he was a rebel and says that he is only the messenger. Gonzalo replies that if he doesn't want problems, he should never mention Santos' name again. Antonio agrees but asks Gonzalo to do the same because he won't let Gonzalo speak ill of his soul brother (hermano del alma).

Facundo tells Sapo that DB and Santos were talking about him. He tells Sapo that he found out an interesting fact - DB is pregnant. Sapo says that is great news.

Marisela is trying to cheer Genoveva up when one of the guards show up with 30 roses and a note from Santos: "Since I can't send one every day, here are the 30 roses for this month to remind you that every day I love you more strongly than the day before and to make clear that I will never ever give you up. I love you today, too. Your Santos." Geno tells Marisela that she doesn't know how Marisela resists Santos. Marisela leaves saying that she has to make a clean break once and for all.

Back at Altamira, Pajarote asks if Santos is thinking about Marisela. He say that he is always thinking about her. Pajarote asks if Santos doesn't think that women are crazy. Santos says that he is sure that women are crazy but the worst thing is that they want to make men crazy. "But when they aren't here," says Santos, "we miss them so much." Santos says that when Marisela isn't at Altamira, the house seems dead. It lacks yelling, laughter, disorder, life.. It lacks her. "Who does it lack?" asks DB appearing suddenly, "Me? Are you referring to me?"

Marisela tells Gonzalo that over the last year she has used him to escape from Santos and next to Santos, he is the man she likes the most. She says that she has made a decision and the answer is yes. Gonzalo asks if she means that he is her boyfriend (novio) with kisses and everything. Marisela says yes. Gonzalo kisses her and Marisela looks that she barely keep from gagging.
