Caray, Caray!

We don't seem to be making much progress here. In a totally predictable scene, Santos and Gonzalo get in a fight over Marisela.

Pajarote and Genoveva try to make each other jealous.

Facundo makes overtures to a very suspicious DB at the party until Melquíades calls her to the Santos/Gonzalo fight. Antonio and the rest of the Altamira vaqueros follow. The combatants are separated. DB accuses Marisela of setting Santos and Gonzalo at each other's throats on purpose.

At the library, Cecilia finds a book that belonged to her sister, Santos' mother.

Marisela tells Gonzalo to wait for her at the hotel saying that she has to talk to Santos.

DB tells Gonzalo not to hurt Santos or he will find out how bad she can be.

Santos takes Marisela into the church to talk. He asks how she could kiss another man right in front of him. Marisela says that she knew he was watching and did it on purpose. Santos asks her to stop fooling around and not to lose the great thing that they have. Marisela tells Santos not to talk to her about love. He has his life and she has hers. Marisela admits that she loves Santos but they can't be together. She says that she will never come back to him again.

Lucía becomes ill while walking Toñito.

Once again, Marisela tells Santos that DB and her baby are the insuperable obstacle between them. She tells him to take care of the baby and make sure that it doesn't suffer like she did. She begs Santos to let her go. He says that he can't. "Yes, you will do it," says Marisela, " because you are my Santos; the man who I fell in love with; the good man who knows what is right. And it's right that you love your child and take care of it and it's right that you let me find happiness far away from you." Santos says that she won't be able to do that any more than he can be happy without her. Marisela says that they have to do it and they will.

DB sees Marisela walking away and crying. She can't believe it is possible that Marisela would give up Santos so that he can return to DB.

Alone in the church, Santos says that he understands that God is making things difficult to teach him a lesson. He asks what God wants. Does He want Santos to repent for his mistakes the rest of his life? He asks God to lift his punishment. "I'm losing what I love the most," he says, "What do you want of me? What do you want?"

When Pajarote continues to neck with Celeste, Geno walks out of the party. Celeste won't let Pajarote go after her.

Gonzalo is impatient for Marisela to return to the hotel. He says that no one throws him over like that. Marisela comes into the hotel and says angrily that she hasn't thrown him over. She asked him to wait at the hotel and here she is.

Dr. Arias tells Encarnación, Antonio and Cecilia that Lucía's blood pressure is very high and both she and her baby are in danger. He advises that she be rushed to the hospital in San Fernando.

DB tells Melquíades she can't believe that Marisela is capable of leaving the way open for DB to get Santos back. Melquíades believes that there is something between Marisela and Santos. DB says that what Marisela did doesn't make sense. Melquíades says that Marisela did it for DB.

Gonzalo accuses Marisela of using him to get back with Santos. Marisela assures him that she has broken up with Santos. She wants him to forget about Santos and they should go back to San Fernando. She just wants to say goodbye to Cecilia and Toñito. He wants to go with her but she says no. When he accuses her of going to see Santos again, she says that she has already explained this to him but maybe he doesn't understand.

Gonzalo tells Facundo that he and Santos were great friends but no more.

Celeste convinces Pajarote to get them a room.

While holding Toñito, Marisela tells Cecilia that she kissed Gonzalo in front of Santos to make Santos forget her forever. Cecilia says that won't happen and she will regret what she has done.

Genoveva tells Melesio and Altagracia that she is going to San Fernando to get out of Progresso where there are only stupid men and loose women.

Pajarote can't get it up for Celeste. He has a vision of Genoveva who tells him that he would rather be with her than that slut. She tells him to realize that he misses her.

Marisela is saying goodbye to Cecilia when Santos comes in. He tries to go after her but Cecilia stops him. She says that he has to let Marisela make her own decisions. "And if I lose her forever?" he asks. "Then she wasn't meant for you," replies Cecilia.

Melesio doesn't understand why Genoveva is so angry. She leaves. Altagracia says that she should leave with MN. Melesio says that if she does, he will never speak to her again. When Altagracia asks why he let Geno leave, he says that she doesn't have a boyfriend and is a decent girl. When the alcaraván starts singing, Melesio tries to shoot it and Altagracia wonders if she really is pregnant.

Santos tells Cecilia that Marisela really believes that giving Santos up will help to make DB a better mother. Cecilia gives Santos the book from his mother. Asunción wrote that she was proud of the Santos she saw growing up in front of her and knows that he will fulfill his promise to be a different Luzardo. She hopes that he will as proud of his children as she is of him. Santos calls the book a legacy of love for his children and seems to realize for the first time that he has is going to be a father. Cecilia tells Santos that his mother suffered a lot. His father loved Asunción but he was too curt (seco), angry and cruel. Santos remembers how hard his father was with his elder brother, Félix. Santos says that he could never love his father because he was too afraid of him. Cecilia says that by the time Santos was born, the war between his father and the Barqueros had already been declared (flashback to Santos' father killing his son). Santos tells Cecilia that when he was a boy he promised himself to be a good father, tender, playful and caring like Melesio. Now he has that opportunity. He tells Cecilia that her finding the book was no coincidence and answers a question he put to God.

Marisela tells Gonzalo about Lucía and that she and Antonio won't be going to back to San Fernando with them. Gonzalo says that he hopes that Lucía gets better but he is happy to have Marisela to himself on the return trip. At that moment, Genoveva appears and asks to go with them. Marisela is ecstatic. Gonzalo not so much.

Sapo tells Facundo that they can use Gonzalo's feud with Santos to make Gonzalo do what they want.

Josefa and Federica are enjoying the whiskey that the mysterious person gave to Pernalete. Then they find a note that came with the crates and sober up some realizing that Sapo (Fidel Castell) is back in their lives.

Marisela babbles to Gonzalo about how angry Genoveva is. She says that if Geno isn't happy in her house, then the best thing to do is what one really wants because time passes very fast. Gonzalo agrees and repeats that one should do what really wants and tries to kiss Marisela. She tells him no. He asks if she is playing with him. Marisela says that kissing him here is different from kissing him in Progresso. Gonzalo says that she just kissed him in Progresso to make Santos jealous. Marisela says that she isn't playing with Gonzalo but he replies that things are different. She doesn't deny Santos anything. Marisela slaps Gonzalo and leaves the restaurant.

Encarnación is terribly worried about Lucía and says that he doesn't know what he would do without her. She assures him that everything will be all right. Antonio tells Santos that he never would have gotten Lucía pregnant if he had known the risk but she wanted a child so much. Santos says that DB wanted a child so much, too and she got pregnant just when he found out about all her lies. Santos says that Marisela is right; he will have to spend get very involved with the child. Antonio says that he will have to do the same for the new baby and for Toñito. He wishes he could raise Toñito like he deserves - put him to bed every night and play with him. Santos says that he has to take care of the baby since who knows how long DB will be into motherhood. He vows that his child will be better than he is. Antonio says that at least his son has a great mother but he doesn't know what will happen if he loses Lucía. He says that Lucía is in this condition because of him and it is a heavy burden.

DB tells Eustaquia that it appears that Marisela gave up Santos for her but DB isn't sure she believes it. She asks why Marisela would do such a thing if she hates DB. Eustaquia tells DB that even though she doesn't deserve it, Marisela cares about her. Now DB isn't so alone. There is someone who cares about her. DB wonders if it is possible that Marisela could care about her in spite of herself. Eustaquia says that she is sure of it.

Marisela tells Geno that Gonzalo was very rude to her and maybe she will go and live with Mauricio. Geno wants to come along. Gonzalo knocks on her door. Marisela rolls her eyes and goes to speak to him.

Gonzalo apologizes for what he said to her in the restaurant but says that he is desparate. He knows that love can't be forced and he has been patient and given her time but there is a limit. He has behaved well with her and it isn't fair that she treats him like a puppet. He tells her that if she is sure that there is no future for them, let him know once and for all because the time has come to resolve their situation.

DB prays to Saint Bárbara for Santos to return to her and Santos appears. She tells him that finally the Virgin has given her a miracle.
