Caray, Caray!

Marisela tells DB about what she overheard in Gonzalo's office and that she is afraid for Santos and for DB.

The guards tell Santos that the owner is not living in the hacienda. Santos leaves him a note. He sees a plane coming in to land.

Pajarote tells Néstor that Genoveva is his woman. They are about to fight when Geno tells them to stop. She says that she can't stand Pajarote and he is the biggest lout of all. Geno leaves and Pajarote follows her.

Marisela tells DB that she doesn't know what do next. DB doesn't know either. She tells Marisela to be her usual smart self. She is happy to have an ally like Marisela.

The woman at the bank tells Carmelito that only the account holder can take out such a large sum of money.

Santos tells Andrés that is sure that Gonzalo and Sapo are involved in narco trafficking. Since the local authorities are involved in the scheme, Santos say that they will have to go to the national government. He doesn't have any contacts in the government but he knows someone who does.

Sapo is angry when he finds out that Santos has discovered where he is hiding out.

Marisela tells DB that she has to think of something soon because she doesn't want to marry Gonzalo. He almost makes her puke when he kisses her and he wants more. DB says that she won't let Gonzalo lay a finger on Marisela. She will think of something.

Pajarote follows Genoveva back to her office. He is angry that his woman would go out with another man. Geno says that she isn't his woman. She says that she made a mistake and slept with a big stupid bird ('un pajarraco tarado') but that's over with. Pajarote asks if she didn't like it when he blew up her balloons. Geno says that the only balloon is him - his head is full of air.

Genoveva and Pajarote stop arguing to listen to Gonzalo and Antonio's argument in Gonzalo's office. Antonio tells Gonzalo that he now believes what Santos told him about Gonzalo being corrupt.

DB tells Marisela to let her know if she sees something that DB can help her with but now she has to return to El Miedo. Marisela says that she is glad that she isn't alone. DB says that she is afraid for Marisela but is also so proud of her bravery and regrets that she wasn't the mother that Marisela deserved.

Antonio says that his conscience is clear and resigns. Gonzalo says darkly that Antonio will regret what he is doing. Marisela returns to work as Antonio storms out of Gonzalo's office. He orders that Marisela and Genoveva leave with him but Marisela says that she is staying.

Carmelito and María Nieves are in a bar trying to decide what to do. Leon is listening.

Gonzalo is telling himself that the photo of the rapists is valuable when he gets a call from Sapo saying that he has Gonzalo's payoff. He wants Gonzalo to come and get it and Gonzalo agrees.

Marisela tells Antonio that she doesn't believe a word he is saying about Gonzalo. Gonzalo meanwhile is listening to Marisela defend him. Marisela says that she has no reason not to believe Gonzalo but she can't say the same for Santos. Naturally, Antonio can't believe that Marisela could betray those she loves. When the guards come to escort Antonio and Pajarote out, Geno asks if Marisela is crazy. Marisela tells Geno to keep her word and not say a thing to anyone. Gonzalo comes out of his office and says that Marisela has done very well.

DB is angry to find Eustaquia still at El Miedo instead of at La Chusmita. Eustaquia replies that she so close to being dead already that it doesn't matter. DB tells Eustaquia that she is worried about Marisela. Her daughter is in danger and DB can't proctect her. DB says that she has to accept Marisela's sacrifice for her because otherwise she is finished.

Maurice receives Santos in a bright orange caftan. He guesses that Santos is there to ask a favor of him.

DB sends the women at El Miedo to La Chusmita and tells her men to guard the place carefully. She sends Juan Primito to keep watch in the tops of the trees and warn her when the enemy comes. Eustaquia doesn't want to go but DB insists.

Maurice arranges a meeting for Santos with the Minister of the Interior. [I think this is the Minister that Sapo already suborned.]

Antonio tells Cecilia that Marisela has defended Gonzalo and is planning to marry him. Cecilia says that she has to talk to Marisela.

JP sees a guy spying on El Miedo. DB tells Melquíades that she is all alone. Melquíades replies that she has him. He will never leave her. DB says that they are alone. Before, she had the forest gods. She gave up her old gods to worship the white-man's god and since then things haven't been going well. JP comes in to report on what he saw. Melquíades goes after the spy.

Santos tells the Minister that he is sure that the regional government is involved with the drug runner but he has no proof. He asks the Minister to send someone to investigate quietly.

DB goes to the pozo at night. After flashing back to her passion with Santos there, she says that this is where her power is.

Gonzalo has come to get his money from Sapo. Facundo arrives to say that DB killed the watchman that they sent to El Miedo.

DB uses a melon to call on the gods of her mother to come and help her.

Antonio tells Santos that he was right about Gonzalo and he has quit his job. He also tells Santos that Marisela is going to marry Gonzalo in a week.
