Caray, Caray!

Marisela tells Genoveva DB's history with the rapists. Geno says that DB is in danger and Marisela repsonds that they are all in danger because Sapo is a monster.

DB burns down Sapo's house.

Melesio tells Santos to try and control his temper. He says that when Santos as calmed down, he will realize all the people that he has hurt.

Don Encarnación catches Antonio and Cecilia having a romantic dinner. He calls Antonio and Cecilia a pair of traitors.

Marisela tells Geno that she doesn't know what to do about the photos.

Antonio tries to talk sense into DE.

Santos is apologizing to Carmelito and hearing about his plans to establish a poultry business when Cósme and Mujica come to tell him about the dairy plant being closed down.

When Marisela runs into Gonzalo in the Governor's residence, she tells him that she and Santos are finished. Gonzalo offers to forget everything that happened and give her her job back. Marisela is starting to refuse when Antonio comes in and says that Sapo's house was set on fire.

Pernalete comes to see DB to tell her that a lot of strange things are going on in Progresso: haciendas are being sold overnight to unknown buyers, the dairy processing plant has been closed down due to rats and there was a newspaper article accusing Santos of embezzlement. "And you immediately concluded that it was me who had done it, right?"asks DB. Pernalete says that it is the kind of things DB does. DB tells him that he is wrong. She had nothing to do with what has happened but she knows who is behind it - Sapo. She tells Melquíades to sneak around the ranches that were sold and see what is going on.

Santos tries to defend his actions to the Cattleman's Association. DE shows up and accuses Santos of incompetence.

Marisela tells Geno that she might take her job back to find out why Gonzalo has the photos in his office. She transfers a call from Sapo to Gonzalo and listens to Sapo demanding that DB be killed and Gonzalo telling him not to do it yet.

When the call is over, Marisela goes into Gonzalo's office and sweetly asks for her job back. Her attitude would make me suspicious. It's hard to tell what Gonzalo is thinking.

Santos tells the Cattlemen's Association that he has demonstrated that there were no financial irregularities under his leadership but since the members no longer have confidence in him, he will resign as president. He suggests that they elect DE.

DB is sending the women and Juan Primito to La Chusmita to be out of the line of fire. Eustaquia doesn't want to go.

Melquíades is checking out the area where the haciendas were sold. He sees a plane coming in for a landing and thinks it is very strange.

Santos finds out that the Governor ordered the health inspection on the dairy processing plant. In typical Santos fashion, he wants to go confront Gonzalo immediately. Andrés tries to calm him down but without success.

Cecilia has just fed baby Lucía when Antonio comes in. Cecilia says that the baby is doing very well and will likely survive. Antonio thanks Cecilia for all she has done. Cecilia says that she is doing what Lucía asks. He kisses Cecilia and someone takes another picture.

Santos asks Andrés to wait outside the Government building in case Santos is arrested for what he is going to do to Gonzalo. Santos bursts into Gonzalo's office, hits him and accuses him of planting the rats in the factory and then having an inspection done. Santos accuses Gonzalo of using his authority as Governor to destroy him since he can't do it man to man. Santos says that he will do everything he can to destroy Gonzalo.

It's the married/engaged vaqueros versus Pajarote. Cósme, María Nieves and Carmelito discuss their plans to make something of themselves for their families. Pajarote feels left out. The other guys point out that he has said that he doesn't want any responsibilities. MN gives a little speech about how he and the other guys want to work hard and put their families first. Pajarote can continue to do what his father did- sleep around and leave fatherless children ('sigue montando a tus vaquillas y dejando terneros regados por ahí,' literally, 'continue mounting your heifers and leaving calves littered all around') but he shouldn't complain if he gets left behind in life. Pajarote says that with friends like them, he doesn't need enemies. Cósme says that MN went too far ('como que se te fue la mano') but Carmelito doesn't agree.

Sapo has a new hideout. He tells Facundo that no one must suspect that they are using the farms to bring in their merchandise. He is going to get his business organized first and then take care of DB.

DB is closer than he thinks, though. She and Melquíades have found the runway.

Santos is outraged that Marisela is back working for Gonzalo. She defends Gonzalo against Santos' accusations and says that she is staying with him.
