Caray, Caray!

Carlota’s talking with the lawyer, requesting that he change the clause about Paloma getting her money when she turns 18. He says he can’t, and she assures him that she’ll find a way to compensate him for it.

On the phone, Carlota agrees to give Arcadia the money--she’ll bring it to her tonight at 9.

The doctor, Rodolfo, has stopped by to invite Macarena to go to the symphony concert with him and she agrees. He thought she was going to say no after what happened with Carlota yesterday, how Carlota said it was unethical for him to ask Macarena out since she’s his patient (of course, Carlota hears all this). Macarena sees that Carlota’s listening and asks the doc what time she should be ready.

Rufi arrives at Emiliano’s office to return his jacket. He asks if Paloma gave Rufi a message for him, but she didn’t. Orlando asks why did Paloma have your jacket? Emiliano, waxing poetic, recounts their meeting at the church--he has never felt her so close, something happened, he felt a connection between them for the first time. But she ran off without saying anything. Orlando says maybe the encounter scared her and she wanted to put some distance between them, and wonders if the fact that she sent the jacket back via a servant instead of returning it herself is a message that she wants Emiliano far away from her.

Romina and Paloma are at school, and Romina’s mocking Aron saying he’s there for Paloma if she needs a shoulder to cry on, etc.--puhleeze, says Romina, of course he loves you. Paloma tells her that Aron only wants to be friends. Romina says Paloma has to give him a chance, but Paloma replies that a very long time is going to pass before she’s interested in someone again. Romina understands about Inaki, but tells her to move on already. Paloma thinks if what happened to her happened to Romina, or Romina and Emiliano broke up, Romina wouldn’t be able to fall for anyone else so quickly. Romina declares there’s no possibility of them breaking up, and she wouldn’t be surprised if Emiliano proposes very soon.

Macarena is getting ready for her date, asking Rufi what she should wear. Carlota comes in with her usual criticisms about Macarena’s romance being ridiculous and how her clothes are unfashionable and old--the doctor is going to be embarrassed/ashamed of you. Rufi tells her not to pay attention to Carlota, but Macarena thinks Carlota was right, she is being ridiculous.

German and Emiliano are eating out, with German asking Emiliano for business advice or something. Then German says he’s thinking of going out with Paloma and Emiliano freaks out--don’t even think about it. You don’t take anyone seriously, for you everything is just about having fun. German thinks maybe a girl like Paloma is what he needs. He wonders if Emiliano is interested in her, but E denies it, saying he feels responsible for her, because Inaki once told him that he trusted Emiliano to take care of her. Emiliano thinks German should at least wait until she recovers from Inaki’s death, and German wonders if maybe there’s something else going on with Emiliano.

Paloma’s on the phone with Angelica, she’d like to talk in person, and Angelica agrees to wait for her in the park. Then she has a flashback of almost kissing Emiliano in the rain.

Romina joins German and Emiliano at the restaurant. German asks what Romina thinks of him going with Paloma and she laughs no, you two are like water and oil. Emiliano says see? I’m not the only one who thinks you and Paloma are a no go. Then Romina adds the gossip that Paloma already found someone, Aron.

Paloma shares with Angelica that she feels badly about Inaki, and Angelica tries to assure her that nothing she does now can affect Inaki. Paloma says that for a second she felt like kissing Emiliano. Angelica suggests that perhaps Paloma wasn’t thinking of Emiliano at that moment, but of Inaki--she had just been looking at their photos, so maybe she projected her feelings for him onto Emiliano. But it’s also possible that you’re attracted to Emiliano--Paloma denies this. Angelica says sometimes life surprises us and one can love again, sooner than they thought. Paloma protests but not Emiliano, he was Inaki’s friend and is Romina’s boyfriend and it scares her to think there could be something between them.

Macarena visits Camila at her shop to say that she’s not going to go out with the doctor because Carlota is right, I doesn’t have the right clothes, etc. Camila thinks Macarena is just nervous and decides to take her shopping.

Carlota at the bank picking up a briefcase full of cash.

Arcadia tells her niece that she’s going away tomorrow to the frontera (I think she means the United States?) to start a new life.

Musical montage of Macarena trying on dresses. Camila buys the clothes and Macarena doesn’t know how she’ll repay Camila for everything she does for her--she’s like the sister Mac always wanted to have. She also hopes Carlota doesn’t see the new outfit, because she surely she’s not going to like it. Camila asks what do you care if Carlota likes it or not, that’s Carlota’s problem, not yours.

Ines runs into Rafael on the street and she tells him how Diana informed her about the new ceramics line and the business making millions again (or did she say that Rafa would become a millionaire again?). Rafael looks POed. When did Diana tell you this? Oh, a couple days after you reconciled.

Diana shops for fabric--I guess she plans to redecorate.

Carlota puts the briefcase on top of a bureau.

Rufi comes to Paloma’s room to tell her that Aron is there to see her. He has brought her a book with poetry, quotes, etc. Carlota enters and Paloma asks if she remembers him; Aron reminds Carlota that he’s Ines’s nephew, the one she wanted for Paloma. Carlota says Paloma’s in mourning and shouldn’t go out with him or anyone else. Aron says friends are there in good times and bad, and he’ll call tomorrow to see if Paloma wants to go to the movies. After he leaves Paloma asks why shouldn’t she go out with Aron--after all, you said he was the kind of person you wanted near me and now I’m listening to you. Carlota asks, and if people criticize and talk badly of you? Paloma says pain is carried within, and she doesn’t care what others think.

Emiliano is ranting to Orlando about Paloma allegedly having another boyfriend. Every day it’s harder for him to hide his feelings for her. Emiliano declares that he’s going to put distance between them and Orlando agrees that’s the best option.

Macarena asks Paloma don’t think I’m being ridiculous? She wouldn’t have dared do this if not for the love she has for Paloma. She doesn’t want Paloma’s destiny to be like her and Carlota’s. She advises Paloma to trust, love, and feel alive again. Maybe it’s too late for her (Macarena), but Paloma is young and has her whole life ahead of her. If Paloma achieves happiness, everything will have been worth it. The doctor arrives to pick up Macarena; as they leave Carlota glares and shakes her head.

Emiliano and his nana Meche talk about her grandson Chava--he wasn’t where E expected to find him playing soccer. Apparently Chava is hanging out with kids who are older than him and she’s very worried about him. She’s afraid that he’ll turn into an alcoholic, like his mother. Chava knows about this and she has tried to talk to him, but everything she says goes in one ear and out the other. Emiliano promises to talk to him.

Romina tells Camila that she really wants to see her father, she thinks he’s in Mexico City (according to the detective she hired) she’s sure he will look for her, she’s going to see him soon and she’s never going to let him leave. Camila tries to caution Romina and is worried that she’ll get hurt. Romina thinks if he’s back it’s because he came for her, and she’ll welcome him back with all her heart.

Carlota skulks out of the house with the briefcase; Emiliano is across the street in front of Romina’s house and sees her. Paloma gets out of bed and looks out the window--Emiliano smiles and waves, which causes her to duck back into her room. While waiting for Romina to open the door, Emiliano moons over Pal a bit more.

Arcadia’s on the side of the road when Carlota drives up. Arcadia checks that the money’s all there and starts to walk away. Carlota gets back into her car and runs her over. I seem to remember that the FELS recappers/viewers kept a body count, and it looks like we’ll need one for this show too. So that makes two people Carlota has knocked off so far (that we know of).

Carlota picks up the briefcase and shoves Arcadia’s body off the side of the road.

Emiliano and Romina are eating dinner at her house. Emiliano mentions the situation with Chava, and she while she thinks the kid isn’t Emiliano’s responsibility, she likes that he worries about Chava because that means he’s going to be a very good father. He responds that he had a great example. Romina tells him about her father being in Mexico City. Emiliano changes the subject and asks if it’s true that Paloma already has a new boyfriend--yes, it’s true…Paloma isn’t as sweet and pure as everyone thinks. The truth is I don’t understand--to me she isn’t so “wow” for everyone to be crazy for her.

Paloma gets out of bed again, looks out the window and sees that Emiliano’s car is still there in front of Romina’s house.

Rafael arrives home and he finds out that Diana bought a new living room set. He’s annoyed and asks how they’re going to pay for it. Well, don’t you have a new investor that’s going to make him a millionaire? He replies that he never said they were going to be millionaires.

Macarena and the doctor Rodolfo are at a restaurant. She likes him but senses that he has other intentions, and doubts that she can return his feelings. He explains she’s everything he wants in a woman, etc. She’s a good woman who deserves to leave behind all the sadness she’s had in her life, and he has realized that Paloma is the only thing keeping her with Carlota. She confesses that she had decided to move out after Paloma married. He offers to take care of her and Paloma, and he wants them to marry.

Diana wants to know if we’re not rich, why’d you give me that painting? It’s not fair if you can buy whatever you want and I can’t. Rafael explains that he used his savings to buy the painting; they haven’t seen any money from the new project yet, and besides it is a risk. Diana protests that Joel told her it’d be successful and that they are going to be rich. Rafa asks what did Joel say and when? She lies that she hasn’t seen Joel in a long time, and says stress must be causing Rafa to make things up.

Carlota is back home after just another day at the office. She’s got a lace doily thing on and is caressing it while smiling at herself in the mirror (Que the heck??!!). I think we saw her or someone else putting this on in the very first episode?

Avances: Cristobal looking impactado while standing at gate, Carlota plotting against Aron, Orlando and Camila on a date, Emiliano sees Paloma at the movies with Aron, and German says Emiliano is in love with Paloma (which Romina hears).
