Caray, Caray!

Gonzo hands Barb the documents that transfer the property that belongs to her. She thinks that when she turns these over to Artemio Bravo as Rebeca Sanchez, there will be no connection to her.

Aurora tells Fer that Barb is her mother and that Artemio Bravo is her father. Fer asks her if she has any proof. Aurora tells Fer that he was the person who sent money to Dominga who brought her up. Fer can hardly believe it.

Ed tells Fr. Bosco that he went to see Erika. Bosco wants to know what made him change his mind at the last minute. He says Fernanda Elizalde. Erika found out his real feelings for Fernanda. And, he says, that Erika said that Fernanda was in love with Franco Santoro, a man who does not exist. Franco says that he’s the person who is there to deal with Eduardo Sanchez’ enemies. Bosco tells Ed that Artemio Bravo will come Monday night to see the body. Ed tells Bosco to lead Artemio to a false grave and to let Artemio’s men open it. He will take advantage of that time to free Lili. Bosco wants to know who will carry out the plan if he’s there while Artemio is opening the grave. Franco says his trusted friends will make sure Lili is safe, and he will tell Artemio Bravo that he is Eduardo. Bosco begs and hopes there will be no massacre. Ed says he will do anything for his friends.

Steve and Jacinto are planning the caper of a lifetime. They have maps and plats of Artemio’s fortress. Steve says everything has to be secret and well planned. Martina and Venus want to help. Steve says it’s too dangerous. Martina will take any risk to free Lili. Jacinto says they could help.

Fer tells Santi that Barb is so smart he has to be careful and make her think he’s in Florence. A knock on the door – it’s Franco. Fred says what’s up, Barb told me that you was out of the country. She explains why Santi is hiding and tells Franco that Barb is Aurora’s mother.

At casa Elizalde Tomasa tells Barb that Fer is with Erika. Gonzo then reveals that Erika and Fred did not get married. Anibal is worried about business, and Pris takes offense. Gonzo says that Fred is a good guy and Barb shares his opinion and that Franco would be good for Fer once she’s rid of Damian.

At the prison, Lucio tells Damian that he is going to be paroled. His sister mortgaged her house to hire a lawyer for him. Damian offers to help. He says he has a job for him. Lucio is all ears. Damian says it has to do with Barbara Greco. Lucio says that’s been his dream, or a nightmare he would like to bury. Damian will get back with him when he is free.

Franco asks how long Barb has known Gonzo. 16 years – since Barb found her with Eduardo. They discuss AB’s vengeance and why Barb would hide the existence of a child. Santi is disgusted because he realizes that Barb would be his child’s grandmother. Fer also tells them that Barb wants Aurora to leave with her. She’s keeping it secret. They have to be very sure that Barb doesn’t get away with Aurora and the baby. Santi is having a fit. Fer says she won’t leave the convent. Franco is afraid that if she leaves, they will lose Lili.

Ani reminds Pris of a convention she forgot about. Pris tells him she knows that Barb has been listening in to their conversations. Pris isn’t sure what she knows, except that Vlad is dead. Ani, always the hothead, wants to fix this situation. He’s still burning that Barb has 60% of Lactos. He is going to prepare a montaje so that his father will know about her infidelity and divorce her. Pris says that Barb is a monster. Do you want me to tell what you are, asks Ani. Well, he’s one character who will never let go of the past.

Aurora doesn’t like to tell lies. Fer asks Aurora if she knows about Lili and that Franco is going to free her and that Artemio Bravo has Lili. She also tells Aurora that Barb and Artemio Bravo have done her family a great deal of harm.

Fer tells Aurora that it’s true that Santi returned for her and is hiding in a hotel. Fer tells her they have to be careful of Barbara. Aurora asks if Barb is capable of hurting her and Santi. Aurora wants to see her father, but Fer explains that Barb won’t understand.

Franco tells Santi about how they will storm the mansion and get past the guards. Santi doesn’t care about the risks. Franco tells Santi that it’s even more serious because you’re Gonzalo’s son. Santi says don’t you think it’s about time I did something for my family.

Aurora has a hard time understanding that her parents are trying to destroy the Elizaldes. A nun runs in and tells Aurora that Barb is there to see her. Barb is at the door with packages. She’s been shopping. Fer has parked her car two blocks away. The nun doesn’t know what to do. She tells Aurora to go to her room and tells Fer to go down the hall and that she can leave when Barb is in Aurora’s room.

Steve is renting a crane without an operator and states that they will pick it up today. Enter his troops, Martina and Venus. He wants to emphasize that this is a dangerous, risky mission. They have studied the plan and they are ready. They beg him to accept their help. He gives in and will talk to them.

Meanwhile Ed clues Santi in on the part they will play. They don’t want the police in on this. Apparently Steve will operate the crane. Did I just write that? Steve, the effete Harvard grad. Go, man, go. Venus and Martina call Franco and tell him he can count on them. Franco says, with tongue in cheek, I hope, that he couldn’t think of better people to help him.

Steve says, what do you say. Martina and Venus accept.

At the convent, Aurora is opening the packages and tells Barb everything is beautiful and Barb is too generous with her. Barb wants her grandchild to lack for nothing. Aurora presses her about her father. Barb, says that as far as AB is concerned, you are dead. He thinks you died in the fire with Dominga. He sent his men to blow up the cantina. Aurora is visibly moved. You were never important to him. Barb asks her to pay attention. Aurora says she needs more time in order to comprehend what Barb is saying. Aurora says she’ll decide when they meet up with Santiago. Barb cracks a smile.

At the prison, Pris visits Damian, who says he never expected her to visit him. She says, you wrote me this note. Damian says it was a little trick to get you here.

Barb tells Aurora that they will have a beautiful house with a garden and place for the baby to play. The four of them will live together. And, Santiago, too, says Aurora. Barb chokes on that. Aurora says, why not call him. Barb reaches into her big red purse. What a shame. I forgot my agenda and don’t have the number. Aurora asks why she and Fer don’t get along. Barb goes into her speech about how much she has done for the Elizalde children, etc, etc. Barb asks Aurora where she got the idea that she and Fer didn’t get along. Just curious, says Aurora. Barb is getting suspicious. Barb says, I’m your mother. Nothing can come between us and hurt you. Barb wants to know if Fer came to visit her. Aurora gets around that one. Barb says it’s hard to get through to Fer, but she doesn’t want that with Aurora. Aurora has a problem hugging her and Barb’s curiosity is working overtime.

Damian is working Pris. Pris tells him that Barb overheard her and Anibal. Pris says can you find out. He says do you think the Hiena will come to visit me. She set me up and that’s why I’m here. He says Pris has to do something for her. Tell your jerk of a husband that I’ll tell the world that your child is not his if he doesn’t help me get out.

At Casa Elizalde, Barb thought bubbles that Fer has been visiting her daughter. Barb lights in to Fer about Steve Norton. She says that Lovely is not what she says she is and that Camilo is in jail because of them. It’s all making Daddy sick. Gonzo is trying to talk to Santi and they can’t reach him by phone. Barb wants Fer to call him at his studio in Florence and hands Fer a phone that she removes from the big red bag.

At the prison, Pris agrees that she will ask Ani to use his influence to help Damian who tries to kiss her hand. Lucio says, so you are connected to Pris. Damian is going to explain to Lucio what he’s going to do, but they have to go to a more private place.

Fer calls Franco and tells them that they are looking for Santiago. She’s going to visit Franco because Santiago made an arrangement with Franco to get in touch with him. Fer says that if they go, Franco may be more inclined to tell them where Santi is. Gonzo then tells Fer that she must withdraw her complaint against Camilo.

Damian says that Barb is planning to leave with the girl. Lucio wants to know if the girl is a nun. They want to get the girl before Barb does.

Barb is yelling at Fer to tell her Santi’s location. Fer says, you’re the one who ordered him out of the country. Franco knows where Santi is staying. So she invites Barb and Gonzo to go to Las Animas with her to talk to Franco. Barb tells Fer and Franco that it is their duty to keep Santiago as far away as possible. Franco writes something on a paper and says he’ll call. Barb says, no, I’ll call. She asks Fer if she has anything else to say to Franco since Fer has not made any attempt to move, and they both leave. Franco is furious.

Fer drives Barb and says she thought you would call Santiago immediately. A donkey passes in front of Fer who has to stop and suddenly a red truck hits her from behind. The driver was distracted. The truck is borrowed. While Fer is talking to the other driver, her phone rings. Barb sees it’s a call from the convent. Aurora asks for Fer and when Barb hears her voice she is muy impactada. Ed: Now what? We know that Barb gives birth and eats her young. What do you think could happen now. This may become a parallel plot to that of Artemio Bravo and Lili.

Fer tries to arrange things with the man. She’ll pay him. Of course he agrees and she gets back in the car. Fer will send the truck to be fixed. Aurora says, how strange to Mother Superior. Aurora expected Fer to answer, but she hung up. MS tells her to call again. A recording says the phone is off.

At casa Elizalde, Pris rethinks her conversation with Damian and that he’ll sell his silence for freedom. She says that Ani is right, Damian is doing anything (dando palos de ciego) throwing sticks like a blind man (or using the buckshot approach) to get out of jail.

Team Franco reviews their plan to storm the castle. Fernando and Jacinto will work together while Venus will give the signal when Santiago and Martina have gotten Lili out of her room. Just then, his phone rings. He tried to call Fer, but her phone was off. She says everything is OK. She wants to know what number he gave Barb. He says his friend Paul in Cortina D’Ampezza is helping him. Fer is getting anxious. He reminds her that there is a six hour time difference between Mexico and Italy and that this will work to their advantage.

Barb is trying to call someone (Paul in Italy). Gonzo enters. No one answers the phone at the place in Italy. She tells Gonzo that it’s not strange that Santi wouldn’t want to deal with them since they made him leave. Gonzo wants her to accompany him to visit Camilo. Of course she would go, but she has something to do. Gonzo says poor Santi when he finds out his great love is bearing his brother’s child.

Fer calls Mother Superior and MS tells her that Aurora tried to call her to advise her that Barb tried to get her to leave, but fortunately Aurora was firm. Fer tells MS to look after Aurora because she realized that Barb has seen her cell phone and knows that she’s been in contact with Aurora.

Barb is furious with Fer and says she better be careful. Barb is pulling off her jewelry and is very pleased with herself. She says, you, Fernanda, will deliver Aurora to me. I swear that my daughter and grandchild will not be taken away from me until death do us part.

End of chapter.
