Caray, Caray!

Emiliano doesn’t believe Diana’s claim that she was beaten and robbed on the street. He asks her for the truth, so she replies that the only truth is that there’s no one more important to her than him and she’s capable of doing everything for him. Emiliano shows her the photo of her that Orlando had in his office and asks what is her connection with Orlando. She lies that Orlando beat her up.

Camila catches Romina on her way out; Romi claims she’s going to have coffee with a friend, but not Paloma, cuz she’s not Romi’s friend. Romi worries that she looks fat but Cami assures her that she looks pretty as always. Yes, I do, don’t I? She skips out and Cami tells her not to run, she’s pregnant.

Orlando and Angelica are walking down the street when Emiliano runs up and demands to know how Orlando could beat up his mom. Orlando tries to explain that he didn’t do it--Diana lied. Emil thinks his mom doesn’t lie. When Emil says he doesn’t want to have anything to do with Orlando ever again, Orlando says that’s not possible, because . . . “Luke, *I* am your father.” Oops, wrong show. Anyway, Orlando reveals that he’s Emil’s biological father, which Emil doesn’t believe. Orlando tries to explain that he searched for him for years. Ange interjects that it’s all true. Orlando calls Emil “hijo” but Emil tells him not to--he only has one papa, his name is Rafael. Emil takes off and Ange tells Orlando to give him time.

Rafael meets up with Joel to discuss Orlando allegedly assaulting Diana. If it was up to him Rafa would put him in jail, but the worry is that he could file charges against Diana for stealing his money.

Paloma explains to Carlota about dropping the charges against Aron. Carlota pretends to admire this and opines that one must forgive the actions of others, even if they have caused one a lot of harm. And you shouldn’t cause bitterness, like you might be doing by hiding your relationship with Emiliano from Romina. Pal wants to wait for the DNA test results before telling Romi; she trusts Emil. Carlota tells Pal that she’s naïve and it reminds her of Macarena, who defended Pal’s “father” the same way. But at least you haven’t slept with Emiliano . . . have you?? Pal tells her no.

Dr. Bermudez goes to see German and informs him that he can’t do what German requested, which is go to the lab and ask that another possible father be included in the paternity testing. Dr. B asks about his request for Ger to look into Paloma’s father’s will. German notes that it’s risky for him to do that, so how much is Dr. B willing to give him to run that risk?

Padre Juan Cris asks Padre Benito what Carlota said to him. PadB comments that she knows how to do things and is very capable. But he would rather not talk about her anymore. Cris says he’s made a decision--he's going to accept the bishop position.

Outside the house of horrors, Dr. B tells Rufi he can’t do anything about investigating the will, because even paying German off doesn’t guarantee that he’ll help them. Rufi has tried searching for the papers in the house, but hasn’t found anything. She insists they can’t give up, and besides, in less than a month Paloma will turn 18. Carlota comes out and wants to know why Dr. B is there; Rufi claims that she’s talking with him about some pain she has in her legs. Carlota orders Rufi to get back to her chores.

Back inside Carlota vows to keep an eye on Rufi; she doesn’t like her talking with Dr. B. Paloma is on the phone with Liliana so Carlota picks up the extension to eavesdrop. Lili says they have to have a big party for Pal’s 18th. Pal thinks she can’t because of Crazylota, so Lili reminds her that she will be of age then, and Carlota won’t be her guardian anymore. Carlota laughs to herself that Pal will never escape her grip and is not going to be able to survive without her.

Romina waits at a mall for Samuel and when he comes up behind her and calls her name, she says “papa” and they embrace. He has a smile on his face like he’s got dollar signs in his eyes.

Cris tells Padre Benito that he’s off to dinner with Natalia and Ivonne; the latter has info on Pal’s parents not being in debt like Carlota claims they were when they died. Cris thinks Carlota is lying like she always has. Before he leaves Real del Monte, he has to have this matter with Paloma taken care of. After Cris exits, PadB calls to talk to Obispo Calixto, but he’s in Rome.

Emiliano sits in his car and cries. He remembers the time Diana wanted him to talk to Rafa before agreeing to become Orlando’s partner, and the time Orlando came to his house and commented and asked about his mom upon seeing her photo. Emil calls Pal and asks her to come see him; she agrees.

Ivonne thinks Natalia is sad and lonely that Alonso hasn’t called and so is filling the void with the affection she has for Cris. Nat says he was the love of her life and it hurt when she learned he didn’t love her. Ivonne advises Nat not to seek refuge in Cris, because she’ll end up suffering a great deal.

Orlando brings Angelica to his house. She offers to cook dinner, with his help (to get his mind off his troubles). He wonders how Emil is doing and she counsels him to be very patient.

Paloma asks for Rufi’s help in leaving the house to go see Emiliano.

Diana asks Rafa to stay the night, and he agrees to camp out in the living room. He has tried calling Emil but no response. Di thinks Orlando spilled the beans and that’s why Emil hasn’t come to the house.

Pal fixes up her bed to make it look like she’s asleep under the covers. Rufi promises to wait at the bottom of the stairs til Pal returns, and she'll let her in (Pal/Rufi don't have their own house keys?).

Rafa tries calling Emil’s office, but no answer. He needs to know what Orlando told his son.

Pal tells Carlota she's not hungry and is very tired, so she’s going to bed. Carlota looks a little puzzled/suspicious.

Rafa calls Camila--she's really happy to hear from him and has been thinking about him a lot. He interrupts to ask for Orlando’s phone number.

Paloma comes to Emil’s rescue and he asks her to hug him, only she can console him.

Camila sadly wonders why Rafa is treating her like this.

Emiliano has told Pal all about Orlando. He wants to know what was the relationship between Di and Orlando, why did Rafa raise him as his own son? He doesn’t want to talk to the three of them, especially not Orlando. Pal gives Emil the same advice that he gave her when she found out that Tia Macarena was really her mother: listen to him. He agrees to talk to his mother and Rafa first, then he’ll see about Orly. He tells Pal she’s the only one who hasn’t failed him. He wonders if Orlando only made him his partner because he carries his blood. He says he wants to run away with Paloma and forget about everything; she does too.

Samuel tells Romina that Camila didn’t need him and he regrets going off with another woman. He claims that he didn’t forget Romi--he called the house many times but Cami told him that Romi didn’t want to see him. Romi says that her mom never told her that he had called. She asks if he’s still with the other woman (no) and why he wanted to find her now. He answers that he found out she was looking for him, so he figured she had forgiven him and wouldn’t reject him if he came back.

More smoochy mushiness with Emiliano and Paloma. Emil thanks her for coming into his life and showing him what love is.

Ines and Aaron arrive home. She tells him that she kicked Angelica to the curb, and he thinks she shouldn’t have done that. Aron worries that Ines will be alone now, because he’s leaving town. He feels very uncomfortable there since the news of what happened with Pal is all over town, and he feels ashamed of what he did. Ines asks him to think about it but he declares that tomorrow he’s outta there.

Carlota is about to go into Pal’s room but Rufi intercepts her and offers her a cup of tea that she was going to give to Pal but didn’t because she didn’t want to wake her.

Orlando and Angelica are finishing their dinner when Rafa calls looking for Emil--he asks Orly if he let the cat out of the bag. Yep, sure did. Rafa takes off in search of Emiliano. Di laments that her poor little baby must be suffering and thinks at least he’ll hate Orlando, and that’s how she’ll get revenge on him.

Orlando takes off to look for Emiliano--he's afraid E will do something crazy.

Samuel tells Romi that it was he who left Camila and makes it sound like he still loves her. If Cami would forgive and accept him, he’d be the happiest man in the world.

Ivonne, Nat and Cris talk about Carlota hiding the truth about Paloma’s parents’ financial situation. Nat mentions that Alonso thinks Carlota had something to do with Inaki’s death because it seemed strange for someone so healthy to just wake up with a heart attack, right after dining with Purplelota. Cris worries that if that’s true, Paloma is in more danger than he thought, and if that’s the case he won’t be able to leave in peace. He fills Nat in on his decision to accept the promotion to bishop.

Romina barges into Cami’s room and demands to know why she didn’t tell her that her father had been calling. Romi informs him that Samuel is in town and she’s never going to separate them, NUNCA!

Orlando, with Cris’s help, wanders the streets in search of Emiliano, as does Rafael. Mientras tanto, Rufi waits at the bottom of the stairs for Pal to come home.

More mush-laden anvil bait--Emil and Pal feel each other’s hearts, it seems as if they’re united as one.

Previews: It looks like Emil and Pal spent the night in his car, Rufi frets that Pal hasn’t come home, and Carlota beats up the furniture.
