Caray, Caray!

Episode #22:

* Aimee and Juan are at the cave. He doesn’t want her to leave. She says she must - she has to get back home to the party - he laughs at all the invited guests. She laughs at his jealousy - he is angry and obsessed with her - she flirts with him and tells him of her commitment to attending the party. She makes him promise to wait for her - he asks her to never abandon him.

* Regina and Leona at the party. Leona wonders why she won’t drink anything but water. Regina looks around and wonders where her sister is. Renato looks around, notices Aimee isn’t there and wonders the same thing.

* Aimee kisses Juan and leaves the cave. Juan is hugging himself in dreamland.

* In the bedroom, Eloisa wanders around and then walks out to the hallway to tell Leona a cover story about Aimee. Leona believes it.

* In the grand ballroom/living room, Leona announces to the guests and Renato an excuse as to why Aimee hasn’t arrived yet to the party. Regina stands at the side of the room, brooding and grumbling her thoughts about the real reason behind Aimee’s disappearance.

* Remiglio, Pedro and Santos are at the beach hut discussing Juan’s revenge plant and what kind of future he could have. Remiglio decides to talk with Juan and convince him not to go through with the revenge (innocents could be hurt).

* Arcadio meets with soldier in the office. They discuss who ruined their plans and how to find him.

* Juan is in his favorite cave. He has a flashback to meeting his dad for the first time and learning the truth about his mom and dad, and then visiting his mom’s grave with his dad. He is upset and walks around the cave door. He kneels down at the campfire and grumbles his anger and disgust towards Rodrigo Montes de Oca and his ultimate desire to royally punish him.

* Regina talks with Clemencia in the kitchen about her indignation and resignation over Renato and Aimee’s engagement. Clemencia gives her advice on how to handle it - Regina finds the advice really hard to take - Clemencia sees that Renato is more and more in love with Aimee everyday. Regina knows the secret nature of her twin sister. Clemencia tells Regina to let it go and think of the positives instead of the hurt feelings. Regina is upset as she listens to Clemencia, when she has heard enough, she blasts Clemencia that Aimee is a flirt and just using Renato; that Aimee loves to flirt with all the boys and doesn’t know how to love. Clemencia tells her to stop saying that about her sister, or she could end up hating her sister forever.

* Aimee makes it back to the garden - Rosie confronts her - Aimee asks her to keep this a secret - Rosie says, sure, I can do that, I have been keeping lots of secrets about what happens in this house. Aimee is curious. Rosie doesn’t say anything more specific just that she can keep a secret.

* Aimee and Eloisa meet up in the bedroom. Eloisa informs her friend that everyone was looking for her. She came up with a cover story for Leona. Aimee is stunned and asks Eloisa to help her continue the cover up.

* Eloisa and Aimee walk downstairs to the party. Aimee fakes a fainting spell and acts out of breath. Renato is worried about her. Dr. Pablo speaks up. Aimee makes her apologies for being late to the party. Renato and Aimee sit together on the sofa. Rod asks Rosie to serve them some champagne. Noel stands up and makes a very short toast to Renato and Aimee. Fulgencio takes Eloisa aside and scolds her for not telling him when she visits Aimee alone in the bedroom. Fed and Eloisa have a private talk in another location in the room. Fulgencio and Rod interrupt to talk business - Fed makes up an excuse about his investments in Europe; he will notify them when he has some money free to invest in the business venture with them. Rod accepts it. Fulgencio doesn’t and makes it well known to Fed not to deceive him. Fed has to assure Fulgencio that he understands.

* Renato and Aimee talk in private about her illness. Dr. Pablo gives his opinion and offers help. Renato wonders about the date for the wedding. Aimee wants to wait 6 months - Renato is impactado. Noel and Rod add their two cents about having the wedding in a couple of weeks and then Rod will pay for the honeymoon trip. Now, Aimee is speechless and impactado. That is until Regina strolls into the midst of the crowd and announces that she thinks Aimee and Renato should wait, so they can see if they are really in love. Aimee, always wanting to be the center of attention, contradicts her sister and says, no, she won’t wait, she and Renato are in love and she will marry him whenever he wants -- Renato is happily surprised.

* At the cave, Arcadio ambushes Juan and holds a gun to his head. Arcadio blasts him with several accusations. Juan holds his own and defends himself. They argue - Soldier sneaks up behind Juan and holds rifle to his back.

* The next day, Juan stops by the little beach hut and talk with his buddies Santos and Pedro. Pedro thanks Juan for standing up and defending and protecting the fishing village. Juan is happy to do it. Santos looks really beaten up. Lo-and-behold, a lady enters the hut to care for Santos. She talks with Juan. Juan leaves.

* Aimee finds Regina in prayer in her room and asks about the book - a diary perhaps, Aimee laughs as Regina closes it and holds it away from Aimee. Aimee doesn’t really care; she just is there to thank Regina for her arguments and declarations tonight. They argue over if Aimee really wants to make Renato happy. Regina wants her sister to just be honest.
Juan prepares for a meeting.

* Aimee and Regina continue their argument over Renato’s character - Regina thinks he is honest and noble; Aimee thinks he is an innocent fool. She also thinks Regina is jealous. Aimee tells her sister that she isn’t really all that sure that she will marry Renato. Regina can’t believe what Aimee is saying or doing to Renato. Regina is visibly hurt, upset and disgusted. Regina asks Aimee what her plans are. Aimee finally reveals that she is thinking about leaving him and sending him back to Regina.

* Renato is busy informing his dad and Rod in the office about his success and plans for the ranch and the crops. Rod and Noel are pleased. Renato leaves. Rod and Noel discuss another business venture before Rod excuses himself to go to another appointment. Noel sits alone in his office when Juan shows up. As Juan enters, Noel is impactado. They sit. Juan explains that he is there on behalf of his boss, Juan Aldama, and presents Noel with his business documents.

* Aimee tells Regina her plan for Renato and his fortune. Regina expresses her disgust. Aimee laughs and tells her that Regina has no proof, plus with her mental illness, no one will believe her. Aimee then threatens Regina. Regina can’t stand Aimee and her wild unscrupulous flirtatious games.

* Noel looks at the papers and then hands them back to Juan. He wonders why Juan didn’t properly introduce himself to the group last night. Juan explains. Noel accepts. As Juan is about to leave, Noel asks him another question. Juan says yes, he can.

* In the hallway, Juan and Raul meet and argue. Juan tells him either Raul agrees to meet with him now or there will be consequences.

* At the cafe on the street, Juan tells Raul about his boss, and his business in town. Raul is indignant and tries to leave. Juan won’t let him escape. He apparently knows something about Raul’s illegal business deals in Germany and forces Raul to sit and listen. Juan invites Raul to his home later to continue the discussion.

* Regina comes downstairs. Fed is right there and sees her. He wants to talk. She tries to leave. He insists. She reluctantly agrees, but only as friends. She remembers her camera and asks to go to room to get it and then they can talk in the garden. Fed reluctantly agrees - then remembers he has to attend to a business appointment.

* Leona and Rosie are ready to leave.

* Regina takes photos in the garden and talks with Clemencia and Remiglio. They discuss where she will develop the photos. Remiglio wonders about the dungeon. Clemencia and Regina discuss the ghost stories. Regina is curious.

* Regina, Clemencia and Remiglio stand at the gate to the dungeon. Arcadio meets them from the opposite side and tells them to leave - orders of Leona. Regina stands firm and says that she will tell Renato if Arcadio doesn’t let them pass. Arcadio opens the gate and lets them through.

* Arcadio enters the solitary confinement cell. He gags and ties Maria to the chair. He threatens her and Mirta if they make any noise.

* At the dungeon gate, Arcadio thought bubbles what to tell Leona about the surprise visitors.
In one of the other dungeon rooms, Regina and Clemencia have set up a little well-lit darkroom. Regina has started to develop one of the photos she had taken. Clemencia is impactado with the image (uh-oh! she recognizes him! it’s Juan del Diablo!)
