Caray, Caray!

Meanwhile back at the daisy petal plucking method of choosing men, then the crypt of Constanza. Regina says no one can fill the hole of a lost mother. She wonders who MdeRosario can be and Leonarda muses that she is so talented that no one suspects that she killed Constanza and no one suspects that Rosario’s crypt is actually empty but she effectively killed her too.

Said Rosario is thanking the whining servant thanking for her help and saying she is her only friend and just seems to have noticed that the woman cannot speak.

Juan looks at the nets and the stars and says he could find his mother in one of the stars as Orion sits in the background. If not for Remegio he would not have survived so he needs to search for him. he owes him much. A youth steals a fish off the fire and is chased down by the laughing men.

Back at the convent, draped in 3 times the white gown needed Regina prays to be accepted in the house of god and cured of her wounds. Another nun in black tells her that Mother X will receive her now.

Juan talks about worry the youngster they saw last night. The lad professes to fish better that all these old men. and Juan invites him to tell of family. He says he has no mother or father and flinches to the ground at Juan’s touch. Juan reveals his whip slashed back. Were do you live? Show me your house. Juan and the men follow the child.

Mother Superior ask Regina if her father has permitted this, yes. Why do you want to take the habit and orders. Regina says a man whom she loved with all her out has elijedo, chosen another woman.

The tough child beater confronts Juan and the kid. Juan offers to take the kid off his hands.

MomSuper says this is not a good enough excuse, it is for those who chose the saintly rooms. Regina then confesses that she is being forced by her father. to marry a man whom she does not love. She begs for an opportunity. This convent is not a place to disobey your father. Is it worse to trick a man whom you do not love than to disobey your father.

Noel asks Rodrigo why he punishes Regina and urges him to Noel then cuts to the chase why has Rodrigo kept his anger about Rosario all these years and her desire to be with Juan de Dios?
***

Where did you find the child of Rosario this Noel says that the child survived. He tells him he received a letter fro mJuan de Dios but Rodrigo was out gadding about so Noel got it. The love child of M de Rosario is wandering around Are you going to abandon your own blood. So he took him in . Who died falling off the horse. The child must be taken care of . My son is honest and just and he will protect Juan like some one of the family and he has done it. Rodrigo tears up the letter and threatens that if this subject isn’t dead to all of them it will be terrible for all of them. HIs eyes flicker in nerves bursting out of his neck.

Juan finishes thrashing the unrepentant father of the child who claims he is so white and that somehow justifies his abuse, Juan leads the crying lad off away from the sandy defeated father.

Juan plays beach games with the well clad fisherman. Juan professes that he is going to get all dressed up to go ask for the hand of Aimee.

Aimee admires herself in the mirror and says that Renato is tender and thoughtful and it will be better to have his fortune than just her father’s, although aren’t they the same thing. Aimee, thinks deeply that Renato is giving such lovely flattering attention and she cannot fathom why her sister Regina urged her to promise to be faithful to Renato if she decides to marry him. Aimee promises Clemencia that she is incapable of hurting Renato. Clemencia says Regina told her of the intrigue with a strange man on the ship. Aimee denies all and begs Clemencia to believe her.

Arcadio complains that Leo has not come to see him since Rod has returned. and she says she doesn't’ t want to be discovered. Arcadio would like to Rod to know that after all these years she has been someone else and been his.

Rodrigo says this bastard had nothing to do with the Ocas. Noel says he is unjust. Rodrigo shows his eye tic again saying since the death of M de Rosario he has no interest in the bastard or anything associated with it.

Fop Federico follows Fulgencio into a cave, (is this his father?) He asks for help and Fulgencio directs him to a trunk which has bags of something and a rifle. Don Fulgencio demands that he work with him again if he wants help. He throws him a few coins and says he must discover who is against him (flash of someone being shot from a horse and hitting his head on a stone, sorry I missed this scene?)

Back on the fishing boat the men joke with the boy and Juan says he will take care of him.

Federico talks with Gabriel and Gab want s to know why Fed is being so inquisitive about his boss.

Rod and Fed meet in front of an impressive door and he says he must help Don Fulgencio. This seems to please Rodrigo who must be involved in the smuggling business to enhance his upper class investment activity. Rod says lets go have a coffee which is of course a stronger drink in a brandy snifter. They discuss that perhaps Regina will come to her senses and accept him and reject the convent. Rodrigo opines Ojala this come to pass.

Regina enters her rather opulent convent room which has beautiful pictures candles and lots of niceties . She prays and cries, prays and cries.

Renato looks at a huge diamond ring (the ice) with a jeweler. He does not care what the cost is of this big rock looks like at least 3 carats, He prays all he desires is Aimee will accept his love.

Leo sends Rosenda off and scolds Aimee that she is not to mention Rosario again. She was a traitor to her father and must not be . She hears a voice and says perhaps her father just suffers because of the betrayal of a woman. She thinks a man of the same class is who she should marry and that would be Renato but who she truly loves is the fiery Juan (the fire). She thinks back on the passion.while she does the daisy thing again with Renato or Juan. Renato or Juan she kisses the petals sensually on the Juan petals. the Renato petals drop quietly to the floor. hmmmm.
***

Rodrigo and Federico stroll and see Madam Marlena and her bevy of beauties. He asks them to join him for a little party at the Finca and won’t take no for an answer. The Frenchman finally accepts when Rod says he won’t take no of and answer. Marlena hides behind her fan.
***
Last scene and next time: The villagers sell vegetables and fish while the sombrero one watches from the grass. Maid keeps flowers and remembers that gardenias were found at Rosario's grave. Who could have brought those special flowers.

Juan shares all the money handing it out to the fishermen and the child. he avers he doesn’t need any of it and he is very proud of them. His friend remembers how just and good his father was. too.

Renato has something to say to Aimee and gives her the box I hope you will like it . She starts to protest abut remembers her fathers’ threat of the convent. and she says she cannot go with Juan and passion because she needs the life she is accustomed to. Renato professes his love since he saw her again when she . She doesn’t know what to say. He only wants her to say she will accept, he wants her to want to marry him. We exit to a fiery shirtless Juan. Tomorrow decisions come to a head: passion or position, fresh fish or diamonds, fire or ice. Later we will get to the convent -vs- the fop.
