Caray, Caray!

Juan wakes up in bed with Regina and freaks out. He hopes he didn't do anything to her and has a hurried and whispered conversation with God about it. When he realizes Reggie is waking up, he lies down with his back to her. She turns over and puts an arm over him, then freaks out and jumps out of bed. She's glad he didn't move all night. He "wakes up" and asks if she's fine, if he didn't do anything. They have a very predictable argument about Juan crawling into her bed and refusing to get out. And also, he smelled like booze. Juan agrees that he's smelling boozy. He laughs about her taking his boots off--"Good thing, cause I tend to move around a lot when I sleep." She asks if he finds this "jocoso," and says she had a horrible night making sure he didn't fall out of bed or crawl on top of her. Juan asks her if she'll please give him some water. He did have too much to drink after all. But who can blame him, with such friendly women at the bar. She throws the glass of water in his face and he licks it off his shirt. She gripes that she has a right to be upset, as his wife. But he says if it bothered her so much, he'll promise not to do it again…if she forgives him. Well, she'll think about it. Juan grabs his chest in pain and says he's going up to visit with the crew. Dude, did he get a tattoo? And is it Reggie's name? And is it spelled correctly?

Leonarda goes into her armoire and pulls out the cask of jewels. She thought bubbles that the jewels are now all hers. She's free of Arcadio, finally. Leo burns Constanza's letter. She says she only has to get rid of Reggie and Juan and she and Rod can be happy together.

Gabe and the Virgen have a convo. Gabe wants Jimena safe and sound, and found. He loves her and he can't live without her. He offers his life for hers, if it will help, but he just wants her to come back safe.

Jimena gets accosted by a tavern patron while all the others look on. He says everyone's got a price. She gets away from him, but he grabs her again and gets a knee in the groin for his trouble. When that doesn't cool him off, she cracks a bottle over his head. Her boss says if she keeps breaking stuff she's going to have to pay for it. Jimena threatens the remaining patrons that if they don't behave themselves around her, they'll get the same.

Phillipe is happy to hear from Madame that Rosenda is feeling better. She'd almost rather that Rosenda keeps her shiny new amnesia. Not just to forget about her, but so she'll forget about Rod and Leo. Phillipe tells her about Renato's bad behavior at the casino the other night. Madame says that they may act like gentlemen, but the're really all barbarians. She's shocked to hear that Rodrigo dared show his face there again. Madame says if he insists on coming, he'll be treated like any other client, no special treatment. Phillipe passes on the news that Arcadio torched the hacienda and took off. He doesn't think Rosenda is in any danger anymore. Marlene is thrilled to hear it.

Doc starts to teach Rosenda about some of the compounds and such that he uses. They giggle over her trouble with pronunciation. She's not sure she'll be able to remember it all, but he says she'll learn it little by little. A bottle of pills gets knocked over in their awkward flirting and they have a moment while picking up thepills.

Reggie gets herself dressed, including her now customary head scarf and some new bare shoulders. She sees Juan skinny dipping . And yes, he does the backstroke. Reggie is shocked and has to run back to the cabin. She could probably use one of Aimee's fans now, if they're not all chewed up.

She pulls the curtains and fumes about "that man." She takes another look out the window and gets another eyeful. She's scandalized at the sight of her HUSBAND swimming naked where she might actually get a good look at him.

Noel tells Renato "I told you so" about Arcadio. Ren says it will take a while to recover from the damage. Noel is upset that Paraiso got destroyed. He reminds Ren that he'll support him in reconstructing Paraiso. Nah, Ren is over it now. It should have stayed a dream. That's the most fertile land and after the fire, they'll need it. Renato is tired of getting kicked around by life. Renato the idealist has been killed by betrayal. Renato is dead, long live Renato.

Juan comes into the cabin, fully clothed, and Reggie tries to hide behind her bible. He goes back out of the cabin so he can knock on the door. She won't let him in until he promises he's got clothes on. And even then she's afraid to look. Juan is glad to see her and asks her to join him on deck and see the view of Saba. Oh, Reggie's gotten quite enough of a view for today. She leaves the cabin, having a hard time looking at him. The Daisy Duke-style shirt is bothersome to me.

On deck, Reggie admires the view of the island, and also the smell of pimiento, clavo, and nuez moscada. Juan agrees. He starts telling her about the other islands and other places she needs to see. Reggie tells him she sees him as a different person. Juan says he feels like he's known her his whole life.

Reggie imagines that everyone on the island must be happy. Juan reminds her man takes evil wherever he goes. Women included. Reggie is sure Juan isn't one of those evil men. He advises her not to bet on him or he might disappoint her. There's a lot of cruelty in the world. He slips up and calls her "Santa Regina" again, but they agree he'll try not to call her that and he'll try to get used to her calling him Juan de Dios. He says it was his father's name, after all, so no reason to avoid it. He agrees to tell her his whole story one day, but immediately excuses himself to go shout orders at his crew.

Jimena/Angela's grandpa and Raul meet with Noel at the café to ask for his help in locating Angela. Raul is sure with all the people Noel knows, he could advise the private investigator. Noel is happy to help and agrees to work with the investigator to get some quick results. Noel says he hopes they can find Alberto's grandchild and end his family's suffering. Alberto gives her full name as Angela Ramirez Villareal.

Eloisa and Fed discuss Jimena. Fed says she really freaked out Fully. Eloisa says he denied it, but she can tell he was surprised by what Jimena said. Fed says they've got to hurry up and kill Fully. Eloisa's waiting for the right moment to poison him. She wonders what Jimena meant about the weapons, especially since Fully's business is coffee. Fed avoids the question, saying Jimena just makes things up to get money from people. Eloisa decides she's tired of talking.

Renato goes into his new bedroom and looks at Reggie's journal again. He sits down and starts to open it, but decides not to disrespect Reggie by reading it. He finds a hankie with her perfume lingering and muses that it's the fresh perfume of a good woman.

Reggie starts trying to ask Juan about his past once they're headed away form the island. Juan doesn't like to think about his childhood. Reggie figures that he gets on so well with Colibri because they have similar pasts. Juan says that Colibri was physically mistreated, while he, Juan, had his soul destroyed. And yeah, he does think it's that bad. He doesn't want to talk about it. But Reggie wants to understand…Juan asks her not to waste such a nice day. He says who a person is isn't all about what family a person comes from. There's a tree analogy. Reggie likes it and thinks what he said was very pretty.

Back at the finca, Gabe is desperately seeking Jimena and has come to ask for Clem's help. She lets him know that Jimena hasn't been there in a long while. She tells him not to lose faith, but he feels guilty. Clem says the whole mess was both their faults. Gabe regrets not realizing what Juan was trying to tell him all this time. Clem tells him to stay calm and pray to the Virgen del Carmen. Gabe is sure she'll help him.

Marlene has brought Rosenda some lotion as a gift, since pregnancy dries out one's skin. Rosenda kisses her hand in thanks, on impulse. Marlene is thrilled.

Lulu runs into Noel in town. He apologizes for not coming by lately, but he's been busy. He tells her she looks much prettier dressed simply, as she is now. Lulu tells him she's missed talking to him. She's learned so much from him. Noel realizes he's keeping her from her shopping, but asks if he can have a moment of her time to chat.

Gabe rides along, looking for Jimena under every rock and behind every tree. So does Branko, only he does it on foot. Neither one of them has any luck, but at least they look pretty doing it.

Clemencia worries about Regina and hopes Juan is treating her well. Renato wonders what she's sighing about. Ren figures Regina is fine, being in love with Juan and all. He can't understand how she changed so much, into a secretive women. Clem says Reggie is as open as always, she never lied to anyone. Clem realizes that Ren never really knew Reggie at all. Ren thinks about this and heads back to his bedroom. He remembers Clem saying that Reggie did everything she did for love and that he never knew Reggie the way she deserved for him to know her. He starts reading the journal from the end, on the day she married Juan. Now he knows she loved him and married Juan to protect Aimee. Renato can't believe it--Reggie sacrificed herself for him. Yeah, don't let it go to your head.
