Caray, Caray!

Regina doesn't know what to make of Aimee's threat, but sits at her kitchen table and cries.

Leonarda tells Clem she has no proof. Clemencia says God doesn't need "proof" and Leo will get the same punishment as if she actually had killed her sister. She advises her to apologize to her sister while there's still time. Leo shouts she has nothing to feel sorry for and Clem tells her to think about it. Leo goes back to hitting the bottle and curses Maria del Rosario.

Clemencia runs into Aimee on her way downstairs. Aimee says she must be happy for the newlyweds. Clem says they are happy, despite what Aimee thinks, and Aimee wouldn't know truth if it nibbled on her fan. Clem leaves and Aimee mocks her. She thought bubbles that their happiness won't last now that Renato has done the paperwork for the anulment.

Renato is all in at the card table. Juan takes the bet. Renato lays down a good hand, but before he can take the pot, Juan lays down a better one. Fully says Renato lost it all. Renato wants to get it back. He offers to bet his half of the finca and the house in town. Juan will take that bet. If he loses, then he'll give Renato his half of the finca and the house in town. They ask Fulgencio to deal. Dumb. Ass. If Juan loses, he still has a house and a fortune, but Renato won't have a dime to his name. Renato doesn't need a card. Juan looks panicked. Fully says they've got to lay down their cards at the same time. Renato grins at Juan. Fully declares Juan the winner. Raul looks pleased for the first time tonight. Renato is in shock. Juan doesn't look terribly happy either.

Maria del Rosario sits up in bed, reading her bible. Regina comes in and sits with her. MdR asks her for a favor. She wants her to guard her love with Juan. To forget the hate that runs in the Montes de Oca family and be happy. She asks Regina to swear nothing will separate her from Juan. Regina swears that the love she and Juan have will be as eternal as Maria del Rosario's love for the original J double D. Renato signs over his half of the house and finca to Juan in the presence of Fully and Raul. He takes his leave. Juan takes the paper and says good night to everyone but Fed. He leaves his cash and asks Raul to give it to the poor…and the soon-to-be-poor (looking at Fed).

Maria del Rosario sleeps. Juan comes in with flowers for her and the paper from Renato. He panics, but she's just sleeping. He whispers to her that he won back the finca for her at poker. The finca is all hers now and she can do what she wants with it. He wants to see her living there, as lady of the house, so she can remember her youth, when she was happy and in love with his dad. He asks why fate keeps taking from him what he most loves. Now that he knows his mom will be leaving him soon, he's going to miss all the love and affection he didn't get from her growing up. He'll have to be strong to let her go. He gives her a kiss and says he'll really miss her. He takes her hand and crosses himself with it, then positions the flowers and the paper where she'll see them. He leaves and MdR starts crying, having apparently been awake the whole time. She strokes the flowers and says her heart is broken because she knows the end is near, but at least she's grateful she got to meet him and give him all the love and blessings she couldn't before. She hopes she can give him enough strength to let her go. She remembers Juan de Dios giving her flowers. She tells him to come for her. She grabs the vase, knocking the paper to the ground, and holds the flowers close to her, crying.

Eloisa's staff put the living room back the way it was. She hopes Fully was pleased with her. He thanks her and says he can't understand why Fed came without an invitation. Maybe Fed is getting a little too comfortable. Eloisa laughs that Fully is the one who brought Fed to the house in the first place, to help with his bad economic situation. Fully agrees with her. Eloisa complains about him inviting Juan. Fully tells her life makes justice in strange ways. We all pay our debts at some time. He advises her not to forget that and kisses her.

A tired Doc Miranda tells Remi he's healing up well. He's tired from all the travel back and forth to see Rosenda and Madame Marlene. Remi is still bitter about the whole "ho" thing. Doc Miranda says nobody's perfect. Remi doesn't want to hear Lulu's name. Doc Miranda says he'll lay off, but he does want to talk about something. He asks about Remi finding Juan when Juan was a baby. He's worried about all the lies the Montes de Ocas have told.

Leo goes looking for Renato, but he's not in his room/the girls' old room. She says she felt lonely and wanted to talk to him. She cries when she realizes he's not there.

Doc Miranda is convinced they had something to do with the death of his uncle. He figures that his uncle was there for Juan's birth and that he refused to keep his mouth shut and was killed. Remi says that's a pretty serious accusation. Doc Miranda wants to look for proof. If Leo and Rod killed his uncle, he doesn't want to let them get away with it.

Leo cries. Alone. In the dark. Serves her right. She cries that she's being left alone and she doesn't have anyone. Everyone is abandoning her and soon she won't have anyone but that bitch Aimee. But at least she'll have her grandchild, right? That will be her only consolation, her only company. She tunrs and heads out of the room.

Aimee strokes her corseted belly and its fake padding. She stomps the fake belly on the floor and curses Regina for sleeping with Juan. She curses Juan too.

Reggie and Juan lie in bed together. She doesn't know why he went to confront Renato. Juan says he had some unfinished business with Renato. He'll tell her about it in the morning, but for now, he strongly suggests they kiss all night. Not that we get to watch, mind you.

The next morning, Leo's nursing a hangover. She asks Celia for stronger coffee. Celia thought bubbles about how much she drank last night. Renato comes downstairs and greets Leo. She complains about how awful she feels and how late he got home last night. He asks for a few minutes to talk about last night…um, in the office please, so one one interrupts them. She can decide for herself how serious it is. In the office, Leo sits behind the desk. Renato is pacing and it makes her dizzy. He refuses coffee or tea. Leo doesn't like seeing him so upset. Renato says no one is lucky in this house. Leo thinks if he tries, he can fix his life. "With Aimee?" Leo knows he doesn't like her like he did before, but that happens in all marriages. And then other things are left. Renato says he doesn't have respect for her. Leo reminds him there's a kid on the way. She notices Ren isn't listening. He tells her they've lost the house and the finca. Heh. Oh, sorry, I mean, Gee, that's too bad. *giggle, snort*

Eloisa comes into Fully's office to tell him she's going to see her dressmaker. Fully says he doesn't want to be without her today. Eloisa whines about all the work he has to do. He says he'll leave it all for another day. She can pick up her dresses some other time, right? Eloisa is forced to agree and says he comes first. She reminds him that his wishes come before anything else. They hug and Eloisa makes faces.

Leo demands an explanation. Renato admits he lost it at cards. Leo is shocked. Renato tells her they've still got money. The only thing he doesn't like about this is that Juan is the guy who won it all. Leo doesn't like it much either. Serves her right, the cow!

Lulu answers the door at Raul's house. Noel comes in with kind words for her. He greets Don Alberto and asks if Raul is available. Alberto says there was something about unfinished business after a card game and four big bags of money. Noel agrees that's strange, but he's sure the rumor mill will come through. Has Alberto had a chance to think about Noel's doubts about Salma? Alberto has noticed that her attitude has changed recently and he's starting to think Noel might be right and Salma isn't really Angela. His wife hears him and gets upset.

Renato keeps trying to console Leo. Aimee fans herself idly. Leo is upset because the house was a present from Rodrigo. She hoped her grandchildren would grow up there. Aimee giggles behind her fan. She suggests they move into her dad's house in town while they look for another house where Leo's grandchildren can play. She'll go into town and talk to her dad immediately. Renato tries to stop her, but Leo says she always gets her way anyway, so just let her go. Renato says that Rod has nothing to say about this, since the finca was his.

Regina is shocked when she hears the news. Juan makes it sound like it's not his fault--it was all Renato's idea! Reggie is worried about her family. Juan gets upset and says he'll give it back, then! Reggie calms him down with kisses and says she doesn't care about Renato, she's just worried about her family is all. Juan tells Reggie that he wanted to give the house to his mom and he wanted Reggie to help her with it. Well, Reggie doesn't have good memories of the finca and doesn't want to live there. Juan agrees--he doesn't want to either. Reggie suggests they give the house to Clemencia. Juan likes that idea. Reggie likes their little house and wants to live there. Juan says he's heard in town that there's rumblings of revolution. He's heard the idea that the land should belong to those who work it, so he'd like to give the land to the farm workers and the fishermen. Reggie agrees and says she's so proud of him.
