Caray, Caray!

• Rafa paces and rants at the jail. He punched Marco instead of giving in to his blackmail (i.e., Marco dropping the charges against Rafa's ma in exchange for Rafa's leaving Ale forever).
  
  Julieta says Rafa must do as Marco says, nothing is as important as their mother's release.
  
  
• Ale seethes as the unctuous Daniel, calling her chiquilla (kid), proposes: he'll buy back her hacienda and return it to her in exchange for - her undying devotion.
  
  When she rejects that proposal, he seems to settle for: time enough to show her what a grand heart he has.
  
  She tells him he's vulgar and starts to leave, reminding him that Rafa is the love of her life! Daniel: "I have lots of money and I have the whole world, but nobody to share it with ... at least, nobody like you..."
  
  
• Marino is ecstatic that some guy with a coat of arms in his office promises to buy all of Auto Siglo's flotilla of trucks.
  
  Beltran and Dona Arcadio are equally ebullient at the news and warm to Marino's proposed coup.
  
  Marino then lords it over the other employees, gets Ramirez to sew the sleeve of his jacket back on, and happily practices his future threats - he'll be punishing them for their disrespect - he'll be docking his subordinates three days of pay if they rebel ...
  
  
• Zetina shows up and the happy comrades persuade him that Rafa is not going to hire him again. All that money wasted on his incompetent spying! They tell Zetina (Samudia, Segovia, Sisichina) to give up, maybe try selling shoes from a catalog (since cars and photography are not his forte). He says they'll never see him again.
  
  
• At the prison, Julieta yells and barks at Rafa: "Yield to Marco's demands and give up Ale forever or I won't ever speak to you again."
  
  
• Ale droops home. She's horrified by her dad's depression - he won't eat, he just sits and plays with his fingers and thinks about his future funeral and cremation. Rosario says he'll die if this continues.
  
  Ale remembers Daniel's offer. Oh no! The only way she can think of to save her daddy's life is to give in to the chantaje (blackmail) of the perfidious millionaire! Because it may be that only recuperation of the hacienda will life Jorge's spirits...
  
  
• Rafa goes home alone and bam, there's Vicki Vicki Vicki at the door!
  
  He tells her all. She remembers Marco making a pass at her at the psychologist's office. "I know him a bit, I've seen him around, I could talk to him!"
  
  Her deal: she convinces Marco to let Rafa's mom out in exchange for - Rafa's undying devotion.
  
  Rafa is horrified but agrees, while apologizing to Santa Claus fot the terrible lie - "it's an emergency!" To stall, he insists that VVV keep their newly-revived relationship secret - or it will get wrecked like last time...
  
  
• Ale cries in bed, wondering who Rafa might be with, that he isn't answering his phone - and wondering if she will always be so jealous of him.
  
  
• Daniel calls: "I'm sweet, simple, and stubborn. Have you thought about my proposition?" "Yes, and I accept."
  
  "An excellent decision, you won't regret it." "I'm regretting it already." "I'm not a monster! Let's meet tomorrow early and hammer out the details."
  
  She agrees - and wonders how Rafa will take it when she says she has to break off their relationship.
  
  
• Chavez and Marco have a victory celebration at the bar. Over a few bottles of whiskey, they decide to have a huge party, which Marco will enjoy all the more because he is back in the full flush of potency! They'll throw it at his apartment - "Ale will be crawling back soon enough, but meanwhile we have the place to ourselves."
  
  
• So, when Rafa dials Marco's number, there's no answer because the rumba line chez Marco is too loud - the boys are wearing pieces of a bear suit and the girls are in garters.
  
  
• Since they couldn't get through to Marco, Vicki and Rafa agree to meet early in the morning, deal with Marco, and spring Eleanor.
  
  
• Susana performs a gratuitous product placement of some hair stuff.
  
  
• Marino gloats, gloats, gloats about his huge truck sale and impending rise to power. The general says there's nothing worse than a prole who forgets his origins. "Remember, there's many a slip twixt the cup and the lip," Jimenez adds.
  
  
• Doña Arcadio tsk-tsks over her spy camera as she watches the salesforce gossip and wonders why her top execs are absent.
  
  
• Rafa and Ale (each uneasy and annoyed that the other's phone has been turned off) arrive late. Ale, crying, tells Susana she just spent the worst night of her life.
  
  When she explains the deal Daniel has convinced her into, Susana asks, "Are you ditching Rafa?" "I have no choice, I have to save my father's life."
