Caray, Caray!

At the condo, Adolfo decides Roberto will be a washout as a thug and threatens to take away the apartment, the car and the cash because Roberto can't gird up and kill someone -- even though Adolfo already once saved Carlos and Roberto from jail for the death of the hotel maid.

Bertha pitches a fit at breakfast at Mario's and worms her way into David's Manzanillo business trip, despite David being too busy to ferry her around. Bertha instructs long-suffering David to arrange for Roberto to accompany them so she can have some fun while there.

Roberto visits Elsa and is shocked to learn that the guy selling the house was the man they framed for the maid's murder -- and that the reason Juan José didn't sell is that he recognized Carlos as the son of the man who sent him to prison.

David calls Gabriela at home to apologize for his fight with Carlos in the office the night before and beg her to meet him and have a serious talk; he's going off on a business trip to Manzanillo later that day, he tells her.

At Juan José's, he is dismayed to find Asunción has been gabbing freely with Caramelo about the treasure and what they'll do with it; but Asunción insists it's just a game, both for the girl -- and for them, too. If they don't ever find the treasure, they'll just go back to being poor and forget about it.

Back at Elsa's, she starts the thought running in Roberto's head that Juan José has had nothing to do for the past eleven years except think about being framed; and for some scheme that occurs to him, Roberto suddenly offers to pay the still outstanding fee of the shyster lawyer who visited there earlier, threatening Elsa to re-incarcerate Juan José.

David apologizes to Gabriela in the park for the previous evening and vows he's truly in love with her and wants everyone to know openly; he intends to talk to her father, and by the time David kisses Gabriela, she's already a puddle of purr.

Roberto visits Carlos at the restaurant office and urgently fills him in on his conversation with Elsa about Juan José; they are both fearful of what a guy like him and eleven years in prison could wreak on them and Adolfo and Mario.

Marcos and the low-life bunk mate board one of several work-detail vans under guard at the prison and head out of the city.

Meanwhile, Roberto shows Julieta his new apartment, and she's impressed with it and his car and money -- which he sketchily explains came from some recent business deals. A phone call makes Roberto abruptly change plans to go on a three-day trip; but Julieta does not learn it's David on the other end.

Roberto makes a bee line for the luxury condo, where Adolfo takes him back into his employ upon learning of Roberto's trip with David -- and that the man they framed for the maid's death is living across the way from the victim Adolfo has chosen for Roberto: Mario Genovés.

Juan José at home is getting irritated he doesn't even possess a decent shirt in which to visit Elsa, when Asunción points out Elsa wouldn't care -- she likes him anyway. Juan José doubts he could offer her anything, even if he felt towards Elsa more than just the lovely sister of his erstwhile friend.

Roberto continues laying out his cunning plan to Adolfo: he thinks that after eleven years in prison brooding on nothing but revenge against Adolfo and Mario, Juan José has surely moved in next to Mario for that reason -- and they can use him to do their dirty work. It dawns on Adolfo that Roberto is a smart fellow to figure out a way to kill two birds with one stone: kill Mario and put the hapless guy they framed back in prison.

Out in the country, the prison vans continue on their route; but some "associates" of the low-life have set up a roadblock ambush, and all the vehicles come to a screeching halt to the tune of semi-automatic weapons. They dump the guards and set the inmates free, as Marcos and the low-life advance to the front of the caravan and speed away.

At the garment factory, clueless Salomón is tickled to learn his son, Roberto, has finally grown up and is getting his own apartment and becoming a business man -- and that Salomón will get his money back soon.

Gabriela's joy gets a bucket of cold water over a talk with Julieta at the kitchen table, where Julieta explains her doubts about David, Roberto and the cousins going on the "business" trip to Manzanillo together -- and Julieta phones for Bertha at Mario's just to find she's out of town.

Later at work, Gabriela is sick to think David would jerk her around like that, especially after claiming he wanted to speak to her dad. She feels like an idiot for falling in love with him. But Julieta's approach is nastier; she wants to fight fire with fire and get back at David and Roberto.

After eternally digging in the kitchen floor, all the deprivations of the past eleven years and disappointments of his life after release are steadily wearing on Juan José's nerves, despite Asunción's attempts to calm him. Calm him, hell! He's working up a really good mad for revenge.

From the restaurant office, Carlos must fruitlessly chase Yolanda onto the floor to apologize for being rude to her after she tried to talk some sense into him about his fight with David over Gabriela. Spying Gabriela working a table there, Carlos pulls her into the office to talk David down and himself up just at a time Gabriela's feeling low about David. She's going to ask her dad for permission to have dinner with Carlos.

From way down in the bottom of the now-deep pit in the kitchen floor, Juan José starts frantically yelling for Asunción; when he arrives, Juan José hands him out a rusted piece of the well head which he excitedly says Gregorio told him about. Here it is! Here it is! We found it! We found it!
