Caray, Caray!

Teresa Apr 28, 2011 Cap 33 & 34.


RECAP IS FINALLY DONE! And just in time, too! LOL.

This is going to be another "type as I watch" recap. I know there will be errors! Please speak up and correct any you find! Thanks!

We start with a rewind from yesterday, starting at Mariano's grad party. He's dancing with pretty blonde associate. Juana is talking with Refugio and gets the eye from Aurora's dad. Can't figure out if it's recognition or attraction or "oh cr@p, it's her/him!" We shall see!

Aurora's dad gives Mariano some good news. Mariano announces to the party-goers. He's been given a budget? (?) Presumably something to do with the clinic or practice he's setting up.

Back at Teresa's home, Aurora is hearing Teresa rant about Mariano's letting her down. Aurora wants to know is Teresa done with him? Teresa seems to think if he can't come up to snuff, then that's it.

Nice doctor (can't remember his name yet, sorry) has given Esperanza a ride back to the hospital and they're chatting in the hall. The conversation strays to the novio and she says something about being ashamed. Nice doctor says that we all do stupid things in the name of love. She asks if she can help him, and he says no. She then looks like she's embarrassed that she had the nerve to ask and walks off quickly. Nice doctor looks so disappointed, as if he wanted to keep the conversation going.

Disappointed jefe looks on as Esperanza rushes off. (Click on image to see much larger version.)

Back at Teresa's house, Refugio comes in to Teresa's room, wanting to talk. But she notices Teresa's starting to pack. Where are you going? Mom asks. She first thinks it's to Aurora's place, but Teresa clues her in: She's going to Professor Hottie's place!

Mom is horrified. You don't love him! Teresa scoffs at love. She's getting outta there! Mom and Teresa start to struggle over the suitcase that Teresa's been packing.

Paulo's giving Aida a bouquet for her birthday. She makes a big fuss over the few flowers he offers her. Many annoying "bebes" and smoochy-faces. They start to have an argument about marriage and money. She wants to be married, but he's got no money. FF>>

Refugio comes to Armando's work to tell him that Teresa's flying the coop. Of course Mean Old Garage Owner gives them a bad time. Armando's got to close of the garage. So what if Refugio says it's an emergency.

Mariano barges into Teresa's house. They start the same old argument. "We're over!" she cries, and proceeds to remind him again of what a loser he is. He's not wanting the insults. He is mediocre and she wants more. He doesn't want to always be thinking about money. Blah blah blah. They get all fired up and then he grabs her and gives her an impassioned kiss as their theme song swells in the background.

Impassioned kiss. (Click on image to see larger version.)

As expected, Teresa responds enthusiastically to the kiss, but then Mariano pulls away and says "Good Bye Teresa." And then the CCs went out. I think he said something about how getting more? I don't know. I assume it has to do with choosing money over love or giving up love. Teresa looks at him with big, limpid, tear-filled eyes.

Tearful Teresa. (Tough luck, you can't have it all your way, bruja!) Click on image to see larger version.

At the garage, Armando tells Mean Old Garage Owner that he needs his job to live, but his family comes first. Mean Old Garage Owner says go take care of your emergency, the boy (Johnny) can close up the garage. He's pretty snarly about it, though.

Teresa struggles in Mariano's arms and yells at him that he's got an ego, that he thinks she could only ever love him? That he expects her to live a life of sacrifice for love? Basically they say the same thing over again about love, ambition, sacrifice, etc, and conversation ends and he walks out. Teresa cries.

A short conversation between Aurora and her dad about the financing of Mariano's new clinic(?).

Teresa is sitting on the floor, holding Rosita's picture and saying to her, "Mariano and I have lost it all, Rosita." At least I think that's what she said, the CCs were confusing. Madre and Padre come in. They want to know if she's leaving, oh yeah, she's leaving. They have chosen this life together, but if she stays she'll die, she cries.

Teresa pleads with her parents to understand. (Click on image to see larger version.)

Mariano goes back to his darkened room and re-lives all the really crappy things that Teresa has said to her about what a loser he is. He cries.

Teresa is still trying to explain to her parents why she has to get out of there and how she wants more from life. She realizes that they raised her and educated her but she wants a better life. Much crying and angst all around. Then Professor Hottie is brought into the conversation. What is going on between them, Madre wants to know. Armando explains that Professor Hottie has already declared his honorable intentions towards Teresa. But Madre (Refugio) doesn't like the sound of this at all, as she clutches her chest ominously.

There's a quick conversation between Cutberto and Juana where they talk a bit about what's going on with Teresa and Mariano. When Cutberto is critical of Teresa's antics, Juana kicks him out and says no one talks that way about Teresa.

More discussion between Refugio and Armando. He again assures her he's talked to Professor Hottie and Professor Hottie is on the up-and-up and his intentions are good. But Refugio just doesn't want this for her Teresa at all.

Armando goes into Teresa's room, where she's finishing up packing, to try to reason with her some more. Here we have more impassioned explaining of what she's feeling: Mariano hasn't fulfilled even one of his promises. Professor Hottie is a Hottie, he's rich, he's nice, and he's nice to her. Mom doesn't understand any of this, Teresa says.

Cutberto is trying to comfort a distraught Mariano. Mariano laments that he had these dreams, but Teresa wasn't willing to wait for him. He also says he's not willing to betray his principles. Mariano's dad comes in and says he hates to see Mariano hurting like this. Teresa does not merit this amount of pain. He also reminds Mariano that he's a wonderful man with a lot going for him and basically, he can do better than this. But Mariano wants Teresa. He'll never forget her. Mariano's dad hugs him.

At Professor Hottie's place, Luisa is reassuring an anxious Professor Hottie that the bedroom is ready for Teresa's arrival, and she's sure she'll like it there. They want to help Teresa in this strange situation with her parents, which they don't quite understand. (I didn't get all of the conversation here.) Professor Hottie does get an angry look when thinking about Mariano, though.

Hopeful Professor Hottie. (Click on image to see larger version.)

A little chat between Mariano, Mariano's dad, and Cutberto, talking about how to lay out the clinic—what will go here and there.

Teresa is on the phone with Luisa. She's still packing and the CD playing is her's and Mariano's song. She gets the CD out of the player and puts it in a case. Then she looks at the photo of herself and Mariano in a frame. She then sees the Teddy Bear that he gave her on her bed. She throws said bear in trash. Jaws music plays.

Refugio and Armando are in the middle of an argument about Teresa staying with Professor Hottie. Armando explains that Teresa's mad because Refugio slapped her, but Refugio says that's just a pretext. Then Armando says that Professor Hottie is an okay guy and can help them out. And there's nothing they can do, anyway. But Refugio doesn't believe this. She's fixed on Teresa staying with Mariano. Teresa walks in with her stuff and announces that she's going now. Professor Hottie's chofer is waiting. She hugs her father and says she loves him, then gives Mom a cold BRUJA-esque look and says "Adios Mama." BRUJA BRUJA BRUJA!!! Mala indeed! Out she goes, dragging her luggage behind her. Mom sits down and does the ominous chest-holding thing again.

As she's struggling down the stairs with her suitcase, along comes Drug-Dealer guy. Weird conversation that I didn't completely get. (Please someone fill me in!) He offers to help her with her luggage but of course there's no way. Then he asks something about Pablo. Then basically she says she's getting out of this horrible neighborhood and he mockingly talks about how he won't bother her again, her highness, or something like that.

Rubigote is talking with Aida and I think she's hitting on him to help out her and Paulo some more.

More of the argument between Refugio and Armando. She just won't get it through her head that this is how it's gonna be for Teresa, and that Professor Hottie isn't a bad guy. She gets so agitated that she collapses. Armando rushes out to get help.

Teresa enters Professor Hottie's house as Professor Hottie and Luisa welcome him. Teresa gets all verklempt (crocodile tears) about how she wishes circumstances could be different. Luisa welcomes her again and they both tell her how happy they are to have her there. Teresa then says she'll work hard on looking for another place to stay, but Luisa nixes that and says there's no need. Oh, she doesn't want to be a bother, Teresa says. Professor Hottie is totally going for this and takes her hand and assures her that he's just fiiiine with her being there.

He is so totally buying her act. Poor sucker. (Click on image to see larger version.)

Armando bangs on Armando's door and pleads him to come look after Refugio.

Luisa is showing Teresa her room. She sees that she left her cell phone at home. Then she notices that there's this huge vase of red roses there for her. "You don't forget any details" she says. When Luisa gives her a hug, Teresa has this total gold-digging bruja look of satisfaction on her face. She says that Luisa can be like a sister to her. Another fakey hug as Teresa steals a look at her new digs with a smug and covetous eye.

Refugio's in a bad way. Mariano says to get an ambulance right away!

At the hospital, Esperanza meets up with a distraught Armando, who fills her in on why he's there. Mariano comes up and says good news, we got her stable. He then explains that she has a pulmonary embolism (I think that's right) and they need to thin her blood. She'll be in intensive care and they'll be doing more tests. Armando is so upset and worried that she'll die. His life is over if she dies! Esperanza tells him not to think that way. He asks to visit her.

Professor Hottie visits Teresa's room. She plays him oh, so well. She feels so bad about being away from her parents. She always thought that when she left that home it would be wearing a white wedding dress. Professor Hottie drinks it all up. All she wants to do is cry, she laments. This gives him the opportunity to hold her close as he tells her to cry, get it all out. Teresa is folded into his comforting embrace and develops this sneaky gleam in her eye. Shameless!

She has no shame. (Click on image to see larger version.)

Armando is in Refugio's room, wearing a full gown and mask. She's unconscious and he pleads with her to fight to live. He loves her, can't lose her, etc. etc. Poor Armando.

Teresa at her shameless best: Professor Hottie, totally getting into this comforting of Teresa thing, says that maybe she can talk to her mom about their differences. Teresa cuts that off quickly. No, her mom is very angry. Thinks that Professor Hottie is up to no good. Mom won't listen! Professor Hottie says he can tell she's very fragile. (COUGH!!! LOL!) He holds her hand and lovingly caresses it as she looks up with her "innocent" look and says that it's such a comfort to be there and to know she's not alone. Professor Hottie is a total goner. The poor sucker!

She's a genius at playing him. (Click on image to see much larger version.)

Armando is being told by Mariano that Refugio is in a delicate way. Better get Teresa in here. Armando says he can't reach her by cell. And, she's left home. Mariano is not pleased by this. Mariano assumes she's staying at Juana's, but Armando breaks it to him—she's at Professor Hottie's. There's a look of hurt and disappointment on Mariano's face.

A disgusted and disappointed Mariano finds out she's moved into Professor Hottie's place.  (Click on image to see larger version.)

A very telling scene where Teresa is lounging on her bed and the friendly servant lady, Reina, comes in to bring food. Teresa bosses her around and wants her to fetch and carry for a bit. You can tell that Reina is taken aback by this, since she's known Teresa for years. WHAT A BRUJA!!! I think I hate Teresa in this scene.

Teresa orders the nice servant lady to fetch and carry. (Click on image to see larger version.)

There's a book on Teresa's bed and she opens it. Out falls a photo of her and Mariano at the amusement park. Teresa starts to rip it in half but stops herself, caresses it a bit, and carefully places it back in the book. Then she tucks the book back in a drawer, sort of hiding it. Soft tender music plays. Then the Jaws music starts up again as she lounges back on the bed and eats some fruit with a selfish gleam in her eye.

More disgust displayed by Armando at the news that Teresa's staying with Professor Hottie.

We go to a new scene at some darkened bar or lounge, where a hot guy we haven't seen before is kissing a hot blonde woman. There's talk of her needing a "personal guide" and it sounds like she's a model of some kind. She leaves and the guy has a sh*t-eating grin on his face. He walks off and in walks Professor Hottie. Professor Hottie makes some joke about this guy always having the most beautiful and famous women. Other guy jokes that Professor Hottie and he will always be single. But Professor Hottie has some news—he's met the perfect woman! (HA! If he only knew!) Friend congratulates him and asks what the "fortunate victim's" name is. Her name is Teresa. Professor Hottie explains that she's his student and his employee and he hasn't said anything to her yet. Friend thinks this is stupid.

Meet Fernando. (Click on image to see larger version.)

Mariano has come to the house and wants to tell Teresa about her mom. But Teresa and Luisa avoid him and don't answer the door, because Teresa assumes that Mariano is just there to make a scene. He yells that it's about her mom, but she doesn't hear. He leaves without talking to her.

More with the chat with Fernando. He's got some big project coming up in Cancun. He's going to be at the beach. He invites Professor Hottie and his future esposa to come along. Then he asks how Luisa is doing. Does she still have the glasses? Sounds like Luisa was a bit of an ugly duckling the last time he saw her. We know where this is going! LOL. Professor Hottie says she's doing great etc etc and he'll see her soon.

Luisa and Teresa are talking more about Mariano coming up to the door and then Teresa asks where Professor Hottie is. He's visiting with Fernando, Luisa tells her. There's some excited talk about seeing Fernando again, as Luisa had a major crush on him when she was a kid and always dreamed that she'd marry him. Ah, the silly dreams of a girl. But things are different now—and much better.

Juana, Armando, Cutberto and Mariano are at the hospital chatting. Mariano says he couldn't reach Teresa. Cutberto, as usual, puts his foot in it and says that likely Teresa is to blame for Refugio's attack. Juana gives him the stink-eye.

It's morning and Teresa wakes up in the luxury of her bed. She's happy as a clam. "The life that I deserve" she whispers to herself. BRUJA! She is such a bruja.

Breakfast at the Professor Hottie House. He talks about how Fernando is going to Cancun and has invited them. Teresa looks very interested in this.

Refugio has awoken in the hospital. Mariano explains what she's doing there. She grasps his arm and with breathless urgency makes him promise that he'll look after Teresa and not let her take the wrong path. She is so desperately urgent and distraught. Mariano promises and we see tears in his eyes.

The conversation continues as Mariano tells Refugio she's got to rest and get better. She promises to do so, because she's got to fight for Teresa. She's got to stay alive!

More explaining of this trip to Cancun. All three of them are invited. Teresa and Professor Hottie will be working, though. Something about construction (?) and if they get this job it could lead to others (?). It sounds very important, anyway.

A sweet but sort of filler scene between Cutberto and Juana, who are waiting in the hospital waiting room. Everyone's been napping as they wait for news. Cutberto talks about what a nice guy Mariano is, and so forth. He offers his shoulder for Juana to sleep on.

Cutberto and Juana (Click on image to see larger version)

At the Professor Hottie breakfast table, there's more talk of this important work. Professor Hottie is off to see Fernando about some documents that are confidential. Only he has been authorized to deal with them. I think Luisa asks if they don't trust Teresa to work on them? No, that's not it, it's just very delicate business. Teresa doesn't seem vexed by this but she does wonder why she even should go on this business trip. But Professor Hottie says she'll be needed there. (Or something.) Then as he goes to leave, he gets out his keys and offers them to her. Wow, she is impressed with this. His keys! She's got the keys to the castle, it seems like she's thinking.

Mean Garage Owner is angry that Armando isn't back at work. No amount of explaining that poor Armando's wife is in the hospital sways him. He's going to advertise for a new head mechanic. Poor Johnny looks so upset by this.

Luisa goes off to work (I think) and leaves Teresa alone in the house. She proceeds to boss around Reina the friendly servant lady around some more. This time she complains about the greasy foods. Doesn't matter that Professor Hottie loves the food that way, Teresa has the keys now. Shark music plays and I am hatin' the bruja in this scene. In the middle of her bruja-scene, Aurora comes to visit and tells her about mom being in the hospital.

A quick conversation between Juana and Mariano at the hospital. I think they're worried about hospital bills. I think (?) that Mariano is willing to sell his taxi to pay for the bills?

Aurora is telling Teresa about Refugio's delicate condition. Teresa seems genuinely concerned, but then has a little outburst about what rotten luck, just when she was going to go on this trip! Aurora reacts like "What the?", astonished at Teresa's heartlessness. Teresa quickly recovers and says it's for work, for work, but obviously mom comes first. Funny how I am not sure I believe that! LOL.

Professor Hottie is at the tennis courts with Fernando. Fernando says that if Professor Hottie thinks that Teresa is trustworthy, that's good enough for him, and she can see the delicate documents that they're working on. Professor Hottie admits that he knows love is blind and all, but honestly, Teresa is very smart, efficient, and capable. Fernando remarks that he's never heard Professor Hottie talk that way about a woman before.

As Teresa and Aurora leave, Teresa says that she left the house because Mom hit her. She also says that Luisa was the one who invited her to the house, not Professor Hottie. She seems unforgiving of mom but Aurora is disapproving of this.

Paulo is visiting with Rubigote. In essence, Rubigote will raise Paulo's salary because he wants his princessa to be happy. But he wants a date for the boda and if she is ever hurt then Paulo will answer to him, Rubigote! Paulo looks properly frightened as he leaves the office.

He with the large mustache. (Click on image to see larger version.)

A quick scene where Mariano visits the garage and Johnny tells him that Armando is out of a job. Mariano looks distressed.

Armando's blonde doctor associate is tending to Refugio. Refugio recognizes her from the graduation party. She tells blonde doctor that Mariano is a good boy and too bad Teresa can't see that. She looks so distressed and blonde doctor looks on like what a bruja Teresa is for upsetting her mom like that. Or something.

Teresa finally shows up at the hospital and is greeted by dad, Cutberto and Juana. Immediately Cutberto upsets her by implying that it's her fault that Refugio is in this state. Teresa walks off in a snit after chewing him out. Juana whacks him and chastises him but he says to himself, But it's the truth!

Teresa sees Mariano in the hallway and immediately rushes up to him, crying "is it true about my mom" and hugging him for comfort. He just looks sad.

Comforting Teresa. (Click on image to see larger version.)

Probably the worst, most ungracious, unromantic marriage proposal ever. Paulo is half-baked at a restaurant and swilling down booze as fast as he can to fortify himself. He rushes through the most unenthusiastic proposal to Aida who seems elated and thrilled, effuses with many smooches and "bebes." He doesn't have a ring so he gives her some wire or something as a placeholder for the real thing, and she even seems thrilled with that. The screenshot I've attached pretty much shows how the proposal went down.

The happy couple. (Click on image to see larger version.)

Mariano is explaining how mom is. It'll take time and ideally, she shouldn't work and she shouldn't have any stress. Teresa quickly jumps on this and says "So you blame me too for what happened!" He explains that he is not here to find blame, but just to say what needs to happen to make her better. Teresa whines that mom hit her. He says she was desperate. Then he asks about this Professor Hottie guy. She sharply says it's none of his business because they're no longer together. Then Esperanza comes in from Intensive Care to tell Teresa she can see her mom now.

Aurora tells Armando that we're all going to pray for Refugio. He thanks her.

Teresa is all suited and gloved to see mom in Intensive care. I was distracted by her mask almost falling out of place a few times. Basically the discussion is the same old, same old. Come back home, stick with Mariano. No, can't do that. Lather rinse repeat. Mom thinks nothing good can come from Professor Hottie. Things will be different this time. Teresa cuts that short and says there's no way, and never is she going back to that neighborhood. Jaws music plays.

Aida comes home and enthusiastically tells her parents that she's gonna get married. Whoop whoop whoop! "BODA!" She yells as her parents indulgently smile.

More discussion with Teresa and mom, as the blonde doctor listens in outside the door. More about love vs. money. Teresa lays it on the line: All of the woes we've had have been due to lack of money. Rosita's death, and so forth. I'm getting out of here and will look for a solution. I'll do what I have to. She sounds cold hearted and blonde doctor woman has a shocked expression on her face.

Brief meeting between Paulo and drug dealer guy. I guess he doesn't have enough money to pay for drugs and drug dealer guy is pretty angry and throws him to the ground. Paulo looks totally baked and out of it.

Teresa is walking along the hallway with Mariano. She thanks him for looking after mom. He says he loves Refugio, that's why he looked after her. He asks her again, is she really going to stick with Professor Hottie? She says coldly and deliberately that Professor Hottie is rich, he's a hottie, and he's completely in love with me. He's my perfect man. Unlike YOU. Oh that is COLD. Poor Mariano looks absolutely shattered.

She goes on to say that when it came to love, sure, Mariano was the ideal, but he didn't have the ambition. Mariano drives home the amor, amor crap. But Teresa says that Professor Hottie can give her what she wants and by the way, he's invited her to the beach! This seems to really be twisting the knife in for Mariano.

Blonde doctor is saying she hates Mariano's novia and (I think) she's going to fight for him? Not sure.

More recycling of the same old crap between Mariano and Teresa, who seem to have no trouble fighting at the top of their lungs in the middle of a hospital hallway. Don't go with this tipo (guy) to the beach. He says come back to me and be patient and it'll be great. "Castles in the air" she yells. She doesn't believe any of this. He says that they love each other. Blah dee blah. Lather rinse repeat. Both of them have tears in their eyes. Amor amor but what about dinero?

Then dad walks up. Mariano has her by the arm but lets her go when she yells that she doesn't want Mariano. Papa wants to know is there any chance of reconciliation? No way. Then Juana comes up and she cries on Juana's shoulder. Dad says, think about it. Come back home. Forgive your mom. She continues to cry on Juana's shoulder.

There's a brief scene with Lidia (blonde doctor) where she says something about maybe Mariano should consider that Teresa is not for him? But he doesn't seem receptive to this.

Mariano looks at the hospital bill for Refugio. It looks like it's going to be a lot.

Professor Hottie comes home and immediately wants to know where Teresa is. She's gone with a friend to the hospital, her mom is in a bad way, Reina the nice servant says. He wants to know where!

Juana and Teresa are eating at a cafe. Juana wants to know how come Teresa won't come live with her. Teresa explains that she wants to get out of the neighborhood, and besides, mom would never leave her alone. She assures Juana that she knows that she'd never let her down. Teresa then gushes about Professor Hottie's house, and also the planned trip to the beach. She's hoping that the trip can be put off until mom is better.

Juana mentions something about Mariano selling the taxi to help pay the hospital bill. Teresa looks impactada.

Nice doctor is telling Mariano about their plan to have a clinic where they can dispense medicine. There will also be volunteers, including Aurora. Mariano thinks this is great news. Then Mariano asks Nice Doctor if he knows of a place to get a good price on his taxi. He's selling it to pay for Refugio's hospital bill.

Armando walks up to the garage and sees a help wanted sign for head mechanic. Uh oh. He calls Johnny over to explain but before Johnny can say anything, Mean Garage Owner takes great relish in explaining what the sign means, just in case Armando can't read. WHAT A JERK!

It goes from bad to worse for poor Armando. (Click on image to see larger version.)

Luisa and Professor Hottie are at the hospital looking for Teresa, but can't find her. Luisa tells Professor Hottie that that taxi boy (Mariano) was making a scene again. Boy does Professor Hottie look unhappy about that.

More explaining from the Mean Garage Owner, in painful detail, how Armando doesn't have a job. After Mean Garage Owner leaves, Johnny asks Armando what he's gonna do. He doesn't know—his wife is in the hospital and he doesn't have a peso.

Professor Hottie and Luisa ask at the desk about Refugio. They want to make sure that she gets the best care. The desk nurse direct them to Doctor Sanchez Suarez. Uh oh.

When they encounter Doctor Sanchez Suarez, he turns out to be, of course, Taxi Boy. IMPACTADO Professor Hottie! He is astonished. Mariano says it doesn't matter if he's a taxi boy or a doctor, he's not going to allow Professor Hottie to abuse Teresa. Or what? Mariano asks. They get into near blows. This is the second fight that Mariano has gotten into at the hospital. Drama follows him wherever he goes! "Your love for Teresa is blind!" the deluded Professor Hottie proclaims. "She loves me!" Mariano yells, as Teresa and Juana rush in to pry them off each other.

The boys get into it. (Click on image to see larger version)

Teresa and Luisa hustle Professor Hottie out of there, as Juana tries to reason with Mariano, who is under the delusion that Professor Hottie is all bent on seducing an innocent Teresa on their trip to the beach. Juana tries to clue him in that the sister will be there, blah blah, but Mariano is just as deluded as Professor Hottie when it comes to Teresa.

Professor Hottie and Luisa are alarmed at what (they think) Teresa has been putting up with all this time. She spins some B.S. yarn and just says that she's glad she's got them around. Luisa and Professor Hottie look sympathetic.

Rubigote finds Esperanza and shows her a document for divorce from his wife. Esperanza is very skeptical. Rubigote says it'll take time for the divorce to go through. He gives her a cell phone so he can contact her. She only accepts if he is not lying and the divorce is valid. She won't tolerate any more lies. He assures her he's sincere. I don't think he is.

Armando is pleading with loan shark lady for some mercy. Mercy is in short supply with her. She doesn't care if his wife dies, he has 24 hours to cough up the money he owes or she'll go to his place and take anything of value.

Esperanza shows Teresa the divorce papers Bigote gave her. Teresa seems to think they look okay. No telling how long a divorce will take, though.

Luisa sees Mariano at the hospital. She asks him to leave Teresa in peace, and that her brother Professor Hottie is not going to do Teresa any harm. Mariano tells her that she doesn't understand, but Luisa says she does—Teresa doesn't want him in her life and he needs to accept that.

Professor Hottie is at another nurse's desk and is impactado to learn that Refugio's account is settled. The nurse can't find out more details, but Professor Hottie knows who settled the account. He doesn't say it but he's thinking it's Mariano. This displeases Professor Hottie.

I'm a little confused by this. Mariano is talking with the nice doctor and it looks like the account was settled and I'm not sure but I think Mariano thinks that Professor Hottie paid it? Who really did pay it?

Oh, we find out. Aurora's dad paid it! Aurora is telling Teresa this. Teresa is of course very grateful.

Professor Hottie approaches Teresa and she's able to tell him that Aurora's dad paid it all. He's glad it wasn't Mariano. Then he asks her about Mariano being a doctor. Then she says something about it doesn't matter that Mariano is a doctor, that another man had opened her eyes to a new world. She gives Professor Hottie a meaningful look as she says this. As usual he is totally buying into it.

Rubigote accosts Esperanza in the hospital. He plants a big kiss on her just as her dad walks in and asks who is this guy? Impactada looks.

END OF EPISODE!!!!!
