Caray, Caray!

OK. We figure life must have gotten in the way of Jules being able to get the recap up, so I am posting this discussion page for those eager to discuss the major events of last night.

Off the top of my head:
-Gina meets Pepa/Fina face to face after over 24 years, in the same park Regina Jr. was stolen from. She ditches her body guards along the way. Pepa/Fina mocks her and basically threatens to kill her daughter if Gina doesn't give her the money and keep her mouth shut. She gives Gina Berta’s ‘R’ necklace as proof of life.
-Soto meets with Matias and tells him he created a super duper secret clause in the marriage contract that will allow Matias to get out of his marriage with Berta, ASAP. Happy, happy, joy, joy. He's still fired though.
-Honorio tells Gonzo about Blanca's call. They inform the cops.
-Chema visits Adri at the office and asks if the reason she is hesitant about him is because of his past involvement with her step-mom and how her dad would feel. Matias secretly listens in as she agrees that is part of the reason. He leaves before she mentions the biggest source of hesitation are her feelings for Matias.
-Nata and Jero reenact their very first meeting by running into, and falling on top of, each other at the bank. She thanks him for convincing the bank to change their mind about the loans to the MRs. She asks why he did it. He fudges and says he did it for her dad and for Matias, to make up for ruining their friendship by falling in love with Nata. They are interrupted before Nata can get the real truth out of him. They stare at each other wistfully.
-At the office, Honorio and Matias inform Nata that the money must have come from Jero's personal account, and NOT the bank. Matias is sure that Jero did it to hold it over their heads. He tries to convince Nata of this.
-Adri thinks Jero gave them the loans because he obviously loves Nata. Nata tries to convince herself that Jero must have had bad intentions, because if she doesn't make herself think badly of him or remember all the bad things he has done to her, she will never stop loving him. Nata calls Jero to confirm the loan came from him personally and not the bank. He doesn't deny it and hangs up on her when she starts insisting on paying him back and questioning his motives.
-Connie sneaks into Fina's office and takes post-it notes with samples of her handwriting. She also takes a photo of her. She is caught by Berta as she is leaving with these docs in a folder. Connie says she came for docs her brother wanted. Berta makes a stink, but can't stop her. Connie later gives the post-its to Jero.
-Berta tells Fina about Connie's visit. They look through the desk, but the only thing she notices is missing is the photo.
-Fina confronts Connie in her home. Connie does not let on about the handwriting/Rafa murder suspicions. But she lets Fina know she took the photo to show Gina to prove she is Pepa-- the woman who stole her daughter, who Connie is sure is Nata.
-Fina smashes a vase against the back of Connie's head, and hits her in the head with a metal statue while she's down. Connie is left looking lifeless in a pool of her blood!

Almost forgot the Wine Country:
-The two couples are happy, happy, and decide on a double wedding.
-I guess Padre doesn't know Alvaro is not dead afterall (I was wrong) because he happily agrees to marry Kari and Laz.
-The stolen mother vine from La Bonita is not doing well. Looks like it has "La Plaga." Augie's vine-sitter is forced to call Cruz de Amor to give the bad news. He gives Zeke a cryptic message to give Augie who is in D.F. and can't leave until he's locked Nata down. Augie tells Zeke to take care of it.
-Zeke finds the vine-sitter, decides the La Bonita super duper Plaga Remedy is the only hope, and tries to find out why this particular shoot is so important. The vine-sitter says he doesn't know, but Zeke is starting to be pretty sure it must be a La Bonita shoot, meaning Augie stole it.
