Caray, Caray!

*Last part of the title in reference to Augie and Berta. Everyone else was pleasantly well-behaved tonight.

Feliz Viernes, amigos! I had to drop off the radar this week because la vida real kept getting in the way of my Caray time. Just as well, since it's only made me even more pumped for tonight's episode. Vámonos!

Jero crawls out from under the leaden weight of the latest anvil. He can hardly believe that Marina is pregnant but Nata assures him that Maritata confirmed it herself.

Marina scolds Agustin for gossiping about her personal life to Nata. Augie offers to help Mari get back together with Jero but she wants nothing to do with him (Augie). Just outside the office, a fieldworker flags Ezequiel down because Alfonsina just went into labor. Marina accompanies Zeke to help with the birth.

Gonzo talks Regina into moving into Misery Manor. He hopes that Regi's presence will turn the place into Contentment Casa. Gonzo plans to leave the house to Nata instead of Fina and Regi approves. Honorio and Detective Manriquez interrupt to debrief them on Fina. She's eluded them so far but the feds have a hunch that Fina has stayed close to town so she can keep in contact with Berta. Everyone agrees to stay alert for any signs of Fina.

Augie stews in his office. If he had a mustache, he'd be twirling it right now. He thinks Marina is a fool for not using her baby to steal Jero back. Augie decides that if Mari won't pressure Jero, Augie himself will make sure that this baby tears Nata away from Jero. He flashes back to creepily macking on Nata while she was unconscious. Yuck, spare me.

Nata and Jero sit by the fountain and have a surprisingly civil discussion. Jero vows that he will support his child but he does not want it to interfere in his relationship with Nata. He gives Nata his word that he will not abandon his child the way Nata's father abandoned her. They embrace and process their emotions.

Over at the hacienda, Alfonsina is in heavy labor. Karina coaches her through it while Lazaro watches uncomfortably. He is all too glad for the excuse to run off for the doctor.

Jero promises to Nata that they will work through this new phase of their lives together. Nata admits she didn't bring luggage with her because she thought she would be returning to Mexico that night. Jero kisses Nata and convinces her to send for her stuff so she can stay at the hacienda. He agrees to talk to Marina as soon as possible.

Alfi is having a tough time of it and there's still no sign of the doctor. Lazaro is volun-told to help the nurse deliver the baby. After a few more pushes, a miraculously clean baby girl is born. Felicidades!

We cut away to Adriana and Matias riding a four wheeler in the desert and taking breaks to make out amongst the cacti.

Mariana arrives (just in time to be useless) with Ezequiel in tow. He positively melts while holding his new daughter. Alfonsina decides to name the baby Luz María because she is the light of her parents' lives. Karina and Lazaro are both honored to be Baby Luz's godparents. D'aww.

A be-wigged Fina stands in front of a church while accompanied by ominous music. As though we needed more evidence that she's the devil.

Berta has lunch with Regina and Gonzo. They tell her about the plan to give the Monterrubio Manse to Nata. Berta scoffs that Nata is hardly getting left out since Jero is a millionaire. Gonzo wants Nata to have some independence and piece of mind. Plus, Gonzo and Regi are going to move into the Manse after the wedding. Berta is clearly unhappy at the news about their living conditions but is saved by the ringtone. Nata asks Berta to her send a suitcase and wants Berta to pack the emerald necklace that Augie gave her. Nata wants to return it.

Alone in her room, Berta vows Nata's happiness will be short-lived. She calls Augie to call him an idiot for not separating Nata and Jero sooner. Augie gets all jaw-jutty when Berta tells him that Jero and Nata are getting lovey dovey over at La Bonita.

Adriana and Matias take a boat ride, smooch, stand on the deck, smooch some more, go fishing, smooch again. You get the idea.

Jero visits Alfonsina's room and congratulates Zeke and Alfi. He asks for a moment in private with Marina. She knows what he wants to talk about but Mari can't have that conversation yet. She promises to call.

Nata runs into Karina in town and the two catch up. Later, Jero meets up with Nata to tell her about his (lack of) conversation with Marina. Nata is uneasy and can't stand to lose Jero again. Jero will never let that happen. Augie rattles a fence in anger nearby.

Adriana and Matias's day on the beach hits a bump when their boat breaks down. They have to stay in a bungalow overnight until the boat can be fixed. Adri and Mat curl up near the fireplace, exchange sweet nothings, and let the clothes come off.

Lazaro makes Manuela swear not to tell Kari that Reanimated Man is still walking amongst the living. Manuela tells Laz to stop overprotecting Kari; it will only cause more pain. Let Kari decide for herself! Matilde agrees with Manuela and they threaten to tell Kari if he doesn't. Lazaro says that he should be the only one to tell Kari the truth.

Honorio arrives home with Adriana's birth certificate, which now lists him as her father. She is now legally recognized as his daughter. Both he and Constanza are thrilled but decide to wait to tell Adriana in person.

Carlos is happy hear that Jero is back together with Nata. Though the situation with Marina isn't exactly ideal, Jero is excited about becoming a father.

Alfonsina and Baby Luz are resting comfortably in bed and Zeke steps out for a minute to find Ponchito. Alfi questions Marina about her relationship with Jero and Mari bursts into tears. She tells Kari and Alfi about her pregnancy but asks them not to mention it to anyone.

That night, Nata admits to Jero that it was Augie who told her about Marina, who later confirmed it herself. Jero is sure that Augie told her to try to break them up. Nata doesn't want to believe that Augie is a bad person. She and Jero canoodle on the bed. When Jero steps out to take a shower, Nata prays that everything will go well and that she will have the strength to handle the future.

Avances: Fina and Berta talk over the phone and Augie beats on his chest while shouting "Your place is with me!" (if you missed it, this clip is hysterical).
