Caray, Caray!

-Rosa confesses to Padre Honesto that she gave away Claudio and Aurora’s daughter, without consulting Claudio, and now she can’t tell him the truth. Yet, she keeps whining about the guilt she feels. Padre gets majorly frustrated and ticked off at her and tells her she had no right to do what she did. If she won’t come clean to Claudio, well that’s just on her conscience.  He later tells her he can’t help her further and she best see a shrink.

-Rosa tells the Padre that she knows the baby was not Claudio’s, and that’s one reason why she can’t bring herself to tell him the whole truth about the child. She admits to the Padre that the only other people who know what she did with the baby are Connie and Mati.

-After finding Hannah, Melissa, and Luci in the library with Lorenzo, who’s using the phone to call his new boss at Inferno, Rosa blows her stack and majorly reams Luci out for letting her insignificant relatives into the house. Hannah and Melissa are absolutely shocked. The only other time Hannah has seen her mother act this way was the first day Luci came into the house. The two girls tell Pato what happened. He’s just as flabbergasted and perplexed by his mother’s behavior towards Luci.

-Luci wonders why the heck Rosa hates her so much.

-Rosa meets with Connie and asks for her help in finding the little girl. To do that, she needs to find the gardeners, Galdino and Paz!

-Back at Casa Torreslanda, Pato is asking Luci if she finished high school/secondary school. She just had one exam to go, but then her dad died and all this other bad stuff happened, so she didn’t get to take it. Pato offers to help her register for and take the exam. Then he asks her to tell him more about her mother and father. Mati has come into Pato's room with fresh towels. She drops the towels and nearly faints when she hears Luci say her parents are Paz and Galdino Jacinto Flores. Mati immediately knows that Luci is the daughter of Claudio and Aurora Linares!

-Luci helps Mati to her room, and Mati pumps Luci for more information about her parents and childhood. She seems especially concerned about whether Luci had a happy childhood. Luci only has good things to say about her parents. She tells Mati about her father's dying words/wish, for Luci to find Rosa Torres...

Everyone’s Talking About and Visiting El Inferno

-Aldo is keen to go see Lorenzo and hang out at El Inferno, which is one of the hot clubs at the moment. Hannah wants to go too, which causes Rosa to have a fit and yell at everyone. Max takes Aldo aside privately to warn him not to go to a place like that or to take Hannah there. I’m sure every Torreslanda and relative will have hung out at Inferno by the end of this tn.

-Lorenzo gets a job at Inferno.

-Don Aquiles shows up at El Inferno, totally by coincidence, and does not understand the concept of valet (he thinks the guy is saying ballet) parking.

-Lastra and Ivan can tell from a mile away that Aquiles is a hick from the sticks with lots of money. They want to relieve him of that money, so they serve him the best and most expensive mezcal, introduce him to the private salon in the back with the gambling, Lastra exchanges cards with him and invites him back whenever he is next in D.F. , and they get their best girl, Coral/Violeta to serve him. He doesn’t recognize Violeta, but appreciates her assets, but she recognizes him.

-Another regular customer is totally crushing on Violeta. He wants to walk her home, but she tells him Polo’s already got that job. She clarifies that Polo is not her boyfriend (poor guy) and she seems to like the customer too. She is not freaked out at all the next day when he just shows up at her apartment building. Stalker!

-Seeing how much she attracts customers, Lastra wants Violeta to start working in the private salon. Seems he’s thinking that she may be willing to offer more than drinks and snacks to the customers. She tells him her only *other* talent is singing. He agrees to try her out as a singer in the private salon.

Emperor Max of Empresas Torreslanda
-Although everyone else, including Pato, and especially Rod, want to invest in the new business venture, Max puts his foot down and refuses to agree. Rod is pissed and wonders why Max has no faith in him. He's sure he must have even trusted his first business partner more, who cheated him. Oscar wonders if perhaps that's why Max has such a hard time trusting others.
-Oscar reports back to Max on Linares, who's determined to clear his name. Oscar doesn't see the harm. Since he's guilty he won't be able to prove his innocence. He's guilty, right? Max assures Oscar of Claudio's guilt and he wants him to stay on the case. Oscar confides in Connie about his unease over this whole Linares matter.
-Looks like Max may have some competition for Vicky's heart in the form of that lazy, walking disaster, Aldo. Aldo drops by the beauty salon to score some money off of Connie, and takes the opportunity to flirt with Vicky. He makes her smile. 

Het Het

-Fabian tells Magda and Paz that Ariche is so depressed about Luci being gone that he’s even stopped putting an effort into his school work. Fabian brings him around to Magda’s so that she and Paz can love him up. He just wants to know if Luci is coming back.

-Magda and Paz call Lorenzo and tell him Don Aquiles is in the city looking for them. They all need to be alert and careful.

-Paz finally asks Magda why she seems to know so darned much about Don Aquiles. She admits that she was once involved with him, when she was young and foolish, but then she realized what kind of man he is.

-Don Aquiles gets a flat tire on his way back to Chihuahua. A perfect end to his unsuccessful trip to the big city.

Love Quadrangle 1: Lalu-Boris-Hannah-Lorenzo

-Boris is blowing up Hannah’s phone night and day trying to convince her to give him a chance.

-Both Lalu and Boris want to drop out of their school group project- Lalu because she can’t bear to be near Boris if she can’t have him; Boris because he can’t bear to be near Hannah if he can’t have her.

-After he gets run over by a pizza delivery bike on his way out of Casa Torreslanda (he was warning Luci about Aquiles), Lorenzo gets rescued by Hannah and Melissa. Lorenzo and Hannah are hit by the love bug, big time. The girls bring him inside to tend to his bumps and scrapes, and H & L can’t take their eyes off each other. Too bad Rosa would lock Hannah up in a convent before she’d let her get involved with a poor, uneducated guy like Lorenzo, and especially since he’s the brother of her favorite punching bag, Luci.

Love Quadrangle 2: Pato-Luci-Rod-Gala

-Rod tells Gala that he can’t marry her because he realizes that he doesn’t really know her. For example, he never knew she was such a cruel person. When she presses for details, he keeps mum about what he learned about her war against Luci. Gala points out that he’s the one cancelling the wedding for no reason, and yet he’s calling HER cruel.

-Gala proceeds to yell in anger, whine, cry, beg on her knees, and then threatens to take her own life. Rod can only beg her not to do anything crazy and tells her they will talk the next day when they are both calm.

-Julie admits to a surprised Gala that they are in debt, and she had to take a loan out on their NYC apartment, so Gala better do something to get Mr. Torre$$landa back and down the aisle.

-Rod goes home and tells Pato that he doesn’t want to marry Gala. Pato, being the most intelligent character in this tn, asks Rod if he had the guts to tell Gala he can’t marry her because he’s in love with Luciana? Rod is shocked that Pato knows, but Pato says it’s obvious. He asks Rod if he’s spoken with Luci, and is not surprised that she wants Rod to leave her alone.  Pato understands that Luci doesn’t want to suffer, and warns Rod not to hurt her.

-Since he can’t fight his feelings for Luci, Rod decides to move back to his apartment permanently, that night. When he gets there, and has taken off his shirt in preparation for bed (thank you director/writers), Gala, wearing nothing but a fur coat and her highest, black do-me heels, jumps his bones. He does not resist. Well, he *does* weakly beg her to not do this to him.

-The next morning, Gala is still playing seductress. She must be really good, because Rod has been completely subdued back into a cooperative bridegroom. Gala glosses over her Luci antics by pointing out that Rod wouldn’t have be pleased had she been flirting with some guy, like he has been with Luci. Rod doesn’t deny this. Looks like the wedding is on again.

-Later Rod feeds Pato dinner and Pato tells him what happened that day when Rosa bit Luci’s head off about her brother. Rod wants to see her and comfort her, but he’s keeping his promise about keeping his distance. Well Pato wants to see her too, and nothing would happen if they are both there.

-Luci hears a knock on her door late that evening. She is shocked to find Rod at her door, holding Pato in his strong, manly arms.

Avances: Mati believes that it’s God’s will that Claudio and Aurora’s child, Luci, was brought back to them. She asks Rosa, “What would you do if the child showed up here?” Gala gets ready for the big day, but overhears Rod say that he does not want to get married.
