Caray, Caray!

Agustina comes to see Camila, thinking she's concerned about Andres having escaped from the hospital.  Camila fakes like she doesn't care.  Augie thinks after what Leo did, Andres won't want anything more to do with the ranch.  She's crowing over how her superawesome husband helped capture that terrible Leoncio!  Yeah, yeah, Cam heard it from the cops.  Agustina says she doesn't justify what Leo did to Luzma or to Andres, but Andres was getting to big for his britches and it was only a matter of time before Leo wanted to put him in his place.  She smarms on and on about how Camila had this coming-- taking on a lover while she was still married, and him being a nobody who was probably just looking for a good time and wanting to see what it was like to have an affair with the boss lady.  Camila screams at her that she loved Andres, damnit, and her marriage was only ever on paper, and hey, how about that--her ex is now shacked up with her sister, but it's cool, cause the dumbass finally signed the divorce papers--and it's not like she wanted to have her mother's story, to have Luis die on her and Alonso cheat on her, and now Andres has disappointed her…well, like Dionisio is disappointing Augie, right?  Agustina denies that he is.  "Oh, right, so you're saying he's still the same guy you fell for?"  Augie is adamant that he is.  Camila finally tells her to get out, but Augie has one last barb to throw…"Andres doesn't deserve you, so be thankful he left!  And now I'll go.  Call me if you need anything."  Pobre de Camila.  And pobre de mi!  I was waiting for all that yelling and screaming to wind down so I could summarize it…sheesh!  It was the never-ending tirade!

Augie reports back to Dio that Andres hasn't gotten in contact with Camila.  Dio supposes Cam must be feeling humiliated by that chauffeur.  Agustina says he deceived them all.  "You'll never betray me, will you, my love?"  Dio pours on the smarm so he can make faces behind her back.

Luzma brings Camila some dinner.  She says she knows it's not a good time, but she needs to tell Camila something, since Camila's so upset about being lied to.  She tells her that the guy whose body was found, Julian, was her uncle.  She overheard her mother and Leo talking about it and says that Leo told her mother not to tell anyone that the dead guy was her ex-boyfriend's brother or they would suspect her.  "But I think my uncle Leoncio killed him."  Camila says that Luzma and Piedad need to go tell the cops what they know tomorrow.  She doesn't think Piedad will end up being arrested and she plans to go with them in any case.

Alonso is getting dressed to go out…at night…. Xime's not happy about this.  And not happy that he won't tell her where he's going and what for.  Aww, isn't that sweet…they're already fighting over how Xime's trying to be "controlling" and Alonso's keeping things from her.

Augie is having dinner with Francisco.  He picks on her because Dionisio isn't having dinner with them.  He reminds her that he never neglected her.  In fact, they got along quite well in bed.  Ew!  Gross, dude, I don't want to think about either one of you doing the deed, much less the two of you doing it with each other!  She tells him to shut it, but he says that if she wants to keep living there, in his son's house, she'll have to put up with his "impertinence."  I pray that impertinence stays verbal.  She storms off and he tells the empty dinner table that she always used to be the one with the money, but now, now he is the lord and master of all he surveys and everyone will bow to him and blah, blah, blah, I'm so delusional, pass the tortillas.

Dionisio comes face to face with Fake!Andres.  Aaron shakes his hand and holds on as he says it's about time they saw each other face to face and told each other the truth.  Dio claims he's going to spill ALL the frijoles and prove it was Alonso and Isadora who set everything up, included the murder attempt in Chile.

Salomon and Alonso meet in the airport bar.  Salomon says he was Alonso's dad's lawyer and knows all his secrets. "You're the son of your dad and the maid."  No, he's not that direct.  Which is why Alonso at first thinks Salomon is talking about him having a half-brother.  Salomon says that Isadora was pretty much sold to his father and forced to adopt him as a son.  "She hates you as much as she hated your father.  I don't have any proof, but I think she killed him."  Alonso's all hot under the collar and has to strip down to his shirtsleeves…the horrors!  He thinks Salomon has some ulterior motive, but Salomon just wants to clear his conscience before he flees the country--and that's Isadora's fault, by the way.  "She made me make a false will under your wife's name, then she made me draw up a power of attorney so some dude could claim another dude's inheritance, even though that's not legal."   Alonso is baffled that Salomon would do something that could get him into so much trouble.  "Your mom had me by the balls.  She knew that I fake-witnessed her signature on your birth certificate because your dad gave me a bunch of money.  So she didn't 'ask' me to do it so much as she MADE me.  And then Becerra got hold of it and that guy is implacable, so now I've gotta leave the country."  Salomon says that if Alonso doesn't believe him, he can always get Isa to submit to a medical exam to prove she's never had a child…or he could do a DNA test…or he could just trust that gut instinct that tells him that she's never loved him.

Dio is checking out Vivi's to make sure they're alone there.  Team Good is recording the conversation, though.  Aaron wants to know why Dio is so interested in La Malquerida.  Dio says he's been interested in buying it as a tourist development, but Don Daniel refused to sell it.  Aaron accuses him of trying to get it using other tactics.  Dio says he looked for another ranch, but he got a call from Alonso, who told him that he was marrying Camila and that they both wanted to sell the ranch, which Don Daniel had bestowed upon them while he was still living.  Aaron explodes that that's bull!  Camila never wanted to sell the ranch.  Dio admits he knows that now, but he didn't know it at the time.  Alonso swore him to secrecy so that Don Daniel wouldn't find out.  Aaron accuses "them" of trying to have him killed when they found out that Camila wasn't the heir, but Dio swears it wasn't "them" it was just Alonso.  Let's see how far he can take the "Alonso did it" defense.

Salomon explains that he thinks Isadora killed her husband because she hated him for sticking her with a kid and then running around behind her back, screwing anything that held still long enough and wasting all his money.  He points out the coincidence that he died just after Isadora found out the money was all gone and just when she happened to have given all the staff the night off.  And there are a lot of untraceable ways to trigger a heart attack.  "Plus, I asked her once if she did it and she just gave me that cooooold look…you know the one."  Alonso does, indeed, and starts nibbling on his nails to prove it.  "I really am sorry, Alonso, but I couldn't keep quiet about your birth and your father's death.  And now I've got a plane to catch."  Alonso asks for his mother's real name "Rosario Sanchez.  Some people called her Chayo or Chayito.  No one's heard from her since your father ripped you from her arms."

Aaron calls BS on Dio.  "Quit making it sound like you're such a saint!  I'm not an idiot!"  Dio says he was only going to be involved after the completion of the project, when it came time to sell the development, not during the building phase.  "Why would I have wanted to kill you?  I have a copy of the contract.  The only signature there is Alonso's.  If he didn't deliver the ranch or pay the fine, he'd be the one going to jail.  He's the only one with something to lose."  Aaron keeps pressing him.  "Why was it one of your guys who came to try to kill me in Chile?  Who killed my wife and child?  Cause I know Julian's your trusted hand."  Dio swears Julian did it behind his back and he only found out later.  He says that he even went to try to see Daniel in prison, at Camila's request, and ended up talking to his brother-in-law Abraham.  "I was there the night you broke out."  Aaron says the rest of it may all be true, but there is one thing he can't deny.  "You gave Andres orders to shoot me on sight.  So you, Alonso, and Isadora are all the same to me--a trio of killers!"

Isadora peruses a book with info about Buenaventura (which I still want to translate as "a Fun Roll in the Hay" despite the book spelling it this way) and Cayetano.  She figures he's about the age Alonso's dad would have been, so why not sacrifice herself.  She remembers him smiling at her and says "Oh, yeah, he wanted to tap that!"

Dio says the same thing happened to him.  He was tricked.  "But that's why I'm talking to you now.  I thought you were a killer and I needed to defend the woman I loved and her family."  Dio says once Julian was dead, Alonso's story started to fall apart.  Aaron brings up the death certificate and says the death certificate was mailed to him, so he handed it over, but he found out Alonso and Julian faked it.  He swears he didn't know what Alonso and Isadora were planning.  He claims that if his conscience wasn't clear, he wouldn't be able to face him like this.  "I want justice, just like you do.  What can I do to make sure Alonso and Isadora pay for what they've done to you?"

Alonso is in shock, sitting at the bar.  He orders a bottle, which the waiter tries to deny him, as they only serve by the glass, but Alonso bullies him into it.

Aaron tells Dio he has to think and he'll get in touch with him when he's made a decision.  Dio swears he won't find any evidence against him because they're both innocent.  Before he leaves, he brings up the power of attorney.  "I needed to buy time and test alliances.  Isadora and Alonso contacted him behind your back, didn't they?"  Dio says it's more proof of his innocence.  He offers Aaron the advice not to trust his "father"--assuming Francisco really is his father.  Aaron says Don Daniel was under the impression that he was the true BioDad, so that remains to be seen.  Dio takes his leave, finally, and Aaron snatches up the mini-recorder and calls Rafael.

Daniel, feverish, is moaning Camila's name in his sleep.  She goes to get some more antibiotics as he continues to mumble, "Miriam, don't die," and "Camila, stay with me."  Camila injects him and says this would be easier if she didn't love him so much.  She remembers meeting him at the café, seeing him in front of Vivi's.  She thinks he'd planned all that.  "How'd you fake your kisses, cause they sure tasted real to me!  Who are you!"  She remembers kissing him in the rain, shagging him in her bed….  She sits next to him on the bed and says "If you'd wanted to tell me the truth, you would have insisted on doing it."  She kisses him on the forehead and says she loves him, but she just can't deal with this life.

Pablo and Mariano come into the kitchen at La Malquerida.  Pablo gets a big hug from Luzma.  Mariano tells her to start calling him "Mariano" since she's practically his sister-in-law.  He wants to leave them alone and go see Camila, but Luzma says that Camila went to bed early.  Mariano says he'll go home, then, and tells Pablo to call him when he wants to be picked up.  "And be thinking about where you want to have your honeymoon, cause it's on me!"  Pablo and Luzma snog.  She admits she's not sorry about what happened to her uncle.  Pablo wants to focus on the two of them and set a wedding date already.  Luzma says she's been "his" since the first time she kissed him.

Alonso continues to work on cultivating a drunken stupor as he ruminates on Salomon's words.  He remembers a young Isadora telling the maid to serve Alonso the same soup every day from now on after he told her he didn't like it.  She screams at him to finish it.  He remembers her yelling at him that boys don't cry and he should stop missing his father because his father is dead.  She pushes him away to keep him from hugging her.  He remembers losing a race at school and having her tell him he's a loser and he always will be.  He toasts Isadora "The best actress and mother in Mexico" and laughs manically.

Rafael and Vivi listen to the recording.  Vivi laughs at how easily Dio washes his hands of everything.  Aaron agrees, but Dio has an answer for everything.  "Of course I didn't believe him, but there's no proof!"  Rafa wondered why, if he was willing to turn in Alonso, he didn't also rat out Isadora for Padre Baldy's murder or for Camila's little "accident" with the bull.  Vivi thinks they need to take the recording to Daniel and see what he makes of it.  Aaron thinks that even though Cam is hurting, she's a good person and she'll help them.  Vivi and Rafa look doubtful.

Camila crawls into bed with Daniel, but pulls herself away and camps out on her divan instead.

Daniel wakes up to see Camila sleeping on the divan.  He tells her she's pretty when she wakes up.  "You had a fever."  "Yeah, but you took care of me.  It was my fault you slept badly."  Camila says his fever is gone.  Daniel gets out of bed to go to the bathroom, but he's a little conveniently dizzy.  Camila grumpily starts walking him to the bathroom, resisting his attempts to smooch her.

Camila brings in supplies to change Daniel's bandages.  Daniel tells her he knows she loves him, even though she's pissed off right now.  Camila says she's only taking care of him the way she would anyone else.  "I'm not 'just anybody'.  I explained it all to you!  What would you have done in my shoes?  I know I did things I shouldn't have."  He brings up their previous shagging and says he luuuuurves her, his luuuuurve is real, they belong together, they have a soul connection.  He dares her to love him the way he loves her.  Camila tries to ignore him and start changing his bandages.  Daniel stops her and says he won't leave her until she accepts that they're connected.  "Don't fight it!"  He begs her for the opportunity to live their love…but will they snog?

Tomorrow: Daniel wants to drive a wedge between Alonso and Isadora; Alonso thinks he can't be free until (mumble, mumble, mumble); Dio tells Isadora she has to choose between him and Alonso; Daniel wants to keep fighting for Camila's luuuuuuurve.
