Caray, Caray!

Pablo hangs out at the hospital in Zacatecas.  He decides to try calling Luzma at La Malquerida.  She answers the phone, and he makes like Stevie Wonder…"I just called to say I love you!"  Luzma is glad he's far away.  Pablo says he misses her, but Luzma lies and says she wants nothing more to do with him.  Pablo's not buying it, but Luzma insists she's already over him.  She hangs up the phone on a hurt, confused Pablo.

Dio gets into his marital bedroom and snaps at Agustina not to ask him questions, damnit!  He wants some alone time, but Agustina wants to talk.  She says it's best he hear this ASAP, "Camila doesn’t want us to live here.  She'd rather we live at your place and you're not going to have a say in anything to do with the house or the ranch."  Dio asks what she wants and Augie wants to stay, but she doesn't want Cam being rude to Dio.  He tells her not to worry about him.  They'll stay because she wants to.  "Don't worry about Camila either.  I'll gain her affection, acceptance, and trust little by little."  Augie wants him to read in bed, but Dio would rather read elsewhere and menacingly asks her if that's clear.  Yeah, Augie, is it at all clear what kind of jackass you married?

Camila is sad that they're stuck with Dionisio.  She tells D'Andres that Osvaldo the lawyer is also worried about Dio and wants to talk to Camila about it in person.  D'Andres tells her to remain calm until she talks to Osvaldo.  Camila wishes that Daniel would show up already so she could just hand over the ranch to him and she and D'Andres could get the hell out of there.  That's going to be difficult.  Their impending nookie is interrupted by Isadora's entrance.



Ximena ponders how she can most effectively cast Camila as the "bad" sister in their mom's eyes.  Then she wonders if it might not be better to bust Cam and D'An together and promise to keep her mouth shut so Cam will think Xim is her ally.  She chooses option "B"…that's B for self-interested bitch.

D'Andres pretends he was just taking his leave and Camila neutrally tells him she doesn't need anything else.  Isadora hints it's inappropriate to attend to her employees in her pajamas.  Cam shuts her down, so Isa moves on to saying she can't believe what Alonso dared to try.  "A mother is always responsible for what her children do.  I'm worried about him."  Isa says she thinks he needs psychiatric help.  Cam agrees, but says that's his decision.  Isadora wants Camila to convince him to do it, but Camila says that's no longer in her job description.  Isadora wants Cam to give Alonso more time before they finalize the divorce because she's afraid he might deteriorate when it's final.  Isadora plays the "Oh, is it that you've moved on to a new guy already?"  Camila says that's none of her damn business and self-righteously stomps off to her room, hurting herself in the process.  Isadora finds an envelope on Cam's desk and stuffs it in her purse before she leaves.

Isadora sees D'Andres lurking outside.  She tells him she knows that he and Cam have something going on.  "I'm glad you realize Camila isn't alone."  He tells her not to mess with him.  "You were seen getting in your car on the day of Camila's accident.  You were also seen near the hostel when Padre Baldy died."  Isadora plays it cool, asking him what business it is of his.  D'Andres says he's just a chauffeur, but perhaps it's best they got along with each other.  Isadora doesn’t answer and oozes away.

Dionisio hangs out at the ranch, pondering the cows and how close he is to getting his hands on the ranch and becoming the owner of the new tourist development.  All that's left is to get his grubby hands on Camila.

Aaron makes it to the hostel unnoticed and checks in with Amanda.  She insists on feeding him breakfast.  D'Andres won't be by until later.  Aaron says he'd like to go straight to bed, cause he was resolving things back in Chiapas until late and didn't get any sleep.

D'Andres and Rafa wait on the DNA test results.  Rafa and Vivi realized that Vivi is being followed now, so she stayed home. Per the DNA test, D'Andres and Camila aren't related.  Score!  Rafael wants D'Andres to hold on to the results in case he needs to show them to Camila later.  They head over to Amanda's to talk to Aaron.

Camila finishes covering up her bruise as she walks into her living room/office.  D'Andres has left her lilies.  Her divorce papers, however, are missing.  She realizes Isadora must have taken them.

At breakfast Agustina is continually displeasing her new husband. Let me explain…no, wait, there is too much, let me sum up…I suspect Dionisio is being deliberately picky so that Augie can keep screwing up so he can keep snapping at her and put her in her place and/or find out how much crap she'll take from him.  He wants his coffee AFTER the meal, not before…and he's in the middle of eating his fruit, damnit, so he doesn't want his eggs NOW, he'll ask for his eggs when he's READY for them!  Ximena is witness to this.  She ponders what the land could be if it wasn't a ranch.  "But if it wasn't going to be a ranch, what would you do with it?"  Augie says she doesn't know.  Maybe she'd split it up…use different areas for different things.  Ximena suggests...maybe a tourist development?  Augie remembers Don Daniel getting that kind of proposal.  Dio confirms that he did, but says he doesn't know why Don D didn't accept.

Isadora breaks it to Alonso that D'Andres appears to know about their involvement in Padre Baldy's death.  She's starting to suspect there's more to him than meets the eye. He doesn't act like any of the other ranch hands and he's sure not "just" a chauffeur.  She suspects him of being a spy sent by Daniel.  "He's watching us all.  And he could turn into a dangerous enemy."  She doesn't think now is the time to get rid of him, though.  "Don't forget that Camila is in love with him."

Back at the breakfast table, Ximena says that if she owned the ranch, she'd sell it to a developer…"It's ideally situated to be a tourist area."  Dionisio agrees with her.  Augie tells them both not to breathe a word of that to Camila, who can't imagine anything there but a ranch and would be horrified at the thought.  "If ranches like this one shut down, those bulls are in danger of extinction."  Ximena's, like, "Whatever.  So what if they're from Lidia…boooring!"  I looked it up and couldn't find anything suggesting they'd be extinct.  However, although they're wild, what that means in this day and age is that they're raised on big-ass ranches like La Malquerida where the land is set aside for them to run wild, so perhaps if all the big-ass ranches go belly up the bulls would have nowhere to go.  Oh, and Ximena, they're not "Toros de Lidia" as in "Bulls from a land called Lidia" they're "bulls for FIGHTING"…"lidia" is a noun meaning "bullfighting"..."lidia" from the verb lidiar--to fight, to struggle.    Sorry if someone else pointed this out earlier, I just really felt the need to verbally smack Ximena.  I pondered whether she also could have been saying "so what if they're fighting bulls" but Mr. 5ft concurs that, no,  she's just an airhead.  Dio changes the topic of conversation, asking where Camila is, but Ximena says you never know with her…she's so unpredictable.

Isadora figures that D'Andres must be really close to Daniel.  Alonso wonders if Dio hasn't figured this out yet.  Isadora says they'll have to work on him for a while and get him on their side.  Alonso thinks that's preposterous, but Isa tells him to shove his ego aside.  Isa isn't sure if she'll tell Dio.  "Knowledge is power."  And she wants the power.  Dio's been excluding them from his plans, so she's not sure if she wants to tell him.  She gives Alonso the divorce papers and begs for a hug.  Creeeeepy.  Their faces were a little too close together, there.

Ximena wanders out looking for Camila.  Rodolfo doesn't know where she is, but he knows she left alone.  "Strange.  Doesn't she always go with Andres?"  Rodolfo agrees Camila gets along well with Andres, but he says she gets along well with everybody.  Ximena demands a tour of the ranch…in the truck, of course…and Rodolfo agrees.  Ximena looks around, thinking all this must be worth a fortune and she's sure "the chauffeur" realizes it.

Amanda shows D'Andres his supposed dad. He's only seen the younger version in a picture, but he's sure this is his biological dad since he's not related to Camila.  He's not sure how he feels about it…he can't understand how having a biological link doesn't lead to an emotional one.  He has no desire to hug the guy or anything.  Amanda agrees that parenting is about the relationship, not the biology.  She wonders if he would recognize D'Andres.  He doesn't think so.  D'Andres says he's going to do a "test."

Camila shows up to yell at Alonso and Isadora for stealing the divorce papers.  Alonso tells her he changed his mind cause he knows she's sleeping with the driver, spy, whatever he is.  He calls her a slut and earns himself a smack.  Of course, he has no backup for anything he's saying and Camila taunts him about that, telling him if he's going to run his mouth he'd better be able to back it up.  Alonso physically throws her out of the house, saying they're going to fight this divorce out.

D'Andres and Amanda go into the dining room.  They make a show of D'Andres asking if she's still serving breakfast and lamenting that his usual table is occupied.  His dad gets up and says he was just leaving anyway, so no problem.  He may have noticed that D'Andres was giving him a funny look, but there is no llamada de la sangre.  He leaves and D'Andres rather sadly tells Amanda that he doesn't think the guy even realized he was face to face with someone who carries his blood.

Vivi gets back to her house and asks Rafa about the DNA test.  She's thrilled that D'An and Cam aren't related.  Rafa has pretty much figured that he has no chance with Camila, so he's getting over it.  Vivi tells him one day his love will come along.  Rafa tells her that Dionisio married Agustina in Las Vegas.

Dio gets a call from his spy to tell him that Vivi and Rafa are both home now.  Agustina brings him a coffee, but he says he has to go.  "I'm a busy man, so get used to it!"  He chugs his coffee and then complains that he likes "café" not "ca-fue" (a play on words, either meaning "fue" as in "was" or "fue" as in "went"…so he likes coffee, not "it WAS coffee" or "the coffee has left the building"). Come on Augie!  Grow a spine!

Amanda tells D'Andres that Aaron is resting.  He decides not to bother him right now.  He tells her that Osvaldo wanted to talk to Camila about Dionisio and wonders how much Osvaldo knows.  She says Osvaldo knows all about Dio/Hector.  D'Andres asks her for a favor….

Ana's on her way out of the hospital.  Pablo is glad that Mariano is finally breaking the promise he made to his late wife and bringing Ana home with them.  He doesn’t think he could bear to let anyone else raise his child.  Grandma Ruth is teary.  Other grandma is practically gloating, though she says Ruth can come visit anytime she wants to.  Ana is a too-old-for-her age non-cutesy chill kind of moppet, thanking her grandma for not being mad at her for wanting to live with her dad.  I may end up liking her.  Especially if she plays practical jokes on Ileana.  I can dream.

Piedad is glad that Luzma decided to have the baby…"even if you are giving it up for adoption."  Uh oh.  She asks Luzma to go back to school now, before the baby comes.  "I don't think they'll want a pregnant girl in school.  I'll go back after the baby is born."  "Oh, ok…but what if you change your mind and decide to keep the baby?  I mean, it's going to be pretty hard to study while taking care of a baby."  Luzma declares in no uncertain terms that she is NOT keeping the baby.  "I'm having it because I don't think I'm anyone to take someone else's life away, but I DON’T WANT IT!"  Yeah, Piedad.  Please don't make me dislike you.

Yago tells Ileana that Mariano et al, are on their way back.  Natalia comes into the office and Yago sends Ileana to tell his dad that Mariano's on his way back.  Once she's gone, Natalia says she agrees to keep going out with him in secret.  They make plans to go into the city on Saturday.  Ay, Natalia.

Isadora summoned BioDad (I'll get his name eventually) to have him confirm that Aaron is really Daniel.  Yeah, you read that right.  "What?  I thought you said you knew who my son was."  "Well, I do, but it never hurts to confirm.  So is this your son, or not?"  She shows him the picture of Aaron and DumbassBioDad says yep, that's his boy all right, he's sure of it.  Isadora seems satisfied with his answer.

Camila paces angrily around her lawyer's office, complaining that it's not fair!  She's sick of Alonso and his mother!  She admits to the lawyer that yes, she's seeing someone, but so what?  Alonso can't hold that over her head.  The lawyer says that for him to do anything with that knowledge, he'd actually have to catch her in the act.  However, if he did that, it would be grounds for a divorce, which he appears not to want, so….  "Well, I sure as hell want one!  I totally understand the saying now that you marry someone you know and end up getting divorced from a complete stranger!"  The lawyer says, "Well, perhaps you can also become a complete stranger to Mr. Lazcano and do exactly what he would least expect from you.  Is there a medical and irrefutable way to prove that Mr. Lazcano was impotent when you married him?"  Camila remembers that it must be in the hospital records.  The lawyer says if she presents the evidence, he'll need to divorce her as soon as possible.  Camila rushes off for the hospital.

Ximena visits Alonso.  He whines like he's getting sick of her.  Ximena says she's sure now that Alonso only married her sister for money.  She knows he and Dionisio are trying to get the land and turn it into a tourist development.  Well, their secret is safe with her …for a price.  She wants a share of the profits and she wants to make her relationship with Alonso "official."  Dude, I don't even like you and I want to tell you to run screaming from this spandex addict!

Vivi's doorbell rings.  Dionisio has come to pay a visit.  "I was surprised to find out that Daniel Diaz Acosta had been here and that you two were hiding him and laughing behind Camila's and all of our backs."

Osvaldo welcomes Amanda to his office.  She says she needs his word as a friend that he won't take any steps that would harm…well, she needs him to trust in someone she vouches for.  She lets D'Andres into the office and D'Andres tells him that he's really Daniel and needs his help keeping him and the Monterde family out of danger.

Tomorrow: Dionisio threatens Daniel through Vivi; Daniel asks to be the one to tell Camila the truth.
