Caray, Caray!

Tolentino is giving Isdaora what she believes is an airtight alibi.  As her flashback shows, and as I'm sure we all suspected, she went into the church long enough for him to see her, snuck out the back, killed Alonso and Ximena, and got back to the church before he started setting up for Mass.  And all without smudging her lipstick or creasing her eyeshadow.  Damnit!  Juarez apologizes for the inconvenience.  Isadora asks him to keep investigating, though, since she's so upset that her darling boy was murdered.  Isadora leaves while Rosario continues her very bad spying.

Daniel and Camila get to Dionisio's house, but it looks like he's left already.  No guard dogs either.  Daniel calls the house and asks to talk to him, but whoever answers says he left a while ago.  Camila is disappointed.

Irene happily welcomes Luzma to her home.  Pablo asks her for dinner at the hostel, but she declines, not wanting to break Irene's parents' house rules.  Irene suspects they're fighting, though, and Luzma admits she's pissed at him and thinks he's being selfish.  Irene suggests Luzma give her the whole story while they unpack.

Daniel and Camila come back to La Malquerida, all bummed out, and tell Agustina they're going to have to leave.  Not that they won't keep fighting.  Agustina lets them know that Dio left around lunchtime and said he wouldn't be home until late.  Isadora is also out and won't be back until late.  Agustina wants to realize this doesn't bode well, but her beanie is lined with titanium, so she puts the disturbing though out of her mind.  Camila and Daniel know they're off signing their contract, the bastards!

Dio is flirting with Estevez's secretary when Isadora finally shows up, late.  She complains that she was nearly arrested and then her cell phone battery died.  Dio bitches her out and says Estevez is waiting for them in the board room.

Vivi comes home to see the place all decked out with candles and mood lighting.  "At least you get nookie!" Mr. 5ft crows (I was complaining earlier that nothing was going to happen tonight).  Rafa, complete with a dishtowel apron, wine, and glasses welcomes Vivi home.  They toast to her beauty, their love, and their happiness, but Vivi can't stop thinking about how tonight Daniel and Camila will be packing up to move out of La Malquerida.  Rafa explains that this is also a downer for the audience members, who really enjoy those happy Dan/Cam scenes and so, for tonight, they just need to shut all that out and give the audience a show.  And so they do…for about a second and a half before the commercials.

Estevez flirts with Isadora, then apologizes for bringing up Alonso while she's in mourning.  Mourning, schmourning.  Isadora is here to put the screws to Estevez.  He really doesn't like the idea of giving Dio and Isa 51% of the shares, but Isa threatens to withhold La Malquerida and sell it to another developer if he doesn't play along.  Estevez asks to verify that Isadora is the owner of La Malquerida and when she produces the will and Estevez checks the paperwork he got from Becerra's office, he hands over the contracts.  Isa and Dio gloat and smile at each other as Isa signs.

Camila is mourning having to leave.  La Malquerida is what gave her life meaning again when she was so depressed.  She just can't accept this as closure when it's coming about due to theft.  She wasn't happy about her uncle leaving Daniel the ranch in his will, but at least it was his right to do it.  What's happening now, well that's total BS and Camila is not dealing with it well.  Daniel begs her to be calm.  Camila is furious that everyone's fighting over La Malquerida when they haven't worked on it and they don't love it.  Daniel promises they'll fight.  Camila thanks him for that.  She comes back to how they don't care about raising bulls…they don't care about the bulls…they don't care about their history...they just care about their stupid tourist development and making money!  Camila, sweetheart, I hate to break it to you but, I don't really care about the bulls either.  I care about bad guys getting their comeuppance and lots of nookie and the occasional Cristian de la Fuente hygiene PSA.  I mean, I'm sorry about your ranch and all, but if you and Dan give up on La Malquerida and decide to go open a bakery, I'm still going to tune in.  My continued interest in this show has nothing to do with the bulls.  There you have it.

Back from commercial break and Camila is still pouty.  She can't bear to have all her uncle's dreams and hard work come to nothing.  Daniel promises if somehow they don't get this ranch back, they'll buy their own ranch and raise their own bulls.  "Dude…you're awesome!"  "Naw, I'm just in love with you!"

Isadora and Dionisio toast and THIS IS NOT THE NOOKIE I WAS LOOKING FOR!  Go about your nefarious business minus the tongue.  Move along.  Dio wants to know how she got Juarez to back off and she tells him about her supposed alibi.  Gloating.  Isa asks how long before they can get rid of the bulls.  She figures they've got to kill them off, but Dio knows the animals are worth a lot and there are outstanding contracts.  "If you don't live up to them, you'll get sued.  Talk to Pablo.  You can't fire him or any of the other workers.  You have to keep them while the ranch is still a ranch.  Until the bulls you've contracted to sell are delivered.  Tell Pablo not to make any new contracts, though."  Dio plans to sell the leftover bulls to the other ranchers in the area.  Isa is impressed and Dio brags about how he's a businessman, baby, so of course he picked up on how the business runs.  They suck face.  Gross!

Piedad comes to Agustina's room to tell her everything is ready.  She also brought up Dio's suitcase.  It's locked or Agustina would have opened it.  She tells Piedad to put it with everything else.  Agustina talks about how much she's going to miss the house and her room.  She only moved into the main bedroom for Dio's sake.  She asks Piedad to take care of the house.  Piedad says she will, and she'll also keep praying for a miracle.  Cause even though Isadora may be the legal owner of La Malquerida, Piedad and everyone else who works there will always think of Agustina as the lady of the house.

Bulls.

Camila goes for a last ride.  She asks "the boys" (bulls) what she's going to do in the mornings without them.  She calls to Don Simon to take care of them for her.

Isadora, in some white pseudo riding pants, swans into the dining room at breakfast.  Agustina won't stay and calls Isa a shameless social climber.  Isa slaps the crap out of her, giving Dio the opportunity to come defend Agustina.  Agustina won't keep her mouth shut, calling Isadora a thief who's going to die alone and unloved.  Like Isadora gives a rat's ass about that.  She tells Dio to get her the hell out of there.  Dionisio tells her they'll go, but she doesn't have to be a bitch about it.  Isa reminds him that when she was busy mourning her son, Agustina couldn't wait to kick her out of there.  Dio declares he's the one who can't stand to be there another minute.  Once Augie's back is turned, he and Isa trade a look.  Isa sits down at the head of the table and screeches for Piedad.  Cause she's classy like that.

Rosario is worried that Isadora turned her in to the cops. She's determined to carry out what Alonso asked, starting with the mystery envelope.

Daniel is a little sad that Camila didn't wake him up to go for that last ride, but she really needed to be alone.  She's glad he's there now, though.  Daniel vows to always be in her life.  Piedad knocks on the door and brings them breakfast.  She and Camila have a teary goodbye.  She asks Piedad to assemble the ranch workers so she can say goodbye.  Piedad tells Camila that Luzma has already left and is living with Irene because she thought working for Isadora would be a betrayal of Camila and Daniel.  Camila chuckles at that, but she never really confirms or denies that she would think so.

Rosario finally comes within spitting distance of Osvaldo's office, but she can't bring herself to go in because he might ask her questions she can't answer.  Instead, she scribbles a note on the envelope and slips it under the door.  Yeah, I knew nothing was going to happen today.

Amanda comes in, worried that Natalia will be late to work.  Natalia says she's quitting anyway.  She finally admits it, so Daniel doesn't rat her out.  "I was working for Dionisio Ferrer."  She explains she was doing it to spy.  Amanda doesn't even let her finish her story and screams at her that he's dangerous.  Natalia pouts that it was all worthless anyway because Isadora got her hands on La Malquerida after all.  Amanda makes her swear not to work for him again.  Natalia uses Amanda withholding her father's name as her excuse for not telling her.  She also says "there's something else you need to know, but I'm not going to tell you."  Amanda can't get that info out of her.  Amanda, rather than just telling Natalia the truth, begs God to protect her.

Camila says goodbye to the ranch workers.  Daniel explains that they can't take anyone with them, but they have every right to quit or keep working there, whatever suits them.  Rodolfo explains that most of them will stay because they need work and they love the place.  Camila says they have to take care of themselves.  "Think of yourselves.  We'll be fine."  Rodolfo brought Camila some flowers from the whole gang.  Everyone starts lining up to say their goodbyes.  Rodolfo pulls Daniel aside and offers to keep him informed of the goings-on.  As everyone goes back to work in slow-mo, Daniel hugs Camila.

Juarez's assistant (?) wonders why he didn't question Isadora about Padre Baldy.  Juarez totally thinks she did it, but until he has some proof, he doesn't want her to be on her guard about that.  His secretary brings in the exhumation order for Padre Baldy.

Everything's packed in the truck, but Camila remembers something else she needs to do.  She hands Maja's leash to Agustina and takes Daniel back into the house.  Dio looks on suspiciously as Piedad tells Agustina that she'll always be the boss to them.

Camila wants to take the painting of Don Daniel since she gave it to him.  She remembers blindfolding him and leading him into his office blindfolded to see it.  Don Daniel loves the painting.  Camila explains that her idea was to give him something that really showed him the way she saw him.  Daniel takes the painting down from the wall as Isadora comes in and tells them to leave the painting there.  Cause it's hers, all hers!

Tomorrow: probably another big load of nothing as they continue to tease us about Isadora finally getting busted for something.  As if!
