Caray, Caray!

Leo sneaks into Luzma and Pablo's room at La Malquerida,but has to content himself with sniffing her nightgown…gross!  He figures she's down in the kitchen, but she'll come up soon and he can surprise her.  Another nightgown snogger, this one is!

Rodolfo dreams of Natalia coming into his room to tell him she's been stupid and wishes she could have picked him and had the family she always wanted.  Rodolfo assures her it's not too late for love.  He wakes up before he can kiss her and is disappointed to realize it was only a dream.  He was so sure she was there.  Yet another rude awakening--Eleuterio comes barging in to tell him Augustina is dead.  "We have to hurry.  They're having the funeral here and we have to get things ready."

Piedad is likewise shocked to hear about Augustina.  Hipolito blames it on Dionisio.  Dorotea goes to get some candles.  Piedad says she's going  to Luzma's room, where she had left an image of the Virgen…and one malodorous, murderous sibling.



When she gets into the room and notices him, Leoncio punches her in the mouth and tries to shut her up, but Piedad screams for all she's worth for someone to come help her.

Down in the dining room, where Hipolito and Dorotea are getting the room ready for the funeral, they hear her screams and Hipolito goes running.  With a gun stuck in his belt….

Hipolito sees Leo and Piedad struggling on the bed and pulls Leo off of her, landing a few punches…make that several punches!  It almost looks like Leo might get away, but Hipolito pulls the gun on him.  Rodolfo runs in and begs Hipolito not to get his hands dirty.  Hipolito says he won't stop being who he is.  Eleuterio grabs Leo's arms and tells Dorotea to get some cord.  Piedad runs to Hipolito's side, fueling Leoncio's ire.

Funeral.  Camila is devastated.  Pablo is overwhelmed with everything that's going on--Augustina died, Leoncio was caught, and his dad was in the hospital, all on the same night!  Piedad is glad Leoncio has been caught. Pablo mentions he's in a high-security prison this time and won't ever get out.  Amanda and Osvaldo come to offer their condolences.  Osvaldo supposes that with Leoncio caught, that's one less worry for Camila.

Dante comes up to Daniel to tell him that he tried to see Miriam, but Caridad told him she was asleep.  That it was nothing to worry about, she'd just taken something badly.  Daniel says she was acting strangely, but he hasn't really talked to her. He's still thinking they're going to postpone the trip, have her tested again, and he'll buy himself some time to make sure things in Mexico are settled before he leaves.  Dante brings up Alonso's recording.  Daniel is hoping the recording and what Isa tried to do to Cayetano are enough to put her away.  All that's left is to catch Dionisio.  Daniel is going to go home and talk to Miriam after the funeral, and then contact Estevez.  He hates seeing Camila so sad and not being able to do anything.

Dionisio is seeing all the condolence ads in the paper and he bitches at Augustina for having such rotten timing that once again, she screwed things up for him.  "You ruined my night of love with Camila!"  He says her death won't keep him away from her, though, and he picks up the phone to call Isadora, who (or whose body) is lying in the hotel bed, covered by the comforter, bleeding from the mouth.  She doesn't move or reach for the phone.  Dio decides he can't wait for her, and summons Omar to tell him they're leaving and putting his Plan B into play.  "Listen carefully…."

Mariano tries to comfort Camila and reminds her she can always count on him….which just makes her cry harder.  Ana comes in and just hugs Camila and tells her she loves her.  "I know what it's like to lose your mom."  Camila thanks her.  Rocio and Cayetano offer their sympathies.  Camila scolds Cayetano for not being in the hospital.  "I'm fine. I wanted to be with you and tell you that you can count on me for anything you need.  I heard that Leoncio got into La Malquerida to try to hurt Luz Maria.  But I also know he's in prison again, and soon he'll be forced to write what he did to Isadora."  Camila wants, more than anything, for those who have hurt everyone to pay. Leoncio, Isadora, and Dionisio.  Rocio assures her it will happen.  Camila sobs that Dio has left her with nothing and no one. Pablo hugs her and says he's her cousin and he'll always take care of her.  Awww…Pablo!

Amanda has noticed that Yago isn't with his family.  Cayetano tells her that he wants her and Natalia to know that the Albarran family intends to be there for the baby.  "Including Yago?  Because we want nothing from him."  Cayetano says that he means the rest of the family.  Yago left the house and he has no idea where he is.  He wants Natalia to know that they will confirm that the baby is Yago's when Natalia goes to register the baby, and s/he'll be mentioned prominently in Cayetano's will.  "It's the least we can do.  If Natalia will allow us to, we'd like to have contact with her and the baby." Rocio says they don't want the baby to see them as strangers.  Amanda thanks them and says she'll let Natalia know and see what she decides.  Cayetano apologizes on behalf of the family for Yago's behavior. Pablo echoes his father's sentiments and says he hopes Amanda will consider telling him where Luzma is, so he can tell her that Leoncio has been put away again.  "Please tell me, because I'm going to find out anyway."

The hotel staff walk into Isa's room and find her.  The maid notices her hands are burnt.  The clerk doesn't want to call the cops and get into trouble with them.

Juarez demands that Leoncio write down what he did with Isadora.  "We know that you followed her out of Buenaventura and when they found you at La Malquerida, you had blood on you."  Leo picks up the pencil and scribbles.  Juarez threatens to have him locked up at the punishment cell (solitary?) in the high-security prison until he does.  Leo thought bubbles that Isadora was at a hotel in Metepec and he burned her hands and cut out her tongue.

Padre Anselmo presides over Augustina's burial.  He says he's no one to judge her for what she did, but he can see that her desperation and her love for her daughter are the things that led her to take her life.    He sprinkles holy water on the casket and people start throwing in roses as Camila cries and remembers her mother.  The mourners start drifting away.  Mariano leads Camila away before Daniel drops his rose.  Teresa catches up to Camila to give her Augustina's letter and the medallion she was wearing.  Camila gives it back to Daniel, saying she wants the Virgen to watch over Daniel in Chile.  Daniel and Dante stand by the grave as Camila and Mariano walk away.

Caridad brings Agatha to Miriam in the living room, saying she's already been fed.  Miriam takes the baby and tells Caridad to keep doing what Miriam asked her to do.  The doorbell rings and Caridad thinks it's the store, delivering some té de tila (linden flower tea, good for the nerves).  Miriam calls to her to take the money from her purse.  Two of Dio's goons, I assume, come in brandishing guns and wearing ski masks and knock out both Caridad and Miriam, taking the baby.  Oh, that's it, Dio, you are going down!

Out on a back road somewhere, two guys take Isa's body (?) out of the trunk of a car and dump it in the woods.  She's not dead!  She comes to, sees her hands, starts to scream, realizes she's lost her tongue, and continues screaming.

Daniel walks back to his house, talking to Juarez on the phone.  Sounds like Leo fessed up to what he did to Isadora.  Juarez is sending men out to the hotel to round her up.  Daniel tells Juarez that they need to find Estevez and he can help them accuse Dio and Isadora of fraud.  He breaks off as he sees his front gate and front door are open.  He walks in, still holding the phone, and asks Juarez not to hang up on him.  He rouses Caridad, who tells him to check on Miriam.  As she points across the room, Daniel starts having flashbacks to the day she was shot.  Juarez is yelling through the phone, asking what happened.  Daniel can't rouse Miriam, though he's voluntarily and authentically calling her "mi amor" for the first time since she's come out of the coma, and he yells to Juarez that someone broke into his house and Miriam is unconscious.  Caridad adds that they took the baby.  Juarez tries to ask questions, but neither Caridad nor Daniel know who the guys were.  Daniel tells him to just get an ambulance out there and help him find his daughter.  Juarez says he's on his way.  Daniel begs Miriam to wake up.  "Please, you can't die!"  He feels a pulse and seems reassured.  He asks Caridad to tell him what happened.  She tells him they had their faces covered.  One of them knocked her out, the other one knocked out Miriam, and they took the baby.  Daniel notices the picture of him and Camila at their wedding and Caridad tells him that last night, Miriam found it in the medicine cabinet and found out that Daniel and Camila got married.  And now that she knows that and it didn't kill her, and also now that she's been knocked out, maybe they can FINALLY run those damn tests!

In Camila's cabin, Camila is trying to convince Vivi, Rafa, and Mariano to leave her alone.  Vivi wants to stay with her for a few days, but Camila says it's important for her to get used to her new life.  To the silence and the absences in the house.  Mariano reminds her that, though it's not the same, she has a lot of people who love her.  Rafa takes a call from Daniel and screams "What do you mean, they took her?!"  He gets off the phone and fills them in.  Camila says this is her fault.  "Dionisio warned me.  He told me if something went wrong, if I didn't comply, he'd take revenge on Daniel and on my mom."  Mariano asks her to explain.  Camila says that Daniel confronted him and Dio came over to tell Camila that if she didn't play along, he'd kill Daniel.  She thinks kidnapping his daughter is a way of doing that.  Rafa and Vivi both encourage her to come with them to the hospital and tell Juarez that Dio made that threat.

Amanda tells Teresa and Dante that a child is always a blessing and she's happy they're pregnant.  Osvaldo comes running in to tell them the news about the kidnapping.

Mayalen has just heard about Augustina and come to offer her condolences.  Pablo tells her Camila is in the cabin and he's on his way out.  "I'm going to find Luz Maria.  Now that her uncle is in prison again, I'm going to go tell her, even if I've got to look under every rock to find her!"  Mayalen lets slip that she knew Luzma was leaving.

Aaron asks Luzma how her therapy went. Luzma says she eventually told Brisa everything.  "I didn't want to accept that I was afraid of facing what had happened and that in a way I was denying myself the chance to be happy."  She doesn't think she's gotten over it, but she's feeling hope now.  Aaron tells her that the hope will grow and she'll carry on living.  It's not a job anyone else can do for her.  The work is all hers.  "Don't ever lose that hope.  Nurture it."

Mayalen tells Pablo all about Luzma's plan.  She explains that Luzma loves him so much that she just wants to see him happy.  Pablo apologizes, but he just can't be happy with any other woman than Luzma.  "That's what I told her.  I could tell by the way you looked at her and the way you treated her.  I promised her I wouldn't tell you, but I'm going to break my promise.  I don't know where she is, but I know who she's with and that should make it easier."  Pablo already knows she's with Natalia, but that doesn't help.  "And if I told you she was with Aaron?"

Daniel is sure it was Dio who kidnapped his daughter, since Isadora is out of the game.  Cami, Vivi, Rafa, and Mariano come into the hospital, asking for an update.  They've heard that Isadora isn't a suspect…Daniel tells them what Leoncio did to her.  Daniel is furious that his daughter is paying for everything and he's sure Dio is behind it.  Camila says she can confirm that.

Isadora stumbles down the road.  A cop car catches up to her and they arrest her for the attempted murder of Cayetano.  Isa starts screaming, but the shove her into the back of the car.  I don't think she actually shouts "I hate you all!" but that's probably meant to be what her wordless screams mean.

Daniel goes to the desk to get an update on Miriam, but he's told that she's having tests run and as soon as she's out, someone will come inform him.  Rafa asks Daniel if he's worried that Miriam's aneurism will burst because of what happened to the baby.  Daniel admits that she also found a picture of his and Camila's wedding.  "Say what?!"  Mariano says Miriam must be very delicate right now, between everything that's happened and knowing that they've all lied to her.

Miriam wakes up and a doctor asks if she remembers what happened.  She starts screaming for Daniel and wakes up Caridad, lying in the next bed.  They sedate Miriam.

Dionisio calls Daniel.  Totally casual, like "Hey, man, what's up?  Yeah, your kid's fine."  He just wants La Malquerida and Camila and he'll trade Camila for the baby.  Who, by the way, is just sitting in her little carrier, looking all cute like nothing's wrong.  "You're the one who's crazy if you don't take the deal.  If you don't accept, you'll never see your daughter alive again.  Can you live with your daughter's death on your conscience?"  Daniel threatens to kill him if he hurts Agatha.  Dio says this is just a business deal.  "You have something I want, and I have something you want.  So accept the deal and there won't be any problems."  Dio hangs up on Daniel.  Camila asks what Dio wants.  "If it's me, you can count on me."

Pablo comes running up to Padre Anselmo.  He asks about Aaron, where the community is.  Padre Anselmo knows it's near San Cristobal de las Casas and it's called "Las Nubes" (the clouds).

Camila insists on knowing what Dio wants.  She's had it with people dying and she doesn't even want to think about what's going to happen to Miriam if she doesn't get her daughter back.  Juarez begs Daniel to tell them what Dio wants.  "We can help you, but you have to tell us the truth."  "He doesn't just want La Malquerida!  He wants Camila and that's not negotiable!"  Juarez tells him to trade La Malquerida in exchange for his daughter.  "He's going to be in trouble if he doesn't get the land.  Time's up for him tomorrow, so he'll have to agree to just accepting the ranch."  Daniel says La Malquerida isn't important right now.  He's more concerned with Dio's obsession with Camila.  "I can't let you trade your life for Agatha's.  You're both equally important to me.  If I had to trade my life for hers or yours, I'll do it, but I don't want you to do it."  Juarez understands, but he says they can intervene to keep Dionisio from getting what he wants and they can protect Camila.  Juarez says that the time they gave the ranch to Alonso, they didn't turn him in for extortion.  If they denounce Dionisio, both for extortion and for kidnapping,  then it wouldn't matter if the transfer was done in front of a notary, it would be invalidated by the crime Dio is committing.  Juarez says it's their decision.  Camila is fine with it, but she says she's already made a decision.  "I made the decision for the love I have for my mother and now I'm doing it for the love you have for your daughter and I don't have a problem doing it, I'm serious."  Daniel thanks her, but he says he can't trade her life for his daughters.  "When he calls me again, I'm going to tell him that you're not on the table."   If Dio doesn't agree, he'll figure something out.  Juarez recommends that Daniel put pressure on him and make him see he has nothing left to do but agree to his conditions.  "He has your daughter, but you have La Malquerida.  He knows if he doesn't give her back, he'll end up accused of kidnapping."

Agatha has leaned out of her carrier and Dio scoops her back in.  He coos to her that she's not going to get away from him.  "Your daddy's going to agree.  He's not going to let me hurt you, is he? No, of course not.  Ooh, I never thought something so small could be so valuable.  Thanks to you I'm finally going to have everything I want.  Everything, everything, everything!  My phone?  You want to call your daddy?  Should I call so you can talk to him?"

Tomorrow: El Gran Final!
