Caray, Caray!

Macario, Dominga and Rosario sit down for a chit chat. Macario tells Dominga that Rosario delivered a well deserved slap to Graceless which Dominga practically applauds. It was about time someone put Graceless in her place. Rosario is worried about what Graceless could do to her baby boy, but Macario says they are their to defend him. Dominga is more concerned about what JL will do when he finds out Ale is still alive. Macario says JL needs to start packing and move out. Rosario wishes it was that easy but has a feeling that this time around JL will not give Montse up so easily. He asks when are they going to tell Laurito that his father is alive? Hopefully soon replies Rosario.

Montse will not allow both JL and Ale to fight. Ale wonders if they should just flee. Montse tells him to just say the words and this very night she will pack up everything and Laurito to join him. She never wants to leave his side again. Ale can't believe that she will leave everything behind for him. He thinks that perhaps it's not such a good idea. Sooner or later, the past will catch up to them. Just like Victor and Nadia. We have to stay and I need to clear my name. I made the mistake 7 years ago to flee and now I am paying the price. Montse decides he's right and she will help him in any way she can. Ale wants to prove his innocence. Montse wants to know when to let the cat out of the bag and tell JL the truth. He wants to wait until everything has been cleared up and promises to talk to JL directly. I don't care what happened between you two before you found out I was alive. I can understand that. But I don't want JL to touch you again. Montse confesses that when she married JL, she told him that she would always love Ale and could never forget him. And now seeing you again, being in your arms, just confirms that my body and soul only belong to you. They kiss. Victor walks by and starts thinking of his lady love.

Josefina finishes reading the letter that Victor wrote to Nadia. Nadia wants to keep the letter but Josefina promised to rip up the letter once she read it to her. But she did bring paper and pen to write down what she wanted Nadia to reply to Victor. She says:

My love,
You have no idea how much joy I felt in hearing what you wrote in your letter. Every word you said entered my heart and filled me with hope. It filled me with strength to deal with being away from you. I love you with all of my soul.

Esme is visiting with Amelia and going over the baby shower invitations. They talk a bit over having the party at Amelia's house, Angie and Virginia. Virginia is in Portugal and has met a guy. Turns out the guy is Mexican and Amelia is eager to meet him. Esme changes the subject and wants to know if Amelia knows of a good, but inexpensive attorney. She wants to find out her options if she decides to divorce Refugio.

Refugio brings a cane over to JL. JL sees his buddies sad face and wonders whats going on? I just have a lot on my mind. JL tells him that he needs to honestly have a talk with Esme. Admit that he had feelings for another woman at one point but nothing happen. (something will happen to Refugio once he tells his hormone, crazy wife this). JL says Esme is not stupid and knows something is going on with him. You are distancing yourself away from your wife because you are not admitting your faults. Refugio turns the tables on JL and says you told me that you are withholding information from Montse. I don't know what it is, but it must be big for you to keep your mouth shut. So I ask you why don't you take your own advice? You feel the same way I do. I keep my mouth shut in fear of losing her.

Amelia is surprised . She didn't realize that Esme had marital problems. Esme admits that she and Refugio argue a lot. I'm thinking of putting an end to this before we start hating each other. Don't you love him asks Amelia. Of course I do, replies Esme. I have to accept that Refugio has never felt the same way I do. Amelia says she's talking crazy. Refugio does love her. Esme admits she is no longer the woman that he married. She has changed so much for him and she can't stand it anymore. She doesn't recognize herself. I can't keep living like this. Amelia thinks that they are just going thru a funk and it will get better. Once this baby is born, I promise you that your life and Refugio will change forever. The baby will re-unite you both. Esme doesn't want her baby to salvage her marriage. She lived with parents that fought every 5 minutes and doesn't want that for her baby. Aren't you scared of raising this little one by yourself asks Amelia. Of course I do replies Esme. But the old Esme wouldn't be afraid of that. She would take this head on. I want to find myself again.

Doorbell rings at Josefina's and Graceless barges in. She starts insulting Victor and says she's come to find Montse. Victor says that she and Ale are not here. She starts in on Ale lying to her. He told her he would leave town and she knows he's still around. Victor again tells her to leave but she of course ain’t' listening. She will not leave until she sees Montse. She walks to the backyard and catches Montse in Ale's arms. Graceless calls her daughter a slut. I may be replies Montse, but I learned that from you.

Rosario and Laurito return home and little man wants to see his daddy “JL”. Off he goes when the doorbell rings and it's Amelia. She is here to see JL.

Laurito is entertaining JL. They share a cute moment. Amelia comes in and gushes over Laurito. He takes his leave. Amelia found out from Esme what happened and she came to see how he is fairing. JL is glad that she came over. He needs to talk to her.

Graceless tells Montse it's time to go, but she refuses. Graceless says she must listen to her, but Montse doesn't see why. Graceless asks if she has any idea what she's doing. Of course I do replies Montse. I don't love JL. I married him out of gratitude. I thought Ale was dead and I don’t' care what the world says about me. Ale is the love of my life. Ale tells Graceless to leave. Graceless wonders if they have any idea what would happen if JL find out? Montse tells her mom to butt out. I know you will never offer your support in anything that I do. I will not allow you to keep hurting us. Ale tells Graceless that Montse admitted everything that she did to him. Of course Graceless don't give a fig. She stands by her lie and says Bennie did confess to her that one of his peons was poisoning him. Graceless tells Ale that she warned him that if he stayed in town, he would rot in jail. Ale calls her bluff and says call the police. See which one of us loses more. Montse will not allow it. She wants to talk Graceless's language. How much to buy your silence?

JL tells Amelia that this should be the happiest time in his life, but he just doesn't feel it. He married the woman that he loves and adores her son. I'm also ecstatic that there is a possibility that Montse can be pregnant. But what I did is not right. I kept things from her. A while ago Refugio came to me and I told him to be honest with his wife. But I haven’t' been. My urge to marry Montse overrode my common sense. I'm afraid all this will end once she finds out that Ale is in a coma. Rosario of course comes in at the right time and drops her try upon hearing JL admit that he knew Ale was still alive and married Montse anyway. Rosario comes up to JL and demands that he repeat what he just said.

Montse tells Graceless that she is still waiting for her to name her price. She doesn't care if she loses her money, her house or her business. It would be all worth it to be with her son and the love of her life. How much? Graceless says she's offended by what Montse is saying, but Montse doesn't care. Graceless says all that Ale will bring to her is heartache. You are wrong replies Montse. And if that were the case, it's my problem not yours. Graceless says she will not allow Montse to take Ale as a lover. Montse again repeats she doesn't care and to name her price. I don't want the police to come and for Pedro to find out that Victor and Ale are back in town. In were able to sell your children before and because of that you also sold yourself. I don't understand why this time you don’t want to put a price on your silence. Ale tells Montse not to do it. He will talk to Graceless and resolve it himself. He drags Graceless away. She starts throwing insults.

JL admits to Rosario that Ale is alive. He tells Amelia to leave them alone. Rosario can't believe that Amelia knew and didn't say a word. JL tells Rosario not to blame Amelia. He had her keep silent because he asked her too. Amelia feels bad and leaves.

Ale brings Graceless to the living room and tells Victor to leave them alone. She keeps throwing insults at him and starts in on his mother. Ale warns her not to talk about his mom. Graceless says that savage hit me. You should have taken her and left town forever. Ale questions her intelligence. Did you really think that I would just leave town that easily? Did you not think that I would try to fight for Montse and my son? I won't allow you to rob the peace from your daughter. You have taken too much away from us. Graceless tells him not to waste his time. You have nothing to offer my daughter. Not even a name. I have decided to clear my name no matter who falls replies Ale. Graceless says she doubts it. Ale plans to recoup everything that was taken away from him. So sit down and hear my offer that I am sure you will not refuse. I need to recoup my name. I owe that to my mother. When I clear my name and recoup my inheritance you can have it all. All that it has brought me is anguish.

Rosario asks JL why he kept quiet? JL says you wont understand my reasoning’s but I did it for the betterment of everyone. Especially for Montse. Liar yells Rosario. You did it for you. To trap a woman that you love who no longer loves you. You did it to rob my son the love of his life. Ale is “muerto en vida”. Rosario almost spills the beans that he is indeed alive. He's sure that Ale will never wake up.

Victor tells Montse to calm down, but you can't tell that to an angry woman. Just makes us more mad. Anyway Montse says if Graceless does one thing to hurt her man, she will make her pay. Even if she is her mother. Victor is sure that Ale will convince Graceless to keep quiet. I know she is my mother and I shouldn't say this, but I hate her so much replies Montse.

Graceless wants to make sure she is hearing right. You will give me everything that your father left you down to the last cent? Isn't what you have wanted ever since my father died asks Ale. Do you really think that I believe you asks Graceless. My word should be enough says Ale. But if that doesn't satisfy you, I will sign it with my own blood. Graceless says his word and blood mean nothing. Once the money falls in his lap again, he will turn his back to her. Only someone stupid will deny themselves all that money replies Graceless. I would says Ale. And what would you do with yourself asks Graceless. What I have always done says Ale. Earn my life little by little and take care of my family. Graceless says she has another way of getting that fortune for herself. I don’t need you. Ale assumes for her to be so confident, she must have made an agreement with Pedro and Fabs. Graceless says to leave Fabs out of it. How much did she offer you asks Ale? A third, half? I am offering you all of it. Whatever is left of it. Pedro took over the hacienda, Sandro took some and the rest went to Fabs. And you asks Ale. Don’t' tell me that they left you with your hands empty. That is my problem and I am fixing it. Once everything is resolved, they will have to return everything that is mine.

JL can only imagine what she is feeling at hearing the news. You have no idea replies Rosario. JL says he found out a little before the wedding. Montse had already said her goodbyes to Ale. She decided to start living her life next to me. Finally the woman I love accepted to be my wife. And I was afraid of losing her. Rosario says Montse's place is with her son. No replies JL. The place of my wife is next to me.

Ale wants to know from Graceless if they have a deal. Graceless agrees. He wants to know what arrangement she came to with JL. Graceless says it's her business and any other arrangements she has made will not be voided until this little agreement is completed.

Rosario says to herself that she knew it. This time he will not allow her to leave. JL makes his way downstairs. He says they still have more to talk about. Rosario doesn't want to hear another word and turns to leave. JL asks that he speak to Montse first before she does. No replies Rosario. I have no reason to agree. I know that Montse will feel the exact same way I do about this situation once she finds out. What you did was cowardly. I just want her to understand why I did this says JL. I just want to make her happy. A life not constantly next a hospital bed. And little by little Ale will die. That is not a life for her. Perhaps, but that was not your decision replies Rosario.

Graceless wonders if Ale told her about the arrangement they made. Yes says Montse. You will be immensely rich, but also immensely lonely. Graceless says she did it for all of them. I will of course leave everything to my children and grandchildren. No thanks says Montse. You can spend it all. I want nothing from you. Perhaps at one point, I would have wanted your love. But now, I don’t' care. Graceless says she has decided to support her and Ale. You only did it for money says Montse. I warned you to stay away from JL, but you didn't listen to me. Now these are the consequences. You don’t' need to throw it in my face says Montse. Although I know it makes you feel better. I know that you can't forgive me says Graceless. You are doing the same thing that I did to your father. You are cheating on your husband with another man. Perhaps to everyone it looks like I am being unfaithful to my husband, but not to me. Because I am faithful to me and my feelings. I am here because Ale has been and will always be the only owner of my heart. And you cheated on my father for other reasons. You laid with your lover for money, while I do it for love. If you want to get ahead, you will need me replies Graceless. This game of fooling your husband, you just don't know how to play. Your look every time gives it away. JL is not an idiot. He will eventually find out. She finger pokes her daughter and says she needs her so that everything doesn’t turn out bad. I am aware of what I am doing and am willing to pay the price replies Montse. The difference between you can I? You have never known true love. And if you are able to get all those millions, you will still be the poorest woman I know.

Manana: Rosario asks Montse if she is pregnant; Montse asks for a divorce; JL tells Refugio that Ale will not be able to take her from him and Montse overhears this.
