Cruz Residence
While everyone is out of the room, Sophia asks Lupe what Chava needs to return Patotas to racing standards.  According to Lupe, only the frame on Patotas is salvageable.  Everything else will have to be replaced. 

When Chava, Marisol and Matias return to the living room, Sophia apologizes to Lupe for breaking Chava's heart.  She only did so because she believed lies that were told about him.  She promises never to hurt him again.  Lupe gives them her blessing.  Chava offers to give Sophia a ride to work on the back of his bicycle.  Later, Lupe tells Marisol that she feels sorry for Araceli, but having a rich daughter-in-law will be great.

Outside, Sophia tells Chava that she doesn't want the fact that he's poor and lives in a hovel to come between them.  She wants to give him money to restore Patotas, but he won't take it.  He's just happy to bask in her presence. 

In the hospital waiting room, Igor and Fausto make a movie date.  Fausto is happy to see how much Igor cares about his boss' health.  Later when Greta joins them, the doctor comes out and tells Greta that her tests are negative.  There's nothing out of the ordinary in her blood; however, her heart condition has worsened.  He tells her avoid drinking tea, but Igor's natural juices are fine.  The daughter changes her medication.  Igor grabs the prescription and offers to make a run to the pharmacy for her. 

Silvana struts into the office and freaks out Noemi.  Silvana invites Dani into her office.  Dani tells her that Sophia told her that Silvana was a big skank who was trying to steal Patrick.  Silvana apologizes, but she was madly in love with Patrick.  Dani tells Silvana that Sophia gave Patrick the big boot outta Ripoll. 

Igor calls Silvana and tells her all about Greta's test results.  She is happy to learn that Greta's heart has been damaged.  Silvana tells her to write done the name of the drug because it might be useful to them later on them.  Noemi runs into Silvana's office and says that Sophia has an urgent phone call from Buenos Aires.  Silvan takes the call and tells Silvetti that Sophia is unavailable.  She pretends to put him on hold and search for Sophia.  She gets back on and tells him that Sophia is in a Shareholder's meeting.  Silvetti orders his secretary to get him a plane to Mexico.   

The employees applaud when Sophia enters the Ripoll foyer.  Sophia gives an appreciation speech to the employees.  Silvana trails Sophia into her office and apologizes again.  Silvana doesn't mention Silvetti's phone call. 

Chava visits Javier and confronts him about Lupe's bracelet.  Javier tells Lupe that he found it on the floor at a bar where he's been singing.  Chava calls Javier a thief and tells him to return the necklace back to the bar where he found it.  Also, Chava demands Javier tell Lupe the truth.

Lupe runs into Paco on the street.  He tries to avoid her, but she wants to talk about FEELINGS.  She admits that she keeps jumping in her own way and they Paco Puss would be better for her.  Just want a man wants to do.  Paco tells Lupe that it's Araceli's birthday.  Lupe wants to throw a birthday lunch for Araceli. They decide that they will invite Chava as long as Sophia doesn't come. Bad idea!

When Greta arrives at the office, she gets a phone call from Patrick.  He tells her to fix things today or else Sophia will learn that her father is the grumpy big guy.  Greta says that she needs more time.  Time is up, says Patrick.
