Caray, Caray!

Max and MD exchange rings through the bars of the local jail. They don't need a church or a judge, they consider themselves married.

Orlando returns to Josefa with Doris in tow, to ream her out for destroying his shop. Josefa accuses him of kidnapping her. She said that if he withdraws his report on her involvement of the theft of his stuff from the shop, she will withdraw her report of him kidnapping her. But she’s still furious that he made her miss all the good stuff that happened while she was trapped in the shop. She stomps off and Doris holds Orlando back from following her.
Doris convinces him that he should let it go, they have the money from her Nanis to start a new shop, and after everything that has happened, she can’t withstand Orlando being in jail and having to deal with everything without him being there for support. Orlando feels very guilty for spending the time to take Josefa away because if they hadn’t done that, he would have been there in time to stop what happened and Julian would still be alive. They cry together over the loss of Orlando’s best friend, a very sweet loving scene.


Fermin and Honoria are at the morgue? talking with Adrian. Fermin wants him to talk to Orlando about finding the guys that Honoria convinced to buy the gun for her, in order to convince them to declare where the gun came from in the first place.

Max calls Fermin to ask him to stand by and do what’s right, to rectify Julian’s death and  to help make sure that MD doesn’t pay for a crime that she didn’t commit. He agrees and they hang up. Honoria walks over and asks what’s up. Max wants them declare the gun’s origins and explain why MD had it in the first place. Bitter enemy #8, Honoria, (After Ursula, Arango, Dan, Maleny, Josefa, Ivana, and Jacinto), explains to Fermin that MD had it in order to kill Julian. Fermin is dumbstruck. Don’t say that, Daniel is the one who came and attacked her, but Honoria refuses to believe that. No one saw Daniel. And she will seek justice for Julian’s death.

Alma convinces Esperanza and Clara to spend the night at the Bustamontes.

At the police station, the police don’t accept MD's defense and want to accuse her of murder. The police are saying that MD was armed and Julian wasn’t.  Max defends MD, trying to say that MD was defending herself against Daniel and she didn’t shoot the gun intentionally. He relays the info to Esperanza, who said there were no witnesses, but Max remembers that Ivana called him to warn him what was happening, so he leaves to talk with her.

Dan agrees With the family to carry out the mission as planned. Ursula is very pleased. As Ursula rises to hug Dan, he tells her to stay away. As of now, she is dead to him. Ursula acts like she received a punch in the gut. He's angry about the lie about being bankrupt. None of this nightmare life would have happened if he could have just married MD like he wanted.

Jerry is nursing the bruise to Ivana’s face as the phone rings. Ursula is calling to let Ivana know that the plan is still on. MD in jail, Dan gets kid, kid goes to Ivana. Just then Max arrives. Ivana tells Ursula, within earshot of Max, that she will talk to Ursula later and hangs up. (not sure if her mentioning Ursula’s name in front of Max will mean something later or not).
Max sees Jerry putting ice on Ivana's face and asks if she’s ok. Jerry tries to speak for her, saying she doesn’t remember what happened and she’s under a lot of stress, she may have fainted, but Ivana blurts out that it was Daniel who did it, much to Jerry’s surprise. She explains that he forced her to run away from the scene of the crime, but she saw everything that happened.
Max tells Ivana that he needs to know what happened and begs her to go to the police to make a statement. Much to our and Jerry’s surprise, she agrees that she saw everything, that Daniel was there, and it was an accidental shooting. Max and Jerry are relieved to hear that. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Ivana.
Max later tells Claudio, who then tells Esperanza and Clara. Now they need to find the origin of the gun. Esperanza said it came from Honoria who asked MD to hide it. Claudio said now they will wait for the judge’s decision.

Doris comes to visit MD with a bag of clothes and a blanket. MD begs Doris to look after Honoria, she promised Julian she would, and since she’s in jail, can Doris do it?  MD begs Doris to find Jenny to ask for her help. Another sweet, loving scene between friends as they mourn, cry, and love each other.

Back at the Bustamontes, Leo has a surprise for Clara. He whips out a tiny box and takes out promise rings to pledge their relationship, he thought to give it to her on Max and MDs wedding, but Clara just cries. Leo comforts her telling her that everything will turn out alright.

In the pen, the girl who defends Corina has to protect herself, she treats Corina badly to make it look like she’s not helping her out.

They take MD to the penitentiary.

Maleny ribs Dan about what he told his mother, that she’s dead to him. He creepily tells her, while he’s kissing her on the cheek (thankfully not on the lips), that he wants to see how long Max will stay by her side while she rots in jail.

Jerry tells Ivana how proud he is of her. He knows that this is her opportunity to finally have the baby. Ivana confesses that she could picture herself with the baby, but that she knew that she would never have peace knowing how she attained the baby in the first place. And guess what? The person who made her realize that was none other than Susana.
Later, Ivana thanks a surprised Susana for telling her something that she will always remember. She doesn’t want to be like the Santibanez, that’s why she confessed to Max, Jerry, and now Susana. She would be an accomplice to the crime, and what would she say if her son ever found out the truth? That you took him from his mother, said Susana. And that she could have prevented her mother from going to jail if she spoke up. She couldn’t live with herself if that happened. (I see an anvil hanging over Ivana’s head right now).

Max comes home and tells Claudio that it’s too late. The judge declared it a violent homicide and as a pretrial preventative measure, she’s now in the pen.

Doris leaves a voice mail on Jenny’s phone that MD wanted her to call her. But Jenny was too busy to answer because she was getting her drunk on.
MD is pushed into a crowded jail cell and stumbles over sleeping bodies. It’s then that she sees Corina. She makes a move to hug her, but enemy #9 tells her that she’s to blame for being in jail, she just was trying to help her and now she’s stuck in this hell hole. (She’s sort of right). She beats her up.  The wardens come and break them up.

Back with Jenny, she now brought a man back to her apartment to have some drunk sexy fun. She starts muttering about wanting to get pregnant so she won’t be alone in the future, but this scares the guy off. Her phone rings, it’s Adrian, to tell her that tomorrow Julian’s body comes home and it would be nice to be there with Honoria and Fermin. She tells him that she will be too busy drinking, and there’s nothing in it for her. Julian only loved MD, Jenny never had a chance. Adrian tells her there’s no use trying to discuss this now in her condition. After they hang up, Jenny becomes MD’s enemy #10.

In the pen, a group of women go after MD, she tells them that she’s pregnant, a fight starts up, but an old lady tells them to leave her alone. The leave and the old lady tells her that if they mess with her again, they won’t live to tell about it, and then she flashes a stun gun. The old lady must have some pull to have one of those.

Max and Adrian arrive at the morgue to tell Honoria and Fermin that Julian’s body is ready to take home. Max tells Honoria how truly sorry he is for her loss, but all Honoria can say is that if he’s truly sorry, he wouldn’t be defending his murderer. And if she gets out of this, you both will have blood on your hands. Fermin tells her not to be like this, but gracious Max says to not worry about it, he understands her pain.

Isela and Josefa argue about the usual. Isela tells Josefa that she shouldn’t be so happy about what happened to MD, because it’s the same thing that happened to Marta.  Yep, Josefa wants MD to commit suicide, just like Marta did. But Marta didn’t commit suicide, Isela has proof that the letter wasn’t written by Marta, and it was written a day earlier, in fact. Claudio had nothing to do with her death, on the contrary, he ordered an investigation of it. Isela says that they have to find out who wrote the letter. Josefa refuses to believe that she’s been seeking vengeance on the wrong person.
The warden and an officer are talking in the office, saying that MD said she was pregnant and the grandma inmate is now protecting her. Awww, that’s sweet. But the warden has other plans for MD.
In the prison yard where the food line is, MD watches the ladies getting their food. The prisoner who has defended Corina tells her that she needs to find a container to put the food in if she wants any. (I hope prisons aren’t actually this bad in Mexico).

The hearse arrives with Julian’s body. Out in the street, a guy selling papers is broadcasting the big news about the murder and to buy the paper to read about it.
Orlando, Adrian and 2 other guys carry the casket to the appartments, and Honoria and Fermin are behind them. All everyone can hear is the newspaper guy shouting the headlines. Everyone, including the priest, is in the courtyard for Julian’s arrival with grief stricken faces. Honoria has a difficult time entering, and Fermin takes charge. This is probably the saddest scene I’ve ever seen on a TN, I'm crying buckets.
The end.
