Caray, Caray!

Assmore ambushes Daniela in the bathroom and puts his cocaine infested hand over her mouth. "Surprise, surprise" he utters [and in English, so we are reminded that he's a gringo]. Daniela struggles to free herself from the slimy Assmore's grasp, but it's no use, he has the upper hand here. Assmore utters some more English words- a "relax" and a "good girl" - and he also tells her to "breath". He eventually whips out two baggies- one full of cocaine (a white powder) and the other full of pills. He tries to force the pills down her throat, but since she's able to fight him off, he instead decides that he'll put both baggies inside her purse, and it's clear that Assmore wants her mix the pills with the cocaine. He tells her to "fly", then tells her that he wanted to say his goodbyes, and promises that he won't bug her anymore. He eventually leaves the bathroom, but not before he blows a stomach turning kiss her way. Now alone, Daniela (still startled and recovering from the attack) approaches the sink and washes the cocaine (white powder- that was left on her mouth by Assmore) from her mouth. Then she takes out her cellphone, and still startled, calls David and asks her to come and get him.

Meanwhile, Erick teaches Luly about the American Manifesto ("In Good We Trust") using a dollar bill as a prop. Luly spots Assmore as he exits the bar, and she questions Erick about what Assmore is doing there. Erick pretends he doesn't have a clue. Luly gets up from her chair and wants to go and check up on Daniela. But Erick convinces her to sit back down. Erick spots Daniela as she comes from the bathroom and lets Luly know that Daniela is coming over to them.

At GM, Regina is feeling overwhelmed over making Jorge feel bad at the wedding reception when she rejected his marriage proposal. Jorge takes full responsibility and knows that it just wasn't the right moment for such a proposal. He promises that he won't insist or pressure her anymore. [Thank goodness] Regina thanks him for that and explains that it wouldn't have been fair for her to have given him a "yes" when she's not sure. It would have only put them on the path to unhappiness. Jorge asks her why she has her doubts. Is it because of his status on social hierarchy? "Of course not, don't be silly", she tells him. Jorge thought that his social status could be the reason since her dad said that he wanted for her someone who give her the same life that she's used to. She tells him that she doesn't care about those kinds of things. Jorge wants to know what the problem is then. Is she still in love with David?! [Duh! Or as Eladio would say "obvio".]

Back at the bar, Daniela opens her purse and looks at the cocaine and pills that Assmore left in there. She tries to tell Erick about her fear that David will leave her for Regina, but Erick is too busy pawing at Luly [who sort of sits there like a log and allows the disgusting Erick to get his slimy self on her], to care about Daniela's relationship issues. Luly leaves the table so the Montenegro siblings can talk amongst themselves. Daniela tells Erick how important David is to her, and how because of David she has stopped doing drugs. Daniela mentions that she saw Assmore, and Erick asks her not to tell his dad that she saw him. He tells his sister that he's doing business with Assmore. Daniela is appalled to find this out. Does Erick NOT care what Assmore does to her?! Erick claims that he doesn't know what Assmore does to her and besides whatever it is, he's sure it's nothing serious. Die Erick. Die. Daniela can't believe Erick's attitude, she calls him selfish, and tells him that he only cares about himself. Erick tells her that he's sick and tired of her. Daniela tells him that what she's telling him about him being selfish and only caring about himself is the truth and reminds him of his attitude when he came to see her in rehab. Erick tells her that he came to the bar with the best disposition to fix things with her, but he can now see what side she's on. He tells her not to tell her dad anything (about seeing Assmore- I guess) and leaves. Daniela is upset that Erick doesn't care about her. Luly who has returned by now leaves to go and get Erick so he can apologize to Daniela. Since David hasn't arrived yet, Daniela starts getting the idea that David and Regina have gotten back together. She tells herself that David doesn't love and care about her. No one cares about her. She heads back into the bathroom. Luly sees her, and calls Regina, telling her that Daniela is upset and that she's worried that Daniela will do something stupid. Inside the bathroom, we see that Daniela has inhaled the cocaine, and now she takes the pills.

At GLA, Nina meets with Eladio. Nina takes a good look at the contract and is in agreement with it. They toast to their partnership. Nina tells Eladio that she'll help him destroy Arturo in business once she is sure that their new business is doing well and that her kids interests are secure. [And we know she means it about helping him destroy Arturo in business, since she's sporting that purple lipstick.] Eladio listens and seems to like what he hears. In fact, they both toast to that as well. Bwahahaha.

At the bar, David has arrived and he rushes over to the bathroom, after Luly tells him that Daniela is in there and won't open the door. David knocks and asks Daniela to open up.

Over in Queretaro, Justino and Clara, are in their bathing trunks. They talk about having a baby in the future. Clara wants Justino to still love her in a few years. Justino tells her that he'll love her even more. Awww. Smooches. FF -->

Regina and Jorge arrive at the bar and rush over towards the bathroom door. David is still knocking on the door trying to get Daniela to open up. Now Regina knocks on the door. Oh, FINALLY, someone (Luly- I think) has gone to get a waiter, so he can open up that darn door. The door is opened and the sight they all see is not a pleasant one- Daniela is on the floor convulsing, obviously OD'ing because of the drugs she has mixed and taken. Regina and David rush over to Daniela's side. The waiter spots the drugs, and decides to go and get the manager, instead of calling an ambulance.

OMG. Now Justino and Clara are smooching near the pool. A waiter interrupts them- he has brought them their drinks. He tells them about a tennis class. They'll be attending it. FF -->

Back at the bar, Regina is holding Daniela while she is convulsing and OD'ing. David has checked her pulse, but hasn't called an ambulance. "She has a low pulse, she has a low pulse." is all that David the doofus can say. Oh, Jorge has called an ambulance and now informs the others that it's on it's way. [Alright, I'll give Turtle Boy some points here, for having enough sense to use his cellphone to call for help unlike David and Regina who are no help whatsoever] Regina scolds Luly for allowing Daniela to take the drugs. Isn't Luly supposed to be Daniela's BFF?! Luly says she didn't see Daniela taking the drugs, and didn't even know that Daniela had them. Luly explains that Daniela had an argument with Erick and was saying that no one cared about her. Daniela continues to convulse and OD while Regina holds her and David tells her to breath.

At Casa Montenegro, Petra is hungover and still mad at Obdulio. Petra even refuses the chilaquiles that Obdulio has prepared for her, but she sneaks a bite, when he has his back turned, and savors the delicious chilaquiles. Luly calls the mansion and tells Obdulio that she hasn't been able to reach Nina on the phone. Per Petra's orders, Obdulio asks Luly to leave Nina a message.

At a restaurant, Arturo and Agustín do lunch and have some bro time. Arturo, announces in a rather frustrated manner, that his cellphone is out of battery. Agustín offers his cellphone, so Arturo can talk to whoever he wants. Agustín knows that his pal is waiting for a call from the lovely Julia. Arturo denies it. But there's no fooling Agustín- he knows his pal so well. Agustín tries to make Arturo see how wrong he is to be worried about a call from Julia. Arturo changes the subject, knowing that he can't talk to Agustín about this. Arturo wants Agustín to prepare things, just in case Erick decides to accept his proposal. Oh, Agustín hopes Chimp Boy accepts, so Consuelo can get her son back. However, Agustín knows very well that Erick could always end up snatching the baby from Consuelo again when he wants to, since he does have full custody. Arturo will see to it that it doesn't happen.

Back at the bar, Daniela's convulsing and OD'ing seems to have ceased, but she's still passed out. As Regina and David continue to hover over her, Regina calls up her dad, and leaves a voicemail on his cell phone, informing him about what is happening to Daniela. Luly and Jorge continue to try and reach Nina or anyone else from the Montenegro family.

At Casa Gomez Luna, Franco shows Hummy his birth certificate with the Gomez Luna name. Hummy is NOT impressed because "aunque la mona se vista de ceda, mona se queda" (literally "even if the monkey dresses in silk, he's still a monkey; but can be translated to "you can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear") The fact that Franco has the Gomez Luna name changes NOTHING for Hummy. Franco assures Hummy that he'll use his new last name to get far in life. They start talking business, and Hummy lets him know that he doesn't want to be involved in any business that involves Eladio because he's now on Team Arturo. Hummy makes his offer- he'll do business with Franco, but Franco's proposal better be a good and secure one. Hummy wants 50%, but Franco is only willing to give him 25%. But Hummy drives a hard bargain and he wants 50%. He tells Franco to think about it.

Back at the bar, the ambulance and the paramedics have finally arrived, and Daniela is being wheeled out of the bar. Regina and David follow by her side while the others follow from behind. The paramedic informs Regina and David that Daniela is now entering a state of shock. She'll be taken to the nearest hospital. [In other words, she'll be taken to TOHIM- The Only Hospital In Mexico]

Nina arrives home and Petra and Obdulio let her know that Regina and David are with Daniela and that Daniela is being taken to the hospital. Nina looks worried.

Back at the restaurant with the bros, Agustín lets Arturo know that he and Gaby "spent the night together". Oh, but it's not what you think, we were in an orphanage, Agustín tells his friend, before Arturo gets the wrong idea. Before Agustín can delve more into this, he receives a call from Luly, who wants to speak to Arturo. Agustín hands the phone to Arturo, and Luly informs him about Daniela.

Outside the bar, Daniela is being wheeled into the ambulance. Regina talks to Nina on the phone and tells her that they are going to the hospital. At Casa Montenegro, Nina leaves to go the hospital. Petra asks Nina to keep them informed about what happens. Back outside the bar, Daniela has finally been wheeled inside the ambulance. Regina, David, Jorge, Luly, and other people have gathered around and they all watch on. Daniela starts having a heart attack. The paramedics attempt to save her.

At Consuelo and Miguel's love nest, the lovebirds and Luisita arrive home, after having gone to the movies. When Luisita leaves to wash her hands, Consuelo tells Miguel that she would like to have her son with them. Miguel tells her how his dad will help them get the baby back. Consuelo doesn't think Arturo will be able to convince Erick. Miguel is a little more positive about it, but says that if it doesn't work, then they'll find another solution. Consuelo is touched by how Miguel does everything to make her happy. They tell each other "I love you" and smooch.

Back outside the bar, Daniela has passed away inside the ambulance, and the paramedic informs Regina and David that there is no more that he can do for her. Regina and David rush inside the ambulance and hover over Daniela's now lifeless body. They let their grief out- crying and screaming. David takes off his jacket and covers Daniela up (her blouse was cut open by the paramedics). David and Regina continue to let out their grief- more screaming and crying.

At the hospital, Regina has let her hair done and is in grief mode. Nina arrives and finds out that Daniela has died. Nina is in shock. Arturo arrives from behind. Nina turns around, sees Arturo, and slaps him twice, right across the face. Then she grabs him by the lapels and tells him that Daniela has died. Arturo is in shock. Nina leans on Arturo and cries. Regina cries as well.

At GLA, Eladio and Franco are in Eladio's office. Eladio talks to David on the phone. David, in grief mode, tells his dad that Daniela has died. Eladio is in shock. He tells Franco what happened. Daniela shows some sign of having a heart and is shocked with the news and feels bad for Daniela. Eladio wants to go and be with David, but decides that he'll inform Julia first about what happened. And then, Franco shows us how cold he can be [and any trace of a heart disappears], when he points out that if Eladio lets Julia know about what happened, then Julia will run to be with Arturo. Eladio seems disgusted at Franco's comment and tells his son to have a heart- they are talking about a death here. Franco volunteers to give Julia the news so that Eladio won't have to see her.

At the hospital, Arturo goes into the morgue, and breaks down when he uncovers the sheet and sees Daniela's lifeless body laying there. [Kudos to the makeup department. Daniela really looks dead.] "Forgive me, forgive me" Arturo says as he cries. Now Nina enters the morgue and sees Daniela's lifeless body. She cries, goes over to Daniela, and kisses her. Then she lets out her grief and pain- and we can really feel the pain that Nina is feeling. [Kudos to Marlene Favela. She did an excellent job here. Her grief and pain felt so real.] Arturo approaches Nina and embraces her. Nina then goes over to Daniela and kisses her all over her face. Arturo eventually covers up Daniela's body with the sheet as Nina watches. More grief from Nina and Arturo.

In Franco's glass office, Caridad tells Franco that he should go and be with David. Franco sees no point in going to the hospital- the Montenegro's hate his guts, and besides Gaby already went to the hospital. Caridad thinks it's a tragedy what happened to Daniela. Franco agrees. It was a tragedy, and he feels bad for Daniela. But hey, look on the bright side, at least now Daniela won't be able to blab his dirty little secret to anyone. Die Franco. Die. At that moment, our resident scaredy-cat, Marcos enters the glass office, and he gets scolded by Franco. Caridad leaves. Marcos takes a seat. Franco gets a call from Assmore. Assmore has finished what he had to do, and he and Franco agree to meet later on. Franco orders Marcos to embezzle more money from GLA, while he works on getting some money from that imbecile, Assmore.

At the morgue, David (in grief mode) has gone in to see Daniela. David asks her to forgive him for not loving her in the same way that she loved him. He felt affection for her, and will always feel that affection. He wants her to forgive him for not being able to forget his past. He doesn't understand what led her to go and look for drugs again. She was so full of life and they had so many plans.

More Justino and Clara. Now they are horseback riding. FF -->

At the hospital, everyone is in grief mode. Regina is with Jorge. While David is with Gaby. Agustín and Gaby exchange a look, but Gaby looks away. Erick arrives, affected by his sister's death, and immediately blames David for the death of his sister. David explains that Daniela called him and told him that Assmore was bothering her. The name Assmore catches Arturo's attention. Luly says that Assmore was with them at the bar. Now Arturo turns to Erick. Arturo asks Erick how come he didn't get his sister out of there. Erick remains silent. Arturo slaps him across the face and demands that the imbecile he has for a son answer the question.

At the GL mansion, Eladio tells Julia about Daniela's death. Julia is in shock and she tells Eladio that they have to do something. Eladio agrees- but isn't sure what they could do. He doesn't want to do anything that would cause any more problems.

Back at the hospital, Erick denies that he saw Assmore at the bar. Erick even goes as far as accusing his deceased sister of making it up that Assmore was at the bar so she could get David's attention. Say it with me slowly everyone: Die Erick. Die When that doesn't get him off the hook, he tries to accuse Luly of having seen wrong. Luly confirms that she is sure that saw Assmore and that Erick saw him too. Arturo is now enraged, and determined to go after Assmore, but Agustín holds him back and reminds him that Nina and Regina need him now. Arturo starts to put all the pieces together- they finished their business deal with Assmore, Daniela saw Assmore at the bar, and now Daniela is dead. Regina approaches him, and with tears in her eyes, tells him that they need him. Father and daughter embrace. More grief shots, including Erick.

Even more Justino and Clara. Now they're at their tennis class. [Ya basta!] FF -->

At some bar, Franco meets with Assmore. Assmore is chugging down a drink, and Franco notices that something is up. Assmore says he had a problem with Arturo. Assmore tells Franco that he needs to close the deal with him because he needs to get out of the country ASAP. He'll send over his son-in-law to represent him and return when things have cooled down. Franco's alright with that, as long as everything is in order before he leaves town.

At the funeral home, the family and friends have all gathered to bid their final farewell to Daniela. Arturo sits alone on a sofa, and prays to God thanking him for allowing him to borrow Daniela for 21 years. He asks God to take care of Daniela. Near the casket, Nina cries and holds a photo of Daniela. From behind, we see that Erick is chugging down some booze from a flask. Regina approaches her mother and embraces her. Then Erick comes from behind and embraces his mother and sister. Regina approaches David and thanks him for the time he spent with Daniela. He tells her that she has nothing to thank him for. Daniela helped him so much when he was so down. Jorge now shows up and hands Regina some coffee. Jorge and David exchange a look before Jorge and Regina walk away to another spot in the funeral home. Agustín sees Gaby and walks towards her, but she walks away. Miguel and Consuelo approach Regina. Miguel doesn't understand what could have happened- why did Daniela do what she did. Regina tells him that they suspect that Assmore is somehow involved. The name Assmore catches Arturo's attention. Arturo walks over towards the casket where Nina is at. The two look into each other's eyes as they both feel the same grief over the loss of their daughter. Arturo walks away from the casket. Julia and Eladio arrive. Julia lets Arturo know that she's there and tells him that she doesn't know what to say. She embraces him. Arturo [rather coldly] thanks her for coming. Then Nina approaches them and Julia tries to give Nina her condolences, but Nina backs off. Nina blames both Arturo and Julia for the death of her daughter. She accuses Arturo of never taking care of Daniela because he always preferred to be with Julia. She accuses Julia of causing Daniela anguish because she wanted to separate David and Daniela and never liked Daniela. Nina tells Julia to leave because she has nothing to do there. Then she tells Arturo to leave too. Arturo reminds her that Daniela was his daughter too. And that's it for it now. Tune in Monday to see what happens next.
