Caray, Caray!

• Hernan tells Melina he is collecting for the orphanage, but she turns him away. Later, Melina feels badly and contacts the orphanage, then calls him personally.
  
• Katia and Teo agree to give the relationship a try. They want to keep it a secret, but Katia tells Julia, and Yago quickly finds out too. Yago is okay with it, but they don't think Fidel would be so understanding.
  
• Camilo and Yago face off (over cards) at the casino. Yago proposes that instead of betting boring money, they should each write down their biggest secret. Yago's secret is "I am Omar." Camilo's secret is "I killed Ambar." However, neither secret is ever revealed.
  
• Fidel is convinced that Tom Vargas will switch teams if he's offered more money.
  
• Abel meets Tom Vargas, who quickly earns Abel's profound contempt.
  
• Sara makes a deal with Camilo that she'll move out of Lucio's house to get a place of her own with Mati, and she'll pay Camilo back. Lucio, however, has already told Mati that they'll be a "family" forever. He dares Sara to tell Mati otherwise. It appears that she chickens out.
  
• At the Ambar bar grand opening, Yago works hard to shake Becker's confidence in Camilo. And, Abel makes friends with Julia. He also makes a big scene and loudly accuses Yago of killing Ambar. He's drunk, so Julia offers to drive him home on his motorcycle. (The bar patrons will have to pour their own drinks!)
  
• Yago is upset to be blamed (again) for something he didn't do - in this case, Ambar's murder. He tries to explain himself to Sara. When that doesn't work, he says he loves her and tries to kiss her. This earns him a slap. She plays the recorded phone call that makes him sound guilty. They argue about Ambar's murder. Mati overhears.

The blow-by blow:

We begin, as always, with a flashback. Sara and Omar are playing a little game. Each player makes three statements, and the other has to guess which of the three is false. If the guess is right, the first player must remove an item of clothing. Sara guesses right, and Omar has to take off his pants. Now it's Sara's turn: she says she doesn't have a pet; she does have a little sister, and Omar is the only man she's ever loved in her life. Omar guesses that Sara doesn't really have a little sister. Sara says he's right, and she takes off her jacket.

(So... does this mean she had a pet? Or...)

In the present, Sara tells us: "I always thought I was the best liar. But every liar eventually meets an even better liar."

Hernan tells Melina he is collecting for the orphanage, but something about him makes her nervous. She tries to turn him away, but he's pushy. When she tries to close the door on him, he takes out a gun, not that she can see it. But he quickly hides the gun when Bruno shows up. Temporarily defeated, Hernan leaves.

At the casino, Yago tries to convince Sara that he didn't kill Ambar. She's not buying it - she has proof that he did. Eventually, Camilo intervenes to break up their little lovers' quarrel.

Abel, who has been drinking a lot lately, tells Lucio (who has also been drinking a lot) not to trust Sara.

Becker tells Camilo he'd like to review all of the property deeds before he signs on the dotted line. Camilo tosses this menial task to Tomas.

Katia surprises Teo with a little indoor picnic of wine (for him) and strawberries. She wants to give this relationship a chance. They have to keep it a secret, though. Except Julia already knows.

At the big poker competition, Camilo plays against Yago. Yago wants to make things interesting: they will each write down their biggest secret. That will be their bet. Yago's secret is "I am Omar Guerrero." Camilo's secret is "I killed Ambar." Yago taunts Camilo: "What would happen if Sara knew your secret? Are you sure you have the winning hand?" Camilo considers, then burns both of the secrets without reading them. "I can see you have more to lose than to win," Yago observes. Yago tells Sara that he has nothing to hide.

Bruno's not going to school. He tells his mother that his class was cancelled because the professor quit! Melina seems skeptical, but is distracted by Jonas. She tells him about Hernan from the orphanage. She had a bad feeling about him, but now she regrets the way she treated him. She wants to call the orphanage.

Camilo comforts Sara about her confrontation with Yago. He flatters her, and they hug. Lucio sees and seethes.

Tomas is trying to soothe Becker's worries about the potential investment. Becker sees Yago and compliments him on his daring and creative bet. He confides to Yago that he has some reservations about the deal with Camilo. Yago invites him to the bar's grand opening, so that Becker can see for himself why Camilo's project will be delayed indefinitely.

Fidel is attempting to grill a ton of food. Seriously, is all that meat for just two people? It's not going well. He tells Selma he's impatient to hear from Yago. He feels so helpless, having to wait so long for this plan with the bar to come to fruition. Selma reminds him that revenge (much like Fidel's poorly grilled food, she doesn't say out loud), is best served cold.

In the bedroom, Sara tells Lucio the "news" that Yago and Fidel killed Ambar. Jealous, possessive Lucio doesn't want Sara to go anywhere alone. Sara scoffs; she doesn't need guards. She kicks him out of the bedroom; she has to get up early tomorrow for a meeting!

Yago updates Fidel and the rest of the team on the day's events. Becker is having doubts about Camilo. Yago also mentions that he's seen signs of tension between Tomas and Camilo. Maybe Yago can drive an even bigger wedge between them. Teo isn't sure; after all, Tomas has worked for Camilo for years. But Fidel says guys like Tomas only care about pride and money. Yago's confident that they can get Tom to come to their side.

Yago tells Katia he doesn't want to be blamed for Ambar's death. He doesn't want to end up like Omar, paying for someone else's misdeeds.

Next day:

Julia asks Katia how it went with Teo. Katia says it went great, but asks Julia to keep it a secret. Julia asks Katia who Becker is.

Sara meets with Camilo. She suggests that they tinker with the odds for some of their bigger gamblers to win a little more. Camilo hates to let the house "lose," even a little, but he likes her plan. Camilo asks her if she's happy in her house. She admits that Lucio wasn't easy to live with even when they were married. However, she has nowhere else to go. Camilo offers to get her a house and let her pay him back later. (She should really nail down the exact terms before she agrees to anything!)

Melina discusses Hernan with a nun from the orphanage. The nun says Hernan was a quiet, lonely boy, a little odd but a good person. Now he's helping the orphanage. Melina wants to get in touch with him so that she can make her donation to him personally.

Yago sees Katia and Teo making out, and calls attention to Katia's lipstick on Teo's face. Yago tells Katia that she deserves to be happy. Later, Katia tells Teo that Yago knows, but Teo feels that Fidel might not be so understanding.

Tom is at Abel's house, briefing Abel on his "mission" to befriend Julia. Tom refers to Julia's "little friend." "AMBAR," Abel corrects him. "Ambar, Gema, Rubi, whatever," Tomas jokes dismissively and leaves Abel's place. After Tom leaves, Abel spits in his general direction.

Lucio rudely busts up Sara's meeting with Camilo. Sara privately berates him for his rudeness; this job is important to her. Lucio insists that Camilo is only trying to bed her. Sara says she won't deny him custody of Mati, so what's the big deal? They shouldn't fill his head with fantasies of a happy family.

At the bar, Yago tells Becker: "Mine's bigger than Camilo's." His development plan for this area, that is. Becker is angry to hear that Camilo has known of Yago's plans all along and never said anything about it. (Katia takes a photo of them together - which will surely give Camilo a thrombosis when he sees it in the newspaper tomorrow.)

Mati finds Lucio playing with the wedding rings. Lucio says they'll soon be together as a family, this time forever. (If "forever" means "till death us do part," then probably it won't be an uncomfortably long time.) Mati is pleased that there will be no more fighting. (Ha. Ha. Ha. Poor kid.)

Sara comes along, and Lucio dares her to tell Mati otherwise. He tells Mati that she has something to say. Mati wonders if he's going to have a little brother. Lucio leaves them, but Mati doesn't ask what's going on - he wants to show Sara his project. So, apparently, she doesn't tell him anything.

Abel, who appears to have been drinking for a while already, corners Julia at the bar, has a couple more drinks, talks about Ambar, compliments Julia on her bartending prowess, and flirts with her. Teo and Katia take notice. Abel begins to get loud, drunkenly announcing to Julia and everyone (including Becker) that Yago and Fidel are thugs and they killed Ambar. He has proof! Teo throws him out. Because Abel is drunk, Julia drives him home on his motorcycle. DEAR GOD, WHO IS POURING THE BEER??!

Flustered by Abel's outburst, Yago tells Sara he's going to clear his name. He goes to Sara's (Lucio's) house and pleads his case, yet again. She asks, why should she believe him? All he's done is hurt her. Yago replies, "Yes, I've wanted to hurt you. But I love you, too!" He kisses her. She struggles at first, then she appears to enjoy it for a moment, and then she pulls away and slaps him. (That's her MO. Protest, give in and enjoy, then protest again.) She says he's done her nothing but harm.

Mati overhears them arguing about Ambar's murder. Sara plays the "proof" for Yago to hear. He says it's obviously been edited, but she doesn't believe him. "I'm being framed, just like Omar was," he insists. "Don't you ever compare yourself to Omar!" Sara shouts. "Never again!" Mati has heard all of this.

Melina calls Hernan personally, apologizes to him, and invites him over to receive her donation.
