Caray, Caray!

• Luciana and Miguel continue their quarrel from Monday about Erika and David and the fact that Miguel is more serious about Luciana than Luciana is about him.
• Gutierrez and his officers find that the room where the migrants were kept has been emptied. He sends his men to go look for them as they couldn't have gone far. 
• The ending of Monday resumes, as Gutierrez goes back into the holding room and notices... something. Gutierrez calls for backup and two officers return. They pull out a blanket and yell "It's a guy." Yes it is a guy, but not just any guy, it's El Coyote, shot dead and wrapped up in a blanket. Gutierrez curses that they found him dead.

• Miguel calls out Luciana on not being able to return his "Te amos."  She was bugged by her day and hearing Erika is into Miguel. Miguel leaves upset.
• Perla peppers Juan with a million questions about what happened. He doesn't really give her clear answers beyond telling her they moved the immigrants. When she asks about El Coyote, he only tells her they really don't have to worry about him anymore. She makes a suspicious face about that.
• Anxious Susan is having dinner out with Cesar and relates how anxious Mark and his phone calls are making her. She's worried he will violate the restraining order. Cesar gives her some advice to calm down and talk to David. She's also worried about hurting Tano. It's all adding up to one stressed out lady.

There's not enough red wine in the world, Cesar.

• At employees' quarters, Tano is picking at his dinner. When asked, he says he's too upset to eat and leaves. Ramon tells Leon and Miguel not to go after him. So Leon goes after his uneaten dinner.
• Susan tells Cesar about the breakup with Tano and how he's a good guy. She's feeling bad she hurt him. Cesar listens nicely and in the end tells her to chill.
• After dinner, Leon and Ramon watch a news account of the raid at the migrant holding place, while Carito guiltily eavesdrops. Miguel joins them. Apparently two men and a muchacha are involved. There is a statement by Ingrid, and she talks about how it was bad with El Coyote and good men helped her. Gutierrez too. She says she came forward because she never wants this to happen to her countrymen again. 

• Leon and Miguel are pleased that she did this and Ramon notices that they seem to know her. They fill him in on helping Ingrid. Meanwhile, Carito is shaking, trembling and clearly upset.
• In her bedroom, Gracie is painting when David knocks on the door. She sheds her painter clothing to reveal her black tank top and tells him to enter. He wanted to talk to her about things. He can't be with her because he can't stop thinking of Luciana. Cue the dramatic music and Gracie shaking with a mix of sadness and anger while David goes on about how great Luciana has been great for his mindset. Gracie asks if he thinks he will have a relationship with Luciana.
• Miguel and Leon fess up about Ingrid to Ramon. Carito is half listening, half trying to get away and drops her coffee cup when Leon says he doesn't understand humans who traffic in other humans. Leon explains he was just sympathizing. Carito excuses herself to rest. Ramon looks at her suspiciously.
• David continues on, now giving Gracie the I am my kid's dad first speech. She's crying and pretending to understand.
• Carito leaves a voice mail for Perla, telling her there's a serious situation.
• David can see Gracie is upset, and she plays on his sympathies. He doesn't want her to cry. She only wants him to be happy. He says that's why they need to put some distance between them. She is not happy to say the least.

• The two men (Mark and Juan) talk about how they don't think there will be any tracing them to El Coyote's death. The investigation will keep Gutierrez busy and now they just need to remain calm and lie low. Perla the muchacha arrives with some food for all. Juan is happy and goes into another room for plates. Grungy Mark gets icky and ickily hits on Perla, who tells him it's not right as she's with Juan. She gets this line in return:

• Followed by a vague threat on Juan - who would Perla turn to if he were gone? Who would keep her in the luxury she is used to?
• Gracie argues with David that she doesn't want to go. The family has had some happy times together. He thinks that confused her. But it's his decision, so that's that. She icily tells him to go; she needs to paint. He tells her he really does care about her and hopes she understands. He leaves and she goes into a full meltdown, angrily trashing her room, knifing a painting and cursing Luciana.

• Gutierrez is angry that El Coyote was found dead. He's sure his accomplices killed him to keep him from talking. He tells his underling to move and get on it, he needs to find those people. The man leaves his office, and Lilian calls Gut to hit on him. He's way too busy for that. He'll call her back. Lilian is perturbed and asks herself who the hell does he think he is.
• Luciana is all mad that Miguel is mad at her over her Erika jealousy. Marta tries to make sense of it. Good luck on that Marta. She basically tells her that it's good that Erika popped up to make Luciana think through her feelings for Miguel. Luciana rambles on about Gracie, David and the kids. Marta puts her in her place and tells her that David is a man of sufficient experience to figure out things. She also tells her not to make a mess of the tomatoes she's chopping and to decide what she wants.
• Work meeting over Chinese takeout for Juan, Grungy and Perla. They'll use Mark's truck to bring the immigrants to the new place. It's important that they leave the cell phones in it, so as not to be tracked. Mark slips that he's paranoid after what happened to Coyote. Perla asks what happened to him. Whoopsie! Jerk Mark covers with a lovely comment about how Perla need not worry about that and as a woman all she needs to do is keep her man happy and the place they are in clean. With that and a kiss from Juan, the two bad guys are off, but on his way out, Mark grabs Perla's face and menacingly tells her to keep him informed of everything that Susan does, and not to tell Juan about that. She doesn't want trouble from Mark. Perla can only nod in agreement with that.
• Gracie and her room are kind of a mess after her meltdown. They could use a loving mother's touch. Gracie just wants to be left in peace. Too bad, Lilian is here.

• Gracie manages to call David an imbecil for preferring Luciana. She knows she can change his opinion, if Lilian helps. Crazy eyes! Lilian surprisingly is tender with her.
• David finds Bobby in the kitchen. They have a father/son chat about how adult things are complicated. David asks Bobby why he doesn't like his aunt. Bobby says he loves her but she doesn't always want to be with him. David tries to explain that she's part of the family. Bobby still is team Luciana because Gracie doesn't want to be his friend.
• Lilian enlists Fer's help in the family drama by telling her that her dad is considering sending Aunt Gracie back to Spain. That freaks Fer out (something Lilian was obviously counting on). Fer will talk to Bobby.
• The next day in the wine vat part of things, Miguel is unpacking a box of wine loudly and angrily in front of Luciana. Luciana tells him "por favor!" They get into their issues again. But then they are interrupted by Tano and Susan having their own workplace quarrel, with Susan loudly yelling at Tano that "Te quiero but no te amo!" Exactly! Tano angrily leaves. Miguel goes after him. Susan leaves and Luciana goes after her. Another hard working day for the professionals at the vineyard!
• Carito is a nervous wreck in her bedroom and knocks over her perfume. Perla comes home and tries to tell her things are going great as they found a new place for the immigrants. Carito corrects her and tells her about El Coyote and Ingrid on the news, showing her the video. Worse, Leon and Miguel were the ones who helped Ingrid. Carito tells Perla she is going to the police.
• Tano throws a tantrum to rival Gracie's so it's good he ran away from the wine bottles. Miguel tries to calm him down by telling him things are complicated in love and you can't force it. He offers up his situation with Luciana and Erika as an example. Tano doesn't understand women. Miguel says they are complicated and explains his current quarrel with Luciana. 
• Carito is crying in the kitchen. Perla tries to get her to promise to say nothing. She'd be upset if Juan went to jail. They wouldn't get their dreams of luxury. Carito refuses. She's going to the police and she's going to tell them the truth.
• Fer convinces Bobby not to hate on his aunt by kissing up to him. She gets him to promise he will be friends with Gracie. 
• Perla keeps working on Carito. Carito holds firm at first. She's worried for the immigrants. Perla doesn't really know the immigrants' current food/lodging situation. And she doesn't think Juan really loves Perla like he says he does. Perla tells her not to sweat Juan, but Mark is another story. She doesn't want to cross him. Realizing she's stuck, Carito promises not to say anything, but she's out and if they keep after her, she'll return to Mexico.
• Susan and Luciana empathize with each other's man problems. Susan is sad but knows breaking up with Tano, a much younger, more immature man while she is married to a crazy abusive human trafficker who is obsessed with her, is for the best. Luciana has her usual I love two guys problem. Sensing the girl talk afoot, Cesar and David come in their office. David tells Susan the police are looking for Mark. Then he asks to speak to Luciana alone.
• Lilian tries to make chitchat with a distracted Gracie and encourage painting over dreams of marrying David. Fer and Bobby come in. Bobby asks what happened to the trashed paintings. Gracie pauses ... how to answer?
• Gutierrez is having a press conference. He confirms the raid was to provide amnesty to the immigrants in exchange for information that will bring down the human trafficking ring. He says he is not a racist, and he wants to help immigrants. His campaign is pro-immigrant. Asked how successful his campaign will be, he answers that he doesn't know. Then he talks about the raid from last night, but unfortunately the leader was found dead. While the immigrants ran away, they do have Ingrid's testimony. The next step is to find El Coyote's accomplices, imprison them and stop the human trafficking.
• Luciana asks David how things are with Bobby because she's worried about him. He will be going to a psychologist. Let's hope it's not Roman from El Color de la Pasion. She thinks he needs to stay here with friends and family. David agrees. David then notices Luciana seems sad. She rambles on about all the complications with Gutierrez/Marta, Bobby, and then Miguel. "What about Miguel," asks David, who is clearly all over this handy Miguel complication situation. Is it a work problem? Luciana says it's a personal issue and tries to evade questioning, but David knows what's up, and asks her if she feels for him what she feels for Miguel.
