Caray, Caray!

Hortensia looks the insurance policy over with a magnifying glass and announces that Ricardo’s signature is fake and she knows because she would know her son’s signature anywhere. Porfirio argues that Pedro would’ve noticed too and told him but Hortensia is not listening. She looks through the policy and finds another signature page; she shows Porfirio that there various in the signature, even within the same document. Porfirio explains that there are always slight variations but Hortensia thinks the variation is too great to be coincidence.

Fabiola doesn’t want to hear Juana’s explanations but Juana argues that she misunderstood. Either way, she’s shocked Fabiola would even think she’d take the money. Ramon tries to defend Juana but Fabiola screams that he’s only there to see what he can get from his mother when she inherits the money. She thinks it’s strange that he suddenly appeared, after all these years, but Ramon didn’t know about the money and doesn’t need it. Fabiola explains that she trusted Juana, but Juana lied, and now their trust is broken. Ramon thinks Fabiola is saying stupidity after stupidity but Fabiola demands he keep out of their business. Juana stops them both and announces that she was only there to tell her that she is giving Hortensia the money as soon as she receives it.


Porfirio and Margarita suggest they look at other documents to see if there are variations but Hortensia is satisfied with the proof she has. Juana, being the beneficiary, obviously falsified the signatures and that’s the end of it. Porfirio thinks she’s jumping to conclusions but Hortensia wants Juana arrested and in jail, ASAP.

Fabiola thinks she should get the money, especially because she’s of age, but Juana argues that she will waste it all and Hortensia has more experience managing money. Fabiola reminds her that Hortensia is insufferable and will micromanage everything but Juana has made her decision. She then explains that all her phone calls were with Pedro and she told him she didn’t want to money but of course, Fabiola missed that part. Fabiola considers this and apologizes to Juana for doubting her. Juana hugs her and Fabiola explains that she and Andrea felt betrayed but she regrets everything she said. Juana smiles and Fabiola begs her to stay but Ramon tells her that he and Juana should talk things over first because he’s staying in Mexico City and that changes things. Fabiola nods and they leave.

Hortensia wants the police to come and arrest Juana but Porfirio explains that they must gather proof first. The first thing they need is to report the crime so that a judge may order an analysis of the signatures to determine if they were forged. He warns her though, if any fraud is discovered, there is a possibility that the money will be lost. Hortensia considers this and agrees to move forward as she wants to see Juana in jail for her crime. Porfirio explains that they first must determine the signature’s validity and then determine, in another process, if Juana was the forger. Hortensia doesn’t care, she wants to find out the truth no matter how long it takes.

The mechanic who lost the equipment, Flavio, tells Antonio, who wonders if Flavio keeps selling off the equipment to buy alcohol since he has a drinking problem. Flavio vows that he didn’t but Antonio is tired of his lack of responsibility. Flavio prefers to leave, as they aren’t getting along, and suggests Antonio dock his pay for the equipment and then pay him his last check. Antonio agrees and Flavio leaves. They don’t notice Dalia has heard the whole conversation from her desk.

In the hallway, Juana tells Ramon that she would prefer to go back to work but Ramon is unsure as the Medina sisters are unreliable. He thinks they should teach them as lesson, as Luisa said, especially Fabiola but Juana thinks they are already paying for their mistakes. Ramon suggests she wait until he finds a job, and then they can live together, and she can come daily to help the sisters but Juana prefers to stay with them. She also loves them and hopes he gets along with them because they are good people despite his first impression of them. Ramon doubts but agrees she stay, if that’s her choice. He asks her to go buy the newspaper with him beforehand and then she can come back. They go.

Fabiola cleans and stews in her “hatred” of Ramon for being nosy. She then receives a call from Francisco, who asks how things went with Juana. Fabiola prefers to tell him in prefer and he agrees. She hangs up and goes to get ready.

Ramon and Juana look for mechanic shop jobs for him and he finds some but they are too far. He finds one closer to Luisa’s neighborhood and decides to go while she goes back to the house. Juana is happy he’s there and gives him some money for clothes and food. He thanks her and she gives him her blessing before leaving.

A student at the college, Rene, finds Jorge and asks him to tell Osvaldo that he needs his help because he’s failing mathematics. Once Rene’s left, Sara and Andrea come and invite him for a coffee. He shakes his head, because he must study, and was only waiting for Andrea. Sara decides to tag along as she’s going to Andrea’s anyway to do homework. Jorge nods and they go.

Porfirio meets with Pedro and tells him about everything that happened with Hortensia and the (possible) false signatures in the insurance policy and the fact that she wants to report Juana for fraud. Pedro thinks Hortensia is reaching because no one at the insurance company knew Juana and she is unlikely to have had time to do it. Porfirio explains that they first need to determine if the signature is even fake but Pedro worries that the money will be lost if they investigate. Porfirio nods but Hortensia wants to investigate and they agree that Hortensia is being hard headed. Porfirio just wanted to let Pedro know because he’s always been a gentleman; Pedro thanks him.

In her house, Hortensia is angry that she is not in Porfirio’s meeting with Pedro. She should’ve gone herself and give a piece of her mind for defending Juana. Either way, she already kicked Juana out her granddaughters’ house so she has a win. Margarita suggests she remain calm because the process may take a while. Hortensia nods.

Juana is cleaning when Luisa arrives. Juana explains that everything is going good because she decided to give Hortensia the money and told Fabiola, who then apologized for her actions. Juana thinks it’s a bad idea as Hortensia is just trying to regain the social status she lost but Juana thinks there is no one better, other than her, that will take care of the sisters like her. Either way, the money has only brought problems so she’s happy to be rid of it. Luisa nods and then leaves before Virginia catches her.

Francisco is in his office when a blond nurse, Rebeca, walks in and closes the door. She kisses him and asks if they should eat together but Francisco tells her that Fabiola is on her way and he is having Lunch with her. Rebeca then suggests dinner and Francisco agrees before kissing her. As things get heated, Fabiola sends Francisco a text to meet her and he leaves after telling Rebeca that he will see her tonight.

Fabiola sips her coffee in the cafeteria as Francisco comes and kiss her. He asks her how she’s doing and Fabiola explains that Juana told her everything, including the fact that she was on the phone with Pedro and never meant to keep the money, and they made up. Francisco then asks if Juana is giving her the money but Fabiola tells him that she is giving it to Hortensia, for now, though she hopes she can convince her not to. Francisco suggests she not contradict Juana until she receives the money. Fabiola agrees and then they order lunch.

Ramon goes to the mechanic shop and talks to an employee. Unfortunately, the job in the newspaper was filled that morning. Ramon thanks the man for his time and decides to keep looking.

Andrea arrives home and smiles wide when she sees Juana. She runs and gives her a big hug as Juana explains that she spoke with Fabiola and she’s back. She then asks if both Jorge and Sara are staying but Jorge must call his mother first; Sara offers her cell phone.

Rulo meets with his contact and gives him the stolen equipment. His contact then gives him a new list of equipment to steal and Rulo agrees to get them, ASAP. His contact warns him that they also must be new and Rulo nods.

After dinner, Juana asks anyone if they want anything else. Andrea would like a coffee and Jorge more dessert. Before she can go get it, the doorbell rings and Juana goes to open. It’s Hortensia, who is shocked to find her there, and Juana goes to explain what happened. Hortensia doesn’t want an explanation and tells Juana that she knows the signature on the policy is fake and she is going to prove it. Andrea is confused but Hortensia continues to shout at Juana and demands she leave. Julio, having heard the screams, walks in, and asks them what the problem is. Hortensia tells him that Juana is a faker and a liar but Julio asks that they go to his apartment to talk. Hortensia reluctantly agrees.

Moments later, Hortensia goes into Julio’s apartment and tells him everything. She was sure Juana was lying about the policy and now she will gather the proof she needs to put her in jail. Julio asks her why she isn’t talking to Pedro but Hortensia explains that he is a liar and Porfirio is now helping her. Julio doesn’t believe any one of her crazy theories but suggest they also accuse Juana of putting a bomb on the plane where Ricardo and Katy. He wonders if she is the head of the whole scheme and they haven’t realized it. Hortensia is not too happy about his comments.

Juana wonders why Hortensia thinks she faked the signature; Sara doesn’t understand but Jorge tells her that it’s family business. Fabiola comes, sees their faces, and asks them what happened. Juana fill her in and Fabiola wonders if Hortensia has completely lost her marbles. As the doorbell rings, Juana worries that Hortensia will also accuse her of bringing down the plane. Fabiola goes to answer and it’s Pedro. Fabiola fills him in on what happened but that is why Pedro came, to warn them, but Hortensia beat him to the punch. As he takes out the policy to discuss how to proceed, Jorge tells Sara they should go and they leave.

Hortensia warns Julio that she won’t stop in her quest for the truth; she knows that he’s not on her side either way. Julio worries that they will lose the money but Hortensia doesn’t care if she beats Juana at her own game.

As they look over the policy, Pedro explains the slight variations in Ricardo’s signature. He then explains the upcoming tests to prove the signature is authentic and the sisters agree, if it will calm Hortensia. Pedro warns them that the money may be forfeited if they prove the signature is fake and Fabiola tells them that she will talk to Hortensia because they need that money. She leaves as the rest look at each other.

Moments later, Julio opens the door for Fabiola, who sees Hortensia and chides her for her actions. Hortensia doesn’t care if the money is lost but Fabiola explains that she trusts Juana to give Hortensia the money when she receives it. Hortensia doesn’t believe it and will proceed even if the whole family is against her. She argues that the truth is always best but Fabiola reminds her that they need that money to live. She warns Hortensia that she will talk to Margarita but Hortensia reveals that both Porfirio and Margarita are helping her. Fabiola is shocked.

Juana wonders why Hortensia hates her so and neither Pedro nor Andrea know but will support her. Just then, Fabiola comes in with her phone in hand. She orders Margarita to ask Porfirio to back off or she will never forgive them if she loses the money. When she hangs up, she tells Juana and the others what happened though she worries that they will lose the money. Juana proposes they have faith as Julio comes and offers his unconditional support. Juana thanks him and then asks if they want anything. Pedro wants a coffee but Julio wants a glass of water and he will go get it. They go to the kitchen as the rest wait in the living room.

Margarita arrives at Porfirio’s office and tells him about the conversation she had with Fabiola. She admits that she is unsure of how to proceed, especially regarding the potential consequences. Porfirio suggests she think it over.

Julio apologizes to Juana for all the problems Hortensia’s caused and Juana nods but she has no idea why Hortensia hates her so. Either way, she’s happy that everything is back to normal with Fabiola and Andrea. She then thanks Julio for his unconditional support since the beginning but Julio knows who she is and knows she would never take the money. Juana is surprised that Margarita is helping Hortensia though as she seemed to trust her and then tells him that Antonio has also been behaving erratically. Juana thought they were both honest and just but Julio warns her not to trust them as she doesn’t know what’s in their hearts. Juana nods and goes to get the coffee.

Sometime later, Juana brings Pedro the coffee as Julio takes his leave and offers his help, no matter what. Once alone, they ask Pedro how long the tests will take and Pedro thinks soon, as soon as the judge approves the order. He then gives Fabiola the check from the airline and she thanks him. He then takes his leave as well as the sisters look at the check and hug each other.

Jorge drops Sara off at home. She thanks him and suggests he come inside but he should go back home to study. She nods but suggests they go dancing in the weekend though Jorge wants to invite Andrea. Sara would like them to go by themselves and chides Jorge for being so close to Andrea; if she wasn’t his cousin then people may start to wonder about their relationship. Jorge shakes the thought away and then tells Sara that he must go. She kisses him, too close to the mouth, and gets out. Once alone, Jorge sighs and thinks about what Sara said.

Roxana opens her door to find Antonio standing there with a bouquet of roses. He tells her that he couldn’t resist staying away and Roxana smiles.

As Ramon eats a sandwich in a cafeteria, he looks at the news and sees that two of Rosendo’s men have been arrested in Tijuana. He remembers when Sofia told her father that she preferred to leave his money behind but calls her a liar because she didn’t mean anything she said.

At his ranch, Rosendo shakes his head at the same news and orders Jacinto to find a way to kill both the men who were caught before they talk. As he leaves, Sofia arrives and asks if what they are saying on the news is true. Rosendo would like her to stay out of his business but Sofia would like to know more though Rosendo thinks she should focus on her woman things and butt out. He then orders one of his men to take her back to the house. Sofia obliges.

Roxana puts the roses in water and thanks Antonio for them. He tells her that things will be different from now on and gives her a kiss on the cheek. He then asks about Diego, as he wants to take them out to eat something, and Roxana tells him that he is working on his homework. Antonio suggests they help him but Roxana receives a text from Augustin, who got out of work early and is on his way, and suggests they go out to eat first and she will help Diego later. Antonio agrees and goes to get him. Roxana then texts Augustin that she’s not home and leaves with Antonio and Diego.

Ramon is waiting with some groceries outside of Luisa’s house. Rulo comes and asks him to leave because his girlfriend, Dalia, lives there. Ramon introduces himself as Luisa’s godson and Rulo realizes his mistake before introducing himself as well. Dalia then comes and Ramon tells her that he met her boyfriend though Dalia immediately tells Rulo to stop lying because they aren’t anything. Rulo decides to leave before Dalia gets angrier, and she tells Ramon that she’s tired of Rulo’s lies. Ramon notes that she’s very beautiful and that is why many men would love to have her as a girlfriend. Dalia smiles big, though Ramon barely notices, and the two go inside the house.

Much to her delight and surprises, Benito surprises Luisa outside of the apartment building and asks her where she’s going. She explains that she’s going home as Benito holds her closer. She tells him that now is not the time and place but he proposes they go to their spot and have their way with each other. Luisa smiles but pushes him away when she hears Juana, who is running to catch up to her so they can leave together as she’s dying to see Ramon. Benito teases her that she has a man but told no one though Juana explains that Ramon is her son. Benito apologizes and then decides to wait for the bus with them as he’s also finished work. They agree.

Rulo gives his aunt, Fredesvinda, the money for the rent and she is surprised that he has been on time with the money for months now. Rulo nods and then explains that he has a friend who would like her to do a potion for him since he’s suffering over matters of the heart. She may have a lotion that works wonders and suggests his friend put on himself when he’s around the woman he loves or put it on her. He asks her how much it costs and she tells him 300 pesos. Rulo thinks it’s too expensive and asks if he works but Fredesvinda chides him for doubting her. He offers to pay it for his friend and then give it to him tomorrow. Fredesvinda nods but will go get it after she’s finished decorating her cake and getting the money, she’s owed for her laundry business.

Dalia and Ramon have dinner and she asks him if there were any girlfriends he left behind. Ramon tells her that he left no one that mattered and Dalia thinks he may meet someone in Mexico City that is worth it. He assumes he will but Dalia looks at him, eyes full of love, and smiles. It barely registers on Ramon’s radar.

Fabiola and Andrea cook their dinner but Fabiola can’t seem to get Juana’s recipe to taste good though she understands that Juana had to go see Ramon. Andrea asks her how she feels about Ramon and Fabiola confesses that he is a nosy ingrate and doesn’t like him. Andrea nods, unconvinced and puts her iPad down as Fabiola thinks about her questions and smiles slightly.

Ramon tells Dalia that his job hunt was unsuccessful and Dalia tells him that one of the mechanics at her shop just left today and there may be an opening. Ramon thanks her and Dalia confesses that she would be very happy if they work together. Ramon stops short and she explains that it would be better if she didn’t walk home alone, at night. Ramon agrees and then tells Dalia that he will go with her tomorrow and talk to the owner. As they agree, Luisa arrives with Juana and Benito. Juana hugs Ramon and then introduces him to Benito, who is the doorman at the building where she and Luisa work. They shake hands and then Benito goes to help Luisa with dinner as Ramon tells Juana about the job opportunity Dalia told him about. Just then, there is a knock and it’s Fredesvinda, who has come to see Luisa. Dalia goes to get her as Juana introduces her to Ramon as Benito’s mother. She smiles as Luisa comes and Fredesvinda explains that she came to collect the money she owes her for washing her clothes. Benito then passes by and Fredesvinda asks him what he’s doing there. Benito explains that he came with Juana and Luisa when he got out of work. Fredesvinda nods and tells him that he can go back with her. Benito does not seem very happy about this.

As they eat, Fabiola tells Andrea of her plan to show Juana she is responsible enough to manage the money once Juana receives it. Andrea asks her what it is and Fabiola explains that she is going to start working at the mechanic shop, which they own half of. Andrea nods and smiles.

The next day, Dalia introduces Ramon to the mechanics and explains that he is hoping to interview for the vacant mechanic position. Lucho asks him if he studied and Ramon confirms he studied a career in mechanics. Dalia thinks he would be an asset, unlike others (Rulo), who learned on the fly. Before Lucho can say more, Fabiola arrives and demands to know what he is doing there. Ramon explains that he’s there to interview for the vacant mechanic position but Fabiola assures him he won’t get the job because she owns half of the mechanic shop…
