Episode 61: Queen Pillow Top Loses Her Baby Bump

Tadeo confesses that he made the decision to save her life over her baby’s. Leticia is shocked.

At the ranch, Ryan doesn’t care about the new information Estela found out about but he does know that she met Danilo and they have a lot to talk about regarding him. Estela doesn’t let him talk but confesses that she knows Laura’s baby can also be Danilo’s and wants to know if they can trust her because she was taken aback when she found out it. Ryan nods and confesses that Danilo raped Laura and that is why the baby could be his. Either way, he would prefer not to broach that subject for now. Estela agrees but she was thinking about how different their lives would be if she would’ve never left and stood up to her father. She also thinks Mercy should’ve have kept quiet about her relationship with Pedro. Ryan sighs deeply and Estela takes the hint to stop talking but explains that she sees everything from the outside looking in and it just wasn’t right what Mercy did. She then kisses Ryan good night, on the cheek, and leaves as Laura arrives. She bids Estela good night and then goes to Ryan. He asks if it bothers her that Estela is living with them but Laura shakes her head. She realizes that she needs time to get back on her feet and she knows it won’t be forever. Ryan thanks her and then tells her that he has to go see Mercy. Laura is surprised that he is going at such a late hour but Ryan is quiet.


Morgana, drunk and by the hotel pool, leaves a message for Danilo asking what happened with Laura and her baby. She then tells him that no one will love him like she does but she can’t say anymore because she slips and falls head first into the pool, unconscious. With no one around to save her, may this be the end of the Queen Pillowtop?

Mercy is surprised to see Ryan at her house though she hopes it’s a friendly visit and not because he has his first fight with Laura. She chides him for not inviting her to the wedding but Ryan is a man on a mission and demands to know why she never told him about her romance with Pedro Carrillo.

Luck is on Morgana’s side and the hotel staff finds her in time to pull her out of the pool. He proceeds to give her CPR.

Mercy wants to know who told him but Ryan thinks it doesn’t matter and asks again why she hid her relationship with Pedro. Mercy admits that she was scared of his retaliation, especially because he was involved with organized crime, but Ryan thinks it was because she was having an affair right under Walter’s nose. Mercy shakes her head but Ryan also wants to know why they pushed Pedro out of Furia and made millions off his idea. Mercy explains that she didn’t like Pedro’s business practices and preferred to distance herself, as did Walter. Ryan also wants to know why she didn’t tell him about Pedro when she found out about Estela Carrillo. Mercy reminds him that he was in love and probably wouldn’t have believed her though she was immensely happy when Estela disappeared. She was sure Estela was only with him for revenge but Ryan is shocked to know she would rather see her son suffer than tell him the truth. Either way, Mercy is glad Estela’s dead but Ryan asks how she is sure that she is. Mercy is taken aback and Ryan asks if she’s sure Estela wasn’t also a victim of Pedro Carrillo and was forced to do what she did. He storms out without another word as Mercy screams for Joe.

The staff calls a doctor, who checks Morgana’s baby bump but finds it’s only a downy pillow. As he breathes life back into her, a maid takes pictures of the whole thing. Morgana finally throws up all the water, and possibly alcohol, and tries to breathe.

Tadeo cries and tells Leticia that he was put on the spot and had to make a choice. Leticia asks him to get closer and gives him a hug, telling him it will be okay. She is just sad that they will never meet their sibling or take her home so they could be a family. Either way, she’s sure the baby is watching them from the sky and knows they love it, no matter what. She is happy that they are close, even if it’s because of a tragedy, and asks both her kids to be who they were before. She asks Maria to be a proud Mexican and asks Tadeo to leave behind the world of music and change his feelings. They both promise to do whatever is necessary to make sure she’s happy.

Danilo arrives in a huff as the staff puts Morgana to bed. The doctor explains that she is doing better now and then leaves as Danilo thanks them. Once alone, Danilo kisses Morgana on the cheek and goes to caress her stomach but finds it as flat as an ironing board. He screams that the whole hotel now knows the truth but Morgana is just trying to sleep off her hangover and falls back asleep. Danilo curses his luck.

Mercy chides Joe for telling Ryan about her and Pedro but he reiterates that it wasn’t him and he would have no reason too. Mercy thinks they did it to test her and see if she killed Pedro Carrillo but Joe shakes his head and reveals that Asdrubal already confessed to that crime. Mercy has no idea who that is and Joe explains that he was the money launderer who worked with Danilo at Furia and also El Dorado. He goes to show Mercy a picture but she doesn’t care and asks why he wants to show her either way. Joe is quiet and Mercy demands Joe shut up about her baby as well and god help him if Ryan comes to talk about her baby tomorrow. She storms off as Joe tries to make sense of the (mostly) one sided rant.

Estela, who can’t sleep, goes to talk to Laura in her room. Estela asks if she cans it with her and Laura agrees and then admits that she has plenty of things that keep her awake. Estela nods and reveals that she knows what happened with Danilo, who she met that day, and thinks it must’ve been horrible. She explains that had doubts about her, which she told Ryan, but they cleared the air and she’s sure they both want the same thing: to see Ryan happy. Either way, she knows it must be awkward to have her there but hopes they can be friends. Despite the weirdness, Laura hopes so too. Estela then asks if she knows what she would do if the baby was Danilo’s but Laura explains that Ryan doesn’t care and that has made her love him more. She confesses that he is the love of her life but Estela is worried that Danilo, who gave her a bad vibe, will try and take the child away should it be his. Laura is sure he will pay for all he did soon and Estela hopes this is true (though we all know she’s probably lying).

The next morning, Danilo calls Horacio and tells him what happened with Queen Pillowtop. He is pissed that there is already a photo online and a sea of reporters waiting in the lobby for them to show their face. Horacio wonders what he will do and Danilo explains that Morgana will have to say that she lied and there is no one as shocked as he that the baby was fake.

Moments later, Danilo gives a makeshift press conference in the lobby to announce his utter shock and disappointment at Morgana’s actions. He assumes that she did it to rope him into marrying her while forwarding her career. He is surprised that she would stab him in the back after all he has done for her. A reporter wants to know why he didn’t find out till now, despite the fact that they live together, but Danilo explains that she had been distant and hormonal so he thought it’d be best not to bother her. Just then, tears well up in his eyes and he confesses that he wanted to be a father but it was not meant to be.

Joe arrives at Mercy’s office, happy to see her since she left early that morning without another word. Mercy chides him for discussing their personal life in front of Genesis, who tries to leave but Mercy won’t let her. Their discussion is interrupted by the news of Morgana’s fake baby bump, which considerably brightens Mercy’s day. She thinks that the only thing missing is for Laura to be pregnant and Genesis announces that she already is. Mercy smiles even bigger and grabs her necklace, thanking it for helping her pleas come true.

Estela gets ready as Laura comes in and smiles. Estela thanks her for lending her some clothes and admits that staring over is hard though Laura is there should she need anything else. Estela smiles and then tells Laura that Ryan is very fortunate to have a woman like her at his side. Laura smiles, visibly uncomfortable, as her phone rings. It’s Genesis, who tells her that the meeting with the investor is set up for tomorrow. Laura thanks her and then Genesis tells her about the Queen Pillowtop scandal: the baby bump is fake!

Alone in her hotel room, Morgana see the news of her fake bump spread along with Danilo’s declaration that she lied to him this whole time. She begins to cry but wipes her tears and begins to record herself on her phone. “I am Morgana Santos, and I have something to tell you about Danilo Cabrera…”

Laura tells Ryan about the pillow top baby and they are both shocked at the news. They both wonder how both Danilo and Morgana could do such a thing. Ryan then tells her that Mercy has been calling nonstop, probably to tell him the news, though Laura knows it’s also because she knows she’s pregnant and they will have to make the news public soon. Ryan nods but he thinks Danilo could talk though he doesn’t think he will reveal he raped Laura. Laura is doubtful because scum like Danilo never changes.

Chavalin goes to visit Leticia and reiterates that she has his full support. Leticia thanks him (but I’d rather she SHOW him how thankful she is and stop leading him on).

Laura asks Ryan if he still wants be with her, despite everything, but he can’t imagine his life without her (80% Galan; -20% for the Morgana slip up). He wonders if she’s worried about Estela and Laura explains that she understands why he fell in love with her. She thinks Estela is a very good person but Ryan notes that she has changed since her disappearance, mainly the fact that she used to be more outspoken and now she’s more reserved. He assumes being held captive changed her but doesn’t want to keep talking about it.

At school, Maria break up with SkidMark (thank you VEA) and tells him that she only went out with him because everyone wanted him and her father is a Mexican named Erasmo, not Tom Allen. She wanted to be like them but she sees now that she isn’t and doesn’t care to change for any of them. She leaves him speechless.

Tadeo meets with Horacio and tells him that he is leaving Furia though Horacio wonders why, especially since his career has taken off (and he’s not too bad in bed). Tadeo explains that he promised his mother and he’s a man of his word but Horacio offers him more money. Tadeo thanks him but shakes his head. Horacio thinks now is the best time to launch his career, especially after the Morgana scandal, and offers to take him out for drinks to discuss, alone. Tadeo doesn’t want to but Horacio reminds him that he signed a contract and has to adhere to it, no matter what.

Danilo walks into the Spider’s Den and Morgana throws a vase at him. He dodges it in time but demands to know what has gotten into her. Morgana runs up to him and tries to beat him up for hanging her out to dry after all she did for him. Danilo grabs her and tells her that he wasn’t going down for her mistakes, namely the fact that Leticia drank the poisoned instead of Laura and they took a picture of her without the baby bump. Morgana thinks he should have defended her and said it was Photoshop but Danilo doesn’t care. Morgana asks what they will do next but Danilo prefers to cut her out of his life completely. Either way, Laura may still be carrying his child so it’s win-win.

Milton goes to visit a former narco in jail who Asdrubal’s cellmate. He proposes that the man find out everything he knows from Asdrubal and he will recompense his family handsomely. The narco thinks it will be tough but wants to know how much money they are talking about first.

Ryan walks into his office and says hi to Laura Estela, who is dressed just like Laura, right down to her brown boats and long ponytail. Ryan apologizes for the confusion but Estela gets close and caresses his shoulders. She tells him that it’s been so long since they had been that close and kisses him (60% Galan) as Mercy storms in. She sees them and demands to know who the woman is. Estela explains that it was all her fault but Ryan confesses that it was his. Mercy chides him since he just got married and has declared his love for Laura but Ryan reiterates that it was a mistake. Mercy demands to know if he is going to be a womanizer like his father but Ryan shakes his head. Mercy then asks Estela if she knew Ryan was married and Estela explains that she did but that kiss was the result of years of pining for Ryan. Mercy demands to know who she is that knows Ryan so well and Estela confesses that she is Estela Carrillo, much to Mercy’s surprise and Ryan’s annoyance.

Danilo hopes he and Morgana can end on good terms and Morgana agrees but warns him that she knows a lot of things about him. Danilo nods but reminds her that she is a known liar. Morgana wonders what the press will say when she starts talking because she’s sure they will listen. Danilo keep throwing glass cups across the room and threatening Morgana with death (though evil doesn’t die so easy). She warns him that she recorded a video, which has been stored in her email and will auto send in a few days, lest he change his mind. Danilo slams down another glass cup and curses his luck.

Mercy attacks Estela and chides her for ruining Ryan’s life. Ryan holds her back but Mercy reminds him that Estela’s return is dangerous because she will ruin the life he constructed in her absence. Ryan explains that Estela was a victim though Mercy does not believe one word (I see why her and Rosario get along). Estela thinks she’s no one to judge as she left Pedro to run off with Walter. Mercy doesn’t think it’s a crime to love someone else but Estela thinks it is to destroy the person she left behind. She blames Mercy for Pedro becoming a monster, destroying her life and, eventually, Ryan’s. Either way, Estela doesn’t think she should bother telling her anything more because her heart is made of stone. She storms out with Ryan in tow as Mercy throws her hands up in the air, frustrated.

Laura arrives at the ranch, after her sponsorship meeting, and says hi to both Paloma and Rosario. Rosario then asks about Estela but Laura is shocked to know she’s missing. She wonders if El Dorado too her but Rosario proposes calm down as Estela could’ve gone to get some fresh air. Laura decides to call Ryan, just in case, and he tells her that Estela came to Furia though he can’t talk and hangs up.

In the hallway, Ryan tries to apologize for Mercy’s actions but Estela thinks she was right and she shouldn’t have come back. Ryan understands it wasn’t her fault but Estela doesn’t believe him because her presence has caused him nothing but grief. She doesn’t know where she will go but she should leave him soon so he can make a new life with Laura. She asks him to keep their kiss a secret (uh oh!) and he nods though proposes that she move into his apartment while she gets settled. She agrees but prefers he keep his distance for now while she thinks about her future. Ryan nods and then takes her to meet Joe.

Morgana demands Danilo give her something for all the trouble he’s caused her and suggests he retract his comments about her pregnancy because she’s done looking like a fool (not hard) in front of everyone.

Laura goes to Furia and asks Genesis if Ryan is there as he sounded like he was leaving when they spoke.

In Mercy’s office, mercy is shocked that Ryan would fall for Estela’s BS again but Ryan demands she mind her business. Mercy thinks he should follow suit and not judge her decisions either but Ryan thinks it’s different. She knows he only clears about keeping his kiss with Estela a secret and Ryan nods, especially because she’s great at keeping them. Mercy agrees to not say anything but doesn’t notice the door to her office is ajar (lock doors people!)

Leticia smiles at Chavalin and thanks him for always being there. Just then, Erasmo (who?) walks in though he didn’t know she had a visitor. She introduces them and Chavalin prefers to leave though he reminds her that he always looks to the future while Erasmo is the Ghost of Christmas Past. Once alone, Erasmo laments what happened with the baby and tells Leticia that he will pray for it.

Turns out it was Genesis behind door #1 and she tells Ryan that Laura is there, looking for him, and will go get her. Once alone, Ryan reminds Mercy of their secret and thinks she shouldn’t judge Estela so harshly because she doesn’t know the whole story. Laura then walks in and hears the tail end of the conversation. She tells Mercy that she needs to hear the whole story before making her final judgment but Mercy thinks they shouldn’t trust a sheep in wolf’s clothing and leaves.

Leticia asks Erasmo about Bonita and their kid. He doesn’t know why but Bonita doesn’t want to be near him or around him since she had the baby. Leticia laments this as he loves kids (but is he a good father?)

Joe takes Estela to Ryan’s department. She remembers when he told her about it and promises to start working soon to get her own place. Joe hands her an envelope of money and tells her that Ryan wants her to be comfortable and fully recovered before she worries about anything else. Estela promises to pay back the money regardless. Joe then asks if she knows Asdrubal confessed to Pedro’s murder and the fact that he’s El Dorado. Estela explains that Asdrubal is a loyal foot soldier but Joe wants to take down the real Dorado and reminds her that she sent Ryan the knife that killed Pedro. Estela doesn’t want to talk about it but Joe thinks she could help them find the real Dorado because she’s seen him. He begs her to help them.

Ryan tells Laura that Mercy is exaggerating and asks Laura if she thinks the worst of Estela. Laura shakes her head but thinks he should’ve told Mercy the truth, right then and there. Ryan thinks there wasn’t time but Laura thinks there was but warns him to tell her soon and not let anymore time pass. Ryan nods and then tells Laura that Estela will be staying at his apartment though Laura doesn’t seem to happy to hear this.

Joe apologizes for getting Estela feel bad but she explains that just hearing El Dorado’s name bring sup bad memories. He offers her his support and she thanks him before calling him a good guy, like Ryan. Joe then gives her his care and asks that she call him whenever. Estela hopes to not bother him too much and Joe nods before explaining that he would give her his house number but he now lives with Mercy. Estela is shocked and admits that she would’ve never imagined them together. She then thanks him and give shim a kiss on the cheek (ummm….wait…is she seducing everyone now? Steve run!) He leaves and she smiles to herself.

Danilo goes downstairs with Morgana and they hold another press conference. The reporters ask if they are back together and why Morgana lied but Danilo stops them and tells them to let him speak. He explains he was wrong to throw her under the bus because she did what any other woman would’ve done. The reporters demand to know what she did.

Laura races by Genesis’ desk but she asks her to wait because she has something to tell her, especially now that they are friends, and it’s not gossip: a few minutes ago, when she arrived, Mercy told Ryan that all three of them would keep the secret. Laura wants to know more but Genesis doesn’t know anymore than something happened at Ryan’s office. Laura wants to know if she means something between Mercy and Estela or Estela and Ryan. Genesis shrugs.

As Horacio arrives, Danilo explains that Morgana has a medical condition, which prefers her from having kids and she didn’t tell him out of fear and shame. The reporters ask if she was scared that Danilo was going to leave her but Morgana orders them to shut up because they don’t know what it feels to not be able to have children. She begins to cry and Horacio can’t help but smile at Queen Pillow top’s quick thinking. The reporters ask her why she lied instead of adopting, for example, and Morgana explains that she didn’t want that kid to grow up with the stigma of being adopted. She planned to tell Danilo later, and hoped he accepted her, to which Danilo says he would’ve and would’ve cared for that child like it was his own.

As they prattle on, Leticia sees the news on TV in pure stunned silence. She remembers when Morgana offered to take care of her baby when it was born. Leticia realizes that Morgana wanted to keep her baby and then picks up her cell phone. She texts Morgana and tells her that they need to talk.

Danilo announces that the press conference is over as Morgana receives Leticia’s text. Horacio walks away from the spectacle, all smiles.

Laura goes to see Estela, who knows why she’s there, and apologizes for not letting her know she was leaving. Laura agrees but she’s not there to talk about that. Rather, she wants to know what happened at Furia and if that has to do with why she left the ranch…
