Caray, Caray!

Robert is still talking with his parents and Imelda. Eugenio will take care of Robert and Julieta keeping the apartment. There was no deposit made yet. Imelda is grateful her prayers were answered. Blanca cannot say enough good things about Julieta and she thought that she didn't like them. Robert tells Daniela and Marisol they are not going to New York. Blanca tells Daniela and Marisol they really have to treat Julieta well since she is the reason they are staying. Later , Robert has something else really important to tell them, too.

Julieta does not want Ana to think she is ungrateful. She also doesn't believe the Córcegas could be so bad. A visibly angry Ana tells her she will be the one having to deal with the consequences. Julieta has changed her mind for the good of everyone concerned. Julieta does not have to explain herself. This whole situation has taught Ana never to help anyone with anything. Ana tells Robert she just found out that they were not moving and how Julieta will be losing a great professional opportunity. Robert thanks her for her help in assisting Julieta. Roberto says he will be dedicating himself to finding out more about his past. Ana is interested in that. He just doesn't like things that are unfinished. When all is said and done she will be glad to get to know them.She tells them to take care and leaves. Julieta and Robert wonder what is up with her.


Audifaz and Polita are trying to think of who to contact to try to find Aristóteles. Polita has tried calling a thousand times but he has his cellphone turned off. He has only one good friend who does not know where Aristóteles is. They decide not to contact the police since he has not been gone long enough to qualify as "missing." They have to look for him.


Ana leaves a nervous wreck thinking about Gabriel threatening her with telling the family that she almost was in a mental hospital. She tells herself everything is going to be just fine. Why is her driver returning the envelope with the money? The driver tells her that Julián was only going to do business if he talked to her. She tells the driver to take her to Julián. He tries to talk her out of it. She asks him if he would like to lose his job.

Amalia is upset because of her menopause diagnosis. She let life pass her by. She feels big, fat and all alone. Belén tells her she cannot think of herself as a young woman because time goes by. Belén hates to say it but it is for her own good: the problem is that their father overprotected her as a child. Amalia has never grown up. Amalia cries on Belén's shoulder.

Daniela is being interviewed for a job but her bad attitude gets in the way.

Robert and Julieta are discussing their engagement announcement for the family. Robert is suggesting wine, pizza and the announcement. Robert and Julieta overhear Audifaz and Polita telling Blanca and Imelda about Aristóteles having run away and go out into the hall. He left a letter but Audifaz won't let Julieta see it. Imelda feels guilty for giving him money. Robert tries to calm them down by saying this kind of thing is common with adolescents. Robert asks if they were having a problem with Aristóteles. Audifaz gets flustered and avoids answering. Polita tries to get him to answer but tells her  ("Amapola") not to be saying more than she should. They need to look for him.

Marisol brings Xavi some food and leaves it outside his door. He is busy. He waits until she is gone to retrieve it and enjoy it.

Audifaz and Polita are on the street looking for Aristóteles. Polita tells Audifaz that if he is going to mistreat his son maybe it is better they do not find him. He left because he feels that they do not love him and that Audifaz does not accept him. They must be doing something wrong. Audfaz thinks they don't demand enough of Aristóteles and that Polita spoils him.

Imelda is worried about her grandson. What kind of parents are Audifaz and Polita? What will happen if Aristóteles never come back. Blanca says they can pray together but right now Blanca is going to bring Julieta some food as a thank you and give her a set of keys in case she ever needs to get into their house. Imelda leaves her grandson a message on his phone.

Aristóteles is seated on a park bench somewhere thinking of the cruel things his father said to him.

Ana goes to see Julián. She has no plans to be tormented by him. She just wants to give him the money and be done with him. He wants her to come in. He half smiles. She makes it clear it is not her kind of place. She does not have time. He asks her to just come in for a moment and that will be it. He moves some clothes so she has a place to sit. He is hung up on how she knew that he wasn't Juan Pablo and what her mother-in law and sister-in-law would think about that. That gets Ana to enter Julian's meager dwelling. He is all smiles as she tries to hand him the envelope with the money. He wants to know what she thinks of him. She only wants him to disappear. He makes her nervous popping up all over. She cannot stand him. Julián has a very interesting question for her. Has she ever thought how it feels to be the owner of somebody; to know that somebody belongs to you? She asks what he is talking about. She really intrigues him. He doesn't understand why she just doesn't call call the police and damn him to hell. She throws the envelope on the bed and leaves.

Daniela is at a café where Gabriel is hanging out, too. He comes over to talk to her "in peace." She does not want to fight. She cannot find a job. She is sorry she overheard his argument from the other day. She doesn't discriminate or anything like that. About the kiss he gave her, it must have been another one of his jokes because now she knows he doesn't like women. Gabriel is confused. She continues saying they can be friends. She always wanted a gay friend anyway. Gabriel tells her he isn't gay. It was just his dad he was talking to which was the same day that he got fired.

Blanca is at Julieta's putting the food she brought over in the refrigerator. She thinks that Julieta needs some help organizing and also cleaning her refrigerator. Blanca has a great idea. Why don't they have a joint family breakfast and supper everyday since they live right across from each other and are the only apartments on that floor? Julieta tries to explain that that won't work with their schedules, etc. Blanca won't take "no" for an answer. Julieta has to be reminded to call her "mamá suegra". That happens to be a tradition of the Córcega family. Blanca has Julieta repeat "mamá suegra" for her to help her remember. It sounds so pretty! Blanca sees Julieta as a daughter (not daughter-in-law). She is going to help her organize her home so much better so her son will be happy with her. Julieta excuses herself to the bathroom to catch a breath and ask herself why she ever canceled her trip.

Ana gives Tulio the update on Robert and Julieta staying. Tulio asks if she explained what it would be like being around his family to Julieta. Ana tried but she wouldn't have any of what she was saying. Tulio laughs saying they have no idea what they are in for. He wants Ana to invite Juan Pablo over to their home. Now more than ever he wants to talk to him.

Robert sees and runs after Aristóteles in the park. He calls him Platón (Plato) by mistake. Aristóteles corrects him. They finally get to talking.

Blanca wants a set of Julieta's keys to her apartment since she gave her a set and they are all family. Julieta first says she doesn't have another set of keys. Blanca explains that all apartments come with three sets. Julieta hems and haws. She doesn't know where the extra set is. Blanca asks her if it is that she doesn't know where they are or that she doesn't want to give them to her. Julieta doesn't know so maybe it is better if Blanca keeps her own keys and Julieta keeps her own keys. Blanca will not take her keys back. Blanca wants to know why she wouldn't give her the keys. Does Julieta think she would be nosing around her apartment? Julieta wants to have a talk to clarify a few things but Blanca thinks it is better she just tells her when she finds that extra set of keys and returns to her own apartment. Ana's words replay in Julieta's head.

Imelda is so worried about Aristóteles. Blanca tells her they have to have faith he will return. They will have to pray.The subject of Tulio comes up. If Tulio would have had a child, he never would have withdrawn from them. Imelda tells Blanca what happened with Tulio. Imelda kmows that Tulio never forgave her for saying what she did about Ana and telling him to dump her when they found out Ana could not have any children. He told her she was a bad woman. He loved Ana and wasn't going to leave her. Blanca comforts her and says we never should get involved in other's lives. We always have to be respectful of others as they do things in their own way. (!!!!!!!)

Aristóteles opens up with Robert as they have some ice cream. His father does not love him. He does not want to deal with somebody like him with his problems. His father is not proud of him. He wants him to be like Robert and nothing less. Then his teacher says he might have ADD. Robert asks if he had any tests to show that he has it. No. Robert doesn't think he is abnormal. People make diagnoses without being doctors or having the training. Robert asks Aristóteles if he cannot concentrate or doesn't want to concentrate. He doesn't know. Robert explains that sometimes things are hard for us because there is something that is bothering us. Robert thinks he is smart. All Aristóteles can think of is his father telling him he has to be better than he is. He has to be the smartest and the best. Robert wants Aritsóteles to see him Robert not as just some adult cousin but as his friend. He can count on him. He will take care of explaining things to his dad. What about Aristóteles coming home? He can call upon him at any time and he knows how to keep secrets.

Julieta talks to Diana over a cup of coffee about maybe having made a mistake by not going on her trip. Disna thinks she needs to put some limits in her brothers and mother. Julieta does not believe her mother loves her. Diana tells her not to torment herself. Julieta feels so alone at times but she does have Robert. Diana wants a normal marriage. She worries what will happen to Hugo if she leaves him. Julieta tells her the only way to help herself and Hugo is by being strong.  Diana feels like she married her husband and her mother-in-law. That is exactly how Julieta is feeling.

Gabriel and Daniela continue talking. He suggests she create her own line of designs. She counters with it is not so easy to do with no money behind you which is something he wouldn't understand. He tells her she isn't always right and she's a toughie who always is ready to fight to settle things. She needs to calm down. He has two pieces of advice: either study design at the university level or if she is really a creative genius, just do it and show everyone what she can produce. She is aggravated with him still. She says she was thinking how marvelous it would have been if he really were gay because then she'd have one less problem to deal with. By the way, she unblocked his number on her phone. She pats him on the face and leaves. He wants to go after her but doesn't. He is smiling.

Aristóteles and Robert are walking around. Robert suggests he call his dad or text him. He is not ready to do that yet. He still believes his father does not care.

Audifaz is crying with Polita talking to Imelda and Blanca. They did go to the police. Audifaz is still angry. Imelda says something is going on with Aristóteles. What is it?

Bruno talks with his roommate about having to move next semester to the city. The roommate says that will be great to continue the plan against Linda. How is it going any way. Bruno assures him it is going slowly but he is managing to confuse her. Bruno then texts Linda asking her what she is doing tomorrow night. She decides she has to play hard to get but chickens out. She texts him back that she is free and asks what about him. She waits and waits but he never texts back. He happily leaves her hanging.

Aristóteles is chatting with one of Robert's patients at the clinic and sees David. It looks like he has a lot to think about.

Julieta is on the phone inviting Blanca and the whole family over that evening. It is a surprise and she thinks (and hopes) they are going to like it. Blanca is suddenly at her door and in her apartment. She didn't have to call her on the phone. They are interrupted by Audifaz screaming his son's name in the hall.

Robert has returned with Aristóteles. Audifaz goes off on him. Robert tells him that is exactly why Aritsóteles ran away. Audifaz won't shut up and tells Robert to butt out. He lunges at Aristóteles who cowers and cries behind Robert. Polita pulls Audifaz back. One of Robert's bags is knocked on the floor.
