Benito calls Adalgiza, who has just woken up, to ask her how she’s doing. Adalgiza is good but has no idea what happened. Benito explains that he is giving his mother pills in secret and she drank them by mistake. Adalgiza didn’t know Fredesvinda was sick and Benito explains that she is suffering from dissociation as she doesn’t hear him whenever he talks about Luisa and how much he loves her. Adalgiza is shocked to hear about Luisa and curses her luck but saves herself by saying she’s worried about Fredesvinda. Benito then reveals that Jean Claude is a psychologist, not a friend, and asks her to help him give his mother the pills. Adalgiza, half-heartedly, agrees.

Osvaldo meets with his partner in the test selling scheme. His partner asks if his clients know who he is and have his contact information. Osvaldo nods and his partner worries that the university authorities will use that against him. He then warns Osvaldo to never mention his name or else. Osvaldo nods.

Adalgiza is shocked to know about Luisa and Benito. She wonders how she could’ve missed it as Fredesvinda comes and asks her how she feels as she fell asleep early yesterday. Adalgiza shakes off the question and then tells Fredesvinda that she bought her some antioxidant pills (Jean Claude’s pills) that a coworker recommended but she will give them to her at specified hours, so they can have the correct effect. Fredesvinda thanks her for her kind gesture.

Fabiola compliments Ramon on his cooking and he compliments her on being who she is, as he loves all of her.

Luisa reminds him that her love for him is great to have survived so many obstacles.

The lawyer calls Veronica and tells her that he needs the documents she promised in his hand by that afternoon. Veronica agrees and hangs up. She then goes into Porfirio’s office, which is surprisingly vacant, and looks around for the documents. She opens one of the drawers with a key on his desk and finds the HS documents. She looks them over and smiles before taking them and putting the file back in its place. She closes the door behind her.

Fabiola goes to the boutique and interviews for the sales job. She admits that she doesn’t have a lot of selling experience, but she worked in a mechanic shop before.

Fredesvinda runs into Liboria, the nosy neighbor that saw Luisa and Benito kiss. Liboria tells her that she looks great and Fredesvinda tells her about the rejuvenating pills Adalgiza got her before promising to get her some as well. Liboria then asks if her nephew, Regino, can meet Adalgiza, to see if they click. Fredesvinda shakes her head as Adalgiza already meet someone who is good looking, hardworking, etc., and then whispers under her breath that Adalgiza will as soon as Luisa is out of the picture. Liboria then tells her about one of her clients, who suffered a cerebral stroke, and now only speaks English. Fredesvinda asks for more details.

Fredesvinda arrives home and tells Benito about her meeting with Liboria, who said she looked younger, and Benito agrees that she looks great and offers to buy another bottle. Fredesvinda agrees and then Benito tries to talk about Luisa, though Fredesvinda tells him that she forgot the tortillas and runs out. Benito sighs deeply as the pills are great but don’t work.

Osvaldo arrives at Susana’s house and chides her for sending the incriminating email. Susana admits that she sent it, as revenge for dumping her, and Osvaldo warns her that he will tell the school she helped him.

Over breakfast, Andrea tells Juana that Ramon and Fabiola have finally found work. Juana is happy to hear it and then asks Andrea if she has class until late as she’s going to the movies with Julio that night. Andrea is surprised but understands as Julio is basically living alone and may feel lonely. Juana smiles and Andrea, thinks it’s good she goes out and takes her mind off things like Julio.

Sofia meets with a PI and asks him to find someone she met in Tijuana, Ramon Lopez Ortiz. She gives him his profession and the fact that he has a mother who also lives in Mexico City. She has few other details and the PI admits that it will be hard to find as his last name is common, and the city is big. He suggests she doesn’t call another PI, as they will likely defraud her, and Sofia thanks him for his honesty. He bids her goodbye and Sofia wonders how she will find Ramon now.

Jean Claude goes to see Fredesvinda, who wonders why he’s there, and realizes that he’s the doctor who prescribed the pills. Jean Claude has no idea why the pills have had that effect, as it’s never happened before, and he suggests they get a translator as neither he nor Benito speaks English. Benito suggests Adalgiza, who was born in the US, and calls her. She is on her way to work but Benito begs her to come back as he can’t understand Fredesvinda. Fredesvinda hadn’t thought of Fredesvinda but continues to pretend to be clueless.

Sofia arrives at her hotel room and swears to find Ramon, even if she must put up fliers. She then notices the phone book and looks up Lopez but finds that there are dozens of pages. She wonders what his mother’s name is, as he must live with her, but sighs deeply.

She grabs some paper and rights down the information to send an announcement to Ramon.

Jean Claude and Benito hear Fredesvinda say “Godfather” and then it’s father so she must be asking for a Padre (priest). Jean Claude takes her pulse but finds she’s okay as Adalgiza comes and takes to her in English. Fredesvinda has no idea what happened but she feels great though she wonders what Jean Claude is doing there. They try to lie, to no avail, and finally state that he knows first aid and that is why he took her pulse. Fredesvinda shakes her head.

Sofia goes to the radio station and finds the DJ who handles the program. She asks him if she can record her message ASAP and he agrees so they can begin to circulate her announcement ASAP. Sofia agrees and goes to him.

The doctor goes to see Roxana and reveals that the danger has not passed, like they thought. He suggests a suture that will help protect the baby though it will have to be done under general anesthesia. Thought nothing is 100% sure, the suture will help the baby. Roxana and Antonio agree to go through with the procedure.

Sofia records her message and begs Ramon to please contact her as she has a lot of things to tell him and only lied to protect him. She then tells him that she loves him with all her heart and will be at the radio station for three days in the afternoon, should he hear her message and want to see her.

Julio goes to pick up Juana, who is ready to go and happy to see him, and they go.

Jean Claude, who had left for a few hours, comes back, and asks about Fredesvinda. Adalgiza explains that she’s better, and eating, but they still don’t know what’s wrong. Jean Claude reveals that he’s done some research and she could’ve suffered a cerebral stroke though he needs to be sure. He shows Fredesvinda some pictures and she correctly matches the images with the word. He then tells Benito and Adalgiza that she’s not in too bad a health, but Benito can only communicate with her in English, much to his discomfort.

In the car and after the movie, Julio confesses that he hasn’t gone out since Virginia’s death and thanks her for going with him.

Sofia, who is at the station, hopes Ramon hears her message.

Fabiola is at Ramon’s and turns on the radio to the station just in time to hear Sofia’s message. She shakes her head, thinking that it’s too much of a coincidence, and turns off the radio as Ramon arrives. She tells him that her first day was great and the owner told her that she has a natural gift for sales. Ramon kisses her and then tells her his good news: a coworker’s son is moving from his apartment and it’s in a good area and at a good price. Fabiola hugs and kisses him as they smile at their good luck.

Julio and Juana arrive home, and he asks her to invite him for a coffee. Juana thinks he should go home, as it’s too late for visits, but Julio confesses that he likes her a lot, grabs her and plants a kiss on her lips, much to Juana’s shock. She immediately pushes him off and runs off while screaming “no!” Julio smiles to himself as he watches her good.

Inside her apartment, Juana chides herself for allowing the kiss with Julio to happen. Andrea comes then and asks if she enjoyed the movie. Juana mumbles something and then tells Andrea that she’s tired and going to be. She runs off as Andrea shrugs.
