Julieta continues mourning the loss of her baby in the nursery remembering what she wrote to her unborn child.
Xavi and his manager are negotiating his appearance at Begoña's restaurant with Begoña. She leaves. Remembering Marisol's advice, Xavi asks his manager how much he will be making for his appearance. His manager turns it back on him asking him if he knows how much it costs to launch a career like his. Xavi wonders if it is worth it starting in a place like the restaurant. The manager makes it clear that if they are going to work together he has to have Xavi's full confidence. He does not want him questioning his decisions. Begoña returns with Ignacio, Marisol's ex. Begoña tells them that Ignacio will take care of everything for them.
Eugenio meets Robert in the hall and asks Robert what is going on with Blanca and Imelda crying. Robert tells him he has no idea. Eugenio says they are experts at keeping things to themselves when it suits them. Robert is left feeling guilty.
Cornelio decides to go see Linda. He got a hair cut so he looks different. She won't be able to resist him. Bruno is surprised he is still interested in going out with her after all she did to him. Cornelio thinks "why not?" after Bruno taught her a lesson. Bruno does not look happy And shows him to the door.
Catalina talks with Robert to see how he is doing. She realizes all he has been through in his life. He says he is okay. She also tells him she wants to be more of a support to her daughter so she is going to be hanging around a long time.
América and her friends (who all repeat what América says in unison)come to the restaurant to see Daniela. América is there to complain to Daniela about getting in between her and Benjamín. Benjamín canceled their wedding because of her. América grabs Daniela by the arm so she cannot leave after Daniela has told her that she is doing nothing to break up América and Benjamín. Gabriel sees what is going on and comes to Daniela's defense. He proceeds to tell América and her friends about all of Daniela's virtues. She is the best kind of woman that can be. She is a hard worker, honest, incapable of angering a man. She does not betray her friends. She does not need kilos of makeup on her face to make herself feel secure nor clothing to hide behind as if she were somebody else. Daniela is the real thing. She is the kind of woman you can spot kilometers away. She is worthwhile. He tells América to go patch things up with Benjamín. He tells América that he doesn't want to see her at his restaurant just like he does not want to see Benjamín at his restaurant. It is time for her to leave. América warns Daniela off of her "husband". Whoops! The friends say "ex-husband" in their repitition. She and her posse leave. Daniela thanks Gabriel.
Cornelio comes to see Linda at work. She tells him she loves his new look. She admits she acted badly and goes out with him. Linda takes a selfie with him and sends it to Bruno. Bruno does not look pleased. Cornelio has a different date from what he had planned. Linda will not even let him touch her hand. He will have to win her attentions.
Still at the restaurant, Ignacio tells Xavi that his ex was one of his super fans. She had a cd of his she never stopped listening to. Ignacio says he is recently divorced. Xavi laughs saying his love songs must not have worked. Ignacio explains that his ex was always looking for a fight. She mistreated him. One day, he just couldn't take anymore and left for good. The manager isn't really interested in Xavi's fans of the past. Xavi protests saying they are the ones who got him to the top. The manager thinks that he needs to focus on tomorrow and maybe a musical style like regatón. Ignacio suggests throwing in some rap to and does one of his own about his wife leaving him. Xavi says that it all sounds well and good but he still is a romantic artist. The manager leaves Xavi with Ignacio to tie up the loose ends. Xavi asks what Ignacio expects from having his performance there. He expects people to come in and drink and eat. Xavi asks if there will be a cover. No, they are allowing him to sing at their restaurant. There will be no pay. Ignacio is more interested in talking about Xavi going after women when he was famous. Did he ever fall in love with a fan? Xavi just smiles.
Blanca tells Imelda she really wants to go and see how Juan Pablo and Julieta are doing but she is worried about making a mistake like Imelda did. Imelda wants to know what mistake that was. It was when she tried to separate Ana and Tulio. Now Imelda remembers.
Robert is now in the nursery crying his eyes out and remembering the ultrasound session. Julieta awakens suddenly from her nap and goes looking for Robert. She finds him sobbing on the floor of the nursery. She asks him to forgive her. He does not want her to apologize for anything. She knows he is suffering. He knows what they are going through and it is not easy especially for her but it will be something they will fight through together. It hurts him not being able to be a father. It, also, hurts him to see her suffering so much. He tells her again she is not responsible for anything.
An angry Ana goes to confront Julián at his place to ask him why he came by her house. His reason was that she wasn't answering his texts. He cannot take being apart from her but agrees not to come back to her house. She does not want him pursuing her. If she does not answer him, it is because some days she just wants to be alone.She informs him that she has learned to live alone with her secret for over thirty years. What does he want from her? Whatever she wants is his answer. Ana still cannot bring herself to kiss him and just stares at him. They cannot be together. She is a married woman. He reminds her that her husband doesn't even touch her any more. Ana counters with that a lot of couples live that way. Well, if that is the case, she is going to have to be happy with the crumbs her husband gives her. He opens the door for her to leave and tells her to go where she belongs st her husband's side. Ana leaves.
Marisol talks with Xavi. He tells her about the restaurant employee (her ex Ignacio) who was helping him. He had a wife that was crazy about Xavi. He is the same man that is running the show and seems to be a good guy.
Ignacio talks with Begoña as she leaves. She is leaving him in charge. She ends up with Xavi's manager in his car. She offers to buy him a new one. No, he needs nothing from her just this date that she owed him. Who was left in charge at the restaurant? She says Ignacio who is more of an employee than a lover these days. It is really a busines relationship. Ignacio has his hand on her leg immediately. It is better to change the topic. Begoña just smiles.
Aristóteles goes to talk to Dr Octavio, whoat first doesn't like his attitude. Octavio makes it clear that he is Arisóteles' psychologist and not his friend or his family member. Aristóteles felt so bad at the orphanage leaving Dave. They also talk about Aristóteles living his own life and becoming independent from his parents.
Julieta and Robert are holding hands in bed. They cannot sleep. They can hear Xavi on the piano. Julieta wonders what will become of them. Robert says he loves her.
Enzo meets Amalia at the gym and tries to give her some advice on her fighting for her own happiness. She cannot stop her singing lessons. She is a talented singer and is a beautiful person on the inside. Her problem is her insecurity. She starts flirting with Enzo and then sort of proposing to him which makes him look very uncomfortable. He tries to set her straight by telling her he doesn't want her to misinterpret things. He holds her in high esteem. She hates that word "esteem". She needs to be loved. Enzo tells her that nobody is going to love her until she loves herself. When people see her real beauty, she won't have to go around begging for love. She decides that she is going to show him. Enzo looks exhausted. She later is handed an invitation from a guy on the street. She thinks he is interested in her but the invitation is a card to advertise a gym. The guy thinks she might be interested in some weight losing classes. She angrily leaves. She later tells Amalia that she is going to love herself as she is and by doing so Enzo is going to fall in love with her.
The next morning at the bakery Eugenio wants to know what was going on with Blanca crying all night. She will not talk.
In the sauna, Eugenio complains about Blanca's crying. Robert explains that his mother needs her space. Eugenio says that is why he has been silent for so long. He tells Robert that sometimes he feels like packing his bags and just leaving. Robert tells him not to talk like that. He knows that Eugenio could never leave his family. Eugenio adds that if he weren't a patient man he would have been gone years ago. He makes it clear that you stay for your children but marriage is not easy at all. Robert will understand when his grandchild is born.
In her kitchen, Blanca talks with Marisol. Things are going well for Marisol with her new job and she will be able to contribute to the household. Blanca is still hung up on Ignacio not supporting Frida. Marisol cannot be bothered or controlled by him anymore. She is doing it for herself and Frida.
Blanca wants to talk to Juan Pablo and Julieta. She stops short of knocking on the door amd just stands there crying.
At the same time, Julieta and Robert decide that they need to tell the whole family about the miscarriage.
Inside of their apartment, Imelda finds Blanca crying. Eugenio comes in and tries to find out what is going on but they still are not talking.
Daniela asks why Linda is going out with Cornelio. Daniela knows she will end up using him again. Daniela wants her to not end up being so depressed again. If she acts badly she will be feeling badly.
It is breakfast time, and everybody is there except for Robert and Julieta. Audifaz has an announcement. He is sure that Aristóteles will win the Olympics at his school. The door bell rings. It is Julieta and Robert.
Ana has arrived at breakfast with the gift of a stroller. At that point, Robert has an announcement of his own but they all start chatting about the baby when they see the stroller. Julieta finally makes a statement. They are grateful for the show of affection but their baby is not going to arrive. She cannot say more. Robert finishes. They have lost their baby. There is only shock and tears. Julieta leaves the table.
Ana wants to talk to Julieta alone because of her own experience with miscarriages. So, Ana does talk to Julieta and gives her her own twisted advice. If she were her, she would leave the country, get far away from Robert's family because the Córcega's will never forgive her. Julieta asks why. Ana continues. Little by little they are going to blame her for the loss of their grand child. If it turns out she is infertile, they will convince her that she is not the ideal wife for Robert. If she does not want to lose Robert, then she has to get away from his family. Julieta just listens.

“Julieta continues mourning the loss of her baby in the nursery remembering what she wrote to her unborn child” had me in tears. Again. Zuria Vega showed a pain that was far too raw and real.
My heart ached for Julieta having to be there as it was announced to the entire family that the baby was lost. Again, this could have been handled much differently but it apparent that Julieta and Robert are so consumed with grief, thoughtful logic is a far, distant second.
One of the few happy notes was when one of the servers told Dani she had a visitor, Africa, who of course was América. Nice touch writers!
Xavi must stand up for himself. Marisol cannot do it for him! Icknacio is going to rue the day he ever left Marisol for that heifer…
I was sorry that so much screen time was given to Cornelio, Linda, Bruno and Amalia. Oxygen wasters all.
So I’ve said all along that I would never forgive Ana. However, when she rushed to Julieta’s side, for a brief, fleeting moment I thought, maybe she can somewhat atone for what she is done by comforting Julieta and letting her know she truly feels her pain. Nopis. “Little by little they are going to blame her for the loss of their grandchild. If it turns out she is infertile, they will convince her that she is not the ideal wife for Robert”. Vitriol. Pure vitriol.
"The Snake in the Grass Emerges" could not have been more perfect. And more true. Thank you Jarifa!

Ana was the very worst, wasn't she? I could not believe what she said to Julieta. If she had been good intentioned, she could have filled her in on how the Córcegas handled her miscarriages another time and another place even with Robert present. She clearly is still trying to get Julieta and Robert out of there. If Robert is going to recognize her, I hope it is soon.
I sure agree on your "oxygen wasters". None of them have learned anything..
I felt there was a lot of filler in this episode. I thought Blanca was crying too much. And I don't care about Linda, Corny, Bruno, Amelia and Enzo.
I liked Gabi going off on America. How can Dani not realize he is in love with her?
I'm in the complete minority about Ana on this one. I actually think she was trying to help Juli. Ana had at least 5 miscarriages and you know that Imelda and the family went after her after every one, destroying her and trying to end her relationship with Tulio. Why wouldn't she think that piece by piece they will take this out on Juli? After all, Blanca has already admitted/told Juli she wanted a different kind of woman for Rob.
Another stellar performance by our protags...Julieta sitting consoling Robert was a tear jerker. THey really do need to move away from that family...maybe not as far as Ana would wish, but they do need their privacy and time to console each other without any turbulence.
Diana, "oxygen wasters" was great and right on the bull's eye!
Jarifa, " If she had been good intentioned, she could have filled her in on how the Córcegas handled her miscarriages another time and another place even with Robert present." ITA, though Ana knows perfectly well what Imelda is capable of, she should have waited tot alk to both of them...and maybe even have Tulio present so he can related his own experience.
Carvivlie, Gabi was truly great..and how could Dani resist that wink...OMG, I would have melted.
That was such a sad episode to get through. I appreciate the work of the actors so much. I felt like I was with them crying. I just wanted to hug both of them tightly. Amazing job.
Diana: "Oxygen wasters" haha that's a good one! I'd like to add Ana, Julian and Ignacio to the list....I can't believe I was actually thinking Ana had actual sympathy inside of her. I thought she would help Julieta....no she just instilled more fear into her. UGH!
It was so nice /not/ seeing Ignacio......I can't believe he's on my screen again. SpanProf I hope you're right and Marisol takes both him and the manager down. I would like to see both succeed career-wise too.
Gabriel's speech about all the wonderful things that make Daniela unique/one of a kind was beautiful. He sees it! He sees what we all see: How amazing she truly is. I hope he realizes his feelings for her now. Come on! Dani looked taken aback. I hope she's starting to see that Gabriel likes her. Or maybe she's finding a hard time believing she does.
-Jackie
Carvivlie, there was a lot of filler. Everyone was crying on and on. Of course that made it shorter to recap. : )
RgvChick, I think Ana would be happy if Julieta left and then Robert would be forced to follow her and would be out of Ana's way and off of her conscience.
SpanProf, I sure hope that Marisol can take down Xavi's manager. I wonder if Ignacio will find out that Begoña is not so into him as he thinks.
Jackie, you very well may be right about Daniela not being able to believe that Gabriel really does like her. I loved his description of her, too..
I've got Ana in the "misery loves company" category. Plus, ITA she wants Julieta to take off so she and Robert don't discover her betrayal. Though Blanca can be trying, I don't think she joined in with Imelda's urging Tulio to dump his barren wife.
Gabriel and América's backup "singers" were a hoot.
Diana, I love "oxygen wasters" and agree with Jackie's addition to the list.
IMHO, Dani's lack of self confidence and self esteem, when it comes to men (and her life in general) is why she can not see that Gab likes her. It will probably take a bulldozer for her to see it.
Ana ..... good points about her trying -yet again- to get Juls and RobPab to leave town, and also that she has "been there, done that" with the Córsega family and miscarriages. I'm going to call that one a draw. ��
������������
I really like Rob and Julieta supporting one another in their grief.
I am wondering why Marisol didn't even think to ask which restaurant he went to or the name of the nice man there. Since her husband works in a restaurant, I wonder why it wouldn't occur to her to ask the name of the restaurant. I sure would!
These last few episodes have been so sad, they are hard to watch. If any of us here have ever suffered miscarriages, you know exactly what I mean.
doris, the emojis are sometimes a problem but I do love your Halloween ones. ITA about the bulldozer being needed.
LaPaloma, Ana is just such a lost cause and poisons the waters wherever she goes.
Cynthia, LOL you and me both would, have found out the name of the restaurant.
