Caray, Caray!

Juana has no idea if the man getting hit on the phone was Ramon or not and continues to cry. Vicente looks at her solemnly but has no idea what to say.

Chava smiles and then asks about Dario but Rulo shrugs it off. He tells Chava that he will tell him later, if anything.

In his office, Porfirio gives Veronica the demand documents to look over and she chides him for even involving Cresta, who could buy information as they please, because the truth crime was Margarita selling their firm’s information to Cresta and not Cresta buying it. Porfirio reminds her that it takes two to tango and Margarita is as responsible as Cresta. Either way, if the demand proceeds, they can use the leverage to reopen the fraud case against Cresta. Veronica tells him to do as he wishes but he is risking the firm’s reputation on this demand. Porfirio doesn’t agree, and Veronica leaves it at that. She tells him that, lately, they can’t agree on anything and leaves.

In the shop, Fabiola asks Dalia if she’s finished the work she assigned her, but Dalia shakes her head.

Once alone, Dalia chides Fabiola for forgetting Ramon so quickly, despite the fact he’s kidnapped.

Pedro visits Margarita in her new office at his firm and asks her how she’s settled. Margarita tells him that she’s great and Pedro apologizes for not coming to see her sooner, but he was with Juana earlier, who is negotiating Ramon’s release. Just then, Pedro gets a call from Juana, who tells him that she heard someone screaming for someone to help him, but they couldn’t recognize if it was Ramon or not. Pedro then asks to speak to Vicente, who tells him they heard nothing more than punches and screams. He suggests they tell the police and Pedro tells him that he is on his way and hangs up. He informs Margarita and then instructs her to talk to Celia about any cases she can help on. Margarita thanks him and he leaves.

Juana begs Vicente to not call the police, but he assures her that his department is specialized in rescuing victims without their kidnappers hurting them. Just then, Julio arrives and introduces him to Vicente. He then asks if she spoke to Juana and Juana tells him that she might of but doesn’t know. She’s worried though because Vicente wants to inform the police and she’s scared they will risk Ramon’s life to capture the kidnappers. Vicente assures her they won’t, and Julio tells her that many families pay the ransom and they still don’t see the victim. Juana begins to cry at the thought of not seeing Ramon again, but Julio only wanted to remind her of the stakes. He then gives her a big hug and Juana cries on his shoulder.

The man who rescued Ramon and Sofia goes back to the crash site but finds Dario is gone. He then goes back to the cabin and looks around but finds it empty. He leaves in a hurry before Dario or anyone else shows up.

Fredesvinda prepares lunch for Adalgiza and Benito. Fredesvinda takes the opportunity to ask about Valente and Adalgiza plays along. She tells her that he hasn’t asked her out yet, but he will because he’s a nice man from Tijuana. At this, Benito’s ears perk up and he asks her if Valente is a tall man with a mustache because, if it is, he lives with Luisa and is friends with Ramon, Juana’s son. Adalgiza confirms his description and Fredesvinda laughs at the coincidence though Benito thinks he may be a little young for her. Fredesvinda thinks age is just a number, and mentions Liboria as an example, and Benito agrees before announcing that he must go out and leaving. Adalgiza chides Fredesvinda for her plan because Benito only laughed at her but Fredesvinda asks her to be patient as she has personally chosen her to be Benito’s wife. At the thought, Adalgiza slightly cringes.

Jorge meets Sara at the university cafeteria and he asks her about Andrea. Jorge tells her that he left to class, but Sara is tired of his and Andrea’s verbal spats. She’s sure Andrea sees him as more than cousin, but Jorge thinks she’s being ridiculous. After a moment, Sara agrees and apologizes because she couldn’t bear it if he left her. Jorge doesn’t say anything, just leaves to go to the bathroom, and Sara takes the opportunity to send a text message to Andrea from his phone saying how much she loved the night they spend together and how he wants to spend every waking moment with her. Sara smiles to herself, satisfied.

In the University hallway, Andrea receives the text message and reads it, incredulous. She assumes he sent it to her by mistake and curses Jorge for declaring his love while still sleeping with Sara.

During lunch, a distracted Fabiola barely acknowledging Francisco, who tells her that he found a good scholarship at an Ontario hospital. Fabiola comes back to Earth and asks Francisco is Ontario is not too far. He thought she wanted to be far, but he will do whatever she decides though she only has a week because he must give the director an answer. Fabiola considers this for a second, but Francisco continues to push forward and asks her to marry him and then they can go start their new lives in Canada. He shows her pictures of the city and tells her it would be a great place to raise their children though Fabiola thinks he’s moving too fast. Francisco reminds her that she wanted to forget everything that happened and Fabiola nods, after a second, and agrees to marry him. Francisco stands up and gives her a crushing hug before telling her that they should talk to her family today. Fabiola pushes him off and tells him that she’d rather not tell them as they will think she is going too fast. Francisco reminds her that they were once in love and dated for two years so no one should say anything. Fabiola doesn’t need her family’s consent to marry him though and insists they do it ASAP. Francisco agrees to go to the courthouse to set the appointment after lunch. He smiles but Fabiola is far from happy.

Pedro arrives at the sisters’ apartment and goes to Juana and Julio. Everyone but Juana wants to call the police, but she is unsure because they have no idea who the kidnappers are. Pedro reminds her that the police have better resources to find Ramon and she should accept their help. After a beat, Juana agrees, and Pedro asks Vicente to come with them to the station. Julio prefers to go to work in the meantime and tells Juana he will call her later. Juana then goes to get her purse, so they can go.

Ramon beings to wake up and recognizes Sofia though he wants to know where they are. Sofia explains that some good Samaritans helped them, and they are in their house. Ramon looks around and explains he only remembers that they were in trouble and were escaping from her father though he doesn’t know how long ago that was. He confesses that he’s very confused but he’s happy they are together. Sofia can only look at him and smile as Ramon holds her hand and explains that he’s was dreaming their love story and then he heard her voice and she guarded him to the light and back to life. He tells her that he loves her, and Sofia kisses him as Ramon smiles up at her.

As Fredesvinda watches TV with Benito and Adalgiza, she wonders what she can do to speed things up between them. She asks Benito to go get her some sweets and then suggests Adalgiza go with him and they can stop and have a drink or a coffee on the way. Benito reminds her that she wants sweets and Adalgiza tries to go change but Fredesvinda suggests they go right now and they both agree. Once alone, Fredesvinda takes out her sweets, which she realizes she will have plenty of, and congratulates on a job well done.

That night, Juana comes out of the police with Vicente and Pedro. Pedro asks if she feels better but Juana is still worried that Ramon will be hurt if the kidnappers find out she called the police. Vicente assures them again that they won’t because the police are professionals and Juana hopes it all works out. Juana then gets a call from Julio and tells him what is going on.

As Sofia caresses his arm, Ramon asks her how they escaped from her father’s men and reminds her that they must go to Mexico City and find his mother. At this Sofia asks him to tell her the last thing he remembers, and Ramon tells her that they were in a hotel and he went out to look for work and he assumes her father’s men grabbed him then. He doesn’t remember much after that. Sofia explains that he got hit on the head and is struggling to remember but he needs to rest now so he can get better.

Adalgiza and Benito come out of the bakery and Benito asks if she’s mad at him because he thought she was too old for Valente. Adalgiza thinks that he thinks she’s a spinster, but Benito thinks she’s still good looking for a woman of her age. Adalgiza is shocked he would say such a thing and turns her head, offended. Benito pinches her cheek, so she can smile just as Luisa comes and sees them. From afar, she sees Benito pry a smile out of Adalgiza and it brings tears to her eyes. Just then, Finito arrives and Luisa throws herself in his arms and cries loudly. She confesses that her heart is broken because of a scoundrel, loud enough for Benito to hear, and Finito takes out a handkerchief to wipe her tears. As Benito and Adalgiza watch, Finito declares his eternal love for Luisa. Luisa hugs him tight as Benito and Adalgiza storm off. Once alone, Luisa wipes her tears and Finito asks if he did okay. Luisa is confused so Finito confesses that he knows Benito is the man she’s in love with and only used him to make Benito jealous. Luisa is shocked.

Francisco calls Fabiola and tells her that, if they go take out their blood tomorrow, they can have their results tomorrow afternoon, so they can get married sooner. They agree to meet tomorrow after Francisco’s shift and then go get breakfast. Fabiola nervously says goodbye as Antonio walks into her office and asks her who she was talking to. Fabiola tells him that it was Francisco and Antonio tells her to be careful as a rebound is not the best way to get over someone. Fabiola shrugs off his comment but Antonio reminds her that he only wants what’s best for her. He then gets a call from Roxana and bids Fabiola goodbye. Once alone, Fabiola declares that a rebound will help her get over Ramon.

Finito walks Luisa home and asks her to not feel comfortable because he knows the truth. He thinks Benito is a lucky guy to have her love, but Luisa shakes her head and tells him that everything is over between them. Finito thinks she should try a different strategy, other than making him jealous, because a love like hers and Benito’s shouldn’t wither over a simple kiss that didn’t matter. Luisa wishes Benito would think like that but Finito asks her to be strong and press forward. Luisa nods and thanks him for his help. Finito smiles and tells her to be strong for tomorrow. At this, they say goodbye and Luisa goes inside her house.

On the way back home, Benito chides himself for ever loving Luisa as the supposed “mistaken kiss” she told him about was a lie. Adalgiza can’t deny that Luisa and Finito were looking cozy but reminds him that he could be misinterpreting things. At that moment, she remembers Fredesvinda words to take advantage of the breakup and win Benito over. She immediately course corrects and tells Benito to stop thinking about Luisa, who isn’t worth it, while caressing his face. Benito curses Luisa for wasting 5 years of his time but Adalgiza tells him to focus on himself and find a new love like her. At that moment, she kisses him deeply and then asks if he liked it. Benito did but he doesn’t love her like she would like him too. Adalgiza thinks they should give each other an opportunity but Benito thinks it’s late and they need to get home. As they walk back, Benito wonders what he will do now that Adalgiza confessed her feelings as she smiles because he didn’t reject her even though he may not be ready for a new relationship.

Sofia talks with the wife of the man who saved them about Ramon’s amnesia. The wife is sure he will start to remember soon enough but Sofia would hate for him to remember he loves Fabiola and no longer loves her. She tells the woman the whole story and wonders if she should tell Ramon the truth. At the moment, the man comes back and tells them that he couldn’t find the doctor, who is coming back in two days, though his wife tells him Ramon is doing better. He then tells them that he went back to the van and found that Dario had left, which worries Sofia, who thinks he can come looking for them soon. The man reminds her that Ramon is still sick and needs his rest. He promises to help them should Dario show up. Just then, Ramon asks Sofia to come to his side and she does as does the man, who is surprised to see Ramon doesn’t remember him. Ramon, however, remembers when the man rescued them and helped them escape from Sofia’s father. Sofia looks at the man and then lays her head down next to Ramon.

In his apartment, Julio drinks and wonders what to do about Pedro, who is stuck to Juana like gum. He then receives a call from Emilia, who invites him to the casino and then her house. They agree to meet at 11pm and he hangs up as Andrea comes over and asks him about Jorge. Julio invites her to sit as Jorge is not there yet and Andrea asks if he knows anything about Juana. Julio tells her that she finally went to the police and Andrea hopes Ramon is returned, safe and sound, as Juana has been a nervous wreck. Julio then asks about Fabiola and Andrea tells him she’s doing better as Jorge arrives. He is surprised to find Andrea there and Julio lets them talk as he goes to check on Juana. Once alone, Andrea chides Jorge for declaring his love for her when he had slept with Sara. Jorge is confused, and Andrea reveals that she received the text message he meant to send Sara and reads it to him with tears in her eyes. Jorge tells her that he didn’t send the message but wants to know at what time he sent it. He realizes that it was when he was with Sara in the cafeteria and she must’ve sent it when he went to the bathroom. Andrea doesn’t care who sent it, the point is what the message said, but Jorge tells her that he has never slept with Sara. Andrea doesn’t believe him either way and storms out. Once he’s alone, Jorge curses Sara.

Julio goes to visit Juana and finds that the police have already set up their device to record any calls between Juana and the kidnappers. She hopes everything will be okay soon as the police ask her for her cell phone, so they can set up the recording and tracing devices. Julio then hugs Juana tries to give her strength.

Chava and Rulo arrive at his apartment and they continue to wonder where Dario might be as he has not answered one of his calls. Chava thinks he should visit Dario to see if everything’s okay but Rulo reminds that they must call Juana first as they are going to win a lot more money from the ransom than from finding Dario. Chava agrees.

As everyone waits around, Juana’s phone begins to ring, and the police asks everyone to be quiet as they set up their devices. They then instruct Juana to answer and Rulo asks her if she’s going to pay or if they will have to tell her where to find his body. Juana begs him to let her talk to Ramon but Rulo warns her to pay or else. Juana agrees to pay and Rulo tells her that he will call later with instruct. One he’s hung up, the police tell everyone that they couldn’t trace the call but, from the little they heard, they can deduce that the kidnappers are not professionals. Either way, since they haven’t been able to speak to Ramon, it’s likely that the kidnappers don’t have Ramon or he’s already dead. Juana hopes this isn’t the case.

Antonio arrives at Roxana’s and is greeted by Diego, who tells him that Roxana is feeling bad and pulls him to the bedroom. Roxana is writhing in pain on the bed as Antonio arrives and asks if she’s bled. Roxana confirms she has and Antonio pulls out his phone to call the doctor. After a short phone call, they help Roxana get up, so they can go to the hospital.

Over dinner, Fermin and Zenaida (the couple who have helped Sofia and Ramon) are happy to see he’s doing better and eating more regularly. He confesses that he still feels dizzy and his head still hurts but is slowly getting better. Sofia nods and thanks Fermin and Zenaida for all their help before Ramon invites them to visit when he and Sofia are married. Sofia stops short and Ramon tells Zenaida that her cooking reminds her of his mother, Juana. He sighs, remembering.

In Fredesvinda’s room, Adalgiza tells her about the kiss she gave Benito. Fredesvinda is happy that she took the bull by the horns and is being more proactive. She tells Adalgiza to hurry and seduce him but Adalgiza is hesitant as she doesn’t want Benito to think she is a loose woman. Fredesvinda thinks she needs some help and offers to give Benito some of her herbs so he can fall in love with her. Adalgiza is wary but Fredesvinda explains that it’s natural and she’ll be fine.

Julio and Pedro say goodbye to Juana for the night and leave as Andrea kisses Juana goodbye and goes to her room. Juana then tells the police that she needs a moment alone and goes to her room to pray for Ramon’s safe return and the strength to survive the anxiety she feels. She beings to cry then.

Andrea calls Fabiola and tells her about the call with the kidnappers. She is worried that Ramon may be dead, but Fabiola doesn’t care as she still thinks the kidnapping is all a sham to get money out of Juana. Andrea wonders if it’s true but Fabiola doesn’t want to talk about Ramon anymore and hangs up as Margarita comes and asks her why she’s mad. Fabiola tells her but Margarita wonders if she’s just being evasive. Fabiola decides to go to bed as she’s had enough Ramon talk for one night.

As Ramon and Sofia lay next to each other, he jokes that he should’ve left her in the church if he knew their love was going to be so complicated. Sofia looks at him for a moment as Ramon smiles, but she doesn’t say anything. He tells her that his mother will help him when they get to Mexico City and they won’t have to worry about her father again. He promises that they will be happy, but Sofia tells him to rest for the time being. Ramon truly looks at her for the first time and asks her how she is feeling as she seems absent or doubtful of being with him. Sofia shakes her head and Ramon asks her to tell him she loves him because he needs her to say it aloud. Sofia tells him she loves him, more than her own life…
