Caray, Caray!

Hortensia overhears Francisco plans with Fabiola but commits the cardinal sin of confronting Francisco, who takes matters into his own hands and sedates her, while an unsuspecting Luisa texts Benito out in the living room. When Hortensia’s asleep, Francisco explains to Luisa that she was complaining about some pain so sedated her. Luisa understands as Hortensia is insufferable and Francisco asks if she will be staying the night. Luisa explains that Julio will take care of Hortensia throughout the night and Francisco offers to stay and wait so he can explain Hortensia’s condition. He is worried about the pain Hortensia complained about and the cold. He then goes to check on her as Luisa prays that Hortensia doesn’t blame her for her woes.

At the casino, Julio loses another roulette swing and leaves the table. He then receives a call from Luisa who tells him the situation with Hortensia and asks if he’s on his way, so Francisco can explain. Julio tells her yes and hangs up.

After the tour of the grounds, Juana is ecstatic about the possibly of owning a vegetable garden (huerta). Andrea admits that she loves the country, even though she grew up in the city, and Juana tells him that he can take off the” for sale” sign as they are buying it. The owner is happy to hear it and Juana hugs Andrea.

Francisco calls Fabiola to tell her the situation with Hortensia. Fabiola is worried and offers to tell Margarita as well, so they can meet at Hortensia’s and go over her condition. Once Francisco’s hung up, he tells himself that she will not be saved for being a nosy, old bitty.

Fabiola calls margarita to tell her about Hortensia and they agree to meet at the apartment.

Sometime later, Valente arrives home when he finds dinner, prepared by Dalia, waiting for him. Since Ramon went to go see Juana, they will dine by themselves. Dalia asks Valente about his day and he tells her that he is finally learning about cars and Dalia confesses that her life would be boring if he wouldn’t have taken her out to the bar the other day. Valente asks if the fight was exciting as well and Dalia laughs but Valente confesses that he will defend any woman that is insulted because that is not how you talk to one. Dalia bats her eyes and wonders how you do talk to women. Valente smiles and explains that you tell them nice things and bring them flowers and treat them with respect. Dalia asks if he would do that for her and Valente confesses that he would, if he loved her. Dalia shrinks away, and Valente kicks himself for making things awkward.

Francisco sits down with Hortensia’s children and Fabiola and explains that Hortensia’s condition could worsen but they must monitor the situation before considering hospitalization. He offers to take care of her at home and go from there. Margarita thanks him for all his help but Francisco tells her that it is his pleasure.

Luisa goes to tell Juana what happened with Hortensia and she worries that she got worse because she bathe her with cold water. She worries that they will blame her if Hortensia dies but Juana tells her not to worry. Luisa then asks about Ramon, but Juana hasn’t seen him recently. Luisa nods and confesses that they are asking for her hand in marriage soon. Juana assumes that she and Benito are back together, but Luisa tells her it is Finito. Juana shrinks back, confused.

Julio asks everyone who will stay with Juana and Margarita offers but Francisco would prefer to stay the night. Fabiola offers to stay with him and she and Margarita to go the kitchen to make some sandwiches.

Ramon arrives and greets Juana and Luisa. Juana tells Ramon that Luisa will be married soon, and he congratulates her before telling Juana that he found an apartment about two blocks from the shop, so they can go look at it. Juana reveals that Andrea didn’t leave so she won’t move out. In fact, they are buying a vegetable garden. Ramon didn’t know his mother would like to own one but he’s happy nonetheless. He then asks Luisa if he can rent the room at her house, like before, and Luisa nods. Ramon then offers to take Luisa home and she will go but wants to say goodbye to everyone at Hortensia’s first. She goes off and Juana asks Ramon what is wrong, and he tells her that she knows what is wrong but there is nothing he can do. She nods and then gives him her blessing and he goes to wait for Luisa outside.

Luisa arrives at Hortensia’s as Margarita is leaving. She asks about Hortensia and Francisco explains that the sedative will leave her sleeping all night. She offers to stay but Julio tells her that Fabiola and Francisco will stay the night. She then goes to pick up some things around the house as Julio leaves and Fabiola goes to park the car in the garage. Once alone, Francisco vows to find a way to get rid of Hortensia.

Antonio is watching TV when Margarita texts him to ask if Diego is asleep. Antonio answers he is so Margarita asks him to open the door because she’s outside. He smiles, open the door and kisses Margarita, passionately.

Fabiola finds Ramon in the lobby of the building and he asks if she’s happy. Fabiola declares that there is no reason she shouldn’t be, and Ramon confesses that he has his doubts because of the night they spent together. Fabiola declares that the night they spent together was a mistake and Ramon can’t believe how cold she’s become. Fabiola tells him that it is the way she is since he left her at the alter and storms off. Ramon can’t believe he ever believed Fabiola’s words when she told him she loved him.

In her car, Fabiola chides herself for loving Ramon, still, even if he’s a hypocrite and a liar. Just then, Jorge pulls up with Andrea behind Fabiola and she thinks she sees them kissing but quickly shakes her head at the thought. She watches as the building gates open and Jorge drives inside.

Osvaldo loses, once again, at the roulette table and he curses his luck as Ofelia arrives and tells him that not every night is lucky. He smiles at her and then they decide to go to the bar for a drink.

Benito arrives home and Adalgiza chides him for not answering her calls. He explains that his phone had no battery and she nods before asking if he wants dinner. Benito tells her that he had some tacos and she thinks he’s avoiding her, so she apologizes for what happened last night. He tells her that things are okay but he’s going to sleep because he’s tired. Adalgiza then texts Finito and begs him to talk to her because, if not, she will go crazy. In his room, in the dark, Benito wonders what he will do now.

At the casino bar, Osvaldo wonders why Ofelia comes if she doesn’t gamble. Ofelia explains that she goes to forget her problems and distract herself. Osvaldo wonders what problems a beautiful woman like her could have and goes to touch her hand but she shies away and tells him that there are a lot of prying eyes around them. Osvaldo suggests they go elsewhere but Ofelia tells him she’s not easy and walks away after thanking him for the drink.

In bed, Margarita tells Antonio that she will be coming late at night more often. Antonio is happy to hear it, as he missed her, and then kisses her. Just then, Diego calls for him and he goes to see what the problem is. Margarita will wait for him in bed.

Juana tells Andrea and Jorge what happened with Hortensia and they go visit her. Moments later, Fabiola opens the door for them and tells them they can visit her because it doesn’t seem she’s getting better. Once alone, Fabiola remembers what she saw but shakes her head because Jorge and Andrea are cousins.

Benito, having finally turned on the lights in his room, decides that he can be happy too, like Luísa. He gets up and goes to the living room to find Adalgiza but finds her gone.

Adalgiza is at the sub shop, crying, as Finito tries to console her. She thanks him for agreeing to see her and he tells her that their friendship is first. Adalgiza can’t stop crying though and she suddenly throws herself into Finito’s arms though she doesn’t notice how uncomfortable he looks.

Ramon gets home and goes to his room. Valente is awake and asks him how things went with Fabiola. Ramon confesses that things couldn’t be worse because Fabiola all but confirmed what he thought: she doesn’t love him anymore and probably never did. Valente suggests he move on, possibly with one of the many female clients that go to the shop. Ramon is doubtful though.

Adalgiza confesses that she has tried everything for love, even some morally questionable things, and nothing has worked. Finito thinks everything is fair in love and war but nothing is going the way she imagined. Finito suggests she give the object of her desire some space and see how he goes back to her. Adalgiza thanks him again for his help and kisses him on the cheek before leaving.

Jorge bids Andrea and Fabiola good night and leaves. Once alone, Andrea thinks that Francisco is being a real gentleman and Fabiola agrees, when it comes to medicine. Andrea asks if it’s not the same way at home and then asks, direct, if she’s happy with Francisco. Fabiola confesses that she’s trying and then reveals that she thought she saw her and Jorge kissing in his car outside. Andrea is shocked that she would say such a thing, but Fabiola is doubtful.

Jorge arrives home and finds Julio trying to call Osvaldo to no avail. Julio tells Jorge that Osvaldo has become impossible to deal with, but Jorge thinks it’s his own fault because he never set limits, not like he did with him. Julio asks if he’s going to reproach him, but Jorge shakes his head before confessing that he did think Julio didn’t love him. He shrugs his shoulders and leaves as Julio goes to open the door for Juana. She found out what happened with Hortensia and wanted to check up on him. Julio is worried that his mother may not make it this time and Juana offers her full support. Julio is doubtful though as she hasn’t shown her support and he feels very alone. He suggests she show him how much she loves him, and Juana asks him how. Julio whispers sweet nothings in her ear but Juana tells him that she will do no such thing under his roof and storms off. Julio curses his luck.

The next morning, Adalgiza is working on breakfast when Benito comes and asks her where she was last night. Adalgiza asks if he cares but Benito doesn’t so Adalgiza tells him breakfast is served. Benito isn’t hungry though and leaves. Once alone, Adalgiza tells herself that she will give Benito his space and then attack.

Osvaldo sits down with Julio, who asks him when he arrived yesterday. Osvaldo tells him that he was home before him and he needs another $5,000 pesos. Julio warns him that he won’t give him money whenever he wants, especially after the money he just gave him, but Osvaldo warns him that he can show Juana the picture of him and Emilia. Julio dares him to do so and the he will be out of the street and who knows where he will end up.

On the way to school, Andrea is too quiet, and Jorge asks her what she is thinking about. Andrea reveals that Fabiola saw them kissing last night and Jorge asks her where and Andrea explains that it was outside the building. Jorge thinks they should tell her the truth, it’s time, but Andrea reminds him that she probably won’t be okay with it and neither will their family. She reiterates that she loves him though and they kiss.

Francisco drops off Fabiola at the shop and tells her that he will pick her up alter so they can go sign the papers for the clinic and will also hire a nurse for her grandmother. Fabiola nods but barely hears him as she is too busy looking at Ramon across the street. As Ramon looks at her, Francisco grabs Fabiola and kisses her. When he lets her go, Ramon has gone inside the shop and he smiles to himself, satisfied, as Fabiola walks away.

Osvaldo looks up Ofelia online and finds that she attends important events, so she must be rich. Perfect.

Ramon is crying when Valente comes and asks him what is wrong. Ramon confesses that he shouldn’t have agreed to buying the shop in front of Fabiola’s because it will kill him to see her every day, her stomach getting bigger with a baby that isn’t his, but Valente thinks it’s time to move on and suggests he give Sofia a chance. Ramon thinks that would be unfair, but Sofia arrives then and bids them good morning. Ramon can’t hide his tears, but Sofia decides not to push it and goes to work as she has a lot to do.

Roxana meets Daniel at a restaurant and he suggests she accompany him to Rome as not all his time will be for work and they can go shopping or to various shows. She agrees immediately and asks him when they leave. He tells her tomorrow and Roxana will hurry to get things ready.

Francisco calls his friend that works at the notary and they agree to meet tomorrow to sign the documents. He thanks him and hangs up, smiling. Rebeca, the blond nurse, knocks on the door soon after and begins to undress but Francisco has other plans: he needs a nurse of his complete confidence to take care of Fabiola’s grandmother. He tells her that she can keep her job at the hospital too and the old lady won’t last long either way. Rebeca agrees, and they kiss to seal before Rebeca leaves.

Juana receives a call from the owner of the garden to meet at the notary tomorrow to sign the paperwork. Juana agrees and then receives a text from Julio, who tells her he misses her, before going to answer the door. It’s Luisa, who asks if she has any food because she’s starving. Juana does but she keeps receiving texts from Julio, who wanted to sleep with her last night, but she refused. Luisa wants more details and suggests they talk things over lunch.

Margarita meets with her client and they go over Porfirio’s offer. The client thinks it’s good, but he won’t accept unless all his conditions are met because the case is now personal. Margarita suggests he accept, as the case can go for years if he doesn’t, but the client refuses to accept. Margarita will relay the terms to Porfirio in that case and she leaves after a handshake.

Over lunch, Luisa tells Juana that she can’t believe she refused Julio’s offer as he seems like a tiger in bed. Juana chides her for saying so, and warns her not to say anything to anyone, but Luisa wants to know if they’ve talked about something more formal. Juana shakes her head, as Julio is currently mad because she refused to sleep with him, but Luisa tells her to invite him to her wedding. She smiles at Juana, but Juana is unsure of what to do.

In his office, Julio can’t believe Juana refused his advances. He will marry Juana though if that’s what it takes to manage her money. He then receives a work call and answers.

Sofia surprises Ramon with a sandwich, since he didn’t go out for lunch, and Ramon thanks her. She suggests he take a break and eat and Ramon accepts as Sofia asks him to come with her to pick a car. Ramon would be happy to and they discuss the kind of car she would like and how much she’s willing to spend. Sofia knows how to drive, at least, and Ramon explains the benefits of a manual car over the automatic as Sofia smiles at him.

Benito and Valente eat lunch at the park and Benito confesses that women are insufferable. He tries to move on from Luisa and now Adalgiza doesn’t want him either. Valente thinks he should win her back, as Adalgiza seems great, but Benito shrugs his shoulders. He declares that he will find someone else if Adalgiza doesn’t want him either. Valente laughs, as he didn’t know Benito was so popular with the ladies, and Benito tells him that he has his charms.

At her desk, Dalia thinks about Valente’s words last night but snaps out of it and declares that she will find someone as everyone is paired off by her. In fact, she will get with the next man who walks through the door of the shop. Turns out Lucho is the next man and Dalia slightly cringes. Lucho looks around, trying to find why she looks so uncomfortable, but Dalia fakes a cramp and Lucho nods before going to talk to Antonio in his office. A blond, handsome mechanic walks in next and she declares that he will be her next boyfriend. She looks at him seductively as she goes to get the oil he needs.

In Antonio’s office, Lucho shows Fabiola and Antonio the service reports, which have been noticeably down since all the women go to RamSo now, and Lucho assumes that it’s because they all like Ramon. Fabiola thinks that’s ridiculous and asks them to brainstorm a way to get their business back. Antonio thinks she should personally greet the clients, like Ramon does at his shop, but Fabiola storms off, mad. Lucho asks if he was serious and Antonio is but he asks Lucho to continue working hard and the clients will come back as they know which shop as the best service.

That night, Margarita goes to see Porfirio in his office to tell him that her client didn’t accept the terms he presented., Porfirio thinks his proposal was more than fair but Margarita shrugs. Porfirio thinks she didn’t try hard enough to get her client to accept but Margarita thinks he’s being unreasonable. Porfirio immediately apologizes but he’s had a very bad day. Margarita demands he be professional though, but Porfirio argues that he is, she just got used to special treatment when she worked with him. Margarita refuses to listen to him any longer and decides to leave. Porfirio apologizes again, as he’s very tired, but Margarita prefers to leave. Once alone, Porfirio wonders what is wrong with him.

Julio visits Hortensia and asks Francisco about her. He explains that she’s better from the cold, but they must keep her in observation. Andrea and Jorge arrive to take care of Hortensia as Rebeca calls Francisco to tell him that she will start working tomorrow. Francisco shares the news and Julio tells Luisa that she can stop taking care of Hortensia starting tomorrow. Luisa is happy to hear it and bids them a good night. Francisco and Fabiola leave then as Julio receives a call and walks out of the room. It’s Madre Anselma, who suggests he come to the convent as Betito is worse. He will be right there and screams to Jorge and Andrea that he will be back soon.

Sofia is going to sleep when Ramon knocks on the door and confesses that he was feeling lonely and wanted to know if she would like to go to dinner with him. Sofia slightly smiles at the invitation…
