Previously: Robert tells the family
that Imelda is stable but will need extreme care; how quickly she recovers will
depend on that. Everyone is happy as Robert tells them they should go home and get
some rest. Eugenio thanks Robert for being with them; and Blanca hugs and
thanks him too.
At the restaurant, Dani
thinks about Clarissa telling her that her relationship with Gabriel will not
last very long…and being called a tomboy/butch. She goes to Gabriel’s office,
so he asks what she’s doing there. She tells him her grandma is stable and she
is there to make up some hours. Gabi thinks she should be with her family, but
Dani also wants to talk to him. She wants him to listen to her without drama or
shows or anything else he tends to do when they have serious things to talk
about. Gabi denies putting on shows, but then concedes. Dani doesn’t want him
to have problems with his family because of her. She spent all her life
thinking that all her family’s sadness was because of her. She doesn’t want to
create problems for him. Neither of them are alone and she knows that his father
and sisters are important to him. Gabriel argues that she is more important. When
he admits that there are things spinning around inside his head making noise, Dani
comments that she doesn’t want to cause more noise, but he argues that he can resolve
them as long as she is with him. She is not, and will never be a problem for
him. He went through life not knowing where he was going or who to love. Then
he met her; and ever since then, he knows exactly where he is going and who he
loves…and it’s her.
At the Córsega’s, Blanca
tells Amalia that she should consider this her home. She will set up a space in
one of the rooms, but Amalia won’t be content with just any little space. Ever
since they were children, each had their own room. Amalia accepts, but will
sleep anywhere except in Imelda’s room. Blanca tells her not to be
disrespectful and notes that she didn’t even go to the hospital to ask about
Imelda. Blanca reminds her that this is not a hotel. If Belén and Aurelio
continue well, they will have to find her a nice place to live, though Amalia
thinks they want to organize her life as if she were a mere pet.
At the hospital, Juls
goes to see Robert. After they comment on Imelda’s improved health, she tells
him she is very proud of him. Robert responds that he feels his family seems so
alone; he hates to see them worried about the money problems. He asks about her
family, so Juls tells him things are getting better; she even gave her mother a
hug. She is so content with what’s happening with her family; it gives her
direction for her own life. When Juls mentions that she wants to talk to Blanca
because things were not well when she left and she would like things to be
completely cleared up, Robert comments that, for him, if she and his family get
along, it would be the biggest blessing.
Later as Juls is leaving,
Juls mentions to Robert that she wants them to go see Dave. Robert doesn’t
think it’s the best thing because Dave may get too attached to them, but Juls
can’t help but think about Dave. Rob assures her that there will be a family
who will want to adopt him. Juls understands but argues that, in the meantime,
she wants to help him…go visit him or something. Rob warns her that she might
hurt him more than help, but Juls promises that she will be careful and asks Rob
to support her. Rob then tells her he will think about it. He does think it is
a noble gesture …she has a big heart. They argue about who loves whom more
until Aris interrupts and asks to talk to Robert. When Juls asks if things are
ok, Aris responds “No, they want to expel me from school.” Robert then asks if
his parents know; and Aris just frowns and shakes his head.
At Ana’s house, Tulio
tells Audi that if he wants to leave he can, but Audi argues that he misled
him; they were supposed to meet the next day…he rushed over as quickly as he
could. Tulio has some clothes that he can give to Audi so he can come decently dressed
the next day. Audi tells him to leave that to him; he can get clothes on his
own. Tulio, however, tells the maid to get 5-6 suits that he no longer wears. Audi
wants to see them first, but Tulio tells him that they are fine clothes that
will surely fit him well; and it’ll be as when they were children when Audi
would get his hand-me-downs. These are brands that he only sees in magazines.
Audi asks about the type of work he will do and the pay. After Tulio assures
him that the work and payment will be good, Tulio reminds Audifaz that this
money will help him resolve his situation. Audi thinks he is talking about the
baby, but Tulio tells him that aside from that, Imelda owes him a lot of money.
Tulio knows that Audi lives in an apartment that his mother gave him and she
never charges him anything; they even take food from Blanca. Tulio also wants
to talk about Aris—how is he going to give him an education, what career will
he pursue, and what inheritance will Audi leave him.
Robert tells Aris not to
blame himself anymore; it should be clear to him now that he shouldn’t lie. When
Robert suggests that he continue his therapies, Aris wonders if those will help.
Rob insists that they will since he not only has problems with attention and
focus, but also has problems with self-esteem. Aris worries more about his
parents; they don’t have the money to pay for another school. Rob thinks they
should talk to the school director. Aris thinks he was stupid to have stolen
the exam, but Rob assures him he isn’t stupid. If he continues with the
therapy, he will stop seeing himself as his own enemy. He should think that
this is a lesson in life. Aris then asks about his grandmother, so Rob tells
him she should recuperate quickly. Aris misses her very much and asks to see her;
so Rob will allow him to see her in a while, but only for a few minutes.
At Gabriel’s office,
Gabriel thanks Juls for coming since he has no one else to talk to about his
problems…except for the bear. When he asks her to help him think of a unique name
for the bear, she suggests “Odious, Joker, Vain…,” but Gabriel wants her to be
serious. After Juls guesses that his family didn’t like Dani, he replies that
they not only didn’t like her, they rejected her and humiliated her; they also made
thousands of threats. Juls pauses and asks his to look for the positive things
instead of complaining. What good came from all of this? He responds that he
has realized that his family manipulates him, especially his father. He then
recalls her quoting Einstein who stated that one creates one’s own problems
without realizing it. The point is that since Dani came into his life, he has
been in turmoil...first the hitting, then the conflict between them since they
couldn’t tolerate each other. What is clear to him is that he is tired of his
father telling him what to do. Juls thinks a good name for the bear would be “fearful.”
She points out the he has always been afraid of what his father thinks of him
and of what would happen if he didn’t do as told. Gabriel agrees, but it’s not
that easy. She gives him homework and tells him to answer a question…what does
he want out of life…what are his expectations? Gabriel frowns and hopes he
doesn’t fail the assignment. Juls tells him to make a list of his dreams. What
does he want his life to be like in 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 years? Once he can answer
that, he will know what road he needs to take. Gabriel agrees and is going to
get her an apple to see if he gets extra points.
At the bakery, Eugenio
tells Xavi that it seems that the 7 plagues have befallen them—his mother’s
illness, the debts, and now he is becoming useless. Xavi thinks that problems
make a person stronger; and debts sometimes helps us make new friends, but Eugenio
tells him he has no idea how worried he is. The bakery is not bringing in
enough. When Xavi suggests they come up with something new, Eugenio thinks
about creating a new type of bread.
In Imelda’s hospital
room, Aris cries as he tells Imelda that he did what she told him…he told the
truth. He is afraid; though he knows it was the right thing to do. Aris would
love for her to give him a hug and wonders who is going to hug him when he
tells his parents the truth. Aris pleads with Imelda to get better soon.
At the Córsega home, Juls
wants Blanca to know that Juls is not her rival. If she left, it was because
she feared losing Robert. When Blanca admits that she also was afraid Juls
would take Rob away from her, Juls thinks there is no use in living in fear.
Blanca agrees. Juls has decided that she needs to be united with all of them;
she accepts that her boyfriend has a family. Linda passes and makes a snide
remark about how close they are now, like mother and daughter. Blanca tells Juls
not to mind Linda and wants to continue their conversation. Juls thinks she
will probably think the question she will ask her will sound very strange, but
first, she wants to know if there is anything good Blanca sees in her; or does Blanca
continue to see her as a bad person…stubborn... Blanca says, “No;” she sees
many good things in Juls—all the sacrifices she has made, her patience with
them, how she has changed…she has no doubt that she loves her son. Juls holds
Blanca’s hand and then tells her it’s time to ask her…”Do you want to marry
me?”
Blanca’s eyes almost pop
out as she tries to pull her hand away from Juls. Blanca doesn’t know how to
react; she asks what Juls is talking about. Juls explains that they say when people
get married, they don’t just marry their partner; they also marry the family.
After everything that has happened, including the cancellation of the wedding…and
once Imelda is out of the hospital, Juls wants to ask Robert to marry her.
Blanca is ecstatic and jumps with delight…that would make her very happy. She
is surprised at how modern Juls is…a woman proposing to man! After Juls
comments that sometimes women have to take the initiative, Blanca loves that
she has made that decision. Juls wants this time to be different; she wants all
the family to participate. When Juls asks Blanca if she can count on her
because if Robert accepts…, Blanca interrupts and says, “Of course, he will
accept!” Juls reiterates that if he accepts, she will be marrying his whole
family (as she grimaces). Blanca yells with happiness as she now understands
her question…it just sounded a little strange. Blanca grabs Juls’s hands and as
she jumps she says, “Of course I want to marry you. I want you to be part of
the family…Yes! Yes! I accept!” Juls tells her that’s all she needed to know
before moving ahead and asks Blanca not to tell Robert anything. Blanca, with
big smiles, jumps and continues to say, “Yes, I do; yes, I do!” as she hugs
Juls.
At the hospital, Robert
tells Tavo that Aris will need to resume his sessions. Aris might be expelled
from school for stealing a test. Tavo agrees, but tells Robert that the
decision to get better needs to come from Aris; it’s part of cognitive therapy.
Robert questions if Aris did this for attention, Tavo reminds him about
confidentiality. He just needs Aris to make the commitment. Robert tells him he
will make sure that happens.
As Tavo leaves, Daphne
approaches. She has been worried because ever since the kissing incident, he
has been very distant…and they have known each other for many years. Robert
emphasizes that he had to be clear with her; she knows he loves Juls. Daphne
understands and just wants to be his friend. She has truly realized that Juls
and he will always be together. When she tells him she doesn’t want to lose his
friendship, Robert agrees and shakes her hand (as the suspenseful music plays).
At the Córsegas, as Juls
leaves, she asks Blanca for one more favor…to teach her how to make bread so
she can help them out. She wants to help her and Eugenio so business at that
the bakery will pick up…and it’ll also be part of the surprise for Rob. Blanca
gladly agrees. Juls thanks her and reminds Blanca that she is a very valuable
person. Juls then asks for one last favor…that Blanca fight for everything she
wants out of life…and she offers to help her realize all the dreams she wants.
Blanca will keep it in mind, but after Juls leaves, she gets an apprehensive
look.
At Belén’s store, Amalia
can’t believe she has worked for such a long time and has nothing; she demands
her rights. The house they live in is not just Belén’s; their parents left it
to both of them. After Belén asks her to calm down, Amalia refuses because her
world is falling apart. Belén kicked her out for the infidel of her husband. Belén
states that Aurelio is no longer unfaithful, but assures Amalia that she will
not leave Amalia unprotected. She offers that they look at the accounts so they
can find a nice place, but Amalia just waves her off. When Hugo comes down, Amalia
tells him to learn from her---if he doesn’t to something now, tomorrow will be
too late. He should learn from them since they are older.
As Amalia walks upstairs,
she receives a call from Enzo who scolds her for not practicing enough for the
contest. He will be waiting for her. He wants her there now and will support
her till the very end.
Juls is at her apartment
with Luz and two other ladies who have gathered clothes and toys to donate to
the orphanage. When Luz comments that Juls has gotten attached to Dave, Juls
admits that she has. Though she has only seen him a few times, she cares deeply
about what happens to him.
At Polita’s, Audi is
about to cut his hair when Polita shouts that he shouldn’t because he could
lose his strength just as Samson did. Audi insists that he should cut it…it
would be a way of reinventing himself; he wants to say good-bye to failure and
mediocrity. He has to do it! Audi cuts off some hair as Polita screams.
Mari meets with Gabriel
and Dani to present her proposal for Xavi’s presentation including the signing
of autographs and a raffle so she can help with the costs. Gabriel is very
impressed with her business approach, but it's not necessary. She is very
appreciative and invites him to their house for dinner. Dani has already gone to
meet his family now he should too. Dani thinks they’ve had enough for now and
they are rushing things. She wonders if all relationships need to be so rushed,
but Gabriel very graciously tells “Ms. Osa” that he will definitely agree to go
have dinner. He tells Mari to convince her sister because he is more “on” than
a sock. After Mari leaves, Gab points out that he has an ally in Dani’s family.
Dani assures him that Mari will always side wither, but Gabriel emphasizes that
Mari will organize a gathering at her house…and he will look very handsome. Dani
thinks the perfect name for the bear is “Vain.” Gabriel likes the name—Vani Oso
Mussi Córsega!
At the orphanage, the
director receives the box of donations from Juls and her friends. When he
expresses his appreciation, Luz assures him that it will continue since
everyone at the company will be donating. As her friends go for the rest of the
boxes, Juls gives the director a canvas hoping that it will be a distraction for
Dave. The director hopes so because he worries about Dave…it’s like as if he
were mute. He spends hours without talking or without interacting with anyone.
He thinks he is very depressed. Juls will tell Rob and asks for Dave who is out
in the hall looking at the moon…something he likes to do. Juls goes to Dave who
is happy to see her and hugs her. She sits with him on the bench and gives him his
present. She tells him she will help him fill it in, but Dave doesn’t know how
to paint. Juls assures him she will teach him. He reads the note “To David, an
angel in my life” She tells him he showed her that they have to be courageous
and he is the most courageous person she knows so she wants to keep learning from
him. They think about what they can paint so Dave suggests a sea with lots of
sun and many palm trees—he has only seen them on TV. When he kisses her, she
puts her arm around him and smiles as they look at the moon together.
At the restaurant, Clarissa
and Cassandra enter Gabi’s office, so Gabi asks what the beasts want. When Clarissa
tells him they came looking for their brother, Gabi wonders if there is a lost
brother somewhere. Cassandra laughs and tells him they are there to make sure
he finds his way. Dani listens at the door. Gabriel demands that they stop putting
thoughts in his head. The food there is very good; and it is the manager who
says so. Clarissa sneers that is why they are there—as long as he continues
with his little girl/boy/carpenter/ waitress, his reign at the restaurant is
over. Cassandra and she will take charge of the restaurant. Dani is dismayed. Clarissa
tells Gabriel he shouldn’t bother calling his father since it was his father’s idea.
Gabriel doesn’t know what’s happening to all the Mussis; they are going crazy.
Cassandra adds that he will continue to work there, but under their
supervision. They will come up with his role. Clarissa mocks that destiny is
laughing at him.
At their apartment, Juls
compliments Robert on his cooking, He mentions there are other things he does
well…like kissing, so they kiss to confirm. He then brings up her visit to the
orphanage; so she tells him that she did go and was touched with Dave; he
hugged her so tightly. Robert is concerned about the strong bond she is creating
with Dave, but Juls wants to have that strong tie. Robert is concerned that if
he has difficulty trying to keep his distance, they will have even more
difficulty; someone will adopt him. Juls still wants to be his friend and will
always want to be his friend wherever he goes; she promised Dave she would be
near him and she will do it. Robert then asks how she will feel when they take
him away; she will suffer. Juls hopes someone in Oaxaca will adopt him so she
can see him; meanwhile, she wants to have the privilege of being near him. They
shouldn’t stop living for fear of suffering. As they kiss, the doorbell rings.
Juls thinks it’s Blanca who is coming to teach her how to make bread…so she can
help out the family too. Blanca and she have been getting along better. Robert
can’t believe it…she and Blanca together.
At the restaurant,
Gabriel sits at a table looking worried as Dani goes to ask Gabriel if he is
well. He signals yes, but Dani noticed his worried look. Gabriel tells her that
the only thing that preoccupies him…or rather occupies him, is that she love
him and that she be at his side. When he calls her “osito,” Dani takes note since
he has never said it that way and tells him she will always be there; she isn’t
going anywhere. That’s the only thing that is important to Gabriel. They hug
tightly.
At the bakery, Blanca and
Julieta are in their baker outfits as Blanca gives Juls her first lesson and
Juls takes notes. As Blanca continues, Juls looks overwhelmed.
Time-lapse:
At Ana’s house, a made-over Audi (wow!) meets with Tulio. Amalia and Enzo
practice for the contest. Juls spends time teaching Dave to draw. Imelda
continues her recovery. Blanca continues to teach Juls to make bread as Eugenio
watches and smiles.
Several
days later—
At the Córsegas, everyone
is present as Robert walks in with Imelda. Eugenio shows her the vase of
flowers just for her with the message “You are our life.” Everyone is happy and
comments how important it is to have her back…and how strong she is. Imelda
tells them that her strength comes from their love, the happiness he feels when
she is with them. Each one is a part of the motor that makes her heart beat.
She is alive because of and for them. Frida and Aris kneel beside her telling
her how much they missed her. When Audifaz gets close, Imelda is pleasantly
surprised with his new look. They then have a group hug and chant for their
grandma.
Next
day—
At the bakery, Blanca and
Juls are baking. Blanca thinks Imelda will be so impressed that they made a
special bread for Robert together. Blanca thinks it will be the best bread; and
Juls tells her she is a very good teacher. They’re excited as the bread is done
and they bring it out. Juls tastes it and is happy that she finally prepared
something well. When Blanca emphasizes that Juls made up the recipe, Juls
thinks they should come up with more new recipes as that could boost business.
Blanca agrees; and when she asks what Juls will call the bread, she will call
it, “Pan Imán” (Magnet Bread).
At the sauna, Robert and
Eugenio discuss his health. Eugenio feels better, but doesn’t want to talk
about hospitals or doctors…excluding Robert. Eugenio brings up that Blanca and
Juls are up to something. Robert noticed too; they seem to have become very
friendly. Robert then mentions to Eugenio that he is thinking about asking Juls
to marry him again. Eugenio smiles; and Robert knows it is good news.
Later, Blanca is setting
the table as Gabriel and Dani enter. Blanca is happy Dani brought him and
insists he stay to eat with them. Gabriel very gallantly agrees. While Blanca
goes to freshen up, Gabriel and Dani finish setting the table.
In her bedroom. Blanca
puts on the earrings Robert gave her and tweaks her cheeks as she gets a call
from Ana who is asking about Imelda. Blanca tells her Imelda is home and thinks
it strange that Ana has not come to see her. Ana replies that she had some
things to do and is glad Imelda is home. She asks Blanca to let her know if she
needs anything. Blanca thanks her and tells her she loves her; and if she wants
to continue discussing the divorce, she shouldn’t hesitate to call her. Ana
appreciates it and tells Blanca she loves her too.
As Eugenio and Robert
arrive at the building, they see Tulio. When Eugenio reminds him he didn’t want
to see him, Tulio tells Eugenio he was just passing by. Robert tells Tulio to
leave; they don’t want any problems. Tulio insists that he just came to give
them notice. His mother signed a document where that describes what will happen
if they don’t pay their debt. If they don’t clear up the debt, he will stay
with the building and all the properties.
