Hortensia plans to institutionalize Andrea because she is no longer safe in her apartment. She then goes to put away the groceries.

Sofia calls Dalia, who chides her for not being present when things need to be paid, but Sofia wants to know about Ramon. Dalia goes to answer when Rosendo walks in and takes the phone away from her. He reminds her that the police are after her and she can’t have contact with the outside world or they will find him. Sofia doesn’t think things should be that way, but Rosendo could care less and storms off.

Ramon calls Juana, who can’t help but worry about the Medina sisters, and then asks him how it went with Cuellar. Ramon tells her about Cuellar’s plan, but Juana doesn’t think it’s a good idea because he should just let Sofia and her father go. Ramon has already accepted though and he explains that they only need to tap his phone, so they can trace Sofia’s location and her father’s since they are likely together. Juana would rather talk to Pedro, but Ramon asks her to leave him be and then asks about Andrea. Juana confesses that she is still missing, and Jorge is distraught. They both agree that Andrea shouldn’t broken up with him in person before hanging up. Dalia then arrives and tells Ramon that Sofia hasn’t come to work for two days and the garage is likely to go under soon. Ramon feels bad, but he suggests she find another job, as hard as it will be, before she’s left with nothing.

In his room, Jorge can’t understand why Andrea left him like she did. He rereads the little before calling Esteban to ask if he has any news about Andrea. Esteban tells him no and Jorge thanks him for his help. He then hangs up but can’t seem to understand what happened. He wonders what he can do or how he can find Andrea.

Reyna talks with her cellmates about her plan to scare Fabiola. She instructs the cellmates to distract Fabiola’s cellmate, Alicia, so that she can take care of Fabiola. They agree, and Reyna takes out an icepick from under her mattress.

Fabiola calls Ramon and tells him that she misses him so much and would love to be in his arms. She begins to cry, and Ramon misses her too, but he tells her that they will be together forever when she gets out. Fabiola confesses that she does nothing more than think about it, it’s how she gets by, and Ramon tells her that he will take her to the beach once she’s out. Reyna comes and takes out the icepick. She runs toward Fabiola but is stopped by a guard, who gets between them to tell Fabiola her that it’s almost light’s out. She runs away as Fabiola hangs up.

A few feet away, Reyna’s cellmates distract Alicia with a story about ghosts in the prison, but Alicia doesn’t believe them. She reminds them that it’s better to fear the living than the dead when Reyna signals them to leave. They go immediately as Fabiola comes and tells Alicia that she was able to talk to Ramon. She tells her that she loves him with all her heart and they go to their cell when the alarm sounds.

Andrea wonders what she is going to do as Hortensia has lost it and Jorge is likely worried. She can barely get up though and Hortensia brings her more pills, so she can sleep. Andrea asks her for how long she is going to be there, and Hortensia won’t let her go till she’s better. In fact, she already told everyone they are together, including Jorge, and then gives her more pills. She tells Andrea that she won’t let her go till she forgets Jorge and warns her that she is willing to inject her if she doesn’t drink the pills. Andrea finally obliges and then lays down to sleep as Hortensia asks if she read the Bible and realized her errors. Andrea is already fast asleep, and Hortensia relents.

Jorge has fallen asleep in his room when Luisa comes and asks if he would like anything to eat because he hasn’t moved from his room all day. She warns him that he will get sick if he continues this way, but Jorge doesn’t want to do anything. He confesses that he misses Andrea too much, but Luisa begs him to reconsider and tells him that he will move on soon enough. Jorge doubts it, and Luisa agrees, but she tells him that Andrea will reappear soon and explain everything but he ahs to take care of himself now. Jorge can’t seem to understand the reasoning behind Andrea’s actions though, and neither can Luisa, but there is nothing they can do. She then asks him again to please eat something and he finally agrees. She goes to make something as Jorge lays down in bed again.

In her room, Hortensia plans to dissolve the pills in a drink from now on as Andrea has been very difficult lately and it’s giving anxiety. Once Andrea is firmly asleep, she can decide where to institutionalize her. After a few moments, she decides to take her to another country, that way she can never see Jorge again. She pats herself on the back for a job well done and smiles.

Fredesvinda is having a tea when Adalgiza comes, shocked to see her awake, and Fredesvinda explains that she can’t sleep. She then asks Adalgiza if the place where she works has discounts for employee’s family members. Adalgiza explains the various options but she’s sure Fredesvinda has plenty of years left. Fredesvinda has a vision then and sees Adalgiza crying. She tells Adalgiza that she just saw her crying, which means she died, and resolves to buy a funeral package soon so Benito doesn’t worry when she passes.

The next day, Rulo and Osvaldo wait for El Palomo by the entrance of MedFer. Rulo asks Osvaldo to tell him to wait until nightfall for his orders because it’s dangerous in the daylight. Osvaldo explains that things got complicated for him yesterday and then Rulo asks about Ramon and Fabiola. Osvaldo explains what happened that Ramon is free and Rulo wonders if they saw the true culprit on the video camera. Osvaldo tells him no as Palomo arrives and they go to trade the drugs. A squad car passes by then and they all tense up, but the car races pass them. When Palomo leaves, both Rulo and Osvaldo worry that they were almost caught.

At RamSo, Ramos and his detectives arrive and hand Dalia a search warrant as Sofia is the daughter of a known, and escaped narco, Rosendo Vasquez, and they need to search the premises. She gives them the go ahead and Dalia asks if anything will happen to them. Ramos explains that they will only be brought in for questioning though the shop will be closed until further notice. Dalia looks distraught, as do the other employees, because they are now out of a job.

Across the street, Rulo and Osvaldo look at the chaos at RamSo. Osvaldo suggests he go over and ask Dalia but Rulo worries that the police will want to ask him why he’s asking. Osvaldo reminds him that he’s dating Dalia and Rulo nods before making his way over.

One of the employees asks Dalia if she knows what kind of questions the police will ask but Dalia has no idea. The employee couldn’t be more annoyed and worried, but Dalia can only shrug as Rulo comes and asks one of the officer to let him through as Dalia is his girlfriend. Dalia runs to him and asks her what the issue is. Dalia tells her everything the police just told her and reveals that the police think searching the garage will reveal will Rosendo is. She then tells him that Sofia hasn’t been to work in three days and Rulo assumes that means she does know where Rosendo is or is with him. Either way, he promises to protect her, no matter what.

After her shift, Rebeca goes to Francisco’s room but finds that he has been discharged and didn’t tell her. She leaves then in a huff.

Carlos calls Francisco, who is at home, to tell him Fabiola’s lawyers have also added domestic violence to their counter sue so he needs to be ready for questioning. Francisco laments this, as eh just got out of the hospital, but Carlos will go see him in a bit because he needs to know exactly what he did. Francisco hangs up and curses how complicated things have gotten. He then goes to opine the door for Rebeca, who chides him for not telling her he was discharged, but Francisco begs her to disappear for the time being as he doesn’t have time for her. Rebeca reminds him that they had a deal, and Francisco remembers, but he needs her to lay low right now. Rebeca warns her that she knows a lot of things about him, but Francisco reminds her that she goes down with him if she talks and kicks her out of his apartment without another word.

Fabiola is cleaning up her cell when she has some nausea. Alicia asks if she feels bad and Fabiola reveals that she’s pregnant with Ramon’s child which is why her husband accused her of adultery. Alicia worries that the baby will be born in prison if she doesn’t get out fast enough, but Fabiola asks her not to say that. Fabiola then asks Alicia if she has children but, before she can answer, one of Reyna’s cohorts tells her that she has a message in the laundry room, and Alicia leaves. Once alone, Fabiola hopes she gets out before she goes into labor.

Hortensia brings Andrea breakfast and a coffee and urges her to drink her coffee. Andrea promises to drink it in a bit and Hortensia tells her that she will go shower but expects the coffee to be drunken by the time she gets back. Andrea nods and Hortensia leaves after locking the door. Once alone, Andrea realizes that the pill is likely dissolved in the coffee and goes to throw it out in the toilet. She then comes back and lays down in bed as she thinks about what to do.

Reyna, with the icepick in hand, arrives at Fabiola’s cell but finds it empty. She tells herself that Fabiola won’t be so luck next time she finds her.

Fabiola is in the visiting room talking with margarita, who has brought her chocolate. Fabiola thanks her, as she’s had chocolate cravings, and Margarita then tells her to be ready because they will ask her to testify against Francisco for their domestic violence case. Fabiola promises to go over everything and then Margarita warns her that she will see Francisco again. Fabiola doesn’t care as there is nothing else he can do that he hasn’t already done.

Antonio calls Juana to ask about Andrea but the girl has not reappeared yet. Juana confesses that she’s still worried, despite the letter, but she doesn’t know what to do. Antonio asks her to be patience and then hangs up as Osvaldo walks in to sign some documents. As Antonio signs, Osvaldo fills him in on what happened with RamSo and reveals who Sofia’s real father is. He assumes the police think that the shop was used to launder money but he’s not sure. Antonio wonders how long it will last and Osvaldo thinks it will be forever as they will have a hard time recovering their reputation. He then leaves with the documents as Antonio thinks about how quietly RamSo disappeared.

Hortensia is getting ready when Rebeca calls her and asks her for some time to talk. Hortensia tells her that she has no time to talk, and no work for her, but Rebeca needs to talk about Fabiola and Francisco. Hortensia, curious, asks her to meet her at a café in an hour so they can talk. Rebeca agrees, and they hang up. Moments later, Hortensia visits Andrea, who pretends to be asleep, and collects the breakfast dishes. She smiles when she sees Andrea drank the coffee and leaves. Once alone, Andrea tries to think of a way to get free.

Ramon goes to visit Juana, who tells him that not having a job should count for something, but Ramon is stressed because he needs a job, soon. Juana nods and then Ramon asks if he has any news about Andrea, but she doesn’t. Juana then asks about Fabiola and Ramon fills her in on the domestic violence charge against Francisco. Ramon explains that they hope it pressures Francisco into removing the adultery charge. Juana hopes for the best and then asks if he wants to go to the supermarket with her. He does, and they go off.

Outside the building, they run into Hortensia who screams that it’s Ramon fault that Fabiola is in jail. Juana screams that Ramon and Fabiola have only loved each other and that is the most beautiful thing in life. Hortensia nods but reiterates that Ramon is not of their same social class and, therefore, unworthy of Fabiola’s love since he’s treated her like a common whore. At this, Ramon screams that she better be quiet and not talk about Fabiola in that matter. Hortensia demands to know what gives him the right to talk to her this way and Ramon reveals that Fabiola is pregnant with his child. Hortensia is floored and declares that she will never accept their bastard child. Juana hopes she never regrets the words she just spoke when she feels lonely and tries to be close to her family. They go then but Hortensia begins to cry when she sees the mess her family has become. She worries that the worst is yet to come.

The detectives go over Francisco’s beating and the subsequent video tape outside the building with Pedro and Porfirio. After showing it to all the building tenants, only Ramon and Francisco’s aggressor are unknown. The detective then shows them the video which clearly shows Dario going into the building when the garage door was open and coming back out minutes later, all the while making sure no one saw him. Since the camera got his face on the way out, they are looking into their criminal database to see is they can find him. Pedro and Porfirio smile at the good news.

In the room, Andrea writes “help” on a piece of paper and folds it into a paper place, making sure Hortensia doesn’t arrive by surprise.

She’s safe though, Hortensia is at the café with Rebeca, who reveals that Francisco only wants Fabiola’s half of the insurance money. Hortensia nods and remembers when she overheard Francisco plotting to take Fabiola’s money. She also remembers all the times Francisco and Rebeca injected her and begins to panic. Rebeca asks her to calm down, but Hortensia tells her that she is just as guilty as Francisco and she wants to leave. Rebeca stops her and explains that she did inject her, but Francisco forced her to and she even saved her life once by not injecting her with an overdose. Hortensia doesn’t believe one word and realizes Francisco betrayed Rebeca and that is why she is betraying him. She takes out her phone to call the police, but Rebeca gets up and runs away. Hortensia doesn’t try to stop her.

Ramon and Juana come back to the building with the groceries and Ramon laments that Hortensia said those things about his child. Juana tells him not to worry, as Hortensia’s punishment will be to stay completely alone, just as Andrea’s paper plane lands in front of them. They read the note, which says “help,” and then see the other notes scattered on the grass. Juana realizes that it’s Andrea’s handwriting and they are coming from Hortensia’s apartment based on the location of the notes. She assumes Hortensia may have locked Andrea in her apartment and they go to find Luisa, so they can give them the keys.

Moments later, they find Luisa at Julio’s and tell her what happened. Juana goes to talk to Jorge as Ramon grabs the keys from Luisa to open the apartment. Luísa can’t believe Hortensia kidnapped Andrea and Ramon tells her to tell Juana that he went ahead. Jorge and Juana come running then and he declares that he will kill Hortensia if she did anything to Andrea. Luisa grabs the keys to Julio’s apartment, puts the groceries inside, and leaves after them.

Ramon has already opened the apartment and begins to scream Andrea’s name. Andrea screams for them to help as Jorge and Ramon try to find a way to open the door. They open it moments later and Jorge runs to Andrea to give her a big hug. Andrea thanks them and then explains what happened over the past few days. Jorge can’t believe Hortensia would do this and Ramon declares that she’s a monster.

Hortensia is on her way back in a taxi, cursing Francisco for drugging her, and vows to take care of him when she’s done with Andrea.

Jorge tells Andrea that it’s been two days since she disappeared and then asks her about the letter she wrote, saying their love was a sin. Andrea can’t remember writing those words, but Jorge tells her it doesn’t matter and asks her to leave so he doesn’t do something to Hortensia he will regret. As they are leaving, Hortensia arrives and sees them holding hands. She can’t believe they are together, but Jorge can’t believe she would kidnap Andrea. Ramon asks Jorge to calm down, but Juana can’t calm down anymore because she’s sick and tired of Hortensia hurting everyone in her family. Hortensia argues that she only tried to help Andrea and Jorge, but Juana reminds her that her grandchildren need her help and protection and she has only tried to destroy them. Hortensia warns them that God will punishment them all for their sin, but Jorge thinks the biggest punishment is having her for a grandmother. Juana warns Hortensia that she will come back for her if Andrea has any health issues and they all leave. Hortensia is hyperventilating at this point but doesn’t apologize.

Moments later, everyone goes back to Juana’s and Luisa offers to make Andrea a tea. Juana then receives a call from Julio and she tells him all that Hortensia did these past few days. Julio can’t believe his mother did that and asks about Andrea. Juana tells him that she should be fine, but she looks drowsy now. Julio will go see Andrea later because he wants to give Hortensia a piece of his mind first.

Margarita and Antonio are having dinner when Julio calls her to tell her what happened with Hortensia. Margarita is floored and they both agree that Hortensia has lost her marbles. They agree to go see her later, together, and hang up. Margarita then tells Antonio and he agrees that Hortensia is the worst person. He then calls Andrea to see how she’s doing.

Carlos arrives at Francisco’s apartment to tell him to tell him that the police have identified his attacker and he has to go and identify him at the police station. Francisco is sick and tired of everything, but Carlos reminds him that he dug his own hole and his best option is negotiating with Fabiola’s lawyers. He warns Francisco not to think about it too long as he has a lot of legal troubles brewing.

Luisa tells everything that she is going back to Julio’s and Jorge thanks her again for her help. She then leaves as does Andrea and Jorge to, so they can rest at home, but Juana prefers they stay in the apartment. They don’t want to see Hortensia right now though and prefer to leave. Juana asks them to call when they arrive, and they nod before thanking them for their help and leaving. Once alone, Juana tells Ramon that it has been the worse day ever.

Julio and Margarita arrive at Hortensia’s and chide her for her actions. They remind her that she can go to jail or a psychiatric hospital because of what she did, so she should thank Andrea for not taking legal action. Hortensia argues that the children are committing a sin and only God’s law matters. Julio thinks Dr. Paez would suggest she go to a hospital until her head gets right but Hortensia doesn’t trust him or any other doctor. She then asks Margarita for some legal advice, but she refuses to help because she’s sick and tired of her actions and her behavior. She tells Hortensia that there are plenty of other lawyers she contracts and leaves. Hortensia asks Julio to stay back but he reminds her that he doesn’t approve of her actions either and she can resolve her own problems. He storms out as well, but Hortensia declares that she will not be alone as long as she’s the head of the family and they will respect her until her final days…
