Caray, Caray!

Take aways from this episode:

(1) I don't think Vicente killed Carolina, I believe he was involved in some way with the accident that happened but I do think that he loved his sister and although he was blackmailing her he would never have killed her.
(2) Mia is way up on my list, I truly believe that she is mentally unstable. She makes up lies, she's obsessive and she manipulates people in order to get her way, but what puts her high on my list is that she seems to believe that once Damian wakes up they will be a perfect family. I'm wondering to what she would have done if she found out that Damian was with Carolina- would she kill to keep her "perfect family" together? I'm gonna say yes.
(3) Carolina is a salty b*tch
(4) Raquel has really nice arms.
(5) Nicolas has really cute bed sheets.



Now the recap:

Vicente is staying at Lisa's house, he keeps having hallucinations of Carolina, he thinks she's trying to ask him something but he doesn't know what. He apologizes to her ghost and then wonders out loud if she wants him to kill himself, if so he's willing to do it. Lisa wakes him up and asks him if he killed Carolina. Vicente tells her he did not, he loved her and protected her since she was a baby, but the last time he saw her he treated her so badly and now he's full of remorse. Lisa later calls Santiago and tells him that she thinks Vicente had something to do with Carolina's death.

In the Past: Raquel shows up at the Alvarados house to settle up the accounts with Carolina as she is dissolving the partnership and buying Caro out of the catering business.

Alina has to deal with Sammy who came to her house and slit his wrist in front of her, when Rueda comes looking for Sammy she tells him what happened and tells him to put Sammy in the hospital. Sammy later tells Mia that he found Nico and Alina in bed together.

Andres pays a visit to Raquel he tells her he found Cinthia high as a kite, he tells her she's using drugs again and then tells Raquel that his friend Miguel is in jail for trying to use Legato in order to launder money. He actually expected Raquel to thank him, Raquel reminds him that he was the one that brought Miguel into their lives and gave him access to the company. Andres tells her that Damian knew what was going on. Raquel tells Andres that they will have to ask Damian how much he knew when he recovers "what?" asks a surprised Andres, "you do know that Damian is out of the coma right? And he's starting to get better, he's even talking, once he feels better we can ask him to confirm what you're telling me". This leads Andres back to the hospital where he tells Damian to be careful about what he says.

Raquel finds herself having to stay and care for Damian instead of running after Santiago, this leads Mia to think that once her father gets better things will go back to the way they used to be, she seems to forget that for 3 years her dad was sleeping with someone else.

In the Present: Raquel finds out the boys didn't go to school because they stayed out all night, something Fede doesn't do. She calls Santi and he and Caro find out Nico lied about spending the night with Fede.

So Mia's lies are messing with everyone. Santiago wants to end his partnership with Damian but Damian talks him out of it, they are actually doing really well on this project and they should not let their personal lives get in the middle of their business venture. Damian probably wants to keep Santiago around in order to have an excuse to see Carolina. They agree to continue working together.

In the Present: Santi and Flo have a heart to heart talk about Raquel over the kitchen table. Flo tells him to forget Raquel (because she has a vested interest in that happening).

In present time Lola and Santiago have a heart to heart, he wants to know how she feels about Bebo, does she love him? She says she's not sure, she has no idea what love is. he tells her it's a feeling you get in your chest, its being able to tell the other person anything, what hurts you and all your secrets, then he srtarts to cry. Lola says she's done a lot of bad things and Santiago tells her that's not true. Everyone makes mistakes, Bebo made mistakes and he opened up to her about everything and if he loves her he will still be with her when she tells him what she's been through.

Nacho tells Agustin that Dam woke up. He's worried about Santi because he told Nacho several times he was waiting for Dam to wake up so he could kill him with his own two hands.

Santi is at Alina's office. She tells him she committed a grave error with Nico. It's all over now. Santi wonders how Nico will take this. Alina says he'll overcome it in time. Meanwhile, touching his hand lightly on the desk, she says she's there for him. He withdraws his hand so she notices he did it on purpose. Santi then asks about Benji. She tells him that trying to get custody is a lost cause and to get used to it.

In the Past: The two boys each get into trouble with their parents. They argue. Nico says it was nothing. They met some girls. Fede says the same thing--he was with a girl. Are they happy now or not? Nico and Fede talk about last night. Apparently Nico saw Fede kissing his boyfriend and Nico is pissed that he got into trouble just because Fede wanted to be with his boyfriend, Nique (this is someone we haven't met, I don't think).

As Time goes by:
Santi buys Caro a new red sedan.
Dam is still paying off Vic, as Andres watches Vic take the check and leave.
There's a two year celebration for the catering business.
Happy sex for both couples. (Definitely check out TF's comment at 7:00 pm on the contrast between the two couples.)

We are now a year away from the accident, Carolina and Santiago seems happy and so do Damian and Raquel, until the party of doom.

Nacho is throwing a party at his house for Damian and Santiago, Damian invites Raquel to come with him and she agrees, even if it means seeing Carolina. They arrive at the party and Carolina is immediately uncomfortable, things don't improve when Nacho proposes a toast in Raquel's honor, if not for her they would not be where they are today. Raquel in turn tells them that nothing would be possible without their hard work.

Damian approaches Carolina and she tells him to leave her alone. They haven't talked in a year and she changed her number, does this mean they will never talk again? Carolina again tells him that she wants nothing to do with him and that she no longer thinks about him, Damian calls her out and tells her she is lying. This makes Carolina want to leave the party, Santiago tells her the guys threw the party for them and Carolina says the party is more about Raquel than anyone else and she's tired of him looking at Raquel like she's the prefect woman. She goes to leave and Raquel follows her.

Raquel wants to know what's going on, is she leaving because Santiago's workers have affection towards her or because she's not the center of attention? Carolina answers that she feels unwell and that she's leaving because they don't get along, Raquel reminds her that she was responsible for their falling out, she wanted another child and because of the way Carolina reacted when Benjamin had his accident her husband saw her as being unfit to have another child. In the end both women still have a lot of resentment towards each other and their relationship remains broken.

Nando is at Raq's house to see Cin. She's having "withdrawl symptoms" from Andres' recent assault. She tells Nando she knows she's complicating his life, but she feels she can't move ahead without him. With him at her side, she feels she can do anything. They stand there. He looks at her with loving sympathy and reaches out to touch her cheek.

That's all for today folks!
