Caray, Caray!

Oh my gaaaaaawd. What a fun episode! Federico finds his backbone and almost kills his grandma, we have the finger print results, we know why Laura is gimpy, and Godoy gets shot! Sooo much stuff!

I'm going to take this in chunks, because I think just about everything that happened in this episode is important in moving the story forward. This will not be in order but I hope to cover everything.

Part 1:

I'll start in the past with the Alvarado's. Santiago is upset to learn that Carolina is giving Vicente money, he demands to know why she is always helping him and she tells him that she owes him, then she does one of the worst things she's done to date: she tells Santiago she has been giving Vicente money because he saved her from being raped as a child. I don't know about you guys, but I felt like hitting her, to use such a horrible thing from her past to help hide her affair is just sick.

Florencia, Benjamin's nanny tells her cousin Agustin about the fight she witnessed between Vicente and Carolina and of his accusations against Carolina. Agustin tells her to keep her mouth shut and perhaps find another job, but she refuses, Benjamin needs her (also, she wants to get into Santiago's pants).



In the present we witness a sweet interaction with Lola and Santiago, she feels that she has let him down but he apologizes to her for his behavior and tells her that he will support her every step of the way, he also tells her that while he wanted her to be a boy when he found out she was a girl he fell in love with her. They also talk about Raquel, Lola wants to know if he is with her to get revenge on Carolina and Santiago tells her that's not the case. He recalls when he first met Raquel, she was strange and pushy and he couldn't wait to get away from her, but as he got to know her he grew very fond of her and what happened with Carolina and Damian is what finally pushed them together. He loves Raquel and wants to have a relationship with her. Lola tells him she just wants him to be happy.

They also talk about Benjamin, Miriam is going to allow them to see him whenever they want, Santiago still wants Alina's help to get Benjamin back.

Later, we see Nicolas, Lola, Santiago and Florencia sitting around the kitchen table. Santiago asks Florencia if she ever saw anything strange and Flor spills the beans: She knew that Vicente was blackmailing Carolina . Vicente always knew about the affair.

Laura shoots herself in the leg and it was fun to watch:

En el pasado Laura and Godoy are fighting, he confesses to sleeping with Cecilia and that's when Laura reaches over and takes his gun, she threatens to kill Godoy and when he tries to get the gun away from her it discharges and Laura ends up with a gunshot wound to the leg. And that's how she became gimpy and bitter.

Godoy has really bad luck with guns:

Okay, so one of Damian's credit cards went missing at the scene of the accident. The police identified the man using the card as Blas Garido, and he happens to live in the same town as Vicente. Now, Vicente in a drunken stage may have shared compromising information with Garido, information that could put Andres and his illegal operations at risk, so Andres has hired two hitmen to take him out, but there's a little wrinkle in that plan and his name is Fernando Godoy.

Fernando shows up just as the hit is about to take place and shootout takes place, he gets shot!

The Results are In:

Raquel and Mia show up at the Alvarado's, while Mia goes to visit Nicolas Raquel and Santi snuggle on the couch, they wonder how much longer this situation will last and Raquel tells him that Miriam wanted to disconnect Damian in order to avoid paying the medical bills. Raquel tells Satiago that she has a feeling that Damian will be the one to decide when he wants to go. Santiago shares with Raquel that he wants to be with her and that he has hopes that their children will come around. Then the door bell rings, it's Antonio and he has news.

Antonio tells Raquel and Santiago that the results on the fingerprint test are in, the fingerprints on the gun that killed Carolina belong to Damian, and Mia freaks out because everyone is being super mean to her papa, Antonio tells them that the fingerprints don't prove anything, it is starting to look like Carolina and Damian were victims of an a robbery gone wrong and they are looking into a man named Blas Garido, do they know who he is? Nope, they have never heard of him. Antonio then gets the call that Godoy has been shot and he rushes to the hospital.

Mia wants to leave  to see Damian, she wants to talk to him even if he can't hear her. She keeps saying her dad did not kill Carolina and it makes me wonder why she sounds so sure of this.

Laura shows up at the hospital, she wants to know how Godoy is doing and Antonio is done with her, he tells her to leave, she's become a nightmare and she's tarnished the reputation of the whole police force, she tells him she's still Godoy's wife.

Sometime later we learn that Godoy is okay, the bullet missed his organs (well duh, he was shot in the arm!), something is not adding up to Antonio, why would two hit men be sent to kill a small time criminal like Garido and somehow now there's an implication that a drug cartel is involved. Now, this is all very confusing so I'll do my best to recap it:

Rueda earlier in the episode was talking to Andres, it seems they made a stupid mistake, one that could cause them a lot of trouble, here's how it goes:

Andres has been laundering money, he has "investors", he claims not to know their names, they are all just numbers to him and his friend Miguel was the one that brought them to him. They made a huge mistake when they accused Santiago of not repaying a loan given to him by Damian.

That accusation led the police to start looking into the money movements at Legato and now due to the criminal investigation there is an open file that both Alina and the police have access to. Andres is not worried because the shady dealings have been moved over to the catering company and Rueda suggests that they can stop the investigation by paying off the police, but there's a wrinkle in their plan and his name is Federico Becker.

Federico goes to visit his grandmother, he tells her that as a Becker he has every right to continue working at Legato, that he has information on Andres and his misuse of company money and that he will not let her take away what belongs to him and his family. He also accuses her of wanting to remove Damian's breathing machines in order to save money on his medical bills, but that's not going to happen! Yay Federico, yay!

Federico then has a showdown with Andres, he tells him that he knows he has stolen a great deal of money from Legato, he has worked there long enough to know how things work and Azucena gave him earning reports and documents that show there's been mismanagement. He also knows that Andres and Miriam are both responsible for the missing funds, Federico asks Andres what he plans to do? Kill him?

Andres calls Miriam and she tells him she will continue to pay Damian's medical bills, that should keep Federico happy but they should not underestimate him, he is smarter than he seems. Andres tells her he is done taking h\orders from her and now she's going to be the one doing what he wants. She needs to stop her aggressive actions against Raquel now, or else!

At the hospital Mia begs Damian to wake up and fight for his family. Everything that's going on around them is ugly and people are blaming him for all sorts of things and he needs to wake up and clear everything up, she forgives him for his affair with Carolina and for having a child with her.

Patricia's mom visits Lola, she wants justice for Patricia and needs to know who her sugar daddy was, she is sure that her daughter did not kill herself.

Back in the hospital Damian opens his eyes, is he back?!!
