Caray, Caray!

Julieta cries in the car as she is on her way home with Blanquita.

Robert and David are at Canuto's house where Robert finds out that Canuto is married to Crisanta and that Sebastián and Dr. Axel are his grandchildren. When Robert leaves, Crisanta tells her family how impressed she is with Robert and his son. She made dinner so it is now Canuto's (don Tito's) turn to give her a lift to her store so she can deal with that vulture next to her shop. Canuto is clearly distressed.

When they arrive at her shop, Crisanta sees a red stripe down the sidewalk. Canuto leaves her quickly. Lázaro (Imelda's driver) jumps out and says Crisanta cannot cross the line. Crisanta asks by whose orders. Imelda comes out with Amalia and says by her orders. Canuto nervously watches from across the street.

Robert and Dave arrive at home where Julieta is with Blanca. Julieta makes it clear that everything is not going well.


Imelda dares Crisanta to cross the line. Nobody prohibits Crisanta from doing what she wants!!! So Crisanta touches the other side of the line alternately with the tips of her shoes. Imelda sends Lázaro inside the shop for something. . .

Robert is in the kitchen starting dinner and is talking about the little girl with the burned scalp and how they are going to be able to regrow her hair. This case has really made him think about his mission of being a doctor and how he needs more training to help her. He has signed up for his class. Julieta is not pleased. Susana has banned children from theo ffice.

Crisanta decidedly steps across the line. Lázaro has returned with a fire extinguisher. Imelda tells Crisanta to get back and sprays her. Canuto watches from afar in fear and horror. Amalia and Imelda laugh at Crisanta.

Julieta just does not know how she is going to work with her child away from her. She doesn't know how other women do it. Robert says they knew this was going to happen sooner or later. Julieta never expected it happen so soon. Who are her children going to stay with? Robert immediately mentions his mother. This elicits a very strong "no" response from Julieta. Robert tells her to look for solutions and points out that she is not the only one making sacrifices. She needs to stop controlling everything. Dave looks on sadly as he witnesses the argument.

Canuto cannot believe what he is seeing. Crisanta asks Imelda if she has any idea of what she has just done. Of course she does! She made a snow ball! Imelda and her crew laugh.. Amalia and Lázaro help Imelda back into her shop. Canuto decides to not get involved and escapes in his truck. Crisanta's sales girl comes out to help her. Imelda gloats inside of her shop knowing she will remember this day the rest of her life. Crisanta calls the police. She tells them to come quickly because a criminal wanted to kill her.

Julieta sarcastically thanks Robert for understanding what she is going through. It hurts her not being with her children and not being able to bring her son to school. She blames it all on Susana. Dave thinks about Sebas talking about how his parents never had any time for him or his brother and how they always would fight and then got divorced. Julieta can only imagine his mother's reaction if she asked her to watch the children. It would be one big "I told you so."because Julieta cannot do it all. Robert tells her she has been a "super" mom, wife and professional and reminds her that life can change any moment and you have to learn how to change with it. Julieta goes into another room to avoid making rude comments about Robert's mother. Robert follows her her so she continues.She knows that his mother has changed but she does not agree with her ideas on religion, nutrition and education. Does he remember when Dave stayed with his parents on a Saturday and came home singing a hymn praising God? Julieta is not sure that is what she wants her kids to believe. Robert thought they had talked their way through that incident already. He does not appreciate the way she speaks about his mother. Julia is done talking but Robert isn't. She needs to understand this affects all of them and he knows she is angry about him taking a class. No, she says it isn't him taking a class it is just when is the right time for him to take it. Robert tries to make it clear that he needs to take the class for himself and the children that need him. He knows how she hates losing control. Julieta agrees that he knows how she is: structured. He does and she is who he fell in love with. He also adds it was only a matter of time before she was going to lose control.

Robert turns the conversation to finding solutions. Has Julieta thought about getting another job? Julieta is not about to resign. She likes her job. They need a nanny to take care of the children starting tomorrow. Robert is not sure about letting the children stay with a person they don't even know since this is on such short notice. That is why his mother woud be s good option. He wants to call her right away but Julieta suggests her own mother. Robert asks how that is fair.

Daniela is crying in her workshop as Gabriel enters in his bear costume. He has Frida in tow all ready to clean her workshop. He says they are a pair of bears that have been hired to organize this space. He is there to prove to Daniela what a great team she and he are and how much he loves her. He promises to be more responsible and organized and also fun. He tickles her. He insists they will triumph and not fail. Daniela doesn't look convinced.

As they do laundry, Robert remarks about how he just does not get why it is such a big deal to ask his mother for help. Julieta says it is all about how his mother is. She just does not want to have more problems with her. Robert goes on record that he also has problems with her mother's beliefs and doesn't want their kids influenced by them either. Julieta agrees that her mom will be out of the picture as soon as they find a nanny. Yes, they will make the nanny decision together.

Canuto goes to visit Axel at the hospital. HIs life is like a horror movie because he has found out that his current wife and his ex-wife know each other and hate each other. Axel seems to think this might be for the best. Canuto doesn't because they are on the verge of finding out about each other and everything else. Canuto has always feared this moment. Axel doesn't understand how he could have gone all of these years hiding it. Canuto is worried about what is going to happen to him. They won't have a family anymore. Axel agrees but tells him it will be worse if they find out on their own. Axel gives Canuto his own advice: face the truth.

Imelda and her two accomplices, Amalia and Lázaro, are arrested by the police. As they are placed in the squad car, Crisanta shouts for them to be jailed. They are a danger to society especially the blonde one with the criminal mind. Imelda vows to return. Later, Imelda raves on about Crisanta with Amalia in a jail cell.

At home, David asks Julieta if they are going to see her. She says maybe a little less with more work but she will arrange things. She promises him. He misses her. She thinks back on Dave when he was first adopted and the birth of Blanquita. The doorbell rings. It is Catalina who states: "A mother is like blood, she shows up when there is a wound without being called." She knows that Julieta is not doing well. Julieta admits she was going to call her. Catalina is only there to remind her that her mother is there for her and that she loves her. Catalina explains that only when you are a mother do you understand the depth of love you have for your children and often suffer unjustified criticism by those same children who never put themselves in your place. Catalina assures Julieta that what she is feeling is normal. Up to now, Julieta has always has been able to get her own way because she has been in control at her job and in her life. Julieta talks about how her family is the most important thing for her. Catalina hates to say it but maybe this is a good thing that is happening to Julieta so she knows what really being a mother is all about. Mother and daughter hug.

Canuto goes to the cemetery to visit his own grave. A call from an angry Crisanta breaks the maudlin mood. She chews him out for not answering his phone and for having left her at the mercy of those criminals. She saw him in his truck. She calls him a coyón (coward).

Axel talks to Sebas who is working on his family tree which he thinks is a stupid project. Sebas is in a bad mood because nobody pays any attention to them. His mother is not at home and his dad . . . it just doesn't matter. Axel says he understands him and he is always there for him. Tey decide to have a video chat with their dad.

Susana is leaving work and finds Casandra still there working on a report for Julieta. Clearly, Susana is not pleased that Julieta gave Casandra the report to work on.

At the police station, an officer is asking Imelda to sign an agreement that states she will maintain her distance from Crisanta Díaz. Eugenio and Blanca paid her bail. Imelda is still angry and it takes a threat to throw her back in a jail cell to finally get her to sign.

Gabriel and Daniela are all lovey dovey and he doesn't want her to be disappointed in him. He promises things are going to be fine. Suddenly they hear a scream. It is Frida. She found ut she has a toothache brushing her teeth. Gabriel and Daniela scramble around not knowing what to do. Gabriel finally get some frozen meat to stick on her jaw.

Back at home, Eugenio still does not understand how Imelda could get into such a situation with her competition. Imelda says he would know if he knew Crisanta. Imelda sees it as an ongoing war between them. Frida calls Blanca saying her tooth hurts.

Susana arrives at a darkened house and finds her sons talking to their father Dr. Vicente in Africa on their laptop Vicente asks where their mom is. Sebas turns it back on him and asks sarcastically: "where do you think?" Susana overhears the conversation, grabs the computer and tells her ex-husband off. She isn't there at home because she is out earning a living to support the household. It is real easy for him to have a relationship with his kids since he is living all the way in Africa. The boys just stare at her. She gives them the laptop and leaves.

Blanca and Eugenio are at Daniela's and Gabriel's place. Blanca has calmed Frida down and taken care of her tooth. Blanca is not happy with anything she sees there so Frida is coming back with her to live in her home. Frida is eating candy, junk, and not brushing her teeth. Daniela moans that it is hard taking care of her.Blanca informs them that marriage is more than just sharing sharing a bed, games and fun. If they don't buckle down and become responsible, their marriage is doomed. It is time to get Frida's things so they can take her home. Gabriel and Daniela beg her to let Frida stay but Blanca is not changing her mind. Eugenio threatens to cut Gabriel's beard but can't seem to find a pair of scissors at their place.

Canuto is already in bed. Crisanta comes in and accuses him of seeing her get attacked by that woman and not coming to her defense. He just took off! She wants answers but Canuto just looks at her frozen with fear.

Eugenio cannot find a comfortable position in bed and is annoying Blanca who wants him to stay on his own side of the bed. He cannot stop moving around or moaning. She asks him to just not move for five seconds so she can fall asleep. He cannot even do that.

Daniela asks if Gabriel is awake. He is and she cannot sleep. She doesn't know how they are going to solve all of the issues they are dealing with. What if her mom and Susana are right and they can't make their marriage work? Gabriel grabs her hand and holds it.

Robert and Julieta are in bed where she is still working. He takes away her papers and tells her it is time to dream. She asks him to forgive her for fighting so much and for her anger and fears. She doesn't want him to tire of her "control". Robert makes it clear she has nothing to apologize for. Julieta is just worried that some day things will have changed so much that they will not recognize each other. Robert assures her that one thing that will never change is his love for her. They agree that they both are incredible.

The next morning, Julieta has breakfast with Robert, the chldren and Catalina. Robert and Dave have made a sandwich for her lunch and written TE AMAMOS (We love you) on the wrapper. She loves them too much. She kisses her family goodbye and leaves for work. As she leaves, she tells herself this separation from the children is only temporary.

At Susana's house, her sons become quiet as she enters the dining room for breakfast. Crisanta remarks how they all have their dead monkey faces on. Canuto just wants her to let them eat in peace. Nevertheless, Susana agrees with her mother and is tired of being blamed for everything. With a smirk, Sebas tells her she is the worst mother in the world. Crisanta corrects him and tells him it is not fair to say that to his mother. Susana asks him why he would say something like that to her. Axel excuses Sebas because he is only a little kid. Sebas clarifies that he might be a little boy but he is not stupid. Susana loses it and tells him that she has had enough of his comments. They hurt her. Don't they think she would like to be just like their dad? Sebas tells her she should be. Susana gets up and Canuto gets her to sit back down. She gets up again and tells her two sons that she is going to tell them the truth whether they like it or not. She is the one who stayed with them to take care of them. She is the one who goes to work to make sure there is money to buy them both the things that they need. For now, she has lost her appetite and leaves for work.

Gabriel wakes up and Daniela is already up and working. They both miss Frida. Daniela hates that they took her back because they did not care for her like they should have. Daniela is going over the books and their bills and has no idea how they are going to pay the fine. They are going to have to sell one of the machines. Gabriel disagrees because she needs them in order to work. Daniela says she will just have to work more by hand. Gabriel will think of something to help them.

Blanca tells Frida she has a dental appointment even though her tooth is feeling better. First Blanca will take her to the dentist, take her to school, go to her own dance class and then get back to greet the new renters. She doesn't know who they are. Blanca reminds Frida that things are different in her home because there are rules. Eugenio says they will have to tell Frida's mom that she is now living with them. They call her.

Under police supervision, Amalia and Lázaro are scrubbing the red line off the sidewalk. Imelda says she doesn't have to scrub because she was innocent. Crisanta comes out to see how things are progressing. She announces that now it should be clear who is in charge around there.

At work, Julieta is ready for the photo shoot to start for the fall/winter catalogue. After the shoot, Susana asks Julieta and Casandra to meet with her in her office. Once there, she expresses her disappointment in Julieta's work. It is not what she expected from her. She thought it would be more complete. The quality is not that of a vice president like HER. Susana doesn't like to think Julieta was trying to pull one over on her. She knows that Casandra did the work because she saw her there working to all hours of the night.Julieta is using other people to prove she can do it all: be a mom, an executive, etc., etc., etc.

At the hospital, Robert examines Canuto's burn and still does not like the way it looks. Canuto is thinking about Axel telling him to face the truth when Robert has to get his attention again. Robert tells him if he is not taking care of his wound there is nothing he can do for him. Out of nowhere, Canuto asks Robert what he knows about his grandfather. Robert asks why he would ask that question. Well, Canuto says he is a grandfather himself so it is just a matter of curiosity.

Amalia and Imelda are back in the shop and Amalia is trying to convince Imelda to just ignore Crisanta. She needs to calm down so she doesn't suffer another heart attack. Amalia suggests she go to church and pray. It will do her well.

Blanca brings Frida to school and runs into Dave who lets it drop that grandma Catalina is taking care of them at their house. His mother asked her to. Blanca is not pleased.

Back at Susana's office, Casandra says she just did the work that Julieta asked her to do. For Susana, that only proves her point that Julieta was not doing her own work. Finally, an upset Julieta tells Susana in a loud voice that enough is enough. Julieta has had it with Susana. Susana insists that she is only "telling it like it is." Again, Julieta raises her voice and tells her that is enough. Julieta asks if Susana knows that her assistant is there to help her, right? Ever since Susana has arrived she has done nothing but belittle her in front of the other employees. Why? Susana insists it is because we all have to know our "opportunity areas". Julieta states that she has been at the company a lot longer than Susana and she knows that these campaigns are very successful. She continues. Ever since Susana has arrived, she thinks that giving orders is the same thing as being a leader. Susana states that she refuses to be in competition with Julieta. She only is asking that Julieta fulfills her obligations. Julieta will not permit Susana to disrespect her or make less of her in front of others. Susana's comeback is that her job is to find problems in every area of the company. She started with Julieta because it was her area that had the most problems that were visible. Julieta suggests that maybe Susana needs to focus more on the results rather than destroying everybody's lives. If she wants to work on team building, maybe she should start with herself. Julieta and Casandra leave. Susana is left to fume all alone.

Lázaro has brought Imelda to church. She finds a pew and starts to pray.

Robert talks to Dr. Vicente, Axel and Sebas's father, in Africa. Robert thanks him for his support of his burn foundation in Mexico. Dr. Vicente talks about how their patients have lost so much that they have to give their patients everything to make up or it.

Imelda's praying is disturbed when Canuto sits down next to her and calls her by her name. She turns to look at him. He asks if she knows who he is. He is Canuto, her husband. She can only stare.
