Dani and Gabriel are about to enter the "Reality de Amor" show set. No, Dani does not want to say goodbye to her family.  She thinks it is just better to go ahead.  They enter the reality show set and the doors close behind them. At home, Imelda goes looking for Dani to make peace only to discover that she left for the show without saying goodbye to any of them. At "Reality de Amor" the couples get the plan and rules of  the show.  Suddenly, Dani is upset about not having said goodbye to her family. On the set, women will sleep in one room and men in another. At home, Imelda is still complaining about Dani and Audifaz joins in her negativity.  Polita is all excited to see how they are going to do because they can watch the show on the internet. Hearing that,  Imelda has a new interest in the show.

The audition process starts. Pancho, Robert, Julieta, Blanca, Linda and Ignacio are there. Susana could not leave work.  Axel comes  for Sebas and Linda blows him off. There is also an unexpected visitor: Fernando who watches from the back of the auditorium in tears.  He starts to leave.  Julieta follows him out. He couldn't wait one more day to see his son.  Julieta is all worried about Dave's reaction.  She and Robert want to plan their meeting. Fernando explains that when he was in jail  Dave was his only reason for living. Julieta needs to protect her family and she explains that she needs to know that he is a good man and really loves him. She doesn't want to see Dave hurt. His place is with her and Robert now. Fernando is left crying on a bench outside.  Julieta feeling like she does welcomes a hug from her brother. Julieta just cannot take anymore.

Blanca congratulates Ignacio on the great father he has become. He would do anything for Frida.

The results of the audition: Oliver Twist will be played by David Cooper y Aguilar.  Julio complains, Sebas sticks up for Dave and a fight starts. Pancho says it was all because Julio was "too Mexican" for this "English" part. Bratty Sebas thinks that Pancho needs to hang around less with his mother and help Julio study more.  Susana arrives as soon as she can and Sebas is furious with her. He is leaving with Axel.  Susana  ends up in a toy store with Pancho and his twins trying to pick out a toy to help make the peace with Sebas.  Being in a toy store brings back many memories for him. She tells him she wants to take advantage of this time to talk to Pancho about them and their future. He looks interested.

Axel tries to get Linda to talk to him again.  She is not interested. He almost says he loves her but catches himself and ends up saying he "appreciates" her. Iker appears and wants to be introduced to her "boyfriend".  No, Axel is not her boyfriend. He is her cousin. No, they are not "kissing cousins".  She tells Iker in Italian that she and Axel  are forever family (famiglia per sempre). She is free with no attachments. Axel just looks more aggravated.

Polita doesn't know if she has found the church where Audifaz has been going but asks the "minister" what this building is. At the same time, she hears Audifaz's voice and goes to the room where he is speaking.  He is quoting Proverbs: May love and truth never abandon you . . .    She sees Audifaz standing at a lectern with a woman. She tells him off then and there.

Robert and his family go home. Julieta wants to have a celebratory family meal because of Dave getting the role.  This attempt at normalcy and happiness is soon derailed because Fernando calls Robert on his cellphone.  Dave grabs the phone and sees who the call is from. Can he talk to Fernando?
