Caray, Caray!

The fight continues. Robert and Pancho duck and dive like a choreographed team. Vicente's friend ends up on the floor. Pancho takes some salt /spice mix from the bar and throws a handful in Vicente's face. Vicente complains that he cannot see. Robert throws a glass of booze in Vicente's friend's face.
Vicente ends up beating up his own friend since he cannot see who he is punching.

As they embroider, Blanca tells Julieta to just take it easy since this is a delicate task and she has a needle and not a hammer.  Blanca wants to know more about Julieta's first date with Robert.  Julieta, with a smile,  talks about when Robert came to pick her up.   Hugo stood in the doorway to prevent them from leaving being very possessive as he always has been. Blanca supposes that Robert must have had a fiery response. Julieta explains that isnot Robert.  He feels bad after killing a mosquito.  Robert is the most  peaceful person  that she knows. He'd never get involved in a fight.


In the meantime, Robert is getting knocked around. He hurts his own hand as he punches Vicente's friend and then gets his own lights punched out. The police finally arrive.

Julieta tells Blanca she is just making her remembering so much. Blanca thinks that remembering is living. Julieta remarks that her mother was making hot dogs with guacamole so Robert asked her to pack them up to go so Julieta and he could take them with them.  Her brother, being a fool, said he was going with them to the party. And here Blanca said she thought that Julieta's family was less complicated than the Córcega's.  Julieta answers no way but Robert found the perfect way to get along with the family that he married into.   Robert stole Julieta's heart from  the very first day.

The police listen to all four of the brawlers. Pancho says they were all fine until they started being baited by the light haired one.  The police officer really does not care who started what. Didn't they realize that they were in a private business? He is going to have to take all four down to the station. Robert tries to reason with the police officer saying that they understand what they did is wrong. It won't happen again.  They should have thought of a more mature way of solving their problems.  The other three agree.  The policeman decides that if the owner of the bar decides not to press charges, he will let them go with a warning. Pancho gets up and starts counting his wad of bills.  The policeman asks if he is thinking of paying him off. No, Pancho is planning on reimbursing the bar owner for the damage that they caused him and to buy all of the patrons a mezcal.  Everyone cheers. Pancho is sure that what he is offering the bar owner will cover all of the repairs that need to be done. The bar owner just shakes his head in disbelief.

Julieta now finds herself in the kitchen with Blanca cutting up vegetables.  Blanca wants to take advantage of her time with Julieta. She wants to spend lots of evenings together so she can hear Julieta and Robert's whole love story. Julieta looks surprised.

As Pancho and Robert leave with bottles of cold water held against their faces, Pancho compliments Robert on his "talking" abilities.  He saved them all from going to jail.  Pancho impressed Robert with with his ability to pay for all of the damage. Pancho hopes that he didn't spoil Robert's relationship with Vicente. Robert says no worries because they talked it over already. Robert says he never was in a fight like that. Pancho changes the topic. He still hasn't told his children about his novia Susana.  That is going to be a BIG problem. Also, they still have to come up with a plan for Robert to win Julieta's heart again.

Blanca thinks that Julieta's and Robert's love story is so impressive it should go on unti they are very old.  She advises Julieta not to allow resentment to take over. Julieta says it isn't resentment. It just feels like something broke  between them.  Blanca reminds her that what has been torn can be sewn back together. If one works hard enough, in the end you will never even know that a tear was there.

Pancho offers Robert some advice. Robert has a great heart but he cannot spend his life trying to make everybody happy. He needs to find a balance. He and Julieta are very different people so Robert  needs to understand that she will not think like he does.

Blanca continues and tells Julieta that Robert is a good complement for her as a marriage partner. He is vey calm and Julieta is . . . Julieta fills in the world "intense". Blanca says better Julieta say it but that is why they are a "magical" couple. Julieta sees them as "magnetic."It is the old opposites attract.

Robert always saw Julieta as his refuge but then they lost their balance. Pancho tells him now is the time to get it back.  He needs to heal his relationship just like they are going to heal the bruises.

Blanca uses the the metaphor of the atole she is making.  She and Robert both bring different ingredients to the recipe. If the ingredients are out of proportion, the recipe won't work.  Julieta admits that she goes to extremes some times but she cannot help herself.  Blanca sees that Julieta has changed a lot. She can tell that her family is now her priority. Blanca smiles. She reminds Julieta that Robert loves her and to let her bad thoughts go little by little.

Pancho tells Robert that although his relationship problems won't be solved right away, he needs to keep in mind the things that brought him and Julieta together.  That is how love is cooked up!

Gabriel thinks about his infertility problem  with Hermoso.

Robert and Pancho show up at Blanca's where Julieta and Blanca cannot believe what they see.  As Blanca and Julieta tend to their wounds, Pancho and Robert moan in unison.  Robert complains that the slice of beef now hanging from his face is so cold. Julieta says it serves him right for fighting. Pancho blames it on some brutes who started it all. Robert wants to know why he cannot have some ice instead of a hunk of beef. Blanca is hearing none of it!  Robert thinks he smells atole. Pancho does to.  It smells so good . . . Blanca and Julieta tell them NO! in unison. Pancho says he knows that they have to be punished. Blanca starts to laugh. Robert dares to ask for some atole and Blanca gives his ear a good pull and he moans in pain.  Blanca and Julieta can only laugh.  Julieta tells Robert not to complain so much.  Robert admits that his ears were the only thing that didn't get pummeled.  In unison Robert and Pancho tell the women that they should have seen how they OTHER guys looked after the fight.  Blanca invites Julieta to a delicious atole.  They leave the boys with the slices of beef hanging on their faces.

Finally Julieta helps Robert into bed.  She never saw him fight like that even when they were novios. He knows and admits to thinking back to before they were novios. She smiles slightly and says she was remembering that time, too.  Robert tells her he will win her heart back.  Julieta is still smiling.

As Blanca is washing the dishes she asks Dave how he is doing memorizing his lines for "Oliver Twist." He tells her that his part was given away to Julio.  He asks Blanca not to tell his parents.  Blanca is upset and insists that that is not going to happen.  She will talk to the director right away.

Axel runs into Linda at the school and they talk in an empty classroom.  The long and the short of it is that Linda wants to be friends and Axel wants to be more than friends.  It really hurt him when she chose Iker over him. She made him believe in love again. He kisses her. Iker sees them through the open window. She finally pushes him away and tells him it is all bad between them. Iker doesn't deserve this. He wants to know why she cannot accept that he loves her.

Gabriel and Dani are out for a walk.  Gabriel is confident that soon they will have a baby in the oven. Daniela says the important thing is just not to give up. Gabriel never would but then  trips and falls and as he does, he loses his grip on Hermoso's leash. The dog starts to run and Dani goes chasing after him.

Blanca tells Iker how cruel it is to give a child a part in the play and then to take it away. He understands her being upset and suggests they go and talk in a classroom for more privacy.

Robert thanks Vicente for  being so understanding about what happened in the bar last night.  Vicente sees it as just being at the wrong place at the wrong time.  Robert continues and tells Vicente that he will be unable to replace him in Africa.  He has chosen to make his family his priority.

Axel keeps going on and on explaining his feelings to Linda..  He knows their relationship won't be easy because they are cousins and their families' attitudes about that but he is willing to fight for her love. He is open to doing anything for her.  He wants a chance to show her what he feels.  They kiss. Blanca and Iker walk in on them.  Blanca cannot believe what she is seeing.  Why is Linda kissing her cousin?  Iker gives Linda the stank eye.

Susana beings Sebas to school and they run into Pancho with his bruised face.  She asks what happened.  They end up jus smiling at each other which makes Sebas  move in between them and ask why they are looking at each other that" way.  He demands to know what is going on so Susana tells him right then and there that she and Pancho are novios.

At work, Casandra comes in with a huge box for Julieta.  Julieta opens the card on the gift. It is from Robert who says it is time to get some balance back in their lives. She needs to remember that he loves her with all of his soul.  He hopes she likes this fist step in the process of winning her heart all over again. Julieta smiles. The box is filled with heart shaped helium filled balloons. Julieta is happy.

Bratty Sebas throws a tantrum.   The bottom line is that his father is back in Mexico and Sebas wants the four of them to be together again.  Susana reminds him that she and his father have been divorced for a long time. She only wants to get along better with Sebas.  He sees her having fooled him.  She  was only nice to him so he would accept Pancho.  She is a hypocrite. Pancho tells him not to be so unfair to his mother. Sebas tells him to shut up. He will never accept Pancho because he HATES him.  Susana looks stricken. Sebas runs into school.

Blanca has had it with Linda and says this is the last straw. She thought that they were staying away from each other. Blanca was under the impression that Linda had matured in Europe and had realized she cannot do things without thinking. Linda starts in with "But, mom . . ." but Blanca is not interested.  How could she go this far with her cousin?  Linda reminds her Axel is her half-cousin.  Blanca agrees but the issue is that Axel is still a part of the family, her blood relative and anything between them is forbidden.  Axel has the nerve to ask "Forbidden by who?"and Blanca tells him to shut up and answers "By nature"  Iker next lets Linda have it saying that he trusted her.  Diana has arrived and wants to know what is going on and reminds them all that they are in a school and looks at Iker.  Iker explains that Blanca had come to the classroom to discuss why Dave no longer had the role in the play and when they came into the classroom, Linda and Axel were there. Diana is concerned that a child could have walked in on them.   Diana is also upset  that Iker took away Dave's role without asking her permission first.  Then there is the issue of him letting unauthorized people into the school.  At this point, she doesn't have much confidence in him so she is cancelling the play.  Blanca tells Linda they are leaving right now.  She is lucky her father didn't see her because he would have died from the shame of it all.    When Axel and Iker are left alone, Axel wants to know if Iker brought Linda's mother there on purpose so she would catch them.  Iker tells him if Linda was going to cheat on his with her cousin, her family was going to know and he is happy her family found out.

Bratty Sebas had decided to run away.  Susana is crying that her son hates her. Pancho tells her that he needs time to get used to the idea of them being together.  Susana is not so sure that they can deal with these kinds of problems with their children. What if their children never accept their relationship? She tells Pancho that the kids come first.

Temo puts Ari on the spot. Why did he stop him from leaving?  Ari says that Oaxaca wouldn't be the same without him. Life is all about confronting problems and you have  to be brave and accept who you are.

Dani and Gabriel are frantic looking for Hermoso. Nobody has seen him. They cannot lose him.

Next Julieta gets a tablet with family photos from Robert along with the message that Robert loves her because of the way she makes him feel. Julieta is smiling again.  She has wonderful thoughts of them together. There is also a mystery key. . .

Robert explains to Vincent about this not being the best time to leave his family for a stint in Africa because of his son, this not being the best moment for him and Julieta  and having to leave their own house.  Vincent is happy that Robert is being honest because he is doing things the complete opposite of what Vicente did. He gave his priority to his career and now he is trying to get his family back.  Robert is not judging.  Everyone has their own priorities and has to fulfill their own dreams and goals. For him having people who love you is the only way to true happiness.

Julieta has also received a box of chocolates.  Catalina comes into her office and is impressed that her favorite son-in-law is winning Julieta's heart just like he did when they first met.  Catalina tells her when there is love, you have to take advantage of every minute.  Julieta has to forgive Robert. Life has given the  chance to be happy again by returning Dave to them Julieta shouldn't be the one to separate from her "magnet".  Julieta smiles even more.  Catalina would really like one of those chocolates.  They think back on Julieta's first date with Robert.  Catalina ate all of the chocolates and Robert moved through all of the obstacles as if they were nothing. Catalina warns her not to let pain and pride win over her love for Robert.  Julieta gets a text message that Blanca is calling a family meeting.  Blanca has described it as urgent with praying hand emojis in multiples.

Blanca says she is going to need like a liter of tea to calm herself down and try to forget the image that she witnessed.  It just replays over and over in her head. Linda apologizes a thousand times.  Blanca says it is  not a matter of forgiving her.  Having seen her like that with Axel means that Linda has been laughing behind all of their their backs for a looooong time. Her poor father and grandmother when they find out. Linda begs her not to tell them. All Blanca knows is that Linda played her for a fool.  Linda had a good guy in Iker but chose to get herself in a mess with a family member?  How to punish Linda? How to make her think? Well, that is why Blanca has called a family meeting.  Linda begs her to cancel it. She will take any punishment Blanca wants to dish out but just please do not tell the rest of the family.
