She has no idea of  how to fix this situation. If Dave doesn't come home, she will never be happy again. She feels broken. She doesn't know where to turn. Catalina says she is always there for her.

Susana and Pancho talk and chuckle in the hall. It sure was obvious that his kids aren't too crazy about her. She wonders what the kids will do when they tell them they are in love. They surely are not going to accept it. Pancho says they will  have to take it step by step.  Maybe it would be better to take advantage of her visit for a little kiss. She starts and stops because  it would be too risky.  She says she really came to deliver the documents form her lawyer to the Córcega's. Pancho ask if she didn't really come to see his big old mustache. No, she came to see him Pancho López, too.  They are soon interrupted by a sneezing Blanca. They jump apart and face in opposite directions. Blanca asks who scolded them because they look like two kids in the corner. Susana tells her she is there to deliver  a document verifying Susana's percentage of ownership in the apartment building. Blanca says she is happy that Pancho is staying although she is not happy they are losing the apartment. Susana says she has to admit that it is her family that is forcing the issue. Susana does not want to fight that is why  she has come with a legal statement. Blanca has to ask Susana if she has thought about spending time with her brothers.
