In the company board
room, Lucía asks the three amigos, Barretos, Cardenas, and Requeña, what is
going on, Barretos lies and tells her that they were just discussing getting
together during the week-end and including their wives. When she asks about the
“dirt” on her, Barretos nose grows even bigger when he tells her that they were
just commenting on her interview regarding Armenta; they are hoping that won’t
tarnish her image. After she thanks them for their concern, she asks to speak
alone to Barretos.
In his office, Johny is
questioning the chief photographer who tells him that the entire photography
department was present at the event. When Johny asks if anyone else has access
to those photos, the man assures him that no one has access; the photos were
sent directly to Don Carvajal’s e-mail. Johny suggests that the photo may have
been sent to someone else, but the man (as he reaches for the photo and
practically gets a slap on his hand from Johny) assures him that the protocol
has always been the same.
At the boardroom, Lucía
is now alone with Barretos and asks him if he isn’t going to tell her what he
and his partners were talking about. After Barretos reiterates his lie, Lucía
drops it and hands him a notebook with a proposal of all the programming
changes she wants made in the various forms of media they have. She wants his
opinion. When he asks if she only wants his opinion or that of others, she
confirms that, for now, she just wants his opinion. She wants to know what he
thinks of her now since he has had a nefarious opinion of her up to now and has
been on Eva’s side. Barretos still doesn’t understand what she wants; so Lucía
explains that there are three ways of doing things; the correct way, the wrong
way, and the way she does things. Barretos agrees to read her proposal.
In the bat cave, LCJ types
an anonymous e-mail to Guille (Wow, in addition to being a Hawtie, he’s a great
typist!). He states that it would be wise to conduct a full review of the all
the financial transactions that have been made since the death of his father.
In addition to that, he asks if it isn’t odd that the Carvajal Group is now
supporting a candidate that his father refused to support all his life.
SSssssss...the sound of bacon on a hot griddle.
In his office, Guille
finishes reading the e-mail when Eva comes in to ask why it is that Mayela is
now saying that there is nothing between them. Guille responds that it is
true…there is nothing between them. Eva brings up the party and the kiss; so
Guille explains that all of it was a misunderstanding…they are just friends.
Eva warns him to be careful since Mayela has just started her program in their
company; and Mayela could come out losing. Guille, however, thinks that the
gossip could benefit Mayela and increase her ratings. Eva hopes so because, if
not, Guille will have to come up with another star for the program. As she
leaves, Eva reminds Guille about the meeting with the programmers, but Guille
has no clue what she is talking about. When Eva asks if his secretary is not
keeping him informed, Guille tells her that it was he who simply forgot about
the meeting. After Eva leaves, Guille quickly gets up to check Renata’s
desk—Nopis! Not there!
Renata is at home poking
at her cereal as she speaks to Keila on the phone. When Keila tells her that
there is chaos since Mayela made the announcement that she and Guille are not
‘novios,’ Renata insists that she saw them kissing at the party and hugging in
his office. Keila doesn’t know about that; what she does know is that Mayela is
taking a hit since she is now discrediting something that she announced in the
first place. Keila tries to convince Renata to talk to Guille, but Renata
sticks to her guns; she already quit and isn’t going back to work…the story
that never was with Guille is now finished (nice little drama, Queen Reni!)
After she ends the call, Renata thinks about her kiss with Guille and forsakes
herself for thinking about it.
In SA, Beltrino and Barb
are sitting on a ledge as Beltrino is instructing Barb on using a walkie-talkie
and what she will need to do (good luck with that, Beltie!). Barb doesn’t want
to be there when the shooting starts, but Beltrino tells her that he needs her
for his plan…he needs her to take care of the rabbit and to shut up. (Maybe
Rabbit part optional ?) Barb wants to
know exactly what she is supposed to do…and reassurance that nothing will
happen to her. Beltrino, however, tells her that the sure thing he knows about
the life he led is that you never know how things will turn out…as he arms his
BIG rifle. Meanwhile, at the scorpion’s nest, Lupita tells Marino that El Chino
is not going to appear. When she reminds him that they are going to kill her
and asks that he let her go, Marino quickly gets up and tells her he can’t do
that…if he does, he will be the one that they kill.
Alacrán and gang arrive
at the airport in SA. Alacrán reminds them that the job today is very
important…he will be taking El Chino’s head to Don Terecio as a surprise. Back
at the nest, Mugres goes in to bother Lupita. As he gropes her, Marino arrives
and pulls her off him…which causes Mugres’s blade to fall near Lupita. As they
fight, Lupita grabs and hides the blade. Mugres finally leaves after he tells
Marino that he isn’t going to forget that he messed with him.
At the Carvajal home,
Juls is by the pool when Vale brings her a drink, but she refuses it. Juls is
frustrated and cries because they won’t answer her calls; she thinks Alacrán
isn’t answering because he already killed her mother. Vale thinks that they
need to think positively or they will get in bad shape. Juls hates her
father…all of this is happening because of him. When she tells Vale that she
doesn’t know what she will do if something happens to her mother, Vale responds
that no one can replace her mother…but Juls has Vale. Vale then suggests that
they swim a while as a distraction. Juls agrees as they look at the pool with
floating daisies and rose petals…oh my, precursor of things to come! Once Vale
leaves to get the swim suits, LCJ is seen in the background by a tree and
looking at Juls.
At Alacrán’s nest, Lupita
is alone; so she takes out the blade and cuts herself free. She slowly goes
outside, but is stopped by Marino. As he asks her where she is going, Mugres
comes from behind and shoots him…dead. He turns and grabs Lupita as he tells
her that he isn’t going to kill her because he doesn’t want problems with the
boss, but by the time she leaves there, she will be just as stiff as Marino. As
he takes her back to the laundry room, Lupita pleads with Mugres to let her go.
Mugres agrees (yeah, sure!), but she has to pay him first with a favor. Think,
think, think, now what could he be getting at?
I bet he wants a free Lotto ticket Loopi.
At the company, Mayela is
in her dressing room arguing with someone on the phone and telling them that
she won’t be giving any interviews until things settle down. Just then, Guille
arrives to ask how she is doing. After he th anks her for clearing things up,
Maye-la-charmer tells him she would do anything to get his trust back. Once
Guille tells her she has accomplished that, Mayela takes advantage of the
opportunity and asks if that means he will go out with her that night. Guille
stutters before telling her he has to go out right now, but he will let her
know later (bad idea to string her along, buddy!). Mayela accepts his response,
but warns him that everyone will be asking for him.
At the Carvajal pool,
Juls and Vale are in the water surrounded by the floating daisies and rose
petals. Vale wants Juls to try to forget about everything and relax for a
while. She then suggests that they have a swimming lesson and Juls agrees. Vale
holds her gently as Juls tries to float. Vale encourages Juls and slowly lets
her go until Juls is floating on her own. Vale then holds Juls’s hand as Vale
floats beside Juls. They finally stand laughing and giggling as the hold each other.
After Vale tells Juls that she is very proud of her, they continue to hold each
other as they get closer and kisssss…
Now, about that Rabbit,,,
In her apartment, Renata
watches Vicky’s show as Vicky talks about the relationship between Guille and Mayela.
Vicky announces that everyone’s question is: are they or are they not “novios?”
As suggested by Mayela, Vicky gives her professional opinion and states that
public figures normally don’t like people talking about their private lives.
Vicky continues, but Renata turns off the TV not wanting to hear anymore. Just
then, the doorbell rings. When she opens the door, Guille stands there looking
like a little school boy who knows he’s on trouble.
In SA, Alacrán and his
men arrive to meet El Chino in a nice, expensive silver Lincoln truck.
Meanwhile, Beltrino watches from a rooftop ready with his BIG high-powered rifle.
As the men look around and are suspicious about the place, Beltrino sends a
message asking about Lupita. The men duck and hide like the rats they are;
Alacrán calls the number to see if he can locate El Chino, but hears nothing.
Beltrino sends another message again asking for Lupita and adding that he even
brought Alacrán a rabbit. After Alacrán reads it, Beltrino wonders where Lupita
could be. He then calls Barb and tells her to release the rabbit. When Barbara
releases the rabbit, Beltrino gets ready…
At
Renata’s place, Renata hands Guille a glass of water and asks why he came over.
Guille wants to talk about her resignation; it was somewhat unprofessional
since she left without notice. When he asks what happened, Renata tells him
that she no longer felt comfortable there and preferred to leave. Guille
questions further and asks if he treated her badly; Renana responds that at
first, he did treat her badly. When she tries to continue, Guille tells her not
to use Castillo as an excuse; he’s just not going to believe that one. Renata
wants to leave well enough alone, but Guille insists and asks if it has to do
with what happened between them. Renata slowly turns to him and admits that,
yes, that is the reason.
In SA, Gancho spots the
rabbit that is hopping toward him. As the rabbit approaches, Alacrán (or
someone dressed like him) steps out and bends to get the rabbit. As he does,
Beltrino takes a shot and the man falls
forward. Gancho looks up to where the shot came from. Hot Damn, this is a LOT more fun than swimming!
At Cami’s house, Cami
talks to LCJ on the phone and tells him that he already uploaded the ad to his
webpage. LCJ doesn’t think it’ll work and tells Cami that his bleeding started
again. Cami wants him to write down everything about it; it’s important for his
research. Once LCJ hangs up, Lucía approaches and asks if everything is okay…he
has blood. She tries to reach out to him, but LCJ flinches and avoids her
touch.
In SA, bullets are flying
everywhere as Alacrán’s goons shoot at Beltrino and the bunny hops away. A
couple of the goons carry in the body of the goon wearing Alacrán’s jacket as
Gancho points out to Alacrán that a man was killed; Alacrán nods. Beltrino
manages to get down from the rooftop and finds Barb inside an old warehouse. He
looks out of windows to see where the goons are when he gets a text from Alacrán
informing him that he shot at someone else and to prepare for what’s coming.
Beltrino thinks he has Alacrán running scared.
In the veranda of the
Carvajal home, Lucía asks about LCJ bleeding and wonders if it is a tattoo. LCJ
tells her it’s an old injury and that she shouldn’t worry about it. She tries
to look at it, but he moves back, avoiding her touch once more. Lucía then
wonders how long LCJ will be treating her with such indifference. When she asks
if she can count on him, LCJ assures her that she can…after all he is, as she
says, her chauffeur…unless she needs some other type of service; he is
available. Lucía clarifies that she is not talking about his services; she is
talking about his heart. LCJ assures her she can; all she has to do is say the
word. Lucía gets exasperated with LCJ’s indifference and tells him that she
needs to go change so he needs to get the car ready. LCJ coldly replies, “Yes,
ma’am.”
Juls and Vale are sitting
nervously by the poolside when Silvina comes to tell them that lunch is ready.
Time flew so quickly since they were having so much “fun” that Vale hadn’t even
realized that it was lunchtime. Vale tells Silvina that they will have lunch
outside. When Silvina leaves, Vale still feels awkward so she goes to get
something to drink.
In SA, the shootout
continues. Gancho yells at Alacrán that El Chino didn’t come alone. Meanwhile,
Beltrino’s partner sits crying hysterically with her hands over her ears. What about the Rabbit? Is it OK?
As the shooting
continues, Alacrán and Beltrino communicate via text messages until Alacrán
calls El Chino and Beltrino finally answers. After Beltrino taunts Alacrán,
Alacrán counters that Beltrino won’t even bring him down with an army. Alacrán
then asks who he is because he is not El Chino. Beltrino answers that what El
Chino sent him is on the rabbit’s ear. Once they end the call, Alacrán shouts
at his goons to get the rabbit. Meanwhile, Beltrino shouts at Barb that Alacrán
is alive and to shut up.
At the Carvajal home,
Vale is getting herself a shot of mescal. When she walks over to give Juls a
drink, Juls is gone. Vale ponders on everything that happened. Meanwhile, as
Juls walks out, she bumps into Lucía who asks if she is Vale’s friend. After
Juls confirms that she is Vale’s friend, she tells Lucía that she has to be on
her way because it’s late. Lucía offers her a ride since her chauffeur just
drove up, but Juls refuses and would rather walk. Once Juls walks away, LCJ
drives up closer at Lucía’s summoning. He hesitates to get down; so Lucía tells
him not to bother opening the door…she can do it herself. She has a hissy fit
when LCJ doesn’t even close the door for her.
At the Scorpion’s nest,
Lupita wipes her bloody mouth as she remembers that she still has Murges’s
blade. She gets up to try to escape, but the door is locked.
On their way to the
company, LCJ asks Lucía if everything is okay…she seems a bit nervous. Lucía is
still upset and wonders if it is his arrogance that makes him think he knows
what is going on with others. LCJ
insists on asking why she is nervous. He wonders if it’s because of her romance
with the drug trafficker and is afraid that Johny will find out or is she
afraid that her husband’s daughters will find out that Johny is her lover…which
also wouldn’t be good for her. Lucía gives him a vexed look; and LCJ chuckles
telling her to calm down…she can trust him as if he were a life-long friend.
After Lucía opens the
door and jumps out (while the car is still moving), LCJ follows her, pulls her back by the arm and asks her if
what he said hurt her. Lucía responds that what hurts her most is having fallen
in love with him…he is the best thing that has happened to her in all her
life. When she walks off, LCJ is
stymied.
In SA, the shooting still
continues. Alacrán sends off Gancho as he covers him. Inside the warehouse,
Beltrino goes to Barb who is still hysterical and asking why the shooting is
continuing if she saw Alacrán fall after being shot. Beltrino grunts that it
wasn’t Alacrán…Alacrán fooled him. As Barb continues her hysterics, Beltrino
tells her that if they don’t leave now, things will get much worse! He then
tells her how to get out and to get into the car to wait for him there, but
Barb doesn’t want to move…they are going to kill him! (Slap her already!) When
Beltrino goes back to the window, Barb finally starts to go to the car.
Meanwhile, a goon brings the rabbit to Alacrán. Back with Beltrino, he runs out
to find that Barb is already driving off; so he yells at her and wonders if she
was going to leave him there. They finally whiz off outta there. Meanwhile,
Alacrán removes what looks like a wine corl from the rabbit’s foot and caresses
the rabbit as Gancho tells him that they should tell Mugres to finally kill
Lupita.
At the scorpion’s nest,
Mugres receives the call from Gancho to kill Lupita. As Mugres smiles and tells
Gancho about killing Marino, Lupita is working on the door leading into the
house to get it open…which she finally does. As she walks slowly down the stairs,
Mugres goes to get another liquor bottle and suddenly hears a noise.
Juls arrives at Perlita’s
place and asks Pancho and Perlita if they have heard anything, but they
haven’t. Perlita knows that the 48 hours are almost up and encourages Juls to
not give up. Perlita thinks Juls’s father will appear and everything will be
fine.
At the Carvajal poolside,
Vale is asleep when Lucho wakes her as he holds a bouquet of roses for her. He
apologizes for losing it and know he’s an idiot (to put it mildly)…an idiot who
is in love with her. He then apologizes for being rude to her friend and
assures her that he doesn’t want to police her; she can have all the friends
she wants (Oh how sweet, he’s giving her permission to have friends…BLECH).
When he tells her that he doesn’t want them to grow apart, Vale offers him a
drink and accepts the roses.
At Renata’s place, Guille
is trying to convince Renata that she can’t leave her job without notice or
because of what happened between them. Renata reminds him that it was a kiss
that happened there in her apartment; and it was a kiss that neither of them
remember. When Renata brings up Mayela and the kiss that the whole world knows
about, Guille reiterates that he and Mayela are only life-long friends. He continues that Mayela was the one that
kissed him; he doesn’t know how it happened…maybe it was the alcohol…he can’t
really explain it. He then tries to explain about the press and how it runs off
with any type of news; it was all just a misunderstanding. When Renata asks if
their own kiss meant nothing to either, Guille pleads with her to return to
work; he promises to be the best boss and he won’t go see Mr. Castillo without
her. That did it! Renata starts to melt…and agrees to go back to work. Just
then the doorbell rings…and Teo walks in asking if she is ready for dinner. Oooh,
bad timing! Bubbles start bursting.
At the scorpion’s nest,
Mugres goes to the laundry room and sees that Lupita is not there. He curses
Lupita and takes out his weapon as he storms out. Meanwhile, Lupita is running frantically
down a sidewalk. Mugres and his goons jump into their truck to go look for her.
Lupita tries to stop a car to get help, but the driver whizzes off. Just then,
the scorpion truck shows up and Lupita starts to run away, but Mugres draws his
weapon and shoots her. After he gets off and is about to shoot her again, a cop
car appears with sirens blasting; so Mugres runs back to the truck and they
take off, leaving Lupita shot and lying in the middle of the street, but
hopeofully not dead.
