Caray, Caray!

Dani, through her contractions, finally makes her way to the kitchen. Hermoso barks her on all the way. She is still on the floor but has her cell phone and calls Gabriel.

At Blanca's, Eugenio is telling Pancho how Dani has always been the strongest of his children. She had to be considering what happened to her brother Robert. Eugenio thinks that she inherited the best of him and Blanca. Eugenio likes Grecia.  They hope that her therapy helps. Eugenio admits he is afraid.  Eugenio feels that Alzheimer's is like a runaway train. It destroys everything in its path and will not stop until everything is blown apart.

Gabriel is still trying to talk sense to Guido. In spite of his difficult life, Guido is not justified in committing a crime especially on  the only person who ever gave him a hand.  Guido tells him to say nothing to Nonno about any of this because he is old. Gabriel says he cannot lie. As Guido  tries to grab Gabriel's phone,  Gabriel throws his phone on the floor and Guido on the couch. Gabriel answers his phone that is ringing now.  Guido tries to hit him in the head with a vase but Gabriel is too fast for him and tells Dani he is coming home to get her. Gabriel leaves and tells Guido that this isn't over yet.


Nonno is romancing Imelda outside of her shop. She wants him to go to a local concert to become acquainted with the culture of Oaxaca. He would love to. A phone call from Crisanta breaks the spell and Nonno has to go answer it in private because it is a"business call from Italy."

Axel recognizes that  Casandra  knows the most about what isn going on in his  office. Casandra agrees to "help" Axel at work to bring him up to speed but Susana says he has to do all of the work himself. He agrees.

Everyone at school is on the playground united in one unexpected activity: belching. Sebas is laughing filming it all on his phone. In the middle of massive belching himself, Hugo tries to tell the kids to calm down and he will find a fix for this situation.  What to do? Go to the nurse's office?  Call the hospital? The school shakes  and trembles with one great belch before changing scenes.

Guido talks to Luigi who is in a restaurant kitchen somewhere again. He tells Luigi that Gabriel knows everything. Guido doesn't have a way out. Luigi reminds him that he had already decided to get rid of Gabriel so why not just finish him off now?

Gabriel races home in his car and almost has an accident  after dropping his phone on the car floor and trying to retrieve it. The other driver gets out of his car to ask Gabriel why he is not paying attention. Gabriel apologizes and tells him that his wife is in labor.

Back at the school, Grecia has gotten some medicine from the nurse for herself, Diana and Hugo to take which should alleviate the symptoms.  Diana says she has never seen anything like this in all of her years in the classroom.  Hugo says it must be something that they all ate or drank. Grecia thinks it was the water. Hugo says he will get to the bottom of this.

Crisanta and Nonno sit outside of her shop. She wants to know why he is so nervous and keeps looking over his shoulder. He doesn't want anyone else noticing her beauty. That is for him only. Crisanta wants an evening date with Nonno so she can show everyone in Oaxaca that they are novios. He likse the idea.

As they are walking outside, Audifaz tells Tulio he doesn't know what he would do without him. Tulio says he is only returning the favor. Tulio has already filed the court papers to sue Polita for custody of Arqui. As Audifaz waffles on really wanting to do this, Tulio tells him that since one of his sons turned out to be homosexual he has no choice.   Tulio adds  that a real man would not be stopped in  doing what was necessary for his family.

Gabriel, all sweaty, red and blotchy,  comes running into the house  to get Dani.  She is worn out. He picks her up in his arms and has a hard time carrying her out. Hermoso whines.

Suddenly,  they are at the hospital where she is being taken to surgery on a gurney. She is in pain again and Gabriel accompanies her cheering her on. Tavo volunteers to notify the family.

Guido arrives at Gabriel's. Dani and Gabriel are gone. Hermoso greets him with a growl. Guido calls Nonno to make small talk and to check that Gabriel hasn't told him anything.  He hasn't so Guido breathes a sigh of relief.

Dani has a Caesarean with Gabriel by her side.

Dani's whole family is in the hospital waiting room including Guido. Everyone is excited, happy but also on edge waiting for the news of the births.

Dani and Gabriela are so happy with their two girls and one boy.  After they all have been delivered, and are being taken to the nursery Gabriel says this is the best moment of his life, of his whole existence. He thanks Dani and tells her they did it. He kisses her and they express their  love for each other.  Suddenly,  Gabriel collapses on the floor.  There is no further  reaction from him.  Dani calls for help.  Her doctor tells her to relax, as she is stitching her up,  because this happens to first time fathers sometimes.  Medical personnel move Gabriel out on a stretcher.

The whole family is still in the waiting room waiting for news and praying.

Gabriel is stabilized in a room but suddenly his hear stops so he has to be shocked.

Dani is still being stitched up but is desperate to know Gabriel's condition.  The doctor tells Dani that since her babies are premature they will be incubators for a while at the hospital so their lungs can finish developing.

Gabriel's heart is not reacting as they would have hoped.  The family needs to be notified.

Guido tells Nonno that he is sorry for what Gabriel is going through but they still have each other.  Guido says Gabriel is like a brother to him. Nonno says Gabriel is like a son.  Nonno thanks Guido for being there with him. He sees Guido and Gabriel as the two pillars of his life. Guido says they will be the same for Gabriel. Guido thinks back at his poison of choice: cyanide. It has a faint almond scent and in high concentrations it can cause acute gastrointestinal  distress and cardiovascular mortality.

The doctor tells Dani that Gabriel has cardiomyopathy. His heart is unable to pump the blood his body needs. He is stabilized but is in very critical condition. Dani becomes hysterical. She needs to see him so as soon as they are done stitching her up,  they roll her bed next to his.  They grab hands. She needs him to be strong. She thinks back to  all their time together. Their children need their father. Gabriel is too weak to talk.  She needs him so much, more than ever. He is the best thing that ever happened to her in her life. Gabriel finally musters all of his strength to tell her he loves her and that he will  be with her forever. She tells him she loves him, too. He closes his eyes and is gone. As his hand slips from hers, and the monitors' alarms ring, she begs him not to go, not to leave her. She begs him to wake up and talk to her.  The medical personnel try to shock him again but he is dead. Dani begs him to come back because she cannot be without him. What about their dream where they and their children were all  supposed to be together?  Dani is informed that sadly nothing else can be done and Gabriel' time of death is recorded. Dani can only think back to happier times at the ocean and cry.

The ghost of Gabriel visits his home and places that meant something special to him and Dani.  He loves her and will be with her always.

Back at school, Diana, Hugo and Grecia put their heads together to try to solve the massive belching incident. Diana says it is strange because they have always followed all the rules and regulations on food and drink served at the school.  Grecia thinks that this was something that someone did on purpose. Hugo goes looking at security video but cannot gain access. He thinks the answer lies in the blocked video. Grecia says the fact that the video is blocked just strengthens her idea that somebody planned an attack on the school.

Outside, the kids talk about the attack. Sebas thought it was fun. Ari says it lasted too long to be fun. Ari thinks it is strange that it happened at school and believes somebody did it on purpose.  He has seen things on the internet like that.   The "united" kids decide that their next mission is to find out who is responsible for it.

At the hospital, all of the family in the waiting room is finding it odd that Gabriel or somebody hasn't come out to give them any information on Dani. Casandra and Clarisa have some news. A nurse told them  out that the babies are in the nursery recuperating and will be staying in their incubators because they still are very tiny.  That makes everyone smile. The doctor finally comes out.  Dani came through the Caesarean very well. The three babies are being stabilized in their incubators where they will remain about two weeks to support their lung development.  She says there is, however,  some bad news. Gabriel had a heart attack and died.   They all scream and cry while Guido breathes a big sigh of relief and tries not to smile.

Back on the playground, Frida mentions to Ari that she heard grandma Imelda talk to Tulio about taking  Arqui away from his mother.

Still at the hospital with Pancho,  Susana labels this a nightmare.  How can she support her family? First it was the bad news about Eugenio and now this.  Pancho says death is something that cannot be understood. Look at him. He has been through it twice. Susana talks about her father. Pancho says they will have to give Dani and her babies a lot of help. Susana cannot believe such a young man had a heart attack. Pancho calls it a tragedy and says that Robert and Julieta have to be notified. Susana says that is his family's prerogative.

Dani can only stare as she goes over her last minutes with Gabriel in  her head. Eugenio and Linda come to see her. Eugenio wants to know how he can take away the pain. Dani says he can't. Linda tells her she is not alone. Dani goes hysterical and rips out her IV line and screams that Gabriel cannot be dead.  They finally get her to calm down.

The ghost of Gabriel visits his children and tells them that they have the best mother in the world.
