Caray, Caray!

As they leave Catalina's house, Alejandro wants to take Leonor to his jewelry  business to show her around and return the ring.  She wants to go to the Rodolfo Lazar lecture. He is a famous photographer and she wanted to meet him but now all of the tickets are sold out. Alejandro thinks that his mother with her influence could get her a meeting with Lazar. As they are talking,  José Carlos comes out agitated looking for the car keys. Alejandro tells him they are where they always are: in the car and tells him he cannot drive in the state he is in. José Carlos gets in anyway. Leonor jumps in the passenger seat and  tells him he does not have the right to put the lives of others at risk and that only he is the one who is responsible for the situation he is in and how to fix it. That gives José Carlos something to think about.

Back in Acapulco, Francisco and Catalina are both making calls trying to find out what happened to Ambar. Nobody has heard from her. Catalina pledges her help to find Ambar because this does involve her and Francisco. 

When Francisco leaves, Catalina goes quietly to the utility room to chick on Ambar. She is lying quietly on the floor where Catalina left her.  Catalina rips the duct tape off her mouth and is shocked when Ambar makes a noise and awakens. She starts to scream for Catalina to get her out of there so Catalina quickly exits and locks the door behind her. 

Francisco is back home in Mexico City and calls Catalina to tell  her that Ambar didn't take anything but the car so he is going to give that information to the police.  As Catalina is talking to him she is rooting around Ambar's car  in Acapulco and tells Francisco not to contact the police.  Diego can handle it.  Catalina finds what she wants: Ambar's medication. She wonders aloud  if maybe Ambar overdosed on her medication.  Francisco doesn't think so. Catalina hopes not and tells him to let his nephews know what is going on. 

Alejandro accompanies Leonora to work and she shows him her "super office": her desk in the midst of a sea of desks. He sees a handout with information about Lazar on it. Yes, he is her idol. Alejandro gets a call. He has to go in to work. His aunt has been missing since last night. One of Leonora's co-workers excitedly runs over to find out what is going on between Leonora and Alejandro. 

Back in Acapulco in the utility room, Ambar is begging for Catalina to just let her go. She admits that Catalina already has what she wanted the most: Francisco. Catalina has no idea what she is going to do with Ambar. Ambar goes on talking saying she didn't slepe with Catalina's husband and she didn't kill Carlos.  Catalina tells her that she started this whole mess with her jealousy. Catalina adits she might be selfish but Ambar is crazy. That is why her husband looked for another woman's bed, her bed.  Ambar is sick. She goes on to explain that the problem with being the "victim" is that people expect you to do crazy things. 

Back at the jewelry office, Francisco is discussing Ambar's disappearance with his nephews. José Carlos says they all knew that his aunt was not well but he wants to know what made her lose control and leave. Francisco says she was imagining things saying that he was their mother's lover.  She was getting really bad and following him all of the time.  Alejandro tells Francisco to calm down because Diego is out looking for her. That is news to José Carlos.  Why not the police? He answers his own question sarcastically:  the family has to avoid any kind of scandal.  José Carlos decides to just do the easy thing and call Ambar. Catalina picks up on the other end but says nothing. José Carlos starts to talk and Francisco takes over. Catalina hangs up. 

Ambar begs for her life but Catalina cannot take the risk.  She tells Ambar that she caused Carlos's death and almost killed her. If she loves Francisco so much why not let him be happy? Ambar asks with a crazy murderer ??? and is answered with a slap across the face.  Catalina decides she needs another dose of her medication and  stuffs Ambar's mouth full of her medication and makes her swallow it all.

Catalina texts José Carlos on Ambar's phone and pretending to be Ambar explains that she  just needs a little time alone to decide what she wants to do. Also, she doesn't want Francisco to come looking for her.  After hearing that, José Carlos asks Francisco if he would like to tell them the truth. Why doesn't Francisco tell them who his lover is. Francisco insists he doesn't have a lover.  José Carlos looks like he doesn't believe him.

Alejandro goes to his office where Miguel is waiting for him. He is there to get a job. He has some ideas on how to add a more modern and sophisticated touch to  the Gothier jewelry business that already has class, a high level of distinction and tradition. He hands a proposal to Alejandro. Alejandro likes Miguel's idea a lot. Miguel goes in for a kiss but Alejandro tells him not here at the office. A frustrated  Miguel asks then where already?  He misses him. Alejandro says they can get together tonight.  Miguel adds only if his girlfriend will allow it.  He goes on how much he needs Alejandro and how he is driving him crazy. Alejandro says to show him. As they start to nuzzle, José Carlos barges in. He excuses himself and leaves. Alejandro explains to Miguel that is exactly what he was warning him about.

Alejandro goes after José Carlos where he tries to convince him that  he didn't see what he saw. With a smile, José Carlos says he has no problem with the way things are. It is just  that Alejandro shouldn't be doing those things  at the office. That is for him to do.  Francisco comes by wondering about Ambar. José Carlos tells him to leave her alone  since that is what she asked him to do via the text message. That is not so easy.

Francisco calls Catalina. He feels guilty. She says she does, too, because if it weren't for her planning their trip his little wife would be safe and sound at home. He wants to talk to Diego so he can race the text messages. Catalina sees the text message to José Carlos as a way for Ambar to punish Francisco. Any woman would do the same. Francisco is worried if she talks. Catalina is sure she won't. Catalina offers to come back if he needs her. No, he doesn't. They will keep each other updated on the situation. 

Catalina goes back to the utility room and looks at Ambar unconscious or dead on the floor. 

Diego talks to Julius in Africa. He is not pleased because Julius promised to send maps and the satellite location of the new diamond deposit and nothing has arrived.  If he does not get those items, Julius can forget about them and the money. They have until noon tomorrow.  Diego gets a call from Catalina. She needs him at Esmeralda (Emerald) in Acapulco NOW. He hurries off and runs into José Carlos.  Diego asks José Carlos if his job is to listen behind closed doors. José Carlos says you can hear some interesting things but he has a question for Diego. He asks Diego for the name of the girl he hired to set him up. Diego doesn't know what he is talking about. José Carlos doesn't agree and is just putting him on notice that he is going to investigate and find out. 

Leonora and Luis play with his son Matías. They make it clear that Leonora is Luis's friend but not his girlfriend.  ice cream, popcorn and fun are on the menu.

José Carlos is out at the disco. He picks up a girl. They end up having sex. She wants to top it off with some cocaine. José Carlos refuses to partake and leaves. 

As Leonora holds a sleeping Matías, Luis says how he really needed an evening like they just had. It coms up that Luis doesn't like Alejandro the son of Catalina Creel at all. They put Matías to bed. He  explains that Alejandro is not the man for Leonora. He says she needs a man who can tell how she is doing by just looking at her eyes, someone who will love her forever, and who won't change her. Luis adds that he doesn't want her to get the wrong idea. She knows and says that she loves her friend Luis a lot. She leaves.  

At home, Alejandro finds it necessary to tell José Carlos that what he saw at the office wasn't what he saw one more time. José Carlos shrugs and says it wasn't anything. Alejandro has  to go on and explain that he is really very much in love with Leonora. Looking a bit incredulous, José Carlos remarks that was a little fast, wasn't it? Alejandro agrees and adds that he also wanted to make it clear that it has nothing to do with his father's will.  José Carlos does have something to say about it all. If it were Alejandro's choice, he would never pick Leonora or any woman for that matter because he likes men. He is his mother's puppet.  When Alejandro starts to disagree, José Carlos says as his older brother, even though they never have been like real brothers, it  is his duty to advise him. He has only one life. he needs to enjoy it and forget about appearances. Yes,  he is an addict. He admits to screwing things up everyday but at least he doesn't deny who he is. Times have changed. He can come out of the closet and be happy.

José Carlos calls Miguel who is siting drinking a beer at home. He leaves a message that he needs to talk to him because he needs the two of them to be okay together.  he loves him.

Leonora is sleepless in her bed.  She thinks back at what Luis told her about what the man who loves her should be like.

José Carlos looks at Leonora's picture online And thinks about what she told him about how he was the only one responsible for his behavior and how to fix it.

Alejandro goes to see Miguel. They are happy to see each other.

José Carlos looks at another photo of Leonora online.  He goes to message her and then stops.

Diego arrives in Acapulco telling Catalina that  he came as quickly as he could. She takes him to the utility room and shows him Ambar.  She orders him to get rid of her. He warns Catalina  that it is dangerous. She doesn't care what he has to do. He takes Ambar and puts her in the back of a SUV.

We see a woman in heels carrying a gun in silhouette as she climbs the stairs inside a house. The door opens to a bedroom where Catalina is sleeping with Francisco. Catalina awakens and sees that the woman is Ambar. Francisco  awakens. Ambar points the gun at Catalina who tells her no. Francisco asks what she is doing. Ambar says she is only doing what she should have done a long time ago. She shoots them both. Francisco awakens from his nightmare with a jolt. He gets a phone call from Catalina who cannot sleep worrying about Ambar. He tells her about the text message she sent to José Carlos.  No, Francisco did not try to contact her. Catalina talks about the shock Ambar  must have hd finding out that the man who she was with for more than 20 years didn't love her. She wonders if she would try to take her life and if Francisco could deal with that.

Diego stops off at a junk yard  surrounded by a chain link fence.

Catalina adds they should continue on with their lives and when Amber has mourned the end of her marriage she might just come back.

Diego starts to work on the lock on the chain keeping the gate closed and guard dogs run up to meet him. He then is startled by a young guy with a gun who wants to know what he is doing. Diego says he is looking form Mr. Cosme. He is informed that Mr. Cosme is dead.  The guy wants t know if they can do business.   Diego explains that the car is hot and he needs to get rid of it. The guy tells him this is the wrong place for that.  Diego changes the guys mind with a wad of cash and the SUV is crushed.

Catalina tells Gélica that Ambar has disappeared and that is why she has come home early. Gélica wants to know how that happened.  Catalina says it seems that she had an argument with Francisco and since the poor thing is not well she just left.

José Carlos is tearing his room apart. Catalina hears the noise and asks what he is doing. She knows he is going through withdrawal and wants to call the clinic or Francisco.  He wants to just be left alone.  She thinks he is reacting that way because of Ambar missing,  too. Catalina shows him a "text from Ambar" saying she was done with Francisco and was leaving to start a new life far away. José Carlos says Ambar said before that she  needed time to think about things. Catalina concludes that she thought about them and came to a decision. She tells him not to use Ambar as an excuse to use drugs and Gélica to get someone to clean his mess.

Catalina explains to Alejandro that she had to come back early because of the Ambar situation and his uncle. Ambar is mentally ill.  Catalina hopes she is locked up forever in an insane asylum. It would be the best thing for her and José Carlos.  She asks how things are going with Leonora. He says yesterday they visited each other's work places. He is not see he is in love with her. She thinks that will come with time. He asks if she knows the photographer that Leonora was interested in.  he explains how much Leonora admires him and would love to meet him. She will do what she can. She also insists that they go out for dinner tonight with Leonora. Thinking of Miguel, Alejandro says he cannot go but Catalina insists that they will be going out to dinner tonight with Leonora.  She is his priority.  He needs to pick her up at 8:00.

Diego tells Catalina about his earlier talk with Julius. She promises Diego that the first shipment coming from the new deposit will be his.  One always has to reward loyalty. He thanks her and leaves with a smile.

Francisco finally makes a phone call to the police to report Ambar as a missing person.

Left by herself, Catalina thinks about how compassion, sadness and feelings are things that one cannot afford.  People like her need to forge on ahead whatever it takes because they are the leaders who mark the path. Anything else is just foolishness.
