Caray, Caray!

1. Andrea is not impressed by hearing Omar telling her that being left with nothing is the best thing that could have happened to him.  He admits that everything belonged to his father. Now he will be able to build something by himself for both of them.  Nobody can stop him from taking her as his wife. She reaffirms that he left everything for her and that is super incredible BUT what is his plan?  Where and how are they going to live? He says he will get a job and they can rent a cheap place. She asks if he was thinking of renting something like this. He nervously answers  of course he would be looking for something better. He refuses to give up. He is determined to  make it on his own. Andrea rolls her eyes and suggests that they postpone the wedding. He won't hear of it! She asks if it wouldn't it be better to wait just a little while until things get better. He  launches into how they will not change their plans because that would be like giving his father his way and he refuses to do that. She finally gives in and tells him that he is right that the important thing is that they are together. He announces that they will get married and move ahead like everyone else even if they have to begin from zero. It will make their relationship even more solid. Andrea forces a smile.

2.  At the prison, Mario tells his cellmate Félix that he still doesn't know how his own sister could have done what she did to him. Félix adds it is particularly bad when your own family stabs you in the back. Mario sees no point in going on paying for a lawyer. Félix says he has to if he wants to get out of this pit.  Mario sees no purpose. He will never be able to pay all the money back. He sees himself as all alone without a peso to his name with nobody waiting for him on the outside. Félix says that is all the more reason to get out and get even with those who "sterilized"  him and take care of business. With a little more prodding, Félix seems to change Mario's  mind.  

3. Vale visits with Natalia and talks about Teresa's wonderful card reading skills. It seems that Vale asked Tere about a friend of Tavo's that she thinks is cute, a real prince. They became friends. His name is Mario. Natalia has to tell her that Mario Rivas hasn't been around because he is in jail paying for  what Natalia's husband did. Vale thinks he is  good looking and a lovely person. Natalia has to agree that Mario is a good  man who doesn't deserve to be in jail. 

4. Fernanda tells Connie that there is a law now that can protect her from the kind of extortion she is going through.  He could end up with 3-6 years in prison. Connie isn't interested because the video could get out. Fernanda cannot believe she is more concerned about what everyone will say. Connie admits to already having given him the money so he will leave her alone but  is still worried that he won't.  Connie asks her quietly if she knows somebody who could kill him. Fernanda cannot believe she would even think of that and tells her to stop saying such crazy things. Connie apologizes but she is so desperate she doesn't even know what she is saying anymore. She wants that miserable guy  to disappear from her life. Fernanda says to trust her and that together they will come up with an idea of how to put the brakes on this guy. 

5. Chente is daydreaming at his shop. 2XJosé suspects he is thinking about somebody special  but Chente says he isn't thinking about anybody. Regina pops by to see 2XJosé. Chente says he saw their video of the demonstration against the wall but they will not be getting their way because the wall is staying. Regina is all smiles as she tells him that her video she made of the demonstration and placed on her social media channel  got her many more followers. So, she is thanking  Chente for that.  Regina asks  2XJosé if he can come with her to the park so she can film something else for  her channel. He goes to ask Chente who reminds him that they cannot fall in love with those women. They are from very different worlds. 2XJosé says she is only a friend, nothing more. Chente finally lets him go but only if they pick up Ben and take him along. Regina and 2XJosé leave as Chente smiles and thinks that he has to do something to get those women out of their heads. He looks at the pool photo and thinks maybe a family vacation is what they need. 

6. Natalia goes to visit Mario. He is all apologetic about what he did, said. She insists that they are fine and there is no need to revisit that incident. Natalia is sorry for what Tania did to him. She reported to the lawyer that she robbed him and left the country. Mario starts to cry. Natalia tells him that she is here for him. She is his good friend. He thanks her. She has heard nothing from Adrián.  Mario says that his lawyer has told him that the only way he can be completely exonerated is if the police talk to him.  

6. Back on St. Germain, Adrián is bummed out at the bar drinking, smoking  and  playing with  a couple of rings. He suddenly has company who wants to have what he is having. It is Elías who asks him if he really thought that he wouldn't find him.  Adrián turns and  stares  at him.

7. Natalia notices that Mario doesn't look good. She asks if he has been eating and tells him he has to take care of himself. He tells her that she is the best medicine for him. If it weren't for her, he wouldn't bother to get up.  She tells him he has to do it for himself. He explains how alone he is. He asks if he matters to her. She holds his hands. 

8. Adrián asks Elías how he found him. Elías says he is the one asking the questions.  He tells Adrián that he never got anything in his life except by stealing. He is a damn thief.  Elías goes on to tell him how much Vero hates him and how he paid her a fortune just to get his location. Adrián cannot believe that about Vero. Elías must be lying. Adrián insists that she loves him. Elías emphasize that she betrayed him and adds she must have found some imbecile that was better in  bed.  Adrián tells him to shut up but Elías laughs and says the con-man got conned. Elías pays for his drink and tells Adrián to come for  walk with him as he starts to leave.  When Adrián doesn't make a move, Elías returns and shows him the gun he is carrying under his jacket. Elías puts his hand on his shoulder and escorts him out of the bar.

9. Olga stops by Chente's shop and he tells her he is interested in going  to the spa she recommended. She is all excited and says she will make the arrangements. She starts to touch him and he backs aways and tells her to control herself. She shows him how she already made the reservations for all of them getting him  the advertised deal.  He moves away from her telling  her that they can be buddies and that what she planned is not what he was thinking. He was looking forward to having a vacation  with only his family and nobody else. She is clearly upset but puts on a weak smile and says it is no big deal. She adds that Chole was looking forward to going. She was Lucía's best friend so that makes her party of the family, right??  Chente agrees that Chole is part of the family. Olga thinks that is good because then she can be part of the family by extension through Chole. Before an aggravated Chente  can say word, Olga takes off saying she is going to pack her suitcase.

10.  Regina is all excited by the views on another report she did for her channel. She thinks that she, Ben, and 2XJosé should all work together to do more. A clearly enamored 2XJosé is just dying to help her. She asks why is he "just dying to help her?" As Ben watches, 2XJosé downplays what he said and emphasizes that they are just buddies. Regina laughs saying she was just worried that he might think they were novios or something like that. "Laughing" he says no way and asks if she is looking for a novio. She says no but now if Ben were older. . . . 2XJosé asks why she doesn't want a novio. Regina explains she never wants to be hurt like her father hurt her mother. 

11. Omar and Regina go back to the apartment which is now vacant. All of Omar's things are piled up. Quique, one of Elías's employees,  tells Omar that his father said he was not to put a  foot in the apartment again and ordered him to throw all of Omar's belongings  but he couldn't.  Omar thanks Quique. Andrea thinks that his father hates them. Omar says his father is only getting even because he will not allow him to control his life. Quique brings Omar some boxes and bags for his belongings. 

12. Adrián asks Elías where they are going. Elías says nowhere in particular but he wanted Adrián to admire  this landscape one last time. Adrian asks if he plans on  killing him. No, Elías would not deprive  himself of the pleasure of destroying Adrián slowly. He jovially pats Adrián on the  back with one hand as the other stays on the gun. Elías would rather push Adrian to his limit so that he understands how little his life matters and then can decide to take the appropriate action. He tells Adrián to enjoy the sea breeze because he won't be seeing any sunlight where he is going to send him. 

13. As they stand on the beach, Adrián asks Elías if he can do anything to fix things. Elías says no because he made a fool out of him and that is why he is going to see that he is put away for life. Elías motions to four armed law enforcement officers. Adrián doesn't think  that things do not have to end this way. He swears to return his money to him. Elías asks him how?? Vero left him with NOTHING and, by the way,  he is going to add the money he gave to Vero to Adrián's debt. Adrián begs for just two months. Vero won't take him for a fool. Elías reminds him that she did exactly that  already. All that is left for him  now is to be in a cell disowned by everyone. He reminds Adrián that he was the one who killed any affection anyone had for him. Nobody cares about him any more. Not Natalia nor his daughters will even help him because they hate him. The officers take Adrián into custody. Elías adds that if anyone dares to give Adrián a hand, they will have to deal with him first. 

14. Fernanda takes Connie home. Connie thanks her for listening to her and her discretion.  Connie says she will take the secret to her grave and that the important thing is that that guy leaves her alone. Connie is hoping so after that payment. Fernanda is sure that  he is going to continue to blackmail her. Connie has  a jump drive with the videos William recorded on it. She emphasizes she never gave him consent. What should she do with the drive? Fernanda says to destroy it. Connie agrees because if it fell into her husband's hands he might want a divorce and she could never let that happen. Fernanda is doubtful that Connie has the only copy of the videos. If William still has copies, this will never stop. 

15. Omar calls his father who is still on the beach watching the officers take Adrián prisoner. Elías wishes him good luck in the real world and to call him when he has a job. Omar says he is ready to do whatever it takes for himself and his future wife. Elías tells him to stop talking so stupidly. He hopes his son thinks and when he is open to establishing a father and son relationship. . . Omar cuts him off saying he is ashamed by the way he is acting.  His strategies will not work on him. Elias warns him not to push him to his limits, because he has none. Omar is done with him threatening him. He is going to marry Andrea whether his father  likes it or not. The more he pressures him the more decided he is. Elías tells him to be careful and not push him into taking more drastic measures. Something just might happen to his little social climbing novia. Omar asks him how he is even capable of saying something like that to him???  As Elías watches Adrián squirming,  he answers saying  it is a serious, a very serious matter. It could be fatal. He hangs up. Andrea notices that Omar turned white and wants to know what happened. He says it was just his father being his typical self. Omar is ready to go to Andrea's.

16. Adrián is still squirming,  complaining to Elías. Elías tells him he is in no position to demand anything. He is going to make sure that he  pays dearly for what he did to him  and he is going to start with that slut of  daughter of his. She is just like him, a thief who thinks that she is going to get her hands on his fortune by marrying Omar. Elías assures him that from the darkness of his cell, Adrián  will know everything that is going to happen to his daughters. As for Natalia, he is planning something very very special. Adrián asks him not to destroy his family. Elías reminds him that he alone destroyed his own family. He is only going to finish the job. Adrián begs him saying they are not responsible for anything and to please leave them in peace.   Elías doesn't understand his reaction. When he abandoned them, he made it clear that not one of them meant anything to him. Adrián tries to appeal to Elías saying that he is a father and a man. He has to understand that he made a mistake.  He doesn't care if Elías kills him but he begs him to leave his family alone. Elías laughs in his face saying that is what he wanted to hear; Adrián begging him but that is only the beginning of what he expects from him. Adrián will be the "example" so nobody will ever dare to steal from him the way he did. He tells the officers to take Adrián away. 

17. Fernanda tells Connie that she needs to change the number of her cellphone. Connie asks if that will stop William. Fernanda explains that Connie gave him money and he is going to want more so they have to stop him from being able to communicate with her.  Connie says that won't help because he has been in her house. She cannot believe how stupid she was.  She  steps on the jump drive to destroy it. Connie goes hysterical throwing her phone on the floor and then onto a side table. Claudio comes waltzing in saying the door was half open . . . as he sees the two women. 

18. Natalia stops by to see Vale at the garage. She went to see Mario. She explains that he is feeling very lonely  because only she and his lawyer have been to visit him. She remembers Vale saying that the two of them were friends and thinks that he would appreciate seeing Vale. Vale is ready whenever wherever to go see him.

19. Chole and Tere are having a nice talk about how well Tere's card reading business is going when Olga comes in being her rude self. Chole says Tere will have to forgive her cousin because it is as if she grew up in the mountains with the snakes. Tere smiles and nods. When Olga finds out that Tere reads tarot cards, her attitude changes. Tere affirms that she talks to the little angels and they do not lie. 

20. Fernanda decides it is time to leave. She tells Connie she will be in contact and tells Claudio to give Tere her regards. As soon as Connie goes to see Fernanda out, Claudio starts to snoop around. He spills some of his drink on the floor and when he goes to wipe it up, he finds pieces of the jump drive. He puts the pieces in a napkin on the side table where he sees Connie 's phone. There is a message from William addressing  Connie as his love and telling her not to ignore him.  He says he could get desperate and commit an indiscretion. He finishes telling  her not to play games with him.  Claudio says to himself: "the garbage of some can be the treasure others."  He pockets the phone as Connie enquires why he is there. He has a pair of questions for her. Claudio starts by saying that he thinks that she should try to reconcile with her sister and her mother. Connie sees that as none of his business. He says it is his business because they all are his family. Tere is very worried about her and has a feeling that things are not right in her marriage. Then there is Tavo who is quite sad so Claudio is thinking that  things are not good between them. Connie says he better make it clear what he is talking about. Claudio was talking to Tavo who said that Connie felt distant from him. That has led him to imagine terrible things. He now suspects that she has a lover. Connie thinks that is absurd. Claudio says that is exactly what he told Tavo. Claudio explained  that Connie  was a lady who was incapable of being unfaithful. Hearing that, Tavo was calmer. Claudio has a suggestion. Why don't they all come over to her house this weekend so they can rediscover their family together? It would be good to calm Tavo's doubts  and it could be a way of making peace with her mother and sister.  She says it is not a bad idea. As a matter of fact, she was planning a trip to get away from it all. Claudio says he will convince Tere and Natalia how good it would be to have a few restful  days with the whole family. Connie nods in agreement.

21. Olga thanks Tere for reading her cards ahead of time. Tere brusquely tells her that if a person pays her, there is no way to deny them. Tere starts by telling Olga that she has a very bad attitude. Olga says she gets it from her mother. Tere tells her she needs to be careful because she could end up alone and without friends. She acts as if she is better than everyone else. If she does not respect people, she cannot expect them to respect her. She is envious and selfish. Karma will make sure that one day she suffers the same rude behavior she has dished out to others. Olga wonders how Tere can tell her all of that without turning over one card. Tere tells her that she doesn't need any cards to tell her what she sees seated in front of her and somebody needs to put her in her place. 

22. Regina is telling her mother about how she wants to be a reporter when she grows up when Andrea and Omar arrive on the scene. Natalia is shocked to see all of Omar's stuff. Andrea explains how his parents took everything away from him and he has no place to sleep. Andrea assumes that he can come and live with them. Regina says that Chente is going to get annoyed by another renter. Natalia agrees but what really worries her is Omar's parents' reaction. Omar says he already faced his father  and he will do whatever he has to do to stick up for Andrea. Natalia smiles and says they will find a place for him. Omar says that he is not asking for that. He has a buddy who is letting him stay with him but he would like to leave his stuff with them. Andrea cannot change his mind.  Omar says when he gets a job, he will rent something for the two of them. That makes Natalia smile again. Omar asks Natalia to look after Andrea as well as  herself and Regina  because his father is like a mad man and he wouldn't want to see anyone get hurt. Natalia is no longer smiling.

23. Olga tells Tere she didn't ask for her commentary on her life. Tere says if her comments bother her that much, they can cancel the  reading. Olga decides she wants to go on  because she wants to see if she has  a future with a certain man. Olga divides the cards. Tere turns over the first card. She tells Olga that the man is not for her. The next card shows disappointments. Olga says she loves him. Tere corrects her. She is obsessed with him. The next card tells her to be careful. She could lose her mind. Olga wants to know if she couldn't do something to have another chance. Tere tells her to not be foolish. She has to stop pursuing him. Olga doesn't want to hear that. The last card shows that the man going to take a trip that will change everything. Olga gets excited and leaves thinking about the spa trip. Tere never has a chance to explain what that final card really means. 

24. Chente takes Granny Magos and the rest other family out to eat. Chente tells them he has some really good news for them. He tells them they are all going to a very nice spa for the weekend. Everyone is excited and happy. Granny Magos says that is why she came from her town; to spend time with her family before . . . .  Chente asks before what??? Granny Magos lies and says before she has to go back to Veracruz. The two younger  grandsons and Ben all hug her.  Chente is left thinking about what she said. 

25. Olga tells Vale about the card reading. There is a chance for her to win Chente's heart and she is going to take advantage of it. Vale says she really hopes that Olga is successful. Olga has a perfect plan. They are all going to be together this weekend and even though it is with the family, Olga thinks it will be the perfect time to seduce him. Vale warns her that men get bored quickly when things come too easily to them. Vale's grandma says it can end up backfiring on you if you are too forward. Olga didn't want to hear that. 

26. A hot and sweaty Adrián is spending time pacing in a  jail cell on  St. Germain. 

26. Natalia is having supper with her daughters. Andrea is planning on taking her exams at prep school tomorrow. Her mother and sister are happy for her. Natalia cannot emphasize enough the importance  of education in one's life.  Without her studies in gastronomy, she wouldn't be able to do what she is doing now to support her family.  There is a knocking at the door.  It is Elías who came through the gate unannounced and starts talking to her through the window. He wants to talk to her. She sends the girls upstairs. 

27. Elías comes in and says that he never expected to see the wife of Adrián Cantú living in such deplorable conditions. Natalia reminds him that it is not his problem. He agrees but it hurts him  to see her in these circumstances.  She tells him he doesn't need to pretend since he is incapable of having any empathy for anyone. He proved that the day he heartlessly had her evicted from  her home. Elías clarifies the situation saying it was the consequence of what HER husband did not him. Natalie wants to know why he came. What does he want? He want to offer her a deal that could work for all of them if she can keep her daughter away from his son. 

28. Mario's lawyer has made a special visit to tell him that Adrián was arrested. All Mario can do is thank God.  The lawyer says that the extradition is  being set up so Adrián can face charges in Mexico. Mario is overjoyed that he will be able to prove that he is innocent. The lawyer tells him he will be a free man soon. He adds that they did not arrest Vero or his sister nor is there any news about them yet. 

29. Natalia tells Elías that he is so wrong. She is learning how to support herself alone. She would never ever use her daughters for a deal of that kind. Elías thinks it is absurd the she thinks she has  to prove herself as a working woman. He looks around saying that it looks like she doesn't have enough  to eat. She tells him she will not allow him to humiliate her. He is willing to get her a good apartment in a good neighborhood, money for  clothes, jewelry, whatever she needs to get back to having a good life. He touches her face. She pushes his hand away. Natalia states that  he is willing do all of that just to avoid a marriage taking place. He says it isn't only that, grabs her arms  and pulls her towards him. He always has liked her. He wants her to be his lover. 

30. As Claudio is going into a bar, Connie's phone lets him know she has a text. It is from William and is the same message as before telling Connie "his love" not to ignore him. etc. 

31. Regina doesn't like the idea of leaving her mother downstairs alone with Elías. She starts to go down but Andrea stops her. Andrea agrees to go down and see what is going on.

32. Natalia wrestles herself free from Elías  telling him she never expected this kind of disrespect. He says he will give her a few days to think about it. She  has nothing to think about and pushes him away. He grabs her again and she tells him he is disgusting ad to let her go. He warns her to watch what she says. She slaps him and tells him not to touch her and he grabs her again.  He tells her that if her daughter is a social climber it is because she learned it from her.

33. Andrea is still upstairs insisting she will be the one to go down. 

34. Andrea finally move her butt downstairs as Natalia is wrestling with Elías telling him he is just like her husband and disgusts her. Elías says "disgusting' is what he would call her useless daughter who only knows how to social climb; find a man to insure her future. Natalia attacks him for  insulting her daughter. She repeatedly slaps him. He warns her not to touch him again. She takes his hands off of him  and tells him  to get out of her house just as Chente and the family are returning. 

35. Chente jumps the wall and asks Natalia if that guy is threatening her. Natalia screams for Elías to get out of there. As Elías doesn't move, Chente snaps his fingers and asks of he didn't hear the lady. He tells Elías to get out as Elías pulls his gun on  him. Chente tells Granny Magos to take Ben out of there. Ben is starting to squeal in fear  and cry. Natalia asks Elías what does he think he is doing. Chente refuses to back down. Elías doesn't care if he kills Chente. Natalia pushes Elías off balance from the side and Chente grabs for the gun. Chente and Elías wrestle for the gun as everyone watches.
