Caray, Caray!

Just as Natalia is waiting for Vicente to get his truck back to take her to the supposed rendezvous point with Veronica, Andrea races in and begs her mother to come with her for something extremely important-and no she cannot discuss it there.  Natalia agrees and balks when she sees the limousine parked outside to take her, Regina, and Andrea to meet Adrian.

Once they arrive, they see a sign with "Forgive me" and flowers.  Adi goes on bended knee and begs forgiveness and a new chance to join the family again.  Regi is convinced--not a good sign for the good guys--so we wonder if Nata is....  

Meanwhile, Nata doesn't show at the meeting place.  Olga talks a mile a minute doing her best to convince Chente to give up on Natalia because she simply belongs to another world much different than theirs.  Nata and her two girls are going to stay with their husband/father.  Chente insists that Nata isn't like that and does love him, not her traitorous hubby.  That's why she purposely left her phone at the house, so he couldn't find her.  Chente calls back to the house to see if she's returned.  Claudio gives him the bad news that Veronica is still out of the country and Nata has gone to see about her husband--but who knows where. Chente has an emotional breakdown and informs La Vulga that she's right, that Nata went to meet her husband.  

Adrian and Andi remind her that he's planned the dinner party at the hotel where he first proposed marriage to Nata (and was only doing it for her fortune at the time, he omits!)  He says he cannot change the past, but is hoping for a much better future with them.  Nata says it isn't happening.  She cannot prevent the girls from seeing him; it's their right and their decision, but even if one day she does forgive him, she's never coming back to him.  She loves another man now and wants to start divorce proceedings.

Vulga notes that Simba is there hiding in the shadows.  He motions for her to get him out of there.  She empathizes with him to the point of trying to kiss away his tears and asks him to take her to a nearby motel and let her help him through his heartbreak.  He pushes her away. She lends him her phone again and says, this is where you'll find her.  It's definitely Adi's phone.  He tells Chente his wife is with him, at the hotel where he proposed to her twenty years ago.  The word "hotel" shocks him.  Nata takes the phone.  She apologizes and says she'll tell him all about it in the morning.  "--Tomorrow?????  You're spending the night there?"  "--Well it's outside the city a ways."  She repeats she'll tell him in the morning.  He tells her there's no need and hangs up.

Gustavo, back at the boarding house, tells Chole he doesn't want kids.  (Viewerville keeps screaming at the tv: haven't you ever taken a fertility test??? Why just figure Constanza says so she's fertile and you are not????) She throws him out of the boarding house and he heads for the local pub.

Finally, Chente gets a clue that Vulga must be in on this scheme to separate him from Nata.  Otherwise, how would she just happen to know Nata is with Adrian?  He becomes enraged and races away in the pickup, leaving Vulga to fend for herself.  Simba comes out of the shadows.  She allows him to take her to the motel nearby and purposely leaves her purse in the parking lot.

Regi tries shocking Adi with the fact that Chente's kid brother is her boyfriend.  

After the vulgar deed with the likes of Simba (It's a good thing I ate a quite a while ago.  Just the thought of it makes me retch.) She tells Simba he's got to take her back to the meeting site.  She dropped her purse there.  Once they arrive and find the purse,  Vulga convinces him to give her a beating.  She'll lie that she was attacked and raped so Chente will feel guilty for leaving her alone out there in the middle of nowhere.

Chente enters the local pub and meets up with Tavo.  They commiserate.  Well, they both cry in each other's beers.  Chente is livid with rage and jealousy.  

Adi takes her to their suite and opens a bottle of bubbly.  She refuses and chooses to sleep in her daughters' room.  

The next morning, Chente is depressed and depressively hungover; Valentina finds Tavo asleep on his office couch and learns he's moved out of the boarding house.  There's been a parting of ways with Chole.  

Nata tries explaining over the phone to Chente, but he won't listen to her, especially after hearing Adi yelling at her to come to breakfast.  He hangs up on her again.  Nata demands to be driven back home.  

Teresa is putting on her makeup while Clod complains about her getting rid of all his new suits.  She tells him to get used to taking the bus now because she's going to sell the car as well.  He looks in his wallet and all his credit cards are missing.  She admits to taking those as well.  And, all that money he put into the bank, she reminds him, is hers.  Clod lies that the man hasn't given him back one red centavo.  She pulls out a bank document showing him her proof that Adi has returned her money. And, from now on, she is managing her own money; he doesn't spend a centavo without getting her ok first.  And, if he objects, he can leave anytime he chooses.  

At the hospital, J2P2, aka JoseJose, shows Magos the report at the old folks' home he and Regi made together.  Magos is proud of him.  Jojo admits his feelings for Regi.  

Nata and family have breakfast before leaving.  They discuss Jojo and his great values and desire to study and to get ahead in life.  That's fine with Adi then.  Perhaps he can use his influence to get Jojo a scholarship.  

Chole races to the hospital that morning.  The doctor tells her that Vulga was beaten, stabbed and raped.  (Hey, that makes Simba suspect numero uno once they do the rape kit! Fool!!)  

Once their daughters have left the table, Adrian makes another plea for forgiveness.  It was all Vero's doing; he'd never do this ever again!  Okay.  Prove it, but there will be no "part two" to their marriage.  She loves somebody else! 

Chole speaks to Vulga in the hospital room.  She is totally overwhelmed (as are we in Viewerville) to see the mess that Simba has made of her beautiful face.
