Caray, Caray!

 1. Nobody can talk sense to Lucas. He wants to donate his inheritance to charity as stipulated in the will. Juan reminds him that to receive the inheritance in the first place, he has to live at the hacienda for one year. Lucas could not care less. He is ready to be out of there and for nobody to ever see him again. Pedro has to laugh that they are fighting just like any other damn family over an inheritance. Simón snarkily makes  the case that it wouldn't be like this if Sara, their father's bastard,  hadn't arrived on the scene.  Juan yells at him to shut  up. Sara warns him she will not put up with his disrespect. She says since he is a therapist he needs to help himself  like NOW. He brushes her comment off. Lucas tells them they can do what they want. He is leaving the hacienda. 

2. Juan goes following Lucas.  Modesto tells him not to be too hard on Lucas. Juan is tired of indulging  everyone when they  feel like they have the right to insult anyone whenever  they feel like it. He isn't putting up with that anymore.  Sara agrees with Modesto and tells Juan that everyone in the family is  upset. She suggests it might be better to make some sort of  arrangement with Lucas for the family's own good as their father would have liked.  Juan answers that their father also taught him that sometimes a strong word is far more useful than a pat on the back. He knows what he is doing. 

3. In no uncertain terms, Juli tells Deb that she does not have to sleep with Juan to keep him.  Deb tell her that all is fair in war and in  bed. Juli can only imagine the wars  that Deb has won using those tactics as well as her daughter Sara following in her footsteps. Juli is sure of the love she and Juan have. Deb says the only reason  she isn't going to give her a few good slaps is because her mother is her friend. Juli needs to know that Juan's love no longer belongs to her. 

4. Rosa is ragging on Jessica for possibly being interested in being an actress.  Prospi comes in and she tells him to be a man and back her up by  telling  Jessica how things are. Prospi turns on Rosa and tells her he is fed up with her telling him to be a man. Rosa is surprised by his tone. 

5. Happy times with Agustín and his family. Brayan announces he is the new  groom at the hacienda. 

6. The arguing between Rosa and her family continues in the living room. The girls stick up for their father. As Prospi goes to leave, Rosa demands to know where he is going. Prospi makes it clear that he is going to where  exactly Rosa doesn't want him to go: the cantina. She threatens to go and drag him out. He tells her he knows that she won't be doing that because he knows she wouldn't set a foot in the place even if they paid her to. He leaves.  In shock, Rosa yells for Berta who brings her some smelling salts. Berta will make her some  tea to to relax her.  Jessica tells them  to hold on because she has some news that just might make her mother really faint. Jessica announces that she has a novio. Rosa is expecting the worst but when she hears that her novio is Lucas Del Monte, she is relieved and overjoyed. Alondra is shocked.

7. Pedro is already telling Simón that he is concerned that Lucas will end up donating his share to charity out of pure immaturity. Simón tells him to give Juan a chance to talk him out of it. Pedro agrees to let "Saint Juan" fix things. Pedro confides in Simón his plan to bring Tavo to live at the hacienda. Simón asks if he is going to take him away from his mother. Pedro says no because he sees it as  bringing his son closer to his real father. That is what makes it different. 

8. Juan goes to see Lucas who is upset that he cannot at least have his privacy. He asks Juan what is his problem. Juan turns the question on him and asks if he really thinks that renouncing his part of the inheritance is a good idea. Lucas is upset that none of them  believes in him and that he cannot do what he wants. Juan reminds him that in life sometimes you have to put your own wishes aside and do things for the common good. Lucas knows that but rather than supporting him by helping  him find a solution, all they did was get on his case. Juan tells him he is right and apologizes. Lucas sits on his bed where Juan joins him. Lucas still wants to leave the house because he feels like the family is coming apart. Juan tells him that is something they will not allow to happen because their parents always wanted them together. Juan doesn't want a broken family. He knows he cannot take their parents' place. He talks about his mother being so good to them. He thinks back to how loving their mother was to him and Pedro and how she told them about how this place was all theirs. The name of  the place was the Santa Catalina Refuge. Juan was ready to plant avocados and ride the horses. She told them how they would first go to school and Severiano would teach them all they needed to know  about the country and horse riding. They would have to learn how to walk before they would be running. Juan is giving Lucas that same advice.  Juan proposes that he wait a year, get his inheritance and then use it for whatever business he wants. Juan will not oppose him. Lucas clarifies that the can use it for whatever he wants. Juan says yes and he will always be there for whatever help or advice he needs. Lucas offers his hand to shake on the deal. The brothers shake on it and hug.

9. Sara tells Modesto that Juan told her that her father rescued him and Pedro. Modesto informs her that Juan and Pedro were brothers by blood. He knew them before they were adopted. They were so very poor that  they went barefoot in the streets because they were living with . . . . Modesto never identifies who they  were living with and only adds that he doesn't know any children that have suffered more than his Juan and his Pedrito. 

10. Alondra is upset that Jessica lied to their mother saying that Lucas was her novio. How could she do that to her? Jessica wants to explain her plan.  Alondra doesn't want to hear about it because Jessica  knew that she likes Lucas. Rosa comes into the room and is all excited because they now have a reason to go visit the DelMonte's to celebrate her and Lucas being novios. From the look on her face, this is something Jessica was not expecting. Alondra sits and cries.

11. Modesto explains that Juan was not a rich kid until Severiano and Catalina rescued the boys. Sara asks where they were rescued from. Through Modesto's memory we  see a scene where Severiano and Catalina have entered a squalid hovel where both Juan and Pedro are sleeping. They are  covered in bruises, bug bites and filth. Severino and Catalina each pick up a boy and carry them out. Modesto answers Sara saying that the boys were rescued from . . . death. The Del Monte's  only wanted them to have peace and to be  very happy. Sara says since she has arrived, there has been everything here except for peace. Modesto tells her not to be distressed because nothing is her fault. Sara supposes that things haven't been easy for him lately. Modesto agrees because even though Cornelio is his blood, Pedro has been like a son to him ever since he was little. He admits the situation is breaking his heart. Sara offers some advice from a very wise man. She repeats his advice that he just gave her: nothing is his fault. Modesto has to smile

12. Adela tells her father and son Brayan that Rosa has been threatening her saying that she is going to get don Pedro to rent her flower shop space to her instead. Brayan says she can't do that. Adela says she will do anything she wants  as long as he is still hanging around with her daughters.  Adela told them because she didn't want any secrets in the family. Agustín is upset with the news. She has to ask him  several times not to get involved. 

13. Deb greets Dante. She just got a text notifying her of the fund transfer her account. She is so grateful that he got Juan to pay off Sara's debt. She kisses Dante.  He reminds her that not all of the money is hers. She assures him that he will be getting his cut like he always does.  He asks how the situation is going with Sara and Juan. She says that she talked to the third person involved in the discord and believes it is all under control. Dante smiles. She asks how his meeting went.  He abruptly tells her that his plans are his and not hers. They are none of her concern. He asks if she agrees. She puts on a happy face. 

14. Juli touches base with Juan. She came by to supervise  the work in the fields. She asks how things are going with his brothers. He says complicated but everything got resolved.  Lucas now understands he needs to be prepared to do what he wants. She says his brothers love him for all the support he gives them. She loves him and puts her arms around him. He is non-responsive. She asks if they can get together  tonight but he tells her that he has to stay with Mateo until he is released tomorrow. He even had to postpone the fertilizer meeting. Juli goes psycho and accuses him of not wanting to be with her because of Sara. 

15. Pedro completes his back door deal with the investor saying that he cannot give him the Santa Catalina Refuge but he can give him the hectares that borders it. The investor is happy and they shake on the deal. The investor says that the guest they have been waiting for has just arrived. Dante walks in. Pedro looks surprised.

16. Deb comes to see Rosa in her shop where Rosa announces that Jessica is the new novia of Lucas Del Monte. Lying Jessica doesn't like her making it all public and  Rosa orders Jessica away from them. Deb comments that having two son-in-laws from that family will not be easy at all.  Deb asks what is going on with Juli because she seems to have  nothing good to say about her daughter Sara.  Rosa starts to defend Juli saying that Deb has to agree  that Sara has her "personality" when Deb cuts her off. She and her daughter are high society and do not like to have to deal with cheap gossip. She further explains she can be really lovely as a friend but Rosa  would never want to know her as an enemy because she can be among the worst. Rosa decides to stay on her good side and the visit happily continues with Deb wanting to get right into doing business as the new partner!  Rosa squeals in delight. Jessica shakes her head. 

17. Dante asks who would have thought he would run into Pedro doing business again. Pedro says that Dante really knows him and they pat each other on  the back. Pedro has a big favor he wants Dante to do for him before they talk about the fields and other things.  Dante makes it clear that Pedro's wishes are his commands. He wants to know what it deals with. 

18. Juan tells Juli that he doesn't want anymore scandals or outbursts like she had in Sara's room. He also thinks it is best that she not come to the hacienda any more. The only contact that they will have will be professional and at the office. She doesn't know why he cannot see that she loves him. She wants another chance. She hugs him. Rosa comes in with Jessica saying how lovely they look together. Rosa starts chattering on about Catalina's wonderful taste in furnishings and how expensive they must have been. Lucas comes down the stairs and Rosa wants to talk to him about the  good news. He asks what good news? Jessica  grabs him and says that they are novios. Rosa is so happy that their families will  now have two connections. Jessica gets Lucas to play along. 

19. At the cantina, Paloma tells her dad Salvador how much she misses  . . . her mother. He tells her that although she may feel alone, she isn't. She has her dad who loves her with all of his heart. He kisses her on the head. He leaves. She sings a sad song as she works.

20. It is storming again and Sara is seated outside under cover of the house enjoying the rain when Juan finds her. She talks about how much she loves the sound of the raindrops sinking  into the  fields and the how the smell of the wet earth is like perfume.   It is as if you can hear heaven  laughing at them. Juan says that her laughter is also a gift from heaven. Sara then surprises him by telling him that for the best  of all concerned she is leaving the house.  He tells her that she cannot do that. She reminds him that he suggested that she do that when she arrived. He says that was before he knew her but now he sees her as the woman who is changing  his life.  They tentatively hold hands. He adds that ever since she appeared, everything has changed. She admits that her world changed, too. He asks if that why she wants to run away. She says she has  done so much harm. She adds that she is also afraid of love and doesn't want to suffer. He asks her to please not go and they almost kiss but don't. 

21. Pedro is cleaning a rifle in his room and looking at a photo of him and Tadeo when Deb stops by.  No, he doesn't like to hunt but he does like competitive target shooting. He points  the rifle at her and announces he has the perfect target. She asks him not to be so dramatic. She only stopped by to say good night and to ask about his friend the "cornudo" (the cuckold). She "corrects"  herself and asks how  "Cornelio" is doing. Pedro tells her to not stick her nose where it doesn't belong and comments that it is getting late.  He adds that deep sleep keeps the wrinkles away.  It is something she needs. She says goodnight by first saying  "may his 'little cuckold' friends be with him"  but "corrects"  herself to say  "may the 'little angels' be with him." She turns and leaves. He points the rifle at her back.  He gets a text.

22.  Juan tells Sara that her absence would make him suffer. She feels the same way and that is what worries her. That is why she needs to get out of there.

23. Paloma sings some more sad songs. Simón arrives at the cantina to tell Paloma that he loves her with all of his heart.  Everyone cheers except for Salvador. 

24. Sara is on the couch when Deb comes down complaining that she cannot sleep with how it is  raining. Deb asks Sara what is wrong. She says that she told Juan she wants to leave the house. Deb asks her if she is crazy because they will lose her inheritance if she leaves.  Sara doesn't care about the inheritance. Deb says she thinks Sara wants to leave because she has feelings for Juan.  She knows her. Deb wouldn't want her to lose it all over a man who is engaged. Deb is going upstairs to take off her makeup and go to bed but  reminds Sara that Juan is engaged. 

25. Salvador wants Simón to leave but he won't leave unless Paloma asks him to. Paloma tells him not to go. The patrons all applaud. Salvador tells Paloma that Simón will only make her suffer.  Paloma says she is not a child and  wants to talk to him. Simón is different. Simón pledges to Salvador that he will not make his daughter suffer for any reason at all. She is the woman he loves and whatever happened between his father and Salvador's wife has no effect on how he loves Paloma. Salvador finally allows them to talk.

26. Pedro comes to see Juli at her request. Juli dismisses Berta so they can talk alone.  Juli explain that she made the urgent call she did to Pedro because there is something that has come up that is of interest to both of them. He says if it about the damage she did in Sara's room there is nothing to worry about. She tells him to not make fun of her. Pedro says he isn't but is congratulating her for doing something so inappropriate. She wants to get to the point. She wants him to be her ally. He wants to know what she is getting at. She knows that he is interested in  Sara. Is he open to winning Sara's heart and taking her away from Juan???

27. Juan is at the hospital bringing Mateo up to date on how Lucas wanted to leave and give up on his inheritance. He tells Mateo that since he is getting out tomorrow,  he is going to stay the night and take care of him. Mateo jokes about him fitting in the bed. Juan asks Mateo what is going on with him.

He apologizes and  asks her to forgive him  for the terrible things he said about her and  her mom. He promises her it will never happen again. They can cut out his tongue if he ever hurts her again with things he says. As they almost kiss, Salvador says it looks like they are finished talking. Simón agrees, gets up and leaves. As he leaves, Salvador thanks him for not filing charges against him but adds that doesn't mean he is in favor of him and Paloma going out or anything.

He can win Sara's heart. She will win Juan's heart again and they will both end up winning in the end.

31. Sara is out riding early in the morning when Pedro comes out riding, too. He flirts with her. He asks her if she is always looking good. She thanks him for the compliment  but can hardly believe it coming from a player like him. He says he will use his best effort to convince her. She tells him not to bother. She isn't interested in empty words. He tells her she might be interested to know that Mateo is coming home to the hacienda.
