Caray, Caray!

When Juan doesn’t answer Cornelio’s plea for help, Cornelio swears the entire Del Monte clan is now an enemy to him – his uncle was right about them all along. Sara asks Pedro to leave, and he agrees but only because she is asking it. Juan is upset with Dante for keeping him out of the loop again (if only you knew).

Convo between Deb and Bertha is hilarious. Deb admits to dating Salvador (LOL), sends him air kisses and asks for more tequila. Salvador doesn’t seem to mind that much. As they chat and drink, the women even become friendly (Tequila, never failing to bond women since the Aztecs created it). When Cornelio walks in, Deb tells Bertha the gossip about him being a cornudo, while heartbroken Cornelio tells Salvador the truth about the paternity scandal.

Hearing the news Deb asks for some music and goes to sit with Cornelio. She hates Pedro, too, she could be an ally to him… she offers, while pouring another glass. Her daughter might be a Del Monte, but she was thrown out, they are all desgraciados, starting with Simon, they even turned his father, Modesto, against him.

Alone with Sara, Bea is now sorry she spilled the beans to Pedro about Tadeo in the first place. She is afraid of Pedro, he is evil and feels sorry for Cornelio.

Juan and Simon fill Mateo in about what happened at Bea’s house. Simon thinks Cornelio could become dangerous, Juan agrees, especially since he threatened the entire family. The brothers also worry about Modesto’s reaction when he finds out the truth.

Juan and Sara meet outside the house. He wants to smooch, tell everyone about their relationship, she is afraid of the fighting that is sure to result from confessing. They kiss just as Pedro arrives. He confronts them about their relationship and they admit they love each other. What will Julieta say, Pedro asks? Rosa was right after all. Neither Sara nor Juan seem to be bothered by their previous denial, so Pedro says he doesn’t care they are dating, he's actually glad for them, but won’t Simon and Mateo consider Juan a traitor?

Rosa and Prospi arrive at the in-laws – hehe. Rosa offends the entire Cruz family, while Adela defends them. Rosa tries to drag Jessica out, Prospi barely protesting. Bryan says he and Jess are married and they are in love, but Rosa won’t hear reason.

Now inside the house, Pedro calls for his brothers, pretending to be happy and sarcastically telling his siblings that their leader has some big news. Juan takes Sara’s hand and says that they are in love. Both Mateo and Simon strongly disagree, Lucas is disappointed because Sara lied to him about being interested in Juan. Sara defends it by saying love is unexpected and it can’t be helped. Simon accuses her of trying to use Juan just like Deb did with Severiano. Juan asks for their support, so Lucas just leaves, without adding another word.

Deb is still working on Cornelio, suggesting he take Tadeo away – the boy has his last name, he can take him far away, where nobody can ever find them. He is the only one who can put Pedro in his place, make him pay for everything.

Simon accuses Juan of betraying them, since Sara is their enemy. Mateo asks what will Juli say? Sara denies any involvement in breaking up Juan and Juli, Juan insists he stopped loving his ex a long time ago. And neither of them cares about all the obstacles they will have to move past to be together. Simon can’t understand this sudden love, asks Juan to break it off with Sara, Pedro asks if they plan to marry in the same church the wedding with Juli was supposed to take place and Mateo accuses Sara of having destroyed their family.

Finally putting his big boy pants on, Juan calls them all out on their huge hypocrisy: Pedro lied about Tadeo, Mateo about Julieta and they all told him to allow them to live their own lives. So now it’s his turn to tell them to butt out! OK?

Rosa takes Jess through a stroll of the house: does she plan to invite her friends to this place? Eat tamales and frijoles from paper plates, with no cutlery and drink from plastic cups? Gotta say that as much as I dislike Rosa, this is a conversation that needs to be had, since Jessica obviously didn’t give any of this any thought, but now, as her mother points out all the things that she will have to get accustomed to, Jess seems to listen. There is even a leak in the house, and Augustin urges Bryan to fix the roof before there is another flooding. Jess gets scared about this, Brandon protests about sleeping on a wet armchair in the living room… it all becomes a mess.

Adela stops the quarrelling by telling Jess they are poor, but they work hard, it is what it is. Jess says she only cares about Bryan’s love, Rosa says love will go out the window when she realizes there is no money. Prospi puts his foot down, Jess is of legal age, she needs to decide if she leaves or if she stays. And of course she says she’s staying put, and Prospi actually looks proud.

Cornelio is still drinking, alone, when Modesto walks in. He tells his brother he doesn’t feel too good, he had to get out of the house because of some awful rumor that he heard. But he has to get back home soon, prepare dinner. Bertha sees him and invites him to have a drink together, but Modesto faints.

Now in Severiano’s study, Juan&Sara are still trying to explain their relationship. Sara accepts defeat when it comes to her relationship with the brothers, but she will fight for Juan. The others realize their protesting is in vain and Pedro sarcastically claps for the new couple: isn’t love so beautiful?

Later that night Brandon is still singing his sad music, he has a heart to heart with Abuelo Augusto who invites him to share the room. Love is like this, Augie says, you should understand Bryan since you’re also in love with Dulce.

Modesto feels better and wants to go back to the ranch, Cornelio is even more upset with the Del Montes. Bertha tells Cornelio the other day he felt bad, too, they both decide to take him home together.

Now alone, Juan and Sara realize they have a big fight in front of them. Everyone will say that Rosa was right, Sara realizes, but Juan doesn’t care – his brothers and everyone else will end up accepting them. Their love is not to blame, their love is blessed. All they have to do is be happy. Love and kisses.

Sara says she feels uncomfortable in the house, is worried about Juli and Deb’s reactions when they find out, but Juan promises to be together through all this. He invites her out for dinner.

At home, Julieta remembers Juan confronting her about Mateo, then her last fight with Mateo. She grabs her phone and thinks about calling Juan, but then calls Mateo instead, very briefly. He gets the missed call and calls her back, she says it was probably a mistake and tries to hang up. He’d like to see her, like friends, he won’t even tell her that he loves her, he promises!

Dante and Deb are out in a fancy restaurant. He’s proud of her for making Mateo drink and therefor being thrown out of the house, because her staying there was making things too dangerous. He had to listen to all of stupid Juan’s insults and defend Pedro, Deb had to listen to Sara’s accusations about Severiano paying her child support, they are both sacrificing so much to get that Del Monte money. Dante reassures her about the payments, they have all the proof they need to convince Sara Deb wasn’t lying about child support. And now Modesto is on their hit list, too.

Alone in his room, Pedro is playing with his rifle, while fuming about what happened. He can’t understand why he’s feeling so bad about this. Lucas arrives asking why Pedro allowed Juan to be with Sara. Pedro says they have to be careful with Sara, who has managed to change their brother too much. Lucas doesn’t understand why Pedro would badmouth Sara, which he pretends to like, Pedro just asks him to get out if his room, since he’s obviously still a child. What a wasted opportunity to get close to your brother, Pedro... you complain you're not the leader, but when you can act like the big brother that you are, too, you act like a moron.

Simon comes back to Bea’s house and Paloma answers. He hugs her tight, says he needs her and explains how Juan and Sara are tarnishing his mother’s memory by being together. He gets down on the floor, on the verge of crying, saying he can’t deal with hiding this anymore. He killed his father. Paloma thinks he only means he was there, he asks for her hugs, he needs her so much.

Deb explains she needs to know who are the bio parents of all the boys, especially Simon. They might have the Del Monte name, but they all come from miserable backgrounds. Dante says they need to find a way to get the adoption papers and mentions Juan and Pedro’s origins who are very bad. Their plotting is interrupted by the arrival of Mateo and Julieta, who don’t see them.

Juli tells Mateo she cares about him very much, that’s why she agreed to go out with him now that she’s no longer dating Juan. As Deb and Dante eavesdrop, Mateo tells Juli that Juan and Sara have been lying to them all along. Just in time for the two culprits to walk in, smiling and holding hands. Everyone stares dramatically for a moment, Juan and Sara lose some of the smile, Juli seems to have figured out everything and Deb and Dante are practically salivating at the entire scene (not more than the Patio gang).

Mateo calls them shameless, Juan tells Julieta he is dating Sara (this is news for Deb, too), she says she was right then, Sara defends the relationship, they won’t hide their feelings. But Juli piles on, Sara even went to her house to tell her nothing was going on between them and Juan accused her of being jealous. Mateo thinks they’re not worth it, but I agree that this is something Julieta has to say, especially since she is actually right – Juan would have married her without a problem and been leading a meh life without a care in the world if it hadn’t been for Sara’s arrival.

Juan says he can go out with Sara just like she is going out with Mateo. Sara wants to leave. Julieta touches Sara, who brushes her off and leaves. Julieta assures Juan that she didn’t want to harm Sara, she’d never try that again and also tells him and Mateo she understands their relationship because she knows how it feels to be crazy in love (Julieta playing the long game here). Mateo is shocked, especially when Juli adds that she will have to learn to accept them together. Juan is surprised by her reaction, Juli urges him to go after Sara. Deb and Dante seem disappointed there was no bigger scene.

Simon tells Paloma he adored his father, but he brought Sara to their lives. He asks for a hug, remembers how his mama Catalina used to comfort him – she doesn’t deserve this. Paloma would like to know why he’s suffering more than his brothers. Simon remembers a conversation he heard between his parents: Catalina is worried Severiano plans to leave her (Deb told her so), but he tells her she is his wife and they have a family together, he would never divorce her. He suggest they take some rest, speak in the morning when they are both calmer, but Catalina can’t even think about sleeping next to him – what for? The boys need to find out the whole truth, Simon is already aware. Back to the present, Simon tells Paloma he always knew they had a sister.

Bertha drags Modesto home, they arrive in a dark kitchen. She is still feeling a bit dizzy after all that Tequila drinking. She asks about Cornelio stopping at the door, Modesto says it’s a family matter. She wants to leave, Modesto grabs her hand briefly, then she leaves. Pedro walks in, looking on the verge of a breakdown.

Mateo asks an explanation about her reaction, but Juli says she won’t give them the satisfaction of creating a scene. Deb and Dante come say hello, Mateo wonders about their friendship, they exchange barbs.

Juan and Sara are in town, now talking about Julieta; Juan believed her, thinks she’s changing, but Sara is doubtful. He smiles and hugs her, but Sara is still unhappy. Breaking these two up will be soooo easy.
