Caray, Caray!

Busy day today, so this is a quick one. A lot of screaming and fighting (again), if I missed something, feel free to add in the comments. 

Pedro wants to take over as President. Juan is surprised his brother would hold such a grudge, Lucas and Sara think they should focus on solving the problems they have now. People are starting to call Juan, so he decides to have a conference to make an official statement.

Bryan is searching for Jess and his mom, but Don Augie has no clue where they are… Geez, Bryan's also hungry, maybe he should prepare his own food, right? He's afraid Jess will never get used to their life.

Salvador is still whining about bad Irma, even as Modesto asks him to forget about it. Adela arrives with bad news: Irma is back! Caray! Salvador only hopes that woman won’t cause any more pain. Adela realisez Paloma knows her mom is alive and encourages Sal: Paloma is a smart girl, she’ll understand why he had to lie.

Deb is walking around town, minding her business (shocking, right?), when Amado asks to talk to her of all people – he knows she helped Cornelio, so now he needs her help, too. One of the Del Monte brothers is his sibling. It's Lucas Del Monte. Deb’s eyes sparkle with interest.

Mateo wakes up from his latest drunken stupor, just in time to see the ghost of his mama Catalina, who asks him to stay at home and allow his siblings to help him. He whines about Julieta, she shushes him (a slap would work better), and says Juli will learn to value him, too. And she loves him so much. That’s not enough for Mateo, though, the woman of his life despises him and how could she not, he’s such a drunk!

Apparently Prospi fainted. Now he’s better and Julieta arrives for Rosa to tell her they have money trouble. Did I miss the scene about Prospi’s affair being revealed??

Paloma and Simon arrive at the bar to ask Modesto to help them with the wedding planning. Modesto is afraid to say yes, especially because of Salvador, but how can he say no?? They hug! May you always love one another like you do at this moment, Modesto says. 

Simon sees Mr. Henry’s video, too. He’s not happy.

Juan is preparing for his declaration. Mr. Henry calls Pedro to tell him now he owes him Refugio Santa Catalina and the ranch now. Apparently the whole thing was plotted by the two of them. They decide to speak later.

Juan is ready to talk, Pedro wants to sit next to him. As everyone watches, Juan and Pedro talk about getting the company back on track and Juan says Sara is not his lover, but his girlfriend that he loves and will defend. 

And that's it! A 30 seconds statement, but apparently it was amazing because as soon as the camera stops rolling, Sara kisses Juan. Pedro pretends to be happy with the declaration they gave, and when they are left alone Juan admits they work well together, which means that he needs to stay on as President. But Pedro is worried for the company, too, and he will protect it, even against Juan. They talk about Severiano changing with Pedro just before he died, but Juan doesn’t know the reasons and Pedro doesn’t want to share, says he has nothing to hide. Pedro leaves, he has to get ready for the congress. Juan asks him to take care what he tells to the press.

Julieta is upset Juan never made a declaration about her while they were together. The girls and Prospi want Deb out, but how can Rosa throw out her friend and business partner? More family squabbling, especially when everyone points out that Deb has a rich daughter that could help her and how come Rosa thinks Deb is so great anyway?

Irma is outside the bar, but Salvador stops her from coming in. She just want Paloma’s forgiveness, says she only cheated on him because he pushed her away. She won’t give up on reaching Paloma and even if he stops her from going inside for now, she will stay in town until Paloma is ready to talk to her. Salvador looks like he's about to strangle Irma, but he somehow refrains himslef. 

Mateo is in a club, drinking and hooking up with a girl who looks a lot like and is even named Julieta. At one point he gets so deluded, he even thinks this woman is his Julieta, saying he loves her. The girl wants to leave, but he suggests they go somewhere else. She actually agrees. Stay tuned to see what happens next on "True Crimes - the Del Monte Chronicles. "

Deb wants more details from Amado. He tells her his mom is very sick and asked him to come search for his brother. He only knew it was Lucas going by the age. He adds that his family was very poor, so his mom left Lucas in town (at an orphanage?) and couldn’t get him back anymore. Deb promises to help him, but he has to keep all of this a secret.

Then Deb calls Dante to give him the good news: she knows who is Lucas Del Monte’s brother.

Modesto asks Paloma and Simon to leave, but Salvador arrives and sees them. Simon tells him about the wedding and Salvador says he won’t say no anymore. He will always see him as Severiano’s son, but so be it. Simon and Paloma plan to marry next week. Salvador can’t give his blessing, because her mother is back in town. Paloma cries.

Cornelio comes to visit Bea and Cornelio. Sweet moment with Tadeo, who loves him a lot and wants to be like him when he grows up. Then Cornelio apologizes to Bea for trying to take the boy away, he was desperate. He has no more family, no home and no work… Bea wants him to leave!

Lucas and Sara are alone, talking about how impressed they are of the way Juan defended Sara. She even understands what he meant when he asked her to separate business from their private life. Really, that's all it took? Juan comes by quickly to tell her to wait for him while he goes to talk to Dante. As soon as he’s gone, Pedro comes to talk to Sara, too. After Lucas leaves, he tells her he only wanted to become president because he found proof of Juan comminting fraud in the company.

Juan and Dante talk about the possibility of losing their stock value. And Juan wants to have Mr. Henry followed, see who he connects with. Dante asks if he wants Mr. Henry gone for good, it’s the type of drastic measure Seve sometimes took; Juan hopes it won’t come to this (but he's not completely shoked by the possibility). 

Lucas tells Alondra he prefers Juan as President instead of Pedro. She’s not happy with Sara’s influence over him, but Lucas would rather not get into this, since Sara is his sister and they just started going out. He then receives a message notification: someone is asking to boycott the company because Juan only cares about himself. He, Pedro and Sara run to warn Juan and they mention the live Lucas did where he complained about Juan rejecting his kinesiotherapy project. 

Avocados R US is being canceled all over social media. 

Juan makes some calls, asks Dante to call all the clients who are canceling their orders and fine them. A client calls Juan, so he offers a 10% discount to keep him. Pedro is upset they have all these propblems, he wants to call for a meeting and give Juan a vote of non confidence. 

Juan pushes Pedro on his chair: want this place? Take it! And if you make a mistake I will be the one voting you out of the company for good. You think this is so easy? Or that I don’t know everything you’ve done against the company? (Pedro flashes back to his last confrontation with his father) Juan pushes Pedro again and tells him he will have to confront this as the vicepresident he is.

Juan is also upset with how irresponsible Lucas was, posting that video against him. Sara thinks Juan should stop making declarations and Juan asks his social media people to remove Lucas’ video. No more lives, Lucas, he also orders!!

Paloma wants to run to see her mother. She needs an explanation. Salvador kneels to apologize for all the pain he caused her, he loves her so much, he doesn’t want to lose her. Manipulative much?

Mateo and FauxJulieta are in bed together. To the Patio's surprise, she's still alive. More amazing still: Mateo can still perform after drinking twice his body weight. He keeps saying he loves this new girl, but then grabs his phone to look at RealJulieta’s number. What have I done? He sends her a text, saying he misses her. RealJulieta smiles when she sees the message.

Alondra comes to tell her about the problems in the Del Monte family. They both blame Sara for everything. But Alondra and Lucas are dating now, even if Lucas loves Sara, who Alondra detests.  Julieta has an idea, so she grabs her purse and leaves in a hurry, even as it rains heavily.

Juan revises the contract Severiano signed with Mr. Henry. They have a clause that protects them for two months in case they can’t deliver the merchandise. Dante is in charge with dealing with the legal implementation of this clause. Juan wants to go see Henry and asks Pedro to come with him.

Sara arrives at the bar to tell Simon to go talk to the workers the next day, Juan asked him to. This is Sara’s fault, of course, Simon accuses her, and Paloma tries to calm him. Sara says they are all trying to fix the problem together and Simon agrees to work with his brothers, but not with her. Sara leaves and Paloma wants him to stop fighting with his sister. But Simon wants Paloma to stop all contact with Sara when they are married. Still no red flags, Paloma?

Juan and Pedro come to talk to Mr. Henry. Juan grabs him by the collar, ruffles him up a bit. He’s no professional, they had agreed to terminate their contract as gentlemen, but Henry decided to play dirty, so now Juan will force him to respect all the clauses in their original contract. Pedro asks Juan not to dirty his hands with such a guy. Mr. Henry calls Juan an adoptado, son of a prostitute. Filled with rage, Juan head-butts him and Henry collapses to the floor.
