Caray, Caray!

Pedro, Lucas and Mateo are eating, talking about Sara and the business in general, when Pedro gets a news buzz on his phone, announcing that Meester Henry (heh) is dead. He tells his brothers about this and suggests that Juan might have had something to do with it, he was very upset with Henry when they last spoke. Modesto interferes to defend Juan. Mateo also tells his siblings Julieta is pregnant. Pedro can barely contain his glee. 

Simon has come to see Paloma since she's not answering any of his calls. They start arguing about Sara again, the subject of the wedding is brought up and Paloma says she's not so sure about getting married anymore. And it's not only Simon's treatment of his sister, but also the fact that she's about to graduate and would like to start working, build her career. She also calls Simon a machista, thinks he should start therapy again and adds that she's not breaking up with him because she loves him so much, but the wedding is off for now. 

Sara finally wakes up from her coma and remembers the moments of the attack. She sees Juan and asks if Pedro is OK. Juan reassures her.

Dante and Deb meet outside the ranch to talk about Sara being on the verge of death. They are both very worried, but then Dante mentions Henry being dead. Deb doesn't get the time to inquire about this, because Prospi is arriving to apologise to D&D about the lie he told involving them: his family thinks they are lovers. Dante gets furious, this lie will cause him a lot of problems with the Del Monte family. But Deb steals the scene (like usual), ostensibly calling Dante "Senor" and saying he's a dear old friend - she would never! Prospi apologizes a million times and then leaves, allowing Dante to question Deb about her relationship with this peasant. Deb plays the same offended card, she and "Senor" Prospero are not involved and Dante should be smart enough to realize her act, since she lies the same way about both her lovers. 

Later they get to talking about moving forward with their plans to eliminate all the Del Monte men from the picture. Starting with Lucas! Deb has a plan to reveal his miserable mother to him and somehow get him to become so mad with his siblings, he will want to give up his inheritance and leave the ranch. (If someone understood Deb's plan better... I have no clue how the two would connect).

Rosa is very happy she and Prospi have reconciled and she tells Alondra everything is good between them now. Her daughter is relieved, thinks all their troubles are over. Juli arrives to add to her mother's joy, by saying she is pregnant ... (Rosa frowns) with Juan Del Monte. Rosa cheers like a mad woman, Juli finally managed to trap a Del Monte. She doesn't seem to care about the optics or what would people say, only Alondra has the decency to look concerned, even tries to suggest that maybe it's too soon to start spending on a fetus. Bertha also reminds Rosa that their financial situation is not the best, but they are both quickly silenced! Rosa knows better, they have no money problems, everything is perfect and she obviously hasn't changed AT ALL.

Sara doesn't want to take her medicine, Juan has to convince her it's for her own good. Then he actually spoon feeds her and it's cute, but then he gets a message about Henry's death and his demeanor changes. He doesn't share this information with Sara, but she brings up the dead guy herself, by saying she's sure Henry ordered the attack. Juan mentions how Pedro already made a declaration to the police, she will have to do the same when she feels better. Then he tries to get her to think of something else, promises he will always protect her and he loves her so much. The feeling is mutual, Sara would like nothing more than to start a family together, have a child and give it the type of family they both missed growing up. We should get married, Sara suggests and Juan looks worried, not because he doesn't want to marry her, too, but maybe because he already kind of has a bundle of joy on the way. He covers by saying he'd like to be the one who makes the proposal and both agree to talk about this when she's out of the hospital. 

Another interruption happens, this time in the form of a text message. Juan reads in disbelief how some anonymous person threatens him to be careful and do a better job protecting Sara, because she will never be safe around him; if she stays at the ranch, she'd dead!

Walking around town in a trance, still remembering Paloma's accusations, Simon runs into Irma. She approaches him trying to gain his good will (at Deb's advice, mind you), but she's in for a shock when Simon blames her for being the cause of some of his mother's pain. Basically she and his father are at fault for everything going wrong in his life. And leaves in a huff. Irma realizes Deb lied to her, this has to be the worse Del Monte (I almost agree, but you haven't met Pedro, yet, Irma.)

Pedro comes to visit Julieta to "congratulate" her for her clever new plan. He's really impressed she managed to pull this off. He tells her his "suspicions" about Juan being behind Henry's death, look at how far he's willing to go for Sara, but Juli doesn't seem bothered by the fact that her maybe baby daddy might be a criminal because she has bigger worries. Now that she has advanced so well in her plan to be with Juan, maybe Pedro should take advantage and do something to win Sara over. She is actually very proud of herself/ patronizing, her anvil can't come soon enough. Pedro receives all her advice with his usual sarcasm, but has to admit that this pregnancy makes things easier for both of them. Regardless, the baby is not due for a while, Sara could still win more territory with Juan in the meantime, what Julieta needs to do is play on his paternal instincts. 

Lucas has come to visit Sara, too and he inadvertedly spills the beans about Henry being dead. Juan is obviously upset, when they step outside he warns Lucas not to talk to Sara about everything going on around them while she's still in the hospital. Not about the fighting with Simon or about Julieta's pregnancy. Juan gets another message, which warns him that he's running out of time if he wants to protect Sara. He asks Lucas to stay at the hospital with Sara, while he goes to deal with a few things. Lucas encourages him to fight for Sara, he obviously loves her very much. 

Paloma and Bea talk about the custody case, but Paloma has a hard time focusing. And it's not only because of the wedding being postponed, but also the fact that Simon told her he killed his father. Bea is shocked, thinks that maybe Paloma understood wrong, but Paloma reassures her that going by Simon's state, she's afraid of what other secrets he might be keeping. 

Tadeo comes down and the women realize he has a fever. The boy wants to see his dad Cornelio, but also his dad, Pedro. I'm sure that will go well. 

Rosa comes to visit Jess at the Cruz family home. She wants to take her shopping, but before she can explain what for, Adela invites the Millan family to dinner. Rosa sits on the couch and falls over Abuelo Augustin when the sofa springs break under her weight. 

A small chaos ensues, but then Jess asks her mom if she and Brayan can come live at the house. Rosa is more than happy to accept her daughter's return home, but she has to talk to Prospi about the rest, especially now that the family is getting bigger and they really need to get going, they need to start shopping for a crib and whatnot. The Cruz family think Jess is pregnant, but no, God forbid that the married daughter be waiting a child with her beloved husband. No, this is about dumbed Julieta, waiting a baby out of wedlock and the baby is Juan Del Monte's of course. Nobody seems as happy as Rosa is with the news. 

Still in town, Simon is attacked by four men carrying knives. They manage to hurt his foot before Amado sees them (since this happens in the middle of the day) and comes to Simon's rescue. The men run but promise to be back. Simon asks Amado to call Paloma and Pedro, NOT Juan. Amado calls Paloma.

On her hospital bed, half asleep, for some reason Sara remembers a talk she had with Pedro, when he warned her about Juan not being so squeaky clean as he pretends to be. Lucas is watching her, but Pedro arrives to say that he will be taking over, while Lucas needs to go back at the ranch because he's needed. What for? Pedro pretends to be very worried about Juan, especially since he's suspecting that he had something to do with Henry's death. Lucas refuses to believe such a thing about their brother, he trusts Juan. Pretending to sleep, Sara hears the whole conversation and thought bubbles that she trusts Juan, too. But the seed of doubt has been planted. 

Juan is back home, talking with Modesto about the hard choices he has to make. And he doesn't have much time left. He has to find a way to keep Sara safe, so he's decided he needs to remove her from his life (or remove himself from hers). He's broken up over the whole thing, but he sees this as a necessary sacrifice. Sara might be hurt now, but on the long run, she will be happier. Modesto tries to explain to Juan that happiness is something you build every day, but Juan gets another menacing message warning him that his time is up. When he mentions Julieta's baby Modesto adds that once he makes sure the baby is his, he can take care of it and still have his own happy life. When Juan insists there is no other way, Modesto promises to always be there for him. 

Lucas runs into Deb and Dante at the hospital. They chit chat about Henry and then Deb ever so casually turn the conversation to Lucas' wellbeing and mentions his bio mother. What, what?

Cornelio has come to visit Tadeo, who is still feeling bad. So he apologizes because his son is suffering because of his problems. He asks Bea to allow him to spend the night, be close to Tadeo. Bea agrees and mentions how Paloma left because Simon was badly hurt during an attack. Corni is shocked. 

Julieta is at the office, deleting some emails, while saying out loud that Juan will never find out that she was the one who tampered with the fertilizer!!! It is all over. Juan walks in and asks what is over, but she deflects and Juan asks to talk about the baby. Juli is not against a paternity test, but accuses Juan about carrying more about Sara than having a baby. This pregnancy is not only her fault and she would never use a child to trap him, that's so basic (LOL). Juan says he will always be there for his child, and demands a paternity proof. But Julieta wants a real family, especially since she still loves him. Juan flashes back to Sara's words about starting a family. What to do, what to do?
