Caray, Caray!

Pedro is looking at his phone mysteriously. Is he the one sending the threats to Juan?

Juan runs to Sara’s office to ask her to leave the company and his life. She takes it all wrong, thinks this is about their break-up, but he’s actually scared for her life. Oh, misunderstandings, the backbone of every good novela love story.  They start quarrelling about the company and who has more power to decide stuff… same old, same old. Eventually Sara accidentally hits Juan over the head with the phone so bad there is blood. Then she fusses over him about cleaning his wound, but they get awfully close in the process. Surprinsingly, I find the scene pretty good, the angst might make these two a better couple. Juan says it's no big deal, Sara wants him to see the company doctor. Where is the speech about violence in the work place? Imagine if Juan had hit Sara by accident?

A doctor checks Juan’s forehead, it’s no big deal. However he postpones the meeting he had and plans to go home.

Deb is trying to remove Catalina’s portrait from the living room, saying Juan OKed it. As if! Modesto forbids it, over his dead body, he proclaims! Deb's eyes say: “Challenge accepted!”

People in town gossip about Pedro, Corni and Bea’s situation. Corni and Pedro get into a fight, but they stop when they see the two guys who attacked Simon. They both seem to know them, even Tadeo notices. Corni tells Tadeo he loves him, Pedro forbids Corni to ever come close to his son.

Juan, Lucas and Alondra get Juli to the house. Deb thinks the “muribunda” might lose the baby and have her plans ruined. She really cracks me up sometimes. Alondra calls Rosa to let her know what has happened, she says Mateo is to blame, which upsets Lucas. Juli is awake and whining about her bebe.

Juan’s assistant, Bruno, tells Sara the meeting is annulled, because Juan got hit in the head. Sara pretends not to know what happened. Juan is on the phone with Lucas, he tells him to take Juli to the hospital if necessary. He’s going home. The doc examines Juli and she’s fine, she just needs to rest in her room. Modesto says her room is cold (huh?), so Mateo offers his own bedroom for Juli. Will he later offer to warm up her cold feet between the sheets?

Jess wants to make out with her husband, but Bryan needs to leave for work. Jess thinks they don’t need to work anymore, their parents will take care of everything, but Bryan disagrees. Prospi interrupts them because he wants to talk. He tells them the story about a woman he loved when he was young; they lived in his parents’ house but she was richer than he was. She always wanted more and more and eventually she left. Jess appears to be getting the message, but when Prospi says they should have their own home, she gets upset, thinks her dad is only trying to push them out because they know about Deb. Prospi makes it clear he only wants them to be happy and independent, rent something if they need to, but be by themselves, form their own family. Jess says she hates him (what?).

Deb is still insisting Catalina’s portrait has to be removed and two of the ranch hands help her do it.

Pedro and Tadeo arrive home, talking about how Pedro forgot to buy underwear for the kid. May I just say one more time that there is no way Bea would have sent her son to spend a weekend away from home without any kind of clothes? Also, if Corni is selling the house and she will be working for Sara, how long before she moves into the ranch, too? 

Tadeo also reminds Pedro he has to go to the doctor’s later. It’s for his therapy, but Pedro says Simon can help, too. Tadeo is scared of Simon, so Pedro asks who has been badmouthing his brother in front of the boy?

Rosa comes to see Juli, who is in Mateo’s room. She makes a huge fuss about Juli’s “agony” and Julieta tells her she got upset because of Mateo.

Lucas asks Mateo what is going on between he and Juli and Mateo says she is the one chasing him now. He doesn’t care anymore, he wants to have a life of his own.

Pedro sees Catalina’s portrait is gone and gets into a fight with Deb. Tadeo doesn’t like it, so Pedro calls Adela to take him away. Then they continue fighting and then Mateo arrives and screams at Deb, too. She says this is her daughter’s house, she is the only one who has the right to have her portrait on the wall.

Juan arrives and gets into it with Deb, too. Catalina Arango is their mom and she isbeing  very disrespectful. She and her daughter need to leave the house. Modesto intervenes to add his two cents, so Deb says that he has changed, since he used to be her ally back in the day: he knew about Sara and he also knows about Simon, who was aware of Sara’s existence, too!

When confronted by the brothers, Modesto has to admit he knew about Sara but he was never Deb’s ally. Pedro threatens Modesto, but Juan stops him and then goes to see Julieta, after asking Modesto to put Catalina’s portrait back where it belongs. Deb says she is putting Sara’s portrait on the wall!

Irma asks Paloma to be present at the wedding and Paloma doesn’t mind. She asks her how her life has been and Irma says she has two younger kids and is married to a good man. She’d love for Paloma to know them. She also explains that life with Sal wasn’t easy, he was very jealous and hit her – when she gets married she will see that married lie can be hard. Oh, boy, considering who she is marrying...

Later Irma says that Paloma looks a lot like her father. When Paloma mentions Sal’s name, Irma makes it clear she didn’t mean him. Who then, tio Modesto? Sure, Irma says, but then Simon arrives, so she leaves.

When Paloma tells Simon she wants her mom at the wedding, he doesn’t like the idea, but he will do it for her. He then tells Paloma he wants her to use his mom’s wedding dress. Paloma agrees. Simon flashes back to the day Catalina showed him her dress and told him how happy she was on her wedding day. When he gets married, his wife should wear this dress, promise? This is the best inheritance she has for him, love and happiness. Back to the present, Simon says that he only got moments of happiness from his mom, and now he wants to share them with her.

Sara asks Dante about Juan’s proposal about the inheritance. Dante explains that had Sara agreed to leave the house with the brothers' approval, it would have been as if she’d never left, so the inheritance wouldn’t have been jeopardized. Sara would like to know why Juan is planning to push her away. Dante thinks Juan is a womanizer, he's planning to steal her part of the money. He only seduced her to fool her and take her money.

Dante adds that he’s worked for the Del Monte family for a long time, there are things he can’t do, but he does feel a special affection for her and her mother. He will do his best to help her even as he works for Juan. Sara would like to know about Juan’s other businesses. Dante tells her to take care of herself, he'll see what he can do.

Juan comes to see Juli, but doesn’t say what happened to his forehead. He wants to talk to her alone, so Rosa, Lucas and Alondra have to go, after Rosa invites herself to dinner.

Alone with Juli, he tells her he got hurt in the cafeteria. She says she fainted and the doc says everything is OK, but she got scared. Juan wants a DNA test. Juli says no problem, but today she got hurt because Mateo is still harassing her. Juan says he will talk to him, but Juli would rather he didn’t. From now on this baby is the most important thing in her life. Juan wants to give the child everything he and Pedro lacked and Juli agrees.

Sara asks Bruno what is the name of the architect working for the company. What is she up to?

Lucas is upset over the portrait, too, but Modesto says it can’t be helped, Sara has rights, too. Lucas is afraid of Simon’s reaction when he finds out. HAHHAHAA!

When Lucas asks Sara about the portrait, she says she told her mom to do it. Lucas is surprised she acted like that, Sara says she has changed, she is a different person now. Even with Lucas.

Rosa and Deb talk about Catalina and Rosa’s thing with Sev. Rosa once again denies anything happened between them. Alondra comes to fetch her mom, but Rosa is planning to stick around for dinner and to take care of her daughter.

Mateo comes by his room briefly, but leaves when Juan says he’d like to talk to him in the study.

Juan asks Dante to come quickly at the house, he got another threat.

Deb tells Sara she removed Catalina’s portrait because she wants to have one of Sara on the wall. Sara says she should have asked her, then thought bubbles an apology to Catalina, saying this is something she has to do.

Sara asks what Rosa is doing here, she finds out about Juli’s problem. Juan arrives and Rosa asks about his forehead wound, but Juan says it was only an accident. Rosa thinks the house has bad chakras.

When Rosa leaves, Juan and Sara get into it over Catalina’s portrait. Sara insisist she asked her mom to remove it. Juan doesn’t care about Sara having her pictures all over the ranch, he even agreed to give her the main room, but this is going to far. He is also the owner of the ranch and if she doesn't like it, she might as well leave.

In the study, Pedro is on the phone with someone, asking them for fake bank statements on Juan’s name, about 5 Million Dollars worth of financial transactions . What is he planning now?

Dante tells Pedro he knows he is behind the threats Juan has been receiving, why is he doing this? Pedro thinks Dante will never tell Juan because it isn’t in his best interest.

Simon is very happy, he wants to talk to Juan about the wedding. He walks into the house and sees there is no portrait on the wall. He yells at Sara he will kill her and her mom, like he had warned them! Juan jumps from his chair, the wording in Simon’s threat is the same as the last bloodied note he received. “What did you say, Simon?” Juan asks in a panic.
