Caray, Caray!

Pedro tells Tadeo killing is very bad, nobody has to right to take another person’s life. Tadeo starts telling him about what he heard when Sara interrupts with the news that Lucas’ mother is feeling bad and they need to get to the ranch. Bohoo!

Juan and Mateo wonder if Lucas’ mom wouldn’t have been better in the hospital. Lucas is compatible for a transplant, but in her state, it would be too little, too late. Mateo asks Juan how he would react if he saw his mom again. Juan can’t even think about it, he’d hate to have to deal with her ever again. Mateo thinks they should tell Simon what is happening, he’ll get upset if he’s not aware.

Amado and Lucas with their dying mom, she wants to talk to Lucas in private. She is sorry he lost his inheritance because of her (he doesn’t care), she apologizes for abandoning him, she’s hoped to get him back for so many years, but there was never enough money. And she knew he will be OK with this family. Lucas understands her, he has a family who loves him, but he still needs her, that’s why he wanted to take care of her, too. She gave him life and for that he thanks her. And for having tried to come back for him. He would have liked to have had more time with her, always prayed to God to protect her. And then she dies.

Alone in a bedroom (is it a hotel room?) Dante is upset Deb was Prospi’s lover. Yeah, but Deb only loves him and she’s been faithfully waiting for him for years, while he was married; she only slept with Prospi for the money and soon enough she will get her hands on his company, too. How come? Because Rosa never read the contract she signed, and there is a clause that will help her get her hands on the company whenever she decides kit’s the right time.

Dante is very worried because Pedro plans to use Sara to get his hands on the company. He will eventually manage to win against Juan. Deb asks about the charities, and Dante says he is handling this. He is also handling the paperwork for Lucas’ money… a lot of millions. They fall on the bed, kissing.

Later, once they’re done, Deb asks what Dante’s plans with Aurora are. Dante is not yet sure what he will be doing with her, does say she is retired from her “work”. Deb urges him to be careful, then remembers Pedro asking her to see the DNA documents that prove Sara is a Del Monte. She doesn’t tell Dante what she’s thinking about, though.

Pedro and Sara arrive to talk to Juan and Mateo. They all decide to be united for Lucas. Group hug. Then they go inside the room and try to do their best to comfort him, while he sobs on his mother’s chest. They all encourage him and promise to be by his side.

Julieta wants to confront Deb over her accusation against Rosa, but her mom thinks they should say nothing, Lucas is more important for Juan now. And she needs to take care of her baby. Juli agrees. Rosa promises always to protect her.

Juan tells Lucas he will handle everything about the funeral. When Mateo tells him Simon is coming back from his honeymoon to be there for him, too, Lucas explodes, he can handle everything on his own. Sara explains they only want to help, but Lucas gets even madder, pushes Pedro, and screams at Juan – that’s why he’s still a child, because of their constant need to protect him. Sara says they all know he can handle it alone, they only want to help because they love him. Lucas starts crying and asks them to forgive him, he’s acting like an idiot. Another group hug.

Rosa tells Juli she needs to go support Lucas, it’s her duty as Juan’s future wife. Juli doesn’t feel like it, Rosa teaches her how to be her best hypocrite self (it’s gonna be a short lesson, Juli is already an A+ student).

Modesto and Bertha talk about Lucas and his pain. Then Modesto mentions his dead wife, who has been gone for many years. He still misses her.

Sara wants to fix Lucas some tea and Pedro offers to help. She is happy with him for buying that house for Tadeo and Bea, he proved what a swell guy he is. Pedro says he’s made many mistakes, but he’s doing his best to improve. And yeah, he’s trying to change for Tadeo, too, he always felt a connection to him, even when he didn’t know they were the same blood. And he is so frightened he might not be there for his son on the long run (uh, oh, foreshadowing!). Sara asks Pedro to stop confronting Cornelio, it’s for everyone’s good.

Bea arrives to interrupt them, she came to comfort Lucas. And no, Tadeo is not alone, he’s with Dulce and Salvador. When Bea leaves, Pedro makes sure Sara is aware he and Bea are done!

Lucas plans to take his mother’s body to San Luis Potosi, to be with his other brothers. Mateo asks if he plans to stay there, but Lucas is not sure yet. Juan says no matter what happened with the inheritance, Santa Catalina will always be his home.

As Bea waits for Lucas, Rosa scolds her for not arriving at an opportune moment. Lucas comes from the study and Bea hugs him. Then it’s Juli’s turn to give her condolence, but then she grabs Juan’s hand to say that as one life ends, another one begins. And she shows Juan a video of her sonogram, and we can hear the baby’s heart beat, their little Severiano del Monte (Ugh, I hope it’s a girl and she will be called Matea). Juan is smiling, but everyone else is very somber looking, talk about bad timing.

The next day Simon and Paloma are back home. Tadeo greets them, Lucas thinks they shouldn’t have come, but Simon hugs him tight, he wanted to be with him in these hard moments.

A few days later…

Salvador is checking his cash register, some money is missing. Lucas and Amado arrive, Lucas says he’s decided to stay in town. He will send Amado and his brothers money, he cares about them a lot. Amado tells Lucas about his debts. If he doesn’t pay, they are both in mortal danger. He says he needed the money for their mother’s treatments and some other shady stuff he can’t talk about… The nasty guys arrive at the Bar, calling for Amado to join them. Lucas remembers the night of the attack.

One of the guys comes to talk to Lucas, tells him he needs to pay Amado’s debts. Lucas says he’s not paying anything. The guy punches him, Lucas hits back, but he seems to have the odds stacked against him.

Over breakfast Sara tells Julieta that she doesn’t agree to her sitting place at the table (to Juan’s left), she doesn’t belong in that chair. Juli strongly disagrees, reminds Sara she wanted to “hurt” her. Juan tries to stop them, but then things get really good when Paloma arrives with a tray of food, and Simon asks her to sit, adding that if they are talking about who has the right to the best chair at the table, that should be Paloma, his wife. Juli says how come, since she’s doing a servant’s job, which (you guessed it) upsets Simon, but Rosa and Deb’s reactions are the best. Simon asks Julieta to respect his wife and nastily scolds Paloma for helping in the kitchen, never again! He asks her to sit, again and has to help her sit by his side, at the overcrowded table.

Dulce says goodbye to Brandon and his family… ffw

Juan and Simon talk about Lucas, who is still part of the company and needs money to help his brothers. He adds that he didn’t like how he talked to Paloma (true!), but Simon shuts him up, because he himself can’t control his two women (truer!).

As Simon leaves, Sara comes to inform Juan they are signing an important contract today, he should act professional about it. This coming from someone who goes to work wearing skin tight clothes and an exposed torso.

Mateo tells Pedro he will be late to work because he’s going to say goodbye to Dulce. But Pedro thinks he can say bye bye through video, the company is more important.

Brandon is preparing his bag, counting his money, he’s up to no good…ffw

Sara arrives to work and Bea tells her someone is waiting in her office Who is that? Aurora, Juan and Pedro’s mom, she introduces herself. She wants Sara to help her get close to her kids. Sara says that’s not her job, Aurora should talk to them. Aurora says she is sorry for all the pain she caused, but Sara knows she has been a crappy mother, and even as she thinks everyone deserves a second chance, this is not her place to meddle. She wants to know why Aurora came to her for help. Aurora says she didn’t have an easy life, raising two kids alone, with no money, she had so much rage, why did it have to happen to her? Sara is sorry, but she can’t help, she has to do this on her own, without using any type of manipulations. Aurora agrees, leaves Sara a note with her phone number.

Alone at home, it’s still not over between Paloma and Julieta (I really hope these two are sisters!). Juli asks Paloma more coffee, wants to pull rank, saying she is the lady of the house. Stupid Paloma doesn’t fight back, she actually serves coffee to Julieta and Rosa, she wants to avoid problems for Simon. But she is his wife and Julieta has to respect her. Rosa reminds Paloma about her mom sleeping with Sev, Paloma says she’s not looking for a fight, but Juli is making a mistake. Juli resents that, she is the lady of Santa Catalina!

Deb and Bertha arrive at the boutique, Deb plans to hire someone to tale Bea’s place, Bertha offers to help just for a little while. Deb rightfully notices the shop is very antiquated, starts searching through the drawers and finds a box. 

The meeting is about to start, but the brothers are not at work yet. Sara tells Bea who the woman visiting her was, but she doesn’t plan to interfere. She calls Juan, but the call goes to voice message.

Bea adds that she and Cornelio are about to meet to talk here, at the company.

As Lucas is down on the floor, all his brothers show up and start beating the crap out of the bad guys. It’s a beautiful scene really, four men wearing business attire teaching a lesson to the town thugs! Lucas is feeling very bad, though, that first guy managed to punch him good. Sal calls for the police.

One of the thugs pulls out a gun and directs it at Juan, who manages to disarm him. Simon says they will press charges against them, the leader of the gang threatens them. When the thugs leave, Salvador is upset the Bar has been ruined. Juan promises to pay for the damages. Lucas is still shaken up, Juan and Pedro ask why did they try to beat him? Lucas says these are the guys who attacked him before. Pedro and Mateo think they should have finished them off, Juan wants to tell the cops. Both Juan and Pedro remember the day in town when they saw two of the men in close vicinity to Lucas.

Idiot Sal is blaming the brothers for messing up his Bar, Juan apologizes, but Pedro rightfully points out the guys were attacking Lucas, they were only defending them. Juan asks Simon to call Dante. He will handle the meeting at the company.

Paloma is in a hurry to go say goodbye to Dulce, but eventually shares with Modesto how Julieta is bothering her, saying she is the lady of the house. But Simon can’t know about it. Modesto thinks he should know, but Paloma wants to keep silent, avoid conflict.

Bertha doesn’t think Deb should break open the box, but this is Deb, she couldn’t care less! And she finds Rosa’s Love Letters to Severiano Del Monte!!! Yey for Deb being a meddler!

Juli is afraid Paloma will unite with Sara to make her life a living hell, that’s why she needed to make clear who was in charge. Rosa is ashamed to go outside, people might realize she and Prospi are separated, but Julieta wants her to go buy her basinet.

Bea and Cornelio talk about Tadeo, with a guard looking over, at Sara’s demand. Cornelio only wanted to tell her they have to leave the house, but he plans to keep the money for Tadeo. And Sal could help them, give them a room for now. Bea asks if he knows who bought the house, Corni doesn’t, so Bea says it’s Pedro. Corni gets mad, thinks this was planned by Pedro and Bea together, to humiliate him, show him that Pedro has more money than he does. He’s never been in more pain than when his mother died, but he will never forgive such betrayal. How could they? And he places his wedding ring in Bea’s hand. Good riddance!

Juan finally answers Sara, tells her he talked to their business partner guy, signing of the contract will be done another day. When Sara protests, Juan finally tells her why he had to postpone, Lucas is going to be checked up by a doctor at the ranch and Simon went to press charges with Dante. Sara runs home, too.

Dante and Aurora talk. Dante is upset her sons have caused a mess again and he has to go to the Bar. Asking how things went with Sara, Aurora says she is a tough woman. Dante almost proudly says Sara is no sentimental flower, nothing like Juan and Pedro. Aurora begs Dante for help with her sons. Pedro is calling Dante and he asks Aurora if she wants to talk to him. Pedro wants to talk about the man he hired to kill Cornelio.

Augusto thinks he should have been part of the fight, too, but Sal is more worried about who is going to clean up everything. Simon and Paloma are there, too, Simon is still upset with Augie over what he said about Sev’s accident. Amado wants to talk to Simon. Victorio and the others are traffickers, they shot him that time, but their target was Cornelio. The problem is they have no proof, but Victorio is very dangerous. Simon and Paloma run to the ranch, tell what they just found out to everyone else.

Juli admires the ranch, daydreaming about all of this belonging to her son one day. Rosa is hungry, Paloma should have prepared them some food. Prospi arrives, wanting to talk to Rosa. He admits he made a mistake, but if Rosa won’t forgive him, then they need to get a divorce. Rosa thinks he’s crazy, but Prospi doesn’t want to stay together just for appearances. She has always cared more about what other people think, he might have cheated, but she wasn’t the greatest wife, either. Rosa offends him by saying he was never able to satisfy her as a woman. Prospi is sorry he couldn’t be the perfect man for her, but he won’t stand this humiliation. She can keep thinking she is right about everything, he is done!

Sara arrives to see Lucas, who is in his bed, feeling very bad. She notices all the brothers are ruffled, they explain they all fought to defend their brother. Sara and Juan ask Lucas what happened the night he was attacked. Lucas says the guys wanted to rape him! What? Caras impactadas all over!

Juan thinks they should let the Police handle this, but Mateo and Pedro want to do things differently. Lucas was ashamed to talk about it, and he couldn’t even defend himself. He tells his siblings what exactly happened, remembers the men spanking him, calling him names…

Sara doesn’t think he should continue, and Lucas can’t stand talking about it anymore. She promises to always be by his side. Juan and Pedro are both furious.

Julieta has made a frame of her pregnant picture. She thinks she looks lovely, Modesto points out she is less beautiful when she makes Paloma feel bad. He knows this is about her fight with Sara, but he doesn’t want to go against her, he hopes her son will be a blessing for the family. Juli agrees, her son will be a better Del Monte, because unlike Tadeo, he will be a legitimate heir. Modesto warns her to leave the kids out of this and she should stay away from Paloma, too.

Deb arrives, she noticed Prospi outside, looking so sad. She wants to know where ridiculous Rosa is, calls for her singing. Modesto looks amused.

Dante arrives at the Bar, Sal is still whining.

Alone with Lucas, Sara and Juan think he was very brave to talk about what happened. They apologize for not being aware of what was going on with him, even as they realized he wasn’t doing OK.

Cornelio is helping Victorio get into Santa Catalina in exchange for getting the guy who ordered his assassination. Then Corni calls Modesto to ask him to join him to go pick up Tadeo from school.

Simon and Paloma run inside the house and tell the others the man who attacked Lucas was the same guy who shot Amado. They all go to the study, and Simon says the guy was supposed to shot Cornelio. Pedro is not happy with how this conversation is going, Lucas knows Amado owes them a lot of money. Juan thinks they need proof, Paloma insists they are very dangerous. They all decide to go talk to the Police.

Rosa asks Deb to get out of Juli’s room. But Deb wants to talk about Sev, how long have they been involved? Rosa threatens her, but Deb says she has the love letters for Severiano, so she should be scared of her. Is she afraid the letters will come to light? Or that Juli might be Sev’s daughter, too? NOBODY will ever take Sara’s place, so Rosa should be careful!

Prospi, Adela, Modesto and Bertha are in the kitchen, talking about Prospi getting a divorce. Modesto says he had to go see Corni, but he ca go later, if Prospi needs to talk about it.

Brandon ran away from home…

Julieta finds out what has been happening, but she is worried about Juan, says she is waiting for him to come back home for dinner. The baby has started kicking, would tia Sara want to be the first the feel the kicks? Sara admits not knowing much about pregnancy, Juli offends her saying she will most likely never have the joy of being pregnant… this is all so random and idiotic, seeing what they are all dealing with right now. Sara says they are all in a hurry, Juli puts Juan’s hand on her belly, with Sara and Mateo looking.

Cornelio is still calling Modesto, asking him to come over, but Modesto is busy, they can see each other later.

The thugs arrive at the ranch. They start shooting the guards and get inside the property. The Del Montes hear the shots and go in defense mode. Modesto starts locking all the doors and windows. Somehow idiot Brandon runs inside and manages to get through the main doors before Pedro and Mateo lock them. Shots are being fired all over, as Simon and Mateo call the cops. The Del Montes are all locked up in the house, staying away from the windows, while the thugs have taken control of the outside and are trying to get in. Juan asks Modesto to take all the women to his room. But Sara wants to stay, protect the house. Prospi stays with the women upstairs.

Now in the study, Juan gives everyone guns. Sara wants one, too, Modesto grabs two. Adela wants to fight, too, so she gets an weapon.

Rosa, Deb, Juli, Paloma and Brandon are in the room with Prospi when Modesto arrives with two guns. He hands one to Prospi, asks the women to keep quiet.

The shots are reaching inside the house. Simon and Pedro leave together, Mateo defends the front entry. Adela tells Sara to stay in the study, but she wants to go defend her brothers.

Juan and Lucas are now outside, they start fighting with three thugs (use your guns!). Pedro and Simon are outside, too, firing at some other guys, while Adela, Mateo and Sara are still inside. Mateo starts fighting with a guy, while two others go upstairs.

Juan and Lucas manage to disarm their opponents. Sara and Adela come outside and Sara shoots one of the guys, while Juan gets another one. Pedro and Simon are disarmed, but they start fighting and come up on top. They see Victorio and go after him.

The two guys who went upstairs try to break the door of the bedroom and start fighting with Prospi and Modesto. One of them overpowers Prospi and comes inside, but Mateo hits him, saving the women. Juli runs to him.

Cornelio comes running to the ranch, only to find a bunch of guards dead on the ground; he remembers his father’s words about loving him, just like Modesto is fighting with a thug, who is about  to kill him. Corni gets upstairs, just as the guy shoots Modesto. He punches the guy, but Modesto isn’t waking up. Is he dead?
