Caray, Caray!

This is in no way complete. Feel free to add anything I omitted. 

This just keeps getting messier . . .

-Pedro actually asks Sara to be his novia in front of EVERYONE but she will not be pressured not accepting. Mad Dog Simón is incensed by the very idea.  Later, he warns Paloma not to put her support of Sara between them. (Too bad that Paloma didn't heed our advice to RUN as far as she could away from this nut job. )She wonders if he is against Sara because of the inheritance or because she is woman. (Neither, he is plain old crazy) He denies he is a misogynist. He thinks all of his  problems can be cured by Paloma  having a baby. More machismo is lurking  when Sal asks Paloma if she has told Mad Dog  about her starting a law practice. She says she is independent and doesn't need to talk to him about it. He and Agustín seem to disagree. Later, she tells Mad Dog that she had a secret to tell him (about her law practice while he thinks it is about her being pregnant) but never has the chance in this episode. Mad Dog is continually aggressive against Sara through out the episode. The topic of "machismo" comes up again when after wooing Rosa and asking her to marry him again so they can renew their vows, Prospi ruins the moment by asking Rosa if she ever loved Severiano.  She says no and insists she never cheated on him and asks him if HE would have forgiven her as she did him if  she had cheated on him.  He never answers and they agree that both of their  mind sets came from the "machismo" they were raised with. (Quite insightful!) (A PSA of sorts) 

-When Rosa wants a photo of  Juli and Juan with the new crib, Pedro smirks as Sara clearly looks distressed. He does show up later to "comfort"  her when she is crying on her bed. (What a slime ball!)

-Lucas tells Pedro that he shouldn't marry Juli. He doesn't want to see him ruin his life. 

-Amado tells Cornelio he is leaving town and going home.  He warns him to be careful around Deb. She could easily send him to jail or to the grave. (If only . .  ) 

-Sara tells Pedro about his mother showing up and that she will not get involved in that situation. He tells her that his mother especially hated him because he reminded her of his father. He cannot tell Sara the unimaginable ways she tortured him. He falls apart and she tries to console him. Maybe Juan can forgive his mother, but he cannot.  

-Sal tells Agustín that Cornelio was a part of the group that attacked Santa Catalina. He cannot let it go. He refuses to be an accomplice and not inform the police. Sal and Agustín just happen to run into Cornelio on the way to the police station and Sal tells him he is going to file a complaint against him. Magically, Deb appears. Sal is going to file complaints against, her, too for what she did to Prospi and his brother. Deb  threatens Sal  with mistreatment of Paloma and Tadeo and threatens Agustín, too, if any complaints are made against her.  Cornelio makes a show of saying how sorry he was that he ever asked her for help. She threatens him with mistreating Tadeo, too, if he doesn't leave her alone. We find out later in a phone conversation that Cornelio and Deb are in cahoots and the confrontation was staged. She trusts him to keep Sal and Agustín under control. That being said, Cornelio makes Deb assure him that she would never do anything against Tadeo. 

-Mateo tells all of the brothers and Sara at the company that he is walking away from his inheritance. He is recovering from a disease, in therapy, and  in love.  He doesn't want all of the  problems that have come from the inheritance. Pedro and Lucas tell Mateo he will always have a place at the business and at Santa Catalina. Mateo is still planning on working at the company being in charge of machinery and the security guards but  he is resigning from the board. Nobody can change his mind. 

-Sara announces to all of the brothers that she is contesting the will. Mad Dog goes crazy wanting to start legal proceedings against her immediately. Juan says he also is involved as an heir and that they will let the judge decide and live with the results. 

-PSA: SEXUAL ASSAULT VICTIMS ARE NOT TO BLAME!  Lucas confesses to Alondra what happened to him and how upset he has been. He is a man and couldn't defend himself. She tells him that victims of sexual assault have nothing to be ashamed of. She loves him and will be there for him. 

-Dante tells Deb that another brother has fallen! She correctly guesses it was the drunk. 

-PSA:  READ ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING BEFORE YOU SIGN IT! Prospi and Rosa show up at their fabric store only to find that Deb has changed the locks. She is the new owner. Deb insists there was nothing illegal about it because Rosa signed a contract turning over the business to her in two months since the date that they became partners. She shows Rosa the contract which she signed in front of a notary. It turns out Rosa never read the small print. Prospi and Rosa are taking her to court!. (Sure) They go to see Paloma at the cantina who starts to read over the contract to see if there is any evidence of fraud or lack of good will. In the meantime, Dante  brings Aurora to the store where Deb hires her. 

-Looks like Bruno is interested in Bea but it  looks like she is only interested in having him as a work buddy. (Yay!)

-Brandon is no longer going to the USA but is still stuck on Dulce.  Mateo has found a robotics competition for him enter. Brandon asks Mateo to help find his father. 

-Cornelio tells his father that he knew what was going on at the hacienda because he knew Victorio. He also tells him that when the attempt on Amado's life was made, it was he who was the target. He is also  sure that Pedro was behind the hit. Modesto asks how he knew Victorio but Cornelio never answers. Modesto warns Cornelio that defamation is a crime. Cornelio says it is true. Modesto remembers Pedro threatening to kill him. Cornelio says there is no proof now  because the guy who shot him was found tortured and dead in a ravine. Police said it was gangs settling scores but that remains to be  seen. 

-Juli is like an 8th grade girl who keeps  trying to prove she is the queen bee.  She visits Sara to make sure that she knows that she ended up with Juan and not her and knows how bad that must make her feel. Sara says she gave up Juan and cannot see Juli forcing herself on him when it is clear that he doesn't love her. Juli  breaks the flow of office documents by cutting Sara out of the process so Sara won't pass anything directly to Juan. Sara has to remind her that she is an owner of the company and she wants it the way it was.  Later, Juli tries to stick it to Pedro  after he has hallucinated seeing his mother in his mirror and has broken it. She tells him that he has so much resentment that he is going to end up broken like that mirror. He says if she doesn't get married ASAP, it is SHE who will end up on the trash heap and forcibly escorts her from his room.  Funny, but earlier, she and Pedro shook hands on the fact that they both were getting what they wanted. 

Sal thinks back when he asked Irma if Paloma was his daughter. She said he was but he didn't believe her and asked her again. We never hear her second  answer. Sal still has his doubts but is afraid to find out the truth. 

-Jessica is still sitting doing NOTHING at her parents' home as her husband is working hard trying to earn a living. (Has she ever heard of moving her butt and getting a JOB??? ) (Maybe I shouldn't say she is  doing nothing because) she did stick her nose into her parents' marriage AGAIN when her parents went to see Paloma by mentioning  her father's infidelity one more time. Anyway, Brayan  would love to have a baby. She tells him that until they have a decent standard of living that will not be happening. He now thinks that they made a mistake getting married. They are definitely from two different worlds. He is desperate and goes to Avocado Central to ask Juan for a raise but, unfortunately, he runs into Pedro who tells him that Juan is unavailable. Pedro laughs in his face when Brayan asks for a raise.  He also finds out that the land his mother's house is located on is going to be annexed to the rest of the Del Monte property and soon  will be gone. Pedro cannot understand why he didn't see that coming. Later at Modesto's homecoming, Brayan  goes off to talk to Sara but we do not know what he talked to her about. 

-Sara continues to give Juan the hard time he deserves. He wants to suddenly stop the war that is going on with her contesting the will. She asks him what he is willing to give her to stop it. Well, he is willing to reach an agreement and they start arguing about what they said and didn't say from the start.  She tells him she doesn't just want the money now but she wants it ALL. He calls her ambitious like that is a bad thing??  She says he can call her "Sara La Ambiciosa" (Sara the Ambitious One) She also wants to share his office.  As a a member of the board she is entitled to any office just like he is.  Juan tells her that is a no-go.  He clearly is aggravated.

-Dante looks at images of Pedro torturing Victorio. He concludes that "Perros no comen perros" (Dogs don't eat dogs);  in other words: "There is honor among thieves." 

-Modesto has a joyous homecoming  complete with an original song from Tadeo. Juan has invited the staff to dinner in honor of Modesto.  Deb comments that the group seated at the table is like a scene out of (Luis) Buñuel movie. Suddenly, Agustín starts talking about buñuelos.  Modesto talks about the great friendship he had with Severiano. He admits that he has been criticized for being Severiano's  go between with his ladies, but he never could never betray him  as he knows Severiano would never betray him. 

-Dante is talking to somebody on the phone  He asks how much Juan has defrauded the company for. He finds out it is quite a large amount. He then asks who  "Campo Verde" (company) belongs to. He finds out that the owner is Pedro. He mutters to himself that little Pedro  thinks he is cunning but he is not as cunning  as he is. (I would place my bets on Dante. )
