Caray, Caray!

My video started with a conversation between Sal, Adela and Cornelio, if I missed something from before, feel free to add it in the comments.

Cornelio’s redemption tour includes snitching on Deb (couldn’t happen to a better person): he tells Sal and Adela that Deb paid the guys who ruffled up Simon. Adela calls Deb a monster, how can she be Sara’s mother? Sal urges her to take care, begs Corni to stop making locuras. Bryan arrives to say he doesn’t want to work at the ranch anymore, can he have a job as a waiter with Sal?

Adela asks him why he wants to change jobs, Bryan lies that he wants to focus on his studies more and wants Adela to stop working at the ranch, too. The place is dangerous, there was that attack (that everyone forgot about already) and besides, she will be able to open her flower shop soon. Adela notices that Bryan is very nervous, asks him if his wife knows about his plans. Bryan says yes, and he also plans to come back home – if his wife won’t follow him, then they are over.

Rosa, Prospi and Paloma have managed to close the boutique, to Deb’s dismay. Paloma has obtained a judge order that says the shop will stay closed the time the ownership situation is unresolved. Deb insults Paloma, threatens her, then Rosa and Prospi, she is very upset. After Deb leaves, Paloma advices them not to talk to her again, she can be dangerous.

Sara and Simon work on solving their latest crisis. Juan asks Sara to answer some calls, too, he’s busy trying to reach Dante, who has been avoiding his calls so far (he’s in his hotel room, drinking with Pedro). When he finally gets one of his calls, Dante tells Juan that he had a family emergency involving his son, so Juan tells him to deal with that first, and then come to the office.

Dante asks Pedro about Campo Verde, and Pedro admits this is payback for Juan’s humiliation. Dante warns Pedro that Juan is very alert right now, Pedro asks him about his loyalty. Dante insists this is not a good moment to move forward with his plans, Pedro calls him a coward when it comes to going against Juan. He wants to get everything, not only the President chair, he wants to merge his own company with Avocados RUS. He instructs Dante to tell Juan that the Campo Verde owner is some foreign business man with offices in New York, someone unreachable; he will get him the right names and information to sustain this lie. Dante is reluctant to obey, so Pedro starts recording a message for Juan, telling him that Dante killed Henry and brought Aurora back into their lives. Should he send the message or not?

At breakfast, Mateo asks Juli to stop bothering his novia. Juli doesn’t care about this, comes close to him, as Mateo asks her to stay away. Modesto arrives to interrupt, Mateo asks for a shirt, Modesto left his in Pedro’s room by mistake. He’ll go fetch one. When Mateo is gone, Juli warns Modesto to call her Senora Julieta (no more tutear the lady of the house).

Sara and Juan get out of their offices and bump into one another like only novella characters can, getting into a close hug, and starting to smell each other and gaze … Close-up of their lips and eyes… Bea interrupts… sort of, Sara and Juan are still closely together, whispering about what they need to do next, Juan helps Sara grab a folder that fell… It’s a whole thing, and all the employees downstairs are checking them out. Working for Avocados RUS must be a hoot!

Mateo searches for his shirt in Pedro’s drawer and stumbles upon Severianito’s DNA test. The plot thickens…

Julieta tells Modesto she wants to modify her room and have a honeymoon. And Modesto will have to help her, he has a lot of influence on Juan. Modesto doesn’t think he can have more power than her, Juli says that she respects him a lot and would like him to be on her side. Modesto answers that he will always side with reason, Juli confronts him about the fact that he preferred Sara as a wife for Juan; if he will help her have a good relationship with Juan, she will help him in return.

Bryan is working at the Bar. He tells Sal he doesn’t want Adela to work at the ranch anymore. They both agree that Adela is one of a kind and Sal would like nothing more than for her to realize she can lean on him. Bryan says he can protect his mom, but Sal points out that he’s a young, married man, he has his own family; and his mom deserves to have a good life, too, that’s why Sal wants to marry her. Bryan asks Sal to help him convince Adela to stop working at the ranch.

At the company, Pedro arrives and runs into Lucas, who was called by Juan to help out. Pedro says he was in the fields, checking on the workers, and realized that Bryan is doing a crappy job. They both go to Juan’s office, who is on a call with a client. He wants to know where Pedro has been, Pedro gives the same explanation he gave Lucas. Juan asks if he’s ever heard about Campo Verde.

Pedro has never heard this name, Juan explains him that they are losing a lot of clients because of this new company. Pedro offers to investigate them, Juan tells him Simon and Sara are already doing this. Pedro is upset Juan might suggest he’s not pulling his weight around the company, he states he’s been doing all of Julieta’s work, too, since she’s been gone. Lucas tries to calm them, he couldn’t find anything online about Campo Verde, either. Juan asks him to set up a meeting, Lucas is happy with the opportunity to be his assistant for the day (huh, isn’t he still one of the owners technically?). Pedro rolls his eyes at the scene

Julieta is still at the table, when Mateo comes to confront her about Pedro having her DNA analysis. Because Modesto is there, too, she starts whining that Mateo is harassing her, hurting the baby in the process, and Modesto takes her side. But Mateo won’t cave, he calls her a liar, reminds her that they made love before Juan’s marriage proposal. Julieta gets mad, starts screaming, calling him a drunk, Modesto defends Mateo… and Deb witnesses the whole thing.

She slow claps, suggesting that it almost looks like the couple who just got married are Julieta and Mateo. Mateo walks out, Juli asks Modesto to escort her to her room. Deb suggests Juli to take care with the stairs, they’ve become very dangerous lately. Juli send her to Hell, Deb says she’s been there and the Devil says Hello. Then she asks Modesto to serve her lunch, he says Adela can help fix her some tea for her nerves.

Alone, Deb wonders out loud what could be the deal between the drunk and the embarasada.

Simon and Sara work on Campo Verde offering very good deals to several of their long time clients. Lucas interrupts to let them know they are supposed to get ready for a meeting later on. He asks Sara to talk in private for a moment, Simon would like the same thing.

Alone again, Simon tells Sara they have a very strong client portfolio. She is afraid more of them might find out about the deals Campo Verde is offering – they might lose millions! Simon is afraid the harmony between the avocado producers in the region might also be broken.

Sara thinks they have enough information to be able to draw some general conclusions about the battle in front of them. Simon says she looked very good in her new office. Sara is surprised by the kind words, Simon reassures her he doesn’t mean anything bad, just like he meant nothing bad when he almost ran over her mother in the street. But Sara knows who she’s dealing with, so she asks what really happened. She won’t accept any more insults toward her or her mother. She’s surprised Deb didn’t tell her about it, Simon says she didn’t because she was to be blamed, she was crossing the street and didn’t pay attention. She even refused his suggestion to take her to the hospital.

Before Sara can leave, Simon says he just sent her an e-mail about his proposal on how to increase their employees trust in the company. Sara is impressed, she thought he’d never send her that information, but Simon reassures her that ever since she first mentioned the wage disparities within the company, he has been working on a proposal. They can both look over it with Juan, but his recommendation is to focus on single mothers and pregnant women. As Simon says these words, Sara touches her belly, she’s very happy with what he’s saying.

I was already doubting his honesty because of his mention of the “accident” with Deb, but as soon as Sara is gone, his face turns to that of the maniac we have come to love to hate.

At home Rosa thinks she should have fought with Deb, that loud mouth, but Prospi stopped her. She screams for Jess and Bertha, proving that she's as loud as Deb. Prospi begs her to stop fighting with that woman, plans to go talk to Juan about a loan. Rosa would like to go with, therapy says they need to spend a lot of time together. Prospi would rather do this alone, being independent is also important. But Rosa insist, and Prospi caves.

Julieta is in her bed, with Modesto asking her to keep calm. But she can’t deal with Mateo’s accusations anymore. Modesto wonders why would Pedro have those analysis, Julieta has no clue, considering the strange relationship between Juan and Pedro, who knows.

When she is left alone, Julieta calls Pedro to warn him that Mateo found the DNA proof… he needs to come up with a plan so Mateo doesn’t tell Juan.

Lucas comes to tell Pedro the meeting is starting, Pedro is rude, finds out Juan is in a meeting with Dante.

In Juan’s office, Dante is very “grateful” Juan allowed him to deal with his family emergency. Juan thinks he looks tired, maybe he should take some time off, but Dante simply can’t, there are too many problems right now. They go to their meeting.

Downstairs they meet up with Pedro and together they run into Cornelio, who has come to talk to Pedro. But Pedro is very dismissive, Corni says they will always have Tadeo is common. And he wants to talk peacefully. Juan asks Pedro to talk to Corni, but he simply won’t. Bea sees Corni, too, Sara reminds him there is a restriction order against him. Juan tells Corni to wait in his office the time they finish their meeting, he will talk to Pedro after.

Deb receives a bottle of champagne… the note says “for their best moments together”… apparently it’s from Dante.

In the meeting they talk about having already lost 10 clients, 6 of which are very important. Dante says that Campo Verde has foreign ownership… and Pedro knows the name of the owner. Juan reminds Pedro he just asked him if he knew about this company, so which way is it? Sara, Simon, Mateo and Lucas are waiting for an answer, too.

Pedro says he can’t remember who it is, but Dante can. Isidro Mendizabal, Dante says, and Pedro admits having met him the day of the congress. Sara should remember him, too. But Sara can’t, Pedro explains he’s a rich guy who just arrived in the country. Lucas can’t find him online, either, Dante explains he’s someone who keeps a very low profile, a nouveau riche who amassed a huge fortune recently. Juan tells them all they have to work as a team, not allow this new guy to ruin their father’s life work. He includes Mateo and Lucas in the conversation, too, even if they gave up on their inheritance, they are still members of the board. Sara is very optimistic, Pedro pretends to be all in, too.

Brandon is doing an online search of his father, thinks that he might have found him. He checks a picture he has of him, recognizes the man is the same as the one on the Internet page, he starts sobbing. Augustin finds him and Brandon hugs his Abuelo, telling him his dad has another family.

Augustin tries to comfort him, his father was a canalia! Brandon wants to contact him, he wishes he was dead. Augie disapproves of such behavior, he can never wish someone dead, especially not his father! Brandon is furious the guy has a new family, so Augie advices him to be happy with what he has. If what he lacks is a father figure, look at how much Patron Mateo has been there for him. And never forget that he has the best mother in the world.

Deb takes her bottle to the room. She remembers about a moment in the past when Dante asked her to stop drinking so much and to stop her feud with Rosa, too. Deb doesn’t want to hear any of it, what she wants is for Dante to give her the money she is owed. He’s become a millionaire thanks to her and her Saris, that’s how he can support his mediocre family. Dante can’t stand her badmouthing his family, he slaps her so hard, she drops the glass of wine she was holding. He also warns her she is making too many enemies, but he is the most dangerous one.

Back to the present, Deb says that she won’t forgive his slap with a bottle of wine. She places the bottle on the bed… she will still drink it, though, it’s been years since he’s offered her something this expensive. I have to ask… is there any rat poison in this bottle?

Pedro talks with Corni in Juan’s office. He mocks him, Juan asks him to stop, then leaves them alone. Corni talks about how they used to be the best of friends, it’s very hard for him to talk to the man who destroyed his family. Pedro rightfully points out that he didn’t destroy anything, Bea was sick of Corni’s bad treatments. Corni accepts his mistakes, but he’s come to talk about Tadeo, he doesn’t want his son to go back to Santa Catalina, he’s in danger there. Pedro assures Corni Deb will never touch his son, and he will protect him. Corni reminds Pedro he still doesn’t have full custody, so he will take care of his son. When Corni mentions how Pedro wanted to kill him, Pedro says he has no proof.

Rosa and Propsi arrive at Avocados RUS. They are both giggly, he says he has a surprise for her, they kiss.

They talk to Juan about losing their boutique… for now. They are looking for an investor, they need a loan. Things would go smoother if only one of them talked, but they keep interrupting each other, to Juan’s confusion. You marry a woman, you marry her entire family, am I right?

 Bertha checks Prospi’s clothes, they are very expensive.

Deb feels dizzy all of a sudden, takes her hand to her neck, can’t breathe… foam is coming out of her mouth as she drops to the floor.  Julieta comes to talk to her and sees her in this state. She runs screaming downstairs, saying that Deb is dying. Adela and Modesto find her on the floor, unconscious, they call an ambulance.

Bea is worried Corni and Pedro might kill one another. Sara tries to calm her, but she also has to deal with the company crisis. Lucas wonders if they will have to enforce layoffs.

Sara gets a call from Adela telling her that her mom got sick and she was taken to the hospital. Simon is all ears, as Adela says on the phone that the doctors’ first prognosis was that she was poisoned. When Sara repeats the words in shock, Simon looks surprised, too. But is he really?
