Caray, Caray!

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

The was such an entertaining episode with all of the dysfunction of the DelMonte family and others in full bloom. 

THE MAIN EVENT: 

Pedro has invited Aurora to come to the hacienda to close their deal. He tells her she doesn't have to worry about Juan because he will come out and let her in. Dante will be there along with a notary. Pedro likes things done "legally." Later, Pedro tells Dante to meet them "he knows where" at the hacienda. Pedro plans to find out which of Aurora's instincts is stronger: "to eat or to live" which is the same line she used on him when offering him some bread topped with rat poison. That night, Aurora enters the barn AKA torture central with Aurora wondering why Pedro didn't want to do business in the house. Dante advises her  not to ask so many questions but thinks that  Pedro didn't want to risk Juan seeing her. The notary is coming with Pedro (sure). She is happy that things  are turning out better than expected. Dane chuckles and agrees. Pedro arrives but Aurora notices that there is no notary with him. There are no papers for her to sign. She tells them she knew this was a trap and pulls a gun on them.  Pedro assures her that the notary and the papers are coming. She calls him a liar and a coward just like his father who  abandoned her with him and Juan in her arms. Pedro tells her to shut up. Her finger is on the trigger when somebody appears at the top of the staircase behind Pedro but is seen by no one.  Pedro has gotten close to Aurora who is accusing him of always being a traitor especially with Juan. He took Juan's bread to feed himself when there was no food. Pedro tells her to shoot him and kill him. He knows she wanted to since he was a child. Dante tries to calm  her down and have her lower the gun by showing her papers in his briefcase. Everything is in order. She makes the mistake of grabbing some papers and glancing at them.  Pedro is on her in a second. Dante give him a cloth with chloroform and she soon loses consciousness. Pedro tells Dante to leave. Dante asks  him what is he going to do. Pedro tells him to leave a second time and not to ask stupid questions. We see that it was Modesto standing on the stairs as he quickly leaves. Pedro drags the unconscious Aurora into his special room.  

EVERYTHING ELSE: 

-Deb is dreaming of a woman saying she wants to talk to her. Later, she opens her eyes and she is back among the living! (looking fully made up and as good as ever)

-Juan tells Simón that their mother is back. He signed over his share of the refuge to her in an attempt to have her leave Pedro alone. He is afraid of what Pedro might do. Simón asks if he would be capable of . . . (Maybe killing her??? is implied)  Juan doesn't want to find out. Juan knows that she cannot sell her share but he says that she doesn't know that. Simón tells Juan that Sara has taken Pedro's place as VP while he recently has been away from  company business. She has done a good job. If he only didn't hate her so much . . . Juan cannot believe that he still hates her. 

-Juan asks Simón to arrange a memorial mass for Severiano. Simón has no time. BTW, Juan wants to hear what really happened the day of the accident because Agustín said he saw Simón running from the SUV.  Did he leave their dad to die??? Sara saves Simón by interrupting  the conversation and quickly fainting into Juan's arms. Juan revives her when Bea brings some smelling salts.   Sara says she is fine. She doesn't want the doctor. (Dr.) Bea plays along saying the nausea and fainting are from all of the stress in her  life that probably gave her a case of gastritis. Sara readily agrees. Alone in her office, Sara admits to Bea she is pregnant. Bea tells her she won't be able to hide that fact much longer.  Lucas comes in exasperated and tells Bea and Sara all about the cruel things that Pedro said to Mateo. Bea tells her that is who the REAL Pedro is. That seems to give Sara pause. She will talk to him later. 

-Juli asks a ranch hand Patrocinio to see a certain horse that nobody, not even Mateo , has been able to tame. 

-Berta finds a receipt for a bottle of wine after reading on line that Deb was poisoned by a bottle of wine.  She tries to hide it from Rosa but Rosa makes her hand it over. Rosa is all excited. The wine must be the surprise that Prospi has been promising her.  Berta has to remind her that Deb was poisoned via a bottle of wine. Rosa insists it would be impossible for Prospi to poison a mosquito . Berta thinks it would be different if it were a person threatening to destroy his family. Berta was not able to find the bottle he bought. If Deb were to die, they could take the fabric store away Rosa!! 

-Jessica appears and talks about getting a divorce.  Rosa asks her not to do that. Jessica sees no way out.  Rosa asks her to think about it; to reconsider. She does her own riff on Ruth from the Old Testament: His people will be your people, his house will be your house . . . Jessica insists that  she will not live with the Cruz family again. Rosa tells her to pack up her things because  Rosa is ready to deliver her to the Cruz family for her own good. (of course!!) 

-BEST COMEDY OF THE NIGHT: That same night, Rosa explains that Jessica is the one who got married and got herself into this mess.  She puts the old headscarf (I would say babushka) on her head to make her look more like a pathetic victim for when she she arrives at the Cruz house. Rosa says none of her daughters will suffer the dishonor of a husband leaving her. Jessica insists that she is not going.  Brayan is cheating on her. She turns around to go back to her room when Rosa takes off the LEGENDARY CHANCLA (flip flop).  We hear it whoosh through the air and it hits Jessica square in the back of her head. Berta is shocked!!!  Rosa says that is  how her mother, may she rest in peace, raised her. She tells Jessica she is going either the easy way or the hard way. Berta criticizes Rosa for using her chancla. Rosa says nothing else has worked and it really wasn't a very hard  "chanclazo" but more of a "zapatazo" (a hit with a shoe) Prospi arrives and Jessica runs to her father saying that the chancla  hit her so hard it  nearly broke her neck.   Prospi asks Rosa  why  she did it. Rosa says that is how she was brought up and  makes a point of the excellent person she grew up to be. She commandeers Prospi to assist her in delivering Jessica to her husband at the Cruz house. 

-At the cantina, Cornelio brings back the bottle of wine that he "borrowed"  from Sal. ???? (Hope it is still unopened)  Cornelio tells Prospi the story of the scar on his face and how Deb  is paying for  it now. He hopes she is paid back in triple for all of the evil she has done. 

-Lucas explains to Juan he was late because Mateo was very upset. Pedro was telling  all sort of crazy things to Mateo like  their parents never loved him like the rest of them, etc.  Juan tries to call Pedro but there is no answer. Juan goes to  find him. Lucas warns him  about getting into a fight with Pedro let alone here at the company. Juan says he will protect his brothers. Lucas agrees that is what he says but that hasn't changed anything with Pedro who has been very strange as of late. 

-Juan confronts Pedro about what he said to Mateo about their parents not loving him because he was an alcoholic. Pedro blame it all on gossipy Lucas. Juan also asks about him warning Lucas from getting involved with Sara. Pedro makes it clear he doesn't want any of the brothers around Sara except for him. Juan doesn't want Pedro doing any more damage to Mateo or to any of their brothers.  

-Sal talks with Dulce about Brandon. She has a photo on her phone of Mati with that backpack. She will send it  to him. Paloma is able to prove Brandon's innocence with the photo. The commander says they still have to prove that the photo is authentic. Mati finally confesses and Brandon is freed without any charges.  Mati confesses that she did it out of jealousy. 

-Juan starts to eat a cookie and then has a realization of what could be happening when he has time to think about Sara fainting and then remembering their lovemaking. He nervously just keeps eating that cookie (and maybe a lot more) as he considers the possibility. 

-Sara wants to talk to Pedro. Sorry, he has to meet with Mr. Villanueva TODAY.  They go through the niceties of asking how she and her mother are doing. Sara insists on  telling him what she must whatever the case is with Mr. Villanueva: they need to put some distance between them. Pedro insists she is the only woman he has ever loved besides his mother Catalina and he has no plans of losing her. She says she decided to give it a chance with him but things have happened that have changed everything. He accuses her of still being in love with Juan. She tells him he cannot force her to feel things for him that she doesn't. His message is that he loves her and she will love him sooner or later.  He walks out on  her.

 -Lucas asks Pedro for some reports that Juan requested and Pedro punches him in the  face for gossiping about him to Juan. Juan finally appears on the scene to stop him. Juan easily grabs Pedro and nearly twists his arm  out of the socket with the warning not to touch Lucas again. Another day,  another show at Avocado Central!  Sara tells Juan that Pedro is furious because she clarified a few things with him. Juan tells her that he loves her and that will never change. They try not to  . . . but end up kissing in plain view in his office.  Another day, another show at Avocado Central!!! A double feature!

-Simón comes home only to find that Paloma is not there but is helping the Cruz family at  the police station. He is put out that she didn't let him know what she was doing AGAIN. Juli taunts him saying he probably was the one who poisoned Deb. BTW, his wife discovered that the he was looking up anti-depressives on his laptop. That could cause somebody to go into a coma. Simón says he thought that her poison would have lessened with her pregnancy but she is still a harpy. Juli would rather be a harpy than a murderer. Simón says that she is defaming him and that could really cost her. Juli says she is only repeating what she heard. Modesto asks:  Who is she to slander Simón?? Wasn't it enough to destroy Mateo??? She gets on his case for calling her "tú." Modesto tells her she has become unbearable. Simón  says she always was but fooled them. She tells them if they do not support her, they can both get out of the house. Mateo appears wanting to talk to her without arguing. 

-Mateo talks to Juli. Bottom line: He says he is ready to move on. He knows that the  baby she is not his.  Juli doesn't want to discuss anything about the baby. She doesn't care what Mateo does. The baby will be his nephew!!! She wants the DNA test results back  He says he burned them but he really has them in a drawer.  He thinks about finding out the truth  at the lab itself.

-Sal is about to leave Adela and her family at their home. Adela says he can stay because he acted so much like a father. They all tell Brandon that he should have learned some valuable lessons from his experience. Brandon tells Agustín that he will no longer be looking for his dad because he found a father in Sal. 

-As soon as Juan and Sara arrive at the house, Juli is all over him making her  "ownership" of Juan apparent.  Later, Sara is  going to her room and Juan meets her in the hall saying he wants to explain a few things to her. She says there is nothing to explain because he and Juli are married.  Juli appears telling her to not bother Juan because he is a married man. Juli objects to Juan taking to Sara alone but  Juan insists.  He will meet her in the office.  In her room, Sara wonders what to do. At times like this, she really needs her mother. On his way to the office, Juan is looking for Modesto and cannot find him because unbeknownst to him he is spying  at torture central. Sara appears in the office telling Juan he is right. They need to talk.
