Caray, Caray!

Sara thinks Pedro is making up the affair between Deb and Dante, and when he says Aurora told him, she is even more certain it’s not true. Pedro thinks she should investigate the matter, because it could hurt them all, but Sara insists they are only friends. Pedro reminds her Deb’s long string of lovers, Dante could be one of them. But defending Deb is where she’s an expert.

Mateo reads the DNA test several times and then says that Juli’s kid is not Juan’s, it must mean it’s his. He wants to go tell Juan immediately, but Julieta Baby warns him that this could hurt Juan, Juli has to be the one to admit the truth.

Juan refuses to believe Pedro is an assassin, but Corni insists, even if he doesn’t have the proof. Juan think his resentment is making him say these things, Corni realizes Juan is defending his brother like he has always done, but Pedro is a monster! Bryan tells Corni to calm down, then Modesto says he was aware of it, too, but had to keep quiet to avoid even more conflict.

Rosa wants to set things straight with Adela, about something confusing that happened in the past. Adela reminds Rosa she accused her of being a thief in front of Catalina and we get a flashback of her doing just that. So Catalina asks Adela point blank if she’s done this (young Pedro is listening from behind a door, smiling mischievously). Back to the present, Rosa says she actually defended her and years later Catalina told her that it was Pedro who had actually taken that money. Adela is reluctant to trust her, she still believes Rosa made Cata ban her from the ranch. Rosa apologizes in French (her version of the language, of course), wants to let bygones be bygones. They need to stick together now, and Adela can help her with something very important: her letters to Sev that Deb now has. Adela is impactada.

Rosa has to insist a bit with Adela, saying it all happened because she was having a fight with Prospi. Adela wants to know if Don Sev really loved her and Rosa says he was like a wild horse, chasing after her, always following her and wanting to seduce her. But she never caved, she just wrote about her feelings in those letters. Funniest scene of the night!

Alondra and Lucas come in arguing about Alondra’s jealousy. Rosa intervenes to tell them to stop fighting like Jess and the chacalo… she stops herself on time because she is trying to make nice with Adela, but she isn’t fooling anyone. Adela urges her to leave, actually takes her outside, doesn’t think that Rosa should meddle in another situation.

Pedro is alone in his office, takes a stroll down memory lane. First he thinks about the moment Aurora told him that Deb and Dante are lovers. And how she also gave him her part of the refugio. Back to the present he says out loud that everything will be his. Then he remembers the several people he tortured in his secret place (his mother and Bryan included), and he flashes back to a conversation he and Juan had with Sev about never selling the refugio or altering it in any way. Pedro thinks if they use the land they could increase their profit, Sev points out that no amount of money is ever enough for Pedro – at some point in life one has to start enjoying the spiritual things and place them above the material (says the millionaire). Juan agrees. In the present Pedro says that he will start using the lands for Campo Verde, his secret company.

Juan storms in asking him directly if he tried to kill Corni. So smooth! Pedro calls Juan crazy, how can he trust Corni, an abuser, over him? Does he truly believe he’s an assassin? Juan reminds him he stole from the company, so Pedro dares him to tell everyone the truth, throw him in jail even, if that’s what he wants. He adds that he should have allowed that woman to kill him when he was a child because he is now ashamed of him. Juan says he could give his life for him, but he’s no fool.

Pedro says they were together the day of the shooting and they also had Tadeo with them, he’d never jeopardize his son’s life. What about the money he stole? Pedro calls it a business error, he trusted the wrong people, he tried to prove to his father he knew how to turn a profit, too, but Sev blamed him of being a thief. He never stood a chance, Sev had already made up his mind about making Juan CEO, even if he’d promised Pedro the position, too. Juan calls him a liar, asks where that money is now. Pedro says most of it was lost, but the remaining part is safe, in an account, maybe Sev or Dante should have mentioned it. Juan says he plans to talk to Dante again.

Bea tells Sara that Licenciada Julieta is at the company, but notices that she’s not doing great, so Sara tells her about Deb and Dante. Julieta arrives and demands Bea to leave the office so she can speak to Sara. Sara doesn’t like her tone, Juli apologizes, says she is still under the shock of what happened in the morning. She found out Sara is leaving the ranch, Sara makes it clear it’s not for her. Juli adds that she will be invited to her baby shower, it will be a pleasure to have her attend. After Juli leaves, Sara is actually relieved she’s going away soon.

Lucas realized Alondra didn’t want to be with him for his therapy, Alondra asks him to call Sara next time he needs company. Lucas is fed up with the accusations, she is his girlfriend, not Sara, and she was the one who said she wanted to be with him through this. Who is putting ideas in her head? Is it Julieta? Alondra says no, but Lucas is certain, and he feels like they are losing their connection; he would have never left her alone, had she been in need of his help.

Juan comes to check up on Sara, after the day she had she should be resting. Sara assures him she’s fine, she went to see her doctor when she visited Deb. As she caresses her belly again, Juan smiles from ear to ear and starts talking about their connection and how he realized ever since their first date in town that they both love literature and using their words… Wasn’t that the time they ran into Julieta and Mateo and created a scene at a restaurant? When did they have the time to talk about literature?

I don’t get the reference at all, but then it becomes clear, when Juan reads to Sara a poem he wrote for her. Are these people for real? When in the world did Juan del Monte have the time to scribble on a piece of paper? Two babies on the way, all his brothers are or should be in therapy, his company is in crisis and he has the time to write poems for his baby momma? (not to be mistaken with the wife, which I forgot to add to his long list of problems).

The words are a dedication to their son, a long metaphor about seeds and planting and land… I don’t know, I didn’t really get it, no hablo Spanish that well, I’m a simple mind, I guess I can’t connect through the words like they can (Literature major here!). But Sara is so impressed, she starts kissing him, who would have known poetry could get you this far? Page all the nerds, all hope is not lost!

But then Sara pushes him away, apologizes for her outburst. Juan says their love doesn’t have to be forbidden, she has to allow him to prove the kind of father he can be. Sara gets a text letting her know she has to go fetch Deb, so they have to cut their moment short.

It’s night time. Sara and Dante have brought Deb to the apartment, but Deb wants to go back to the ranch. Sara says they can’t stay there anymore, because she is giving up her inheritance. Also, she is having a baby with Juan, too, and there is no more place for an expensive crib in the living room. No, she doesn’t actually say this, but she might as well, because Dante and Deb probably stopped listening after she mentioned giving up all that money.

Dante says goodbye, after reminding them the cops are coming the next day to take Deb’s declaration – they should refrain from talking if he’s not arrived yet.

When Dante is gone, Deb asks Sara to explain her better her decision. Sara repeats she is going to be a mother. But Deb thinks this means she deserves double the money, or has Juan rejected the baby? Sara explains she is the one who decided to leave, she thinks Deb is just too much, so she decides to ask how long she has been Dante’s lover.

At the company, Mateo comes to talk to Julieta, he offers his help to convince Juan to take her on a honeymoon. Julieta thinks it’s not the right time, Juan is very busy now and Sev’s birthday commemoration is approaching. Mateo says he only wants to stop the fighting between them, he also decided to start doing Bryan’s job. Julieta says he is the patron, but Mateo doesn’t care about that. He asks if the baby is doing OK, then wonders if he can touch the belly. Julieta reluctantly agrees and Mateo kneels to tell Severianito that everyone loves him and is looking forward to meet him. Juan witnesses the scene and asks if everything is OK.

Mateo explains he just wanted to talk to the baby, and Juan is not upset, he likes the fact that Mateo is getting close to his nephew. Julieta also adds they’ve been talking about their honeymoon and Mateo explains he wants to take Bryan’s place, they need to have someone in charge of the farm work. Juan realizes he had so many thing on his mind earlier, he didn’t even think about talking to Bryan (luckily, he has time for poetry, it’s all about the priorities!)

Julieta Baby arrives to see Mateo and Julieta invites her to the baby shower. Mateo asks if he could come, too.

Rosa is doing her vow renewal invitation list (and there is the Corcuera family, who are always mentioned in novela land when rich people plan invitation lists, but we never get to meet them – must be the Kennedys of Mexico).

Bertha brings her some tea and warns her that she will soon stop working for her because she is about to get married to Modesto. Isn’t he a bit long in the tooth, Rosa asks? Besides, shouldn’t they date for a couple of years first, marry some five years later? Bertha insists it’s the right moment, Rosa realizes she will have to find someone else to help her find the letters. Bertha tries to shut her up, because Prospi just showed up behind them, but Rosa mentions the letters again.

They try to fool Prospi by saying that the letters belong to Bertha, who left them in Santa Catalina. Since she is now getting married to Modesto, she has to get them back, because they would prove she’s a descarada. Haha! Prospi asks more questions, Rosa continues to spin her lies, saying the letters are placed in a cheap box and she knows that because Bertha showed them to her once, because they are good friends and she knows all of Bertha’s secrets. The two women hug, Prospi offers to go to Santa Catalina to fetch them. Oh, no, both women scream!

Sara tells Deb Pedro told her about Dante. Deb calls him a liar, he’s just saying this to harm her, but Sara doubting her is very hurtful, especially after this brush with death. Sara replies that she is hurt, too, because of her mom always getting involved with married men. Deb resents the accusations, she is a free woman, if she is Dante’s lover that’s her problem. And Sara can think whatever she wants! How can she believe Pedro over her, and how can she care more about being Dante’s lover than whoever killed her. Sara apologies, Deb calls Pedro a vile man and Juan is no better, he will never give Sara any of the things that she deserves, like divorcing Julieta. She needs to go fight for her inheritance! Sara says no, she even stopped the will contestation. Deb can’t believe Sara gave up after having gained so much terrain, but Sara cares more about her peace of mind and her baby.

Then she asks Deb if she remembers what happened and Deb flashes back to the moment she assumed Dante sent her the bottle. She is sure it was Dante, but she doesn’t say it, she accuses Prospero instead, could he have been capable of this?

Corni and Bryan talk about Pedro being very dangerous, they have to find a way to fight this guy. Sal asks Bryan to go back to work, urges Corni to stop causing problems, for his dad’s sake. Sal is waiting for Paloma to arrive, thinks that maybe Simon didn’t allow her to come. Paloma arrives in a hurry, she can only stay to sing, Simon doesn’t know she’s here. Sal doesn’t like this.

Rosa asks Prospi if she can take some money from the Juan’s loan to organize the baby shower. Prospi reminds her their trial hasn’t even started yet and they need that money for their textile factory, but Rosa insists. Their daughters arrive and Rosa goes to hug Julieta, tells her the baby shower is as good as ready, they will have an avocado theme (wonder where they could find the decoration… oh, wait, the ranch is already an avocado themed art exhibit). Jess is unhappy her mom keeps ignoring her, Rosa explains she spent a lot of time talking with Adela today, that’s why she wasn’t around. Julieta gives everyone the good news that Sara finally left the ranch and gave up the inheritance. But Deb is awake and might convince her to go back.

Simon wants to eat, asks Adela to go get Paloma. Then Lucas comes down and tells him Alondra is jealous of Sara, he’s sure Julieta filled her head with ideas. But he’s doing well in therapy. Adela comes back to say that Paloma is not home. Simon is displeased.

Now in her bed, Deb says she can only think of Prospero as the person who could have done this to her, especially after their fighting over the boutique and the wording of the note. Sara urges her not to accuse someone who is innocent, they absolutely need to find out the truth, but they need to be sure!

Someone calls the door, so Sara leaves her mother alone. It’s Juan, who instead of hello says he can’t live without her and their son. He can’t lose her, and he knows she loves him, too. He asks if she plans to leave the company, too, but Sara doesn’t want to, unless they don’t need her anymore. Juan says they will always need her at the company and goes in for another kiss, but is interrupted by the doorbell. This time it’s Pedro, Juan tells him he just came to see if Sara or Deb needed anything. Sara asks them not to fight here, Pedro asks to see Deb, just for a moment. Sara takes him to her mom’s room. Pedro pretends to be happy Deb is out of the hospital, thinks Sara should go be with Juan, he’s all alone downstairs (how considerate of him).

When they are alone, Deb calls him a desgraciado mentiroso, how could he tell Sara about her and Dante? But Pedro is done playing, he wants to know how she managed to lie to his father about Sara for so many years.

Corni introduces Bea and Paloma to the bar clients. The girls show up on stage and invite Dulce to sing with them.

The Milan family is having tea, Bertha is touched by such a beautiful family portrait. But Prospi is not in a good mood, he’s afraid of Deb’s actions now that she’s awake. Rosa thinks when she finds out Sara gave up on everything she will go back into a coma. But Prospi looks very concerned.

Back with Juan, Sara assures him she doesn’t want to keep him away from their child, but Juan is afraid she will do just that. The baby will know he is his father, but she wants to raise him away from Santa Catalina. Juan says he only wants to protect them, like he was trying to protect her when he got those threatening messages. Sara still can’t understand why he didn’t tell her about it at the time, Juan is sorry for that, but is happy she never left the ranch as he asked back then, because having her close helped her protect her. He felt terrified when he thought she’d die.

Sara asks if it was truly Victorio who wanted to harm her. Juan says they found the phone that sent the messages on him. But what if someone placed that phone on his body?

Still with Pedro, Deb accuses him of becoming unhinged because of his hooker of a mother’s return. This infuriates Pedro, he grabs a pillow and places it over Deb’s face briefly. Then he removes it and says referring to Juan and Sara “let them come, so everybody can find out Sara is not Severiano Del Monte’s daughter, but Dante’s!”  Ay, caray!
