Caray, Caray!

Sara walks in on Deb and Juan and contradicts her mother’s jibberish, by saying that she and Juan are going to unite for their son and their family. She heard all of Deb’s words, and she’s back to talk to her brothers. She promises to Juan none of Deb’s words about her are true. Juan believes her. She wants to speak to the others first, but she asks Deb to talk later at the apartment.

Juli accuses Rosa of always pushing her towards Juan. They could have never been happy together. Juan doesn’t love her! Rosa admits she wanted her daughters to be happy no matter what and realizes the one who loves Julieta is Mateo. But Juli can’t even hear his name, she hates him and the child she’s carrying so much! Rosa is shocked by these words, but Juli doesn’t care. Maybe Rosa can finally see the magnitude of her mistake.

Crazy-eyed again after Deb destroyed his parents’ portrait, Simon looks almost catatonic while Paloma tries to keep him off the edge (who needs a baby when you have a Simon, am I right, Paloma?). Think about the present and our future, Paloma says and Simon’s answer is to remind her and the Patio how much he hates Deborah (as if any of us ever had the time to forget about that). He does wonder about what she said about Paloma’s father, but Paloma insists her dad is Salvador. They kiss and Paloma promises to put back the portrait.

Modesto and Bertha kiss goodbye, he promises to keep her words just for him. Brandon and Dulce are at the bar, too, Dulce kisses Brandon without notice, he’s happy.

Sara and Juan get in the house and Simon welcomes Sara with the reminder of what her mother is capable of. Sara feels very bad, she can’t stop looking at the ruined portrait, as Juan tries to calm his brother. Sara apologizes for her mom, but it wasn’t her. She’d like to speak to him in private before she sees the others. Simon doesn’t want to, but Juan asks him to do it, too.

Deb is in the chapel, that’s where she’d kept hidden the box of letters. She starts going through them while Adela spies from outside. But Pedro notices her and chases her away, and then goes inside to ask Deb what she is still doing at the ranch. He doesn’t like Deb’s answer that she’s here for a personal matter and they struggle over the box of letters. When the box falls on the floor Pedro is the one who picks up the letters and realizes they are from Rosa to her beloved Sev.

Pedro is amused to have the confirmation that Rosa did have a thing for Sev, too, the guy could really turn heads, couldn’t he? Deb says this is none of his business, she will take care of it. Pedro doesn’t care about Rosa, what he’d like to know is about their plan. Deb says she can’t do that to Sara, she is her mother. Pedro warns Deb that if it’s not her, it’s going to be him, and he might just take care of the child and the mother. Deb doesn’t think he could hurt Sara, but she could kill him with his bare hands for this. Pedro calls her and Dante useless, made for one another. Then makes the sign of the cross and leaves.

At the Millan house, Rosa and Prospi are still very worried about Julieta and her odd behavior. Prospi apologizes for accusing Rosa earlier, he is to blame, too. Alondra is afraid Juli will harm the baby, Rosa doesn’t think she would go that far. They all hug.

In the study Sara tells Simon that while nobody liked her when she first moved in, she knows he took it the worst. And when he threw her in  the mud, she started hating him. They never lived together, they never got to know one another… Simon says this was Sev’s fault, he always kept her hidden. Sara used to think that, too, and that’s why they hated one another so much. What she wants now is to be free. Free of the hate and of the resentment she’s felt ever since she came to the ranch. And she wants the same thing for him. He doesn’t see this possible, because too many ugly things have happened between them. But Sara refuses to believe they can’t start over, they just have to give it an honest try together. Simon actually seems to be listening to her.

He says it’s hard to forget what Deb has done to their family and Sara admits she’s having a hard time forgetting all his humiliations towards her, too. But that’s one of the reasons she never pressed charges against him over the poisoning affair, because she wants to trust him and put all of this behind them. Simon insists it wasn’t him, Sara asks him again to start from scratch, get to know one another for real. She extends her arm and Simon takes it, she is crying and he is teary eyed, too.  

Lucas and Mateo come down the stairs to find the ruined portrait and Juan still trying to reach Dante. He tells Lucas he will explain them about the portrait later and when Mateo says he’s worried about Julieta doing something to harm his baby, Juan says he will go talk to her the next day. Pedro arrives to ask if he talked to Sara and realizes Deb ruined the portrait. Juan explains Sara is in the study talking with Simon and asks Pedro about Dante, too. He lies that they plan to meet the next day to talk about Tadeo.

Sal tells Augustin Modesto is very happy to be getting married. He’s also happy to be with Adela, he never though he’d have another chance at happiness. And no, he hasn’t had any news about Irma, nor does he wish to. But he’s worried sick about Paloma. Because Sev had once told him that Paloma is his daughter. Sal never allowed him to prove it with a DNA test, he even threatened Sev to tell Catalina the truth. That’s why Sev never included Paloma in his will. Sal did tell Catalina the truth eventually, but she kept quiet, like she’d done about so many other Sev secrets. Paloma is listening to the entire conversation, as she has arrived just before they started talking.

Augie asks Sal if Paloma knows anything, Sal says that she doesn’t. Just then Bryan sees Paloma and calls her. The men don’t think she heard theirconversation and she comes to hug them all smiles. She tells them about the Julieta bombshell.

Sara calls for the brothers to come into the study, too. Juan tells her he’s trying to reach Dante, Pedro suggests he probably left for a vacation. As Juan calls, we can see that Dante is still alive, but agonizing, still hanging in the same spot Pedro left him.

Deb is still at the ranch, barely able to walk with her high heels on the cobblestone – poor Elizabeth Alvarez has to recite another one of Deb’s rants while actually being scared that she might break her neck if she accidentally falls. Deb promises to find proof against Pedro and she will show it to all his brothers. As she talk to herself, she arrives at the chamber of torture (I think), but before she can go inside, Adela arrives to ask what she is doing there. Deb thinks she is following her, Adela offers to escort her out, but Deb leaves on her own.

Sara tells to the brothers that Juan asked her to come back to the ranch and Juan explains that Sara is aware of Julieta’s absurd lie. Pedro flashes back to hearing Juan tell Dante that he already “knew about it” earlier, while carrying a folder, and says out loud “The folder”, but then excuses himself with his brothers saying he has a lot on his mind right now. I don’t see the connection between what Juan was saying about Julieta’s lie and Pedro remembering the moment Dante confirmed to Juan that Campo Verde belonged to Pedro, but maybe that will be explained later.

Anyway, Juan keep talking about how difficult their situation has been, but they all know they are having a baby together. Juan and Sara hold hands and Sara says she wants to get to meet her brothers and Juan wants Sara to come back. She makes it clear that she doesn’t want the inheritance, but she does want to live with them so they can become a family. She wants to have real brothers, to stop fighting and to become united. Lucas of course is happy to accept her, asks if she’s coming back immediately. Sara says not until Juan clarifies his situation with Julieta and then further explains that she wants to do things differently this time around, no more trying to impose her presence on them, she wants to ask them all if they accept her as part of their family and their company. Lucas and Mateo smile, Simon has a poker face and Pedro… well, he’s no sunshine and roses, for sure.

Lucas hugs Sara and says that he does want her to stay. Mateo asks if Deb will be around, too, and Sara says definitely not. Simon agrees with Sara coming back, if for nothing else, then for Juan, who deserves to be happy, after sacrificing so much to be there for them. He thanks Juan again for his support and hugs him. Pedro says he doesn’t agree, if Sara comes back, Deb will never leave them alone. Sara insist her mom won’t come back and neither will she for now. Pedro reluctantly welcomes her, Simon says he has to go meet Paloma. And Mateo only says he hopes that everything will be alright, they all deserves a new beginning. He needs to go see Julieta, he’s worried for his son’s life. And Pedro leaves, too, he’s very tired apparently. When Lucas excuses himself, too, Juan and Sara are alone and both hope this is the beginning of a new era for them, one of peace and quiet.

Speaking of peace and quiet, Dante is still in agony, dripping blood… Or is he finally dying?

Paloma gives Sal and Augie the details about Julieta being caught in her lie. But she also wants to tell them that Simon confessed to his brothers about Sev’s accident and how his guilt comes from the fact that he couldn’t bring himself to call for help. Augie tries to say that he was there, but Paloma stops him, they all need to help Simon get over this trauma. No more talking about this subject!

Jessica has come to see Juan, but he won’t talk without Sara present. Jess explains she’s not here to talk about Juli, but about Bryan, who left his work because they wouldn’t give him his raise. Sara says that she did approve for the salary increase, she even promised him a better job. And Pedro was going to talk to Juan about it, but … Another light bulb moment for them.

Over dinner, Tadeo asks Bea if Bruno will be his dad, too, he already has two fathers. Bea explains that Corni is his dad, the one who raised him and took care of him. Tadeo doesn’t know who to love more, because his real father is Pedro. Bea promises to talk about this later, now it’s time to go to bed, because he has his robots competition the next day. Bea asks why he called his robot Henry, Tadeo lies that he saw the name on TV.

Then Tadeo asks if he’ll have another cousin and Bea says that yes, tia Sara is having a baby, too. Tadeo says that makes them three herederos Del Monte, but he is the first one. Chilling!

It’s getting late and Juan wants to take Sara home. She’s worried because she and Bea found out Tadeo named his robot Henry because Pedro told him to, and she thinks the whole thing very odd. Pedro, Henry, Victorio… that’s it, connect the dots.

Pedro is in his room, cleaning his rifle. Dead Dante (!) comes to visit him and Pedro asks him to go away and shots him. Juan and Sara hear the noise and run to Pedro's room, find him with his rifle directed at them. He says it was an accidental shot, but both Juan and Sara have to beg and scream for him to hand over the weapon. Juan will take it to his room, for now. Pedro asks them both to get out!!

On the hallway Sara and Juan agree that it was very odd for Pedro to clean his rifle in the dark. Juan knows Pedro has been acting very strange lately, the only reason he hasn’t investigated it, is because he’s afraid of what he might find.

Juan adds that he’s no longer willing to sacrifice their love for anything in the world, and they hug. Sara has to leave and Juan insists to take her home.

Mateo has come to visit the Millan family. Prospi wants him to leave, both he and Rosa are upset with him because of the spectacle he created at the party. Between him and Juan, they really turned Julieta crazy. Mateo stands his ground, Prospi can do whatever he wants to him, but he needs to take care of his daughter because the baby she’s carrying is innocent and Juli needs professional help. Prospi resents this, Mateo says Julieta might do something to harm her baby, so he will never stop coming over, Prospi throws him out.

Simon has arrived at the Bar, apparently Sal put a note on the front door: “Del Monte family not welcomed”. Simon apologizes for the other night, but Sal is still upset. He does offer Simon a tequila to drink. Augie is already drunk, Simon offers him another glass, Paloma reminds him he’s taking medication. But Augie doesn’t care, look at the patron Severiano how he died.

Jess is still waiting for Bryan to come back home, she couldn’t go see him at the bar because of that woman. Adela assures Jess Bryan is not cheating, Jess asks if Adela knew about the raise that Sara did agree to. She also asks about Bryan’s relationship with Pedro, wonders if Bryan left the ranch because of him.

Corni tries to convince Bryan to participate in his new plan against Pedro, because Juan needs to know the truth. Bryan doesn’t want to get involved, he’s afraid for his family’s life. Corni insists, they have to stop being so coward, or Pedro will finish them all.

And speaking of, here is Pedro digging another grave, this time for Dante, the traitor. He knows he was the one who told Juan about Campo Verde. And now he’ll be going after his daughter. She will pay, too.

Sara and Juan arrive at the apartment, she offers him a drink. He’d like some tea, I hope Deb already threw away her poisonous potion. Juan speaks about the change in Pedro, who has always been difficult, but never to this extent. They both agree that Aurora’s return disturbed him a lot, they have no clue where she might have left. Juan would like to tell her something more: Campo Verde belongs to Pedro!
