Caray, Caray!

Paz arrives home with Sam and Cobija. She tells her family she will take care of the child and treat her like a daughter.

While Ginebra is tending to Mauro’s wound, he assures her that he left no traces behind, the other kids had no clue about Samara. She’s happy the child is dead. Mauro remembers how she was always cold, even as a child, but it hurts him that he killed Gorilla, he will always carry this on his conscience. Ginebra reminds him where they come from and how they used to be called in the orphanage. Mauro was 2512, because he arrived one Christmas day and she was 0708 (so she was abandoned on August 7^th, this could become important later). They were both mere numbers, but they managed to have names. He did what he had to do to survive. And they will move forward no matter what. Mauro asks if there will ever come a day when they stop hurting people and just be happy?

Lupita and Mireya don’t think Paz should keep Samara, but she promised to protect her. Lupita understands, but she could go to jail, this child is not her daughter, she is stealing her from her real mother, who is looking for her.

Paz explains her uncle wanted to kill her; he could still do it if she ever got back home. Luna doesn’t remember her name, but someone evil locked her up in a box and threw her away. Mireya thinks she should tell Ginebra, who is hurting. But Paz wants to make sure Ginebra is good, and she doesn’t want to go to the police either, because she still thinks she’s seen cops earlier and thinks they are in cahoots with Luna’s uncle. Her heart tells her she needs to defend Luna; and she needs their help. Lupita warns her that she is involving the entire family in this, and she could have problems with the law. Paz hears them, but doesn’t care, she will listen to her heart, be a mom to this little girl.

Samara is snacking and chatting with Sal and Nandy. They are both waiting for Pepa to get out of the bathroom, but someone should maybe think about washing Sam first.

Ginebra has her next step of the plan ready: tank Elvira’s company and then buy it for parts. OK, Mauro says, but he needs to talk about their absurd situation first.

Nandy finished using the bathroom, just as Paz and Sam arrive. Paz prepares a bubble bath, and the poor girl finally gets to have a good wash.

Sam tells Paz that she wishes to find her mom and make sure she never abandoned her. Paz starts telling Sam a story about a mom who lost her daughter but never lost hope that she’d find her. Sam wishes Paz was her mom and Paz agrees to be one for her the time it takes to find her real mother.

Esteban and the kids arrive in the barrio. Eder and Gala love the murals, Bosco acts like a prick. Gala likes the barrio, Esteban says he will bring them over more often, the company is not very far away either. Like he’s told them before, he used to be poor, his father was a campesino, he’d like for them to feel connected to simple people. Gala asks if he talked to his dad recently, and Esteban says that no, not yet, but one of them will have to take the first step eventually.

Ginebra and Mauro go into a secret, vault-like room, where they have huge stacks of cash. Mauro wonders what’s the point to having all this money if they can’t take advantage of it. Ginebra reminds Mauro that Elias was not the first husband she killed, before him there was Federico, a lot of this money belonged to him.

Flashback to the forest and Ginebra saying a few last words to her dying husband. Back to the present, Ginebra says they can’t deposit this money, that’s why they always need a new victim. Mauro is aware of this, but hasn’t she ever thought about falling in love, having a family?

Ginebra is like “God forbid, people in love lose their heads, are easily manipulated.”

Sam doesn’t want to leave the bathtub, because she’s been dirty for so long. She’d like to wash Cobija, too, and Monito… Where could he be? What if he’s cold? Paz promises to ask her support group about Monito, maybe someone recognizes him.

Samara gets out of the water, Paz was afraid she wasn’t going to do a good job, since this is the first time she bathes a little girl. She notices Sam’s hair and decides to fix it a bit. She cuts it some more and gives it a shape.

There is a knock at the door, Esteban and his kids are here!

Panic all around, as Eder starts playing with Cobija.

Paz and Sam are still in the bathroom, Paz tells the child to stay hidden, nobody can see her for now, her life is still in danger. Sam gets scared, Paz will ask someone to come help her get dressed. They will later go buy her some new clothes, too.

Paz comes to the living room to greet Esteban and his family, telling her mother that she can go use the bathroom now.

Esteban would like to know why Paz left her work without asking permission. Bosco says Pepa was found in the kitchen and adds that he was also in the study. Paz and Mireya defend Pepa, who speaks up, telling everyone how Bosco threated him with that sword (good boy!)

Esteban is shocked, he didn’t see anything on the cameras. Bosco says he was joking, but Esteban is over this attitude, he forbids Bosco from participating in his competition later on and asks him to apologize. Bosco does it half-heartedly.

Paz admits part of the blame, since the food was her responsibility, but some guest could have spiked the wine.

Bosco wants to use the bathroom, the women scream NO, because Sam is still in there. They say Lupita is using it, they suggest the bathroom in the restaurant, then another one they have on the roof… Bosco says he’d rather wait until he gets home.

Then he attacks Pepa again, Salomon defends his brother, saying he is to blame.

Esteban says that can’t be, he had the food analyzed, why is he taking the blame for something so serious that could hurt not only him, but also his family? Mireya and Paz are sure he’s innocent, Sal just wants to protect his brother.

Gala says it was her, she did it because yaya is treating Paz badly. Then Nandy says it was her, too, then Eder says the same.

Paz puts a stop to the madness, Esteban only wants the truth, he feels like Gala is mocking him by saying she’s guilty. Paz asks why she is defending Sal and Gala says he’s her novio.

Esteban is surprised, he knows Gala and she never mentioned anything about him before. Sal’s family is surprised, also, but the teens both insist it’s true. Sal even makes a declaration; but Esteban is still reluctant to believe any of this.

Lupita is taking care of Samara, promises to buy her some more clothes later. Sam thinks Lupita could be her grandma, and Lupita likes the idea, but Sam must remember she has a family and sooner or later she’ll have to go back to them. Sam understands this, but they will take care of her while she’s in danger.

When Sam is clean, Lupita starts singing for her.

Nandy takes Bosco to a bathroom on the roof and jokingly asks him for money, before allowing him to go inside.

Ginebra, all dressed in red, in front of a green screen, is preparing a new video.

“I don’t know where to begin. I met Esteban years ago and I thought we were in love.”

Sam screams from the bathroom, Paz says she will go check, it should be her mom. She runs inside, Sam was screaming because Lupita was cutting her nails. And she’s very hungry.  Paz promises to give her something to eat soon.

Elvira tells Fogo that she’s been looking for her daughter for years. At one point she managed to track down an orphanage that her father had visited, but the place had burned down and there were no records left. If Ginebra was her daughter, it would be a miracle. Fogo says he can go ahead with the DNA test.

Back in the living room there is some more talk about the two novios, Gala says Sal used to follow her online, so they already knew each other from before.

Paz takes Esteban away before he gets mad with something Sal says about Gala.

They talk in private about the fact they don’t believe this relationship to be real. He apologizes for his behavior the other day; he also needs to show his kids that conflicts can be solved by talking. Also, he can’t stop but worry about her.

They are on the roof, he gets a bit close, she gets restless, he’d like to know her better and her barrio, too. Paz apologizes for leaving so suddenly, she had to take care of an urgent matter.

Forget that I’m your boss, what happened? Esteban asks.

Paz remembers the night before and tells Esteban she got news about a little girl that could have been her daughter, but it turned out she wasn’t. She starts crying and Esteban hugs her. These two hug so well, I wonder how they kiss.

Sam wants to leave the bathroom, she’s sick of it. Mireya brings her a smoothie to drink.

Gala and Sal talk about their lies and how they must convince everyone they are involved. He starts hugging her, she pushes him away and here comes Kenzo with flowers for Nandy. As if the place wasn’t crowded enough.

Nandy almost cries as Bosco looks at them in shock. Kenzo explains this is a thank you bouquet, Nandy thinks he should have this kind of gestures with his sons, too.

Esteban promises one day Paz will find her daughter. And here comes another hug, but Vermin shows up to ruin the moment. Paz signals at him to please keep quiet. Vermin notices Esteban is spending a lot of time with the poor folk, wants to talk to Paz in private. Paz says he’ll have to wait, she still has to talk to her boss. Vermin implies that something more must be going on, points out that affairs between bosses and their workers always end badly.
