Caray, Caray!

Ginebra tries to “kill herself” by cutting her wrist just in time for Esteban to find her and call the paramedics. Everyone fusses over her, Elvira especially, while Ginebra is so apologetic. Poor soul, she’s at the end of her rope, she’s lost the will to live. Cry me a river!

Thank God and all the angels, the cut is not too deep, no need to go to the hospital. Ginebra still can’t understand what came over her to do such a thing. Elvira is very understanding, Gin feels especially bad because she made a mess in Esteban’s office, she even destroyed his wife’s portrait.

Esteban understands pain, he felt like going crazy many times after Berenice died. Yes, Ginebra agrees, but at least he had his kids to comfort him. She really hopes this episode didn’t ruin her chances to work with them.

Esteban says what she tried to do is very serious, especially the fact that she chose his office to do it. It would be irresponsible of him to give her a job now, she needs to find psychological help first.

Elvira and Ginebra both look upset, but hahaha, brownie points for Esteban.

Paz talks with Eder and Gala about Bosco still having a hard time with their mom’s death. She is willing to help any way she can, she makes it clear than she and Esteban are not involved.

Monito tells Sam to run away; he heard Gorilla say that he wants to sell her. And there he comes, telling “Luna” that she’s about to change homes.

Vermin asks Mauro for money in exchange for his daughter and Mauro agrees, but Vermin will have to work for him from now on.

Paz has prepared a cake, she asks Eder and Gala (who looks rather stressed) to give Bosco a slice, because she doesn’t want to argue with him again. Elvira hears the last part and asks what they were fighting about. Paz explains that Bosco doesn’t like her and wants her to resign. Both Gala and Eder defend Paz, Elvira wants Paz to leave for now, but be back first thing tomorrow morning.

Alone in the kitchen, Elvira tastes the cake and kind of likes it.

Esteban has taken Ginebra home, she doesn’t live very far away. She apologizes again, he must think she’s crazy. He understands her, sees himself in her. The first days are always the worst, he thought about dying, too. Oh, geez, they have so much in common, Ginebra notices…

Esteban thinks she might have another episode, depression is no joke. When Berenice died, there were rumors that she wanted to kill herself. He talked to everyone, even the police, but he’s never been able to find out the truth. But he still feels so guilty he couldn’t save his wife.

“You saved me, Esteban”, Ginebra says and grabs his hand.  

Kenzo comes by the barrio to visit Nandy. Dona Lupe first makes him buy coffee jars with meaningful messages on the label (but does he actually give her any money?)

Nandy is remembering herself as a young boy when Lupe comes to tell her she has a visit, the boy with the pretty eyes. Nandy gets flustered.

Still waiting outside, Kenzo sees drawings of Paz’s daughter and is impressed.

Nandy and Kenzo have a drink together. When she grabs his hand, he says he has a confession to make. It’s about his kids and his ex, who’s back and says she still loves him. What should he do? He loves his kids but not his wife. He has a difficult relationship with his boys, they’ve been affected by the divorce. Nandy suggests he throws them a welcome party, but Kenzo says he’s clueless about parties. She offers to take care of everything with the Roble family. He’s very happy, kisses her on the cheek.

On her way home, Paz is asking people in the street if they have seen her daughter. She gives them pictures of what she’d look like. This scene makes me so sad, a mother’s love never falters.

Monito tries to explain to Sam what route to take to leave Camp Oliver Twist. It’s already very dark outside.

She hears some men talk and tries to hide from them.

Gorilla realizes “Luna” is gone, but she’s not too far, they can hear Cobija bark. Sam falls into a huge puddle and at the same time Paz, who is now in the bus, has a bad startle and starts to cry, praying to the Virgen to protect her daughter.

Sam manages to get Cobija out of the water, but she’s not able to save herself. Gorilla eventually finds her and goes into the water to save her (since she’s worth millions).

By the time Gorilla drags her out, Sam is passed out. He gives her mouth to mouth and Sam opens her eyes.

With Esteban gone, Mauro arrives and Ginebra explains to him her day. Since Esteban didn’t really feel like giving her a job, she wanted to speed things along, so she cut her wrist. Mauro calls her too impulsive, but she says she did what she had to do because they are losing control. He warns her that this type of behavior could cause them a lot of harm.

Ginebra says she’s no fool, she made sure the cut wouldn’t be too deep. She just wanted to play with her victim status in front of Esteban. Yeah, but what if he’ll think you’re crazy. Ginebra thinks Esteban identifies with her, he even bought her home. Mauro points out there is a fine line between seeing her as a victim as opposed to a woman.

Later they talk about Sam’s bio dad showing up. If only Mauro had killed her when he was supposed to. Mauro reminds her they are a team, always together. Ginebra insists they need to kill Sam, and Mauro points out “her pain” over losing her daughter is what connects her to Esteban. Ginebra is sarcastically noticing how nice Elvira is being with her, a woman who has been such a crappy mother.

Elvira is looking in her little box again. What is that gold object she keeps smelling, a kid’s toy? She says that she hopes that wherever “they” are, “they” are very happy.

Fogo arrives to interrupt, and she snaps at him. He apologizes, he knows that the help should never disturb. Surprisingly, Elvira says he’s more than that, he’s stood by her all these years. He asks if she’d allow him to know the real her then. Huh? Romance alert?

Elvira says there are things she could never confess, not even to a priest. He thinks she’s talking about the pain of losing Berenice. He adds Esteban and the kids are like a family to him. She apologizes for not showing more appreciation to him.

He says her eyes are screaming for help, what can he do to?

Elvira says Bere is not the only daughter she lost, she had another baby girl, she still doesn’t know where she is. (So I guess that cat’s out of the bag.)

He must keep this to himself! Fogo promises he will, he thanks her for sharing this. Elvira asks him to leave now, she will always have to carry this sin. What sin, if her daughter was taken from her?

Esteban arrives home, feeling sad, but then sees Paz’s cake. Miam!

Gala greets him, they both agree the cake is delicious. Both she and Eder like Paz, but Bosco has been very rude to her. Esteban is aware that her son and Elvira will be difficult to convince.

Paz arrives home and gives Lupe the good news about her job. Bosco are Elvira don’t like her, but Lupe is not worried, Paz will win them over with her cheerful self.

While doing a massage to her mom, Paz says she thought about her daughter a lot on her way home, more than ever, she feels like she’d in danger.

Mireya is with her sons, one is focusing on school, the other on girls. Gues which is which?

Esteban wants to know why Bosco is rude to Paz. The boy is frustrated because all of a sudden she’s everywhere, first at the company, now in their home, what’s wrong with his dad?

Esteban quickly puts Bosco in his place for talking bad and makes it clear the only woman he has ever loved was his mother. He’s not interested in Paz, he’s just helping her because he came from nothing, too, and he understands the struggle. This woman has suffered a lot, Bosco needs to respect her and respect his decision. Bosco hopes he’s not lying, or else, she will get fired. My God, this kid!!

Gala comes for the cake…She grabs it, hesitates, then puts in in the fridge and drops to the floor sobbing.

After Kenzo leaves, Nandy is very happy. With Mireya and Paz they talk about sometimes needing a man even if they are all used to being alone. Could there be love for them somewhere in this world? Nandy says she really likes Kenzo, but he doesn’t like her, he only sees her as a friend. The others encourage her to keep believing.

The next morning Monito and a dirtier than ever Sam are being scolded by Gorilla for wanting to run. He says he’s the only one who cares about them kids, and this reminds Sam of her father Elias saying that he loved her. She tells Gorilla that he’s a liar, she does have a mom and dad who love her, she just remembered them and they will find her. Gorilla laughs at her, nobody loves them, if either one dares leave the truck, they will be beaten. Sam asks Monito to pray together, God is protecting them from the sky.

Paz has arrived for a new day of work. She tries to encourage Esteban, he says he will find the person who caused all their troubles.

Elvira brings Paz her new uniform and orders her to go prepare breakfast.

Nandy comes to see Kenzo to help with the party. She hugs him hello, just in time for Felipa to arrive and slap Nandy for touching “her husband”. Nandy is no pushover; she slaps right back.

Paz is preparing breakfast, while smiling. It’s obvious she loves cooking. She’s making omelets, with cheese, salsa and whatnot. After introducing the meal to the family, Esteban asks her to stick around for a bit, Bosco owes her an apology. Caras impactadas all around.

Ginebra meets Vermin, Mauro had asked him to call the people he owns money to. When Rubio and his minion arrive Ginebra says Vermin will work for her from now on, it’s forbidden for them to bother him again. What if they don’t obey, Rubio asks. Ginebra simply shoots the other goon, straight in the heart. If that doesn’t make a statement, I don’t know what will.

She adds that Vermin will pay them back with the money he gets working for them.

Vermin says he is willing to do the work, but Rubio must promise to leave Paz and the Roble family alone. Ginebra is shocked to hear this name, Vermin explains Paz is his ex, his daughter’s mom.

Ginebra and Mauro are starting to connect the dots…
