Caray, Caray!

We open with Sam/Luna walking around the barrio with her dog-rabbit.

Paz and Mireya still haven't realised Sam/Luna is missing. They're STILL hanging the laundry and are talking about her. Paz says she feels as if God sent them Luna for a reason. Mir replies that she feels as if Luna were her niece. Paz tells her sister she needs help and Mir accepts to "fall in love" with Mauro so she can investigate. Paz thanks her. I guess spying on him is too lame for them, so next logical step: have your sister hit on him. Okay...

Sam/Luna remembers Monito gifting her a pera (pear) and she goes somewhere to look for him.

Esteban asks his MIL to apologise to Lupe. With the number of time he's asked people to apologise to others, I'm shocked he isn't called Esteban Disculpas. Anyway. Elvira of course doesn't and they get in a fight about Esteban Disculpas defending Paz and her family. Esteban says that he's defending what's fair and he knows Paz and her family are good people. "Whether you like it or not, Paz will not lose her job", he adds. Elvira then tells him that his interest in Paz is "suspicious" and screams that she will NEVER let a "servant" become the stepmother to her grandchildren. She leaves and Lupe thanks him, they hug.

Gala remembers the video of Berenice and the blood thrown at her dad and starts crying. She opens a box of chocolates and starts eating. (The whole bulimia thing is starting to get on my nerves.)

Mireya says they'll have problems if Sam/Luna starts remembering stuff. Paz and Mireya FINALLY figure out Sam/Luna (I'll just call her Luna from now on) has left and search for her in the house and restaurant, panicked.

The kid, meanwhile, is still wandering on the streets, telling Cobija she doesn't know where else to go to search for Monito and she's lost and doesn't know where Paz's house is. She asks a woman, but she doesn't know. Seconds after Luna leaves, Rubio arrives and tells the woman she owes him. She tells him to wait and he mumbles something about not waiting for much longer before he leaves.

Paz, Mireya, Nandy, Pepa and Salomon are searching for Luna everywhere. They ask a bunch of people but NONE of them have seen her. 

At some point, Salo asks Gema, who gets into a fight with him. Can we NOT focus on the teens' love lives? Especially NOT now? Please?

Some good news; we see where Monito is. He's at some hospital with other kids, asleep at the moment. I'm just glad they didn't kill him off...

Luna goes to buy a pera for Monito, whenever she sees him. Aww, cute, although I have to point out that the pear won't last that long, does that mean they'll find him soon? Because there's NO way we won't get a pear giving scene. Anyway, she asks the woman if she can have it for free, the woman kindly says she can't gift it to her, but she can lower the price a lot. In a shocking moment, Vermin pops out of nowhere, like most vermin does and buys the pear for Luna. He asks her why is she here and where is Paz and Luna explains. At some point she says she remembers him as Paz's friend. Vermin says they're not really friends, they were married some time ago... But anyway, let's go. 

Esteban remembers the blood and the rock thrown at him when Gin calls. Does this woman have a detector for misery? How can she always pop up when everyone's upset? Esteban answers and Gin (while deciding which dress to wear) says "she's heard" and "she's sorry". Oh and she wants to invite him to dinner. Esteban doesn't think it's a good idea but Gin says it won't take long, it's important and something about it happening when the kids are asleep? This screams "red flag" but Esteban says ok but it has to be in his house. Gin agrees. 

Esteban knocks on Gala's door and asks her if he can come in. Gala hides the sweets and after an eternity, says yes. He enters and says he wants to apologise (he's Señor Disculpas for a reason) about today. Gala asks him how he is and he says ok conpared to his internal scars. Her brothers are asleep and he wants to know how it was for her. Gala says she can't forget mom's face in the video. She adds that she feels very lonely. Esteban hugs her and points out that she has them. Gala says that she has a gap in her heart that she can't fill.

Vermin brings Luna home. Paz asks her to promise she won't leave again the house like that. Luna promises and apologises, she just wanted to search for Monito. Paz thanks Vermin for bringing her home.

Ginebra, wearing the tightest dress she could have found (our Black Widow knows what to wear) enters Esteban's house. She says she's thinking of her daughter 24 hours a day. She doesn't mention she does that to get her killed, though. Meh, unimportant details, am I right?

Paz puts Luna to her bed to sleep. Luna doesn't want to get her out of her bed, but Paz says she doesn't mind and says that when she has enough money she'll buy her a bed and Luna asks about Cobija. Paz smiles and says she'll buy Cobija one too. She shows Luna a song she wrote herself to sing to her daughter. She wants them to sing it together so her daughter María can hear from whenever she is. The dramatic irony in this show!

Esteban pulls Gin's chair. Unfortunately, she's not sitting on it yet. She says she wished they could say cheers to wine, but she can't drink it with her antidepressants. Ugh. Speaking of wine, did she see anything strange with the wine she gave to Elvira? No, no she didn't. Hang on, wasn't it the cook's fault? No Gin, that was my MIL's delusions. Gin changes the subject like a pro and talks about having the power to fill their gaps, together. Esteban is either way too polite or way too stupid to realise she's so obviously hitting on him (I'm slow on these things and even I figured it out pretty quickly), because he goes all "ah yes, my daughter said the same!" Gin says about both of them not growing up with a mother figure and after some more "sweet" things, including but not limited to holding hands, she tells him that in order to help them she bought 30% of the company's shares! Esteban doesn't look too happy and pulls his hand away (finally). This doesn't go unnoticed by Ginebra.

Paz and Luna are singing the song together. Paz looks like she got emotional. Aww, such a cute scene. But then Luna remembers her mother's face. Uh oh.

And after the cuteness, back to the perra and Esteban. The conversation went kind of like this: 

E: Forgive me, Gin, but you shouldn't have bought the shares without consulting me-

G: Well, I wanted to help you just like you guys helped me and-

E: Gin, you're confusing interpersonal relationships with work, you know. You're not really helping, now the investors won't trust us that much the company's evaluation is going to go downhill.

G: Yes, Esteban, that was my fricking plan! Uh, scrap that, I mean, are you blind or what? The trust in the company is already worsening and the other similar companies, whatever company you have, which we never bothered to mention once in 14 episodes, are doing hostile acquisitions!

E: Nope Gin, I think you're playing a short-term game based on pure speculation.

G: Oh no, you're not falling for it? Okay, I'll play upset, HOW COULD YOU THINK I'D DO SUCH A THING? 

E: Oh wait, I'm mister Disculpas, right? Uh, SORRY, but... Yeah... No. 

Okay fine, I might have gone a little off script, but you get the point. After that, Gin actually KISSES Esteban, who gets the super contagious galán paralysis for a few seconds, even though his face is screaming WTF. Gin, since she wants to be future Mrs. Disculpas, apologises.

Paz is trying to calm Luna down. The dog-rabbit jumps on the bed and goes close to Luna to calm her down. Aww. I wonder if this was scripted or if the dog acted on its own accord and the actors improved the scene. She doesn't remember anything now, but mentions that her mother's eyes were "profundos" (deep?) 

Gin says Esteban's silence is killing her. He says she shouldn't have kissed him and she needs psychological help. Gin cries about him being a typical man, mocking a woman's feelings. He asks her not to put words in his mouth. Gin screams that he offended her, he implied she has some sort of plan to ruin them even though she listed all her reasons for buying the shares ("I want to help you" isn't exactly "listing reasons") and whines about being vulnerable in front of him and is he implying she's hysterical? Does she want an honest answer? I've got one for her, but she won't like it. No, HE'S SORRY, but she's acting on impulse. Gin says she's very sad and if he could believe that cook, he can at least give her the benefit of the doubt. She didn't want to tell him, BUT Lilian Gatica and Caludia Vásquez, two of his best shareholders, were eager to sell their shares after the hotel thing. He's right, she should have consulted him beforehand, but there wasn't time. Esteban tells her she didn't sign a simple paper, she replies that she knows, she's not stupid. He points out that he still hasn't authorised her to work with him. Great! Run! Run now that you can, my dude! She says she didn't have chances to work ever since she married, Elías just wanted her to be pretty and for the kids. She can't stand to think he's the same. No, he just doesn't know her that well and she says he'll meet the real Ginebra really soon. Dun dun dun!

Paz and Luna are praying together. Paz says she'll ask people if they've seen Monito tomorrow. She says something about danger I didn't catch and says Luna is safe here.

Gin whines to Esteban about Elías having her as a trophy wife. Even poor Sam suffered, he was so cold. (Funny neither of them are here to confirm/deny.) Esteban says he didn't know her marriege was like this. Gin has the nerve to say there's someone out there who hates them and she wants to help them. And she has to tell him something she hasn't told anyone before, not even Mauro; she kissed him because she identifies with him. She shows him a "threatening letter" that goes like "you killed your husband and faked the kidnapping, take responsibility or you'll never see your daughter alive again"!!! Gin says she thinks whoever is targeting Esteban's family is targeting her as well. That perra!

Paz and her family cook food. I have to say it's kind of relaxing to see food scenes near the end of an action-packed episode. Anyway, Doña Lupe tells them about the cachetadas with Elvira and she (Elvira) saying Paz would get into Esteban's bed to keep the job or something. Yikes! Everyone is unnerved, Paz thanks her mom but says she can defend herself. Mireya says it's irritating that whenever they see a poor, humble woman they immediately assume she'd do things like that (I'm nodding in agreement IRL). Lupe says Don Esteban defended them like a gentleman.

Esteban asks Gin if she went to the police. She says no and makes some fake story about that person somehow erasing the camera footage. He says he understands her more now. They hold hands (friendly, of course) and he says that they're adults, he will forget about the kiss. Oh and she can work for him. The look on Ginebra's face is a bit creepy, but I'll buy Esteban not noticing because of all the drama. 

The next day, Paz and Mireya talk about Luna and some sponsor.

Gala is over-exercising because she ate the chocolates. Okay... Esteban sees her and tells her to do it slower, she might get hurt. He then says he has to ask her something and he wants the truth. Gala bites her lip.

Paz wakes up Luna. She tells her "al que madruga, Dios lo ayuda" ("God helps the one who gets up early", but is also used to say that life is better if you take initiative, Google says).

In the hospital, the nurses that look like nuns with cuter outfits talk about calling the police. I'm not sure if they will or not because I was too busy looking at Monito's memories of Samara. Now that's a galán to the bone!

Paz makes breakfast, eggs with chorizo and other delicious-looking stuff, that I would gladly eat, just not for breakfast. I'm a huge foodie but also selective with food... But I digress. Vermin pops up and Lupe legit asks Paz how long he's staying here LOL I love her. Paz says something like "well, fam, I know Vermin's presence is awkward to all of us, but it'll be just for a few days". At some point, Luna said she felt like she had a family. The poor kid.

Esteban tells Gala how come she got so quickly in a relationship with Salomon, he doesn't really approve. Gala asks him if it's because he's poor and Esteban replies of course not, he has been surrounded with poor people all his life and he has went against Elvira and her classist attitude. No, he just thinks she's taking this fast, until yesterday Jerónimo was her type and now it's Salo? They don't have any common interests or anything. Gala replies that that's why she loves him, because he's different. Esteban is worried that Gala got into a relationship so fast because she feels that gap in her heart she told him. Unfortunately for everyone, just as Gala replies that she's not with Salo because of the gap she feels, Elvira walks next to them, hears this and in classic Elvira fashion, screams that she prohibits Gala, who mind you she must be around 16-17, to date and to have any sort of relationship with that guy.

And with Esteban and Gala's "crap we're screwed, now she'll start b!tching again", we have the Fin del Capítulo.
