Caray, Caray!

We get a repeat of the last scene of the previous episode, in which Elvira almost has a stroke when she hears Gala telling Esteban Salomón is her boyfriend.

The Robles (Paz's family) and well... Vermin are eating all together. Mireya says that this is a very good opportunity to apologise to Salo with everyone present. All the fam apologies for not believing him, comparing him with his dad and accusing him with no evidence. Salo says he forgives them, but just wants them to trust him from now on, something everyone is eager to do.

Elvira starts her usual classist nonsense. Gala says she loves her, but she can't dictate her life, she's an adult (so I was wrong about her being around 16). Yaya says that as long as she's living in her house (isn't it Esteban and Berenice's and she just came to live there?) and she's living off her money she'll have to authorise everything. Gala leaves. Esteban tried to stop the nonsense and said something about asking Salo about his intentions. Dude, they're still young! I hope he doesn't go all like "are you planning to marry my daughter", it's 2024 people!

Paz is giving sweet Luna a bath. She flashbacks to her asking Ginebra about what Sam likes. What's her favourite ice cream flavor? Chocolate! 0/1 so far for Gin, who claimed it was lemon. What's her favourite bedtime story? Rapunzel! 0/2 for Gin, who said it was Los tres ositos (The Three Bears). Okay, last chance to not completely fail the quiz: What's her favourite food? Oh well, she can't remember, but she knows she loves sweets. 0/3 for Gin, who told Paz it was pasta with seafood. Try again, Gin! 

After Luna's bath, Paz is getting ready for work when that adorable child says she wants to work too, aww. Paz tells her she's too young and they have to get her back to school. As she and her mom talk about not being able to get her to the hospital because of the awkward questions asked, Luna opens Paz's bag and shoves a drawing inside, without anyone noticing. She tells her good luck with her job, Paz smiles and leaves.

As Paz enters Esteban's house, both she and he aren't careful and they bump into each other. Paz's bag and Esteban's suitcase fall on the floor, papers flying around. They give The Telenovela Stare of Love and neither pulls away from the hugg-ish state they're in:

Unfortunately though, Bosco sees this. He doesn't say anything to them, who haven't noticed him and leaves quickly. Gin enters and sees this. After some lagging, she tells Esteban she came to tell him something extra about what she told him yesterday at dinner. Paz remembers Luna saying she remembered her mother's face. She and Esteban pick up the papers that fell and of course Gin notices the drawing. She picks it up and remembers a scene in which she scolded Sam/Luna about something that had to do with a drawing. It's very similar and she asks Paz who made her this. Oops.

Lupe and Luna are picking up coffee beans fresh from the tree. Vermin's watching and flashbacks to the time Paz announced him she's pregnant. He looked happy about becoming a dad, but I guess he was happier when he saw the dinero. I still can't forgive him for selling his own child. There's no going back for some things.

Paz makes an excuse about Pedro Pablo (Pepa) being good at drawing and giving classes to kids and that one of them gave her the drawing. Gin says she thought her (Paz's) daughter returned and then goes on and on about Samara. Paz leaves and Gin tells Esteban she got another phone call asking her to give millions of pesos and saying that if she won't pay, they'll say she killed her husband. Esteban looks worried.

Paz looks at Luna's drawing, in which she has written "good luck at your job!" She smiles and wonders if she's doing the right thing.

Bosco snitches to Elvira about Esteban and Paz being "too close, almost kissing". I want to give him a nice good μούντζα

to go along with his Greek(?) yaya. (I admit I was screaming at him in Greek "take these, you idiot!") An unknown number calls Elvira, who picks up. It's Mauro with a voice changer: "Give me 5 million pesos if you don't want anyone to find out about your secret." (Mauro is talking to her with the usted form. He might be a blackmailer, but he's a polite blackmailer.) "Who is it?" Elvira asks. "I'll call back to arrange the delivery and if you refuse, the world will learn you've had another daughter before Berenice". He hangs up as Elvira screams "WHO IS IT?" Bosco asks her who was it (really, now?) and she says it was someone from the company, don't worry. How on earth he bought that stumps me. 

Gin tells Esteban she needs his help and she had nothing to do with Elías' murder. Right, Ginebra, riiiiight.

Gala is live on some social media platform and tells people she has a boyfriend, his name is Salomón but she calls him Salo. Yes, she'll upload a picture of them soon. (Am I the only one who has a bad feeling about this?) After she ends the live, she grabs a picture of the family and remembers her mother telling her she's special. Paz enters holding a plate of food but Gala claims she has already eaten. Paz is disturbed by the tiny size of Gala's clothes and expresses her concerns about not eating enough and needing vitamins. Gala says she'll eat later.

Elvira is telling Fobo/Fogo about someone finding out about her other daughter. Fobo/Fogo says that the call looks like came from Asia? El says whoever's doing this is a pro and they have to investigate.

Gala gets emotional and tells Paz she was 13 years old when she lost her mom and she misses her. (So she's 19 now.) She wants to be a model to her siblings but she feels useless. Paz says she understands but she has a loving dad who always tries to help. Gala knows, but it's not enough, she needs her mamita here and not in the sky. Paz hugs her and Eder says he wants a hug too. They hug:

Esteban sees the hug and hears Paz telling them she'll be close to them. He smiles.

Jerónimo is playing videogames and streaming it. Someone sends him a message telling him Gala has found a boyfriend, weren't they almost a thing? Jer finds an excuse and stops the live. Kenzo enters and goes WOOOW at the room. As a gamer, I approve. He says he wants them to have a IpijamadaI (slumber party) and Jer says something about being the only one who calls it that now. Sandro, Kenzo's younger son, accidentally breaks some figure of Jer's. He takes it very calmly, like Dumbledore in the Goblet of Fire, but in the movie: DON'T BE STUPID, SANDRO, THIS IS FROM COMIC CON! DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH THAT COSTS? He almost hits his brother but Kenzo interferes and says he'll replace it, but "IT WAS LIMITED EDITION"!!! Felipa enters and blames Kenzo for everything. He says they're coming to his house to eat, he just wants to connect with his children. 

Mireya is exercising and telling Salo about not liking his relationship with Gala. "Son como el agua y el aceite", she tells him, meaning they don't get on well (literally "you're like water and oil"). She says she's worried by the number of girlfriends he's had this year and the possibility of getting Gala pregnant. Salo reassures her and after she leaves, talks with Vermin, who just popped up. He's not exactly friendly and Vermin talks about being an ex-Roble, whether he likes it or not and being a dad for him when his actual dad left them.

Another aggressive Elvira-Paz dialogue, in which the hug with Esteban pops up. At some point Paz tells El that Esteban is at Ginebra's.

Nandy asks Kenzo for an extra job, she's helping her family and she needs more. Kenzo says she can be his new assistant and Nandy hugs him. (I am SO waiting for the moment Felipa finds out.)

Gin says there are no records of the calls. Esteban tells her that if they search the legal way, they won't be justice. Gin thanks his and shows him a picture of Samara. She also takes him to Sam's room.

Vermin spends time with Luna. Lupe isn't too happy about that and Vermin goes like "she could be my daughter". Lupe says he's talking nonsense.

As Gin and Esteban talk about pain and go back to the living room, they see some dead people lying around the garden (I'm not joking). They stop from the shock and some men (with balaclavas) attack them. They grab Gin and Esteban shouts at them to leave her. The thugs say that they only want Ginebra, but push Esteban down too:

Paz is cooking some lobster. Eder arrives and tells her Gala wants it done in a specific way. He says he wants to become a chef when he's older and Paz makes him her assistant, but he isn't allowed near fire. She tells him "preguntándose se va a Roma", meaning he has to ask for explanations for any questions he's got (literally "by asking one goes to Rome"). 

Mireya is on her bike screaming that she has tacos when Rubio sexually attacks her... Again.

Paz enters Gala's room and hears her throwing up and crying. She almost knocks, but changes her mind. 

Mireya hits Rubio and runs, asking for help. She bumps straight into Mauro:

Mauro tells Rubio he gives him two seconds to leave. Rubio mumbles something about a third time.

The thugs say they'll grab all valuable things. One of them says Gin's husband was a millionaire, how much would she pay so they don't say what she did? Esteban says he'll pay them, but let her live. Gin's facials expressions though... She mentions about her jewellery being upstairs, so they take her as Esteban screams they'll get out of there.

Mauro tells Mir he'll escort her home. Mir thanks him and remembers Paz asking her to hit on Mauro for info, so she accepts. He says he needs to make some calls and then they'll go.

Gin gets some jewellery out and makes some fall on the floor on purpose. The thug falls for the trap, he bends to get it and Gin brings a gun out and tells him to drop his gun and keep his head down, otherwise the last thing he'll see is his brain on the wall. LOL

Esteban calls the thugs cowards and asks with what right they do this. The thugs hit him on his head. 

Gin asks the thug who sent them multiple times. He doesn't reply.

Esteban manages to break free and hits the thug. Another one tries to shoot Esteban, but shoots the other thug instead. 

Paz goes to leave when Gala sees her. She says she came here to ask her about the lobster and admits she heard her throw up. Gala says she ate something that made her feel sick. For some reason, she hides her phone.

Esteban calls someone called Castro and tells him to come and alert the police IIRC. (I think at some point Gin called her brother too.)

Gin asks the thug if they're Rubio's people, but he still doesn't reply. I was so sure she had planned this...

Luna is applying lipstick on Vermin's face when his phone rings. It's Mauro, who wants to talk about work. I have to say, way to look professional:

Some thug shoots Esteban in the arm. He and Gin meet and run in a secret room and Gin presses the emergency gas button. The gas knocks the thugs out and they say the police are coming. She sees his shot hand, but he asks her if she's hurt. She's not (unfortunately). He says no one will hurt her and they hug.

And with that tense situation, we have the Fin del Capítulo...
