Caray, Caray!

Sorry this is belated, I had some trouble but I sorted it out.

We open with the kinda inappropriate hug Paz gives Esteban. She apologises, saying she doesn't know what she was thinking. She saw him crying and just hugged him, it broke her heart seeing him like this. Esteban, devastated, tells her not to worry, the truth is he needed that hug. 

Paz's family arrive at the company. Is Nandy part of the family? She's there too and sees Kenzo. She tells the rest about her "very good friend". Kenzo shows them the meeting (?) room.

Paz sees a picture of Berenice and says "you really miss her, right?" Esteban confirms it but says that wasn't why he was crying. He explains that Berenice did NOT commit suicide and his mother in law found a fake video with him being the culprit, but he hasn't done anything! Paz is shocked and instantly believes him. Esteban adds that she hates him and wants to get his kids away from him.

Of course, the next scene is with Elvira. She's unpacking and sees a small box in her suitcase. I don't know exactly what it has inside, it looks like the outside of the object is made of gold. I'm confused. Elvira smells it and says "it has lost your smell". A tear falls from Elvira's face as she says "I'm always going to miss you".

Gala, Bosco and the small kid who's name is Eder, I think, are presented to Paz's family by Kenzo. There will be a gastronomical presentation. Yay, FOOD! Salomon is eyeing Gala with a Joey Tribbiani "how you doin'?" look and she just smiles awkwardly.

Paz tells Esteban it took her seconds to realise he's a good man, he'll get his innocence proven! Esteban says the video is driving him crazy, he doesn't want his kids to see it, it'll break their hearts. Paz tells him his kids are going to believe him, but if his mother in law hates him he has to come up with a plan, she may go to the police. Esteban says he knows, he has to prove his innocence for his children.

Monito brings Sam/Luna to some neighborhood. He tells her to never, EVER approach the police for anything. He grabs her hand and gets her to some place where some men are throwing bread at some other children to eat. Monito tells them about Sam/Luna and how she'll come with them.

Ginebra, holding her "daughter's" bunny, cries in front if the press that are in her house about her daughter disappearing. She goes on and on about wanting to hug her and stuff and I just want to give her a good old telenovela cachetada. She even offers money to whoever finds her. The reporter next to her says this is just one of many cases of kids disappearing (I had no clue it was so common in Mexico) and says they should contact them if they have any information. Mauro is looking at her like he's thinking "how evil can she possibly be" and "well, I knew she's this evil" at the same time.

The dudes Monito talked to suddenly are obsessed with cutting poor Sam/Luna's hair. Monito, who obviously wasn't expecting this, cries and tells them to let her go. First Ginebra, now them, what's next?!

Paz meets Esteban's kids. Cute. Then, it's Paz's time to make a proposal: she says they take the businessmen to eat in the barrio, in some specific place I didn't catch. Gala thinks it's not a good idea but Esteban approves, so now it's decided!

Vermin (I'm keeping it) gets some clothes when Rubio approaches him and asks for his money. Vermin says he just came out of prison, to which Rubio replies "what do you want me to do, hug you? You owe me money!" LOL Vermin then has the nerve to say that his family has been paying for the last six years. Rubio laughs and says that what his wife has given him isn't enough. Vermin, defeated, says that he'll get a job and pay him back. Rubio agrees, but he wants it fast. He hits him in the head and Vermin falls to the ground. He remembers Mauro giving him the money and it being gone as people pass by, not helping him. I'm glad.

The food is served. I'm glad I've eaten lunch, because everything looks delicious and I'd otherwise get hungry. Esteban comments on the excellent taste and Paz smiles and adds that his son Eder "es de buen diente", (literally: "he's of good tooth"). Eder doesn't know the expression and says that he teeth haven't fallen yet or something and Paz smiles and says it's an expression. After a Google search, I found out it's used in Mexico for someone who eats a lot. Mireya (Paz's sister) whispers to their mother about love passing through the stomach.

Back to the sad: the dudes thankfully HAVEN'T cut ALL of Sam/Luna's hair off. The dude who cut her hair says she needs to start stealing. She doesn't want to, she says stealing is wrong. Monito offers to let him do it and she can just help or something like that. The dude says that today's the testing day to see whether or not she can stay here. Poor kid.

Gala is apparently one of these Instagram - Tik Tok girls. She's live (?) on some platform asking her followers to help her chose some outfit. As she's describing the outfit she'd like, she spots Salomon. IIRC she stops the live before talking to him. She asks him if he's following her and he hits on her. Gala is not really interested in eating tacos with him and tells him he has to try harder. Salomon then goes like "princess of social media, would you like to go out and eat ice cream with me?" LOOOL Gala turns down that one too and Salomon, in classic Salomon fashion, hits on some woman who's working in the clothes store they're in, asking her what she's doing after work. Gala laughs and leaves. The whole was actually hilarious, in a good way. We need comic relief.

Nancy tells Kenzo she has some songs the businessmen won't be able to resist to dance to. She puts one on and starts dancing. Kenzo laughs and she tells him to move and not just stand there like a mummy LOL. He says he has two left feet ("tengo dos pies izquierdos", the translation is the same as the English expression), but Nancy just grabs him and shows him some steps. They dance together. 

Bosco brings a present for his dad, who's busy, so his secretary tells him to leave the gift on the table. I have a bad feeling about this. Bosco goes to get Eder to show him the present. Paz's other nephew, I keep forgetting his name, comes and sees Salomon from some camera panel or whatever it's called. He quickly hides the camera panel with a "welcome" poster. Unfortunately, as he goes to leave, he breaks the gift. Bosco arrives with Eder and is NOT happy. He calls Paz's nephew an idiot, he apologises but Bosco is very angry. He says something like "the gift represents my mom" and Paz's nephew makes a comment on his mom being more mature than him, IIRC, not knowing she has died. Bosco informs him and they get into a physical fight. Esteban pops up and asks them what happened.

Mireya asks Paz to tell the truth, does she like Don Esteban as a man? Paz freezes and looks at her mom, who gives her a look.

Sam/Luna says at some point that Cobija has more hair than she does. I just LOVE that she brings Cobija everywhere she goes. Monito tells her the plan: she'll have to distract the people carrying bags with them in order for him to steal their purse and then run. Sam/Luna still doesn't want to do it, but I don't think the girl has a choice.

Ginebra walks victoriously towards her brother, saying she's so glad the girl isn't here. With a mocking voice, she goes "Mommy, why don't you love me?" and laughs. Mauro gives a forced smile and says everything is ready for Elías's funeral. Ginebra actually says she'll get exhausted by pretending she's crying so much!!! After some moments, Elvira somehow is outside of their house and says she met her at the event and her story moved her. 

Paz says Don Esteban is a very good man, but she sees him as a boss. She adds about the difference in social classes. Her mom says love doesn't care about social classes as Paz's phone rings, it's Esteban. She picks it up and Esteban tells her about her other cousin, who's apparently called Pepa (from Pedro Pablo) and Bosco getting into a fight. She tells her mom and sister. No offence or anything but... Pepa? Really? They had one job and they failed.

Elvira tells Ginebra she understands exactly how she feels. Ginebra asks her if she has also lost a daughter; Elvira confirms it!!! (Who could it be? Any bets?) 

Bosco is still mad about the broken statue thing. Esteban tries to get them to stop fighting. Paz and her family arrive. Bosco seems pretty determined not to forgive Pepa; he leaves.

The kids put their plan into action, but unfortunately, Monito falls as he's trying to steal the bag. The woman screams for the police and tells a police officer about the almost theft. The kids run as fast as they can. 

Esteban asks Bosco to apologise to Paz but he doesn't want to. Paz says it's alright, if Bosco doesn't want to say it it's fine. 

Mireya talks to Pepa and he admits he accidentally did it because he was trying to hide the cameras that showed Salomon hitting on some gal. Mireya screams at Salomon that he already put their family in trouble. Salomon doesn't say anything.

Sam/Luna and Monito run as fast as they can. They hide under a truck and they manage not to get caught.

Elvira tells Ginebra she can use all her resources to find her daughter. Ginebra obviously wasn't expecting that. Elvira invites to her company's event tomorrow but Ginebra says it'll be hard to come before of her husband's funeral. Elvira hugs Ginebra. Mauro sees this and he and Ginebra exchange a look. After Elvira leaves, Mauro asks her how she felt when she saw Elvira and she replies "hate, the most intense hate". Okay, I'm betting Ginebra is Elvira's lost daughter now.

Bosco is still bratty as he goes to bed, Eder does the same (except from the bratty part). Elvira arrives and asks Esteban why he changed the place of the event. He actually replies "because I can" and she tells him to change it back. He says all the invitations have been already sent. Elvira insists, but Gala, who's there, says she agrees with her dad and manages to convince Elvira. She calls her "yaya" again, interesting.

Mireya scolds her sons, especially Salomon, about today's mess. Salomon promises not to mess anything up on the grand event. They all start cooking when Vermin enters. Paz drags him away and he actually has the nerve to say that he thinks there's something going on between her and her boss and he doesn't like that! I hope Mireya teleports outside and slaps him again. Paz tells him he's just her boss and it's none of his business.

Elvira and Esteban have another fight over Berenice's murder. Esteban points out that in the fake video, Berenice was wearing a red dress and shows her the closet in which he keeps all her dresses, no red ones. Elvira says he could have burnt it. At some point she even pushes him and asks him to admit it. He says he won't admit something he didn't do. It doesn't end well, as it usually does. 

The dude, who's nickname is Gorila, almost throws Sam/Luna out after he hears they didn't manage to pickpocket anything. Monito saves her once again.

The next day we have the big fiesta: Elvira is her usual snobbish self, Esteban his usual loving self, Paz her usual happy excited self. Pepa and Bosco have yet to make up after their fight. Salomon hasn't managed to make Gala interested and they insult each other about being boring. Esteban tells Kenzo to contact their lawyers, he's sure Elvira will go to the police. 

Ginebra actually arrives, with her brother by her side. Paz talks to her, saying she can identify with her, she has also lost her child. Mauro seems interested in Mireya. After some accident with the tacos, Mireya notices Vermin and shoos him out. Unfortunately, Mauro also spots Vermin. Uh oh.

The party/presentation/whatever is going great, until the police arrive. Way to ruin the mood. They arrest Esteban as he screams that he'll prove his innocence.

He's in a cell now, still saying he'll prove his innocence to Kenzo.

Elvira tells the kids about the video. They don't believe it and Eder starts crying.

Monito gives a pear to Sam/Luna. Awww.

In the last scene of the episode, Monito and Sam/Luna are walking and talking about Sam/Luna asking for money. Paz is walking that way too and after Monito goes somewhere else, she and her actual daughter meet each other for the first time. Paz looks like she gets a call of the blood. Sam/Luna extends her arm to ask for money.

And with the first mother-daughter meet up, we have the Fin del Capítulo.
