Caray, Caray!

Paz and Mireya talk on the phone, with Ginebra and Mauro listening. Mauro shows himself to Mireya and grabs her arm. Is she spying on him, what does she truly want?

He manhandles her a little, she admits she has been following him because she suspects… he’s married and is only playing with her.

I’m impressed, this woman can think on her feet!

She plans to leave, but he grabs her again. She starts talking about her ex cheating and then abandoning her, no other man will ever do that to her. His strange phone calls, he never wants to share details about his life, she needs to know he isn’t hiding anything. Mauro says he’s a free man, but what he finds odd is the fact that she’d be so curious about his life. Mireya says it’s because she likes him and she can’t stop thinking about him. And she goes in for a passionate, “my life is depending on it” kiss. Which is great, because her life is actually depending on her managing to fool Mauro.

After they make out for a while, they are both shake by their kiss. He didn’t see this coming, she thinks they shouldn’t move so fast (kind of late for that, Miss “I spy with my little eye”). She asks what is he doing in this place.

Mauro actually says the truth (sort of), he got a tip about a little girl with his niece’s features being taken out of a hospital, and he came to check it out around here because he heard abandoned kids live here. If this is common knowledge, why don’t all parents who lost their kids come by to visit, it could be like a lost kids market, find yours, get a second one for free.

Anyway, Mauro is desperate to find Samara (Monito is hiding behind a tree, listening), but he can’t tell Ginebra, it would cause her too much pain. He apologizes for getting violent, this is such a hard time, he feels like he can’t trust anyone. Some guy arrives to say they didn’t find any child. Mireya says out loud that she will try to trust him. Mauro will do the same.

After Mireya was discovered by Mauro and hung up, Paz tries to call her back in a panic, then wants to leave the kitchen, but Ginebra shows up.

Whatever is the matter, I heard you on the phone, you sounded worried, is everything OK with your sister? Paz looks scared. Gin heard her mention a little girl, who was she talking about? Come on, you know you can trust me, she adds, we share the same pain, we both lost children yada yada yada.

This gives Paz a way out, she rambles that her sister was telling her the women group found a little girl and her ex-husband got excited thinking it could have be the little girl they lost.

Of course Gin realizes Paz is lying, because she very well knows Vermin could not get excited over anything, since he knows where his daughter is. But she plays along, asking Paz if her husband is dangerous, because she heard her mention danger on the phone. Yes, Paz admits, he used to hit her when they were together, he can get very violent.

It’s interesting to see them try to fool one another, but Gin has the upper hand, because of her connection to Vermin.

Ginebra expresses how sorry she feels for Paz’ situation, goes as far as touching her shoulder to show her “sympathy”, but they get interrupted by Esteban. He’s surprised to find Gin at his house (wonder why, she practically leaves there now). She says she was waiting for him to say good-bye, Paz was telling her about almost finding her daughter. Esteban had no clue, Paz has to lie to him, too, saying it all proved to be a false alarm, like so many times before. Ginebra understands this so well, she is going through the same thing and drowning in desperation because of it.

Pepa and Bosco start their tutoring lesson. He notices some of Bosco’s art, says he also loves, he and Bosco almost bond over using art to express themselves. Then Pepa compares fencing to math, how angles are important when attacking. This seems to be working out pretty well. Color me surprised.

Lupita is planning to go sell her coffee and Luna would like to go with her since she’s bored at home, but she can’t come outside. Poor kid. Salomon offers to spend time with her, while fixing the fridge. Lupita plans to talk with Gema and her aunt, fix the restaurant problems.

Alone with Salo, Luna says she feels like they are her family.

Gala is in her room when Esteban arrives, wanting to talk about his father hating him. Gala tries to cheer him up, Esteban actually tells her grandpa used his rifle to make him leave.

Luna is on the front steps of the house, playing “outside, inside” with Cobija, asks Salomon to take them out for a little bit. He says they can’t for now, but they can go on the rooftop to watch the clouds.

Gala calls Salo, overhears Luna speak, he says it was just some girl on the street. Gala wants another fake date, this time at her house. Salo is game, it will just take him a while to get there.

Luna asks Sal if he’s in love, he’s not, love takes time.

Lupita is selling her coffee jars. She then goes to talk to Gema’s aunt, they need to open their restaurant. The aunt says they need to follow the law, Lupita accuses her of punishing them because of what happened between Gema and Salomon.

Gala is throwing away some tea bags and then drinks the potion she created. Nobody can make her feel less then, she says to her mirror image. I wish she actually believed it.

Her friend tells her Bosco asked her out on a date.

Paz and Esteban are in the kitchen, he spoke to people working for his dad and they told him his father is doing better, but he’s still worried.

He’d like to focus his energy on something else, though, he wants to talk to Rubio again. Paz wants to do the same.

Bosco and Pepa arrive to say their lesson was OK, at the very least they didn’t kill one another.

Ginebra (who still hasn’t left the house) tells Elvira she felt uncomfortable with Esteban’s interdiction to have Gala and Bosco confront Rubio. They are no longer kids, what if they took Bosco to see the guy behind Esteban’s back? Elvira has the decency to look shocked.

Flashback to a pregnant Ginebra telling Mauro how she’s setting up her plan to kill Berenice who is on vacation at the beach. She found out she is diabetic, she will use that. She’d love to kill Bere herself, since her sister had everything that she lacked, but she could get noticed, especially in her condition. There is a man with them, we don’t see his face, but Gin gives him very precise instructions: film everything, especially Elvira’s pain when she finds out her beloved daughter is dead; leave a suicide letter; kill Berenice when she is alone, make sure that she’s really dead; tell her it’s her sister ordering her killing right before she dies.

Back to present time, she asks Elvira about the small box that she’s carrying. Elvira shows Ginebra the gold baby rattle, the only thing she has from her first baby. She held onto it, wanting to give it to her daughter and explain why they were not together. Elvira remembers playing with her baby in the past, while Ginebra tells her that she hopes she will one day have the chance to see her daughter. And she plays with the rattle.

Mireya is home and would like to ask Luna about Monito. Luna starts describing him, Mireya thinks she knows where he is. Luna begs to be taken to see him, but that can’t be done, especially not while Paz is not around. Salo says Luna is bored, Mireya refuses to take Luna can’t go back to that place. Lupita points out that place is dangerous for everyone, not only for a child. Luna begs them to go back for Monito, tell him she’s still her friend.

Esteban and Paz arrive to see Rubio. She asks about her baby, he says he has no clue what she’s talking about. I must have missed some scenes, but I’m wondering, when did they decide that Rubio took her baby, too? All he did was ruin her baby shower. And have they established a timeline? There were a lot of witnesses of Rubio being in the barrio at the party around the same time he supposedly killed Berenice.

Esteban asks about Berenice, Rubio proudly admits he did kill her. Esteban asks how many insulin shots he used, he says he doesn’t remember. Nor does he remember what she was wearing. What about the suicide note? Why did you write it in YOUR handwriting? Rubio says he wanted people to know that she was killed.

Esteban is startled, this was a trap, because the letter was written by Berenice (flashback of Ginebra’s goon forcing Berenice to write a suicide letter). He now knows Rubio is lying. He asks him how could he fake his wife’s handwriting? He never trusted in her suicide, Rubio’s just an infeliz who dumped the letter on her body. Yeah, Rubio says, he wanted the whole thing to be more dramatic. Another trap, since the letter was found on the bed (and another flashback of Berenice).

Esteban insists someone paid Rubio to kill his wife, who was it? Rubio denies everything.

Finally home Ginebra tells Mauro she’s certain Elvira will confess soon enough she is her daughter. She needs to get closer to her before that arrives, get to Esteban and get more control over the company. Elvira needs to leave the entire fortune to her.

Ginebra is giddy to say she always fantasized  about Berenice’s fear when she realized she was going to die.

Flashback to Berenice being forced to write her suicide note and then being threatened with a gun while she begs for her life. The mysterious man injects her the insulin.

In the present Mauro says that was the moment Ginebra really took things too far, but she’s not impressed, since that was not even the first time she’d killed someone. Mauro insists this was her sister, it’s different. Yeah, but she hates the fact that they share the same blood, she will never get over the fact that her sister lived in luxury, while she was in the street, eating trash. Does Mauro remember what they were forced to do by their adoptive parents? He does. Then let her be happy with other people’s suffering, Berenice was to happy with her kids and family, she needed to put an end to that.

Mauro is done with this conversation, he needs to go see Rubio. Ginebra will see him soon enough, better be prepared.

Nandy and Kenzo are at the company, she’s learning how to work on the tablet. He apologizes for Felipa’s behavior, she says he’s always defended her, no need to apologize. She tries to stay professional, keep the distance. He’d like to know when she realized she was a woman.

She says it happened gradually, she liked dresses, wearing make-up, she didn’t know what was happening, she felt guilty. And her family was completely against it, it was so hard to defend her way of being.

Kenzo admires her so much for defending herself, and he will be by her side from now on. Does she want to legally change her name also?

Since he won’t talk about her baby, Paz asks Rubio about Ginebra’s daughter, she wants to help her. Did he organize the kidnapping and killed Gin’s husband? Esteban asks him where he is keeping the child, is she alive? Then he gets mad, Rubio is taken away while Esteban get more furious. Paz promises him Samara is alive and nobody will hurt her.

When they leave the prison Paz is disappointed, thinks they wasted their time confronting Rubio, but Esteban tells her he proved Rubio is lying, he contradicted himself. Bere did write that letter and it was found on the bed. Rubio wasn’t there when Berenice was killed. There was another thing. When he and Ginebra were attacked, she said she saw one of the guys who killed her husband, Rubio is definitely covering for someone else.

As Mauro notices them hug but is too far to hear them, Esteban adds that someone is plotting against all of them. Mauro takes a picture of the hug.

Felipa has an idea about how to use the money and she tells Ginebra they could go into real estate, move the money around. Ginebra guesses that Felipa is looking for a gain for herself. They are at Felipa’s home, and Ginebra is impressed with all the equipment Jeronimo has. They could use his followers, swindle money out of them. But Jeronimo can never find out. Felipa doesn’t say no.

She then receives a photo of the hug from Mauro, the proof she needed something is going on between Esteban and the estupida cocinera. Felipa points out that she is friends with the estupida gata, why don’t they mess with them?

Ginebra says she won’t mess with Paz, she will eliminate her. A lady who knows what she wants… Yikes!
