Caray, Caray!

Ginebra can’t believe Mauro loves Samara, that recogida. She realizes she can’t kill her anymore (darn); she will have to make society think she is a loving mother. And of course she will use this opportunity to go against Paz, also, she “stole” her little girl and Esteban will despise her for that.

Gin wonders about what Samara might remember, she might ruin them. Mauro is afraid the Roble family suspect him, he even thinks Paz saved Sam from that attack a while back. Gin wonders why would Paz keep Sam hidden if she doesn’t know she’s her real mother. They both agree they need to come out smelling like roses out of this. And Gin is still set on marrying Esteban and steal everything from his family. This will be her revenge against Elvira, robbing her of everything she has. It was because of her that she had to sell her body and she had to kill.

Mauro thinks they need to stop Paz before she gets to marry Esteban and Gin is determined to do just that, she has become her mortal enemy.

Esteban is showing his kids how to milk a cow. Then it’s their turn to try and they all enjoy it. Esteban talks about country life not being easy, then shows them some farm animals. When they feed a horse Gala wants to film it, but Esteban says no, they need to live this moment just for themselves, know about their origins.

The abuelo still wants them gone, but he’s prepared them a nice meal in the meantime. Gala is still reluctant to eat, Eder loves the food almost as much as he loves Paz’ cooking. Porfirio notices how close she’s gotten to the family, Bosco says he and the abuela don’t like them.

The Roble are talking about the mess they are in. They wonder if Gin really wanted to harm her daughter. They speculate about everything that has happened, wonder about Mauro’s involvement and are still doubting Ginebra could be behind everything.

Speaking of the Evil Devil, Paz receives a text from our favorite black widow, who’d like to meet with her. She’s frantic.

Fuego (formerly known as Fogo/ Fobo, but he’s too hot for those silly no-names) has found out about the story of the little girl who ended up in a hospital without any ID, he thinks she might be Gin’s daughter. Elvira gets excited, but Fuego has a bigger piece of news: he managed to track down Ginebra’s biological father. Elvira is almost as excited as the Patio is getting, where is Ricardo? Dead (boohoo), her father paid for the burial (does that mean he also killed him?).

Elvira gets frustrated about the whole thing, what was the point of that mysterious phone call then? How will she be able to protect her daughter Ginebra? She tries to remove a strand of hair from her face, but it gets tangled in her earring. Fuego gives her a helping hand, he gets awfully close to untangle her hair and to whisper that he will protect her (I guess he means Ginebra, but I’m not sure, because I’m like: “oh, you’re so pretty, touch my hair next”).

Elvira pushes him away, but he says he knows she feels the same as he does, he sees it in her eyes. He loves her. She slaps him, forbids him to mention this ever again.

She can no longer trust men. Her first love, Ginebra’s father, used to work for her father. He made her trust him, turned her against her father. But he only used her, wanted her money. Fuego says he’d never do that, but she disagrees. She’s been complaining about Esteban and Paz, she can’t be that much of a hypocrite. Besides, he’s much younger.

Fuego offers to resign, but she won’t accept it, she’d rather have him close, he knows all of her secrets.

It's time to leave the country and Esteban assures Porfirio they won’t come back again.

Enter man on a horse, riding like his life depended on it (or a good telenovela entrance). Eder is the first to see him, then Porfirio hugs him and… meet Humberto, two days old beard, cowboy hat and an attitude. Porfirio calls him “son”.

The guy has a scratch on one of his perfect biceps, he had to break up a fight in a neighboring ranch (because of course he did).

He mocks Esteban about his fancy clothes, says he’s happy to have met his nephews, but kind of mocks them, too… When Esteban defends them, he calls him too sensitive. Humberto has to leave, he has something to take care of, Esteban wants to help, he’s still part of this ranch.

Ginebra is at the support group with a big picture of Samara, asking the women to try to remember her daughter’s lovely face. Can Paz remember if the girl she saw a while back was her? Oh, their children are their most precious treasure.

By the way, Ginebra suddenly remembers to ask, how did Paz find that little boy? She does plan to return him to his mom, right? Or did they all save Monito from violent parents?

One of the other moms explains to Ginebra that Paz saved Monito from the street, and Paz adds that she failed to explain to Gin the entire story of Monito, because she is in several groups and another one of these groups helped her. The other mom adds that she saved him from an aquatic park and I finally get what is going on. Paz is being caught in a lie, but Ginebra plays along, she hopes Paz told the police about Monito, it would be terrible to be accused of having kidnapped him.

Paz explains that she’s afraid his parents might be violent, Gin asks what proof she has that they are. The other women think she can get herself into problems, Gin understands Paz, but she thinks she’s wrong, and when another mom suggests that she’s trying to replace ger daughter with Monito Gin “defends” her, saying that she’s certain Paz will do the right thing.

All through this “touching” conversation” Paz looks like she’s about to throw up.

Kenzo and Nandy have a hard time explaining what a trans is to Samara. Nandy finally says being trans means feeling different than what you look like. Kenzo is impressed by Nandy’s simple explanation, Samara appears to get it immediately, she even apologizes for having asked. This is the perfect child.

Humberto tells Porfirio that he agreed to allow Esteban to help because he’s surely bored with his life and he will see soon enough how life is around here.

The kids tell Esteban that he shouldn’t allow Humberto to humiliate him. They say they can live their life without these people, but Esteban wants to take this on.

Porfirio thinks the kids want to go, but Gala and Eder would like to spend time with him.

Left alone, Humberto and Esteban start their pissing contest.

Esteban asks why he wasn’t around when dad felt bad. Humberto explains it was not the first time the old man has health issues, he drinks too much coffee, doesn’t sleep enough… Esteban asks why he calls him “son”, this is not his place. Humberto doesn’t see the harm in it, he’s his nephew and just to let Esteban know, he oversees everything.

If Esteban wants to prove he can still handle farm work, how about they start with a horse ride competition? Off they go!

Paz is alone, crying and remembering her pregnancy. She has hope she will one day meet her daughter, she will never stop searching for her.

Lupita arrives at the hotel with toys for Sam. She was careful to take three cabs on her way here, it’s her turn to stay with Sam while Nandy leaves. She feels bad, she feels like a criminal, but they are all doing this for Sam.

Ginebra comes to talk to Salomon’s ex, she’d like to know more about what she said the other day – Paz and her family were searching for a little girl. Can she count on her, she asks and shows her a stash of money.

At the Villa, Paz and the family are preparing tacos. Kenzo has bought them all new cells and left them with Pepa. Elvira finds them using her kitchen and asks them all to leave the house until the night.

Eder loved the tractors, but Gala is upset Porfirio is not very welcoming, they were very nice to him when he came to their house. Porfirio says he’d like to know them better, Gala explains tiktok to him and how it works and then Gala and Eder dance for him. Abuelo doesn’t like it, he’d rather they stop and listen to the birds singing.

Paz and the boys are in the barrio, trying to sell their tacos. After Paz leaves them alone, Sal gives Pepa a box, don’t know what, but it means something for the two of them, Sal gave him the same thing when their dad left.

Mireya has come by her house and here is Mauro, asking if she had forgotten something the other day, since she left in such a hurry. She gets scared, but he only meant … a nice necklace with a bottle shaped pendant, that contains an elixir… a magic potion that made him change the way he saw women. Their love is like this, strong, dangerous…She is scared and excited at the same time.

Esteban and Humberto are now talking about the ranch problems, Humber suspects that someone contaminated the river with pesticide, apparently there are two other ranchers who found the issue on their lands. Now it’s his turn to verify.  We find out he’s a lawyer, he thought legal studies might help him settle land disputes down the line.

He goes to the river, takes a water sample and tests it right away. He’s upset when it is confirmed that the water is infected.

Later he confronts some guy called Crisanto, who didn’t inform the proper authorities about what was happening on his lands. Esteban says he’s also risking people’s lives, he could end up in jail. Humberto doesn’t want to take things this far, he thinks Crisanto could cover the losses. The guy agrees, but don’t ask to much money…

Ginebra is talking with Felipa about their cryptocurrency plan. She needs to find a way to make Gala accept to work with her.

As Felipa leaves, Vermin arrives and Ginebra tells him she wants to get him involved in the Monito situation. They need to “diversify” their affairs, and Monito could be a good test.

Vermin refuses to do it, he already sold his daughter years ago, she will suffer if her little friend goes missing. Ginebra reminds him he is in her power, he will have to do what he’s told.

Elvira is now with her lawyer, who hasn’t found out if Rubio was working with someone else. She asks him to investigate Paz, she is surely involved with Rubio.

Paz calls Lupita on her new cell and Sam wants to talk to her. They miss each other so much. Paz would like to be able to sell tacos with Sam. They are both sad they can’t meet, Paz cries even.

Esteban doesn’t understand why Humberto doesn’t want Crisanto to pay for his crimes, but Humber says that not all crimes are the same, this guy has had a lot of problems lately.

Esteban thinks Humber is taking too many liberties, he shouldn’t be handling his father’s affairs. But Humber doesn’t agree, he thinks Esteban is too strict, he sees life in black and white only, he should loosen up. They start quarrelling, almost fight, Humber thinks Esteban has become to weak, he’s no longer a Vila de Cortes. Esteban can’t hear this, he’s still his father’s son, his only son and that’s what Humber must hate so much.

We find out they have always been in a competition, ever since Humberto first arrived. Esteban wants to help them handle this problem.

Later he’s leaving with his family, Porfirio thinks the kids wouldn’t survive here. Esteban agrees the kids have their place in the city, but they could be welcomed here, too. He’s upset when Humberto call Porfirio “dad”. Gala is upset they were so badly received, even Bosco feels sad. When Eder says a word in English, Porfirio doesn’t understand it or like it.

Esteban feels bad his father doesn’t appreciate their love, but he won’t forget his origins. If he ever changes his mind, he knows where his grandchildren and his “real” son are.
