Caray, Caray!

Paz isn’t sure she and Fermin should take full responsibility. Humberto states the obvious, the Roble family DID commit the crime. He and Esteban start quarrelling (not the time, dudes), but Paz eventually agrees with Hum’s plan. Too many people have already suffered, at the very least they will be safe. Esteban disagrees but stands by her.

Then Hum instructs Paz to start saying that she never knew Sam’s true identity, it’s important for their strategy. Esteban insists he will check to see if this plan is legit.

Mireya and Lupita find a woman (Emy?) who decides to protect them in jail. She does it for the money, she realized they are well connected.

When they are alone, Esteban protests against Hum’s strategy to have Paz take all the blame. At the very least he hopes Hum will be ready for trial. And he kind of implies that Hum doesn’t have the entire story about him and Porfirio not speaking.

Elvira and her grandkids talk about breakfast, she is ruining the whole experience for Eder, who used to love this moment when his mom was alive. The kid is in tears, he and his siblings think their family is broken and they will defend Paz just like their father is. Has yaya never made a mistake? Eder would rather be punished than eat with her. So does Bosco and Gala calls her closed off and archaic. How could her mom Berenice stand her is a mystery.

Gin is upset Hum is defending the Roble family, she now wants to kill them all. Mauro warns her this is not the time or place to start killing people, they need to be more subtle than that.

Vermin is out of lockup just in time to admire Pepa and Nandy’s jail mural (this could be a business). The boys and Nandy explain to Kenzo why they despise Vermin, how Rubio has been harassing them for years  about repaying Vermin's debts. Since they are all in jail now, those seem like simpler times, huh? But for now, they all decide to stand together.

Paz, Mireya and Lupita talk about Mauro maybe hiring that woman to protect them. Mireya and Lupita are worried about Hum’s plan, but Paz is confident. Emy shows up to say two guys paid for their protection, soon enough she will take them to the jail kitchen. Why? Not clear yet.

Esteban tells Hum and Porfirio about his plan to use Monito to investigate. And like in every scene they share, he and Porfirio get personal and start fighting and accusing one another. Hum tells them to stop the cock fight, Esteban once again mentions how Porfirio chose Hum over him. Porfirio makes it clear that he chose his cousin over him because he’s not a fake, he actually dirties his hands with hard work.  Esteban is starting to get on my nerves, holding onto his rage and making it all about him when he should be thanking them for coming to help willingly. Hum points out that they have to be sneaky about the whole thing, you can’t fight the Devil by being a nice guy. Why not seduce Ginebra?

Felipa is explaining to Gin about Jeronimo’s cryptocurrency (and this part of her plan is a big question mark for me, so I'm choosing to move on). Her bio son is proving useful, Gin adds. But Jero won’t do anything else if Kenzo is not out of jail. Gin agrees, she doesn’t need him in jail for her plan to work. What she does need is for Felipa to start seducing Humberto. Whaaat?

Monito is more than willing to help Esteban, who hands him a cell phone.

In jail Vermin and the guys notice that nobody is attacking them anymore, could Gala be the one paying for their protection?

Esteban has told Gala about Hum’s plan to seduce Gin. Really? 19 might be legally adult, but still! She thinks it’s a good idea, he has a hard time with it. And if he does do it, he has to be astute about it, he can’t just show up with flowers. And what will he tell Paz? Gala suggests he pretend to be an actor. They talk about being away from the people they love and then talk about what it feels like to be in love. Esteban says he’ll never feel for another woman what he felt for Berenice, but what he feels for Paz is very strong also. There is no recipe for love.  

Paz, Mireya and Lupita ar seated at a table and Emy is mocking them, while saying they can eat without a worry, their food is safe. Lupita is crying, Paz tries to reassure her they will soon be able to cook together again. Crying turns to laughing, they start talking about some funny stuff that happened while the girls were small. They end up in a tearful hug. It might not be a lot, but this scene brought a tear to my eye, also. Sniff…

Jero calls Gala to tell her about the crypto currency, but she’s not sure she wants to get involved. He says she could use the money from this to help Jero.

Hum arrives at jail to tell the guys some of them will be free today. Kenzo doesn’t want to leave and abandon Nandy. Hum explains he’s trying to take them out one by one and Vermin promises to help Nandy. Also, he’ll be of more help on the outside.

Lupita leaves the jail, also, after saying goodbye to her daughters. Gala and Porfirio are waiting for her outside since Esteban couldn’t make it. Porfirio is actually nice to her.

Esteban and Monito & Cobija have come to visit Ginebra. He says he hasn’t come to accuse her, but to understand her point of view. Look him in the eye and tell him what she feels if she’s innocent. He brought dinner, he’d like to talk, and Monito would like to see Samara.

She arrives just on cue, and Monito offers the stuffed toy to Samara and both kids leave the room. Gin agrees to eat together. Paz would probably feel more betrayed by the fact that Esteban has brought food for Gin (since food is her thing) than by the two of them actually sharing  a meal. Hehe. 

Esteban is preparing cheese fondue (seriously), while they talk about Ginebra’s frustration and pain over losing her daughter and Esteban wanting to help her. He hands her a wine glass; she caresses his hand and asks for a hug. He complies.

Paz is happy her mom is out, she trusts that Hum’s strategy will work and is thankful for Esteban’s help. She tells Mireya they can maybe win over the people in here by cooking for them.

Monito and Sam play together, Cobija barks, she’s jealous of the new toy (cute). Samara says Ginebra is showing that she loves her, but she misses Paz and her family.

Lupita arrives in the barrio to find her home scribbled with “malditas criminals”. Gema and her aunt come to quarrel, Gala and Porfirio support Lupita while she tells them to go away.

Then Gema tells Gala that she’s pregnant with Sal’s baby. Smart girl Gala isn’t sure Sal is the father, and it’s not like she cares, since she and Sal were never truly an item.

Fuego speaks to Elvira about his feelings again. He overheard her tell the kids she could never fall for someone inferior to her. She explains she was talking about Ginebra’s father, but Fuego has had enough. He no longer wants to grovel at her feet, he understands that status will always come first for her. He’s thinking about resigning, but she says she needs him. He says he’ll stay, but his position has become abundantly clear to him. He leaves the room and Elvira starts to weep. That’s a first!

Lupita and Porfirio talk about her pain at having her entire family in jail. He says there is no need for her to prepare him tea, he’s worried about leaving her alone in this house, she might be attacked. Lupita thinks the barrio will be on her side, but he insists she go with him. Lupita says she’s used to dealing alone with problems ever since she lost her husband many years ago. Porfirio offers his help and his honest friendship.

The guys talk about Hum’s plan to get everyone but Vermin and Paz out. Kenzo tells Nandy that he will be able to get out soon, but he doesn’t want to. Nandy insists he has to go out, be with his kids and he promises to help Esteban set them free.

Still eating, Gin asks Esteban how he could ever fall for Paz. He remembers Porfirio’s suggestion to be smooth, and says he only wants to understand what is going on, investigate the truth. He will still defend Paz and her family, he hired his cousin to do so, but he’d like to know Gin better, know about her and Mauro’s life.

Gin asks what his endgame is, he says he just wants to know the real her.

Mireya is worried about her boys, she can’t even imagine how Paz is living without Maria. Paz says she’s proud of the mother’s her sister has become. As for her, every day is a new struggle, a mix of emotions: hope, pain and the faith that God will bring her daughter to her.

Monito tells Samara his plan to spy in the house, prove if she is loved or not in the house. But she has to keep it a secret. Samara is scared, but agrees.

Mauro arrives in the barrio and asks Gala to see Lupita. He tells the old lady he wants to help Mireya. He has to stand by his sister, but he can’t abandon Mireya, because he will keep seeing her. Lupita slaps him.
