Caray, Caray!

This episode could have an alternative title of "What where they expecting?"

We begin with Gin telling Esteban to call Paz and read this card she wrote to her.

Pepa has finished making the website (Wordpress, I assume?). Humb talks to Paz about placing the "se busca" signs in key parts of the town when...

Esteban calls Paz to read her the card Gin has written for him. Paz's fam urges her not to pick up, but she does. Esteban tells her her daughter María appeared!! Paz of course decides to go to the wedding. What's really weird about the whole María business is that there's literally no way to know which child she is, since she was stolen hours after her birth, so all these "se busca" cards with pictures... What's up with that? For all they know María could be a completely different kid. But I digress again...

Esteban throws the card at the floor and asks Gin what's she playing at. Gin claims that the child will be there. Esteban at some point grabs her and tells her he could break her neck. Maybe Gin likes "men with limits" to get them out of their limits... Well, she doing that, anyway.

Humb and the others try to make Paz to think logically, but we're talking about a mother who just heard her daughter was found. She CAN'T think logically.

Later, Esteban grabs the rings, dramatically throws them in the toilet and FLUSHES AS WELL. I don't know why, but I can't stop laughing at this scene. What on earth? He then thinks about him and Paz doing some washing up together and monologues, looking at the mirror, that he won't destroy Paz's life.

Mir tells Paz that María probably isn't at the wedding, it doesn't make sense. But Paz is determined, so Mir accepts it.

Creepy stalker Gio has the nerve to complain to Bosco about leaving her nudes on read and not sending back any!!! WTF?! Bosco tells her she's 19 and he's a minor, does she understand what this means? "I'll have to tell you in another language, because you don't seem to understand Spanish", he says, enraged. For the last time, he's not interested. Gio looks... like any creepy stalker when their victim tells them they're not interested.

Paz and her fam (+Humb) storm out, trying to get someone to get them to the wedding, screaming at passing cars. Uh, I mean, I wouldn't stop either to get these locos anywhere. I get why the overreaction, but they drivers don't. Anyway, Paz actually finds a driver who has parked something that vaguely looks like a car, but he's unwilling to drive, so she grabs the keys and starts the car-like thing. Humb gives the stunned guy some money and jumps in the car(?) too right before Paz starts the engine. This will go sooooo well. Not.

Mau asks Gin if he should give the antidote to Ginebra. Nope, Paz has to come first. Mau says that the priest is about to cancel or something. Gin promises Mauro Esteban will be her last husband and then he'll be free. "But I don't want to lose you. I don't want to be alone", he says. (Why? Genuine question.) They hug when Esteban comes in and tells them the priest won't be coming. Like the priest not coming is going to stop Gin. She'll probably do a Santiago Cano from Santa Diabla: kidnap one and put a bomb-belt around the waist so he marries them. Mau mentions encoded messages Esteban tried to sent, but him figuring it out or something similar. Esteban starts the usual "you think you're invincible but I'll find a way" talk.

The car-like thing kind of breaks down, but Paz doesn't seem to care. She drags Humb, who looks like he wants to vomit and runs, they're here.

Salo, Mir and Lupe are watching a video of Gala and Jero being interviewed by some reporters about their relationship. When they kiss on the cheek, Salo stops the vid. He still wants Gala but lost her because he was stupid (por estupido). Mir reminds him he'll be a dad now, but Salo says that Gema was just an acostón for him. Google says acostón means a sexual relationship with no actual commitments, and it's a bit of vulgar term. That's why his mom and grandma are so shocked then. Lupe tells him "pensar antes de hablar" - think before you talk and for some reason this appears on the screen next to Lupe's head. Okay... I think they editting people may need to "pensar antes de escribir en la pantalla" (think before writing on the screen). Both Lupe and Mir say that calling any woman an acostón is horrible.

It's the time... The wedding. Porf is there. Esteban thanks him, but Porf says he's there for his grandchildren, not for him. Esteban says he's thankful anyway. Here comes the bride, accompanied by Elvira. There are a bunch of photographers there taking countless pictures. Gin says some very fake emotional stuff to Elvira, but I was too busy in being disgusted to pay attention. 

Paz arrives with Humb, they're watching from the door. Humb keeps telling Paz to leave every five seconds in order not to get her hurt, but she insists on putting up with this to learn about her daughter.

Rubio starts attacking Vermin, demanding he tell him what the key opens and where's the diary Gin wants. He adds Gin is his boss and she'll kill either his family or Vermin and he prefers Vermin. As he tries to choke Vermin, Vermin says he loves Paz and her daughter (suuuuureeee). Gin will kill Rubio too when she gets what she wants. Why can't they work together? Think about it. Rubio stops choking him.

The priest, who fortunately doesn't have a bomb-belt around him, says he has to ask that (stupid) question: does anyone object to this marriage? Paz screams she does, runs there and tells Esteban he told her he loved a few weeks ago; if he tells her he doesn't love her, she promises she'll leave. He doesn't and she kisses him passionately. Unfortunately, it's just a daydream. There are no objections. 

The priest asks for the rings; Esteban has some sort of triumph smile, until Mau brings another box with different rings from the ones Esteban flushed in the toilet. Well, what did you expect, bud? Loca Ginebra is capable even of searching every single sewer in Mexico until she finds them. But yeah, rings fine.

Gin says a few words to Esteban; that she didn't think this happiness would come after so much pain, blah blah, my current concern is Samara, who's looking, well... like she has been poisoned, I wonder why. Paz notices too, Hum says it's probably the hot weather (can't blame him. I also look like this in hot weather and I live in Greece, so I look like a zombie 3/4 of the time). Paz waves at Sam and Sam tries to wave back. 

Esteban's time to say a few words to Gin. He waits and waits. Elvira gives him the death stare:

He says Gin's name, but looks over her shoulder, at Paz. "If I'm away from you, I'll lose my life, what I most want in this world. That why I wish everyone [here] is happy some day." What's really pissing me off are the things Gin keeps thinking. This time is that Esteban didn't say the vows she told him. 

Okay, Gin, do you accept Esteban as your husband for the rest of your life? (Divorces exist dude.) Yep, without a second thought. Esteban, do you accept Gin as your wife for the rest of your life? Esteban is taking his time with this one. After what seems like an eternity, he says yes. They put the rings on each other's hands, Esteban puts so much pressure on Gin's finger, I hope it cracks, but of course it doesn't. Paz runs away crying, at least spared of seeing the kiss. Well, it's one-sided, but still. Petals are thrown at the couple. (In Greece we throw rice. Petals make more sense.)

Paz cries for getting hurt over Esteban, calls herself stupid. Hum says Esteban is the only stupid one here and comforts her. She says Esteban had some nerve getting married in front of her. What did she expect?

Sam is horrible, she can't even work properly, Monito is helping her. Esteban asks Gin to give the antidote to the poor kid. She mocks him about having to talk to her better and signals Mau to give her the antidote. Mau gives it to poor Sam. Gin makes another mocking comment about Bere watching them from the sky. Esteban replies that this is the worst day of his life after the murder of Bere and it disgusts him being married to her. Gin looks... Insulted. What did she expect?

Paz has a talk with Gala about the marriage and Paz's daughter maybe being found. Gala is supportive and her usual sweet self. I actually really like Gala.

Later, Gala is looking at the magnificent wedding cake (now I get why so many people came) and tries not to start eating it. Jero comes and she tells him that after talking with Gio (girl, why would you discuss with this creep for, well, anything?) she wants to go over to his house later. Geez... I hope I'm spared of recapping that.

Pepa can't believe he won that scholarship. Salo can, he says he was always the best in drawing. Pepa is having seconds thoughts about leaving, but for once Salo encourages him. It's obvious it's hurting him, but he still tells him to go for it.

Mir and Lupe are having the same convo about Pepa leaving. The usual stuff.

Elvira tells Paz she's a masochist, why did she come? She then starts insulting her until Gin says Esteban has info on Paz's daughter. There will be a couple arriving in a few minutes with María. Paz asks how they're sure it's her, Gin replies this time, the dates match. Of course, she'll have to do a DNA test to prove it (she has 100% already arranged the fake results). Sam comes and hugs Paz, the 5 minutes they talk aren't enough. Sam learns about maybe finding Paz's daughter and is delighted. They both need more time together, but Gin drags Sam to go cut the cake. She hisses to Paz that she can wait a few more minutes if she could wait for 6 years.

After the couple and Sam leave, Elvira re-approaches Paz. She says she doesn't like her (I wasn't expecting that like, at all) but a mother's pain of losing their child must be respected. She speaks from experience. Paz is filled with tears and mumbles her gracias before El leaves. Hum comes and manages to calm down Paz. Esteban is watching this, sulky. Porf comments that he's a married man and should let Paz do whatever she wants; Esteban says that his blood boils every time he sees her with Hum.

Nandy asks Kenzo if he sees a future with her. He doesn't reply.

Mau takes Paz and Hum in the library, because "Esteban and Ginebra wanted them to have some privacy". He says the couple and the kid are arriving now.

Gin starts to make a speech before the cake is cut. Two assistants hold it up. Cobija starts running around like crazy, Sam and Monito behind him. Sandro pauses for a moment, smiles and runs. He hits the cake, which spectacularly hits Gin in the butt and her dress is ruined. Nandy can't help but smile, and neither can I.

Hum comments that Mau is late and says he'll go to search for him, but at that moment a girl and her parents come in. Paz freezes and turns to face "her" daughter.

Sam is crying her eyes out, saying it was an accident. Because so many people are present, Gin is very sweet. Nandy asks Kenzo again about their future. He avoids the question by saying they're having a good time, but Nandy insists: is he thinking of marriage? Kenzo says marriage is a bit hasty, which seems to sadden Nandy, who excuses herself to the bathroom. At that moment, Jero screams at and grabs Sandro, asking him if it was an accident. Felipa tells them to stop but Jero screams at her to control her son. Kenzo comes too, they ask Sandro if it was an accident, he claims it was (I bet it wasn't), screams at them and leaves. Jero continues the screamfest by screaming at Kenzo to go after his novia.

Esteban tells Gin he wants to be there for Paz when she meets her daughter. He obviously is unaware that the girl has already arrived.

The couple swears they didn't know they caused so much pain or they wouldn't have done it. Paz, always asking the girl for permission, touches her hand and hugs her. We learn the girl's name is Max (I assume from Maximiliana). Hum tells Mau he hopes it isn't a trap, Mau says of course it isn't. Paz and Hum both ask for proof that Max is María. 

Then, we have a little complication; police sirens. The couple is terrified, Paz and Hum are shocked, so are all the other guests in the other rooms. Esteban asks Gin if she called the cops, she smiles and says "wasn't that what you wanted?" Reporters have also arrived.

The police arrest the couple, Max screams and doesn't want to hear Paz's consolations. Again, what did you expect? 

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