Caray, Caray!

Felipa keeps playing the blame game with Nandy: she is separating Kenzo from his beloved kids and hurting him in the process.

Esteban and Humberto pretend talk about Paz still hating Esteban. As soon as the phone gets inside the chips bag, Esteban tells his cousin the truth about him and Paz still being in luuv. Humbie is disappointed for a while but tells Esteban how Gin managed to put a tracker on him: by injecting it in his blood. They need to freeze him in order to remove it. Esteban manages to wrap his head around it, even if Humbie is not very reassuring, because getting his temperature as low as possible might deactivate the tracker, but it might also kill him in the process.

Mauro is amazed by Gin’s ability to fool Elvira by using her poor widow (once removed) condition. Elias had so many debts, she is afraid she won’t have enough money to take care of Samara.

Fobo is listening as Elvira speaks about touching her own skin and feeling alive (seriously, lady?). She now understands that she still has time and Fobo says love is a human necessity (as opposed to bear necessity, what was that again?). She admits she somehow forgot herself down the line and they are about to kiss when Eder and Samara knock on the door and almost catch them going into a yoga position again.

Bosco and Pepa are doing math together. Gio calls Bosco and threatens him again that he will go to jail. Jero is with her, looking proud and confident. Bosco gets frustrated, it’s moments like this he misses his mother the most.

Pepa tries to cheer him up, uses some math metaphors that Bosco finds odd, but he gets the point.

The lawyer who has come to see Elvira has prepared her new will and testament that she signs in front Mauro and Ginebra – the lawyer confirms that Gin has been named as one of Elvira’s beneficiaries.

Paz and the family talk about cooking and love and loving to cook and loving to eat. Paz and Mireya agree not to say anything about their talk on the roof.

That lady that might be Max’s mom has come with the DNA results. Paz is looking at her and Vermin’s analisys, Max is not their daughter. But the other lady is and she cries happy tears. Paz is happy for her, even if this means that her Maria is still missing. Vermin is sure someone changed the results, surely Gin had a hand in it. Salo wonders if Esteban had something to do with it, too, Paz remembers her with Esteban and defends him. They also wonder if it was Mauro. Paz thanks Vermin, they only did the test because he pushed for it. Huh?

Then the lady goes to see her sleeping daughter.

A boxers wearing Esteban is getting ready for his freezing bath, he needs to be in there enough time for his heart to stop beating. Apparently Humbie knows how to restart it. All I have to wonder about is did Daniel Elbittar really get into freezing water? Either way, Esteban gets all the way in – when he tries to get out to breathe, Humbie pushes him back inside. He struggles, loses consciousness, sees a woman floating above him – I guess it’s his mom, he grabs her hand and closes his eyes.

Elvira promises Gin and Mauro they will never suffer again and thanks Mauro for protecting her daughter all these years. Starting from today they are both under her protection. They mention Mauro’s drug addicted parents, no point in searching for them, but Elvira says she loves him.

As soon as Elvira leaves, Gin notices that Mauro actually felt moved by Elvira’s acceptance and calls him ridiculous.

Humbie is trying to revive Esteban, while Porfirio looks on with worry. He eventually wakes up (and gets dressed boo), and now Humbie has a new plan, to send Mauro a message and hack him (or something, I don’t get their technological make believe world). Esteban tells Porfirio about seeing his mom and she telling him they need to be more united than ever, especially now.

Salo has gathered a box of trinkets that have meaning to him, calling it a time capsule. Gala assumes she must put things inside the box, too. He wants to have a real relationship and they both promise to do their best.

They are kissing as Yaya arrives. She reminds Gala that Salo is about to have a baby, they start talking about social differences and social progression. Gala makes it clear she loves Salo for what he is. Esteban arrives to take Gala’s side. Elvira is about to cave, but she’s still worried about the baby, is Gala going to be a step-mother at 19? Salo promises to work very hard to take care of his child and Gala, and Esteban adds that he will give Salo a job at Mystery Inc.

Elvira would have preferred Gala to be involved with someone who has less burdens to carry and while Salo says his child will not be a burden, Elvira does make some good points. Both Gala and Salo take this like the very young adults that they are, with rose colored glasses, but Esteban actually defends their point of view, by reminding Elvira that she had Gin while very young, too, was she a burden?

Elvira says that maybe her values are old-fashioned, and she is becoming worthless. Gala urges her to change and fight for their family.

Lupita is serving Porfirio some coffee. She is sad because Max isn’t her grand daughter, but she can’t give up now, her family needs her. Porfirio encourages her, tears are good, they don’t make them less strong.

Nandy is sad, too, Mireya is trying to comfort her, she has the right to be upset over Kenzo. But she also understands him because she is a single parent, too, and sometimes they just have to deal with things on their own. Nandy feels especially bad because she thinks that she only made things worse for him. Why does she have to change everything about her to be worthy of love?

Paz has come back from seeing the cops, the situation is very complicated. She is worried about Max, her life has changed so much, she deserves to be happy.

Later she tells all the ladies in her family that Gin is a monster, she and Esteban will find a way to defend everybody.

Esteban and his older kids talk about their problems. Bosco is not doing so great, there is no news about his case. Esteban encourages him, it’s always darkest before dawn.

Vermin has come to see Castro, who is shocked about what Paz has told him about Max. He accuses him of working for Ginebra without saying her name. Castro is very busy, working to find some missing babies. Vermin looks worried, doubts, but then asks Castro if the police has a witness protection type of program. Castro just tells him to leave.

Paz has come to see Ginebra. Esteban is worried when he sees her, but it looks like she has a plan. She tells Gin that Max is not her daughter and shows her the DNA test she did herself. Gin pretends to be surprised, but we see that she is furious. Paz asks if they had something to do with this lie. Esteban says he’d never do that and Gin would never, either.

Samara arrives to see Paz, Esteban offers to Paz to get Sam to bed. As they all go, Gin is left alone to call Mauro – why weren’t they aware of this? Mauro tells her something on the phone that worries her enough to have her go to the secret vault where Mauro is already hyperventilating.

Going after all those babies ruffled a lot of feathers, a lot of their allies are going into hiding. He thinks they should run away, but Gin has a different plan, they can’t leave now that victory is so close. They need to turn the tables on their enemies, they will return the babies for now.

Mauro has other news, Esteban’s tracker is deactivated, maybe he was the one to tell Paz that Max is not her daughter. Mauro is about to go full panic mode, but Gin can’t lose her best soldier, they need to play defense: Paz and Esteban will get comfortable and make a mistake.
