Caray, Caray!

Reunited and it feels like I want to cry 

This is going to be a quick one, busy day ahead. Feel free to fill in the blanks. 

Paz and Sam are still hugging, Sam asks why Paz is laughing and crying at the same time. Paz says she’s happy. Happy to see her beautiful face and her smile, she’s waited so long for this moment and now they are finally together. Esteban is looking at them and he gets teary eyed, too, then goes inside allowing them to be alone. Paz asks Sam if she’d like to prepare with her one of the recipes she’s been keeping for her daughter. Sam agrees, she loves cooking with Paz and loves being back in this house. They go inside together, and they walk in slow motion, which is perfect because it gives me enough time to blow my nose and wipe my eyes – I might have been ugly crying during this scene.

Porfirio saves Humberto’s life by coming out of the bedroom and shooting at Rubio with a rifle, making him run like the slimy coward that he is. Fermin has fallen on a table and looks like he’s about to take his last breath, so Humberto and Porfirio take him to the hospital. The doctors tell them he was badly hurt, he might not make it. Porfirio thinks Humberto should call Paz and let her know.  

Jeronimo comes to see Kenzo at the office and tells him that Sandro is not his son. Kenzo is shocked, at first he believes Felipa cheated on him, but then Jero explains the truth is much worse, she bought a baby from Ginebra Nicoliti.

Salo is sad because he was actually looking forward to being a father. Now he’s afraid the baby won’t be provided for, since Gema is not exactly the picture of motherhood. Gala thinks he could still help out, be like a cool uncle. This is very soapy, but slightly unrealistic. I get that Salo would be sad because he doesn’t want another kid being raised without a father figure, but shouldn’t he also feel some traces of relief? His life has become 100% easier.

For whatever reason Gema decided that Pepa is to blame for her lies, so she throws a bucket of black paint on him and Bosco. Later, she decides if there is no Salo, she doesn’t want to keep her kid, so she takes some pills to provoke herself an abortion. Mireya, Salo and the others help her throw up, but as soon as she feels better Gema only says that she hates them all and she wants to do is destroy them.

Paz is going through her recipes with Sam, trying to find the perfect one to prepare together. She thought bubbles that she is very happy to finally have her daughter back. When they start cooking, they put on aprons, there is even one for Esteban. He takes the first picture of Paz and Sam as mother and daughter.  

Mireya has gone to the villa to get some books and Mauro finds her in the office. She’s startled to see he’s back from his trip, he looks as intense as ever, tells her one of her people has something that belongs to him. Mireya attacks him, she’s tired of being fooled by bad men, she deserves better. She’s lost hope that he’ll ever change, he will always choose bad over good, evil Gin over her love. So she has decided it’s time she started fighting against what she feels. Mauro says he is trying to change, but there is a battle going on inside him, he can’t turn his back on Ginebra, he must stay loyal to her. Mireya has heard enough. She does love him so much, but this is not healthy for her, so she is going to stop no matter what.

Kenzo confronts Felipa about Sandro. She sobs, saying she lost the baby she had been pregnant with and she was trying to save their family. They have to be very careful with Ginebra, she could kill them all, she is involved in child trafficking. But Kenzo knows better, she only did this for herself. Sandro will always be his son, but he doesn’t want to see her ever again. He also promises to help Jero, who is now in big problems because of her, too, he will always stand by his sons.

Elvira confronts Ginebra after her talk with Geo. Ginebra manages to fool her mother by saying she went to threaten Geo, she cares so much about Bosco. Elvira thinks they should have made a plan together, but Gin makes it clear she doesn’t need to ask permission when she does something, she is, after all, a mother figure for all these kids (LOL!)

Paz tells Lupita the truth about Sam being her Maria. Lupita is shocked, overjoyed, moved beyond words. When she wants to talk about Vermin’s, Paz is interrupted by Humberto calling to tell her that he 's in the hospital. Paz and Esteban go to see him and Paz actually manages to say that she forgives him and will take care of their daughter, before he finally succumbs to his wounds.

It’s a gesture of extreme kindness for Vermin’s tormented soul. Esteban is impressed with Paz, she explains she wants to start over without any hard feelings, but with a clear conscience. Esteban says the information Vermin gave Humberto could help them a lot. It’s a shame he had to die when he had so many things to live and be held accountable for.

Ginebra orders Mauro to get rid of Geo. She doesn’t care how he does it. The only thing that he needs to do first is make sure that she gives up on her accusations against Bosco. Mauro asks her when she plans to see Sam, she even left without saying goodbye. Gin couldn’t care less, she’ll see her at night. They get news from Rubio that Vermin is dead (yey!), but he couldn’t get the diary (ooops!)

Paz and Esteban are back at the house and telling everyone that Vermin died. She also tells Lupita that Vermin was the one who sold their baby and she is rightfully shell shocked. She doesn’t understand why they can’t tell her the truth as soon as possible, but the others explain that Ginebra is very dangerous and they have to protect Sam at all cost.

The one good thing that came from all of this is the fact that they have their Maria back and Lupita is overcome with emotion: she thanks God for allowing her to witness the moment when her grand-daughter came back into their lives.

They are interrupted by Kenzo, who wants to speak to Esteban. Alone, he tells his best friend that his heart is broken, Sandro is not his son. And that is not because Felipa has cheated, but because she actually bought a baby from Ginebra.    

Samara falls asleep in Paz’ house, with Paz watching over her, still in disbelief that this is her daughter. She promises that one day, soon, she will tells her the truth.
