Caray, Caray!

Paz wants a few days off because she found her daughter and mentions sending her mother instead if it's needed. Esteban of course says yes and does the very wrong move of telling Paz he wants them to be friends; she screams there's no "them" and hangs up.

Bosco and Pepa have a discussion of their mutual trauma. Pepa says he thinks they should move past this and continue with their life like they want to. They both admire the tree Pepa has painted.

Mir and Nandy have an underwear sponsor. FF--> By the way, wouldn't it be more fitting for Gala to promote the products back when she was an influencer? It would at least be less cringe.

Speaking of Gala, we get a scene with her and Salo, who gifts her a bouquet of flowers. Gala asks him why all the flowers are different and Salo says that, truthfully, he searched everywhere and picked up the most beautiful flowers he could find (did he mention not having enough money to pay for an expensive one?) Gala asks him if he really did this for her, he says yep, but now it's time to say the excuse. The different flowers symbolise their story... Yada yada. They end up kissing.

Felipa tells Kenzo she saw that "his scarecrow" (Nandy) posted that they're together. She has a restraining order on him for his kids. Kenzo gets the papers, shocked. I read it and understood about half the things. It was the most stereotypical thing I've read, some cock-and-bull crap about gender roles (!) and referring to some laws that state that children shouldn't be subjected to violence. (What violence?!) I'm not joking. What on actual f-ck was that.

Jerónimo actually tells Ginebra she'll do what he tells her to. I'm getting popcorn ready, it's going to be a good one! Ginebra smirks and asks him why, Jero says he knows he's been laundering money for her with the cryptocurrency business so she'll stop getting in the way of his plans with Gio or the world will know she's a criminal. Gin actually says "so you're the one who's helping that moron". I couldn't believe I would be rooting for Gin AGAIN, but here we are. 

She tells Jero to write his name on a piece of paper. He does, she grabs him by the throat with her usual threats, tells him to open his mouth and shoves the paper she has now made into a ball shape into his mouth. Oh and he's not allowed to spit it out, of course. She starts her usual "I'm the only one who gives orders around here" and tells him he's ages away from being like her. She asks him what's their (Jero and Gio's) objective. Jero pretty much replies that they want to hurt Gala and Bosco. Gin comments that they have similar goals. She proposes he works for her, he says ok but only if he has enough benefits. And it's Game Over by Ginebra Nicoliti. By the way, she was mocking the name Jerónimo for absolutely no reason the whole discussion. She's called Ginebra, named after the alcoholic drink, so I don't think she can make fun of other names.

Hum, Esteban and Porf are all together in Porf's house. Hum tucks the hacked phone in some aluminium foil, which makes horrible screeching sounds that make Mauro's ears hurt (headphone user). Hum says that they can't hear them as long as the phone is in the aluminium foil because Telenovela Technology. Mau can't hear them indeed. Come on, does aluminium foil actually block sound transmission when out in the campo? Porf already knows about Ginebra. Both he and Hum say they'll help Esteban. Porf says that whatever has happened between them, Esteban is his son.

Paz brings Max to the mothers group. They're all excited except from Max, who looks like she ate a particularly sour lemon. She doesn't have a tantrum though. Paz brushes some hair out of Max's face and Max's birthmark shows. Some other mother from the group starts crying, Paz is clearly confused and shocked. She tells Max to stay there. The crying woman, Sana I think, says her daughter had that birthmark when she was born. She shows Paz and the others a picture of the baby with that specific heart-moon birthmark. Paz says it must be a coincidence, the DNA results said she's Max's mom! (The DNA results given to you by the police. Shouldn't that make you a tiny bit suspicious?) Sana insists and shows Paz the drawing they made of how her daughter was supposed to look when she was about 5. Paz is shocked, they're almost identical!  

Esteban, Humberto and Porfirio finish their discussion and Hum takes the phone out of the aluminium foil. They start talking normally about Bosco, like they never stopped talking about that subject. Mau can miraculously hear them now and looks less concerned. 

Kenzo is devastated with the restriction order, says to Felipa his kids are everything for him. Felipa pretty much wants him to break up with Nandy if he wants to see his kids again. She leaves the office with a smirk. The smirk leaves her face when she sees a call from Mau, who orders her to go to Hum's house to investigate, Esteban is there.

More aluminium foil for the hacked phone to have another quick word. Hum says they can't keep it that much because the listeners will start to get suspicious, so they remove it.

Tortuga (kid with weird hairstyle that follows Gema around) and his friends beat up Bosco and Pepa, who tries to intervene. We see that Jero was the one who payed Tortuga to beat Bosco up. Fobo pops up and manages to separate them.

Paz, after the initial shock wears off, promises she'll do more tests to Max, one with Vermin and one with Sana, to check whose child she is. Sana thanks her and they hug.

Gin tells Esteban she wants the company, Est says he's not interested in a allegiance with her and she shouldn't harm Elvira. Gin starts the lies that she loves him, he tells her to stop saying that, she doesn't love anyone! She's full of hate for everyone, even for herself. Every second, every moment he's with her, he falls more in love with Paz. Gin tells him to stop mentioning the taquera and warns him about not telling his father anything, because she could easily help Porf find Est's mom in the sky. What a b-tch.

Paz brings some food to Gala, who's thankful. She tells Paz she closed all her social media and broke up with Jero, but doesn't want to discuss it. They talk about Max.

Nandy is sad about the restraining order and tells Kenzo they have to break up, he has to see his children, while crying. 

Pepa is tending to Bosco's wounds as Fobo blames himself for everything that happened. Bosco beggs him not to tell Elvira, Fobo doesn't. El tells Fobo (on the phone) to bring Bosco back, she doesn't want him in this neighbourhood. She's surprised when she learns Bosco is with Pepa.

Kenzo says they're not breaking up, he won't succumb to Felipa's blackmail, but Nandy mumbles she doesn't want to separate a family, while crying still. 

Speaking of the devil-in-training, Felipa arrives at Hum's place, who asks her what he can do for her. She smiles, says something like "a lot of things, like...", opens her full body jacket/whatever it's called and reveals a sexy black leotard. Geez... This should go in my list of traumatic events recapped... (The list is a great idea, Blue!)

Mau informs Gin about Esteban going to see Porf and Hum, but Gin thinks he wouldn't risk telling the truth. Mau says that by the way he took care of Max's parents. Gin is pleased, she says that the dead can't talk. In turn she shows Mau the money she got from selling that baby Vermin and Rubio took. Mau says he wants to see how they'll be able to launder that amount.

Paz admits to Gala that she'll do more (saliva) DNA tests, but she shouldn't say anything. Gala wonders who would be this cruel and Paz replies that Ginebra would. Gala gets a text message from her dad and asks Paz to bring her some water. She answers the message and smirks. I couldn't read them because the letters were too small, but I think Esteban sent Gala that he's coming and asked her where she is exactly. I believe Gala wanted him to bump into Paz and that was the smirk about.

Esteban indeed bumps into Paz. They look like they're about to kiss, but don't. Esteban tells her everyone has missed her greatly; Gala still has the nutrition problem, Bosco is getting accused of a crime and Eder needs a mother figure. Paz says she tried to forget loving him and feels as if Max hates her. He tells her to calm down and not give up. She asks him why did she give up on her, then? Esteban thinks he wants to tell her the truth but remembers a convo he had with Hum and Porf. Hum, who is a tech expert as well as a lawyer, told him Gin can spy on him through every electronic device that's close to him; every cell phone, every ATM, even every refrigerator. So he doesn't tell Paz the truth, but tells her he got married to Ginebra because it would keep the family united. Paz is on the verge of tears as Gala comes with Max.

She apologises for interrupting, but Max woke up. Max gives Paz her bag. Right before they leave, Est tells Paz that he's sure she'll be an amazing mother. Gala asks him about Gin, Esteban says he's not the most important thing and if he has to sacrifice he'll do it. Gala is even more confused after this statement.

Felipa is still in that leotard. Hum is awkward, puts the jacket back on Fel and tells her he's her lawyer, not her lover. Fel says they're adults and single and calls him boring. Hum says it's unethical, but Fel says that she just wants to have fun. She pulls the jacket off and Porf walks in on that scene. He actually comments he has seen better!!! Fel is totally calm with Porf seeing her like this and goes to the bathroom while telling them to calm down. 

Gin is planning more baby thefts, Mau warns her people will get suspicious. Something pops up in Gin's phone, he shows Mau who almost has a stroke. I didn't understand what happened, can anyone clarify? Gin tells him to calm down, this blow must make them stronger.

In the last scene of the episode, Paz is with Max, telling her they have to go to the doctor. Vermin materializes, Paz gives Max her phone to hear some music and confronts Vermin about not caring for Max and thinking she's not even their daughter. Vermin says he doesn't trust Ginebra and Mauro, Paz agrees. Vermin STILL doesn't say anything about their daughter.

And on that note, we have the Fin del Capítulo...
