Caray, Caray!

Norway Chess Finals had me go to bed later than usual. (I'm a chess freak.) Ju Wenjun won the Women's and Magnus Carlsen the Open. Congratulations!

Back to the telenovela:

Gin is trying to calm Mauro down. She says they have to play defensively, the game isn't over. 

Paz and Esteban de-activate their cellphones (no aluminium foil or potato chip bag needed!). Paz doesn't want to cause problems, Esteban says she doesn't cause any. Paz mentions her daughter and Esteban mentions fighting for her no matter what. They kiss and we get a little easter egg: the intro pic is in the scene twice, one almost directly above and one above and to the right of the truck: 

Mauro asks Gin to forgive him for Max, Gin forgives him but is still enraged about the child being the daughter of another woman of Paz's "crying mothers group". Gin, some people have a heart and feelings and cry about their missing children... But she doesn't have any and can't understand. She goes on and on about wanting to tell Elvira in her face she arranged Berenice's murder. We get it.

Paz and Esteban stop talking and activate their cells, because Gin will get suspicious. They get out of the truck, Esteban gets a whiteboard out and two markers. Since they can't talk, they start writing:

(E): I've never stopped thinking about you

(P): I never thought we could get together again

(E): I swear I'm going to get divorced. No one and nothing will separate us

(P): It's amazing to know that you never stopped loving me

(E): I missed you so much, I can't imagine life without you

(P): Thanks for taking care of me

(E): I'll always take care of you. Never doubt that I love you wholeheartedly (con todo lo que soy - literally with everything that I am)

(P): Don't leave. I don't know when we can be like this again even though it's a secret (a escondidas - "in hiding") 

(E): I don't want to expose you to any risk, but I promise I'll steal you a kiss when you least expect it

(P): I wish it was all days, [I wish] the road's open to us 

(E): Escaping is hard, but not impossible. I'll find her breaking point

(P): You can't imagine how much I needed you, more now that I was left with my hands empty. I don't know where to search my daughter 

(E): Even though we're not together physically, you're there for me. Thank you for letting me being by your side again. If out love can make it through these challenges, we can make it through anything 

Paz whispers to him "I know we're going to make it. We deserve to be happy. We deserve it!"

They kiss, the intro song playing this whole time. It doesn't stop until the scene changes. Paz and Esteban kiss all the way to Paz's house's door, but he turns and kisses her again. 

Back to his house, Esteban remembers the last kiss and smiles. Unfortunately, Gin is there and asks him where he was. He says he doesn't need to tell her, Gin does her usual threatening and informs him that El put her in her will. She wants to be made the only heir. 

Paz tells Mir about Esteban and her daughter. She prays about her daughter's safety.

Next day: Max leaves the Robles household. Everyone makes sure to tell Max she's always welcome here, even though she's not a family member. Max apologises for her behaviour and Paz tells her to be nice to her mom. Paz adds she'll have psychological help. Sana and some other women from the group come and pick Max up. Sana thanks Paz. Vermin promises to Paz one day they'll come through this door holding their daughter. (Says the man who KNOWS WHERE THEIR DAUGHTER IS BUT DOESN'T TALK.)

Kenzo comes to Felipa's place to ask her to see his sons. (Has this man had a concussion and forgot who are his sons? Dude, it's JERO and SANDRO.) Felipa doesn't let him, even though Kenzo says he's been a good husband and is trying to be a better dad. (I don't like these "mother doesn't let father see kid" storylines.)

Salo has an interview with Esteban's company with the unknown products. They ask him if he's asked Paz if he could, he hasn't but Paz says she doesn't mind. He tells them about Gala giving him a second chance. Everyone's happy. Lupe tells him to think before he acts (pensar antes de actuar", which was written on the screen again... Why? She says his child should be the #1 priority. Sana calls Paz and tells her they have great news.

Witchy Gin is now playing the role of Snow White's stepmother, bringing a tray of orange juices to Eder, Sam and Monito. She gives them the juices (Monito wanted the one she gave Eder) and they all drink. Gin smiles evilly at Eder's direction. Oh no... I hope she didn't poison his juice. How much poison does Gin have? She must have another secret room in the house in which she stores poison bottles. I can picture her caressing the strongest one and having a villain-evil-laugh. Okay, back to the telenovela now:

Paz and Mir go the mothers group and see the two stolen babies returned. They're all very happy, but they don't know exactly what happened. Paz asks to hold a baby, the mother lets her. Poor Paz. Seeing everyone get their children back except from her. 

Gala is checking her weight, Esteban enters and they say it's going well. Gala has some news that he's not going to like, she wants a career change. She says she took fashion design because she wanted to be a model, but it doesn't make her happy anymore. She doesn't know what exactly she wants to study but not this. Esteban is supportive and gives her time. Hug.

Paz is making breakfast (I'm a foodie and seeing all these delicious meals is not helping). Sam enters and tells her she wants her to brush her hair. She does and makes a cute little bow. Sam suggests doing her homework together, something that Paz accepts but Gin, who popped up behind a wall, doesn't. Has she put a happiness detector chip? I swear she teleports in every place where people are happy. Gin doesn't like the relationship between Paz and Sam, she ruins the bow and throws the ribbon to the floor. She adds that she (Gin) will brush her hair somewhere else than, here it's "for the servants". Gin now faces Paz and tells her she lets her cook Sam's meals, but she shouldn't play Sam's mother. Sam is dragged away, Paz lightly waves at her.

Esteban enters and they say "good morning" and "everything looks delicious" with some looks exchanged. Esteban passes her a note saying "remember, the whole day, that I love you". Paz smiles and writes him a note too, while talking about the omelettes in order not to raise suspicion. She writes him "and you remember that my faith in you has been restored completely" and draws him a heart. They smile and mouth "I love you" seconds before Elvira enters. Close one! El has come to tell them that Gio has uploaded a video about Bosco. 

Gala and Bosco are viewing this video together. Yikes. Gio says Bosco Villa de Cortés raped her and his family is trying to buy the authorities. She even asks other women to help her!!! (I absolutely HATE the women who do this!! This makes the REAL victims' claims go under a lot of suspicion. Gala hugs Bosco, who says that's it, his life is ending.

Back to the dinning room, in which Gala and Bosco are entering, eating starts. Eder has some weird pains (oh no) and gets red. Esteban runs to him and holds him, looks at Gin and she smirks back:

El calls an ambulance, Esteban flashes back to Bere dying and tells Eder not to fall asleep. He'll take him himself to hospital. Elvira accuses Paz of using ingredients he's allergic to, Paz says she loves Eder and would never do such a thing. Everyone goes with Esteban, who flashes back to holding Bere and screaming for help. Left behind are Paz, Gin, Elvira, Sam and Monito. Sam says the drank juice in the morning, Monito adds that Gin gave them to them (smart kid). Gin quickly says it's not the time to point fingers, which is suspicious, but El doesn't really think about it. Can't say the same for Paz, even though she doesn't speak. Gin says she'll stay with the kids, Elvira and Paz leave.

Monito is now with Sam in their room. He draws a parallel with Cobija and asks Sam if she thinks her mom did something to the juice (smart kid), but Sam says they drank too and they feel ok. Mauro enters and tries to comfort them.

Salo and Mir ask Kenzo for a job for Salo. After some searching, he says they have an open post in distribution, he just needs to know how to drive. Salo, who btw was way too energetic this whole time, says he can drive. Judging by this look by Mir, I assume he lied:

Mauro screams at Gin "what are you doing?" Gin tells him not to raise his voice at her and to calm down, no one will know about the poison, they have to do a very specific analysis to figure it out. Mauro says they said they had to take it calmly, he's her brother and blah blah. Gin tells him all this is his fault. The chip getting deactivated is his fault, Max being the daughter of someone Paz knows is his fault, even Sam is his fault, if he'd done like she asked him none of this would have happened. She says he's not her brother, he's an anchor. He tells her not to say thinks she'll regret, but she goes on and on about how weak he is, a son of drug addicts that should have stayed and got burned in the orphanage. Mauro has tears in his eyes as Gin leaves and starts breathing heavily. Panic attack?

Jero is taken by Nandy to meet his department, Mor has a discussion with Kenzo about childern, how she raised them alone and she never let love get in the way. But now their children need to understand that they can love too. Yeah, but maybe not the man who almost killed his niece and helped the main psycho ruin their life. Just sayin'. She says Nandy is a very good woman. No important info there.

Esteban, Gala and Bosco arrive at hospital. Eder is taken by the doctors, Esteban says he's probably poisoned. The doc says they'll bring a toxicologist, Esteban says they can whatever they want, just save Eder. They're all in tears. Gala and Bosco ask Esteban how can he be so sure Eder was poisoned. Esteban thinks that he can't tell them it was Gin.

Hum and Porf arrive at the restaurant. Pepa ships Lupe and Porf. Pretty much FF--> material.

Paz and Elvira arrive, El is her usual obnoxious insulting to the nurse. Paz tries to calm her down. Gala and Bosco come and say Eder is likely poisoned. El immediately blames Paz. Paz also thinks she can't tell them the truth because they won't believe her. She says maybe he ate something at school he was allergic to.

In the last scene of the episode, Mir is waiting at the company when Mauro enters. He smiles, but she doesn't. She asks to speak to him in private. They go somewhere in the company that's more private and Mir slaps him, demanding to know why they played with their feelings and saying a random child was their María.

And with Mir finally starting to WAKE UP, we have the Fin del Capítulo...
