Caray, Caray!

Juan and Remi are on the beach and Remi is trying to talk sense into him. I don’t see that happening any time soon. Remi looks disgusted and walks off.

Back at the Finca Rod is knocking on Leo’s door. Un oh. Caught red-handed aren’t you? Arcadio and Leo are scrambling to look presentable. Rod tries the handle but it is locked. Can’t he just look through the windows? He gives up and goes away. Arcadio goes to the door. He’s gone. Leo is worried. Arcadio says it is better that he left. Leo assures him that there is nothing between her and Rodrigo. That died years ago. I don’t want anything with him. Arcadio goes to take a better look.

Juan and the boyz are brooding on the beach. Well, Juan is brooding anyway. Suddenly Gabe says he’s got some great news. Everyone looks expectantly at him. Jimena is the real daughter of Mariella. And we’re going to be getting married pretty quick. That brings a smile to Juan’s face. Everyone cheers. They toast to their health.

In the parlor Rod is pouring himself a drink as Leo creeps down the stairs. Didn’t the unwelcome wagon escort their sorry asses out of there? The nerve of some people. Rod said he was worried about her so he came back to see if she was ok. She’s still astounded that they gave the house to Clemencia. Rod wants to talk--in her bed. She says, uh, not this time. Maybe some other time. She heads off to bed. He thought bubbles to himself that Leo has changed. He won’t permit any disloyalty. Where have we heard that before?

Back on the beach the boyz are talking and they decide to hit the sack. Gabe and Juan start talking about the new sheriff and how pretty soon Leo and Rod will get what is coming to them. Juan looks down still so Gabe asks him what’s up. Juan says that Regina is asking for a dissolution of the marriage. Gabe can’t believe it and neither can we because it’s not true. Gabe says you’re crazy. She has tried to show you in so many ways how she loves you but you never see. He’s sure that the letter is a scheme cooked up by Aimee. Juan asks if he’s sure. Gabe says yes. Trust in your heart.

Meanwhile Renato is talking to the priest. The priest goes on about how marriage is a sacrament, blah, blah, blah. Renato respects that but he has something to say. The padre is listening. Renato begins--He tells him he story about Juan and Regina being forced to marry and how it is his fault that Regina has had to suffer through this marriage. But he’s been trying to help her out. Padre wants to know what Regina thinks about all this. He says of course she is on board with all this. Here is her signature. Rat bastard. Not sure exactly what the padre is thinking. Renato thanks him.

The next morning Rod is looking through books thinking of ways to defend Leo. He comes across a folded up paper in one of the books. It is the blueprints for the finca. He looks them over and remarks about the entrances and exits but also notices some areas that are very dangerous. Someone could get hurt. Dun, dun, dun.

Leo is upstairs talking to Arcadio. Why doesn’t Rod hear all this going on? Leo is worried that all their plans are about to be exposed. She’s thinking they need to steal all the money Rod’s and Noel’s too. She starts whining and Arcadio looks a little disgusted.

Rod’s down in the passageways looking for something. He comes upon a passage and says this is the one I’ve been looking for. It’s the best place. I couldn’t have found a better place. Hmmm, what is that little rascal up to now? I guess Leo is getting ready to go. She’s looking around her room at all her nice stuff. I have to agree that furniture is pretty awesome. Renato is getting his stuff ready and remembering the conversation with the padre about Regina. Is he starting to feel guilty for telling the priest all those lies? He asks El Senor to forgive him. I’m thinking--No.

Leo is waiting for Renato downstairs. She still can’t believe she has to leave her own house. Renato offers her his arm. They walk outside and Leo turns to get one more look at the house. She thought she would live in this house always. Rod stands on the balcony and watches them leave. Rod grabs his walking stick and heads back down in the passageways. Arcadio is walking along when he almost runs smack into Rodrigo. They glare at each other as we go to a break. Back from the break, Rod grabs him and wants to know what he’s doing here. He yells at him that he is responsible for keeping MdR down here all these years. Arcadio says, that’s not so. He says oh no. I just took care of her. Rod smacks him. Do you want to know the truth Rodrigo? The truth? Yes. I want to know. Let me go and be prepared for a great surprise. Oh yeah, now we’re talking. I’ll tell you everything that happened.

Over at Renato’s new house he’s showing his mother around while the servants make really tall floral arrangements. Renato says it is not as grand as the finca but it is what it is. Leo says she just needs to adjust to her new life. She says she’s been thinking. She’s a very strong woman and things will be ok.

Rod and Gabe are on the beach talking fishing business. Everyone is content and the boats are ready. Juan says that is the beauty of the cooperative. Everything for every body. Juan’s going to take his fortune and invest it in the port and in his people. Gabe says I know it is not the best time but I have a favor to ask. He wants Juan and Regina to accompany him to Mariella’s house so he can formalize the marriage proposal to Jimena. Juan is delighted to go. You can count on him. As far as Regina. He doesn’t know. As you know we are not on the best of terms right now. And who’s fault is that anyway?

Regina is in bed not feeling so great. Clemencia is worried about her. Regina says she’s always tired. Clemencia says that is to be expected in her condition. Clem tells her to wait she has a surprise. Regina says she is always waiting. Clem says is it Juan? Duh! Like you had to ask. He doubts my love. He received a letter from Aimee saying she signed an annulment for my marriage. I’ve lost everything. Clem asks if she told him about the baby. Of course according to TN rules Regina has not. But I love him with all my heart. I can’t take it any more FF>>

Jacinto is ironing when she hears a noise behind her and turns to find flowers sticking through the door. I wonder how they grew them like that? Oh wait. It’s just Santos. They are so cute. He gets down on one knee and is holding a handful of petals. She smiles at him as he blows the petals from his hands and there is a ring. I have to give him a 10 for originality on that one. They hug. How nice.

Remi is attempting to cut a tomato with his one arm and is not having much luck. Next he tries a fish--because that is going to be much easier I’m sure. (Gag, he’s cutting up my two least favorite foods all at once.) Lulu shows up and wants him to let her help. He says he doesn’t need any help. He gets mad. Don’t you get it you big lug, I love, I love you. He tells her to get lost and leave him in peace forever. That Remi--he’s such a kidder.


Fully is at Noel’s office. He informs him that his beautiful wife has disappeared and he’s sure it is with that darn Fed who has disappeared also along with a big part of his money. Noel is horrified. Fully’s laying it on pretty thick. Noel thinks a minute and asks him if he’s sure she left with Fed? Fully says unfortunately yes. I guess they’d been lovers for quite a while. I’m sure everyone in the port will understand your tragedy. Especially when those bodies start bobbing in the water like apples at a Halloween party. You are a fine upstanding guy. A great example for everybody. Ha! If you only knew. And the academy award for best male actor goes to--Fully!

The priest is waiting for somebody in his office. Leo comes rushing in late. They talk but the important part is that he has there in front of him the document that annuls the marriage of Juan San Roman and Regina Montes de Oca. Too bad he doesn’t know about the baby.

Gabe is telling Regina the happy news about the wedding. She would gladly be the matron of honor. She looks so happy. Wait until she finds out what Renato’s been up to.

It’s another dark stormy night at the finca. Rod and Arcadio are talking in the dungeon. Rod says what do you have to tell me. Arcadio beats around the bush but finally says he was only carrying out the orders of his patrona Leonarda. Rod is taken aback. He doesn’t believe him as crazy music plays in the background. It’s the truth. Rod remembers back to the night of MdRs “death.” Rod says why did you pretend that MdR was your wife. That wasn’t my doing. It was Leo’s idea. She also told MdR that her baby was born dead. Rod is still trying to put the pieces together about this whole thing. As Arcadio circles around Rod I hear Arcadio saying in my head Gollum, Gollum. Arcadio says if you don’t believe me here are the jewels she paid me with. He hands them to Rod. Rod says yes but these are not worth much. Where are the more valuable ones. Leo has them hidden.

Everyone is gathered for the party for Jimena and Gabe. Juan makes a very nice speech about Gabe being his friend and like a son for him. He hopes they will be happy forever. Alberto makes a little speech and Abuela welcomes Gabe into the family. They all drink. Real Angela looks uncomfortable in that dress. The doorbell rings. Raul says he didn’t invite anybody else. Lulu comes in and says someone is looking for Juan San Roman. Uh oh. It is Renato. Juan goes off to see what he wants. Juan meets with him and cuts to the chase. What do you want. Renato says he has the papers that will restore Regina’s life. Renato says here. Look at them. It is the dissolution of your marriage. You and Regina are no longer married. And here is the diary of Regina. Oh you know that’s going to be trouble. They stare each other down. End.

Episode 127

At Raúl's, Noel asks Alberto's permission to take his daughter for a stroll; and he assents, noting after they depart that what's going on between them seems like more than simple friendship. Inéz has reservations, though, and grants Noel is a really good man; but with discomfort points out that he's married.

Raúl agrees, with caveats: he's married to a woman who never loved him and that only ever made him unhappy; Leonarda has always been in love with Rodrigo and cheated on Noel despite him being an exemplary person. When Raúl contends that Noel deserves love with a good woman like their daughter, the parents remain hesitant.

Noel and Mariela stroll companionably, with her just saying she sees a glimmer of light in her life now, when they spy Rodrigo and Leonarda approaching from the opposite direction. Noel deliberately removes his sunglasses and calls Rodrigo out again. "You're a coward," he says. "A fraud!"

Noel waited on the dueling ground, and Rodrigo never came, Noel accuses. When Rodrigo claims the death of his daughter so devastated him that he couldn't get out of bed, Noel's not having any of that. Rodrigo's always looking for the perfect excuse, Noel says. But nothing justifies his cowardice!

That's enough! Leonarda spits out; they don't need to be arguing in the middle of the street, she says, glancing around. She cattily adds she sees Noel's going around with "widows" now, a shot at Mariela -- who warns she's well aware of Leonarda's depravity and not to mess with her.

Leonarda and he don't live together, Noel says, nothing ties them together, and Leonarda clearly flaunts her lover -- cane pointed at Rodrigo; so he doesn't mind telling her that he's started the legal process to remove every entanglement still binding them. Leonarda heaves a great, facetious sigh; and Noel and Mariela walk on.

The two of them reach a solitary park bench; and Noel is about to apologize, but Mariela needs none. They sit together, where Noel must capitulate and declare his love, under the onslaught of Mariela's warm, seductive ways. He's very serious, he insists; since they met he's not stopped thinking about her.

And he'd like to know whether she feels anything for him and if he could expect... he stammers; well, she knows he's arranging his affairs so that he can be free to offer her something serious and proper, he begins. Mariela takes pity on his discomfort, intrigued by this turn of conversation.

Noel, she says, smiling shyly; he must know that she feels something special for him, too. Noel's face lights up with joy and relief. She knows his story, Mariela continues; that he's never been loved. Haltingly, she reveals that she'd like it to be she who shows him what true love is -- because he deserves it.

Realization and pleasure dawns on Noel's face as he concludes that this means, that she means, that she agrees... he runs on. Mariela places her fingers over his lips and finishes, that she agrees. With a tender smile, she agrees to join together with him and find love again. Taking up Mariela's hand, Noel lingeringly kisses it as his black eyes blaze at her from under his top hat.

At the finca on the entry landing, Leonarda must remove a muslin dust cover to sit on the settee. Glancing around, she bemoans that her family is in shambles and nothing is the same; she's lost everything! Even her son; but one thing she will not lose is her freedom, she vows. She will not go to prison; she'll never let them lock her up. Never!

And at his townhouse, Rodrigo dwells on Noel berating him. With a big gulp of cognac, Rodrigo realizes that he trusts no one now, not even former friends, like Noel. He's sure that any of them would be happy to do him harm, and that Noel will probably show up there; so he'd better high himself out to the finca, he decides.

Another lightning storm engulfs the finca, as a pair of boots enters the straw-strewn catacombs, greeted by a resident rodent. Leonarda sleeps in her chamber, now gazed upon by a shadowy figure outside the door. Lit by a sudden flash, the boots enter the chamber; and Leonarda awakens, asking who goes there.

But before she can strike a match, she drops the box in surprise when the storm reveals the familiar face of her true lover. You? she asks breathlessly. But that's impossible! The huge, leonine head of Arcadio peers back at her in the flashing light.

At the cottage, Regina's stumped at Juan accusing her. She didn't seek out Renato; he found her! What's more, she was looking for Juan, she effuses excitedly. Regina has a wonderful surprise... she begins. But Juan interrupts, shouting instead that he has a surprise for her!

What an idiot he is, he grits out, jabbing a finger at her; when will he ever learn that as a Montes de Oca, Regina is his worst enemy! Regina is completely mystified; what is he talking about? Why does he doubt her love? Pushing the wad of Aimee's annulment letter at her, he says Here! This is what he's talking about!

She started annulment proceedings on their marriage, did she not? Juan accuses. Regina, in shock, takes the paper, as Juan nastily charges that now Aimee is dead, the way to Renato is free, isn't it? Hearing this, a furious Regina instantly hauls back and lays a blistering smack against Juan's face.

How dare he say that; and how dare he malign her sister with her not here to defend herself! Regina shouts. Looking down in desolation at the crumpled paper, Regina thinking of the baby, regrets this could have been a wonderful day; but now it's destroyed by his doubts, she says.

Bitter tears coming, Regina also regrets that he will always be Juan del Diablo! Sobbing, she exits the room, leaving Juan with his big face hanging out. He follows, sounding contrite, begging to speak with her. He just wants to know the truth, he says; he wants to know if she started the annulment procedure.

But the stunned and silent Regina only inflames Juan's ire. Why does she keep silent? Her silence makes him think it proves the damned letter is the truth! he shouts. Regina turns to him and tearfully points out it's not her silence, crumpling the paper again; it's his stupidity!

She's forgiven him before, Regina says, but this is too much -- too many times he's doubted her love. And does he know why he doubts? It's because he still hasn't learned what it is to be loved! He resists it! Resists love. Regina can't fight his doubts any more, because she can't win.

She can't convince him of her love, and she prays to heaven that the day he's convinced doesn't come too late. Juan looks a little abashed and confused; but when Regina tells him she doesn't want to have anything to do with him anymore, it's a blow.

In Leonarda's bed chamber, Arcadio confirms she can believe her eyes; it's really him. Hypnotically, he explains he's the only one who never abandoned her; he's always tied to her and what happens at the finca. He heard a rumor the Montes de Oca were in shambles, and that's why he's here.

Leonarda seems entranced, and when Arcadio assures her he's there so she doesn't have to worry, she cries in relief. Referring to himself in third person, he continues his mesmerizing recitation: Arcadio has returned to protect her and take care of her, as always.

Leonarda goes to him and whimpers gratefully that he's returned to protect her. He was gone so long, she thought he'd gone far away, she says. But no, he continues soothingly, he was not so far away -- he was always close by to stay informed. He heard what happened. Appealing with open arms, he explains he's the only one she can trust. Leonarda wrings her hands and nods assent.

Everyone has abandoned her, Arcadio points out -- including her son! At that moment, Renato sits drinking cognac and remembering the horseback scene earlier. Shaking his head, he tells himself derisively that Juan will always be the savage, and he can't allow Juan to mistreat Regina. Renato's going to proceed with the annulment right away, he determines.

At Fulgencio's, Eloísa can't sleep and carefully rises from bed so as not to wake her husband. She's sure Fulgencio is lying to her; he doesn't trust her. Much better she grabs the money and jewelry and runs before he offs her, she decides. Under the fluffy peignoir, Eloísa is fully dressed, and she slips out into the hallway.

At the cottage, Regina can't believe Juan demands she answer yes or no to whether she started the annulment. Can't he see he's offending her? He's never going to understand her feelings, and she always falls for believing they can weather anything, which is sadly untrue, she says. Juan disappoints by insisting Aimee must have known something to send that letter.

In her bedroom, Arcadio distresses Leonarda, pointing out he warned her about Rodrigo, but she wouldn't believe him. He, Arcadio, was always everything to her! he insists. It's true, and she has no one to turn to, she admits. When Leonarda begs Arcadio to stay with her, she tries to take his hand; but he pulls away.

She takes it again and pleads that he not abandon her. He'll stay, he says; but only on condition that she split the secretly hoarded fortune from all these years. And moving to the bed, he adds that she'll belong to him and nobody else! Everything will go his way. How about it? Arcadio says with an outstretched hand.

Back at the cottage, Juan allows that Aimee was a liar and fooled everybody; but there was always a kernel of truth in her lies. And when Regina won't answer the simple question, it makes him wonder if she doesn't think much of him. When Juan posits that maybe she wants her freedom start a new life, Regina can't believe it.

Why would she do that? she asks. Juan throws up his arms -- how does he know, to dream that Renato loves her? Now that he's a widower, Juan says, jabbing a finger at Regina's nose, all she needs is an annulment. Regina maintains it's his imagination, and he has no proof at all. Everything he's saying stems from his pride, she insists.

Regina begs him not to fall back into that. Juan doesn't like it, but she won't give him his answer; so he shouts Whatever! and strides out of the house. With Juan standing at the window outside, Regina moves to and fro inside. She almost follows him, but doesn't. They each stand in the aftermath of their argument alone on their own side of the wall.

At Fulgencio's, Eloísa nearly backs out, but decides she must move forward with her plan. Entering the study, she gives herself a fright knocking something to the floor; she doesn't want Fulgencio to awaken and find her. Eloísa's just beginning to crack the safe when she's startled by the squeak of a hinge, and the door opens behind her.

Worrying in the cottage, Regina gets a twinge of morning sickness and is momentarily joyful about becoming a mother; but then gets sad again remembering how she hoped Juan would go crazy at the news, too. Cradling her abdomen she smiles and resolves to fight for her baby, even if it has to be alone.

Eloísa nearly faints from relief it's not Fulgencio coming through the study door, but instead a black cat. Apparently not superstitious, she sends the cat back out and returns to safe cracking. She laughs thinking of Fulgencio finding his loving wife has left him, carrying away all his fortune.

Now he's going to pay, Eloísa says grudgingly, for all those years she had to put up with him. With a click, the combination works, and she stands back to enjoy this portentous moment. Behind this door, she says, are the hopes and dreams that will give her a new life! Pulling it open, Eloísa gets a bullet between the eyes.

Awakened by the gunshot, Fulgencio enters the study, kneels to kiss his dead wife's hand, and closes her staring eyes. Regretfully he recalls he always warned her that the price of betrayal was death. With a last longing gaze, he orders Servando to put her with Federico and clean up every drop of blood.

At the bluffs above the surf, Fulgencio stands as Servando lugs two body bags to the edge. Fulgencio always thought he'd die before Eloísa, he says, looking up; and be buried on such a night full of stars. Tossing a red rose on her shroud, he tells Eloísa that he truly loved her and that it's too bad she couldn't appreciate him.

To Federico, Fulgencio says he got what was coming to him for betraying Fulgencio, poor bastard. The man hasn't been born who can get away with that, he vows. Fulgencio orders Servando to heave them over the edge, but be careful of Eloísa; she's a lady -- and his wife, after all. And they tumble down the cliff.

Turning to Servando now, Fulgencio repeats that whoever betrays him dies; and Servando tries to talk himself up, but Fulgencio skewers him, too. Who knows, perhaps we'll see each other in hell, Fulgencio says; and Servando joins the two body bags at the shore line.

Leonarda lies with Arcadio in bed, where she agrees to share everything with him and be his woman. He promises to spoil her, give her whatever she wants -- as long as she's faithful to him, of course. Meanwhile, Rodrigo has arrived at the finca and looks for Leonarda. He startles them by knocking at her bedroom door.

At a bonfire on the beach, Juan tortures himself over the annulment; he can't believe Regina would start it, but she wouldn't deny it! He fills Remigio in on their argument, and Remigio has lost patience. Why doesn't Juan see Regina's telling him he's got it all wrong?

But Juan needs to know for sure, because he intends to let her do what would make her happy. If she really did start the annulment and wants to be free, he won't keep her -- as much as it would break his heart, Juan says.

There's not a dry eye in the house as Jimena and Mariela are officially reunited as mother and daughter. Even Salma's getting a little misty-eyed.

At Casa Fully, he threatens Eloisa with the bloody knife as she screams "forgive me" through her gag. Fully gives her a shalow cut on the neck and un-gags her. She keeps begging forgiveness and admits she did plot to kill him, but, umm….it was all Fed's fault! Fully says if she really loved him, nothing would have convinced her to turn against him. She had it all, but now she's lost it. Eloisa swears she'll make it up to him. She'll be the bestest wife ever if he just forgives her!

At Captain Breton's office, Phillipe and Lulu confront Leonarda and Rod. Breton wanted a private hearing so that there won't be any further scandal. Rod says it's all a waste of time, since neither he nor Leo did anything. They begin with the accusation that Rod unfairly had Juan DD Sr. locked up. The old Aguacil says Rod had him accused of stealing the family jewels. Breton points out that it's his understanding that Rod did this to keep Juan from marrying Maria del Rosario. He lays into Rod and Leo for objecting to MdR and Juan getting married just because Juan was a fisherman. Despite the claims of the old Aguacil and his assistant, Rod insists that he only wanted Juan locked up, not tortured, and certainly not locked up for life. Oh, well, when you put it that way. *roll eyes*

Fully wants Eloisa to suffer a painful death. Eloisa offers eternal slavery. Fully will give her one more chance, because he "loves" her. She can only leave the house with him. Eloisa is so grateful, she agrees. Servando comes in and Fully gives the order to release Eloisa. She shivers with fear. Serves her right! Fully tells her to go take a nap and they'll talk later. Eloisa can't get gone fast enough. Servando shuts the door and asks if he thinks Eloisa has learned her lesson. Fully says only time will tell. He tells Servando to clean up Fed's blood, then leaves his study. Servando finally breathes.

Breton tells Rod to sit down. He asks the old Aguacil what the truth is. "Mr. Montes de Oca is the one who's lying. Don Rodrigo wanted him locked up and dead…and a painful death, too." It's a case of he said/he said. Breton has to tell Rod to sit down again. Rod did bribe an officer of the law, which is bad enough in itself. Breton has the secretary put that in the record.

Dr. Miranda now accuses them of killing his uncle. Leo says it's all too much, they're going to blame them for every death! Doc Miranda says the night his uncle died, they commited several crimes: leaving MdR for dead; abandoning JDD Jr. to his fate. He's sure his uncle tried to stop it and/or was coming to town to turn them in. He figures they did him in to keep that for happening. Rod says the old Aguacil investigated and found nothing to implicate him. The old Aguacil says there was no investigation and he always suspected Rod and Leo did it. Miranda asks if it isn't a crime to leave a newborn out to die. Leo says she was sending the kid to an orphanage, but the coachman, Celestino, left him out there and never told anyone. Breton now asks if Leo never realized that MdR wasn't dead. Leo says Arcadio told her that MdR was dead and she believed him. How could she have imagined that Arca kept her locked up at the finca? "Do you really think I could do something like that to my own sister?" Oh, lady, we're not even going to dignify that with an answer. "Who do you think I am?" Rod tells her to calm down.

Renato is looking for Reggie at her house, but she's not there. He has no intention of getting in the way of her and Juan. He just wants to apologize for kissing her by force. Clemencia is shocked that he dared. She tells him to leave Reggie alone. "You're acting just like Aimee! She always wanted what wasn't hers and look what happened to her!" Renato says he really does love Regina. Clem reminds him that Reggie doesn't love him back. She loves Juan and that's what counts. Renato claims he'll leave her alone when he's sure that Reggie doesn't love him anymore. He's convinced there's a part of her that still does and he won't rest until she realizes that he can make her happy. Pobre de Clemencia. You just can't argue with those Montes de Locas. Regina may be the only one who's never lost touch with reality.

The fishermen play around at catching Santos with their nets. They tell Juan that Regina was there looking for him, and she said she had a big surprise for him. Juan doesn't want to see her right now and says he'll stay and help them. He tells them that he got a letter from Aimee saying that Regina asked for an anulment. Pedro has just about had it with him. No, on second though, he has had it! Juan is whining that at first Regina thought he was "poca cosa". "Then you know what? You're absolutely right. If you think you're not good enough, then you're not. She needs someone who loves her, trusts her, supports her…and if you're not that guy, then you don't deserve her!" Pedro goes off, angry.

Gabe thanks his bro, Branko for getting Salma to tell the truth. Aw, shucks, it was nothing. And now he knows his love for Jimena was impossible, because she's not a gypsy. Gabe asks if blood is really the most important thing. Branko says no, love is more important, but he made an oath to his parents and he can't break it. So, what about Salma? Branko doesn't answer.

Salma apologizes to Jimena for making up crap and hurting her. She swears she's sorry and Branko made her understand that greed would drive her to "perdicion." Jimena wants to know why Salma did it. She says she thought she didn't have another way of getting Branko's attention. She tried to tell the truth once, but she was tempted by fake grandpa's wanting to make her his sole heir. Jimena says she did a lot of harm to Señora…"No, to MY MOTHER!" Salma can't be at peace unless Jimena forgives her. Jimena's lips say "te perdono" but her tone of voice says "pudrete en el infierno!" Salma asks for a hug and Jimena obliges. She tells Salma she forgives her for giving back her mother. Jimena remembers her mother singing the nursery rhyme to her. The grandparents come in and now they have no more doubt that Jimena is their granddaughter. Grandma taught the song to Mariela, and Mariela taught it to her. Grandpa joins in on the love-fest. Grandpa asks forgiveness, which Jimena gives much more convincingly than she did to Salma.

Branko says he and Salma need to get going. Grandpa tells Salma they don't hold anything against her. She says she's grateful for everything they did for her. They really made her feel like part of the family. Salma isn't sure if the gypsies will take her back. She looks to Branko. Grandma offers to take her to Puebla if she doesn't have anywhere else to go. Branko says Salma will come back with him and explain her bad behavior and how everyone has forgiven her. He doesn't think they'll reject her. He's been thinking, and he realizes she was influenced by Grizelda, who's disappeared. After seeing her repentance, he realizes she's a decent person and he could maybe learn to love her. She asks him to forgive her for all the stupid crap she pulled to try to get his attention. Dude, make an honest woman out of her and keep her out of trouble. Branko says when they get back to the camp, they'll get married. Salma is thrilled and finally gets to plant a big ol kiss on his scruffy face.

Eloisa looks in the mirror at her scratch and curses Fed for intending to betray her. She looks around her bedroom, paranoid, and says she has to be careful from now on. He might be intending to kill her after all and she'll need to escape as soon as possible.

Breton moves on to the next accusation of bribing the old Aguacil to capture and torture Juan del Diablo. Rod says he didn't know who Juan was and he only wanted Juan locked up for interrupting his daughter's wedding reception, as was proper. What happened after that wasn't his fault. The artist formerly known as the Aguacil says his orders were to apprehend and kill Juan. Rod says "Well, you didn't have any obligation to obey me." Breton is sick of hearing Rod's crap. He's tired of hearing about what respectable people they are.

Remigio tries to talk to Juan about how his fears will drive him to make dumbass mistakes. "Be careful and don't get carried away by your impulses." Juan finally says Pedro's right, but that letter is getting to him. He's afraid of losing Reggie, of course. He begs God for help. He tells Remi he promises he'll go tell Reggie how much he loves her, but they've all taken off. Santos, still stuck in the net ignores him. Juan walks off.

Breton now brings up Brigitte's murder. Lulu explains they had financial troubles at the casino and went to offer Rod a partnership, but she never returned.

Noel hugs Mariela in congratulations and the grandparents realize something is up. Oh, I didn't mean that in a dirty way, but hey, Noel's still a fairly young guy.

Juan and Remi stand looking at the ocean. Remi tells him to go find Reggi already and find out what the surprise is. I thought we did this already? Juan says he's going. Again.

Breton asks Doc Miranda about the attempt on Rosenda's life. Rod says he had nothing to do with that slut. Miranda loses his temper and gets chastised by Breton.

Juan has a folded piece of paper in his hands. He makes it a ball and throws it away. Then he has a second thought, picks it up unfolds it and reads it. It is the annulment document. Now, how did Aimee got hold of this document? Wasn’t Ren supposed to send it someplace to have the marriage annul? Juan has the thought that Reggie requested the annulment of their matrimony and his first impulse is to go and Reggie for an explanation. For the first time during the length of this TN Juan makes the right assumption and thinks before he makes any judgments, he has to clear his mind and then he'll talk to Reggie. He says he isn't even sure of the veracity of this document.

Elo is tied up to a chair. Gagged and making a lot of noise. Fed is opening Fully's safe. He finally opens it and when he opens the door, the safe is booby trapped. The second the safe door opens a gun is triggered and Fed is finally history! Fed had finally what he deserved. Fed couldn't believe his eyes when he saw the gun. He didn't have enough time to react. The shot got him between his eyes. He fall down in slow motion blood coming out of his mouth and a WTF look in his face to finally rest on his beloved’s lap. Elo is screaming over the gag and she seems to be pretty scared. Elo is breathing pretty heavy. Suddenly we see a hand reaching out from beneath a desk. Slowly a figure is coming into view. It's Fully! He walks slowly towards Elo and says to her do you realize my dear Elo never stop believing in miracles because they truly exist. We see a shot of Fed’s face for dramatization. Fully walks behind Elo and puts knife to her throat. I am almost sure that by now Elo soiled on her undergarments.

Everyone is in black at la finca del mar. Reggi comes in and tells Noel and Clem that is time for them to leave.

Branco and Salma are at the Marin's house. Serv is spying them and asks himself the question. "What are these two doing at de Marin's. I better notify Fully." I don’t really understand why he has to notify fully about these two going to de Marin’s. Lulu doesn't want to let Salma and Branco in the house but they say they want to talk to Mari. They beg Lulu to let them talk to her. Lulu says that Mary is very ill because of Salma;s doing. Salma begs her again and tells Lulu "you were right when you told me that when you do damage to someone your soul is chained." Salma asks Lulu to forgive her and asks Lulu to give her the opportunity to ask for Mari's forgiveness. Branco said that they have very important news to give Mari.

Leo is telling Ren not to insist because she is not leaving the house. Leo is not going to let Clem take possession of her things. Ren tells her, too bad mother I already sign up the documents and we have to vacate the premises. Leo, no, no, and no. Ren moms please take it easy I already bought a house en el puerto and we can move there and live in peace. Leo, well you'll move by yourself because I'm going to die here. Ren tells her I'll leave you alone to think and meditate. Leo, tells Renato she’ll never, never, never, leave the house.

Mari comes and asks Selma what the heck is she doing there. Mari asks her is she came to rejoice in her pain. Mari also asks Salma if she came to tell her more lies. Salma says no senora I came to ask for your forgiveness. Mari, perdon, perdon, you think is that easy? You played with my heart. You gave me false hopes. I gave you my love and affection. Why did you do it Salma, why? What wrong did I do to you that made you hurt me that way? Salma, you never hurt me and I know I don't deserve forgiveness, but I beg you to forgive me in the name of what you love the most. Mari, what I want the most is to find my daughter. Is the only thing I want, find my daughter, find Angela. Your wish has come true Senora. You have been close to your daughter for a long time. Mari, please stop playing with my feelings. Branco, no senora, Salma is telling the truth. We know who your daughter is. That's why we are here. Mari, no you are lying. What you want is money. Branco, no senora, from the bottom of my heart I tell you we are not laying. Mari walks towards Salma, grabs her by the shoulders and demands to be told who her daughter is. For some reason, Salma doesn't say. Probably she is waiting for someone to walk in and stop the confession.

Back to Fully and Elo. Fully is still holding the knife to her throat. Fully, my dear and lovely Elo. I never knew you were so stupid. How could you give yourself to Fed? That poor bastard. Elo tries to deny it, but Fully warns her. Don't even try I saw you at the dressmaker's house. I saw with my own eyes how you kissed him and how you made love to him. I would never forget that image; I think just now Elo is realizing how deep in trouble she is. You my beautiful wife how could you? And look how Fed was going to pay you. He was going to leave you here tied to this chair taking my money. He was going to make you look to be the only one responsible. Fed was only using you my naive and stupid wife. OK I added the last bit. Fed never loved you. He was going to kill you in order to keep all your money you stupid cow. It seems Elo is saved by the bell, at least for now. Serv walks in the room. Fully tells Serv how easily Fed walk in to the trap. Fully orders Serv to put Fed's body in the basement and they'll decide later what to do with it. Fully, I would've done anything for you Elo, but you preferred to betray me. Now you are going to die. I'll give just the time to entrust your soul like the sinner that you are. The blade is all bloody and Elo is about to meet with her maker whoever that is.

The servants are covering the furniture at la casona.Renato walks in one the rooms and looks very sad.

Mari is still shaking Salma (I guess Salma is ready now for James Bond to drink her, shaken not stirred) and begging to be told who her daughter is. Salma doesn't say anything and I think Branco had it like all of us. Branco tells Mari that Jime is her daughter. Mari can't believe it. She looks at Salma, and Salma shakes her head, yes.

Jime and Gabe are walking on the beach talking about their love and how much they'll like o be married. I'm sorry but there's nothing here to report. Too sticky sweet for me.

Mari can't believe and asks them what are you saying the Jime is my daughter? Salma, yes senora. Branco convinced me to tell you the truth. Mari, I won't believe you. You lied to me once. Probably you are lying to me again so my dad doesn't go to the authorities. Branco, tells her, no senora if it wasn't the truth we won't be here. We don't want any money or any reward the only thing we want is to have our conscience in peace. De Marin and Mari's parents walk in the house. Abuelo asks what you are doing here. It was no enough for you all the hurt you caused us? Abuela, what do you want? What new devilry are you planning for us? Salma, I am not going to defend myself. I accept all of you are pissed at me, that's why I gather the courage to come and tell you how sorry I am for what I did. De Marin tells her that nothing is going to erase all the bad things she did. Abuelo, tells why are you here? Mari tells them the news about Jime being her real daughter. Everyone is very surprised and I am sure the abuelos must be feeling pretty bad after the way they treated Jime. Salma and Branco tells them the story how Grizzy and Serv kidnapped Jime and how Grizzy coached Salma to pretend to be Angela. So yeah, Jimena is Mari's daughter.

Serv has reached the basement with Fed's body and is complaining about the weight. He is going to cover it, but before that he decides to empty Fed's pocket because Fed is not going to need it where he's going. I never liked you arrogant bastard. After Serv empties Fed’s pockets he leaves the basement and maybe to add some drama Fed’s body moves and falls.

Clem asks Noel for his permission to go out. Noel asks where? Clem says she is going to go to the market with Reggie. Reggie wants to be like the women of the fishermen. Noel, says how different are Reggie and Aimee. Even though Aimee caused us a lot of grief I still can't accept her dead. Clem, says yes I understand you because I feel the same way. Clem, Ren wanted to give her everything and she did everything she could to kill his love. Noel, yes and even though she knew Reggie and Juan loved each other she did the impossible to try to separate them. Clem, Aimee could never accept that she couldn't own everything. If something didn't belong to her, it couldn't belong to anybody else. That’s why she never accepted that Juan didn’t want her anymore. Noel, I think Aimee needed her mother's love. I don't think Rod in all his selfishness gave her all the love she need it. I am sorry Noel, but Rod gave Reggie less love and Reggie is different. Clem tells Noel about the letter Constanza left and that MDR read it and the letter's content. Noel can't believe it. Clem reminds him of how times at day Leo gave Consty a tea of some sort to make her "feel better." Clem is convinced Leo offed Constanza.

Leo is being escorted out of the house by the guards she says what about Rod? Rod is also being escorted by the guards. Rod also wonders about Leo. These two are going to play the blame game.

Jime and Gabe arrive at De Marin's. Lulu greets them and tells them that Mari is waiting for Jime very anxious. Jime gets all nervous and asks if Mari got sick. Lulu reassures her and tells her they have surprise for her. Jime goes in the living room and sees Salma and Branco. Jime gets upset and asks Salma what in the devil is she doing there? Mari tells Jime to calm down. I have to tell you something. I am very excited and I hope you'll share this excitement when I tell you why Salma is here.

Reggie is in bed feeling sick wondering what is wrong with her. Je, je, je, we know what is wrong with her.

Remi is screaming at Juan for doubting Reggie. I take back what I said at the beginning of this recap about Juan. The poor last neuron on his brain is working overtime now. Remi is trying to make him reason.

Clem came to get Reggie to go to the market. Reggie tells Clem about the ways she feels and Clem tells Reggie she is pregnant.

Remi continues his session with Juan. Remi tells him if you doubt Reggie and this separate you of her then Aimee have won. Juan says you are right I have to believe in her love. Does she love me? Remi has an, oh please look, and leaves. I guess Remi had enough stupidity for a lifetime from Juan and leaves. Juan scream answer me, does she love me?

I tell you Reggie and Clem can tele-port. They are at Pablo's office and he has already examined her. Pablo confirms the good news. Reggie is beside herself and says she is going to give her husband the good news. We know that probably Juan won't know until the end.

Juan is holding a red rose. I think he is visiting Aimee. Aimee is buried at the same tomb MDR was "buried" Why is he there? Anyway, he’s telling Aimee about her last letter and how he never understood her reasons to try to separate him of Reggie. He tells Aimee that he won't allow her to become between him and Reggie. He tells her he never loved her. All he felt from her was passion the same she felt for him. We are treated against our will to some scene of passion in the love cave, when Juan went to la finca on the wedding day. We see la espada y la rosa scene once more. You don't know what love is. I love you sister with all my soul.

De Marin and the grandparents are talking about how if Jime is not Mari's daughter it would kill her. Jime tells Mari what is that thing so important she has to tell her. Mari goes around in circle and Jime is clueless. Then Mari tells her you are my Angela. You are my daughter. Jime can't believe it. Salma tells her is the truth and tells her how Grizzy and serv kidnapped her when she was alittle girl. Branco reaffirms it. Jime and Mari hug each other. Mari, I waited so long for this moment. Now I understand the connection we had.

Capitulo #124

Leo is telling Ren she knew everything about Aimee and Juan and that Aimee married Ren just for his money. Ren asks Leo why she never said anything while Aimee was alive. Leo doesn't know how to answer. Rod chimes in and syas it was because Aimee was going to give you a child, and we had to endure and keep our mouths shut. Leo says that was just another one of her lies. Rod asks, what are you talking about? Leo, I always had my suspicions that she wasn't pregnant I spoke with Celia and Selia told me Aimee was never pregnant. Rod, Is not true. Leo if don't believe me asks Dr Pablo, he knows and he'll confirm that Aimee was lying (if memory serves me right Celia was the one with the brilliant idea, wasn't she? and when did Leo talk to Celia?). Ren is devastated, Noel comes in to be with his son and give him moral support. Noel tells his son that he loves him just the ways he is. Ren is mumbling about how Aimee betrayed and lied to him. All Ren can mutter is "me engano, me engano" She decieved me, she deceived me...

Reggie is crying by Aime's body. Clem walks in and calls her mi nina. She is dead, she is dead. more crying...

Juan is talking to Remi telling him the news. Juan tells Remi that he doesn't know how Aimee died and he didn't deemed tactful to ask. Remi asks him how is he felling. juan answers that he doesn't know, but he says it hurts a lot. But that is the way Aimee was, she love danger. She live at the edge of dead looking to do dangerous stuff, that's why her life had to end this way. Remi, I don't know what to say. Juan, me neither, with Aimee I knew unbridled passion but everything in life has its limits. You understand? limits, like the ones I put on myself to conquer Reggie. I a wallis built to stop the ocean. Reggie would be mine. Of course it hurts me that Aimee dies but no for my cause it is because of Reggie because she is the suffering the most.

Clem crying over Aimee's body, you never stopped a anything, you insisted to live your life agains the whole world and looke what happened, the world defeated you. I blame all of us for not understanding your rebellions and to save you. Please forgive us, please. More crying... Reggie please Nana lets clean her up and leave her the way she always wanted to be. Lets live as beautiful as she was. Aimee was one of the beauty of the port. I want everyone to remember her the way she was. more crying... They got up pour and pour some water to clean Aimee up.

Noel to Ren, My son please take it easy. Ren, screaming, how do you want to take it easy when all I find on my way is lies and more lies and betrayal. This house is full of lies. Leo, we only did it protect you. Ren, the only thing it did was lead to Aimee's dead. You know what was her lie and betrayal? Aimee wasn't expecting a child, everything was false. Noel, what are you talking about? Ren, just that. Noel, it can't be, such infamy and betrayal. My God this was what they wanted to tell me, Clem and Reggie, they knew about it. Ren, and as always I am the last to find out. Noel tells him, not my son I didn't know either. Leo tries to get close to Ren, crying telling him how much he has suffered and all because of that bad woman. Ren steps back and yells at her to not get closer. Leo tries to hug him and he tells her in disgust not to touch him, you betrayed me also. Ren walks away while Leo can't believe her son is treating her this way. Well Leo I guess that finally you are starting to pay up your debts to humanity.

Reggie is praying in Latin does the sign of the cross with a white rose and then lays it on Aimee. I don't know you, but I don't like to see dead people that way. It is just too creepy for me. Reggie continues crying and is blaming herself for not being a good sister to Aimee. Clem says no you were the best sister, if someone is to blame is me. I fail Dona Constanza. Yep, blaming yourselves is going to bring her back, that always works. Reggie and Clem lean on each other. Clem continues with her guilty charade, I didn't fulfill my promise of caring for you two, specially Aimee. What is Clem talking about? Didn't Rod took the two girls to Europe when they were little and brought them back when they were all grown up? Please Clem get a grip! Clem continues to talk to Aimee's body. you could have had everything and be so happy. You had everything, but you always wanted what was forbidden, the impossible and that was your downfall. It is Reggie's turn to talk to the body, you had a rebellious soul, Aimee I ask for your forgiveness, for not being able to understand you. Clem, says I too ask for your forgiveness for not knowing how to guide you, know I only hope you can rest in peace. more crying...

Rod, Ren is now acting as the victim, but my daughter is the one who died. Noel, tells Rod to shut his pie hole, do not mess with my son. Unfortunately, Aimee is the only one to blame for her own dead. Rod tells Noel that he is tired of Noel's insolence. Noel replies you won't have to put up with them for much longer. You and I are going to settle our accounts, our duel is still on. Rod responds, I'll be there at first light before my daughter is buried. Noel answers, then just one of us would be a the burial, the other one would be dead. Rod echoes Noel, would be dead. Noel to Rod, to death Rod, to death. Rod repeats, to death. Leo, tells Rod that everything is going down hill and that soon all their crimes are going to be uncovered.

It is finally morning at finca del mar. Clem is still talking to Aime's corpse, She is as beautiful as she always was. Reggie grabs Aimee's left hand and places it on Aimee's stomach, then grabs the right hand and kisses it. I'm not dr, but how long does it take for rigor to set. Aimee has been dead for some hours now and Reggie is holding and moving her hands as if Aimee was sleeping. Just saying. Anyway, Reggie places a rosary in Aimee's hands, then we get a close up of Aime's face and Reggie saying how beautiful Aimee looks. Reggie tells Clem that she is going to go out and tell Ren that he can come in. Reggie leaves the room as Clem kneels by the bed side. Ren is sitting outside the room holding his face in his hands. Reggie tells him that he can go in to see Aimee. What is there to see? She is dead and he knows it. He brought her in for crying out loud. Ren is still sporting the blood stained shirt, he takes his time deciding to go in or not. Finally he makes up his mind and slowly gets up. He walks into the room, him and Clem hug, then he just stands there looking at Aimee's corpse.

Aerial view of the port of Veracruz, I think. It is duel time. Noel and Gabe are already there, Rod is no where to be seen. Gabe is holding the box with the two guns. Gabe says Rod is not going to show up. it's just as we thought, that man is a coward. For some reason unknown to me Gabe opens the box in front of Noel and says Don Noel, we get a to see of the what is inside the box. Noel picks up one of the guns, raises his arm and then aims at the distance. Maybe they had to take a shot even if the other person didn't show up. I don't know, I am not a duel expert.

Aerial view of finca del mar Ren is still standing in front of Aimee's body talking to her about how much he loved her and how little she loved him. No one talked to Aimee this much in her lifetime. they have chosen this moment when she can't hear them to talk to her. Ren is telling her how happy they would've been if she had love him the same way he loved her. He goes on about how Aimee was a liar and I'm tired of this already. He is telling her that he loved her with all his soul and how unhappy she made him. But he forgives her and wishes her with all his hart that she finds peace at last and God forgives her. What a kind soul Ren is, he forgives her now that she is dead. and after he tried to kill her.

Fully's house. Elo comes in his office carrying a try and asks him if he is going out today. Fully says not I'm waiting for my good body Fed to do some business. Fed will be here shortly. Fully asks why do you need anything, she says no I just came to bring you this infusion it was brought directly from the city, they say is miraculous and has healing properties. I'm sure it does, if Fully drinks that he won't suffer from anything else ever. Fully pretends he is going to sip from the cup, then he start thinking about Elo and Fed at the dressmaker's house. Fully doesn't drink the tea and asks his lovely wife to leave him alone to work and he'll drink it while working. Elo, agrees but no before insisting he drinks the tea. Fully gets a gun out of one of the drawers and tells the gun, " this is going to be a day with a lot of surprises." Fully stands and walks towards a window? Elo is impatient, she walks in the office again and start nagging Fully about not drinking the tea while is hot. She said that if it gets cold it'll lose all its healing and relaxing qualities. I bet it would. probably it'll take longer for him to die. Fully gun in hand turns around straighten his back and repeats "it's healing and relaxing qualities." Elo is pretty scared because she had never seen Fully with his back straight. Fully aims his gun at her. Elo is saying Fully, no, no Fully, noooo! She drops the cup and not a drop was spilled. huh.

Rod is still in bed. Elo walks in and said she thought he was at the duel. Rod says he is not feeling well, he is too sad and tired that he couldn't assist to the duel. Yeah, Rod we hear you. Rod says he won't be able to go to Aimee's burial. Leo tells him he better put his act togehter because he is going to Aimee's burial if he doesn't people are going to talk.

Fed tells her at last you killed him, we have accomplished what we set out for., here I have the safe's combination on a piece of paper. Fed hasn't noticed the Elo is tied to the chair. Fed goes on asking Elo how she did, the he realizes Elo is gagged and tied to the chair. Fed walks towards her and Fully enters the room. Fully hits him with his walking cane and tells him they were waiting for him. Fed fells on the desk, Fully hits him again and Fed is on the ground. Fully tells Fed that him Fully is where he is now is not because he is an idiot. He reminds Fed what he once told him that betrayal is paid with more betrayal. Fed tells him, did you really think Elo married you for your looks, did you really believed she was the devoted wife she pretended to be? Elo is looking at him like shut the f up. Fed gives Fully the news that Elo married him for his money. Fully tells him you think you know everything, don't you. But you forget that I am older ans wiser than you.

Fed tells Elo first I am going to get the money from this box and then you have to open the others or I'll kill you myself. Fed start to open the box. Elo can;t believe what she is hearing and seeing. Fed is having a thought time opening the safe. Serv is walking about town. He leans against a house wall and thinks about that night when Fully was about to kill him and he promised Fully he'll help him find out who was betraying him. Serv thinks that now more than ever he should convince Fully about his allegiance to him

Serv sees Branco and Salma walking on the streets together. he hides from them.

Celia is in her room thinking about the letter and that she should give it to Juan to fulfill Aimee's kind of last wish. Celia takes the letter and leaves.

Everyone is back from the cemetery. Noel asks Clem to go back with him to the notaria. Reggie wants to leave with them. Ren takes that opportunity to ask Reggie for a word with him. Reggie says there's nothing to talk about between them. He begs her ans she agrees to talk to him. They walk into his office. Noel and Clem are not too happy about it.

Celia says it was Aimee's last wish. Juan takes the letter and leaves.

Reggie asks Ren what's up? Ren says I know this is not the most appropriate moment (ya think Ren?) but I just want you to know that I'm still in love with you. Ren grabs Reggie by her shoulders, hopefully Coli is not around this time, Reggie has a WTF look on her face. I don't blame her I would too. Ren gives Reggie a kiss by force. Reggie pushes him away and slaps him,. Good for you Reggie, it was a very good one. Reggie asks him how could you? We just buried my sister.

And you are talking to me about love. I am ashamed of you. I am leaving because the only link we had is dead. I implore you not to seek me out anymore. Reggie leaves and Ren kicks something. the nerve of that guy.

Juan is walking on the beach with "the letter" on his hand he makes a ball and throws it away. He has a second thought and runs after it picks it up and opens it up. It is the annulment of his matrimony with Reggie. Juan talking to himself says Reggie asks for you matrimony to be annulled, I need to clarify this with her.

Jimena and Gabe are by the ocean. Jimena gets a bad feeling something is going to happen.

We get a replay of Renato picking up Aimee’s broken, lifeless body and bringing her back to the Finca. He lays her gently on the bed. He remembers the hateful things she said that led to all this. He pulls out his gun and says always it is Juan del Diablo. He heads out into the night.

Jimena and Gabe are still on the beach. Gabe says that whatever happens, happens. There’s nothing she can do. She says she knows but she feels it. He has more important things to tell her. Don Alberto would like to talk to her. Why does he want to talk to me? Just then he appears behind them. They want to apologize for being so rotten to you. Salma confessed that she was not really Angela. It was all a lie.

Speaking of the lying witch, she is back at the camp with Branko trying to weasel her way back. Branko is not inclined to let her. He says she lied to those people and it wasn’t cool.

Jimena is going on about how awful that must have been for Mariella. Gabe agrees. She wants to go to her and console her and make her feel better. Alberto says thank you and Jimena turns around. I guess she didn’t know he was there. He begs her to come back to the house to talk to Mariella. Let’s go right now.

Branko is ready to leave and leave Salma there by herself. She begs him not to go. Various gypsy folk talk Branko out of traveling at night because it is dangerous. Well, ok then. We’ll go in the morning.

Over at Fully’s he’s busy counting and sorting his money. He needs his doting wife’s help. He makes a big show of putting away the jewelry and the money and he tells her where everything is. He even gives her the combination to the big safe in the other room. Eloisa is practically giddy. In that safe everything is in her name in case something should happen to him. There is enough money to grant her her ever desire. She says all she cares about is him. He is the important thing in her life. I think he’s giving her enough rope to hang herself. She will be the richest woman in Veracruz.

Renato shows up at Juan’s. He asks Renato what he’s doing there in his house. Renato says he needs to speak privately with him. Regina, seeing the blood on Renato’s clothes wants to know what’s up. Juan suspects something is wrong and asks Regina to go into the other room. Juan gives him the hairy eyeball and asks what he wants. Renato says that Aimee confessed everything to him about Aimee and Juan. He pulls out his gun and points it at Juan. He should make him pay for being such a traitor.

Two men in the street are talking about Aimee’s graceful exit into the afterlife. Unfortunately Gabe, Jimena and Alberto walk up just in time to hear it. Alberto thinks it is such a shame that the family has to suffer another tragedy. Jimena is upset and is sure that is what she felt earlier. Gabe feels sorry for Juan and Regina.

Renato is still pointing his gun at Juan. He wanted to help him. Include him in the family. He sacrificed everything for him. And this is how you repay me by boinking my wife? Juan pushes his gun away and tells him that they were lovers on the boat to Veracruz. But then when he found out she was a MdeO they became enemies. He didn’t know she was even married until the day of their wedding. Juan says that if anyone was to blame it was Renato. He came between Juan and Aimee. They argue some more about who’s to blame and Renato points his gun at Juan’s head again. Many times I’ve wanted to come to you and ask for your forgiveness. We must go to her and confront her together. Renato puts the gun down and looks away. We see Celia standing outside the house. Renato says we can’t talk to Aimee. She can no longer speak. Juan asks what he is talking about and starts to look worried. What are you saying? Aimee is dead. Juan is shocked and repeats Aimee is dead. Regina walks out of the bedroom at that exact moment. She doesn’t believe it. She runs to Renato and begs him to tell her the truth. It can’t be true. Tell me the truth. Renato looks sick. Celia is shocked and runs off to who knows where.

Eloisa and Fed are happily getting together at the dressmaker’s house. They have a new plan. They are ecstatic. This can’t end well I wouldn’t think. She tells him that Fully gave her the combination to the big safe. Fed says this means that he trusts us. In your dreams maybe. The dressmaker meets with Servando who gives her a large bag of money and a kiss (ewww!) and tells her she will be richly rewarded if everything goes as planned.

Remigio is in his hut trying to tidy up. What happened to his hair? He gets frustrated when he breaks some dishes and can’t sweep them up himself. He says he’s good for nothing. For nothing! He turns around to find Lulu standing there. What are you doing here? I’ve brought you some food and I’d like to prepare it for you. But if it bothers you, I’ll leave. He asks her if she’s eaten yet. She says no not yet. They look at each other. I guess that means he wants her to stay.

Regina is still freaking out over the death of her sister. Renato says unfortunately it’s true. He conveniently leaves out the part about how he was chasing her with the Hounds of Hell on her heels so he could kill her himself. She says he’s lying. Juan tries to calm her down. I wish it was a lie but it is the truth. What happened? Why do you have all this blood? She tries to shake the big guy like a rag doll but doesn’t get far because Juan grabs her--and uh, well, Renato’s really big. She wants to see Aimee. She and Renato head for the Finca. Finally left alone, Juan says it can’t be. Aimee can’t be dead. Didn’t we just have this conversation?

Meanwhile, Celia has made it to Rod’s townhouse and given him the bad news. He doesn’t believe it. He grabs Celia and makes her repeat the story again. Because he obviously didn’t hear it the first time she shouts it in his face. What happened? What happened? Tell me. She doesn’t know. He wants to know how she heard it. She heard it from Renato. Celia runs out of the house crying. Rod goes crazy and repeats Aimee, Aimee and knocks over a table. I wonder how many times he’s turned over that table during this show? He suddenly grabs his left arm and makes a terrible face. Maybe his pie cart is coming for him sooner than we thought. He falls on the couch still clutching his left arm.

Servando is reporting back to Fully. So they plan on killing me tomorrow. Hmmm… It is about time for Fed and Eloisa to pay. Servando wants to know what the plan is. Fully wants the witch to prepare a potion that will put them in a deep sleep. What do you say? Servando says you can count on me. Vengeance is sweet and something about a cold plate.

Alberto and crew arrive back at the house and interrupt Noel and Mariella in a sweet moment. Mariella is so happy to see Jimena. They hug. Happy happy, joy joy! Alberto tells Noel he needs to talk with him. Poor Noel because you know what is coming next. Raul, Gabe and Alberto are standing around acting like somebody died--oh, wait, somebody did. Alberto tells him that he needs to be strong. Raul tells him that more than ever Renato needs him. Now he’s catching on. Gabe gets to be the one to break the bad news to him. Aimee is dead. Noel has to sit. Gabe tells him it was a terrible accident. (Accident my ass.)

Over in the jail the old sheriff and his pal are discussing Rodrigo and the new sheriff. FF>>

Noel has just told Clemencia and she collapses on the floor. FF>>

Renato is still wearing his bloody clothes and pouring himself a drink. He remembers finding the potion that Aimee had hidden in her hand and he changes his mind. Leo hears the racket and comes down wanting to know what happened to Aimee. He says they had a fight and he discovered she was trying to poison him. She ran and got away. He went looking for her and something I didn’t catch. Leo says something about the dogs. Renato says the only thing she was ever interested in was his money and his position. That’s why she married me. Rod takes that moment to make an appearance. His pie cart must have swerved. Damn! You killed my daughter. He gives Renato a good smack. Then just to make his point, he smacks him again. Rod says he’s going to pay for his crime. Leo pulls him off and says don’t you dare touch my son. It’s his fault that Aimee is dead. I’d kind of have to agree with him there. Leo says it is Aimee’s fault. They continue to argue whose fault it was. Leo says that Aimee did whatever she wanted including Juan del Diablo. Renato wakes up and says what are you talking about Mother? You knew that she was fooling around with him? Rod and Leo look away. Guilty as charged. He shakes his finger at them and continues bellowing.

It looks like Lulu made some dinner for Remi. They are having a nice time together. She tries to talk to him but he says don’t worry about it. She just wants another chance to show him how much she loves him. They start to kiss but are startled when Juan shouts for Remi outside the hut. Juan barges in and sees the situation and says oh pardon me. Lulu gathers things and walks past Remi. Will they kiss or will they not? Looks like not. What’s up Juan? Aimee is dead.

Back at the Finca Renato is still yelling. He can’t believe they knew this all along but didn’t tell him. You were so afraid of a scandal. You destroyed what could have been the best thing in my life. Leo tries to comfort him but he tells her not to touch him. Rod said everything that happened was because of you. Renato wants him to tell him straight up what he’s talking about. Leo gets in between them.

Regina has managed to get past everyone and is now in Aimee’s room. She slowly walks to the bed. And I mean s - l - o - w - l - y. She looks at her briefly but turns away. I can’t blame her there. Aimee’s probably starting to look at little awful.

Back to Rod who is still slamming Renato. FF>> Leo says it is not Renato’s fault. You know perfectly what kind of woman Aimee was. Well, that certainly helped the situation. Leo and Rod argue and Leo turns to Renato and says it wasn’t your fault. Nothing was your fault. Renato wants his mom to tell him the truth. Just once. The whole truth. Rod and Leo argue some more. FF>> again.

Back to Regina. While I like a good death crying scene as much as the next person, I have a feeling this is going to get silly. She kneels next to the bed and starts in. Why? Why? Forgive me, forgive me, forgive me. So many times I tried to save you. I tried to tell you but you wouldn’t listen to me. Oh man, now she’s really crying. You have paid a high price for your whims. There are always consequences. Forgive me, forgive me, forgive me. Why God? Why, why, why? She kisses the white rose and places it on her chest? Did I just see Aimee breath? No. I guess not. While MdR’s death was as powerful as Frodo sailing off into the Gray Havens, Aimee’s death was not.

Leo is still babbling incoherently. Rod’s like, and then there was the baby. Leo laughs and says that was another one of her lies. Rod says what are you talking about. She says she suspected Aimee wasn’t pregnant when she wouldn’t let the doctor examine her. She invented the whole thing. Rod says you are lying. If you don’t believe me go talk to the doctor. Renato flops down on the couch. He looks totally broken. Maybe this will be his turnaround.

Episode 122

At the sheriff's, Leonarda is startled and worried to learn that the old sheriff and his guard are eager to testify against Rodrigo and her; but Rodrigo isn't concerned. When he pulls out his customary convincing bag of coins, though, the new sheriff threatens to lock him up for bribery unless he puts it back in his pocket.

At Raúl's, Mariela's grandparents walk in on the aftermath of Salma's unsubtle unburdening, where Mariela is once again reduced to a puddle of anxious tears. When she explains Griselda's awful plan, Alberto runs to Salma's bedroom to find her and her things gone; and they all know then Salma is not Mariela's daughter.

Renato flings open Aimee's bedchamber door to find her primping and wonders if she's forgotten she can't go out the rest of her life. Aimee breezily maintains he's just angry at her and that once back at the townhouse, he'll love her again; but Renato thinks she's a stupid child. What's done is done! Done!

Leonarda berates Rodrigo on the walk home for trying to bribe a famously honest official, and Rodrigo is just asking her if perhaps she'd rather they had to come openly before a judge, when they encounter Noel and Gabriel from the opposite direction. Alberto has urgently summoned them, and Noel is anxious at his tone.

When Rodrigo stops them to ask Noel's help, Noel tries to walk on; but Leonarda snips that apparently his wife doesn't concern him. Noel turns to Gabriel and marvels that this lady expects something of him and strides up to Rodrigo's face and insists that he continue worrying about Leonarda's affairs and acting as her lover.

Rodrigo objects and wants an end to the insults; but Noel wants it even more, shouting into his face, whereupon, Rodrigo demands satisfaction and smacks Noel with his gloves, but only hits Noel's upraised hand. To Leonarda's horror, they agree on pistols at dawn at point-blank range, with Gabriel as Noel's second.

As Noel and Gabriel depart, Rodrigo is not gratified to hear Leonarda fret that Noel is sure to kill him: Noel is a good shot, experienced with weapons and taught Renato everything he knows about them from a young age, she says. He's going to kill Rodrigo! Leonarda repeats plaintively, waiving her hand.

That evening, a storm brews; and in her room, Aimee sends Celia with a message for Juan at his cottage -- a message only for him. Celia is worried Renato will catch her, but Aimee is not concerned. She intends to keep him occupied with more of Kuma's potion in his cognac and checks to see if the coast is clear.

It is, and she makes her way to the office. Aimee is pouring more potion into the decanter when she's startled by Renato barging in through the door behind her. It's not his imagination; he saw Aimee fooling with the decanter and grabs her hand that was hiding the vial. Now he understands everything, Renato says.

She's trying to poison him! he says, laughing sardonically. That's all that's left between her and what she wants, he says. Unabashed, Aimee waves her fan and marvels that Renato's criticizing her now after he tried to shoot her! Don't bother getting indignant, because they are both exactly the same, she points out.

Renato doesn't like her comparing them; forgetting his magnificent Regina obsession, he waves an arm and shouts that he never betrayed Aimee! while she smiles sweetly. Everybody on the street will be talking behind his back, so for once, why doesn't she tell him the truth -- out of her own mouth! Renato shouts.

Tell him how she betrayed him, Renato insists. Aimee sarcastically repeats, oh, now he wants the truth! Well, he should prepare himself then! Aimee answers. Because it's the truth: she married him for his money, and she never loved him. The only man she ever loved -- or will ever love -- is Juan del Diablo!

Renato sobers and looks a little sick, swallowing his pride. Slack jawed, he lets her continue. Juan was always the only man for her, Aimee insists. And she would do anything to be in his arms again! she exclaims, tortured. To feel his lips again, running over her skin! she adds, caressing her own neck.

For those consuming caresses that were the fires of passion! My love, she says tauntingly, that is the truth. And now you know. You, she spits out pointedly, mean nothing to me! Laughing cruelly, she continues that this is the reason she wants to leave. She's never been more unhappy than while living with him!

Renato, having heard enough, approaches her menacingly, calling her a traitor; and backing her against the wall, he says she's going to pay right now. At that moment in her hut, Kuma the witch doctor, clears the fog on her cauldron and notes with dismay the events in the office where Aimee taunts Renato with Juan del Diablo.

Aimee tells him that nobody and nothing can erase those moments from her mind, because she loves him! She loves him and desires him! Renato squeezes Aimee's head, shakes her and yells Shut up! Shut up! Aimee manages to get in a shot to his groin and escape the office while Renato's momentarily debilitated.

Noel and Gabriel have made it to Raúl's, where they have learned about Salma's revelation. They repeat their previous suspicions to Raúl and the Villareals and posit their current ones about the real daughter, admitting they are still only suspicions. Noel doesn't want to reveal who it might be until they can confirm it.

At the finca, Aimee has run out into the storm, and Renato follows with his farmhands on horseback, astounding one of them by ordering the dogs let out on her. Back at Raúl's, Noel asks to see Mariela alone; and when he exits, Gabriel confides to Raúl and Alberto about the coming duel and his fear over Noel's safety.

Lightning flashing and thunder crashing all around, Aimee runs helter skelter through the jungle, tripping over roots, ripping her clothing, with the dogs and horses on her trail. Crying and terrified, Aimee desperately makes for Kuma's hut, where the witch doctor is feeling an end to things coming on, she says.

Mariela sits alone in her bedroom when Noel enters; he remains quietly behind her, standing like an oak for her to lean on, listening to her story. Salma lied to them for the money; for the filthy money, she says. Mariela protected her; she opened her heart. And it was all a lie; a great lie.

How could someone play with her feelings that way? Noel wants to point out that Mariela's own mother's heart told her that Salma wasn't her daughter and that she shouldn't lose hope that very soon she'll find the real one. But Mariela lost hope and faith when Salma admitted she lied, she says, weeping fresh tears.

She'll never find her daughter, Mariela insists; how evil people can be -- he'll never know the pain Salma's words caused her. Once again there's the anxiety and feeling of loss; they're destroying her. Sometimes she thinks life makes no sense and might not be worth living.

Out in the wilds, Aimee races into Kuma's hut, screaming for the witch doctor to save her. Renato wants to kill her! Please help her! But Kuma can tell the hunters are very close -- and with dogs! Where could she possibly hide her, she asks. They'll kill them both! Aimee has to leave right away, Kuma tells her.

Aimee frantically insists that Kuma has powers! But Kuma has discovered she can't do anything against Renato; that he has a strong talisman working for him, she says. He was good, noble; and look what you have turned him into now! Kuma can't save Aimee, she claims. But Aimee is desperate, running hysterically in circles.

The only thing Kuma can offer her is a horse; it's outside -- take it and get out, she tells Aimee. If she rides through the river she can disorient the dogs' scent; but make sure she takes the lower trail and not the upper trail. There's no exit to the upper trail. Aimee rushes out; the dogs are near.

In Mariela's bedroom, Noel is sorry to hear Mariela so down on life. Kneeling beside her with his hand on the back of her chair, he earnestly tells her he'd do anything to see her happy. She, too, is a tormented soul, he whispers huskily. They have their broken hearts in common.

And they're eternal optimists; please, he asks, never lose hope or faith. Taking her hand, Noel says if she lets him, he'll do anything to help her find happiness, which makes Mariela smile. She tells Noel that a man like him could make any woman happy.

And a woman like her, Noel says, would be the dream of any man. When we dream, we're just ready to awaken, he says. At this Mariela looks up at him suddenly, marveling. As a woman, you've a certain excitement, a curious stillness, he tells her.

Out on the trail, the storm rages as Aimee rides on into the dark. Renato and the dogs have arrived at Kuma's hut, and at first when he questions the witch doctor about Aimee, she pretends ignorance. But when he threatens to set the mastiffs on her place, she remains stone faced, revealing nothing.

Aimee recalls the words of the witch doctor and soon becomes despondent, realizing she's lost. But the dogs and Renato are catching up, and he spies her and yells to watch out for the water. She's come to the edge of a beach cliff, and Renato cries out in horror as he sees her heading for it.

Halted at the precipice, time nearly stops for Renato, as he can do nothing but watch his wife tumble over and over, down and down. Soon the farmhands arrive, and he blankly tells them she's fallen to the bottom. One man excitedly begins a rescue effort, but Renato insists on going down himself and calls for a rope.

In Mariela's room, Noel tells her he realizes it's not the best time, but he confesses she's awakened a great excitement in the depths of his soul, a profound feeling; he feels very good with her. Mariela begins to speak, but he just wants her to listen.

Noel says the only thing he asks is to not lose her; her company makes him very happy. As Mariela tells him she feels the same way, he kisses her hand and gazes into her eyes. She wouldn't want to lose him either, especially at the saddest time in her life, Mariela says.

Out in the parlor, Raúl and the Villareals wonder at such ambitious evil and decide heaven will deal with Salma. Raúl asks Gabriel to help him find Jimena to beg her to come and help his daughter. Gabriel finds Jimena standing on the quay, feeling an uneasy premonition. She's afraid something awful has happened.

At the bottom of the beach cliff, a dry-eyed Renato finds and cradles Aimee's broken body and tells the men he will take his wife home. With her body tucked into the curve of his left arm, Renato slowly walks his white horse -- a blue shadow in the moonlight -- through the scrub toward the finca, one deliberate hoof beat at a time.

When Renato carries the body up to the staircase landing, his mother meets him and faints when Renato almost inaudibly says "she's dead" and continues up the stairs. The farmhands tend to Leonarda as Renato reaches the twins' old room and lays Aimee's body out on a bed, gently touching her face, her blood staining most of his left sleeve.

He leans on the foot board, staring at her, remembering the horrible words she spoke to him in the argument just before the chase; how she never loved him and always loved Juan. Loosing the scarf around his neck, he wipes his face and throws the scarf to the floor, spitting out "Juan del Diablo" in disgust.

Later in the office, Renato slides open the desk drawer, pulls out a revolver, and gives the chamber a clattering spin, while staring down the barrel.

Review: Juan and Regina are happy, kissing, telling each other how much they love each other. Juan is afraid of losing her, and she says don't say that, I am yours always.

Eloisa has prepared a large meal for Fully of his favorite food. Federico is there and Fully doesn't want to eat alone, he wants Eloisa to have some, too. She says she is on a diet, she wants to fit into a new dress. He tries to get her to just take a bite, but she says she can't break her diet. He then tries to get Feddy to eat some, but he says, no I just ate, sorry, not hungry. Eloisa says she made it with her love and Fully should eat. He says he is sorry but he won't eat alone, he is too uncomfortable. Throughout this conversation Fully has a bite on his fork and is teasing them, like he's just going to take a bite.

Mariela is telling Salma she doesn't understand her attitude about going to church. Salma says she is a gypsy, it's not her religion. Mari says I want you to adopt my religion, you are my daughter, so we will go to church tomorrow. Both say strained good nights. We see Salma getting out her gypsy clothes.

Fulgencio and Feddy are alone and Fully wants to toast his bestest, most loyal friend. He tells Fed he is going to put him in charge of all of his business dealings. He is tired of the business and he knows Federico is incapable of betraying him.

We see Salma dressed like a gypsy, she takes some gold or jewelry and sneaks out.

Fully is telling Fed he is like the son he never had. He apologizes for treating him the way he did at the poker game, he says he did it to test his loyalty. Fed says it's okay Dude. Fully then gives him a big hug. I am expecting a knife to come out at any minute.

Rodrigo stumbles into his house looking very distraught. The maids were both worried about him. They ask him where he was, what happened. He says don't ask. They try to tell him about Aimee, but he won't listen. He says he is going to take a bath and relax and nobody but nobody is to disturb him. They look at each other like what's wrong with him?

We go to the gypsies outside of town, Branco is dancing and suddenly Salma appears. He looks at her intensely and asks her what she is doing there. She says she missed him, she couldn't forget about him and she loves him. Branco says he was very clear with her. She betrayed her gypsy heritage and she has been abusing that poor family. We go to Mariela and Abuelo talking, didn't get most of this. Back to Branco and Salma reveals that Jimena is the real daughter of Mariela. Branco is like, of course! No wonder she was so obsessed with Gabriel! Salma tells Branco that she is a pure gypsy and he tells her again that she betrayed her gypsy blood. She says she will prove that she loves him. Mariela has discovered that Salma/Angela is gone.

Jimena is in the square and sees someone selling candy apples. She has flashbacks and vague memories. A nearby mother is happy to find her daughter, she thought she had gotten lost. More jogging of Jimena's memory. Gabriel walks up and wants to know what is wrong. Jimena tells him about the confusing memories and the feeling of anguish connected with the caramel apples. She wonders if she could have been stolen from someone by Griselda. Gabe agrees.

The fishermen and workers are outside the huts bringing Juan gifts. They want to thank him for giving them the land, for being so generous.

Noel has come to the finca without asking because he needs to have Renato sign the papers for the finca to go to Clemencia. He is talking to Ren and Leo. Leo won't budge, she won't leave the finca and she is shocked and incensed that Juan is giving it to Clem. Noel says they can take their time but Ren is the one who needs to sign the papers. He agrees that he gave his word and he has to. Noel tries to tell them they can find another place, they have time. But Leo is not leaving, and she wants Renato to act like the son she raised and not sign the papers. She will be too humiliated if she leaves. Ren says it is a humiliation to stay as well.

Back to the workers giving Juan gifts. He tells them the land was theirs as soon as they started to work it. All are very happy. Remigio pulls Santos aside and wants to ask him for advice on a personal matter. He tells him he saw Lulu and Santos asks him how he felt. He says his heart was pounding, he loves her. Santos says he has another opportunity, he should take it. Pedro chimes in that Santos is right and happiness is hard to find.

Felipe and Lulu are having a similar conversation about the Remigio/Lulu encounter. Lulu is excited that Remi may forgive her. Felipe says she deserves more than that, but Lulu thinks love is too much to ask. Felipe says no, you deserve his love.

A conversation at the beach I didn't understand, something about the work Juan wants to do, or something he wants to export. These other fishermen/workers show up and want a chance to work at the cooperative, too. Our guys are hesitant, I think the other ones didn't stick around when Juan was in trouble and they don't want to accept them. Juan says they should have the chance to work, too, and makes them shake hands. Santos says they are welcome. Now all are friends again.

Regina is talking to Noel, says she has to tell him about something. She is scared, Aimee told her Renato has a plan to separate her and Juan. Noel thinks Aimee is just lying to upset her but Regina insists she knows her sister. She says if Renato interferes with her happiness he will know a different Regina. Noel says he has always admired her strength. He then says he needs to ask her something as well, about his grandchild, like he knows something is wrong. Regi starts to tell him when who should run up but Renato. He's all sweating and grabs Regina in a hug which she doesn't return. Colibri just happens to see them at that moment, of course. He runs off before she tells Renato not to hug her. (Ack, I don't like them using Colibri this way!)

Felipe and Lulu are with the new Aguacil/former captain. They are telling him they suspect Rodrigo for the death of Brigitte, they want him to investigate, they want justice. He listens to them and says that he will. Juan then comes in and interrupts wanting to see the old aguacil. He is let into the area where the old aguacil is and the other prisoners bring him to the door. Juan says believe it or not I'm not happy to see you here. He says if you're waiting for Rodrigo to help you he isn't going to, he is a coward. He talks about his father and how his father was treated and how justice works in strange ways. The OA asks for his help. Juan basically says see ya later and leaves as the OA is yelling for his help.

Jimena and Gabriel are in the square and someone is selling flowers. Gabe gets some for her and I think says they replace the ones he was going to give her the day he saw her kissing Branco. He tells her what happened that day. Jimena tells him she will love him for the rest of her life, they kiss and Servando is watching in the background holding a flower.

Mariela is pacing and praying. Salma comes back and Mari asks her where she has been. She tries to hug her but Salma won't let her, she says don't touch me! Mari is shocked and very upset and says what is going on, why are you dressed in your gypsy clothes? Salma says I'm not your daughter! I'm not Angela! It was all a lie cooked up between Griselda and me to get money!. Mariela is even more distraught, but Salma walks out and doesn't tell her who her real daughter is.

Rod and Leo are with the new Aguacil thinking they can bribe him like old one. But he tells them there have been several denunciations against them, that Doc Miranda accuses them of killing his uncle, Juan de Dios has his accusations and two employees of the casino accuse them of killing Brigitte. Rod says we are an old, respected family, you can't believe them instead of us. Doc Miranda had designs on Regina and he's trying to get revenge. Aguacil says I don't doubt your word but I also don't doubt those who are accusing you. I am going to investigate and I suggest you get a good lawyer.

Colibri runs up and tells Juan that he saw Regina and Renato hugging. Just after that Regi walks up and is surprised when Juan is cold to her. He wants to know where she was and she says she went to see her padrino on a private matter. Juan says Noel or Renato? He says I am your husband, I should know where you are. He is suspicious and jealous, and Regi doesn't help anything by not revealing what she went to talk to Noel about, infuriatingly she says again it is private.

We go to Aimee remembering what the bruja said about the Montes de Oca child who will be born, that she realizes it is Juan and Regina's child. She vows again that it will never be born and that if she can't be happy at Juan's side neither can Regina. Dun dun dun, end.

Finally a new and sunny day. Juan is at the beach talking to his mom. Juan tells his mom that he knows she is in heaven with JDD Sr. loving each other and that both are watching over him. Reggie joints her hubby and tells him about the legacy of love that MDR left them. MDR thought them the love is bigger than anything. Juan professes his love to Reggie and promises Reggie that he'll love her beyond his death. Reggie promises him that come what may they'll always be together. Yeah, we all know what that means. They seal that promises with a kiss.

Fully is questioning the service where the heck is his loving wifey. The servant tells him that Elo is at the dressmaker. That Elo must have a closet bigger than the house. She goes to the dressmaker everyday. I hope she has the dresses to backup her story if ever questioned by fully. We see Elo entering the premises of the dress maker and Serv hot on her heels.

Dr. Pablo is checking Ren. Ren is telling him this is the second time he feels sick. Dr. Pablo tells Ren he doesn't anything wrong with him physically. His brain is another matter entirely. Pablo, says to Ren maybe is something you ate or drank. Ren realizes it is in the alcohol and asks Pablo if it is poison. Pablo says he can't assure that, but asks him to be careful. Pablo tells him about MDR's dead. Ren is very surprised and said MDR died ages ago. Pablo signals with his head, nope, nope.

Juan tells Reggie that MRD was upset because he called himself Juan del Diablo and she baptized him again. Reggie finds it amusing and reminds him how when they where at that island she also baptized him Juan De Dios. Juan wants a life change and be happy with Reggie because he loves more than anything in this world and he wants her to be proud of him. Reggie tells him she is already. Juan tells he is sure his parents are watching and protecting them and their love.

The dressmaker is telling Elo that she is afraid what Fully would do if he finds out what is going on here. The dressmaker is afraid Fully would kill them all. Fed enters the room. The dressmaker leaves. Elo and Fed start going at it. Serv enters the house, it seems there's something going on between him and the dressmaker because he touches her chin very gently. Serv kneels and looks through the keyhole how Elo and fed are making a dress and thinks to himself that Fully has to know this the sooner the better. Can you imagine how useful a cell phone would be for Serv right at this moment?

Noel is talking to Juan about the finca and that Reni would pay his debt as the gentleman that he is. Noel said he'll do all the paperwork. Juan tells Noel that neither him nor Reggie care about the finca. Both Juan and Reggie think is best to give the finca to the workers and the fish folks. Noel agrees with him and tells him he very proud. Juan tells Noel they've decided give Clem the big house, but Juan cautions Noel not to tell Clem yet. Juan sends a message to the Montes de Oca to take their time leaving the finca. Noel is not happy delivering the message because he doesn't want ot go back to la finca. Noel tells Juan about his visit to la finca and that the told Leo about leaving. Noel makes the observation to Juan that he sees a glimpse of sadness on his eyes. Juan gives him the news about MDR and also tells Noel that he is at peace now because his parents are finally together. Juan reassures Noel that he is not sad. He is at peace.

Renie is with mommy dearest. Ren demands of her an explanation about MDR. Rod is eavesdropping and he hears when Ren says that Pablo told him that MDR just died.
