Caray, Caray!

All the pieces are starting to (excruciatingly slowly) come together. The beginning of Marco’s downfall has begun!

Rosaura lets the cat out of the bag about Ale getting married at the end of the month. Ale raises her hackles and tells Rosaura off for spilling secrets about her personal life. Rosaura blames Claudia for spreading the gossip. Like a schoolgirl in trouble, Claudia stays after the meeting to speak to Ale in private. (While Rafa blends into the background to listen in.)

Ale is tired of Claudia’s childishness. “Why don’t you spend more time gaining clients than gossip? Who told you about my wedding?” Claudia is surprisingly worked up and vows she can’t say. After the chismosa (gossip) leaves the room, Ale turns on Rafa. He swears he had nothing to do with it; he has no business knowing about her wedding. Ale flounces out even more discouraged.

Claudia is spitting mad that Rosaura called her out in front of Ale. Rosaura is far too preoccupied with the cookies Gabriel sent her to be worried but Claudia won’t be ignored. “That witch is furious at me now! She even told me to pull down my skirt. Of course, since she’s the lead executive, the most intelligent and elegant at Autos Siglo. But she doesn’t know what a wandering eye her novio has!” Rosaura’s ears perk up. “How well do you know Marco? Is he unfaithful often?” Claudia refuses to say, despite Rosaura pleading for an answer. Pepeto, having eavesdropped on the entire conversation, pockets Claudia’s unattended cell phone.

Ale once again blames Rafa and his fan club for telling the whole office about her wedding. Susana pulls Nelson aside to grill him about it. “Either you, Pepeto, or Rafa told Claudia about Ale’s wedding. You guys are always talking and I know it isn’t about business.” Nelson promises none of them did it, which upsets Susana.

Rafa calls Nelson and Pepeto into the meeting room for another huddle. Pepeto thinks he has Marco in the palm of his hand because of Claudia’s cell phone. The guys go through her phone and find Marco’s number inside. Pepeto tells them about Claudia implying Marco’s infidelity in her discussion with Rosaura. Nelson thinks this new information explains a lot; they have an enemy inside Autos Siglo.

Marino has a hissy fit in front of Ramirez about being treated badly by the company. “I cannot work like this! Either Medina goes or I do!” Ramirez warns him that Beltran will never choose Marino over Rafa after all the money he’s made. Marino catches Claudia eavesdropping. She shrewdly offers to help him get rid of Rafa if he gives her three of his commissions without anyone else knowing. Marino readily agrees. (An unholy alliance is made. I sense a war between Marino/Claudia/Ramirez and Rafa/Pepeto/Nelson in the future.)

Pepeto is sure they have enough proof of Marco’s affair with Claudia. After all, Claudia has several incoming calls from Marco. Rafa is thrilled to have the information but wants to hold off before busting Marco. He has Pepeto return the phone since the last thing they need is to be known as thieves.

Meanwhile, Claudia frantically searches her desk for her phone. She whines and cries to Jimenez, who has a nervous breakdown about being accused of stealing. Rosaura calls the phone and she and Claudia follow the sound. Pepeto quickly stashes the phone in Claudia’s trashcan and pretends to find it.

Rafa and Nelson ruminate about Marco. Rafa doesn’t understand why Marco would stay with Ale when he obviously doesn't love her. Nelson remembers a conversation Rosaura had with the General about Marco’s involvement with Ale’s hacienda.

The General and Claudia have a shouting match when Claudia accuses the General of stealing her phone. Susana breaks it up to tell Rosaura that Rafa wants to speak with her. Rosaura babbles about “her situation” being the excuse for her lackluster sales. Rafa cuts her off and brings the conversation around to the Alvarez de Castillo family. Rosaura happily spills her guts. “Don Jorge is very rich and owns a gorgeous hacienda where they produce livestock and milk. But he got into a bad business deal and the hacienda was embargoed. The only reason he still has it is to pay off debts. Marco is the family lawyer and takes care of the hacienda.”

Rafa’s wheels start turning. “When was the embargo lifted?” Rosaura has no clue since it was Marco who handled it. However she says Marco is a pathetic lawyer. She’s heard Marco has a nice office somewhere but she never found out where. Rafa thanks Rosaura for her time and she scampers away when Pepeto enters.

Marino tells Claudia he has a meeting with a client who plans to buy 4 trucks. Claudia agrees to keep her end of the bargain once he seals the deal.

Marco tells the workers at the hacienda that Chavez won’t be returning. They’re overjoyed but less enthusiastic to hear Marco is taking over. Meanwhile, we see a homesick Chavez in a Bugs Bunny version of Iraq. Still no sign of Rubi…

Rosario gives Ale a quick call about the wedding invitations; they still need to send one to Urdiales. Ale remembers hearing the name of Urdiales’ company when he happened to be at the same restaurant as Ale and Marco. She gives the address of Aseguradora Latina to Rosario.

Rafa relates all the new information to Pepeto. “Marco is marrying Ale for money and not because he loves her. Alejandra and her family don’t have money but their hacienda does.” Pepeto wonders if Carmela might have something to do with the embargo on the hacienda. Rafa tells Pepeto to go to the court to find out just what Marco and Carmela have been up to with the hacienda.

Groundskeeper Chucho walks with Marco around the hacienda. Chucho is glad Marco has taken over because he’s sure Chavez was abusing the hacienda. He had wild parties and didn’t handle any of the necessary business for the livestock; Chucho almost called Don Jorge about it. Marco is shocked and promises to take care of the problem himself.

Chucho says the hacienda can only produce profits in the thousands for the upcoming month. Marco needs millions of pesos a month and threatens to kill Chucho if he says anything to the Alvarez de Castillos about the hacienda.

Rafa calls Zetina, who has been spying on Marco and Chucho. Rafa tells Zetina to follow Marco wherever he goes after leaving the hacienda.

Marino hands over his commission to Claudia, who seems to be having second thoughts. Marino warns her not to back out. Nelson channels Zetina as he spies on them from behind a display. Claudia assures him she has information that will help get Rafa out of their hair. They piece together that Ale must have been involved in Rafa’s last business deal. (I think they were talking about Ale being Rafa’s silent partner.) Claudia is behind throwing Ale under the bus but doesn’t want Rafa to suffer. Marino wants Rafa fired and, if possible, thrown in jail.

Avances: Ale overhears Rafa give seduction tips to Pepeto and Marino goes to Beltran in hopes of getting Rafa fired.

Ep. 104

WARNING: This episode will be a multiple hanky episode. Please get your hankies now so you won’t miss anything.


The Boyz are still looking for Remi. He’s floating on some driftwood. They try to rouse him but too late, the shark gets him and drags him under the water. There is blood everywhere. The Boyz are beside themselves. Oh the horror!

Regina is eavesdropping while Aimee piles on the BS. He’s a dumbass if he believes anything she tells him. Aimee grabs Juan and gives him a good kiss. It’s amazing that a man his size can’t manage to push away a woman Aimee’s size. I don’t get it. Poor Regina. She is devastated. He finally manages to push Aimee away but it’s too late, the damage is done.

Back in the water Remi is awake and flailing around. The boyz paddle as fast as they can to reach him. He’s only swimming with one arm. That doesn’t look good. Surely a boat full of 2-armed men can paddle faster than a one-armed man full of rum can swim. We’ll see.

Juan grabs Aimee by the throat as she tells him she loves him. He is hers. She reminds him that his life is in her hands. He’s like, whatever. Get lost and don’t come back.

They reach Remi. They manage to pull him into the boat. Pedro takes off his belt so Pablo can use it as a tourniquet. He puts it around his arm. The boyz paddle frantically to get him to shore as the doc puts pressure on the arm to stop the bleeding. (Not very successfully by the looks of it.)

Regina runs back to Noel and Renato. Noel doesn’t understand why she didn’t go in. Renato is all set to go see what happened but Regina stops him. I think she should have told them what was going on and they all should go see for themselves what a hateful, selfish, lying, narcissistic cow Aimee really and truly is. She spins a story about how Juan was busy with someone. It was an attorney. Yeah, that’s the ticket. Noel wants to wait to see if the guy leaves so they can visit Juan. Regina assures him that it is best if they come back at some other time. Renato opens his big mouth and frankly I don’t care what he has to say. It’s all his fault that Juan is in this predicament in the first place. Regina says there is nothing more that can be done tonight. Renato wants her to come back to the finca. Why, so you can spy on her through a hole you are going to drill in the wall? She’s not going to the finca and wants to bunk at Noel’s office. He’s ok with that but of course Renato is not. Regina says she doesn’t want anyone to know they were there. Let’s go. Noel is reluctant. She finally convinces them all to leave.

Aimee is still in there going on about Regina. She looks smug. Juan looks confused. But then again, that’s pretty normal for him. She asks for the guard so she can leave. Thank God. I’m hoping Juan has finally learned his lesson about trusting Aimee. She blows him a kiss as she leaves. He whispers Regina, Regina.

Back at Noel’s office Renato is sounding like a broken record. It is better to come to the finca. It is more comfortable. Dude, seriously shut.up. You have become a pain in everyone’s ass. If he keeps it up I’m going to start typing “Renato’s lines” because I’ve just about had enough of it. Fortunately for Regina, she’s zoned out thinking about Juan and not listening to a word he said. Renatos lines. Regina says she told him she’s not going to the finca so get over it already. That is my last word. Understand Renato I need to be alone. What part of “I need to be alone” don’t you understand? Renato think she’s being mean to him. She says (and I love this) life is cruel, not me. He sulks and say as you wish. Noel comes in and tells her that her bed is ready. She bids Renato good night. Rest well. He pouts. Maybe he’ll stomp his little foot next to see if that works better.

Aimee has made it back to the finca. It’s amazing how fast that girl can change clothes. Celia is telling her how she saw Renato’s carriage close to the jail. Aimee says it couldn’t have been Renato. Aimee thinks it could have been Noel. Celia says no, Regina and Renato are in the port. Aimee is like well if they are here in town why aren’t they at the finc? She wants Celia to go find out what’s going on. Celia hides her braids from Aimee. If she pulled my hair like that I’d snatch that ugly wig off her pointy little head.

Noel isn’t keen on Regina staying there by herself. Really, she WANTS TO BE ALONE. Why can’t you guys get that through your heads. She says she just needs time to herself. Noel who knows something is going on asks her a very good question--Who really was with Juan? I already told you, it was an attorney. He turns her around so he can look into her eyes. He tells her she is transparent and she can’t lie. He asks her if she loves Juan. She pulls away and says no. No, I don’t love him. Liar!

Aimee is trying to figure out what’s up with Renato. She thinks that if he was in port he would not be able to resist coming to her.

Noel thinks Regina does love Juan. He wants to know why she doesn’t confide in him. Trust me. Tell me what really happened. She says that it was a beautiful dream. That was all. A beautiful dream but I woke up and faced reality. I thought Juan had changed but no. He’s always the same. Noel tells her not to cry. She is the only one that can get him out of this mess. Noel says her soul is in torment. She tells him not to worry for her. She is used to dealing with pain. She knows Noel lives without love also (that’s an understatement) and he shouldn’t worry about her. All I need is a little time by myself to think. Please. He says ok. She thanks him and he does a little bow as he exits. All in all, a very touching scene. Finally, she is alone.

Aimee is dousing herself with perfume. I swear she has a little cloud that follows her just like Pigpen in the Snoopy comics. Can’t you just picture it?! Poor Renato is going to need a gas mask. As she gives herself one more squirt for good luck, in walks Renato. She scampers over to him and gives him a fake hug and tells him she is so glad to see him. She tells him she was so worried about him and the whole Juan thing. He says he didn’t know she was so interested in his life. She says of course, you are my husband. She is so hurt that he thinks she is not interested in his money--uh life. Now she blames everything on Regina, because frankly who doesn’t? You are my husband and I love you. She needs to know that he loves her always. He looks annoyed at her pawing. She starts to seduce him. He falls for it. Oh look--he’s a dumbass too.

Meanwhile Regina is thinking about Juan as we get a picture of Juan thinking about Regina. Regina thinks that Juan continues to be in love with Aimee. Juan in his lonely cell thinks that Regina never loved him.

Renato takes a time out to ask if she really loves him. Of course she does--not. She reminds him about the hijo she’s carrying. I’m about to say Aimee’s lines because it is the SSDD (same sh!t, different day.) She’d rather die than lose him (or his money.) He tells her he forgives her. She is elated that he loves her and forgives her. I think he’s not too sure really but he couldn’t get some from Regina so he figures he might as well get it from Aimee. Kiss me like you did on our wedding night. Steamy love scene. Not much talking going on. FF>>

Clemencia is crying over MdR who is unconscious. She can’t believe it is MdR after all these years. MdR comes to and recognizes Clemencia immediately. They are overjoyed to see each other. MdR asks about her son and Clemencia assures her that her son is not dead. MdR is happy to hear this. She can’t believe it. Jimena told me he was alive. Colibri informs her that he is his capitan. His name is Juan. Juan del Diablo. MdR doesn’t look too happy about that.

Back at the jail Juan is looking pretty rough and half crazy. The guard shouts at him that he has a visitor. It’s Noel. Juan turns away and looks ashamed. Noel says he hates to see Juan in this place. Juan starts babbling about something I didn’t catch.

Aimee and Renato are finished having their make-up sex. Renato looks like he’s thinking “what have I done.” He gets out of bed and starts to get dressed. Aimee’s not happy about it. Renato says he’s confused. Aimee wants them to live like they did. Renato is fed up with her asking questions.

Back at the jail, Noel says something about Renato and Juan tells him that it is all Reanto’s fault that he is in this predicament. I didn’t understand part of this so fill in if you’d like. Noel tells Juan that Regina is going to be at the trial. Juan pauses and smiles at this.

Cut back to Aimee and Renato (yawn) Aimee asks how Regina is. Renato says she’s fine and she’s staying at his father’s office. Aimee makes fun of her. Renato says she constantly reminded him that she was the wife of Juan del Diablo. Aimee finds that funny. She says maybe she wants to live the life of something I couldn’t catch. He gets up and grabs her by the throat. He doesn’t like her talking about Regina like that. She’s afraid of him because he’s acting crazy. Swear to me that Regina confessed nothing. Why do you ask me that? Swear to it! I swear to it. I swear to it for our child.

The boyz finally get Remi to shore.

Juan is worried that Regina is at Finca del Mar with Renato. Noel tells him no. You are mistaken. Regina is staying in my office. He looks surprised. Noel asks him about his future and Juan says he has no future. Juan says something about Renato and Noel says he doesn’t defend Renato. He’s my son but he made an error in trying to rescue Regina. He says something else about Renato and then Juan says it is the same for Aimee. Noel tells him enough already with the attitude. Because he’s not going to listen to it any more. Juan grabs him and says this is the last time you will have to listen to me. He’s pretty much going to tell the judge everything. The truth. He repeats it with a maniacal giggle.

MdR is assuring Clemencia that her son is not Juan del Diablo. He is Juan de Dios. Clemencia says of course he is. Juan de Dios San Roman Montes de Oca. Well, that certainly is a mouthful. MdR is happy about it. She says he has suffered much. Leo told me that my son was dead. Of course she did, she’s a lying heifer. Then she put me with Arcadio. It was awful. I was going crazy. I suffered so much. Jacinta takes me to church on many occasions. She’s afraid, She wants to see her son and asks Clemencia to help her. By now the whole room is crying. Clemencia assures her that everyone will help her. They all help her out of the bed. Jimena is going to write a note to the doctor so he’ll know where she went. Clemencia doesn’t want her to write a note they have Colibri wait behind for the doctor so he can tell them where they went.

Renato is back to threatening Aimee but realizes it is really not worth the trouble. He finishes getting dressed and says he’s got a lot to do and leaves. She begs him to come back when he is finished. He leaves. She goes back to blaming Regina for everything. She hates her, she hates her.

Noel has one question he has to ask Juan. Who was the abogado that was in here earlier? Abogado? I don’t have an attorney. But Regina---Regina? Noel tells him to look him in the eye and listen well, some day you will something I couldn’t hear. You won’t understand now but some day you will. Some day. It’s a dream. I don’t understand. It’s only a dream. He looks sad. What are you saying? Just leave. Leave please. You need to leave. I have to be alone. Please, son, I don’t understand. Noel says ok, I’m out of here. Juan looks at the floor. Noel says good night and turns to leave. He hears a pitiful “Don Noel” behind him. He turns as Juan rushes to him and puts his arms around him in a bear hug and cries like a baby. All the pain and suffering he has endured his whole life comes out in that one moment. He sobs as Noel comforts him.

Regina is still talking to the moon. She remembers the conversation she overheard between Aimee and Juan. She cries for Juan, for his kisses.

Juan pulls himself together and asks Noel to leave. He kisses Noel’s hand and Noel looks a little uncomfortable. Juan promises to live a different life. One full of love. Juan shuffles away as Noel leaves. Juan also talks to the moon. She told me she loved me. I see you love me in your shining eyes. I feel your love when we kiss. You will not abandon me. You wouldn’t betray me. But he still can’t understand why she would write Renato a letter.

Regina thinks that Juan was never hers. He always belonged to Aimee. You were always hers. Your kisses, your passion. You only live for her. She prays to El Senor to help her as we see memories in the background of her and Juan on the ship. She remembers his kisses like fire on her lips. Juan--my pirate, my savage. Juan the traitor. It was only a dream. All for a dream.

At these words, Juan wakes in his cell as we see a rat in the foreground. (That kind of ruined the moment for me.) Only for a dream, only a dream. We get a split screen as the two almost lovers cry for each other.

I want to know what happened to Remi.

Some of you may conclude that I have my beanie fastened too tightly and it is cutting off the oxygen to my brain, but I confess that I still adore this hopelessly romantic novela. And yet… and yet… tonight, my friends, we have a dud. If you taped it but haven’t watched it, you might not want to bother. You decide after reading the summary:


We are at the dance club where Nati is out of her mind on cocaine. The scene keeps cutting back to Enrique telling his story on the psychiatrist’s couch. Besides Fernando and Andrea, Pablo and Diana are also there.

When Diana hears how Malicia told Pablo about Zein and Cristina’s kiss, Diana’s reaction is surprisingly astute. She questions Malicia’s motives and concludes that she is either una tonta o una vibora (a fool or a viper).

Alej comes to Natalia’s rescue. With some difficulty, he persuades her to come home with him. She imagines that someone is following them. (Alguién nos está siguiendo.)

At the Casa Ferrer, Marisa arrives at the appointed hour for her conversation with Leo. He tells her he saw her and Said together. Her response is a shrug:
¿Qué tiene de malo?
What’s wrong with that?/What’s the big deal?
She rejects his suggestion that mixing business with personal affairs is a mistake. If Lucas can chase after Jade, she can be with Said. And I’m with Said for the same reason you go out with your women:
Compañía, amor, cariño, diversion… y que Lucas se vea mal delante de todo el mundo – excelente!
Companionship, love, affection, fun... and if Lucas looks bad in front of everyone – excellent!

At Mohamed’s place, Samira asks Latifa if marriage with a westerner would be more acceptable if a person lived all her life in the United States. Hell no, says Latifa (only she says it more sweetly.) The Naz arrives. While the sisters-in-law bicker about Jade’s intended one-day marriage (a waste of a good man), Samira slips away.

Malicia takes Cristina aside at Salamandra:
No sé como decirte esto… Pablo no era el hombre para ti. Mereces un hombre más poderoso, un multimillonario...
I don’t know how to say this...Pablo wasn’t the man for you. You deserve a more powerful man, a multimillionaire…
Then when Pablo comes in looking for Cristina, the ever-helpful Malicia says:
No sé como decirte esto…Cristina salió con Zein. (Cris left with Zein)
I’m a loyal person, says Pablo, and people walk all over me. And I, says the tragic Malicia, am such a good person that people think I’m naïve, a fool. And my boyfriend isn’t happy about my pregnancy…

That boyfriend is at the moment bursting into Clara’s house demanding to see Fernando. Fer is out dancing and drugging. They bicker. Blablablá. Clara’s date, young Felipe arrives and puts his arm around her shoulders. When Escobar leaves, Clara moves Felipe’s arm away.

Alej has brought Nati back to Gloria’s place and Gloria’s not happy about it. Nati is obviously drugged up and Gloria predicts they are the ones who will be blamed for her behavior. Alej says Nati was at a party and someone slipped something into her lemonade. He begs Gloria to let her stay. She relents saying:
Sólo por esta noche. Mañana vamos a tener una conversación muy seria.
Just for tonight. Tomorrow we’re going to have a very serious conversation.

Ramon tries to poke his nose into things, but Gloria cuts him off and tells him to mind his own business and finish closing the restaurant.

When Albieri gets home, he finds Luisa waiting for him. Don’t lie to me, she says, tell me why Lucas was in this house. Albieri evades the question and says instead:
Yo necesito darle un tiempo a nuestra relación.
I need to give our relationship some time (away)...
Luisa assumes he is asking for a divorce and demands to know who the other woman is. Albieri keeps babbling about needing time alone to take care of some problems, but whatever he says, Luisa insists he must be having an affair In frustration, Albieri says:
Debo estar hablando chino.
I must be speaking Chinese!
Not only that, she also knows that he has been keeping Daniel from her, that he has said she wouldn’t be able to accept him. And Albieri does what he always does. He runs away.

Andrea comes home to find her parents in full interrogation mode. She tells them she was at a disco with her friends and no, she wasn’t smoking. She never lied to us before, says Lucia. Why would you think she’d start now? I guess I’m afraid, says Roberto. I never thought she’d be in danger. This is the kind of thing that happens to other people.

Cut to Enrique on the couch: At first, your family doesn’t notice…

Nati, meanwhile, has snuck into the restaurant and grabbed a bottle (of wine?). Alej catches her chugging it, takes it away and guides her back to bed.

Albieri asks Padre Andres for sanctuary, at least for the night. Andres challenges Albieri. You didn’t destroy your clone, did you? that’s why you’re so nervous. Why don’t you want Daniel to call his mother? Why are you keeping your travel plans a secret from Luisa and Daniel’s mother? Is he really just your godson?

Vicki catches up with Pablo at the gym and tells him there’s nothing between Zein and Cris. The kiss was… just a kiss. What she wants to know is, what’s going on between Pablo and Malicia. She’s an innocent kid, leave her out of this, says Pablo. (Thus demonstrating that he is at least as dumb as Escobar, maybe even dumber since this is an affair with Cristina he’s jeopardizing, for pete’s sake!)

Morning comes. (Gracias a dios. I thought that horrible night would never end). Alej tells Gloria he has an important appointment. He leaves Nati asleep in his room. When Alej has gone, Gloria says to the sleeping Nati:
No voy a dejar que tú dañes el futuro de mi hijo, no te voy a permitir.
I’m not going to let you harm my son’s future, I won’t permit it.

When Carlos asks Samira to go to the beach after school, she says she can’t, she has to take care of her sick mother. It seems like you can never go, he says.

And at home, Amin casually remarks to his parents that Samira is never home. Must be because she’s exhibiting herself in the street like those women in Cairo.

Ali shows up at the house. I haven’t heard from you or Jade lately, he says to Latifa. I think, blurts out Latifa, (much to Mohamed’s displeasure) that Said is preventing Jade from contacting her family. Ali sets off to Said’s house to find out what is going on.

Said’s servant is at that moment telling him that Jade hasn’t eaten anything. Zoraida frets that she will perish from hunger. Well if she does, grumps Said, it’s her own fault. There’s plenty of food in this house.

Enter Ali. I didn’t call him, Zoraida whispers fearfully to Said. Where’s Jade? Ali wants to know. I’m correcting Jade. (Estoy corrigiendo a Jade). He tells Ali what Jade has done to earn her punishment. Ali replies that if a man has to keep his wife locked up in order to hold on to her, then it’s not a marriage. He orders Said to unlock Jade’s room.
¡Que lo abras! Lo estoy ordenando!

Credits roll.

Episode 103

With only a penetrating pair of eyes revealed by a shawl in the dark cell, Juan happily embraces the woman he thinks to be Regina. But when she springs back and the shawl falls away, it's the red-haired Aimee instead. "Of course - who else? Regina? she spits out derisively. Who else but Aimee would come, against all obstacles! You don't know how difficult it was to get this far.

The grimy, sweaty prisoner, Juan stares at her, stone faced, as she lowers her voice and tone. Who else but me, Juan? she whispers. Your Aimee, she emphasizes, reaching to touch Juan; but he jerks away. The one who loves you with all her heart, she continues; I love you, Juan! she vows. And Juan looks downcast.

On the bluffs where Griselda met her death, Fulgencio now retains his knife point at Servando's throat. The gypsy swearing on his mother that he knows nothing fails to impress Fulgencio, who insists that Servando would sell his own soul to the devil.

When Servando points out he can't investigate the identity of a possible assassin if he's dead, Fulgencio relents -- but expects results. If Servando discovers the secret enemy, he will be well paid, Fulgencio promises.

With Brigitte gone, they are short-staffed at the casino; and when Lulu pines to go directly to Remigio and reveal the truth to him now that he has returned, Phillip insists they need her there. Fifi points out she can go first thing in the morning, and Lulu intends to.

At Dr. Pablo's, he reveals to Remigio a promise made to Juan to take Remigio to see Lulu, if Juan could not do it himself. Remigio can hardly believe he'll finally be able to see her; and in her rooms at the casino, preparing herself for work, Lulu luxuriates in a bubbly bath, thinking of him.

Alone in his office, Noel mulls over Salma's situation: if she is not Mariela's daughter, then she at least knows who the real one is, he concludes. This girl must tell us the truth, he is thinking, when with a start he realizes he is due at the casino and prepares to leave. Just then there is a knock at the office door, and Noel is overjoyed to greet Regina with Renato.

Back at Pablo's, the doctor has managed to squeeze Remigio into a tuxedo for their casino visit, and he insists Remigio looks a perfect gentleman; but Remigio remains doubtful and very uncomfortable. His shoes are killing him, and as he exits rocking slightly side to side in his black and white costume, the soundtrack plays what seem to be penguin calls.

Finishing her bath, Lulu dutifully dons the uniform of her trade: black lace stockings, corset, black-ribbon garter, feather bonnet and crinoline dance skirt. With a melancholy gaze at the mirror, she wistfully imagines telling Remigio the truth, wishing he'll forgive her. He's her only hope for escaping this life; and if he agrees, she thinks happily, she'll marry him right away.

Later downstairs in the cloak room, Pablo chuckles when Remigio swears he can't imagine having to dance in those shoes that are destroying his toes. Inside, a drunken customer gives Lulu a hard time. He cajoles her that she's not very nice to him, despite him being a big roller; he promises big tips, shouts her name "Lulu" out loud over the din so everyone can hear.

Remigio and Pablo are just rounding the landing, when the old goat plants a big kiss on Lulu. Remigio can't miss the scene and is stunned, staring. When Lulu can come up for air, she spies Remigio immediately; and her mouth drops open in abject horror. "Malu," he says to himself and turns, escaping. "Remigio!" she rejoins, running after him, with Fifi and Phillip coming up the rear.

At Noel's office, he's still enjoying the pleasant shock of seeing Regina again. When he assumes she'll want to rest up at home, Renato informs him she refuses to go to the farm. Regina insists she wants to stay in port and has no desire to see either her father or godmother. She's not up for criticisms or sermons; her only worry at that moment is Juan!

When Noel is confused at her worry for Juan, Renato explains Regina insists on seeing Juan at the prison even at this hour of the night, and Noel is astonished. Regina has her rights as his spouse, she maintains. Renato can hardly believe she's sticking to that jerk after all the trouble he went to to save her, but Regina defends Juan and prohibits Renato from insulting him anymore.

The only thing she's interested in, Renato tells his father, is seeing Juan right away; please tell her it's impossible at the moment! he begs. And a criminal like Juan doesn't deserve to be visited! Noel does agree that they need more than the sheriff's authority; but when Regina pleads that she'll go on bended knee before the sheriff, Noel looks perplexed.

He points out that she left there with Juan without loving him, but returns speaking of him as her husband. What changed in you? Noel asks her. Regina turns to Renato and reminds him that he made her marry Juan; and now in the eyes of the church, they are together until death do them part. It's her right and obligation to see Juan! she begs.

Pablo catches up with a furious and wounded Remigio in the casino foyer, which becomes crowded in a hurry, as Lulu et al arrive, too. Remigio is just shouting that Malu is no cook for the casino; she's a ....! when Lulu pulls up next to him, weeping and begging to let her explain. But he cuts her off. Everything is clear, he says: she was just putting one over on some poor working stiff, who fell hopelessly in love with her.

Lulu pitifully croaks out that she does love him. Oh, yeah, Remigio mocks; you love me, gesturing into the casino, as much or even more than those guys you "entertain." Looking her in the eyes, he bites out in a low growl that she has no shame. He's about to say, you're a... when Pablo interrupts and halts him, warning he might say something he'll regret.

But the only thing Remigio regrets is ever pinning his hopes on this woman! Phillip gasps My God! in the background. Lulu tearfully begs Remigio to believe she was going to tell him the truth; but Remigio wants to know when she was going to do that -- after they were married? On their wedding night, she perhaps intended to mention that she had a surprise for him?

Such as "My real name is Lulu, and I belonged to a lot of men before you!" Lulu is horrified and smacks Remigio across the face, shouting Shut up! and pleading that he not humiliate her that way. But he grabs her wrist and spits out that she has humiliated him! And he never wants to see her ever in his life again! Don't seek him out! Remigio tells her as he cruelly pushes her away and exits the casino, with Lulu crying after him.

At Noel's office, he is surprised by Regina's resolve, and he's going to help her see Juan, which news delights and relieves her. Renato thought his father would help Renato himself; but Noel regretfully ceased doing that after Renato went to apprehend Juan, Noel says. If Regina is so determined, that clearly shows him that Juan treated her well, Noel concludes.

And Regina agrees; he treated her like a queen. With a faraway look, she remembers how he transformed her hatred into love. Juan is a good man! she effuses to Noel. And shyly she explains that she fell in love with this wounded man, persecuted since childhood.

She pleads that he already knows that despite all his suffering, Juan still retains a pure and generous heart. Renato can't believe his ears, but Regina's words relieve Noel. He had thought Juan had completely changed and intended to avenge himself on her; but he's happy to see that did not happen, Noel says. When Noel adds his belief that Juan is innocent, Renato has had enough and shouts, That's it!

Juan doesn't need you to defend him, too! His wife is enough. Noel relents and agrees not to argue the point with his son anymore; and when he and Regina rush off to the jail, Renato insists on accompanying them, whether Regina wants it or not. He didn't come all this way just to abandon her when she most needs him, he says; but agrees to let Regina see Juan alone.

Remigio rushes up to the beach shack, ripping his tuxedo jacket off. Dropping onto a seat in his stark white shirt, white tie and white waistcoat, he stares into space, dwelling on Lulu's deceit. She deceived me, he moans, lips quivering and beginning to cry.

She was only toying with me! He glances down and pulls the stopper out of a rum bottle with a pop, then lays his head back and turns it all the way upside down in his mouth, downing big drafts with a sputter. Malu! he cries, piteously, looking heavenward.

Back at the casino upstairs, Phillip tries to comfort Lulu, but she's sure she has lost Remigio now. He'll never forgive her. Phillip kneels and gently reminds her she never told Remigio the truth and now he'll never believe her. Fifi joins in to point out she warned her were Lulu not frank, instead of a happy life she could wind up in a tragedy. Lulu can only cry, "I've lost him, I've lost him!"

At the sheriff's office, he insists to Noel that he can't go against the orders of his superiors: Juan gets no visitors without special permission of a judge. He understands Juan's wife should have every right to see him. The sheriff surprisingly levels with Noel and admits that although Noel might doubt it, the sheriff respects Noel.

Despite that he can't let it get back to his superiors that he violated their orders. Noel tries a different tack and appeals to the sheriff, for the first time in his life to rise to the occasion and do the right thing. The sheriff also is a man of honor, Noel maintains. Something must click in the sheriff, because he draws Noel near to him to explain what they must do.

The next thing we see are two guards in the jail, coming to relieve the standing one. Back in a dark hallway, Noel, Regina and Renato skulk off to the side, waiting. Noel explains they must be careful, that the sheriff gave him a key to use during the changing of the guard. Suddenly, the sheriff appears and pulls all the guards away and takes them off with him somewhere, perhaps as if to brief or debrief them. Noel et al make their move out of the shadows.

At the beach shack, a miserable Remigio continues drinking and torturing himself with sweet memories of meetings with "Malu" that led to their love and betrothal. Then remembering what horrible sights he saw at the casino, Remigio decides how right Juan has been -- that there's nothing worse than betrayal. Gulping more rum, he begins to say that without her, he'd rather... but trails off and turns to reach out to the little devotional niche, where he sadly eventually finds no solace and turns away again in dejection.

In Juan's jail cell, he demands of Aimee where Regina is and whether Regina sent Aimee there. Aimee neither knows nor cares and denies anybody tells her what to do. Except him, she vows. She came there for him! She's on his side, she says, and claims she doesn't want to be a part of this plot her family hatched against him!

He won't let her touch him and can't believe that she loves him, despite her protestations. Without him, nothing is the same, she claims. Meanwhile, outside the prison waiting in the carriage, Celia notices with a start that a carriage in front of them belongs to Renato and worries Renato may discover Aimee there. She decides to just have the driver turn around and wait and see what happens.

Pablo and Gabriel encounter the boyz on the beach, and Pablo explains the rough situation at the casino, asking if they've seen Remigio. Pablo is afraid Remigio's going to do something crazy, and this worries the boyz. They embark on a search for him.

In the jail, when Aimee begs Juan not to abandon her, he throws back in her face that it were she who abandoned him, throttling her with hands around her neck as best he could in manacles. Aimee admits she lied, but tearfully pleads that it was because she feared Renato for her life. She claims she truly loves Juan, and when Juan points out she married Renato instead, Aimee reminds Juan he discarded her as his enemy and didn't want to see her anymore.

Doesn't he remember?! she screams at him. Juan looks a little abashed. Aimee swears she doesn't know why, but he's like a dagger in her heart, a poison! If he only knew how she cried in regret for not leaving with him! Poor Juan looks confused, shaking his head. She knows she was wrong and deserves his hatred, Aimee says. Despite all that, she came to tell him that she loves him and can't live without him.

Rushing to hang on him and gaze into Juan's eyes, Aimee declares she'd rather die than lose him! When all Juan can think of to say is, And what about Regina? Where is Regina? Aimee looks like she wants to kill. Out in the hallway, the three skulkers draw nearer to Juan's cell. Renato tries to insinuate himself into Regina's visit.

Back in the jail cell, Juan angrily demands to know whether Regina is tied up in some plot involving the letter that revealed the Luzbel's location; but Aimee neither knows nor cares about that. Doesn't Juan care that Aimee is there for him? she shouts at him. Juan gives Aimee shake and growls he is only interested in where Regina is and if she's with Renato!

Up on the bluffs high above the ocean, a rum-muddled and inconsolable Remigio asks the night sky why Malu betrayed him -- why she toyed with him. Down in the beach shack Pablo, Gabriel and the boyz find the empty rum bottle and note that Remigio never drinks and is probably going to do something crazy. They search and find him on the cliffs and try to talk him back from the edge; but Remigio is determined.

The only thing he wants is to die, he says. He repeats that now he understands Juan and knows how betrayal can hurt. Remigio steps back off the cliff and falls down, down into the ocean, where all that can be seen is his stark white sleeve and cuff link in the inky water. His friends search for him along the shore in a boat.

In Juan's cell, Aimee explains that all she knows is Renato changed completely after he saw a letter from Regina. When Aimee asks if Regina wanted to get back at him for torturing her, Juan of course denies anything like that happened. In truth, Regina never hurt him at all; it's Aimee who's the liar. Regina is only a victim, Juan concludes, of Aimee's evil and intrigue. And of the selfishness and jealousy of Renato.

Aimee is laughing at him, claiming that for someone who is supposed to be such a savage, he's as naive as a newborn. The only victims here are the two of them, Aimee says. Victims of Regina and Renato. Outside in the hallway, Noel has had it with Renato and forbids him to go into the cell with Regina; Renato promised he'd let her see Juan alone, and he relents. So off Regina goes, inching down the dark hallway.

Remigio's friends in the boat finally discover him, clinging unconscious to a chunk of driftwood. But there's worse: they see a shark fin slicing through the dark water on it's way toward their unsuspecting friend. The friends are beside themselves with fear and screaming in terror for him. In only a moment the shark slams into Remigio, who awakens in shock and pain. There's blood on the water; lots of blood.

In Juan's jail cell, he's the one laughing at Aimee calling herself a victim. But she means both of them. Think about it; he's in jail as a fugitive from the law. Renato's been determined to convict Juan since he discovered from Regina's diary that she was in love with Renato, Aimee explains. Page after page about the ENORMOUS love she has for Renato, Aimee demonstrates by waiving both arms around in the air.

Juan doesn't think Regina loves Renato anymore, he says. Aimee's not so sure and alleges Regina sent Renato after Juan. She doesn't love him, Juan repeats. Does...not...love.. him. Well, Renato is definitely interested in Regina, Aimee says, and wants to get rid of herself. Whatever Juan says in court about their past together is going to hurt her; so he has to keep quiet, Aimee insists.

If he doesn't, they're going to throw the book at him for smuggling and piracy. If he doesn't cause a scandal, Aimee will fix it so that the family and Renato -- especially Renato -- leave him alone, she claims. It's she who can save him, if he keeps quiet. She can save him, because she loves him; she'll always love him.

She's his forever, like he is hers. Nobody can tear him out of her heart. Outside we can see Regina approaching Juan's cell door, just as Aimee sidles up to Juan and begins to give him a kiss to convince him. Juan pushes Aimee away, but only after lingering a moment, and the damage is done. Regina weeps silently, looking on.

Sorry this will have to be a short one tonight. Got home late and have an early morning. I know I missed a lot and didn't add much vocab. Please feel free to add and or correct.

We have last nights leftovers, with Marco overjoyed with Ale’s so called change of heart. She is asking him to be patient with her. Marco assures her nothing will ruin their relationship this time. Everything will be different. He tells her he will not make the same mistakes. Ale looks like she is getting root canal as Marco goes to kiss her goodnight. She tells him they will talk in the morning. He tells her to have a good night and dream about him. She walks to the corner and says a little silent prayer and we hear Marco’s inner demon saying “ It doesn’t matter what she feels or doesn’t feel for me I am going to get married under whatever conditions she wants.”

Is that birthday party still going on? Yep. Marino first gets mad at Ramirez for ditching the lovely lady he set him up with than gets mad at Pepito for dancing with her. Then Dandy sees an opportunity to take over from Pepito. Marino is less happy with this and goes after Dandy as well asking him what would his little vegetarian think about this. Our poor young woman just wants to have fun and she isn‘t having any fun with Ramirez. She tells Sandra she is leaving. When Sandra asks why she tells her because Marino ruined it, grabs her purse and angrily tells her they will talk in the morning. Ramirez is also off as he thanks Marino for the party. He has a lady waiting for him.

Over at Rafa’s house we have some one else who has ruined all of Vicky’s fun. Vicky has poor Rafa half undressed when Lenora walks in and tells Vicky it is about time she goes home. Vicky tries to talk Rafa into going somewhere else and Rafa begs off. Once Vicky leaves he gratefully thanks Lenora. Than he tells her he has good news. He got his car back. (oh the simple pleasures of life.)

Rafa, Lenora and Juliette all go outside to celebrate. They have a toast to welcome back the panther. Rafa also has to make sure it still starts. And they have another drink.

Ale tip toes to her new bedroom with her new roommate Tia Rosario, peacefully asleep. Ale says a little prayer to God to forgive her for using Marco like this. After all she has to do something to get Rafa to react. We have Rafa in his room praying to Santa Claus to help him not allow Ale to marry Marco.

Marino is now charming Sandra. She asks him if he is married, divorced, or separated. He tells her none of the three. He is single, that is until she decides otherwise. She asks him if he has any children and Marino chokes a little bit and says no but a little girl would make them both crazy. (Was that a pick-up line?)

Our cartoon rooster is on the picket fence letting us all know a new day has begun. Rafa’s phone rings and he is all excited thinking it is Ale. He’s not that lucky. It is Vicky. She wants some help with writing their wedding vows. Rafa tells her is he quite busy and Vicky says not to worry she will write them for the both of them. Over at camp Marco, Ale’s phone rings. She is all excited thinking it might be Rafa. Nope it is Marco calling from the bar telling her he loves her. She has no reply to this. He wants to know if he should come and get her later so they could have lunch together. She tells him she will be to busy but will call him later.

The Siglo crew have arrived at Auto Siglo. We have some talk about last night’s festivities. Claudia get’s a phone call from Marco and fines a secluded corner to talk with him. Gossip girl (Rosaura) not far behind, manages to sneak a listen. Marco is drilling her for information about Rafa and Ale. Claudia wants to know if something is going on between them. Marco offended by this tells her that he and Ale are getting Married. Claudia is quite surprised by this news, but not as surprised as Marco is to hear that Ale hasn’t told anyone yet. Marco informs her that Rafa isn’t the great salesman he is pretending to be. She can’t believe this.

Rafa shows up to Siglo and tells Susana to get everyone ready for the meeting. Then he asks her to get the door fixed to his office.

Rosaura wants Claudia to share her gossip. Who is getting married? Claudia tells her it is Ale and Marco. Rosaura is stunned at this news. Aren’t they fighting? Claudia tells her they are getting married at the end of the month. Now it is Claudia’s turn to grill Rosaura about Rafa’s resume. Did she see it? Does she remember what it said? (for all of you who didn’t see this from the beginning Rafa’s original resume wasn’t up to Ale’s standards and she and Susana made up a bunch of things so Beltran would hire him. That‘s the resume that Rosaura saw.) She tells Claudia about all his wonderful experience and all of his schooling. Claudia’s little brain is a whirl as she takes this all in. Rosaura wants to know why she is interested. Claudia says just curious, and slyly changes the subject.

The funniest scene of the whole night. Marco answers his phone and can barely hear who is on the other end. It is Chavez. Marco wants to know where in the devil is he. He is in Bagdad sitting crossed legged sucking on a rubber hose dressed in a white gown complete with a checkered head dress. (I fell off my chair). He tells him he can’t imagine how much he misses Mexico. “The people are really strange. And the women are covered up to their heads and you can barely see their eyes and she can’t say anything witty to them. And no they don’t sell whiskey any where and every so often bullets go flying by. I just want to come back, no matter what happens.” Marco tells him he has good news. He is going to get married. Chavez asks “Who, Carmela?” Marco tells him not to be an idiot, who else, Ale. Chavez is quite surprised and wants to know how that happened. Marco tells him it was Ale who asked him to marry her. He tells him that in order for the old man to make it to the wedding it is really important to find Ruby (yes!!) and make her return to Mexico. He tells Marco he doesn’t speak English and if he tries to speak English everyone gives him ugly looks and yells at him. He doesn’t think they really like the gringos. And of course he doesn’t speak “Iraqui”. Marco yells at him and tells him to call him when he finds Ruby and hangs up him.

Chavez is left thinking that this all sounds quite strange. Marco tells him he is going to marry Ale but it is important that he find Ruby and in the meantime Marco is having a great time (pasar la bomba ) while bombs are literally passing over Chavez head. Maybe he was lying about Carmela and he just wanted to get him out of the country so he could take his place at the Hacienda. Just than bombs drop and Chavez tells himself to stop thinking bad things about his good friend Marco.

Ale has arrived dressed in a very smart royal blue pantsuit. She asks Susana if Rafa has showed up yet. She also wants to know when they are going to put the door up in her office. Susana informs her that Rafa has already asked about this. Ale seems miffed at this and heads off to the meeting

Trapito drops off a few things for Susana. A care package for Rosaura and a manila envelope for Ale. Inside is a wedding invitation. We are given no further information.

We have our little meeting. Ale is disappointed in the sales. Everyone has an excuse. Marino certain he has the most sales is quite outraged when Dandy corrects him and reminds him about the deal they made regarding the sales to Sandra. Rafa and Marino almost come to blows a few times. Marino starts on about all the improper mingling that is going on. He refers to Dandy and Susana and Rafa and Ale. Rafa ends up grabbing Marino and kicking him out of the meeting.

Marino huffs up rudely and tells Susan he needs to talk to Beltran. Susana puts him in his place and tells him not to talk to her like that. She tells him Beltran hasn’t arrived yet. We have a scene with Dona Arcadia and her secretary who is telling her Marino wants to talk to her. She doesn’t want to see him. She tells him to tell Marino she can see him in the year 2020. She would rather talk to her dogs than him.

Our final scene is back in the meeting room where Rosaura is asking Ale about her wedding. Isn’t she getting married at the end of the month? Rafa has the same root canal expression on his face as he looks over at Ale.

Jimena and Jacinta try to soothe MdR who is mumbling for Juan.

Juan sits in jail, remembering his conversation with Reggie at the clambake. Despite her hearfelt declaration of loyalty to him, he still thinks she's lying…no, wait, he has doubts, I think! Yay! He says she couldn't have been lying!

Regina remembers that she was sick in this very cabin, and Juan saved her. It's not a sad place for her, it's full of beautiful memories. Renato thinks she's lying and defending Juan, but he's sure she suffered. He disses Juan's upbringing and manners. He digs the new look, though, which she doesn't like him liking. He tries to get her to confess what a bad, bad man Juan has been. She just wants to be left alone. He asks again, if Juan is really her husband, if she slept with him. Regina admits they didn't, but she loves him anyway and belongs to him anyway. So there.

Juan declares to God that she's not a hideous lying cow like her sister! Yay! He's convinced she couldn't have lied! Keep the dream alive, Juan! We're counting on you!

Aimee lies to Leo that she was nauseous all night and can't go to the port with her. Leo gives up and says she'll go alone, but Aimee needs to stay there. Aimee coughs pitifully until Leo leaves. She struts around, thinking she's got her own plans now that Juan is back. Cow.

Santos goes running into Jacinta's hut, but she's not there. Pedro says they should be worried about Juan right now. Remi can't believe they're still going to put him on trail. None of them know where Regina is.

The hired captain annouces they're ready to leave and Reggie is so excited she looks like she'd get out and push if it got them there any faster. The guy gives Renato a cablegram, which he reads to Reggie. Now they both know that Juan is alive, that he's gotten to Veracruz, and that the Coast Guard captain is asking for Juan's actions in saving the ship to be taken into account. Reggie is thrilled. And then the ship starts moving and she gets even more excited. It sucks all the life out of Renato. But he says he won't lose her again, now that he's found her. Oh, shut up, Renato! We need the Greek Mariachi Chorus from Soy tu Dueña to wander in and just keep up a running "Que te callas" every time he comes on screen. Don't get me wrong, I luuuuuuurve Cristian de la Fuente, but I will jump up and down and cheer if someone kicks Renato overboard before they get to Veracruz. Te lo juro!

Doc Miranda says MdR fainted from her years of malnutrition. She needs rest. Jimena goes to town to see if Juan has arrived yet.

Salma and her fake family are all packed and ready to go. Mariela still looks doubtful. The grandparents are grateful to Raul for everything. He's sorry to see them go, but he hopes they'll see each other soon. Grandpa invites him to Puebla. Raul advises Salma to be good to her Mami after everything she's suffered. Mariela thanks Raul and then they all head for the front door.

Jimena runs down the beach and hears the Coast Guard captain talking about Juan. He tells her that Juan is prisoner when she asks, but that the crew are all free. Jimena hesitates and then goes running back the way she came.

Mariela is hesitating inRaul's house. Everyone else has left, except Raul. She touches her palm, presumably remembering Jimena, and then tearfully says they should leave.

Jimena sees the family leaving and gives Salma a dirty look. She calls to Mariela, but there's a drunk guy and a couple of soldiers in her way. She busts through and calls again, but they're gone. She realizes they believed everything Salma said.

The sheriff tells Leonarda they're out of options for keeping things quiet. He can't tie people's tongues or shut off their imaginations. Everybody knows what's going on and they're all on Juan's side. The captain says they ought to reward Juan instead of locking him up, and unfortunately, the public sees him as practically a saint. Juan himself has refused to speak other than at his trial. The sheriff says they can't avoid a trial now. He tried to stop Renato for this very reason, but Renato wouldn't be stopped. Leo asks to speak alone to Juan. The sheriff doesn't think she can bribe him, but Leo isn't convinced. He tries to warn her off, but she insists.

Jimena finds the crew, tells them Jacinta is at Doc Miranda's and insists they all come with her. She says a lot has been happening, Jacinta is fine, and she has life-changing news for Juan.

Regina is looking out the window. She gives Renato a hard time for coming in without knocking. He tells her they'll be in Veracruz tonight. She's happy, but Renato begs her to come back to the finca with him. We all know what the answer to that will be!

Jimena brings them all into Doc Miranda's office and says this is her surprise. Remigio says it's Arcadio's wife, but Pedro says it's a miracle…this isn't Arcadio's wife, of course not! He gets teary and finally tells the guys that this is Maria del Rosario! She's Juan's mother!

Noel remembers the scene between Salma and Branko when Branko said that she and Griselda were cheating that family out of money. What if the accusation is true? What if Salma really isn't Mariela's daughter? Noel goes to find Gabriel and talk it over with him.

Yes, she's really Juan's mother, and yes, she's really alive. Remigio says finally Juan will have some hope in his life. And maybe a little peace and happiness in his soul. MdR sleeps on.

Juan is going crazy being cooped up. He starts using a torch to bust himself out, but hears the guard coming to escort Leo. He hides behind the door with his improvised club, but unfortunately doesn't attack her. He does give her a scare, though. He asks what she wants.

Santos now realizes why Juan had those feelings for this woman. They all agree to go find Juan and tell him his Mami is alive. They see Clemencia on the way out and tell her that Juan is in jail. She came to see the doc and ask about Rosenda. Pedro brings her to see MdR. She looks a little confused, but realizes it's MdR. And she's aliiiiiiive! Clemencia tells them not to tell anyone about this! They'd be putting MdR's life in danger. If she's alive and everyone said she was dead, this is the evildoing of the Montes de Oca's! They'd do anything to kill her for realz if they hear that she's alive. Gabe agrees with her. Jimena points out she's in danger in the port. Jacinta wants to take care of her back at her hut. Clemencia agrees and says they'll take turns taking care of her and hide her away until they're sure she's not in any danger. Clemencia keeps crying over her and calling her "mi güerita."

Juan shoos Leonarda away, but she says she's there to ask him to be a gentleman during his trial. That it will hurt Renato, who was only a victim of Aimee. Leo reminds him that Renato drove them all nuts insisting on treating Juan fairly. Juan and Aimee betrayed Renato and now he's in danger of being exposed as having married a ho. Juan says that's what Renato gets for chasing him down and making him come home, so too bad! He tells Leo someone else can save Renato, because he's planning to tell the whole truth. Leo calls him "soberbio." Well, he says, I am a Montes de Loca! Leo says he's cursed because MdR gave herself to his father. He threatens to choke her to death with his chains. She tells him to go for it. She'll do anything to save her precious Renato. He tells her to beg.

The carriage with Mariela, et al, drives down the road. Mariela says she can't do it. She can't explain it, but there's something…. Some powerful force telling her to go back. She starts crying and it freaks her parents out, but Salma shakes her head "no."

Juan backs off and says he won't fall into her trap. On the day of the trial he'll tell the whole truth and the family will be a laughingstock. Leo tries to threaten him. He says he's living proof of how far she'll go. He accuses her of hating everyone because she was never happy. She can't handle the truth! If he decides to behave as a gentleman, it will be to save the one person who deserves it--Regina! He tells her to get out and take her money elsewhere. Leo gets let out by the guard.

Reggie refuses to go back to the finca. She wants to be near Juan. She begs him to take her to see Juan as soon as they get there.

Noel tells Gabriel he wants to talk to him. He's sure Gabe was right to suspect Salma of not being Mariela's daughter. He tells him that Branko accused Salma of deceiving the family to get money, but they don't have proof. Gabe tells Noel that Branko has left and they have no way of proving their suspicions. Noel is confident they'll find some kind of proof, but for now he thinks they shouldn't say anything.

Grandpa apologizes to Raul for their return. Mariela says she knows she seems crazy, but she was feeling lost again, like when Angela was first taken. Grandma says she's hurting Angela with her words and Mariela apologizes to Salma. Salma whines about being rejected. She says she never should have come there. She thought she'd finally found a home, but now she's without her gypsies or her family. Mariela tries to go after her, but Grandpa tells her to get a grip. Mariela can't deny the invisible force insisting to her that she's still waiting for the miracle. She can't explain it, but she knows she has to stay and wait. She apologizes to Raul, but he's ok with it. He says they can stay as long as they like. He backs her up on listening to her heart. Salma thought bubbles that she's got to get them out of there before she gets found out and loses everything.

Celia knocks on Aimee's door. Aimee is ready to go sneaking out. On the way, she asks Celia to get undressed and switch clothes with her. She gives her a tug on her braid to encourage her.

Fully meets up with Servando on the cliff. He says he likes this place and enjoys being there, because it's like his private cemetery. He tosses people who betray him off this cliff for the sharks to eat. Like he did Griselda.

Celia hates how Aimee's clothes don't let her breathe. Aimee hates the smell of Celia's clothes. She wants Celia to let herself be seen going to Rodrigo's house, but keep her face covered with the veil. Meanwhile, Aimee will make it look like Celia is a skank ho who likes to get it on with men in jail. Celia needs to let herself be seen around town, but not talk to anyone. Aimee calls to the coachman that "Celia" will be getting out now. Aimee gets out and starts walking.

Fully threatens Servando to see if he can find out who wants to kill him.

Aimee is freaked out by a rat at the prison. No, not her own reflection, an actual rat. A couple of soldiers stop her, but she claims to have the sheriff's permission to see Juan. She gives the guys some coins and they let her pass.

Reggie finally makes it to Veracruz.

Juan eats his dinner and thinks of Reggie. He has to see her! She couldn't have betrayed him! It wasn't her! He has to talk to her! A soldier calls to him and says a woman came to see him. He hopes it's Reggie, but he gets Aimee instead. She keeps enough of her face hidden for it to be ambiguous. Except we all know Reggie doesn't wear that much eye makeup.

Que te callas=shut up already, Renato
Te lo juro=I swear!
mi güerita=my little blonde girl
Soberbio=arrogant

In which Jade becomes increasingly reckless, and Said becomes increasingly abusive...

Said is trying to explain to Abdul that he has learned from his errors with Jade. In the past he was condescendiente with her, but that is going to change. (False friend alert: in this context, the word means overly accommodating, or understanding.) And Abdul replies:
Allah repartió el deseo sexual en 10 partes, Said, le dio 9 partes a las mujeres y una sola a los hombres. No se puede ser débil con ellas, ¡no se puede!
Allah handed out sexual desire in 10 parts, Said; he gave 9 parts to women and only one to men. One cannot show weakness with them, one cannot!

At Salamandra, Rogelio hears Zein’s wedding plans, and tells him he’s crazy. Malicia tries to tell tales about Cris to Zein, but he doesn’t pay any attention to her.

Cris wonders why Pablo hasn’t come by since they were going to go to the beach. Vicki suggests that Malicia may have said something to him; Cris doesn’t believe her. She tries calling Pablo. He’s at the gym with Pedro and won’t take her call. He doesn’t want to get Malicia in trouble for telling him that Cris kissed Zein. Pedro is sceptical about Malicia’s motives.

Zoraida and Rania are stranded at the mall, but Rania is losing patience and is ready to spill the beans to Said.

Lucas and Jade are in their love nest. She insists that the only way to get custody of Jadiya is to take her out of the country; Lucas wants to do things legally. Jade says no, she will appear to go along with the marriage Said has arranged but then she will take Jadiya and flee. Lucas must have three tickets waiting for him, her and Jadiya. (I’m a bit confused here. Is she saying that she will go to Morocco or is she intending to run away with Jadiya before then? That would make more sense to me)

Albieri joins Padre Andres and Daniel. Andres wants to know if Albieri is running away with Daniel and asks if Daniel’s mother is aware of the travel plans. No, I'm not running away and Yes, of course, she knows where Daniel is, lies Albieri.

Luisa is disturbed to find Albieri’s packed suitcase at home.

Just when Rania is insisting to Zoraida that they leave the mall, Jade comes running up to them. Rania says she’s going to tell Said what really happened. At home, the servant informs them that Said has gone to the mall to look for them. When the sisters are alone, Amina advises Rania to tell Said everything. I can’t, says Rania, I lied to him

Lucia, meanwhile, meets Said in the mall and tells him she just saw Rania and Zoraida and, no, Jade wasn’t with them.

At Mohamed’s place, Ali talks to Amin about his gifts to Karla and tells him that Allah will forgive him if he is truly sorry. And Latifa tells Mohamed that indeed, Amin really is sorry. What about you? he wants to know. Are you sorry for not trusting me? For threatening me? She asks his forgiveness.

Ramon tries to get Gloria interested in gossiping about the Hilda – Karla – Mohamed kerfuffle, but she tells him to get back to work. It’s not easy, baby.

Samira, Zumaya and Jadiya tell Amin they are going to the supermarket, but actually go to the park to see Carlos play.

Said comes home, summons the women, and explodes in rage. I know everything, he says. It’s all a lie!
Turning to Rania he says:
Yo te repudio. Yo te repudio. Yo....
Before he can say it three times, Jade interrupts him and takes full responsibility, saying Rania didn’t know anything. Where were you, Jade? he asks. I think you know where I was, she answers. He smacks her across the face with such violence that even Amina appears shocked. To Jade he says: You’ll never come back to the US again. You’ll never see Jadiya again. And to Rania: If you run afoul of me again, I’ll send you back.

Daniel sees Karla in a club, makes a move on her and after an unconvincing protest, she yields. Ramon sees them making out and appears shocked. (Why? Does he know Lucas? or Daniel?)

At home, Andrea tries to get Roberto to soften his position on Fernando; he stands firm.

While at Empresa Ferrer, Carolina is giving Fernando a not very convincing talking-to. You get one more chance, she says. Next infraction and you are out.

Escobar tells Malicia he’s done pressuring Fernando to see him. Malicia tells him she’s taking on more and more of Cristina’s work responsibility. Soon she’ll have her job.

At Salamandra, Cris is still trying to call Pablo, who refuses to answer her calls. Lucas comes in and Vicki points out Zein to him. From the way he narrows his eyes, he must know that Zein is the chosen bridegroom for Jade.

Amalia and Leo are in a restaurant when Marisa walks in, followed by Said. Leo is shocked to see them kissing. Amalia and Leo leave.

Marisa and Said have their usual conversation about their need to hurt Lucas and Jade. Hate is their favorite aphrodisiac, it seems.

At Salamandra, Vicki suggests that Cris ask Malicia why Pablo’s not taking her calls. Lucas greets Cris, but they are interrupted by a call from Leo asking Lucas to come home right away.

The frequently odious Daniel beds the always odious Karla. (I just hope these people are familiar with safe sex. Where is a public service announcement when you need it?)

At Casa Ferrer, Leo looks so distraught that Rosa offers him Valerian root tea. When Lucas arrives, Leo says he is worried about Marisa’s behavior:
Acabo de verla besandose con otro hombre.
I just saw her kissing another man.
So what, says Lucas. We’re separated, we’ve both been unfaithful. No, says Leo, it’s her choice of lover that alarms me. She’s out to hurt you.

And in their hotel room, Said and Marisa go at it like two wolves hungrily trying to devour one another. (If only they would – it would spare so many other people so much misery!)

Jade has discovered that she is locked into her bedroom. Said has taken the key. Amina thinks she deserves the treatment she’s getting, but Rania is upset by it.

Daniel shares with Karla his plans to travel to the desert and his hopes of meeting the veiled woman he has dreamt of, the woman with the green stone, a jade stone. He ‘remembers’ Lucas’s first sight of Jade dancing in Ali’s house.

And the imprisoned Jade beseeches Allah: Ayúdame a encontrar mi destino.
(Help me find my destiny).

I was a bit late to the TV because Superman the Miniature Horse had escaped and was eating a neighbor's grass... I entered as Jorge was gasping...

• Rafa's posse wants to know what hold that ugly nymphomaniac has over Marco. Clearly one of them must sacrifice his virtue in order to pry the secret out of her. Nelson says he can't do it because he has his own "particular police." After much guilt-tripping, Pepeto reluctantly "volunteers" to take one for the team and offer his fair form to Carmela the Ardent.
  
  
• Jorge and Rosario are so happy with Marco, it's a lovefest! OK, so why don't THEY marry him? Jorge wastes no time in handing over all the legal papers (including the lien on Rafa's home) and Marco is licking his chops over having the hacienda (I believe he's already lined up a buyer) ...
  
  ... When Ale appears with some serious buyer's remorse, quite repulsed by Marco. He, however, is euphoric and relieved - but eventually realizes he's not feeling the love, Ale looks like she's chewing on a lemon. Could it be - MEDINA?
  
  Marco assures the family: he will take care of all difficulties and rid them of the detestable Chavez (who may be in Iraq at this very moment looking for Rubi)...
  
  "So few guests?" Jorge asks. "The first time you invited 200." They all sent presents, too, which were never returned, so wouldn't it be bad form not to invite them to the wedding? Ale thinks she can't invite them a third time having cancelled the wedding twice before. She lies and says Susana will be at the beach and can't attend, and in fact she doesn't want anybody from Auto Siglo.
  
  All, however, agree the famous Urdiales must be there, must in fact be the guest of honor. "Give us his address so we can send the invitation." Marco chokes.
  
  
• Rafa hassles the bank manager: can't they approve his loan sooner than the end of the month? If he doesn't pay back Vicki's dad, he'll have to marry her!
  
  
• The Siglos go to their favorite hangout to celebrate Ramirez' birthday. Marino invites his intended next spouse and tells her to bring a friend. He only offers to buy one bottle of tequila, what a cheapskate. But when he tells his co-workers they must be on best behavior so as to impress the mother of his future daughter, they say they'll name all his sons for her, one by one, unless he pays for everything all night!
  
  The ladies arrive. Marino bores Sandra; Ramirez bores Caroline - saved, she leaps up with alacrity when Pepeto invites her to dance.
  
  
• Jaime tells Julieta he needs a little money and needs to write his thesis and then BANG BANG BANG it's Vicki Vicki Vicki at the door. She sweeps in, throws them all onto a couch, and proceeds to describe in minute detail all her plans for the wedding day. E.g., Julieta and her mom will wear the same dress, one which Vicki will design. They have all been stunned senseless by the time Rafa gets home...
  
  ... Rafa tarries outside: The guy who currently owns "The Panther" meets him at the curb and takes 1000 pesos and signs over the title. Rafa is overjoyed. At this moment there is no human being who's offering him such unalloyed pleasure. He kisses his car and admires its "new shoes." He should have stayed outside longer because...
  
  ... when he opens the door VVV jumps up, sucks on him like a remora, then throws him onto the couch and goes on with her dictatorial pronouncements. They all fall asleep but as VVV sings the Bridal March to her self ...
  
  She notices her snoozing audience and wakes them with a scream - all melt away leaving poor Rafa in her clutches.
  
  But wait! At the door she collars Jaime and tells him he will be padrino, "THE SECOND FATHER," to her first son. Rafa finds this odd.
  
  
• At this point there was a tremendous crash of lightning and my tv went out. Is it gone forever? I'll keep you posted.

Review: Regina is telling Renato how generous Juan is. Ren doesn't get it and asks how Juan won her over, Regi replies, with his goodness. He has taught me to see life in a new way. Renato is trying to tell Regi that he really loves her. Regi says please Renato, he drops his hand in disgust, I know what you are thinking, that I am your sister's husband (well, duh), but the error I committed in marrying Aimee can't erase these feelings. Renato! she walks away and he comes up behind her, putting his hands on her arms - say what you will, I am not convinced. I know that you still love me as I love you. He puts his arms around her, ack, kick him already!

Lightning is striking over the military ship, Juan and the guys are struggling valiantly against the storm, struggling to keep the ship from capsizing. Lots of shouting and dramatic music, more lightning strikes, rain pouring, the ship is rocking on the waves. Colibri is hanging on to Juan piggyback, looks to me like it's making it harder for Juan to steer.

At the Puerto all the gypsies are back at the camp with Branko, he is thanking them. They ask him to be their new leader, they don't trust Servando, he has never been good, he has not honored their way of life. Branko says it's a big responsibility but he accepts. Everyone cheers! Tonight the camp is going to leave on a new adventure, more hurrahs.

At the Finca, Celia, unlike everyone else in the house, knocks before entering Aimee' s room. Celia is laughing at the conversation between Aimee and Leo that she heard part of before Leo left. Aimee grabs her pigtails, and says, so you were listening. I couldn't help but hear some of it. My Madrina wants to go to the Puerto to see Aguacil and interfere with the trial of Juan, but I don't want to go! She can't make me. It's better if you go, though, because if you don't, who is going to support you? Renato. He isn't jealous now, but I know how to get him back. I have a marvelous idea (oh please). I need your help and discretion. I'll do whatever you ask, you can count on me, as she kisses her necklace. You can't let me down, Celia. Because, as Aimee returns to her mirror and talks to herself in it, because everything is going to be alright, it will be as I always dreamed. She caresses the mirror, I am going to make Renato love me again, he won't deny me anything, you'll see. We'll move to the puerto, away from that bruja of a Madrina, and everything will be peachy. But how are you going to explain that the child you are expecting doesn't exist? That is the only problem with this plan (really?), and gazing at herself in the mirror, she says we'll just have to find a way to fix it.

Noel is telling Leo and Rod that there is more bad news, that Juan is at the port being detained. Rod says he's just getting what he deserves. Leo is worried that Renato will end up being humiliated and more there will be more scandal in the family. Noel says it's simple, just drop the charges against Juan and there won't be a problem, you all have the solution in your hands. Rod says no way! Juan has to suffer his consequences just like his father even though it has created an infierno. Leo doesn't like this idea, she wants to protect her precious Renato.

On the ship Colibri is steering the ship in calm weather and telling Juan how he was afraid but when Juan took the wheel he wasn't, awww. Remigio tries to convince Juan to steer the boat to an island so they can escape. But Juan won't do that, he says he gave his word to the captain, and he doesn't know why, but he doesn't want to go back on that. Remi still tries to convince him saying that when they get to the port, they may go free but Juan is going into the mouth of the wolf. But I have to go the port, I have to find Regina and find out how this happened, at whatever price.

Jimena and Gabe are being happy and lovey even though he is still in pain. There is a knock on the door, and it is Branko come to say goodbye. He is happy to see Gabe is better. He tells them he is going, and all the gypsies with him except for Grizelda and Servando. He reminds Gabe that their blood pact is for always, no matter what, and it supercedes any rivalry or rancor that they had. He asks to sit down, and says to Jimena that he knows she loves Gabe and that she would never love him, that it's too hard for him to stay and he is going to leave so they will be happy.

Mariela tells Salma she needs to forgive Jimena as it isn't good for her soul to hang on to resentment. No, I'm never going to forgive Jimena! I want something terrible to happen to her! Abuela says hija, what are you saying? Salma, realizing she has revealed too much, says, I'm sorry Abuela, but Jimena deserves it for all the bad she had done. After she leaves, Abuela says even after all the hurt Jimena has caused Angela, I can tell you still care about her. Mariela says, yes, even with all the terrible things Salma has told her, she can't really believe it, and she still cares deeply about Jimena. From the moment she saw Jimena she had a place in her heart, and I asked her to look at me as a mother. I can't explain it. Abuela doesn't know what to say. Mariela says she doesn't know what is happening to her, she can't explain it but there is something between her and Jimena.

Gabe is telling Branko he admires him, he is a man of honor and wishing him the best. Branko hopes to someday find a woman like Jimena. She says Branko! He says I love you even though it isn't returned. All I ask of you Gabe is that you care for her and protect her. Gabe gives him a hug and they have a brotherly shake. He tells Jimena she is in his heart. He so very nobly leaves. Wow. After he is gone, Jimena asks Gabe if she can go to the camp and say goodbye to Branko in the traditional gypsy way and say goodbye to her people. He says of course. His trust in her is so refreshing.

At the camp the gypsies are dancing and celebrating. Jimena shows up and Branko is moved. They dance together. Then Branko tells her to keep dancing, that he wants his memory to be of her dancing. She looks like she is going to cry and Branko is crying. He bows, and leads the whole camp off into the night while Jimena keeps dancing. Once they are gone, she stands in the camp remembering and crying, and looking up at Orion.

Back at the Doc's place he is checking on Gabe who is still in some pain. Doc says he is getting better faster than he expected and Gabe says for sure love cured me. Gabe asks him what's going on at the Finca with the MdOs? How is Senora Aimee? Doc remembers Aimee's attempt at seduction and says, nothing, nothing worth talking about. Now if you'll excuse me, I have things to do.

Grizzy has arrived at the cave and is suitably impressed with it. Fulgencio says come in, I've been waiting for you. Don Fulgencio, what a surprise, what a marvelous place! He kisses her hand and she says she's dying of curiosity to know the surprise he has for her. You can't imagine, but it's outside, not here in the cave. She says outside, what kind of surprise is it? I can't say, come with me. They head out of the cave arm in arm.

At the dressmaker's, Federico and Eloisa are in the throes of passion and the dressmaker is listening at the door. Fed asks her how much she trusts this dressmaker? Eloisa says of course I trust her, she is a poor idiot, she won't ever betray us. Dressmaker says to herself, so I am a poor idiot, it's time you learn what I am capable of.

Fully has been dragging Grizzy on quite a hike to the top of some cliffs above the ocean. She says she can't go any further. Standing on the cliffs he says, here it is. Griz says she doesn't see anything. Fully pulls out his knife and tells her he trusted her. She gets the past tense, and says I haven't betrayed you. I asked you if you had been hanging out with Servando and you said no, but I saw you when they freed Branko. She says he must be mistaken, but Fulgencio is never mistaken. Flash for a moment to Servando wondering why all the gypsies have left him. Fully asks Grizzy who paid you to fool me? She tries to deny it and I think says something like it's bad juju to kill a gypsy, he says he doesn't believe any of that. He'll give her one chance to save her life. Again, tell me who paid you? She says, I can't, I can't! He stabs her and after she falls he says I'm sorry, but I'm not a patient man, you lost the chance to save yourself. He pushes her with his foot off the cliff. Flash again to Servando now wondering where that maldita Griselda has gotten to. We go back to see her body some way down the cliffs and Fulgencio telling himself he still didn't get an answer as to who betrayed him.

Gabe is sitting on the bed reviewing the good bye to his bff Branko. Jimena is back and tells him Branko and all the gypsies are gone. He says you look sad, and tells her he is sure Branko will find someone to love him, she agrees. Then he starts clutching his chest and bending over in pain, Jimena is starting to freak out. He sits against the headboard, still appearing to be in pain, and she wants to know how to help him. He starts telling her to kiss him here, kiss him there, he was just fooling. Gabe! Lots of happy kissing.

Ren is still hassling Regina, but now telling her he is going and she should try to relax. But before he leaves he has to say that she is denying her real feelings, tells her not to fight it (OMG), whatever you say I know you love me. I want to slap him! After he leaves she tearfully says to herself, why now Renato? It's too late, I love only Juan even though you keep denying it.

The Captain is talking to Juan and saying you had control over the boat last night and you could have escaped, why didn't you? Juan says I gave you my word and I didn't want to deceive you. You'll complete your mission, although a little late. The Captain says what a man of honor Juan is, another bromance is born.

Ren comes to tell Regi the Luzbel is ready and they can go. She begs him to take back his accusations but he insists he doesn't have the power to do that, it is in the hands of the law now. Riiight. Juan is looking at the ring and thinking of Regina Montes de Oca. He says to himself, like a star, and flashes back to being with her on the beach and her telling him he is now Juan de Dios. Back to Ren saying to Regi that if Juan is as innocent as she says he will go free.

Servando and Federico are talking about where Griselda could be. Servi is worried and is sure she didn't go with the camp. They agree it is very strange, and say something about Fully which I didn't get. Then Fed is talking to Fully and asking about Griz, and Fully is suspicious, why do you care? Fed tries to back up and say it was just concern for him, that she is good at reading the cards. He asks Fed about Servando and Fed probably knows more than he should about where he is. Fully asks Fed to tell Servando to meet him at the Cueva de Santa Cruz tonight on a very important matter. Uh Oh. He tells Fed he is sure of Servando's loyalty.

Clem and Noel are concerned about Juan, didn't get much of this.

Jacinta and Maria del Rosario have gone to the church and on their way in the square they see Rodrigo. Maria del Rosario's scarf just happens to blow in the wind and get caught on a branch revealing her face to Rod. Both are muy impactados. She quickly covers up and she and Jacinta scurry off to the church.

The Villareals are getting ready to leave. Fake Angela and the Abuelos are all happy together but Mariela is increasingly troubled. Abuela tries to tell her she'll be happy in Puebla and forget all about Jimena. Mariela can't accept that.

Back to Rod who is stunned and has to sit down. He tells himself it can't be, she is dead, must be his imagination, because of that bastard coming back. It's always Juan's fault. Jacinta and Maria del Rosario are in the church, and Maria del Rosario is having flashbacks to her interrupted wedding and Juan Sr. fighting with the soldiers. She is crying and asking the virgin to protect her son so she can at least see him once. Then she collapses suddenly on the floor.

Back to Mariela talking to her mother and Raul and saying she can't abandon Jimena, that she feels something in her heart and she doesn't understand it. Abuela says after all the terrible things she did to Angela? Mariela says I can't really believe that, Jimena is a good person. Raul says do you think Fake Angela is lying? Mariela says I don't know what to think. (Yay.)

MdR is being carried into the Doc's place with Jacinta and a few people. Gabe says isn't that Arcadio's wife? And Jimena says, no, this is the mother of Juan del Diablo. Gabe and the Doc look disturbed.

On the beach, the Captain tells the fishermen they can all go, there are no charges against them. He regretfully has to arrest Juan and tells him he is only following orders. He knows Juan is valiant and honorable and he will be there for Juan in his trial.
