TUESDAY ON TIMELESS LOVE - EPISODE 76

Alfo/Kari and the waterworks at full flow:
Kari: We were friends...
Alfo: I thought Alvaro would give me the queen lifestyle I wanted and that I did not have with Ezeq... (boy woman, you don't need anything short of a real beating and shooting you to a small island with no food or comforts)... No I realize Ezeq had me in a palace full of love, all golden.
Kari: Did you really think I lived in a palace? (Alfo nods yes) .. Things are not as they seem, Alfo... I would have been HAPPY to switch lives with you... you changed the love of a husband who respects you, loves you and cares for you... for a man like Alvaro who only cares about himself... And not only that, but you betrayed our friendship, and it hurts bad.
Alfo keeps apologizing but Kari is too hurt to listen... Lazaro was listening from across the room, though...
Laz: Kari, maybe what Alfo did was to take the blindfold off your eyes...
Kari: Yes, but she betrayed a friend... and it hurts real bad. ( good for you Kari... the least they can give you is some time to digest all that)
Kari and Laz leave a very upset Alfo..

Rob and Matt are walking together, seems around the garden of MR manor. Matt says you should do that DNA test since the dates are near each other and that baby could be mine too... Rob is upset (with her best buzzer voice... boy that woman has a really annoying voice.) Rob says a woman knows when she gets pregnant... And even though Nata told Jero I would do the DNA test, I won't do it! Matt asks, and what if I ask you? Jero seemed very sure he is not your baby daddy, and so I also want to make sure that baby is not mine.

Adri and Nata:
Adri: Sorry i don't mean to be on Jero's side but I could not deny helping him. Even if you get divorced, learning the truth will help you out in the long run. He swore to me that he never slept with Berta. Something in me believes him.
Nata: Yeah I am also blown away at his certainty of not being the daddy. But so what? It's not just Rob's baby, but he lied to me! he broke my heart! He took revenge on me for something I did not do!
Adri: I know how you feel, I am not defending him but I put myself in his shoes... I would probably do the same as him.
Nata: Oh that's great that you are not on his side! (what would you say if you were??)
Adri: Just think about it for a second... Put yourself in his shoes!! What if the one relative you had left that loved you in this world killed themselves for the betrayal of someone? What would have you done? Would you sit there with your arms crossed or would you have gone out to find out the truth, no matter who fell?
Nata: I don't know!
Adri: I bet you would have done same as him! I know you! You would never have let an injustice go unnoticed.The problem is that Jero got bad leads. He went after Rob, then you came and he got confused!
Nata: Well, how easy... so he says 'well, I was confused, I was wrong, forgive me!.. that easy, no? ITs not so easy, Adri!
Adri: Yeah but you lied to him too about your name! You told him you had a boyfriend right at the place Rafa agreed to meet you at! So the confusion makes sense.
Nata: You are trying to make me feel bad for Jero. But no. He fixed his issue, I have not!
Adri: NO, you are wrong! He has not either. He has been trying to prove it was Rob, but has not been able to even with the necklace, the letter and the heart. And on top of that he fell in love with you like a stupid and now he does not have you.

Fina is talking to herself cursing Connie, she is very upset about Connie trying to talk to Gonzo and Nata in favor of Jero.
Fina's cell rings, the Licenciado calls her to let her know Gina has arrived back in Mex... He tells her about seeing her and Antonio at the airport... She gets even more upset that with Gina nearby, her nightmare is back on! ... he reminds her of their soon to come eloping... she gives him the typical ' (don't call me, ) i will call you'

Cantu is meeting with Gustavo the old governor boyfriend of Pepa's... Cantu is quick to bring Pepa's situation with Gonzo and asks what he knows about her... Gustav says Pepa and him did not break up exactly in good terms, and that she always liked the good life, living like a queen, and to belong to high society. Cantu asks him why she stayed here so long. Gustav says she was counting on my protection. Once I stopped being governor, and she had not heard of the father of her kids, she felt comfortable enough to go to MC. Cantu asks Gustav if he would be interested in providing him more info about Pepa.

At Gina's house, she is angry that Antonio keeps trying to rule her life. 'I don't want to keep on living at your rhythm, Gonzo's or Cantu's. I want to live my life! If you want a woman who will do as you say without questioning anything or saying her peace, you probably are with the wrong woman!' Cata and Antonio are concerned that something is bothering or anguishing Gina.

At Misery Manor, Gonzo gives Nata a support speech... he wants Nata to share with him her feelings, he wants Nata to stay a few days and give him a chance to help her... Antonio calls Gonzo to let him know Gina is in town. Gonzo will reactivate her security guards asap...
When Gonzo hangs up and tells Nata Gina is back in town, Nata is very bitter responding saying she wants Gina far from her and her life. Nata tells Gonzo that Gina knew why Jero married her. Gina is not a good person and i want her far away from me.

Berta is having a tantrum demanding that Fina give her a solution to the nightmare of having Matt and Jero on her tail about the DNA test.

Hono and Adri at her house... Hono does not want Blanca to find them.. Adri brings him to earth saying Blanca knows our phone number and our address, and even our routine. Hono is mad that he hired and even got along with that psychopath... Adri says she is beginning to believe the story that Blanca drugged him to get him in bed with her. Hono says that's the only way he could have done that. He absolutely loves COnnie, Adri points out that Blanca could go after Connie. Hono says that is true, need to find her but can't get her to answer her phone or be willing to talk to me. I am praying BLanca will not go after her.

Connie and Chema arrive at her house from having a good time at a karaoke bar... She remembers she was going to try to talk to Nata, but it is too late now, tomorrow she will. Chema tries to invite himself to spend the night, but she turns him down... He says 'you are driving me crazy!' but in a good mood and leaves. She watches him leave, and is smiling, not that uncomfortable looking at all.

At La Bonita, the happy couple are very smoochy and clingy, Mati finally sees 'el hermoso' as a sweet dream but Carlos is her sweet reality... Lazaro congratulates the couple... he wonders if it will work, they come from such different worlds, Carlos assures him his only intention is to make her happy. The idiot Mati brings back her 'curse' but Carlos keeps taking it as a joke and says she is blessed for all she makes him feel... Carlos asks Lazaro permission to take Mati somewhere... Lazaro says she is old enough. Carlos wants to do things right. Lazaro who is still in a sad mood, says you have to go after your happiness... because sorrows arrive on their own. When the happy couple leave, Manuela tells Lazaro he should do the same, to find his own happiness...

Fina is in her bedroom, gets a call, it is Gustavo her old boyfriend, seems he wants to meet her about Cantu and all the questions he was asking. Fina gets really nervous... (there must be something Gustavo has on her that is really important, i wonder if Gustavo knows the name of Roberto and/or that Nata is not her child) She yells at him not to call her again... he says never, even less when i tell you about an investigator that was asking about you and your daughters. Roberta comes in whining asking for the promised 'solution'. Once Fina yells at Rob to get out and Rob leaves in a huff, Fina tells Gustavo they have to meet and don't you dare talk to anyone before we talk.

Upstairs Rob and Nata are struggling in front of the stairs... Nata says even if I have to drag you i will make you take that DNA test, the only thing Rob is making me feel with her reluctance is that Jero is saying the truth and the child is not his. Rob pulls herself off yelling to Nata to let go of her... Humpty Dumpty had a great fall bouncy-bouncy tumbling down the steps belly down (of course! how else could it be?), all of a sudden all cameras malfunction and everything is in slow slo-mo... have to say it was all completely planed by Roberta who can think on her toes faster than her mom... she took one look at the stairs and came up with the idea all on her own... i am impressed!) Nata yells for mama, papa! (really, Nata? you could not call for Gonzo or Matias first?) Rob is yelling at Nata already not to touch her ... (come on! how many times Nata has to go through the torture of being blamed for everything by Rob and Fina for her to want to get out of that situation?? why does she keep coming back, masochist syndrome for sure!)
First to jump on scene is Fina, and Rob of course yells at her mom that Nata pushed her...
Fina: What happened??
Nata: She fell down the stairs!...
(REALLY??? I thought she was practicing her gymnastics and had tried to do a triple somersault dismount from the top step to see if she could land with feet planted on the first floor!
Ok, Nata I want you to start beating both of them to a pulp with one of those white giant bowling balls at the foot of the stairs... that is if you can lift them)
Fina: (the very predictable line, to Nata) How could you!!
In comes Gonzo almost diving right into Berta's belly! sorry, could not help it... DUMB number one... and the ever original first question 'what happened??'
In comes Matias who asks the same originality award winning question and then proceeds to grab Berta and take her in his arms.. (hey, dear tantrum boy... first lesson in first aid... you DON"T PICK UP someone who just tumbled down the stairs complaining of pain... there could be neck injury, head injury or spinal injury which you might have just made even more serious...) Now it is just pure pandemonium... Fina yelling curses and accusations at Nata, Berta complaining of it hurting, Nata trying to tell Gonzo I swear to you I did not do it!, Matt trying to pick up Berta and Gonzo trying to be totally useless... yelling 'Don't argue please!!' in a louder voice than them... Matt yells at Gonzo to get the door (Gonzo was too worried about stopping the argument than helping Berta... UN-BELIEVABLE!
Berta: Mom!, my baby, mom!!
Nata: Berta! Lets go with her, mom!!
Fina replays the scene we saw with the young girls where she pulls Nata by the hair... UN-BELIEVABLE!! 'Where are you going??'
(The voice of fear in Nata's voice looking at her mom when Fina has her grabbed by the hair with a mad dog face is priceless!!)
Nata: I will go with my sister, mom, please!!
Fina: You should have thought about it before pushing her down the staircase!
Nata: I did not push her!! We were arguing and she lost her balance and fell!... I swear it, mom, please!
Fina: I believe anything about you! You are capable of anything to destroy your sister's happiness!
Nata: No, mom, truly!
Fina: That is why you came back from the hacienda, no? To destroy her life! That is why you came to Mex City!
Nata: I only wanted to find the truth! To find justice! I did nothing wrong! I did not push her down!
Fina: Yeah I can see the justice you found! I don't want you near your sister! hear? I don't want you near her!
Nata: Mom..!... No!... I did not do anything to her, mom!! (she sits down in the stairs alone devastated...)

The pandemonium continues in the car... Fina calls the gynecologist to meet them in the hospital, already is asking her to be 'discreet' about the abortion... until they get a chance to talk... I am impressed with the way Fina can use all kinds of nastiness with Nata and a second later play the victim's voice on the cell phone to the Doctora...

Jero runs into Augie in hotel lobby... Augie is very sure Jero closed all his possibilities with Nata. Jero is sure Nata loves him and will never notice Augie... Augie brags that Nata used his shoulder to cry on... Jero says that is what you are for Nata, a shoulder to cry on, but her love is for me... Augie brags don't you see that I get what I want alway? I have your grapes, and will have your hacienda and Nata to live with in it as my woman!! (Jero is about to hit him) That is what gets you in trouble, you are too impulsivo... in love and business you have to have a cool head... Jero keeps saying you don' have Nata because she is too smart. Augie keeps arguing Jero was not able to make Nata happy, he will. Jero swears Nata is his and will never be Augies... Augie: We will see...

Hono finds Connie at Gina's center... Connie is surprised he is there.. .he was looking for her at her house, she tells him about the karaoke... With Chema? Yup, i had not had so much fun in a long time... Hono warns her about Blanca being a psychopath and can hurt you... Connie says ironically she already did... Hono is truly concerned about Connie's well being ... Connie says i am not a hurdle for her anymore... Hono says wrong! You will always be, because you have my love always... Connie says don't tell her so she won't harm me... Chema makes an opportune showing to break up the scene... Chema puts his hand on her shoulder which ignites a silent jealous rage in Hono... Connie is visibly uncomfortable but won't give in so she asks Hono 'need anything else'? No (he makes his exit, smoking red faced)

Another sweet scene with Carlos and Mati to break up all the tension... Carlos arranges for her to be ready in 3 hrs, he has some special plan for her. She will put a pretty dress Kari made for her a while back and she has not worn yet... Carlos can't wait in anticipation.

Nata in her bed, Augie calls but she does not want to meet him right now... Once he hangs up, door knocks at Augie's hotel room... its Selene... pushing herself up his sleeve... he is not really fighting it too hard... there is a call on his cell, but he won't answer, he wants to play with Sele instead...

Areli is saying her goodbyes... Lazaro tells her Augie is in MC... She says she wants to see Augie, but only to tell him something that is on her mind and then never see him again... Lazaro says I hope you will be able to... Areli says Augie is someone who just wants to control everyone else, to own everyone.. and when you fall in his trap it is hard to get out. but thanks to you I am able to.. With you I realized what caring folks can behave like... you helped me care about myself, value myself... Don't know why we always have to fall for who we should not... Maybe if you and I... (Lazaro turns her down again, but softly... the right man will arrive for you, when you expect it the least... ) They embrace for the goodbye, and this embrace is witnessed by Kari and Manuela... Kari is devastated.
ON their way back to the kitchen, Manuela consoles Kari, who thinks she lost everything... Manuela has a hard time believing the Doctorcito was so evil... Kari says it hurts bad about Alfo's betrayal and Lazaro's distancing himself from her... Manuela can understand Alfo, sometimes you don't consider the consequences of what you do... but about Lazaro... there is only one woman for him... you... but he is hurt... it will not be easy to win him back, but it all depends on you and your love for him...

At the fields, Carlos in on his cell phone making the arrangements for whatever surprise he has in mind for Mati. He is happy to hear it will all work out.

At hospital Jero is still waiting for Nata, Rob and Matt to show up, so he calls Nata's cell... Nata is not happy but answers his call. She tells him what happened. SHe swears to him she did not push Berta even though Berta says she did. Jero doesn't even care about that, he wants her to wait, he is heading there right now.
Nata then calls Gonzo at hospital to find out how the baby is. Gonzo tells her they have not said anything yet... She keeps insisting she did not push Berta. Gonzo says there will be time to talk about that. Just praying everything will be alright. Then Gonzo notices that Matt is devastated in a chair, neither Matt nor Gonzo believe Nata pushed Berta. Gonzo does not understand why Berta would say that, Matt say because Fina never helped them build a healthy sibling relationship...

At the office Adri lets Daniel review the financial reports... He immediately texts Blanca that he has the financial report... (are they planning on doctoring it to trick Hono and Gonzo?)
Adri goes to talk to Hono... she notices his anguish... he says he saw Connie with Chema and felt very angry... he doesn't know what he will do with this feeling... Adri says it shows you still love her... Hono says never question that, I love her with all my heart. Adri say then put aside your pride and go after her... Hono is shocked that his own daughter would give him relationship advise.

Connie is doing same with Chema in her own kitchen... he is trying to cheer her up... Connie is avoiding him and says she wants to go see Gina who is back in MC... Chema confronts her saying she is avoiding him... She says she still is trying to figure how to manage this situation... a month ago i did not even know I would be going through this... Chema says a month ago my mom was alive... did not say it to make her feel bad... on the contrary, live each day the way you want, in case you don't have a chance to tomorrow... don't concentrate in our differences, rather focus in our coincidences.

Jero arrives at MR manor...
Nata: I swear to you i never wanted to harm your baby or Berta.. I swear it...
Jero: Easy, easy... I believe you. (approaches her slowly showing lots of support...)
Nata: you really believe me?
Jero: Really.
Nata: ITs just that I wanted to go to the hospital but my mom did not let me... (wait, girl, you sound like a 8 year old punished for hurting her younger sibling ... I have to say SN saves this ridiculous line... She is the only one that can act through that ridiculous moment and make it somewhat believable)
Jero: ANd you are going to let your mother ban you from doing something you want to do?
Nata: She can't ban me from going to the hospital, right?
Jero: (nods no) Neither can she ban me...
Nata: We go?
Jero: Lets go.

At Ensenada town bar, Alvaro is half-drunk and comes in demanding drinks... the owner of the place comes to confront him calling him Alvaro (to which Alvaro takes offense, to this man and anyone in town he is DR ALVARO NESME!!) telling him that in his bar or anywhere in town, noone wants to hear from him... A man who loses himself in alcohol during a tragedy where his responsibility is saving lives and abuses of the wife of another man is an a___!!
Alvaro tries to pull rank, denies he abused her, and claims she gave herself to him, not once but many times... he says they will need his services, they say they would rather die than go to him. He gets kicked out of the place... not before the guy also calls him a murderer, accuses him that Rafa died in his hands because he was drunk the day he tried to treat him... Alvaro explodes and grabs him by the shirt... then he gets yelled at to leave by everyone in the place...
(seems Alvaro did not count on news moving fast around town... everyone knows about him being drunk with Rafa and also about him abusing Kari and Alfo... totally lost the respect of anyone in town... beginning with priest... this man better take a hike... far far away .. ON THE DOUBLE!!... )

Manuela finds Mati trying on her dress... she looks very pretty in a shorter white cotton dress... and a very happy face... which Manuela says when you are this happy you look even lovelier... Manuela says Carlos will go crazy when he sees her.

Fina in Berta's room in hospital, she seems to be in mood to celebrate rather than anguished...
Fina: You really surprised me now.
Berta: You did not pay attention to me (no me pelaste), you kicked me out of your room and I could not let Renata or Jero find out that I am not going to have Jero's baby, Matias' or anyone else's!
Fina: I noticed... but you got hurt... (in celebrating mode)
Berta: Yes, it hurts, but it was better than being discovered.
Doctora comes in...
Doctora: I told you it was wrong to take her out of the hospital.
Fina: But she is not here becuase of that... but because she fell down the stairs...So don't reprimend me, ok? (LOL!) I know you don't think I am a good mother, but I am truly! (wow! what a model mother!! give her the mother of the year award!!)
Doc: With the fall the earlier wound re-opened. so she will really have to stay a day or two for observation.
Rob: I don't want to stay!
Doc: If you don't your life will be at stake...
Fina: Alright, Doctora, it will be as you say... I only want to ask you a favor.. Could you tell my husband and his son that my daughter lost the baby today? ANd that it was the fall that provoked it?
Doc: (in disbelief) Do you realize what you are asking me?
Fina: The baby is gone already, no? Who cares if it was a few days ago or this morning?
Doc: I don't play your games, Ma'am!
Fina: Doctora, believe me that if it was not my daughter's emotional well being at stake in it, I would never ask you for it.

At La Bonita, Carlos is floored... Mati say I look horrible, right? OF course not! I am speechless!
He puts a blindfold on her to take her to 'a magical place that I prepared for you'... they take off...

Fina walks the doctora out to meet Gonzo and Matt... Gonzo asks the Doctora for Berta... Doctora say Berta is fine. Gonzo asks what about the baby? Fina jumps in and says the baby is gone. Berta lost it... Doctora gets a cell phone call and has to walk away...
Fina tells Gonzo it is even worse... Rob is sterile! (right on cue Nata arrives to hear the end of that)
Nata: What did you say, mom?
Fina: That you are the only one to blame for your sister Rob will NEVER... hear it well, ... NEVER have a baby.. you destroyed her life... and I hope you are happy now... (Nata is frozen,Jero is shocked... Gonzo has a warzone face.. Matt has a questioning glance for Fina...)

Previews: Voice over says everyone believed Roberta's lies... EXCEPT JERONIMO!..
Nata: What are you saying? that Rob threw herself down the steps?
Jero: Yes, that's what I am saying.
Voiceover: Jero is determine to prove his innocence to Nata, and to unmask Roberta!
Jero to Doctora: I am JL.. I need to talk to you. Can you give me five minutes please? ...(we see Jero put on a very taken aback face at something the Doctora tells him.. not sure if she tells him the lies or the truth...)

TUESDAY ON COLOR OF PASSION EPISODE 64

LIKE TO APPRECIATE, COMMENT AND SHARE

The Old:
-Nora freaks out when Rebeca threatens to take her with her on a long trip away from Puebla and Marcelo Escalante. She grabs a letter opener, starts wildly stabbing a chair and ends up cutting Rebeca in her crazed state. She takes her freakout to her room, as Alonso bangs on her door and begs her to open up, and Lucia tries to get him to calm down so that he doesn’t collapse from a heart attack. Just another night in Casa Gaxiola.
-The next morning, while breakfasting on coffee, fruit and bitterness, the Zúñiga family is interrupted by the cops, who’ve come to arrest one of the male members of the household for the murder of (their shared lover) Ligia Cervantes. Rod, not the deserving Amador, is cuffed and dragged away. Just another morning in Casa Zúñiga.

The New:
Brigida orders Amador to do something, but all he does is promise his scared son that he’ll get the best lawyer and get him out. He urges Rod not to say ANYTHING, then gets into a screaming and shoving match with the detectives. Brigida demands to know what’s going on and why they’ve accused Rod. Amador swears he knows nothing. “Listen to me, Amador. If I find out that you could have done something to prevent them from taking my son away, I’ll KILL you!” Amador tries to calm her down with promises of getting the BEST lawyer, before running out the door to his car, at the same time trying to figure out just who he can call. He passes on calling Ricardo, saying to himself that he can’t (call the guy who will surely realize Amador is the killer and use it against him).

Over in Casa Gaxiola, Lucia hands Tere the letter from Lalo. She’s super confused about who Lalo is, and why he’d write to her. She reads the letter—“Teresita, ever since I met you, I haven’t been able to stop thinking about you. Will you accept going on a date with me this Sunday?”

Lucia finds a very pensive Alonso having coffee in the garden. He didn’t sleep well, and was never able to find out what caused Nora’s freakout from Rebeca. He doesn’t think the therapy is working for Nora. Lucia reveals to him that the therapy isn’t working because Nora’s stopped going. Al wants to know why Lucia didn’t inform him, but she points out that if Nora doesn’t want to go, then no one can force her or help her. “But we have to do something!” Lucia knows, but is at a loss for ideas. She heads off to the fabrica to pick up info she needs to work on the marketing, and to get more blood donors signed up. She warns Al that now would not be the best time for Nora to find out about her and Marcelo getting hitched. Al agrees.

At the hospital, Marcelo’s surgeon comes in to tout the wonders of youth and good health. Marcelo can go home right now. He just needs to make sure he takes it easy at home for at least 5 days, and come back in 8 days to get his stitches (puntadas) removed. While Mili goes to pay, Marcelo and Rafaela confab. Rafa will get word to Lucia to go straight to Marcelo’s apartment. She warns him that he can’t keep the engagement a secret from Mili forever. He gives her the bad news that Mili’s coming to stay with them a few days. Her being his mother and all, he couldn’t refuse.

Amador desperately rattles the locked doors of Mario’s law firm, in search of a lawyer. The street cleaner tells him they’ve all gone to Ligia’s funeral in the Civil Cemetery.

Al gets the keys from Tere and goes into Nora’s room. He finds her sleeping peacefully, and breathes a sigh of relief as he strokes her arm. When he leaves the room, we see that she’s wide awake. Al next stops is Rebeca’s bedroom to try once again to find out what set Nora off. Rebeca claims it was a silly little argument—nothing really. She’s feeling sorry for herself and whining about how she’s “lost” Nora, the most important person in her life. Al says they’ll figure it out together, no matter whether or not their marriage has gone down the crapper. He suggests that Rebeca get her cut checked out by a doctor, since it looks inflamed. She snippily says she’ll drive herself to the hospital, and it won’t be Sara she sees.

At the cemetery, Padre Samuel wraps up the funeral service. Mario introduces himself to Daniela and gives her his condolences and his card, in case she needs anything. She thanks him graciously and leaves. Magda wonders to Mario why Daniela’s name sounds so familiar…Leti’s also curious about Ligia’s cousin, who seems so different from Ligia. Sergio explains the police found Dani’s contact info in a note she left for Ligia. Just then, they spot Amador running up to Mario. They listen in as Amador begs Mario to represent Rod. Mario turns him down, because it would be a conflict of interest with their Zúñiga vs Gaxiola case. He wonders why he doesn’t ask Ricardo for help. Mario and Magda leave, and Sergio offers his lawyer services to help his friend. He runs off with Amador, and leaves his car with an open-mouthed Leti.

Lucia consults with Nazario on the list of workers who’ve agreed to donate blood, and is about to run off to the hospital when Normita stops her with the good news of Marcelo’s return home. Normita, hussy that she is, shamelessly flirts with Naz. He runs away quickly. Lucia runs into Lalo on the way out, and tells him the letter was delivered, but his fair lady gave her no message in return. Said fair lady, brings Nora breakfast and leaves before she is subjected to one of Nora’s tantrums. Nora’s clearly upset to hear that her mother is not home and left a while ago (without saying goodbye to her).

Rebeca is busy at the hospital, getting her hand treated, and running into Marcelo as he’s wheeled out by Rafa. At first, she makes a half-hearted attempt at fake politeness. Then, when Marcelo tells her Rafa knows all, she lets her true face show. “It’s a shame you didn’t die!” She once again tells him to leave Puebla and Lucia, for good. Marcelo’s heard it all before and is bored. When she threatens to tell Al all, he tells her that nothing would make him happier. This little snipe-fest comes to an end when Mili comes down the hallway. Mili and Rebeca compete to see who has the best resting bitch face. Mili wins and Rebeca slinks away. Mili’s headed home to rest and get some clothes—then she’ll meet up with them at Marcelo’s.

Magda and Mario stroll towards his office, wondering if Rod could have really killed Ligia. Magda decides to wait for him in the square while he runs into his office to get some documents. That’s where Ric finds her on his way to see Mario about Zúñiga vs Gaxiola. She tells him to go on his way, because Mario hasn’t had any time to even look at the offer yet. She knows he’s just looking for an excuse to see Leti. Ric tries to defend himself. He never even knew Sara was pregnant. Well, the fact that he was two-timing Sara with her, and then dumped her on their wedding day for god knows what reason, is plenty of reason for him to be persona non grata around these parts! Ric is tired of being the only bad guy in this story. “I’m not the monster that you think!” Ric thinks it’s time for her to know the truth about what happened, even if she doesn’t want to. “It’s time you knew, that the only one at fault is your sister. For Rebeca…for her, I dumped you.” Magda’s listening now. Ric spills the whole sordid truth about how Rebeca seduced him, and promised to run off with him, and he fell into her trap because he always had a thing for her and he was stupid. By the time he realized that the only thing she cared about was preventing him from marrying Madga, it was too late. Magda weakly says she doesn’t believe him, as a tear rolls down her cheek, but she clearly does believe that her sister betrayed her in the worst way.

Said sister is in the midst of destroying her daughter’s life, as she tries to make Nora feel guilty about the freakout Rebeca provoked. She tries to manipulate Nora by saying that it’s clear to her that Nora hates her and she won’t forgive Nora this time. “I’ve reached my limit with you.” Nora looks like a wounded little 5-year-old, and with tears in her eyes she tells her mother that she doesn’t need her forgiveness and regrets nothing! But clearly, she does.

Mario comes back to the square and finds Ric instead of Magda. Ric smugly tells Mario that Magda left on a personal family matter, and rubs it in that he and Magda share a history, where Mario doesn’t even exist. Mario’s ready to break his face if he doesn’t get the hell out of here. Ric points out that they have business to take care of, but Mario inform him he’s been too busy dealing with his secretary’s murder. And oh, by the way, the son of your buddy, Amador was arrested for the crime and probably needs you!

Both Amador and Sergio try to pretend that they have faith in Sergio’s lawyering skills, as they question the detectives about why Rod was arrested. They learn Daniela’s testimony about seeing Rod with Ligia that night is what got him thrown in the pokey. Amador gets to go in to see Rod for 10 minutes. Through the bars, he tries to calm his son down, but also fishes for info on how Rod started up his fling with Ligia. Rod explains that it was a rebound after the Lucia/botched wedding debacle. Amador informs Rod that it was Dani’s testimony that put him there, then he helps Rod craft an alibi. When he talks to the cops, Rod must tell the cops that he left right after Dani left, around 8:30 pm, and went straight home. Amador will make sure that Brigida backs up his story.

Mili finds depressed Dani back in their apartment. She barely bats an eye when she hears Dani’s cousin was murdered and Lucia’s ex is the primary suspect. She couldn’t care less. (Me va y me viene.) She shares her bit of gossip about Marcelo getting stabbed and he and Lucia getting back together. Is Dani going to run away again, or is she going to stay and fight?

Marcelo and Rafa return to his place, and Lucia’s already there with a dozen red roses for her man. He says a kiss would have been enough, then tries to get a makeout session started. Lucia puts a stop to that, since he’s not well enough, but Marcelo wants to get as many kisses as possible in, before his mother shows up. Lucia points out the obvious, that Mili can’t stand her. Marcelo says she can’t stand him either, and he’s her son! Speaking of his mother…she told him that she saw Lucia speaking to a man in the hospital (the hussy!). And it’s not that he’s a possessive jealous jerk, but he just doesn’t want to get the wrong idea…Lucia tells him about Dr. Andrade, Nora’s psychiatrist, then tells him about Nora’s major freakout the night before.

Hottie Dr. Andrade is meeting with Alonso to discuss that freakout. He’s glad Al called him. Al is desperate. Sometimes it seems that Nora is losing her mind, and he doesn’t know how to help her. Roman reminds Al that if Nora doesn’t want help, no one can help her. Al asks Roman to make a house call, and perhaps that would help convince her. Al points out that Nora doesn’t trust him or Lucia, and lately has even stopped trusting her mother. “Can I be frank? In the short time that I’ve been treating Nora, I’ve been able to perceive that her problems are not just her jealousy of her sister, but part of her instability comes from the relationship she has with her mother. In order to help Nora, we also have to treat her mother.” Al is sure Rebeca would agree to it, since Nora is the most important person to her.

Magda enters her sister’s room, and without a word, delivers a LONG overdue slapdown. WOP! Magda’s right had becomes acquainted with Rebeca’s left cheek. WOP! Left hand, meet right cheek! Right hand and left cheek are about to renew their acquaintance, when Rebeca manages to deflect Magda’s palms of fury. Magda reveals that Ric spilled the beans. Rebeca claims it's all LIES. “What would I gain by doing that?!” Magda knows that her sister did it for the simple pleasure of destroying her life and seeing her unhappy. She doesn’t even let the beyotch touch her. “We are NOTHING to each other! YOU are nothing! You are a piece of crap! The devil herself! And I swear, Rebeca, one day you will pay dearly for all you’ve done!” Magda marches out, with Rebeca screaming after her that it’s all lies, and she best not spread it to Al. Nora comes out wondering what all the yelling is about.

Lucia makes Marcelo the Gaxiola recovery meal—a sandwich. Her sammy-making skills look on point—Nora should take lessons…On second thought, we don’t want to give her yet another reason to hate Lucia. Anyway, Lucia shares her fears with Marcelo. She thinks that someone targeted him and it wasn’t just a robbery. Marcelo is a bit too cavalier about the whole thing, and thinks that Rebeca is the only one who would want to see him out of the way. Lucia points out that he’s also been a thorn in the side of Amador, who also has plenty of motive to hurt him. She’s worried that someone will come after him again. “What, do you think they’ll try to finish me off (rematarme)?” Lucia doesn’t even want to hear him say it out loud. Marcelo baits an anvil and assures her he won’t let anyone get in the way of their happiness.

Ric has gone to Casa Zúñiga and gets more details on the murder case from a hysterical and confused Brigida. She usefully supplies Ric with enough info for him to realize that Amador asked him to provide an alibi for the same night and time as the murder of Mario’s secretary. He assures her he’ll help get Rod out, but neither of them know where Amador is and why he’s not answering their calls. Ric starts to leave for the police station, but Brigida wants to know something first. Was Amador really with him last Wednesday night (murder night)? Ric remembers Amador asking him to lie for him, then he tells Brigida that she has no reason to doubt her husband’s word.

At the police station, Sergio explains that Rod will be held in the local jail for 72 hours, while the police gather more evidence and try to make the case against him. If they gather enough evidence, then Rod will be charged and transferred to prison. If they don’t, then they’ll have to set him free. This isn’t good enough for Amador. Just because he was in the apartment that night, shouldn’t be enough to jail him. Sergio points out that he was the last to see her alive. All of a sudden, Amador has new info. Rod left right after the cousin and went right home. Sergio isn’t quite buying this, especially because Rod lied to him that the last time he saw Ligia was weeks ago. He’s not accusing Rod—he’s his friend, and he wants to help and will fight for Rod. And if charges are brought against him, Sergio will personally find the best defense lawyer in the state to represent Rod. Amador can’t even think about that. “That’s not going to happen. We’re going to do everything we can to get him out of here before the 72 hours is up.”

Leti is blowing up the Casa Gaxiola phone trying to locate Lucia to pass on the hot gossip. She leaves a message with Tere. Luckily, Sara gets home and she gets to share all the lurid details about Rod getting thrown in the pokey for murdering Mario’s secretary. Sara doesn’t really think it will affect Lucia too much, since she’s so gaga for Marcelo, who was released from the hospital. Leti now has a good idea about where Lucia is.

Lucia is trying to force Marcelo to go take a nap in his bedroom, but it seems like he’d be more interested in doing other things, as he flirts with Lucia. Is she sure she still wants to marry him? She says she does, but she has a series of conditions. 1- Their wedding has to be very simple. Agreed. 2- They have to wait until after her Tia Magdalena gets married. Marcelo agrees, with some protest. 3- Lucia wants their first daughter to be named, Adriana, like her mother. Agreed. 4- The most important—Lucia wants them to get the hell out of Puebla right after they get married, and put as much distance between them and her Tia Rebeca and her sister as possible.

Marcelo pushes back. He’s made a commitment to her father (to work at the fabrica). Lucia is sure Al will understand. Neither Marcelo nor Lucia notice that Mili and Dani have entered the apartment, as Marcelo insists that he HAS to speak to Al and tell him everything—the reason why he came to Puebla, to search for the woman responsible for his brother committing suicide, and that he committed many mistakes in doing so. Mili marches right into the bedroom and interrupts. Now she knows the reason why he came to this backwards hellhole. She demands to know the woman’s name! She has a right to know! Marcelo and Lucia stare at her in shocked silence. Mili turns her bitch rays towards Lucia, and grabs her shoulder in a death grip. “It’s obvious that you also know who killed my son. Tell me, who killed my son! TELL ME!”
