Last night we were impressed that Doc Tatarrific tells Jero he should go to the DF. She senses he has doubts and the only way to dispel doubts is to confront the situation. He says she is a unique woman, she’s marvelous.
Chema thanks Adri for meeting him, is it because she feels something for him? Don’t deny it, he says, there is something between them. She says she loves Matias and Chema had something going with her daddy’s wife, so it’s all a bit weird. “Didn’t my kiss provoke (induce) anything?” he asks. All he knows is that he likes her. So much so he provokes her with another kiss. She eventually pulls away saying she’s not sure about Matias or Chema, and so she hobbles away.
Over at EM, Hit-N-Run Spare Girl pays a visit to ias. She gushes that she’s happy Adri is doing better and she whips out a couple of cheap trinkets as a testimony of her relentless and omnipresent regret. She mentions, again, how thankful she is for his friendship. She’s gotta run and gives him a cheek peck, pausing mid beso just long enough to intrigue him. Sap.
Cool. Hons and Cons are drinking champagne and nuzzling. She’ s not wearing a pink suit, but rather a single-sleeved black number. It’s gonna be a special night; he suggests a second honeymoon and she tells him she’ll love him until the end of the world. The one he’s gonna rock tonight.
Adri arrives home to find Nata crashed out on the bed. She gently covers her friend.
Heh, Roberta’s lit up at La Mentira, griping to the bartender that her mom is revolting. (Es un ASSSCOOO. I had to do a double take, it sounded like A**Hole.) “All this time my life has been a huge lie. Give me another drink.” More slurring about Monster Mom and whiny demands for more booze. Her phone rings and she tells it she HATES her mom.
Malafina (who has been trying to call Berta) yells at the maid for not knowing Berta’s whereabouts. She mutters she doesn’t know what she’s going to do with Berta.
Grumpías arrives at Coni’s and Adri tells him Nata is in the bedroom sound asleep. He gives her the trinkets and she’s happy, thinking they are from him. He rudely tells her they are from Hit-N-Run, here is her telephone number, call her, good-night. Jerk.
Next morning Coni finds a cheerful note from Nata that she’s off to do some things, thanks for letting her stay, and she’ll see her later that day.
Nata and Gonzo have an affectionate and happy reunion. They have so many things to tell each other. He starts right in with the news that he is going to marry Regina. Nata frowns but sees he is happy, so she is happy too. He tells her now it’s her turn. She has a favor to ask him...
As much as Gonzo and Nata are happy, Fina and Berta are bitchy. Breakfast is on the table and Fina comments that Berta doesn’t seem to have an appetite. “I just lost it,” grumbles the hell-spawn. I don’t blame her, the food looks like white glop. They gripe at each other. Fina: You’re a thankless wretch. Berta: You only used me as a pretext for your own ambition. Fina: Fine, then take care of your own future, economical and emotional, because if you want nothing from me then that’s what you’ll get.
As much as Fina and Berta are cold and rude, Adri and Cons are pleasant and loving. Adri is thrilled that Cons and Hons are back together. Mopías strolls through long enough to kiss Cons and snub Adri. Yes little man, we see you are trying hard to make your point. Adri denies to Cons that something is wrong between them. Adri limped with her cane last night but this morning she is in very high spike heels. It’s a miracle!!
Hons meets with the bank manager Luciana to thank her personally for the bank’s support during his rough patch. She gets a call and has to step out for a moment. Hons peeks at her laptop and sees a folder titled “Jeronimo Linares” just as Luciana loudly exclaims “See you later Jeronimo.” Que??? He asks does Jeronimo Linares bank there? Claro, he’s one of their most important clients.
Berta’s in bed nursing her hangover when Daddy calls. He wants to see her right away. He’s sorry that she doesn’t feel well he wants to see her NOW! “For what?” she thought-bubbles as she rubs her aching temples.
Ezequiel, the servant that satisfies, strolls amongst the vines in deep thought. He recalls last night in split screen. On the left he’s about to get horizontal with the house-guest. On the right Augi is warning him against biting the hand that feeds him; he remembers what happened to Alvaro, doesn’t he? Ez hisses at himself for being an incredible dumba**, then whines a bit about Alfonsina, then wonders about Berta’s particular interest in the vine cuttings. She had asked him how could a vine cutting be so valuable, one that is worth gold? She heard Augi threaten someone because he replied “with your life if anything happens to it”. Ez wonders, could it be true what the señorita said, that the patrón has a valuable cutting? Because that would be very odd.
Ines and Isidro are having a tense breakfast. He says he’s glad they are alone so that they can talk calmly, but then he immediately jumps down Inez’s throat because he wants her answer about Guadalajara. How calm of him. She doesn’t have an answer yet and he gets all bent out of shape, saying her silence pains him. Dude, do you have a brain tumor or something? What happened to Mexico’s perfect couple of yesterday? Maybe he’s going through manopause.
I didn’t understand this next conversation and I probably got it wrong: Ezek approaches Augi with something on his mind. He’s been thinking they should reserve some cuttings in case they get hit by the plague. Augi tells Zeke that he knows better than anyone that the only cuttings worth a fortune are the ones from La Bonita. They are the only ones worth preserving. Ez says somehthing and Augi tells Zeke he has very tiny mind.
Carlos and Mati visit El Padre to ask him to marry them.
Laz joins Kari on the beautiful patio that overlooks the wine country. He starts to get a little romantic until she shuts him down by reminding him she is still in mourning. This guy is a saint. He says he understands tradition, however he can’t help dreaming of her. Chica, are you human? I would be so all over that bad boy’s bones right now. In fact I need to get a glass of ice water just to cool myself off a little.
Speaking of ice water, Sulkías who is all Mr. Happy Face because Renata is in his good graces again, hugs his “sis” and exclaims how happy he is to see her. Adri comes in and Nata rightfully forgets her bro in her gal pal excitement. Nata mentions she’s happy A&M are in love but then it’s weird trips incorporated as A&M glance at each other guiltily.
Over at Chez Garce (that’s French for B**ch House) Berta’s dressed and ready to go to the showdown. She’s still pithed at mamacita who says if Berta is going to papa for money she is very wrong. “No you’re the one who is wrong,” snips Berta, not knowing she’s about to be skewered by the rest of the family. Fina warns her not to reveal her diabolical secret or Berta will regret it the rest of her life.
At the Regina Center Coni gets a call from someone and she plans to meet them at a nearby restaurant. Chema joins her in the kitchen and apologizes for inconveniencing her. Well, maybe not her but her husband. He gets a bad headache which worries Cons, she says she feels he is like family, but he reminds her, yet again, he’s not a kid and leaves.
When Berta gets to EM she is rude to Beth. She goes into the conference room and faces the firing squad of Matias, Nata and Jero. Pop asks why did she lie about Jero being the baby daddy? “Because it was the truth”, insists Berta. Jero accuses her and says he knows that the baby daddy was...his brother Rafael!
Berta bares her bodacious chops at him and denies all, but Jero offers of the proof that shows what kind of woman she is. Nata pipes up that the record shows Berta did NOT lose the baby as a result of falling down the stairs. Berta says their having her record is illegal, but oh, right, Jero got it as a result of wallowing with La Doctora. Gonzo is very disappointed in Berta. “So you’re against me too Papa?” Gonzo says he is on the side of truth. Matias with his apish stance has been chomping at the bit, dying to spout off in anger and he does, saying Berta is a demon. No argument there. They all glare at each other.
Laz and Ezequiel talk about the plague and Ez says he doesn’t think he’ll be working at Cruz de Amor much longer. He messed up by gettin’ jiggy with Renata’s sister.
Alfonsina and Kari are shopping for a dress that will hopefully drive Ezequiel wild.
Back at the family BBQ Berta is just about medium-well. Nata says that both she and Jero believe that Fina was in on these lies from the beginning. Matias is gleefully enraged, “damn you both.” No, damn only mom, insists Berta. She says she’ll tell the truth, Fina is the one who concocted everything and made Berta comply with her plot. Fina is at fault for everything, blah blah blah boo hoo for me. Jero asks why didn’t Berta just refuse? She says she was between the sword and the wall. Matias calls bull**it on Berta and Nata agrees. Berta had a choice.
Ez swears he didn’t mean to boink the Berta but he couldn’t say no. Laz totally understands and Ez admits he now has an inkling of what happened with Alfonsina. Some discussion about Augi being engaged to Renata but also doing Berta, blah blah blah. Laz asks, does Nata know about what’s going on between Augi and Berta? Oh hell no.
Fina pulls out some documentation about Gonzo’s life insurance and sees that it pays out double in case of accidental death. She cackles as she happily recalls the other ‘accidental’ deaths that she caused, Roberto’s and Rafa’s. Hee hee hee, Gonzo is worth more to her dead than alive. She’s got to take advantage of the situation before he changes his beneficiary.
Aw jeez, Gonzo is still ripping on Berta and he’s in overdrive. Enough of the tribunal already. He screams at her on behalf of Matías and she tells him that his lawyer changed their marriage contract because Fina asked. Fina manipulated everything. Nata yells that Berta was responsible for her own deelio. Jero takes a turn too, then apologizes to Matías for the breach in their friendship. He also sincerely apologizes to Renata for his prior craziness. He excuses himself and leaves Berta at the mercy of the heavy breathing Monterrubios.
Jero runs into Hons at the elevator. They discuss the coincidence of their banking at the same establishment. Hons becomes suspicious.
Ez is in the vineyard instructing the workers to fumigate with the magic anti-plague concoction provided by La Bonita. Augi approaches and is not happy but Ez tells the workers to move out. He then tells Augi that Jero isn’t even around because he took the first plane to the capital. “To the capital?” asks Augi. “Yes, to the capital”, assures Ez. Let’s say capital just a couple more times. Augie juts out his lower jaw as he realizes that Nata is in the capital too.
Berta gripes to her family about the doctora’s lack of professional ethics but they stay on track with the fact that Berta and Fina are liars. Gonzo tells her to get out, it’s all over. She begs him not to abandon her. He says after what he did to Matías, Nata and him, she gave up everything for ambition, envy and hate. He leaves and she gets the Fina look on her face. Back to the dark side for you missy.
The kilt-clad Nata catches up with Jero in the garage to thank him for his part in revealing the truth. She says they have a lot to talk about and they have the usual “it’s too late for us, you’re engaged, you have another girlfriend” conversation. She tells him she hopes he finds in Marina that which he could never find in her. He wishes the same for her but Augi is not the guy; please look for another because Augi’s not the man she thinks he is.
Avances: Fina tells Berta that Regina is Renata’s real mother.
