Ok. We pick up where Nora has just tried to make another “statement” about unrequited love gone wrong by running in front of an unsuspecting motorist to off herself, thus laying another major guilt trip on poor Marcelo. Viewerville, I must admit, has more sympathy for the driver than for nasty Nora. The only up side in this is that she regains consciousness and rather than take her in an ambulance, they risk paralyzing her by putting her in Marc’s jeep and driving her to the emergency room that way. Once there she’s got some bad scrapes and sprains, but nothing more.
At Leti and Sara’s, Dr. Sara admits she misses Alonso a bunch and claims that Rebeca Murillo is a monster and never should he have married his wife’s sister.
At dead Al’s mausoleum-like manse, Lucia warns Becca that she’s been talking to all the people her tía said she went to see when Al was breathing his last. Unfortunately there seems to be a dead space of 2 hours. Knowing Becca, it’s certain she wasn’t there praying for the full 2 hours! No, more likely she was there watching as Al succumbed to his heart attack. She ran to Brigida’s place just to make everyone believe that she was otherwise occupied. Becca says, even if it were true, so what? “--Well, then you let him die and that’s exactly the same thing as killing him!” Becky throws it back in Lucia’s lap. “--So then if you’re so sure of this, why haven’t you gone and told your sister?” Because, Lucia replies, she dare not hurt Nora and compromise her faulty mental state any further. “--Oh, yes, that’s right. Well, then keep your trap shut, Miss Smarty Pants! If she loses it again, it’ll be your fault!” Lucia hits back finally and says nope, the blame will be Becca’s alone.
Nazario and Normita are having their first date. He ruins it for Normita by ordering his dead wife’s favorite –for the both of them. The old codger hasn’t been on a date for over half a century, so perhaps we should cut him some slack. Apparently Normita does.
Marc calls Lucia and tells her about Nora’s accident. She and Becca race to the hospital.
Sara learns that Leti gave Sergio what for over Gloria and they fought. She counsels Leti on not letting Gloria get the jump on her and giving back as good as she gets. “—Put herself in Gloria’s place. (Be generous of spirit.)” Sergio, meanwhile gives Gloria back the orphan sweater. “—Oh, that must be my brothers….” He tells her in no uncertain terms not to chase him any more and certainly not where he works. Gloria throws Nora in his face, but he tells her Nora is totally out of the picture and has been for months now. He’s totally into Leti and that’s that. She apologizes and promises never to cause him another moment’s problem.
Meanwhile, Rafaela gives Milagros the lowdown on Nora. Millie says, well that’s all I need- my son cutting the cord with one sister only to begin hooking up with the other one. She can die for all I care. (For once, Millie, Viewerville is right there with ya.)
At the hospital, in the lounge, Becky tries blaming Nora’s accident on him. He tries to explain that Nora impetuously threw herself in the way of the car trying to get herself hit. Becca races off to push her way into Nora’s room and Lucia and Marc are left to clear the air between them—somewhat. She tries explaining that she’s incapable of telling the authorities that her aunt caused Al’s death because of Nora’s mental instability. His brother was no better off than Nora. Try to understand. Marcelo loses patience at this for the umpteenth time. However, she admits she knows he isn’t the cause of her dad’s death. She brings up his reasons for cutting off their relationship. He says things have changed. She walks off to deal.
Daniela’s dad runs into Becky and they commiserate over both daughters being in a car accident. He mentions that Sara is his daughter’s very excellent caregiver. Perhaps for Nora also? “—She’s the last person in the world I’d let at my daughter!”
Naz brings Normita home and they find that the new housekeeper’s left the house in a mess and left the cash on the table as well. Naz says Lalo’s going to get an earful about this.
Clara is trying to chat with her son. He wants to start back to school. He’s depressed sitting around the house all day hiding from the police with her. (Yawn. I am too. This has got to get moving soon. La Clava de Clara has got to come to her senses soon or we’ll be watching this thing till next Christmas.)
Rebeca is going to take Nora home. Nora learns Daniela’s lying unconscious in the same hospital.
Alfredo thinks back to Becca’s trial seduction of him that morning. Then Daniela regains consciousness, sort of. She cannot open her eyes yet. Alfredo runs out to tell Marc and meets Dani’s daddy. He learns they’ve broken off. He mentions her mother but says he never met her personally. Alfie acts like a gentleman as Lucia and family leave and Marc goes into chat with Dani.
That night Rodrigo and Sergio chew the fat over his new relationship with Lucia. He mentions that Marc came to visit her at the plant and he was intrigued that they were discussing something about “if you find out something, tell me.”
Amador tells his wife not to stick her nose into Rebeca’s business.

parte 2
While waiting in the lounge, Marc fills Alfredo in on the reasons for his break up with Lucia – due to her aunt’s affair with his dead brother, then Nora’s mental instability that Becky’s the cause of, and the fact that Becky is not exactly right in the head herself.
Becky and Nora argue over whether she threw herself in front of the car or not. Nora swears she did it by accident. Nora swears she’s changed emotionally—not like her and Magdalena, always fighting. BTW, how was it with the dead sister, Adriana? Did she feel bad when her sister died? “—Yes! We got along much better than everybody would like to think!” Just because they fought doesn’t mean the sisters don’t hold familial love in high regard….
Lucia and Becky argue over whether Nora caused the accident or not. She still needs help, says Lucia. Becky asks for the earring back. No, says Lucia. She’s not ready to. Ok. And BTW, says Becky, your sister will get better when Marcelo Escalante finally leaves Puebla for good – or they put him in jail!
Marc gets home and gives Millie and Rafaela the good news about Dani.
The next morning Nazario give Lalo grief over the mess the cleaning lady left at Normita’s house.
Roman and Lucia have coffee and he refuses to treat her sister now because she doesn’t want to help herself. It’s a waste. He wants to please her so….he’s a fool for a woman who bats her eye lashes at him. She’s going to have to eat dinner with him though. Ok. She is up with that.
Gloria comes over to visit Nora. She wants to get even with Leti for stealing Sergio away from her. Nora’s game.
Magdalena learns that Sara is taking the day off at home.
Ricardo comes to cheer up Sara. Sara is furious that Leti should have called him about her depression. Ric doesn’t understand why they cannot be friends; after all, they share a daughter. (Typical.) She has no desire to be friends with him. “Get the heck out of my bedroom!! “
Maggie visits Sara and runs into Ric leaving. She learns that Ricardo Marquez is Leti’s daddy—right from the horse’s mouth (horse’s ass, rather). He asks about her recent marriage and she tells him she couldn’t have a better husband. He smoothly tells her that he wishes he’d not let her go way back then and walks out the door. She races into Sara’s room and asks why he was there, to get back with her? She lies about knowing him or why. Finally, Sara tells Maggie that Rebeca seems to have had something to do with Adriana’s death.
