Ishaan tells Urmi that he can’t believe Samrat said no. Shaurya is his own son and he has no concern at all. Damini enters and asks him what they did. They are closing door for themselves. Ishaan asks what does that mean. She says they know very well that they have only one option and they had to handle it such way. Ishaan says they requested to him, what more they can do. Damini says a wife cannot share her husband and they know how Tani is. They should talk to Samrat alone and he will surely agree as Shaurya is his son. She suggests them to talk to him and make him agree fast as Shaurya doesn’t have much time.

Samrat comes to Shaurya and scares the hell out of him by saying his life is in his hands. From what he has done in past, he shouldn’t be saving him. He has done a lot against him with Urmi. He teases him singing song whether he should save him or let him die and laughs.

Damini tells Anirudh if Samrat agrees for a kid with Urmi, then she will have Ishaan marry someone else. Anirudh gets angry saying their priority is Shaurya’s life and for that if Urmi gets ready, then Ishaan will definitely support her and he will support them as well. Damini says Ishaan was a fool from start, but now even Anirudh has lost his sense. She questions him what they will answer to society, their relatives, when they will ask whose child it is. Will they say that mother is Urmi, but father is not Ishaan? She makes it clear to Anirudh that if Urmi gets pregnant with Samrat’s child, then she will have Ishaan married someone else and no one will change this decision of hers. Anirudh is speechless.

Samrat is playing videogame. Urmi and Ishaan come to him. He asks them to wait till he finishes game. After while he asks them what’s the matter. Ishaan says they came to talk something important. Samrat says, wow Mr and Mrs Ishaan came to talk to Samrat Singh Rathore. He asks him to go ahead. Ishaan requests him not to take any decision in rush and risk Shaurya’s life. It’s very important that Shaurya’s sibling born soon and then they do bone transplant. Samrat starts laughing like mad. He says today should be a historic day. A husband has come with his wife and is requesting another man to sleep with his wife and make her pregnant He asks Ishaan what he is.. is he husband of Urmi or her pimp? Urmi is getting mad. Ishaan asks her to control. Urmi tells Samrat, it’s a mother standing in front of him who is begging her child’s life. Samrat tells her that’s how one doesn’t beg. One begs looking down and in proper tone. Urmi looks down and away. Samrat says good and continues teasing Urmi that she used to say she’s self sufficient, independent woman. How she needs him today? He was poison for her and today she’s begging him. She helps other women and today she’s asking him for help. She tells him to think about Shaurya. He’s his father. Samrat stands up in anger and asks what father? His father died 6 years ago when they broke all relation with him. He doesn’t take him as father either. Samrat further says that Urmi tried to wipe his name from Shaurya’s blood and married her lover despite husband being alive and today she’s saying to fulfill his father’s duty? Ishaan comes in between and requests Samrat not to bring past in this matter. It’s about Shaurya’s life. Samrat shuts him and says it’s a matter between him and Urmi and he doesn’t Ishaan there. He won’t talk till he’s there. Urmi tries to stop Ishaan, but he leaves.

Damini comes to Tani and creates doubt in her mind that what if Samrat changes his decision in future as in end Shaurya is his blood.

Samrat resumes talk with Urmi. He says so the point is that she wants to sleep with him. Urmi doesn’t say anything. He tells her not to feel ashamed, he is her ex-husband and he understands Ishaan might not be able to keep her happy. He then laughs and says he forgot he only didn’t let them consummate. He takes more advantage of Urmi’s situation and talks more rubbish. He further says he has slept with many women, different kind of, but he has never slept with someone else’s wife with her husband’s approval. He laughs and says it’s like something adventurous and he would love to experience that. He always used to think what kind of husbands are those who send their wives to sleep with other men. Today he understood, they are like Ishaan. Urmi again gets mad, but controls. Samrat says, they can’t be called men. Urmi asks him if he’s done or got more to say. He says her life will be over if he starts talking. Urmi joins her hands and tells him to take his revenge with her later, right now doesn’t he want Shaurya to get saved? He says no, he doesn’t care. Urmi gets shocked. She tells him he’s his blood.. can’t he agree for him? Samrat says, never for him. But he might agree for Urmi.

He puts a condition in front of Urmi. Like how you have to make sacrifices to get God’s blessings, she will have to please him and make him happy. If she succeeds, then she will get what she wants. Otherwise her son’s destiny, her failure, and everything will give her award of eating her own happiness. World will say, this woman married her lover leaving her husband and couldn’t save her son’s life. And this makes it utmost important for Urmi to save her son, and hence keeping Samrat happy.

Precap: Urmi asks him what she will have to do. He says not much, just think about his needs all the time. Before he says, his wishes should be fulfilled. Just understand that he’s her pati parmeshvar (husband/God) and she’s his daasi (wife/servant).

Scene 1:
Location: Ishaan’s residence
Samrat takes full pleasure in teasing urmi, that just like to get god’s blessings, sacrifices have to be done and the lord has to be worshipped. He says that she too shall have to do the same, in order to appeasde him, into giving her what she wants. He says that if she is able to please and amuse him, then he might get happy at her, and give her his blessing, or else she shall have to happily see the death of her loving son. He says that if she isnt able to,then what happens otherwise is that she shall be deemed as a woman who ate her own happiness. urmi is shocked and distraught, as she listens dumbfoundedly to samrat. she asks what she has to do, and he answers that she would have to fulfill the slightests whims of his, and tke care of his every need, or him to agree into giving what she wants. he taunts and asks if she agrees. samrat is amused at urmi’s plight, and places it on her face, that he is overjoyed to see her like this. He asks her to get prepped up for her big day starting tomorrow, and make all efforts possible to appease him. she doesnt say a word and begins to leave, when samrat asks her to stop. He says that this deal or any other word, shouldnt be known to tani. she is boggled, as she turns around to face him. he asks if she wants the work to be done, and shaurya be saved, then she shouldnt allow tani to find out. He dismisses her off, and she leaves resignedly. he smiles evilly.

Damini meanwhile continuously instigates tani, who is unconvinced that samrat would have the guts to betray her, and that urmi wont be able to convince him. damini still asks what if she manges to convince samrat. tani gets furious and says that then she shall throw samrat out of her life forever. damini thinks that this is exactly what she wants to happen and wanted to hear from her. she leaves while tani is super tensed. Then she goes to ishaan, who is nervously pacing around in the room. ishaan says that he has no clue what samrat must be telling urmi, and how disgusted he is by the way samrat behaves with urmi, so callous, when urmi is apalled thinking of shaurya. she says that he is indeed brave to be able to take this decision. ishaan says that he isnt noble, but they dont have a choice, as if he had, he wouldnt have let samrat touch urmi even. she says that she knows, and bares out what he has to do, in bare, stinging words. She says that she is shocked and proud of his decision. he says that they shall do whatever it takes to save shaurya, as he is most important to them. He says that he is tensed wondering if samrat shall agree. damini says that he shall, and then covers saying that he is his son after all. just then, urmi comes in recalling samrat’s words, and remembering what his proposal is, and gets tensed, while ishaan eagerly asks what was samrat’s decision and what did he say. She sees damini and says that samrat said that he shall decide and then say about his decision. damini is confused, as she had expected samrat to say yes. Damini is angered as she leaves the room. She then confronts samrat asking why did he deny. He says that he didnt do anything. She asks him the reason. He however enjoys it, saying that he is doing what she wants. He says that she is being selfish, and that he cant let urmi come away so easily, and says tht he shall enjoy to the fullest. he is super happy at the way urmi shall be at his service now. damini says that samrat is rightly oppurtunist as urmi blames him to be, saying that she is praising him. he too says that she indeed is selfish too. She smirks him, thinking that he is enjoying his own son’s illness, as when he finds out that he is ruining his own happinexs, then she shall see his reaction. meanwhile, ishaan is terribly worried to find out what samrat told urmi. urmi is then asked to elaborate in detail. He is disgusted at samrat’s stance, as to how a father could do this. he assures urmi that they shall cross this difficult time together and save shaurya and move afresh. she hugs him.

the next morning, at the breakfast table, ishaan comes and asks urmi for his coffee. urmi comes with ishaan’s coffee. samrat intentionally says that he too feels like making coffee right now. Damini asks him to finish his breakfast and then the maid shall make it. But urmi serves him instead of ishaan. sandhya points out that she is giving ishaan’s rightful coffee to samrat. Ishaan howevere asks her not to mind, as he is in a hurry. ishaan asks her to give him a quick breakfast please. she leaves. samrat then says that he suddenly feels like eating Daal Kachori made by hr. sandhya points out that it shall take time. damini asks her to give ishaa first and then she can give to samrat, and samrat taunts that she can definitely do so. urmi is tensed. Ishaan asks her to attend to samrat, as he shall take some takeaway, and then asks her not to bother. she apologises, while he asks her not to worry about him. urmi is frustrated with samrat but doesnt show.

Later, all continue to praise urmi’s cooking as she prepares what samrat wanted. Tani comes down and sandhya gets an idea, and asks her to come and taste thge kachori that urmi made for him. tani is furious and angered, while urmi stands tensedly. Sandhya leaves, while tani comes angrily, and asks samrat how can he enjoy this so nicely and easily. he is boggled, and says that he had no clue that urmi had made this, and had he known, he wouldnt have even tasted it. urmi is disgusted as she eyes him with his charade. he says that urmi is going to all lengths to please samrat, and then throwing the plates away, takes samrat away, saying that this characterless woman can do anything to sleep with him. They leave, while urmi is tensed. She then puts on a brave face, and comes extra cheerful to shaurya, that she has made his favourite soup, after drinking which, he shall have his meds and then sleep. he asks if he can ask a question. She complies. Shaurya asks urmi if he is going to die. She is shocked as she hears this, and asks why is he saying this, as nothing would happen to him. He asks her to spill the truth and if he is going to die. She hugs him and says that nothing shall happen to him, as he is just a little sick, and asks him not to think all this. She asks who told this all. he hesitatingly says that samrat came and told this. she is bewildered and furious.

Ishaan comes down tired, and damini asks if he had breakfast. he complies, and then finds urmi angrily pacing in the hall. They wonder urmi screams at him, and then rushes to the rooftop to meet him. When she finds samrat, she slaps him tight across the face, knocking the winds out of his lungs. Ishaan and damini are surprised. Samrat is shocked. The screen freezes on urmi’s angry face.

Precap: Ishaan tries to salvage the situation, asking samrat not to hurt urmi or shaurya, as they are already going through a lot, and he can vent out whatever frustration he has, to him, rather than direct it at urmi. Samrat glares angrily. ishaan helplessly tells him that he hopes that he would forget what just happened here, and then not let it adversely affect his decision regarding saving shaurya or any other detail associated with it. samrat smirks at him evilly.

TUESDAY ON GANGAA

LIKE TO APPRECIATE, COMMENT AND SHARE



Ganga is sleeping when she cannot get Niru’s probing questions about the attacker out of her mind. She recalls the stampede on the Ganga ghaat. She wakes up screaming, Bappa save me! Amma ji gets down seeing what happened to her and Ganga hugs her. Amma ji asks her why is she scared. No one is here. You don’t have to be scared. Niru and Madhvi too come running there. Niru gives her water. Amma ji tells them what happened. Niru assures Ganga that nothing happened. Ganga tells Babu that that guy will kill her. He has a gun in his hand. She drinks water. Madhvi says it would be a bad dream. You are very brave. NIru and Madhvi leave. Amma ji too lies down to sleep. Ganga shifts her bedding near her bed.

MLA’s PA (Verma) informs MLA that Shankar is in Banaras. He wants to talk to you. I tried to tell him against it but he isn’t listening to me. MLA says tell him that I am out of town. I wont be back soon. Verma nods.

Verma calls Shankar and lies to him. Shankar knows that it’s a lie. He doesn’t want to meet me. its ok, I too am stubborn. I will meet him at any cost.

Niru is sitting lost in thoughts. Madhvi asks him about it. Niru thinks that Ganga’s dream is somehow surely related to reality. She recognized that man from the sketch a little. She also said that he had a gun with him. She got scared in dreams and was talking about a guy with a gun in his hand. Madhvi says it might be but she might be stressed after all your questions. Niru is sure there is something. She knows or has seen that man somewhere but doesn’t remember it exactly.

Next morning, Ganga is getting ready to go to the school. Everyone gets ready to go to school with the kids. Ganga wishes them best of luck. Niru is impressed. You are learning things very fast. Are you doing something today? She tells them that she will be singing national anthem. Sagar gives them small Indian flags to pin on the dress. Ganga politely declines to put it as it has colours in it. Niru explains that it is the representing symbol of our country. It is our responsibility to respect national flag, even if the person is from any caste, religion or anything. Ganga gets glad that Amma ji too will put it. Sagar nods and pins it on her saree. Niru asks Ganga if the guardians of Ganga aren’t called in her school. Sagar denies. There is nothing happening there. I am participating. Niru still wants to go for a while but Ganga assures them that she will go. Sagar teases her by asking her if she will get scared like yester night. They all leave for their destinations.

Ganga finds Reena sitting on her parents shop. She is not coming today. Her parents want her to help them in the shop. Reena works very hard at shop. At times I don’t even get a chance to study. Ganga explains them that studies are very important. All the girls should study. I too took admission for the very same reason. one day I will become a big person like Babu. It will be such a great thing if she becomes something good and earns money. They nod but add that there will be no studies today. Ganga tells them what Babu had told them. so many people sacrificed their lives so we could live freely. It is equally important to go today as we celebrate this day in their honour. Reena’s parents understand Ganga’s logic. She sits down to help Reena. They both finish the work together and Reena joins Ganga for school. The girls leave. Reena’s mother is impressed with Ganga. She is so young yet so smart.

Sagar’s school is completely decorated for the event.

Bulbul has plans after school as she doesn’t want to get bored. Reena and Ganga too decide to go near Sagar’s school.

The chief guest (MLA and his group) arrives at Sagar’s school. MLA looks pointedly at Niru as he heads towards the stage. Pulkit and his girlfriend steal glances at each other.

Principal joins the kids for the functions. It is time for flag hoisting.

Flag hoisting happens in Sagar’s school too. Everyone salutes the flag and sings national anthem.

Flag hoisting takes place in Ganga’s school too. The girls too salute at it. it is time for national anthem. Ganga steps forward. Bulbul is happy thinking that Ganga will be singing alone. No one will sing with her. Ganga too thinks of the same. Reena thinks of how Ganga helped her. She steps forward and sings along with Ganga. Bulbul and her gang eye them unhappily.

Precap: Principal explains the kids about the significance of the day. Ganga can see that they base where the flag has been put is bobbing. The flag is about to fall but she holds the pole in time.

At Sagar’s school, the kids submit their presentations. Chaturvedi family wishes good luck to Sagar.

Ganga thanks Reena for singing with her. Principal explains the kids about the significance of the day. Ganga looks at the flag and thinks of Babu’s words. She salutes the flag once again. She can see that the base where the flag has been put is bobbing. The flag is about to fall but she holds the pole in time. Everyone looks at her in surprise. All the teachers rush to help her. They put the flag back in its place.

The lady chief guest recites a few lines of a patriotic poem.

Principal ma’am applauds Ganga for the respect that she has for their flag. She has become an example for everyone. The kids and teachers clap for Ganga. Ganga smiles. Gunwanti too appreciates Ganga. Bulbul isn’t happy. Teachers distribute sweets to all the girls. Ganga gets two laddoos. Reena is concerned for Ganga. Ganga gives her both the laddoos as she cannot eat them. Will you come with me to the other school? Ganga nods. It is Sagar’s school after all.

There are dance performances happening in Sagar’s school. Yash does a solo dance. Ganga and Reena watch it from a distance. Prabha shouts out loud for her son. You did a fab job! He got this talent from me. Yash is not happy to notice Ganga there. It is time to see the presentations that the kids have made. Chandar is sure he will win this time. MLA whispers something in one of his guy’s ears. Ganga is sure Sagar will win. But I added something in his presentation. What if it ruins it? Please don’t make him lose. Sagar wins. He is confused to see his presentation though as he dint adds the lady in the centre. Who made this? Ganga is really happy for him and so is Chaturvedi family. Ganga tells Reena that this is her Sagar. MLA gives trophy to Sagar. Amma ji gets up from her chair in excitement. Niru makes her sit. Sgaar is surprised to see Ganga standing there. He shows her his trophy as he understands that he won because of her. The same guy comes there too. Verma points it out to MLA. The guy looks at Amma ji / Kanta’s photo again. Come soon. I have loads of work. I have to find Kanta in this big city!

Amma ji kisses Sagar’s forehead lovingly. The man walks past her but neither of them notices each other. Amma ji certainly feels something but doesn’t get to see him. MLA meets that man at a corner. The guy knows MLA’s lies too well so he came here directly. MLA replies that he cannot talk here. We will meet later. The guy leaves but only after warning him that he wont go back from here without meeting him. Amma ji and the guy don’t see each other yet again. The lady chief guest leaves. Principal announces inter school competition that is due after 2 weeks. All the schools from Banaras will participate in it. Please register your names with your teachers if you want to participate!

Sagar gives his trophy to Ganga. She shows it to Reena. I was just praying that you too only should win. Congratulations! She introduces him to Reena. He is sad thinking that she is her friend while he is nothing. Madhvi and Amma ji too join them.

MLA greets Niru. Pulkit observes them talking and thinks that they have become friends. MLA asks Niru why he is so interested in such an ordinary case. NIru asks him the same question. Why do you talk to me about this case every time we meet? Niru promises to find out what is in this case that a MLA is so much interested in it. I will have to fight against your BIL but. You know my style of working. I don’t sit at peace while I find the problem!

Everyone is in the car waiting for Niru. Sagar asks her if she enjoyed in the school. She affirms. I had lots of fun. You stand out in the crowd. I was so proud when you won that trophy. Amma ji notices that man standing nearby. She is in for a shock. He is the same guy, right? It cannot be! Maybe I am imagining it.

Precap: Madhvi is in the market. She is talking to Maharaj ji about something when that guy comes there. He shows Amma ji’s photo to the vegetable seller asking him if he recognizes her. Madhvi glances upon it too by chance. The guy leaves by then.

TUESDAY ON COLOR OF PASSION EPISODE 96

LIKE TO APPRECIATE, COMMENT AND SHARE



Lucia breaks off the kiss with Roman and asks him for more time. This should be yet another BIG red sign to Roman that he is nothing more than a rebound, but he soldiers on. He tells Lucia she can have as much time as she needs (as long as that time is no longer than a week, I’m sure), but he has one condition—that they spend that time TOGETHER. Lucia agrees, and they get back to drinking their pre-dinner wine.

Sara rips into Leti for sharing her personal business with Ric that she was sick. He waltzed right into her bedroom, like he owned the place! Leti thinks he was just being nice, but Sara makes it clear that she and Ric will never, ever be friends. “Well, your friend Magdalena doesn’t feel the same.” Leti spills about the tryst in the park she just spied between Ric and Magda. Sara definitely knows what that was about.

Sergio arrives, and Leti tells him she was fighting with her mom about her father. Sergio thinks Sara likely has perfectly good reasons for not wanting to be near the guy, and he doesn't have a high opinion of him either. Leti thinks he’s not so bad, and in fact, she wants Sergio to meet him. She asks how things went in the courts, and Sergio nearly forgot that’s the lie he told about where he was going when he went to see Nora. He continues the lies when he gets a text alert from Nora, and tells Leti it’s Rod.

Sara calls Nazario, who still looks shaken up over the death of Trini’s bird. She tells him that she told Magda about Rebeca possibly being Adriana’s killer, and then Magda went straight to Ric. She’s giving Naz a heads up, in case Magda comes to him. Naz asks if Sara told Magda about their suspicions of Rebeca being involved in Alonso’s death too, and is relieved to hear she didn’t. 

At dinner with Mario, Magda is quiet, unable to eat, and is evasive. When Mario mentions that Samuel came to see him and asked Mario about her, Magda gets nervous. She assures Mario that she’s happy, when he asks. Mario suggests they go away for a few days, since they had to cut their honeymoon short. Magda thanks him, and even gives him a lovely kiss on the hand, but tells him she has too much work at the hospital right now. Mario looks worried.

On the mean streets of Puebla, two cars pull up next to each other at a stoplight. Lucia is in the passenger seat of Roman’s car, and he chatters away, not noticing that Marcelo is the driver in the other car, and that Lucia isn’t listening to a word he’s saying because she’s transfixed by Marcelo. Roman drives on, and drones on, without ever realizing.

Lalo pays Clara a visit and scolds her for making him look bad with Normita. Benito gets her off the hook by telling Lalo it was his fault for running off without informing his mom or madrina. Lalo offers to take him out any time he wants, after he gets home from work in the evenings. Clara’s sure Normita won’t hire her again, but she plans to go over the next day to apologize anyway.

Marcelo makes Milagros happy by announcing to her and Rafaela that they are going back to Mexico (City)! Pack your bags, and my stuff, ladies! He’s headed there tomorrow to meet with his old boss about his old job.

Lucia also makes a happy announcement, at least happy for Nora. She tells Nora that she and Roman are now novios—well, they’re giving it a try. Despite being pleased that everything is working out as she planned, Nora still can’t help but get a nasty dig in. “Let’s hope it all doesn’t turn ugly like it did with your other two suitors, because frankly, you don’t really choose well.” Before leaving, Lucia asks about Sergio’s visit. Nora claims he just unexpectedly came to see her. Lucia makes sure Nora knows that Sergio is now Leti’s man, so hands off, hermana.

Over at Bro Central, Rod is in the middle of calling Sergio an idiot for first going to see Nora, and then lying about it to Leti. And when Rod is the sensible one in the conversation, you know you’ve really messed up. Sergio makes all kinds of excuses—she called me, I didn’t call her; she seems sincere, maybe she’s changed; she’s no longer interested in me. Rod is emphatic—Nora will never change; she’s likely plotting something; she’s a viper. If he were Sergio, he would tell Leti, because if she finds out from someone else…

Brigida finds Amador opening a celebratory bottle of midnight white wine. She joins him in celebrating that everything is coming up roses in the fabrica. Even Rod is making headway with Lucia. Brigida still thinks Nora would be a better match for Rod. Amador is dismissive of Nora. He agrees that she inherited her mama’s good looks, but not her elegance, intelligence, sophistication, or her astuteness. Brigida starts to gets a bit jealous with all these effusive compliments for Rebeca, but Amador swears he doesn’t have a thing for her.

The next morning, Magda is waiting in Rebeca’s room when she emerges from her dressing room. She gets straight to it, and asks Rebeca point blank if she killed Adriana. Rebeca gets agitated and indignant, but that doesn’t work on Magda. She makes Rebeca swear on the thing most precious to her, on NORA’S LIFE, that she had nothing to do with Adriana’s death. Rebeca evades the question for a bit, then looks Magda square in the eyes, and swears on Nora’s life. (In case you weren’t keeping track, you can be assured that Karma has noted that both Amador and Rebeca have now sworn on the lives of their only children, while telling a blatant lie.) “If I find out that you had something to do with the death of Adriana, I assure you that I will personally make sure you rot in jail.”

On her way out, Magda sadly contemplates the landing and banister where Adriana fell. Lucia greets her aunt, but Magda has no mind for pleasantries. She begs Lucia to move out of that house and come live with her. She can’t be at peace knowing that Lucia is living there with Rebeca—who hates Lucia because she’s the daughter of Adriana. Lucia knows, but she’s not leaving that house until she’s settled some scores with Rebeca. Magda picks up on how ominous that sounds, but Lucia doesn’t elaborate. Instead she mentions that she plans to keep the promise to her father, to not leave until she gets married. Lucia is sure she can handle Rebeca. Magda insists and says she wants to protect Lucia, but Lucia won’t be swayed. Magda then enters Lucia’s room and hugs and cries over the picture of Adriana.

While Rafaela does all the work packing up Marcelo’s tchotchkes, Mili casually sips her coffee and bitches about being happy to leave Puebla and never hearing Lucia’s name again. Marcelo’s already arrived in D.F. at his apartment. He’s once again assaulted by the memory of finding Federico’s body when he sees the blood stained rug. (Someone should really get rid of that thing for him.) He slides to the floor, and begs Fede forgiveness for having failed him. Marcelo really is on a downward spiral of guilt.

Back in Puebla, the nurse and Alfredo are on hand to take Daniela on her first test walk. And it’s an utter failure. They try over and over again, but Dani’s long, gangly legs give out on her. She can’t feel her legs and starts freaking out about it. The nurse runs off to get a doctor, and Alfie tries to keep Dani calm. When the doctor arrives, he tests Dani and finds that some parts of her legs/feet have feeling, while others don’t. He believes it’s just a matter of time, and they should remain calm. In the meantime, he’s prescribing physical therapy. Alfie insists that he wants to take her back to D.F., so the doctor agrees to discharge her tomorrow, at their own risk. Dani's depressed and doesn’t want to go anywhere. Alfie sweetens the deal by telling her Marcelo’s going back to D.F. too.

Lalo apologizes to Naz for offending him with his comment about him and Normita. Naz says no offense taken, and in fact, he’s been thinking. Normita is a great girl (he really did call her a muchacha) who just needs some company, and he’s an old man, soon to kick the bucket, and he doesn’t want to do it alone, so what the heck! (So romantic! NOT!) Lalo is ten times more excited by the news of a possible Naz-Normita noviazgo than Naz is. Naz breaks off their convo to chat with Lucia about putting a stop to the Provedora de Centro contract, now that the work order has come through.

Lucia and Naz make their case to Rebeca about not going through with the contract. They express their own doubts about the low price and high quantity, and about Al’s deep reservations about it. Rebeca has Normita look for Amador, who’s getting an update from Vini. He tells Amador that Lucia and Naz are plotting against him, but he doesn’t know what they’re plotting. It becomes clear when Amador joins them all in Alonso’s office.

Amador once again says it’s a good business deal for them-- Al only had a problem with it because he had a personal problem with Amador, and the low price is balanced by the high quantity. When Lucia mentions that she believes he’s benefiting from the deal somehow (based on Rod’s half-assed info), Amador challenges them to prove just how. Rebeca decides to side with Amador, and rubs it in Lucia and Naz’s face that she definitely has Nora’s vote, so they are outvoted. When Lucia and Naz leave, she lets Amador know that she doesn’t trust him either, but she sided with him just to stick it to Lucia. “But if I find out that Ricardo has something to do with this, the one who’s going to end this partnership is ME!” Amador gulps, and swears there’s nothing shady going on. In the courtyard, Lucia tells Naz that either Rebeca is Amador’s accomplice in this, or she sided with him just to screw with them. BINGO! Naz has a plan, but he’s not sharing it with Lucia yet.

In the hospital, Alfie and Milagros discuss Dani’s condition. Mili encourages Alfie to head home to rest. She’ll stay with Dani-- she loves her like a daughter and wishes she had a daughter. They say daughters stick close to you, more so than sons. Alfie reminds her that she has/had two great sons. He wonders why she never married again, so that she might have had that daughter. Aw, hell no! I buried two husbands and had no interest in burying a third. Mili rolls her eyes for good measure after Alfie leaves, just thinking about a third husband.

On his way out of the hospital, Alfie bumps into Sara and asks her to share a coffee with him. They sit outside and decide to finally speak informally to each other. Alfie starts fishing for info about whether Sara has kids and her marital status. She tells him about her daughter, being a single mom, and her baby-daddy who just recently came back into the picture. In fact, Alfie knows him—Ricardo Marquez. Yep, the cradle-robbing, gold-digging bastard who was dating his daughter. Alfie’s next question is about Rebeca—he knows Rebeca doesn’t think highly of Sara. “I also have nothing good to say about her…She’s a woman who harms the people closest to her.” Alfie tries to fish for more info, but Sara clams up and takes her leave after wishing him and his daughter a safe trip back home. Alfie looks thoughtful.

Leti’s on the phone, happily making dinner plans with Ricardo for him to meet her novio Sergio. Sergio arrives, and seems intent on telling Leti about Nora’s renewed interest in a "friendship" with him, but Leti’s news about their dinner with her dad derails him. Leti then shares her burning piece of gossip about seeing Magda and her dad in the park last night. Neither of them realizes that Mario is passing by and has heard it all. He walks right in and demands to know WHEN she saw them. Leti tries to walk it back. Maybe it wasn’t them…it was dark…But Mario isn’t listening. He rushes out, fuming.

Sara and Magda chat in the hospital. Magda wants to believe Rebeca is telling the truth, but she’s having a hard time. Sara doesn’t believe Rebeca in the least. Magda’s so confused and upset, she couldn’t even speak to Mario about it. They agree that Lucia must not know.

Lucia lights into Rod for not giving her detailed enough info to really fight Amador and Rebeca. Rod’s obviously having a tough time playing both sides of the fence, and still doesn’t tell Lucia that his dad is an owner of Provedora de Centro. “The next time you want to show me you’re on my side, give me something more concrete!”

In D.F., Marcelo enters a restaurant and calls Rafa to let her know he didn't have luck with his old boss (someone new is in his old job), and he’ll hit the road back to Puebla after he has lunch. Two middle-aged ladies are chatting at a nearby table, and one of them can’t take her eyes off Marcelo from the moment he walks by. She approaches him and asks, “Are you related to Cristobal Escalante? You look exactly like him.” Marcelo also stands and asks if she knew his father. She admits that she knew him VERY well, and mourned his death, more than Marcelo can imagine. It all clicks for Marcelo, and he expectantly asks her if she’s the woman for whom his father was going to divorce his momster?
