Silvano realizes that LM and Marifea are in the restaurant and Rosaura tells him she'd prefer another restaurant. Silvano says no, that they should go and say hello so that LM can finally understand that she doesn't care about seeing him with another woman. Despite her unwillingness, Silvano brings her to their table. The couples greet each other and Silvano compliments Marifea on her look. Marifea replies that Eduarda helped her look pretty for LM. To make Rosaura jealous, LM starts flirting with Marifea, telling her, "I ADORE it when you dress up for me". Silvano and Rosaura say good-bye and go sit at another table, while LM and MF do kissy-kissy stuff to show off their "love".
     At Leobardo's house, the boy asks his grandmother why she told LM that the baby is named Angeliquita. The grandmother replies that she can't tell the truth about the baby,and in all normal families, it just doesn't happen that a baby remains unnamed, so from now on, the baby's name is Angelica, or Angeliquita.
     The old lady says that the baby has stolen her heart and she loves her as if she was her own grandchild.
     Back at the restaurant, Rosaura is busy denying that the presence of LM and Marifea has ruined her appetite. Guess who else goes into the restaurant? Valeria enters and immediately notices the presence of LM and Marifea. Amused, she calls Eva on her cell to inform her.
     Eduarda is seated in the living room when there's a knock at the door. She goes to open it, and Eva enters like a fury. Her greeting is "Traitor!" Eduarda asks her what she's doing there and Eva responds that she is finally going to fix that "Blind Woman of a Thousand Demons" ("ESTA CIEGA DE MIL DEMONIOS).
     Eduarda tries to hold her back, but Eva shoves her and throws her on the sofa. Next, Eva runs into Marifea's room and locks the door, telling Marifea "I've been looking for you". Marifea cries, "Eva!"
     Eva asks her how she can tell it's her, and don't bother saying she recognized her voice because they've hardly ever spoken. Supernervous, Marifea bleats out that she recognized Eva's voice because blind people's other senses develop more to compensate.
     Eduarda knocks at the door and shouts for them to open it. Eva grabs Marifea and tells her to listen closely: that she is not going to succeed in taking LM away from her, because if not even la Gata Salvaje could do it, a blind girl doesn't stand a chance!
     To underline her message, Eva gives Marifea a tremendous slap! Surprise, Marifea doesn't waste any time giving her one back with interest. They start hitting each other all over the room, with Eduarda yelling outside for them to open the door.
     While these two witches are fighting, LM sneaks into the ex-Arismendi Estate and gets into Rosaura's room, where Rosaura is sleeping like an angel. He starts speaking to her while caressing her face. He tells her that her kisses will never belong to Silvano or any other man...and he kisses her. He sneaks out as silently as he came in, and goes out through the garden. Rosaura wakes up and asks herself if LM was really there, or if she dreamed it, while touching her just-kissed lips...but she manages to go back to sleep. Meanwhile, LM gets into his car and leaves!
     Back at LM's apartment, the fight is still going on. Eduarda has managed to get into the room and separates the two women. Eduarda tells Eva she can't hit Marifea because she's blind. Eva replies that Marifea is NOT blind because when she slapped her the first time, Marifea didn't hesitate to hit her back as any seeing person would have. Marifea says that she was only defending herself, while a hysterical Eva accuses her of faking blindness only to manipulate LM.
     Eduarda then reminds her that Eva is not in a position to accuse anybody of lying, since she tricked LM for a long time by telling him that Gabriel's son was his baby. Eva says that she has discovered her ploy and she will tell LM everything. Eduarda tells her to leave or she will call the cops. Eva warns Marifea to watch out for her, since Eva now is wise to her play-acting. She leaves, and Marifea is very scared about Eva's knowing the truth. Eduarda calms her by saying that Eva has no proof, and says that she will protect her so LM doesn't find out.
     Leobardo is playing in the park when he meets LM. They start talking about the baby. LM tells the boy that he also has a baby girl that he's never seen. The boy asks him why he doesn't know his own baby and LM tells him it's too complicated for him to explain. He's at the park hoping to meet the grandmother with the baby because when he saw the baby he got a strong feeling about her. He tells Leobardo it's hard to explain this feeling or understand it...and tells him to go play with his friends.
     Back at the Modeling Agency, Rosaura tells Karina about her suspicions ...she thinks LM sneaked into her room and kissed her!
     A taxi arrives at the Arismendi estate and a beautiful girl gets out..Guess who? Jimena's back in residence at the ranch! Panchita's inside, as always, singing and dusting, when the bell rings. Panchita prays that it be Silvano but she's disappointed, it's only Jimena. Panchita asks her if she's out of jail already?
     Jimena laughs and tells Panchita she hasn't changed a bit! Instead, she tells Panchita that she asked Rosaura if she could live there, and Panchita's reply is " that's what everybody thinks,this place is either a hotel or an inn, everybody wants to live here!". Jimena says she doesn't want to live with Eduarda. Luisana comes into the room and is very happy to see Jimena, they hug and say nice things to each other.
     LM goes back to the Ranch and hides in a room. Rosaura welcomes Jimena and congratulates her on her rehabilitation, echoed by Caridad.
     In the House of the Granados Sisters, Eva and Silvia are dining with Valeria and Eva says that Marifea isn't blind, but she can't prove it. Silvia says that the most important thing right now is not showing LM that Marifea isn't blind, but to recover the letter. Valeria asks "what letter?" and Silvia tells her everything they did to prevent Karina from inheriting, and that Max wrote her a letter before he died, and this letter is now in the hands of "the illegitimate one" Cut to Karina in her bed, with the letter in her hand ..asking herself what could have Max written?? But she tells herself that she's still not ready to read it and hides it back inthe drawer. Rosaura is in her room when LM suddenly comes up behind her and embraces her. She's surprised. He tells her he was very jealous when he saw her with Silvano in the restaurant, and he kisses her. The kiss goes on, but finally Rosaura breaks away and says that this wasn't part of their agreement, that they had decided to lead separate lives. LM asserts that she wants those kisses as much as he does. She begs him to leave by the same window he came in, and not to come back, or she'll have bars put on the windows. Then she leaves the room with LM still in it. Rosaura runs to Jimena's room and tells her and Caridad that LM went into her room and kissed her. Jimena asks her if she still loves LM, and Rosaura says yes, but there are too many things that have separated them and right now the only thing she wants is to...find her missing baby!
     At Sonia's house, the grandmother and Leobardo inform Sonia that the baby's name is now Angeliquita and ask if she likes the name. Sonia doesn't care. Leobardo mentions LM and Sonia asks him how many friends he has,wasn't his friend's name Silvano? The boy answers that he has 2 friends, Silvano and LM. Sonia asks if they're rich and the grandmother gets irritated and tells her daughter that isn't revelant. Sonia replies that one can always take advantage of rich friends!
     Adriana is very nervous at the hospital. Meredes arrives and Adriana starts telling her aunt that Imanol is in very critical condition and that she feels really guilty.
     Caridad and Jimena finish inspecting Rosaura's room and give her the ok to return since LM has left. Rosaura asks them if they're sure, and they say yes, and she sighs, saying hopefully he will never come back and respect her pain.
     Guillermo comes to visit Jimena and is received by Panchita, who begins a monologue on the fact that this house is a magnet for handsome hunks, but then she thinks it over and decides that she's the attraction they all come to see and is quite pleased with that idea. Guillermo overhears her talking to herself, and asks her to repeat what she said....Panchita just says that she was just thinking out loud. Then she tells Guillermo that he went to see "the ex" as in " the ex-alcoholic Miss Jimena. Guillermo gets offended and demands more respect from her. Panchita leaves and Jimena arrives. They hug and talk about what they will do on Jimena's first day out of the clinic. Guillermo says that he made her two promises, one to take her to eat the biggest, juiciest hamburgers and the second one was...ask her to marry him! He formally asks Jimena to become his wife. At that precise instant, someone knocks at the door, which Panchita has to interrupt her eavesdropping to answer. It's Rodrigo, and he happily greets Jimena. He tells her what happened to Imanol, and how right now he's hovering between life and death. She asks to see him immediately.Meanwhile, Guillermo is totally out of it and asks Jimena if she is going to give him an answer!! She tells him that she can't answer right now.
     Marifea is in her room smoking and reading a book when LM knocks at the door. She puts out the cigarette and hides the book. When LM enters, he realizes she's been smoking and asks her how she managed to light the cigarette. She laughs nervously and tells him that just because she's blind that doesn't mean she's totally helpless, it took her a few tries but she managed. Then she asks him what he wanted to talk to her about. LM just looks at her doubtingly.
     MJ enters Karina's room and finds her passed out on the floor.
     LM tells Maribella that he will take her to the clinic, because according to the docvtors, she should have already recovered her sight, so she should undergo some tests. Marifea gets very nervous.
     Marifea and LM discuss the pros and cons of visiting the doctor. She makes some lame excuses, but insists that she wants to get well so she won't be a burden to him. She tells him she knows he doesn't love her, but if she's hanging on to him, it's because he's the most important thing in her life and if she could see, she would leave him so he could go back to being happy with Rosaura. (Crying copious crocodile tears all the while). She begs him to forgive her for being a burden, and LM tells her not to get so upset. Marifea keeps crying, because she is so sad...
     Eduarda calls Rosaura and demands that she stop seeing LM.
     Rosaura replies that he's the one looking for HER. Eduarda tells her to reject him. Rosaura swears that she's no longer interested in men, all she wants is to find her daughter. Eduarda threatens her and says that something bad could happen to her...Rosaura asks her if she's thinking of killing her the way she killed her father....Eduarda hangs up the phone in shock and anger.
     Karina comes to and asks what happened to her. MJ says she has no clue, Karina can only say that suddenly she felt very weak.
     MJ insists that they go to the doctor, Karina doesn't want to since she's convinced it's only stress and maybe that she's not eating a balanced diet.
     Jimena cries over Imanol, and even though Guillermo insists, she tells him they will talk about it later. She leaves for the hospital with Rodrigo. Luisana arrives and asks where Jimena is, Panchita tells her. Guillermo tells Luisana that he asked Jimena to marry him and when Luisana asks what her answer was, Panchita breaks in to the conversation and says "nothing!" since Rodrigo showed up at that very moment with the bad news.
     Luisana reprimands Panchita and tells her that she has to stop butting in to other people's conversations. Then she invites Guillermo to follow her to the living room so they can talk privately. Panchita is very offended at this treatment...she can't understand why she is excluded from family chats if she is an Arismendi-Rios-Olivares.
     Marifea continues to sob and pity herself, she begs LM not to submit her to the tortures of tests, hospitals, bla,bla, bla. Her noise, whining and tears is finally enough to dissaude LM from taking her for tests!

HERE IS ENGLISH VERSION OF RACKEL'S SUMMARY POSTED 1/14/03 ON UNIVISION...ENJOY
     At the Arismendi house, Luisana and Guillermo are having a chat. He tells her that he asked Jimena to marry him, but he said she didn't show him any feelings at all.
     Luisana replies that she's certain that Jimena loves him, but she was in shock from the bad news. Guillermo says that he knows that she doesn't love him in the same way as she loved Ivan. Luisana suggests that he give Jimena some time, remember that she's just come out of the clinic and she still needs to adjust. LM informs Eduarda of the hysterical reaction Marifea had when he asked her to go to the specialist. Eduarda insists that Marifea's going through some very hard times and he should not be pressuring her to do anything. LM says that everybody's having a hard time right now, including Rosaura who lost her baby. Eduarda doesn't waste a chance to speak ill of Rosaura, saying that she is to blame for the baby's disappearance and that he shouldn't feel sorry for her...on the contrary, he should hate her!
     At the hospital, Adriana is talking with Imanol's mother and trying to make the poor woman feel better. Then Rodrigo and Jimena walk by and Adriana is surprised to see them. She asks if Jimena got special permission from the clinic to leave. Jimena tells her no, she finished her treatment, and asks about Imanol. Adriana tells her he's still in intensive care and introduces his mother. Jimena introduces herself as a great friend of Imanol's, not to be worried, he would make it through.She asks permission to go see him. Adriana turns to Rodrigo and says, that means she will see Ivan in the room with Imanol! Ivan is very surprised to see her come into the room.
     Rosaura is in her room when Caridad comes in to tell her the family's waiting for her to go down to dinner. Rosaura asks to be excused, she's not hungry. Caridad tries to comfort her, but Rosaura just starts crying (badly as usual) for her poor lost baby.
     Caridad suggests that she take a long trip so she can forget all this, but Rosaura says no, that she has to stay here until her daughter is found. Ivan asks Jimena what's she doing, outside of the clinic, and she replies that she finished the treatment and will never have to go back, because her addiciton is under control and she will never have a relapse. Then she asks about Imanol's condition and Ivan says that he's doing very badly, but he hopes that by staying by his side he can transmit positive energy to help him recover.
     Jimena prays that he be saved from death, and Ivan concurs. Then they go off to one side, take off the surgical masks and look at each other. Ivan says that she looks different, more beautiful - it seems that he's looking at another Jimena.
     Jimena dice que Dios quiera que se salve e Ivan dice que El le desea lo mismo. She answers that she is another Jimena, and Ivan says that maybe they needed to talk, she can't understand what about, since everything between them has been said. That he hates her for the death of their baby. Ivan says that that was a long time ago and that both of them were young and immature, but there are still a lot of things they could talk about, clarify and also, ask forgiveness of each other. At that moment Imanol moans and they run to his bedside. Ivan runs to get a doctor while Jimena talks to Imanols and tells him to fight for his life!
     Marifea, totally mortified and ashamed, confesses to Eduarda that she is sure that LM suspects her. Eduarda calms her down by saying that LM doesn't suspect a thing, but Marifea insists she's right, because why would he be pressuring her to go see the doctors if he wasn't suspicious of something?? Eduarda says that it is logical to want to take her to the doctor simply because LM wants her to get well. Marifea insists that all he wants to do is dump her. Eduarda says the only solution would be to get married before going to the doctor. Marifea says that that wouldn't work, she needs to have LM and Rosaura make a final, definitive break.
     Mayrita and Leonarda are chatting. The little girl says that she loves LM very much, just like Rosy, even if they were unhappily married. The kids begin to imagine themselves grown up and married and very happy. Mayrita says that for her to be happy, Leobardo has to be very faithful to her. Leobardo asks what that means. Mayrita says that when she's a grown up lady she will explain it to him. She says that life will serve to teach her, and then explains what being unfaithful means!
     Imanol wakes from his coma, talks to Jimena, says he feels very bad and that Death wanted to take him, too bad he didn't die in the car accident because he's just totally useless to everybody. Jimena tells him to stop talking to save his strength. Adriana enters and Jimena tells her how sorry she is about what Imanol did to her. Adriana says she didn't come in to talk about that, but to talk about Ivan.
     Gabriel and LM are strolling the park hoping to meet Leobardo's grandmother and the baby. LM tells him that being close to Angeliquita is like having his own baby girl back...and voila! here comes the old lady with the baby. LM asks her if he can hold the baby. He holds her for a few seconds, talks baby talk, shows her off to Gabriel and hands her back to the old lady. He gives her his business card in case she needs anything, he's at her service. The old lady says thanks and LM and Gabriel leave. The old lady thinks to herself how strange it is for this young man to have such affection for this baby without a reason that his eyes are sad - she wonders what pain he carries in his heart???
     Sonia is at her house with Carlos the farmhand ..she's giving him his share of the money they got for the baby. She tells him how her mother has fallen in love with the baby and takes care of her and even takes her to the park. Carlos points out that this could be very dangerous, that somebody night recognize her, but Sonia objects that there's no danger, since so few people have seen her since she was born. Leobardo comes in, Carlos leaves, and Leobardo asks his mother who the man with the nasty face is...Sonia tells him that Carlos isn't nasty and packs him off to take a bath and do his homework.
     At the modeling agencvy, Silvano congratulates Rosaura on her efficiency. He tells her she's become a great assistant, the best he's ever had, and wants to invite her out to eat. She declines, but Silvano insists telling her that if she doesn't eat, she will get too thin, and the wind will take her away...'cause it's hurricane season!
     (Although personally I doubt that any wind could lift her off the ground, with those tremendous impants!). Finally Silvano says he'll take her to a new mall and he won't take no for an answer.
     The old lady asks Sonia for money to buy a stroller for the baby so she can take her walking (about time, the poor old lady was getting bursitis from carting that baby around!). Sonia is annoyed and says that it's only more bother.
     Luisana goes to visit LM to inform him that Rosaura is not happy because she can't stop thinking about the lost baby. LM responds that he doesn't believe her, because Rosaura prefers to be with Silvano. Luisana tries to convince him that nothing is going on between them. LM asks Luisana if she is sure of it, and Luisana says she is.
     Silvano and Rosaura go to the mall and window-shop. At the same time,the old lady with the baby enters a baby shop and says that she needs baby clothes and a stroller.
     Rosaura sees the baby shop and wants to enter, although Silvano says it's not a good idea, Rosaura insists, so they finally go in.
     At the hospital, Adriana tells Jimena that she wants to be very direct about things and asks her if she is still in love with Ivan. Jimena says that she is yes, still very much in love with Ivan. Adriana is saddened to learn this, and asks Jimena if she will try to get him back. Jimena says no, that if Adriana marries Ivan, she will also get married..Adriana is very surprised to hear this...and asks, who to? Guillermo arrives exactly on time and Jimena introduves him to Adriana as her intended husband! Which leaves Guillermo looking VERY SURPRISED. Jimena tells him she's decided to accept his offer of marriage. Guillermo is SUPERHAPPY!
     Back at the baby shop, Rosaura and the old lady are browsing through the clothes. Silvano sees the old lady and the baby and goes to say hello to her and the "beautiful baby" Rosaura comes up and asks Silvano to take her out of the store because it's messed up her head. When the old lady sees Rosaura she gets scared. Then Rosaura stares at the baby and says that...it's her daughter. Rosaura keeps insisting, but Silvano keeps telling her that the baby is the lady's granddaughter.
     The old lady confirms this, saying that her granddaughter's name is Angeliquita. Rosaura asks permission to hold the baby. The old lady hands over the baby and asks Rosaura if she lost a baby. Silvano says that it's a long, sad story. Rosaura is happy holding the baby. pregunta si ella perdio una bebe
     Ivan goes over to where Guillermo, Jimena and Adriana are standing and finds out about the marriage.
     LM tells Luisana all about Angeliquita and the feelings that this baby stirs in him.
     LM thinks that the baby may be his, but Luisana begs him not to torment himself further..this baby belongs to the lady that takes her for walks in the park!
     Ivan asks Jimena if she is going to marry Guillermo. Jimena says yes, and Guillermo says that he will always be there for her. Jimena says that she already knows that, because when she was in the clinic, he was always there. Then she says she wants to go visit LM - as they walk away, Guillermo insists that first they're going to get those big juicy hamburgers that he promised her! Ivan tells Adriana that he's going in to visit Imanol...but once he's alone in the room, he weeps for his lost cosita...!
     Rosaura is still holding the baby in her arms..the old lady asks why she is so sad, did her baby die? Silvano asks Rosaura to give the baby back to its grandmother, because all this is affecting very negatively. Rosaura gives back the baby and says that she is suffering terribly because she didn't know how to care for her baby.
     Then they finally leave the store. LM keeps telling Luisana about the baby and says that she even looks like Rosaura. He gives a detailed description, says she has beautiful eyes. LM also talks about Eduarda, who speaks so badly of Rosaura, he doesn't understand how he let her move into his house! Luisana tells LM that Eduarda has never had feelings for anybody... when they are interrupted by Eva's arrival...stating that she and LM have to have a very serious talk!!
     LM tells Eva that the only reason he can explain her disagreable presence there is that she has finally agreed to sign the divorce papers, but Eva says she has no intention of signing anything, that she's there to...LM cuts her off and says that he is not interested in anything she has to say, and she can now leave. Luisana tries to intervene also, and Eva tells her to stay out of what's not her business, this is a private conversation between her and LM. LM tells her he has no more patience left, she should leave, but Eva says she won't leave until he knows what kind of a dirty trick that Marifea Tovar is playing on him!
     In the fields of the ranch, Bruno and some workers are covering up a hole, talking about how dangerous it would be for someone to walk over it and fall in.
     Back at the mall, Rosaura laments that visiting that store and holding the baby made her even sadder than she was....she says that when her baby was born, she was so disturbed, she can't remember a thing, not even the smell of the baby. Silvano consoles her and tries to make her feel better. .
     Panchita goes looking for Bruno, singing among the vegetation. when suddenly...she falls right into the hole the workmen were trying to cover up! Panchita freaks out and starts yelling for someone to rescue her!
     Silvano begs Rosaura to forget about LM once and for all, his love is bad for her and she should give him the opportunity to let him help her forget so much pain -- the two of them can search for the baby. Rosaura replies that this is not the right moment or place to discuss such things, and she just wants to go home. She gets up and leaves, with Silvano trailing after her.
     Panchita is still trapped and yelling for help...calling for Bruno, but only Verdoso shows up! The parrot has a fine time making fun of her. Panchita begs the bird to help her and promises she will be very good to him and give him lots of yummy food.
     In intensive care, Adriana asks Ivan to talk to her about Jimena, but Ivan tells her that he doesn't want to talk about it now and leaves. Adriana tries to go after him, but Imanol calls her, telling her that he wants to ask her forgiveness before he dies.
     LM tells Eva to quit talking trash and explain what she means about Marifea faking it. Eva tells him that Marifea is tricking him by acting blind when she isn't!

     RACKEL'S SUMMARY 1/15/03 -ENGLISH VERSION
     Eva keeps insisting that Marifea can see but LM won't believe her. He doesn't want to hear Eva speak ill of her. Eva insists again that Marifea is faking it only to ensure that he stays by her side. Luisiana intervenes again but Eva shuts her up fast and tells her not to get involved. Then she asks LM to believe her.
     In the hospital Adriana and Imanol are still talking. He says that he feels very empty and that life isn't worth living like this. Adriana tries to find words to encourage him to live. Imanol admits that she is a very good person and he played very dirty with her. She asks him not to mention it anymore and just try to be calm.
     Eva begs LM to trust her - she is telling the truth this time. LM replies that she has to prove it, and all she can say is that unfortunately she doesn't have any proof. LM looks at her with disdain and tells her that she has become absolutely shameless. How dare she have the guts to say that Marifea is a faker when she was the one who tricked him into marrying her by passing off Gabriel's child as his?? Then he tells Eva to leave or he will call security to have her tossed out of the office, and that her attempt to put him against Marifea has failed. Eva yells that she will never give him the divorce so he can run off and marry Marifea. She'll only give up after she's dead! she shouts as she takes her furious leave of his office. Luisana asks LM if what Eva is saying could possibly be true....? LM says he doesn't know what to believe anymore, first Camelia faked her own death and then her amnesia, then Eva lied about her baby...Luisana suggests that either way he needs to investigate further and pay attention. She's interrupted by the arrival of Jimena and Guillermo. After they exchange greetings, LM invites her to come live with him at the apt. but Jimena affirms that she has no intention of being in proximity to Eduarda, who made her suffer so much. LM understands her feelings and proposes that he rent her a small apartment, but Jimena tells him not to worry about her, that she already has a place to live - Rosaura's house!
     In the Arismendi Estate's kitchen Bruno, Samuel and Caridad are discussing Rosaura's lost baby. Bruno says that he doesn't want to be pessimistic, but he doesn't think the baby will ever appear, and probably has died. The other two servants get upset and tell him not to say that even as a joke. The parrot flies in and tells Bruno that Panchita fell into a hole. Samuel and Caridad ask Bruno to get her out, and Bruno says they should leave her in there because she's such a gossip!
     LM, Jimena and Luisana arrive at Rosaura's house with a plan: they will hide LM in her bedroom where he can lie in wait for her. Although Luisana isn't too keenn on the idea, Jimena insists that the two of them do love each other and need to talk. LM hides in Rosaura's room. Bruno arrives and welcomes Jimena warmly. He politely tells Luisana that it's good to see her. Jimena discreetly leaves them alone and Bruno tells her that Panchita fell into a hole and asks her to help him get her out. Bruno thinks they'd have a chance to talk while doing it. Luisiana says no, while Bruno insists that they have to talk. She prefers to get comfy and take off her makeup...but Bruno tells her not to, she looks gorgeous with it on. He gets close to her and tells her her perfume smells nice and her red lips are so enticing...so enticing that he ends up kissing her..the kiss goes on and on, and finally Luisana breaks away saying that she can't do this, because she can't forget he caused her so much pain and anguish...and she runs away.
     Rodrigo visits Karina at the modeling agency. He asks if she's feeling better and has got over Max's death. Karina's answer is that she's resigned herself to accept it. Rodrigo invites her to have coffee, but she asks him to take her to the doctor and tells him of her fainting spells. They go off to the doctor.
     At Sonia's house, the grandmother says that even though she didn't have enough money, she got a stroller for Angeliquita and some clothing. Sonia thinks this is too much money to spend on someone who isn't even related to them.
     Leobardo asks who Angeliquita's real parents are. Sonia tells him that the mother is a poor crazy woman and the father must be a drunk. The old lady scolds Sonia - she shouldn't be saying such things to her son! The boy insists that his mother tell him the truth about the baby's parents, but she tells him not to bother her anymore, the baby doesn't belong to anyone. Sonia goes to her bedroom and Leobardo comments to his grandmother that it is very sad for Angeliquita not to have any parents. Rosaura arrives home and Samuel notes that she's back early. She tells him that Silvano gave her the afternoon off and she just wants to go to her room to be alone with her suffering.
     Entering her room, Rosaura is surprised to find Luis Mario and reproaches him for having entered her room again. LM replies that he learned that Jimena is living in her house and he just came to say thank-you. Rosaura cuts him off by saying that she's happy to help Jimena because she loves her like a sister. LM tells her that they have to talk..he takes her in his arms and tells her he loves to hold her like this...so close to his body..Rosaura tries to say something, but LM tells her to be quiet, and kisses her(while an entire verse of Pablo Montero's song 'Gata Salvaje" plays...ayyy! these two specialize in long kisses!)
     In the hospital, Ivan asks Adriana about Imanol's current condition and she tells him that he woke up and asked her to forgive him. Ivan wants to see him, but Adriana tells him that his mother is now with him, and maybe they can take advantage of being along to discuss Jimena. Adriana cries and asks Ivan to tell her the truth - Ivan says he doesn't want to deceive her and tells her clearly that he is upset that she's marrying somebody else, but Adriana can help him forget her and he wants to learn to love her because she's been so good to him and with her help he's certain that one day he will come to really love her.
     Rosaura's room should have caught fire by now, judging by the passionate kisses and heavy breathing! Rosaura weakly tries to free herself from these kisses, but LM isn't listening, and picks her up in his arms...and puts her down on the bed!
     (WOW! He's on fire!).
     Panchita is still stuck in the hole and wondering how she will ever manage to get out when she hears Bruno calling and starts shouting until he can locate her. Bruno tells her to stay calm, that he will find a way to help her out and gives her his hand...of course Bruno the idiot falls into the hole, too! Bruno blames Panchita for creating the situation and asks her how they'll get out now. Panchita says that he can help her out first and she will then pull him out. Bruno objects because Panchita is heavier than he is; wouldn't it be easier for her to help him get out first? Panchita gets offended and tells him he's not very gentlemanly in his manners...how dare he insinuate that she's fat?? But she tries to do it his way and they try to get him out first.The only thing that happens is that they both fall in again, with Panchita 'conveniently' falling right on top of Bruno! Bruno shoves her off him furiously and worries about how they'll ever get out of the hole. Panchita retorts that all he does is talk, talk, talk, and then says that she's afraid and grabs onto him like a leech and won't let go.
     At Sonia's house, the old lady tells the boy about meeting Silvano and a very pretty, very sad girl in the baby shop. Leobardo says that she must be Silvano's girlfriend. The old lady says that she was very upset to see the girl so sad, but when she saw Angeliquita she changed totally and held her and kissed her. The old lady thinks that the girl must have lost a baby and that's the reason for her sadness. They keep talking, and the old lady finally remembers where she saw Rosaura the first time...and says out loud "It's her!" running out of the room to tell Sonia what she just remembered. And Sonia is left open-mouthed when her mother tells her that she saw Angeliquita's mother! Sonia scolds her mother for not telling her this and also asks why Rosaura didn't recognize her when she saw her with the baby. The old lady replies that the girl is probably doing better mentally than she was when she gave her the baby to keep. Sonia gets very nervous and asks her mother a bunch of questions. The old lady says they should give the baby back to Rosaura but Sonia shouts that no way will they give back the baby!
     Rosaura's room is still on fire with passion (it's beginning to resemble the infamous cabin where Eva and Rosaura almost perished!) between the kisses and caresses Rosaura and LM are exchanging....LM starts taking off her top...(ay, mama!)
     But Rosaura reacts and gets off the bed. LM goes after her and says that these kisses show that she still loves him. Rosaura says she can't enjoy love while her baby is still missing. LM tries to insist, but Rosaura stands firm. Finally LM leaves and Rosaura...starts crying.
     Eva tells Valeria and Silvia that she went to see LM and tell him about the model's perfidy, but he wouldn't believe her. Eva is furious and swears she will find a way to unmask Marifea before LM's very eyes...
     Sonia and her mother are still arguing. Sonia says that if she says anything, she could wind up in jail again and the old lady gets scared, she doesn't want to see her daughter back in jail. Although she is very sorry for the mother of this baby, she would be even sorrier to see her daughter back behind bars, so she agrees to do what Sonia wants.
     At the hospital, Karina and Rodrigo meet up with Adriana and Ivan. Karina explains that she was there to have some routine tests done and decided to ask about Imanol while she was there.
     Rosaura tells Tia Claudia about LM's visit, and how they were kissing and how she barely escaped making love with him. Tia Claudia asks if they did actually make love, and Rosaura explains that it didn't happen because she managed to resist just in time.
     LM knocks at Marifea's door and asks if he can come in. She fixes herself up and tells him to enter. LM tells her that Eva visited him and Marifea nervously asks if it was about the divorce.LM says no, that she came to tell him that she had seen Marifea and wanted to know why neither she nor Eduarda saw fit to tell him about Eva's visit. Marifea denies that Eva was ever there. LM keeps scrutinizing her face as if he were trying to discover something, then he says that Eva swore that Marifea got her sight back. Marifea immediately replies that she was lying. LM waves his hand directly in front of Marifea's eyes, but she doesn't react. Then he asks her if perhaps she isn't the one who is lying? LM tells Marifea plainly that he wants to find out who's the liar, either her or Eva, and Marifea almost trembling with nerves says that Eva is the liar, she's always been a lying nasty witch. Marifea extends her hand to touch LM, but he moves just out of her reach. LM continues by saying that she needs to prove her blindness by going to the doctor. Marifea sits on the bed and starts with her litany of fears, of pain of disappointment, of tests, etc. etc. LM says that he would be very hurt if she turned out to be another liar like Eva and that he hopes that she's not playing tricks on him because if that were the case, her lies would cause him to forget all the affection he has for her.
     LM leaves the room and Marifea goes hysterical saying that Eva is an idiot who won't rest until she finds proof of her lies and that now more than ever she has to be a great actress otherwise she will lose LM forever!
     Jimena goes to see Rosaura and confesses that she was the one who let LM in because he wanted to thank her, but Rosaura corrects her: that wasn't what LM was looking for, he wanted to kiss her and make love to her. Jimena asks if anything happened between them and Rosaura tells her no. Jimena repeats that her brother loves her and Rosaura echoes her by saying that he brother Ivan loves Jimena, too. They discuss her marrying Guillermo without love. Finally, they get around to discussing the missing baby and how guilty Rosaura feels about that.
     Panchita and Bruno are still trapped in the hole, and she's very scared because nobody's come to rescue them. Bruno instead is just very angry. Panchita yaps and yaps and hugs Bruno and says that he has to defend her from ghosts. Panchita says that she has a bad feeling that they will end up staying in the hole for 50 years until they are both old and she starts to imagine what that would be like:here comes another Panchita fantasy! When she comes back to reality, Panchita starts to try because they won't be found until they are old and grey, but Bruno cuts her off and tells her to stop talking like an idiot and gets up. Panchita asks him where he's going and Bruno says that he's going to find a way out, she asks where and he says that they can find a way out. Panchita grabs him by the leg and yells that he shouldn't do it, and Bruno starts walking with her still hanging on to his leg.
     The old lady is very nervous,alone in the living room of Sonia's house, she has the business card LM gave her in her hands and keeps looking at it, asking herself if this man could possibly know the baby's mother...she doesn't know what to do. Finally she decides, and dials his number. LM answers and asks who's speaking, two or three times, but the old lady doesn't answer.

LOTTY'S UNIVISION SUMMARY TRANSLATION 1/16/03
     Marifea and Eduarda are deep in conversation. Marifea says that LM asked her to go to the specialist and it’s probably because Eva managed to plant doubts in his mind about her blindness. Eduarda reassures her that she doesn’t need to worry because no one is going to be able to discern the truth. Eduarda repeats that she will support Marifea in everything.
     Sonia argues with her mother to find out who she was trying to phone. When she finally snatches the card out of the old lady’s grasp, Sonia discovers that LM’s phone number is on it. She threatens to put her mother in a nursing home for decrepit old people if she ever contacts this man. The old lady is suitably frightened.
     Rosaura recalls the incredible kisses that she exchanged with LM up to the point where he picked her up in his arms and carried her to the bed. She gets up and picks up the phone to call him.
     Eduarda promises Marifea that she will speak to LM about how his demands are having a negative effect on her. The phone rings and no one’s talking on the other line: Eduarda guesses (correctly) that it’s Rosaura and lies, telling her that Luis Mario is busy making love with Marifea after a romantic dinner featuring lots of champagne….Rosaura, upset, hangs up and the two witches on the other end laugh imagining the jealousy that Rosaura must be feeling right now! In fact, Rosaura believed Eduarda’s lies and is busy tormenting herself imaging what the happy couple are doing in bed.
     Bruno’s still trapped with Panchita in the hole, but she’s happy because she can play with him, taking advantage of the situation to embrace him (in her usual comic manner). Bruno begins to remember when he first met Panchita. He laughs remembering the incident where she was dressed as a nun, and shares these memories with Panchita, they laugh and joke about old times.
     Rosaura complains to her aunt about the situation she’s in. She also tells her what Eduarda said on the phone and suffers remembering all the things LM did when they were married…but now he’s with Marifea and is loving her. She cries and regrets the moment LM and Marifea met, and when she lost her baby. She cries that she has nothing left in her life, not LM or the baby that could have united them for the rest of their lives. Her aunt makes her understand that Eduarda must have lied in order to make her suffer.
     Luis Mario again asks Eduarda if Marifea can see and of course Eduarda replies with a resounding NO and advises that he shouldn’t force her to visit the doctor because this would be a torture for Marifea.
     Luis Mario tells her that Jimena has already left the clinic and is living in their old house with Rosaura. Eduarda, irritated, asks why Jimena chose to go there. LM replies that Jimena is now a legal adult and can live anywhere she pleases. And he adds that he hopes that she and Ivan can manage to get back together, so at least they can find some happiness.
     Rosauara and Claudia pray that God will allow the baby to return so that Rosaura will have some consolation for all her unhappiness. Meanwhile, Sonia considers the possibility that LM might be willing to pay good money to locate the baby.
     Claudia asks why breakfast hasn’t been served yet and where is Panchita? Samuel replies that it might be possible that Panchita and Bruno spent the night together because nobody has seen either of them….Down in the hole, Panchita and Bruno find a ladder and she climbs it to see if they can get out that way…..
     LM is talking to his mother, reporting that there still isn’t any news on the missing baby…when Eva appears and LM makes an insulting comment on her persistence. Eva tells him not to be offensive, she came to beg his forgiveness and confess that the baby wasn’t his, but that she only did it to keep him near her…and since they’re still legally married, they deserve to give each other a second chance. He laughs and tells her she’s crazy, throws her out, telling her he never loved her at all nor will he ever. Eva says ok, but she wants the answer to one last question: Does he love Marifea? He replies NO! and she leaves laughing.
     Marifea arrives at the modeling agency where Anais helps her. She waits for Silvano while Anais goes off and leaves her alone in the office. So she picks up a magazine…and Rosaura comes in and sees her and wonders if she can actually see or if she’s just pretending to read….Rosaura continues thinking about it as she goes out of the office and Karina asks her what’s going on. Rosaura says that nothing happened, she just thought she saw something but she’s not sure, and she was probably mistaken, anyway. Rosaura goes back to Marifea and asks if she’d like a coffee. Marifea of course starts playing “blind girl” again and Rosaura asks her if she was looking at the magazine’s pictures, which Marifea of course denies, saying that Rosaura must be crazy if she thinks blind people can read, she certainly must be as crazy now as she was when she lost her baby. Rosaura leaves the room without saying a word, while Marifea laughs to herself.
     Panchita manages to reach a point where she opens a door that leads to a men’s gym dressing room. All the men ask what she’s doing there and Panchita says to herself that she’s landed in Paradise, “Lord, what hunks!” Panchita is superexcited seeing all these men and starts touching them, saying that she’s about to faint from seeing so many macho men all in one place!
     Jimena informs Eduarda that she is very happy to be where she is, and that she will not accompany her anywhere. Eduarda yells at her and tells her to get ready because she’s taking her away. Jimena states that she isn’t going anywhere and will stay there. Eduarda pulls her and Jimena rebels, insulting Eduarda who wants to slap her but is held back by the servant. Eduarda starts calling Jimena names and insulting her until Claudia comes in and has her thrown out of the house.
     In a supermarket, Sonia wonders if LM would be willing to pay information about the baby and asks what would happen if she paid a visit to Luis Mario…and smiles.
     Rosaura is still at the agency when Silvano appears and she tells him that Marifea is there. He affectionately greets Marifea, who tells him she came to discuss "Rosaura the savage" and he says that she shouldn’t call her that. Marifea repeats it,saying that it upsets her to know that he’s dating “the savage”, but she asks him to take her far away and he agrees that he’d like for the two of them to go far away, but he can’t help Marifea with that idea.
     Gabriel is with LM. They are discussing the feelings LM experienced when he saw the baby in the park. Karina’s mother comes to meet her so they can go get the test results at the hospital.
     Bruno explains what happened with Panchita, and she also tells her version.
     Marifea calls Silvano a playboy and asks how it can be possible that he hasn’t managed to snare la gata yet, since no woman has ever resisted his advances. He gets a phone call and runs off to a meeting after saying good-bye to her.
     Sonia’s mother is crying with the baby, explaining that she can’t return her to her real mother because then she’d be locked up in a nursing home. Leobardo comes in and suggests that they search for the baby’s real parents so the baby can grow up happy, but his grandmother says that they can’t do such a thing.
     Marifea gets up, takes the phone and calls LM. Using a very affectionate tone, she tells him that she went to the modeling agency to discuss business affairs and asks him to come pick her up.
     At the hospital, Karina and her mother are waiting for the test results. The doctor comes in and tells them that they will have to re-do all the tests. Karina is frightened and asks if she has a fatal disease, but the doctor doesn’t want to say anything about that possibility.
     Anais informs Marifea of LM’s arrival and that Rosaura is on her way with her coffee. Rosaura brings in the coffee and Marifea tells her she doesn’t want it anymore since LM has come to pick her up. Rosaura says fine she’ll leave, but Anais pushes her, causing her to spill coffee all over Marifea. Marifea starts screaming that she’s been burned, tells LM that Rosaura is evil and other nasty things that make her look like Rosaura's victim while LM just stares at Rosaura.

RACKEL'S UNIVISION SUMMARY FRIDAY 1/17/03
     Marifea insists that Rosaura burned her on purpose and Anais supports Marifea's version of events. Rosaura denies any evil intent and says that Anais was the one that pushed her from behind; of course Anais denies this.Marifea asks LM to take her away because Rosaura hates her and wants to take advantage of her blindness to hurt her. Rosaura tells her that she doesn't hate her, she only feels pity for her, and it was all an accident caused by Anais. Silvano arrives and asks what happened. Marifea hysterically tells him that Rosaura burned her and that he should fire Rosaura.
     At the doctor's office, Karina insists that the doctor tell her what disease she has, but the doctor refuses and answers that until they have the new test results, she can't give her any kind of diagnosis, because the first results may have had some errors and the doctor wants to be sure before saying anything. Despite Karina's insistence, the doctor stands firm and doesn't say a word.
     At the agency, Marifea is still having hysterics, screaming that Rosaura burned her and that she should be fired. LM tries to calm her down, telling her it was all just an accident as he tries to take her out of the office. Anais leaves at the same time they do.
     Left alone, Silvano asks Rosaura to tell him the truth about what happened, and she tells him that it was an accident and asks him if he's going to fire her. Silvano starts laughing and tells her that of course he won't! Rosaura thanks him and tell him that she's going to get somebody to clean up the mess. In the hallway, she meets up with Anais and tells her not to run away, that she isn't stupid and she's figured out it was all a set-up between Marifea and Anais to make her look bad. Anais starts out denying it, but then she admits it and says that she hates Rosaura for taking away her job since now she's working in a lower position. But she warns Rosaura that she will now make her life at the agency impossible. Rosaura unsheathes her claws and gives her a tremendous slap telling her, "this is so you'll learn why my nickname is Gata Salvaje - I know how to claw and fight to defend myself against witches without brooms like you!" Rosaura takes off, leaving Anais to massage her face.
     Marifea and LM have left the agency, but she continues with her sobbing fit (she cries so much it's annoying!). She wants LM to understand that Rosaura is a nasty person. LM doesn't believe it, but she keeps insisting so much that LM tells her to just calm down and stop thinking about Rosaura. Marifea's answer is to embrace him and tell him that he just doesn't understand how much she loves him, and she doesn't want to lose him to Rosaura's plots to separate them. She reminds him that he now belongs to her, and that he has an obligation to be with her. Then she tells him that Rosaura is crazy. (But I think she's the crazy!) Rosaura says that she's sure that Marifea and Anais agreed to put on "a show" for LM and Silvano, but she's not going to let Anais do her any damage.
     Karina cries because she's afraid of what the new test results might show, but MJ consoles her and tells her to think positive. The nurse comes in and tells them to go into the lab, since everything is ready for the new tests to be performed. MJ accompanies her inside.
     Adriana chats with her Aunt Mercedes about the son that Mercedes' father took away from her and says that the chances of finding him again are very slim or not at all. Ivan comes by to tell them the great news - Imanol's going to make it!
     Adriana says she's going to see him and her Aunt says that she's been so good about forgiving him for what he did to her. Adriana leaves and Mercedes takes immediate advantage to suggest to Ivan that he should ask Adriana to marry him.
     In Imanol's room he and Adriana go over the same old topics, "thanks for your forgiveness, you're very good...Don't speak, rest, you must recover".
     As Adriana says good-bye, Imanol asks her if she plans to report him to the police and Adriana says she won't because that wouldn't solve anything, and all she wants to do is forget it ever happened. Imanol replies that she is so beautiful and so good that he's afraid he may fall in love with her!
     Karina and MJ arrive home and Karina says she won't be calm until she gets the test results. MJ makes a list of all the terrible things that have happened, and says that God can't keep punishing her by sending her an illness. Rodrigo arrives and MJ leaves them alone. Rodrigo is very happy, but when Karina tells him that she may have something serious, he gets very worried,but he tells her that she can always rely on him for anything.
     Rosaura's still at the agency, remembering the day she first met Angeliquita. She cries and begs the Virgin Mary to keep her baby safe and one day let her be found.
     At the Arizmendi apartment, LM says good-bye to Eduarda and Marifea. Marifea asks him for a kiss, which she gets...on her forehead. After LM leaves, Marifea tells Eduarda that LM's coldness is very worrying...Eduarda asks what happened at the agency with Rosaura, and Marifea tells her the story. Then she decides she must call Silvano immediately so that he can run over to the apartment. In the beginning Silvano says no because he doesn't want to meet up with LM, but finally Marifea convinces him by saying that LM's not there and won't be back until that night.
     Mercedes keeps blabbing to Ivan about how convenient marrying her niece would be for him, but Ivan replies that they are just getting to know each other and it's not wise to rush things. Mercedes insists, but Ivan asks her to please not pressure him. Mercedes replies that marriage to Adriana would make him very happy.
     Silvano arrives at the apartment and is met by Eduarda, who says she'll get Marifea for him. She goes into Marifea's room and tells her Silvano's arrived. Eduarda also comments on how extremely good-looking Silvano is. Marifea laughs and asks her if she likes him, and Eduarda replies that any girl would like such a handsome man, but she was just making a comment, not to take her seriously. Marifea says not to worry, she knows that Silvano is very handsome.
     They go into the living room, where Eduarda leaves them alone to talk. Marifea starts talking badly about Rosaura, about how she did burn her on purpose, she's a nasty girl, etc.etc. Silvano can't believe that she made him come all the way over to her apt just to hear such stupidities. Marifea gets angry and tells him she expected him to be on her side since they were once married. Silvano doesn't let her go on with that idea, he tells her straight out that they've been divorced for a long time and she shouldn't be jealous of him and should just leave Rosaura in peace.
     LM goes to the agency to talk to Rosaura and she says she hopes that he at least believes that she didn't burn Marifea on purpose. LM tells her he believes her. Then Rosaura tells him to please leave, because his duty is to stay with Marifea, but LM replies that no other woman, not even Marifea, will ever be able to fill his life.
     LM tries to kiss her but she pushes him away and asks him to leave.
     Mayrita and Leobardo arrive at the Hacienda Arizmendi where Panchita receives them and says that Mercedes is already waiting for them. Leobardo wants to know why Panchita wears such ugly decorations in her hair. Panchita calls him an impertinent child and they run laughing away from Panchita. Samuel arrives and Panchita worriedly asks him if he thinks her hair ornaments are too much, trashy, tacky, etc. and he answers no to each question. He tells Panchita that her ornaments are part of her personality, leaving her very happy. She swears she loves him and covers his face with kisses (and red lipstick!).
     (The next scene is very strange,it doesn't make any sense, I couldn't understand it and I think they just used it for filler):
     Gabriel is drinking coffee in a coffee shop and LM arrives, Gabriel asks where he disappeared for the last 3 hours, and LM tells him he went to the agency to pick up Marifea and take her home,and then went back to the agency to talk to Rosaura. (At the same time, LM is making signs to someone off-camera as if he wanted someone to come closer) while he tells Gabriel he also went by the park to see if he could meet the old lady and the baby. Gabriel repeats what he just said and then comments: 'Don't tell me you went to the park again" while LM continues to makes signs with his hands,) Gabriel doesn't finish his sentence, and then turns around to see who LM is talking to; he asks LM if he wants anything, LM says he wants a coffee. Then Gabriel asks him if he already met the baby's mother and LM says no, he only met the old lady and Leobardo, who happens to be Rosaura's sister's Mayrita's best friend.
     Jimena and Guillermo are walking in the park when he tells her he's sure they'll be very happy, she replies that he's such a good person that he deserves to be very happy. Guillermo asks her if she will ever be able to forget Ivan, and she says she'll do her best, but he has to give her some more time. Guillermo tells her she can have all the time she wants and kisses her. After the kiss, Jimena sees Ivan's face and says his name, which upsets Guillermo. She says she's sorry and he says that if she's not totally sure about marrying him, then they shouldn't because it's an important commitment. Jimena answers that she is no longer an immature child and promises that she would never regret marrying him. They kiss again.
     Eva, Valeria and Silvia arrive and park in front of MJ's house. Eva orders Silvia and Valeria to get inside through a window and go through the house until they find Max's letter. They unwillingly leave the car to do the deed. Inside, Rodrigo is still consoling Karina when MJ interrupts and asks what he's still doing there. Karina defends him and Rodrigo tells MJ that he really loves Karina and nobody will ever love her daughter like he does. Silvia and Valeria enter Karina's room through the window and start looking for the famous letter.
     At the agency, Luisiana and Rosaura are having a friendly chat about Luisana's new modeling career, and Luisana says that despite her great success, her heart is empty - she doesn't have Bruno's love, just like Rosaura doesn't have LM's love.
     Rosaura points out that she herself refused LM's love. Luisana advises her not to punish herself for losing the baby. Rosaura remembers seeing Angeliquita and tells Luisana about her.
     Eva is getting desperate because she hasn't seen Silvia and Valeria haven't come back out yet. Luisana says good-by to Rosaura and leaves. Rosaura gets a call from LM (She answers the phone by saying 'Silvanooooo's Office!") LM starts telling her all about the baby he met and how she made him feel. Rosaura tells him that she also met a baby. LM invites her to go with him to meet Angeliquita so they can both imagine that she's their lost baby.
     Silvia and Valeria don't find any letters and decide to leave, but as they do, they make noise...and MJ and Rodrigo, out in the living room, hear them! They burst into the room and see Silvia and Valeria trying to get out through the window.
     Rodrigo grabs them and Karina says that she's sure they were there to steal Max's letter, which she pulls out from a drawer. MJ threatens to call the police and have them taken away as petty thieves. Valeria begs her not to do that.
     But Karina says she's tired of all this, to hold them down tight because she herself is going to call the police.
     Eva thinks that something happened to Silvia and Valeria because they're taking so long to come out. That's when Eva sees a police car pull up to the house. Inside, Valeria is still begging them to let her go and swears she's not a thief.
     The police officers enter and Rodrigo, Karina and MJ accuse Silvia and Valeria of being thieves that entered their house through a window.
     LM and Rosaura are still talking about this baby, and LM asks Rosaura to go with him to meet the baby, but Rosaura tells him she prefers to see the baby alone, because being with him just causes her pain, and she hangs up the phone.
     The cops take Valeria and Silvia to their car. Eva watches the whole thing and is very frightened. Rodrigo, MJ and Karina make fun of the two girls that have been taken off to jail.
     At the Hacienda, Mayrita and Leobardo have finished doing their homework,and Leobardo starts saying good-bye, when Mayrita asks him to bring Angeliquita to her house without anyone knowing so that Rosaura can see the baby. Mayrita assures him that the chaffeur can pick him up and bring him home.Hesitant at first, Leobardo finally agrees to do what Mayrita wants. He goes back home with the chauffeur, but Sonia discovers him trying to sneak out with the baby and asks him where he thinks he's going? Leobardo just stares at her!

RACKEL'S UNIVISION SUMMARY 1/20/03
     Marifea thanks LM for the delicious dinner he prepared for them. She's surprised that he's such a good cook. LM modestly demurs and calls Eduarda to help get her to bed, but Marifea gets flirty with him, asks him to put her to bed....and begs him to join her. LM (the dummy) starts swapping spit (pretty loudly) then he asks her to just leave things as they are for now. Marifea is confused and he leaves the room. Left alone, Marifea paces like a caged lion.
     Silvano and Rosaura arrive at her house ; Silvano asks her why she's saying goodbye without inviting him in. She tells him that it wasn't an easy day for her, she's tired and wants to rest. Silvano asks her if she'd like to take a trip to L.A. with him. Crying, Rosaura replies that she has to stay where she is, suffering, because that's what she deserves for losing her baby. Silvano suggests that she should start to consider the possibility that her baby will never reappear.
     Sonia again asks Leobardo where he thought he was going with the baby; Leo says he just wanted to take her for a walk. Of course Sonia doesn't believe him since it's dark out and nobody should be out on the streets at that hour. She takes him by the arm and demands to know the truth, the little boy gets scared and begs her not to hit him, while Sonia keeps yelling at him to tell her the truth.
     Silvano and Rosaura discuss the incident with Marifea at the agency. Silvano comforts her and reassures her, telling her just to forget the entire episode. He adds that if one day she ever divorces Patricio, the two of them and the baby would move somewhere far away. Rosaura goes into her house and Silvano leaves.
     Since Leobardo isn't willing to talk, Sonia keeps shouting at him and threatens to beat the daylights out of him and goes up to her room to find a belt. Leo takes advantage of her absense to run and get to the elevator. Sonia returns to the living room with a belt in her hand, but can't find the kid. Then she starts shouting for him, telling him that if he hides from her he'll get a worse beating. Hearing all the noise, the grandmother comes downstairs and wants to know what's going on, why the door is open, while Sonia realizes that Leo escaped with the baby. She runs after them, but Leo's already going down inthe elevator. Sonia is furious that she couldn't catch Leo and swears he'll pay for this. Her mother forbids her to beat the boy and tries to take the belt away from her, but Sonia evades her attempts and tells her that she has no right to tell her how to bring up her son. Then she takes off running for the stairs, with her mother in pursuit, shouting that she mustn't hurt the boy.
     Eva's home alone, drinking and thinking about how the cops arrested Silvia and Valeria. She says to herself that she will go to the station and post bail so they can be freed...but before she does that.....she picks up her cell and dials.
     Back at LM's apartment, Marifea tells Eduarda she is absolutely desperate because it's already 11PM and LM hasn't returned yet, she's convinced that he's coming home late deliberately when she's already asleep. The phone rings and Marifea answers.It's Eva, who greets her by saying "Hello Fake Blind Person!" and goes on to tell her that LM only belongs to her and that she will soon find proof enough to prove her deception to LM. Eva adds that Marifea is a piece of trash that anybody could pick up...Marifea retorts that indeed, Eva is that kind of trash...the kind of trash that tried to saddle LM with a son that wasn't his, so who is she to say anything about her, and she hangs up the phone, telling Eduarda the caller was Eva and she put her in her place.
     Sonia tries to grab Leo at the exit door, but she slips and falls and the little boy takes off running. Her mother tries to help her up, but Sonia tells her to go after the boy and the baby. The old lady runs out and shouts for Leo, but she can't see him anywhere, so she goes back into the building. Leo's hiding behind a car and tells Angeliquita that he can't go back home because his mom will tan his hide with the belt. He notes that the chauffeur got tired of waiting for him so they'll have to walk all the way to Mayrita's house.
     Rosaura and Claudia are discussing Silvano's hypothesis on the missing hijita:maybe she never will be found. Claudia doesn't know what to say, but sometimes one can do nothing but accept God's will. Claudia hugs her and tries to console her. She speaks of a rainbow...and maybe at the end of this rainbow she will find her baby. Leobardo's walking down the dark streets with Angelilquita in his arms, while we hear Claudia's voice saying to Rosaura that only God can decide our destinies and maybe one day he will put her daughter back on her path.
     Sonia got hurt when she fell and her mother has to help her get back into bed. Sonia blames the old lady for Leo's disappearance, since she might have told him that she had met the baby's mother and so he decided to go out to look for her.
     The old lady denies everything, and Sonia tells her that if the police discover what they did, both of them will go to jail!
     At a bar, Gabriel and LM are talking about Rosaura. Gabriel insists that if LM is separating himself from her, it means he doesn't love her anymore.
     LM reminds him that Gabriel isn't the best one to make that coment, since he left the road open for Max to marry Minerva. Gabriel replies that was different, since Minerva didn't love him anymore but Rosaura is still in love with LM. Luis Mario asks why a person can't have it all in life...Gabriel says that llife is roulette, you win some, you lose some, and LM says he's on a losing streak. Leo keeps walking down the street and at an intersection Silvano sees him and yells out his name. Leo starts to run, Silvano parks his car and runs after the kids. He reaches them and asks Leo what he's doing out at such a late hour of the night and carrying the baby. The kid tells Silvano of the plan he and Mayrita dreamed up of bringing Rosaura the baby to cheer her up.
     Silvano tells him that he's very very far from Mayrita's house and Leo admits he's very tired. Silvano decides that they could take Angeliquita to Rosaura's house the next day, with his mother's permission, takes the baby and tells the boy he'll take him home now.
     Mayrita enters Rosaura's bedroom and tells her about the plan that she and Leo had. But it didn't work because the chauffeur didn't wait long enough for Leo to come downstairs with the baby.Rosaura thanks her for planning such a lovely surprise and tells her she will meet the baby another day. Mayrita asks if one day she'll marry Silvano and Rosaura says that although she's technically still married to Patricio maybe one day she will marry Silvano. Mayrita asks how she could do that if LM is the daddy of her baby...how can she marry anyone else? Rosy's excuse is that LM has an obligation to stay with another woman.
     Behind bars in the jail, Valeria is feeling hopeless and is terrified at the idea of spending another night in jail. Silvia reassures her that Eva won't allow that to happen.
     Valeria keeps on moaning and complaining anyway, that she'll now have an arrest record, that she should have told Eva no, etc.etc. until Silvia yells at her to shut up!
     Eva shows up and Silvia asks her what took so long. Eva replies that she had to wait to avoid being suspected, and demands that they don't tell the police that she was in fact their accomplice. Then she asks them for the letter, which Silvia tells her they weren't able to find, so Max's letter with his information is still in the hands of the "bastard daughter".
     Silvano scolds Leo telling him it's very dangerous to be out on the streets at night and his mother must be worried so he'll take them home. But the boy begs him not to take him home.
     Still drinking at the bar, LM and Gabriel are still talking about their lives. Gabriel mentions his new role as a dad, while LM speaks of his missing daughter, Minerva, Rosaura, Eva not signing the divorce papers, etc. etc.
     Leobardo confesses to Silvano that his mother hits him with a belt. Silvano shocked says that's illegal and they can jail her for that if anyone finds out. Leobardo is upset by this statement and tells him not to say that, he doesn't want his mother to go to jail and pleads with him not to say anything to anybody about the whippings he gets.
     Mayrita and Rosaura are still talking about LM's commitment to another woman, and Mayrita says that it isn't right for the baby to have another daddy instead of LM. Rosaura callously replies that in that case she'll just tell the baby that Silvano is her father. Mayrita gets upset at the idea of such a lie because God doesn't like it when you lie (the little girl's smarter than the big girl, huh??) while Rosaura insists the baby would never know it's a lie because she would make her believe that Silvano is her real, and only daddy. Then Rosaura says maybe she'll never get her baby back.
     Silvano tells Leo not to worry, he won't say a word, he'll talk to his mother after leaving Leo at Rosaura's house. Leo is happy with this idea.Rosaura sends Mayrita to bed. LM gets home and Eduarda's waiting, scolding him because he isn't paying enough attention to Marifea, who needs it. LM doesn't pay any attention to Eduarda, either and starts to go to his room when Eduarda suddenly asks him about Silvano and his relationship with 'la salvaje". LM replies that he thinks that Silvano cares for her. Left alone, Eduarda admits to herself that she finds Silvano attractive.
     Rosaura walks through her house and meets up with Samuel. They start to talk and Rosaura confesses that this house must be cursed because in it she was very unhappy with LM, lost her first baby and now this baby.
     Eduarda wakes up Marifea to tell her that LM's finally home.
     Rosy goes into her room, while Samuel opens the door for Silvano, Leobardo and the baby. Samuel wants to know where Silvano found the baby, and calls Rosaura to advise her that Silvano's downstairs with a baby and she runs downstairs, asking if it's her baby. She gets to the living room and asks Silvano where he found her, if this is her baby.
     LM is showering and thinking about where his baby could possibly be. Marifea tells Eduarda that maybe LM was in a bar drinking with Gabriel, but they must have been talking about Rosaura; she wonders if he will ever be able to forget her. Marifea thinks that as long as she fakes blindness and the baby stays lost, LM and Rosaura will never get back together.
     Rosaura keeps asking hysterically if the baby is her daughter and finally Silvano tells her no, she's Leo's sister. Rosaura cries and asks Silvano to let her hold the baby. Once in her arms, Rosaura starts cooing at the baby and then asks Silvano what he's supposed to be doing with this baby. SIlvano doesn't answer. LM gets out of the shower and is putting shaving cream on his face when Rosaura's face appears in the mirror. He wonders if she's thinking of him right now as he's thinking of her. Samuel tells Rosaura that Leo is in the kitchen with Panchita who's preparing some warm milk for him. Rosaura says to Silvano that they should do something for the kids if it's true that their mother beats Leo. (It seems Silvano confessed this).Silvano says he will go and talk to Leo's mother about this. He asks Rosaura to look after the kids while he talks to Sonia. Rosaura agrees.
     Silvano goes to Sonia's house and asks her to speak with him. In her house, Rosaura enters her bedroom with Angeliquita in her arms, puts her down on the bed and tells her that she's stolen her heart and how she wishes that she were her baby, and keeps cooing all over her.
     Sonia comes out to talk to Silvano and wants to know what he wants from her. Without any beating around the bush, Silvano informs her that mistreating a minor is a criminal offense in this country and asks her who gave her the right to beat a child with a belt. Sonia opens her eyes wide with fright.
     Panchita's half-asleep and complains that they woke her up. But then she wants to know what's going on and since Leo doesn't want to tell her anything, she takes away his glass of milk and drinks it herself.
     Sonia defends herself by saying she doesn't hit anyone, but Silvano accuses her of lying, that he just found the boy running away with his sister. Sonia says it's just the boy's imagination, that Leobardo has a good imagination and made it all up. Silvano insists that the boy didn't invent anything and that if he brings charges against her not only will she lose custody of her kids, she will also go to jail.
     The old lady gets very frightened and begs Silvano not to report her daughter to the authorities. Silvano asks about the kids' father. Sonia and her mother exchange frightened looks.
     In her room, Rosaura is chatting with Leo and tells him that he's got a very pretty baby sister. She wants to know if his mother doesn't love Angeliquita, if she misteates the baby the way she mistreats him. The boy says that no, she doesn't, because she doesn't love the baby, either. Rosaura then asks why and the boy hesitates and finally says that the baby is not his mother's child.
     Rosaura is confounded by this news!

 

RACKEL'S SUMMARY IN ENGLISH 1/21/03

Author:maritere (cache-rc08.proxy.aol.com)
Date: 01-22-03 12:13 PST
     Surprised, Rosaura asks Leo if he's sure that his mother isn't Angeliquita's mother...and if that's true, who is the baby's mother?
     Gabriel and Minerva meet at a bar and he asks her what she plans to do with her life. She has no idea, she doesn't want to think about it. Gabriel proposes that she take care of his son.
     Leo lies and says that Angeliquita IS his mother's baby, but when she cries his mother gets nervous and yells at her. Rosaura wonders how anyone could yell at such a beautiful baby; she hugs her and cuddles her.
     Luis Mario, sitting on the sofa at his apt, is remembering Rosaura and the day they said goodbye with a long kiss. ...Marifea interrupts his train of thought by sitting down next to him and draping herself all over him, saying he smells nice. He says he just took a bath. She asks him to kiss her, he kisses her on the forehead which makes her mad and she says so; she can't understand why he rejects her advances. LM replies that he's just a passing fancy for her, and anyway he will never be able to fall in love with her. She gets to her feet and states that it's not just a passing fancy on her part, sits back down, takes his hands and tells him she's in love with him.
     Panchita and Samuel are talking in the kitchen; she makes fun of Leobardo's name and also asserts that Rosaura has a screw loose,Samuel scolds her. Panchita wonders where Rosaura's baby is.
     Leobardo is scared, thinking that his mother will give him a good beating when he goes back home, but Rosaura tells him not to worry, that Silvano went to talk to her and he won't let his mother mistreat him. Leobardo smiles, relieved. Sonia tells Silvano that her husband abandoned her years ago and he then asks her how she managed to have a baby recently if her husband's been gone so long? Sonia lies, saying that she and her husband 'Sergio" almost reconciled last year and that's how she got pregnant, but he left again when he found out. Silvano says he wants to talk to this "Sergio" but Sonia says that would be impossible because he disappeared and probably went to Tijuana and she has no way to contact him. Silvano then says he wants to talk about Leobardo because he thinks her mistreatment of her son is wrong. Sonia shouts that she doesn't mistreat him, but sometimes he needs strong discipline. So then Silvano lectures her on how to care for children.
     Gabriel and Minerva are still discussing his baby and she tells him she dreamed about having Max's children. Gabriel suggests that life is giving the chance to be a mother to his son. Finally Minerva agrees to take care of his baby, on the condition that he doesn't talk about love with her any more. Gabriel accepts, (but says to himself that he will win her heart again, because he loves her and wants her to be a mother for his son).
     Karina can't sleep so she gets up and gets a drink of water. MJ hears her and also gets up to see what's going on. Karina confesses that she is very worried and upset and wants to know the outcome of the tests. MJ tells her to think positive and smile at life. That she needs to forget about her unhappy love for Max. Rosaura tells Leo that if he's sleepy he can rest on her bed, but the boy doesn't want to, he's nervous and is waiting for Silvano to return to find out if his mother will punish him or not.
     Silvano bids goodbye to Sonia and her Mama, with a final warning: if she beats Leobardo again, he will report her to the police. The old lady is very frightened and begs him not to report her daughter to the police, she'l make sure that Sonia doesn't punish him anymore...Sonia interrupts to say that she also promises not to mistreat the boy any more. Sonia asks where her kids are, Silvano tells her that they're at a friend's house. Silvano leaves and the old lady cries...Sonia turns around to look at her and goes close to her, grabs her by the arms and screams at her that this situation is all her fault, because she became friends with this guy. The old lady says that she's told Sonia many times not to hit the boy. Sonia retorts that it's better she keep her mouth shut because she'll forget she's her mother and threatens to hit her...Sonia goes off to her room, leaving the old lady crying by herself.
     Jimena can't sleep and thinks about her pollito. She doesn't know that Ivan is also thinking of her at that moment. She calls Ivan's house, he answers the phone, but there's no one on the other end: but Jimena doesn't dare say a word, and hangs up.
     Silvano gets back to Rosaura's house where Panchita greets him. Samuel says he'll call Rosaura, but Panchita says he should go get her so she can pay homage to the ultra-mega-triple-super-papito.
     Rosaura enters with the kids and tells Panchita her presence isn't required right now and sends her off to the kitchen.
     Silvano reassures Leo that his mother won't mistreat him again, because he spoke to her and she's waiting for him at home with his grandmother. Rosaura asks why the kids couldn't sleep over and Silvano tells her that isn't possible and she should know better than to ask. He takes the baby and leaves with the kids. Rosaura watches them go and sighs.
     The next day LM and Mercedes go to Rosaura's house as she's leaving for the agency. She opens the door to them and greets them. Mercedes and Samuel leave them to talk alone. LM tells her that he again wanted to ask her to go with him to the park to meet the baby he was talking about, that she's Leo's sister. Then Rosaura tells him that the baby and the boy were at her house the night before because Silvano brought them over.
     Mayrita and Leo are at school and chat about last night's events. Leo complains that Panchita is hateful, she served him a glass of milk and then took it away and drank it herself. He tells Mayrita he's thought of a good way to punish her.
     Gabriel calls Minerva and asks her how her baby-sitting's going.
     Minerva tells him that the baby is a sweetie and isn't giving her any problems. Rosaura finishes telling LM all about the events of the night before with the kids. LM asks what she thought of Angeliquita. Rosaura starts to cry and says that when she took the baby in her arms she thought it was her baby and feels frustrated because she can't express her motherly feelings, no pain she's suffered in her life has ever been this bad. She embraces LM and cries on his shoulder. But then she withdraws saying she doesn't want to be late for work.
     Rodrigo visits Karina at the agency. He brought her a red rose and Karina is pleased. Rosaura gets to the agency's parking lot and finds her DEAR HUSBAND Patricio waiting for her. Patri greets her by saying "Finally! We meet again!"
     Rosaura demands to know what he's doing there, and he replies that of course he always knows what she's up to...since he is still her husband, although she might have forgotten that fact lately, since he's heard that she flipped out and lost her baby. She wants to know how he knows all these things, he says he just knows, that's all. Rosaura tries to go but Patri holds her back and says it's been a long time since they've seen each other, but he hasn't been able to forget her, because he still loves her.
     Karina thanks Rodrigo for the rose; he clips it and puts it in her hair and says she looks beautiful!He'll come back later to take her to the hospital to get the results.Karina says MJ will also be at the hospital, Rodrigo agrees that's ok, it's time that MJ started to treat him with a little less hostility. He leaves a happy Karina with a rose behind her ear. Guillermo and Jimena are breakfasting at a restaurant and he's talking about the kids they will have one day, but Jimena gets very sad and tells him she will never have any more kids because she has not forgotten her first baby and is terrified that she might have another abnormal baby, so she never wants to have any more! LM tells Gabriel that Silvano took the baby to Rosaura and he's very upset about it. Patricio informs Rosaura that he wants her to come back to the house tol live with him...Rosaura's reply: "Over my dead body, and not even then!"
     Patri says he wants to see her return to her former self, 'gata salvaje" tough and proud. He asks her if she got back together with LM or chose to be Silvano's girlfriend. She answers that she did neither, because all she wants is to find her missing baby. Patri mocks her and mentions how things have changed. She used to be only interested in her revenge. Rosaura says that that's why she lost her daughter. Patri offers to help her find the baby, but Rosaura refuses his help. Meanwhile, Anais comes out of the agency and sees them talking. Rosaura asks Patri again to give her a divorce, but he just laughs at her. Rosaura goes into the office and Patricio wonders what she would do if she knew that he knows who is keeping her daughter.
     Anais goes directly to Silvano's office and tells him that she just saw Rosaura talking with a man in the parking lot. She describes him and Silvano concludes that it can only be Patricio Rivera.
     Jimena asks Guillermo to take her to the cemetary to lay flowers on her baby's grave. Rosaura finds Karina in the office and tells her that Patricio came looking for her and asked her to go back to him, but she told him no. Karina advise her not to be an idiot and if she finally gets free of him one day, she should not reject Silvano,who is most suitable for her since LM hasn't been able to divorce her silly half-sister Eva and evenif he did, he's chained to Marifea. Rosaura confesses that each time she and LM meet, they end up kissing. Silvano compliments Luisana, telling her that the agency is very proud of her. They start talking about Rosaura and Silvano tells her that Anais informed him that she was seen talking to Patricio, but he hopes that one day she decides to fall in love with him. Luisana says that all Rosaura thinks of is her baby, and very frankly tells Silvano that in her opinion, Rosaura will never forget about her cousin LM. (I got the impression that Luisana was upset by Silvano's interest in Rosaura...is Luisana falling in love with him??).
     Jimena and Guillermo are at the baby's gravesite and Jimena implores his forgiveness and cries.
     Camelia asks Patricio if he saw Rosaura and he confirms he did. Camelia then tells him that she's sure that he rejected him again.
     Patri states that his intention is to separate her from both LM and Silvano and Bonbon says the only way to do that is to kill her! Patricio says that isn't an option because then he wouldn't have her either - all he wants to do is get her away from those two!
     Silvano tells Rosaura that he's been told that she was seen talking in the parking lot with Patricio and he wants to know what's going on. She replies that Patricio wanted her to go back to him but she refused for two reasons: 1) because he's the man she hates most in the world, and 2) because if one day she decides to start a new life, she would like to be with Silvano. Hearing this, Silvano smiles, very pleased.
     Jimena is still crying over her baby's grave when Guillermo decides that they must go because she's suffering too much, he embraces her and tries to console her. Ivan arrives at that precise moment and is upset by their "demostrations of love" in a totally inappropriate place. They start arguing and Ivan tells them they're immoral and tries to hit Guillermo, but Jimena shouts at them not to fight since it's neither the right place nor the right time, and tells Guillermo that they better go, takes his hand and leaves Ivan super-angry.
     Eva visits LM at the office again and proposes laying a trap for Marifea to prove that she's faking blindness.
     Back at the apt, Eduarda and Marifea are laughing and Eduarda says they're really going to have some fun now...she picks up the phone and starts dialing, as Marifea reminds her to disguise her voice as best she can. At the agency, Rosaura answers the phone, it's Eduarda disguising her voice (while Marifea can't control her laughter) Eduarda tells Rosaura that the her missing baby...IS DEAD!!

 

RACKEL'S UNIVISION SUMMARY 1/22/03 =WEDNESDAY

Author:maritere (cache-rc08.proxy.aol.com)
Date: 01-23-03 19:53 PST
     Rosaura asks who's speaking and how do they know that her baby is dead? Eduarda answers that all she needs to know is that the baby died and that she should dress in black and observe mourrning for a year. Rosaura, desperate, says it's a lie. Eduarda and Marifea explode in a fit of laughter and Eduarda finally says that her baby is dead, very dead, and still laughing, hangs up. Rosuara yells out "who is speaking?" At that moment Karina arrives, Rosaura tells her what happened and Karina tells her to calm down, that whoever called must be one of her enemies (she lists all of them down to the last one) who did it to upset her. Rosaura begins to calm down a little and says to Karina, that's she's right, because her heart says that her baby is ok.
     Meanwhile, back at their apt., Eduarda and Marifea are gloating over what they did to Rosaura. Eduarda says that the "salvaje" was frightened and was crying, she serves herself a drink and they toast, then Marifea says that she has to go buy a very enticing and sexy babydoll nightgown to seduce LM, so she asks Eduarda to let her borrow her car. Eduarda warns her that it's very dangerous for her to go out alone because LM might find out (and why didn't she offer to go with her,since she spends all day doing nothing??)
     However, Marifea replies that LM's in the office all day and he'll never find out that she went out.
     At the agency, Rosaura is still a little nervous, and Karina advises her that's she's better off going home. Rosaura thinks that's a good idea, so she says she'll ask Silvano for the afternoon off (from what I see, she's not working all that hard!). Karina says that won't be necessary, just go and she'll tell Silvano what happened. Rosaura leaves and Karina gets a call from MJ who says that she'll be passing by later to take her to the hospital. When Karina says that Rodrigo will take her to the hospital, MJ gets upset and starts talking badly of him, but Karina asks her not to do that because Rodrigo has behaved so well with her. MJ agrees that he can accompany her but only this time, and she also tells her not to worry, that the results will be good.
     At LM's office, Eva keeps trying to make LM believe that Marifea can see, but LM doesn't want to believe it and says that if Marifea is blind, he'll find a way to prove it, but to do that he doesn't need to ally himself with her, because he wants nothing to do with her, he only wants her to give him the divorce. Eva says she can't understand why he lets this mangy model make fun of him, because she's not blind!
     A very happy Marifea is driving down the street when a car draws up next to her at a light, and the driver is none other but Rosaura!
     Upon seeing her, Rosaura shouts out "Maribella!" and when Marifea realizes that it's Rosaura, she gets scared and goes through the red light! Rosaura's very surprised to see her driving.
     At the Hacienda, Mayrita arrives with a box in her hands and Cruz asks her what she got in there. Mayrita says it's a small present for Panchita and goes off singing. Cruz is left feeling very confused, wondering why Mayrita would give Panchita a gift.
     Panchita's in the kitchen with the parrot and singing happily,but the parrot interrupts her and Panchita gets angry with him. Mayrita comes in and Panchita says that the quiet is over, and all she hopes is that Mayrita's alone, without her little friend, the 'Leopard'.
     Mayrita tells her that even though she was very nasty to her friend and didn't give him his glass of milk, he sent her a present.
     Panchita is very happy when Mayrita gives her the box and thinks it's a pair of shoes, but she starts screaming like a maniac when she realizes that inside there's only a frog! And she screams even louder when the frog jumps on her, she yells for help with all the air in her lungs, while Mayrita and the parrot enjoy the show.
     LM and Eva are still talking, with Eva insisting that Marifea is tricking him. LM starts with his counterargument, reminding her of her own tricks with his "son" and all that. Eva is ready to leave, totally furious, when Rosaura arrives and gets hysterical. Eva decides not to leave until she finds out what "la salvaje" is doing there. Rosaura tells LM that she came to tell him something she just discovered: Marifea is NOT blind! Eva smiles triumphantly.
     Adriana is visiting Imanol at the hospital, he's still thanking her for being so nice to him and she takes the opportunity to ask him to stop using drugs and gives Jimena as an example of someone who managed to rehabilitate themselves, he can do the same. Imanol confesses that he is in love with her, but Adriana says she could never be in love with him.
     LM asks Rosy where she saw Marifea, and she answers: "Even if you won't believe it, I saw her on the street, driving a car." Eva tells LM that she was also telling the truth and she hopes that he will believe it, but LM tells her to be quiet and calls the apt. asking for Marifea. Eduarda nervously replies that she can't come to the phone because she's taking a bath. LM asks her if she's able to do that by herself. Eduarda replies that of course she's capable of taking a bath, being blind doesn't mean she's crippled and she can do it by herself, then Eduarda helps her to get dressed.
     LM tells her that as soon as Marifea's out of the tub she should call him. Eduarda wants to know why, but LM tells her that it's not her business. He hangs up and Eva asks if she didn't come to the phone. LM says she's taking a bath and Eva, upset, says that Eduarda is a liar and that's she's just covering for Marifea. LM asks Eva to leave once and for all, and an enfuriated Eva leaves the office. LM apologizes to Rosaura and asks her to take a seat. He asks her if she's sure of what she saw, that it was Marifea driving and Rosy says of course she's sure of it. LM says then it's true that Marifea was faking being blind and now her game is over. Rosy asks him what he's going to do next and LM says he will get her out of his life once and for all.
     Marifea arrives hysterical at the apt. and Eduarda tells her that LM called and sounded very strange. Marifea tells her about seeing Rosaura at a red light and that for sure she already went to tattle to LM. Eduarda says that it's probably exactly what she did, and tells her that she lied saying that Marifea was in the bathroom. Marifea is very frightened that her lie is about to be discovered.
     At the Hacienda, Rosy tells her Aunt Claudia that she saw Marifea driving a car, but Claudia asks her if she's sure it was Marifea. That upsets Rosaura, who says that she certainly must be thinking that she's gone crazy again, just like when she lost the baby, but even if nobody will believe her, she's sure she saw Marifea driving, and she's not blind!
     Panchita is still hysterical in the kitchen telling Caridad and Samuel what happened with the frog and they all die laughing and tell her that everything happens to her! Bruno comes in and says he left the frog at the waterfall. Panchita starts smelling her hair and says it stinks of frog-dinosaur and she's taking a 3-hour bath, as she goes out, Bruno, Caridad and Samuel explode with laughter.
     LM goes to the apt. and Eduarda tells him he's home early. He asks for Marifea and Eduarda tells him she's in her room. LM walks toward the room and Eduarda takes him by the arm and asks what he wants to talk to her about, LM shakes her off and just gives her a look. He doesn't say anything and goes into the room, where Marifea is seated on the bed. He tells her that he's discovered her lie because Rosaura told him she saw her driving down the street. Marifea replies that Rosy's crazy. LM tells her to stop faking it, that Rosy is not crazy, but Marifea keeps insisting that Rosaura is crazy because she never left the house, just ask Eduarda. But LM says that if Eduarda is her alibi, she won't serve any purpose, because he wouldn't believe her. Marifea starts sobbing, insisting that Rosy's nuts and starts repeating the story of how she abandoned her baby, etc.etc. LM replies that he is taking her to the specialist and while he says that, he passes his hand in front of her eyes, but Marifea recovers fast...she manages not to blink!
     Claudia apologizes to Rosy for having doubted her story about Marifea being able to see. Rosy says that it's logical not to believe her, since already once she went crazy. Mayrita and Mercedes arrive and they start talking about Angeliquita and Rosy's lost baby. Mayrita decides that they should ask Sonia's permission so that Rosy can visit the baby every day.
     Marifea keeps sobbing and keeps repeating her sob story that if she goes to the doctor they will tell her that she will never see again, yada-yada-yada, but what REALLY hurts her is that LM believes Rosaura. Fine, she won't discuss it anymore, she half-turns and she "hits" against the edge of the bed, she sits down to feel her injuries while LM is just standing there looking at her, when Eduarda comes in and asks what happened and runs to help Marifea, who tells her what Rosaura said to LM, and that he believes her. Eduarda says that's absurd.
     Marifea talks about how LM was to blame for her blindness, and yada-yada-yada, etc. finally saying it would have been better if she had died. LM tells her to quit playing the tragedy queen act, that she herself caused the accident. Eduarda tells him she won't let him talk to her like that, that she feels bad about her condition. LM takes her by the arm. pulls her close to him and whispers in her ear that he will not permit her to get involved in something that is not her business, and he hasn't forgotten that they are not really related. He reminds her that she's in his house living on his charity and not to forget that fact. Then he goes close to Marifea and tells her that she will go with him to see a specialist. Marifea and Eduarda both have looks on their faces like they've just found out that somebody died. Marifea refuses to go with LM and says that it's unfair of him to treat her this way. Eduarda intervenes and LM yells at her and asks if she's deaf and didn't understand what he just said to her, to mind her own business. Eduarda says it is her business because Marifea is her friend and she won't allow him to inflict mental abuse on her. LM is so angry he's about to explode and tells both of them to listen to him carefully: If he finds out that Marifea is faking it with Eduarda's help, he will throw both of them out of the apt. Then he looks at Marifea and asks her: Did you hear me, Marifea? Marifea begs both of them not to fight anymore because of her, maybe it would be better if she just took her things and left them, even if she has no where to go, maybe she can do to an assisted living facility but she won't go to a specialist, she wouldn't be able to bear it. She asks Eduarda to pack up her things. LM just looks at her and then leaves the room. Once they're alone, Marifea and Eduarda are very frightened and upset that because of Rosaura, the jig is almost up. Marifea begs Eduarda to help her avoid going for the test with LM. Eduarda says she'll try and leaves the room. Marifea is left crying desperately.
     Leobardo is chatting with Mayrita and is very happy about frightening Panchita with the frog, but he has to hang up because Sonia arrives and tells him very sweetly that they need to have a talk. She sits him on her lap and says that she loves him and that he's her pride and joy and starts manipulating him so he won't accuse her before the police if somebody asks him one day if she ever hit him with a strap because she'd be taken to jail. Leo gets scared and promises he'll never say anything bad about her.
     Eduarda tries to talk to LM, but even though he doesn't want to listen, she insists and says that Rosaura invented the whole story. LM says that he won't be sure until she sees a specialist. Eduarda asks him not to hurt Marifea, she's not in any condition to go see a specialist because she's much too sensitive,and he shouldn't listen to the rantings of a crazy person.
     LM shouts that Rosaura is not crazy. He also tells her that he can't Marifea to the specialist against her will because above all he is a gentleman, but if she's faking it, they both better be prepared to learn who Luis Mario Arismendi really is! Minerva visits Rosaura and they talk about Max and Minerva's suffering after his death. Then they talk about Rosaura's missing baby and her suffering.
     Rosy confides to Minerva that she saw Marifea driving down the street. Minerva asks if she's certain of that, and Rosy asks if Minerva also doubts her like her Aunt Claudia did. Minerva suggests that she take a trip but Rosy says no, she can't stop looking for her baby.
     Rodrigo arrives to pick up Karina, who tells him she's very nervous. MJ also arrives and says she has a taxi ready to take them to the hospital. Rodrigo has a car, they argue a bit and finally Rodrigo says this is a time they all should be united in support of Karina. MJ agrees and they leave the office together.
     Rosaura gets a call from Camelia, who says she called just to insult her. Which she does, talking of Silvano, Rosaura says that if she ever wants to start a new life, she'll do it with Silvano, who will give her a place in his heart and home. Camelia tells her that her only place in life is that of a servant. Rosy retorts that if she's supposed to be a maid...then Camelia's role in life would be to be a..a..but she catches herself and says that she won't say what she should be, because she doesn't want to dirty herself saying nasty words and just hangs up. Minerva asks why Camelia called her and Rosy, upset, tells her that she only called to upset her, which is the only thing that Camelia knows how to do!
     At the doctor's office, Karina is super nervous, the nurse comes in and says that the doctor will be with them in a moment to give them the results.
     Minerva leaves Rosaura's house. LM calls Rosaura and tells her everything that happened with Marifea. Rosaura says that he should stay with her. LM asks if she no longer cares about him staying with Marifea. Rosaura tells him he's only the father of her daughter and she can't think of him as a man. Mercedes arrives to tell her that Silvano's waiting in the study and asks her to send him away. Rosy tells her that Silvano has been very good to her and she will see him.
     Rosy goes to the study and greets Silvano. They talk about LM and Rosaura confesses that she still loves him. Silvano feels bad and asks her to forget about LM, but Rosy tells him she can't.
     Panchita is in the bathroom desperate to get the smell of frog off her. While she gets into the shower she swears that Mayrita and 'Leopardo" will pay for what they did.She realizes that the drain is clogged, and calls for Bruno to fix it.
     Silvano keeps insisting that Rosauara should break the chains that link her to LM and forget him. He gets close to her and says that he will make her forget LM, then he kisses her tenderly and Rosaura returns the kiss.
     The doctor finally comes into the office and Karina is more nervous than ever. She asks the doctor what disease she has, and if it's serious, if she's going to die.....

     Leobardo's in his living room with Angeliquita when Silvano arrives to pay them a visit and find out how their mother is treating them.
     Leobardo says that after his talk with his mother, she is treating him better. He adds that he would have liked to have a daddy like him or like LM. Leo confides to Silvano that he has a secret to tell him, but before he can, Sonia arrives.
     Back at the hacienda, the dinner discussion is about what Mercedes said to LM about Silvano's visit to Rosaura. Mayrita asks Rosaura to marry LM again, but she replies that that's impossible. Marifea returns to the apt and reports to Eduarda that she saw LM and Rosuara kissing and she's very upset about it! Eduarda tells her that it was very unwise of her to go out alone, that someone else might have seen her. MF says that was the least of her concerns: she's just exploding with rage at seeing them kissing like that. Sonia asserts to Silvano that in her house, the kids only get love, tons of it. Silvano is relieved to hear this, while Leo stares at his mom with a "What's up with her?" look on his face.
     MF hears LM arrive and arranges herself on the sofa, when he arrives she asks him where he way and LM lies to her, saying that he was at the office.
     MF asks him to take her out to dinner, but LM refuses because he's very tired. Then MF says that he's just ashamed to be seen in public with a blind woman. LM sits next to her and asks her how she can say such a thing?? MF switches tactics and suggests that they order dinner in to have a relaxing delicious dinner, since she's sure Eduarda won't mind staying discreetly in her room. LM refuses again, and adds that he has an infernal headache and all he wants to do is go into his room and close the door. Mf ends up like this :( (which makes me :)
     At the Hacienda, Ivan tells Cruz and Claudia about Karina's illness and that he came to tell Rosaura. Cruz says this is another terrible blow for her poor granddaughter. Claudia says in any case Rosaura has to be told and tells Ivan to go with her to Rosaura's room. As they start going, Jimena comes in and asks Ivan what he's doing there. Ivan tells her not to think that he came to see her, and leaves with Claudia. Cruz asks Jimena if she wants to get back together with Ivan and she says no. Cruz hugs her.
     Camelia and Patri are dining and she asks him if he's still thinking about Rosaura,, since he hasn't mentioned her or sought her out.
     Patri replies that he's still interested, but he's biding his time because he knows that Rosy and LM can't get back together.
     Camelia asks him if he's not afraid of Rosaura falling in love with Silvano, Patri says no, because as long as the baby is still missing,
     Rosaura won't be thinking about any man. And since she'll never find her brat, she will never be able to be happy with a man.
     Camelia insists that this is not a sufficient punishment - they have to think of something else to make her even more unhappy. Rodrigo tells MJ that he will leave so he won't bother her, but MJ says that he doesn't have to go..she thanks him for being so good to Karina. Rodrigo thanks her for the kind words, then he asks if he can go and say goodbye to Karina. But he can't get into her room because the door is locked.They start yelling for Karina to open the door, but she can't listen to them, she's lying on the floor as if she was dead. In her room Rosaura receives Ivan and Claudia who tells her that Ivan came to bring bad news. Then Ivan tells her about Karina's incurable illness, which is a death sentence for her.
     Since Karina didn't answer his calls, Rodrigo kicks in the door and they find her there on the floor. Rodrigo takes her in his arms and puts her on the bed,saying to MJ that she seems dead. MJ screams and cries that it can't be true!
     MJ asks Karina what happened, trying to wake her when Rodrigo realizes that she took a bunch of pills and MJ gets hysterical and screams and tries to make Karina move. Rodrigo takes her pulse and says she's still alive, MJ runs to the phone to call the ambulance.Rosaura cries and says that she can't believe what's happening to Karina, another terrible blow for her after losing her baby. She tells Ivan to take her to Karina. At Patri's house, Griselda tells them that she's afraid that Rosaura will remember giving birth in the house and realize that they were all involved in her kidnapping. Camelia says that if she hasn't figured it out after all these weeks after the birth, it's unlikely she'll start to remember now. Camelia adds that she's very happy that the baby's gone missing far away from her parents. This makes Patri sad remembering that he also grew up separated from his parents. Camelia begs him not to get sentimental and ridiculous about his childhood. Patri gets angry and avers that these things mark a person for life. The he says he's sorry and wonders who could be his mother..maybe he'll never find out.
     At LM's apt, he's with Mercedes and a detective who is updating them on the search for the missing older son. Unfortunately, no progress has been made in the case. The investigator asks her to recall her father's friends and relations to help identify the place her father sent her son. He leaves and Mercedes starts to cry. LM hugs her and says that they have to be patient and confesses that he now understands her pain because he's going through the same thing with his missing baby.
     At the hacienda, Jimena, Luisana, Cruz and Claudia are discussing Karina's illness. The phone rings, Luisana answers, and learns what happened to Karina.
     At MJ's house, Caridad is crying while telling Bruno that the ambulance just took away Karina. Ivan and Rosaura show up and ask what happened, and Caridad and Bruno tell them that Karina attempted suicide and the ambulance just took her to the hospital.
     As they leave, Rosaura gets a call from Silvano, asking if he can be with her. Rosy tells him that Karina tried to commit suicide and they're on their way to the hospital and thanks Silvano for his concern. She hangs up and leaves with Ivan, as Caridad and Bruno ask to be kept informed of the situation.
     At the Hacienda, Jimena asks Luisana if she's sure LM should be told. Luisana says yes, he should know what's going on and calls him to give him the news. LM thanks her and says that he will leave immediately to be at Rosy's side. Mercedes asks if something happened to her and LM says he'll tell her on the way.
     At the hospital, MJ is crying desperately and hoping that the drs have managed to save Karina's life. Rodrigo asserts that Karina decided to speed up her death after she heard the diagnosis. MJ says she's very frightened for her daughter while Rodrigo embraces her and tries to console her, telling her while there's life, there's hope. MJ says she doesn't want her daughter to die, not now, not later. Patricio tells Camelia that maybe Griselda is right, maybe Rosaura can remember something.
     Camelia tells him not to ill-wish himself with these kinds of thoughts and Patri replies that it's a possibility. And if Rosy remembers, all of them will go to jail. Camelia says she'd prefer death to being in jail with evil and murderous women. Patricio asks her if these ladies could be more evil than they are. Camelia asks him to change the subject and suggests a night of wild passion, but Patricio rejects her, saying he's not in the mood. Camelia accuses him of thinking about Rosaura. Then she switches tactics, throws him on the bed and gets on top of him asking him to forget about Rosy for a minute and make love to her as passionately as he used to. Finally, Patricio is persuades and they start kissing. Caridad and Bruno are about to leave when LM arrives and Caridad updates him on the latest tragedy. LM decides to go to the hospital to be by Rosy's side but Bruno tells him not to, because his presence will only make Rosy feel worse. LM stares him straight in the eyes and says that Bruno is nobody to tell him what to do and leaves. At the hospital, the dr tells everyone that Karina arrived just in time for a stomach pump that saved her life. Cruz asks the chauffer to go pick up Mayrita at a friend's house. Then she tells Claudia that the little girl shouldn't know anything about Karina's situation. Cruz also hopes that Karina's illness will teach MJ that all her children are important. Claudia replies that Mayrita sees Rosy as her mother and that's why she never asks for MJ. Meanwhile, Mayrita and her friend are playing hide-and-seek on the beach. As Mayrita hides, La Loca de la Playa ("The Beach Lunatic" in mt's translation) appears. Mayrita is scared so the Beach Lunatic reveals her identity: it's Mercedes.
     Ivan and Rosaura arrive at the hospital and Ivan leaves her alone to go see where Karina is, and Silvano arrives, offering all possible support to Rosaura. He hugs her and LM arrives and becomes immediately jealous. He tells Rosaura that she shouldn't take advantage of the difficult situation to get hugs from Silvano. Silvano tells him that this is neither the time nor the place for his stupid jealousies. LM gets angry because he thinks Silvano is calling him STUPID and they start hitting each other. Rosaura intervenes between them but they continue to argue and accuse each other, until Ivan arrives and has to interfere to separate them.
     Then he tells Rosaura which room Karina's in,Silvano wants to go with her but LM jumps out first and goes with her. Silvano is held back by OIvan, who asks him to try to avoid a confrontation because it's not a good time. Silvano says he's sorry. Mayrita and Mercedes are talking on the beach and the teacher tells her story. She asks the child not to tell anyone that she walks on the beach at night because then they might think she's crazy for real.
     Mayrita promises to keep quiet.
     LM scolds Rosaura for letting Silvano embrace her - he's fed up with the fact that all the men that get near her fall in love with her (I think a lot of us think the same thing!!). He accuses her of being a flirt that causes men to fall in love with her. Rosaura retorts that she won't let him insult her that way, let alone here, where her sister...LM interrupts her and says that if Karina was so important for her, she'd be with her and not getting hugged by Silvano. He asks Rosaura to send Silvano away. Rosaura refuses, saying that it's a public place and besides, Silvano is a good friend, respectful, concerned about Karina, not like LM, who since he arrived has not asked about Karina's health, so therefore he is the one who should leave. Rosaura enters Karina's room to find MJ sobbing, saying that if Karina dies she wants to die too. Rosy reminds her that she has 2 other children to give her mother love to, since she's never loved them before. Silvano and Ivan come into the room and Rodrigo asks Ivan to take MJ home. At first, she refuses, but then she allows Rosaura to spend the night watching over Karina. Before leaving, MJ thanks Rosy for taking care of Karina "as if she were really your sister". Rosy replies that Karina HAS ALWAYS BEEN her sister. LM is in the hospital cafeteria having a coffee thinking about Rosaura, saying to himselt that she's a born flirt.
     Meanwhile, back at the Hacienda, MF and Eduarda arrive under cover of night. Eduarda tells MF her plan is very dangerous. MF says she's aware of that but she wants to take revenge on Rosy for having kissed LM. The two of them sneak into Rosaura's room. MF is carrying a red box in her hands, and says that she'll hide her "present" in the bathroom.
     Eduarda is supernervous and tells her to hurry up before somebody finds them. MF comes out of the bathroom says that she left her "present" and the two women run out of the house. 03 FRID

     She tells them that she's managed to remember something: the moment she gave birth, it wasn't in a hospital, it was dark place full of old things and she didn't recognize where she was. Caridad asks if she can remember where she left her baby. Rosaura thinks and sees herself walking the streets with the baby saying that it wasn't her baby, that she lost her own baby and that she couldn't stay with this baby because she wasn't its mother.
     Rosaura, crying, says she can't remember clearly, only that it was a park. Caridad asks her to concentrate, to see if she can remember leaving the baby abandoned in the park, or if she gave it to someone.

The Granados sisters and Valeria are still at the beach. Valeria wonders aloud to Eva how Eduarda could have had betrayed her after being her friend for so long. Eva said she couldn't go anything against Eduarda because they are tied together by certain secrets. Silvia asks which? And Eva doesn't answer, but she's thinking of the time they killed Rosaura's father Anselmo. She tells the girls she doesn't want to talk about it, and says she's going to have a swim. When Eva leaves, Valeria comments to Silvia that a rumor had circulated that Eva and Eduarda had a lot to do with Rosaura's father's death, but Silvia reacts irritated and tells her not to believe such rot, that her sister is not capable of killing anyone, and Rosaura must really have gone over the edge if she's inventing such things.
Gabriel gets a visit from Minerva at his office. She came to tell him that his brother Guillermo took Luisito to spend the day with Jimena. Gabriel informs Minerva about Karina's illness. Minerva is saddened by the news, although she says they never were friends, she wished her the best, she'd like to visit her but doesn't dare. Then she tells Gabriel she's leaving, but he invites her to go out with him instead.
Leobardo gets home and after greeting his grandmother, she tells him that LM came to visit and bought milk for the baby, held her and cuddled her. She adds that it's obvious that LM is terribly troubled by something - does Leo know what it the reason for his sadness is?The boy says he doesn't know. Leo asks his grandma if she ever thinks about the baby's real mother and the old lady says yes, but even if she wanted to look for her, Sonia has forbidden her to look for the baby's mother.
LM calls Rosaura and asks if she's aware that the in a few days the baby will be one month old. Rosaura replies that of course she's aware of it, as she's always aware of the fact that she is the one responsible for the baby's disappearance. LM tells her not to blame herself, she's not guilty of anything because she didn't know what she was doing. Rosaura adds that everyday she asks herself if her baby is gone forever.
Eva tells the other girls that they should leave the beach , since she's feeling a stinging on her skin. Although Valeria doesn't want to leave, Silvia tells her they'd better do as she wants , given Eva's character.
At the same time, Gabriel and Minerva are walking by on the sand at the edge of the water and he asks her why she wanted to go there today. Minerva answers that Max loved the sea. Gabriel is saddened and Minerva apologizes, they continue walking and are discovered by the trio of harpies.
Eva gets upset and tells them off, saying they're a pair of liars because Gabriel always said he was dying of love for her and Minerva always said she loved Max so much, but they wasted no time finding consolation. Then she tells them she will ruin their walk, while the other two laugh at them. Eva gets near Gabriel and Minevera and tells them that they're having such a romantic walk,
does that mean that Gabriel has already found a substitute mother for Luisito? Gabriel retorts that in the very short time Minerva has been taking care of the baby, she has given his baby more than love than his real mother ever did. Eva laughs in their faces and tells Minerva that if she's so in love with the baby, she can keep him. Gabriel tells her she's reached a new low, they leave with Eva's mocking laughter ringing in their ears.
Jimena, Guillermo and Luisito, go into Rosaura's room, where they find her very sad. She takes the baby in her arms for a bit, but then crying, asks Jimena and Guillermo to take him away because the sight of him makes her sad. Guillermo says they understand and they shouldn't have brought Luisito, but Rosaura assures them it's not their fault, it's her fault because she's been feeling bad about all the terrible things that have happened. Jimena and Guillermo decide to leave to let her rest. Leobardo chats with his little friend telling her about Mayrita's sister Rosaura, how nice she is and how he wishes his mother were so nice. Juanita asks him what happened to the baby Rosaura was expecting and Leo says he doesn't know, that Rosaura gets ver sad each time they talk about the baby. Juanita asks if the baby died. Claudia and Mayrita go to Rosaura's room and she asks Mayrita to invite Leo and Angeliquita to have a snack with them - the chauffeur can go pick them up.
Ivan insists that Karina open Maxi's letter and read it to put all doubts to rest once and for all. But Karina says she isn't ready to do it, not to pressure her, that when she's ready to read the letter, she will, and she puts it back into the drawer. Leo leaves his friend Juanita and gets a call from Mayrita, who invites him to come to her house with Angeliquita. The boy asks his grandma for permission, the old lady is hesitant at first but then says he can go and take the baby, but they must be home before 8PM, the time that Sonia gets home from work. Leo tells Mayrita happily that he got permission to come over.
Claudia asks Rosaura if seeing Angeliquita wouldn't make her worse, but Rosaura says no. Claudia remints her that just a while ago seeing Gabriel's son had a bad effect on her and Rosy replies that that was different. Mayrita arrives and says happily that Leo got permission to come visit them.
Carlos the Peasant is in a bar and receives a call from Patricio, who tells him to come to his office because the money is ready for him.
Carlos laughs and says that he sure found the money quickly, he expected it the next day. Patricio, irritated, tells him to stop talking stupidities and come by for the money as soon as possible. Bonbon (Camelia) enters the office sighing that she feels very relaxed after her sauna and now she's going to get some sun by the pool. She invites Patri but he says that he can't because he's waiting for Carlos to give him the money. Camelia says that it's the best thing they can do right now, but how can they avoid Carlos' asking for more money. Patricio says that right now he's trapped by this worthless delinquent.
Sonia arrives at her house and her mother is surprised to see her home so early. Sonia explains that her foot hurt so much her boss said she could go home early. (That's funny: Sonia's supposed to be the one with the foot problem, but her mother is the one wearing a bandage!)
Sonia asks about the kids, and when the old lady tells her that they went out, Sonia gets angry and mistreats the poor old lady, telling her that she's going to toss her in an old-age home because she must be senile, etc.etc.etc.
Sonia tells her mother to pray to God that nothing happens to the baby, because if anything happens, she will be the only one responsible.
Meanwhile, Leo and Angeliquita arrive at the Hacienda. Inside, Rosy is telling Panchita that Leo and the baby are visiting and that as soon as they arrive, she should be informed. Panchita gets hysterical and says that the boy "Leopardo" is a brat and tells Rosy about the joke he played on her with the frog. Rosaura and Mayrita laugh at her. The doorbell rings and Mayrita tells Panchita that she looks like a parrot, but she better open the door, which Panchita does and the kids come in. Rosaura asks
Panchita to give her the baby, and as soon as the baby is in her arms the baby starts crying. Mayrita says maybe the baby is hungry, Rosaura says they can't let her go hungry and starts unbuttoning her blouse. Mayrita asks her what she's doing, Rosy explains that she will breast-feed the baby, since she couldn't breast-feed her own child. She asks Panchita to help her sit on the sofa and gives the baby her breast. (Wow! A month has passed and she still has milk???LM arrives just then and stands staring at the spectacle of Rosaura feeding the baby. LM motions to Panchita to leave and take the kids and then sits next to Rosaura and asks her why she decided to feed Angeliquita.Rosaura answers that since the baby was crying and she had milk that she couldn't give to her baby, it was just natural to do it. LM says she looks very tender feeding Angeliquita and that this baby could be hers. Rosaura says no, she's not her daughter. Panchita is scolding Leo and says he owes her a big favor for what he did to her.
Leo says he did it because she took away his glass of milk, They keep arguing until Mayrita intervenes and tells them they should jump rope which they proceed to do, Panchita happily jumping with them. Rosaura finishes feeding Angeliquita and LM starts up again singing the praises of the baby, he wishes she was his and that all three of them were together. Rosy tells him that's impossible, while Silvano arrives and sees the three of them together. He asks Rosaura sadly if they found her baby. Rosy tells him no, that this is Angeliquita. LM asks him why he always shows up at the most inconvenient moments, and tells him to leave; Silvano dares him to throw him out. Rosy intervenes saying that she will not allow the two of them to fight.
Carlos is at the Spa for his money. Patricio throws the money on the floor and when Carlos tries to pick it up, he steps on his hand and tells him this is the last time he will give him any money. Carlos replies that HE will be the one to decide that!
LM is still arguing with Silvano about his presence in Rosy's house, and he explains that he came to find out why Rosy didn't show up at the office. He also tells LM that he's the third wheel. Rosy says that she wants to be alone with the baby to enjoy her, and calls for Panchita.
The two men say they won't leave, but Rosy tells them to respect her wishes. She wants to be alone with the baby. Panchita comes in all agitated after her exertions with the jump rope, and Rosy asks her to show both men to the door, which Panchita does.Both men tell Rosy they will call her later.Rosy is happy, kissing Angeliquita. Panchita is outside with the men, and tells them that if Rosy doesn't want them to visit, they should come anyway...to see her. The men don't pay any attention to her and argue over Rosy.
LM is ready to fight and even takes off his shirt, but Silvano says that fist fights are too low-class, they should have a horse race instead. LM says that if Silvano thinks he's gonna fight for Rosy's love on the back of a horse? Silvano mocks him, asking if he's afraid of losing. LM laughs and Panchita echoes him. He says that of course he's not afraid, that he will tell Bruno to get the 2 fastest horses ready and walks away. Silvano laughs evilly and says he's not afraid either, because he was a champion rider for 3 years running. LM yells for Panchita to get Bruno to saddle two hours for them because they're going to race to decide which one has to give up Rosaura. Panchita says that to be fair, the loser has to give all his love to her and her tumbao. LM tells her to quit joking and tell Javier to get his riding equipment ready. Panchita leaves, and LM and Silvano look at each other and laugh, Silvano takes off his shirt. Panchita runs over to Bruno and Javier and tells them about the bet. Bruno says that's fine, he'll give LM a sick horse because he wants him to leave Rosaura alone. Panchita asks him how he can do that, if he's now in love with Luisana. Bruno confirms that he's in love with Luisana now, but because of LM, Rosaura never gave him a chance. Javier tries to oppose him, but Bruno says that if he doesn't obey, he will throw him off the hacienda.
Cruz and Caridad ask Rosaura if she actually did breast-feed Angeliquita, and she says yes. Cruz gets worried and says she hopes she won't suffer. Rosy says she didn't suffer, that doing it she felt filled with peace. Panchita, Javier and Bruno bring the horses to Silvano and LM. Panchita gives them the "go" signal. And the men take off. Javier says poor LM, he'll surely lose with this sick horse. Bruno says that's exactly what he wants, for LM to lose.

Minerva pays a visit to Karina at home, telling Ivan that she found out about Karina's illness and wanted to show her suport. Ivan thanks her and asks Rodrigo to tell Karina. Then he tells Minerva to excuse him, but he was on his way out. Minerva is alone in the living room. Rodrigo asks Karina how she's feeling, she says bad, and they start discussing the transplant and Karina's fears, Rodrigo hugs her trying to make her feel better. Finally, Rodrigo mentions that Minerva's visiting and is waiting for her in the lliving room.
Rosaura's in her room talking to her grandmother and Caridad about the things she would be doing if her baby was with her, when Panchita arrives and tells them about the bet between LM and Silvano.

Cruz, Caridad and Rosaura are surprised and Rosy is upset, saying that she's no trophy to be competed for and these two will be hearing from her about this.
Camelia arrives at the office and tells Patricio that she couldn't sunbathe while she was worried about Carlos coming by for the money. Patri tells her that he already came, and that he's sure that he will continue asking for the same amount each month. Camelia is sad and says that they are trapped in the hands of Carlos.
Sonia is still mistreating her mother, telling her that she's upset about the things she does behind her back. The poor old lady can do nothing but cry and beg forgiveness.
Back at the Hacienda, the horse race is still in progress, until LM falls from the horse!
