SINOPSIS

 

      Subject: Synopsis of "Amor Gitano" Author: Robyn Barnette Date: 04-17-2000 20:04 Robyn's version of the theme to "Amor Gitano" AN INNOCENT GYPSY, A GUILTY MAN The 18th century was a period where the decadent aristocracy imposed its unjust laws to the heiress class, a time in which gypsies were not considered human beings. During this period develops a fascinating and beautiful historical journey where the daughter of La Marquesa Astolfi, Adriana de Astolfi, and the poor gypsy Renzo "El Gitano" swear their eternal love to each other. It is the kind of love that struggles against the pressures of hatred, bitterness and prejudice from those who are against it, and the pressures that ruin the moral concepts of family honor and society's good will. Adriana is a poor condessa who assures to her dying mother that she will take care of her younger and irresponsible brother Humberto. Rodolfo Farnesio is from one of the most powerful and wealthiest families in Florence, La Familia Farnesio. He wants to marry Adriana, even though Adriana continually refuses his requests to marry her. Soon, Rodolfo discovers that Humberto had been involved in a serious crime where he had murdered a man. He uses this as a foundation to marry Adriana and declares to Adriana that if she does not marry him, he will press charges against La Marquesa Astolfi, which would send Humberto to prison at the Isla de los Condenados (Island of the Damned). On the other hand, if Adriana does marry him, he would drop the charges. Adriana accepts marrying Rodolfo for the sake of Humberto. Rodolfo points the finger at Renzo for the crime after being based on a false declaration from his faithful servant, "El Jorobado" Dino. The gypsy heir to the fortune of La Familia Farnesio, Renzo is sentenced to the prison at the Isla de los Condenados. Between the walls of the prison, Renzo is surrounded by sadness, the unjust laws, and class prejudice. He meets Pedro Milleni with whom he begins a sincere friendship. On the other hand, Adriana informs that Renzo is an innocent man who had been condemned for the murder that Humberto committed. Tormented by the remorse, Adriana decides to embark on the island to tell Renzo the truth. THE DAMNED ISLAND, A DAMNED MARRIAGE Upon her arrival to the Isla de los Condenados, she meets Renzo and develops strong feelings for him. Renzo has never seen her before, but he couldn't pass up the opportunity to fall in love with such a beautiful princess. Adriana and Renzo get married, and they both map out a plan to escape from the island. Adriana chooses to be called "Luna," the free woman, so she can't reveal her true identity. Meanwhile, Rodolfo continues to invoke forces that exert not only a pull on Adriana, but also a strain on her marriage to Renzo. Dino recognizes the wedding ring that Rodolfo gave Adriana when she originally married Rodolfo, and Adriana must return with Rodolfo. From this, she leaves without returning to see Renzo or explaining to him who she really is. However, she leaves behind a symbol of a moon so Renzo remembers her. Renzo and Pedro escape the Isla de los Condenados and head out to sea in a small boat. Soon, the boat they travel in crashes. They are both rescued by a fisherman. Pedro regains his knowledge and appears as "El Conde" Pedro Minelli. He says that Renzo is his son. Meanwhile, when Adriana returns to the Castillo de Astolfi, she comes down with a terrible illness and suffers amnesia. Soon, she has forgotten everything, including Renzo. Renzo arrives at the Castillo de Astolfi to reclaim Adriana's love, but he is just in time to witness Adriana and Rodolfo renewing their vows. Renzo feels hurt and betrayed. At the same time, a doctor reveals to Adriana that she is pregnant. Manina, Renzo's mother, is hired to work at the Castillo de Astolfi. Adriana's child is born, but Rodolfo orders Manina to take the child away and hide at the Castillo Minelli where the child receives shelter. RENZO'S BETRAYAL, ADRIANA'S HEARTBREAK Manina returns to el Castillo Farnesio, but she is run over by a carriage driven by Isa Valenti. Manina is seriously wounded and rushed to a hospital. Soon, Adriana recovers her memory and discovers that the child she gave birth to also actually belongs to Renzo. She looks for Renzo to tell him the truth. However Renzo already learned an even more significant truth — the truth of his past. Infiltrated with lies about Adriana, Renzo runs away with Isa and marries her, leaving Adriana alone with nothing except a broken heart.

     Subject: EPISODE I -- Broadcast on 4/23/2000 Author: Robyn Barnette Date: 04-25-2000 20:29 VILLA FLORENCIA El Castillo Farnesio: Rodolfo's unfaithful servant Dino "El Jorobado" knows that Rodolfo knows about the gypsies and how to make their lives miserable. Dino tells the story about these gypsies and how they live, what they do, their dance as a ritual, where they came from, and other things about these "things." Rodolfo doesn't like these gypsies, these idiots, and considers these gypsies mundane. But he has other things to worry about right now, because he informs Dino that he is going to celebrate a wedding and present a ring to a very beautiful woman. Beautiful woman....only one name can come to mind: The woman who is the child of her dying mother. That woman is Adriana de Astolfi....

        El Castillo Astolfi: A horse and carriage trots down the path toward the castle of La Marquesa Astolfi. Fray Quintin has arrived. The sweet and beautiful Adriana had been waiting patiently for Fray Quintin to come. She doesn't say anything, but she hugs Fray Quintin knowing that he has brought the medicine to rescue her dying mother Constanza de Astolfi from her serious illness. Constanza is in her bed, barely able to move or speak. Aya Petra holds on to her hand, giving hope to Constanza that she will be okay and not succumb to her illness. Constanza tells Aya Petra to look after and protect her two children when she passes away: Adriana de Astolfi, and her brother, the irresponsible jerk himself Humberto de Astolfi. Adriana walks in, wanting to know how her mother is feeling. The mere sight of her dying mother brings Adriana to tears. Adriana can't bear the pain within....

        Now the summary: Isolda, acting like a drunk, serves one of the patrons at the bar a large bottle of wine. She is pleased to see one of the members of La Marquesa Astolfi present at the bar, Humberto. Humberto came to look for Isa Valenti, and he is not pleased to see Isolda acting the way she was. Isolda advises Humberto to enjoy himself and not to suffer. Humberto doesn't care — all he wants to know where Isa is. Isa happened to be having her palm read by Zokka. Zokka reveals to Isa a terrible circumstance — that Isa is to witness or be involved in a terrible crime where a man is murdered. Isa doesn't believe what Zokka reveals. Renzo "El Gitano" is playing beautiful music on his violin, gliding the violin wand back and forth along the violin's thin strings. The gyspies are hypnotized by the violin's sweet-sounding melody. The melody echoes all the way to El Castillo Astolfi, where Adriana hears the music. She steps out into the balcony and becomes mesmerized by the melody of the violin. The music takes over her consciousness, taking her away from the agonizing situation with Constanza and transporting her to a moment where she can feel her soul liberated. As Adriana looks over at the crystal blue pond that surrounds her castle and the lush green trees in the background, she asks Aya Petra where that music is coming from. Humberto rides in his carriage and pulls up to where he sees Renzo playing his violin and putting Isa into a trance with its sweet sound. Humberto, somewhat irritated by Isa's behavior, drags Isa away. Isa promises Renzo that she will come back and give him much passion, while she struggles with Humberto to let go of her arm. At the bar, Daniel, a man dressed in a green cape and outfit and who looked like the annoyed Robin Hood, walks up to Isolda. Isolda thinks that Daniel was here to look for Isa, and she informs him that Isa is not here. Too drunk to effectively communicate, she presents Daniel with a beautiful woman for him to get to know. Daniel thanks Isolda for the offer, but he turns the woman away and leaves. Dino, who was hiding somewhere in the back, follows Daniel out of the bar. Meanwhile, Isa is all over Humberto as he rides the carriage. Humberto pulls over and both he and Isa get off the carriage. They play around, chasing each other in the forest, kissing, laughing, giggling, and just having fun. Rodolfo and his crew are just in time to crash and burn a special wedding ceremony: The marriage of Santiago and Maria. Rodolfo and his crew trot through a dirt path surrounded by a series of trees and bushes until the arrive at the ceremony. The priest has declared Santiago and Maria husband and wife, and everyone at the ceremony applauds, cheers, and throws all kinds of flowers at the couple. Rodolfo also applauds and congratulates Santiago for marrying Maria. Everyone diverts their attention from the couple to Rodolfo, and for one thing they are not happy he is here. They are also shocked when Rodolfo reveals a terrible secret about Maria: That she was Rodolfo's girlfriend? [I think the interpretation is wrong: Rodolfo is claiming droit de seigneur] Maria's father cannot believe what he had just heard. Rodolfo's crew gets off their horses and pushes everyone out of the way to go after Santiago. They kick and punch him, beating him down to the ground. Everyone at the ceremony is shocked by what they were witnessing. Santiago warns Rodolfo that he will not get away with this. Renzo arrives to save the day and orders Rodolfo and his crew to let go of Maria. Rodolfo looks up and sees Renzo....Renzo? Who is this long-haired bastard that he has not seen before? Adriana doesn't want to see Constanza go. The emotion is pouring from Adriana. Constanza is her life, and she can't bear to witness her dying.

        Meanwhile, back at the ceremony, Rodolfo asks who this person is that wants to start something with him. Renzo reveals his name. Renzo....El Gitano. Gitano? Rodolfo hates Gitanos. Renzo again orders Rodolfo and his gang to let go of the girl. One of the gang members draws out his sword, prepared to attack. Zokka hands Renzo a sword, pointing it's sharp end directly at him. Rodolfo orders his crew to back away because he would be the one Renzo will have to get through. While Humberto and Isa are in the carriage riding down a path surrounded by many trees, Daniel pulls up aside them and declares that Isa belongs to him. He adds that Isa is his body and soul, and wants to kill Humberto to claim Isa. An enraged Humberto has heard enough bull from this Robin Hood imbecil, gets off his carriage, and tackles him off his horse and into the ground. Both of them yank their swords out and are prepared to fight. They stare at each other intensely. A stunned crowd witnesses Renzo and Rodolfo clashing their swords at each other while they're on their horses riding around in circles. Soon, Renzo backs up for a moment and fiercely charges toward Rodolfo. Rodolfo violently swings his sword at Renzo, attempting to slice his head off. He misses. However, he gets a break when his swords knocks away the sword from Renzo's hand. Renzo quickly gets off his horse and finds a large wooden stick. He uses it to attack Rodolfo. He kncoks the sword off Rodolfo's possession. Rodolfo's anger intensifies and he charges toward Renzo. Renzo strikes the right leg of the horse, and the horse collapses, sending Rodolfo tumbling into the dirt ground. As the fight was going on, Constanza says her final wishes to Adriana. Constanza will be very happy up there, in God's hands. Adriana doesn't want her mother in God's hands — she wants her mother to be in the hands that were holding on to her. Moments later, Constanza silently passes away. Adriana has lost her mother forever. Humberto and Daniel were dueling it out with Isa looking on. Humberto hated fighting this way, so when Daniel knocks the sword from his possesion, Humberto grabs Daniel's arm and slaps his face silly. Soon, they began using fists instead of swords. Humberto gets the upper hand when he kicks and punches Daniel so hard that Daniel is knocked out cold. Humberto can't believe what just transpired right in front of him, and neither can Isa. Isa demands to know what Humberto de Astolfi just did. Humberto himself didn't know what he just did. Isa thought Humberto killed Daniel, but Humberto doesn't believe that Daniel is dead. Frantic, both Isa and Humberto get on their carriage and quickly trot away. Dino "El Jorobado" pokes his head out from behind a tree. He had witnessed the fight between Humberto and Daniel. Renzo finds a sword from the ground and hurls it back to Rodolfo. He is not finished with Rodolfo. They both duke it out again. Renzo again knocks the sword from Rodolfo's possession and like a professional fencing champion, flings the end of his sword upward and against Rodolfo's face. Rodolfo staggers backward, a deep cut spewing blood from one side of his face. He looks at Renzo intently, knowing that this is far from over. Dino staggers over to Daniel, asking about Isa. Isa Valenti...yes, Dino knows who she is. Dino takes out a dagger and stabs Daniel deep. He then slides a ring off Daniel's fingers and saves it. Renzo and Zokka ride way in their horses, as Rodolfo looks after them. He declares that he, Rodolfo Farnesio, the most powerful man in La Villa Florencia, will get his revenge on Renzo "El Gitano".

        Later that evening, Adriana is at the funeral of Constanza. Fray Quintin blesses her by outlining a cross on her body with his hand. Adriana says to Aya Petra that she needs some comfort and support from her right now. Meanwhile, on the other end, Rodolfo storms into his room at the castle, kicking the doors open and nearly breaking them down. He is frustrated and downright angry and orders everyone to get the hell out. Rodolfo vows revenge on that rotten Gitano, that scum of the earth Renzo. An old man holding a burning torch lights a straw hut on fire in honor of Constanza. As he lights the hut on fire, he says for Constanza to rest in peace. The hut burns intensely until it is reduced to ashes. Adriana seeks comfort from Aya Petra after losing her mother. Adriana notices Humberto walk in. Adriana walks over to Humberto, who is very distressed emotionally. Humberto doesn't want to reveal what he did, but Adriana is curious. She wants to know what happened. Humberto mumbles that he killed a man. Adriana is stunned. She couldn't believe her ears as to what she heard. Her brother, killing a man? Humberto can't believe it himself. He feels so guilty for the crime he had just committed, but he can only hope that nobody found out. Outside the hallway, Adriana embraces Humberto, knowing that everything is going to be okay. She believes that he is not guilty for what he did. Dino shows Rodolfo the ring he found and explains to Rodolfo that Adriana's brother Humberto was the one who murdered Daniel. Rodolfo grins while he scrutinizes the ring carefully as if it was a valuable piece of art he had not seen before, knowing that it and what Dino had explained to him was the break he needed. Zokka and Renzo hide when they notice two of Rodolfo's gang members looking for him. The members pause near an area they think he is at, then continue riding through the forest. The gypsies are performing a ritual of dance and song underneath a tent and with burning torches surrounding the area. Renzo and Zokka arrive to their ritual. Manina notices Renzo alone. She approaches Renzo and asks what happened. Renzo doesn't say anything. Manina notices a deep gash on his right hand and asks how he got it. Renzo got it in a duel with Rodolfo Farnesio. The name sends shivers down Manina's spine. It was a terrible circumstance that Renzo messed around with that individual, and messing with the most powerful man in Florence will bring terrible consequences. He is capable of wiping everyone out from existence, including some poor Gitano like Renzo. Dino says to Rodolfo that with this ring he can trade it in for money or use it to marry Adriana de Astolfi. Rodolfo has better ideas. Did Dino think that Rodolfo would trade that ring in for money? Why would he? After all, he is the wealthiest man in Florence. However, he would like to add something to that wealth and make his life complete. After Dino said to him earlier that Humberto had killed Daniel, Rodolfo declares to Dino that tomorrow he will go after Humberto de Astolfi and charge him for the crime of murder and hurl that worthless @!#$ to the Isla de los Condenados. But marrying Adriana sounds very tempting....Rodolfo thinks he knows just what to do.

        Adriana informs Humberto that his mother, Constanza, has died. That augments more pain to the pain he had already been feeling after he supposedly killed Daniel. Aya Petra says to Adriana that she has gone through too much suffering. Her mother is gone and she won't come back. One of Rodolfo's gang members relays the message that El Gitano has appeared. What??? That scumbag Renzo is back? Rodolfo is infuriated hearing this news and wants to know where this Gitano is. Renzo's somewhere around the palace perimeter. Late in the evening, under the bright full moon, Adriana looks up at the night sky, thinking, knowing that her mother is up in a special place. She suddenly hears the sounds of the violin playing again and again wants to know where that music is coming from or who is playing it. She paces closer and closer to the music, and as she does she feels taken away by its lush sound. The music has seized her consciousness and has transported her to a period where all the sadness in her life has been phased out. She draws closer and closer until her consciousness becomes seized not only by the music, but also by the sight of the individual playing that violin — Renzo.

    USA, Subject: EPISODE II -- Broadcast on 4/30/2000 Author: Robyn Barnette Date: 05-04-2000 15:45 Late in the evening, under the bright full moon, Adriana looks up at the night sky, thinking, knowing that her mother is up in a special place. She suddenly hears the sounds of the violin playing again and again wants to know where that music is coming from or who is playing it. She paces closer and closer to the music, and as she does she feels taken away by its lush sound. The music has seized her consciousness and has transported her to a period where all the sadness in her life has been phased out. She draws closer and closer until her consciousness becomes seized not only by the music, but also by the sight of the individual playing that violin — Renzo. There he was, sitting against the tree, a small campfire burning next to him. Renzo glided the violin wand back and forth along the violin strings, and as he did Adriana felt more closer not only to the music but also to him. In fact, it got so close that Renzo suddenly noticed someone was watching him. Renzo looks up and wonders who had been listening in on his music. Adriana steps back and hides behind a garden of bushes and violet flowers. Renzo gets up and wants to know what this unknown woman was doing here. Adriana didn't say anything, and all she could do was turn around and flee. Renzo calls after her to wait, but Adriana was gone. Renzo instantly gets on his horse and tries to follow this woman to find out who or what she is. Meanwhile, this woman, Adriana, is running through the bushes. She looked like a real life ghost floating through the gardens. Adraian can feel Renzo quickly catch up to her. She instantly finds a place to hide, behind a large tree, and as she does she catches her breath. Renzo pauses and looks around to find out where she was, and after being unable to find her he leaves. Adriana can only thank God that Renzo didn't discover her. Rodolfo looks at his face in the mirror and examines the deep gash he received after the sword fight with that gitano Renzo. His goofy servant Dino asks if Rodolfo will consult with the police force in the capital city to go after Humberto or if he will take the law into his own hands. Since Rodolfo was the most dominant man in Florence, he could do whatever he wanted. He could charge Humberto for the crime, but his eyes was on a bigger prize. What Rodolfo was going to do tomorrow was that he will try and claim Adriana de Astolfi. And while Rodolfo was thinking about that, Adriana wandered through the trees until she heard a horse's gallop approaching her. Adriana suddenly faints, or looks like she had fainted. The horse's gallop was not coming from Renzo, though — it was coming from Patricio. Patricio gets off his horse and asks if Adriana was all right. Adriana could only grin upon Patricio's presence. Renzo returns to his gypsy refuge where Zokka greets him. Renzo, who was really not in the mood to talk, walks with Zokka to a tent and explains to Zokka about this woman he saw in the forest. Woman? Zokka really wanted to know what woman Renzo was talking about. Renzo could only describe the sight of her as wearing some kind of white sheet, and he could only remember a small portion of her face. At the castle, Humberto tells his dead mother Constanza de Astolfi that he killed a man, Daniel, and he has never felt so guilty in his life. Adriana also tells Patricio that her mother Constanza died hours ago. Aya Petra explains to Patricio that Adriana is a very religious woman who also has some type of condition that affects her head. Renzo is sleeping at the gypsy's refuge. Zokka looks at the gash that Renzo received on his right hand. Kneeling next to Renzo, Zokka says something about Renzo being her soul, proof that Zokka is in love with Renzo. She turns over his hand and discovers that his palm is completely clean.

        At El Castillo Astolfi, Humberto and Adriana are praying. Humberto still feels guilty for his crime, and he is about to find that out when Rodolfo breaks in and discovers the two. Adriana can sense that Rodolfo was here to see her. Rodolfo escorts her away from Humberto and tells her that it's a shame she had to be this beautiful. Adriana feels insulted by this remark, especially for the sake of her mother. Rodolfo is sorry that he had to do this at such a bad time, but he then asks if Adriana knew what Humberto did yesterday. Adriana knew all right, but she wasn't expecting that Rodolfo had known about it, too. Rodolfo was really pushing it by hinting that he wanted Adriana to be his wife. Adriana was not ready to disclose her propositions for marriage, and that upsets Rodolfo. She insisted that she talk about this later. Rodolfo didn't want to wait for later — he wanted to do this right now. He grabs Adriana by her arm and drags her toward him, angrily telling her that he thinks distinctly about marriage, and right now he is thinking about marrying her. As he smells her hair, he then brings up the ultimatum of them all: Either she accept marrying him or he will send her brother Humberto to the Isla de los Condenados. The warning sends a shiver down Adriana's spine and freezes her dead in her tracks. But Adriana refuses to back down. Rodolfo gives Adriana time to seriously think this over, and while she does he escorts Humberto out of the castle and to his carriage. Humberto had no idea what he was in for until Rodolfo explains to him that he is going to be sent to the Isla de los Condenados for the murder of Daniel Discarpa. Humberto is left speechless. He thought nobody would find out. How did Rodolfo? Isa is ballistic. She can't believe that Patricio told her that Humberto had been caught by one of Rodolfo's henchmen for the murder of Daniel Discarpa and a possible arrest was forthcoming. She wanted to drag this messenger out into the forest and rub his face into some bushes or some other shrubbery. Instead, Isa first bites Patricio's hand, then stomps on his foot. Aya Petra then comes out and reveals that Patricio was right — Humberto had been caught for what he had done. Isa "thanks" Aya Petra for the news, then as she takes a bow she grabs some grass and hurls it toward Aya Petra. Now she wanted to go after Aya Petra. Patricio holds her back as Isa struggles to free herself. Humberto had already learned of Rodolfo's proposition to Adriana for marriage, and he hints to Adriana to accept marrying him so he doesn't end up dying at the Isla de los Condenados. But Adriana doesn't love Rodolfo, and that was something Humberto had to overcome. Fray Quintin informs Adriana that news of Humberto murdering El Conde Daniel Discarpa has spread throughout La Villa Florencia. Both Adriana and especially Humberto are shocked by this news. Humberto didn't know what to do. Did he think Isa was going to support Humberto now that he committed the criminal act of murder? Not a chance. Isa dances around Humberto like some idiot because she knew that she had NOTHING to do with the murder of Daniel. Humberto would have to do this and do this alone. Isa was not assisting him in any way. Rodolfo raises his glass for a toast with one of his fellow henchmen — a toast to signify that justice will be dealt with, and to the fullest extent. However, was Rodolfo himself involved in a murder many years ago? Renzo wanted to find out this important piece of information from Manina. However, Manina didn't know, or if Rodolfo was guilty for murdering his father. She can't remember what happened. Renzo presses the question again, but Manina repeats again that she didn't know if his father was dead. Renzo explains to Manina that he noticed a woman in the forest, but didn't know anything about her — her name or where she came from. He had a somewhat vivid imagination as to what she looked like. He wanted her to return again, so he could get a better assessment.

        Adriana says to Fray Quintin that Humberto killed Daniel Discarpa and will be sent to the Isla de los Condenados. Fray Quintin is shocked. He knows that Humberto would never survive at that island. Nobody has. Adriana also adds that to save Humberto from the possible hell that exists at the damned island, she is thinking of accepting Rodolfo's proposition to marry him. Fray Quintin couldn't understand what Adriana was thinking, accepting to marry the most powerful man in Florence to save her brother? Fray viewed this as a monumental mistake Adriana was making, and to give Adriana an idea of what Humberto is to face if a prisoner, he, Adriana, Patricio, and Aya Petra viewed guards on horseback escorting a group of prisoners, old, dirty, some who haven't shaved in over 100 years, linked together by a chain. Adriana asked one of the prison guards who those prisoners really were, what they have done. The guard replied that those prisoners are all dangerous and they were all being taken to the Isla de los Condenados. The sight of those prisoners made Adriana's stomach turn. Aya Petra could only comment that they never return to that place. Renzo couldn't understand why Zokka just kissed him. He loves her...but as a sister. Zokka appreciated that gesture, but she doesn't want it that way. Renzo wanted to explain more, but Zokka didn't care. Zokka's feelings for Renzo were coming out now, and she wanted Renzo to know what she was really feeling inside. She kisses Renzo passionately. Meanwhile, Rodolfo's henchmen have located the gypsies refuge and charge toward it. The gypsies all disperse the area immediately as the henchmen destroy everything that is there, from tents, to props, to other materials necessary for the gypsies' survival. They also attack some of the gypsies. One of the gypsies asks why the men were doing this, why this destruction? The gypsies were people of peace. The henchmen were doing this destruction for one reason — Renzo. He was Manina's son. What did they want? Rodolfo's henchmen wanted Renzo not only for the sword fight the other day, but to also map out a plan to charge him for the murder of Daniel, a crime that Renzo really did not commit. The news stuns Manina and some of the gypsies there. Adriana looks at Rodolfo directly. Aya Petra warned Rodolfo that Adriana was still in mourning or losing her mother. Rodolfo didn't care — he wanted an answer from Adriana. He looked back at Adriana intensely, patiently awaiting Adriana's decision. Will she or won't she marry Rodolfo? The pressure was too overwhelming for Adriana, but she handled it well and declares to Rodolfo that she accepts his proposition to marry him, for the sake of Humberto. Adriana would probably regret that decision for the rest of her life.

     USA, Subject: EPISODE III -- (Broadcast on May 7, 2000) Author: Robyn Barnette Date: 05-13-2000 02:05 Adriana looks at Rodolfo directly. Aya Petra warned Rodolfo that Adriana was still in mourning or losing her mother. Rodolfo didn't care — he wanted an answer from Adriana. He looked back at Adriana intensely, patiently awaiting Adriana's decision. Will she or won't she marry Rodolfo? The pressure was too overwhelming for Adriana, but she handled it well and declares to Rodolfo that she accepts his proposition to marry him, for the sake of Humberto. Adriana would probably regret that decision for the rest of her life. Rodolfo, on the other hand, wanted to hear Adriana say exactly that. Rodolfo raises his glass and proposes a toast to Adriana for their love. Adriana could only look at him and wonder if their love really ever existed or will ever exist. She didn't want to drink to that, but she accepted Rodolfo's proposal to marry her and that was all she wanted to do. Rodolfo knows that Adriana really doesn't love him, but he has other ideas that will make her learn to love him. Patricio, leaning his head against the carriage, is disgusted that Adriana had to accept marrying Rodolfo. One of the gypsies declares to Rodolfo's henchmen that Renzo is an innocent man. Manina adds that Renzo is her son and would not do anything illegal. The henchmen don't buy that. They argue that Renzo is a criminal and guilty for the murder that he supposedly was involved in. Manina knows that they are lying, and she lets them know. The henchmen ignore her and attack one of the gypsies until Manina declares where Renzo is. Manina agrees to tell the henchmen where Renzo can be found. Zokka and Renzo sit against a large tree and look over at the small campfire burning in front of them. This was the way Zokka wanted it. She didn't want to love Renzo as a brother — she wanted to love him, period. Zokka wanted to sleep with Renzo tonight, but Renzo is thinking of something else. He can't get his mind off that woman he saw in the forest the other day. The image of her white flowing dress replayed itself in his head. As Adriana and Aya Petra ride in the carriage through the forest, Adriana explains to Aya Petra that she has committed to marry Rodolfo Farnesio, to save her frother Humberto from the damned hell that exists at the Isla de los Condenados. Aya didn't know that Adriana would agree to marry that bastard, and she could only wonder if Adriana was doing the right thing. Adriana thought she was doing the right thing, but she also knew that she would pay a hefty price for it. Humberto celebrates being spared the penalty at the Isla de los Condenados by making sexual love to Isa at the local bar. He explains to Isa how his sister Adriana agreed to marry Humberto to save his life. Isa, in an otherwise interesting position where she is showing off more than just her leg, would have loved to spend time with Humberto in prison at the island. A fat girl interrupts Isa and Humberto's moment and wants to spend a private moment with Humberto. The fat girl begins flirting with Humberto, touseling his hair. Humberto instantly gets enraged and attempts to choke the girl. Several people in the bar immediately rush in and separate the two. One of them asks Humberto what is wrong with him. Humberto himself didn't know. Ever since he killed Daniel, he has been in a nervous wreck.

        One of the henchmen drags Manina to the prison where she is to be locked up until she tells him where Renzo is. Manina begs to let her go and she will tell him. Renzo happened to be located at the same tree branch playing another musical piece his violin while Zokka was sleeping. It was one of many musical pieces that motivated Adriana late that evening to stand outside the balcony of her castle and think about who that gypsy was playing the violin. She remembered exactly what he looked like with the long greasy hair, the black outfit, the aggressive look on his face. Listening to that music touched her in many ways and brought a sense of feeling in her heart. Unfortunately, she is now suffering too much because she has committed herself to Rodolfo. Renzo looked confused as he rode into the gypsy's refuge. The gypsies have informed him that La Villa Florencia is looking for him. The people there know his name. What? How? What were they talking about? Even Zokka didn't understand what was going on. Renzo was accused of something. But what? Manina held all the cards at this point, and right now she was dealing them out to the prison guards. One of them explained that Renzo was responsible for the murder of Daniel Discarpa. Manina knew that was a flat-out lie. The guard ordered Manina to be taken away. Rodolfo is hiding behind some trees, peeking out at the lake where Adriana is about to bathe herself in the pond. At this point, Rodolfo is quite glad to have married her, and it shows. Adriana first dips her foot into the water, then uses her hands to splash some water on her face. The water felt as cool and crisp as the night before when she was dreaming about that gypsy playing the violin. She even tastes the water from her fingertips, licking them, relishing in their sensation. By now, Rodolfo is feeling a bit sexually aroused, but it doesn't compare when he witnesses Adriana disrobe herself until she is wearing virtually nothing. Adriana, naked, right in front of him! Rodolfo could only wonder if Adriana was insane. Adriana jumps in the water and swims to the center of the lake where she bathes herself, splashing water all over herself, laughing, giggling. Aya Petra wanted Adriana out of the water and put on something decent. Suddenly Rodolfo decides to drop by and visit. Aya Petra was not pleased that one, some male was here to see a naked woman; and two, that male being Rodolfo Farnesio. She is even more disgusted when Rodolfo sees Adriana's clothes hanging on the tree branch nearby and sniffs them. He says that they smell beautiful, just like Adriana is. Aya Petra could only glare at Rodolfo, for not only was Adriana marrying a bastard, but also a pig. Renzo marches to the prison along with Zokka, until he bumps into Isa. Isa is delighted to have met Renzo again, who has never been more gorgeous. Renzo is not in the least bit interested, much less flattered by Isa's affection. Aya Petra wants Rodolfo to march himself out of there, especially now that Adriana is, well, not wearing much. Rodolfo wanted to see more of this, though. After all, she is going to be his wife so what better way to begin the celebration by seeing Adriana naked? Adriana will never subject herself to the hell that she is about to go through with Rodolfo. But Adriana is going to be Rodolfo's wife, so she better get used to it. The least that Adriana can tell Rodolfo is for him to leave because she is not wearing anything. Renzo meets with the prison guards and declares who he is. He wants his mother free from the prison, even though he is not responsible for the crime. The guard at the front gate orders the other guards to take Renzo in. Zokka could only wonder what Renzo was doing or what trouble he was about to face. The guards take Renzo in to see Manina. Zokka cries, knowing that Renzo was about to confront major trouble. Patricio and Rodolfo draw out their swords and begin to duel. Adriana looks on as the two battle each other. Rodolfo gains the upper hand and aggresively tries to finish off Patricio, swinging his sword all around to the point that Patricio isn't able to battle this beast. Patricio falls backwards, and Rodolfo stands over him, the end of his sword inches away from Patricio's neck. Adriana quickly gets out of the pond and covers herself. Rodolfo threatens to kill Patricio, but Adriana warns him to let Patricio go because Rodolfo has done enough damage. Rodolfo has half a mind to kill Patricio instantly, but he vows that his greater benefit will be when he returns and make the life of La Marquesa Astolfi the worst.

        Renzo is so glad to see Manina. He explains that he is not guilty for what is happening, this supposed crime he is supposely guilty of. Manina wonders what they are going to do. Nothing, according to the prison guards, who were sick of seeing this emotional moment between them. The guards immediately separate both Renzo and Manina. Renzo demands that the guards let go of Manina. He is still confused as to what is really going on, that is until one of the guards shows him a ring — the same ring that "El Jorobado" Dino removed from Daniel's finger when he stabbed Daniel and thwarted the blame on Humberto for the crime of murdering Daniel. Renzo looks at the ring, then at the guard. He is quite shocked. The ring didn't look familiar to him at all. Everything was a lie. It couldn't be. The guard who held the ring in his fingers claimed that Renzo knew about this ring and his intentions to murder Daniel. Renzo is furious. He knew he was being blamed for something he never did. He wants to go after that guard, but the grasp of the other guards holding him was too firm for Renzo to do anything. Back at El Castillo Astolfi, Humberto's father tells his son that many small things have brought a huge burden to his family. It is a pain that the family had so much happiness for him, and now this. Everything is so sacred. Humberto had been accused for the murder of El Conde Daniel Discarpa, but now someone else is being accused. This selfesh person Humberto doesn't seem to understand what he has done, has he? It hasn't gone to his thick skull yet. Aya Petra explains to Humberto to come back to his family, since Adriana saved him. Humberto still doesn't get the message, not even the message that Adriana is marrying some jerk and is about to deserve her pain. Adriana slowly walks down the steps together with Aya Petra. She is not happy that she is suffering the way she is, after her mother died and after she agreed to marry Rodolfo. Lucrecia asks if Adriana needs anything, whether it's money or anything else. Adriana needs some space. She tells Lucrecia that she is marrying Rodolfo Farnesio. Lucrecia wondered how she could surrender herself to that powerful man. Adriana could only wonder the same thing. Isa Valenti meets Zokka at the gypsys' refuge. Zokka retorted that if Isa was looking for Renzo, he was not here. Where was Renzo? Renzo was being accused for a murder he didn't commit. Isa laughed and acted as though she felt sorry for Zokka. She then remarked that she can imagine Renzo with someone else, someone other than Zokka, preferably her. Renzo is brought to trial, where Dino says that he saw with his own eyes Renzo murder Daniel Discarpa. Renzo knew that this was a lie, and he tries to go after Daniel. The judge asks if this was true. Dino gives his testimonial to the judge, describing exactly what happened. Certainly Renzo knew what he was doing, robbing Daniel of the ring. This was typical of the gypsies — they weren't people of peace; instead, they were thieves. Renzo was furious. He never stole anything in his life. He knew someone else had been responsible for the murder and Dino was trying to "prove" to the judge that Renzo did murder Daniel. But who REALLY murdered Daniel? Who was behind this entire plan to frame him, Rodolfo Farnesio????? Humberto approaches Adriana at the forest and thanks her for marrying Rodolfo Farnesio. Yet, he still feels guilty inside because he knew Adriana is about to confront hell. Meanwhile, little did Adriana know that the gypsy she saw playing the violin the other evening, Renzo, is about to confront his own hell. Renzo had been found guilty of the crime for murdering Daniel Discarpa, and the guard announces Renzo's punishment: A life sentence at the Isla de los Condenados. Manina is stunned and saddened by the news. Her own son, guilty. Isa laughs it off as if it were some joke. As for Renzo, he simply says nothing. Deep inside he knew he was innocent. There was a hard lesson about that, however — the most guilty part of innocence was innocence itself.

    USA, Subject: EPISODE V -- (Broadcast on May 21, 2000) Author: Robyn Barnette Date: 05-26-2000 20:49 * - Indicates that character's name is not known at this time Adriana asks Aya Petra how to get to the Isla de los Condenados. She wants to get on a boat and travel there, probably to see what it was like...or to be more exact, to rescue the gypsy heir to the Farnesio fortune, the gypsy she had met a few days ago in the forest, Renzo "El Gitano." Aya Petra warns her that she is crazy to think about going to that island. Nobody survives on that island. Underneath her sacrifice, Adriana was doing this to keep her brother from going there. Aya Petra shrugs off Adriana's request and tells her to forget about it. Fray Quintin arrives and wants to speak to Adriana alone. Renzo introduces himself to an old hag who has been on that island as long as he can remember. This old hag's name was El Conde Pedro Milleni, and he had long gray hair and a huge beard, and wore dirty clothes he probably found washed ashore. Renzo tells Pedro that his name is Renzo Gitano. Rodolfo is having dinner with La Marquesa Astolfi one evening, proud to proclaim himself as a member of the family. Rodolfo informs Astrid de Mariner that he hasn't yet decided on when a ceremony will take place where he is to marry Adriana. Humberto stands up and requests that he wants to look for Adriana, and Aya Petra also joins him. But Rodolfo orders them both to grab some wood because this time he is going to look for her. After all, Adriana is to be HIS wife. Fray Quintin explains to Adriana that she is taking a serious risk in going to the island, but Adriana advises him that she has it in her heart and feelings to go there. Suddenly Rodolfo arrives, and right away he orders Fray Quintin to go away from his wife Adriana. Adriana tells Rodolfo about plans for their wedding. First, she wants Fray Quintin to be the minister to conduct the actual ceremony. Second, she wants the ceremony to take place at La Villa Florencia. Rodolfo wants to know all the information about this marriage and doesn't want a single thing to go wrong, but he thinks he will go along with Adriana's suggestions for their marriage. While Aya Petra was putting the final touches on Adriana's jewelry, she wanted to know what Adriana was thinking. Aya Petra was so worried for Adriana, because she is marrying this jerk and is planning on going to the Isla de los Condenados. Adriana advises her that she has it in her soul and her heart to overcome the huge obstacles she is about to encounter and wants to do it alone. Aya Petra could only watch her walk away and wonder if Adriana really does have what it takes. Aya Petra doesn't like this. She knows Adriana can't endure this. Adriana explains that she will be okay and there is nothing to worry about. And after being tormented by so much pain and heartache, this was what Adriana wanted to do. Patricio steps in and suggests to Adriana that if she needs help he will go with her. Aya Petra doesn't want Patricio to go to the Island, either. Adriana ignores Aya Petra's pleas and invites Patricio to join her on a boat and embark upon the Isla de los Condenados....

        ISLA DE LOS CONDENADOS The Isla de los Condenados was a very barren and deserted island, an island filled with nothing except rocks, sand, and the endurance of harsh abuse. This was a damned paradise, and those who sailed by the island knew of it by its famous large rock. Those who sailed by the island also knew to keep their distance away from it, for one false move to the island or to the inhabitants who guarded the island could lead straight to disaster. The island housed hundreds of prisoners. Some of these prisoners have been on the island throughout most of their entire lives, others just recently. However, they were sent there on the island for having committed numerous crimes. Their punishment was nothing but constant labor. Every single day, from dawn until dusk, the prisoners were treated like indentured slaves, shoveling dirt or building houses with hand-crafted tools or with their bare hands. They ate very little, if not, nothing at all, and if any of the prisoners wanted any type of food, the prison guards gave them nothing except water. The water came from the ocean nearby, and it was severely contaminated with sewage and other polluted effluents. Sometimes, the guards didn't give any water to those prisoners who wanted it. Other times, the guards would force the prisoners to sever one of their own body parts and eat it as food. There were days when the weather would get so hot and dry that prisoners who worked too long and went without decent nourishment would just suddenly become too exhausted and faint unconscious. The guards would whip and beat the prisoners and force them to wake up. If the prisoners were unconscious or dead they would place their bodies in a deserted area on the island and allow the birds who flew around the island to pick at the dead bodies. The Isla de los Condenados was not a prison — it was hell. On this particular day, a new prisoner has joined the others on the Isla de los Condenados: Renzo. Wearing his traditional gypsy Robin Hood outfit, Renzo looked like he was volunteering his time to help the other prisoners. In reality, however, Renzo was serving his sentence, and this was what he had to do until he was no longer alive. Renan, Jonás, and the other prison guards trotted around the island on their horses, checking on the other prisoners to see if they were doing their job. If any of the prisoners slacked off for even a second, they would whack him with a belt and tell him to keep working. There was no sleeping on this job, but if any prisoner would like to do that, the guards can arrange that and put him to sleep...permanently. Isa Valenti was playing hard to get with Humberto, and based on what Isa was wearing with that deep cut in her dress she sure was hard for Humberto to get. She ran around in circles here and there until Humberto grabbed her and kissed her passionately. Isa wanted to know if Adriana was taking it well marrying Rodolfo. Humberto was confident that she was, but he wasn't thinking about that right now. All he wanted to do was love and kiss and hug Isa and take her like a dog, because he knew she was a bitch in heat. Rodolfo wanted everything to go smoothly for his wedding with Adriana, but he was not expecting this. He showed up at El Castillo Astolfi and brought these beautiful white flowers to present to Adriana as they were about to get married. Suddenly Aya Petra explains to him that Adriana is not here. Rodolfo is annoyed. He demanded to know where Adriana went. Aya Petra explains that she and Patricio went somewhere, that somewhere being the Isla de los Condenados. Rodolfo wanted to break a piece of furniture or create more wrinkles on Aya Petra's already 100-year-old face. He understood that Patricio had been such a major distraction. He doesn't care about that, though — right now, he is going to look for Adriana and marry her whether she likes it or not. That beautiful princess is not going to ditch him during this prominent moment in his life. Aya Petra tells Rodolfo that Adriana has been very tormented, but that doesn't compare to the torment he is about to deliver to Adriana. He drops the flowers all over the floor and leaves, furious. Aya Petra looked at the flowers all over the floor and realized that this man Adriana is going to marry is a disgrace. Isa Valenti and Humberto look through the trees and see Adriana stepping down from a carriage with Patricio assisting her. Isa asks Humberto if that is his sister, and Humberto tells her that it is. Humberto is so proud of Adriana and comments that she is very special. Astrid de Mariner wanted to know why Rodolfo wanted to marry Adriana. Why didn't he choose her? Astrid's servant tells her that Adriana was very young and beautiful, and Astrid threatens to choke her. She thinks that the marriage between Rodolfo and Adriana will not survive.

        At the Isla de los Condenados, one of the workers is so exhausted that he just suddenly becomes unconscious and falls flat on the rocks in front of him. Jonás demands that the prisoner get up and continue his job. He then takes out his belt and whacks the prisoner with it, but it was no use. It looked like the prisoner had died. Renzo recommends Jonás to stop abusing this poor worker, but Jonás orders Renzo not to move a single muscle. Jonás continues to whack the prisoner with his belt, further demanding the prisoner to get up. Renzo, disgusted, throws down his pick ax in protest. He says to Jonás that the prisoner has worked very hard. Pedro Milleni also agreed, for Renzo had a reason to defend the prisoner. Jonás laughs it off and trots away, as Renzo assists the prisoner and helps revive him. The other prison guards demand the other prisoners to continue working. Fray Quintin is proud of Adriana for making this decision to get married and arranging it in this manner. Now Adriana is going to leave soon, to head to the Isla de los Condenados. Fray Quintin wasn't expecting to hear Adriana to say that. He wants her to listen to him — he prohibits her to do what she is planning on doing. He tries to reason with Adriana. After all, she is to get married momentarily. But Adriana has other ideas, and nothing can stop her. Not even Rodolfo....well, at least not yet. Humberto did his last-minute workout before his supposed wrestling match, performing some push-ups and other aerobic exercises to get himself loosened up. He and another opponent, Balthazar* (?), began their match, locking arms into each other and battling each other, muscle against muscle, determination against determination. Isa and the others who witnessed this duel cheered and applauded, as they saw a good battle. In the end, Humberto decided to try something he had seen in a recent joust and shoulder tackle Balthazar. He then punched Balthazar's face hard until Balthazar was down for the count. Humberto raised his arms in victory. Back at El Castillo Astolfi, Aya Petra presents a small souvenir to remember Adriana by. She had warned Adriana dozens of times to stay away from that island, but it was for the best of Adriana to go there and save Renzo, to reveal the truth of her marriage, and the truth of how he ended up there, but most importantly to meet Renzo for the first time. What happened at the forest was long gone. Adriana gives Aya Petra a couple of letters that she wrote last night. In tears, she says goodbye to Aya Petra and thanks her for all the support she had given her in her time of crisis. Adriana and Patricio get on a horse and trot away, but Adriana couldn't help but look at Aya Petra for perhaps the last time. It looks like Humberto did not win his match after all. After Balthazar regained some consciousness, he exerts enough energy to kick Humberto in the balls. That really had to hurt, and Humberto knew it. Humberto then retaliates by grabbing Balthazar's foot and throwing him onto the ground. Isa Valenti dances prances around like a cheerleader. Balthazar gets up again, and Humberto punches him in the stomach, then decides to finish off Balthazar by throwing him into a stack of woven baskets. Humberto wins again, but his victory is short-lived when Balthazar kicks him in the balls again. Humberto decides not to take any more of anyone kicking him in his nice balls, so he decides to finish Balthazar off by using his knee to knock him out. He wins again. Sebastian congratulates Humberto by shaking his hand, but that celebration is short-lived again when Balthazar gives Humberto an ax-handle from behind. Balthazar then gets Humberto into a strangle hold, but Humberto frees himself and elbows him in the stomach, then in the face. And to finally do away with him, he kicks Balthazar hard in his face, such that blood spews out from his mouth and spreads all over the playing surface. Humberto wins, and this time it was for real. Everyone who saw the fight congratulates Humberto, then decide to fight with each other. Manina, Zokka, and the others who were there escape immediately, and head out to find Adriana to stop her from going to the island.

        Patricio and Adriana arrive at a barren oceanfront, prepared to depart to the Isla de los Condenados. There were hundreds of people on the island, waiting to get on the small boats parked near the large rocks. Patricio explains to Adriana a terrible circumstance: That Rodolfo sent a gypsy to this island to save her brother from being here instead. Adriana immediately wondered if that gypsy was who she thought it was. Was it? She didn't have a flashback. All she thought about was that Rodolfo somewhat set her up to get married to him. After Humberto freshened up and got away from the chaos that was still going on after his match, he heard a loud, rough voice call his name. Humberto turned his head and focused his attention on a large horse and carriage. He then noticed the individual poking his head out from the carriage: Rodolfo Farnesio. Rodolfo demanded to know where his sister Adriana de Astolfi was. He figured that Humberto knew where Adriana would be. Unfortunately, Humberto did not know. He knew that she had not been at the castle. Rodolfo became tired of hearing all this bullshit. He stepped out of his carriage and threatened Humberto to a real fight if Humberto did not tell him where Adriana was. Rodolfo wanted to know where his wife was, and wanted to know NOW. He wanted his wedding with Adriana, and he will kill at will if he didn't get any answers. But Rodolfo's wedding would have to wait, because Adriana happened to be going to the Isla de los Condenados. She and Patricio looked around for a moment, and out of the corner of her eye, she could not believe who was also ready to join them: Dino. Dino staggered around until his eyes somehow captured the image of the woman with the long black hair and white dress. Adriana held her breath and felt Dino sneaking up toward her....and passing her by inches. She was fortunate that Dino did not recognize her. She looked over and saw Dino catching up with Jonás at a small boat nearby and chatting with him. She didn't know what they were saying, but she was relieved that Dino didn't find out she was here. Dino presents Jonás with a small bag that contains the hard evidence that sent one Renzo "El Gitano" to the damned island. Adriana and Patricio found a boat to travel on. They both trudge through the ocean water until they arrive to the boat. Adriana watches her step and climbs into the boat, trying to find space to sit with the other inhabitants. Patricio follows her, but Jonás holds him back. Patricio pleads to Jonás that her sister is on the boat, but Jonás doesn't care to hear that. An old man pushes the boat, and the boat slowly begins its departure. Adriana looks on as Patricio struggles with a couple of salvages who pushed him back, sending Patricio tumbling backward into the water. Patricio tried hard to catch up with the boat Adriana was on, but as the boat distanced itself from Patricio there was little he could do. He tried again to race after the boat, but again the salvage wrestled with him and dunked him into the water. Adriana called out his name, but Patricio turned around and walked away.

        Manina, Zokka, and another gypsy arrived just in time to witness Adriana sail away to the Isla de los Condenados. Manina tried to chase after the boat, but it was too late. Zokka and the other gypsy held her back. Manina was sad and frustrated. She tried again, but it was no use. The boat was already long gone. Adriana looked back at the island she was leaving. She wasn't leaving behind Patricio — the reality sunk in that she was leaving behind a lot more, and now she would have to deal with this by herself. Adriana and the others that traveled with her on the boat had boarded a larger ship. Once they were on the ship, they set sail to the Isla de los Condenados. Adriana sat by herself surrounded by other poor inhabitants. One of them, Lucrecia* (?), felt like picking a fight with her. Lucrecia commented to Adriana that she was very beautiful, then she looked at a ring on Adriana's finger and noticed that she was a princess. Lucrecia sounded almost jealous. Adriana wanted to know who this woman was that was starting something with her. Lucrecia was happy to tell everyone that Adriana could talk. She accuses Adriana for being an impostor and grabbed Adriana by her arm, dragging her. Adriana said nothing. Lucrecia was directly talking to Adriana, but one of the inhabitants separates the two. Lucrecia whacks this inhabitant, then Adriana tries to wrestle with Lucrecia. As Lucrecia was about to smash her face, Adriana raises her arm to block the oncoming hit, then levels Lucrecia with a right hook. Another one tries to fight with Adriana, but Adriana fights her off easily. She then positions herself in a fighting stance, looking over Lucrecia.

        While Adriana was involved in a fight, Humberto and Isa were sleeping together. They were not wearing anything. Humberto tells Isa that he loves her, and they kiss passionately. He also tells Isolda the same thing, despite both he and Isa didn't mind Isolda dropping by to check on the two and to clean up around their bedroom. Aya Petra is upset. She tells Fray Quintin that she tried everything she could to talk Adriana out of leaving. Even worse is that Patricio also went with Adriana. Aya Petra notices Patricio on horseback heading toward them. She is surprised and wonders why he didn't go with them. Patricio couldn't go because the salvages from the island and Jonás did not obligate him to go, much less allow him to go. Now Adriana is all by herself going to the Isla de los Condenados. The news upsets Fray Quintin, but upsets Aya Petra more. Jonás orders everyone on the ship to be quiet. He wants to know what is going on. Lucrecia states that Adriana is an impostor. Jonás then asks Adriana who she is. Adriana doesn't reveal her name, just a woman of all women, someone who is going to the island to rescue a gypsy. Jonás escorts Adriana to one of the ship's masts and sits her down. Lucrecia still wanted a piece of Adriana for being an impostor, Jonás has had enough hearing Lucrecia and everyone else on the ship. He again orders everyone on the ship to be quiet. Aya Petra could only wonder when Adriana, the little princess, will return to her. Fray Quintin announces that he will go there and bring Adriana back. The announcement shocks both Aya Petra and Patricio. Pedro Milleni and Renzo and view the blue ocean and listen to the waves washing up on the island. They both await the arrival of women on the island, and this was the first time that the island had allowed women. Before long, however, the ship arrives and so does everyone on board. Pedro Milleni and Renzo watch as people dressed in tattered and ripped clothes begin exploring this forbidden territory. Jonás privately asks Adriana what her name is, since for some reason he developed a sense of affection for her. Jonás helps Adriana out of the boat by picking her up and placing her nicely on the soft island sand. Adriana looks around the island and familiarizes herself with its barren and empty feeling. Little did she know that Zokka was also there with the rest of the group. From his distance, Renzo sees Adriana and is immediately incensed by her radiant beauty. He couldn't believe such a beautiful princess ended up on the island. He asks Pedro who that woman is. Pedro responds thatit was some poor woman. What was this woman's name? That's what Renzo wanted to know. Now that Adriana was on the island, Jonás was interested in finding out from Adriana the purpose of being here. He thinks that she came here to see her prince. He looks around. There was no prince there. Was it because her prince died? Well, maybe tomorrow morning it might be her prince, because he and the other prison guards were planning on killing one of the island's prisoners. In that case, if her prince has died, Jonás was left with nothing to do except put her back on the boat and send her back to where she came from. Adriana refuses to leave the island. At El Castillo Astolfi, Patricio announces to Aya Petra that Rodolfo Farnesio has arrived and has been searching for Adriana. Maybe now Humberto will get to the bottom of this. Maybe the mystery of Adriana's sudden disappearance from his marriage ceremony will be revealed. Fray Quintin is instantly terrified, and both he and Patricio head off into another room so Rodolfo does not see them. Rodolfo marches into the castle and confronts Aya Petra. There is one question, one thought, that comes out of his mouth: Where is Adriana. He came to see Aya Petra, because maybe SHE knew where Adriana could be. Rodolfo would tear this castle to ruins to find Adriana if Aya Petra didn't answer. Aya Petra promised to tell Rodolfo where Adriana is. She hands Rodolfo a letter that Adriana handed to her before she left. Rodolfo reads it, and now the big piece to the puzzle has been put in place.

        Jonás is feeling very intimate right about now, and tries to make love to Adriana. Adriana is not in the mood to make love to this dirty, filthy jerk. What's more, she is not returning to La Villa Florencia. Suddenly a young man orders Jonás to leave this woman alone. Adriana directed her attention to that man and she couldn't believe that this man was the same man she had seen the other evening. His name — Renzo "El Gitano."

     Subject: EPISODE VI -- (Broadcast on May 28, 2000) Author: Robyn Barnette Date: 06-03-2000 02:30 (Unfortunately I ran into problems when I wrote the summary. The tape I recorded the episode on got messed up during recording and some of the scenes got "scratched" and the audio got garbled that I could not hear the actors or actresses speak or understand what they were saying. So I made the best out of a bad situation and guessed as to what happened. My sincere apologies about this! :-( ) Jonás is feeling very intimate right about now, and tries to make love to Adriana. Adriana is not in the mood to make love to this dirty, filthy jerk. What's more, she is not returning to La Villa Florencia. Suddenly a young man orders Jonás to leave this woman alone. Adriana directed her attention to that man and she couldn't believe that this man was the same man she had seen the other evening. His name — Renzo "El Gitano." Jonás almost wanted to laugh, but he was in no laughing mood. He wanted to know what this Renzo character was saying. What Renzo was saying was that this woman he was seeing for the first time was his wife? Adriana couldn't believe it, the writer of this summary couldn't believe it, and neither could Jonás. Jonás asked Adriana if he was telling him the truth, if she was indeed the wife of this guy she herself never met before, the wife of this gypsy. Renzo caressed Adriana's face, and the feeling of his hand on her face persuaded Adriana to respond that yes, she was his wife. Wait...how can that be? Jonás didn't understand, but he believed her even though he could sense that she was lying. As Adriana and Renzo walked past Jonás and joined the other inhabitants who departed the ship they had traveled in, Jonás could only figure out the answer to that question. Jonás then escorted Adriana, Renzo and the others to work, yelling, screaming, ordering them all that there was work to be done. That what they were on this island to do, and that's what they were going to do. Rodolfo was puzzled. He still could not figure out for one thing, why Adriana referred to him in the letter as "Señor Farnesio." He would've preferred Adriana call him Rodolfo, or better yet Alejandro Camacho. Secondly, why Adriana ditched him and headed off to this unknown place which he has yet to figure out where she went. Maybe Adriana succumbed to too much pressure being forced to marry him and Adriana wanted to get away from it all, or at least that's what Aya Petra somewhat told Rodolfo. Rodolfo asked Aya Petra is Humberto joined Adriana in some way, but Aya Petra assured Rodolfo that Adriana went by herself. Isa Valenti tumbled down a hill and was aghast taking one look at the huge castle in front of her. It's majestic structure was just this short of....majestic. Isa pranced around the fields surrounding the castle like some lunatic. Meanwhile, Astrid de Mariner looked out her bedroom window and watched Isa. Astrid was not in the least bit pleased with this lunatic, this "little girl" who can never rise to her level. Isolda hinted to Astrid that if Isa can work at the castle, as a maid or servant or some other poor wretch, Astrid can gain the opportunity of capturing the sweetheart of La Marquesa Astolfi, Isa's future husband Humberto. Humberto is offended when one of the guys at the bar refers to him as "The Criminal of La Villa Florencia." He goes after him, but misses whacking him by this much. Everyone at the tavern, including Humberto, is drunk.

        At the Isla de los Condenados, one of the prison guards escorts everyone down a hill and to the area where all the prisoners worked. Everyone walked down the dirt rocky path, and as they did Renzo held Adriana's hand and tried to get to know who this woman was, his "wife" so to speak. He had never seen her before, but she had already seen him. Jonás still didn't believe that they were married. Renzo and Adriana walked toward where Jonás and another prison guard was, and the prison guard wanted to know who was his woman. He also didn't believe they were married. Renzo confessed and admitted — or at least tried to — that indeed both he and Adriana were married. They just "happened" to get married. Renan did not buy that. He was pushing Renzo to supply some kind of proof that they were. Jonás chewed on a slice of pineapple and spit it at Renzo. Renzo wanted to go after Jonás, but Renan held a gun right to Renzo's head, daring to pull the trigger at any moment. Renzo held back and both he and Adriana walked away, with Pedro Minelli following the two. Fray Quintin and Patricio were hiding behind a wall, keeping themselves out of Rodolfo's view. They knew Rodolfo was looking for them, but moreover Adriana. Fray Quintin almost sneezed, but Patricio knew how to keep him from sneezing. Rodolfo promises to Aya Petra that he isn't interested in finding out where Adriana is, but more interested in finding Adriana. Rodolfo marches out of El Castillo Astolfi, angry, disgusted, and overall furious. After he leaves, Fray Quintin and Patricio come out of hiding. Fray is able to catch his breath, and Aya Petra explains that she is certain that Rodolfo will locate Adriana and likely create havoc in her life. Even Fray becomes worried about Adriana, since he is sure that Rodolfo will do damage. Renzo and Pedro look over at Adriana, who was busy placing rocks and other materials in a basket. She looked very exhausted. She paused for a moment to look at Renzo. This was her husband? All she knew about him was that he was the guy she saw in the forest the other evening playing the violin. She didn't even know his name. Fray Quintin prepares for his departure to the Isla de los COndenados, so he can rescue Adriana and bring her back to Aya Petra. He struggles to get on the carriage, then the cariage driver struggles to get the horse to go in the direction he wanted to go. Back at the Isla, Lucrecia (*) finds Adriana and decides to mess around with her again. Adriana has certainly not forgotten that face. Renan notices tension erupting between the two, and Lucrecia tells Renan that Adriana is so gorgeous and a princess. Lucrecia told him in such a way that she wondered how Adriana ended up on the island? From a distance Renzo and Pedro notices Lucrecia starting something with Adriana. Renan warns Lucrecia that there is work to be done and no time for this, and he shoves Lucrecia away. Adriana uses her bare hands and digs them deep into the rocky dirt. She shows Renan her hands. The palms of her hands were littered with blood. Jonás takes her hands and tells her that she must be tired after working so hard, but he really was looking for something more deeper and Adriana knew it. Renzo wanted to kill Jonás right there, but Pedro held him back. Adriana would not surrender herself to Jonás' passion for her. Jonás then squeezes Adriana's hands so she feels more pain and licks the blood off her fingers. Manina holds Renzo's violin, knowing that it was the only thing she will remember of her son Renzo. She hoped that there would be a way to help Renzo escape and possibly prove his innocence. Manina tells Zokka that this whole mess was made possible by Rodolfo Farnesio, who didn't feel sorry for anyone. Meanwhile, Rodolfo Farnesio was on a quest to look for Adriana de Astolfi as he rode in a carriage. He and his henchmen trotted along a path, destined to find Adriana. That was what was on his mind at this point. Renzo tells Renan that Adriana's hands were in dyer need of repair. Did Renan care? Absolutely not. He pointed his gun at Renzo an told him to get back to work. Adriana makes Renan understand that her hands were too injured at this point to continue working, and she needed to have them bandaged. Renzo and Adriana then head to an area of the Isla so he can help Adriana. Isa is elated about the name "Isa de Astolfi." She can't imagine the feeling being married to Humberto in the near future. Isolda tries catching up with Isa, who is acting like the lunatic she has become. She advises Isa to calm down, and rightfully so since Isa was trying to do her rendition of the Can-Can, which she fumbled miserably. Back at the Isla, Renzo pours water on top of Adriana's injured hands. He asks why she came to this island. Was it because she was searching for her father? Her brother? Her husband? No. Adriana was searching for something much more. Renzo was attracted to every physical feature of this beautiful condessa, but what attracted him the most was her eyes. He then asks what her name is. He never figured out what her name was. Adriana, without any hesitation to reveal her real name to Renzo, chooses to call herself Luna. Luna, the free woman. Fray Quintin had trouble with the horse and carriage he traveled on. Fray could not get the horse, Griselda, to travel in the direction they were heading. Often times, they had to stop so that Fray Quintin could get off and try to get the horse to keep going. Rodolfo bangs on the door with his fist, demanding that the young boy in the room open the door. Jonás finds Renzo and Adriana at an empty area of the island and ordered them to come back to the island because they had to work. Adriana, or Luna, requests to Jonás that she and Renzo are about to have their marriage ceremony. Not a formal marriage ceremony like what she would've had had she married Rodolfo, but a ceremony where she and Renzo would swear their eternal love for each other.

        Aya Petra is suffering. She looks out the window, wondering where Adriana is, wondering if Adriana is okay. Humberto returns to the scene where he supposedly killed El Conde Daniel Discarpa, and as he looks around the scene comes back to haunt him. He remembered those words Daniel told him about Isa, the sword fight with Daniel, the fist fight with Daniel, and then what transpired after that. The feeling of regret crept in and the reality hit him that maybe this freedom he earned on Adriana's sacrifice was not as enjoyable as he thought. Maybe he would've been better off serving his sentence at the Isla de los Condenados. [Next few scenes were skipped because of problems on tape. See notes on top of page] Jonás finds Adriana and requests to come with him. He reveals his feelings for Adriana ever since he saw her on the ship. Jonás chases Adriana, circling around her with his horse. Adriana wants Jonás to leave her alone, but he has just begun. He gets off his horse and walks closer to Adriana, professing his love and affection for her. And he does — he grabs Adriana and tries with all his might to kiss her. Adriana screams in his face to let her go, beating him, fighting him off. At the tavern, Isa Valenti informs Aya Petra that Humberto is not here. Aya Petra slowly walks away, since she will find him herself. Adriana washes her hands, and as she does, she flashes back to the moment when Renzo held her hands, asked her who she was looking for — her father, her brother, her husband. She can remember that scene vividly. Pedro wanted to talk to Renzo about Luna. Renzo admits to him that Luna has captured his heart, and he is committed to make this love last forever, for him and for Luna. He and Luna have sworn their eternal love at the Isla de los Condenados. Adriana suddenly hears that violin playing again. Suddenly she feels herself in that trance, but this time she knows who is playing that music now. Humberto comes home, and Aya Petra is pretty upset that he came home very late. She had been wanting to talk to him. Humberto was very tired and wanted to go to bed. Not before Aya Petra handed him the letter that Adriana had given her before she fled. Humberto reads it and can't believe what he read. When Adriana pinpoints the location where she thinks she heard the music, she was in for a big surprise. Jonás appeared, and he had Adriana right where he wanted her, alone, with nobody else watching. This was the way he wanted it with her. The moment he grabs Adriana and tries making out with her, Renzo suddenly appears and demands to Jonás to let her go. Jonás let her go all right, then whacks Renzo with his whip. Later he points a gun at Renzo and vows to Renzo that he will be back. After Jonás disappears into the dark forest, Renzo asks Adriana what she was doing here. She heard music and she thought this empty area was where she heard it. Manina makes a prediction with her tarot cards and upon turning over the next card in the sequence she discovers a moon on the card. Moon....Luna....Renzo. Manina knew there was a very noticeable connection between those three. Adriana helps Renzo recover from the lash he took from Jonás. Renzo got whacked in the arm, and the pain was very apparent. Adriana grabs a washcloth and treats the wound, but Renzo tells her that it is not necessary for her to help him this way. Adriana dampens Renzo's arm with the cloth, then soothes it with her hand. Each caress on Renzo's arm drew her more closer to Renzo. She could feel her love getting stronger for him, the passion getting more fiery and intense like the small campfire burning between them. Her lips came close to Renzo's, and she knew she was prepared to drench herself in a gypsy love that would prove beyond eternal.... Suddenly Renzo announces that he is tired and it's time to sleep. Adriana stared at Renzo, wondering what happened to her gypsy love. Renzo stared back at Adriana, knowing that Adriana's gypsy love for him is there, and not that far away.

    USA, 6/4/00. Amor Gitano Summary for Sunday 6-4-00: On the Island of the Condemned, Renzo and Adriana are in his hut preparing to go to sleep as they both stare at the small cot..... Renzo: I've already told you that you have nothing to fear of me. You can sleep on the cot. I will sleep on the ground. (They each prepare to go to bed. Renzo grabs a blanket and lays it on the ground. Adriana climbs into the cot. He stares at her sleeping form) Adriana: Renzo, I appreciate indefinitely all that you have done for me. (Back at the Monestary) Friar Quintin: Believe me Sir Farnesio, it will be useless to go and visit the convent. Adriana has been secluded and she is not allowed to have any visitors for at least the next seven days. Rodolfo: I don't intend to visit my fiancee, Friar, I intend to get her out of that place. Friar Quintin: That is even worse. Adriana went to that place to obtain peace for her spirit. If you take her away from her purpose, you are going to have her distance her heart from you. (At the Astolfi Castle) Humberto: Is Rodolfo Farnesio aware of this? Aya Petra: He was here looking for your sister. I gave him the letter that Adriana gave me to give to him. He wanted to speak with you, but since you were not here. He went to look for Friar Quintin to ask him at what convent he went to take Adriana. I doubt the Father will tell him Humberto: The humilitation that my sister caused, he is going to want to take it against me. We have to convince her to return Aya Petra. Adriana can't abandoned me to the fury of Farnesio. Aya Petra: And you, you have been able to abandoned her to a future that she didn't desire right. (At the monestary) Alter Boy: You can't deny that what you did is bad. Look at how you made me lie in such a way. Patricio: (laughing). Sure, but it didn't cost you any problems. Alter Boy: Well, after the threat you gave me, I had to use all of my courage to look convincing before Sir Farnesio. But I know that I committed a big sin. What is my soul condemned to hell's fire. (Back on the Island of the Condemned) (Adriana is sleeping on the cot, but appears to be having a bad dream. In her dreamsleep she begins to speak out loud) Adriana: He can't be dead...I came to help him....I came avoid him from serving this sentence (Renzo, overhears Adriana speaking out loud and gets up off the floor to see what is wrong) Adriana: I have to find him...I have to find him... (Renzo approaches the cot to sit and extends his hand towards Adriana's face to touch her. Adriana is still restless in her dreamsleep) Renzo: You are so beautiful. Luna, Luna wake up Adriana: What are you doing next to me? How dare you? Renzo: You had a bad dream. I only approached you to wake you up. Adriana: Is it a gypsy custom to wake up another person with such a gesture. Renzo: If I had desire or impulse to take advantage of you..my duty would have been to separate myself from your side. I haven't failed to disrepect you so you can speak bad of my gypsy race. (Renzo goes to to sleep on the ground and leaves Adriana wondering what just happened) (In Isa's room, she is lying on her bed thinking) Isa: You will see Humberto Astolfi...I am going to learn everything to convert myself into a lady and then you will marry me. And I will enjoy the Astolfi fortune.

        (At the Astolfi Castle in the living room) Humberto: Do you know the problem that my sister has gotten me into. Aya Petra: What did you say Humberto? It has been you that has initiated this bad situation. You commited a crime that has indefinitely finished with your sisters tranquillity. You have obligated her to the point of exposing her life on the island..... Humberto: It is her who has put my life in danger. For leaving in such a hasty manner and without the consent of her future husband. Are you aware that I am sick. (Humberto is mad when he sees Patricio enter the livingroom) Humberto: You took her right. Right now you are going to take me to her. Aya Petra: It was Friar Quintin who arranged to take Adriana to the convent. Patricio nor I know the place where your sister has chosen to find her soul because of so many problems, because of your fault. (Humberto leaves) Aya Petra: Did you get the chance to reach the monestary before Sir. Farnesio? Patricio: Yes Petra.(Aya Petra is relieved) Aya Petra: Thank God (In Rodolfo Farnesio's bedroom) Rodolfo: What the devil are you doing here Astrid? Astrid: (Laughing)...I wanted to give you a pleasant surprise (she is lying in bed naked)...from the looks of it you aren't in the mood Rodolfo...is it your fiancee who has again demonstrated her enthusiam for the happy marriage that she waits for... Rodolfo: Don't start with your stupid ironies Astrid. Astrid: (laughing) (Rodolfo goes over to Astrid and takes a bowl in which he has just washed his hands in and pours the water all over her, then he begins to caress her) Astrid: I'm sorry lover, I didn't want to harrass you. I understand...there will be plenty dissatisfactions from the respectable Marquesa of Astolfi and you won't suspect how many Rodolfo: (Grabs Astrid by the throat and begins to choke her) Nobody ever tell you how to obey an order Countess of Marnier..I said that's enough..I don't want you ever to mention Adriana in my presence...If my impending marriage bothers you so much I will look for my fun somewhere else (Rodolfo then kisses Astrid) (On the Island of the Condemned, it is now morning. Renzo and Adriana are preparing to go to work) (Renzo sees Adriana cleaning her leg) Renzo: If you want, you get take a bath in the river Luna...I know a solitary place near the river before the evening sets. Don't worry, I won't disturb your intimacy...I will stay far away to ensure no one comes near. (Renan is walking towards the hut) Adriana: Please Renzo, don't misunderstand... Renan: (He hits the hut with his whip and scares Adriana) Get out...its time to begin the laboring (He goes inside the hut and looks at his surroundings...he picks up a blanket) Renan: What a strange marriage you two have. What..don't you sleep together? What..your woman doesn't support being next to you...(he goes to grab Adriana's hair and Renzo pulls her away) Renzo: It's nobody's business Renan: Well Jonas will be very much interested than you think Adriana: I don't understand how important it can be for the foreman that a woman wishes the relaxation of her husband Renan: You are smart with words woman..I hope that you are as good with the work...hurry up (Renan laughs and leaves) Adriana: What if that man finds us out Renzo..if he finds out that we are not married Renzo: Then it would liberate you from being linked to a gypsy Adriana: Renzo, please understand me...last night I was feeling bad. Renzo: You spoke the truth Luna..You showed before me that your soul is not as beautiful as your body....you demonstrated your true feelings towards the gypsy's. Adriana: Don't say that.. Renzo: If you don't trust my race...then why didn't you tell the truth..that you were not the woman of a gypsy Adriana: This would give you favoritism...it would prevent any confrontations with the foreman..ok Renzo I will tell the truth (Adriana walks out of the hut and Renzo follows her) Renzo: Luna

        (Zokka, riding a horse, arrives at Rodolfo Farnesio's castle) (Isa is waiting in Astrid De Marnier's living room greeted by Violeta) Isa: Can you tell the Countess that I have arrived? Violeta: No, no I can't...my lady Astrid is not here Isa: That's strange...I always thought the woman of nobility were accustomed to sleeping in late..where has she gone at this hour Violeta: Indiscretion is a fine quality for a lady Isa: (Laughing)...is it you who will be showing me how an aristocrat should act (laughing) (In Rodolfo Farnesio's bedroom) Rodolfo: From here on out I don't want any more of your surprises Astrid..remember that real soon I am going to get married..I don't want any inadequate rumours to embarrass my fiancee Astrid: (laughing)...I believe you are going to convert into a boring man Farnesio...I hope it won't hurt your image of an impecable seductor (Rodolfo and Astrid are kissing when they hear a knock on the door, its Dino the servant) Dino: The carriage for the Countess is ready Astrid: I didn't say that I was leaving Rodolfo: No, it was I who gave the order...you have to forgive me but I have a very busy day (Astrid remains cool and leaves the bedroom while Rodolfo laughs to himself) Dino: My master sure knows how to take pleasure and treat the women and to have fun with their company...last night you enjoyed the favors of the Countess after spending all day with the Marquesa of Astolfi Rodolfo: Shut up..you gossiper...Adriana has secluded herself in a convent Dino: I can imagine that it must have you very upset Rodolfo: It won't be for very long..in a couple of days I will go personally to get her out of that place Dino: Yes, yes that is best...you wouldn't want your fiancee to begin to like the life of the convent and commits to a religious habit Rodolfo: Definitely...that of course I will not allow that to happen...I have submitted a note to the king to request his permission for my next alliance with the Marquesa of Astolfi and I'm not going to be taken for a fool..I don't allow no one to take Count Farnesio for a fool Dino: No, no...and be left without a punishment...the gypsy Renzo is already suffering for his boldness and very soon he will pay with his life (On the Island of the Condemned, Renzo catches up with Adriana, grabs her by the arm and forces her to turnaround to talk to him) Renzo: Do you know that awaits you if Jonas finds out that you don't have any man to defend you Adriana: What awaits for me at your side Renzo..bad treatments for a misunderstanding..be continuously mistreated...

So soon are you beginning to mistreat your woman gypsy...your not satisfied for being a liar and thief..you are also aggressive with your woman..you miserable (Jonas goes to whip Renzo) Renzo: Enough insults of my people...why don't you show your strength like a real man...I challenge you to a fight body to body (Jonas laughs) Adriana: Renzo, please Jailer: Come on Jonas, take the challenge Prisoner: Are you afraid of the gypsy Jonas: Shut up you stupids..ok..this fight is to the death...and be aware gypsy you have sentenced yourself. (Renzo and Jonas start to fight...a crowd of prisoners and jailers surround them shouting words of encouragement...Renan parts the crowd and holds his gun up ready to shoot...Renzo picks up an ax and is ready to kill Jonas with it) Renzo: You said this was a fight to death...but your not confronting a killer (he drops the ax) Adriana: Renzo...are you ok Renan: (Yelling) Back to work...move...work I said Adriana: Why did you do that Renzo...I'm sure from here on out Jonas is going to convert himself into your worst enemy Renzo: Don't worry yourself Luna..that's not your problem Hutid (Angry woman from ship): You should be happy gorgeous....two men have confronted death for you...strange how your man has been victorious but I don't think it will be him who will save your life

        (At the Astolfi castle, Humberto is sitting down at the dinner table eating with Aya Petra by his side) Aya Petra: Why don't you leave the life you have been leading...it is time that you settle down and take responsibility to administer the land inherited from your father Humberto: Rodolfo Farnesio will handle all of that once he is married to Adriana Aya Petra: Don't you think it should be something that you should do instead...it is your right as the inheritor of the Marquis of Astolfi ...you prefer to pass the time of your life with prostitutes like the one who came to visit you the other day (On the island of the Condemned) Pedro: You shouldn't have been so risky Renzo..you know that you are at an incomplete disadvantage Renzo: In all likelyhood I have been condemned and anyway I couldn't resist anymore...Jonas insulted my race and I won't tolerate it from anyone...not even from Luna...Yes Pedro, Luna hates the gypsys and thats enough for me to hate her too Pedro: At the cost of how much it hurts Renzo: Even from what I feel for her (At a river, gypsy woman are washing clothes along with Minina who is talking to Dinilo the head gypsy) Minina: The woman who appears in the cards seems to have true sentiments Dinilo...but she is being guided by lies next to my son...I have to warn Renzo Dinilo: It is written that this woman should arrive in Renzo's life..there is nothing you can do to avoid for the destiny to be fulfilled...you more than anyone else knows it Minina: My son is in danger...a woman can hurt him..could it be the some one that the cards are talking about (At the Rodolfo Farnesio's castle, he is pouring himself a drink in his study and hears Dino's voice) Dino: Master, master...you have a visitor that might interest you (Zokka enters the room) Rodolfo: What is this gypsy doing here? Zokka: If it is permitted, I would like to talk to you sir Rodolfo: Well ok...talk Zokka: I have come to beg for mercy for a gypsy...a gypsy who is paying for a hard sentence when he is innocent Rodolfo: (laughing)..what are you talking about.. I am Count Farnesio...Farnesio...do you really think I would intercede for a dispicable gypsy (laughing) Zokka: Please have mercy Sir Rodolfo: A gypsy, please...Dino for such a moment you have brought this gypsy woman before my presence...to ask for the life of miserable who is not worth anything...get her out of my sight (Dino grabs Zokka and starts to take her away) Zokka: Sir...If I were to tell you... Rodolfo: Out Zokka: ...that Renzo is not just a gypsy Rodolfo: Explain yourself Zokka: It is true Sir...through Renzo's veins runs gypsy blood, but also nobel blood Rodolfo: How can you prove what you are saying is true gypsy? How do I know if its not a lie just to get my help. Zokka: My name is Zokka and I have the ability to read the lines of any hand...I have very clearly seen the mix of gypsy and nobel blood in Renzo's life Rodolfo: You don't say...prove to me your powers of prediction...tell me what you see in my hand gypsy (Rodolfo offers his hand to Zokka) Zokka: There is no peace in your soul Sir...you fear the arrival of a man who also has your same blood Rodolfo: (walks around mad and upset) That's absurd...absurd...is there anything else you have to say about that gypsy which can justify the story which you have come to tell me Dino: Talk, talk girl...say what you know Zokka: I can only speak of what my eyes have seen Rodolfo: That is not enough to believe that you are telling me the truth Dino: Out...out Zokka: Sir...Sir...please listen have mercy on me...

    USA. 6/11/00. Subject: Amor Gitano Summary (6-11-00) Author: Margie Date: 06-12-2000 22:26 Hi Everybody, This is the summary of Amor Gitano's episode of Sunday, June 11, 2000. Here are the highlights: In order to settle Jona's curiosity whether Adriana and Renzo are really husband and wife, Adriana is forced to demonstrate her affection to Renzo by kissing him. Renzo kisses Adriana passionately and after the kiss Adriana is left confused. But the kiss does the trick and Jonas is temporarily satisfied. At Rodolfo Farnesio's castle, Humberto is visiting with Rodolfo. Rodolfo informs Humberto that Adriana has secluded herself in the convent too long. Humberto tells Rodolfo that she went there to grieve the loss of her mother and Rodolfo is not to happy to hear that. Rodolfo is not to convinced and tells Humberto that Adriana better honor her agreement to marry him or else he would tell the authorities that Humberto killed a man. Humberto assures Rodolfo that Adriana will marry him. Humberto informs Rodolfo that he will go and get Adriana, but Rodolfo tells him that he wants to do that personally. Rodolfo asks Humberto to do him a favor and go to the gypsy camp to look for a gypsy named Zokka and ask her to come see him. Rodolfo tells Humberto not to ask any questions and to be discreet about his request. Isa Valenti is at Astrid de Marnier's castle starting her lessons in becoming a lady of nobility. She is reading a book and gets frustrated from the task. Violeta (Astrid's servant) tells her that reading is part of her training. Isa informs Violeta that a man doesn't need a woman who can read, but a woman who can give pleasure. Violeta tells Isa that with her vulgar thinking she will never learn the ways of an aristocrat. Renzo and Adriana are putting away the logs for the fire when Adriana tries to explain to Renzo about the kiss. Renzo tells Adriana not to worry because he understands why they had to kiss. Renzo believes that Adriana kissed him because she is looking for his protection to ensure her safety on the island. Adriana tells Renzo that he doesn't trust her and asks why. Why does he think that she still depises him for being a gypsy. Renzo apparently still holds a resentment towards Adriana for her remarks about him being a gypsy. She tries to tell him that she is sorry for the comment. Renzo tells Adriana that she shouldn't have come to the island because her presence here is risky and would cause death. Renzo tells Adriana this because he knows that there are other man who desire her and want her especially since he feels the same way too. Renzo tells Adriana does she think he will be able to protect her from all those men who desire her. Adriana informs Renzo that she is not planning on staying on the island any longer because the man she was looking for is dead and there is no other reason for her to stay. Renzo is surprised that Adriana has decided to leave. Since Renzo agrees that Adriana should leave, she asks him to put away their differences and he agrees.

        Humberto rides into the gypsy camp asking for a woman named Zokka to inform her that she is being summoned to the Farnesio castle. During the night, Brasilisa (Adriana's friend) get sicks and Adriana requests Renan's assistance to help her. Renan takes one look at the sick woman and immediately informs the others around them that it looks like the black death. Renan informs Adriana that the woman must be isolated immediately and she agrees to take care of her sick friend. Renzo is speaking to Pedro about his feelings regarding Adriana's departure from the island, but he agrees that is it better for her to go because otherwise her life would be in danger. Pedro tells Renzo that although it is going to hurt that she is leaving, it is better for the both of them. Santiago comes to inform Renzo that Adriana has been isolated in a hut by the ocean away from the others because of the sickness of Adriana's friend. Pedro overhearing this information tells Renzo that he knows what this black death is and if others are infected would kill them all. Renan goes to Jonas to tell him that a woman has become ill with the black death and Adriana has volunteered to take care of her. Upon hearing this news, Jonas is mad and upset that Adriana has gone to care for this woman. Jonas goes to see Adriana and leaves Renan alone in his room. Remembering that Jonas has a bag of coins, Renan searches the room and finds the bag and decides to keep it. Renzo, upon hearing the news from Santiago, immediately goes directly to the isolated hut to talk with Adriana. Renzo tells Adriana that she must leave the hut immediately. Adriana tells Renzo that she is determined to stay and help her sick friend because she feels sorry for her. Renzo is worried and doesn't want to leave Adriana in the hut because he feels that she can become infected with the same sickness and then die. Renzo tells Adriana that he will be able to support her departure, but not her death. Zokka is talking with her grandfather Dinilo and Renzo's mother Manina informing them that she went to go see Rodolfo Farnesio to beg mercy for Renzo. Zokka tells them that she knows Renzo has nobel blood and told Rodolfo Farnesio this information. Manina is shocked and upset with Zokka and tells her that Rodolfo Farnesio doesn't care about Renzo's life. Rodolfo Farnesio goes to the Astolfi castle to see Humberto and finds out that he will have to wait. Back at the isolated hut, Adriana confesses to Renzo that the man she was looking for has died and she wishes to help her friend in redemption for not being able to help the dead man. (Adriana thinks that Brasilisa's husband was the man she was looking for on the island). Jonas is yelling outside the hut pronouncing Adriana's name out loud. Adriana tells Renzo to go and inform Jonas that she wishes to stay in the hut to care for her sick friend. Renzo has a very tender moment with Adriana when he grabs Adriana's hand and places it over his heart because he doesn't know whether she will survive the sickness surrounding Adriana's friend. Renzo goes outside of the hut to confront Jonas. Jonas argues with Renzo and asks why he allowed Adriana to stay in the hut with the sick woman. Renzo tells Jonas that it was Adriana's desire to stay in the hut and he will respect her wishes. In her bedroom, Countess Astrid de Marnier is talking with her servant Violeta telling her why she is helping Isa Valenti become a lady of nobility. She tells Violeta that she is doing this deed because she knows that Isolda, the tavern keeper, has information which could ruin her. Astrid finds that this agreement could be used to her advantage. By helping Isa Valenti become a lady of nobility, Isa will be the tool to break up the marriage arrangement between Rodolfo and Adriana.

        At the Astolfi castle, while Rodolfo Farnesio is waiting for Humberto in the living room, he tells Patricio that when Adriana becomes his wife, he doesn't want to see him around her anymore. Aya Petra informs him that until that day happens, Patricio will continue to serve Adriana unless she herself dismisses Patricio from her service. Rodolfo is not pleased with Aya Petra's insolence. At that moment, Humberto arrives and overhears the conversation. Humberto confronts Aya Petra telling her that because of her rude remark to Rodolfo, she is to apologize to him. Aya Petra, in a humble manner, tells Rodolfo to forgive her for the remark she made. Rodolfo snickers. Near the river, by the light of the moon, Manina is saying a prayer. She looks to the moon and expresses her desire that the moon help guide her son Renzo. She wants Renzo to be careful because he is in danger. Back at the hut, Adriana is praying for Brasilisa's life. She asks that her friend be spared from death. Adriana wishes for Brasilisa to get better because eventhough she couldn't help her husband, she wants to help her friend get better from this sickness. While Adriana is inside the hut, Renzo is outside the hut near a campfire keeping watch. Pedro joins Renzo and tells him that if he doesn't get any rest he will have a hard time when they labor tomorrow. Renzo tells Pedro that not to worry, somehow he has developed feelings for Adriana and he doesn't want to leave her alone. Renzo asks Pedro if it is true what they say about the black death and Pedro confirms to Renzo that whoever is infected can die. Renzo is not convinced as to why Adriana would expose herself to the sickness and sacrifice her life for a man who she came looking for on the island. Renzo admits to Pedro that he has fallen in love with Adriana and he is not willing to lose her to this black death and tries to get Adriana out of the hut, but Pedro holds him back. Pedro tells Renzo to respect her decision. At the Astolfi castle, Rodolfo is telling Humberto not to say a word about his mission into the gypsy camp. In a humiliating moment, Humberto asks Rodolfo if he would help him financially for expenses. Rodolfo pulls out a bag of coins and drops it on the floor and tells Humberto that he shouldn't think that Rodolfo will be sustaining him. In the kitchen of the Astolfi castle, Aya Petra tells Patricio that he has placed his eyes on the wrong woman. He should not have fallen in love with Adriana because he won't be able to stop the marriage between Rodolfo and Adriana. Zokka leaves the gypsy came enroute to Rodolfo Farnesio's castle in hopes of getting Renzo freed from the island of the condemned. It is morning on the island and inside the hut, Adriana is sitting on the floor near the cot where Brasilisa is sleeping. Adriana has a momentary flashback in which she remembers the kiss she shared with Renzo and she asks herself why does she keep dreaming about this, could it be a memory she doesn't want to forget. Adriana gets up to check on her friend to see if she is feeling any better. Adriana sees Brasilisa holding her stomach and figures that maybe her sickness could be in her stomach. Brasilisa asks for water and Adriana realizes that the pitcher is empty and tells her she will go and get water. Adriana walks out of the hut and encounters Renzo. Adriana tells Renzo that apparently the sickness Brasilisa had was from a bad stomach ache. Renzo offers to go get water, but before he leaves he checks Adriana out and asks her how she is feeling. Adriana tells him she is fine. Friar Quintin arrives at the Astolfi castle with his alter boy Florentino and is greeted by Aya Petra in the livingroom who offers the Friar and Florentino to come and have breakfast. Friar Quintin tells Aya Petra that he and Florentino are fasting the morning's breakfast. Friar Quintin has come to tell Aya Petra about his frustration with Adriana. Humberto joins them. Friar Quintin tells Humberto that it is all his fault. Humberto tells Friar Quintin to stay out of his life. After Humberto leaves, Friar Quintin is upset that Adriana has gone to the island of the condemned. He knows the purpose for her going there, but doesn't like the fact that she went there all because of Humberto's fault. Zokka arrives at Rodolfo Farnesio's castle to speak with him. Rodolfo wants Zokka to find out all the information she can about Renzo's past. He wants to know if Renzo in actuality has blood of nobility. He tells Zokka to find out the dates, time and how Renzo ended up with the gypsy's. Humberto arrives early in the morning at the tavern and is greeted by Isolda, the tavern keeper. Humberto is demanding to know where Isa Valenti is. Isolda informs Humberto that Isa is being instructed in the ways to become a lady of nobility by someone. Isa wants to become a lady so a certain aristocrat will marry her. Humberto asks who is the person that is teaching her and Isolda informs him that for a price she will tell him where he can find her. He gives her the coin.

        At Astrid De Marnier's castle, Isa is being given a bath so that she can present herself as a lady with new clothes under the watchful eye of Violeta. Back inside the hut, Adriana tells a sleeping Brasilisa that she seems to be feeling much better and will be cured from her sickness. Renan has stolen the coins that Jonas has hidden inside his room. Renan asks himself where did Jonas get these coins and for what reason. He sees Renzo at a distance and then he remembers when Jonas told him that he is going to kill Renzo. He realizes that the coins are in payment for killing Renzo. Dinilo is talking with Manina and tells her that Zokka has left the gypsy camp. He is sadden that his granddaughter has left. After her meeting with Rodolfo, Zokka realizes now that she has a mission to try and help Renzo. As she is walking through the forrest, she is thinking about the day Renzo was arrested and framed for murder. In a memory flashback she remembers that only one person came close to Renzo that day and that person was Isa. (She believes Isa put the ring in Renzo's pocket) Rodolfo is determined to find out if Renzo is or is not his cousin, son of his Uncle Clemente. And if Renzo is his cousin, he knows that he has already taken care of having him killed because to Rodolfo, he is the only Count Farnesio. Humberto, riding his horse, sees Isa at a distance and trots up to greet her. Isa, having been bathed and wearing the clothes of an aristocraft smiles at Humberto who is pleased to see her in her new attire. Renzo asks Adriana if her friend Brasilisa gets better will she be leaving the island to go back to Villa Florencia. Renzo tells her that if she does, it would be better for her because she would not be in any more danger. Adriana is confused as to why Renzo is telling her that she is better off leaving the island. Adriana tells Renzo that he won't be taking anymore risks and she won't be either. Renzo tells Adriana that he would prefer she leaves because he can't stand the idea of having her near him knowing that they are not really husband and wife. Adriana doesn't understand why he is telling her this. Renzo grabs Adriana and brings her close to him. Renzo tells Adriana it is because of his feelings and what she does to him. Renzo explains to Adriana that she is in his thoughts all the time. End of summary.....until next Sunday.

Dino agrees with him and tells Rodolfo how fortunate he has been to be the owner of all the fortune he possesses.

Rodolfo tells Dino that due to his good mood he wants to celebrate and orders Dino to go to Astrid De Marnier's castle and extend an invitation to the Countess for dinner. Island of the Condemned: An accident occurs when falling rocks come sliding off the hillside down towards the prisoners who are in the rockpits. Prisoners start to scatter and others are unfortunate. Some prisoners become victims of the falling rocks and get injured or die. Renzo appears to get hurt from the incident.

        Inside the hut: Adriana is helping her friend Brasilisa. She tells her that she is happy to see her friend feeling much better and how she will eventually be able to leave on the next boat for Villa Florencia. Adriana tells her that she will go with her. Brasilisa asks Adriana if she is willing to leave her husband. Before Adriana is able to answer, Jonas shows his covered face through a hole in the hut and asks Adriana if the woman didn't have the black fever. Adriana confirms to Jonas that Brasilisa didn't have the black fever and she is feeling much better. Jonas enters the hut and goes over to Brasilisa to touch her to ensure the fever is gone.

Rodolfo tells himself that the gypsy woman better find the information he wants because he needs to know whether his suspicions are true or not about his cousin Renzo. He needs to confirm if Renzo the gypsy is the son of his Uncle Clemente. Rodolfo then rides away. Isolda's Tavern: Zokka is in a small room thinking to herself about how she can't trust Rodolfo Farnesio. She remembers that Manina told her not to trust Rodolfo because he only wants to hurt Renzo. Cleopatra enters the room and asks if Zokka has settled in and Zokka says she has. Cleopatra tells Zokka that there are other ways she could earn money and Zokka tells her she is not interested. Zokka asks Cleopatra if Isa is a friend of hers. Cleopatra tells Zokka yes and that she also lives there, but maybe not for long because she is going to be married. In the main hall of the tavern, Claudio (Humberto's friend) and Isolda are talking. He is asking Isolda for Cleopatra because he has a good time with her. Isolda tells him that she is glad to have him for a customer in her place. At that moment, Cleopatra is escorting Zokka to the area where she will be working. Claudio sees the gypsy woman and asks Isolda who she is. Isolda asks him if the gypsy woman is pretty. He agrees. Isolda tells her that unfortunately the gypsy woman is working as a servant and not as one of her courtesans.

        Island of the condemned, inside the caverns: Adriana is calling out Renzo's name. Renzo appears and she tells him that she thought something had happened to him. She is happy to see him and they embrace. Renzo tells Adriana that he is fine and not to worry about him. He tells Adriana that he has to go back out to the rockpit to help those who are possibly still alive. Adriana tells Renzo that she wants to help and he tells her no and for her to stay in the caverns because the wounded need help. Renzo tells Pedro that he leaves Adriana in his care and leaves. Inside the hut: Brasilisa is covered up laying on the cot crying. Jonas is seen tying his pants. It appears he has forced Brasilisa to have sex. Jonas, in a mocking manner, tells Brasilisa that there is not doubt that she is feeling much better and has recovered from her sickness. Astrid De Marnier's Castle: Astrid and Isa are talking and she asks Isa why Humberto came to see her. Isa explains to the Countess that Isolda told Humberto where to find her. Astrid asks Isa if Humberto came to the castle to speak to her about their possible engagement. Isa tells Astrid yes, but it won't happen until his sister comes back from the convent. Astrid is surprised to hear Isa tell her that Adriana has secluded herself in a convent. At that moment, Violeta escorts Dino into the livingroom where Astrid and Isa are talking. Violeta informs Astrid that Dino has come to the castle with a message from Rodolfo. Dino takes a good look at Isa and is surprised to see her there.

        Island of the condemned: Renzo is helping out with the wounded prisoners. Renan sees Renzo and tells him to get back to work because alot of time has been lost and the work needs to be completed. Renan, noticing that Renzo is not listening to him, pulls a gun on Renzo and orders him to go back to work. He tells him that the prisoners will work extra hours to cover for those men killed from the falling rocks. Renzo, who has had enough of Renan's orders is about to attack him when Santiago holds him back and tells Renzo to think about his wife. Santiago tells Renzo that Adriana loves him and would suffer if something were to happen to him. Renzo tells Santiago that for Adriana he will have the patience because she is very valuable to him. He tells Santiago that if he has to give up his life for her tranquility then so be it. Santiago tells Renzo that anyone who loves in that manner should not act that way. Santiago tells Renzo about his situation with his wife Maria and how he gave up his life for her safety. He knows that she is safe and everything he has done has been for her. At a different location, next to a small house by the ocean: Santiago's wife Maria is talking with her father who is telling her the day's work needs to be completed. Maria asks her father if he has heard anything about Santiago. Her father tells Maria that it would be better for her to forget about Santiago because Rodolfo Farnesio is the type of man who will never give Santiago his freedom. Maria disagrees and tells her father that Santiago is her husband and she will always love him. Inside the cavern: Adriana and Pedro have helped the wounded and there is nothing else they can do for them. They both leave to help the other prisoners. In the livingroom of the Astolfi castle: Patricio, Aya Petra and Friar Quintin are talking. Patricio is requesting that Friar Quintin let him go with the Friar to the island of the condemned to help Adriana. Friar Quintin tells Patricio that it is impossible for him to go because they only allow other Friar's and woman to go to the island of the condemned. Aya Petra tells Friar Quintin that maybe Patricio could disguise himself as a Friar and he would not be recognized. Friar Quintin explains that it would be another lie he would have to deal with. Aya Petra tells Friar Quintin that maybe he will need help when they go to the place where you go to suffer or die. At that moment, Humberto overhears what Aya Petra has said and demands to know where this place is that you go to suffer and die. Humberto assumes the three of them are talking about Adriana and asks where has Adriana gone to suffer and die.

        Island of the Condemned, rockpit area: Renzo goes to help Herasmo (old man with violin) when Jonas tells another of his jailers that this old man is not going to survive and orders the other prisoners to get back to work because he is not worth saving. Renzo tells Jonas how can he be so inhuman because the old man is suffering and needs help. Jonas tells Renzo that he has the solution. Jonas offers Renzo his dagger and tells him that this is the only method that will end the old man's suffering. Jonas tells Renzo that he can end the old man's suffering by using the knife. Renzo tells Jonas that he is not a killer and Jonas tells him to obey his orders. Pedro and Adriana overhear the conversation of what Jonas is telling Renzo to do to the old man. Renzo tells Jonas that he is crazy and he will not do it and if he were a criminal he would earn his position on the island. Renzo tells Jonas that he is not a criminal and he won't be one for Jonas. Jonas holds the knife at Renzo and tells him its his life or the old man's. Renzo tells Jonas for him to choose. Jonas pulls his gun and points it at Renzo. At that moment Adriana yells for mercy. Jonas asks Adriana what would she be willing to do to save the life of her husband. He ends his sentence with an endearing "my love". Renzo gets mad and tells Jonas not to say that to her. Jonas then proclaims an announcement. He informs the other prisoners by yelling that he is the owner of all their lives while they are on the island and as the jail foreman everyone has to obey him. Pedro asks Jonas what is he doing and Jonas tells Pedro that nobody better challenge him because he is in charge. Pedro tells Jonas that everyone knows the position Jonas has and for him to demand some respect and admiration from the other prisoners by allowing the wounded to be attended. Jonas leaves and Renzo helps the old man. Renzo is upset and tells Adriana never to humiliate herself before Jonas for him and asks Santiago and Pedro to help him with the old man. Astrid de Marnier castle: Astrid informs Dino that she would be delighted to have dinner with Rodolfo Farnesio and tells Dino that she accepts the invitation. Dino is about to leave, but before he goes he stares at Isa. Astrid informs Isa that apparently she has caused an impression on Dino. Isa tells Astrid that Dino knows she works at the tavern and since Dino works for Rodolfo he could tell him that she is a courtesan and she would never be able to marry Humberto because Rodolfo would be related to her if she marrys Humberto. Astrid tells Isa that its obvious that Dino likes her so maybe she could go to him and tell Dino not to say a word about what she is doing in learning the ways to become a lady of nobility and not telling anyone about her past. In the livingroom of the Astolfi Castle: Humberto is questioning Aya Petra what she meant by the place where you go to suffer and die. He tells Aya Petra not to lie because he overheard the conversation they were having about Adriana being in a place where you suffer and die. Aya Petra covers up by saying the place she was talking about was the convent. Aya Petra tells Humberto that Adriana has gone to this convent to seek peace for her heart ever since she found out an innocent had been convicted and sent to the island of the condemned to pay for the crime Humberto committed. Adriana could not support it anymore and went to seclude herself in the convent. Humberto gets upset, but listens to what Aya Petra is telling him.

        Astrid de Marnier's castle: Isa catches up with Dino to tell him if he wouldn't let anyone know that she is at the castle being taught the ways of becoming a lady under the guidance of Astrid de Mariner. Isa asks Dino a favor. She tells him not to say a word to anyone about her past as a courtesan. Dino asks Isa how she was able to get the help from the Countess and Isa tells him she asked for her assistance. Isa tells Dino that if he does her this favor, they can become friends and reminds him that she did him a favor once. (Flashback of Isa planting the ring in Renzo's pocket on the day he was arrested and accused for murder). Inside the castle, Astrid and Violeta are watching Isa and Dino through a window. Astrid tells Violeta that Isa will be a very valuable tool for the plans she has in mind. Island of the condemned, inside the hut: Brasilisa is laying on the cot crying when Adriana arrives. Adriana asks her if she is feeling bad again. Brasilisa tells Adriana that what hurts her is deep inside. Adriana tells Brasilisa that she will feel better soon and it would only be a matter of time. Adriana tells Brasilisa that when she leaves the island everything will be better. Adriana informs her that she will recommend her to go to a place where she will be taken care of. Brasilisa asks Adriana is she also leaving the island to go back to Villa Florencia. Adriana tells her that she will also leave. Brasilisa tells Adriana that Renzo is going to miss her and Adriana tells Brasilisa that she will miss him too. Inside the cavern: Renzo is holding Herasmo with Pedro by his side. The old man is saying that he is grateful to Renzo for saving his life, but that he knows he is going to die. In appreciation for Renzo trying to save him, Herasmo offers Renzo his violin and tells him where to locate it. At the gypsy camp: Manina is dealing some tarot cards and pulls the first card which is the picture of a magician. She tells herself this card says its a man who has manipulated things to his favor to get rich from someones fortune. She knows this man is Rodolfo Farnesio. She pulls a second card with the picture of a tower and tells herself that it is a secret that has fallen and that Rodolfo Farnesio knows who Renzo really is. Rodolfo Farnesio's Castle: Rodolfo is in his study waiting for Zokka to arrive with some news. While he is waiting he looks at the picture of his Uncle Clemente and starts to talk to it. Talking out loud he tells his Uncle of the dishonor he has done to the Farnesio name. Rodolfo tells himself that he will take care of any evidence that his Uncle Clemente ever had of his marriage to a gypsy woman. Standing at the door is Dino who has overheard Rodolfo's threat to his dead Uncle. Dino informs Rodolfo that Astrid De Marnier has accepted his invitation to dinner. Rodolfo tells Dino that whenever he wants Astrid, she will always come to him. Dino tells Rodolfo that whatever the master wants he always gets and then he snickers. (Dino knows about some documents from Rodolfo's Uncle that has always tormented Rodolfo's memories from his past). The documents is the last will and testament of Rodolfo's Uncle Clemente naming the sole heir to the Farnesio fortune. Rodolfo has taken steps to find out if Renzo is or is not the son of his Uncle Clemente and he has also arranged for Renzo to be killed. Rodolfo apparently does not have the will and if someone were to find it and realize that he is not the legitimate heir and that it states another persons name, then he would lose everything. Dino tells Rodolfo that everyone would find out that he is not the real Count but an imposter and laughs about it. Rodolfo pulls a sword on Dino and places it against his throat and Dino gets scared. Rodolfo tells Dino that nobody will ever find out the existence of Renzo the gypsy. Island of the condemned, at the rockpit area: Adriana is placing rocks in a basket and at a distance she sees Renzo and Pedro laboring. She thinks and tells herself that it is going to hurt her when she leaves Renzo and she never wants to leave his side. While she is thinking she is staring at him and he stares back. Renzo is also thinking and tells himself why does Adriana avert her eyes or is she hiding her feelings and he would like to know who she really is.

        Astrid de Marnier's castle: Astrid is asking Isa if Humberto told her why Adriana has secluded herself in a convent. Isa tells Astrid she doesn't know. Astrid tells Isa that Rodolfo is not too happy that his financee has secluded herself with the nuns and Isa laughs. Isa asks Astrid does she like Rodolfo and Astrid tells her that he is a close friend. Isa informs Astrid that she can count on her for anything and everything. Isa tells Astrid that she can help her gain the favors of Rodolfo. Isolda's Tavern: Humberto and his friends are drinking. His friends tell him that he looks troubled and is drinking heavily because maybe his sister will convert into a nun and not marry Rodolfo. At that moment a man walks into the tavern. Cleopatra announces to everyone that it is the man whom Humberto claims he killed. Humberto sees this person (believing it is the aristocrat Escarpa) and gets spooked. He stumbles and leaves the tavern frightened. Night on the island of the condemned: Renzo and Adriana are having their evening meal. He tells her that they need to talk. Adriana asks Renzo if he is going to scold her again because of what he had said to her earlier and he asks her to forgive him. He tells her that he has no authority over her, but was upset about how she humiliated herself before Jonas and he didn't like it. Adriana tells Renzo that Jonas actually wanted to kill him. Renzo asks Adriana why she defended him with such passion. Renzo then asks Adriana not to keep quiet about her feelings anymore and tell him. She in turn tells him that she doesn't know what he is talking about. He tells her he wants to know about her feelings. He wants to know why she interceded for his life and she responds that she couldn't let Jonas kill him. She tells him that he doesn't deserve to die. Renzo gets closer to Adriana and almost kiss, but he backs off and tells her that she is lying. He will not force her to tell him about her true feelings. Renzo asks Adriana about Brasilisa and she tells him that she is fine. He informs her that maybe she should go back to Villa Florencia tomorrow on the boat that is arriving on the island. This way she would be safe. She tells him that she is concerned for him and he says that soon she will have news from him and for her to get off this island because her safety is the most important thing for him.

        Rodolfo Farnesio's Castle: Humberto arrives at the castle very drunk demanding to see Rodolfo. He tries to push his way into the castle, but Dino blocks him when Rodolfo asks Humberto what he came to the castle. Rodolfo escorts Humberto to his study and very furious tells Humberto that he will not accept the drunken state of Humberto in his castle. Humberto shouts to Rodolfo that his sister is not going to marry him. Rodolfo asks Humberto what is he talking about. Humberto tells Rodolfo that his sister went into the convent because she doesn't want to marry him and that Adriana can't stand that her brother is an assassin. He tells Rodolfo that he is willing to tell the truth. Island of the condemned, inside the hut: Renzo is telling Adriana that the ship is coming very early tomorrow and he will not accompany her. She asks him why. He tells her that he can't say goodbye to her and that the moment he leaves the island he will catch up with her. He asks Adriana if she will wait for him. She tells Renzo that she doesn't want to give him any hope because she can't. He asks her why because he is a gypsy and she tells him that it doesn't have anything to do with him being a gypsy. He asks her why is she denying her true feelings for him because he can read it in her eyes and he feels that she doesn't love him as much as he love her. Adriana tells him that she can't love him. Renzo then tells her that just because he is imprisoned on the island doesn't make him a criminal. Is this why she resists in loving him. Renzo tells Adriana that he swears by his mother who he loves the most and also for her that he is innocent for the crime that he has been accused of. Renzo tells Adriana that he didn't kill a man by the name of Escarpa. Adriana is shocked to hear this information and asks him why. Renzo tells her that his only crime was to confront a very powerful man and help save the honor of a young woman from Villa Florencia. Adriana asks Renzo who is the powerful man and what is his name. Renzo tells her his name is Rodolfo Farnesio. Adriana realizes for the first time that the man who she came to the island to look for all along was Renzo. End of Part 1....to be continued Margie

Adriana, who has been crying ever since hearing the news about Renzo's incarceration, begs him to stop telling her more about this information. Renzo, not wanting to cause her any more pain, tells Adriana she should get some rest because this would be the last time they see each other on the island.

Inside the hut: Adriana is sitting on the cot and suddenly hears the sound of music being played from a violin. She says to herself that it is the same music she heard from the gypsy in the forrest and realizes it could be Renzo and leaves the hut in search of the music's origin. Near the campfire: Adriana walks towards the sound and sees the person who is playing the violin. She realizes it is Renzo, the gypsy from the forrest when she first heard the music in Villa Florencia. Renzo, who is playing the violin, feels someones presence. Adriana starts to walk away. Renzo realizes when he stops playing that Adriana has been watching him and calls out her name. Before she starts to leave, she turns around and walks toward him. Renzo tells Adriana that she was the woman in the forrest. He tells her that at that time destiny had united them through the sound of music. He tells her that destiny has brought them together again on the island even from the obstacles they have faced and tells her that he loves her. Adriana tries to tell Renzo that he doesn't know what he is talking about because she has never been in the forrest. Adriana feeling trapped leaves Renzo. Renzo (talking to himself ) tells a departing Adriana to go ahead and leave because he knows that she was the woman in the forrest. Renzo tells himself it is better that Adriana leave the island of the condemned. Adriana, who has distanced herself from Renzo, tells herself why can't she tell him the truth and confess to him who she is in reality. Both she and Renzo are crying.

Rodolfo tells Astrid he wants Adriana to become part of his treasures. Astrid tells Rodolfo that Adriana has used her time in the convent to attract him. Rodolfo tells Astrid that Adriana has promised to marry him and she will. At that moment, Rodolfo gets up and tells Astrid that their time together has ended because he has important things to do and asks her very politely to leave. Rodolfo leaves the room. Astrid tells herself that Rodolfo hasn't seen the last of her yet. Island of the condemned: The boats have arrived on the shore of the island of the condemned waiting for its passengers to board the ship that will take them back to Villa Florencia. In the rockpit area: Renzo and Pedro are in the rockpit. Renzo is working hard at his labor. Pedro tells Renzo that if continues to work hard he will wear himself out. Renzo tells Pedro that he is fine and Pedro tells him that maybe he is trying to forget Adriana. Renzo tells him that at that moment she must be getting ready to board the boat to the ship. Pedro asks him if he was going to see Adriana leave and Renzo tells him no because soon they will be together again. Renzo goes to leave and Pedro asks him where he is going. Renzo tells him that he is going to the river and then he will see the boats leave. On the beach by the boats: Adriana is talking with Brasilisa telling her that she hopes someday she will smile again and find someone special. Renan walks up to them and asks if they will be boarding the boat because it was ready to depart. Brasilisa tells Adriana they must get on board.

Adriana tells Renzo that Pedro tried to force her to get on the boat, but she didn't want to leave. Adriana tells Renzo that he is on the island injustly and its something that is burning her inside and doesn't let her live and it is the reason she is staying. She tells him that she is willing to share his same misfortune. Renzo turns Adriana around and asks her if she stayed for love and if her heart told her to stay with him by his side. Renzo holds Adriana near and almost kiss. Adriana tells Renzo that it was her conscience that dictated her to stay with him on the island. She would never forgive herself if something were to happen to him while she was gone. Renzo tells Adriana that together they will both leave the island of the condemned and find happiness away from this place that has only brought them sadness. Adriana tells Renzo that this nightmare has marked very heavily her heart forever and impedes her from loving him. Adriana tells Renzo that she needs to talk with him about the injustice that was committed against him and he stops her by saying that the injustice will be avenged. Renzo tells her that he is going to take revenge against the person who committed the crime and those people who helped him. Adriana asks Renzo who is he referring to and he tells her again. Adriana (thinking to herself) says she can't tell Renzo the truth that she is one of those people who has kept quiet about the crime because he would hate her and she would not resist his hatred. Renzo tells Adriana that he does not want for her to continue to live in this nightmare and he is going to take her to the boats on the beach.

Adriana produces a smile and is happy that they didn't make it in time for her to leave the island. Renzo walks up Adriana and caresses her face and stares into her eyes wondering that now she is at the mercy of the island again. Adriana tells Renzo that since he is planning on escaping the island, then she would like to go with him. Renzo tells Adriana that there was no reason for her to take this risk of escaping the island and that she could have left on the ship and would have been safe. Adriana tells him that he must understand that she can't leave him alone. Renzo tells Adriana that he will protect his and her lives together.

At the monestary: Rodolfo knocks on the door and Florentino opens it. Rodolfo asks to speak with Friar Quintin and Florentino informs him that the Friar has left on a trip. Rodolfo gets upset and asks if the Friar has gone to the convent without him and wants to know where it is.

        Mariner's castle: Isa is telling Astrid that she thinks Dino will not tell her about what is going on between Rodolfo and Adriana. Astrid thinks that Adriana is sacrificing herself because of the misfortune of the Astolfi family or maybe there is a horrible secret because she noticed how Humberto was worried after visiting with Rodolfo last night. Astrid is curious why Humberto didn't ask her permission to come and visit Isa. Isa tells her that maybe its because he is taking care of other things.

Renan tells Dino that there are others who are intertested in getting rid of the gypsy. Renan suggests to Dino that maybe it is he who wants to be rid of the gypsy.

Dino asks the children if they live in the gypsy camp. The children befriend him. The children ask him if he likes the gypsy's. Dino tells them that he has a friend named Renzo. Dino takes this opportunity to ask the children about Renzo's past. Rosalina tells Dino that Renzo is a prisoner on the island of the condemned.

Renzo tells Pedro that her silence confirms everything that he has been saying. Renzo tells Pedro that when he asks her, she keeps quiet and looks away. Renzo tells Pedro that she doesn't love him. Pedro tells Renzo that if he doubts her then he shouldn't go crazy over a woman like her especially since he keeps being mistreated on the island over her. Renzo tells Pedro that he loves Adriana, his heart is a slave for her and he can't fight against his feelings for her. Adriana is carrying a basket full of rocks and sits a moment to rest. As she sits down she begins to think back. (Flashback memorys) Adriana recalls the time when Renzo is explaining to her that he swears by his mother that he didn't kill a man by the name of Discarpa. She hears voices: Humberto saying he killed a man, her mother asking her to look after Humberto, she remembers asking who was the innocent man sentenced for this crime and Rodolfo saying that the man accused was a poor devil and Renzo asking her why did she come to the island of the condemned. She remembers when she and Renzo were at the river and he was asking her if she stayed on the island because of love. Adriana (talking to herself) tells herself how can she tell him that she loves him with all her strength. Her love is being hidden to cover up for her brothers action. How can she demonstrate her love to him because it is her fault that he is on the island. In a different location, the house by the ocean: Maria (Santiago's wife) and her father Martin are talking. He is telling Maria that he is happy that she learned to write from the teachings of the Friars. Maria tells her father that she could teach me and he tells her that maybe one day. Martin asks Maria if she would help him write a letter to Isa to let her know that he and his family had to leave Villa Florencia in a hurry and return to this house by the ocean. Maria wonders why Isa has not tried to communicate with them. Martin tells Maria that even though Isa grew up as part of the family, she chose to live her life with Isolda at the tavern.

Island of the condemned: Adriana is washing some bowls when Pedro approaches her to sit down beside her. Adriana tells Pedro that she is glad to see him and needed to speak with someone. Pedro tells Adriana that he also needed to talk with her and she asks him if something has happened. Pedro asks Adriana why is she staying on the island because he is concerned about her motives. Pedro tells her that if the man she came looking for has died, then why is she staying by Renzo's side. Pedro asks Adriana if she wants to ruin Renzo's life. Adriana looks at Pedro and tells him not to think bad of her. Adriana tells Pedro that she knows he likes Renzo almost like a son and that her only intention is to help him. Pedro tells Adriana that he will understand her persistence if she told him that she loved Renzo because he has noticed that she is not too sincere with Renzo. Pedro asks Adriana if she is hiding something from Renzo. Adriana tells Pedro please do not doubt her intentions because she needs Pedro to believer her.

Jonas tells Renzo that Adriana is pure fire, and the moment that Adriana was out of Renzo's sight, she started to seduce him. Renzo is furious and goes to attack Jonas. Jonas pushes Renzo away. Pedro is talking with Adriana and telling her that her presence has caused Jonas to mistreat Renzo more than any other prisoner on the island.

Rodolfo reminds Dino that he is his servant and doesn't obey his orders. Dino reminds Rodolfo that he is not his servant but his right hand man and he knows alot of information about Rodolfo. Rodolfo tells Dino that as his right hand man he is a disaster because he should have gone to the island to ask the foreman if he ended the life of the gypsy.

        Island of the condemned, rockpit area: Jonas is telling Renzo that he is superior over Renzo and Renzo has dug his own grave. Renzo tells Jonas that he would gladly go to his grave once he has finished with Jonas' life. Adriana reaches Renzo. She tells Jonas to stop and asks him why he can't leave Renzo alone for a moment. Jonas laughs and is amused at how Renzo uses his woman to defend him and without her he is nothing. Renzo tells Adriana to leave because she doesn't need to defend him. Adriana is about to tell Renzo that she wants to help but he yells at her to leave. Jonas tells Renzo that he should not mistreat a woman like the one he has. Renzo is grabbed from behind by one of the jailers and held by force. Jonas rides slowly up to and behind Adriana. Jonas grabs Adriana by the throat and holds on to her. Jonas tells Renzo that a woman like Adriana should be treated differently. Renzo struggles and trys to break free.

        At the gypsy camp: Dinilo and Manina are talking. Dinilo tells Manina that he is worried about her and how she is dealing with her feelings. Manina tells Dinilo that her only comfort is knowing that his granddaughter Zokka is with her son Renzo on the island.

Rodolfo Farnesio's Castle: Dino informs Rodolfo about the name of Nicola. Dino asks Rodolfo if this name meant anything to him. Rodolfo tells Dino that he doesn't know what he is talking about. Dino tells Rodolfo that isn't it the name of a gypsy who came to this castle years ago to give his Uncle Clemente documents which have tormented him all these years. Rodolfo tells Dino that he doesn't remember very well that maybe it could be the name Nicola. Dino tells Rodolfo that he found out that Renzo's father disappeared years ago and his name was Nicola. Island of the condemned, underneath a shaded hut: Jonas goes to the hut to lay down on a hammock to rest. Adriana approaches Jonas and tells him that he can't send Renzo to solitary confinement without any motives. Jonas tells Adriana that Renzo is an obstacle that will not permit him to be near her. Jonas tells Adriana that now that Renzo has been locked up who will protect her this evening. Adriana, using some tactic, gets closer to Jonas and asks him if he truly wants to spend the night with her. Jonas is surprised to see Adriana a little submissive and tells her that he would be more lenient towards her man and reaches out to touch her face. Adriana reaches out to touch Jonas' face and tells him that if she were to treat Jonas well would he stop harassing them. Jonas grabs Adriana and pulls her down on top of the hammock pinning her underneath him. Jonas begins to caress and kiss her and tells her that they are beginning to understand one another. Adriana struggles and trys to fight off his advances and reaches for his knife. She manages to push him off of her and gets up off the cot holding the knife towards her chest. Adriana tells a stunned Jonas that only in death would he have her and tells him that her life only belongs to her husband Renzo. Adriana tells Jonas that if he doesn't allow her to be by Renzo's side, she will kill herself. Pedro slowly starts to walk up to her and Adriana sees him. She informs everyone around her for nobody to come near or she will kill herself. Adriana begins to push the knife into her chest when Pedro calls her name. She is momentarily distracted when Jonas launches himself towards her to take the knife away from her. He goes to her and grabs her face with his hand and tells Adriana that since she is looking for mistreatment she will get it.

Dino tells Rodolfo that he finds it a very interesting coincidence. Rodolfo tells Dino not to imagine things that they could be two different people. Dino tells Rodolfo that he remembers the last time he saw the gypsy alive was at the castle. Rodolfo asks him what is he saying. Dino tells him that the gypsy took the road where nobody ever returns, especially in the dungeons of his castle. Rodolfo tells Dino to stop because he didn't like his insinuations. Dino tells Rodolfo not to distrust him because he is his loyal servant. Dino asks Rodolfo if he is happy to know more information about the truth regarding Renzo the gypsy. Island of the condemned, solitary confinement cells: Renzo is in his cell when he sees two jailers escorting Adriana to the other cell next to his. Adriana is placed inside the cell and the jailers leave. The cells are separated by a wall. Renzo asks Adriana how did she get placed in the cell. Adriana tells Renzo that it didn't matter how she got there because her purpose was to be with him. Renzo tells Adriana that he can't imagine how he has succumbed to this hell hole and found love on the island. Renzo asks Adriana why does he feel love if his love is not returned. Adriana tells Renzo not to torment himself. Renzo tells Adriana how does she expect him to feel because he is a gypsy and all he knows is how to live free under the stars. Renzo asks Adriana what damage has he done to deserve this mistreatment and this injustice for being incarcerated. Adriana tells Renzo not to speak that way. Renzo, sounding bitter, asks Adriana if she is defending those individuals who did him wrong. Adriana tells Renzo that they too are suffering for his injustice. Renzo tells Adriana that he doesn't understand her rationalization. Renzo tells her that her innocense doesn't allow for her to know that not even God can forgive how a man can be sentenced for a crime and be innocent especially a man who would never hurt anyone.

        Rodolfo Farnesio's Castle: Dino tells Rodolfo that he understands that this information is very distasteful because of the history of a man who supposedly may have disappeared from the dungeons of his castle. Dino tells Rodolfo not to quit and find the documents that could prove the identity of the gypsy boy who could possibly be Renzo. Rodolfo tells Dino that the he wants to end the matter of their conversation. Dino changes the subject and asks Rodolfo how did his journey go in search of Adriana and if Rodolfo brought her back to the Astolfi castle. He tells Dino that Friar Quintin has disappeared and he doesn't know where Adriana is. Dino offers to search for Adriana and Rodolfo tells him that he has ordered Humberto to search for her instead. Rodolfo orders Dino to find the gypsy who promised to bring him more information about Renzo. Dino informs Rodolfo that it would not be convenient for him to go back to the gypsy camp after what he found out today. Rodolfo warns Dino that if he doesn't go find the gypsy to find the information he is looking for, Dino will take the same route where other people have gone and never come back. Dino understands the order. Isolda's tavern: Zokka is cleaning off the tables full of bottles. Orlando, Claudio and his other friends are drinking and having a good time. Orlando is talking to Claudio and telling him that Humberto is wasting his time and should be at the tavern enjoying himself. Zokka is bringing a bottle to a table when Orlando reaches out to grope her ass and tries to grab her by the waist. Zokka is furious and drops the bottle. Orlando tells her that he likes her more than any of the other women in the tavern. Claudio grabs a knife and pushes Orlando warning him that if he touches her again he will have to deal with him. Everyone who was watching the incident starts to laugh. Zokka walks away. Island of the condemned, inside the solitary confinement cells: Renzo and Adriana, each in their respective cells, stretch their arms outside the cell to touch one another. Adriana tells Renzo not to think about it anymore because he is filling his heart full of hatred and revenge. Renzo tells Adriana that she is too generous because she always has something intelligent to say to calm his spirits. Adriana tells Renzo that she is happy to hear that his voice has returned to a more harmonious tone just like water runs through a river. Renzo tells Adriana that not to long ago he was able to see her eyes and now he consoles himself with just hearing her voice. Renzo asks Adriana why can't she love him because knowing that she doesn't love him causes him alot of pain. Adriana tells Renzo that its not that she doesn't love him because her soul is ashamed and impedes her from loving him. Renzo asks Adriana what shame is she talking about that maybe if she were to open her heart he could help her with whatever is bothering her because love can do anything. Renzo tells her that maybe the love he has for her will return peace to her soul. Adriana tells Renzo to forgive her because she doesn't feel capable to reveal her pain and for him to possibly see her as a sister.

        Night at the Astolfi Castle: Humberto is telling Aya Petra that first thing in the morning he is going to look for Adriana at all the nearby convents.

Adriana (memory flashback) remembers when Renzo told her that destiny had united them once and destiny will reunite them again. Adriana begins to pray to God and tells God that she loves Renzo more than her own life and that her heart belongs to him completely and there is nothing she can do avoid it because she will not get married to Rodolfo Farnesio. Rodolfo Farnesio has arrived at the convent and is talking with the Mother Superior and Friar Quintin. Rodolfo is telling them that he knows that the late hour is not an appropriate time for visiting his fiancée and he hopes that they will let him see her. Friar Quintin tells Rodolfo that Mother Superior Esperanza has consented for him to visit Adriana for just this one time only. Mother Superior Esperanza tells Rodolfo that she will have someone notify Adriana that he has arrived to see her. Friar Quintin tells Rodolfo that before he sees Adriana that he be understanding towards her because of the things she has been going through.

Sister Luz tells Adriana that she can tell Rodolfo that he won't be able to see his fiancée because she is not feeling well. Adriana tells Sister Luz that it won't be necessary because she has to confront him and tell him about her feelings.    At the Astolfi Castle: Humberto has arrived at the castle to find Aya Petra waiting for him. Aya Petra tells him that it was about time he arrived. Humberto, not in a good mood, orders Aya Petra to tell him where Adriana is located because he doesn't know how furious Rodolfo Farnesio is going to get once he tells him that he has had no luck in finding his sister. Aya Petra tells Humberto that Friar Quintin notified her that Adriana has been secluded in the convent of Las Mercedes. Humberto tells Aya Petra that she is lying because he went to that convent in the afternoon and his sister was not there. Humberto tells Aya Petra that he has had enough and wants her to tell him where Adriana has been hiding. At that moment, Brasilisa joins them and Humberto asks Aya Petra who is the woman. Near the gypsy camp: Jonas and Sakaria have arrived near the gypsy camp when they both hear people chanting in a prayer of mourning. Sakaria tells Jonas that they should go back to the tavern and he tells her that he needs to find out some information about a gypsy. At that moment, Rado walks up to them and asks Jonas what he wants and if he can help him. Jonas asks Rado if this is the tribe of a gypsy named Renzo. Rado tells Jonas that they are and asks him why is he looking for Renzo. Jonas tells him that he knows where Renzo is and Rado asks why was he asking for him. Jonas tells him that he is the foreman of the prison where Renzo is on the island and that he has come to deliver a message to Renzo's family. Rado questions Jonas about his concern over Renzo's fate. Rado tells Jonas that Renzo's mother died, and that Jonas can tell him the message because he and Renzo are like brothers. Jonas asks Rado if there is any one else he can deliver his message too, like his woman for example. Rado tells Jonas there is no one else and asks him to give him the message or leave.

        Island of the condemned, at night: Renzo is constructing the raft and remembers (memory flashback) when he saw Patricio asking Adriana if she loved a man named Renzo. Renzo asks himself what secrets does Adriana hide in her past. He asks himself what kind of relationship does Patricio have in Adriana's life and if she met him in the tavern where she works because he can't avoid the jealously that invades his thoughts. He can't resist that she could be with another man that is not him. At the convent: Adriana is waiting in a room when Rodolfo walks in and greets her. Rodolfo tells Adriana that once again he is able to see her beauty. Adriana tells Rodolfo to remember that he is in a convent and that he should be respectful. Rodolfo tells Adriana that he can remedy the situation because he is going to take her out of the convent and bring her back with him immediately. He asks her to make a decision to leave the convent. Adriana tells him that she can't satisfy his demands because she wishes to stay a couple of more days there. Rodolfo tells Adriana that it will be impossible because there were a lot of preparations to be made before the wedding.

While she is talking to the guard, Renzo, Pedro and Santiago are hiding along the bank of the river beside the raft they have prepared to use and escape the island. Adriana tells Renzo that she has a bad feeling about Renan's request and Renzo assures her that everything will be all right. She kisses Renzo and goes to the Jonas' room where she meets Jonas instead of Renan. Hidden in the same room where they can't be seen are Rodolfo and Dino listening to Adriana's and Jonas conversation. Jonas tells Adriana that he has found out that Renzo is attempting to escape the island. Adriana is surprised to hear the information. Renzo goes to the caverns to help with the sick prisoners and runs into Hutid. She tells Renzo that she wants to apologize for her misjudging him and Adriana. Renzo accepts her apology. Rodolfo Farnesio's castle: Manina tries to find a way to leave the castle grounds, but every time she walks toward an exit, she encounters one of Farnesio's guards. Humberto arrives at the castle demanding to talk to Rodolfo and he is told that the Count is not around. Island of the condemned: Jonas is questioning Adriana about Renzo planning to escape the island and she denies the information. Jonas tells her that he knows that Renzo has built a raft near the river. Jonas tells Adriana that Renzo won't escape now and that there is no mercy for attempting to escape. Jonas tells Adriana when a prisoner tries an escape attempt they deserve a bullet in the back. Adriana pleads to Jonas that she encouraged Renzo to build the raft to escape and that she should deserve the bullet. At that moment Rodolfo makes his presence known and tells Adriana that she will return back with him. He is surprised to find out that during all this time, she has been hiding on the island of the condemned and not in the convent like everyone told him. Jonas is alarmed to figure out that Luna and Adriana happen to be the same person and that she is engaged to marry Rodolfo. Dino tells Jonas that Adriana is the Marquesa de Astolfi and a very prominent figure among the aristocratic circles of Villa Florencia. Adriana tells Rodolfo that he is to blame for her stay on the island of the condemned. Rodolfo can't believe that she did it to protect her coward brother. She tells Rodolfo that she came to the island to try to rectify the damage done to an innocent man. He asks if that man is Renzo the gypsy. Adriana, in a menacing tone of voice, tells Rodolfo now that he knows the truth, she will speak to high authorities and tell them that Renzo was condemned for a crime he didn't commit and that in fact it was her brother who killed Daniel Discarpia. Everyone will have to live up to the consequences of this error. Inside the caverns: Renzo runs into Renan and asks him where is Adriana. Renan tells Renzo that Jonas returned to the island and asked for her. Renan tells Renzo that he is to go back to the rock pit to work and wants to know where Pedro is because he has missed several days of not completing his work. Rodolfo Farnesio's castle: Manina is inside trying to figure out how she can leave the castle. All the exits of the castle are heavily guarded.

Jonas informs them that since he has been convicted, he will have to serve his time. Adriana yells out that it is an injustice and Rodolfo tells her that she will have to return with him. Adriana tells Rodolfo that she will never go back with him and informs him that if Renzo is not set free, she will stay with him forever. Rodolfo tells Adriana that apparently she has great fondness for the gypsy. Adriana admits to Rodolfo that she loves Renzo and that no one can impede her from loving him. Rodolfo tells her that because of her love for Renzo, she will have to return with him if she wants to save his life. Jonas confirms that since Renzo tried to escape, his life is not worth anything. Rodolfo reiterates to Jonas if it is true that prisoners who try to escape are shot in the back. Adriana is disgusted with Rodolfo's accusations. He tells her that maybe they can reach an agreement. The condition is that Renzo will continue to live, if she agrees to return to Villa Florencia with him. If she doesn't agree, Renzo will be found dead from a bullet in his back. Adriana is left to ponder a decision. She tells Rodolfo that even though she gave her word of matrimony she didn't love him and her heart was free, now that she has found love, her heart belongs to Renzo. Rodolfo can't believe that Adriana, an aristocrat, has fallen in love with a simple gypsy. She tells him that Renzo is more of a man than Rodolfo, Dino and Jonas. Rodolfo just laughs. Rodolfo tells Jonas in a joking manner that he is to whip Renzo before he kills him. At the rockpit: Renzo tells Renan that he will work his part of the labor and make up for lost hours. He tells Renan that he needs to find Adriana. Renan tells him that he doesn't have permission to leave. Renzo tries to leave and a jailer whips him.

Jonas tells Rodolfo that now he knows who Rodolfo is, that Luna and Adriana are the same person and that she is the Marquesa de Astolfi, that Renzo didn't kill anyone, and that her brother Humberto is the real killer of Daniel Discarpia. Rodolfo gets enraged at Jonas. He reminds Jonas that they had an agreement which Jonas now wants to change. Adriana is crying as she waits inside the boat.

Renzo, under heavy pain, tells Pedro that he only wants to know where she is and why did she want to do him harm. Pedro tells him that he needs to calm down and that sooner or later the truth will be known. Renzo, crying in pain, tells Pedro that he needs to know the truth if Adriana is a saint or a devil. Jonas's room: Jonas is counting the coins he was given by Rodolfo when Hutid enters his room. He wants to know what she wants and she tells him that she is interested to know when the next ship will arrive to return back to Villa Florencia. She tells him that her husband has died and she doesn't need to stay on the island any longer. Rodolfo Farnesio's castle: Astrid de Mariner is told by Dino that Adriana has finally left the convent and returned to her castle. She is surprised to hear the news. Dino tells Astrid that Adriana became ill and Rodolfo didn't want to keep her in the convent any longer. Astrid figures out that since Rodolfo and Adriana never attended her dinner party, the illness must be very serious. Enroute to the Astolfi castle: While riding towards the Astolfi castle, Rodolfo tells the Doctor a story as to how Adriana became ill. He tells the Doctor that Adriana got sick from living and working under such harsh conditions while she was secluded in the convent. Rodolfo tells him he took her away from the place and brought her home. The Doctor tells Rodolfo that if Adriana had a difficult time while she stayed at the convent, then her illness could be very serious. The Doctor tells him that maybe he will have to postpone his wedding. Rodolfo tells him that the most important thing is to have his fiancée recover from her illness. He thinks and tells himself that Renzo the gypsy will never get her back. Astolfi castle: Humberto has laid Adriana's unconscious body on her bed and orders Aya Petra to change her out of the filthy clothing into new ones. Aya Petra asks Humberto where did they find her and why has she become ill. Aya Petra touches Adriana's forehead and notices that Adriana has a fever.

Aya Petra kisses Adriana's forehead and notices a charm she is carrying around her neck. Aya Petra looks at it and notices it is a gypsy amulet. She takes it off from Adriana's neck and hides it underneath her clothing so no one will see it. Island of the condemned: Pedro continues to try to cure Renzo's wounds and tells him that he can't stop the bleeding. Pedro tells Renzo that Jonas's fury has left him badly scarred, but it was better than receiving a bullet in the back. Renzo, who is in agony over the pain, tells Pedro that he would have preferred it because now he has to live with the doubt that Adriana has been the cause of all his disgraces. Renzo asks Pedro if he is right about Adriana abandoning the island. Pedro tells a crying Renzo that Santiago told him that they saw her leave the island on a boat accompanied by a hunchback. Renzo tells Pedro that it must be the same man who accused him of committing the crime. Renzo, in pain and angry, asks Pedro how Adriana could have left the island with the hunchback. Pedro tells Renzo that maybe Jonas was right and that Adriana did come to the island to secure his death. Renzo tells Pedro that he can't believe it. Crying, Renzo tells Pedro that Adriana loves him and wouldn't do anything to hurt him. Renzo, who has calmed down, recalls the night he and Adriana were married and tells Pedro that it is impossible to believe that she has betrayed him. He asks Pedro why did Adriana leave the island. Pedro tells Renzo that he has to stop torturing himself with all the information he now knows and that if he continues he will just confuse himself more about what could be the truth. Renzo, who has started to show signs of hatred, tells Pedro that Adriana could be guilty since she left with the man who accused him of murder. Renzo tells Pedro that if this is true, then Adriana did betray him and she faked her love for him. Renzo asks Pedro why did Adriana do what she did. Renzo's wounds continue to bleed and Pedro tells him that he needs to be cured. Renzo, in a hatred tone, tells Pedro that he doesn't care if he bleeds because now he heart is full of hate and he now holds a grudge against Adriana. He tells Pedro that she better hope he never gets off the island and if he does and she crosses his path again he doesn't know what he will do.

MY questions are Did Renzo and Adriana see each other yet? How did Renzo find out who Luna really is? and how the hell did he get rich? How is Countess Marnier related to Pedro? As for summary, basically what happens is that Adriana is pregnant and Farnesio is really mad. Renzo remembers Adriana but he is also mad at her. (well duh!). HE gets a flashback of Adriana and Farnesio getting married, but may be that was just his imagination.Zokka knows who Renzo really is. So then Adriana gives birth and is happy. Meanwhile Renzo talks with Isa and she is trying hard to get to him and he offers her to be friends, I dont know how sincere he was though. THen Renzo takes out his violin and starts playing and Adriana hears him and her memory (that apparently she somehow lost) returns to her. She desides to give her child to Isa and to go to Island to tell Renzo that he is a father. However her nurse does not trust ISa and she gives the child to Renzo's mom, who to hide it, brings it into a rich house. And of course it is Renzo's house. Adriana escapes the Farneseio castle by going in the same carriage as Petro only somehow they manage not to see each other. she gets to the island and there Renan and crew tell her that Renzo died. They put her and her guard in jail, but Farnesio bails them out. That is as far I saw. Cant wait till next week.

Part I: Adriana goes to her summer house to find her son missing and enlists the aid of Patricio to help her find Manina and little Pedro. Adriana is worried because now that her son is missing, her child is in grave danger if Rodolfo finds him. Adriana wanted to take little Pedro to Renzo to seek his protection for their child. Pedro visits Isolda at the Tavern and in conversations with her discovers the truth about Astrid de Marnier. Isolda tells Pedro that Isa Valenti is the daughter Astrid abandoned many years ago. Rodolfo, Isa and Dino discuss the bad luck of not finding Adriana's son. Rodolfo tells them he needs to find the child and will use Patricio to lead him to the child. Manina and little Pedro show up at the Minelli castle to seek refuge and hide from Rodolfo. Humberto made an appointment with Count Minelli (Renzo) and has Renzo meet him at the top of a cliff overseeing the ocean. Humberto tells Renzo that Adriana is innocent of all accusations and he and Rodolfo are the real culprits. Humberto tells Renzo that Adriana married Rodolfo to save him from being sent to prison and that the death of Count Discarpia was an accident. Renzo, who is so full of hate and can't see or hear straight, tells Humberto that he doesn't believe him and that he will destroy him, Adriana and Rodolfo for all the pain that he has suffered. Renzo tells Humberto that he will seek revenge against them for all that they have done to him. Isa also goes to the cliffsides to see whom Humberto was going to meet. She sees Humberto talking with Renzo. Adriana, looking for her son and Manina, falls off her horse in the middle of the forrest. Rodolfo orders that a horse be prepared for him because he wants to find Adriana. Manina asks Bernal to help her protect her grandchild at all costs because she fears for the childs safety.

Pedro finally realizes that Isa Valenti is Astrid's daughter and wants to help her because he thinks that Isa is the daughter of his good friend Maximilliano. Pedro starts to feel ill. Pedro finds the message sent by Humberto to meet Renzo. Isa tells Humberto that his plan to get money from Renzo failed. Humberto asks Isa to help him tell Renzo that Adriana still loves him and that they have a child. Isa tells Humberto that she hates Adriana and won't help him. Isa also tells Humberto that she hates him too. Isa won't help Humberto tell Renzo the information because she is interested in him. Adriana screams for help and Renzo having left Humberto a few minutes before rides up to her. Humberto finally realizes that Isa was using him and won't permit her to make a fool of him. Isa screams and Dino comes to her rescue. Dino and Humberto fight and in the process Dino manages to push Humberto over the cliffside. Humberto falls to his death below. Isa stands nearby witnessing the incident. Dino tells Isa that Humberto will never hurt her again. Isa is relieved. Adriana tells Renzo that she is lost and needs his help.

Rodolfo, while looking for Adriana, sees Humberto's dead body at the bottom of the cliff by the ocean. Two of Count Minelli's guards find Adriana and take her back to the Farnesio castle. Pedro asks Renzo why he went to meet with Humberto alone. Pedro tells him that he was worried because it could have been a trap. Renzo tells him that his meeting with Humberto did not go like he wanted. Isa, thinking to herself, realizes that now things are looking better with Humberto's death. She knows her secret of playing the Astolfi's cousin will not be revealed. She tells herself that she will pretend to mourn the death of Humberto. Dino asks Rodolfo how did Humberto die and Rodolfo tells him that it has happened in an inopportune time. Adriana returns to the Farnesio castle. Adriana tells Rodolfo that she is feeling worried and would like to retire for the evening. Rodolfo thinks that Adriana knows about Humberto's death. Adriana wants to know what Rodolfo is talking about and asks him to tell her.

Renzo tells himself that Humberto has paid for all the crimes he did. Bernal helps Pedro get in bed so he can get rest. Isa tells Adriana that she was waiting for Humberto at the Astolfi castle when she was told of Humberto's accident. Adriana tells Isa that it has come as a shock to all that Humberto was killed and that the killer is still free. Adriana asks Isa if Humberto had any enemies and she tells her that she found out Humberto had a meeting with someone at the cliffside. Pedro realizes that his health is failing rapidly. He knows that he needs to get a hold of Maximilliano's fortune so that he can give it to Maximilliano's daughter Isa but has to be careful that Astrid doesn't try to impede Isa from getting it. Rodolfo greets Count Minelli (Renzo) and tells him that with Humberto dead, he is Adriana's only support and family. Manina is looking forward to meeting Count Minelli (Renzo) to thank him for his hospitability but Bernal tells her that he had to leave because the Marquis de Astolfi had died. Manina realizes that Adriana must be mourning her brother's death and that she must also be worried over her son's whereabouts. Petra sees Adriana trembling from her pain and asks her if something is wrong. Adriana tells her nothing. Petra tells Adriana that she needs to be strong so that she won't get sick because her son needs her. Adriana tells Petra that she doesn't know where her son is because both Manina and her son disappeared from the summerhouse. Renzo sees Adriana approach Humberto's coffin. Adriana tells herself that he has paid dearly with his life for all he has done. Renzo approaches Adriana to pay his respects and tells Adriana that he doesn't hold any grudges towards the dead. Adriana is appalled at his remarks. Adriana accuses Renzo of killing Humberto. Renzo tells Adriana that she is crazy. Adriana tells Renzo that she doesn't want to continue to talk to the assassin of her brother and leaves. Renzo follows her. Patricio goes to see Friar Quintin to let him know that Manina and Adriana's son have disappeared and can't be found. Friar Quintin tells Patricio that a terrible tragedy has occurred and lets him know that Humberto is dead. Patricio can't believe the news. With the coffin open and Humberto's body exposed to the funeral guests, people walk up to him to pay their respects. Orlando asks himself who could have killed him. Isa walks up to the coffin to see Humberto and Astrid joins her. Astrid asks Isa if she is in pain over Humberto's death and that now that he is gone she is free to conquer a new love. Astrid tells Isa that she better not be interested in a particular one. Isa pretends to cry and wonders where Adriana and Renzo have gone. Renzo asks Adriana if she thinks he is Humberto's killer. Adriana tells him that she is sure he did it and wonders why he even came to pay his respects after killing him. Adriana tells Renzo that she knows that Humberto did alot of wrong things and he paid for it with his life but she can't conceive the idea of Renzo pretending to pay his respects when he killed Humberto. Renzo tells her that they have committed worse crimes against him. Adriana confronts Renzo and reminds him that he told her that he had just finishing meeting someone near the cliffside earlier in the day and that he had told her how much he hated them and seeked revenge. Renzo confronts Adriana and asks her if she has any proof of accusing him as the killer of her brother. Isa tells Rodolfo that many people have come to give Adriana their sympathy for her loss and she is no where to be found. Rodolfo tells Isa that he will look for her. Dino tells Isa that now everything is in perfect order. Isa tells Dino that he has been her savior and she will be forever grateful. Adriana tells Renzo that she will accuse him of Humberto's death and that he will pay for it because her brother's death will not be left unavenged. Rodolfo joins them and tells Adriana that he supports her and that the Police Captain has arrived to talk to her. Renzo tells Adriana that she should tell the truth about who killed Humberto.

     Part II: Renzo tells Adriana for her to say what she knows so that the killer can pay and be sent to the island of the condemned. Renzo returns to the funeral services and sees Isa. Renzo asks her how she is feeling and Isa tells him that even though she has suffered at the hands of the Astolfi's, she never wanted Humberto's death. Renzo is blinded by her pretense. Adriana tells the Police Captain that she doesn't know who could have killed her brother. Adriana returns to the funeral service to stand near the coffin where her dead brother's body is laying at rest. Renzo looks over to see Adriana and knows that she is in pain and would love to console her. Isa tells Renzo that she can't feel sorrow for Adriana because she knows that Adriana was also an accomplice of Humberto during the time an innocent was sent to the island of the condemned for his crimes. Isa is feeding Renzo with false information about Adriana's involvement in Humberto's scheme. Isa is using Humberto's death to play the role of a victim. Astrid approaches Renzo and Isa to tell him that he has ignored her during the services. Renzo tells Astrid that because of Humberto's sudden death he has forgotten his manners and asks her to forgive him. Astrid tells Renzo that Isa must be grieving and that she and Humberto where planning on getting married. It will take a long time for Isa to get over Humberto's death. Isa tells them that she needs to be alone and leaves. Renzo sees Adriana sitting down and approaches her from behind. He asks her if her meeting with the Police Captain was fruitful and if she told the Police Captain who Humberto's killer was. Adriana tells him that she kept quiet about who the killer is and that even though she knows the truth she will never speak to Renzo again. Renzo asks Adriana why didn't she tell the Police Captain that he was the killer or maybe because she is not sure he killed Humberto. Adriana tells Renzo that she will consider him dead before her eyes and he tells her that her reaction doesn't phase him because she is dead before his eyes too. Pedro knows that in order for Isa to receive Maximilliano's fortune, Astrid would have to recognize Isa as her daughter and that would mean Astrid would want to fight her for the money. Adriana tells Renzo to leave because his presence causes her profound pain. Renzo complys and leaves. Adriana walks over to the coffin to hold Humberto's hands and asks herself how could Renzo have killed her brother, knowing that she still loves him with all her heart but could never forgive him. Friar Quintin walks over to Adriana and Renzo sees him for the first time and realizes he knows the Friar. Isolda tells Martin that she doesn't think Isa will come to the tavern because the man she was going to marry, Humberto de Astolfi, was killed. Martin is surprised. Renzo tells Isa to stop by his castle because he would like to propose an offer to her. Isa wants to know what he is talking about. Renzo tells Isa that he is willing to offer her his castle for her to stay so that she can get away from her terrible ordeal with the Astolfi's. Dino sees Isa talking with Renzo. Dino tells himself that no one will know that he was Humberto's killer and if he got rid of Daniel Discarpia, he can also get rid of Count Minelli because Isa belongs to him and no one else. Isa will have to love him because now they share a secret between them. Adriana tells Friar Quintin that Humberto was changing his ways and that he wanted to be the brother she could be proud of. Friar Quintin tells her that Humberto is finally resting in peace and for her to be strong for her son. Adriana tells him that she still doesn't know where her son could be. It is morning and Adriana is standing next to the covered coffin. She tells her brother that now he can rest in peace and that she has forgiven him for all his faults. Martin goes to see Isa. Isa is furious with him because he is still determined to tell the authorities about his offense. Martin tells Isa that if he does he won't say anything about her involvement. Isa tells him that if he does, she will make sure his daughter Maria pays the price. Isa tells him to leave. When Martin is leaving, Manina approaches Isa to ask for her help. Pedro asks Renzo why did he ask Isa to come and live with them at his castle. Renzo tells Pedro that since Humberto is dead, they can take care of her. Pedro is in agreement with Renzo. Adriana is worried about where her son could be. Rodolfo goes to see Adriana to tell her that they are ready to go bury Humberto. Adriana asks Rodolfo if he has her son. Manina asks Isa to send a message to Adriana about her son. Isa tells Manina that she will tell Adriana but that it is possible Adriana can't see her because she is busy with her brother's funeral arrangements. Isa tells Manina that Adriana will be happy to hear good news about her son. Adriana wants Rodolfo to tell her the truth because her son has disappeared. Rodolfo tells Adriana that he promised not to harm her son if she succumbed to being the wife she is supposed to be. Adriana tells Rodolfo that she can't think anymore because now her brother is dead and she feels all alone. Pedro tells Renzo that he doesn't need a Doctor and Renzo tells him that he is worried about him. Renzo tells Pedro that he sees him as the Father he didn't know and never grew up with. Martin sees Manina and approaches her. Manina tells Martin that the young lady who helped her is very nice. Martin tells Manina that he doesn't think so, but who is he to judge her because he has committed is own crimes. Manina asks him why does he think that way and he tells her to forget it. Isa returns to see him talking with Manina. Martin leaves. Manina asks Isa if she told Adriana about her message. Isa tells Manina that she did but that Adriana can't see her now. Isa tells Manina that Adriana will meet her tonight near the crossroads of old Villa Florencia and for her to bring the child with her because she can't wait to see her son. Adriana asks Petra if Rodolfo would have her son would he tell her. Petra doesn't know but hopes that Manina is somewhere safe with her son. Manina asks Isa to tell Adriana that she will go to the meeting place. Isa, tells herself that tonight Adriana's son and Manina will disappear for her own benefit because she will get rid of any obstacles that will get in her way of conquering Count Minelli. Isa tells Rodolfo that she set a trap for the old woman who has Adriana's son. Tonight she will kill the old woman and get Adriana's son. Rodolfo is pleased. Adriana tells Petra that she can't believe someone has killed Humberto. She will never be able to forgive him for killing her brother. Petra wonders if Adriana knows who the killer is and asks her if she suspects someone. Renzo tells Pedro that Adriana accused him of killing Humberto. Pedro tells Renzo that Adriana doesn't have any proof. Renzo tells Pedro that he could have avoided Humberto's death because he was the last to see him alive. Pedro tells him not to blame himself. Renzo tells him that when he met Humberto at the cliffside, Humberto told him that he didn't kill Daniel Discarpia with his blade and it was an accident. Adriana tells Friar Quintin that she is feeling resentment and hate. Friar Quintin tells her that she should not feel that way especially because of her brother's recent death. Adriana tells Friar Quintin that she wants to confess to him that she thinks she knows who is her brother's killer. Friar Quintin tells Adriana that she should speak and tell someone what she knows. Adriana tells him that she must be paying for her past sins because Humberto's killer is none other than the father of her son. Renzo is wondering if Humberto lied to hide his crime or if someone else killed Count Discarpia. Dino tells himself that no one will know he has killed because of the love for Isa he has gotten two people out of his way. He tells himself that if anyone tries to get in between him and Isa he will also kill them too. Adriana tells Friar Quintin to believe her because her son's father has returned and that he is responsible for Humberto's death. Friar Quintin asks Adriana who it is and she tells him if he heard of Count Minelli. Adriana tells Friar Quintin that Count Minelli is Renzo the gypsy, the man whom she loves and is the father of her child. Friar Quintin tells Adriana that he doesn't know if this man has come back for revenge but that if he vowed to love her and lives in truth then to give herself a chance to doubt his malice. Friar Quintin tells Adriana that he doesn't think Renzo could have killed her brother. Adriana doesn't know what to think. Bernal tells Renzo that the woman who came to seek refuge with her grandson before has returned again. Renzo is pleased and wants to meet her. Bernal tells him that she has left because she had to meet with the child's mother. Renzo asks if the woman took the child with her. Night has fallen. Manina is waiting for Adriana. Rodolfo and Astrid are enjoying each other's company in his bedroom. Rodolfo is telling Astrid that with Humberto's death, Adriana will be mourning him for a few days but that afterword he looks forward to attending the Prince's dance. Patricio goes to see Adriana. Adriana asks him if he has news about Manina and her son. Patricio tells her that he has not been able to find them but will continue to look. Manina hears an approaching carriage and thinks Adriana has come to see her. Isa sees Manina and wonders if the old woman brought Adriana's child. Manina notices that it is Isa who is driving the carriage and thinks Adriana is inside. Isa uses the carriage and driving the horses at full force runs over Manina knocking her down. Adriana is worried in not knowing where her son could be. Bernal takes the child to Renzo and Renzo is happy to see the child. Bernal tells Renzo that the child looks alot like him and that they could pass off as being father and son. Bernal tells Renzo that shouldn't he think of getting married and having children of his own because he can tell that Renzo has been taken with the child. Aya Petra tells Adriana that she heard Isa had left the castle driving a carriage. Adriana thinks that Isa needs time for herself because of Humberto's death. Isa walks up to Manina's body and checks to see if she is holding the child. Isa discovers that Manina didn't bring the child with her. Renzo tells Bernal he has picked a warm place for the child to rest. Bernal tells Renzo that he wishes for the child's grandmother to stay with them for a while. Renzo tells him that it is possible that the grandmother has her own agenda to follow. Bernal tells Renzo that the child's grandmother was very worried over the safety of her grandchild. Renzo asks why. Bernal tells him that she insisted that no one find out that the child was staying with them. Bernal tells Renzo that apparently the child is in danger because there are people who want to do him harm. Petra doesn't think that Isa is really mourning the death of Humberto because during the services she saw Isa talking with Count Minelli. Adriana tells Petra that she doesn't think so because Isa cared for Humberto. Petra tells Adriana that she doesn't trust Isa. Isa tells Rodolfo that the old woman didn't show up for the meeting she had arranged and she probably escaped without any trace to find her. Rodolfo tells Isa that he was looking forward to getting Adriana's son so that he could get rid of the child. Isa tells Rodolfo that if the old woman did not confide in her then she doubts the old woman will approach Adriana again at least for a good long while. Pedro goes to see Isolda and she tells him that Humberto would frequent her tavern and that is how he fell in love with Isa who used to work for her. Isolda realizes that Humberto is the second man who is killed over Isa because the first was Daniel Discarpia. She tells Pedro that she doesn't think either killings are related because the first one was killed by a gypsy and who knows who killed Humberto. Rodolfo tells Isa that she is to tell Adriana what he wants her to know. Isa asks Rodolfo if maybe Adriana will cause a scene. Rodolfo tells her that she will help him to avoid it because she is a very smart woman. Adriana wonders and asks Petra if Isa had returned to the castle or could she have gone back to the Astolfi castle. Adriana tells Petra that she doesn't think Isa would have gone back there where memories are too painful. Adriana asks Petra if she should ask Rodolfo for his help in finding her. Rodolfo approaches Isa and kisses her on the neck. Isa tells him that she is helping him with Adriana's son but for him not to take advantage of her. Rodolfo tells her that he is the master of his castle and will possess anyone who he desires. Isa tells Rodolfo that she is interested in Count Minelli and he stops. Renzo goes to see the child again and asks himself how he will feel when the child's grandmother takes him away. Renzo starts to wonder why he has such an attraction for the child as if the child was a part of him but then thinks he must be crazy for thinking it. Isolda tells Pedro all about her past and how happy she is that he has become her friend. Bernal goes to see Renzo and to tell him that it is very late and the child's grandmother has not returned. Bernal tells Renzo that before she left, the grandmother told him to care for the child and not to give the child to anyone other than herself. Renzo asks Bernal if he thinks something has happened and Bernal tells him that he hopes not. Bernal tells Renzo that without his grandmother by his side, the child will not be able to rest for the evening. Renzo tells Bernal that he will look after the child for this evening and to bring the child to his room because the child will sleep with him. Preparing to go to bed, Adriana tells Petra that another day has gone by and she doesn't know where her son could be. Petra tells Adriana that Isa returned to the castle and might possibly come to see her. Isa tells Rodolfo that she will go see her cousin Adriana to tell her the news he wants Adriana to know. Isa tells Rodolfo that she will be aware of Adriana's activities and he tells her that she better let him know of Adriana's movements. Rodolfo tells Isa that he will be her allied in helping her conquer Count Minelli's affections. Adriana is in bed thinking to herself wondering why Manina has not contacted her to let her know where her son is. Renzo is holding the child and telling himself that he will watch over the child's sleep. Renzo tells himself that if only Adriana had told the truth they would be living in a peaceful place and would probably have a child like the one he is holding in his arms. Renzo wonders if Adriana hadn't betrayed him they would be sharing their love. Adriana is sleeping when Isa walks into her room to wake her up. Adriana wakes up to see Isa and asks her where she was because Dino had said she had returned. Adriana tells Isa that she thought she had decided to get some rest. Isa tells Adriana that she was waiting for Adriana's husband to retire to his room so that no one would hear what she was going to tell her. Isa tells Adriana that she needs to tell her something horrible about her son. End of summary  Hope you enjoyed, Margie

     10/21/00. Telenovelas-Internet.com. It is night and Adriana is preparing to go to bed with her Aya Petra's assistance. Adriana is telling Petra that another day has gone by and she has not heard a word about her son. Petra tells Adriana that maybe Isa knows something because Dino had told her that Isa had returned. Isa tells Rodolfo that she is going to tell her cousin Adriana the information he wants Adriana to know and will keep him informed of her activities. Rodolfo tells Isa she better let him know about all of Adriana's movements and in return he will become her allied in her quest to conquer Count Minelli's affections. Adriana wonders where Manina and her son are and why hasn't she made any contact with her. Renzo, holding Adriana's child in his arms, wonders why Adriana betrayed him and their love. He knows that he will never be able to forget her and looks at the scar which symbolizes the vow of eternal love they made to each other. Isa has gone to visit Adriana. Adriana wants to know what happened to her son. Isa tells Adriana that her son is in the hands of Rodolfo Farnesio. Adriana, upon hearing this information, is devastated from the news. Adriana tells Isa that Rodolfo promised her he wouldn't harm her son and wants to know how Isa found out. Isa tells Adriana that she heard some of Farnesio's guards talking about how they had found the child and the woman who took care of him and were on their way to capture them. Adriana tells Isa that when she went to the summer house she didn't find them there and that Manina probably fleed to avoid being captured. Isa tells Adriana that she immediately followed the guards into the forrest and managed to see the old woman and her son. Isa tells her that she heard the guards say they would take them far away and she tried to follow but without success. Adriana, in her moment of despair, hugs Isa and starts to cry over her son's ordeal. Rodolfo tells Dino that he managed to coerce Isa into telling Adriana that he had her son. Dino tells Rodolfo that Isa is a very beautiful and intelligent woman. Rodolfo agrees and tells him that Isa is proposing to conquer the affections of Count Minelli. Dino is surprised to hear the news. Rodolfo tells him that Isa wants his help in getting Count Minelli to love her. Dino tells Rodolfo that he shouldn't help Isa out. Dino tells Rodolfo that he is his most loyal servant and that he knows alot of important things about him. Rodolfo is confused why Dino is telling him this news and wants to know why. Dino begs him not to help Isa. Rodolfo doesn't understand why Dino is asking him not to help her and tells Dino that Isa is a beautiful woman who can fall in love with Count Minelli. Dino tells him that he has very important reasons why Rodolfo shouldn't help Isa. Dino confesses to Rodolfo that he is in love with Isa. Adriana, who has become furious over the news, tells Isa that she is going to see Rodolfo immediately so that he can tell her where her son is. Adriana starts to leave her room when Isa grabs her to stop her from leaving. Isa tells Adriana that she needs to act in a more clever way or she will cause Rodolfo to be furious and then have to deal with the consequences. Adriana, already in a desperate state of mind, asks Isa what she should do. Adriana realizes that her son is now in the hands of Rodolfo and if anything were to happen to her son she would die. Isa tells Adriana that she needs to be cautious because Rodolfo is doing this to her so that he can have control over her. Isa tells Adriana that she should try not to disobey him or provoke him to do something against her son. Adriana tells Isa that maybe she is right and will have to succumb to Rodolfo's orders. Isa tells her that she will try to find out where her son has been hidden. Isa tells Adriana that with Humberto dead all she now has is Adriana and her son to look out for. Rodolfo laughs at Dino about his affections for Isa. Dino tells him that he can hope Isa can love him. Rodolfo tells Dino that maybe he should look at himself in the mirror because Isa is more of a woman then he can desire. Rodolfo tells Dino that a hunchback would be the last person Isa would want to fall in love with. Dino is hurt by Rodolfo's words and asks that he not make fun of his looks. Dino tells Rodolfo that he would be capable of everything. Rodolfo asks Dino if he is threatening him. Dino tells Rodolfo that if Count Minelli even considers Isa in any way he would kill him because he wants Isa for himself and no one will stand in his way. Rodolfo tells Dino to calm down because he knows that Dino has been a faithful and loyal servant to him. Rodolfo tells Dino that he doesn't want to get involved in Isa's conquest of Count Minelli because he wants Count Minelli to be interested in Astrid de Marnier. Rodolfo offers Dino a cup of wine and tells him to leave everything in his hands. Morning has arrived. Pedro, Renzo and Bernal are watching the tiny child laying on Renzo's bed. Bernal tells them that they have all been taken in by the child's presence. Pedro asks Bernal what is the child's name and he tells them that from all the excitement of seeing the child's grandmother again he didn't ask her what the child's name was. Bernal tells them it is his fault for not knowing. Renzo tells him that when the grandmother returns they will find out. Renzo wonders why the old woman has not returned and thinks that maybe she had a problem and couldn't return right away. Rodolfo, looking at his loan contract, knows that he will have to confront Count Minelli soon about his bad investments. He knows that if he doesn't do something soon, Count Minelli might want to collect the large sum of money he borrowed so he has to gain time before that can happen. Adriana walks into the study where Rodolfo is thinking about his loan and marches up to the desk. In a furious tone of voice, Adriana orders Rodolfo to tell her where her son is. Rodolfo tells her that she has no courtesy. Adriana tells him that she wants to know where her son is. Rodolfo tells her that she will find out soon enough. Adriana reminds Rodolfo that he promised not to harm her son's life. Rodolfo tells her that he will comply like he told her before. Adriana tells him that he has no right over her son. Rodolfo tells Adriana that by law her son is as much his as it is hers. Adriana wants to know why Rodolfo has taken it out on her son when the child has done nothing to him. Rodolfo tells her that he is not a criminal and wouldn't harm her son but that it depended on her if she wanted to see him again. Adriana wants to know when can she see her son. Rodolfo tells her that whenever she wanted to but that everything in life had a price. Renzo, holding the child in his arms, tells Pedro that he needs to go for a ride to clear his mind and would love to take the child with him because the sun and air would do the child good. Pedro tells Renzo that Bernal mentioned how the grandmother didn't want anyone to see her grandson and that it would be dangerous if he were to take the child with him. Renzo tells Pedro that he is right and will see to it that the child is protected from all harm. Adriana doesn't like the game Rodolfo is playing with her about seeing her son. Rodolfo tells her that he needs to take care of his loan situation with Count Minelli. Adriana tells him that he is despicable. Rodolfo grabs and holds Adriana's body close to him and tells her that she needs to be careful because her son's life is in her hands. He caresses her face while she winces at his touch. Rodolfo tells Adriana that he has her son's life in his hands and if she doesn't do what he tells her that something bad could happen to her son. Holding Adriana's face in his hands, Rodolfo licks her cheek while Adriana demonstrates her distaste for his action. Rodolfo tells her that now she understands. Isa is waiting in the livingroom of the Minelli castle. She is remembering the time when Astrid de Marnier had agreed to help her become an aristocrat. She makes a promise to herself that one day the castle will be hers. Pedro and Bernal approach her to greet her arrival. Renzo has gone horseback riding and stops near the cliffside where Humberto fell to his death. He remembers the conversation he had with Humberto and remembers the time when he and Adriana had talked and he revealed himself before her. Unknown to Renzo, Adriana has also gone to the cliffside to bid her brother's soul goodbye. Renzo, holding his red voilin, approaches Adriana and starts to play his gypsy song. Adriana acknowledges his presence and greets him. Renzo asks Adriana why she has come to the cliffside. Adriana tells him not to stop playing his violin. Renzo wants to know why she is there. Adriana tells Renzo not to ask her any questions but for him to look at her and return to his violin playing. Adriana tells Renzo that through his music she fell in love with him before she knew who he really was. Renzo starts to play his violin again and tells Adriana that it is as if their love hadn't gone through so much turmoil. Adriana walks up to Renzo to caress his face and tells him that could it be possible that they can regain their love. Adriana tells Renzo to forget all that has happened and to return to the love they once shared. Isa tells Pedro that the only thing she is aware of her past is that her mother had abandoned her at the hands of a tavern owner. Pedro asks Isa if she was treated properly and Isa tells him yes. Living her life in a tavern was cause for an innocent young girl to grow up being exposed to a prostitute's ways. Pedro asks Isa that if it were possibly would she have liked to know who her mother was. Isa is taken by surprise at Pedro's remarks. Astrid de Marnier, accompanied by her servant Violeta, goes to visit Isolda at her tavern. Isolda is surprised to see her and wants to know if she has come to return the necklace she borrowed from her. Asrid tells Isolda that she came to see her because Isolda didn't acknowledge her requests for a meeting. Isolda asks Astrid why did she come to see her. Renzo calls Adriana by the name Luna and tells her that she belongs to him. He grabs her and they hug one another. Adriana reaffirms and tells him that she truly does belong to him only. Renzo tells Adriana that they still love one another and are together like they used to be. Adriana tells him that she loves him. Adriana and Renzo look into each other eyes and kiss each other tenderly. Adriana, caressing Renzo's face, tells him that she couldn't wait for this particular moment to arrive because there were many times she wanted to be back in his arms again. Adriana, who has ventured to smile and feel happy, tells Renzo that she wants to tell him something that will make his life very happy. Adriana tells him that it is something that will make him as happy as finding each other again. She tells him that it occurred after they had been separated and when she left the island of the condemned. At that the mention of the island of the condemned, Renzo's emotions change. He remembers what an awful place it was and his quest for revenge returns. Renzo screams at Adriana and tells her that he ended up on the island of the condemned because of Humberto's, Rodolfo's and her fault. Isolda asks Astrid why she wants to borrow money from her when she is a poor simple tavern owner. Astrid tells Isolda that she knows Isolda has money because of the many times she paid her in the past and that it wouldn't be hard to give her a loan. Astrid tells her that when she regains her fortune she will give Isolda a monetary reward. Isolda asks Astrid if she is sure to win the heart of Count Minelli, who is much younger than she and the son of her dead husband. Astrid tells Isolda that age is not an impediment and again asks Isolda if she will give her the money she is asking for. Isolda can only smile. Bernal tells Isa that he is sorry the Count was unable to see her. Isa asks him where did Count Minelli go and Bernal tells her that he went riding near the cliffsides. Renzo tells Adriana that once again he fell for her and believed in her sincerity that she loved him. Renzo asks Adriana what does she possess over him that for a moment he was able to forget his revenge. Adriana grabs Renzo by the shoulders and tells Renzo to listen to himself and realize what he is saying and not let his heart be filled again with hate. Renzo tells Adriana that he hates her and will make her suffer like his mother suffered. Adriana tells Renzo that she needs to tell him her most heartwrenching grief that she is going through. She tells him that her grief is what makes her worry about losing him again and asks him for compassion. Renzo, in a furious tone of voice, wants to know why she wants compassion. Renzo tells Adriana that because of her guilt his mother died and he will not be able to forgive her for it. Renzo tells Adriana that he curses her a million times over. Adriana tells him not to say that and is hurt by his words. She looks away from his cruel and harsh words. Renzo, for a moment, looks as if he feels sorry for what he told her. Adriana drops to her knees before him and begs Renzo to forgive her for causing his mothers death. Renzo tells Adriana to stay clear of him because he doesn't want to see her anymore. Renzo tells Adriana that he hates her even more for having him forget about his quest for revenge. Adriana asks him how could he be so cruel and with no mercy. At that moment, Isa approaches them on horseback and listens to them talk without them knowing she is near. Renzo, once again, accuses Adriana of knowing that her brother was guilty of the crime he committed but instead allowed an innocent man to take the blame. Adriana tells him that its true her brother should have taken responsibility for the crime because maybe he wouldn't have been killed by... Renzo looks at Adriana and tells her to go ahead and accuse him of the murder of Humberto because he doesn't care. Renzo tells Adriana that he wanted to give Humberto the right punishment for all that he did to him but fate dealt him another card and he died before receiving it. Renzo tells her that he wanted to see Humberto beg for clemancy. Renzo asks Adriana if she still thinks he is responsible for her brother's death. Pedro remembers the conversation he had with Isa and how she lived her life in a tavern. Pedro knows that Isa will suffer when she finds out who her mother really is and will try to help her attain Maximilliano's fortune. Pedro orders Bernal to prepare a carriage because he is leaving. In the hospital room of the convent, a nun is telling Maria that she can see her father soon. Maria tells the nun that she doesn't know why her father is acting the way he is because she has never known him to do anything wrong. Maria is delighted to hear that the Mother Superior has granted her permission to see her father. The Doctor disrupts their conversation by telling them that a wounded woman has just arrived and he needs their help. Adriana tells Renzo that she hurts to hear that his heart has been filled with so much hate and that because of his hate he is blinded by his actions. Renzo tells Adriana that they are responsible for his resentment. Adriana once again asks Renzo to forgive her. Renzo tells her that not even in death will he be able to forgive her and walks away. Adriana struggles to tell Renzo what she wanted to tell him, that they have a son. Renzo rides off while Adriana sees him leave. Adriana grabs her cloak and starts to leave when Isa approaches her. Adriana asks Isa why she come to the cliffside. Isa tells Adriana that she wanted to say goodbye to Humberto. Isa tells Adriana that she could't help overhearing the conversation Adriana was having with Count Minelli or Renzo. Renzo is riding and remembering the conversation he just had with Adriana. He turns his horse around and rides back. Isa tells Adriana that now she knows that Count Minelli is the gypsy who was accused of the crime Humberto committed and has come back for revenge. Adriana tells Isa that Renzo's heart is filled with hate but that she doesn't blame him for feeling that way because he has suffered at their expense. Isa tells Adriana that she too has suffered also and he should have compassion towards her especially being the father of her child. The wounded woman is Manina. The Doctor tells Maria and the nun that she was found on the roadway by a laborer and brought to them for care. Maria asks the Doctor if the woman will make it and he tells her that he doesn't know because she is badly wounded and only a miracle could save her. Isa tells Adriana that she has gone through some tough times. Adriana agrees with her. Adriana tells Isa about how she pretended to be a commoner from town and how she fell in love with him by performing a gypsy ceremony in which they joined their blood and vowed eternal love. Adriana tells Isa that she was forced to abandoned Renzo because Rodolfo had threatened to kill him if she didn't return to Villa Florencia and marry him. Isa tells Adriana that Rodolfo is a cruel man and what would happen if he were to find out that she had seen and met with Renzo. Adriana tells Isa that Rodolfo should never know that Renzo is alive because he would kill him without mercy.  Rodolfo is waiting for Astrid to speak with her. Astrid is surprised to see him. Rodolfo kisses Astrid on the cheek and tells her that she should hurry her plans to conquer Count Minelli because there is someone else who is also interested. Astrid tells him that she is aware of all the prospective suitors of Count Minelli. Rodolfo tells her that for his benefit only two can become the Countess of Minelli, one being Astrid and the other Isa Valenti. Astrid is not happy to hear this information from Rodolfo. Isa tells Adriana that she is very generous in protecting the life of the gypsy even though he despises her. Adriana tells Isa that his hate doesn't allow him to see straight, but that maybe he will change when he finds out that they have a son. Isa tells Adriana that she can't tell Renzo the information because his life would be in danger if Rodolfo found out he was the gypsy and the father of her son. Isa asks Adriana what would Renzo do if he found out they have a son and that his son is in the custody of Rodolfo Farnesio. Adriana tells Isa that Renzo would confront Rodolfo. Isa tells Adriana that Rodolfo would know that Count Minelli is Renzo and would have him killed. Isa tells Adriana that she should forget Renzo and pretend that he is dead in order to save his life. Pedro goes to visit Isolda and makes a toast for Isa and her future life as an aristocrat. Isolda laughs and tells Pedro now that Humberto has died, Isa will probably return to the tavern. Pedro tells Isolda that not if Astrid de Marnier does something for her since Isa is her daughter. Isolda tells Pedro that she doubts Astrid will do anything to help Isa. Isa tells Adriana that she better return to the castle so that Rodolfo doesn't question her. She tells Adriana that she will stay a while longer to say goodbye to Humberto. Adriana realizes that Isa cared for her brother even though he never told her that he loved Isa. Adriana takes her cloak and covers Isa with it and leaves. Isa tells herself that Adriana is such a fool. Isa tells herself that she has the luck on her side because she has Adriana eating out of the palm of her hands and it will not be hard to manipulte her the way she wants to. Isa figures that before Adriana can once again recover the love Renzo has for her, she will become his wife first. While standing on the cliffside facing the ocean, Renzo approaches a cloaked figure. Thinking that the person is Adriana he calls her name. When the person turns around he realizes it is Isa instead. Isa sees Renzo and greets him as Count Minelli or would he prefer the name Renzo. Renzo is taken by surprise. Renzo asks Isa why she mentioned the name. Isa tells Renzo that it is the name that Adriana referred to and that it is the name of a gypsy who was condemned for a crime a long time ago. Renzo asks Isa if Adriana told her about it. Isa tells Renzo that Adriana has had fun telling her the story of the poor gypsy who became a victim in her intrigue and with the help of Farnesio too. Renzo is mad to hear this information. Isa continues by telling him that she doesn't know why Adriana finds it entertaining to know that she sent an innocent man to the island of the condemned for a crime he didn't commit. Renzo tells Isa that he is not surprised about Adriana's actions because he knows her well. Isa tells Renzo now that Adriana knows he is the gypsy to be very careful because Adriana and Farnesio want to destroy him. Astrid tells Rodolfo that Isa will not take away what she considers hers and that she will never permit it. Rodolfo notices that Astrid has taken the news rather strongly and tells her that by her reaction it would seem that she knows something more. Astrid tells Rodolfo that Isa thinks she can exchange her life in the tavern for that of a life of nobility. Isa tells Renzo to forgive her for all that she has said because even though he has a similar resemblance to the gypsy she can't believe he is Renzo. Renzo asks Isa if she knew the gypsy. Isa tells Renzo that she knew he was a kind man who lived with his gypsy family and would never do harm to anyone. Isa tells Renzo that she is sure Farnesio and Adriana are setting a trap and that they will not stop until he is takes the bait. Pedro tells Isolda that he wants to give Isa what is rightful hers because Astrid took it all away from her. Isolda wants to know Pedro's motives for helping Isa and he tells her that he has grown fond of her and wants to help her. Pedro asks Isolda to help him convince Astrid to recognize Isa as her daughter and offers Isolda money. He tells Isolda that if she does then he will reward her with more money. Isolda tells Pedro that she thinks his quest is impossible and for him not to waste his money. Isolda tells Pedro that she knows Astrid de Marnier well and it won't be easy to convince her. Pedro asks that she at least attempt it. Astrid is telling herself that Isa will not win the battle against her. Astrid remembers that once before she managed to get Isa out of her way and if necessary she would do it again. Adriana tells Petra that she carries many heartaches. The fact that Rodolfo has her son, the resentment from her son's father, the loss of her brother and to carry in her conscience the death of a woman. Petra asks Adriana what she meant by the death of a woman. Adriana tells Petra that because of her offense, Renzo's mother died from anguish and pain. She tells Petra that Rodolfo, Humberto and her separated Renzo from his mother. Adriana tells Petra that the woman decided to die when she saw her son leave for the island of the condemned to a destiny which she knew he would never return from. Adriana tells Petra that now she understands the pain of being a mother because she would die if something happened to her son. Astrid, while riding her horse, encounters Renzo on horseback. Astrid asks Renzo why he has come to the Farnesio castle. Renzo tells her that he came to accompany Isa and was leaving. Astrid tells Renzo that she didn't know he and Isa were good friends. Renzo dismounts and helps Astrid off her horse. Renzo tells Astrid that he likes to be respectful towards Isa and Adriana. Renzo also tells Astrid that it doesn't mean that he is interested because their is another woman who has captivated his fondness. Renzo tells Astrid that she causes him to feel something for her. Astrid tells Renzo that he is right and that she too is interested in him. Renzo tells Astrid that he has to be careful who he cares for because love can be betrayed. Astrid tells him that it seems he has had a bad relationship in the past and for him not to judge others the same. Renzo tells Astrid that he believes he will find the right woman to love and hope that he not suffer any disillusions. Renzo tells her that he hopes its a woman who loves him for who he is and not is fortune. Astrid agrees. Astrid takes the opportunity to tell Renzo that Isa has fallen madly in love with Dino. Renzo is surprised to hear the news. Astrid tells Renzo that Isa and Dino have been secretly in love for a long time. Isa walks into a room to find Dino waiting for her. Dino is furious and upset.

Bernal tells Renzo that he ordered some guards to search for her. Renzo goes to Bernal and takes the child into his arms. Renzo tells Bernal that maybe the child's grandmother had to go a long way to meet up with the child's mother. Adriana tells herself that Renzo has every right to hate her because unwillingly she contributed to his mother's death and she knows that he will never forgive her. Rodolfo walks into the room and finds Adriana has been crying. He asks her why and she tells him that her conscience doesn't permit her to forget the damage their have done.

Rodolfo tells Adriana that they could be very happy if she wanted to. Pedro has gone to visit Astrid and she is surprised to see him. Astrid asks if Pedro has come to deliever a message from Count Minelli. Pedro tells Astrid that an old friend has asked him to protect his daughter and that he has come to ask her for a favor. Astrid doesn't understand and asks him what favor is he talking about. Pedro tells her that he would like for her to recognize Isa as her daughter Astrid is astonished by the request and asks if he has gone mad because she would never do such a thing. Astrid asks Pedro who is the friend he speaks about and how can this friend demand such a request. Pedro tells Astrid that it is not a request but an order that he is giving her. Astrid asks Pedro who does he think he is to order her to do what he asks. Pedro asks Astrid if she recognizes his eyes or the tone of his voice. He asks her if the years have changed him so much that she can't recognize who he is. Astrid stares at Pedro and finally realizes who it could be but doesn't want to accept it. When Astrid it about to say who she thinks he is, Pedro tells her that he is Pedro Minelli. Astrid is shocked.  Astrid tells Pedro that it is impossible because Pedro Minelli died on the island of the condemned and his body was thrown into the depths of the ocean.  Pedro tells her that she is right, that it is impossible to get away from the island, but tells her that he survived because of the hate and revenge as he holds Astrid in a tight grip. Pedro tells Astrid that his desire for revenge kept him alive. Astrid asks Pedro why did he come back from hell. She tells him that she is not afraid of his threats and reminds him again that she was not guilty of any wrong doing when the Regional Prince declared her innocent.  Astrid starts to laugh hysterically and tells him that he is dead and that he is nobody with authority to claim revenge against her. Pedro tells Astrid that she was declared free because he was generous enough to ensure that she not be charged for the crime and she owes him. Pedro tells her that she belongs to him. Astrid tells Pedro that he is crazy. She tells him that she didn't have anything to do with what happened because it was Maximilliano who betrayed him. Pedro gets upset and tells Astrid not to mention Maximilliano's name in vain because he knows the truth since Maximilliano left him some papers 20 years ago telling him how Astrid had betrayed the royal court. Astrid tells Pedro that he may not have lost his life on the island, but he sure has lost his mind. Astrid asks Pedro that if the documents did exist why didn't he present them to the royal court and pretend that he is dead. Pedro tells Astrid that he wanted to ensure that he would be the one to punish Astrid himself and not someone else. Astrid starts to laugh and asks Pedro what he plans to do with her. She tells Pedro that she should have known it was him since his fake last name was derived from the word revenge. Pedro tells Astrid that he did not try to hide behind his name, it was because no one had recognized him. Pedro tells Astrid that 20 years of prison life can change a man's face and he came back with the purpose of getting revenge. Pedro tells Astrid that she has been given some time from his desire for revenge because of her daughter Isa and that she will do everything that he wants. Pedro tells Astrid that Isa will get recognized by Astrid as soon as possible so that she may inherit the money that belongs to her. Astrid looks a Pedro through watery eyes. Pedro tells her that if she doesn't cooperate with him, then the Royal Court will receive the papers which describe in detail her betrayal. Rodolfo tells Adriana that she has the solution in her hands because he truly desires her and wants to make her his woman. He tells her that he won't force her, but will wait until her desire for motherhood overtakes her and then Adriana would succumb to his will and be the loving wife he so badly wants her to be. 

        Renzo is holding little Pedro in his arms. Renzo is telling the child that he is being inspired by the unconditional love the child is demonstrating to him. Renzo tells the child that he is so defenseless and needs protection just as if the child were his own son. Renzo gives little Pedro a tender kiss. Pedro is telling Astrid that he wants her to recognize Isa as soon as possible. Astrid asks Pedro why does he bother and what would he benefit from this action. Astrid tells him if he wants everyone to learn that she abandoned her daughter. Pedro tells her that it is never to late to rectify an error. Astrid tells Pedro that Isa hates her. Pedro tells Astrid that her daughter has a pure heart and is sure that she would forgive her. Astrid tells Pedro that she doesn't want Isa's forgiveness. Pedro asks Astrid who Isa's father is. Astrid tells Pedro that maybe it was a young soldier from the war that happened a long time ago. Pedro is confused at Astrid's remarks and wonders how she could be the mother of an angel like Isa.  Dino is telling Isa that from now on his master has ordered that she be given a room in his castle. Isa tells Dino that she knows how much she esteems him. Dino, grabbing Isa's hand, tells her that he loves her. Dino tells her that he has shown her how much he would be willing to do for her. Even kill for her. Dino tells Isa that he was jealous when he saw Isa arrive with Count Minelli. Dino repeats to Isa that he loves her. Isa tells him that she is moved by his words because she knows that he is sincere, but she has lived a life of misery and seeks to live a life of wealth. Dino tells her that he has money saved up and if she orders it the money would be hers. Isa tells Dino that he truly has shown her how much he loves her, but that she couldn't take his money away from him knowing that he has earned it through hard work. Isa tells Dino that her goal is to obtain the Minelli fortune and she tells him that she would share it with him. Dino is surprised at Isa's idea. Pedro is telling Astrid that the other Pedro Minelli is truly like a son to him and that he is very proud of him. Astrid tells Pedro that it is true how that so called son is very good looking, smart and probably working with him in this scheme of revenge. Pedro tells Astrid that Renzo has no idea of why he has come to order her to do in telling Isa that she is her mother. Pedro is about to leave when he reminds Astrid that he will be paying attention when Astrid tells Isa and recognizes Isa as her daughter. Pedro warns Astrid not to try to fool him and for her to be careful in not trying to harm Isa. Pedro leaves. Astrid falls down to her knees and begins to cry. Isa tells Dino that Count Minelli appreciates her very much and it won't be hard for her to conquer him. Isa tells Dino to understand her motives. Dino asks Isa if she would also marry him. Isa tells him that if that happens not to worry because all he needs to remember is that she is willing to share all the wealth with him. Dino wonders if Isa is telling him the truth. Isa tells him that she knows that he has been the only man who truly loves her. Dino tells Isa that he will always be by her side and will live for her only.  Renzo is sitting in his study when Pedro opens the door and walks in. Renzo tells him that he finally arrived and sees that Pedro doesn't look good and asks if he is alright. Pedro goes to sit down and tells Renzo that he is ok, it must be the years catching up with him. Pedro tells Renzo that he was at Isolda's tavern. Renzo tells Pedro that he sure looks as if he had a good time and Pedro tells him that Isolda is a very fascinating woman. Renzo tells Pedro that he had seen Adriana near the cliffs and for a brief moment had forgotten his revenge and spoke to her about love. He tells Pedro that he reacted in time. Pedro tells him that he must learn to control his emotions. Renzo tells him that he couldn't help it and after he left returned back to clear up his mind, but Adriana had already left. He tells Pedro that instead of seeing Adriana he met up with Isa. Renzo tells Pedro that he feels sorrow that Isa is at the mercy of them. Pedro tells him that real soon Isa's life will change. Renzo tells Pedro that of course it will because he will ask Isa to abandon Rodolfo's castle because he will not permit Isa to be a victim anymore. Adriana is talking with Aya Petra and she is astonished at what Adriana has told her about Rodolfo's demands. Adriana asks Petra if Rodolfo would allow Manina to continue to care for her child. Petra reminds Adriana that Manina arrived at the Astolfi castle running away from Rodolfo Farnesio and believes that he instills fear in her. Adriana wonders if Manina has been separated from her son because she has no idea of how he is and where he could be. Adriana, crying, tells Petra that she has to save her son. Manina is in the convent hospital being attended by Maria. She is speaking in a delirious manner and awakens to see Maria taking care of her. Manina is terrified and worried. Maria tries to calm her down. Manina tells Maria that she needs to know about her grandchild. Maria tells her everything is alright. Manina is very agitated and tries to get up from the bed. She tells Maria that she needs to take the child back to his mother. Maria tries to tell Manina that she can't get up from the bed. Manina tells Maria that she knows someone tried to kill her and that they will want to kill the child too. Manina tells Maria that she needs to warn Adriana. Maria assures Manina that she will help her if she calms down and stays in bed. Manina struggles to get up and falls down on the floor. Maria tells Manina that the doctor told her that her legs had been badly bruised and couldn't walk. Manina is devastated by the news and starts to cry.

        Rodolfo and Dino are in his study and Rodolfo is having a drink. He tells Dino not to worry and he will make sure Isa doesn't marry Count Minelli. Dino tells Rodolfo that Isa is determined to become Count Minelli's wife, but reminds Rodolfo that Isa is very important to him. Rodolfo tells Dino that it is important for him that he doesn't loose his palace as long as Astrid de Marnier becomes the new Countess Minelli. Isa is talking with Adriana and asks her if Rodolfo has told her anything about her son. Adriana tells her that he mentioned he has the child in his custody and has asked her to be his woman in exchange for letting her be with her child. Isa tells Adriana that maybe she should consider his demands because maybe that will be the only way she can recover her son. Adriana tells her that she repulses Rodolfo and detests his presence. Isa tells Adriana that she understands it would be a major sacrifice, because she knows how much Adriana values her son's life. Dino is in his room talking to himself. He says that everything he owns will be Isa's because he has to convince her of not marrying Count Minelli. Dino knows that Rodolfo will help him win Isa so that she can be his.  Rodolfo goes to Isa's door and opens it. Without him knowing, Aya Petra sees him walk into her room. Isa is on her bed getting ready to go to sleep when she is surprised by Rodolfo and tells him that it is very inappropriate for him to visit her at such a late hour. Rodolfo in the meantime has started to undress and tells Isa that if she would prefer that they go to the tavern to have a good time. He walks over to her and grabs her. Isa struggles and they both land on the bed. Rodolfo begins to kiss Isa and at first she continues to struggle but after a few minutes she starts to enjoy their passion. Petra, who saw Rodolfo go into the room realizes that it is the room he gave Isa. Astrid is telling Violeta that she has to proceed with caution. She doesn't want to lose Count Minelli because of Isa. Astrid tells Violeta that if she has to give Isa her last time, then it will be after she comprises Count Minelli. Astrid, crying, asks Violeta why did Pedro Minelli have to return from the dead and why didn't he die on the island of the condemned.  Adriana has changed into her nightgown when Aya Petra walks in to her room. Petra asks Adriana where she is going and she tells her that she is going to Rodolfo's room to give in to his demands in order to regain her son. Petra tells Adriana that she shouldn't do it. Adriana tells her that she really doesn't want to but if she has to sacrifice herself for the sake of her son then she will do it. Petra asks Adriana if she thinks that Rodolfo will return her son to her after he has made her his woman. Petra tells her that she doubts it will happen. Adriana, desperate asks Petra what she should do. Petra tells her to try and calm down. Adriana tells Petra that at least she has to try to convince Rodolfo. Petra tells Adriana that it wouldn't be a good idea to see Rodolfo right now. Adriana questions Petra. Petra tells her that it is too late for her to give herself some more time. Maria and a nun at the convent hospital tell Manina that she is very badly wounded and needs time to heal. Manina is depressed because she will not be able to walk right away. She realizes that she needs to regain her grandchild. The nun tells her that she needs to follow the doctors indications in order to heal much faster. Manina feels desperate that she won't be able to move for a while. Maria tells her that if she needs anything she will be able to help her with everything that she will need. Manina worries about the child and his mother.

    During a serious of scenes with music played in the background the following occurs: Count Minelli and Rodolfo are at his palace playing a game of chess as Pedro watches them sitting nearby; at the convent hospital, Maria is helping Manina; during a night of passion, Rodolfo and Isa are enjoying each other's company in her bedroom; Adriana is laying in her bed curled up holding a pillow and remember during a flashback memory when she and Renzo kissed when they met each other on the cliffside; Renzo is sitting by himself in his room looking at his wrist and suddenly slams his hand down on the table angry with himself and grabs a glass of wine to drink. Astrid is taking a bath and Violeta asks Astrid if she isn't worried that she hasn't done what Pedro Minelli has asked her to do or what would happen if Count Minelli finds out. Astrid tells her that she doesn't think Pedro Minelli will do anything to jeopardize his true identity during the party. Violeta reminds Astrid not to be alone during the party this evening. Renzo and Pedro are in his study and he tells him that Farnesio fell into the trap they set him up for. Renzo tells Pedro that Farnesio invested in the gold mines which failed to produce him anything. Pedro tells Renzo that he is sure Farnesio will try anything to ensure that he doesn't loose his palace. Renzo tells Pedro that Farnesio will not be able to do anything once he knows that he can't pay him the money he borrowed and will eventually get financially ruined. Then he will enjoy seeing Farnesio and his lovely wife broke and penniless. Renzo tells Pedro that even though he will ruin Farnesio financially, he still wouldn't pay for all that he has done to his parents. He tells Pedro that he won't stop until they pay completely with their lives. Adriana is telling Rodolfo that how could she possible go to the Regent Princes royal party since her brother's death has been so recent. Rodolfo tells her that enough time has passed during her mourning him and that she will go with him.  Adriana tells Rodolfo that she has not been able to forget Humberto's memory so soon. Rodolfo tells her that she should stop torturing herself because he will never return. He also mentions to her that if she is submissive then she is gaining some points in her favor about her son. Adriana is shocked to hear Rodolfo speaking to her that way and asks him when will he have pity on her and quit torturing her in that way. Adriana once again asks Rodolfo if she can see her son. He tells her that if she acts accordingly tonight at the party, then she can see her son. Rodolfo, grabs Adriana's hand to kiss it and reminds her that she should act like the happy wife she is and demonstrate to everyone that she loves him. Rodolfo asks Adriana if she is willing to pay the price. Adriana looks at Rodolfo is a disgusted manner. Isa and Dino are in her room. Isa is telling Dino that she is going to the party and that she has to make sure Count Minelli notices her so that she can continue her plan of marrying him. Dino tells her that he is not to happy with her plans. Dino tells her that he can't stand the idea of Isa being in his arms. Isa tells Dino that Count Minelli will be the instrument in getting the fortune that she wants. Isa walks over to Dino and asks him if he doesn't want to see her happy. Dino, acting like a lap dog, crouches down on his knees and tells Isa that he wants to see her happy. Isa tells Dino that he needs to confide in her that soon they will be enjoying riches together.  Night has fallen and the Regent Prince's royal party is underway. Guests are mingling and talking with one another. Isa is standing in the room not to far from where Rodolfo and Adriana are standing. Renzo arrives and walks over to them. He tells Rodolfo that he is surprised to see him at the party because of Adriana's mourning. Rodolfo tells him that enough time has passed and they decided to attend the party. Rodolfo grabs Adriana by the arms and tells Renzo that Adriana didn't want to continue being isolated from anymore activities. Renzo walks over to Adriana and tells her that he is happy to see she has recuperated so fast and as she extends her hand, he kisses it. She thanks him. Renzo turns to see Astrid de Marnier and also kisses her hand in welcoming her to the party. He asks Astrid if she would accompany him during the evening and she tells him it would be an honor. Renzo goes to acknowledge Isa in the same manner. Isa stares at Astrid and Adriana with cold eyes and swears to herself that Count Minelli will be hers. Rodolfo comments to Astrid and Renzo that he thinks they make a beautiful couple and asks Adriana if she agrees. Adriana tells him yes. He tries to caress Adriana but she pushes him away very discreetly. At that moment, a royal palace assistant announces the arrival of the Regent Prince. Everyone in the room bows and honors the Prince's arrival at the party. At the convent hospital, Maria is curing Manina's legs. Manina tells her that she is grateful to her for caring about her so much. Manina informs Maria that through her curing, the other patients in the hospital are also grateful for her assistance in healing their wounds. Maria tells Manina that she is happy to see her getting better and if she continues to heal then maybe she will be able to walk again. Manina tells Maria that if she recovers soon and can walk again it will be because of her caring. Astrid is telling Renzo that he has been staring at Rodolfo's wife for a while now and that possibly she could get jealous because of it. Renzo tells Astrid that he was watching Adriana because he can't believe that she has gotten over the death of her brother so soon. Astrid tells him that Adriana is the type of person to forget about tragedies. Renzo can't understand Adriana's disposition. Maria tells Manina that she is staying at the convent temporarily and that soon she will be reunited with her father again. She asks Manina if she needs anything. Manina asks Maria if she can help her write a letter and take it to Farnesio palace. Upon hearing the name Farnesio, Maria is shocked.  During the royal party, Adriana stares back at Renzo who has not stopped looking at her. She asks herself when will he stop having the look of revenge in his eyes because it causes her so much pain to see him look at her that way. Rodolfo tells Adriana that she needs to smile and enjoy the party. Adriana tells him that she can't because she is feeling sad over the absence of her son and the death of her brother. She tells him that she hates the fact of having to fake it in front of everyone. Rodolfo tells her that maybe her maternal instincts are starting to fade. Adriana tells him that it is a mother's love for her child that keeps her going. Rodolfo tells Adriana that they shouldn't sleep in separate rooms anymore. Adriana is mortified with the news.

        Manina is concerned over Maria's reaction of the name Farnesio. Maria tells her that it is nothing and that she will take the letter to the Farnesio castle. Manina tells Maria that the mother of the child will be happy to know that her son is safe and where she can find him. Manina tells Maria that it won't be easy for her to give the letter to the child's mother because she is always being watched. Maria tells her not to worry because if she can't give it to her then there is someone who is relatively close to her that can do her the favor. Maria tells Manina that this person grew up with her and that her name is Isa Valenti. Upon hearing the name, Manina is surprised. Rodolfo is telling Adriana that he will do everything to make her happy and Adriana tells him that he does everything to make her sad. Rodolfo tells Adriana that he loves her. She tells him not to say it because that offends her. Rodolfo grabs Adriana by the shoulder and she tries to back away from his touch. Manina asks Maria if she knows Isa Valenti. Maria tells her that they grew up together as sisters and that her father told her that she is living in the Farnesio castle like a noble woman. Maria tells her that she can ask Isa to pass on the letter. Manina reacts by telling Maria that for now she doesn't know if she will write the letter and when she does she will let Maria know.  Astrid and Renzo are talking alone away from the party. She is telling him that she likes the sound of his name. Renzo tells her that he is happy that she is accompanying him at the party. At that moment, Adriana starts to walk up to them and Astrid sees her approaching. Astrid takes advantage and gives Renzo a kiss as Adriana watches. Then Rodolfo calls out Adriana's name and realizes that he may have interrupted Renzo and Astrid. Adriana looks away embarrassed. Renzo tells Rodolfo that he doesn't need to apologize. Adriana tells Astrid and Renzo that it was not her intention to bother them. Astrid tells Adriana that maybe she too was looking for a quiet place to meet with her husband alone. Rodolfo agrees with Astrid. Rodolfo tells Astrid and Renzo that he is happy to see that they look like they are in love. He asks when will they possible announce their engagement. Renzo tells him that it could be possibly soon. Rodolfo asks Adriana if she will not also congratulate Renzo and Astrid. Adriana tells them that she is happy for them. Astrid tells Adriana that they will be happy together just like she and Rodolfo. Renzo tells Adriana that he is happy to hear her kind words and also tells her that Astrid is not the type of woman who would lie to him or fake being in love with him. Adriana can only stare as Renzo's words hurt her profoundly. With Astrid and Adriana gone, Rodolfo tells Renzo that he has lost a lot of money in the investments he made on the gold mines. Renzo tells him that he needs to take it easy because better days will come. Rodolfo tells him that he hopes so because otherwise he won't be able to pay him back the loan he gave him. Rodolfo tells Renzo that he may need more time. Renzo tells Rodolfo that he doesn't like to mix business and pleasure and that they can talk about it at another time. Isa is talking with Adriana. She tells Adriana that she needs to tell her the truth that Renzo hates her. Adriana, looking anguished, tells Isa that he doesn't know they have a son. Isa tells Adriana that maybe it would be better that Renzo never finds out that they have a son, otherwise his life would be in danger. Adriana tells her that if he knew, then he would be able to protect his son. Isa tells Adriana that if Farnesio finds out that Renzo knows about his son, he would kill her child. The Regent Prince and Pedro are talking with the Baron Lebron. The Prince is telling Pedro that he trusts Baron Lebron and that he can help Pedro find the person he is looking for. Adriana, feeling depressed, starts to walk away from the party and is followed by Renzo. He calls out her name and she stops to acknowledge him. He asks her if something is wrong and she tells him that it is nothing of his concern. Adriana starts to turn away and Renzo reaches out to grab her arm to stop her. He tells her that he needs to explain what happened. Adriana tells him that it is not necessary for him to explain and that she understands that his hatred towards her has probably erased all the love they once vowed to each other. Adriana walks away leaving Renzo alone. Renzo, thinking to himself, says that even though he may hate her, he truly loves her and will always love her because in his heart she is the woman he can only love forever.

        Astrid and Rodolfo are talking with each other and she is happy and pleased. Astrid is telling Rodolfo that he helped her pressure Count Minelli into announcing their engagement. Rodolfo tells Astrid that he has kept his part of the bargain and that the rest is up to her. Pedro is nearby and watches as Rodolfo leaves Astrid alone then approaches her. Pedro tells Astrid that he has not had an opportunity to be alone with her until now and has just heard that she has managed to comprise Count Minelli. Astrid tells Pedro that she doesn't expect him to interfere with her plans because his son Renzo has fallen for her. Pedro tells Astrid that he hopes Renzo will realize the type of woman she really is. Pedro asks Astrid when will she fulfill the demand he has asked her to do. Astrid tells Pedro that after tonight, Isa will have her last name and turns to leave Pedro.  

    Morning has risen and Isa walks into her bedroom furious. She is mad and upset at the fact that Astrid has become the fiancée of Count Minelli. Isa swears to herself that Astrid will not marry Count Minelli even if she has to kill her because she will be the Countess Minelli. Rodolfo is in Adriana's room asking her why she wasn't courteous with Count Minelli at the party last night. He tells her that they need to be in good terms with him. Adriana tells Rodolfo that she won't pretend to be friendly with him. Rodolfo tells her that she must be. Rodolfo asks Adriana why it bothered her so much when she heard that Count Minelli was getting engaged with Astrid de Marnier. Adriana tells Rodolfo that it was none of her business about their engagement. Rodolfo walks up to Adriana and grabs her arm and asks her why was she so discourteous towards them. Adriana breaks free of Rodolfo's grasp and tells him that he told her a lot of terrible things during the party. Rodolfo tells her that she can make it up to them tonight because he has arranged a dinner for them to celebrate their engagement. Isa is in her room pacing the floor and talking with Dino. She is still upset that Rodolfo has arranged a dinner party in Count Minelli's honor. Dino tells Isa that his master wants to look good before Count Minelli and is giving the party for him to celebrate his engagement with Astrid de Marnier. Isa tells Dino that this engagement is messing up her plans to marry him herself. Dino tells her that he never liked the idea or her plans. Dino tells Isa that she shouldn't worry because he can get her a lot of money. Adriana tells Rodolfo that he better not count on her because she will not attend. Rodolfo laughs and tells her that she will attend and that she will congratulate them since she didn't do it last night. Adriana tells Rodolfo that she can't do what he asks of her. He wants to know why. Adriana tells him that she despises Count Minelli. Rodolfo tells her that he also despises her son and respects her son's life. He also tells her that he expects that she also respect their marriage as husband and wife.  Renzo is holding little Pedro in his arms. Pedro is telling him that Baron Lebron will help them find the child's grandmother and when he finds her he will notify them at once. Renzo tells Pedro that he has taken a special fondness for the child and will hate to see him leave, but he will feel better once the child is returned to his mother or grandmother. At that moment, a knock on the door is heard and Bernal opens to enter. He tells Renzo that a message has arrived from Count Farnesio. Renzo places little Pedro in the arms of Bernal as he reads the message. Renzo tells Pedro that Rodolfo has arranged for an engagement dinner tonight. Adriana tells Petra that Rodolfo has her in his power since he holds her son hostage. She is unable to do anything. Petra tells Adriana that they have to find a way to break his power so that her son's life is not in jeopardy. Petra tells Adriana that for now she should pretend to obey him in everything in order for him to trust her. Adriana tells Petra that if she fakes it then one day Rodolfo will allow her to see her son and then she would know where he is and they could escape from him and go somewhere far away. Petra tells Adriana that she would help her. Adriana tells Petra that once they were far away she could tell Renzo about his son. Adriana tells Petra that Renzo is her gypsy and that once he knows they have a son he could change his way of hating her so much. Petra tells Adriana that if it is truly him, then he can help her protect their son. Adriana asks Petra if she should tell Renzo right away. Petra agrees that she should and to let him know that his son could be in harms way if he doesn't protect him. Adriana tells Petra that tonight she will tell Renzo the whole truth.  End of Part 1

    Start of Part 2 Renzo tells Pedro that he can't accept his engagement with Astrid because she was his wife one time. Pedro tells Renzo that she betrayed him and that she needs to pay for her crimes. Renzo wants to know how far does he need to go. Pedro tells him until Astrid gives herself away without knowing their plans. Adriana tells Petra that she needs to be astute when she approaches Renzo because several times before she has failed to tell him. Petra asks Adriana if she gave her permission she would tell Renzo herself. Adriana tells Petra that they need to be cautious. At that moment, Isa walks into Adriana's room when she hears Adriana telling Petra that tonight Count Minelli and Astrid de Marnier will be coming to dinner to celebrate their engagement. Isa tells Adriana that she must find a way to stop the dinner party. Isa asks Petra to leave. Adriana asks Isa what is troubling her. Isa tells her that she must stop the dinner being given tonight. Isa tells Adriana that they need to stop the engagement between Count Minelli and Astrid. Adriana looks as Isa in a very strange manner.  Astrid is in her room talking to herself. She says that Pedro will suffer once again because she will become the new Countess Minelli. She hopes that one day Pedro will come begging to her for him and his son. Astrid tells herself that in order for her to get back at Pedro she might just have to become a widow for the third time and then Pedro will suffer for the lose of his bastard son. Isa tells Adriana that she needs to tell her something very personal. Isa drops to her knees and begs Adriana to forgive her for what she is about to tell her. Adriana is a little confused by Isa's action. Isa confesses to Adriana that she is in love with Count Minelli. Adriana looks at Isa in total surprise. With Isa gone, Adriana tells Petra that she can't believe that Isa is in love with Renzo and how could she betray her like that. Petra tells Adriana that she didn't want to tell her this news but under the circumstances she feels that Adriana should know. Adriana asks Petra what she is referring to. Petra tells her that a few nights ago Rodolfo went to visit Isa in her bedroom late one night and didn't leave until the wee hours of the morning. Petra tells Adriana that she thinks Rodolfo and Isa have been getting along for some time. Renzo, who is preparing himself for the party, tells Pedro that he always has a hard time when he is surrounded by his enemies. Pedro tells him that if he keeps company with Isa it will make it less hard to act around the others.  Night has fallen and everyone is in attendance at the dinner. Rodolfo is sitting at the head of the table while Adriana and Renzo sit to his right side leaving Astrid and Isa to sit at his left side. Rodolfo tells Astrid that he wishes to toast to her engagement. Renzo asks Adriana if she will also toast to his honor. Adriana picks up her wine goblet and informs him that he is very lucky to have the Countess as his fiancée. Renzo tells Adriana that she is right because Astrid will be a good wife who will be faithful and love him always. Astrid tells Renzo that she has found new love being with him. Renzo announces that he has some good news which he hasn't told his fiancée yet. Isa wonders if the news is that good. Renzo informs everyone that he can't wait to be married and would like for it to happen right away. Adriana turns to look at him in dismay. Rodolfo is pleased to hear the news as is Astrid. Isa is not happy.  Pedro has gone to see Isolda at her tavern. Isolda is telling Pedro that she didn't realize that he had gone to see Astrid himself. She hopes that the meeting was good. Isolda asks Pedro if Astrid was willing to do as he asked. Pedro tells her that she would do it. Isolda asks how he managed to get her to do it unless Astrid was offered a lot of money.  Pedro tells Isolda that Astrid is very ambitious. Isolda tells him that since she is that way it is no wonder she has tried to conquer the Count's love. Isolda tells Pedro that Astrid only wants to regain her power and fortune using the young Count in the process ever since the older Minelli took away her fortune. She tells him that he should avoid letting the young Count get caught in her trap. At the dinner party, Astrid is very pleased to have learned that Renzo wants to marry her immediately. Rodolfo is happy to hear the news and congratulates them. Adriana, who has taken the news rather hard, can only sit and listen as they speak of the forthcoming wedding. Adriana tells Renzo that Astrid will make him a happy man. Renzo tells her that after all that he has suffered he hopes to be happy at last. Rodolfo reminds Adriana that she needed to tell Renzo something and for her not to be timid in telling him. Renzo asks her what it is she needs to tell him. Adriana tells Renzo that he is to forgive her for not congratulating him at the Regent Prince's party last night. Adriana raises her wine goblet and makes a toast to Renzo and Astrid. At that moment, Adriana takes the chance to pass a note to Renzo under the table. Isa looks at them as if knowing that something is going on between them. Renzo tells Adriana that he appreciates her kind words. Isa notices when Renzo takes the note and hides it inside his coat. Renzo comments to Adriana that even though her words were kind, she doesn't look very good. Isa tells Renzo that it is because Adriana has been moved by all the excitement and news. Isa mentions that his announcement to get married right away was unexpected. Because of all the talk of Renzo's wedding plans, Adriana begins to feel depressed and begs that the others excuse her because she is not feeling well. Rodolfo is angry that Adriana is leaving him alone with their dinner guests. Adriana tells them that she doesn't want to spoil their evening and leaves. Renzo and Isa are left alone. Renzo tells Isa that he doesn't understand how she can live with these people and lets her know that she is a very sweet person.  At that moment, Isa fakes that she is cold and Renzo offers her his coat. She asks him if he won't get cold and he tells her that sometimes the clothes bother him. Isa looks as if something is bothering her. Renzo asks what is wrong. Isa tells him that she overheard that between Rodolfo, Adriana and Astrid they have planned something against him to ruin him. Isa tells Renzo that it is possible his bride to be could want his misfortune.  

        Adriana is in her room talking with Aya Petra. She is telling her that Renzo truly hates her as much as she loves him. Petra tells her that she should have faith in him after he reads her letter. Adriana tells her that if he doesn't react to her news about their son, then she will know that she has lost him forever. Petra tells Adriana to keep the faith and hope that once he learns the truth he will forgive her. Renzo, along with Astrid by his side, tells Rodolfo that due to Adriana's unfortunate departure they should end the dinner and leave. Rodolfo tells him to please forgive his wife and appreciates his understanding. Astrid tells Isa to return Renzo's coat. Before she can answer, Renzo tells Astrid that he doesn't need it and for Isa to keep it. Renzo leaves the room with Rodolfo. Isa and Astrid are left alone. Astrid tells Isa to take off the coat. Isa tells Astrid that Renzo gave it to her so that she could keep warm. Astrid is furious with Isa. Isa tells Astrid that maybe she shouldn't be so confident in the love of Count Minelli. Isa tells Astrid that what the Count needs is a young woman who will be able to give him children not an older mature woman who won't be able to bear him an heir. Astrid is offended by Isa's words and slaps Isa with her hand.  Isa touches her cheek. Astrid tells her that she will never be able to take away Count Minelli from her.  Rodolfo orders his servant to tell his wife that he wants to speak with her immediately in his study. In the convent hospital, Manina is thinking to herself. She says that she can't send the letter to Adriana because she will expose her and her son to Isa and Rodolfo. Adriana has gone to see Rodolfo in his study and leaves the door open behind her. Rodolfo tells Adriana that he wanted to reprimand her for her actions, but because of her beauty he can't. Rodolfo goes to close the door while Adriana stands in the middle of the room with her back to him. Rodolfo surprises Adriana by wrapping his arms around her. Adriana tells him to let her go. Rodolfo tells her that tonight will be the inevitable. Adriana struggles and manages to break free only to have Rodolfo grab her arms and pull her back into another embrace. While holding Adriana, Rodolfo tells Adriana that she belongs to him and that he doesn't like her rejections. Adriana struggling from his embrace tells him that he is disgusting. Rodolfo tells her that she can't continue to reject him anymore. Rodolfo tries to caress Adriana and she tries to push him away. He tells her that tonight she will finally be his and forces her down upon the table holding her arms down. Adriana tells him that she accepted to marry him but never accepted to be his woman. Rodolfo tells her that she belongs to him and that he is crazy for her. Adriana tells Rodolfo to leave her alone because she could never love him. Isa, alone in her room, is reading the note Adriana had given to Renzo since she kept his coat. In the note, Adriana tells Renzo that they have a son who needs his protection and for him to meet her at the cliffside the next day. Isa throws the note down and is furious that Adriana has tried to tell Renzo about their son. Isa tells herself that she will go and visit Renzo.

        Rodolfo, who continues to force himself upon Adriana, tells her that she will be his. Adriana continuing in her struggle to get Rodolfo off of her pushes him and breaks free of his hold. In the process, Rodolfo notices that the door to the secret passageway is open. He wonders who dared to enter it. Rodolfo immediately begins to call Dino. Adriana just stands there scared of what Rodolfo might do next. Rodolfo goes to the door, opens it and yells Dino's name again. He turns around to see a frighten Adriana and orders her to return to her room. Adriana immediately leaves. Rodolfo tells himself that whoever has learned about his passageway will pay with their life. Pedro tells Renzo that he is sorry for dragging him into his own desire for revenge. He realizes that Renzo had his own problems to handle and little by little got him involved with more. Renzo tells Pedro that he knew what he was getting into and that Pedro should not feel that he forced him to do it. Pedro asks Renzo if he would have preferred returning to the gypsy's as a free man. Renzo tells him that what good would it have done him since both his parents are dead and that his heart was destroyed from the betrayal of Adriana. Pedro tells him that maybe he would have received the peace he wants so bad. Renzo tells him that he has been like a father to him. Renzo lets Pedro know that he gave him the opportunity to be another person and see what it is like to live a different lifestyle and he is grateful for knowing him.  Rodolfo asks Dino who tried to access the secret passageway. Dino tells him that he doesn't know because as soon as the party was over he went to speak with Isa in her bedroom. Rodolfo asks Dino if he tried to impress Isa by showing her the secret passageway. Dino tells him that he would never do that because he hates the place. Rodolfo tells Dino no one else knows about it and that he is the only person who knows the secret. Dino tells Rodolfo that maybe he forget to close the door the last time he was inside. Rodolfo tells him that he hasn't been inside the tunnels in years. Rodolfo tells Dino that he will assure that no one opens the door again, but if he finds out who accessed it then that person will get lost in the tunnels of no return. Dino tells him that if he finds out who it was, he will tell him.  It is morning and Isa has gone to visit Renzo at his palace. Renzo tells her that he doesn't know how she can stand living with Rodolfo and Adriana. Isa tells him that she heard Rodolfo and Adriana conspiring against him again. Renzo asks Isa if there is anything new he should know. Isa tells Renzo that when the dinner ended last night, she was on her way to her room when she heard voices. She tells him that the voices were of people laughing and kissing. The voices were Rodolfo and Adriana who were talking about how they can manipulate Renzo to do what they want. Adriana was telling Rodolfo that she had given him a note saying that she would have him begging on his hands and knees. Isa tells Renzo that Adriana was very happy and laughing. Isa tells Renzo that the letter explained how they would try to get Renzo to stop him from ruining them. Isa asks Renzo what letter were they talking about. Renzo tells Isa that last night Adriana gave him a note and he goes to the coat Isa returned to him to search for it. Renzo pulls out the note as Isa watches him read it.  Adriana is sleeping in her bedroom when Petra awakens her and tells her that it is another beautiful day. Adriana sits up on her bed and tells Petra that by now Renzo must have read her letter. Petra tells her that he must be looking forward to their meeting since learning the truth from her note. Adriana is excited and tells Petra that she will wear a beautiful gown for her meeting with Renzo.  

    As Renzo is reading the note in which Adriana tells him that they have a son, Isa looks at him and smiles because her plan is working. Renzo shows Isa the letter and tells her that Adriana wrote to him to tell him they have a son. Isa knows that she has planted the seed of doubt in Renzo and that he will never believe that he and Adriana have a son. She pretends to be shocked to learn about Adriana's lie. Isa tells him that if Adriana had a child she would have it with her. Renzo tells Isa that Adriana is lying to him again and that she is doing it to help Rodolfo. Rodolfo has gone to visit Astrid. Astrid is surprised to see him. She asks about Adriana. Rodolfo tells her that Adriana is fine. Astrid is furious that Adriana left the party early and ruined her engagement dinner. She tells Rodolfo that Minelli was looking at her all night. Rodolfo asks Astrid if she is jealous of Adriana. Rodolfo tells Astrid that he admires all woman and mentions Isa's name. Astrid gets mad when she hears the name of Isa. Rodolfo tells her that she doesn't need to be mad over Isa because soon she will become the new Countess Minelli.  Renzo is waiting at the cliffside just as Adriana had requested in her note. Adriana approaches and tells Renzo that she is happy he came and to forgive her for being late. Adriana asks him if he read her note and he tells her that he did several times. Adriana tells him that she wanted to tell him many times before but couldn't. Adriana tells Renzo that they can't hate each other because they have a reason to love another. They have a son. Renzo doesn't believe Adriana. Adriana is happy to tell Renzo they have a son and that her son looks just like him. She tells him that their son is in danger. Renzo asks to see his son and why didn't she bring him with her. If they have a son where is he. Adriana tells Renzo that Rodolfo has their son and gave him to Isa. Renzo tells Adriana not to get Isa involved. Adriana tells Renzo that it is all a plan Rodolfo has to keep her under his power. Rodolfo has their son and is manipulating her the way he wants. Adriana notices that Renzo is not excited to learn the news about their son. Adriana tells him that she can't believe how much he has changed ever since he became a Count. He is not the same man she once knew.  Isolda is travelling in a wagon on her way to Farnesio's castle when she encounters Isa on horseback. Isa asks her why has she come to the Farnesio castle. Isolda tells her that she is not there to see him but to see her. Isolda tells Isa that she has always wanted to learn who her real mother is. Isa looks at Isolda in a surprised manner. Isolda asks Isa if she still wants to know and if so she will tell her. Adriana asks Renzo why doesn't he believe her that they have a son. She wants to know who has planted the doubt in him. Renzo tells her that he will not be taken for a fool after learning that they tried to get to him by telling him he would be fooled by this new trickery. Renzo tells Adriana that if she thinks that she can fool him again with the story of a son then she is wrong. Adriana tries to tell Renzo that it is true, but realizes that he doesn't want to believe her. Renzo tells her that she better stop lying to him.  

        Isolda and Isa have gone to her tavern to continue their conversation about who is Isa's mother. Isa is curious to learn and know who her mother is. Isolda tells Isa that her mother is of nobility like the Farnesio's and Astolfi's. Isa is surprised to hear that her mother is an aristocrat. Astrid and Violeta are talking in barnyard. Astrid is telling Violeta that she has no choice but to do what Pedro Minelli has asked her to do. Violeta asks Astrid why will she recognize a child that she never really cared for. Isolda tells Isa that even though her mother is of nobility it would be better that no one knows the truth to avoid a scandal. Isa, who is frustrated, asks Isolda who this woman is. Adriana tells Petra that she can't understand Renzo's reaction to learning the truth. She tells her that she is starting to feel pity and hate towards Renzo. Petra tells her that it is only natural that she went to see him with such high hopes. Adriana tells her that she can't understand why he doesn't believe they have a son. Adriana, feeling hurt, tells Petra that she kept quiet about who was Humberto's murderer and that she suspected it was Renzo who killed her brother. She should have told the authorities right away, but kept quiet. Petra tells her that she can' be sure unless she has proof that he did commit the crime. Petra tells her that she is angry with Renzo for not believing her. Adriana tells her that she doesn't know how to feel anymore.  It is night and Isolda escorts Isa to the same barnyard where Astrid and Violeta are waiting. Isolda, holding a lantern, walks into the barnyard followed by Isa. Isolda looks around and spots them sitting in a corner. Isolda tells Isa that she is there waiting. Isa grabs the lantern from Isolda and walks towards the corner of the barnyard and holds the lantern up to see who her mother is. Astrid, who has a hood covering her head, removes it to reveal herself. Isa looks and sees that it is Astrid and is shocked. The lantern starts to shake in her hands. Isa can't believe that Astrid is her mother. Astrid starts to insult Isa. Isolda tells Astrid that she wanted to ensure there was discretion in their meeting and to avoid tempting Isa. Isolda grabs the lantern from Isa's hand and places it on a wooden shelf. Isolda orders Violeta to follow her in order to leave Astrid and Isa alone to talk. Astrid tells Isa know that she knows the truth they can talk to each other with more familiarity. Isa is outraged and finds it hard to believe that Astrid is her mother. She calls Astrid a fox. Astrid tells Isa that she inherited all of her same qualities. Isa wants to know what benefits is Astrid getting out of recognizing her has her daughter. Astrid tells her that if she doesn't follow orders then she will deny having Isa as her daughter. Isa tries to leave but Astrid stops her. Astrid tells her that her one condition in order for Isa to receive her last name would be that Isa must stop trying to conquer Count Minelli. Isa tells Astrid that Count Minelli interests her a lot and that she will not stop her quest to conquer him. Astrid threatens Isa by telling her that what would Count Minelli do if he were to find out that she was a courtesan. Isa tells Astrid that Rodolfo has converted her into a queen while she has been living in his castle and that he is a very passionate man.  Adriana follows Rodolfo into his study asking him if he would permit her to see her son. She tells him that if she sees her son and can prove that he is ok, then Rodolfo can do with her anything that he wants. The information gets Rodolfo's attention. Rodolfo tells her that they will talk about it later and for her to retire to her room because she looks fatigued. Adriana tells him that she won't wait any longer to see her son and if not then she is willing to go see the Captain of the authorities and make a scandal about the disappearance of her son. Rodolfo tells her that it won't be necessary. Astrid is furious to learn that Isa has taken Rodolfo to bed. Isa tells her Rodolfo is fascinated with her youth and vigorousness. Isa tells Astrid that he speaks of how old Astrid has gotten and that he loves her youthful body. Isa tells Astrid that she will do the same with Minelli whether Astrid recognizes her or not.  Rodolfo tells Adriana that he swears by his Uncle Farnesio that she will see her son. Adriana looks at the painting and repeats his name. Adriana then asks Rodolfo why does his Uncle have the same resemblance to Count Minelli. Rodolfo looks at Adriana surprised at her perception.  Renzo is talking with Pedro and asking him for what purposes did Rodolfo have to lock up his Uncle and his father in the passageway. Pedro tells Renzo that maybe there must be a last will and testament of Clement Farnesio in which it reveals all the clues. Renzo repeats the words last will and testament to Pedro. Astrid, who is furious, tells Isa that instead of recognizing Isa has her daughter she will do everything in her power to destroy her and let the whole world know that she is a prostitute. Isa launches herself at Astrid and the two of them start to fight. During the fight, the two of them bump into the lantern and knock it on the floor. As the lantern breaks a fire gets started. Isa notices the fire and pushes Astrid against the wall where she falls knocking the breath out of her. The fire starts to spread and surrounds Astrid. Isa, who has moved to a safer area sees Astrid being engulfed with flames. Astrid starts to cry out for help and all Isa can do is look and laugh.  End of Episodes                                Hope you enjoyed the Summary!                       Margie

    11-4-00:    Adriana and Rodolfo are sitting at the dinner table and she is asking him how will she know if he will promise to let her see her son.  As Aya Petra looks on, she wants to know what guarantees will she have to know that her son is safe and that Rodolfo hasn't done something to harm him.  Rodolfo tells her that he wouldn't stoop so low to harm a child.  He tells Adriana that he couldn't make her bastard son disappear knowing how much the child meant to Adriana.    Isa, seeing Astrid surrounded by the fire, fakes like she is horrified and covers her face with charcoal to pretend that she has tried to help Astrid.  She starts screaming Isolda's name to help her and runs into the tavern.  Isolda and the tavern patrons see Isa come in with her face all dirty and screaming that there is a fire.  She tells Isolda and the others that she barely was able to escape the flames, but that the Countess Astrid de Marnier was caught in the fire.  Upon hearing the news of Astrid, Orlando immediately goes to help her followed by Claudio and other men.  When everyone leaves the tavern Isa is left alone.  She thinks to herself that her illusion of her mother didn't last very long when she realized who her real mother was.  Astrid, who is trying to escape the fire, walks around when her coat catches on fire.  She immediately falls to the ground.  At that moment, Orlando sees her and covers her up with a blanket.  Isolda, Claudio and Violeta follow him and see that Astrid has been badly injured by the fire.  With a look of horror on their faces, it is apparent that Astrid has suffered terrible burn wounds.   Isolda asks Astrid what happened in the barnyard, was it an accident or something else.  Astrid, with her face all bandaged up and only her left eye exposed, tells Isolda that it doesn't matter what happened.  Isolda tells Astrid that she will be leaving for Villa Florencia with Orlando and that soon she will return to see her again.  She tells her that Violeta will stay to watch over her.  Astrid tells Isolda not to mention her accident to anyone.  Isolda tells her that Isa was left with a bad reaction to what happened, but Astrid tells her that she could care less what Isa thinks.  She tells Isolda to leave.  Morning has risen and Adriana is looking for someone when she runs into Rodolfo.  He tells her Good Morning and wonders what is troubling her.  Adriana tells him that she has been looking for Isa since last night and can't find her.  Rodolfo informs Adriana that Isa arrived late last night and has left very early this morning.  Adriana tells him that she only wants Isa to give her information about her son.  Rodolfo refers to Adriana's son as the bastard and Adriana takes offense and tries to slap him only to be stopped by Rodolfo.  Rodolfo tells Adriana that maybe Isa left early to meet with her son.    

        Isa has gone to visit Count Minelli at his palace.  Isa tells Renzo that she was worried about his and Adriana's encounter at the cliffside.  Renzo tells Isa that he went to the appointment and for her not to worry because he told Adriana that she wouldn't get to him with her lies.  He wonders how Adriana thought she could get him to believe her once again.  Isa tells him that a woman can be capable of doing many things to get to a man.  Renzo offers Isa some coffee and she asks him if he truly is going to marry Astrid de Marnier.  Renzo looks as if to ponder the question.  Pedro has gone to Isolda's tavern to see her.  Isolda approaches him and he is happy to see her.  He asks Isolda if Isa and Astrid had a chance to meet one another and wanted to know what was the outcome of the meeting.  Isolda tells Pedro that a terrible disgrace has occurred leaving Pedro with a questioning look on his face.  Adriana has gone to Count Minelli's palace.  The three of them are in Renzo's study.  Isa asks Adriana what she is doing at the palace.  Adriana asks her the same question.  Renzo tells Adriana that Isa is his invited guest.  Adriana tells Renzo that she needs to speak with him alone.  Renzo tells her that Isa is not leaving and goes to sit down behind his desk and asks what she wants to talk about.  Adriana tells him that it is about her son, their son.  She tells him that they need to talk about their son and since Isa is present maybe she won't lie about the fact that a child does exist.  Renzo stands up from his chair.  Isa stares at Adriana as if caught off guard.  Isa pretends to be offended and shocked.  She tells Adriana how could she lie about such a thing like that.  Adriana, who is loosing her patience, tells Isa that Isa knows Adriana is telling the truth.  Isa tells her that she can't pretend to sustain that fact.  She asks Adriana why she is trying to tell him that they have a son.  Isa tells Adriana that if Rodolfo were to find out he would kill Count Minelli.  Adriana, already upset that Isa has made her look like a fool, tells her that she is the one who is lying.  Renzo steps in and tells Adriana to stop offending Isa in that manner.  Adriana tells him that he has to listen to her.  Renzo tells Adriana that he is Count Minelli and for her not to forget it.  Adriana tells him that she hopes he will never regret what he has told her.  Adriana turns and leaves.  Isa watches as Adriana leaves and is pleased to see that Renzo didn't believe in her once again.  Isolda tells Pedro that she has never seen such a horrible thing happen to anyone before.  She tells him that Astrid was badly burned by the fire.  Pedro is shocked to hear the news as Isolda tells him that it has been a terrible tragedy.  At the hospital convent, Manina is sitting down in a chair staring out a window looking at the stars.  Maria approaches her and asks her if she needs some help in returning to her bed.  Manina tells her that she wants to stay a while longer and see more of the stars.  She tells Maria that she is able to read what the stars can tell her and knows that her little Pedro is fine and safe in the castle she left him at, but at the same time there is a young man who lives there that is suffering very much.    Renzo is crouched down near the bassinet where little Pedro is laying down.  He looks at the child and asks himself how could Adriana lie to him about having a son.  Renzo stares at little Pedro with warmth in his eyes and tells him that he would give his entire life if only Adriana's words were true.  He would love to have a son as good looking at this child and born out of the love they once shared.   Rodolfo and Dino are in his study and he is telling Dino that he has no money left.  He asks Dino that the peasants who live on his land should pay him because they must have some value he can possess.  Dino asks him if he wants the peasants to pay him money.  Rodolfo tells him that he is to get money from them any which way he can.    Isa is in Adriana's bedroom warning her that she better not get in her way or else Adriana will be sorry.  Adriana tells Isa that she is disappointed in Isa because she thought Isa was like a sister to her.  Isa laughs at the thought of Adriana seeing her as a sister.  Isa warns Adriana to stay away from Renzo or else she will take it out against her son.  Isa reminds Adriana that she has her son in her possession.  Adriana sheds a tear.  Isa tells Adriana that Count Minelli or Renzo the gypsy will be hers.  Adriana just stares at Isa.  Renzo and Pedro are talking in his study.  Renzo is telling Pedro that Isa refused to participate in the lie Adriana was telling him about having a son.  Pedro tells him that Isa acted accordingly.  At that moment, Pedro grabs his chest and places his hand over his heart as if in pain.  Renzo gets up from his chair and asks Pedro if he is ok and realizes that he's not and tells him that he will help him to his bedroom so that he can rest.    Adriana tells Isa that Renzo deserves to know that they have a son and she is going to prove it to him.  Isa tells Adriana that if she continues to persist in wanting to tell him then it will be her fault if he dies.  Adriana asks Isa what she is talking about.  Isa threatens Adriana by telling her that she is willing to tell Rodolfo that Count Minelli is really Renzo the gypsy.  Adriana is shocked, but she tells Isa that she promises not to go near Renzo again.  Isa tells her that she can't trust Adriana's word.  Adriana tells her that she will promise to keep her word.  Adriana offers Isa a deal.  She tells her that if Isa gives her back her son, she will leave forever and go where no one can find her.  Isa tells her that she is not stupid.  She tells Adriana that her son is the guarantee that Adriana will fulfill her promise.  She tells her that she won't give her back her son until she has become the new Countess Minelli. 

        Renzo is in his room drinking alone and asking himself why Adriana betrayed their love, married another and pretends they have a son.  He gets mad and throws the cup.  He tells himself that he won't believe in her again.  In the hospital convent, Manina is telling Maria that she needs her help in getting back to the castle where she left the child so that she can return him to its mother.  Maria asks which child she is talking about.  Manina tells her it is the child she considers like her own grandchild and that she needs to make sure the child is returned to his mother.    Renzo, in his bedroom, walks up the bassinet where little Pedro is laying and wonders why the child was separated from his mother.  He stares at the child and tells him that his presence has brought him joy into his life.  Renzo tells little Pedro that he will do everything he can to get him and his mother reunited again.

        It is morning and Dino, along with some of Farnesio's soldiers, have gone to the peasants camp site to follow the orders of his master.  He sees an old man and child sitting at a table.  Dino grabs the child and the old man asks him why is he taking his grandson.  Dino tells the old man that he has come to collect money and for them to find all the coins they have or else he won't be seeing his grandson again.  A woman comes out from inside a house and tells Dino to have pity on them.   The soldiers take several of the children away while their parents scream not to take their children away from them.  Dino goes back to Rodolfo to inform him that he has started to do his bidding.  Rodolfo is pleased to hear that Dino has followed his orders and tells him that he needs Dino to do him a favor.  Dino asks him what does he need.  Rodolfo tells him that he needs for Dino to find him a child that looks about the same age, sex and appearance like Adriana's child.  He tells him that he doesn't care what he needs to do just as long as he brings him back a child with the same characteristics.  Rodolfo feels that since so much times has gone by, he can pass off another child as Adriana's son.  Dino tells Rodolfo that he will find a child that looks like the gypsy.  Rodolfo tells him that he doesn't think his remark was funny and orders him to find a child so that he can continue to manipulate Adriana and keep her under control.    Adriana tells Petra that she is sorry that she didn't understand Petra's intuition about Isa.  Now she realizes that she should never have trusted her.  Adriana tells her that Isa never loved her brother and pretended to be her friend, but in reality she did it to only satisfy her own ambitions.  Petra is disgusted to hear what Adriana has told her.  Adriana tells her that Isa took pleasure in telling her all that she planned to do.  Adriana tells her that unfortunately Isa has control over her since she holds her son hostage.  Petra tells her that Isa doesn't realize that all the bad things one does, sooner or later she will pay.  Petra tells Adriana that Isa better not lay a hand on her son or else she will learn what the old woman is capable of.    Isa and Rodolfo are in his study and she is pouring them a goblet of wine to drink.  Rodolfo is telling her that she has changed her state of mind and looks rather happy.  Isa tells Rodolfo that she is happy because she has managed to get out of her way one of her competitors.  Rodolfo looks surprised and asks her if she is talking seriously.  Isa confirms and tells him that of course.  Isa tells Rodolfo that now her destiny has changed because the distinguished Countess Astrid de Marnier suffered an accident.  Rodolfo looks at her confused and can't believe that Astrid suffered an accident.  Renzo and Bernal are in the livingroom of the Minelli castle.  Renzo is holding little Pedro while Bernal watches them.  Bernal tells Renzo that when little Pedro leaves he will miss him very much.  Renzo tells Bernal that the nameless child has become like a son to him.  Renzo tenderly gives little Pedro a kiss.  Rodolfo and Dino are in his study and they are joined by Jonas.  Jonas is serving himself some wine.  Rodolfo is telling him that the last time he was in his palace he warned him that he never wanted to see him on his property again.  Jonas tells him that he didn't want to bother him again, but that something has come up that he might be interested in.  Rodolfo asks him what could it be.  Jonas reminds Rodolfo that the gypsy's death was not accidental since he ordered the death.  Rodolfo tells him that no one is to know the truth.  Rodolfo reminds Jonas that the gypsy's body should be at the bottom of the ocean.  Jonas agrees with him.  Jonas tells him that a lot of things are happening on the island because the Regent Prince has sent a committee of ambassadors to look into the manner in which the prisoners are being treated.  Jonas tells Rodolfo that these ambassadors have been asking a lot of questions and they could possible get a lead as to what happened with the gypsy.  Rodolfo doesn't look to happy with the news.  Isolda is in her tavern drinking alone when Isa approaches her and asks Isolda where she took her mother.  Isa pretends to be very worried over the fact that she doesn't know what happened to her.  Isa tells her that she wants to say she is sorry to her mother for what she told her.  Isolda tells Isa that Astrid doesn't want to see anyone.  Isa tells her that she can't wait.  She was very cruel to her and she is sure that her mother needs her.  Isolda is very surprised to see Isa is concerned.    

          Jonas is walking out of the study to leave as Dino follows him.  Dino stops him and tells him that his master is looking for a male child.  Jonas asks him why.  Dino tells him that it is not important.  Dino tells him that if he knows of a way to steal a male child with light eyes and looks like the gypsy.  Jonas shows Dino the sign of money.    On the Farnesio palace grounds, Adriana has disembarked from the carriage in which she and Petra were riding in.  She waves to Petra as the coachmen drives off.   She senses a rider at a distance and hides behind a tall tree.  She is frightened to realize the rider is Jonas.  She wonders why Jonas has come to see Rodolfo.  She asks herself is Rodolfo knows the truth that Count Minelli and Renzo are the same person.  She thinks that maybe if Jonas has come to see Rodolfo that maybe Renzo's life is now in jeopardy and she must try to warn him.   Renzo cradling little Pedro in his arms, tells Bernal that he plans on inviting Isa to Pedro's anniversary.  Renzo tells Bernal that Isa has earned his trust and friendship.  Bernal asks Renzo if maybe he doesn't have a certain affection for her also.  Bernal mentions that maybe it wouldn't be proper if only Isa Valenti were invited because then it would cause a lot of suspicion if she came alone.  Renzo tells him that in order to avoid that bad things are said about Isa, he would have to invite Count Farnesio and his wife also.  Bernal tells him that it would be better if he did.  Astrid has been taken to the convent hospital to recuperate from her burn wounds.  A nun is talking with Violeta. Violeta asks the nun when will her mistress get better.  The nun tells her that only time will heal her wounds.  The nun tells Violeta that she needs to get some rest too and escorts her out of Astrid's room.  As soon as Violeta and the nun leave the room, Isa turns the corner and almost bumps into them but hides.  Neither the nun or Violeta notice that she has come to see Astrid.  As soon as Isa realizes that no one is watching, she immediately walks into the room where Astrid is recovering.  Astrid is sitting up with her eyes closed and seems to be sleeping.  Isa walks up to her bed and tells her that she hopes Astrid dies.  Upon hearing a voice, Astrid opens her eyes.  Isa warns Astrid that she better forget about Count Minelli because she will be the one to marry him.  Astrid looks horrified.   Adriana has returned to the Minelli castle and is waiting in the livingroom when Renzo approaches her to ask why she has come back again.  Adriana begs with Renzo to listen to her and forget the attitude he has towards her.  He tells her that he can't treat his enemies any other way.  Adriana tells him that she has come to warn him.  Renzo asks her what does he need to be warned about.  Adriana tells him that she saw Jonas, the foreman from the island of the condemned at the Farnesio castle in the afternoon.  She tells him that she thinks Jonas has spoken with Rodolfo and that it is of major concern to be careful.  Adriana tells him that she thinks Rodolfo is planning his death.  Isa is telling Astrid that it is a shame that she has suffered a terrible accident.  She tells her not to worry about her fiancé Count Minelli because she will take care in consoling him.  Astrid tells Isa that she will never recognize her as her daughter and that Count Minelli will never marry a simple courtesan.  At that moment, Pedro barely opens the door to Astrid's room and stops when he overhears the conversation that Isa is having with Astrid.  Isa mocks Astrid and tells her that she knows that Count Minelli is a simple gypsy who escaped from the island of the condemned. Isa tells her that he is an imposter and that she only wants his fortune.  Astrid can't believe what Isa is telling her.  Isa tells Astrid that she can tell her the complete story that his real name is Renzo and that he is totally in love with Adriana de Astolfi.  Isa tells Astrid that she tells Renzo anything she wants and he blames Adriana for everything that happens.  Pedro, who has been listening behind the partially opened door is shocked to hear Isa confess all that she has done and grabs his chest.  Isa tells Astrid that Renzo is so stupid that he doesn't know that she helped Rodolfo Farnesio send him to the island of the condemned.  She confesses to Astrid that she was the one who placed the ring in Renzo's pocket to blame him for the death of Count Daniel Discarpia.  Astrid tells Isa that maybe she can fool Adriana, the gypsy and all the others, but not Pedro who will end up knowing who she really is.  Isa wonders why Astrid mentions the old fools name.  Isa tells her that she knows that he too probably escaped from the island of the condemned, but she has been able to manipulate him the way she wants to because she has him eating out of the palm of her hands.  Pedro thinking to himself can't believe what he has heard and realizes that he has been taken for a fool by Isa.  He slowly closes the door to leave.    Renzo grabs Adriana and tells her to stop lying to him.  Adriana tells him that she is telling him the truth because she knows that Jonas can kill him.  Renzo tells her that he is aware of what Jonas is capable of doing.  Renzo lets Adriana go and walks away from her.  Adriana asks him if he is going to be careful and alert if Rodolfo has schemed to try to kill him.  Renzo tells her that she betrayed him on the island of the condemned and that he doesn't know why she has come to warn him about Jonas.  Renzo tells her that her presence is bothering him and that maybe he should go to Rodolfo and tell him that his wife is betraying him by coming to see him and warning him.
