WHO KILLED G.R.?

& WHO THE HECK IS ANA LETICIA???

Parte 1~

While Mariano is suffering guilt pangs for having fooled around with Valentin Padilla’s exploitative ex, Facundo is getting the second biggest shock of his life in seeing that his dead and buried son is no longer dead and buried, but very much alive.  Unfortunately, Santiago wants nothing to do with him or the past life he represents as Marcelo Salvaterra’s father.  (And, what a debby-downer!  A recluse ruminating in refuse. Santi can't help but wrinkle his nose in disgust.)

Facundo may be his father but he’s no father figure.  SanMarco cannot remember the man and seeing him does not arouse feeling number one in him.  He knows enough about Marcelo Salvaterra to know he doesn’t want to be that man or have any part of his life as his any longer.  Remedios was Santi’s biggest help, his biggest fan, and his only reason for having recovered. That won’t stop Facundo from trying to rescue him from his amnesia, and he tells him as much. 

Ramiro visits Mariano at The Realty Place and tells him he wants the truth about Gina’s death.

At the same time, TinTin has paid a morning visit to Ana Laura to beg for another opportunity with her.  She sweetly reprimands him for having used her as a tool for his revenge against her Uncle and her true luhhhv, Ramiro.  For shame!  He is just as upset, he says, and claims Ana Llora asked her sister to humiliate him this way purposely; that A MiMi told him that they’d rehearsed for hours so Ana Leticia could play the part perfectly.  She of course denies it all and is again saddened to hear how her sister could have been so mean…..

TinTin denies any attempt to get even with Ramiro over Gina, and his crocodile tear cup runneth over as he swears he doesn’t blame anyone for his ex-novia’s suicide—how could anybody—let alone Ramiro Fuentes, for that.  What hurts most of all--sniff, sniff—is having lost all hope again of ever being happy with a woman at his side.  He had such high hopes, such dreams about A Llora and him.  But now it’s been like a dagger in his heart.  At least she won’t refuse to allow him to continue at the Foundation, cheering those beautiful children up every day?  They’ll continue to at least be friends, right?  Right. 

Mo immediately lies to Ram about not knowing Gina more than only vaguely.  Ram lets him have it between the eyes.  He knows all about how he was present, right in the room, actually, when Marcelo held a gun to her head and dictated the suicide note he forced her to write just before her death.  Mo swallows big-time.  (How does he lie his way out of this one, me mateys?) How could he know this?  What Ram doesn’t know is what happened immediately after Gina finished writing that note.  “—Leave it be, Ramiro.  You won’t like what you might find.  Why should it involve me, anyway?”  Well, for starters, his nieces are involved and the man wants vengeance against Ram and probably Mo as well.  “—Or am I wrong?”  Mo starts shifting his weight and acting a bit antsy.  Hmm.  Guess Ram isn’t as wrong as he might have thought.

In the meantime, Ana Llora tries convincing Ernestina that she is wrong to throw Ana MiMi to the wolves.  After all, she had her (twisted-less-than-truthful) reasons, though A Llora is not at liberty to divulge them.  Erni figures it’s just as well, since she couldn’t handle another shock like that one.

Back in Mo’s office, Ramiro tells him about the old photos of Mo and Ana Llora pasted all over TinTin’s bedroom wall.  They definitely were not recent.  They were over three years old.  This guy’s been planning his revenge for quite a while.  How could Mo have let it get this far with A Llora?  They’ll both protect her, whatever happens, but for Ram to do it his way, he’s got to know why TinTin’s got it out for Mo.   Who really killed Gina Ramirez?  (My bet’s on the crooked lawyer.)

And sure enough, TinTin’s in another drunken stupor and this time he’s got venganza on the brain for more than just Mo.  He’s going to get even with Ana Llora for dumping him the way she did—and again it’s for that Ramiro Fuentes!

Across the way, at Iñaki’s mostly humble abode, A MiMi tries to get to the bottom about what Julieta wanted from him at the hospital.  Yaki only admits that he refuses to go through a dangerous operation to save her son for her.  Daniel’s a jerk wad, but he still pities the dude.  Naw, there’s more.  They were supposed to be honest about everything, right?  Ok.  Then tell him what she really said and did on that whirlwind trip to Costa Paraiso the day Jennifer died.  Did she or didn’t she have something to do with her death?  A MiMi smoothly scoots around answering that by saying she’d need somewhere to sit while telling him, but he’s not got a stick of furniture in his living room and she’s not accustomed to roughing it.  Next time he invites her in, make certain he at least has a sofa…..

Now Mo opens up.  Marcelo may have held the gun, but he certainly didn’t pull the trigger.  No, some way they all had a part in that woman’s death.  Who?  “--Valentin for trying to stop the wedding; Ramiro for jilting her at the altar; and Marcelo for letting things get so out of hand; and me, I am probably the most responsible, but I won’t say more than that.  Each of us has our burden to bear for our blame.”   Ram is steaming now because how dare he have judged him all these years—and with what moral authority?  Mo apologizes and says he at least knows now that his relationship with Ana Llora is serious and that is what matters.  He can count on Mo’s support.  He wants Ram’s help in keeping TinTin far away from Ana Llora.  Not to worry, says Ram.  He’d defend her with his life if it is necessary and he storms out of the office in a silent rage.

Over at the rehearsal of the Dance Aire, Javier and Orlando practice a duo and then Maribel and Javi go out to eat in hopes of making Orly jealous—or to show she’s got other men interested in her.  Javi’s a slob at lunch. It makes Ma Bel sick to see it. (FF>>FF>>) 

End part 1 of 3~~

====================

Parte 2 of 3~~

A MiMi is not letting her sister get away with this humiliation.  She now pays TinTin a visit and tells him about the trap she and Ram set for her.  TinTin can count on A MiMi’s total support in getting her back together with him.  Valentin has a great laugh now at A MiMi’s expense.  Her sister got the best of her and MiMi isn’t so indestructible after all.  BTW, he doesn’t want or need Ana Leticia’s help in getting revenge.  Oh then would he rather drown himself with alcohol while Ramiro takes a second woman away from him, asks A MiMi?   “—Ramiro and Gina did not come out of the church as man and wife, now did they?”  Ana Lemeeeee is excited to learn that maybe Violentin  may have had a hand in her death after all and asks him as much.   What do you think, he poses darkly?  Was she murdered or did she really die by her own hand?  “—So better think twice before joining forces with me.  You might lose your only sister.  Is that what you really want?”  Ana Leticia gets a really happy face on thinking of this possibility.   

At the hospital, Julieta is in the chapel asking for mercy for brat Daniel.  It isn’t his fault.  (Oh, but it is!)  Please allow one of his brothers to save him.  (Yeah, let them be more humane than she ever was! Yaki was definitely tracking with me about this soulless woman asking favors  for the only son she ever loved—with no regard for the abandoned other two whom she left, and without a single thought for either in 20 years!!  This end of Viewerville is hoping Dios has a huge ‘Gone Fishin’ sign on the door!)

At the manse again, A MiMi convinces Erni she’s a loner because she’s never the center of anyone’s attention.  Everything is always about the missing Ana Lucia or the handicapped Ana Laura.  Now, she knows that Marcelo is alive and has abandoned her all this time, letting everyone think he’s dead while he goes on living his life without her.  Somehow Ramiro is helping him, too!   

Erni takes this as a sign to forgive Ana Leticia and admits she saw Marcelo briefly once herself and he ran off like the coward he is!  A Llora comes into the doorway and listens tearfully to the conversation as Erni explains that the momentary sight of Marcelo at the Dance Aire performance was what gave her the heart attack and caused her to faint.  She wasn’t sure and wanted answers and didn’t know how A MiMi would react to the news, anyway.  Who cares,  A MiMi is back in Abue’s good graces—and that’s all that counts now.

A few minutes later, Cecilia and Soledad are driving to deliver a package from Vidriana to Ana Laura.  Sole walks in and learns whose manse it is in her short conversation with Leonora, who has answered the doorbell.  Nothing more happens and she returns to the car for a lift home.

Meanwhile, Santi gets back to Rem’s place and tells her while she’s cooking dinner that he finally met Marcelo’s father.  She thinks she’s losing him but he tells her that’s not going to happen.  He doesn’t plan to see the man ever again.  A Lucky has walked in and tries persuading him that as the long lost son he owes the man the duty of visiting him again.  After all, it is Marcelo’s father and the man thought he had lost his only son.  Santi asks how she’d react if she’d learned the same about herself?  If she had a family that had lost her years ago and thought she was dead also? Would she turn her back on Soledad if she learned she wasn’t her real mother?   Rem hears all this and nearly has her own heart attack.  Ruh-Roh!  

A Lucky says the question is absurd.  It isn’t the case with her and in any event, she would never turn her back on Soledad.  However Lucky’s certain that his father will eventually come to accept the man Santi is now. 

The blouse Viridiana sent over for A Llora starts A Lemeeeee on another crusade against the woman as just another gold digger.  After all, she had determined to sue Mariano and then she changed her mind and suddenly started sidling up to him.  A Llora defends the woman to Erni who decides she needs to get to know her better, owing to Mo’s interest in her and A Llora’s positive attitude towards her.

Later on, Erni tells Leonora that A MiMi is acting out because she knows Marcelo is alive and has left her while pretending in the most cruel way that he’s been dead all this time.  However, for some reason Ramiro seems to be in contact with him.  She’s wondering what’s behind it all.  Leo defends Ram and his actions.  If he’s been helping Marcelo, he’s had to have a very good reason for it.  Talk turns to Mo and Viridiana actually sharing more than just a casual interest in each other.  The phone signals another text sent for Dama Solitaria. 

At the same time Erni’s reading the text that we figure Rodrigo has just sent, there’s a knock at his door.  It’s Facundo, there to tell Rod that Marcelo is alive and came to see him today.  They share a brotherly hug of relief and joy.

Across town, Sole and Lucky are getting ready for bed.  They giggle about the big mansion Sole stopped at with her delivery this evening.  Would Ana Lucia like all that money and living in a mansion?  Sure, who wouldn’t, she giggles.  “The heiress of a family whose been looking for her for years!”  Sole freaks.  Lucky explains the conversation she had with Santi earlier tonight.  But, truthfully, she adds, anybody who would kidnap children and separate them from their rightful family are guilty as sin and deserve no mercy, ever.

The next day, A MiMi sneaks into Daniel’s ICU room which never seems to have a single nurse or doctor anywhere near it.  The best thing would be if Daniel just stopped breathing.  Of course, Julieta walks in on her and the smiling mask comes up.  She’s soooooo worried for por Danito.  

Daniel dreams about the incidents leading up to his beat down.  Evaristo lets him think it could be Ana Leticia who is behind this since the two of them paid him to kill [deshacerse de= lit. get rid of, kill off] Marcelo, she’d be capable of the same with Daniel, her nuisance of a lover.  Daniel offers him twice what she’s offered Ev.  Marcelo wants to talk to him, but if he doesn’t kill him then Ev may want to unless, afterwards, Daniel agrees to cooperate with Ev and the boys.  Daniel is to keep mum about the deal Ev made with Danny and MiMi to kill Marcelo three years ago.  Dan asks if he doesn’t already know this since his wife told him he knew and was planning to get his revenge.  Ev laughs at that and says he doesn’t know a thing but if Danny opens his mouth at all about it then Ev will kill the both of them! 

End parte 2~~

===================

Parte 3 of 3

Rodrigo lets Facundo stay with him.  Fac has cleaned up rather nicely and the two men discuss SanMarco’s peculiar situation having to deal with all the unusual things that are going on with him after having lost his memory.  Fac doesn’t know the man who sat and talked to him.  That wasn’t his son.  Rod says be patient.  Just because Facundo is used to getting his way in business doesn’t mean he will in family bidnez.  Ok.  In the meantime, since having sold all his properties and having given it to Rod to invest for him was smart.  He’s now got scads of money.  No, says Facundo.  It all belongs to Marcelo.  But he’s going to have to earn it……(We have no idea what that means.)

There’s a knock at the door.  It’s Ram, who we learn Rod hired on Fac’s recommendation, though Rodrigo told him it was a college prof who gave the nod.  Rod introduces him and Fac tells him the two of them need to have a sit down.

Yaki has a powwow with Santi.  Santi’s just as bummed out with life currently as Yaki is.  Santi mentions it’s cuz he just found his dad.  Yaki says he’s just found his mom!  

In the hospital coffee shop, Julieta finally admits Yaki is her son also and that’s why it has to be Yaki who is the donor.  Ana Leticia is Julieta’s only hope in convincing Yaki to help her and Daniel.  Hmmm.  Now that is a horse of a different color.  But no, she won’t be much use.  Then, Julieta asks her to help her locate his brother, Javier—her second “other son”. 

Santi and Yaki discuss Daniel’s beat down and Dan’s now needing a liver transplant, and how his long-lost mama has told him Daniel Escárciga’s his brother and she’s his long lost madre de verdad who he despises.  Turns out he’s penniless and nothing more to the woman than a piece of liver for the little prince.  Sanit now learns that Daniel’s dying and he was the cause of it all—his friend’s brother at death’s door!!!  (Dun-duhn-duhnnnnn!)

Yaki is scared of going through the dangerous operation for that jerkecito, and that woman never gave a crap about him and Javier all these years.  As far as he’s concerned the kid probably deserved the beating.  Let the jerk die for all he cares!  Santi asks him to reconsider.  Why, asks Yaki.  “—Because I’m the reason he’s in there!  I’m the one who put him in the hospital!!”  (Dun-duhnnn-duhnnnnn!)

At the Foundation, TinTin is trying to sidle up to Ana Llora with some silly fundraising scheme and sweet talk.  Ramiro walks in on the two of them and nips it in the bud.

Santi explains it was like a dream but he doesn’t really remember if it was or not.  It is just that the waiter recognized him and Daniel and stated he’d seen him drag Daniel out of the bar that night.  Also he’s got scabs on his knuckles, like he’s been beating somebody up in a brawl.  What else can he think?  And, he plans on telling Daniel’s mother.  Yaki tells him he’s crazy.  The woman is rich and powerful and she will have him locked up and throw away the key!  Anybody would have done it.  I'd have done the same!  No reason to risk himself over that!  Yaki will agree to donate only to save Santi from going to jail.  

Viridiana is chatting with Julieta about the absence of her husband during this family tragedy when Yaki shows up and tells them he’s decided to donate a part of his liver to Daniel.

At the same time, A MiMi has a secret powwow with Evaristo.  She is pissed that she’s spent a fortune for him to protect her from her husband and Ev hasn’t lifted a finger to stop him!  He reminds her that Marco is a threat to him also.  Well, she says, he called her and told her he had her lover in front of him.  "--It’s obvious this is the beginning of his revenge against me."  “—If he left Daniel alive he had a reason.”  She asks Ev what that reason could be.  Well, if Daniel opens his mouth Ev and she are both going to go to jail!!  And????  He’s too old to care where he dies, but it would be a shame If a lovely little young thing like her should be sent away.  So, for her own good, Daniel needs to breathe his last and soon.

Outside Rem’s rooming house, Santi has just pulled up to park.  Lucky walks out to greet him.  He tells her the man the waiter saw him pull out of the bar is now at Death’s door in the hospital.  He thinks he should turn himself into the authorities.  She says absolutely not.  Let’s discuss this.  Just then Facundo shows up to visit.  “—Papa!”  Fac says Ram gave him the address.  He hugs SanMarco.  He looks  over at Lucky.  “—I’m glad to learn that you and my son have found each other and are together again, Ana Leticia.”  Lucky is definitely confused—or thinks his papi is.  She looks at Santi for an explanation/correction…something.  “—Ana Leticia??”

EPISODE #60 / #61........FRIDAY 20TH JULY...........

IN WHICH ANA LE SETTLES MANY OF HER DEBTS.......

(SOME SCENE CONSOLIDATION BELOW, DONT BE CONFUSED........)

Skipping the rehash and going straight to the new material, because far be it from me to deprive you all of the episode that might just make you wish you could kick some of these characters in a shin. No finger pointing though (Llora). 

So we ended on Facundo confusing Ana Lu for Ana Leticia. Before Santicelo could collect his split personality brain cells and think up an excuse, Ana Lu gave him a huge break by assuming that Facundo had just mistaken Leticia with Lucia, since he probably just heard it for the first time yesteday! So she corrected him and invited him for coffee. Santi of course played along, and Facundo – quick thinking on his feet (he must have had a lot of time to do crossword puzzles and Sudoku in his cave) – did as well.

(Side note – what is happening to Ana Lu’s blouse there? Is it borrowed from Ana Le?) 

Our selfless boy Inaki is not letting us down and asks for a small fortune in exchange for a piece of his liver. Julietta is shocked and tries to bargain – she will give him money after everything goes successfully. Well, he is not her son for nothing, so he wants assurances too. Since she cannot guarantee Daniel will not kick the bucket, he wants the money now.   How about half the money? And half after? Nope, this doesn’t work either. 

With a deep sigh Julietta writes him a check. How can she know he won’t just leave them and never come back? Inaki thinks it’s ironic she is talking about leaving. He also apparently has not discovered mobile banking yet, so he is off to a brick and mortar bank to deposit the check, then wait for the money to clear, while Daniel is camping out in this spa relaxing with a tube down his throat. While on the way to the bank, Inaki stops by the furniture store and buys almost everything they have there, including this new invention…. “oh, is that a lamp?? I will get it!!” 

Llora is lunching with Ramiro five minutes into the episode, thus commencing the longest yet stretch of wishing she were taken by a tornado to a far-away land along with Toto. She is short with Ramiro to show she is upset. Llora declares that her sister explained to her why she went along with their plan and she believes her, it’s something very serious. Ramiro better be completely honest with her  - their relationship depends on that. Now, if Ramiro was a little smarter, he would just throw in the towel, give up on this walking contradiction and walk out. But he is not, though he is finally starting to get just a bit angry – why does Llora always believe Ana Le? She knows everything about her! What was it that Ana Le told Llora to make her doubt? She told her Marcelo is alive. Oh, that…. Well, Ramiro can’t give her many details about that, except that Marcelo isn’t hiding and he has his reasons, and he, Ram, didn’t know Marcelo was alive until a couple of weeks ago. 

Understandably, Llora doubts every word Ramiro says, because – unlike Ana Le – he does not pepper in insults while speaking to her (and we are becoming certain those are what makes Llora believe truth is being told). Llora thinks this changes everything. And if Ramiro can’t tell her anything, she will have to ask Marcelo herself. If Ram loves her, as he says he does, he will arrange a meeting. To think that all this time he made her believe Ana Le was a liar, when Ramiro himself is a liar! And every time he disappoints her. (No, Llora, you manage to disappoint yourself, and us, and our TVs, all on your own every day. Some days more than others.) 

Remedios and Facundo are sitting down with Santi and Ana Lu. Everybody’s insecurities surface and this turns into an episode of “Who knows and loves Santiago/Marcelo better?”. Nobody wins, in case you had any doubts, though Facundo decides to move in to Rem’s pension. Isn’t it too modest? Well, Marcelo could become accustomed to such…err…place, and so can Facundo then. (I am certainly beginning to “like” this character. He and Julietta might make a good pair of friends....). 

Sole and Ana Lu are debriefing in their room. Sole is weirded out by Facundo coming over to live at the pension. She and Ana Lu philosophize on the topic of child loss, when Ana Lu notices that Sole speaks with much knowledge on the subject. Sole shrugs it off and notes that she understands Remedios. It is tough to realize that children don’t belong you, or that perhaps that they never have.

Santi and Facundo are chatting about his personality and about Ana Lu. Facundo is much less concerned with moral qualms of hiding Ana Lu from her family – he just wants his son back, and will do anything to accomplish that.  

At the dinner at the mansion, Abue congratulates herself  on their new found unity and Leonor has made Ana Le’s favorite dish to spoil her!(Oh how fleeting is the common sense – one episode it is there for ten minutes and then it’s off and not to be seen for 20 episodes more. )

Elsewhere at the pension, Facundo is back for a round 2 with Remedios – this time at dinner, and it is announced that he will become the newest resident. This time around Facundo does not stop with Remedios only, but grants his condescending attitude generously to all who asks. Sole almost spits out her food when Facundo announces he will be staying and hopes to become part of this family.

Julietta is crying over Daniel. She will do whatever it takes to help him live.

Llora is back home to talk to Ana Le. Ramiro gave her his version about Marcelo and she believes him (Really? That’s not the impression you gave us, Llora.) Ana Le brushes her off – Marcelo is hiding, she just needs to find out why, and Llora should leave – nothing she does is of any use anyway. Ana Le backtracks immediately, though, once she is informed that Llora got herself an audience with Marcelo. Ana Le has a plan.

That plan, of course, is to dress like Llora and go see Marcelo. Early in the morning, Ana Le is ready to go and is stopped by Leonor, who does not realize it is not Llora, and cheerfully chats her up about the hope they gave Abue on finding Ana Lu and the fact that she does, in fact, love Llora more than Ana Le. 

Facundo sneaks up on Soledad and wants to chat. His son went to work. He sneers at this mockery of a job Santi has now. Please! If only he could remember who he was. He didn’t want to become a businessman like Facundo, so he became a federal agent. Later, when he quit, he opened his own agency and he was a wonderful investigator. Say, Sole, did you know he was investigating a case of a lost girl, away from her family for years, right before he “died”. You wouldn’t happen to know anything about it, would you?

Sole tries to explain her position, but Facundo will hear nothing. Sole is not a mother, she is a criminal. He is disgusted by her and is surprised Marcelo is going along with that. Well, Sole has an opinion too – his precious Marcelo is just the worst person she knows. At least Sole doesn’t have her hands in blood (again - selective memory, Sole, but for the sake of argument…). Facundo doesn’t believe her and how dare she talk like that about his son.

Meanwhile Inaki is showing his new furniture to his brother. All this money came from a recent commission he received on a sale. In fact, Inaki thinks Javier should go tell all the hostel residents how well he is doing. Well, they will all be happy for you, thinks Javier – especially dad. Dad is not worth anything, never was, says Inaki. Javier meekly tries to defend the dad and loses several respect points for listening to Inaki at all and not stopping him. 

Inaki tells Javier he is going on a trip for a couple of weeks. Should something happen to him on this trip, he is showing Javier where he keeps the money. Javier is super confused. 

Nerina comes to keep sad Remedios company. 

Santi is back at Ramiro’s telling him how much he complicated his life by giving the address of the hostel to Facundo. Mea culpa, says Ramiro, I wish I had thought about that. Suddenly a doorbell rings – oh that must be Llora. What???? Santi is panicking. “Oh, right, forgot to tell you, but I invited Llora, ‘cause she was, like, all over me to visit and stuff, and I couldn’t do anything”, says Ramiro, in not quite such youth-oriented lingo, but that is what that explanation sounded like in my head, for all the sense it made. Ok, fine – Santi jumps on board surprisingly quickly – I will meet her. Can’t hide forever.

“Llora” is invited in, Ram gives her a kiss and after a couple of moments of her staring at Marcelo (and us hoping that someone – anyone – recognizes her), she asks Ramiro to leave them alone. He obliges. (And so much for knowing Llora’s voice.  Ramiro continues to lose points as well.)

A long conversation ensues, during which Santi does not realize it is not Llora, but also does not reveal the memory loss. He does ask and talk about divorce he is planning to ask for, and the one they were discussing  a while back with Ana Le. Santi says he is in love with another woman and wants to spend the rest of his life with her. To all Ana Le’s tears and demands on specifics, he responds that he doesn’t own her (Llora, he thinks) any explanations. Santi doesn’t bear any ill will to Ana Le. He also thinks his car crash was not an accident, and that someone is still trying to kill him. His life was in danger a couple of weeks ago in Costa Paraiso, where he saw Jenny dying. Say what? What did she tell you? What, what?? Marcelo is surprised she is so agitated and does not want to talk about that further

Llora and Leonor are discussing the trick that Llora and Ana Le pulled. Llora does not seem to feel bad in the slightest deceiving her boyfriend like that, but - keeping her priorities straight - she is upset and worried when Leonor mentions she almost spilled the beans about the bracelet to Ana Le dressed as Llora.  

Facundo is still talking to Sole, trying to convince her that his son never hurt an innocent person, even if he did kill in his job. Well, who are you to decide who lives who dies, asks Sole. Santi is noble and is trying to change, says Sole. If you want to help him, disappear from his life. Happiness of their children is in their own hands. Facundo is not convinced though – he will do whatever it takes to get his son back. 

Nerina sympathizes with Sole – Sole must be afraid she will lose Santi one of these days. Nerina knows what it is like to lose your child’s respect. One day Nerina’s kids were with her and loved her and the other - they threw her out of their lives. Rem confesses that she knows she should be happy for Santi, but she isn’t.  

Ana Lu is looking for Santi, when Facundo, who must be making rounds, comes up to talk to her. Hypocritical Facundo sings praises to Sole - a great woman. Ana Le tries to help Facundo by explaining the struggles Santi is going through. Facundo is outraged Santi would not believe himself to be a good person. He is a successful confident man, not a simple cab driver. Whatever it is – says Ana Lu – clearly not impressed by the future father-in-law's snobbery - what matters is how Santi feels. Santi is desperate: he thinks he killed someone and he wants to self-surrender. 

Samuel is sitting nervously in Mariano’s office. They are waiting for Ana Le, so Samuel could give her important information (divorce papers?). When it becomes clear Ana Le is a no-show, Mariano asks to at least look at what Samuel wants to discuss, and is shocked by the folder’s contents.

Adriana shows up to inform them that Inaki will be taking a couple of weeks off for a surgery. 

Julietta and Inaki chat to the doctor on prepping him for surgery. As Inaki walks out, Julietta kisses him on the cheek, which Inaki promptly and demonstratively wipes off. Julietta then talks to Daniel about Inaki, a brother who came to save him. What she doesn’t know, is that Ev is listening from behind the door. 

As a parting thought, Ana Le needs to know if Marcelo still loves his wife. Santi doesn’t understand why "Llora" gets so upset over this. He does love Ana Le, but he will squash that feeling. He knows she cheated. They talk about Daniel and Ana Le asks if it was Marcelo, who beat him up. You must still love my sister, your wife, otherwise you wouldn’t have reacted that way. Santi only wants the divorce. Well, if “Llora” knows her sister at all, Ana Le will fight to regain Marcelo’s love. 

Back to Ana Lu and Facundo. Facundo thinks it’s ridiculous for Santi to be turning himself in. Ana Lu asks for his help and Facundo promises that all will be alright. 

Tin, Abue and Valeria are at the foundation, concocting some plan to have Tin and Llora spend time with children. Tin says loves Llora and wants to stay her friend.

Inaki is getting prepped for surgery. 

Marcelo tells Facundo about Daniel. Facundo thinks he defended what’s his, and shouldn’t feel bad about it. Is that what Marcelo is proud of – being a weakling?  Santi is shocked and doesn’t like those words. Is that how Facundo raised him? What is he thinking?  Santi needs to turn himself in, otherwise Daniel will do it when he gets better. With any luck, says Facundo, he won’t get better and will die.

Ana Le, freshly recovered from the shock of seeing her dearly departed husband and nicely dressed, is visiting Inaki at the hospital and teases him. Then she is off to see Daniel. Ana Le remembers how they met right after Marcelo’s funeral, when – as a true bipolar – she was sad about Marcelo's death. Daniel could not understand why she was upset, if she ordered the hit herself. 

In the present, Ana Le kisses him and wishes for him to die. (Another side note – where is Julietta’s husband? Is he coming back from Brazil on foot?) As Ana Le is exiting from Daniel’s room, she makes eye contact with Ev, who is standing guard apparently, or waiting for an opportune moment to off Daniel. 

Here is our triple (quadruple?) mystery again: We already saw Ev multiple times at the hospital. We also saw Ana Le. At night, while Santi is asleep, Facundo gets up, dresses and goes somewhere. And as a cherry on top - Santi has a dream that he went into Daniel’s room (dressed as Marcelo) and cut off his oxygen supply. So which one of them did it?

And we know that it has been done because in the morning – juts as Inaki finished some phone conversations, and was entertaining Julietta and accepting thanks – the doctor comes in to inform Julietta that Daniel is dead.
