Stuck In A Rut

Mia’s self-satisfied, seeing that she’s ruined the relationship between Santiago and her mother.  She checks with Federico to see if he’s still on board with her plan to put the brakes on Raquel and Santi’s relationship.  He’ did his part in telling Mama he’s against her going to bed with Santiago.  He’s got a life even if she doesn’t.  He doesn’t feel like standing guard over Mama.
Rueda pays a visit to Alina and threatens her personal and professional life if she doesn’t stop praying on younger boys.  He’s going to make her pay for what she did to his kid. (What we’re not sure of is whether Rueda’s son did something drastic after she dumped him.)

3 YEARS AGO
, even though Raq and Damian supposedly made up and had a bout it bed to test the relationship, it must have failed because he went back to the hotel and Raq doesn’t have much to say to the kids the next morning, but that they’re working it out.
Carolina tells Santi that she’s been distant to him and is going to try harder to be a better wife and mother.  
Dam returns to work.  Andreas greets him with the fact that his wife was checking up on Dam’s “extracurricular activities” but he kept to the pact and kept his mouth shut.  Now Dam better also keep to his part of the bargain.
Gabriela pays a visit to Raq to demand respect from her son who rudely came to her doorstep accusing her of sleeping with Dam.  Why was she knocking on his hotel door then???  Because Christian was staying there in the same hotel, duh.  
Santi brags to his workers that there’s been a change in Caro for the better.CMTELLYUPDATE
Raq stops for coffee at Caro’s and asks if she knows who Dam is cheating on her with and/or if.  Caro tells Raq that she doesn’t believe Dam is playing around on her.  Caro has to leave because she’s got an important appointment this morning.
Caro goes to the school principal and accuses El Don Juan de Damasita’s of making moves on his students and in particular, on her daughter.
Godoy arrives home late and is guilted into making love to Laura that night.   The next morning she’s back to her old tricks, wanting information to break the news with.  While he’s in the shower, she steals a look into his phone for a list of callers and spies SinCin’s name numerous times.
Raq gets ready for work at the factory.  Mia insists on learning the business and forces Raq to take her with her for the day.
Lola give her dad the 3rd degree about his relationship with Raquel.  Is it serious or not?  He cannot say at this point.
At the jail, Bebo, Alina and Nicolas are going over the reason that Nacho cannot get bail.  Bebo is told his father needs an alibi and a witness that would place him somewhere else during the time of the crime against Caro.  Bebo says they were on the phone back and forth.  Alina has Nico get a P.I. to investigate the phone records for Nacho that night.CMTELLYUPDATE
Rueda meets with Miriam an advises her that half of the missing funds have reappeared.  She accuses him of being bribed with the other half of them.  He objects to her insinuation.
Cinthia meets with Godoy in the police waiting area.  While she’s warning Godoy that she’s worried because Rafael won’t speak with her and confide in her so he might no longer trust her, Laura jealously watches Godoy and SinCin and she suspects the worst and leaves without letting hubby know she’s been there.
Rafael meets with Rueda and wants to be put on his payroll (?)  I don’t know what information he says he might have for Rueda.
Santi calls Raq at the factory and they bemoan their lacking permission from the kids for a lovelife together.
In the factory area, Mia comes to sneer at Fede; then Fede gets docked for wasting time.CMTELLYUPDATE
Rafe has a meet with Bebo; he offers cash to deliver a package to somebody.  (I was totally uncertain who or what or why, but it wasn’t kosher.)
Dam meets the kids after school for a late lunch to discuss his problems with them and their mother and himself.  He gets nowhere, but then who expects that to make any difference to kids anyway……
Pati gives Lola a hard time about fooling around with the teach.  Everybody knows about their relationship so now she cannot act like she’s better than the rest of them.  She whines to her girlfriend that her life is a big failure.
Caro gets home that afternoon and tells Lola what she did about her teacher, but the upset it causes is too great and she has bad belly pains….

I'll BE KEEPING AN EYE ON YOU
WHO DO WE KNOW COULD HAVE SAID THIS.............

En el pasado
Damian is finishing his lunch with his children and giving them a cock 'n bull story about how he and Raq are going to solve their problems--alone. Mia objects that they should be included as they are a family and have their own problems that need to be addressed. Loudly she says everyone treats her as though she is crazy, but she's not. Dam makes her sit down and stay until they are done so as not to cause a scandal.CMTELLYUPDATE
Juan's mother, Luisa, shows up at the Alvarado house. She begs Caro not to report Juan to the police. She promises to get Juan psychological help. She tells them that his father beat him. Caro tells her to make sure Juan stays away from Lola or she will go to the police.
Miriam shows up in Dam's office, eager to get him out of the hotel (and unstated, back to her waiting arms and home). He announces he's not going to separate from Raq. Miriam is none to happy to hear that and more when he refuses to discuss his personal affairs with her. She tells him she's not going to let him ruin his life with a fling that's gotten out of hand.CMTELLYUPDATE
Raq is at the catering office. Andres shows up. He hints that he likes one of the girls working there. Since he can't have Raquel, he must look elsewhere. She tells him to stop sniffing around her office. He comes out and says that whenever he sees her, all desire for anyone else disappears. She's disgusted with him and tells him to leave. He hints about all the stuff that goes on in this place.
Santi arrives home with a bouquet of flowers for Caro. Lola tells him Caro's cramps were her fault. Meanwhile, Dam is on the phone with Caro. He says he did what she asked him to do--he's back with Raquel just so he can keep seeing her on the sly. That's not what Caro had in mind. She hangs up before Santi comes in. She accepts the flowers. She says she's fine and is no longer confined to bed rest. She didn't tell him about Lola and Juan and going to the director of the school because she knows how he gets--crazy, which is exactly what he does. She assures him it's all settled (never mentioning the physical assault) and Lola won't be seeing Juan any more. (I think she's taking Nacho's words of advice to be nice to Santi.) They snuggle in bed for the rest of the day.
At the Beckers' dinner is a silent affair. At the Alvarados' everyone in happily interacting and enjoying preparing a family meal.

Epoca Actual
Three years later, the three Beckers are still eating in silence. The remaining Alvarados are now pensively silent.CMTELLYUPDATE
Raquel is at the hospital telling a comatose Damian that now she knows that it was Caro who wouldn't let Dam separate from her. Now the same thing is happening to her, but she doesn't want to do it the way he did it. She doesn't want to hurt her children. She turns and sees Santi waiting for her, gazing at her longingly.
The kids have a group conversation with the phone on speaker. Of course, Mia's complaints and accusations are the loudest. Mia tells them they can do whatever they like, but she and Fede aren't going to let Raq and Santi be together. She hangs up on Nico and Lola, who were beginning to understand they shouldn't be interfering in Santi's love life.
Santi has taken Raq home. They commiserate over their children's lack of support for their relationship. They do not want to hurt their children. Raq says there's not much else to say and starts to get out of the car. Santi grabs her back and a desperate kiss is exchanged. Santi tells Raq he loves her and she says she loves him, too. (First time they both use "amar" instead of "querer," which has a deeper meaning in Spanish.) More kissing. Raquel finally indicates that this is all they have, this is who they are. Santi asks her not to make it so difficult. He loves her, he needs her, he wants to be with her. She answers that she's his and is with him, but there is too much that separates them. She kisses him goodbye and gets out of the car.
Mia stridently finishes telling Fede off and says she doesn't want Santi and their mother together because look what happened to Dam and Caro and it's all her mother's fault. When Fede wants to know how she can blame their mother, Mia's upside down logic tells her that if Raq had discovered the affair, none of this would have happened and now it's happening between her and Santi and it's worse because Dam is dying. Fede gives up. His parting advice is for her to stop messing in other people's lives and think about her own. Mia insists she's not going to let Santi and Raq be together. She's going to separate them, alone if necessary. Her look of determination is scary.CMTELLYUPDATE
Lola and Nico are also tying up loose ends of the prior convo. They both think the relationship is wrong and Santi and Raquel will end up hurting each other. Lola brings Alina into the conversation. He really has no answer as to how he feels about Lola or Alina.
Mia sees Raq arrive home. She grills Raq about where she's been until Raq finally says nothing is going to happen between her and Santi. Mia then calls Nico. He doesn't answer. Mia leaves a message to the effect that he can't play with her, not after what happened between them. (I think she means some sex.) She tells him he's cruel but she can be worse and swears it. Her look of determination is scary.
Santi arrives home. He tells his kids there is no relationship with Raquel. They can relax. It's over. That's what they wanted isn't it? It ended before it could begin.
Laura is "examining" Juan's naked selfie on her phone when Fernando arrives home. They argue about, what else, the lack of information he can give her on the Carolina case. Then she "happens" to bring up the sister of Raquel Cohen, one Cinthia. He says she has nothing to do with the case. Laura says she checked his phone and saw all those messages from her. He's furious and tit for tat, he grabs her phone and sees Juan all splayed out.
At night in their bedrooms, Raq and Santi are alone, together, but apart. Santi has Benji, but Raq only has the ghost of Damian past staring down at her.CMTELLYUPDATE
Rueda and Andres have a little confab over money (or the half that's going to go in Rueda's pocket) and Nacho. What they have on him is weak and Rueda doesn't think it's enough to divert suspicion from Andres if Nacho goes free. Andres protests he didn't do it. He asks Rueda if a check is ok.
Next day, Santi tells Lola he feels guilty that she has become Benji's stand-in mother when she is his sister, but proud of her, too, for taking over all the household tasks and still stay in school. She says she's happy to do it.
Raquel meets with the foundation doctor. She confides in him regarding Mia--her obsession with her every movement. Raq thinks she, herself is the one who needs therapy--she's fallen in love with Santiago. He knows who she's talking about. Doc thinks love doesn't listen to reason or logic and she has every right. Raq isn't asking permission, she's wondering about the sanity of being with her husband's lover's husband and her kids not taking it well. Doc counsels her that the kids are thinking more of themselves than of her, but perhaps they are the ones who are pushing her to form a new relationship. (Sorry, I just didn't follow HIS logic.) He adds that she should think of herself, she's suffered enough.
Cin sets up the apartment to video tape Rafael for Fernando. Regrettably, he says nothing compromising. She tries to get him to talk about getting her more drugs to sell, then about the watches and cufflinks she stole from Raq.
Now we know what Rafa asked Bebo to sell. The buyer won't give him much because they are engraved. Bebo is getting nervous, but no go, not even when he mentions Rafa's name.CMTELLYUPDATE
Santi goes to see Alina. She can't let him see Nacho. She tells him not to trust the police, even Antonio. He should only trust her.
Nico is alone in Alina's office looking for some documents for her. Ex-Sammy comes in and takes a threatening stance, but just looks at him and tells him to ask Alina if she remembers Sammy. (Uh oh).
Raq arrives at the Legato offices and sees Azucena. She wants to discuss how they lost one of their big pasta clients. Azzie says Andres was handling the account and she can imagine how that went. Raq sees Andres and tells him she's taking over the canceled contract--if he doesn't mind.
En el pasado
Damian returns to the house in the morning. He wants a new beginning. He wants to help Raquel. He'd like to go to the catering offices with her.
Caro is all aglow in the morning. Santi is buzzing around happily. He wants a new beginning. They decide to go to the catering office together.
The two couples meet there. Raq is gushing about having all four together again and needing Caro at the offices. She tells Caro the gossip about Ariana, Caro's assistant, who is actually going with Andres, when she thought they were talking about Dam. They share coffee and seem to be having a good time. Santi has to leave to go to work--Gabriela's last stand--and Raq asks for a ride to the Foundation, nearby. Dam offers to take Caro home when she's ready.CMTELLYUPDATE
In the car, Santi tells Raq he's glad Dam's back. She thinks it's all very odd, because he never said why he left. Santi opines that sometimes one of the pair needs some time and space away. Raq wonders if that applies to him, too. She asks if he's ever left his house. He says no, but he kinda thought about it. He didn't because he was afraid to; he didn't want to hurt Caro. Raq says she wishes Dam would have thought the same. They agree that in a relationship there is always one who loves the other more. In her relationship, Raq says it is she; in Santi's relationship, he says it is he. They both quietly reflect.
Back at the catering office, Damian and Caro tell each other they came to the office by chance. Caro asks to be forgiven (Dam fiddles with his wedding band) for thinking he was cheating with Ariana. Dam says he's told her he has eyes for no one but her (although he plays a good game with Raq and gets sex to boot). Caro also apologizes for getting all hot under the collar about Gabriela. (Honey, now can you see why you can't trust a cheater? He might cheat on you. Maybe Dam is telling you the truth, but can you ever erase that doubt?) She's surprised he really did go back to Raq just so he could go on seeing her. Dam says he's nothing without her. They end up in a clutch and he eats her mouth. He begs her to go away with him, NOW. She says she can't. He needs her. Santi is watching her more closely now.

AND THAT'S ALL FOR NOW FOLKS........
