Brayan Cuts Ties With Jessica. Pedro & Julieta Plot Against Sarah’s Pregnancy. Sarah Confronts Simon Over The Attempted Mürder Of Deborah. Brandon Is Arrested. Juan Deals With Aurora.
Julieta is literally crying on Juan’s shoulder and blames it all on Mateo. Juan will talk to him but seems surprised because Mateo has shown that he has changed. Julieta becomes indignant and says that he has to believe her because she is his wife. Juan knows that but Mateo is his brother, too.
Julieta thinks that Mateo wants to make their lives difficult. She starts begging him for a honeymoon so they can have some time to themselves and away from his family. Juan says “no can do” because the company is going through some very difficult times. Julieta thinks it would be a great chance to let Pedro run the company. Juan says he can’t do it. She argues that he will never know unless he gives Pedro a chance.
Juan wonders about why she’s defending Pedro. She insists that everything she does is for the sake of their child. Juan makes it clear that the only way that Pedro will get to be the president is if he is ousted by the board for having done a bad job. Julieta doesn’t miss a beat and begins to complain about how nervous and upset she is about everything that has happened and how she found Deborah.
Juan looks like he has had it and turns to leave. Julieta asks him not to go and whines for him to come back and sleep in his bedroom. She wants them to be closer so that their baby can feel him there lol. Jessica screams at Brayan accusing him of going crazy and going off with someone else. He loudly tells her to stop making those stupid comments already.
Rosa jumps to her defense saying that she will not have him talk that way to her daughter. She has done so much for him by educating him and he is being an ingrate. Prospi jumps in and tells his wife not to get involved in Jessica’s business. He says Brayan must have his reasons. Jessica asks if he is on Brayan’s side now. No, he is on the side of reason. Prospi reminds her that he advised her to go with her husband and live somewhere else but she refused to understand.
Jessica is sure he is cheating on her and Rosa agrees. Prospi says he is supporting Jessica and he tells her to get her things and leave his house with her husband. Jessica says she will never go to live at the Cruz’s house again. Brayan approaches her and calmly tells her that THEY ARE OVER. Brayan picks up his bag, thanks Prospi and leaves.
Jessica sits there with her mother blubbering that this cannot be happening! Rosa says she is not the first woman to be abandoned and that they will take care of her. Prospi disagrees. Jessica will be getting a part time job because from now on she will be contributing to the expenses. Rosa is clearly shocked but says nothing.
Adela comes by Sarah’s room to check on her. Sarah is grateful for her attention and asks why she has been so good to her. Adela explains how good Sarah has been with her and how Severiano and Catalina were always good to her too. She and Catalina really got along well but Rosa broke up their friendship. Sarah asks why? Adela says there were so many things.
Sarah wants to hear all about them. Adela would rather talk about how Catalina always took her sons to the refuge and how beautiful it was.
It is breakfast, and Adela tells Brayan that she understands how bad things have been with Jessica but she doesn’t know if it was a good idea to leave her alone. Brayan says he gave her the choice to come with him.
As Brandon starts going off on Julieta and Rosa and arguing with his mother, Agustín brings over Mati’s back pack and takes out what looks like a package shaped like a brick but is really a brick of weed. He asks Brayan what is he doing with this?? Brayan is shocked into silence. As Pedro is leaving for work, Julieta has news for him. Sarah is pregnant.
He takes her into the home office to talk. Simón wakes up, sees his phone and smiles. He leaves Paloma asleep and rushes out. In the process, he knocks her purse off the floor and her birth control pills fall out. He picks them up and wakes her up. He was to know how long she has been taking the pill. Doesn’t she want to have a baby with him? He wants an answer. Paloma can only stare at him.
Julieta wants to know why Pedro didn’t tell her that Sarah was pregnant. He explains that he found out because he saw the pregnancy test. Sarah is unaware that he knows. He says they have to think of something to do because if Juan finds out, he will divorce Julieta and have a family with Sarah. Julieta says that cannot happen. She will not have Sarah and her offspring ruining things for her.
Pedro says they need to think of doing something quick because Sarah’s belly isn’t going to remain hidden for long. Pedro concludes that they have to get rid of the baby. Julieta thinks that getting rid of Sarah and the baby is the solution. Pedro says Sarah is not to be touched. Only the baby is to go. He makes it clear that it is either his way or he will not help her.
Juan meets Aurora in a barn and gives his mother the rights to his part of the refuge that his mother left to him with the understanding that she is not welcome at his home or the hacienda. He makes it clear that this is all about Pedro’s peace of mind. She is damaging him. She scoffs at the fact that he would be doing this for Pedro of all people. From what she knows, Pedro hasn’t been a very good brother.
He tells her that she has no right to give her opinion on Pedro being a good brother or not. Aurora says she always was Pedro’s protector from the time he was a little boy. Juan says he always will be. She can do whatever she wants with her part of the refuge but she is to stay out of their lives. Aurora tries to stifle a smirk. Sarah is at Deborah’s bedside asking when her mother will wake up.
The doctor says they have done all they can but Debora’s brain response has not been good. It was the mixture of a very strong poison with the alcohol that put her in the coma. The doctor refuses to say there is no hope because some patients can be like this for years. The only other alternative is for Sarah to remove her mother’s medical support and wait for the worst to happen.
The doctor leaves and Sarah begs her mother to wake up, meet her grandchild and not to die. Brayan asks him where he got so much weed from? Brandon tries to explain that he was only taking care of the backpack for Mati and about the bicycle money. Adela tells him he is going to return the backpack right now. Brandon gets out his phone and tells Mati he wants to see her now.
Simón is asking Paloma how long has she been making fun of him and betraying him. She says she hasn’t been betraying him and she has her own right to handle her reproductive options any way she wants to. He says they talked about having a child. They want the same thing. Paloma explains that he was the one who decided he wanted a child. He didn’t even take her opinion into account. He says at least he told her what he wanted.
He asks when was she planning on telling him her husband that she was on the pill. She says she didn’t know because she was afraid. He doesn’t get how she could have been afraid of him. Paloma admits that she is afraid of how he gets (like now) his actions, and the way he talks to her. She explains that she wants to develop her career before becoming a mother. He needs to understand that.
Simon asks since when has he prevented her. She explains that has been the case ever since he decided he didn’t want her practicing law, singing in public, all of his actions and his machismo. Simón explains that a machista would not have allowed her to go sing at the cantina or to help the Millán family. She says the only way he permitted her to do those things were because they argued about them.
She then cancelled her idea of forming a law firm because he was never going to approve. He says she doesn’t need to do all that. She asks him who is he to decide if she needs it or not. He knew it was her dream to be a lawyer. Simón says all of this isn’t even related to what they’re talking about. She tells him yes it does have everything to do with it because it all has to do with him wanting to control her life.
Sarah takes Deborah’s hand and holds it against her belly asking if she can feel the life inside of her. Dante comes in telling her that it does her mother so much good to hear her voice. He explains that even though he wasn’t really family the doctor allowed him to stay. He is there to give Sarah a break. He will always be there for her and her mother. Sarah thanks him. He explains that the lab results for the wine are not back yet.
They have no idea who sent it. The hacienda worker who accepted the package was questioned but there was nothing he could tell them. Dante makes a point of telling Sarah that somebody wanted to kill her mother. Sarah wonders who?? Dante says there won’t be more information until her mother wakes up but for now it is best to leave the investigation in the hands of the police.
Sarah decides to leave. She needs to talk to him about something else later at the office. They hug before she leaves. Dante is left all alone looking at Deborah.Aurora is taking a trip down memory lane with Juan as she leaves the hacienda. She remembers walking around the hacienda holding her two sons in her arms. Juan does not care to hear about it. She has been paid so she can go away forever.
Aurora asks if he løves his brother so much that he would give his life for him. Juan reminds her that he is capable of that and much more for his brother. Pedro has spotted them and is approaching them. He grabs Aurora by the throat and starts to choke her. Juan manages to peel him off of Aurora as she screams that Pedro is the same as her. He screams that he isn’t and damns her.
Aurora says a child who damns his mother will end up damned himself. Lucas finds Mateo on the floor of his room and asks him what happened.
Mateo says he never should’ve been born. Lucas tells him he needs to honor the memory of his parents and never say anything like that. Mateo then says that their father found him in a river where he was dying from the cold.
Lucas finds that odd because he had always heard that Mateo had been found at the cantina. Lucas notices that Mateo is burning up from a fever and calls for Modesto. He helps a very weak and delirious Mateo into bed. Julieta comes in to see what is wrong. Lucas tells her she must be happy as he points at Mateo. He tells her to leave. Modesto comes in and feels Lucas’ forehead and leaves.
Pedro asks Juan what was in the envelope that Aurora had. Juan is not discussing it. He does not want another argument. Pedro keeps pushing. Did he give her money? Juan says it isn’t the right time to talk about it. Pedro asks what she was doing a the hacienda. Juan makes it clear that he will not allow her to ruin their lives again.Pedro asks why Juan didn’t tell him that she was coming.
Juan asks what good would that have done? He tells Pedro that it doesn’t matter how far away she goes, if Pedro cannot get her out of his head, she is going to torment him for the rest of his life. Pedro takes out his phone and calls Dante. He wants to know what Juan gave to Aurora. Dante doesn’t know anything about that. Cornelio goes to see Beatriz. She asks what he is doing there.
He wants her to cancel the protection order. Tadeo is happy to see him. Bea explains that she has a protection order because she does not want any more problems. She wants to live in peace with him. He asks if she will ever forgive him for what he did to her. Cornelio says he knows he made a mistake and he accepts responsibility for it. He wants to talk to her alone but she refuses.
Sarah runs into Simón leaving the hacienda and she blames him for what happened to her mother. He insists that he did nothing to Deborah even though they both know he had plenty of motives. She asks if he was like that with Catalina. Simón says she needs to get her story straight.
Her mother gave birth to her out of infidelity. His mother saved him from death and allowed him to be born again. Sarah reminds him that Deborah is her mother and she will leave no stone unturned until she finds out who did this to her. She says she has a long list: Cornelio, Prospi, or him? She doesn’t care.
He can leave his stupid cynicism aside because she swears that whoever was responsible is going to fall. Cornelio finally agrees. He won’t insist. He only wants to protect Tadeo. Tadeo overhears the conversation and asks if he is talking about protecting him from the bad lady. Cornelio hugs him saying that the bad lady will never hurt him again.
At the cantina, Adela and family are still discussing what to do with the backpack waiting for Mati to arrive. Mati walks in as planned but with the police. She points out Brandon. The police commander says that Brandon is under arrest for selling drugs at the local high school.
Simón doesn’t care if Sarah sues him. He told her himself what happened to her mother on the street so there wouldn’t be a misunderstanding but it looks like it wasn’t worth his breath to be honest with her. She warns him if it turns out to be him who is at fault, she will see him in jail even though he is her brother.
Paloma comes out in tears running after Simón but he is gone. Sarah holds her as she cries and asks her what is wrong. Mati accuses Brandon of selling drugs at school and says that the backpack is his. Adela and family attest to Brandon’s innocence. Still, the police take Brandon away.
Dante arrives at Juan’s office explaining he had gone to see Deborah. Juan shocks Dante by saying that he gave Aurora his part of the refuge. Dante reminds him that his part is worth millions of pesos. Juan assures Dante that he knows what he is doing. Paloma never thought she would be crying on Sarah’s shoulder about Simón. Sarah says that is what friends are for.
Sarah knows that he has a difficult personality. Paloma insists he is a good man full of such resentment that it is difficult to forgive and forget with him. Sarah brings up the car incident. Paloma says he never meant to hit her. It was an accident. She tells her of her argument with Simon earlier; they argued so intensely that Simón forgot what time it was.
He left the computer open to a page about anti-depressives. Paloma doesn’t know what is happening to him. He said he had seen a medical article that had led him to do some research but she doesn’t understand those things. Julieta appears wanting to be a pest. Sarah tells her it is none of her business.
Julieta asks Sara if it has ever crossed her mind that Simón might have poisoned her mother with his anti-depressives??? Pedro sees Aurora on the street and calls after her. She keeps walking and says she knew he would come looking for her. Pedro says he is only there to ask her what Juan gave her to get her out of their lives.
She stops, turns and smiles. Juan gave her a “campo verde”. She says that her “good son”gave her his share of the refuge. Pedro says that cannot be!! She says that is what Juan was willing to give up so she would no longer torment him. Pedro asks what she is going to do with the land and suggests that she sign it over to him so they can become partners.
Dante knows that it is possible to do all kinds of things where family is concerned. Juan says just like with his son. Dante asks “son?” but then quickly corrects his reaction and says he is still in the hospital. Beatriz comes in to tell Dante that there is a young man down at the reception desk who says he is his son.
Both Dante and Juan look surprised. Beatriz asks if she should let him in. Paloma is insisting that Simón had nothing to do with Deborah’s accident. Julieta says He had every reason to do it. Sarah tells Julieta she hopes that nobody wants to see her mother dead. Julieta insists that her mother is not like Sarah’s.
Sarah refuses to take the bait but wants her to know that forcing herself on one man while making another one suffer is going to cost her dearly, and wanting the death of another person is the sign of a completely rotten person. Paloma’s phone rings. Sarah goes upstairs and Paloma follows. Dante makes up a story about how Luis is the one who came by while Marcos his youngest son is the one in the hospital. He says it is nothing serious just a stomach infection.
Juan says from what he remembered his children were studying abroad. Dante says yes they were but now they are back to finish their university studies here in Mexico. Juan smiles and apologizes for asking so many questions. He is just analytical. Dante says there is no problem and he is going with his son to see Marcos.
Aurora is on the go again with Pedro, asking her to stop so he doesn’t have to pursue her all over town. She reminds him that he is the one who is following her. If he wants to see her part of the refuge, he is going to have to treat her well. He agrees, saying that she was right in everything that she told him.
He admits that in fact he’s really just like her. Her nose and the shape of her face are just like his. Aurora admits that she løved him more than Juan from the time he was in her womb. She says Juan is like his father, while he on the other hand, he is like a lion who bites but will not swallow until he has gotten the very last piece. Pedro asks how she knows so much about them.
