Episode 3

Simon was at his usual pranks in the bush with Nora one of the maid romancing instead of studing. Abigail looked for him but saw Antonio studying instead. While in the bush the maid struggled free and ran away. Simon thought she was playing hide and seek and went in search of her. Seeing a young woman behind the tree, he thought she was Nora the maid so he jumped on her but it happened to be Angela that he jumped on. She reacted violently and held a knife to him. Simon pleaded with her but she was not pacified so he ran off to seek Antonio's intervention. Antonio in turn pleaded with Angela and she warned them to stay away from her and still reported the case to Abigail. Abigail was so furious that she hit Antonio. Antonio left the kitchen in anger and Angela followed to apologise. He accepted and they embraced.
Andre was invited for dinner to celebrate Pedro's marriage recently. The table was set so Nina was down and Vicky informed her that the guest was at the door. Thinking it was Andre at the door, she went to welcome and usher the him in. On opening the door, she met Azur the fond dog. She was terrified and started calling on the entire household to come to her aid. They did and she asked that the beast be taken away. Walter warned that Azur was a very intelligent and sensitive dog that does not like to be insulted. Azur welcomed her again by barking and Nina insisted on banishment but Angela defended Azur saying he is intuitively expressing himself because of strangers. Pedro asked Abigail why the dog was back and she said that the neighbours that had him over during the wedding had gone on holidays so they returned Azur.
Not willing to concede to the 'drama queen Nina, Pedro finally gave the final word that Azur was staying.
After dinner, Pedro entertained his guests with beautiful music and his mastery of the piano while the household watched. The beautiful music stopped when the pains came so he was helped upstairs by Walter the butler. Isabel went to familiarize herself with Azur but he barked at her. The dog saw through her deceit and dishonesty.
The awful nightmare again. Pedro was delirious throughout the night. He was really disturbed. The next morning, he was forced to rest a while. He called Nina and informed her that he would help her to settle her debt and warned against such frivolities again. Nina met Isabel and advised her to ensure the cheque was out before the old man kicked the bucket. Nina's tongue should be disinfected. She is such a vulgar and uncouth person. Pedro despite his illness and the doctor's advice, went out to see Gayetana. Isabel offered to go with him but he refused. Walter went him. He wanted to find out what was wrong with him.
Antonio and Angela getting closer and taking their friendship to another level.
