Fr Cristobal & Natalia in detention


Actually when Cristobal sees the photographs, he says this isn’t any kind of proof. Anybody could put something like this together. True, says the policeman. But there are also these photos. They show you two being awfully affectionate. Natalia flips through them and when they look, they were stunned.

Rufina that came back before the whole drama and was there during the arrest, takes a cup of tea to Carlota who is happily draped on a fainting couch happy with the turn of event. Rufina hears just at the door when Carlota says 'You fell right into my trap'. This is referring to Fr. Cristobal. Afterwards she switches to thinking and mumbling. Thank you Alfonso, for trying to kill me. Then aloud she says 'You’ll end up being mine in the end.
Rufina backs away from the door and does her own thinking: Help Cristobal. Macarena, wherever you are, help him!

Natalia wonders Who took the photos?. Cristobal says who cares? He tried to explain that Natalia and himself just have a great friendship. Natalia weeping swears on her dead husband and her daughter that there was never anything between her and Christobal.

When Romina calls Emiliano to inform about the arrest and for him to help her go to the police station, Romina is not happy. She wonders why whenever Paloma calls Emiliano abandons all to go to her and Emiliano tells her not to be like his mother, Diana. He tells her that Paloma isn’t the cause of their problems. Then Romina asks 'why do you go the minute she calls? Emiliano answers Because it’s important for me. And because whenever she needs me, I’ll be there. Besides, it has to do with Fr. Cristoabl. Great, says Romina, 'then I’m stuck here alone'. Emiliano leaves and tells her 'Don’t wait up'. He leaves. Afer this he called German. He told him to get right down to the police station that Cristobal needs a lawyer!
Emiliano helps Paloma escape through the balcony to go to the station.

Cristobal calls Fr. Benito and fills him in while Fr Mateo waited nearby. Padre B tells Chris to keep in touch and that he and Padre M will pray for him. It looks like Padre M has already started without being told “go.” Padre B hangs up and he and Padre M discuss everything and hope it resolves very quickly.
Luz who met Rafael briefly decides to be more than an acquittance. They spent time together walking the resort hotel’s grounds. In the evening, She asked him to look at all the stars and drag him out to the lawn and down onto the grass to lay on their backs to see the stars better. Rafael confesses he hasn't done this in years smiling. And why not? Says Luz. Rafael says it wasn’t the sort of thing Diana liked to do. 'I love the stars! Says Luz. She twines her fingers in Rafael's and ask if he knows what she is feeling 'you do know what I’m feeling, don’t you? I love feeling your skin. I like being next to you. Rafael says it’s magic.

The day they left home to go to meet the actor, Rufina was not happy but she can not do anything. They drove to Mexico City and Carlota sat nearby to watch Poor Paloma suffer the worst heartbreak and deceit. The happiness of seeing her so called father diminished immediately the guy starts talking and putting down Macarena. He said he did not belief he's Paloma's father because he was not the only man Macarena was seeing then. When Paloma says Macarena told her that he was in Love with her, he laughed and said it was in her imagination because he was not.  It was a terrible experience for Paloma. She was really hurt  especially when the man tells Paloma that Macarena had other boyfriends and doubts if she is his daughter. She left in anger and tears and told Carlota she never wants to see or hear from her 'father' again. Whew! Carlota was happy that it was money well spent.

When the coercion did not work, she invited Ines to come and hit her severally and she would show people that Orlando did it.  She needed the bruises to convince Rafael and her son not to abandon her and to also confirms her lies that Orlando is extremely dangerous.

Romina threatens abortion


 Romina confirms to Paloma that Emiliano is the father of the baby when Paloma visits her to verify the story of her pregnancy.
Carlota tells another lie to cover the lies she has been telling against Macarena that she was a loose woman. She tells Paloma that her father abandoned her when he found out that Macarena was pregnant and her father is alive.
German knows he is the father of the baby that Romina is expecting so he demands that she tells Emiliano that the baby is his but Romina refuses and threatens to expose him hat he abused her when she was a minor. German afraid to go to jail, leaves her but Liliana knows that German is the father of that baby and not Emiliano.
In desperation to see Paloma, Emiliano disguises as a nun to look for her at school. Since the revelation that Romina is pregnant with Emiliano's baby, Paloma has vows not to have anything to do with him. Emiliano has tried talking to her so when she refuses he has to disguise as a nun, Mother Superior catches them but leaves the matter to Cristobal to handle.  Cristobal convinces Paloma to hear Emiliano out and she listens and had a talk with him. They ends their quarrel and make up. Liliana tells Paloma of her suspicions about German being the father of Romina’s baby and she tells Emiliano also her suspicions.
After making up with Paloma, Emiliano has to go to assure Romina that he’ll assume responsibilities for his son but will never marry her. Romina threatens never to let him see the baby if he doesn’t marry her but Emiliano insists that he will never marry without love. Romina uses the only means she knows which is manipulation on Paloma. She tells her that she’ll have an abortion if Emiliano does not marry her because she does not want to be a single mom at her age. She tries to make Paloma feel guilty and it works. Paloma breaks up with Emiliano again. But depression sets in and Rufina knowing that mood reminds her of what Macarena told her before she died about relationships. Paloma remembers what Liliana tells her about Romina and German and she seeing them kiss so she rushes to see German to know the truth about Romina’s pregnancy. German refuses to admit anything to Paloma and asks her to leave. Romina on her part, tries to get Rafael to talk Emiliano into marrying her but he declines. Paloma seeks Fr. Cristobal and tells him about Romina decision. He advises her to tell Emiliano that Romina is planning to have an abortion.
Carlota continues her attack on Cristobal so she goes to talk to Natalia about him and her doubts about his Priesthood.
Emiliano goes to see German at his house and finds that he was not at home so he searches the place and finds Romina’s green blouse in his drawer. Emiliano goes to see Romina to confront her about the shirt she left at German’s place. He tells her he knows about her relationship with German but she denies
Carlota tells Paloma that Macarena lied to her and that her father is still alive. Carlota and Rufina refuse to tell her who her real father is.
Diana wants to know the woman whom Rafael is seeing and who he is leaving her for. 
Paloma when  visiting Natalie was surprised by the information she is getting about Cristobal knowing her family before now.
Romina desperate to tie Emiliano down asks for Carlota's help with the paternity test.  She wants the test to prove that Emiliano is the father since Emiliano has agreed to marry her if the result proves he is the father. After reproaching her, Carlota agrees to help because she wants Emiliano to leave Paloma by force. On the day of the test, Camila, Romina and Emiliano go to a clinic for the test. Carlota follows after and bribes one of the workers in the lab to change the result.
Father Mateo tells Cristobal that he will be transferred and that Father Benito will be coming to replace him.

Macarena's death

With the return of Cristobal, the evil juice in Carlota raised again. Macarena passed out in the Church when she saw Father Cristobal who was supposedly dead and was rushed to the Hospital. Dr Bermude, her doctor and boyfriend was shocked and sought to know what kind of excitement caused her to relapse but no one could say. Paloma has become close to Father Cristobal so she invited him to come see Macarena in the hospital.
Romina reports Angelica to Mother superior saying she is biased and using her  relationship with the students to get close to their family and therefore should be fired.  Romina is referring to the relationship between Angelica and her mother, Camila. When Angelica was confronted with the allegation, she did not deny it so Mother Superior fired her.
Rodolfo asks Macarena in the hospital when she's strong enough if she really has a daughter she gave away and if that child is Paloma and she confirms it by telling him everything about her life. Since she did not deny it, she and Rodolfo makes up.When everyone left the room, Father Cristobal went back into Macarena's room and they rekindled their romance. But Paloma did not know as she came in and met them talking. She was so oblivious of the undercurrent between the two lovers. Father Cristobal was really disturbed that Carlota lied to him and when he confronted her she said she did it for love. Macarena almost passed out when she learnt that Cristobal was a Reverend Father but said her love for him will not wane. She also said she will respect his new calling. With Macarena reconnecting with Cristobal after fainting at the clinic, rushed to the hospital and discharged, the stage for Battle royale between the two sisters was set.
Rodolfo then tells Cristobal that Carlota had told him a family secret they had been keeping for years. Funny that the secret Dr Bermudez is referring to has to do with Fr. Cristobal. With the arrival of Cristobal and the proposal of Dr Bermudez, Macarena plans to leave Real del Monte with Paloma.
Paloma and Macarena are not the only one leaving but on Emiliano's part, he is staying despite Diana’s request. At least he has to ensure, Paloma is okay. He talks to Paloma about Macarena and pleads with her to hear her out. Paloma agrees and forgives Macarena and calls her “mom.” But she says she would not want the people in the community to know that she is her mother so they have to still continue the 'Aunt/Niece relationship'.
Since Camila does not want any scandal, she advises Rafael to stay away from her until he is divorced from Diana. Rafael angry left but found out later that Camila and Orlando are together.
Carmen gives Macarena an envelope containing Iñaki’s letter investigating Paloma's inheritance. Inaki reveals in that letter that Paloma was left a fortune by her departed parent. Macarena left the letter inside Paloma's bag but she removed it and drop inside one of the drawers. Carlota not accepting the fact that Cristobal loves her sister, tried again to show her love to him but he rejects her again. He told her that even if she is the only woman, he would not love her. Carlota swears that she’ll make Cristobal pay for rejecting her.

But Father Cristobal could not stay away from Macarena as she requested. He went to meet his mentor to discuss the issue but came back and resolved to leave the Priesthood to marry Macarena, the love of his life. Macarena was overjoyed that night when they met in the garden under the moonlight and he proposed to her. She made him promise to take Paloma with them. With the Love of her life back in her life, Macarena boldly challenged Carlota.
Diana desperately tries to find an excuse not to go to Emiliano’s party so she went to eat a dish that will cause her allergy despite Ines advise. When it was time for the factory to be opened, Romina standing in for Diana cuts the ribbon against Emiliano’s will. Trust Romina not to let attention shift from her. Emiliano was angry with  Diana for sending Romina to take her place in the ribbon-cutting while Camila tells Rafael that they should stop thinking about the possibility of a relationship since he isn’t free.
Macarena remembers Cristobal’s proposal while Rodolfo tells her his plans after they get married. Carlota blackmails Macarena to stop seeing Cristobal or she will tell Paloma who her father is. Macarena dares her and informs her they will be leaving Real de Monte for good. She called Camilla who went to look for Romina in the city of Mexico but decided that she will tell her the news when she arrives from Mexico.
Romina feeling the break up of her relationship with Emiliano, felt she has to go look for her father Samuel. The lazy Samuel Montragon was ejected by his friend from his apartment. I wonder why the guy is always being cast for dubious roles. In RAFAELA, he was the bar owner who kidnapped Rafaela's sister for rejecting his love. In Mexico City, Romina was with German Altamirano to search for her father. Rufina advised that Father Cristobal be told that Paloma is his daughter but Macarena said no and made Rufina promised not to tell anyone. The following day, Father Cristobal was looking for a perfect time to tell Father Mateo that he is quitting Priesthood when he was called that disaster has happened.
That morning in her happiness, Macarena answered the phone call from Father Cristobal and Carlota listened in in another room to their plan for the future. She was furious and rush out when Macarena dropped the phone and attacked her. Macarena started running away from her when she saw her fury but she caught up with and push her down through the glass. It was Rufina  that came in and raised the alarm and Macarena was rushed to the hospital.

Paloma after INAKI's death

Arcadia was out of the Iparraguirre's House but still interested in what happens there.
Arcadia knew Carlota was up to no good with the purchase of that herbal tea so she monitors and waits. Meanwhile, Paloma helps Macarena to dress up for a date with Dr Rodolfo Bermudez. Since Carlota was not allowed to press charges against Iñaki for running away with a minor ie Paloma and demanded by Alonso to drop the charges, she has to ensure she keeps the lovers around so they do not run away again. She surprisingly gives them permission to get married. Orlando meets Camila coincidentally and instantly falls in love with her but she has becomes Rafael’s anonymous business partner. She now has two men that she is interested in and when she told Romina that she wants to rebuild her life by falling in love again she got angry. Romina refuses to accepts that she is grown now and does not need her mother to babysit her. She started looking for her father to stop Camila from starting a new relationship. She hired a detective. It was in the cause of the crisis between them and Carlota that Iñaki learns about Paloma’s inheritance and decides to investigate.
If he had known, he would have left investigating or done it discreetly. This investigation and his gut to make one of the Monteros happy, caused his death.

With the party done, the next day, Paloma’s parents leaves her with her Aunts to attend the wedding of Natalia and Cristobal in Mexico City. With Carlota's bad attitude towards her, Paloma was desperate to leave and go back home so she asks Sagrario to come pick her.

Paloma and Emiliano

When Emiliano came back from Europe and Romina was introduced to him, he liked her because she's fun to be with me. But the spoilt and manipulative teenager was not about to let him walk away especially when she notices that Paloma was interested in him too. Emiliano too loves Paloma but he keeps it to himself because of Inaki. Though he's not in love with Romina, Paloma refuses to accept his love overture because of her friend Romina and the promise they made to each other that a man will not cause their separation. After a while and with Macarena's support, Paloma accepted to be Emilianio's girlfriend.
This did not go down well with Carlota. I wonder why she loves wearing purple. I guess the type of discipline and traditional life style Carlota was brought up with forced her to live an austere life. But something is really wrong with her. Why would she insist on marrying Christobal even when he was wearing cassocks? She really had the town folks fooled with her pious upright attitude and generosity. She would do anything including murder to get what she wants and to conceals secrets. With blackmail, deceit and cruelty, she controls Macarena until she pushed her to her death. For Paloma, Carlota will make sure that she is not out of her control and dominion. To achieve this, she forges and prepares a new will which stipulates that Paloma can not come to her inheritance till 21 instead of immediately. Poor Carlota, she has lived a loveless and bitter life all her life so she ensures that no one from the Espinoza Monteros family is happy. She ensured that Macarena was ever so sickly and needing drugs. She adulterated drugs that she administered on her, With the big secret that Paloma is her daughter that she gave away and the quilt that her father died because of the pregnancy, she had Macarena on leach. When Macarena's health failed and she was rushed to the hospital, she destroyed all the adulterated drugs and started pretending that she cared. Even when her sister she was discharged and Camilla took her home, Carlota was angry and insisted that she is the sister and should be the one caring for her. Paloma though timid at times shows more resistance to Carlota's control than Macarena. This is why she started the relationship with Emiliano.

In the name of love- Paloma & Inaki

PALOMA after getting over the infatuation with Emiliano( she uses to watch him and Romina through the window of her house) fell in love with Inaki. She was encouraged to date the young Iparraguirre by her Aunt Macarena and their housekeeper Rufina. With the kind of loneliness and loveless life her Aunts lived, she vows to marry and even ran away from home with Inaki. Both (Paloma and Inaki) pledged undying love to one another in the Church. Their elopement was ended with the accident they had and were rushed to the hospital. Carlota made a fuss over it and threatened court case but since they had not slept together, the case could not stand. Carlota started paying Acadia, the maid in Inaki's home for information about his movement with that of Paloma. When Carlota realised that she cant stop them she pretended to accept their marriage and invited Inaki to their home for pre-wedding celebration. Inaki's father, Alonzo did not support the marriage so he did come. Meanwhile Carlota went to buy the herbal tea that kills if used excessively and Acadia saw her. But before now, Inaki had Carlota investigated and got to know that she was lying about Paloma's inheritance. Unfortunately he did not tell others close to him his findings but Carlota overheard him talking on the phone about it. That further made her to resolve to kill him before he exposes her. Thatnight of the dinner party, Carlota made sure that she served Inaki personally and made him to drink the poison she made and by morning he was dead. Paloma woke up and got dressed for her wedding to the love of her life. Macarena gave her the special necklace Christobal gave her as a present. But alas, Inaki did not make it. He died from the poisonous brew of Carlota. Paloma was devastated. When Acadia heard of Inaki's death, she knew immediately that Carlota killed him. She knew she did not like him. In her greed, she decided to blackmail Carlota and she was also killed by her the night she went to collect the money. Inaki was confirmed dead of heart attack and Carlota convinced Carmen, the mother to have him buried without autopsy. Alonzo became inconsolable and blamed Paloma for his son's death. Paloma in her devastation and bewilderment, vow never to love again but Emiliano will not let her be since he's broken off with Romina.
On Paloma's side, is Aaron, Ines' Nephew. He was infatuated with Paloma and with her Fiance's death, started visiting to console and be close to her. Paloma appreciative of his friendship, allowed him to be close to her. Carlota seems okay with the relationship and encouraged it but Paloma was not interested in Aaron as a lover but just a friend. When Emiliano saw competition and despite Carlota hatred, lay claim to Paloma and they started going out secretly. But the manipulative and spoilt Romina who always get what she wants was not ready to let Emiliano go. She teamed up with Aaron to ensure that Paloma and Emiliano are not together. With the death of Inaki, Carlota stole the wedding ring and headed to Mexico City to reproduce a fake one. All of her intention is always to ensure that Macarena and Paloma stay under her domination financially and morally. At Mexico, she stayed in the same Hotel with Alonzo. Alonzo was back to work but decided to console himself with his Secretary. They went on a romantic tour outside the office and lodged in the same hotel with Alonzo. Alonzo sighted Carlota and harassed and accused her for killing his son. As usual, Carlota accused him of abandonment and not being there for his son during the last days of his life.

In the Name of Love / En nombre del Amor

“The Name of Love” is a Mexican telenovela which highlights values and traditions of the country and how it affects the lives of the people, their feelings, emotions and motives. The story involves two sisters,
Macarena Espinoza de los Monteros
and Carlota Espinoza de los Monteros who both fell in love with the same man. Unfortunately for Carlota, the man only has eyes for Macarena.
The man is Father Cristobal Gamboa acted by Arturo Peniche. He fell in love with Macarena but Carlota the sister would not allow the lovers to be. She plotted the separation by lying to him that Macarena was dead. And to Macarena, Carlota told her Christobal was dead too. When their father died, she blamed her for his dead. Since she dominates and controls her, she forced Macaren to give up her daughter to “protect the family name” when it was found out that she was pregnant with Christobal's child and unmarried. Christobal felt guilty and turned to Alcohol to relieve the pains and agony of losing the love of his life. Afterwards, he met Natalie but could not go through with the marriage because of his undying love for Macarena so he stood her up at the altar. But later he made peace with God and himself. He dedicated his life to God and was ordained a Catholic Priest. Now a priest, he returns to Bernal after 20 years, only to discover that he was lied to by Carlota. Macarena was alive and single. Although Dr. Bemuda has proposed to Macarena, she has not accepted to marry him. Carlota saw Christobal first when she went for confession. She hurriedly ran out of the confession booth.
