Eugenio takes over as Cristobal' s Lawyer

Paloma hears and witnesses Anamar, running up to give Emiliano a hug. She's in Mexico to visit him. He's happy to see her too. She can't believe that she let him go. Paloma hides from their view and spies on them. Emiliano accompanies Anamar to check in at her hotel. He then invites her out to eat.
Eugenio is talking on the phone with Madeleine and she suggests he talks to the priests Benito and Mateo. He agrees.

Carlota tells Rufina how unhappy she is with her and how she always preferred Macarena to her. Rufina tells her it was wrong to lie to Macarena about Cristobal's death and even Paloma's real dad. Carlota says it was all for a good reason.

Rafael goes home and Luz takes him into the bedroom to show him Xochi who is sleeping. He is not happy with Luz and tells her its a crime to steal a child. Luz defends herself but Rafael tells her its wrong to be impulsive when others are concerned and she needs to start thinking first before doing anything. He tells her the child cant stay and Luz replies that if Xochi can't stay then neither will she. Rafael tries to reason with her that he just wants things to be done right. Luz finally agrees.

From Camila's office, Orlando walks to his office thinking to himself how he can convince her to move away with him to the US. Not only would it be good for business, but also for their relationship. Angelica sees the look on his face and asks if everything is okay and he says fine. He asked if she has heard from Dario and she said no. He tells her that he's contacted an attorney for her and has paid for 3 visits. And if more is needed he'll take care of it. He said that Dario must pay for what he did to her. Paloma comes in to speak with Angelica about seeing Emiliano with another woman. Angelica tells her not to let her jealousy makes her see things that are not true. Paloma is surprised that she is jealous and wonders if that is the same feelings Emiliano gets every time he sees her with Gabriel.  She admits that its a horrible feeling.

Romina visits Camila and tells her she is bored. When she's told her baby will soon be with her, she says 2 nurses will attend to him as she wants to dedicate her time to her husband, Emiliano. She even rejects working with Camila. She leaves there to the church to visit Gabriel. She wants to know if he can give her Art classes. All the while she is getting closer to him and openly flirting but he turns away and says that there are things that money can't buy. And painting is one of them. 'Can't you show me' asks Romina. German walks by and spots Romina and Gabriel talking. He goes up to them and says to Romina that he can't believe she's in the church. They both left the church. German accuses her of flirting with Gabriel but she denies and calls him an idiot. She says she only has eyes for her husband. German doesn't believe her because he knows her too well. He then grabs her and kisses her in the broad daylight on the streets. She tries to push away, but ends up kissing him back.

Paloma tells herself that it's best that she forget about Emiliano although she still day dream about him. Gabriel interrupts her daydreaming and invites her out to eat. She agreed and they both left for a restaurant.

Eugenio meets with Fr. Mateo and asks if he thinks that Carlota bought off German. He says its possible because that woman is like the devil. He told him how they have witnessed her lies especially when she accosted Cristobal. Eugenio says accosted? Sexually? "Yes" says Fr. Mateo, "One day she tried to get into Cristobal's bed here". Eugenio is shocked. The Priest pleaded with him to take over from German because he might have been compromised by Carlota.

Emiliano and Anamar are at a restaurant catching up on what's been going on in their lives. Paloma and Gabriel walk into the same restaurant and Emiliano spots her and calls out her name. He comes over with Anamar and introduces her to Paloma. Then goes back to their table. Gabriel asks if she wants to go, and she said no. Gabriel asks if she wants to talk about it. She tells him that she saw them at the park today hugging. Paloma asks if he has ever felt jealous before. He says he thought he was immune until he met a woman that made him finally feel it.  'I never thought I would feel it' replies Paloma. Emiliano and Paloma stare at each other.

Carlota goes to the church but Fr. Benito tells her that she is no longer welcomed in the church until she has confessed all her sins. Carlota says he has no right to stop her from the church or the communion but the Father says he has every Right as he is God's representative on earth and a witness to Carlota's lies and deception. Carlota vows to complain to his superiors and left. .  As she storms out, she runs into Eugenio. She is surprised to see him in the church. Eugenio says no one is aware of what people are or what they can do which Carlota agrees. She went ahead to badmouth Fr. Cristobal which made Eugenio to ask if she has found him guilty before the judgement. She began to feel uncomfortable and excuse herself.

Emiliano tells Anamar that the girl is Paloma. The love of his life. Anamar tells him that it looks like Paloma is trying to make a new life with Gabriel and trying to forget him. She also tells him that he married someone he didn't love and he can be free since the baby is born. She advised him to start the divorce process immediately and the law will protect him.

German is doing business at the same restaurant where Emiliano is. He calls Romina and tells her that Emiliano is at the restaurant with a very good looking woman and Romina leaves home  immediately for the restaurant but Emiliano has left.

While Eugenio decides to take over the case Carlota is in her office recalling his words to her and feeling uncomfortable.

To legalize the adoption, Luz was advised to go see Leticia Lopez in Pachuca. Eugenio frowns at her impulsive attitude and while she leaves to fetch Xochitl, Rafael thanks Eugenio for his help with the exports of the ceramic and the little girl. 

In Court
 At the trial, the prosecutor calls Cristobal to the stand and asks about Macarena and he admits proposing to her and was ready to leave priesthood for her. When the lawyer asks if he had a romantic relationship with her, Cris gets mad and yells no, no and the court room went up in uproar.  When the drama was becoming too much, the Judge says 'okay, that’s enough for today and the court will reconvene tomorrow.'

Paloma added her own drama by accusing Chris Macarena of deceiving her. Cris tries to explain that they had reasons for keeping the relationship a secret but Paloma would not listen.   Afterwards, Cris tells German that Eugenio is taking over as his lawyer.

Luz and Rafael with Xochitl are with social worker.  She explains that they have to do a physical and psychological evaluation first, then they can discuss what will happen with Xochi.Although the evaluation shows that the little girl has been physically abused and was to be kept for observation but the social worker made an exception and allowed them to take her home for few days.

Angelica is awakened late at night by Miriam, who’s crying and upset. She tells her that Dario found her and threatened her if they continue with the case of exposing him as a fraud. She says she cant go back to Mexico City. Angelica calms her and tells her she can stay with her as long as she wants and offers to talk to Orlando for a job placement.

Madeleine is happy that Eugenio has taken Cris’s case. When Gabriel tells him that Macarena was Paloma's mum, Eugenio gets very excited saying that could be the motive for Carlota wanting to ruin Cris for choosing her sister instead of her.  He believes Carlota is dangerous and is capable of manipulating both the defense and prosecution.

Here comes Anamar!




With the trial adjourned to the next day, everyone left and Rufina and Doc Bermúdez discussed Carlota's testimony and still think something is not right with Javier’s will.
Orlando drops in and reports the day’s trial proceedings to  Emiliano who is surprised to hear that Paloma will inherit a fortune. He asks if the baby's name has been registered and Emiliano says not till the baby is discharged from the hospital.

The father accosted Germán as he struts out of the courthouse and tell him Carlota is lying about her relationship with Fr. Cristóbal but German does not want to listen He tells them what there are saying has nothing to do with the trial, and he is the lawyer and knows best. Madeleine too is very worried that it might be too late to help Cris but Eugenio reassures her that it would not.

Angélica and Miriam discuss Dario's charms and how they were victims and how Orlando came just at the right time to help them before the situation turned very ugly. Angelica then let her feelings show that Orlando does not love her the way she loves him. Miriam then asked  "Are you in love with Orlando?!” and she responded " Yeah, I can’t believe it either..." .Any way she will soon leave for Mexico City and not be disturbed by Orlando's rejection and love for another woman.

In the Hospital, the Doctor tells them that the baby is going to be discharged and Romina wants to hire the 2 nurses recommended by the doctor. Eventually, they agreed  to name the baby Bernardo after Camila’s father.

When Carlota accused her of betrayal, Rufina says she only relates what she was told that Javier’s house was mortgaged  and he had debts and no money during their meetings and nothing else. Carlota lied again that she had to do this to keep the secret. Paloma too is angry that all this is not making sense because she made her to suffer and made her and Macarena look like charity cases to  everyone when in actual fact, Paloma’s money have been supporting them all.
Paloma left for the hospital and while visiting, Romina came in and started gushing about her perfect family and how she wishes Paloma will find a man who will make her happy.  

Luz sees Little Xochitln, and how the man exploiting her, scolds her, pushes her into the car and drives away.  Luz runs after the car hitting it with her purse. She then follows the car to the shack that the child abuser is staying and sees Xochitln runs inside and cowers on her bed. She sees the man drinking and getting drunk.  Luz waited patiently until the man passes out. She sneaks in and rushes Xochi out to her car. The Drunken man wakes and stumbles after them, yelling “she’s mine!”
Luz drives off and when she got home called Rafael immediately to come home.

Natalia too is surprised by Carlota's testimony and the details of the will. She tells Ivonne that the will is absurd but she still thinks she caused  Alonso’s deat but Ivonne still thinks it  was an accident. Natalia says maybe, but what was he doing in Pachuca, something or somebody lured him there for what?  Ivonne gets  a letter and the photo to give to little Sagrario and was encouraged to adopt her. 

Back in jail, Cris is sure Carlota has bought  German, but he’s going to give him another chance to redeem himself.

 Dario assaults Miriam in a parking lot back in the city and threatens that she and Angelica are going to pay for daring him .
  
Orlando is discussing the turn of event in the court with Angélica and Emiliano and they all agreed that German is making a mess of the case and another lawyer must be contacted if Chris is to be freed. Meanwhile German  is visiting Carlota at home, claiming he came to see Paloma to let her know that he will take her to visit Cris the next day but Carlota says no.

Orlando brings Camila an orchid, because he thinks of her all the time. He has settle for a shorter honeymoon and after they will move to the U.S. Camila says no that Business,  Daughter, Grandson and  Home would not let her. Orlando is really shocked at her reaction.

Ivonne leaves Natalia and goes to Doc Bermuda’s office, crying about her talk with Natalia. The Doc consoled her but thinks the case may be hopeless. She gives him the letter and photo .

While at the Park sketching, Paloma sits across  Emiliano but they did not see.  Suddenly, a young woman  gets out of a taxi and calls to him. Emiliano looks up and sees her and calls out “Anamar!” . They smile and hug tightly while Paloma watches across jealous.

Carlota's Testimony

Eugenio tells Gabriel he went to see Carlota out of curiosity and what he saw was a woman full of conflict. Gabriel thinks she’s mean and wants him to be careful since she is suspected of killing Inaki. While still talking, Gabriel suddenly staggers, clutches his stomach and collapses. Eugenio opens the drawer and takes the drugs which he pops into Gabriel’s mouth and holds him till he came around

Paloma is weeping at Macarena’s grave and wondering why she didn’t tell her about her father, Fr Cristobal and a lot more. She laments that she is so alone and unlucky in love.

Angelica is home with Miriam and they are teaming together to unmask Dario. When Dario starts lying about loving her and wanting them to be true to each other, Mariam struts in and says that makes the three of us. Dario is startled as the two women attacked him verbally so he shoved Angelica away and then Orlando walks in. He calls Dario a scumbag and a fraud and gave him one week to give Angelica back her book or be arrested. Angelica sinks into the couch and thank Orlando. He then kneels and takes her hand to comforts her and Miriam looks on a bit sad.

Samuel lazing around in his hotel room has a visitor and its Diana. He quickly puts off his cigarette, and cleared the room before answering the door. Diana brought the mortgage document saying it’s all ready for signature.

Orlando comes into Camila’s shop and greets her by calling her The future Mrs Ferrer. She smiles and tells him the invitations cards are ready and he presents their honeymoon trip plans. When she realised its for two months, she flipped. She says she cant leave Romina alone for that long.

Carlota is furious about having to go to the trial and blames it on Macarena. But Paloma defends Macarena and tells her its the murder of Alonso that is being investigated.

In the Courtroom
Back in the courtroom, everyone is waiting and there comes Carlota on the arm of German followed by Paloma and Rufina,

Carlota is called to the witness stand. German asks her how she responds to Natalia’s story that Alonso thought she had something to do with Inaki’s death. Carlota responds smilingly that she is innocent. When asked about the inheritance left to Paloma by Javier, she said yes there is an inheritance and she knew about it. Paloma is shocked and the crowd grumbles. After the judge pounds his gavel for silence, German continues the questioning by asking why she kept the inheritance a secret and Carlota lied that that was what her brother requested in the will. She says Paloma is not supposed to find out about the inheritance until she turns 21. 

She hands over a copy of the will to German, who collects and hands it to the judge. The Judge looks through and asks German to read it aloud to all. He then reads that Paloma is not to be told of her inheritance of a small fortune until she turns 21 because they didn't want people to take advantage of her. For that reason, her guardian was not to tell her until then. Paloma’s could not believe what shes hearing while Carlota seems satisfied and the crowd reacts. Carlota continues her testimony by blaming Christobal, Natalia, Dr Bermudez, Rufina and even Inaki’s father Alonso of false accusation.

Rafael goes to warn Diana about Samuel but she thinks he is jealous. Even the warning that Samuel has a very bad reputation did not sway Diana who says she can take care of herself. Meanwhile in the hotel room, Samuel is happily packing. He is so excited about the loan document that Diana has signed. He holds the manila envelope and kisses it.

When German is satisfied that the testimony has put Carlota in the clear of any wrongdoing, he tells the judge he’s done.

The prosecutor takes his turn to ask some questions. He asks why Alonso suspected her of killing Inaki. German protests that Carlota isn’t on trial but the prosecutor says now she is. Carlota happy to continue her lies, says that she did not approve of the relationship with Inaki as he was a struggling poor musician who wanted to take advantage of Paloma.  But after checking him out, she discovered that he was a good person, and she gave her consent even though Paloma was a minor. Cordero asks if the family agreed. Carlota says Carmen, his mother did, but his father Alonso was against it, and even insulted Paloma at the funeral.

When Cordero asked Why was the Insult? Carlota says Alonso felt Inaki was throwing away his future by marrying Paloma and when he died, he felt quilt at not being a good father.  She said Alonso apparently held her responsible for Inaki’s death despite the Doctors report of heart attack as the cause of death.

Madeleine is shocked at the turn of events and pleads with Eugenio to take over so that Cris innocense can be proven.

When asked about her relationship with Chris, Carlota lied again that she didn’t really know him well. But knows he wanted to run away and elope with Macarena. When asked about the relationship when he returned to Real del Monte as a priest, she said she respected him. 

The judge adjourns for the day and Carlota felt happy at  nailing the coffin on Chris. Paloma steps forward and confronts her and she says she was just following my orders. 
She left claiming she needs fresh air. Back in her office, Carlota says to herself I’m a genius.

Paloma's Inheritance Revealed



Rafael notices that Camila is sad but she corrected that its not about the wedding but about Romina finally finding out about her treacherous father. She tells him about Diana and Samuel and Rafael is surprised.


Back to the courtroom

German started his defense by calling Natalia to the witness stand. German first question to Natalia is why she didn't marry Cristobal when they were supposed to. Natalia tells how it wasn't meant for them to be together and Cristobal was not with the church then. German then brings up the constant visits of Cristobal to her house. Natalia confirms this. Eugenio and Madeline are far back watching the proceedings.

German leaves and the prosecutor takes his turn. The crowd is growing restless and the Judge quiets them.

Prosecutor wants to know why Cristobal visit her in her house alone and Natalia tells them about Paloma's inheritance they were investigating. She explains that Dr. Bermudez, Alonzo and Rufina are part of the team. German jumps up in protest and objects to this line of questioning but the judge over rules him and asked the prosecutor to carry on. Natalia tells the audience about Inaki and how he was going to marry Paloma but he died before the wedding. She explains how Inaki suspected Carlota and the inheritance Paloma was supposed to receive from Sagario and Javier. So when he died, they continued to meet and Alonzo after accepting the son's death and coming to know Paloma better joins.

There was uproar in the courthouse and the Judge angrily pounds his gavel demanding silence. The prosecutor surprised by this revelation, asked the judge for justice sake to invite Carlota for questioning. Paloma jumps up in shock too. The judge over rules German arguement and agrees with the Prosecutor that Carlota be invited for questioning the next day. German sits for a moment in shock even when the court was over while Paloma was questioning why her Aunt should be invited.Shes upset but remembers her conversation with Romina after Inaki's death where Romina suspected Carlota of killing Inaki. Gabriel asks if she suspected any foul play and she said no. At this point, Emiliano comes up to speak to her about Inaki and Paloma wonders why he or anybody never told her anything.

Camila and Romina went to see the baby and holding him for the first time, she's overwhelmed with emotion and cried. She tells Camila how small he is but Camila says yes he is precious. When the nurse tells them how Emiliano and Paloma visits have helped the baby, Romina is jealous.

Rafael and Luz talking about the little girl but Rafael warns her it will be very difficult to locate the girl in the big town. Rafael secretary, Cynthia comes in and sees the picture so she tells them how the girl and other kids are victims of of people who exploit them and use them for street begging. Luz can't believe this and vowing to help the little girl, pleads with Rafael to help her in locating the girl. Joel comes in carrying Monica's son and Luz tries playing with the child.

Back to the court room Fr. Benito is on the stand and he tells the court how Cristobal helps people to overcome their drug or alcohol addictions. Cristobal's mother smiles proudly at hearing this and German asks why anyone would accuse a man like that of murder.
The prosecutor asks about the state Cris was in when he first meets him. Fr Benito flashback to when he found Cris drunk and how he encouraged hm to stop drinking. when pressed to speak more on Cris personal life, Fr Benito declined and said only Cris can answer that as he will not break his vow to keep someone's confessions a secret.

Eugenio visits Carlota and tells he is starting an investigation. She looks at Eugenio nervously while he studies her reaction. He then leaves. Paloma walks into the gloomy living room and is verbally attacked by Carlota. The phone rings and Rufina answers and its German who calls to tell her that the judge orders for her presence the next day. Carlota says she is not coming and German says its by force. Carlota drops the telephone and turn to Rufina and Paloma asking if they knew about her being called to court. Rufina says yes as it was made public. Rufina asks tauntingly if she needs anything and she says  no and walks away.

Rufi then turns to Paloma and she too says she does not need anything from her as she kept the inheritance investigation a secret. When Rufi sees how upset she's with her, she pleads for forgiveness. She says they needed to get proof before telling her and its not about trusting her but the only practical thing to do under the circumstance. Paloma accepts and forgives her.

Paloma gets angry that Emiliano is still carrying on as if she is his property and he has the right to decide for her so Gabriel leaves and goes outside to wait for them. After lambasting Emiliano, Paloma leaves with Gabriel for the cart race and Lilian has to console Emiliano.

German and Romina run into each other on the street and he tells her they should get back together because things are looking up for him. She starts to walk off and he grabs and kisses her. While still kissing Romina, he sees Carlota walking by so he pulls away and leaves. Romina does not like being rejected so she accuses him for being a coward.

Eugenio finds out that Madeleine Martelli called so he calls her up. They have been friends for years and its been awhile since they last talked. When he tells her that he’s in Real del Monte, she says me too and asks that they meet right away.

Carlota gets to the church dispensary where Ines and another church lady are working and she starts running down Fr Cristobal. The women were shocked at what she was saying.

Romina cries to Camila that Samuel, her father has robbed her, his daughter. She wants to confront him ad wants Camila to go with her and she agrees. They confront Samuel in the hotel lobby and by the time they were through with him, he's dazed.

At the hospital, Emiliano is with the baby and the doctor tells him that she’s happy with the baby’s development and that he’s responding well to treatment.

Angelica invites Miriam so that together they can expose Dario as a fraud. She wants Dario to know that plagiarism is bad and he should respect other writers. Orlando is so proud of her for standing up against Dario and fighting for her right.

Madeleine tells Eugenio she’s worried about Cristobal, because he’s her son. Eugenio is surprised and she explains that she had him before she met her husband. She believes Cristobal is innocent and German is not experienced enough to handle the case. She is ready to stake her fortune to prove that her son is innocent and would want him to take over the case. Eugenio cautions her that he hasn’t practiced in years, but she’s certain that if his son was in this situation he’d do the impossible to save him. She begs him to defend Cristobal and he agrees. But Madeline asked him not to tell Cristobal.

Cristobal tells German that he’s worried about Paloma and wants to see her so he can tell her everything about his relationship with Macarena.

Back at the shop, Romina asks for forgiveness from Camila saying “I was so unfair with you. You’ve been the best mom in the world. You’re always going to be with me? You’re never going to leave me, right?”. Camila promises they are always going to be together especially with little Sammy to unite them.
From Camila's shop, Romina goes crying to Emiliano’s office to tell him about Sam robbing her. He reminds her about her mom's love. But she is worried that the men in her life do not love her, her father and Emiliano. He tries consoling her but takes advantage of the moment to kiss him. Emiliano's phone rings so he breaks off the kiss and apologise but Romina says this kiss could be a new start for them. Emiliano looks very uncomfortable and tells her once again he does not love her. Outside, Romina lets Angelica know she is not happy with her ruining her opportunity with Emiliano and their kiss.

The Kiss for  Settlement or Manipulation?
In the prison yard, the troublemaker prisoners attack Cris again and Chucho goes to help. The guards break it up and tell Cris to go see his visitor, whether he wants to or not.

Licenciado Cordero gets an envelop marked “Confidential” and “Regarding the Case of Fr. Cristóbal” he did not open it but  puts it aside to go through later. 

After the fight with Eric, Germán leaves to see Carlota at home. He interrogates Rufina about the family and value of the Mansion. Rufina hates him and wishes she can knock him out with a poisonous coffee but Carlota shows up so Rufina leaves.

Carlota tells German to destroy Cris but he wants to win the case in order to have prestige. Carlota tells him to forget that as he can gain prestige in other cases and she will pay him well. She tells him to find someone who will testify that he witnessed Alonso being run over by the truck and German in shock asked “How do you know he was run over by a truck?” Carlota says she heard from someone in the Town that it was a truck that ran over Alonso. German pretends to accept that.

She makes him sit down in front of her, and tells him to court Paloma. German is surprised considering how strict Carlota is with her niece. She proceeded to kiss him passionately and German responded too. (What a bunch. The two of them are sickos)

Paloma goes to show Gabriel the painting she’s been working on. He says it is amazing and tells her his coming to Real del Monte is not in vain as she is exactly what he’s been looking for. But Paloma did not understand him especially when he said "everything I have will be yours.” Just then Emiliano calls  to invite her to the hospital to visit  the baby. Gabriel is jealous.
Angélica hears when Emiliano called Paloma to come to the hospital with him but she is not happy at their closeness. Agreed the baby needs affection to thrive but it is not good for Emiliano and Paloma. He needs to leave her alone to avoid temptation and let her move on with her life.

One of Diana’s poker friends, also a friend of Camila, goes to her  shop and to confess to her that she is in big trouble, having lost a lot of money playing poker with Samuel.  Camila is shocked to hear that Samuel and Diana are still together after she had warned her. She and Mónica ahope the news about Samuel and Diana is not true. 

Carlota and German are still kissing in the study and his jacket is off and his shirt unbuttoned. But she got carried away and started asking if  Cristóbal loves her and then German stopped. Carlota too came back to her senses and drove German out.  She takes out her anger on the furniture, smashing everything and Rufina becomes alarmed. Afterwards, she stomps out and up the stairs. Rufina rushes into the office and is shocked at the sight.  “Carlota and Germán?!

In prison, Cris is telling  Orlando he wants to find a way to make Carlota confess to all the crimes shes committed but Orlando says everything will work out in the trial. He was given a letter to give to Natalia so he advises Cris to think seriously about starting a family since he is no longer a priest and Macarena is dead.

Paloma finishes the sketch she’s been working on and wants Gabriel to look at it but he says “Great; see you next class,” wthout looking at it. Paloma is worried at his attitude insisting he tell her what the matter is but he just walked away saying  “It’s not you, it’s me.”

Romina calls the furniture store for the delivery of her baby's furniture but is shocked when she is told no record of her order. 

Liliana finds Eric on the street and tells him she’s missed him terribly and wants to get back together. He says he loves her, but she doesn’t really love him. She says she does. He says unless she is absolutely sure, she should stay away from him. Liliana weeps.

Luz lets herself into Gabriel’s place and looks around. She sees the  sketch of a girl with bangs and braids and falls in love with it. she takes it and leaves that she has taken it..Meanwhile, Gabriel is out in the park.

Gabriel asks about her baby and when she started playing a bitch, Gabriel leaves. 

AT home, Paloma helps Rufina in the kitchen and she mentioned Paloma's father and she was upset and warned her never to mention that man again.   To distract, Rufina tells her about Carlota and Germán and how they locked themselves in the office for hours. How later German left in a hurry and Carlota was mad. Rufina thinks she would not come for Cris's trial and Carlota walks in saying yes and no one in the house should go too. But Paloma disagrees and Carlota warns that she’s going to hear some very ugly things about Cris and Natalia.

Germán visits Dr. Bermúdez and he tells him that himself and Emiliano doubt the baby’s paternity. Germán says they already did a test but Dr Bermudez says things just don’t add up and he wants to do another test. German refuses. 

Gabriel's dad visits and could sense something is wrong. Gabriel says he wants to finish up his work and skip town as soon as possible, because he is in love with Paloma. Eugenio is thrilled about that but Gabriel is not.  Eugenio says finding love is a blessing and he should just go with it. 

Chava gives Emiliano gifts for the baby, a tiny pair of soccer shoes and a little soccer ball as he goes to support Fr. Cris for all hes done for him. He hopes to help Emiliano's son someday too.

Orlando gives Natalia the letter from Cris. The letter simply aplogises for the mess and encourages her to have faith that God will soon intervenes and freedom will come to her.

At the hospital, Paloma is admiring the baby when Emiliano shows up with his friend Alejandro. The friend plays the recorder therapeutically for the baby and he seems to enjoy it. Paloma tells Emiliano he’s a super good dad and he tells her she’ll be a great mom someday. 

Germán fetches Cris for the trial. Cris hopes the facts will come to light and they will be vindicated.

Orlando tries to reassure Natalia that everything will work out. Natalia asks him to get Ivonne to come to see her.

Paloma is at the hospital visiting the baby. Emiliano comes with Alejandro who plays the flute for the baby as recommended. Emiliano tells Paloma that babies react well when music is playing. Paloma tells him he would be a great dad and he regrets that she would be a great mum too considering the love she is showing the baby but it will be with another man not him.   
 Madeleine, drops off a box at the church that explains Fr. Cristobal's past. She explained why she left him in the first place to Fr Mateo.  She says though she was born here, most of her family lived in France. She spent a lot of time there studying dance. It was on one of her vacations in Mexico that she met Cristobal's dad. When she got pregnant, she had to have the baby but realised her career was important then so she had to leave him with his dad. Fr. Benito asks her if she knew that Cristobal's dad was an alcoholic and died of liver disease. She admits that she knew because she was always reading the Mexican papers with the hope of getting information about her son.

Camila goes to see Diana to warn her about Samuel. Diana does not want to listen. Camila leaves but is happy she tried warning her. She goes wedding dress shopping.



Cristobal and Natalia are being taken to the courthouse for the trial and the crowd is yelling outside.
 Inside the Court room are friends and family. The judge asks for their plea and both plead not guilty. The prosecutor calls Fr. Cristobal to the stand and interrogated him as follows . 
Pro: Is it true that 9 years ago you were engaged to be married to Natalia?
Cris: Yes
Pro: Then why did you decide not to marry her?
Cris: I didn't feel right taking the next step with her. I realized I did not love her the way she should have been loved.
Pro: Also because you felt guilty over a suicide.
P: Is it or isn't it true that you told Natalia you were feeling guilty over a death?
Cris: An emotional death. I believed that a woman had committed suicide because of me. For many years I felt guilty until I found out that it was a lie and she was still alive.
Pro: And who was that person?
Cris: I don't think it's really necessary for me to mention that person's name in this hearing. That person is now dead.
Pro: It is really important for you to tell us the name of that person.
Cris: That person was Macarena Espinosa de los Monteros. And the person who made me believe that she was dead for all those years was her sister, Carlota Espinosa de los Monteros.
Pro: Is it or isn't it true that you were going to leave Real de Monte with Macarena?
Cris: Yes. Macarena and I were going to leave to get married. Her family would not accept me. We both loved each other very much.

At this point Paloma becomes shocked. Rufina seeing what was going on tells Paloma that it is probably best they leave but Paloma refuses. She tells her she is finding out things that no one wanted to tell her. It's time to know the whole truth.

Carlota at home wishes she was at the trial. She wants everything to come out the way way she had planned.

Luz is walking around, buys an ice cream and buys one for a little girl. She asks the little girl what her name is. The mother of the little girl shows up and scowls her for talking to strangers.

After the day's proceeding, Paloma asks Rufina if she knew this. Rufina couldnt answer. Dr. Bermudez asks Rufina came if Cris was the man that Macarena talked about but replied that she should not be asked any questions. Outside, Paloma is crying. Emiliano comes to consoles as she seems confused. Emiliano says she should not have come but she says No, it' best she did. Gabriel walks Paloma home.

Rafael gets a call from a European company interested in his ceramics. He tells Luz the good news and wanted them to celebrate but she wants Rafael to help her find the little girl claiming she feels something special for the girl.

German asked Cristobal why he never told him about his relationship with Macarena. With all that secret coming out, his case is complicated.

Carlota wants to know what happened at the trial and when Paloma asks why she never told her that Cris and Macarena were in love, she says it was a delicate situation. But Paloma is thinking probably, Cris could be her father. Carloca seize the opportunity to continue lying that Macarena was already pregnant with her when she met Cris. She said Macarena was going to make Cris believe the pregnancy was his. Carlota said she told Macarena not to lie so their hatred started from then. She begged Paloma to Forgive her for not telling her the whole truth before. Paloma did and they hugged.

Romina crying because the furniture company tells her no order was received from her father. Emiliano comes home and she tells him that the father cashed the Cheque but never bought the baby furniture. Emiliano comforts her.

Dr. Bermudez was surprised about Cris being the love of Macarena's life. Ivonne says that when they were in love, he was not yet a priest. Dr. Bermudez says that Macarena confided in him that the man she loved had died but when Cris came to Real de Monte she never told him that he was. He thinks Cris may be Paloma's father but He vows to still protect Paloma like he promised Macarena.

Now Carlota is happy that her plans work and everyone will think bad about Macarena

Fr. Cristobal enters the visiting room and saw an elderly woman who shows him half of the photograph and tells him she is his mother.

He asks if it is a joke but the woman says no claiming shes been wanting to see him again forever. She went on to say being in the prison may have wrecked his life, but it is what made her to find him and he is her only child.

Cristobal insist he is an orphan right from a tender age and stands up but madam Madeleine tells him that she lives in Paris, but was born in Mexico. That his photo in the papers and his name made her abandon all to come back to Mexico. Cristobal apologise for the trouble but says she is wasting her time as he has no mother and she should go back to where she came from. Madeleine intends to leave a box at the priest’s residence that has family papers and photos so Cristobal can go through and find out about his mother and his family. She pleaded with him to reconsider then she dropped her hotel address and informed him she is staying through the trial's period. When he was leaving, she takes his hand, kisses it and leans her cheek into it. Cristobal gives her a perfunctory blessing and leaves.


Diana and Inez are having lunch at the café and Inez asks her to be her maid of honor. Diana agrees and hopes Samuel will propose to her too. 

Joel walks in carrying Monica's child in his arms with Monica right behind. Diana sees them and mocked so Monica quickly took the baby from him while he confronts Diana about the boy and hopes her grandson recovers fast. Diana is shocked and Joel too that she didn't know. Diana thinks he is lying but when Joel insists she left hurriedly.

Carlota is happy the case of Chris and Natalie is coming up and German will be their lawyer. The prosecutor will be Lic. Cordero and since she knows him  she is going to tell him all the secrets about Cristobal.

 Nurses are trying to make Romina wear the sterile outfit to go be with her baby while Em watches through a door window. Romina is giving several reasons not to go but Emiliano does. The nurse encourages Emiliano to touch the baby and he did while Romina watches through an observation window beaming.

At the intensive Unit, Paloma, gift in hand, is looking through the big observation window at the baby and waving to him when Emiliano arrives. Paloma agrees to wear the sterile suit to go rub the baby down and sing some lullaby for the baby. Later Paloma says she doesn’t want to make Romina mad by staying long and she only came because she invited her. Emiliano says he wishes it were her baby but he is going to dedicate his life to making his son happy.

Fr. Benito visits Cristobal in prison and he tells him about his mother’s visit. He advised him to listen to his mother since she came all this way to see him. He further advises Cristocal to see these trials as as a test of faith.


The sun rises over Real del Monte.

Angelica is telling Orlando about what Dario did to her. Orlando says he’s sorry he hasn’t been around especially with the birth of his grandson. Angelica informs him she’s going to go after Dario with everything she’s got. Orlando says he’s sorry, but he couldn’t find the manuscript she gave him. He wanted to read it. Why? she says sharply. It was a good story, she says, or Dario wouldn’t have stolen it. Don’t look for it, I found it thrown in among your other papers. Orlando says he really wanted to read it and Angelica says is that why you lied to me and said you had? Orlando says I was ashamed that I hadn’t yet. That he was awfully sorry and hopes to be honest with her henceforth. Angelica gets emotional saying she feels all alone but Orlando assures that she is not.

Don Eugenio calls Gabriel and he assures him he’s fine. He wants to come see him but using the excuse of the unfinished conversation with Carlota.

Paloma and Lilian are visiting and the conversation turns to Paloma and Gabriel, but Paloma denies any relationship. Lilian advises her to move on as Emiliano is making his own life with Romina and the baby. Paloma changes the subject by asking about Erik. When Lilian tells her there are still having misunderstanding because of German, Paloma suggests she talk with him and tell him how she feels.

 A nurse comes up and asks if they’re going to go by the neonatal unit as Romina is required to express her milk for the baby. Camila tries talking to Romina but she refuses saying she can do it at home not in the open. The nurse warns her that her milk will dry up. Romina walks off to the see the baby. She looks at the baby through the observation window and sees the resemblance with German and she doesn’t know what she’s going to do when he gets bigger. When Emiliano and Camila come up, she gushes about how the baby looks just like him. Emiliano does not see how and Camila looks very worried.


In the prison yard, Christobal remembers all that the mother said that she hadn’t had one day of peace all these years. Chicho spots him and runs over and reminded him of what his mother said that God’s ways are not men’s ways. Canibal the enemy approaches and tells him he can’t wait until the day when he quits pretending to be innocent and admits to be a killer, like the rest of them there. Chicho tells him to buzz off and they started struggling. The guards come and separated them and one informs Christobal he has a visitor. He suspected Carlota and does not want to go but the guard tells him he has to.
True to suspicion, It’s Carlota waiting for him. He rushes for the door but it was closed. He wants to know why she won’t leave him alone and accuses her of being responsible for all this. Carlota admits and tells him his love has made her do terrible things. She said she came to ask one more time that he be her man. Cristobal responded "You are the worst thing that has happened to me in my life. I’d rather spend the rest of my days in prison than in bed with you".
"Fine" says Carlota, "If you want to stay in prison, help yourself. We would have been great together".
The guard lets Christobal out and she says "You lost your opportunity".

Romina delivers premature baby




The doctor tells Emiliano,Camila,Orlando, Dr.Bermudez and Gabriel hovering around that there is a possibility that the baby could die. Rafael just comes in when the doctor walks away and Emiliano had to tells him the situation.

Romina in pains is crying and scared and seeking comfort from Paloma who is equally worried. Camilla is distraught but convinced that from the calculation, the baby should be eight months except there is a mistake. Dr. Bermudez confirmed that there is no mistake, the baby is around seven months. She then says if what he is saying to her is true, then Emiliano is not the father of the child. Dr. Bermudez is surprised by this revelation and ask if there's somebody else who could be the father and Camilla says German but wouldn't want anyone else to know. The Doctor remembers when German came to ask how he know if a baby was his or not.

Paloma leaves when the Doctor comes in with Emiliano to meet the anxious crowd outside and tells them the Doctor is with Romina.

Orlando congratulates Rafael on his new partner and to inform him of his coming marriage. Rafael got angry and both argued. Camilla is so worried to pay attention.

Romina is asked to push but she couldnt. The doctor and nurse leave and Romina slumps back on the bed in pain and frustration while Emiliano keep telling her to keep calm. After a while, Emiliano comes out to tell them that Romina is having complications giving birth naturally.
The doctor with Dr.Bermudez come to inform them about the situation and ask Emiliano to make a decision.
Dr. Bermudez says if he doesn't make a decision, he may loose Romina and the baby. Emiliano was shocked and wondered why he is asked to make that kind of tough decision. Why cant they save both. Camila pleaded that her daughter must be saved. Emiliano ask 'what about my baby'. Camila responded that he can separate from Romina and have another child. Everyone urges him to save Romina including Paloma who nods her head in agreement with them. Emiliano cleans his eyes and tells the doctor to go ahead and save Romina but if possible to save his baby too.

Liliana is helping Eric straighten his ruffled clothes from the fight with German but Eric angrily confronts her about German. Liliana tries to reassure him but he leaves and she started crying.

Meanwhile Luz tosses and turns in bed.She can't sleep and keeps thinking and tossing back in forth in bed.

Emiliano is at the hospital crying and banging his head against the wall, Rafael comes to console and Emiliano tells him his suspicion about the premature baby. He believes the baby is not his and Rafael concurs.

Eventually, the doctor comes out to tell them Romina is okay and the baby is delivered but very small and he doesn't know if it will survive. He said the baby may need a specialist. Afterward Camila goes to see Romina  and tells her the only one who is important is her. Romina then makes a comment how the baby will look like her and Camila looks at her suspiciously and she looks away guiltily.

After the birth of the baby, Paloma is walking along with Gabriel telling him how happy she is that both Romina and the baby are alive.
Gabriel tells her this is the first time he sees her happy, excited and free. He thanks her for letting him be with her for a very important moment in her life. He leans over and kisses her on the cheek. Paloma is surprised and shaken by this action and Gabriel takes off his jacket and puts it around her shoulders. They both look into each others eyes and realised they are in love.

Luz wakes feeling gloomy but the phone rings and its Rafael, he tells her about the birth of his grandson. Luz says she wishes she was with him, so he ask her to come that he will wait for you.

At home Paloma tells Rufina about the baby and how very delicate his situation is. She tells her the baby may not survive according to the Doctor's prediction..

After the baby has been transferred to the Incubator, family is allowed to go see him. Rafael and Orlando flank Emiliano sides and they all looking at the new born baby, talking about how precious and beautiful he looks.

The baby in the incubator being attended to by the Nurse while the proud father and the two grandfathers look on. I wonder where Diana is, one of the grandmothers.

Carlota is asking Paloma who told her she could go to the hospital instead of coming home. First it was Emiliano now your instructor this is not good Paloma.

Paloma tells her there were adults there from Camila, Orlando and Rafael so she was not alone and she was there  for Romina and her baby. Carlota doesn't want to hear this. She thinks it best that she has nothing to do with the baby except Paloma is using it to get to Emiliano. But Paloma tells her no hidden agenda or hateful intention unlike her. What does being her niece and having her blood mean to her and all the times she have been hateful towards her and her mother Macarena.Carlota cannot look her straight in the eye after this comment. Later Paloma leaves telling her truth hurts.

Diana is walking along the street when Luz comes out of a door closing it. Diana is surprised that she is coming out of Rafael's apartment and Luz tells her she lives there.Diana can't believe this and calls her names.

Luz laughs at her and tells her how happy she is and she has to go meet up Rafael and see his new grandson. Diana was shocked at the news but Luz walks away. 

 Samuel is in his room checking his messages when he hears the one from Camila about Romina having a baby. Samuel wonders why it was so soon and worries about the money he got from Romina.

German comes in to congratulate Emiliano and was told the baby is premature. German thinks about it but convinced him the test shoewd the baby is Emiliano not his. 
 Paloma confesses to Rufina that she is interested in Gabriel but wouldnt say love while Gabriel is feeling the same way and this shows in his attitude. He was painting and happily humming along to his theme song. Fr. Mateo comes in to ask about the restoration of the virgin painting and he says he would complete the project even though Cristobal was not there.

Meanwhile in Jail, Cristobal with his cellmate Chucho walking along when a guard comes to tell him he has a visitor. .
 Cristobal immediately asked if it is Carlota but the Guard say he wouldn't know so he leaves with the guard.

Romina with Emiliano so Camila and Orlando leave. Romina wants the baby to be named Samuel after her father but Emiliano says NO.

She goes on about her family, her son and Emiliano but he is not happy.

German is still sitting in the cafeteria thinking about the baby and what Emiliano said, when Dr.Bermudez sees him  and requests to talk to him the next day privately..

the Graduatiom Dance

En Nombre del Amor,

Paloma arriving on the arms of Gabriel looking beautiful, elegant and posh in her ballroom dress bought by Rufina after Carlota ruined the first one. She is the one everyone complimented.





At the graduation, Paloma and Romina hug and cry and everyone looks moved except Carlota who knows that Romina is pretending to be touched.

Cristobal tells cellmate that his father gave him the photograph before he died and that is father told him he’d never get the other half, so it’s strange that it appeared while he  was asleep in the hospital. He needs to find out who left it and why.

Madame Madeleine, the old lady that just arrived is ready and in a couple of days the meeting will be able to take place. She thinks, “Finally, Cristobal, finally.”


After all the speeches, Liliana rushes to the Microphone and calls everyone out to dance. German tells Carlota he would have liked to come to the dance with Paloma and that he’s interested in being near her and Carlota.  Paloma jumps to the dance floor and Gabriel follows. Romina complains to Emiliano about dancing with her, so he reluctantly gets up. Camila sees them and says the that marriage was a mistake. Luz says they don’t look like they’re in love and Rafael confirms it saying “love isn’t easy to find.”

Diana with Samuel but wants to be discreet to avoid gossip.

Paloma with Gabriel.

The dance Proper starts and Paloma is enjoying every second of it. Everyone starts doing some kind of line dance where people have to switch partners.
Of course Emiliano and Paloma end up dancing together while Romina ends up dancing with Liliana's boyfriend. Shes not happy and was glaring at them from across the room.


Suddenly Romina starts to double over in pain and had to leave the dance floor.


Liliana dances with Gabriel and tells him she likes him and Paloma as a couple but when she switches and dancing with Emiliano she notes that he still loves Paloma and he confirms it and says he’ll never stop loving her.

Romina stumbles into the bathroom and seeing Carlota complains to her that she had the pain from watching Emiliano and Paloma together. Carlota advises her to get a hold on her husband and not allow him and Paloma to be alone together for even one minute and she will take care of Paloma. Camila turns to Rufina about the feud between Romina and Paloma. Luz asks what separated them, to which Orlando answers “they both fell in love with the same man.”

Natalia agonizes over Alonso. She remembers several instances of him working on his computer and one night when he was worried and couldn’t sleep. She thinks there must have been something going on, he was very different in his last days. She takes out a picture of her and Sagrario, saying “help me, because it’s not fair to you, to me, to our daughter.” Then a scene where Alonso hid a piece of paper inside the very frame that Natalia is holding.


Carlota tries to make Rufina leave when she came out of the ladies room but she refuses insisting on staying with Paloma awhile longer. Rafael offers to take Carlota home and Rufina says Dr. Bermuda will bring her and Paloma home.

Paloma and Gabriel run into Romina, who’s looking rather green. She starts having pains again so Gabriel runs off to call Emiliano who with Camila come running. Romina is surprised but Dr. Bermudez says it’s time to go to the hospital. Romina is driven to the hospital by Gabriel accompanied by Emiliano and Paloma while the Doctor goes to drop Rufina at home before meeting them at the hospital. In the car Romina thanks Paloma for being there for her always especially on this important day.
Camila wonders why the baby is coming earlier than the expected date. To her calculation, the baby will be premature and she confides in Orlando but doesn’t think it will be a problem.

Carlota is taken home by Rafael and Luz and shes not impressed with Luz's attitude to life. They discussed about living life freely and is worried and doesn’t want her putting ideas in Paloma’s head. When they dropped her, it was Luz turn to wonder which last century she is from.  

The night is full of scary noises at the jail and Cristobal wonders where the noise is from. The cellmate, Chucho tells him its a Cannibal group who goes about to beat people up

Dr. Bermudez takes Rufina home and gives her the two rings to put back where she found them. Rufi decides to give Paloma the real one and Carlota the fake one. She tells the Doctor about her suspicions of Carlota diluting Macarena’s medication which was why  the medication was not working. She also thinks Carlota ruined Paloma’s dress on purpose. The Doctor says they can’t prove anything so its better they all leave her and move to Mexico City. Carlota just walked up to them and heard this and demands to know what he meant. Dr. Bermudez appears caught but informs Carlota that Macarena didn’t want Paloma to live with her. He says if Macarena didn’t trust her, he wouldn't and he intends to keep the promise he made to Macarena.  When Carlota asks where Paloma is, she was informed of Romina having a baby and Paloma going with her. She did not think Paloma should be with Romina since they have stopped being friends.

At the hospital, Romina asks Paloma to stay with her while Camila calls her dad. Camila calls Rafael and he was surprised too that the baby is coming earlier than the due date. Luz offers to go with him to the hospital but he tells her to stay home and rest.

German and Liliana get into an argument about who’s the father of Romina’s baby is. Liliana believes its German's despite the DNA results. German grabs her and wants to kiss her because he thinks she is still in love with him. But Eric, Liliana's boyfriend pulled him away and punched him.

While Carlota goes upstairs, Rufina sneaks into the study to put the fake ring back in the desk. But Carlota comes in and Rufina lied that she came to close the window. Well Carlota quickly confirms that the ring is safe. When Carlota leaves, Rufina quickly went to retrieve the real ring she hid under the desk.

Rafael calls Diana but she doesn’t answer. She says she wants him to suffer not knowing her grandson is being delivered. She is with her new boyfriend, Samuel.

The doctor does an ultrasound on Romina and notes that the baby is very small. Romina claims she’s 8 months pregnant to deceive and the doctor thinks maybe the baby hasn’t developed normally. He informs them that the baby is fine but very small, like it’s 7 months or less.

The Graduation Party

At last The other Priests saw the other half of the baby's photo and German brings it to Fr. Cristobal.

Carlota offers to iron Paloma's gown and she tells her to finish putting on her make-up. Carloca is ironing Paloma's dress and purposely ruins it by leaving the iron on it.

Rufina dresses and comes into Paloma's room to collect her dress for ironing but Paloma tells her that Carlota is already doing it. Rufina surprised says Carlota doesn't like to iron! Of course she doesn't, she only wants to ruin the dress by burning it.

Carlota rushes in and to tell Paloma that she accidentally ruined her dress. Paloma starts crying. Rufina thinks she might be able to fix the dress but Carlota says no. She offers to lend Paloma one of her dresses since the shops are closed.

Gabriel shows up at Sandra's house but Sandra's mother wants to tell him something about Sandra.

Emiliano hurries Romina up so that they would not be late. Romina comes out and says she looks ugly but Emiliano reminds her that she's pregnant. She tries to adjust her scarf to hide her belly.

Fr. Cristobal wishes he could be at Paloma's graduation. He asks God to watch out over her since he cannot be there.

The doorbell rings and it's Dr. Bermudez. Carlota opens the door and walks away. Rufina comes up to greet the doctor properly.

Gabriel comes too and Carlota asks him rudely what he is doing here. He replies that he came to get Paloma. Suddenly Paloma walks up and asks What Gabriel was doing here? Gabriel explains why and Carlota says absolutely not. When asked why? she says Paloma is not going to be second best just because his initial date got cancelled. That's not what happened says Gabriel.

Is that how you understood it he asks Paloma. No replies Paloma with Rufina and Dr. Bermudez agreeing also. Dr. Bermudez points out that it's tradition for the graduates to be accompanied by a partner. Rufina mentions that it will make Paloma go to the party because now that her dress was ruined by accident by Carlota she didn't want to go. Paloma says she doesn't feel comfortable with the dress that she is wearing. But if he wants to accompany her then she would love to go. Everyone is happy except Carlota.
Romina and Emiliano show up at the hotel where the graduation is going to be held and come across Rafael and Luz. Rafa says he came to take Luz to the restaurant for dinner. He introduces Luz to Emiliano and Romina. Luz comments on how she has wanted to meet him and that he looks a lot like his dad. And Romina looks beautiful. They are about to leave when Camila and Orlando show up. Camila and Rafa make eyes at each other. Luz shakes hands with Camila. Emiliano breaks up the happy group and says they have to go in now. Romina comes up with the bright idea for Rafa and Luz to come along with them. Emiliano doesn't want to mess up Rafa's plan, but Romina overrides it and says that she had to buy a table and there is room for them. Rafa says thanks, but we didn't come properly dressed. Luz suggests they go home and change into appropiate attire. Romina seconds the idea. Camila asks Romina not to insist if they don't want to. Orlando seconds the comment. Romina ignores them and tells Luz that she expects them to show up.

Diana and the ladies play cards with Samuel.

Rufina had given the two rings to Dr.Bermudez so she asks if he has figured out the true situation. He says one is the original and the other a very good copy. He thinks the copy was made by Carlota.

Gabriel stops and buys Paloma a flower. He tells her he has another surprise for her.

Romina and Emiliano walk into the room where the party is being held followed by Camila and Orlando. Orlando comments that he thinks Romina went to far. Camila agrees. Orlando says this dinner will be torture with you, me, Rafael and his newest girlfriend. Camila says if you want to leave, I'll understand. Orlando says of course not. Camila asks if Luz is really pretty. Orlando says she pales in comparison to her. Emiliano too was angry at Romina for inviting Rafael and Luz. Now Orlando and Rafa are going to be uncomfortable. Romina thinks Camila needs to get use to it because once the baby is born they are going to around each other

Romina and Emiliano ask where Paloma is when they see Rufina, Carlota and Dr. Bermudez. Rufina says she's just coming in.

Paloma walks in with Gabriel on her arm wearing a new dress. The dress? Carlota asks Rufina what she did. Nothing replies Rufina saying I just bought her a new dress. Orlando says she's beautiful, Romina says she looks nice and Emiliano says spectacular.

Paloma goes up to Camila who tells her she looks beautiful. Paloma introduces Gabriel to her. Romina comments that she thought Paloma was coming alone. Paloma says last minute Gabriel wanted to accompany her. Anyway Liliana comes in and spots Paloma. They get all excited and Liliana says you look gorgeous. I'm so glad that you came with Gabriel especially after all that happened. Romina wants to go what's going on.

Emiliano and Romina sit down at their table and Romina rubs it in that Paloma found herself another. Camila says Paloma's free and so is Gabriel. They look like a lovely couple. Orlando says so does Emiliano and Romina. You look beautiful today. Romina tells him not to lie. She looks like a cow.

Paloma thanks Rufina for the dress. Rufina says that Paloma has become the focus of the party. Of course Carlota is not pleased.

Angelica and Miriam meet in a restaurant and she tell her how Dario stole her book. Miriam isn't surprised because Dario used her too. Angelica wants to get back at him. She wants them to join forces and Miriam agrees.

At the party Emiliano keeps looking at Paloma and Gabriel and is jealous. German comes up and asks what's wrong? Paloma came with that guy replies Emiliano. They both talk about Gabriel. German assures him that he will handle everything.

Rafael and Luz show up and and Rafael tells Emiliano he doesn't think this is a good idea.

German greets Carlota and pays Paloma compliments. He wants to dance with Paloma but Gabriel says no that that will be his pleasure.

Mother Superior starts the party by making a speech. Rafael looks at Camila, Romina looks at Emiliano and Emiliano looks at Paloma. What an exchange of looks.

Joel and Monica are together getting to know each other. Joel says once they get married, Monica's son will get use to him. Monica is shocked and asks if he wants to marry her? Of course replies Joel. Don't you? Monica says she wants to spend her life next to him along with her son. Why don't we live together instead? That way if you want to leave you can just pack up. No papers involved. Are you that scared asks Joel. Monica begs Joel to understand. She's scared of marriage. I understand that you had a bad experience with the father of your son, but that does not mean all men are bad.

Paloma was invited to come up and make a speech. Gabriel escorts her to the stage. Paloma makes a speech about leaving behind today their childhood and looking forward to adulthood. She thanks all for the love and guidance they have shown them. Paloma thanks everyone especially Romina for opening up her heart to her when she first came to the school. Romina cries silently. Paloma says with Romina I learned what a friend and a sister is. I will always care for her. No matter what. Carlota just shakes her head. Video of Romina and Paloma as kids at the school. Everyone looks on at the video and tears are running down Romina's face. At the end of the video Romina and Paloma embrace.

Fr. Cristobal's cellmate asks about the torn photo and he says it showed up at the hospital while he was sleeping and he needs to know who gave it to him.

Graduation Day

Gabriel Lizarde
Gabriel is upset that Luz knows his secret and wonders how. She says she found out quite a while ago, by accident, and it hasn’t changed anything between them so far and it shouldn't change anything now. She won’t tell anyone but urges him to live life fully, fall in love and loosen up.

When Fr. Benito enters to see him, Cristobal tells him he hates Carlota with the fire of a thousand suns and wants to kill her.

Paloma calls Gabriel and tells him that Fr. Cristobal is going to be fine. She says she’ll see him at their next class, and not to worry about Aunt Carlota.

Rufina tells Dr. Bermúdez about the second ring she found, exactly like Paloma’s engagement ring from Iñaki, which Carlota said was worthless. The doctor wants to see both.

Monica watches her son drawing with his class of little children. Joel shows up, says hello to the kid, and is rewarded with a big hug and kiss. He gives the little boy a present. Monica is touched by his care.

German tries to explains to Paloma the issue of prison vigilante justice. She wonders if there is something they can do to protect Cristobal and Natalia but German thinks that will be hard. While he leaves to see Natalia, Emiliano takes Rufina and Paloma home. At home, Rufina is instantly summoned by Carlota who is on her bed and demanding juice, as she is feeling weak after donating her blood. She also wants to make sure Rufina knows that she is the one that donated blood to save Cristobal. She asks that Rufina should thank her but she said she would rather thank God and asks Carlota what exactly are her intentions. Carlota says to make Cristobal eternally grateful to her. Rufina reminded her that he will not return her love and Carlota is annoyed that it is so obvious to all that Cristobal does not love her.But she tells Rufina that soon she will get a big surprise.

Chava hangs in the park, drinking with his friends and when Meche shows up and yells at him, he tries to blame his drinking on the hypocritical priest. Meche cries to Fr Mateo about her grandson and he comforted her saying he’ll ask Emiliano to talk some sense into the boy.

Dr. Bermudez has to apologize to Fr. Cristobal that Carlota was the blood donor. This was an emergency.

Paloma advises Emiliano to try to make his marriage to Romina work. Emiliano drags himself home. Romina is for some reason super excited about the graduation party and showing him her new dress and asking him if he wants to invite his parents. He says German wants to be invited. Romina doesn’t like that, but says he should invite Rafael and his new girlfriend. Emiliano calls Rafael to confirm the existence of the new girlfriend and he confirms it saying it happened rather by surprise.

Camila is still tormenting herself about Rafael and Luz and trying to cheer herself into getting over it, since she was the one who left him.
