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.
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.
