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.
