Refresher: Lucia and Ramon discuss Nora's case and his crush on Lucia. Brigida faces cold reality of Amadiva's mistakes. Marcelo interrupts the Lucia/Ramon tea and it looks like we might get an exciting confrontation.
This Episode: Some people find out some secrets and some people are afraid to tell people secrets. Plus a picture of MC Becky!
We do not get an exciting introduction between Marcelo and Ramon. The two men make their introductions and that's really about it.
Neither one has much to say. Lucia rushes Marcelo out of there. He asks her why she's in a rush. She wants to find Nora and the gun. (I almost went with Nora's Got a Gun for my 90s song title for the post heading.) Marcelo notices that Lucia almost didn't seem to want Marcelo there, but she says it's only because she is worried about her father not seeing a cardiologist.
Nora talks to Al. She wants to know all the scoop he has about Ricardo and Rebeca, and to verify what she has heard about their long-ago affair and Rebeca's allegations that he attempted to rape and blackmail her. Well that should keep Al's heart ticking! Nora is thinking this is what drove Al to seek a divorce and tries to defend her mother. Alonso clarifies that he's seeking a divorce because of many changes in Rebeca, and that Ricardo has little to do with it. Nora continues to advocate for Rebeca, and Alonso reiterates his position. Then Alonso tells Nora that she can live with him after he moves out, and in fact, he would be pleased if she did.
Norma is leaving work late and can't find a taxi. Naz offers to drive her home. This strangely romantic music plays.
As they depart, Lalo follows them out the factory door and turns out the lights. Then he goes to a rare wall telephone and makes a call to Tere to confirm the details for their date to the wedding. (Tere says that Rebeca will kill her if she catches her getting a personal call, lol.) After he hangs up, he locks eyes with that awful Vinicio who has come around the bend. They have a moment while Lalo makes a show of locking up the factory and dangling the keys. After Lalo leaves, Vinicio dials *69 to see who he called and gets the Mansion Gaxiola. He gets this weird glint in his eye and says "Teresita" with a creepy smile. I do not like this at all!
Norma and Naz arrive at her house and have some awkward goodbye conversation as she indicates to him she lives alone. But it turns out they've both been invited to the wedding tomorrow. They awkwardly make plans to go together. I'm sorry, they're a little too awkward; I think I'm team Rafiella if Naz must have a new girlfriend, but I'm really team too soon after Trini.
Magdalena and Mario are looking at their wedding gifts and friskily throwing linens at each other.
They are sad some of their dearly departed friends and family can't be there. Mario wonders why Magdalena doesn't want Rebeca there. Mags clarifies that Rebeca has Done. Bad. Things. to Mags that definitely would get her uninvited to anyone's wedding.
Alonso comes into the bedroom and delivers his divorce papers to Rebeca. She promptly tears them up.
Alonso doesn't understand why Rebeca wants to stay with him when he clearly doesn't love her anymore. She tells him that she has loved him from the first day she saw him. (This got my hopes up for a Horacio Poncheri playing young Alonso flashback but nope.) She adds this is why he shouldn't believe the allegations that she was the reason Ricardo left Mags at the altar. Alonso picks up on the fact that she was in love with him even when he was with Adriana and starts to raise his suspicions that Rebeca had something to do with Adriana's death. Rebeca vigorously denies this. Alonso is not convinced and asks Rebeca to swear upon Nora's life that she had nothing to do with Adriana's death. Rebeca is furious that Alonso would invoke Nora in this argument. Alonso backs down from that. But he promises to uncover the truth and tells Rebeca that the papers she tore up were only a copy; the divorce is happening!
Marcelo arrives home and Rafi rushes to warn him: She's BAAAAAAACKKKK.
Yup, Momster has arrived and posted herself in Marcelo's bedroom after Dani threw her out. She tearfully tells her son how she offended and hurt she is from Dani's eviction. She also is way too worried about a son's ex-girlfriend who spent the night out of her own home and tries to get Marcelo to talk to Dani. Marcelo points out as the ex-boyfriend he's not in a position to do that to a grown woman who has her own life. Momster wants to tell Dani's father. Marcelo convinces her not to do that. Momster then guilts Marcelo into letting her return to live there. He really has no choice, poor guy.
The next morning, Lucia checks on Alonso. He looks better. Now I'm really worried! He wants to go to the factory to work, and not to the cardiologist. Things are together. His divorce is on track. Now he just needs Lucia to marry Marcelo and get out of the house before Rebeca hurts Lucia in retaliation for Alonso leaving her. Lucia is like, please, I can handle her.
Brigida and Rod meet for a meal. He's having trouble finding work. She mentions Amador's being forced to give up his partnership and that they might sell the home. She's actually sad for Amador, as in her eyes, he's worked hard. Ugh. She wonders if he could come home and they could resume their old family life. Rod tells her there's no way and encourages her to leave him. She says she's not brave like Rod. Rod says he's not brave, because if he were, there's no way he would have been stupid and lost Lucia. He thinks every day about how it would have turned out if he had married her. Brigida adds "or Nora." Rod simply encourages Brigida to be careful of Nora; she's not like she seems.
Roman calls Nora to schedule an appointment. She blows him off.
Nora asks Lucia (who is clomping loudly down the hallway) if she's found the gun yet (LOL!) Lucia says no, and Nora says well you searched my room, I guess I don't have it! Lucia retorts that she hasn't told Al yet, but if she's left with no choice, she will. Nora is like, eh, go ahead and tell Alonso, and tell Roman too. They like to talk about my nonsense. But you are all wasting your time.
Marcelo gives some documents to feeling-better Alonso who makes fun of Lucia wanting him to see a doctor. The two dummies laugh at this. Ugh. Alonso says it's normal for parents to pass before the children, and don't save him when it happens. UGH! Alonso says it pleases him that Lucia is engaged to a guy like Marcelo and asks what Momster thinks about it. Marcelo asks why he's asking, and Alonso mentions the visit from Momster, where she asked Lucia to tell her about the woman involved with Fede. Marcelo gets some serious anxiety about how to answer and tries to deflect by saying Fede killed himself, but Alonso presses for the identity of the woman. Does he know her. Oh do you ever, Al. Marcelo tells him that he is afraid of how the woman will react when she is outed. Norma puts a call through and Marcelo is saved by the bell this time. Before Alonso takes the call and Marcelo leaves, Marcelo tells him they will talk later and he does want to clarify the matter.
Nora visits Magdalena and invites herself inside.
Lucia and Marcelo discuss how Marcelo almost told Alonso about Rebeca. Marcelo is afraid to tell him. Lucia is pre-occupied and worried and they agree to talk later that night about it. But first, the wedding! They will meet at the church. Lucia needs to help Mags get ready.
Nora asks Magdalena if it's true that Ricardo left her at the altar due to Rebeca. Magdalena simply replies that Nora's mom has some major flaws. Nora defends her mom. Magdalena tells her that she doesn't want to argue and hey she's got a new wedding to get ready for. This is the first Nora has heard of the wedding. Magdalena reluctantly has to invite her. Nora is flummoxed and rushes out of there with a "hope what happened to you last time doesn't happen again! Oops sorry didn't mean it!"
On her way out, Nora bumps into arriving Lucia and says that she was there to congratulate their aunt. Lucia rushes in to see what Nora was really doing there. Mags fills her in - it seems that Nora is developing a few doubts about her mom. Lucia says, "If only she knew everything her mom has done." Mags feels kind of bad for Nora, but Lucia mentions that Nora has her own secrets and tells her about the break-in to Marcelo's apartment and stealing the gun. Mags is understandably concerned about a missing gun in the hands of Nora. Lucia adds that she's worried about Alonso's health too and his search to find out the identity of the woman that brought Marcelo to town. It's all too much. Especially for Mags who just wants to get ready for her wedding and reminds Lucia about it. They redirect themselves to wedding preparations.
Brigida returns home to a frazzled maid, who says Amador has locked himself if Rod's room all day. Brigida busts in to find an out-of-it Amadiva on the floor there. He cries out that they lost the house, they've lost everything, his son hates him and he wants to die. And it's all Marcelo's fault. Brigida comforts him.
Lalo runs to Marcelo. He's rushing to complete work and get to his big date for the wedding with Tere. Marcelo gives him a nice tie to wear on the date and helps him tie it. Lalo is touched that they are true friends. He wants Marcelo to be the witness when he marries Tere! (Whoa Lalo you're only on your second or third date here.) Marcelo comments that he has a little personal business to take care of for that to happen.
Magda is having an updo for her wedding. She looks pretty. Lucia gets a call from Roman, who tells her about Nora blowing off his attempt to schedule an appointment. He also wants Lucia to know he knows she loves her boyfriend. LOL, Lucia is aware.
Lucia is like yeah, thanks for the call with these big QTF, why are you bothering me eyes. She returns to the far more important item: Mags' hairdo for the wedding.
Nora comes into Rebeca's bedroom. Did Rebeca know there's a wedding today? Rebeca knew there was a wedding, but not that it was today and sniffs that Mags didn't invite her. Nora leaves with a parting shot that she guesses that Alonso is bringing Lety's mom as his date.
Ricardo is visiting Dani's pad. She tells him that her father pays for it. We get a little back story and learn that Dani's mom is dead and her dad travels and pays for everything, but really they don't communicate. Dani is basically alone, but Ricardo tells her now he cares for her. Then he gets a mysterious call. He tells the caller to give him 5-10 minutes and he'll call back. He makes a vague excuse to Dani. She makes him promise not to leave her alone too long. As they smooch, Momster uses her key to come in and startles them.
Momster is gobsmacked to see this but quickly recovers and asks who the hell is Dani with? Dani tells her it's none of her business and Ricardo scoots.
Rod tells his mom she won't go to the wedding and she wants nothing to do with him. Sergio overhears and asks who he was talking about. Rod tells him his mom says his dad is depressed and she wants Rod to see him, but Rod refuses. Sergio encourages him to go, as it is still his dad after all.
Momster tells Dani that Ricardo is old enough to be her father. Dani retorts that he treats her better than Marcelo did. They trade a few more insults and overbearing mom'isms. Did Momster come to spy? No, just to get her things. Dani tells her to get them, and give her the key so you can't come back in again, which Momster does.
Ricardo gets a visit from Nora. She reminds him they have met before. He recalls meeting her at Leti's house and that Nora wanted nothing to do with the people who lived there. Nora says that's true, but she's there to talk about her mother and the things she has done. Ricardo tries to play dumb, and Nora tells him not to play dumb. She knows he tried to slander her and rape her. Ricardo scoffs and says that Rebeca seduced him back in the day so that he would leave Mags. Nora gets uncomfortable and tries to leave, but Ricardo roughly grabs her and tells her he must show her something. He shows her a picture of Rebeca in her MC Becky days (see screencap above). Then he turns it around to show a love note Rebeca penned to him:
He reads the note which basically says, "For the man who had the passion that no man ever made me feel, with all my love, MC Becky." Nora is agape. That wedding is going to be nuts tonight!
