Blond bitch Cristal is slap-happy mad at Lucia. Over what, I'm not sure. The birth of her hatred must have been left on the cutting room floor when they edited 200 + episodes down to just twenty-six.
Their fight draws everyone in the house down to the living room. Okay, I'm guessing here but I think back when Lucia was still a bus driver she was somehow involved in an accident with Cristal that totaled the bitch's car. Enriqueta (for the umpteenth time) fires Lucia. We're also introduced for the first time to red head Mariela, sister of Cristal and wife of Leonel.
Oh, it turns out Camilo, the guy who is in love with Natasha, is the brother of Dr. Claudio. BTW, Claudio has formerly asked Elena for permission to court Lucia.
Raul and his gigantic headband are walking along the road when Cristal stops to give him a lift. They end up totally making out on the side of the road. I don't think this constitutes an emergency.
For the umpteenth time Raul is jealous. For the umpteenth time Lucia is jealous. For the umpteenth time they get into a fight. When are you going to become a rebellious angel, Lucia? To be honest, so far y'all are the most boring couple on this show, and here you're supposed to be the stars!
Raul breaks up with Rubi. Blaming Lucia, Rubi gets into a hair-pulling fight with her rival while they're on a bus.
Raul and Lucia get back together. She wants to keep their relationship a secret, especially from her mother.
Some woman I've never seen before tells Natasha about Cristal having an affair with Ernesto. Cristal claims the other woman is a liar and they get into a cat fight.
Balbina, Enriqueta's head housekeeper, encounters a very much alive Elena. Elena begs the other woman not to tell anyone, especially Enriqueta.
Raul and Lucia make hot, sweet, fade-to-black, off-screen love to each other. Raul wants to marry her and struggles to find a way to get enough money to do it. Elena discovers her daughter has a secret boyfriend. She's enraged. Only because there could be a chance Lucia is pregnant does Elena allow the couple to get married. But they can't see (or more importantly, touch!) each other until the wedding.
Balbina tells Alejandro that Lucia is his daughter and that Elena is alive. For some reason he chooses not to reveal his real identity to his family. Perhaps he thinks he's protecting them as he pursues his mild vengeance against Enriqueta.
Raul's uncle, who doesn't approve of the marriage, throws the young man out of the house. As Raul is jaywalking across the street, Cristal accidentally hits him with her sports car. She takes him back to the mansion to nurse Raul back to health. Raul has to fight her off.
Elena goes to answer the door and is shocked speechless to see it's her mother. Enriqueta demands to know why her daughter has been in hiding for twenty years. Elena accuses Enriqueta of sending Joaquin (the dead guy from the first episode) to kill Alejandro and to rape Elena. Enriqueta calls her daughter "Stupido!" over and over as she slaps Elena around.
Because Lucia is the daughter of her grandmother's blood enemy, Enriqueta warns that Lucia will never be accepted into the Covarrubias family.
