Rosaura sees Crooked Nurse just a walkin' down the street singin' doo wah diddy diddy down diddy do. Distracted by Crooked Nurse, Rosaura nearly runs over a pedestrian. She slams on the brakes and knocks herself out. (Just go with it.)
Luis Mario and Maribella are breathing heavy and swallowing each other's faces when he accidentally calls her Rosaura. Understandably Maribella is less than pleased. (What she should have done was followed the wisdom of Susan Sarandon from Bull Durham and accept it was better to have Luis Mario here calling her Rosaura rather than him being with Rosaura and calling her Maribella.)
Desperate to get her missing child back, Rosaura gives in to Patricio who promises he'll get the baby back but not until Rosaura breaks up with both Luis Mario and Silvano (who has been wearing some really ugly clothes lately.)
Crooked Nurse takes a belt to her son Leo and beats him silly. Leo seeks protection from Luis Mario. In order not to be reported to the authorities, Crooked Nurse agrees to let Luis Mario take Leo and the baby for awhile until she calms down. Luis Mario then takes the boy and what he thinks is the boy's baby sister (but is in fact Luis Mario's own child) and dumps them off at Rosaura's place. Patricio struggles to think of a way to get rid of the kids before Rosaura realizes baby Angeliquita is actually her own.
Mercedez is looking for her other missing son and hears from the detective that the child may have been taken to Mexico. (I'm afraid just like I didn't get to hear the reason why Mercedez abandoned Luis Mario that I'll never find out why the other boy was taken away from her.)
Time is running short for Carina and they're not having much success finding a matching bone marrow donor for her.
Rosaura has invited Mercedez to the big house for dinner. While there Mercedez gets another call from the detective in Mexico. He's learned the boy was given over to a tribe of Indians to be raised. Patricio is like, "What a coincidence. I was raised by Indians in Mexico myself."
Faithful maid Caridad (Bruno's aunt) catches Maribella reading a magazine and confronts the tricky model. Caridad is all for telling Luis Mario the truth. Maribella begs for a week so she can come clean herself in a way that won't make Luis Mario hate her. Against her better judgment Caridad agrees. Later she calls Rosaura to tell her Maribella can see. In yet another scene lost to posterity, Rosaura already knew Maribella was faking because she had seen the model driving.
Luis Mario and Rosaura have yet another falling out and swear to never see each other again (again). Before parting ways (again) Rosaura insists to him that Maribella can see. Luis Mario asks Maribella about this and she swears up and down Rosaura is crazy.
Not wanting to be returned to his abusive mother, Leo takes baby Angeliquita and runs away. They get caught in a rainstorm and the baby falls ill. Strangers take the kids to the hospital where Angeliquita's life hangs by a thread.
Wanting to protect Maribella and get her married, Eduarda plots to kill Caridad before the maid can blab to Luis Mario. Eduarda figures she'll use the old tried and true method of running over Caridad. After all it worked with Rosaura's drunk dad all those episodes ago.
Caridad is rushed to the hospital where now she's the one whose life is hanging by a thread while baby Angeliquita is miraculously all better. Eduarda tries to kill off the unconscious Caridad before she wakes up but is interrupted by cousin Luisana. (I always want to write that as Lusitania.)
Rosaura was all set to divorce Patricio and ask Luis Mario for another chance again (again) when she learns he's still going to go through with the marriage to Maribella despite being told the model has been lying to him. So instead Rosaura plans to divorce Patricio and ask Silvano for another chance again.
Caridad comes to and asks for Luis Mario. She tells him about catching Maribella reading. He goes home and quietly enters the room to see Maribella doing her nails. Now that she's been caught red handed (literally) he orders her out of the house.
Patricio begs Rosaura not to divorce him. She will agree to remain married to him in name only if he agrees to have the house and the spa put in her name. He's desperate enough to do it.
Mercedez learns from the detective that Patricio is her long lost son. She doesn't look that thrilled about it.
Prepare yourself as Eva has gone totally over the edge. She shows up at Maribella's hotel room disguised as a biker chick. She thinks to ally herself with the model against Luis Mario and Rosaura. But unlike all the other crazy bitches on this show, Maribella isn't interested in any revenge. She just wants to get out of here and get on with her life. This doesn't set well with Eva and the two women fight with Eva successfully killing Maribella. She's in such a hurry to get out of there that she leaves her gun (with her fingerprints) behind so now the cops know she's the murderer and everyone is on the look-out.
Eva's next victim is supposed to be Rosaura but the chance comes up to kill Luis Mario and she takes it. She stabs him in the side with a wicked long knife. Before Eva can deliver the final blow Luis Mario has just enough strength to fight her off and so she flees. Luis Mario is rushed into surgery.
Since Patricio hasn't been paying the bills, Thug-For-Hire goes to the hospital and tells Luis Mario everything about the kidnapping, the birth in the attic, and how Angeliquita is really Rosaura's baby. You'd think Luis Mario would get right on the phone and call Rosaura with this earth-shattering news. You'd think wrong.
Luis Mario is telling his mother all about the wicked deeds Patricio has been behind in this series and how he'll do whatever it takes to put Patricio behind bars. Mercedez begs him not to as she reveals that Patricio is indeed Luis Mario's half brother. When Mercedez goes to Patricio to tell him who she is he informs her that he's suspected for awhile now that she was his birth mother but he wants nothing to do with her.
Maribella's older (much, much older) sister Jaqueline rides her steel horse into town and demands vengeance on her sister's killer.
Luis Mario starts to tell Rosaura about the baby but he takes too damn long and she walks out on him.
