Reuben had come to protest to Lupe for allowing his son to be doing menial jobs like driver and gardener for Marissa. Ordonez used the opportunity to tell him that he and Lupe would be going to the altar to sign the dotted lines soon. He also advised Reuben in strong terms to stop stirring up trouble between Lupe and her son. Before Reuben left, he begged Lupe to let Caesar come to see him, that he would give him a more dignified job with better income and prospects.

Marissa was sad because L.A refused to sign the divorce papers. She informed Pedro of possible delay to their marriage plans. She told him how L.A planned to stir up an adultery scandal in the press, in order to smear her reputation, and cause the Board of Directors of the Metropolitan Bank, to remove her as the president. She told him that L.A is prepared to fight dirty, because he was jealous of Pedro.

Jenny, having heard Carlos plan to buy a new house for Pedrito, mocked him by proposing that he should divide his newest property into 4 and give Pedrito one portion, because he would not be the only child, as she would give him 3 children too, after marriage. She told Carlos to quickly come and impregnate her so that, she too can give him a son to play with, and would not have to be running after Pedrito again. She said all this just to taunt L.F, and true to her expectation, L.F was angry and insolent, she was not happy with Jenny's interruption of their get-together.

L.A came to visit L.F again to ask for her forgiveness. She sharply interjected that she had grown up knowing only one father, and that father is Pedro. saying, she has nothing to do with him, even though she has forgiven him.

Dr. Serrano counseled Carlos to recommend for Alfredo to travel to La Paz for physiotherapy treatment for his palsied limbs, because that is what he would need for the next few months for proper rehabilitation of the use of his limbs. After the message was passed to Alfredo, he looked Carlos in the eyes and asked him if he had been spending nights together with his fiancee because he heard reports that they were eating around restaurants together. Carlos smiled and told him not to break his head about L.F, since what he (Alfredo), wanted from her is marriage, Carlos assured him that L.F would keep her vows to him and marry him. He however assured him that, it would not stop L.F loving him (Carlos). Alfredo was jealous.

Foundation for another tragedy was being laid as L.F foolishly embraced and accepted Armando as her half brother when Vanessa brought him and introduced him to her. She was troubled in the spirit by this mysterious association, but kept an outward fraternal friendliness with this strange half brother, who was nothing but a criminal accomplice of a criminal father. [If L.F rejected L.A, her father, why must she embrace Armando, L.A's criminal accomplice, it is a recipe for another disaster].

Marissa accused Jenny of withholding information from her about L.A's second child and daughter. She told her that she knew because Carol told both Carlos and her together at the same time.

Heriberto slumped at the Iron and Steel factory and was rushed to the hospital. Consuela finally accepted to follow the advise of Heriberto by going to L.F's house to inform her that she was her Aunt. The game is up!
