Nadia is bleeding. Pedro and Doña Ofelia help her but they don't take her to a hospital (what's wrong with that people??!!! Wouldn't that be the best course of action if they want to keep the baby) Insted they call for the doc, who tells them to wait and see, she should be "haciendo reposo total" (like she's being working hard before...gheeez!) Pedro still wants to know how far along she is, and the doc says he will do a sonogram when she gets better. She uses this to get all mushy with Pedro, telling him that both of them need him (touching her own belly) = I guess this destroy my theory that she was not pregnant at all...
Carmina meets Marisa in a cafe, and insinuates to her that she had something with Gabriel, and that she will NOT marry him. Marisa believes her and goes and makes a scene to Gabriel, about why didn't he tell her the "truth" about his past with Carmina (During this whole episode, Marisa's volume has been 30 decibels over the maximum allowed to jet planes on take off!!!!!)
Rocio comes to Gabriel's studio to tell him that Julieta is in love with him. Before he can react, Marisa comes out and, guess what? starts yelling at Rocio!!! Y le dice de todo menos linda...
Then Marisa yells at Matilde about not wanting to see her daughter around Gabriel's house anymore (where is a good pair of ear plugs?)
Benjamin goes to Gabriel's house (he misses Marisa, or he would have been yell at too, I bet) and Gabriel asks him to help Magdalena, but Benjamin tells him she doesn't want his help (he later goes to his dad's office and tells him about Magdalena's problem)
Rebeca meets Benjamin outside Gabriel's house and acts quite childish, but finally says she is sorry about his sister's death (she is trying to make peace with him, and now he is playing hard to get...very cute)
Julieta finds out that Rocio told Gabriel about her feelings, and she is very ticked off with her...friend? and accusses Rocio of wanted her to be with ANY other man, so Cristobal can be for her (right on the money, girl!)
Gabriel goes to Julieta's office to talk to her. She confirms Rocio's words. Gabriel accusses her of playing with him, she cannot be in love with 2 men at the same time. She says that is true, she is feeling something more for him, that she has fallen in love with him. He wants her to prove it with a kiss.
Right in the middle of it, Pedro walks in (he is bringing back his mom's brooch to return it to Julieta) and his face contorts at the scene.
I know I'm missing a lot of stuff, so anybody who wants to fill in the holes, go for it!!!

WEll last night Jules admitted that she loved Pedro and they kissed kissed and kissed. He promised her he ws going to get a divorce from Nadia and they would get married by the two laws so that she can't get rid of him. They arrive at her house and find Javier waiting for her an he insults both of them and Pedro punches his lights out. She explains that that guy dont know what get lost means and Pedro tells him to stay away from Jules. Javier calls Nadia telling her what he saw and takes off mad. She arrives at Lauros house looking for Nadia and telling Mateo and Lauro with Rebbe in the background that Jules is messing with her man and that her promise is still in force and takes off. Later Jules arrives and Lauro tells her that she is doing wrong and that she has to do things the right way, or else. She understands what he was saying and looks at Sophias painting to give her some peace. Mateo tells Pedro that he is not doing things right an should not put Jules in that predicament. Later, Pedro tells his grandmother he loves Jules and Nadia slaps him because of what Javier told her. Genaro tell Carmina they need info on Nadia and tells her to try to get it from Javier, and she did more than that she bedded him and left the hotel and seeing Rosendo with a smile on his face,of course w/o her knowing it. The next day Pedro and Jules meet at the same place ans=d she tells him that they need to be apart until his divorce is final and he cant accept this and asks her to leave with him. At that Jules reminds her that is exactly what Gabe ask his mom to do and he should know what he felt like. He says he only knows he loves her and Jules tells him that she will always love him and gives him the brooch afirming that love and leaves him. Ale's father went to see Deigo saying he does not accuse him of Ales death and that he was never really sure that he was his son. Genaro and Carmina are in the office when the police arrive saying that Javier had been in jail and that he was married to Nadia and Genaro said"QUE"....
===
There was a confrontation between Cristobal and Nadia. Cristobal tells her that if she had any dignity (as she says) she would pack up and leave immediately because she knows that Pedro doesn't love her. All this does is make her mad and more determined than ever to keep Pedro away from Julietta.
Cristobal then tells her that the only reason Genaro wanted her at El Castillo and supported her marriage to Pedro was because he is in debt and needs her money (which, we know, she doesn't have) to pay his debts. Nadia is horror-stricken at this news, but Cristobal doesn't seem to notice.
It is after this that Nadia goes to confront Julietta at Gabriel's house.
The confrontation between Pedro and Nadia when he comes back from Julietta is wonderful/awful. Remember that Javier has called her and told her about P & J being together. She is furious and is waiting for him at the stable when he rides up. They get angrier and angrier with each other. He tells her to leave the ranch, that he doesn't love her, that he is going to divorce her and that he loves only Julietta. She threatens to spread gossip about J, accusing her of having numerous lovers - Gabriel, Benjamin, Cristobal, Javier, and Pedro. I think it was when she did this that Pedro actually reached out and put his hand over her face and pushed her back. For a second, I thought he was going to haul off and punch her in the face as he did Javier, and while I would have understood it, I'm glad he didn't.
===.!!) what happened with the Nadia and Julietta scene!! did Julieta return the slap! I hope so!
Nope. Unfortunatamente she didn't. Julietta just took it and said that Nadia was right. She looked at the doctor, gave a brief glance at Pedro and left. On her way out of the house she ran into Rebecca who had gone to the kitchen for ice and took Rebecca with her.
Everybody attends Ale's funeral. Cristobal looks kind of odd in his black leather motorcycle jacket and he is not speaking - he is so depressed and shocked at Ale's death. Benjamin and Arturo have been told by the sheriff that Ale was murdered, but most people don't know how she died yet. Genaro does and he confronts Rosendo, who denies that he did it.
Diego goes to the funeral and Sarah throws a fit, demanding that he leave. He does and he goes home. Magdalena tells him that Ale was murdered. I think he thought that she had killed herself and he felt guilty about that, but I may have mistranslated that conversation.
The sheriff interviews Javier, who denies knowing anything, but then Javier goes to El Castillo to see Rosendo and tells him that he saw him in the hotel at the time Ale was murdered. Rosendo denies it but Javier just laughs and says he knows what he saw. Rosendo asks him why he didn't tell the sheriff and he says that he wants a favor, laughs, and walks off, leaving Rosendo to wonder what he wants. Javier must be pretty stupid to threaten someone whom he knows is a murderer.
Pedro wakes up in his room and sees Nadia in a chair. She asks him how he feels and she tells him she sat up with him all night. He asks where his grandmother is and she tells him that everyone is gone except the two of them. "Where?" he asks and she tells him about Ale's funeral. He gets up and says he is going to the funeral. She argues and tells him he is too ill and should rest. He tells her that what she says is not important to him and to leave him alone. But when he leaves for the funeral she talks him into taking her. She promises not to say a word on the ride to town.
When they get to the church, Julietta and Benjamin are outside and J is hugging B to comfort him. J & P exchange a look. Nadia grabs his arm and N turns and goes back into the church. P and B hug. At the cemetary J & P stand on opposite sides of the group and exchange a glance or two. After the funeral Pedro visits Mateo. Mateo lectures him about how someone's death puts things into perspective and how we never know which day will be our last.
Meanwhile back at the ranch - Rebecca comes for Cristobal's therapy session. Dona Ofelia has a heart-to-heart talk w Nadia and asks her why she didn't let J look after P last night. Naida tells her how she feels about J & P. Ofelia tries to get her to see reason and go away but no luck. Nadia is not feeling well and has taken some pills and in one of her famous temper tantrums throws them across the floor.
Pedro comes home and runs into Rebecca on her way out. She asks him how he feels and he asks her who she is. She tells him that he wouldn't remember her from last night when he was running such a fever. She then tells thim that he called for J who came to see him and that Nadia made her leave. She also tells him that it is a shame that he's married because he and J make such a great couple. That and the news that J came last night make him smile. He goes looking for J and finds her by the river. He tells her that he loves her and knows she loves him and that Nadia is his wife in name only. She says that she in interested in Javier, but P grabs her and says that if that were true she wouldn't have come to take care of him last night. She pushes him away and he grabs his side and falls to his knees pretending that she hurt him. This, of course, brings her to her knees in front of him, apologizing, and unbuttoning his shirt to check on the injury and fussing at him all at the same time. He is smiling, which she doesn't notice. He holds her face in his hand and tells her to tell him that she doesn't love him and that she isn't dying for him to kiss her. She can't do that of course, because she is. The kiss on their knees and continue to kiss as they snuggle together among the leaves, under the trees. Very romantic, especially since we all know how short lived it will be.
==Javier has entered Julieta's with Pedro following -- this was the last scene the night before. Julieta answers Javier's question -- yes, she's interested. Pedro yells at her about receiving Javiet in her jammies, she pushes him out the door, calls him an imbecile -- pretty much what their relationship has been about up to this point. Javier is grinning only to have Julieta tell him she would not be interested if he were the last man on earth. She was only trying to stop Pedro. She throws him out. Pedro is waiting outside and pushes him around a bit, telling him to stay away from Julieta.
Back at el castillo, Cristobal is making plans for the rehabilitation. Nadia, Genaro and Carmina are scheming about how to make Pedro think that Cristobal is lying. Pedro isn't buying it. He is, however, clearly not getting any better.
He goes to see Benjamin to ask about a divorce and it's going to be harder than it seemed. Her pre-marital infidelity with his brother doesn't count. I'm not sure what happened to the annulment, but divorce is now being suggested. Carmina taunted Genaro also about the economic terms of the divorce and what it might cost the Valencias, especially if Nadia has nothing.
The therapist, Rebecca, learns more about Rocio and the rest of the gang. She and Rocio seem to have made peace. Ofelia lends Julieta money to get the consultorio up and running. She also tells Julieta that Pedro is divorcing Nadia, and Julieta realizes that once again she has blown it with Pedro.
Rosendo once again tries to do some violence to Lauro, but Padre Mateo saves the day. Mateo has just left el castillo after exchanging some nasty words with Genaro, who threatens him if he tries to but into Genaro's manipulation of his sons.
The big story of the night is that Magdalena confronts Arturo, threatening to tell his family that Diego is Arturo's son. Arturo promises to take charge of the affair, but he wants to do so by sending Alejandra away. She runs to Benajim's hotel room where she is killed by Rosendo, who has been sent by Genaro to make clear to Benjamin that he can't make accusations against Genaro. So Rosenda once again screws up, going too far, and he gets the wrong person.
Benjamin and his father discover the body, but Julieta declares Alejandra dead. She is in the hotel returning flowers to Javier and telling him once more to stay away from her.
The previews ask who will be blamed; show Pedro with a raging fever, calling out Julieta's name while Nadia tells she will never let him reuinte with Julieta.
===
let's see where did it end,oh yeah......Pedro was ticked off at both his daddy and bro for letting him marry a woman who ain't worth diddley and for losing the woman he loves. He was very angry with his bro for not being honest with him and then left to find Nadia and he told her off by saying he knows the truth and wants to annul the mariage. She says no, but he don't care. And he takes o to see his uncle for the same reason and Mateo tells him that he tried but was under oath and well he should not blame his bro Nadia is to blae for as well as his pop. Jules went to find Rebecca at the hotel and found out that she is not staying ther and figured she was with Lauro and ran into Javier who wanted to get nice with her but she told him off and took off. Ofelia went to Lauros house and needed to talk to Jules since she was not at her house and Lauro introduced Rebecca saying she will be theone to help Cristobal. Diego called Ale out to see a movie and she sneaked out to meet him there, Benjamin left the house because his dad kicked him out even though his mom tried her best to keep him there, and she told him that her kids dont love him and wanted to prove this to him by caling her daughter but she was no where to be found. Diego and Ale were walking out by the plaza and he wanted to see her again and she said yes and he kissed her and she kissed him back, they looked good together. Jules was waliking in the pueblo alone at night and Javier saw her and stopped her to offer her a ride but she said no until Rosendo asked what she was doing and said she was not alone and Javier took her to GAbe house. He wanted to see her againd an she said why not and he took her bracelet w/o her knowing so that he could see her agian. She eners the house and was mad at Lauro for not taking her friend to the hotel but he said he has forgotten that he was alone and she has no right to talk to him like that and she understood and left them to talk alone. Rebecca asked what happened and wanted to know everything. Genaro went to tell Nadia that to not give up on Pedro, make him believe that it was all a lie on Cristobals part, when Ofelia slaps Nadia telling her to leave her house, being that her grandson told her what went on between them. But Genaro said she can't do that and anyway Nadia said she is Pedros wife and will not leave the house at all. The next day both bro's make up and Cristobal tells him to go find Jules he loves her and she does too and Jules wakes up alone in her room Rocio not in sight and Javier enters the house to find Jules in her pajamas and gives her the bracelet back, he wants a chance with her and she was about to say no I think when Pedro showed up and told her to answer, he wanted to know the answer as well. So she says she was going to give Javier a chance and it ended there.
===
Benjamin overhears his father and Genaro talking about buying Julieta's property by mortgaging Ofelia's property. Since she's not agreeable, they would have to cook something up. Benjamin breaks into the room and denounces them both for being such crooks.
Cristobal runs into Rocio who says she's going to do everything she can to help his recovery. She says she's no longer in love with him, but still cares about him very much. On her way out of the ranch Genaro sees her and tries to force himself on her. Carmina catches him and berates him. Later, in their bedroom he insults her by saying she was never as pretty as Rocio.
One of Julieta's friends (she must be a doctor) appears and she's introduced to Rocio as the one who's going to help with Cristobal's recovery. Rocio gets angry.
Nadia assails Pedro about abandoning her. He says he wants to go on the honeymoon cruise after all. The maid comes in and says Benjamin is here to see him. Benjamin tells Pedro about the mortgage and cheating Ofelia. Pedro confronts Genaro who denies it, but just then Cristobal comes in and confirms that it is true that the land is mortgaged. When Pedro asks him why he never told him, he says he wanted to but Genaro was blackmailing him not to say anything. He then confesses to Pedro that Genaro was in a hurry for Pedro to marry Nadia in order to save the ranch with her money. Then he says that he and Nadia had had an intimate relationship....
Today should be pretty good when Pedro confronts Nadia.
===
Nadia's father never aprooved her marriage to Javier.
Ofcourse, she did what she wanted anyway. Since the man was rich, they decided to rob him. When daddy learned the truth about his daughter, he had a heart attack or something, well, he died. javier ended up in jail and Nadia managed to blame it all on him. She left him rot there and she escaped.
Now, he came back with a vengance...
== Who is that man that threaten Nadia? What does he want?
It so happens that Nadia was maried to that guy and he came by to tell her that it has not ben a year since they got a divorce and she can't get married to Pedro. It seems she got a divorce from him while he was in jail for a crime that the both did, I think they killed her dad. BUt she said that she will make it up for him once she marries Pedro and will pay him for his silence. It also sems that she has no money of her own and is there for the Valencia money...hope this answers some of your questions...
==
Yes, she finishes dressing the wound and has him hooked up to the IV. I can't remember if he says anything beyond thank you, but he looks at her longingly as Nadia looks on with venom. As Julieta leaves, Nadia grabs her arm to tell her not to come back. Julieta explains that if she is attending Pedro, she is coming back. Ofelia escorts her out, sharing daggers at Ofelia, and suggests that Julieta and Rocio, two such pretty young women, be escorted home instead of walking by themselves.
Rocio had run over to el castillo when she thought that Cristobal was wounded. She was relieved to hear that it was Pedro and that he would recover. She was chased off to the kitchen by Carmina. There Magdalena tells her how happy she is that Diego is seeing Rocio. M. says further that she is so proud of him, as he grew up with her bad example and is such a good person. Rocio assures her that Diego is very proud of M.
When Julieta and Rocio return home, Juan (her dad) is fit to be tied that Rocio was at el Castillo. He warns her that Genaro will spread rumors about her, etc. Julieta hears for the first time that Genaro abused Rocio. She tells Rocio that she shoud have denounced Genaro, and Rocio explains why she can't, given Genaro's power.
At the police station, el jefe, who investigated Sofia's death, is told that there was a crank call from someone (Nadia) who hung up, left no name, but said that Cristobal Valencia had shot his brother Pedro. El jefe says that this must be taken seriously and obviously intends to pursue it.
And you got that ARturo visited Magdalena to speak about Alejandra and Diego. Magdalena corrects him, and says that Diego is not only her son, but his as well.
There may be more -- every twenty minutes is action-packed in this novela.
