Tonio asks Raquel for a divorce

Ramon is  surprised  when Raquel hangs  up all of a sudden. Vicky asked him what Raquel wanted and was outraged to hear she'd asked for Max's address. Evil Max urged Raquel to let him help her out financially even if she was angry with him, Raquel flatly turned him down, preferring to wait for Humberto. However, to carry out her trap- she asked him to meet her at a nearby bar for drinks later. Max was very pleased, thinking things was heading his way at last (yeah, SURE...)
Vicky angrily told Camilla what Raquel had asked for; wondering how she had the nerve to ask for it. While Tonio is still discussing the divorce and possible financial settlement, Camilla calls to tell and told Raquel's call.  Tonio was silent but his expression said it all.  

 Daniel feels Raquel is  wasting her time and  they should just go home instead, but Raquel is adamant about clearing her name to Tonio first. She was going to prove that Max was Roberto Aguirre. 

 There's a knock on the door; it' s Rodrigo, he wanted to see how she was and take her out but she claimed tiredness. Max interrupted their conversation and jealously asked her what Rod wanted. 

Raquel went back to the hospital and obtained Meche's address from Gabriel. Max, angry that Raquel refused to let him help her, spitefully told Oscar that Raquel was planning on asking Humberto for money. Raquel got to Meche's house and told her of the plan, Max was going to meet with her that evening and Meche will hide at the back and get a good look at him. They are suddenly interrupted by Tonio, who dragged Raquel out with him for a private talk, to Meche's distress. Tonio tells her to come to the house that evening. 

 Rod confabs with Claudio on his plan to frame Raquel for Tonio's murder. Claudio is uncomfortable at the idea, Rod warns him of the consequences if he tried to double cross him by telling anyone.  

Oscar calls Humberto to delay his return to Acapulco by asking to handling some business. 

Back at the hotel, Tonio and Raquel have another fight. He demanded to know what she was doing at Meche's house, she told him it wasn't his business, he can't order her around. Tonio felt they could reach an amicable arrangement if she told him the truth, she won't go to jail if so.  Raquel, who didn't seem to grasp the notion  that  lying to Tonio and keeping things from him caused him to distrust her completely, is immediately defensive. What she  told him about Max's plot from the very beginning WAS the truth. But Tonio simply wanted to force her to say what he wanted to hear, that she was Max's accomplice the whole time and she's been sleeping with him, or that Roberto Aguirre was her other lover. None of it was true. 

To make matters worse, Daniel comes in and drunkenly asks if Max was around, then leaves.  Furious, Tonio accuses Raquel of still cheating on him with Max, why else did she call the house to obtain his number.  Raquel is tired of arguing with him- he could believe whatever he chose and do what he chose.  

Tonio said he had started divorce proceedings and she wasn't going to get  anything  from him. Raquel proudly said she's prepared to sign the divorce papers, she didn't want a dime of his money  and ordered  him to get out of her room.  

Later, Raquel called Humberto's place again but the house staff tells her he's still not back. Daniel and Martha are alarmed when Raquel suddenly goes pale and collapses, stressed out from her fight with Tonio and weak from malnutrition. 

 Maura gleefully tells Carla that Tonio and Raquel were  getting a divorce. 

Daniel and Martha get Raquel into bed; Martha said Raquel looked frail and very pale- she hadn't been eating. They try to get her to go out to dinner but Raquel opted to rest instead. 

Tonio angrily gets back to the mansion and told Vicky he and Raquel were definitely over, the divorce was now in motion. Max suddenly enters the living room and it was the last straw; Tonio ordered him to get out of his house! Vicky is very distressed as Max walks out. 

Meche is on her way to the house to tell Tonio  the whole story and what Raquel was planning, in the hope it would bring the couple back together. 

Oh dear... Max saw her and roughly dragged her to a dark corner, demanding to know why she was there.
