Tonio gets a shock


Chucho defends Meche, insisting her friend Julia had approached her in the first place.  Tonio is tired of the lies and demands that Meche tell him the whole truth or he will turn her over to the police. 

Martha was surprised when Raquel told her she wasn’t going to tell Tonio about their baby and she must not tell their father either. Too late, because Daniel came in and expressed his joy over her pregnancy, the doctor had told him downstairs and unfortunately, Evil Max was there. Martha wasn’t pleased that Raquel wasn’t going to use this development to either get Tonio back or a huge settlement from him.

Evil Max  buys food for Raquel  and makes her eat it. However, she makes it clear to him nothing was going to come out of it; she’d stopped loving him a long time ago. Max, still  bent on breaking Tonio and Raquel for good, tells her Tonio hired Roberto Aguirre to harm her, so as to find an excuse to divorce her. When Raquel accuses him of lying to her again, he said he was going to present her with proof. 


Maura comes to the house and persuades Tonio to go out with her to a bar, where he paid her little attention.  

 At Meche’s house, over their simple dinner,  Meche told Chucho that Roberto Aguirre was at the mansion and  had threatened her  life and her brother’s, much to his amazement. How could he be at Tonio's house? Meche baffled him more when she told him she had seen also  him at Raquel's hotel and was introduced as Max Albeniz. Roberto and Max were the same man! Meche is horrified to learn that Max was Tonio's step brother. However, she was far too scared to tell Raquel and Tonio the truth, not with his threats. Chucho asked her to find out how Julia came to be acquainted with him in the first place. 

Raquel and the family discuss on the next line of action; going home. Daniel said the last time he’d paid the rent was before he left Guadalajara with Raquel and Tonio so at least they’ll still have the apartment and Raquel was sure her boss, who’s always been kind to her would give her old job back. Only Martha is pissed off at the whole thing but Raquel wasn't going to let Tonio take her child from her and refused to remain married to a man who didn't trust her. Martha suggested they use the Lombardo name to get jobs but Raquel refuses to use a name they have no right to use.  Their experience may have been a fun  vacation to her and their father, while she is pregnant and about to be divorced. 


Breakfast at the mansion, Tonio and Andres discuss Alejandra's shady car racer boyfriend she refuses to dump. Tonio remarked that love made a person blind, like he was with Raquel. He suggested that Andres offers the man money, if he can't convince Alejandra to forget about him. 

 Alejandra went out, accompanied by Chucho, to see Raquel. 

Raquel tells the doctor she understands what he's telling her but she would have to work soon. The  doctor pointed out   that her health wasn't so good, if she stressed herself with a job, she could lose the baby or her own life.

 Tonio tells Ramon that one of his check books was missing and Ramon promised to check with the servants.

Meche asks Julia how she had met Roberto Aguirre in the first place and Julia tells her, her husband (the man who had pretended to be knocked down by Martha) had done some work for him, but didn't know what. Julia needed to find him, she wanted her money he promised. 

 Alejandra and Chucho are told by Martha at the hotel that Raquel was pregnant and had gone to the doctor's. Max meets with Julia with her balance and asked her to do him one more favour.

Raquel is very pleased to see Alejandra again. Alejandra again brings up Raphael, whom she's still anxious to marry. Raquel points out she hardly knows him, hence her opinion in the matter does not hold weight. Alejandra pleads with her, she had no one else to help her. She also reminded Raquel that despite the allegations against her, she always believed in her innocence. And people were wrong about her Raphael the same way. Was she not her friend then? Raquel affirmed it, and advised her to convince her parents of Raphael's sincerity if he's really the one for her. Alejandra proposed that she stayed with Raquel until the wedding was settled, she was old school enough to not want to live with her boyfriend until they were man and wife. Raquel is not certain Alejandra's parents would approve of that, but her young friend is optimistic, as she is still Tonio's wife. Raquel tells her of her impending return to Guadalajara, but Alejandra is undaunted, she will go with her. 


 Alejandra is surprised when Max entered the room briefly but believed Raquel after she said it wasn't what it looked like. Chucho and Daniel meanwhile go for a drink. 

 Max brings Julia to Raquel along with a check supposedly signed by Tonio, paying Roberto Aguirre to help  lie about Martha being the one who ran Gabriel down, as an excuse to divorce Raquel.

 Raquel couldn't believe Tonio would do such a thing to her but Julia, egged on by Max insisted it was true.  On getting back to the house, Alejandra called her father in Miami and asked him to wire a huge sum of money to her as soon as possible; she wanted to buy a whole new wardrobe. Not true, the money was actually for Raquel because Raquel had told her she was still waiting for Humberto to come home and assist her. Andres overheard her phone conversation.

Ramón complained to Tonio that Chucho was constantly going out and neglecting his duties and he'd just returned, rather drunk. Tonio broke up a fight between him and Ramon and  summoned him to the living room  to straighten the matter out. Chucho explained that Alejandra had asked him to escort her to see Raquel.

 Tonio lied that Alejandra had already told him; he wanted to hear his own version or he'll fire him.  Chucho then told him and Andres that Mrs. Raquel looked very pale and ill; they had met her just returning from the doctor’s. Concerned, Tonio asked what was wrong with her. Chucho thought Alejandra had told him so with a shrug he said, ‘Well... a child...’

Tonio is shocked. 'Raquel, is pregnant?' he asked.
Chucho nodded. Andres looked at his friend's stunned face.
What would Tonio do now? Raquel was carrying his child and he's already asked her for a divorce!!!

  1. I love this telenovela and especially the episodes around Tonio finding out about the pregnancy... one can imagine how he must have felt - knowing tha she was pregnant while he insulted her and asked for divorce without alimony. Thanks for your blog, i enjoy reading the episodes :*
