SNIPPET: A SHOCK FOR JOSE

Nattie visits Lorenzo at the office and almost tells him about the relationship between Silvia and Laura after he mentions the TV message. When he leaves the room, she calls Conan to look for him at Lorenzo’s house. Laura warmly welcomes José back but insults him by offering him a check in exchange for something(I don’t know what, the audio was bad) whatever it was shocked him very much. Mimi goes to see Tony who is overjoyed when she tells him to speed up the day of their wedding. Hurt and angry, José tears up the check and leaves. Hercules returns home very tired, but refuses to tell his gossipy wife anything. Conan finds José just leaving the house. He introduces himself as Hercules’ son and José is very pleased to meet him, explaining why he’d left the first hotel. Conan gives him the money as instructed.
Lorenzo gets home and a tearful Laura tells him more lies. Lysette is given the news by Mimi and Tony about pushing up their wedding day. Conan says goodbye to José at the airport after a long conversation. Jose calls Alex on the cell phone he still had with him , to say goodbye. Alex desperately tells him not to leave the country; because he had another daughter!( oh, Alex… Hercules WILL KILL YOU DEAD!)

SNIPPET: ALEX IS VERY INTEFERING!

Hercules is really horrified, why of all women did Laura have to be Silvia’s sister? Conan wonders how his late aunt could have gotten involved with such a shady character in the first place and goes out to look for him, warning Hercules NOT to tell E.P about this recent development. Tony refuses to accept money from Lorenzo for the shirt he bought but Lorenzo disapproves, it didn’t set a good example. Tony also apologizes to him about his rude attitude when Giacormo was at the hospital and reveals that it had been Laura who had suggested that he and Orlando were behind the accident because he had refused to testify against Laura.
Mimi and E.P wonder why Alex looks so happy all of a sudden; he merely tells them Silvia was on her way to accept him for good(in your dreams fool, she loves Lorenzo). E.P thinks he’s high on something while Mimi calls him delusional.
Laura puts on a sickly martyr act as she speaks to the journalist who had interviewed José, she denies throwing him out, insisting he had misunderstood her. She films her own version of the whole story, asking him to come home.(what a bitch!)
Nattie asks Silvia to tell Lorenzo what Laura did, but Silvia doesn’t feel she has anything to gain and he already knows the type of woman he was married to and he was only with her because of the baby.(at least she knows he still loves her) but her cousin insists that Lorenzo was more than ready to leave Laura and marry Silvia-there were many divorced fathers. Silvia however wants him to have access to his child, if they got back together Laura would spite him by not allowing him to see the child. Silvia longs very much to know her own father. Nattie is about to tell her the secret but Conan interrupts her. After Silvia leaves the room, he scolds Nattie severely then tells her who Silvia’s sister actually is.
Lorenzo returns home as the interview rounds off but refuses to comment when asked to, it was between Laura and José. He’s disgusted at her method, calling it overdramatic and convenient for her.
Alex calls José, who is expecting his ticket back to Venezuela. He’s not interested in Alex’s surprise but Alex insists. Nattie looks at José’s photo in the paper, filled with shock that Silvia’s sister was actually that horrible Laura, all the more reason Silvia must never know. Conon resumes his search.
Lorenzo confronts Laura on what she’d told Tony. She admits it but claimed she’d been very angry with him back then. He remarked that it was getting more difficult everyday for him to believe anything she says now.
Alex tells Silvia he had something to tell her but she is in a hurry and goes out. Hercules tells Alex he was making a fool of himself with the way he was harassing Silvia who does NOT want to get back with him, urges him to leave her alone. But the stupid fool insists he was this close to winning her back. Conan phones to tell his father he still can’t find him. As Hercules leaves to join in the search, Alex smiles smugly since he’s the only one who knows where José was. Lorenzo acts very coldly towards Laura who accuses him of treating her badly. Jose sees the message on TV and is very happy. He phones Alex just as he’s talking to Silvia, telling him that his daughter had forgiven him and he was on his way back to her house. Despite Alex’s protests he hangs up, to Alex’s fury. Silvia is very confused at his weird attitude.

SNIPPET: A VERY, VERY SHOCKING DISCOVERY!

Laura watches Silvia warily as she left the office. Lorenzo coldly refuses to allow Gloria help her look for her father as she’s very busy. Tony tells Mimi he’s now sure Conan was in love with her, but Mimi doesn’t believe it. Gloria tells Isabella about Lorenzo’s attitude towards Laura and the conversation she’d heard between Laura and Orlando-which Isabella finds ‘juicy’ and a future form of ammunition. E. P is amazed at what Hercules tells her, his visitor had been Silvia’s father! She urges him to tell Silvia about it but he’s bound by his promise to Mechita , a promise like that didn’t have an expiry date. It would do more harm than good for Silvia to meet him since he is an ex-convict. But E. P still feels it’s unfair to her and gets more surprised to hear that Jose doesn’t even know she exists at all, Mechita never got the chance to tell him she was carrying his baby! Unknown to them both, Alex is listening to the whole thing…
Hercules gives his children the shocking news.
Isabella assures Lorenzo, when asked that ,she didn’t know where Jose was. She goes through Silvia’s clothes, pronouncing them as ‘excellent quality.’
Nattie and Conan aren’t pleased at their father’s decision and are shocked to hear Jose didn’t even know she existed and that Silvia had an unknown half-sister. Hercules asks them both for money to buy a pane ticket for him. They aren’t happy but obey him all the same. Conan is sent to the hotel. Meanwhile , Jose gets a visitor, Alex.
Mimi thinks over what Tony had said about Conan, wondering if it was true. Silvia receives a surprise visitor-Laura. Laura tells her to stay away from her husband on her child’s behalf. Silvia is disgusted at Laura’s attempt to use her child as a trump card, calling her ‘a snake’. Laura gets angry and sneeringly asks if by selling her rags, she’ll be a big name. In return , Silvia points out at least she didn’t have to hide her past like Laura and with the speed of lightning grabs her fist when the stupid woman attempts to hit her, warning her not to try it. Laura vowed to pay her out. (So much for asking for forgiveness).
Conan finds the hotel room empty!
Lorenzo goes to the boutique and congratulates Tony on the good sales.
Alex moves José to a new hotel and gives him a cell phone to call him when necessary- adding that he had someone very special he wants him to meet(in order to make Silvia love him again no doubt, but Hercules will KILL him for this interference).
Isabella receives more info from Antonia, laving before Laura could see her. Laura is informed that a journalist had showed up to interview her about her father.
Silvia is surprised that her uncle had postponed his honeymoon and tells Nattie about Laura’s visit, feeling very sorry for Lorenzo. Conan tells his father he could not find José. Conan returns to tell his father he could not find José but is ready to go and look for him. Hercules begins to describe him. Conan listens and is filled with horror- he shows him the day’s paper which had a photo of Laura’s long lost father and his interview, asking if this was the man he was describing. Hercules sees that it was!
He said faintly, ‘ Silvia and Laura are BLOOD SISTERS…?’
(What a SECRET to hide from Silvia! What will she say? What will Laura say? What will Isabella say? Most important, what will LORENZO say, he’s married to one sister but very much in love with the other sister!)

SNIPPET: A SUSPICIOUS THOUGHT...

Lorenzo angrily confronts Laura over news on TV and in the papers but the shameless liar denies throwing Jose out.
Tony accuses Conan of being in love with Mimi when the latter points out that Mimi wasn’t comfortable about his sudden proposal. Conan strongly denies it, however.
Hercules takes Jose away to a coffee house to talk. Silvia brings some samples of her clothes to Lorenzo’s office. He’s very pleased to see her and asks her to see him for a few minutes, which she reluctantly agrees to. Jose told Hercules about how his daughter had thrown him out but didn’t blame her as he hadn’t been a good father to hear and is sad to hear from Hercules that Mechita was dead. Hercules gives him some money to get a room at a nearby hotel.
Silvia is shocked to hear from Lorenzo that Laura had thrown her father out of the house. He also told her he was unhappy and relationship with Laura was complicated. Silvia reminded him again that she’d been abandoned by her own father, he couldn’t abandon his. Lorenzo doesn’t see why he couldn’t raise his child without having to live with a woman he no longer loved. Silvia merely looks at him sadly.
Laura tells Orlando she’ll never forgive him for acting as Isabella’s lawyer, especially after the time they had shared, which Orlando refuses to talk about. Gloria overhears that part from the door. She enters and Laura asks her to help find her father. E.P is furious Hercules was still not back and calls Isabella to vent her annoyance. Hercules enters and E.P is surprised to see him looking so shocked. As Silvia receives the contracts from Lorenzo, Lorenzo wants her to stay a while longer. But before she can reply, Laura enters the office.

SNIPPET: A SUPRISE VISITOR

Jose is stunned but leaves when he’s told to. He goes to Isabella, who convinces him to appear on a TV interview, pleading his case. Laura in the meantime, lies to Lorenzo that her father had abandoned her again. At the wedding reception, Tony stuns everyone by asking Mimi to marry him, she says yes and kisses him. Everyone whoops and cheers, except Conan, who wore a weird look on his face.
Jose’s TV interview is broadcasted and Lorenzo sees it. He is furious that Laura had lied to him, AGAIN!
Jose is angry also, the reporter had twisted his words, making it look like his daughter was a monster; he calls Isabella an evil person and leaves, despite her reminder he had no money.
The following morning Hercules prepares to leave for his honeymoon when Jose enters, warmly greeting him. Alex is there and is introduced as of Hercules' gym students. Hercules is clearly not pleased to see him.

SNIPPET: LAURA'S TERRIBLE SHOCK AND HERCULES' WEDDING

Isabella has lunch with Jose, then takes him to Giacormo’s boutique to buy him some new clothes, much to Conan’s astonishment.
That night, the dinner party is going on well, then Isabella walks in with Jose. Laura is shocked! Jose is overjoyed to see his beautiful daughter after so long, who struggles to keep a happy face. Mimi and Tony snigger at the whole thing. Silvia walks in to find Orlando forcibly kissing Nattie, she slaps him and orders him to leave. She admits to Silvia that the kiss hadn’t disgusted her at all(ugh, NATTIE!). E.P wants to go and live with Hercules but Hercules prefer to live with her after they are married, especially after she still expects him to pay rent to her.
Jose congratulates Laura when she tells him she’s pregnant. Lorenzo coldly asks Isabella to leave- she tells him José was an ex convict, he should watch out and takes her leave, laughing derisively when he tells her to go, she wasn’t welcome. She says goodbye to Laura but Laura strikes her on the face instead, which shocks Jose, he thought they were best friends. Lorenzo takes his wife to bed, she feels ill again.
Lorenzo gives Laura some medicine and urges her to sleep. She tries to explain why she never mentioned Jose, she had thought he was dead.
Mimi bursts in to tell Silvia and Nattie what had happened at the dinner party – the return of Laura’s ex-con father after they had all been told by Laura she was an orphaned society lady. Isabella and Gloria laugh over the success of Isabella’s plan; not caring what Lorenzo would do. Mimi tells Hercules, E.P and Alex but Hercules doesn’t find it at all funny, they shouldn’t rejoice in such things. E.P remembers seeing the man with Isabella when she’d gone to the suite to invite her to the wedding.
Jose anxiously asks after Laura and is told she’s asleep. Lorenzo asks him to tell him all about himself. Jose revealed the family had been poor, Laura had to live with an aunt and he hadn’t seen her for 10 years. He also told Lorenzo she’d been using her mother’s maiden name as she was ashamed of his.
Silvia tells Conan about the dinner party fiasco; he remembers the man he’d seen with Isabella, laughing over Laura’s long pretence of being high society. But Silvia feels envious as she regarded it as a miracle, Laura’s father suddenly appearing back in her life, wishing it would happen to her also.
The following morning, everyone arranges the gym for the wedding ceremony. Nattie is still furious over the whole thing but Silvia points out Hercules was happy and should consider him at least.
The wedding takes place successfully, E.P looked lovely in a royal blue suit and matching scarf.
After Lorenzo goes to work, Laura angrily throws Jose out , shouting she never wanted to see him again.

SNIPPET: THE MYSTERIOUS TELEGRAM SENDER

Mimi tells Silvia she’ll be happy if she and her brother got back together since he seems to have changed but Silvia refuses to entertain it. She is visibly jealous when Silvia tells her Conan was out on a date with Lysette. Laura tells Lorenzo she won’t be inviting Orlando to the party, which he agrees with, he still isn’t happy about what he did. She will be inviting Gloria, Tony and Mimi instead.
Mimi told Alex about her conversation with Silvia; he still refuses to give up on the hope that Silvia will completely forgive him. They are both cross to see Hercules leaving their momsie’s room.
Tony tells his father over the phone that Isabella had been released. Conan congratulates Tony on his video release and new job. Lorenzo angrily confronts Orlando over defending Isabella without consulting him, he hadn’t acted as a friend at all. Orlando calmly explained he had done it for the good of the company and besides that, there was not enough evidence. Isabella bursts into the office and added her own words; she was not a killer, why didn’t he trust her at all? She also adds Orlando had merely looked out for her interests, Lorenzo walks out, accusing them of ganging up against him.
Mimi goes to the boutique to see Tony but finds only Conan. Gloria congratulates Isabella on her freedom and guessed she was planning something nasty for Laura to pay her out for having her arrested. She also tells her about the dinner party, which Isabella finds ridiculous and is certain Laura would still miscarry. Tony goes to see Laura again and she invites him and Mimi to the dinner party after he passes on his father’s message. Laura phones Silvia and also invites her to the party, to her astonishment. However Silvia refuses, saying she was very busy. Nattie and Alex regard Laura as crazy for suggesting a thing in the first place.
The investigator arrives at Isabella’s suite, with a short old man with a hard face- Laura’s popsie!

They exchange greetings; the investigator had already told him she was Laura’s best friend and confidant and apparently, his letters to Laura had gotten lost. Isabella takes Jose to lunch. Orlando asks Lorenzo if he was still angry with him; Lorenzo urges to tell him first before doing things like that again, going behind his back and besides, Isabella was not above the law. He then turns back to work, reminding Orlando they were risking their assets in this deal. Orlando smiles smugly-he knows better now, thanks to Isabella’s deal. Tony returns to the boutique and tells Mimi, who is still there, about Laura’s invitation. Conan doesn’t feel it was advisable to get close to Laura. Lorenzo sees Silvia again, to give her a vital document to sign. She tells him about Laura’s invitation, which he finds inappropriate. Exchange of looks again before he left.
