EPISODE 91

 

`

Sometime later, at Emma's house, she hears a knock on the door and goes to open it. She is shocked and afraid when an armed man barges into her house, followed by Horacio. She stares at them full of fear.

 

Meanwhile, John calls Aranza. She is always happy to hear from him. She cannot explain or understand how she feels around him. He makes her feel loved and protected, like the father she would have loved to have. She feels like they have so much in common. She asks him how he is doing.

 

He says he is fine, but he is just worried about the treatment not working. He says he doesn't want to spend the rest of his life in the mental hospital. Aranza tells him to be calm and to relax, and that even if it doesn't work, they can always try again later. She says that it might not work on the first try but he should have faith.

 

Back at Emma's house,

She has been tied down and Horacio is sitting on a chair opposite her. Emma asks him what he wants. Horacio looks at her with menacing eyes. He says that knowing too much can be dangerous. Emma asks him what he is talking about. Horacio stands and walks the short distance towards her. He grabs her by the hair rather painfully and Emma winces. Horacio tells her that he isn't stupid and that she shouldn't waste his time. Horacio then adds that they both know what he is talking about. Emma is terrified and starts crying. She again asks Horacio what he wants.

 

Elsewhere, Clara and Luisa are at Armando and Luisa's home,

Clara gives Luisa a stern look and tells her to take good care of her grandchild. She then says that she is not going back to her home yet because she will be bored alone. She adds that she would rather spend more time with her. Luisa smiles. What a mother-in-law she has.

 

Back at Montes De Alba inc,

Carlos is in his office when he has a flashback, of Gabriel working at the office many years ago. He says that he will have the company. He says that he got rid of him and his two eldest children and he will do the same with Aranza and if necessary Helena.

 

Back at Emma's house,

Horacio tells her that unless she wants to die she should mind her own business. Horacio says that they can find her anywhere and getting rid of her will be easy. Emma says that she will keep quiet. Horacio tells her that he would rather have her dead but she is lucky that for some reason Marianna has a soft spot for Martin and wouldn't do anything to hurt him. Emma glares at Horacio. He then strokes her face and she recoils in disgust.

 

Later on in the night, at Armando and Luisa's house,

As they are having dinner. Armando asks her what the doctor said about his mother's health. Luisa says that his mother is healthy and fine. Armando looks at her again. He asks her if she is fine. She says she is. He says she looks different, a little pale. He asks her if his mother took her along in her meddling. Luisa says that she didn't.

 

She then takes a deep breath and says that she fainted and his mother dragged her to be checked. Armando smiles. He says that sounds like something his mother would do because she has always been particular about health. He then asks her what the doctor told her. Luisa fiddles and tells Armando to put his glass of water down then says that she is pregnant. Armando looks at her shocked.

 

The next day on Thursday,

At the hospital, John begins his treatment. They first show him footage and pictures of car accidents and car wreckages and watch for his reaction to each image. One particular image of a car rolling down and nearly reaching a river before bursting into flames catches his eye. The doctor notes that down.

 

They then show him pictures of different beverages, followed by pictures of his favorite brand ( they had learnt that when he told them himself). He looks at the pictures calmly. They then show him pictures of two random six-year-olds, one a boy, the other a girl, playing. He looks at those pictures even more keenly than he did with the other pictures.

 

Elsewhere at Montes De Alba inc,

Emma is back at work. Gina looks at her friend worried. What is it? Why is Emma acting so weird? Gina asks herself if Emma and Martin are having problems.

 

Meanwhile, Armando calls Aurelio. He then asks Aurelio if he is free later that evening. Aurelio says he is. Armando asks him if he can pass by for a little while because his mother needs to tell him something. Aurelio says that his mother told him that she took his grandmother for a check-up and then asks if his grandmother is okay. Armando assures Aurelio that his grandmother is okay and that no one is sick. Aurelio, then asks him what happened and his father says that they will talk later.

 

Meanwhile, Isabella, Alejandro, and Horacio are in Alejandro's office. Horacio has just updated them on his 'visit' to Emma's house. Isabella asks him if they think the threats will work on Emma and keep her quiet. Horacio says that they can never be sure, but the threats buy them some time, to decide whether to leave it at that or to kill her. He adds that if they do wait and then proceed, it will be easier to convince Marianna that they didn't kill her. Alejandro agrees that it's the best solution at the moment because Marianna and her soft spot for Martin could be a problem.

 

Meanwhile,

Hector walks over to the garden and finds Gina. He sits near her and asks her how she is. She says she's fine. Hector folds his hands and gives her an I don't believe your look. He says that he knows her too well and can tell when she is lying. Gina takes a deep breathe and looks at her brother. She says that she was just thinking about things. Hector asks her what exactly she was thinking about. Gina says that she was just thinking about what will happen in the future when everyone knows who they are.

 

Hector asks her if she means Adrianna, Antonio, and Aranza. Gina nods. Hector puts an arm around her. He says that it will be hard, because they will be hurt, but the two of them will get through it and anything else that comes together. Gina says she knows that but sometimes it gets so hard. She adds that the guilt every time she looks at Aranza, Antonio, or Adrianna is sometimes overwhelming. Hector says that he understands her. He then hugs her.

 

At the end of the day,

Emma is the last one in her office to leave. She is about to go, when Martin comes into the office, and asks her if she is alone. She says she is. She adds that she was just finishing up on a few things. Martin moves near her and looks at her. Emma asks him why he is looking at her so strangely. He asks her if she is fine. Emma increases the distance between them and says that she is fine, but she is just a little tired. Martin doesn't believe her and says that she has been acting weird since they went to the club, and the drunk person told her something.

 

Martin then asks her what that person told her that has her acting all weird. Emma remembers Horacio's threats, and when he said that if it wasn't for Marianna having feelings for Martin, she would be dead. Martin calls Emma, to bring her back to the present. He tells her that she can trust him with whatever it is she knows or is going through. Emma says that she knows that but she is fine. Martin kisses her and she kisses him back.

 

Elsewhere,

Antonio is still in his cubicle at the office. Each day living in the same house as Isabella is pure torture and hell. She drives him more insane each day. Just then Aranza calls him. He smiles then picks up. After she greets him. He pretends to be annoyed and asks her what she did this time. Aranza rolls her eyes and says that she is a good girl. She then asks him, if she could come over, and stay the night.

 

Antonio asks her what happened with Aurelio. Aranza says that nothing happened and that they are fine. She adds that Aurelio's parents wanted to talk to him, and she suggested he stays there overnight and spend some time with them. She also says that she didn't want to stay alone because it isn't fun. Antonio says that it's okay and that she is always welcome. He says someone needs to keep an eye on her so that she doesn't fall into mischief. Aranza tells him that he is nuts.

 

Sometime later the Mental hospital,

Aranza and Gina are with John, while Hector and Anna Patricia, are with the doctor getting updates. The doctor, says that so far so good. He adds that they showed him various pictures hoping to trigger memories and watch his reactions. The doctor then says that what stood out most is his reaction to being shown pictures of two 6-year-old children ( one boy, one girl) and his reaction to a particular movie scene where a car rolled down a hill, and burst into flames, before reaching a river. Anna Patricia asks why these two particularly stood out.

 

The doctor, says that from his reaction to the accident, they believe that the video they showed him is close to what happened to him if not the same thing and that somewhere in his subconscious, he knows or remembers the accident that nearly killed him. Hector is a little shocked and afraid. He asks himself what would happen if his father remembered everything at that moment. He also asks himself how much his father could remember. The doctor continues and says from John's reaction to the pictures of the two children, it is most likely that they reminded him of his children.

 

Hector asks the doctor if there was any reason he chose to use six-year-olds. The doctor says that since John is very close to both him and his cousin Gina, he used their ages as the basis for going back and estimating what age the children John talks about would have been around the time of his accident. The doctor says that from what they have had John talk about the children at the time of his accident they would have been about 5 or 6, years. Hector is both afraid and happy. Is his father almost cured? What happens if he remembers who he is at that moment? What if someone else discovers who he is? The doctor then hands him a copy of John's report.
