Meanwhile, John, Aranza, and Gina are in the garden. They are sitting on a bench. Aranza looks at him and asks him why he looks so stressed. He says that he was just thinking about his treatments and if he will ever recover. Gina tells him to relax because in time it will happen. John says that he has lost so many years of his life and what he wants is to remember who he is. Aranza says that Gina is right and soon enough he will go back to his old life. John says that he does want to regain his memory and regain his life but with changes.
Aranza asks him what he is talking about. Gina tells Aranza not to be nosy and to respect people's privacy. Aranza turns and sulks at Gina, then says that she isn't nosy. John tells them that it isn't a problem because soon enough they will know the truth. Gina asks him what truth he means. John first tells her to bring her hands closer. Gina looks at her father, suspiciously but does as he says. He says that so many years have passed and if he remembers who he is, and who the children in his memories are and reconnects with his family, there will be changes. He adds that for example if he was married, his wife has since moved on after so many years and he should as well.
Aranza says she still has no idea what he means. Gina smiles. She has an idea, where the conversation is going. John says that Anna Patricia is a beautiful woman, and a wonderful person and she will be his wife someday, hopefully soon. Aranza looks at him shocked. Even though she expected it, Gina is still surprised by her father's declaration. He looks at her and asks if her aunt isn't a wonderful person. Gina agrees that Anna Patricia is a wonderful person.
Sometime later,
Aurelio was at his parent's house,
During dinner, he looks at each of them and then asks what it was that they wanted to tell him. Luisa looks at her son, her pride and Joy. How will he take it? She walks up and sits near him, and holds his hands. Aurelio says that he is getting afraid, of how they are acting. Luisa takes a deep breath and tells him that she is pregnant. Aurelio's eyes open wide. He did not see that coming. He folds his hands but stays quiet. Luisa asks him how he feels. He says that he is shocked, and didn't expect this, because he thought they were past childbearing age.
Aurelio doesn't know exactly how to feel. Why would his parents want another child now? Didn't they have nearly twenty years after he was born, to have another one, and even before that? Are they trying to replace him in their hearts now that he is an adult? Do they regret having only one child? Do they blame him for anything? Aurelio stands up and says he needs some time by himself to process everything. Luisa tries to stop him but Aurelio ignores her and leaves. Armando tells her to give him some time to process everything.
Meanwhile at Antonio's house,
Isabella goes into the study where Antonio had come to get something. She locks the door. She asks him what Aranza is doing there. Antonio sighs. He knows that she is here to cause trouble as usual.
He tells her that Aranza is family to him and can come whenever she wants. Isabella tells him that she doesn't want to see little Gina around. She adds that Aranza is so similar to Gina and she can't stand her. Antonio tells her that she is crazy and he isn't in any mood to entertain her. Before Isabella can continue getting on his nerves, he quickly walks past her.
Later, Emma is at her house,
She just cannot handle the weight of everything that she knows. She says to herself that Adrianna, Gina, Antonio, and Hector have been lied to, and deserve to know the truth. She then says that Horacio, Marianna, Isabella, and Alejandro are completely evil. She then remembers Gina telling her of how Horacio threatened and blackmailed her into marrying him. She picks up a Biro and writes on a piece of paper. She stops, looks at her phone, and then continues.
The next day, on Friday,
Aurelio goes to work early. He still cannot forget what his parents told him. They are having another child. He is at the cafeteria, sitting alone. Just then Antonio comes in and asks to sit down. Aurelio says it's okay.
Elsewhere,
Martin goes to the office garden when he runs into Marianna. He folds his hands and smirks. Marianna ignores him. He asks her if she is out to buy herbs for her spells. Marianna looks at him and asks him if he wants her and if his girlfriend has bored him. Martin tells her, not even in her wildest dreams because he can't stand airheads or witches. Marianna asks him why he always has to disturb her and call her a witch, whenever they meet.
Martin shrugs and says that it's not a lie because she has the personality and manners of a witch. Marianna raises her hands to hit him but he catches her hand. Marianna looks at him and frowns. Martin frowns a bit as well. What is it about Marianna that gets to him? Martin and Marianna both stare at each other for a few seconds. Emma sees them from one of the office windows and remembers Horacio saying that Marianna has feelings for Martin. Could it be true?
Back at the cafeteria.
Antonio asks Aurelio if he is okay. Aurelio fidgets and looks down, then up then at Antonio. Antonio tells him that whatever it is, he will be there for him and will listen because they are family. Aurelio tells him that his mother is having another child. Antonio is shocked. He hadn't seen that coming. Aurelio says that was his reaction as well. He says he assumed they were too old to have another child. Antonio asks him how that makes him feel.
Elsewhere,
Gina runs into Isabella, in an empty hallway. Gina wants to avoid trouble but Isabella, as usual, wants it. Isabella folds her hands and glares at Gina. She tells her to keep away from Antonio. Gina smirks and tells her sarcastically that she must be happy because she has everything she wanted. Isabella tells Gina that her marriage is none of her business.
Gina moves closer to Isabella and says that she should then leave her alone and work on her insecurities. Isabella then says that she can see that she (Gina) is now wilder than before and has no manners. Gina takes a deep breath, and tells Isabella, that she will not cause a scandal at work but they can sort this out elsewhere.
Back at the cafeteria,
Aurelio admits that he is and hurt and confused. He says he doesn't understand why they chose to wait for so long to have another child. He then says that maybe they didn't want another child but they then decided he wasn't enough, and changed their minds. Antonio says he understands how this might be confusing and hard to adjust to, but he needs to talk to his parents because the truth might be different from what he thinks.
Aurelio asks him what he is talking about. Antonio says that maybe they struggled with fertility and health issues for example. He adds that even if they changed their minds about having another child, his parents still loved him. Antonio says that the fact that they took in Hector and Gina proves that they have a huge capacity for love. Aurelio agrees.
On Saturday,
Gina is getting her son ready for the day. Horacio enters the room. He looks at her but she ignores him.
Later,
Aurelio goes to Antonio's house, while Gina, Adrianna, and Emma join Aranza at her and Aurelio's house. She has gone with her son. Horacio and Alejandro have people watching just in case either Hector and Antonio show up.
Elsewhere at Antonio's house,
Isabella, as usual, is cold towards Aurelio. She tells herself that Aurelio is too close to Gina for comfort. She says that she has come too far to let Gina have everything she has worked so hard to get.
Back at Aurelio and Aranza's house,
Gina's son needs a diaper change and Emma offers to do it for her. Aranza says that she can go to the bedroom. Emma says that she cannot because that would be an invasion of privacy. Aranza says that it's not a problem and that what is important is that the baby is comfortable. Gina tells Emma that Aranza is stubborn and so she should agree. Aranza rolls her eyes at Gina and insists to Emma again that it's no problem.
Back at Hector and Marianna's house,
Hector is getting their daughter ready. Marianna says that she will go too. Hector says that she can't come because it is a family affair. Marianna reminds him that she is his wife. Hector looks at her and says that he doesn't want her combative ways at the family event. He adds that she can do whatever she wants as long as she stays out of his way because she is an embarrassment. Marianna says that she has to go so that she can take care of her daughter. Hector says that it will be unnecessary because he will take care of her.
Meanwhile at Aranza and Aurelio's house,
Emma has just changed the baby and kept a note and tape ( which are in a box) in a bag. She says to herself that in case of anything that is the insurance that will bring down Isabella and her friends.
Elsewhere, at the mental hospital,
John is in his room. He is getting frustrated. He asks himself how much longer before he gets his life back. He wonders if he will ever remember who he is.
Later at Armando's and Luisa's house,
The whole Ortiz family is there as well as Antonio. Gina feels uncomfortable with Antonio there. She understands he had to be there because he is part of the family as well, being Armando's nephew but it doesn't make things any easier. Antonio is just as uncomfortable. Gina is just as beautiful, as ever. He watches her carry her son and the child looks up at her and smiles. She smiles back at him. He tells himself that his beautiful wildflower is such a great mother, and he would love to be with her.
Elsewhere,
Horacio is at the country club when an associate of his comes and takes a seat near him. He pours himself a glass of alcohol and takes a long gulp. Horacio asks him for an update on Gina. The associate tells him that Antonio is also at Armando and Luisa's house. Horacio punches the table with his fist and tells himself that he will not lose Gina to Antonio again and that they will never get back together, not under his watch. He adds that Gina has a lot of explaining to do.
