At Montes De Alba Inc.,
It is around lunchtime and Adrianna is with Martin at the cafeteria. The trial to decide Dianna's custody was coming up. Alejandro had made it clear that he was not going to make things easy. Adrianna says that it makes it easier that Marianna supports him getting custody of Dianna. Martin says that it does but they can't forget that Alejandro is crazy. Adrianna says that she knows how crazy he can get. Just then Adrianna's phone rings. It is from Dianna's preschool. It is her teacher. She says that Dianna fell sick and has been taken to a nearby hospital. She adds that they have been trying to get Marianna but they can't reach her. Adrianna asks how she is. The teacher says that she is fairly stable.
She says that she had problems breathing and fainted in class. Adrianna says just a second and puts her phone down. She asks Martin for his phone. He looks a bit concerned but gives it to her without questioning her. She quickly navigates to the notes Icon and then gets back on phone. She apologizes for the delay and asks for directions to the hospital. She then writes the directions down. She thanks the teacher and says that she will find Marianna. Adrianna then ends the call. She then hands Martin his phone back. She takes a deep breath. Martin asks Adrianna what happened.
Elsewhere, at Montes De Alba Inc.,
Gabriel runs into Hernan and Aranza along the company hallways. They are both surprised to see their father there. Aranza reminds him that he said he needed to rest and that's why he said he would not come back to the company. Gabriel said that he hadn't realized how bored he would become doing nothing. He adds that he still won't return to the day-to-day running of the company but he has to find something to keep him busy and give him purpose because he was never the type to be idle. Hernan looks at Aranza and smiles. She glares at her brother. Gabriel asks them where their sister is. Hernan says that there is something she is doing.
Back with Martin and Adrianna,
Adrianna takes a deep breath and tells him that Dianna fell sick in school. She adds that she had problems breathing and fainted. Martin asks Adrianna if she knows if Marianna was told. Adrianna says that they tried calling Marianna first but they couldn’t find her. Martin asks himself if Marianna already returned to the house. He then tells Adrianna that she had left to run errands, but he doesn't know why they couldn't find her. Adrianna offers to leave immediately and go and stay with Dianna until Marianna arrives. Martin thanks her. He says that he doesn't see himself leaving until four at the earliest. He adds that he will continue trying to reach Marianna. Adrianna says that it is not a problem.
Elsewhere,
Gabriel, Aranza, and Hernan are sitting in an unused conference room. Aranza tells her father that it's weird that he came to talk to Carlos of all people two days ago. Gabriel smiles. He says that he came to talk to Helena but it was even better that he found Carlos. Hernan looks at his father suspiciously and asks him what he did. Gabriel tells Hernan and Aranza that he told Carlos about Helena's offer and just like he thought, Carlos was unaware.
Hernan looks at his father and states that he wanted to make the two of them distrust each other. Gabriel says that he did. He adds that if Helena and Carlos mistrust each other, they are more likely to argue and make mistakes and that works in their favor. Aranza says that while that is true, they could also be more dangerous, especially, if he tries something else. Gabriel agrees that there is always that possibility, but they need to do their part in bringing down Helena and Carlos by speeding up the process.
Sometime later,
Marianna has just arrived at the hospital. She finds Martin sitting in the waiting area alone. She says that her phone went off. She then asks how Dianna is. Martin says that they have been told that she had some inflammations in her nose, that affected her oxygen supply and breathing and that some tests are still being run on her. Marianna asks him where Adrianna is. Martin says that she is with Dianna. Marianna runs a hand through her hair. She says that it's her fault. Martin moves near her and puts an arm near her. She looks up at him. He tells her that what has happened is no one's fault and that some childhood diseases have to happen because they are a part of growing up. Marianna tells him that she is a mess and she can't do anything, even take care of her daughter well. She then moves away from Martin.
He, however, moves closer to her again. He takes one of her hands and she looks at him. He says that despite her past mistakes, no one can doubt that she loves her daughter and she is a good mother. Marianna tells him that he doesn't have to lie to make her feel better or because Dianna is in hospital. Martin says that they both love Dianna and they will help her recover. Someone says, well, and they both turn. They are face to face with Alejandro. Marianna asks Alejandro why he is there. Alejandro asks her why she would ask him such a question. He says that it is only normal to want to know how his daughter is. Marianna frowns at him. Martin tells Alejandro that he has no reason to be there and that he is a danger to Dianna.
Elsewhere,
Gabriela is with her father in the cafeteria of Montes De Alba Inc. She asks him what he wanted to tell her that was so urgent. Gabriel says that there is something he has been thinking about for some time. Gabriela asks him what it is. Gabriel pauses for a few seconds then says that it's about securing Ricardo's fate. Gabriela asks him if he is concerned about Ricardo because Anna Patricia has such a bond with the child. Gabriel says that it mainly is.
He adds that he has been thinking about the two of them adopting the child. Gabriela stares at her father like he is crazy. She calls him Dad and asks him, whether the idea is a whim or he has actually thought about it. Gabriel smiles and says that he has thought about it. Gabriela isn't so sure. She reminds her father that children are a lot of work. Gabriel says that he and Anna Patricia are capable of raising Ricardo.
Gabriela tells him that getting Ricardo's custody full-time won't be like babysitting Hannibal or Gisela. She adds that they will be Ricardo's primary caregivers. Gabriel tells Gabriela to relax and adds that he will figure it out with Anna Patricia. Gabriela asks him if he has discussed it with Anna Patricia. Gabriel says that he has mentioned to Anna Patricia that he has noticed how close she is to the child but otherwise not much more than that. Gabriela states that he did it to test Anna Patricia's reaction. Her father smiles and says a little bit. He adds that he will, of course, talk to her about it and the three of them can discuss the issue further.
Back at the hospital,
Alejandro snickers at Martin then looks at Marianna. He tells her that he can see that her lover is there to defend her. Marianna tells Alejandro to take his hateful self elsewhere and let Dianna recover in peace. Alejandro looks at both Martin and Marianna and says that he is there for his daughter. He adds that neither of them are fit to raise Dianna. Martin sarcastically asks him what morals he plans to teach Dianna because he has none. Alejandro smirks at him then looks at Marianna. He says that she is nothing more than a common whore and she isn't what he would like Dianna to be like. In a split second, Martin has moved near Alejandro and has held him by the neck. Alejandro still snickers at Martin.
Marianna tells Martin to leave Alejandro alone because he isn't worth it. Alejandro tells Martin to listen to his little tramp. Martin punches Alejandro and knocks him to the ground. They begin fighting. Marianna runs a hand through her hair and calls for help. Just then Hernan and Antonio come in. They rush to stop the fight. Hernan is shocked. Martin hardly gets into fights. He is usually calmer than him (Hernan) and his sister combined. Antonio holds Martin and Hernan holds Alejandro. Alejandro turns his attention from Martin to Hernan. He starts to pick a fight with Hernan. Hernan glares at him and tells him not to provoke him because he will not leave the chance to beat him up.

Back at Montes De Alba Inc.,
Gabriel looks at his daughter and then asks her what she thinks about him and Anna Patricia adopting Ricardo. Gabriela says that she doesn't doubt that Anna Patricia will be happy then pauses. Gabriel asks her what she thinks about him specifically taking that step. Gabriela shrugs and says that she is just surprised he would want to take care of a young child all over again. He says that she thinks that he is too sick and old. Gabriela looks at her father, then smiles and says that she didn't say that. She adds that she was just a little concerned that he might not be so sure about what he is getting himself into. Gabriel says he didn't think he would do something like that, but he is. Gabriela says that there is a possibility that he might start to resent Ricardo because he is only adopting the child to make Anna Patricia happy.
Gabriel says that he has thought about a lot of possibilities, that included and he feels that he will be okay with it. He then asks her how she will feel about it, considering how much she loves the child. Gabriela says that she will miss the child because he is like her son and she raised him for years before the truth about the baby switching came out. She then adds that her heart will, however, be at peace knowing that he is well taken care of. Gabriel says that they have to move fast and secure Ricardo's future before Horacio or Isabella try anything. Gabriela agrees. Her father asks her if she will go to the hospital to visit Martin and Dianna. Gabriela says that she will try but if she doesn't manage, she will do it the next day.
Back at the hospital,
Alejandro is being escorted out by security. He shouts at Antonio, Hernan, and Martin. He tells them that he will make all of them pay. Just then Adrianna comes back to the waiting room. She looks from Antonio to Hernan, to Martin, and finally to Alejandro. He gives her a dark look as he goes. When Alejandro is out of sight (he can still be heard screaming), Martin apologizes to Adrianna for the scandal and asks her how Dianna is. Adrianna says that the doctors are still doing a bunch of tests. She adds that all she knows is that Dianna has inflamed sinuses, and that affected oxygen supply to her brain, and that's why she fainted.
Marianna sighs and asks when she can see her daughter.
Adrianna says that she isn't sure but they can go ask. Before they can go anywhere a doctor comes. Marianna quickly asks him how her daughter is. The doctor looks at Adrianna. Adrianna tells the doctor that she can tell her (Marianna) because she is the child's mother. The doctor pauses then says that in addition to the inflamed sinuses, Dianna has a mild bacterial infection. Martin asks her how long Dianna has to be admitted. The doctor says that she has to be kept for observation and treatment for at least two days, and then they will review that based on how she responds to treatment.
Elsewhere,
At Armando and Luisa's house,
Luisa is alone with her daughter. Rosa is about six months old. She is in the baby's nursery. She sees a book on the table and goes to it, carrying her daughter. She shakes her head and says that Aurelio has never stopped misplacing things. She picks up the book and quickly flips through it. She sees a picture and stops there. Her eyes widen in shock. It couldn't be, could it? She looks at the picture again, it was her cousin, Rosa. Luisa asks herself what Aurelio was doing with a picture of her cousin and where he got it.
The next day on Saturday,
At the hospital,
Martin is with Dianna in her room. She asks him where her mother is. Martin says that she went to bring her aunt and cousin. Dianna asks him if she is very sick. He looks at her and takes one of her tiny hands into his much larger ones. He tells her that she will be fine. Dianna smiles and asks him if she can go and ride her bike with her cousin once she feels better. Martin says that she can. Just then there is a knock on the door. Martin goes and opens the door. It is Santiago, Marianna's grandfather. Martin welcomes him in. Dianna smiles when she sees him. Martin asks him if he has seen Marianna. Santiago says that she and Renata are looking for Thiago. Martin asks him if something happened to Thiago. Santiago says that he doesn't think so. He adds that getting Thiago to sit still has always been hard because he has always been restless and itching to do something.
