As Isabel thought about Andre in her room, Andre was laughing hysterically his head off!! It was so funny, Andre laughed, and laughed and at the same time cried of laughter especially when he remembered Salvador’s word’s (we were laughing at his laugh and imagining what he thought as ironical that he spent so much time planning and finally killing the old man Pedro to get his money and wife, but in the end, he comes back from the dead to claim everything he had!).

Later that night, Salvador went to play the piano once more. Everyone was spooked a bit as they were used to the piano playing. Somewhat knowing Andre’s reaction, Salvador had left the door open. Andre woke up from his sleep when he heard the piano playing again. Walter, who had curled up on a chair tried to comfort Andre and told him it was just a CD that was playing. Andre woke up determined to go to the studio. Walter tried to stop him but Andre strangled him and then left Walter whizzing for breath and then rushed to the study.

Andre saw Salvador playing the piano. He then used the lock to close the door behind him and then tried to strangle Salvador to death. Again, Salvador was stronger than ever and was able to beat up easily, especially now Andre was still in shock. Salvador tried to help Andre up from the floor, but Andre instead grabbed a pen knife and tried stabbing Salvador. This caused another fight and a lot of commission. Walter alerted Isabel and Isabel tried entering the study room, but the door was locked from inside. She begged Angela to get the keys to the studio which she did and they opened the door to find Andre all alone with blood all over his face. The household assumed that Andre had harmed himself and put pressure on Isabel to take him to a mental institution.

Isabel met with Salvador in his office and asked him to meet him. Salvador remembered Valeria and told Isabel that he wanted to terminate their relationship as he wanted to be happy and Isabel should be at her husband’s side. Isabel was shocked.

Later back home, Valeria asked Isabel to take Andre to a mental institution. Isabel told Valeria that things were not as easy as they looked as the problem could go on for years if she locked up Andre and she wanted the problem to be solved quickly. Later in the evening, Valeria also went for one date with Salvador, where she admitted that she could again not leave Isabel now as Isabel needed her more than ever. Salvador again admitted that he loved her and wanted to marry her, and Valeria told him to meet her at the same place the following day, so as to give him her answer.

Later when she got home (or maybe the previous episode before Valeria had gone out with Salvador), Valeria had asked Simon what his feelings were for him, and before he could reply, Rebecca had distracted them (This was the third time Simon had been interrupted before telling Valeria his true feelings, so Valeria still only sees Simon as a friend).

The morning Valeria was to give Salvador her answer, Isabel made a drastic decision. She was going to take Andre to a country house that belonged to her friend (Mr. Krugman-her new business-partner to be), the same day in the afternoon; and that Valeria and not Walter was going to ascot her. Walter was so upset that he stomped his feet in protest. Valeria was upset and tried to make excuses of why she did not want to go. She tried to tell Isabel about her piano classes, but Isabel used reverse psychology on her and told her she could decide not to go, after all she had tried so hard to help and support Valeria. This made Valeria guilty and she reluctantly agreed to go. Valeria tried reaching Salvador to inform him of the change of plans, but Salvador was unavailable in a meeting, so she went to pack her bags. Isabel packed her bags and brought her gun with her. Later that afternoon Andre, Isabel and Valeria went to the country house.

Later that evening, Salvador told Gaetana about his feelings for Valeria. Gaetana was concerned about Salvador, and questioned him if he genuinely loved Valeria, to which he replied positively. Salvador told Gaetana that he was following her (Geatana’s) advice, to live a new life and he was going to do so with Valeria, and he was willing to fight for both Valeria’s happiness and his happiness. Salvador went to the restaurant to wait to Valeria.

When she failed to turn up, Salvador called the house, only to be informed that Isabel had forced Valeria to go with her and Andre to a remote country house.

Salvador was deeply concerned that Isabel might do something stupid (like kill Andre) or that Valeria might be hurt since Andre was crazy. He aired his concerns with Gaetana. Gaetana told him that she was not surprised as it was him (Salvador), who had put Isabel between a rock and a hard place by challenging almost promising her to kill Andre. Salvador confessed that he never thought Isabel would carry out such a thing. Geytana told him that she was guessing Isabel wanted to provoke Andre to hurt her, so that she could kill him in self defence.

Salvador become more concerned and decided to look for the address to the country house but was unsuccessful.

Meanwhile back in the country house, Isabel, Andre and a sad Valeria had settled in the country house. Valeria sat by the fire-side thinking of Salvador. The country house also had a care-taker who had a dog.

The following day Salvador went to the Donoso house to ask for the address for the country house. Walter received him rudely, and Rebeca blackmailed him into going out with her, so that she could give him the address on a date (Rebeca did not know the address of the country house). Salvador suspected Rebeca was lying to him so as just to get him go out on a date with him. With the encouragement of Geytana -for him to try everything to save Valeria from Andre and Isabel-, Salvador went on a date with Rebeca. Rebeca talked to him about Isabel and everyone in the house, but never told Salvador about the address for the County house. When Rebeca told Salvador that he had not asked her about how she was doing, Salvador snapped.

He told her that he had been kind to her as he had tried not to hurt her as he knew how it was to love a younger woman. He even confessed to Rebeca that he once had fallen in love with a younger woman old enough to be his daughter.. Rebeca was horrified! Salvador liked small children! Salvador corrected her and told her a young woman and not a child. He said he used to be told that ‘He was too old, and was old enough to be his wife’s father’ (He was imitating Rebeca when she had said the same thing about him as Pedro).. Rebeca was horrified to hear those words and told Salvador that he was scaring her. Salvador told Rebecca that he was not afraid of telling anyone about Cantalicia and Muncho (he doesn’t know that they are still in the city). Salvador then announced to the whole restaurant that he was married and had a son and that Rebeca was neither his wife nor his son’s mother. This left Rebeca heartbroken and humiliated as everyone stared at her.

Rebecca hated Salvador and swore vengeance. The following day, she stepped on Salvador’s chauffeur uniform. Abigail was concerned when she saw Rebeca stepping on the uniform. Abigail told her son Antonio and also told him the rumors that were circulating in the house that Rebeca was interested in Salvador. Antonio was slightly surprised.
