RECAP IN ENGLISH
Navier leans in for the kiss. Does he kiss Reina? No. He thinks about it twice and leaves limping. As he leaves we get a glimpse of his mighty fine abs.
BRIDAL SHOP - MORNING
Shall we take a drink each time Reina recalls the muscular back with the Dragon tattoo?
Reina awakens at the bridal shop. She's confused! She realizes she has the cross in her hands. She recalls the image of the muscular back with the Dragon tattoo (DRINK). She thinks she'll go crazy!
Reina hears a sound at the bridal shop. She goes to investigate. She grabs a flower vase and smashes it on Rocky Balboa. He chases after her. He tells her he means her no harm. He shows his badge - he's Detective Balboa. They are the ones who saved her. Reina was found unconscious. She was brought to the bridal shop for security reasons. NO ONE can know about her kidnapping! Why? Because they're making progess on the case and trying to find out who wants her dead. Reina is overwhlemed. What is she to do? Who can she trust? She was kidnapped! She had no clue who to call. She ended up calling Navier her chauffuer. Balboa knows. It was Navier who contacted them. She's safe thanks to Navier. Balboa will give Reina an emergency contact number. Victor must not know about her kidnapping because it could be dangerous for Clara. People will watch over Reina. The kidnappers were going to kill Reina. She doesn't know why they didn't kill her. They tortured her and had fun at her expense. It was one of the horrible experiences she's ever had. Balboa wants Reina to tell her something about the kidnappers that he can use to find them. All Reina can recall is the muscular back with the Dragon tattoo (DRINK). Reina is afraid not just for herself but also for Clara. She'd die if anything happened to Clara. Reina must not mouth a word of her kidnapping to Christian Palacios. Why? He's a family friend and a cop after all. Well, it's precisely because he's a family friend why he should be left out of this. Balboa's unit is above Christian.
Delfina comes in and Balboa hides. Reina! You scared me. What happened? What are you doing here? Delfina asks. Reina recalls the muscular back with the Dragon tattoo (DRINK). Nothing important. I had a minor accident. It's no big deal she tells Delfina. Balboa listens in.
Reina tells Delfina that she needs to remember. You don't know how hard it is not to remember. Delfina can imagine how hard it is. Reina wants to go back to her dad's house. That's where all her memories are. And Carmen is there too! Reina's whole life is back there. She needs to get her memory back. She needs to do it for Clara. Delfina can understand Reina wanting to leave her home but she can't understand why Reina would want her memories back. After all Reina was caught up in lots of lies, secrets, and deceits and maybe just maybe it is those skeletons and ghosts that want her dead. Reina recalls the muscular back with the Dragon tattoo (DRINK). Balboa listens in.
Reina is now with Balboa. Delfina is not there. Reina can't believe she could have been caught up in lies and deceit. She's a decent woman! Delfina never liked her. Maybe that's why she said those things. Balboa tells her to rest, take a shower, change, and relax. She'll be watched over. Reina asks Balboa to please find out if what Delfina said is true. I want to know who I am really am, she tells him.
Reina now alone tries to reach Javier. She continues to remember the image of the muscular back with Dragon tattoo (DRINK).
HIDALGO MANSION
Estefania awakens to the sight of Navier, the man she yearns and aches for (thanks Stevey!) and smoochies him. She realizes he's hurt and asks what happened. Nothing he says. Estefania knows something happened and it is because of Reina. She told him to forget all about Reina and everything. She wants to leave with Navier. Navier doesn't want to leave. He'll be there till to the end. Victor calls Estefania and tells her about Greta's accident. He needs her to come to the hospital. He'll send her a text with the directions to the hospital. Estefania tells Navier about Greta's accident. She's confused. Why would Victor want to see me? she wonders. She's worried about Great but doesn't understand it. She doesn't want to leave Navier. He's hurt. She wants to take care of him. He tells her he's fine. She tells him she's fine when she's with him. He's her opportunity to be happy. He tells her that it'd be good if she were to go and see Victor because the more she knows the more she'll be able to help him with his revenge. Estefania will go to the hospital. She tells him to wait for her there because she has things to tell him. What? Tell me know! he says. Estefania tells Navier that Christian interrogated her about a possible affair between Reina and Andrés, her stepson. They were seen together in Paris. Were they lovers? he asks. Christian is convinced of it. Perhaps Reina was interested in Andrés' money or she simply had the hots for him...says Estefania. Estefania leaves for the hospital.
Navier sends a message:
Code Red. Information on Andrés Hidalgo. Possible connection to Reina Ortiz. Bussiness partner? Attempted murderer? Lover?
Andrés walks out of his room. He's talking on the phone. He wants to sell his apartment in Paris. He wants to be paid in Euros!
Navier sneaks out of Estefania's room and sneaks into Andrés' room. Navier room raids it. He looks through drawers. He looks at documents. He looks to see if anything is hidden inside a book. I'm surprised he didn't flip over the mattress! He looks behind a painting and tada there is a safe! He scans the safe with an app on his phone. The app apparently gives him the passcode to open the safe. (I'm so confused as to how this was possible? Must be a good app. I'm gonna have to search for it at the app store) He takes out the contents of the safe - letters, a gun, and the incriminating photo of Andrés and Reina in Paris. He takes a pic of each of the contents of the safe. He puts the contents back. He puts the painting back. He hears Andrés and hides behind a curtain. Andrés grabs a letter. He walks over to the window and closes it. Navier is stuck on the edge of the roof.
Navier winds up in the secret doll room. Navier picks up a doll with the name Stefy embroided in her dress. The doll has diamond eyes!
He gets suspscious and sends a message:
Code Red. Information on Estefania Perez Hidalgo. Diamonds.
Andrés sees Navier coming down the stairs. He wants to know who he is. Why is he coming down the stairs as if he slept there? Well, Navier didn't actually sleep there. He could give Andres details over coffee. Is Navier the lover of Estefania? Navier doesn't like giving explanations nor being asked for them. Andrés had said he's the man of the house so Navier congratulates him for the lovely house. Andrés must have worked hard for it or he must have inherited it. Navier turns to leave and Andrés asks him if they've seen each other before. Navier doubts it. Andrés says he must have been mistaken then.

HQ
Navier shows Smith the doll with the two diamonds for eyes. Estefania has a whole room full of them! Most are made of porcelin. He explains how he wound up in the secret doll room. Smith tells Navier that the two men he brought in were hired assasasins - one was to take care of Reina and the other was to take care of him. They don't know who sent them but they're investigating. Navier is starting to suspect Estefania. No one can be trusted.
Navier tells Smith that Victor called Estefania and asked her to come to the hospital. He didn't know Estefania and Victor had a stillborn daughter. Smith tells Navier that their daughter is not dead. Their daughter is Greta. But her daughter was taken by Victor. If Victor confesses the truth to Estefania then she'll will want vengence more than ever, says Smith.
Smith reaveals a part of Estefania's past:
Estefania survived a family masscare. Her father was a a Colombian arms-trafficker. He gave her with all the luxuries as a child. A royal life. Estefania had it all and never needed to ask for anything.
As she says all this we see images of newspaper from Bogota with the headlines:
"Ausute De Cuentas: Muere Traficante De Armas y Su Mujer" (Score Settlemnet: Arms Trafficker and Wife Die)
"Una Familia Destruida y Una Muñeca Que Llora" (A Destroyed Family and a Doll Who Cries)
"Cara De Muñeca: La Niña Que Se Salvo De La Massacre" (Face of a Doll: The Girl Who Survived The Massacre)
HOSPITAL - CHAPEL
Estefania prays for Greta. She hasn't done this in a looooooooong time!
Susana comes in and tells Estefania not to pray. Whoever it is that decides their fate doesn't listen.
Estefania now alone cries. God didn't listen to her when she asked him to save her family. Estefania wants God to save her daughter. She doesn't want to continue being merely a survivor. She wants to be alive.
FLAHSBACK OF THE MASSACRE
Smith as narrator: One night her entire family was massacred. Assassins entered her home and killed everyone. She witnessed all of it while still a child. She saved her brother. He was adopted but she wasn't. They never saw each other again. How was spared from the massacre? Because she was such a pretty little girl that was able to hide among her doll collection. After that, she no longer had the life of a queen. She was out on the streets and at an orphanage and she had to hide because they wanted her dead. She then got a job as a waitress. Then as an exotic dancer. Then she posed nude for magazines. Eventually, she became a porn star until she met the tycoon Artemio Hidalgo and married him. That is the real Estefania Perez Hidalgo.
Navier: If she was capable to hold her breath and hold still among the dolls without crying or screaming. If she was able to do all that while being a child then she's capable of anything. Well, so am I.

Alone? Yes. She doesn't want to put Clara in danger. She'll miss Clara. What about Victor? No, she won't miss him. Navier tells her that Greta is dying.
