RECAP IN ENGLISH
Reina returns to her palace and meets her subjects, a small group of
strangers who seem anxious to please her. She is dazzled by it all.
From a remote location, Javier watches her every move through the cameras installed outside the house. He has seen her take his cross and put it around her neck.
At Victor's urging, she tries on a pair of towering heels, and is amazed to discover she can walk in them easily.
Even though she doesn't remember her little girl, Clara, she feels an instinctive tenderness for her. Reina is polite to Victor, but keeps him at a distance.
She finds out that her wicked half-sister Delfina is now living in the house as Victor's personal assistant. She doesn't find out that she is Victor's personal whore and that she is funneling money to keep the wicked stepmother quiet about the past.
The next morning Reina asks the housekeeper, Asunción, to call a taxi for her. She wants to go out and explore her past. The housekeeper reluctantly agrees to do so, but Reina has to promise her she'll come back.
A white taxi pulls up in front of the mansion with Javier at the wheel. She looks at him curiously. Doesn't she know him from somewhere? Wait -- he's not a taxi driver...
Just then, they are ambushed armed men in two black vans. Javier executes some fast manuevers to evade them. The commotion draws the police, but the assailants escape.
Delfina tells Victor that she knows what he did to Reina's true love. She also knows that the boy wasn't responsible for his daughter Camila's suicide. Victor threatens to kill Delfina if she tells anyone.
Javier impresses the policeman who questions him (Christian, Victor's friend) with his detailed account of the attack. "You should be a cop." Reina tells Christian that Javier has saved her life. She opens up to Javier, confiding her fear and bewilderment and her distrust for those around her. She feels like she's going crazy.
Victor comes to the police station to pick up Reina. She tells him Javier saved her life and begs him to do something for him. Victor gives Javier his card and tells him to come see him. Then he asks Christian to investigate Javier. A short while later, Christian reports that Javier is clean.
Isidor comes on to Connie in the produce aisle of the local market. Connie plays easy to get.
Lázaro has an interview for a nursing job. Connie says he's gonna knock 'em dead. Juanjo thinks that's an unfortunate metaphor.
Estefanía finds her long-lost partner Andrés in her office at the casino. He has left his wife in Paris and is back in Vegas to stay.
Susana has lunch with Greta. Stefi happens by and is introduced. We learn that Greta has a degree in economics and speaks five languages (I'm fairly sure that one of them is Klingon), but she wants to be an acrobat. Susana, who probably needs to have her meds adjusted, doesn't approve.
A reconnoiter at the shrink's office --
Greta drives through a puddle and splashes mud on Laz's white shirt just before his interview. He sees her inside what seems to be a psychiatric clinic. (I'm not sure if she's waiting to see her doctor.) Laz tells her he was like her once -- when he was fifteen!
In one consultation room, Stefi reclines on a couch and tells the doctor her story. The bastard got us both pregnant at the same time. My daughter would have been the same age as Greta. That's why he didn't care that my daughter died. Victor has to pay for what he did. She does a little horizontal pole dance on the couch -- not unappreciated by the doctor. She's not sure what excites her more -- her desire for her new lover or her thirst for vengeance.
Javier reports back
to Smith. Smith says someone must
be trying to kill Reina to keep her from remembering something. [Whoa. Deep.] Smith and Bolívar must change their strategy
-- the taxi gig isn't going to work now. [They speak in affectless, choppy
prose. Are they TRYING to parody Sgt. Friday?] He managed to snatch the cross
from Reina's neck; returning it will be an excuse to approach Reina again. From a remote location, Javier watches her every move through the cameras installed outside the house. He has seen her take his cross and put it around her neck.

Victor yields to Reina's desire to return to her old neighborhood. She sees a woman with a little boy. It's Connie and Roman! Connie wants nothing to do with her. Victor watches with quiet satisfaction. He told Reina it was a mistake to come here.
Laz doesn't get the job. He complains to Juanjo about the rude rich girl.
Susana comes to visit Greta at the theatre where she is rehearsing with a troupe of acrobats. Greta is bitter because Susana allowed Victor to send her off to boarding school. Her mother is a failure. She's dead to her! When Greta brings up Camila's suicide, Susana slaps her.
Isidro shows up at Connie's house and asks her to mend his jacket. He tries to pump her about Reina, but Connie won't talk about the past.
Laz DOES get the job after all!
Victor takes Reina to her old house. She sees her Spanglish stepmother and rejects the woman's smarmy suck-up act. Reina remembers how badly the woman treated her. Victor tells her that is all past. They have since reconciled.
Javier uses a visit to the de Rosas house to plant microphones. While he waits for Reina, he meets Clara. He offers to help her with her homework. She has written a story and is going to draw a DRAGON! (So I guess the dragon obsession is genetic.)
Stefi phones Javier and invites him over.
Her business partner/stepson Andrés spies on her as she orders the maid to prepare the candles, the bath...
Reina finds her old diary hidden in what was once her bedroom. The last entry is from October 12, 2006. It reads:
