Fina’s father visits her again while she’s recovering in the dormitory. He brings her lentils Digna made for her. They joke a bit and agree they’re both grateful to have reunited. Isidro was an idiot and a half but Fina isn’t holding it against him, she’s just glad to have her father back.
Marta shows up and takes Isidro’s place by Fina’s bedside after telling her she looks too pretty have just stabbed yesterday. Doña Marta needs to up her flirting game, imo (1/9)
When Marta leans over to gently kiss Fina my body was in full alert - I’m so used to the lesbians being walked in on while kissing. Isidro had just left the room. They’re being a bit too careless for my lesbian anxiety.
Marta eventually admits what’s troubling her (partially) by explaining that Jesus has been in a car accident. Because of this she’s taking on some of his work responsibilities and won’t be as free to visit Fina whenever she wants to. (2/9)
What Marta neglects to mention is the fact that she confessed an affair to Jaime, and that as a result he has now decided to abandon his boat and stay with her “forever” ugh
Fina asks what Jaime had taken her to the hallway to discuss yesterday and Marta LIES - saying Jaime is so grateful for Fina saving Marta’s life that he wanted to ask what gift he could give her. Mmk sure. (3/9)
Marta tells Fina that she chose to pretend she doesn’t know her well so they can maintain the appearance to Jaime of distance between them. But she says “of course I know you much better than that” AHA in the biblical sense maybe 🤣… (4/9)
Jaime tells Marta he is staying because he wants to go back to how things were for them (he’s a broken record tbh). Jaime asks if she is still in contact with the photographer and she says “no” which is technically true, but then she reiterates the fact that she’s not… available because she is still affected by her paramour. Her feelings about their marriage has changed now. And she asks, “Why would you make such a sacrifice leaving the boat for a marriage that is dead?” (5/9)
Damian confronts Marta about her personal life after she has this dumb convo with Jaime - her dad loves meddling in her marriage. He tells her how it’s her responsibility to make things work with Jaime and reminds her that the ball is in her court “you make this easier for yourself… or harder” (another broken record). To satisfy her dad she calls Jaime to accept his invitation to lunch together. (7/9)
There are a lot of other side storylines ramping up right now: Claudia is pregnant with Tasio’s baby, Priest Fuckface now knows about it, Carmen knows and she knows her husband is the father. Someone is trying to sabotage Perfumas de la Reina’s new cosmetic line, and Luz isn’t a real doctor (as evidenced by how she had them bridal carry Fina’s body from the shop instead of using a stretcher) (8/9)
Avance: Marta admits she lied to Fina about the hallway chat with Jaime. She tells her the truth - that he announced he’s staying in town to try to resuscitate their dead marriage. (We don’t know if Marta tells Fina that she admitted to Jaime that she’s cheated on him) (9/9)
