Arturo y Sofia

Episode 159 Summary

Cabrera arrives to arrest Leonardo's cousin after hearing Felipe and Juana's report. The next morning, at the Alcazar ranch, Felipe arrives home to his granddaughters. He tells the girls he's there thanks to Juana, who saved him.
Isadora, Leonardo and their captives continue through the woods. Cayetana begs them to stop- she is exhausted. When Arturo tells Isadora not to mistreat Cayetana, Leonardo begins to say he will kill Arturo so he doesn't have to listen to his complaints anymore. This rouses Cayetana and she throws herself between Leonardo and Arturo, but Arturo puts himself in front of Cayetana and tells Leonardo that he is only a macho when he has a gun in his hand- in reality he is a clown. He urges Leonardo to open the suitcase so he can see a surprise. Leonardo laughs but obeys, and he and Isadora are furious to find the suitcases empty- Eleazar and Matilde had cleaned them out. Isadora demands to know what happened, but Arturo tells them who did it. Leonardo blames Isadora and they begin to argue and fight amongst themselves. Arturo takes the chances to work his bonds off, and a snake bites Isadora as she lays on the ground. Her scream alerts Jose Antonio and Fernandez.
Meanwhile, the girls try to keep Samuel and Flavio from going after Jose Antonio and Fernandez, but they are adamant. Samuel urges the girls to stay behind. Irina thinks what they are doing is not the best idea, but Flavio replies that they can't leave Arturo, nor Cayetana, who is also part of their family. Sofia asks Alma and Ignacio to watch over them.
Back in the woods, Isadora begs Leonardo for help- she realizes a snake has bitten her. Leonardo, instead, is about to kill her, but Arturo grabs a gun and intervenes. Cayetana grabs Isadora and the two back away as Arturo takes on Leonardo, but Leonardo manages to shoot Arturo in the leg. Cayetana attacks Leonardo, and he finally reveals that he was the one who raped Sofia all those years ago. He gloats about his evil deed, and goes further- he reveals to Cayetana that he was the one who killed Ignacio. Cayetana hits him again as he laughs at her. Leonardo shoots Cayetana in the stomach and gloats that he beat Arturo. Arturo watches, helpless, as Cayetana falls.
Cabrera remains at the Alcazar Ranch and tells the family that they have not yet found Cayetana and Arturo, but that they are getting close. Veronica is sure that Arturo will defend Cayetana.
Arturo tries to stand as Leonardo taunts him. But when Leonardo reveals that he was the one who pushed Alma off the bridge. That is enough to put Arturo into a rage and he flies at Leonardo, who answers that he will kill Arturo with his own hands. He is stopped by Isadora, who shoots him in the back with her pistol. Leonardo gets caught in quicksand, and dies from the gunshot wound as he sinks. Ever the greater man, Arturo tries to save him. Isadora orders Arturo not to get any closer. She bids him farewell, and confesses he was the only man she ever loved. Isadora turns the gun on herself and commits suicide. Cayetana calls for Arturo, and he crawls over to her. She asks him to forgive her. Arturo tells her there's nothing to forgive, and that they will get out of there together. Cayetana tells him that she was wrong about him, but Arturo tells her she was only defending her daughters and her home. Cayetana tells him that he is a man with a great heart, a true man. She tells him that she is happy that he loves Sofia and she knows they will be very happy together. Arturo tells her that he will take care of her and they will all be happy together, and that she has to be stubborn. She protests that he should leave her, but Arturo insists and lifts her as they are found. Cayetana tells Fernandez that he always arrives at just the right moment.
Irina holds Sofia back from entering as Andrea rushes over to tell them that Cayetana and Arturo have been found. Cayetana is brought to the girls, and they rush over to her. Cayetana tells them she will live, for them, for her grandson, and the grandchild that will arrive (meaning Irina's baby). Sofia finally sees Arturo, carried by his brothers.
Two weeks later, Cayetana arrives home from the hospital to an empty house, escorted by Fernandez. Cayetana is surprised no one is there to greet her, but she thanks Fernandez for accompanying her at the hospital. She lets him kiss her as a mariachi band begins to play, led in by Nieves. The girls arrive with Felipe and Arturito to greet their mother. The boys come down to surprise her as well, and the family celebrates Cayetana's release from the hospital.
