Gabi sits in her room flipping through the channels on the TV, all she gets is a bunch of static.

Gabi:"Just my luck, nothing comes in."

She goes over to the window and hears the wind start to blow very quickly. Suddenly she spies a flash of lightning and hears the results loudly. She starts to have a really wierd feeling, like something is wrong.

Gabi:"Somethings not right..."

She goes over and turns on the radio. "There is a severe thunderstorn warning for El Paso and vicinity, until further notice."

Ricardo suddenly gets very shaky and angry. "No, they wouldn't do this to me...." He stumbles to the floor. He feels very betrayed as he sits there running his fingers through his thick hair.

He starts to have flashbacks to all the times he saw Antonio and Gabi together. "This can't be happening." His blood begins to boil and his instinct tells him to go find Antonio. He struggles to get up and races out the door...to Carmens.

Antonio:"How did you find out??"
Carmen:"Its simple..I overheard Gobbie talking on the phone with her lover about a tape, so the first chance I got I switched the tapes.
Antonio:"And were you planning on showing it to Ricardo.."
Carmen:"Dios Mio, no Hijo!! You think I could hurt my son like that??"
Antonio:"But you have Mama...." *all of a sudden something hits him* "You blackmailed Gabi with the tape, didn't you..thats how you knew and thats why she left!!"
Carmen:"That whore does not belong in this family!! Not after she accused mi Ricardo of rape...(raises her voice) but especially after she seduced you!!!
Antonio:"Thats it!" He starts to go out the door.
Carmen:"Where do you think you are going??"
Antonio:"I am going to find Gabi and bring her back where she belongs!!!"
Carmen:"You will do no such thing Antonio!! Not if you want your secret to stay one!!!"
Antonio:"What??" "First you blackmail Gabi, now you're going to try and blackmail me!!" "That is just plain evil!"

Carmen reaches forward and slaps him. "That is for calling what I am doing evil...when you slept with that Gobbie... forcing me to hurt my OWN son!!!!"
Antonio:"You can't tell me what to do..I won't let you!!!"
Carmen:"You're right mijo, I can't." "Go ahead and go." She motions to the door. "But do so and give up your brothers love! Because he WILL see the tape!!"
Antonio:*starts to get very angry* He lunges for the VCR , pushes eject and takes the tape. He throws the tape on the floor with all his strength and the rips the film apart.

Carmen laughs. "Don't think I don't have copies."

Needing to get out the the situation and to find Gabi, Antonio bolts out of the room straight for the door.

He runs straight into an angry, blood-shot eyed Ricardo.
