When they return from Mexico, there is a power outage in the country and Alejandro and Tina take advantage of the situation and have a steamy night. The next morning after power is restored, Tina realizes that her feelings for Alejandro has grown stronger. Alejandro begins to loosen up around her until he detects her having a call with her ex boyfriend, Mike and he gets angry but she diffuses the situation quickly.

Alejandro gets wind of the information and pays for the treatment and Tina’s father recovers. Before, Tina can make her appreciation, Armando dies from a heart attack plunging Alejandro into depression.

Tina hears of the news and goes to comfort Alejandro, reigniting the feelings between them. Alejandro realizing that Tina is the one for him and the sole reason he now has empathy and feels human again, proposes to her and she accepts.

Alejandro, now the chairman of Gonzalez Industries, marries Tina who becomes one of the board of directors.
