This is the episode that made the audience cry the most this week. Leo Stark and Javi Hernandez – the couple who used to take care of baby Tesoro – had to say goodbye when the custody was officially transferred to Johnny and Chanel.

The scene of their farewell took place slowly, each shot like a cut. Javi sat still, his hand gently stroking the child’s hair, while Leo tried to smile: “He will be loved.

Don’t worry about us.” But when the social worker came in and took the baby away, the two could only hold hands and stay silent.

On the way home, Leo burst into tears, uttering a sentence that stunned the audience: “We have love, but the law does not recognize it.”

This is a valuable line, reflecting the dark side of families that are not legally recognized. Javi just hugged Leo, whispered: “We loved him with all our hearts, that’s enough.”

In the evening, Javi lit a small candle next to the photo frame of little Tesoro.

The dim light fell on their faces – tired, sad but also relieved. Even though their hearts were broken, they still chose to let go so that their child could have a better future.
The episode ended in silence, no music, just the sound of the wind – just like Days Of Our Lives: no need for a big tragedy, just a second of silence is enough to make viewers cry.
