After the party, Betty gets her aunt drunk as they talk about Rosa and her aunt slips that their grandmother is still alive!  The next day Ignacio tells him he kept it a secret because their grandmother stopped talking to them once Rosa left with the chef.  Betty is determined to meet her grandmother and take sHilda with her on a bus ride.  When Betty thinks she sees Henry she gets off the bus with Hilda, ony to be stranded in the middle of nowhere.  At the new town, Betty thinks she sees Henry again and follows him until she finds the tree and eventually the blue house with her grandmother.  She goes inside and finds out her grandmother has alzheimer and thinks Betty is Rosa.  She apologizes and tells her to go and be with the man she loves (Ignacio).  Ignacio arrives at the end to help translate and it looks like all is good.
