Trying to Translate

I'm trying to learn Spanish by watching telenovelas. Please share your comments about the shows, too. I know I'm not the only English-speaking person who's hooked on telenovelas!

Heridas de Amor - Episode 4

After speaking with Alejandro's daughter on the phone, Miranda said to herself angrily, "Why do men always lie?" (Don't know why she reacted this way, unless she thinks Alejandro is married.) When Alejandro returned and asked if she had seen his phone, she said no.

It turns out that Cesar is Fabricio's brother. Their mother urged Fabricio not to break his engagement to Miranda and said his behavior would provoke violence. Then she asked Cesar to talk to Fabricio. Cesar snarled at Fabricio that he (Cesar) will marry Miranda himself, and Fab. was not happy to hear it.

Florencia again worried that Fabricio is only marrying her out of pity and doesn't really love her.

Cesar went into Alejandro's room and rifled through his possessions. I don't know what he was looking for, but after he saw Alejandro's drawing of Miranda, he went to Bertha and told her, "Alejandro is in love with Miranda." Bertha asked why he thinks this, and Cesar said, "Men don't have pictures of women in their room unless they are in love with them."

Bertha and Miranda argued again because Miranda is kicking Bertha out of the house. Bertha called Miranda a "monster." Later she told Florencia that Miranda is just like her mother.

Alejandro and Fernanda (the doctor) discussed Alejandro's father. Apparently years ago, after catching the father and Fernanda together, Gonzalo wounded the father. The father survived but recently died of the same wound (if understood this part correctly).

During their conversation, Alejandro said in surprise, "Miranda doesn't know you are her mother?" and Fernanda said no. I think she said she can't tell Miranda because she's scared of Gonzalo.

Alejandro said that he intends to get revenge on Gonzalo. Fernanda objected to this, asking, "How will you carry on your conscience the horror of revenge?"

Alejandro asked Fernanda if she knows what became of his father's portfolio, and Fernanda said no. (We saw in a previous episode that Bertha has it. Apparently there's something very important in it.)

Miranda visited the clinic and a nurse, Lulu, told her that the doctors and patients will soon be thrown out in the street to make way for a hotel. Miranda realized right away that her father and Alejandro are responsible for this, and she was furious with Alejandro (not knowing that he's already trying to help Fernanda prevent this).

The sick old woman at the clinic mentioned the full name of Miranda's mother, and Miranda told Pamela excitedly, "That woman knows my mother!" Without revealing that SHE is Miranda's mother, Fernanda shooed Miranda out of the room. Then she (Fernanda) told the old woman, "You have to be strong. Help me, I beg you."

Outside the clinic, Miranda yelled at Alejandro for planning to tear down the clinic, then gave his phone back and mentioned that someone had called. He asked, "What did she say?" and Miranda snapped, "I'm not your secretary."

A doctor visited Gonzalo and told him that Florencia only has a short time to live.

At the end of the episode, Fabricio and Cesar's mother, Rebeca, told Gonzalo, "Fabricio has committed a terrible error. He is not going to marry Miranda. He's going to marry another." Gonzalo said, "How can he do this to my daughter? Who is he going to marry?" and Rebeca said, "Florencia."
