El Novicio Rebelde

Rogelio takes refuge in the El Milagro parish church after stealing from his partner-in-crime, El Jetas. He is mistaken for the new seminarian.

Rogelio, worried about his bag, goes in search of Lázaro. María Marta publicly accuses Burgos of kidnapping her brother, and Rogelio gets asked to perform a novena for Doña Beatriz.

The neighborhood is flooded by a rain storm, and the neighbors bring their belongings out on the sidewalks to protect them from the water.

Lázaro and Tutaina agree to a daring wager that puts the El Milagro neighbors’ homes on the line: a soccer match in which Lázaro’s team, which includes Rogelio, María Marta, Salomón, and Camilo, is to face Burgos’ team comprised of players from the El Milagro pro team, including “El Tren” Valencia and Beatriz.

Rogelio offers to hear confessions from his jail cell. Among the first to arrive is María Marta, who confesses she is in love with a secret admirer from the neighborhood.

The arrival of Juan Hermosillo revolutionizes El Milagro. Beatriz and her pious accomplices start to doubt the truth of Rogelio’s vocation and he decides to leave the neighborhood.

Rogelio and Juan Hermosillo face off in an election to choose El Milagro’s new seminarian. Burgos acts as Juan’s campaign manager, carrying out corrupt actions such as buying votes with tamales.

Rogelio, disillusioned by Jiménez and María Marta’s engagement, flees to a nearby neighborhood, El Desierto, where everything is backward. Rogelio contemplates staying there forever.

Father Camilo receives a letter from the Archdiocese accusing him of harboring a fake seminarian. The priest is forced to enroll Rogelio in the seminary, and Rogelio finally accepts the new challenge.

María Marta prepares for her wedding with Jiménez, who has yet to recover his memory.
