Caray, Caray!

I'm going to do this in two parts, first what's going on in Mexico and then the happenings in El Lay, that way I won't have to jump back and forward.

In Mexico Amalia and the girls are out on the street, Aaron offers Paloma a place to keep their furniture, everyone is devastated by being kicked out of their homes (see, this is why sometimes it's better to own, rather than rent), Mancia has taken to the streets and is trying to make extra money by reading peoples fortunes using the tarot cards, she tells Irasema that a card keeps coming up and it bothers her because it means nothing good is on the horizon, Irasema tells her that the last thing they need is more bad luck.

Vanessa and Aaron are discussing Paloma's woes and Aaron tells Vanessa not to make fun of Palomas situation, then he confesses that he really digs Paloma and wants to be with her, even if it means that he loses the bet he made with Vanessa. I like this kid.

Amalia and the girls are in their new home and are lamenting all their bad luck (what else is new?) but then Amalia tells the girls that this is only temporary, and the girls say that maybe being in what used to be Santos room will bring the m good luck, Amalia says that maybe it will. Later Amalia meets with Mirna, whose ta-tas look like they are going to pop out of her dress and signs over her share of the bar, although as she does it with a heavy heart and she tells Mirna that it's hard to sign over her husbands dreams. She hesitates a few times but eventually signs the paper work, and just like that her half of the bar is gone.

Somewhere in Mexico Vicente is missing Fernando, Ana and his friends, he has a flashback to Fernando buying him a pair of boots and he says "Come and get me Fernando" *sniff, sniff* I take back 60% of the bad things I've said about him.

Paloma is at school and left her backpack in the classroom, she goes in search of it and it looks like she's worried about the money she had in it, Aaron walks in after her and she tells him that her plan is to drop out of school to get a job and help support the family, just like Maria did at her age. Aaron tells her that all parents want their kids to have an education and makes her a deal, if she stays in school he will talk to his dad about giving her a part time job in the afternoons, Paloma agrees to give that a shot. 

In the vecindad Mancia is crying her eyes out (man, she is not a pretty crier) she's sad that the home she raised her son in is gone, a life time of memories gone in seconds, Irasema joins the pity party and tells Mancia she feels terrible too, she's missing Susanito something silly and lately she's been really sensitive- perhaps a clue that she might be hormonal and pregnant?

El Lay

The party at the prison continues- did they really allow them to bring snacks? What if someone spikes the horchata? Did no one think of that? Anyhoo, the prisoners are happy to have a taste of Mexico, many of them miss their country and the mariachis being there was a treat. Inside the prison Fernando and his papa chat, he tells his dad that he is a good man because it's in his blood, he has running through his veins the blood of a good man and a good woman. He also tells his dad that his days as a playboy are over, he has Ana now and all his love is reserved for her.

 In the prison patio Jorge and Susanito chat, Jorge tells Susanito that he's happy that he and Irasema are back together and asks if Irasema has been able to find her brothers and sisters, Susanito says no and Jorge has a flashback of him and Irasema discussing how much she wants to have her family back-man if her brothers are prisoners in the jail I'm going to scream.

Once the party ends Jorge is back in his cell and he is telling Mike how much he misses Mexico and Isa- he has a flashback to helping her with her homework. Am i the only one that hates the flashbacks? They have been using them a lot in the last few weeks.

While Mike and Jorge chat two officers come in and inform Jorge that he is going to be taken to the court house because his trial is about to start, they inform hi that he can change into the clothes his father brought him when he gets there.

Once in the court house the trial begins, Summers is being a jerk to Jorge and accuses him of feeling because he was a coward. Jorge jumps up and tells Summers not to insult him, at this point Summers acts like a big whinny baby and tells the judge that Jorge is out of line and that he expects to have Jorges bad behavior documented! The judge tells Summers to chill and to stop poking at the defendant. However Summers continues to be a poopy head and tells the court room that Jorge is a criminal that used his business to launder money, 10 million dollars in fact! And once he got caught he fled because he's a coward! So ladies, the two charges Jorge faces are money laundering and running from the law. The mariachis hear this and all jump up saying that Jorge is an honest and innocent man! The judge threatens to throw them all out if they don't keep quiet.

Summers questions why Jorge would leave the country if he was in fact innocent, Jorge explains that he left on the advice of his attorney who is actually the real criminal. He also says that his mother with tears in her eyes asked him to leave because she feared for his safety and that he in fact planned to return to the US to faces the charges against him. Summers mocks Santos and accuses him of using his mother as an excuse, this makes Coloso very angry and he jumps up and tells Summers that messing with someone's mother is no joke. The judge makes Coloso sit and Jorge has grabbed summers and looks like he's about to hit him, the judge makes everyone behave and Summers again bitches about how Jorge is treating him, the judge tells him that as a prosecutor he has rights but the defendant also has rights and that he is to leave him alone and call his first witness. First up, officer Derecho!

In other news the guys won the contest and are now 20k richer. Yay for them!

 My apologies again for this shoddy recap, but I've had trouble sleeping for a few years now and am taking sleeping aids to help, normally I can wake up on time but not last night, last night I had the joy of having a nightmare in which I had a baby and the baby was a hot dog. Yes, you read that right!
