Caray, Caray!

• Dave and the posse aka Simpson (now the new Dave replacement?) and move in on foot waving their pathetic pistols as the John and Oscar grouse over John’s taking YO!Landa instead of him.  Of course, while Daverted and the good guys go on foot, the bad guys, packing semi-automatic(?) assault rifles/sub-machine guns and the like, get away in the air as Viewerville no longer  wonders why we’re losing the war against drugs.  (Like just what’s wrong with this scenario, DUH?)  Yolanda has Dave in her sights but refuses to pull the trigger.  Well, John and YO!li try to escape in his pet plane, but it looks like Red Baron 1 won’t start.  John and she race to the next couple of planes. I cannot catch the discussion, but one of them I figure says she CAN with another plane/on her own while the other one figures she CAN’T.

• She gets into another plane—but has left her black backpack of who remembers what goodies-- and trawls off after John in one of his other planes while the shootout at the Narc-O.K. corral continues on the ground.

• Daverto sees the last plane racing down the runway and he has Simpson and some others jump into a couple of SUV’s to face Yoli down.  Simpson is screaming about crashing into the darned thing.  Dato is single-minded, if nothing else, and plays a high stakes death-defying double-dawg-dare-ya with Yoli.   YO! lifts off at the very last second before crashing head on into the SUV’s.

• Yoli is all smiles at what she’s pulled off.  Dave has somebody get hold of the flight tower near by or ??? He wants to know when and where the 2 planes and a copter land so the Feds can send in the troops.

• John gripes that the radios in his plane don’t work.  He has to use his cell instead.  He calls Oscar who’s got Arly watching over Rosalba.  She’s dying/half dead and O doesn’t have the slightest idea what to do.  Well, inform Yoli and see if she’s gotten off ok.  O warns his brother that he’s not ready to risk life and limb for someone who he doesn’t know or care a fig about.  John urges him to play nice till he can figure out what to do with the woman.

• Yoli tries with her radio but it’s worthless as well.  She tries using her maps.

• Dato finds Yoli’s bag with her phone in it.  The underlings ask what to do next with the fleet.—Examine of course.  Then there are the empty boxes of guns and ammo.  He comes across John’s radio and some printed out data.  He tries the radio and is in touch with Yoli’s plane.  She thinks it’s John.  Whoops!  He tells her they’re tracking her plane.  He closes the door and tries to reason with her for her aunt’s sake.  He’ll try to protect her.  She shouldn’t become a criminal like the others.  “--Don’t mention my aunt.”  She refuses to listen to a two-faced copper/federale and she’ll never turn herself into the Feds, ever! (The rest is not intelligible.)  Static.

• One of the other agents informs Dave that the gang left their financial books. (I think.)  They go over them.  He’s not really into it.  And the radio tower tracking the planes?  NADA.  A big goose egg.

• Back at the hospital, the doctor says official cause of death for the pilot is a heart attack.  Monica asks if something couldn’t have been injected to cause this (without clues, natch) and the doc accedes.  She tells the agente with her that she’s certain that runaway nurse had something to do with it.  Always a step ahead of them!!  Additionally, it allowed Yoli’s aunt to be taken in a helicopter.  Moni acknowledges that it means YO! has now transformed from a mere stewardess to a full fledged pilot.

• The radio tower suggests if the planes aren’t on the radar it’s only because they’re flying low to remain undetected.  And so, YO! finds her way back to the other field listed on John’s map.  She is blocked by a group of unknowns.  Turns out she tells the leader she works for Los Lucio.  He welcomes her and calls off his goons.

• Olivia is back at home trying to reason with her papi who isn’t interested. First with the crappy boyfriend and then she just sort of fell into this.  This is not the way they raised her.  Outside, Bette and Amanda are trying to get word from Arly.  He doesn’t answer.  Inside, Dad says nope.  Get the help you want from the dope dealers, not him.  He never wants to see her again.  Outside, Oli tells the others, ain’t no way she can count on Papi for a dime.

• At the same time, Zulima is checking out the current news online.  She see the airfield, airline, and all have been raided [allanamiento].

• In Michouacan, Villa Antiqua, Oscar is back and getting things put into order.  The foreman is not totally prepared to have them there yet.  However, the security is: he’s got his men all around the perimeter reporting back to him minute by minute.  Oscar wants a second ring of security so find more men.

• John shows up with Arly and wonders about Yoli.  Arly’s isn’t worried.  She can seemingly think on her feet.  O asks what John thinks of the little operation he’s got put together for him, worthy of Pablo Escobar.  John is non-committal.  As long as he hasn’t got his girl or his plane, this place is worthless to him.  Oscar says well, nice to know what’s most important to you and grimaces in disgust.

• Back at the other gang’s narc-ienda, Big Man/Yanez? cannot get hold of John to see what’s what.  He states he’s never seen a girl pilot before, let alone, one so beautiful.  She makes sure he knows she’s John’s girlfriend.  (So shut yer pie hole and let me loose.)  Yanez finally gets Oscar on the phone and wants verification of Yoli and her story.  Luckily for her, John grabs the phone out of O’s hand.  He verifies Yoli’s story and warns him to treat her like a princess. She and John catch up on what happened and how she barely got away.  He then tells Yanez to bring her to him there.  Yanez gives Yoli her pistol back and apologizes for not giving her the welcome the boss’s girlfriend deserves.  No sweat.

• Back in Tres Fuegos, DEA continue searching the Centroamerica offices.  Moni sees the lockbox was opened and is now empty.  “—You imbeciles!  It means the Lucios got in here and got away again!”

• Zeki is calling back to the Lucio’s hidden hacienda in the hills (of Las Aguilas?).  He gets no answer.  He hears the latest news of the latest confrontation with the DEA and shuts off the radio.  He notices a guerrero a few yards up the road.

• Moni now interviews the taxi driver who got “stuck” in the middle of the road by back-ending his car into another in the middle of traffic to stop the DEA’s pursuit the other day of Zuli.  He denies any personal contact with Los Lucio or their gang members.  He plays the dumb peasant.  He’s only missing the huge sombrero and his serape.  She lets him sweat before she decides to let him go and sets up a tail on him.

•  Moni talks to Daverto and finds he lost the trail when the gang flew off into the wild blue yonder.  Dave gets an idea to have Simp-sone put a tail on (the air traffic controller???).

• Simp-sone questions the dude as he ends his shift.  The guy tells Simp-sone the same under the radar story.  Sim tells the guy it’s a bit strange and doesn’t he really work for Los Lucio?  Of course he doesn’t!  Ahah.  Ok. See ya ‘round.

• Monica begins an interview with Unky Ernie’s long-time sleaze-squeeze, La Estela de Hella.  Moni is muy la impactada to find out Bella Estela is Yoli’s mami.  Moni informs Estela about her sister and how her now moribund grubby of a hubby managed to throw her sister off a balcony before succumbing The Grim Reaper himself a few hours later.  Estela says it’s a lie; Ernie was always a terrific guy and got along well with everybody except Yoli, who couldn’t stand him from the start.   She’s always been ungrateful—to this day!  News of the videos arrives while Estela is being interrogated.

• Back at V.A., Carlina is now taking care of Rosie.  Yoli asks Carlina what happened with the pilot.  He died.  While sitting with her aunt, Yoli overhears an argument between John and Oscar with Arly agreeing with something. The whole thing turned into a mess because of his little pet gal (?)  The decision to rescue La Consentida, aka, Red Baron 1 is made and Arly agrees to go with his men.    (I couldn’t make sense of this last discussion.)  John owes everything to the lucky charm that plane is for him.

• The videos, Moni informs Daverto, show the death took place around the same time that Yoli entered the hospital.  She has to be the one who killed Ernie.  It isn’t conclusive, he argues.  No, but she’s now their principal suspect.  She brings in Estela to meet and speak with Dave.  Estela believes Yoli did it and doesn’t bring up the history Yoli and Unky Ernie “shared” which Dave already is in the know about, but because she always had it in for the sweet, loving man—she cut him in the face, disfiguring him for life, and now she kills him.  Yolanda is sooo selfish!!  He defends Yoli.  Moni wants to believe Estela and asks for her help.  “We want to ask your help in finding Yolanda.”  The expression on Estela’s face is priceless…..
