Caray, Caray!

 Parte 1~~


• John suddenly suspects that Zulima and brother Oscar have been lying to him about Yolanda still being alive.  Zuli manages once again to “bewitch” the damnable bastard into believing she knew nothing; but Oscar apparently did.  And, Os didn’t kill Christian like he had agreed to either!  Estela is alive and kickin’ as well.  John is filled with self-doubt for once.  Muy pero muy impactado is he!  Could his brother really be defying him and going behind his back and… why?  Zoo plays Ms. Naïve and helpless. “—Well Oscar’s been really strange lately.  I heard the guards talking about things.  Forgive me!  I didn’t want to worry you.”




• Rosalba thanks DEA Dave for saving Yolanda from the Feds and jail.  Dave asks Estela and Rose for help convincing Yoli to help capturing John Lucio.  Rose is down with that, but Estela, being stellar with the ungracious in social intercourse, asks for Dave to remember she was about to get her own incognito house when she was taken hostage; so now that she’s back with Rose, could he get her back on track with that?  And while he’s at it, how about getting one for her in the U.S.?  Dave must explain that he’s no longer with the DEAD-‘ave to the Feds.  She’ll just have to stay with Rose for now.

• Back at the Mexican manse de los Lucio, Zuli tells John not to jump to conclusions about things.  She makes him feel king of the cock-walk and they get busy.

• SantaMaria and Rubio are currently hoofing it through Costa Rica and into Nicaruagua.  Dave calls Reyes who informs him that he’s found the patrol car they stole at gunpoint from a couple of dead policeman.  Unfortunately the cops and he have no idea what method of transportation they’re using at the moment to get through Central America on their way to Mexico.  “—Find all the possible ways/routes they might use and get on it.”  Reyes says yup.  He is on it.

• Dave is now at Monica’s new apartment.   They argue over how she thinks he’s only used all the rest of them as a means of finding his dear Yolanda.  Well now he’s got her and to hell with them.  She want’s the woman behind bars where she belongs.  She’s nothing but one more criminal to her.  Dave tells her she’s wrong and he needs Yoli to lead him and her to John for capture.

Their arguing is momentarily halted when she takes a call from Montgomery which she at least puts on speaker.  Ol’ Monty is probing for info about the shoot out at that secret airfield in Mexico.  She plays dumb and uninterested. “--Turns out a couple of agents, one looking very similar to the likes of Dave Mejia was at that shoot out.  Know anything about that?”  “—Why don’t you rather call Dave Mejia instead of me?”  “—I haven’t a clue where he is or how to reach him.  Has he tried contacting you?”  “—Nope.  Anything else?”  He invites her to meet him for coffee.  Better still, why don’t they have that cup o’ java at her apartment, he suggests.  “—Got to take another call coming in.  Gotta hang up now.”  Click.  She hangs up on him while he’s still jabbering away.  Ol’ Monty’s a bit perturbed at this.  He’s not used to being ‘dissed’ like that.

Dave tells Moni he distrust this dude Montgomery less and less.  He’s certain Monty’s in cahoots with the Lucio Gang and Las Sombras.  She replies that it would not surprise her one bit, especially knowing the way he always covered for Simp-sone.

• Zuli wakes up the next day and finds John has gone and left without word.  Neither she nor Oscar have any idea what’s up with him.  Oscar’s ticked off because they’ve always agreed Oscar should have his back and tell him every move John’s planning on taking, where he’d be, and so on.  Why not this time? He must have something against him/is planning something against him.  (Why, Os? It’s not like big Bro has a reason, right?  I mean, just how long do you think you can keep him from knowing or suspecting something?) Zuli plays dumb naive and dumber La Innocent.  “—Don’t be so dramatic, Oscar.”

• Meanwhile, Yoli’s travelled back to visit Olivia in Tres Fuegos.  After the niceties about Liv’s grieving mother, Yoli tells her how nice Dave was to her: he got her to her aunt and mother; he kept her out of jail and away from the Feds—even gave her back her father’s medallion.  Should she trust him or not?

• Back at Rose’s, Estela gripes to her sister that they’re going to be sitting ducks.  And speaking of sitting, she is upset that after five months of laying on a dirty floor with the cockroaches, her sister isn’t gracious enough to offer her her (one and only) bed.  (Like, there wasn’t a couch to lie on?)    Yoli calls to see what’s happened with them.  Mama jumps on the phone and complains to her as well about Dave and the situation.  Yoli’s got no time for this.  She doesn’t know what’s going to happen to herself, let alone La Mamacita Sufrida de Estela.  Estela hangs up on her daughter in a hissy fit.

• John’s been driving to see Yañez in Guadalajara.  He tells Yan to call his men for a meet.  Once there, John tells him and the gang he’s taking over and the base of operations will be handled from that manse from now on.  He also wants the airstrip to be smooth as silk again so they can continue their deliveries as usual.

• Yan doesn’t like the way John’s come to his home and usurped his control of his men and his base of operations.  They have a knock-down drag out about it.  Yan loses…for now.

Parte 2~~
• Ruiz is bad enough off with the problems with his legs that Dave wants him back in a hospital.  They take him to a clinic down the block. Ruiz reminds them that Lisbet is due in front of the judge today with her bail hearing.  Monica heads over to court since Ruiz cannot.

• At the prison, John’s mouthpiece gripes at Cañengo for botching Arley’s murder attempt.  Arley tells the guard when he’s put back into the prison population that he’s going to get even somehow.


• Liv and Wilmer still haven’t been able to get a good lock on John. It seems he’s done away with all the cell phone lines.  Liv tells Yoli that even if she cannot trust Dave, let alone Monica, she hasn’t many options left but to put herself out as bait for John’s capture.  Yoli says yeah, unless they can find somebody working for them that has also been screwed over and wants to ally with her and Liv.

• Back in Nicaragua, Col. S&M and Rubio have taken a bus.  Rubio is staring at the TV screen on the bus in which he and S&M are being shown and discussed on the news.  One of the passengers looks back at them suspiciously.  The colonel thinks of a plan B.

• Suddenly, Agent Reyes gets a call from Interpol telling him the exact bus and route the colonel’s riding on.  Some anonymous tip came in from a witness.  Reyes gets his reinforcements there and stop the bus.  S&M and Rubio are not on that bus.  Meanwhile another bus passes by unstopped.  After a bit of head-scratching Reyes figures out they were duped.

• Bette gets conditionally paroled with time served.  Moni is there and tells her why Ruiz couldn’t make it.  He cannot walk.  She calls Ruiz with the good news.

• Supposedly Ruiz is going to meet Lisbet on his feet and John’s supposed to help him.  (I think?)  “—She cannot see me like this, right?”

• John has Yan drive him to Tres Fuegos to check on Liv and her family.  “--Squeeze them a bit and we’ll find out where Yolanda’s hiding out.”

• Margot refuses to get out of bed or to go to Christian’s funeral.

• Reyes has one of the local police put out an APB and to stop for inspection all buses with a description like that of the bus to Upala.

• “--They cannot have gone far.”  And Reyes is right as rain.  He gets into his truck after the others have left and is immediately stopped by a well-armed SantaMaria and Rubio.  They get in and force him to drive at gunpoint for the north—unless he wants his brains spattered all over his brand new truck’s interior.
