La Doble Vida de Estela Carrillo, #26, Monday Jun 12 2017: And the Dish Ran Away with the Spoon

There is no dish.
There is no spoon.
How can you eat your Hopeos without a dish or spoon?
Easy: pour your beer, wine, or milk directly into the box. It's moisture-proof! Then spear your cereal with a fork. Take a selfie and post it on InstaSnapFace!

Calao tells Danilo that El Dorado somehow failed to make a deal with Porfirio Pineda, el Baron, from the Los Altos gang. This is Danilo's big chance!

At the secret hideaway, Ryan asks Laura to promise they'll never be apart again. They kiss. She warns him that Danilo is dangerous - not so much on his own, but by way of the people around him. She doesn't want him to find out that she and Ryan are together. And she's worried that there will be a scandal about her being with Ryan and then with his brother. Ryan is angry, but Laura urges him to be patient.

At a bar, Calao carefully places his sunglasses under his hat. This is irrelevant, but I had to rewind three times to see what it was, so now you know too. For some reason, he and Danilo have come here to discuss the new client (maybe they're worried that his office is bugged?). Danilo wants to know what's the deal with this Porfirio Pineda guy, but Calao doesn't tell him much - only that he wanted to meet with Danilo. Danno thinks maybe El Dorado wants him to take up the clients that El D can't handle. Calao says in that case, El D will probably want a commission. Dani says no, it's HIS deal and he won't share! He asks Calao to set up a meet and not let BunMan know about it. He promises Calao a stake in the deal.

In jail, Chavalin is really pissed off that Leticia went and married a gringo while Chav was trying to help her. She's mad at him for throwing all of his good deeds in her face. She says Tomas is different. He helps her WITHOUT wanting anything in return. Chav is hard to understand, but I think he actually says he loves Leticia. He seems to be making himself dizzy. Now she says she's getting dizzy (flustered) too. She leaves.

In another detention center, Tadeo and Maria's cellmate, Waldo (or Baldo), is telling them that he'll probably get sent to the embassy or something. He was looking for his sister, who is staying with an aunt. His mother was killed during a crossing when he was young. Tadeo is sorry to see him go, because he thinks they could have been good friends. Tadeo promises to memorize his email address, which is either baldo95@mail.ho, or waldo95@mail.ho, depending on which language recaps you're looking at. (I'm sticking with Waldo, so later we can ask where's Waldo.)

Ah, maybe it's Valdo, because one of the guards calls him Osvaldo Capiz. He wishes Tadeo and Maria the best of luck. Tadeo watches with intense admiration as Valdo is led away by the guard. Maria thinks Tadeo must have reminded Valdo of his brother or something. All I can say is that those two guys REALLY hit it off.

At dinner, Laura tells Rosario that she and Ryan made up. Paloma is excited. (Will she blab to Danilo?) She feeds dinner to her bear. Yuck, here comes Danilo now. He jokes with the kid and more or less demands an audience with Laura, so Rosario takes Paloma up to brush her teeth.

Danilo is grumpy with Laura for going home from Furia without checking in with him first. She bristles at this. He thinks she should be a little more afraid of him. Actually what he wants is to get in her pants (he insinuates), but El Dorado likes people to be afraid of him. And she should be careful what she tells to whom. Sometimes it's safer not to know anything (it seems to work for him). He takes some food off of her plate and compliments her cooking (though I'm not sure if she was the cook).

Morning.

There's a meeting at Furia. Danilo doesn't want the band to perform at a free event. He wants them to do something bigger that will make some money. He's not going to go. He's got something to do. (No one begs him to reschedule.) Laura says she's willing to perform as Regia without the band for a good cause. Mercy suggests staging a fight between Laura and Danilo. Morgana wants to do some Los Jerarcas songs, but Ryan nixes this, saying it would confuse people because she's no longer with the band. I miss exactly what happens next, but suddenly it seems Danilo is all in favor of the show at the Primos ranch, and Morgana stomps out in a huff.

Laura finds Leticia dusting like mad in one of the offices. Leticia tells Laura she married Tomas, and it's okay because she only had a church wedding with Erasmo. Laura struggles to say something positive, but wishes Leticia luck in getting her kids. She thinks Leticia will be rewarded for looking out for her kids.

At home, Mercy gives Ryan a hard time for not claiming Paloma and for having Furia do a show at the ranch. No doubt people will find out that he has a history with that place. Ryan tells her to get off his back. Then Rita asks to leave 15 minutes early (she started her shift earlier for this reason). Mercy bites her head off. NO she cannot leave 15 minutes early!!!!!

Ryan helps Rita finish her work and asks how her boyfriend is. She says he's been drinking a lot. Ryan invites her to the show at the Primos ranch.

And suddenly, we are at the ranch. Steve watches with a goofy grin as Genesis makes arrangements. A YoungBunMan passes through the crowd. Milton tells his camera that it's for a good cause. Ryan introduces the band. But before Laura can take the stage, Morgana beats her to it. She tells the crowd that she's going to say goodbye.

(Laura is dressed head to toe in black, with long sleeves and tights. It's a sunny day. It must be 400 degrees under that big hat. Morgana's outfit is better-ventilated.)

Morgana sings a song. She asks the polite crowd if they want another. "Another singer!" Laura replies as she reaches the stage. She introduces herself as La Regia. Morgana tries to speak over her, but Ryan gets the engineer to cut Morgana's mike. He then carries Morgana bodily away from the stage. Milton watches Laura sing; he seems to be a fan, or is that a calculating smirk on his face?

Danilo and Calao are back at that bar where everything is lit in pink neon. They meet with some guys from the Lost Altos gang. Danilo makes a dumb comment about the Baron's age. The Baron says it's a family business, just him and his brother, no middlemen. They don't want Dani to launder their money - they want him to write a song. His gang is planning to take a bite out of another gang, so they want Dani to write a super-big chart-topping number one with a bullet hit that those guys won't be able to ignore. He wants it to be such a big hit that they'll even be able to recruit guys from the other gang. The song needs to mention Los Altos (his gang), plus Torreblanca, which is the name of the territory they're going to take over. This is just a test, but if Danilo passes, he can launder their money.

Laura finishes singing and introduces Jorge Eduardo and Gil Bocacho. She and Ryan plan to take off for the condo; Steve stays behind to "help" Genesis watch the rest of the show.

Laura calls home to check on Paloma and tell Rosario she'll be late for dinner. Ryan says he wants this place to be their secret love sanctuary. Laura is afraid Danilo will find out. Ryan says to forget about it. Then they have a long makeout session that probably doesn't include afternoon delight (Ryan doesn't ever take his jacket off).

Next day, Danilo and the new lawyer discuss where they'll put El D's money. Danilo says Soto looks "sick." Newlawyer says he's going to replace him. Mercy barges in and says Danilo can manage the band all he wants to, but ticket sales need to go through her. Dani says he could have a kid at any moment and then he'll be the biggest partner in the business. Mercy scoffs. Dani gets in Mercy's face and says there are three women for every man (wait, which three? Estela, Morgana, and ???) and Ryan is out of the running because he broke up with Estela.

In court, the judge says there will be an investigation to verify that the kids are Leticia's and that the marriage is valid. (Tomas simpers at Leticia.) Meanwhile, the kids can be released from the detention center and stay in the States.

Mercy has ordered Rita to ask her boyfriend to do something. We don't get to hear the particulars, but Rita doesn't want him to do it because he could get in trouble. Mercy says Rita's the one who will get in trouble. All she wants is for him to put enough of a scare into Danilo that he won't be able to "function as a man." Rita doesn't want her boyfriend to go back to jail, so Mercy the Merciless fires her and says don't ask for a reference.

Danilo gloats to Morgana about a newspaper article on the show at the Primos ranch. Morgana seems disappointed that it's not about her. She wants to be making her CD. Danilo wants her to be making his baby, or maybe he should try it with Estela? Morgana taunts him because Estela can't stand him. After all, he wanted it to be all over the news that he was with Estela, but no one has published that yet. She's curious what he's got on Estela to get her to cooperate with him. Danilo tells Morgana he's lost interest, and walks out on her.

Ryan comes home to find Rita crying on her way to the door. Mercy tries to intervene and accuses Rita of stealing, but Ryan manages to get Rita to tell him the truth. She doesn't actually say what Mercy asked for today, but she does tell him about the time Mercy paid Rita's boyfriend to steal a big envelope full of cash from Estela. Ryan tells Rita not to worry about her job. He walks her to the door.

Then Ryan confronts his mother. She says she arranged the robbery to "protect" him so that Estela wouldn't hurt him again. And in fact Estela did hurt him again, so Mercy was right. Ryan doesn't think he can trust anything Mercy says. He questions if she told him the truth about Pedro Carrillo. She sidesteps this. Ryan is mortified that she would hurt their business relationship with Tato (the client whose money was stolen from Estela). Mercy says the business is not as important to her as Ryan is. He says in that case, he shouldn't live with her any more, and he stomps out.

Morgana goes back to the fertility clinic, where the doctor explains again that her uterus is too badly damaged to carry a baby. Morgana demands that they find a viable spot in there somewhere. The doctor says it just isn't possible. Even if Morgana could get pregnant, there would be a very high risk of miscarriage. Morgana is enraged and threatens to accuse her of malpractice, but the doctor says she was frank with her from the beginning that things might not turn out the way she wanted. "IT'S NOT FAIR! IT'S NOT FAIR!!" Morgana shrieks.

At Tom's house, Tom tries to welcome the kids to their "new home," but Maria is sullen and resistant. Leticia says she won't force them: they can stay here, or they can go back home to Mexico. Tadeo is okay with staying here, but Maria wants to be with her father. Leticia tries to tell them that their father has taken himself out of the picture. Maria starts to whine, when Tomas interrupts with a sharp order not to talk to her mother that way. Then he adds, "please." Leticia agrees to take them to see their father.

Tomas takes Leticia by the elbow and pulls her aside. He doesn't want her to take the kids to Erasmo because it will undermine his authority over them. (What authority? You gotta earn that, dude.)

Mercy has summoned Joe to her home. They have a brief conversation about how important it is to her to keep their (past) relationship a secret. She's bummed because Ryan is mad at her because he found out that she was behind the robbery. She's scared he'll leave her alone in the house. Joe recommends that she apologize to Estela and Ryan. Mercy only wants Ryan's forgiveness, not Estela's. Mercy doesn't want any more advice from Joe! Joe tries to leave. Mercy puts the moves on him. With a pained expression, Joe says some people are selfish, and only ever call when they want something. She begs him not to leave her tonight, but he has no trouble slipping through that gigantic squeaky door.

So Ryan has gone back to the Love Nest of Love and called Laura for an emergency meet. He tells her the truth about the robbery. Laura laughs and says she doesn't have any more hate to spare on his mother. As a mother herself, Laura understands why Mercy would do so much to protect Ryan from the Estela who hurt him so badly before. She thinks Mercy hasn't done anything bad since then. Ryan isn't so sure of that. He reminds Laura that Mercy wanted Paloma for the extra 20% share in Furia.

Ryan is surprised that Danilo hasn't tried to get Laura in bed. They think he must be trying to earn his 20% with someone else - Morgana. Then they agree not to talk about Danilo, and share warm Smoochies (coming to a breakfast aisle near you!).

Morning... Danilo leads a blindfolded Laura to a big bus with "Regia y Los Jerarcas de la Sierra" emblazoned on the side. He shoves the keys at her. "You shouldn't have," she says, shoving them back, but she ends up with them. She is anything but pleased.

Apparently, Tomas lost the argument. Leticia knocks on Erasmo's door and when he sees who it is, he practically slams it in her face. But he opens it again when he hears Maria calling for him. She throws herself at him and he stands there, stunned, until finally he puts his arms around her. Erasmo lets them into the house and says aw, sorry kids, I just got so lonesome and didn't have any money. Maria says she'd rather live with him than with that gringo. Erasmo is stunned that Leticia got married so quickly. Tadeo retorts that she didn't need Erasmo's permission.

The hosts of some Univision show that I'm glad I don't watch rave about the band and the Primos ranch. Los Jerarcas will be Julion Alvarez's backup band at an upcoming show.

Bonita comes home and is less than pleased to find Erasmo's icky family in her nice house. "I told you we wouldn't be welcome," Leticia tells Maria. Erasmo backpedals and says no, he'll keep in touch. Tadeo says don't bother; we're used to not having you around. (Bonita rolls her eyes.) Maria whines that she wants to live with Daddy. Erasmo says they'll talk about it some other time. Leticia leads the kids out. Maria throws Erasmo a melodramatic look. (I think Erasmo and Bonita should relocate as soon as possible.)

A few days later (full moon), Laura says goodbye to Paloma before the big show. Paloma and Rosario will listen to it on the radio. Laura tells Paloma she's dreamed of this ever since she was Paloma's age. Music is sacred to her. Rosario admires her for being able to give it her all even while singing under these "conditions."

Next time: Guns, guns, 'n' buns!

Looking forward to it, Julie!

Can I just say: I loved that Rita threw MercyMe under the bus! Byeeee, Felicia!
 

Thanks, Julie, looking forward to the recap.

One cat outta the bag, another cat didn't take the bait, and the cougar lost its prey.

For whoever wanted to know the name of the kid in the cell with Maria and Tadeo...it's Osvaldo Capiz...did y'all see that look from Tadeo? was it what I think it was?

ALfredo, yesss, loved that Rita stood her ground and spoke up.

RgvChick


 

Rita was great. I guess she'd reached her limit with Mercy because she wasn't going to leave there without telling Ryan EVERYTHING.

RgvChick, the look I saw from Tadeo was... wow. At the very least, I'd say it was intense admiration. (I did say it was intense admiration, in the recap, but it's not done yet.)
 

Julie, I just wish Mercy had gotten her wish to "deactivate" Danilow LOL

RgvChick
 

Darn, I would have had fun giving him names...

#danutless
#danutsnomore

RgvChick
 

That was some "intense" admiration lol
 

It was like Marcia Brady looking at Desi Arnaz Jr.
 

That door is the one from Tio Mariano's house in TVAna. Hinged on the same side, two story house. Same house. This soon?
 

Yeah, that's the same big stupid door. And it squeaks now, too.
 

Recap done.

What do we think of El Baron? Is he a real gangster who wants Danilo to write him a song? Or is he a trap set by Asdrubal who knows very well that Danilo can't write a song to save his own life (perhaps literally)?

FOr that matter, is Calao loyal to Danilo or to Asdrubal?
 

Julie: Job well done.

Also congratulations to the Golden St Warriors on winning their 5th NBA Championship last night.
 

Thanks, Julie. Terrific job. You never know what's key here, so I was wondering too what Calao put under his hat. Appreciate your checking. Rats that it wasn't a bugging device to screw over Danilo. I sure hope this El Baron thing is a trap. I can't take Danilo being on top much longer.

So Laustela and Ryan are content for now with just kisses? Cute.

Yay! Maria and Tadeo get to see firsthand what an ahole their dad is. Grrrr, slamming the door in Leticia's face. Tomas is slowly unraveling. Poor Chavelin. I could feel his dizzy shock.
 

Magnificent Julie.

Had to pare down my list of favorites to "pour your beer, wine, or milk directly into the box. It's moisture-proof!”, “(I'm sticking with Waldo, so later we can ask where's Waldo)” and “YoungBunMan”. My hands down favorite was” Bonita comes home and is less than pleased to find Erasmo's icky family in her nice house” which mirrored the scene perfectly. Simply great.

“Danno thinks maybe El Dorado wants him to take up the clients that El D can't handle” and “he asks Calao to set up a meet and not let BunMan know about it. The conceit, the arrogance and the stupidity are mind boggling. “He takes some food off of her plate” clumsily and greedily. SO unappetizing. The boyish charm he exuded initially has vanished.

“Chav… but I think he actually says he loves Leticia”. While she seems like a nice enough woman, what secret scent is this woman brandishing to have Chav and Tomas at her feet? I feel Chav’s feelings are true/pure but Tomas’ are very much suspect. “Laura struggles to say something positive’. As do we. Alas, I cannot think of anything.

“All she wants is for him to put enough of a scare into Danilo that he won't be able to "function as a man." Oh, is THAT all?? Mercy, mercy me…the signs are clear. She needs to change and do so quickly. Otherwise, she will be alone and through no one's fault but her own selfishness.

"One cat outta the bag, another cat didn't take the bait, and the cougar lost its prey" was great RgvChick!

RgvChick and Alfredo, I think the look Tadeo gave Osvaldo could be interpreted several different ways. Guess we will need to see where things land. I suspect we have not seen the last of Osvaldo.

Julie, the El Bando storyline seemed to come out of no where. So, Danilo is planning to launder money on two fronts? The man has barely enough brain power to function, let alone be engaged in several nefarious businesses he is ill equipped for.

Badbun has his evil act together. I've no doubt he knows every single thing Danilo does and says. Interesting question about Calao. I think Badbun has many sources but think Calao is just another dull knife in the drawer along with Danilo. Neither apparently sees how dangerous Badbun is and refuse to heed the physical warnings they were given.

Julie, this was fantastic. What a way to start the day. Thank you!

Diana
 

Good Morning!!

Julie, excellent recap, thank you!!

Chava did tell LetMeBreakYourHeart that he was in love her, but I was puzzled with what she said when she left. I wasn't sure if she meant that she was flustered because of everything he had told her OR was she flustered because she was having the same feelings about him?

From what I understood, MercyMe was asking Rita to tell her boyfriend to cause some type of an accident for Danilow and to make sure he was hurt sufficiently so that he would not be able to "reproduce."

That bus Danilow gave to Laustela is too big to flush down the toilet, but she could always set a torch to it. I hate it when he puts things down her blouse.

"(What authority? You gotta earn that, dude.)" TomAss is showing more and more that he is going to be a control freak. LetMe only married him to have a way to keep the kids with her, not so that he could be their "daddy." He's not only a control freak, he is starting to be delusional.

Julie, I've been thinking that Callous is trying to help Danilow...mainly to get back at AssBun after the hand BBQ. He has probably been overhearing conversations that Assbun is having (off-screen). Since there was that meeting of the Cartel minds (which did not go well), I do think that "El Baron" is trying to get back at the opposing Cartel de Los Salgados. Looks to me like Danilow is getting himself in the middle of a Cartel war. If he makes it out alive, I will be very disappointed...I just hopeo Laustela and Paloma don't get sucked into it.

Gettin ready for chores...More laters,

RgvChick
 

OOpss, I didn't finish a thought above, Regarding, Mercy me not wanting Danilow to reproduce..I was going to add: she would be doing the world a favor.

RgvChick
 

Quite entertaining Julie. Thanks again for another jewel:-) I like your food theme 'an aisle near you' and the moisture proof Hopeo box. I still wish we had a workable way to write along with the show. We were doing it here a smidgen last night. That's cool.

Good for Rita. There is not nearly as much difference in MercyMe and DaniLow as MM would want you to think Bitch

I have always said you are not really an adult until you can see your parents as they really are. Ryan is getting there.

OMG it is the uncle Mariano's house with the huge door from TVAna. Now I want to see the outside of the house to be sure. And the one in TVA was two or three stories too. David Zepeda must be laughing.

Laura needs a big can of pepper spray or Mace to keep in her purse or BRA at all times. Did you like the way DaniLow took the liberty of dropping the bus keys into there? Pig.

Oh shit they had the real El Gordo Y La Flaca on. I guess it is all in the Looney Vision family. They are even more annoying than La Famalia Luchi.

You have to watch it sometime Julie when 'El Gordo' has a hot tub set up and gets his gordo ass in there with a couple of bikini clad honies. I have always thought W T F ? ? ? and headed off to the kitchen for Hopeos while that is on, bikinis or not.

You can't help but feel bad for the LetKids, but the little girl is a brat. Listen brat, this is the best your Mom could do, given what she was given to work with. You are the one who decided to take your chances coming in across the border.rather than waiting for your Mom to send for you. TomAss may not be perfect, but his generosity got your HappyAss out of a real pickle.
 

Ah, so that was the infamous Gordo y Flaca. Is that a morning show? I think it would give me a headache. I really need to watch proper news in the morning. AM while I'm groggy is the only good time for me to hear bad news.

Tomas is treading a very fine line. Everything he does is a red flag, but nothing he's done has actually crossed the line. Leticia stood up for herself very effectively when he tried to talk her out of going to see Erasmo, and Tom didn't stop her. She needs to have a serious conversation with him about boundaries and expectations. If he's a good guy and they can meet each other halfway, it will be fine. If they aren't on the same page, then it's time to call it a day. (I realize this will never happen.)
 

Thank you, Julie!

"Tomas takes Leticia by the elbow and pulls her aside. He doesn't want her to take the kids to Erasmo because it will undermine his authority over them. (What authority? You gotta earn that, dude.)"

I suspect Tomas may be one of those men who's adorably nice and sweet until they get married and then demand their wife submit to them. He's already flaunting his "authority" but once again forgets respect, which would get him a lot further. At least with Leticia and Tadeo because Maria seems like the biggest brat even though she lived through hell for a few days there.

Danilo, with ED's encouragement, has become a dumb force to be reckoned with. He actually thinks he can make moves without anyone finding out but the person who told him to do it is his current boss….hmmm…Danilo this seems like a bad idea, am I right?

As I said before, GO RITA!!!!!!!

Chavalin time to LetGofLetME but I also suspect you won't :(

 

Kirby, your comment about not being an adult until you see your parents as they really are struck a chord with me...

It wasn't until fairly recently that I was able to put things in perspective regarding my own parents. My mother wasn't a (complete) saint and my father wasn't (truly) terrible. It's a long and difficult road and sometimes our hearts want to hold onto the images although slanted as they are in our mind's eyes. Oh, beautiful pink bird!!!

"Tomas is slowly unraveling". Niecie, I totally agree. I "felt" an internal struggle where he managed to keep it together although he seemed to come thisclose to losing his cool. While he hasn't crossed the line (yet) Julie, I think it's just another step or so in that direction.

I don't know which side "Callous" (he, he RgvChick) is on. Is he loyal to badbun or is he trying to improve his lot in life by hooking up to Danilo's wayward wagon? Either way, it doesn't seem his future is secure or bright, does it?

Diana
 

Fat and skinny is on I think, about 4 in the afternoon. But I wouldn't leave work early to see it.

Hey TomLet should make SusanLynn happy as there is a now MARRIED couple in the show. :-)

WOW I just looked at the radar and none of this shuf we have in the Gulf is over at Texas. RGV is a scosh South, maybe of Sarasota, Latitude-wise but we are getting all the rain. Looks 90 and dry across the water.

The judge turned the kids out, so I wonder how long TomLet have to stay together for the kids status to "set', so to speak.
 

Thank you, Julie, this was fun to read, especially your reasoning when choosing Waldo's name.

I think Tomass will prove to be rotten for no other reason then the fact that LetMe already has a good guy in her corner, and that's definitely Chava.
What I don't getis how did that insta marriage help the kids get out of detention center. Woudln't they have to prove first that the marriage is valid, and not a fraud? There are no traces of LetMe arriving in the US, so this is all too plot driven and unrealistic imo.
Don't really stand Maria or LetMe, so this sl is getting more awful by the day.

Why are Ryan and Laura only kissing? Given their past and the fact that they're grown ups, I would have thought they can use their love nest for more than just plot agaisnt Danilow and smooch.

Speaking of, Danilow is really greedy - he barely just started the illegal stuff and now he wants his own business in the field. He's a tiny, very stupid fish, trying to fool - whale. Can't wait for his anvil...
 

Kirby, it is HOT here in the RGV...and super humid, so that makes even seem hotter. The bird is gooorgeous!!

Adriana Noel, according to what the judge said, the kids are only being allowed to stay until the the marriage is validated I don't know anything about the laws pertaining to immigrants marrying "gringos" but if I were a judge, I think I would see right through that marriage and send the kids and Mom back to Mexico...or a detention center until the marriage was validated...not the other way around.

So MorgaSlut was reassured that she can't have bambinos. I loved that the doctor stood up for herself--one more she-hero...yay!!

Adriana. "Danilow is really greedy - " ITA...Danilow keeps working on that hole he is digging himself into...I think he has reached the devil himself and the devil better watch out cuz Danilow will want to take over hell.

RgvChick

 

Alfredo. " He actually thinks he can make moves without anyone finding out but the person who told him to do it is his current boss….hmmm…Danilo this seems like a bad idea, am I right?" If only Danilow had a brain, he would see what you see. I first thought Danilow was going out on his own...independently, but after reading what you wrote, it makes sense that "ED" could be manipulating him into getting involved with the opposing Cartels.

RgvChick
 

Why are Ryan and Laura only kissing?

Adriana - I wondered that too. Maybe this is Ryan's way of doing repentance for hooking up with Morgana? But then I'm not clear on how much time has passed since that happened.
 

Niecie and Adriana, "Why are Ryan and Laura only kissing?" Is it really that they are only kissing? I thought maybe the writer's were leaving it up to viewerville to assume that they are going further...and left those scenes out for the sake of airtime.

RgvChick
 

Why are Ryan and Laura only kissing?

Maybe his tests are not back from the lab yet. (MorgaSlut.....you get it) Tee Hee
 

MorgaSlut telling the Doctor, "Well cant we just root around up in there and find a place that is undamaged?" sure makes it sound roomy.
 

Alfredo: "Danilo, with ED's encouragement, has become a dumb force to be reckoned with." LOL, truer words have never been spoken.

I also agree with those who say Tomas is trying to hold something back. He is trying to be good, but it looks as though he's fighting some impulses that he knows could get him into trouble.

I think Calao is probably playing close to the vest both with Danilo and with Asdrubal. Perhaps he's reserving his loyalty for a crisis of opportunity. Only then will he pick a side.

Calao was rather mysterious with Danilo about El Baron's backstory. Danilo should be able to smell a rat, but since he's been abusing his nose perhaps his sense of smell is impaired.

Maria is a brat for sure. I looked her up on IMDB and was surprised to find out that she wasn't in the TN I thought she was, but she was in TVA (I don't remember her there) AND she was in La Fea Mas Bella as a tot. So she and I go waaaaay back!

As for the mystery dreamboat boy, I'm willing to call him Vhere's Valdo since Osvaldo is his name. Who is he? Could he be Mercy's long-lost baby? (Wasn't that a girl, or didn't we know?) I'm sure we met him for a reason.

By the way, if the captions were correct and his email address really ended in ".ho," that doesn't appear to be a real top-level domain (Honduras is ".hn").

Adriana, Leticia and Tomas do not have to prove that their marriage is valid. All they need is the marriage certificate, which I'm sure they've already provided. It is up to the government to determine if it's fraudulent.

There is no reason to send the kids back to the detention center; they're not a flight risk. I mean, where would they flee to? Mexico??

Ryan and Laura only had about an hour together at the condo after the show, which is certainly enough time for hanky-panky, but maybe they abstained for our convenience so that we don't have to wonder if Laura is pregnant. When they met again at the condo later so he could tell her that Mercy had arranged the robbery, they supposedly only had about five minutes. (Also technically long enough for some people, but we're trying to be romantic here.) And yeah I actually did wonder if he ought to be tested for diseases.

Stunning photo, Kirby.
 

Kirby, MorgaSlut sounded stupid and desperate when she said that...as she did when she took the stage. The woman is becoming a slut scorned (in every way).

RgvChick
 

" He's a tiny, very stupid fish, trying to fool - whale"

Now I like that. Minnow vs Whale.

There has to be more to this "Write a Song" thing than meets the eye, especially LowIQ's eyes. With this guy wanting the song to reference a gang and gang territory and be published, it might be to show AssBun or Big ED that DaniLow(LifeExpectancy) is talking to and chummy with the competition. I did not completely follow all the machinations of which cartel did what, but it appears DaniLow may be swimming out into shark infested waters.
 

Thanks..Somebody.....here likes Pink Birds. :-)
 

DaniLow cut off her Slutness last night and told her she was on her own now, so she should now go find a job, start her own "business", find another band, or something to feed herself.

But this is a TN so she will do none of the above, I'd bet. Instead she will go running back to Ryan and tell him she has no place to stay and is hungry, or that she is preggers, or that she thinks her Lotto ticket is the big one and he can share it if he will take her back or ANY fripping THING short of getting a job or doing something gainful.
 

Kirby, El Baron (who is with the cartel Los Altos) wanted Danilow to write a narco song to send a message to the opposing cartel (Los Salgodos). The cartel Los Altos is going to take territory from Los Salgados and put in their "merchandise." It could very well be a very twisted plan that ED might have to heighten the conflict between the 2 cartels. My fear is that Laustela, being the lead singer, will probably be singing that song and the cartels may think she is involved.

RgvChick
 

I just remembered, El Baron said that his was a family business and that only he and his sister ran it...hmmmm, maybe he or she is MercyMe's long, lost baby.

RgvChick
 

OK Thanks now it makes more sense RGV Chick. I suppose AssBun and ED are in neither cartel then.

So will DaniLow clear this with MerciLess and RyaNoNookie before he places Furry Records on the Cartel Music charts? Of course not. Will RyaNoNook figure it out before it hits the streets? The writers don't even know.
 

Oh yeah, Danilo is in hot water for sure. I don't know if it will be obvious to EVERYONE what Danilo's song is about (if he comes up with anything), but people will be talking about that within minutes of its release. And Ryan will be very unhappy that once again, regional music is being linked to organized crime. I should think El Dorado would disapprove as well.

But this is all rather pie-in-the-sky because Dani is suffering from writers block.

I thought El Baron said he was running the business with his brother, though. I thought that was one of the guys with him.

Yeah, El D is a different cartel. I think they said recently that there were six in the area. That sounds like a lot, but I don't know how big the "area" is.

Morgana can't fake a pregnancy without covering up her excellent belly. That should make people suspicious right away that she wouldn't want to show off her baby bump.
 

Julie, I distinctly remember El Baron saying that he ran the business with his sister...that's when the possibility of her being MercyMe's daughter crossed my mind. El Baron said he wanted to take over the territory that belonged to the "hermanos Salgodo" so that cartel is the one that is run by brothers.

"But this is all rather pie-in-the-sky because Dani is suffering from writers block." True, but if he takes more coke, that'll unblock him.

RgvChick
 

I read the comments, and the patio is heating up. Just like here on my patio. We are supposed to go up to 90 again today .

Thank you, Julie. Love the title.

Wow..so much to absorb. Mercyme has now put out a hit on Dan's bawbees. Gak. dies anyone watch Game of Thrones?

Is Rosy giving us a PSA about the dangers of sleeping around ? How many partners has Morthanmost had do you think?

Ry definitely should get a shot of something powerful. Maybe he and Lestela ate bunnyhopping off page.

Dan is what....ADHD? Narcissistic? Or just plain dumb? Some people are their own worst enemies.

As for Tomass, he is becoming increasingly creepy. How long since he met Letmelaywithdanger? I can only note that bad guys can wear a mask for quite a long time. Then, one fine day.... .bam .the mask falls. Google narcissists..enlightening.We know that Chava will end up picking up the pieces.

And Joe steeled himself to resist Mercyme and walk out that big door like a big boy. Good on you, Joe.

Gotta make myself do some stuff. Later.
 

"I just remembered, El Baron said that his was a family business and that only he and his sister ran it". RgvChick, I admire you and others who have such razor sharp memories. I. Do. Not. :)

Julie, "Vhere's Valdo" has piqued my interest. The only character we've "lost" was the one one who got shot. See, I can't even remember his name now! Huge sigh.

Another bird. And pink. I'm in heaven. You are the best Kirby!

Diana
 

I heard brother too.
 

P.s. Kirby...I do like to see a happily married couple..at least one!!! Per telenovela but this weird quickie matchup between creepy Tomass and weepy Letmetrythis does not apply.

However, I am always interested, Kirby, in the little messages that you share with us in between your very funny observations. You are so right about looking back as adults and seeing our parents as they really are\were. I was lucky to have a very close and loving extended family around me. My mother's whole family was very close...siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins. No perfect people but mostly good and loving. I was lucky, and I was lucky to marry a good person. Sheer good fortune.

We have so many hateful hombres in this show. What message is Rosy sending ?
 

Kirby...it is so nice of you to share these beautiful photos with us. You are sending out some happiness and positivity into the universe..always a good thing. Thank you, amigo!
 

"We have so many hateful hombres in this show".

Indeed Susanlynn. At least our leads have a pulse and are fairly interesting. Say, as opposed to "Vino"? 'Nuff said. Although Ryan still isn't on my "good list", I suppose if Laura has forgiven him, then I must as well.

Talisman, Calao, badbun and assorted others are melting and melding into the "villain pot", with little to distinguish them (except perhaps bb's piercing, icy eyes). And with the second squad we saw last night trying to entice Dan into laundering money, we will soon have too many to keep track of.

That's not even mentioning those on the periphery including Mercy, Tomas, etc.

Diana
 

I do not know much about the Mexican drug cartels or Mexican music, but evidently they are like Taylor Swift and Katy Perry and like to sent out messages via their music.
 

Of course there has been a happy couple in this show. I saw them during one of the crowd scenes. They were off to the left a little bit.

Susanlynn, I hope the war between the cartels does not devolve to the extent of the Taylor vs Katy thing.
 

"This is just a test" the dude says...and I am thinking. ... when if ever has DanNO ever passed a test. It is not a question o if whether this numskull will be killed but by whom , where, and when ..and with of without his bawbees.


Now it is time to identify belts to prove that I am not a robot. Evidently, robots do not wear belts.
 

It seemed to be a challenge for Rita, Ry, and Joe to make a graceful exit through that BIG DOOR. I am confused. I thought the mansion belonged to Ry.

Toxic mothers!!! Lilian in Vino, and now Mercyme. Did anyone watch " The White Princess" on Starz? Yikes..Henry VII's mother!! Now there was a toxic mother.
 

I think the mansion belongs to Ryan, but his mother lives there too. And he would rather leave her than kick her out, I guess. It wouldn't look good for one of Furia's owners to throw his mom out into the street.

They should really build a regular-size door into the giant door for easier egress.
 

SusanLynn, if DanNO ever passes a test, he most likely cheated. The other test he may have "passed" could be the narcissistic anti-social personality test.

RgvChick
 

Julie..genius..you are such a problem solver. You could be an engineer. Yes, a smaller door in the BIG DOOR. That way you would still have access available for elephants, giraffes, people wearing big cowboy hats, people on stilts, giants, Shaquille O'Neill ...and the regular door for regular sized folks.
 

How many of you would let DanNO blindfold you ?......... ...Show of hands.
 

No blindfold for me

RgvChick
 

It would be THAT door's 'Doggy' door. Yeah, clever. Like I always wanted a people door in my garage door so I don't have go around the house or open the big door.
 

So...Ry unfired Rita . Is Rita going to stay in the mansion and just try to be anywhere Mercyme isn't or is Rita going to staying at The Love Nest which seems too small to need a maid?#ritaicouldusesomehelphere
 

Julie. If I get tired of Hopeos, are Smoochies good with strawberries?
 

Maybe. Rita could go help LetMe at Furia. They could become friends and start some type of support group for women with shady guys. I'd hate for her to stay alone with the cougar, she may end up bitten and scratched.

RgvChick


 

Thanks SusanLynn. I have learned a lot about life. Some of the easy way, lots of it not so much.
 

That scene where Danilow was uncomfortably close to MercyMe and telling her that there were 3 women to every man, and that one of his 3 was sure to get pregnant ...that's the second time he gets that close to her. I know he's chastising her, but is he also implying he might want to seduce her?

RgvChick
 

RgvChick, I thought Danilo's abrasive, invasive move was made with sexual violence clearly implied. Force, not seduction was the vibe he eminated.

Mercy has clearly rejected him as a stepson as well as a man and part business owner. He is getting bolder and crueler as his ego grows, unfettered.

Mercy would be wise to not be in the same room alone with him.

Diana
 

Susanlynn: "How many of you would let DanNO blindfold you? Show of hands."

Oh, yeah, no. Never. No thank you. I probably wouldn't let him walk me into an empty field, either. Or give me a bus, not even the Partridge Family bus. Nor stick a key down my boob.

I'm not sure if Smoochies are okay to eat or not. I know that in the 70s they contained 7 oz of sugar per serving, plus secondhand smoke and mercury, and were colored with Red #2. Ah, my childhood. But strawberries can only make them better.

RgvChick, Rita might like working at Furia, but she'd still have to deal with Mercy. She needs a totally different employer. Maybe she should go to work for Bonita.

And I don't know WHAT Danilo was doing with Mercy. I don't see any advantage to seducing her. She's probably beyond her childbearing years, plus she hates him. And, needy as she is (very), I'd hate to think that she could ever get lonesome enough to find him appealing.
 

Diana and Julie, I use the word seduction loosely. I shudder to think what Danilow is capable of...sexually assaulting her, not because she is desirable to him, but just to make her suffer would not surprise me.

RgvChick
 

Rgv...yes, whatzup with DanNO getting increasingly up into
Mercyme's space? I think that it is a form of intimidation and that he is just one of those guys who thinks everybody wants them. Also, he knows that Mercyme and Joe are lovers, so he probably thinks that she would be interested in another young guy. Getting close and touching women ...such a charming thing to do.

And the comment about three women to one man. QTH? I wonder who the third candidate might be in DanNO's tiny brain? Will he make a pass at Genesis? I also wonder why he has not been more aggressive with pushing himself on Lestela. Is he afraid of her because she isn't afraid to slap him silly?


Kirby..ah yes, the school of hard Knocks is verra effective !
 

Julie..when I was a kid , I ate shredded wheat because my father ate it. It tasted like hay.

Now, I am eating Multi grain Cheerios and K with Strawberries when I run out of Hopeos .
 

It also looked to me that DaniLow was trying to intimidate MercyMe, in a "sexual violence'' kind of way. If that is what he meant, she should take him up on it. Looks to be about all she has going now that she has sent to hell the only man on earth who gave a shit about her. I just like her less and less. No wonder DaniLow's Father strayed.

To fire little sweet obedient Rita because she would not ask BF to do something illegal is pretty low. And then look son #1 in the eye and tell a baldface lie. Go for it DaniLow.
 

I still eat shredded wheat. Whinnys and paws ground three times.

When the "Ingredients" is only a few words, you know humans may not have mucked it up too badly. Check out oatmeal. One word.

(I hope the HMs are dozing.) Doritos are good too.
 

Hi all.

I don't know who exactly the third woman is that Danilo mentioned.

He might have meant it toward Mercy (again threatening) because I don't see any third person on the horizon.

That is of course unless he is still thinking of the mystery woman from the first "killer" lawn party, whose face he never actually saw.

Anything is possible in that tiny, little feverish brain of his. Sigh.

Diana
 

My mother was very strict with what we ate.

Cereal was Special K with skim milk. Although she had the best intentions, I simply could not abide it. I don't eat it to this day. We never had salt on the table which was a good thing. My mother was ahead of her time, espousing healthy eating from the time we were very young.

Kirby, I have some good memories though of hot oatmeal on a winter's day and a few goodies here and there (buying hot homemade jelly donuts right out of the oven at our corner bakery). What I wouldn't give for one now! :)

Diana
 

Oh my, compared to you all, my childhood breakfasts were full of fats, carbos, and other tasty (not so healthy) stuff--TACOS...potato and egg, chorizo and egg, bean and egg.,, But I've gotten better through the years, now it's grapenuts flakes, oatmeal, or Cheerios. Tying this to the TN...my breakfasts were more in line with Paloma's breakfasts :-)

RgvChick
 

"were more in line with Paloma's breakfasts"

Now that explains a lot. You really ARE what you eat !
 

Susanlynn, I was thinking the same thing about Danilo hesitating to get rough with Laura because she might beat him up. But he could also be biding his time, waiting for the right moment to attack.

On the one hand, he is bigger than her. On the other hand, I bet she learned a few things working in the bordello.

I loved cinnamon shredded mini-wheats, but that particular flavor was discontinued. Kashi makes a cinnamon version, but I need MUCH more cinnamon to dispel the hay taste.

Nowadays I mostly go for eggs.

One of my aunts made her kids eat a small bag of popcorn for breakfast every day. It could have been worse, but that would have really ruined popcorn as a snack for me!
 

hmmmm, Kirby, I shall take that as a compliment LOL

RgvChick
 

I'm sure Laustela did learn a few tricks...after that flashback where she was fighting off at least 3 men...ya never know, she just may bobbittize him...and MercyMe would get her wish!

RgvChick
 

I really would like for someone to give Dani a reality check. It's way too early in the story for him to get knocked out of things entirely, but if BunMan would bitch-slap him into orbit I'd be much obliged.

On the bright side, it looks like there would be lots of guns tonight, so maybe Dani will get shot in the pants. (Maybe the experience will inspire him to write a song.)
 

meant as a compliment.

When we have seen the dark side, if you will, of Laura she has looked like Xena Warrior Princess. Clocking Talisman over the head and coming deliciously close to his or somebody's throat with the broken bottle shards was impressive. It is almost a forgone conclusion that DaniOneNut will get rough with her before too long. It is still beyond comprehension why TN girls whose lives tend to be perilous do not carry pepper spray or knives or those electric shock stun guns or garlic...frigging something besides lipstick and con ...um..mascara.

And what I still want to see is Ryan beat his ass. Ryan looks to be bigger, and a better fighter, and in far better shape. It should be a floor mopping if they ever really seriously get into it and it is a fair fight. I want to see DaniLow tap out. Then Laura can do that DisGrace thing on Ryan's arms and MEAN it.
 

bitch-slap into orbit, yeah ya, that is what I was trying to say. I wanna see him cry.
 

There are not enough Xenas in telenovelas.
 

Yeah, I catch Zena and Hercules reruns from time to time in our Heroes and Icons channel. I had a friend in high school who looked like Zena I always made her spot me when we had the horse in gym. Girl was strong .The boys loved her even when she dkapoed them around like Lestela. Tough,,pretty, and crazy.
 

Slapped.
 

Dkapoes! The salad topping that slaps you back!
 

Julie, glad you clarified, I thought you meant "decapitated" haha

RgvChick
 

That's really Julian Alvarez !
Holy Crap these guys are not screwing around.
First the Univision newsroom, then fat and skinny and now Alvarez.
Yikes,

A lot of real stuff for a TN

How is Dkapoes on a Spinach salad?
 

How dare Dalous pull a gun on Ryan in broad daylight? Ryan needs his own personal gun too then
 

And some bullets.
 

...at the least he needs a good knife...he can give Danilow a permanent smirk...and another belly button...

RgvChick
 

Another cat outta the bag...yay!!

RgvChick
 

Does DanNO buy his shirts custommade without buttons or does he just not button them? Also, why does he even bother wearing a shirt under his jacket? #callthefashionpolice
 

On a spinach salad, Dkapoes meets federal requirements to be considered fit for human consumption. Plus, YUMMY!

I think DanNO buys his shirts with the buttons on them, and Morgana rips them off.
 

And then you go tiny ! Good one Laustela. She shut Danittybitty down
 

Laura Oviedo is pretty cool.
 

DaniLow starts buttoning his shirts from the bottom up, but loses interest after the first two or three.

Even MorgaSlut was unimpressed, asking him whats the hurry or are you snorting a lot?
 

Mercy is sooooo negative.
 

And here is a beautiful, beautiful bitch-slap into orbit:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aPTp9RNvxKs
 

That was really cool, Julie! Thanks for the link.

RgvChick
 

Juls this was good n funny. Especially
That raging sack of absent hormones Ms morfindaplaceinmywombsomewheretputthe
Baby. And she didn't care who heard her business either.

I loved it when rita poured the beans
On merciless mercy.What was her parents thinkin naming her mercy? She has none for nobody. Not even her son,
Whom she claims to love so much.

Dumbnilower is that stuff under the pondscum. Yuck!!!
This episodes was funny. But tonight's
Episode was more so. I'll comment on that one tomorrow. It won't be late like this one was, had along day.

Thank you Julie.
