La Piloto #68 6.8.17: In Which Yolanda Makes Flies With a Snake
• In Miami, Wilmer gets out of the prison and calls Olivia. She puts him on loud speaker and he gives them the phone number for Ruben, the acting cartel leader, as well as the phrase they have to say when they call so they can get supplies from El Choco. Yolanda remembers when she was held there, at Santamaria’s base, and all the times she tried to escape before she finally did. Yolanda thanks him and they write everything down before hanging up.
• Dave gets into his car and calls Raul to confirm that Arley’s information was good and John was at the funeral. Raul then tells him that he is at Dave’s office because he just saw Lizbeth at the hospital, was able write down her car tags as she drove off and is currently looking for them. Dave thanks him and then tells Raul that he needs his help to return Arley the favor for his information. He asks Raul to get the report on Amanda’s accident and he will pass it along to Arley later. They hang up and Dave leaves the cemetery.
• John comes to his headquarters and the Pirana tells him that he’s still tied up though he hasn’t told him anything about the guns and money they stole back. Pirana then suggests they kill him but John shakes his head and asks Pirana to find out who won the election. Pirana obliges and John remembers all of the Senator’s threatens throughout the years.
• Dave arrives at the airstrip where La Consentida was and looks around. He asks for the information on a truck involved in the shootout before calling Yolanda, who doesn’t respond.
• Yolanda tells everyone that she met Ruben, who used to work with John, the day she found out Dave was a DEA agent and almost died in the cargo hold trying to escape if it wasn’t for Amanda. They all lament that Amanda is no longer there but Zulima remembers when she killed her. Yolanda then goes to call Ruben but notices that Dave is calling her. She pretends to have no signal and goes outside though the Lucio men look unconvinced.
• Outside, Dave asks Yolanda if she was present at the shootout in the hanger. Yolanda is quiet and Dave reveals that he already talked to some witnesses, who saw her take off in a plane. He assumes she needed it to start her new business and chides her for her lies. Yolanda tells him that he is incapable of understanding her situation and suggests he hang up the phone. Dave can’t let her go, he has to help her make the right choice, but Yolanda shakes her head and hangs up as Zulima comes. Zulima knows she was talking to Dave, and laments that everything has gone wrong, but they have to think about the baby and Rosalba. Olivia then comes and informs them that Lizbeth is back in the compound.
• In Colombia, Ruben oversees the production of his cocaine and orders his men to pack it well so it isn’t damaged. He then receives a call from Yolanda, who reminds him that they have met before, and Ruben smiles before confirming he does. She tells him that Moreno gave her his number but Ruben pretends not to know him until she says the phrase. Ruben confirms it’s correct and Yolanda explains that she reached out to Moreno, who told them what to do so that can could obtain some cocaine. Ruben confirms he has plenty but needs to know when and how much. He warns her though that he wants not problems this time.
• In Miami, Fajardo calls Dave and tells him that Wilmer appeared in the visitor log at the prison that morning and is currently staying at a hotel by the airport. Dave thanks him and Fajardo suggests they arrest him but Dave reminds him that he has no trouble with the law. Fajardo tells him that they can hold him and interrogate him though the window is closing in an hour where he has to go to the airport. Dave thinks they should do all that in Mexico and asks Fajardo to pass him the information so he can capture him when his flight lands.
• John and Pirana watches the news report on the election. Pirana thinks Sinistierra will win since he looks like a good politician but John asks him to go get fire wood. Once alone, John watches the video Oscar recorded, gets an email ready and waits for the results.
• Raul watches the report as well and Sinistierra and his opponent are currently tied. An officer comes in and tells him that they couldn’t find anything on the stolen truck that ran over Amanda but they ran the presents that were in the truck and got a hit. Raul opens up the report and finds Zulima’s picture and fingerprints. He slams down the folder and curses his luck.
• The girls count the money they will need in Colombia and Yolanda explains that they will leave tonight and flight low over the Pacific. Olivia thinks that it’s too dangerous because of poor visibility but Yolanda tells her everything will be okay. Olivia then goes to pick up Wilmer at the airport but asks Yolanda to keep her updated.
• Dave arrives in Mexico City and calls his agents, which inform him that Wilmer is on route to Mexico and will be there soon. Dave will wait at the airport until Wilmer’s flight lands.
• Vergara’s manservant, Alfred, pours everyone a glass of champagne to celebrate the fact that the Senator is finally President of Mexico! Lizbeth and Estela watches from outside the room and shakes her head at the news. Estela tells her that there is no distance between a narco and a politician a Lizbeth receives a call from Raul. Estela suggests that she not pick up the call and she obliges.
• Raul shakes his head but leaves a message on Lizbeth’s phone telling her to call him immediately as he got back the fingerprint analysis of the truck that ran Amanda over. He reveals that one of them correspond to Zulima before hanging up. He remembers when everyone that was hospital thought it was strange that the owner of the truck went to see Amanda after running her over but didn’t call the cops. He shakes his head, realizing the truth.
• In the plane, Yolanda explains to Zulima that visibility is poorer at night and she needs to look at the instruments inside the plane and not at the windshield because it won’t help. Zulima nods and thanks her as Yolanda remembers when she flew with Dave. Zulima then asks if she can pilot the helicopter on the way back but Yolanda shakes her head and explains she had to take a lot of classes with John before she finally flew. Zulima nods and asks if she can make a call to see who won the elections but Yolanda asks her to wait a little longer.
• Dave receives a call from Raul and explains that he is waiting for Wilmer so he can take him to Yolanda. Raul asks him to be careful and then reveals that Zulima’s fingerprints were found in the truck that ran over Amanda. Dave never trusted her but realizes that she may be after something bigger than they imagined if she also killed Amanda. Raul left Lizbeth a message but Dave offers to call Yolanda ASAP and hangs up.
• The Senator makes a speech as Vergara opens the door to the conference and asks Lizbeth and Estela to celebrate with them. Lizbeth shakes her head at Sinistierra’s hypocrisy when he promises to fight the narcos, who have heard their country so much. Estela asks them why they are celebrating if he will take them down but all the men are quiet.
• John watches the video again as Pirana comes and informs him that Santamaria is no longer in the room and there is a hole in the roof. John orders him found, immediately, but alive. He curses his luck.
• Vergara leads everyone in a cheer as Sinistierra’s speech ends. However, a news report begins immediately afterward and announces that they just received a video tying Sinistierra to the Lucios. They play it and Vergara curses Oscar before kicking everyone out of the room. The reporter hopes that Sinistierra gives a statement soon.
• John watches the news report and smiles. He declares that the Senator lost this war as Santamaria hits him over the head. John falls to the ground and Santamaria declares that they will now see how really lost.
• The Senator calls Vergara and asks how it feels to talk to the new president but Vergara tells him about the video. The Senator blames him for the leak, as he ordered John Lucio found billions of times, but Vergara is quiet and remembers when Oscar warns him that revenge is a long game and left. Vergara hangs up and the Senator receives a call from the Consul, who needs to meet with him ASAP as well as with the other leaders.
• John wakes up and finds Santamaria sitting in front of him with a gun. Pirana then radios John and tells him that they haven’t found Santamaria. John grabs the radio and asks him to continue looking. Santamaria smiles and chides him for his betrayal though John thought they were partners. Santamaria reminds him that he stole his money when he was looking for Dave. John nods and admits he did steal the money but Santamaria stole him from him first in Cielito Lindo. Santamaria is quiet and John proposes a deal: he will return the money if Santamaria disappears from his life forever. Santamaria prefers to find Yolanda, first and foremost, and he has been no help at all in that respect. John argues that he has as he receives a call from the Consul. Santamaria asks him to answer, since they could lead him to Yolanda, and John obliges. The Consul asks if he has anything to do with the video and John admits that he leaked it. The Consul needs to talk to him, ASAP and Santamaria suggests she come here. John tells her so and hangs up as Santamaria nods.
• Wilmer arrives in Mexico City and walks through arrivals as Dave finally continues to call Yolanda to no avail. He leaves her a message that Zulima is dangerous because she killed Amanda before hanging up. Just then, Wilmer arrives at the parking garage and calls Olivia to tell her that he’s waiting. Dave sees him, hides behind his car and sees Olivia arrive in a car and pick Wilmer up. They drive away and Dave follows them.
• The Consul arrives at Lucio headquarters and she orders her men to be alert. Pirana helps her out and leads her to the meeting room as her driver exists the car and walks away.
• The Consul goes to John but Santamaria holds a gun to her head and welcomes her. Pirana goes for his gun but John orders him to leave them alone. Pirana obliges and John introduces Santamaria to the Consul of Colombia in Mexico, Sonia Prieto. The Consul recognizes him as Arnoldo Santamaria and he welcomes her to their headquarters…

Thanks again Alfredo. A little action, but have we not seen most of these goings on before? We are still pretty much going in circles, but the Sinister one has been exposed.
I am a little confused about one thing. Do the hostage crew know or NOT know the new Pres is the actual head of the cartel? Obviously Ma Cadena does not know, but it looks like the girls do, but that does not make sense.
The episode here in Sarasota showed a little more, with Sonia trying too work a deal to deliver Yoli to SM in exchange for his killing Sinister. Or did I misunderstand something?
We finally got what we were waiting for, for the world that matters to know the truth on Zulima. The next few episodes should be a lot of fun.
And thanks again Alfredo.

Alfredo, but before the video hit YouTube, didn't one of the captives wonder aloud something like "Yikes, will he be the end of us?" or something to that effect?
Yeah you never know with Estella.
John has to know now how dangerous SM is and kill him at the first opportunity. It's like SM is playing with amateurs because he keeps getting the upper hand.
I hope Yoli gets Dave's message and leaves Zuli in Colombia but then I do want Arley to take his revenge on her.
Shouldn't we be in ultimas semanas? Only 12 episodes left right?
I really don't see how Yoli gets out alive but since this isn't on Unimas I'm going to say she lives.
They can realistically get up to about ten or eleven thousand feet without oxygen. Kick her out at that altitude, and she has a few minutes for the trip down during which time there is NOTHING she can do except wish she hadn't pissed them off. Ask Oscar. :-)
I also do not see how Yoli survives without stealing the plane and trying to fly to a friendly country. Or spend the rest of her life in jail.
Surprised the Consul would risk herself by showing up at Lucio headquarters.
Yoli not picking up on Zuli is driving me nuts. When Yoli was talking about the control panels, I could see Zuli's thoughts,"You think you know so much about planes. Well, I can fly too, bitch!"
If it is that easy why doesn"t DEADave use the same method she used, whatever it was?
If they get Yoli and put her in jail will she be in a cell near Monica? If Dave survives until then won't that be a hoot when he tries to sneak in to see one without the other knowing? Or will he just be upfront about it and visit both at once? In that case he might want to ask for his knife back. :-)

Plus, there's a 5 month transition period between the July 1st Presidential Elections & the December 1st Inauguration.
Kirby: You'd think Yolanda will figure out that Zuli whacked Amanda. We know that Zuli will likely go after the other Flight Girls.
Niecie: So the Consul is involved with the conspiracy too ? WTH is going on ? Is Univision trying to start a Super Series (see Telemundo's TN's).
TN rule #7, if you are banging DO NOT lock the door. Complimentary to rule #5:
If you have secrets to discuss, do so behind a closed door, but DO NOT check who is on the other side of the door.
How on earth did S&M manage to escape. Somebody didn't do their job right--or they DID, according to the script, so this can stretch to the full 70 or 80 episodes.
