La Piloto #77 6-21-17: Yolanda was--is--still--in Peril
Although I watched the episode last night, there's not much I can remember without a re-run (which I might do later).
I remember Yolanda being reunited with the baby--she gave him Arley's name (I think).
I remember John showing Sonia some horses and her getting a phone call from Sinesterra. She urges peace among all the rival factions.
I remember seeing a lot of mothers with babies all about the same age. Is it something in the water?
I remember Yolanda not having maternal instincts and the warden noticing she didn't know how to burp a baby.
I remember DEADave not being successful in getting immunity or some kind of protection for Yoli and the gang and not wanting to tell Yoli, but decides to go visit.
I remember Yolanda holding baby Arley and having some flashbacks.
I remember Estela pretending to have a bad cough and gets to go to the infirmary and learns where the mothers are housed. She doesn't seem to have any withdrawl symptoms from her alcohol abuse and is quite clear thinking.
I remember Yolanda taking the cranky baby to the clinic. He probably had a bit of colic.
I definitely remember the mother and child reunion--that is, Estela and Yolanda. They are straight with each other and there's lots of hugging and making up for lost time.
I remember DEADave coming to visit Yolanda in prison. He smiles and asks how she is......eventually they say how much they want to hug each other and trade te amos.
I remember Zuli asking her new friend PigTails to listen in on their conversation and report back to her.
Did I forget something Santamaria did? HELP.
All for now. Please continue conversation on the Patio.

Dont know why but for some reason...my interest waned when the crew decided to spend their last dollars on a plane (but I have been pretty busy). Anyway it didnt make sense at all with a sick baby on hand. The narcos forcing them back in the trade shld have provided a plane.
Anyway...glad Arley is still around but for how long. I like this character but not sure he is redeemable but I hope he meets his son at some point....not that he deserves to.
John continues to show a glimmer of concern for Yoli. And since he is the one that caused Yoli to cross mi col's path....it would be just if he could put an end to S&Ms reighn.
I did not see how Yoli and momy dearest could reconcile but its done. Sober or not i would not want stella back as a mom. I know she helpef with the escape and identifying Zuli as the snake she is...but her horrible betrayals in the beginning are a lot to overcome.
How long can moni..zuli...and yoli be in the same cage before all hell breaks loose.

The sick baby was always the ace in the hole. All the evil guys knew that baby was Yoli's weak spot. They didn't care what happened to the baby, only that Yoli should think she could save him by doing what they wanted her to do--and she did. Baby Arley was "delicate" but not sick during his sequester. He was premature and needed an incubator.
I really can't see DEADave and Yoli ending up with the baby. Wonder who it will be? Liz and Raul? Ollie and Willie? Arley by himself? Estela, Rosalba and Arley? Hmmm, now that would be an interesting combination--getting a fresh start in some Caribbean Island.
Thank you for mentioning John's glimmer of concern for Yoli. It would be a fitting end for MiCol for John to dispatch him, but in any confrontation, John would have to recognize and admit to S&M that what he did to Yoli was not worth a single peso of his life. I'd hate to see MiCol to just go out in a hail of Federales and DEA bullets.
I can see Zuli working her snake charms to turn the whole prison against Yoli and Estela. Has Yoli seen Monica yet? And what is with Monica's hair do? I don't know any prison that allows prisoners the use of bobby pins since they can be turned into a weapon.
MawCadena pretends to have a bad cough to get into the infirmary and while there runs into Yoli who is there with "her" colicky baby (which by the way Yoli has no fripping clue how to hold, feel, burp, change or anything) as noted by one of the guards who is becoming suspicious that Yoli is not the Mom.
Zuli figures this out and rats Yoli out to the warden and tells him who yoli really is, Yolanda Cadena the notorious drug pilot hottie. Editor's note: Even with one foot already in Hell Zooli continues to wreak as much havoc and cause as much pain and suffering as a whole coven of experienced witches..
But Dudley Dave has a new planB...C..D..and that is to get Yoli and the other gonrs political asylum.....He is going to pull some strings. Hmmmmm The strings Dave has pulled in the past were attached to that little safety thing on hand grenades.
Yoli has a good heart and is not vengeful, so I buy her forgiving Estela for a lifetime of neglect, especially since Rosalba filled the gab. But Estela's sudden motherhood pangs, nope. I agree this means Estela is not long for this world.
Niecie--You and Carvivlie may be right. Estela and Yoli needed this reconciliation before Estela lays down her life for her daughter, whether it's in or out of the prison confines. It's one way for Yoli (if she lives) not to be saddled with an alcoholic mother on top of everything else she'll have to be responsible for. (I see Dave less and less in the picture, as many of you have said from the very beginning. They've made him just inept enough for that to happen.)
We have been seeing signs of Estela turning over a new sober Motherhood leaf, but like Yoli in jail now, a little bit too little too late. It is hard to undo the things Estela did to Yoli and allowed to be done to Yoli at this late stage of the game. Repentance and forgiveness are good, but in many things, the damage is done. With Rose fro a Mother rather than Estela and Jack Daniels, Yoli's world would probably be far different now. It is very sad. My heart was breaking when Yoli and Estela were together, and again when Dave told Yoli that her get out of jail card had been fired, but I must admit life is that way.
Carvivlie--True. And since this is supposedly based on a "true" story (without DEADave), if she hadn't escaped (or avoided capture) and is hiding out, she'd be in prison. I AM dying to know if they change the end--or they don't. If they don't, that's what's making me think she and DEADave don't make end game.
I didn't see any glimmer of John being concerned about Yoli when SM said he was taking her to Venezuela.
Isn't John's plan out of the Godfather?
Last night showed the other side of John, in that Mexico is his country, which he loves, and he will live there and die there. And so even though he is a narco and has killed who knows how many people, he has a heart, of sorts.
I'm recapping Doble tonight, so I can't watch Piloto until late tomorrow morning. I'll put up a discussion page, but it will be blank. Hopefully someone steps in and fills in for us in the morning.
Your humble scribe,
Anita
