Amar a Muerte, 12/14/18, Episode 30: Death Plays A Hand
end parte 1~~
Renata and Guillermo are going over the day's agenda. He's invited her to go somewhere with him just as Mariela, the Long Lost Girl Buddy, shows up with coffee and goodies. Ren gets introduced. Mariela is way too nice to gripe about. She actually gave Ren a gift of some cookies so she wouldn't feel left out. So, Ren cannot gripe when the meeting's cut short so Guille can join her backstage on a news set or something.
Jules meets up with Val and tells her about stopping by the design school and how she cannot afford it. When Val suggests applying for a scholarship, Jules says that's charity and gets angry then storms off.
Lupita is working out well at her new job. Perla, the manager/owner of the place starts to gossip about Panchito and his dog of a wife: she abuses him and takes advantage of his good nature. Just then, a man with a similar haircut to El Chino's stops by the cafe. Lupi runs out to chase after him. When he turns around she sees she's made a mistake.
While Jake's at the water fountain with his back turned, Fab and PI Dude stop at the print shop next to him. He overhears their talk and cautiously sneaks a look at the photo of himself that they just dropped on the floor. They want X number of copies and bulletins and what ever. Jake just as cautiously walks away and into the nearest stairwell. He spies and pulls a fire alarm there in the stairwell and everyone's got to leave the building. "--This is not a drill."
Karladine goes to Camillo's and wants him to cure her addiction. He does a memory regression on her. We see her in her old life. We see that after she's arrested there's nothing and nobody left in her house. We see her pour the gasoline and light the match. We hear her screams and then when she stops we learn that now she's at peace and is looking out the window at people.....Suddenly she wakes. (What a let down for Viewerville!! Right before we know what happened next!)
Lucia finds Jake and they discuss that she was about to learn something important and then this happened, so he'll need to bring her back later. They head for the car.
At the restaurant, Lupi says she thought the person outside was somebody she's been looking for. Perlita tells her that she should try putting his photo up on the internet to see who might know him and/or what news/gossip there might be.
Jules comes in and mentions to her mother that she had words with Val when telling her the school was too expensive for her to attend. Lupi tells her friends are there only to help with advice and yes, she stuck her foot in her mouth. Yes, she needs to apologize for the outburst.
Ren and Guille finally get to take that trip somewhere he invited her to take. She asks if Mariela is his girlfriend. He admits she's not, though his sister would like the idea. Ren asks if he's interested in Mariela. He looks puzzled.
Lucia speaks with Johny on the phone and tells him they need to have a chat but in private. She'll come to his office as soon as she gets to the news bureau's offices. Jake's all ears of course. However, he's got more pressing things to think about. He asks if he'll be needed the rest of the afternoon since he's got a personal bit of business to handle. She tells him to take care of it and she'll use the other driver.
When Lucia and Johny are finally alone in his office she tells him that Montilla was about to tell her something very important when the fire alarm went off. He's drop-jawed impactado to hear that Montilla now has a suspect for León's murder.

I haven't watched, yet, so I'm looking forward to your recap, Jardinera.
About yesterday's discussion about Leon's dynamic with his kids: I think that when his wife died instead of taking care of the kids Leon doubled his work hours and paid the nannies to do his actual work at home. Lucia just arrived in their circle, she couldn't have been the cause of the rift.
In the first episode I was a little surprised to see that Leon had a protégé AND three kids. Why the need to groom JohnnyBeTraitorous if he already had children of his own? He couldn't even tell what was Guille's major in school, how could he pretend for the boy to one day take over?
Vale surely needed and still needs a lot of care and attention.
And we keep wondering why Eva is acting the way she does: maybe her dating the bad boy was just a way to grab dad's attention at the beginning, but his obliviousness turned the whole thing into a possibly deadly situation for her.
And still now, when he should know better, LCJ still spends way more time with Lucia than his actual children who are all deeply disturbed and in pain. Simply bad parenting.
Adriana, but remember, he is still hiding who he is, so he can not just dive in as a Father, like he seems to now know he should and seems to want to do. When and if the truth eventually comes out I hopeo we see him make up for his previous lack of Daddying.
Anon at 9:29--As I recall, Leon was aware early on that Guille's heart was not in running a cut-throat media empire. He's the one than pooped out. I'd like to know how he found Johny or vice a versa.
Jar--Again a sterling recap. You should be on the Carvajal staff--well, on second thought, no. You craft your words and mind-pictures so perfectly. Thank you.
I'm feeling the lack of a touching scene (and I mean physically touching) between Luci and LCJ. It's ok for them to look at each other and for Luci to tell LCJ she only feels bold when he's at her side, but 'cmon, we haven't had a kiss since last Monday, and I should know--even though it was kind of left over from the Friday before that. Please writers, throw us some crumbs. Even a hand on her back or her touching his shoulder would be enough to carry me on.
Adriana, I agree with you, but keep in mind that now that Lucia has "hogged up" all of his time; he has very little time to spend with anyone else. Also, his main mission is to find out who killed him and seek vengeance...a lot on the plate for one soul. I do, however, hope that he does have a chance to get close to and "save" his kids---at least those that are salvageable because Eva is gonna be hard to save...she probably doesn't want to be saved.
Anita, it certainly would be good to see more of the physical touching. They do heat up the screen when they get together (literally).
I still enjoyed Renata's scene even though she was crying. The micro heating up was dangerous, but brought in a little bit of humor.
Kirby, baby hawks are too cute.
Since Karla's character was a main storyline in last night's episode, I want to express my gratitude to you guys again for clarifying her background for me.
Victoria, Johny was painted early on as a financial genius, as we know every successful empire needs one of those.
JOHNY CORONA
Es el hombre indispensable en el Grupo Carvajal, experto en finanzas y mano derecha de León, a pesar de su juventud.
OR:
JOHNY CORONA
He is the indispensable man in the Carvajal Group , an expert in finance and Leon's right hand, despite his youth.
Or something like that
The brown goat has never had a successful pregnancy, so she tries to play surrogate to the other babies. She actually got very attached to Black mama goat, so now she is helping take care of her grandnieces/nephews (I haven't checked for gender yet :-/)
Anita, Guille did find some strange activity in the books and told Johny that someone was embezzling money. That thread went nowhere.
Kirby--Despite his "youth?" Johny looks a little long in the tooth to me. Maybe a decade and a half ago he might have been a youth. Course, we don't know how long he was shimmying up to Leon.
Actually I never really thought about his age, I just thought he was fugly and in that same shirt and suit...Yikes.
What a great description of our obnoxious Eva. With wit like that, who notices typos? Not me.
Or this saucy description:
He's in no mood to mix bad boy bidnez with gettin' busy. Eva has other ideas, however. Mr. Bad Boy is gonna knock navels with her whether he wants to or not!! She throws him backward onto the bed......
Thanks as always Jardinera for brightening up a miserable day here in Columbus. Cold and relentless rain all day long. Not even a glimmer of sun. Plus the funeral of a good man and good friend. So forget the typos, and thanks for the lovely recap.
And Patio, thanks for being here. I would hate to think that CarayCaray might come to an end. There are so many of us who treasure our time here and the friendships we have made.
Mateo is destined for Susan once El Alacran and Eva are singled out as an item and who knows? Maybe Eva will become a convict or maybe she'll end up transmigrated into a beggar's body?
Jardinera, I'm having a hard time believing that Eva won't be "saved" by LCJ down the line. Isn't this one of the reasons he was given another chance, to see how troubled his kids really are and change things for the better?
RGV and Kirby, I agree that LCJ can't just get involved into his kids life all of a sudden and Lucia is such a damsel in distress (not to mention great to look at) that he's a little bit busy at the time.
But, I truly believe that if he paid a bit more attention he would see that his son is very stressed out (you know, covering a murder does that), his younger daughter is on the verge of life changing revelations and his oldest... oh, imagine when he realises that the guy who's chasing him in order to get him killed is sleeping with Eva, too.
And that brings me to Johnny again - why didn't Leon see Eva as fit tu run his empire? A bit macho or he could sense something was rotten inside that pretty package?
One other thing that I just thought about: if Guille told Johnny about the money laundering and Eva is the one doing the deed, why hasn't Johnny investigated? I mean, are they both stealing from the company?
Judy, I truly hope something can be done to save the site, but Melinama already wanted to close up a few years back and our passionate begging changed her mind. What could possibly be done now?
Jardinera, ITA that not all kids can be saved by themselves. Adriana, I also hope that LCJ will find time to at least provide some support and guidance to his kids. They really need to feel that caring and nurturing that he didn;t get to show them when he was "completely" alive.
Susanlynn, don't stress about Caray...have faith! There are angels in the form of loyal, dedicated members who will make sure it'll be here for much longer than you think :-)
Kirby- what does that mean about << Leon’s long range devilish plan?>>. I didnt know he had an evil plan. I thought it was only Johnny and Eva with devilish plans???? Maybe i missed something important: It eoukdnt be the first time!!!
ITA with you guys who think LCJ cant just “enter” his kids lives at this point. He will do what can be done when the time and circumstances permit.- in my humble opinion.
I think LCJ and Lucia’s lack of CARICIAS is very much on purpose — to frustrate the heck out of us TN aficionados!! When it comes, it will be all the more sweet, if you will.
Carole. AMOT
It's gonna be a wonderful day! Can't wait for tonight's episode.
AMOT, yes, the TN gods have a way of frustrating us; they really know how to push those buttons, don't they?
Hoppy Monday!!
Carole (AMOT)
Yipee...
I hopeo we get to see Mr. Johny B Dirtbag sweat some thinking that Monty might be closing in on him.
Since I got rid of all the males, maybe the roosters??? But none have a trace of feathers...hmmm :-D
