Por Amar Sin Ley, Season 2 Lunes 6/3/19 Episode 56: Family Affairs, Part 2


Scenes combined where it made sense to do so.

Mexico City: Sofia waited while Camila went for her tests.

Alonso called Lourdes after breakfast to see if he could see her later to talk. This doesn't usually mean anything good.

Adrián, Victoria, and Roberto asked to see Alonso when he came in regarding the case in Los Angeles. Carmen wanted to fill him in first.

Ricardo discussed the Carlos issue with Gustavo, telling him about what he found out from Sonia. Gustavo asked how this connected Carlos with organized crime. They finally decided that they needed to investigate all of Carlos' clients.

El Gringo handed four thick stacks of little green pieces of paper to El Chivo, enumerating what they were for. As El Chivo pocketed them, El Gringo pulled out a high-powered black pistol and reminded him about the penalty for betrayal. They parted company on El Chivo's word and a handshake.

Carmen went into Alonso's office to tell him about her sister's problem and to promise to pay her bills. He told her not to worry about it; his employees are family.

Ricardo called Sofia to find out how things were going. She explained the situation and that she was worried. She also told him she would call Alonso later to let him know what was happening. Ricardo told her not to worry about that and that he was sorry to hear about the doctor's suspicions. He offered his help.

Lourdes visited Paula to find out what happened in court. Paula explained it, saying that she had to choose between losing her home and losing a friend. She explained Jaime's argument of the situation, that Gilberto had taken advantage of her grief and tricked her into signing the contract that could have lost her her house. She still seemed to be in shock over it all.

The neurologist looked at the test results on his computer screen and informed Camila and Sofia that his suspicions had been founded. Camila had Alzheimer's Disease. She began to cry. Sofia asked what would happen next. The doctor told them that there were medications that could improve the quality of Camila's life. He also said that she needed to be physically active on a daily basis and he strongly recommended that they see a specialist and get psychological help. Camila began crying and was nearly hysterical. Sofia asked how serious her mother was. The doctor told her that her mother's condition was advanced. Camila was in denial.

Carmen brought her sister into Alonso's office. Mercedes didn't have the documentation to go to claim Ramón's body, so Carmen had to do it. Victoria was about to take her licensing exam and Adrián said he would speak to the Mexican consulate in Los Angeles. Alonso assured Carmen that the firm would cover the costs. They would be leaving the next day.

Lourdes told Paula that she would eventually get better. No time frame, but someday she would wake up and feel better. Paula hated losing Alicia as a friend but the worst of all was losing Alejandra, who had been her reason to live. Lourdes told her she had her and Jaime and a good heart. This was one more test in life.

Los Angeles: At the police station the two cops looked at a security video showing the shooting. The one who shot Ramón was sorry about this, saying he made a mistake. His partner told him he wasn't wrong because it looked as though Ramón would shoot at them. He was tired of illegal immigrants and said that they had to learn to respect the law. He told him that he was not to admit error; he was just doing his job.

Mexico City: Alonso assured Mercedes that they would take care of things for her. Roberto reminded the others that this was not over yet. Alonso had connexions and he asked Carmen to place a call for him.

Juan carried the TV set out to the moving van and put it on board. Susanna brought out her Virgencita, which Juan handed to the movers, telling them to take special care of it [I personally think he should bring it there in his car]. Fernanda came by and saw this. Juan explained that they were moving to a larger house in a more secure neighborhood. The usual goodbyes for this situation were said, with an awkward silence between Fernanda and Juan before she turned away to go to work.

Los Angeles: Mercedes called Erick to tell him that her sister would be coming to Los Angeles with lawyers. He was to talk to them and tell them the truth about what happened. He was in front of the police station and wanted to talk to someone and she told him not to. Which he immediately disobeyed when he ended the call and the shooter came out of the station. Erick accused the cop of being racist and he said he was only doing his job. That he was the law and must be respected. Erick replied that “We are the community and your duty is to protect us, not kill us.” The reply? “Only real citizens. Most immigrants are delinquents.” He threatened to arrest Erick if he didn't leave. Erick left,but not without saying he was still going to fight this.

Mexico City: Sofia took her mother home and opened the calendar showing the schedule of medications and exercise. Camila asked about a nurse because she couldn't be alone. Sofia told her she was going to resign from the firm to stay home with her. They disagreed about this, Camila telling Sofia that she had to live her own life.

Nancy and Carlos seemd to be the last ones in the office and he was preparing to leave. Once again he declined her offer to help with his new client. He was almost out the door when he asked what she was doing there late. She told him it was about El Gringo. They left together.

Later Nancy went back to the office and went through Carlos' desk. She photographed the pages in Michelle's file, including the copy of her ID card.

Roberto went to Victoria's office and they went back to their Beatrice and Benedick interactions. She did get serious about one thing, that she didn't want any conflict on the trip to Los Angeles. She called him out on his jealousy, which he continued to deny.

Alonso and Lourdes ate in a truly gorgeous restaurant and she told him she didn't know how to help Paula. He told her that her company and friendship was what Paula needed most, as he needed her. He had missed her when he was in Jalisco and told her he wanted her to live with him.

Juan and Susanna were moved in and still setting up the furniture. The Virgencita arrived safely, as did the memory box, and Juan had bought a large plant. He talked about having a housewarming party.

Roberto ate with his father, who hoped that this trip would help him fix things with Victoria.

Sofia researched Alzheimer's on the internet and found it disturbing. She finally closed her computer and slumped over.

Ricardo was at the office highlighting various information on the documents in the Ibarra file. He picked up his cell to look something up.

The next morning Alonso explained the absence of Adrián, Victoria, Roberto, and Carmen and that the case was pro bono.

Los Angeles: Carmen and the lawyers met with Erick who told them that when he got back to the car the police didn't allow him to explain the situation. He described what happened when he encountered the shooter. Adrián said they needed to get to the police station and talk to someone.

Mexico City: Marcella, the nurse Sofia hired, arrived at the house. She handed her the calendar with the information about medications and activity schedules. She was also to record any lapses in memory or other similar things as they happened. Marcella told Camila that she had cared for other patients like her and she was not to worry. She seemed sincere and she looked mature enough to have plenty of experience. Camila told her they would get along fine and asked her to talk Sofia our of resigning from the firm.

Los Angeles: Adrián, Roberto, and Victoria confronted the senior officer on the scene. They got the same bad vibe as Erick got from the junior officer. They pointed out that Ramón Chávez had been a legal resident and he would have to prove that he had broken the law.

UA: Good Job on the recap. Sounds like the senior & junior officer are dirty & downright corrupt!
 

Good title, pulling together the Camilla-Sofia story into the Carmen sister-in-law sad tale, and Juan and mama's move...as well as underlining Alonso's viewpoint that the law firm is in fact a family, supportive of each other as well as justice and the law.

Also loved this:

Roberto went to Victoria's office and they went back to their Beatrice and Benedick interactions.

I'm still not tired of this romantic nonsense. They're cute together, even when sparring...maybe especially when sparring.

But the unwarranted shooting of the young man just depresses me. Too much of that happening in real life.

Thanks UA. I'll look forward to watching this later today. Or tomorrow. Between yard work, babysitting, and recapping as well, I'm having difficulty finding time to enjoy all my telenovelas.
 

Thanks, Urban. I missed most of the episode, but your recap makes me "see" it.

The bad police shooting is a tough storyline, but at least there's more of Carmen this season.

I wish Lourdes would have a heart to heart with Alicia. Yes, it's awful for you that your husband is in prison, but he did take advantage of Paula and you (unwittingly) helped him. These are mature women, not kids, and they should act like it.

Roberto and Vicki have great chemistry. I'd just like to see the needle on the storyline move at least a centimeter.
 

I know what you mean, Judy. I will be out this evening with friends at a screening of a new documentary about Luciano Pavarotti, so tonight's recap will not be ready until 12 noon tomorrow.

While I fear for what this storyline will do to the US image abroad, this level of racism has to end if we are to call ourselves civilized.
 

Ah well, alas this storyline UA is no worse than the real life news in how we treat "others". Have a wonderful time at the screening of the Luciano Pavarotti documentary tonight.

Niecie, I see you like Carmen as much as I do. The actress has always managed to make the most of her usually small role in this, with very meaningful, soulful expressions. Before Lourdes came along, I was sort of hoping she and Alonso would get together. It does sometimes happen that way.

Wishing everybody a happy Tuesday.
 

Has anyone pointed out to Alicia that she was perfectly ok with Paula losing her house but went to pieces when they mentioned repossessing HERS? Some friend.
 





Nancy had on quite a fetching number on last night!
 

I don't think so, Blue Lass. In fact, I don't think it would do any good.
 

This is gonna get nasty. I hate hearing and seeing the racist part of this show. But it is the reality that
We are living in. Every Time I hear
Someone say what that officer said about Someone south of the border,it reminds Me of someone else. Nough said bout that.

Paula did the right thing. Alicia is
Gonna have to face the fact that her
Hubby is a lo-down wimpy scammer. He
Said nothing in court. He just wimped
Out, the only time he said anything was when he was yelling "No No don't put me in prison". I guess thats what
He was saying. Still, what a wimp.

"Alonso told her not to worry about anything,all his employees are family"
She's not an emplyee, she's the sister
Of an employee. But that's the way he
Do his bidness. Not bad al.

I wonder if nasty nancy is workin with
The federal people. She better be very careful cuz Alan is not afraid to kill
To keep the family secrets, secret.

Robby, Vicky and Adrian are comin up north of the border. They'll be professional. Some. Whom shall she pick? She is so enjoying this.

Good recap Urban thank much.
 

Yes Blue Lass I did. She don't care as
Much as she pretended to care. That's why Paula slapped her face over, last week was it? And she had the nerve to mention alejandra. Thats when she got the slap. Good one too. I think that was week before last. She can slap her again for me.
 

ITA, Nina. There's not nearly enough slapping in this show. ;}
 

Urban--Nice point by point recap. Thank you. Enjoy the Pavarotti biopic. The first time I ever heard him was in a Tower Record Shop and he was singing the aria from La Fille du Regiment with the 9 Hi Cs. Then a couple of decades later I heard Juan Diego Florez do it--not long after they made him do an encore at the Met--and nailed it. (It was pointed out that encores of an aria are VERY rare at the Met.) I'm a big fan of JDF, but that began with his performance of La Sonnambula--he had me at Perdoname.

Now back to PASL.

Nina I agree with you regarding the depiction of "so called" peace officers in the U.S. I mentioned how disappointed I was after the episode where Ramon got shot. If it were only these two, but Adrian/Robby said the law protects the police in the U.S. so it will be a tough case. They are starting off with a he said/they said and not much else. I bet that dashboard cam never again sees the light of day.

We have all suspected Nancy to be a Fed plant, but we've never seen her report to any FBI person. I suspect she's very much like Alan and Carlos--out for what she can get for herself. She's shown she's good at her job of bribing police for information (the security tapes).
 

And anyone who opens CAVALLERIA RUSTICANA has me at "Lola." [[[sigh]]]
 

Nancy is definitely out for herself, but she doesn't know that Alan is a killer. He has managed to keep that very much under wraps so far. While I don't like what she does she doesn't deserve to be a murder victim if she finds him out, but she will go down with Carlos when his dealings with El Ciego come to light.

BTW, I have two versions of Cav/Pag. The tenors are Domingo and Kaufmann.
 

mmmmmmmDomingo
 

mmmmmmmmKaufmann

but Juan Diego Florez is to swoooooooon over.
 

I've met all three of them. What you see is what you get!
 

All three really decent guys off stage.
