I'll put up a recap later, I hope! Had my eyes dilated by my ophthalmologist at 2:00 PM and still seeing blurry. I am expecting this to clear up by air time.
not Jota, it's Gumball that is shot and dies (must be extremely bad Karma since of all the clear shots everyone had, no one on either side gets a scratch)
Vane is hot looking for Laura's killer, while cute adrianita looks on.
the shadow gang, facing sheer death at the edge of a cliff, are picked up by their outside man, later ditch the pickup, and run to the hideout, Billar Diamante, Shadow fires the manager and floorman with a bullet to the head, after all it is his place, Santi and jota look worried.
Alfonso has a TV interview over his death threat, his manager wonders if it didn't come from Conde's people.
Conde asks his assistant if she knows anyone at the american consulate or DEA, he's looking for a plan B, she sets him straight.
Diabla warns the Hand to keep an eye on Titi, Mari gives him the news that CataG will be at the drug trafficking conference that will be bombed.
ah, Albeiro sees no blood from his nose.
Sal drives the ladies home, he and Hilda kiss.
Shadow takes stock, yep, they have all they need for the task at hand, money and bullets, and Shadow gives us the rest of the story, he was working for Angel Face who took care of business for Fino, a blackmail/extortion racket, they suspected Shadow of robbing them, instead of killing him, Fino (the Hand) rapes and kills his pregnant wife, planting the evidence on Shadow, Shadow had Angel Face killed from prison.
the ladies leave for Fashion Day 2, Al stays behind to meet with jota's lawyers, hmm, and for some reason CataM is mia.
Titi and Mari rumble, he wants respect, she calls him a loser (and knows about Dayana), but all is well when the Hand is around.
Vane meets CG, Natalia, Val as they arrive in Pereira,CataG discovers Santi is one of the escapees.
Calvo pops in on Al at Hilda's, his lady's place, looks around and breathes in her scent, not here about albeirito, hands him the phone, it's Diabla, Al's eyes bug out, did he turn green, they have a date for tonight.
CataG sends Natalia to check on Val (who went to the bathroom), Natalia is getting good with weird faces, CG tells her to knock it off, Natalia gets to the locked room, breaks in, Val has flushed the sim card from that phone done the toilet, claims she puked, asks Natalia why she is stalking her, another reason, kisses her, (without the customary lick up the face, and did she just say she puked), oh no, is Natalia falling to the dark side?
Val tells CataG she is dizzy, wants the rest of the day off, no problem, it's a day off for all.
Calvo tells Al, it's an important date, if you are dying you have a date with God, but if you want to live, you have a date with a Goddess, does he call Al a pimpollo?
PRESO NO. 1 – LUNES – Parte 1 de 2>
Juanito is ready to smother his father, with Pia urging him on when Pedro weakly says: Ayúdame, hijo. and he can’t go through with it.
Adán and Eva are looking at an image of Adela Limantour, Mexican, and say she’s the same as the Italian [?] Eva says that Juan Islas Limantour is the son of Pedro Islas Cardán. She found a marriage registration of Pedro Islas and Adela Limantour. She disappeared, and her name was used to create a company. Adán says that this is how they got the money to buy all those mansions and the accounts that Carolina found in Paradise Island.
Diana appears to have Daddy Issues, big time. Now she comes on to Paco after earlier coming on to Ricardo Montero. Well, maybe it’s an ulterior motive. She wants Paco to get her mother off the island.
Voyo has come to Adán and Eva’s Bat Cave. He tells them that Maravillas is a landing strip where drugs have been unloaded. Eva says that they’ll take off in a helicopter from Islas Marías and fly to Maravillas. After that, Carmelo will decide where to go. Voyo suggests the mountains.
Some kind of rich guy and gal are admiring Crazy Joe, who’s sitting at the bar. [Well, there’s no accounting for tastes, is there?]
Some prisoner tells Caro that she’s there because her husband decided to rob a bank in Guadalajara. Clara approaches and makes nice. Then she says that she could never have imagined that that guy could only love Carolina. She says that, if she had the chance, she’d go right after him.
Carmelo is walking with Tencha on the beach and, I think, getting chewed out for bedding Clara. Suddenly Tencha collapses onto the sand.
Benito Rivas-Macin tells Federico Iturbe that Adonis Madrigal is Bautista Fernández’ campaign manager. [I’m going short here.] R-M says he spoke with Judge Linares, who wants to fix what he did. R-M wants the letter [email?] that Dalia left. Iturbe breaks the AA rule and says that the person who wanted to kill himself at the meeting was Adonis.
Later Adonis is in full revenge mode. He tells Bautista in a car that he wants to kill Islas and his gang and take their riches.
At the hospital where they’ve admitted Islas, Pia makes a call to someone about marrying the moribund (she thinks) Pedro Islas.
We see Islas in his bed and then a flashback to 1974, in Spain, where Islas and Guido Espinosa were students. Pedro approaches Adela in the library and asks for some help about a class. We then see them – two years later - having been married and walking down a staircase.
Guido is a wedding guest. He says he’s going back to Mexico to start a business. Guido snidely mention’s Pedro’s new wife’s millions. Then he gives him some kind of a drug in a twist of paper that he can take or not take – his choice.
PRESO NO. 1 – LUNES – Parte 2 de 2
The next scene is of Adela, still in her wedding gown, opening a bedroom door to find Guido and Pedro curled up in bed together, asleep!
In the present the prison doctor says that Tencha is weak, dehydrated and malnourished. Sara pipes up that her son is in prison, what does he expect?
Carolina and Carmelo manage to jump into bed together again with a flashback to their younger selves doing the same thing.
So, we’ve seen about 6 prisoners so far, but now they have a big lineup of about a hundred.
Crazy Joe has apparently bedded this Max from the bar and suggests a ride in Max’s yacht.
Carmelo tells Paco that they (Caro and Paco) will be blamed if he escapes 2 days after they leave. Paco tells him that he has a superior destiny. After some thought, Carmelo agrees. “Get me out of here.”
Before she leaves the island, Carmelo tells Carolina to put herself forward as a candidate for President.
Some judge is in the process of marrying Pedro and Pia [sounds like a name for a musical duo]. Juanito bursts in before the ceremony can be completed. Pedro, weakly, tells them all to get out. Guido shows up at the hospital with one Lagaretta, a notary, and goes into Islas’ room, forbidding Juanito and Pia to follow him inside.
On the plane leaving Islas Marías, Paco tells Caro that he agrees with Carmelo about Caro running for President.
At the dock, presumably where Max's boat (or more likely daddy's boat) is berthed, Crazy Joe gives some guy an envelope of money and reminds him about the time something is to happen. Just then Max rolls up with two chicas ricas. Joe at first muffles a curse but then decides it’s fine.
We go back in time again and hear Crazy Joe’s voice telling Veronica Carranza, in front of her computer, to put some money from a bank account into the joint account of Carmelo and Carolina. She’s surprised they still have a joint account.
Adán and Eva meet with Voyo at some taco place. Voyo says that the landing strip is ready for a helicopter or a Learjet. He says they’ll have help. There is a woman named Amalia, who used to be Carmelo’s girlfriend. [Uh oh! I remember when Carmelo dumped her for Carolina.] Voyo tells Adán and Eva that Amalia doesn’t traffic drugs, she processes them.
We see another lineup on the island. Segovia looks awful. Clara says he was wasted the night before. He talks about the impure having left (Caro, etc?]. And then he says he’s sending Carmelo to isolation so as to purify him.
Eva and Emanuel discuss the fact that the plans Emanuel knew about were changed. He’s a bit insulted, but she tells him the fewer who know the exact timing the better.
Novelera: So Carmelo wants Carolina to run for the Presidency ? Is he NUTS ? Putting a bigger target on her back since the co-conspirators have been upping the ante lately ?
El Final del Paraíso
Thank you, deb!
QEPD Gumball. Survived the poison only to get shot.
The look on Albeiro’s face when he heard Diabla’s voice! How long will this remain a secret?
Santiago who? How quickly Catqgrande forgot her husband of many years and the father of her children. But I guess when you have Albeiro and Titi after you…
How did that kiss taste, Natalia? Anyway, she knew it was a lie. Do we know if Natalia is into women? If she is or isn’t, will she see this as an opportunity to unmask Valeria?
Liking how the show is weaving the plot lines together: Shadow Gang-Black Hand Cartel-DEA babes.
dondi356
ah, thanks so much novelera! I always enjoy your recaps!
so now we know why Guido and Pedro are so close, Juanito's mother didn't take to it though, I wonder if she is still alive, and why the 2 names.
yep that was Virginia transferring the money to the joint bank account that Carmelo supposedly stole, but wouldn't this make Caro guilty too, maybe if she runs they will use it against her.
Chole convinced Francisco that Carmelo was destined for a higher path, and I think Carmelo agrees, now that he is fully behind the escape, Chole is working on getting him out of isolation.
was that a rifle, Crazy Joe had as a surprise on their yacht, I wonder why he goes to all the trouble with Max, must be some kind of ruse to leave a story behind.
it doesn't sound like Adan and Eva had a plan, I wonder if they set something up to expose Joe, and the leak.
ah yes, Amalia, but then I don't suppose you could go anywhere in Mexico without running into one of Carmelo's girlfriends, maybe they will take Clara along.
Thanks novelera! You really helped me out in understanding what’s happening. With all the editing, I feel like I’m missing things.
So we found out about Pedro & Guido. Not surprising. They were made for each other. Juanito must suspect if he doesn’t already know. Wonder what Pia would think? They are both indirect sex partners with Guido!
Did we get a reason why Virginia transferred that money? And interesting point about the joint bank account, deb.
I do think Adan is using a tactic to smoke out the bad guys, by giving a false escape info.
Will Crazy Joe sleep with and then kill a boatload of rich people?
dondi356
I was hoping someone would know why Adán and Eva called Adela the Mexican and then the Italian. I listened 3 times and I'm pretty sure that's what they said. But how can you be both. I suppose she could have been an Italian girl, studying in Spain, and then naturalized in Mexico after marrying Pedro. But still...
We did not get a reason why Virginia made that transfer. I sort of thought she was befuddled by lust. Apparently Crazy Joe has crazy bed skills - at least Sara thought so. It also crossed my mind that perhaps she was doing it out of spite because he married Miranda. They did indicate that Virginia was in love with Carmelo at some point in time. And he just thought of her as a good friend and excellent Chief of Staff, or whatever her role was. Not that he wasn't unfaithful to Caro, I just had the impression Virginia wasn't in that number.
dondi, the simple answer as to why Virginia made the transfer is because I think that's Crazy Joes voice telling her what to do, but I don't think we have the whole story yet.
novelera, hmm, my guess is they are doing research on the Mexican Adela Limantour, Juanita's mother, who mysteriously disappeared, but Eva has found a picture of an italian lady whose facial features are a 98% match with Adela, (is she alive with a new identity?)
telemundo is releasing promos of "El Señor De Los Cielos 7", it's peopleenespanol guess that it will follow "No te Puedes Esconder", but no word from telemundo as yet.
Yes, deb, I forgot to say that it was Crazy Joe's voice. I went straight to the reason why she'd do it at his behest.
Oh, and thanks for the part about the matching faces. Now that you've written it I remember the part about two faces. So maybe Adela is alive somewhere and Juanito doesn't know it.
I do have a hunch Guido is setting up Pedro's will in his favor. Notaries in Mexico have much more complicated duties than counterparts in the US. I used to be a notary, mostly to notarize docs for customers of my employer. But it was pretty much record the document in your notary record book, get a copy of the person's ID, stamp your seal on the doc and collect a small fee. I think notaries in Mexico can prepare wills.
Calvo has Albeiro knocked out, masked, and tied to a chair when Diabla arrives, he wakes him with a glass of water down the neck, Diabla leaves no doubt that she is alive before she goes, hmm, but Valeria is tied to a chair in front of Al as his mask is removed, he knows her from working for CataG, her brother has HIV, forcing for her to do what Diabla wants, it's not so bad, they just want information, but she fears that they will kill CataG, oh and Al gets to see his son who breaks down crying at the scene.
Jo is all about Hilda suffering, Mateos has discovered 2 of CataG's BFF prepagos are working for the DEA too, they used to use dogs to sniff out drugs, now they use bitches, laughs all around, he'll drop the bomb article tomorrow.
Shadow slides 2 guns to Santi and jota, nope, they move on to names, Santi gives up Zoraya.
Harley, Shadows outside connection, is tasked with finding Zoraya, Paola, and Shadows wife's killer.
Al is masked again as Diabla returns (apparently) not sure if she gave him the shot, first mission is they will live here together, Calvo assures him he will take care of Hilda, and was he flirting with Val?
armed Rafa brings CataG by to see her mom, no one is home, a neighbor tells her of fashion week.
Vane meets with our reporter friend Daniel (maybe he and Natalia can get together) he works at a paper nearby, did you hear, there is a 300 million peso reward offered for the fugitives.
I think Diabla with her biting, licking, has broken Al, not only the HIV, but they will kill his son, and Calvo will take out Hilda and her family, oh and Al's last mission will be to kill CataG, later Calvo pets him.
Vini gets testy about Titi, Dayana sets him straight, this is our turf now, and the Hand goes on about the C4 explosive for the convention center, and for something else...
Conde's phone lines are tapped, did he do it to record the Hand, as insurance?
Nelly tells Alfonso CataG will meet with him, he sends her home to family, remembering his or... Zoraya pitching a win if he makes her first lady.
fashionable CataG arrives at Fashion Week day 2, as only 2 of the designers are highlighted, CataG meets Sal, the light of her life, Liset throws in, OH, and top model CataM is mia, CataG refers to what happened 20 years ago (??, I thought it was a success), and the show goes on, (hmm, I thought CataG would be the model) CataG is off to the security cameras barking orders to Jo, totally cracking her facade, she needs a drink.
Daniel brings up the idea that jota may have killed Laura, in a kill or be killed situation, Vane wavers, jota calls Daniel for help, and soft talks the time with Vane, the shadow guys say no more talking to Vane, and arrange to have Daniel brought there.
Hilda's show looks to be a success, helpful CataG signs there is no news on CataM, Hilda collapses, she has no pulse.
PRESO NO. 1 – MARTES
Very exciting episode. We see how Emanuel and Miranda started their thing. She was the aggressor. These two are having dinner and Emanuel talks about Carmelo fleeing the island. He leaves the room and he and Adán can see that Miranda texted someone. It’s Crazy Joe, but they don’t know for sure. Emanuel then comes out and tells her what he thinks of her.
Chole gives the guard some kind of a love spell so she can get into Carmelo’s cell. She then has him escape somewhere on the island, saying Clara will come for him.
Mayorga’s gotas are apparently not so undetectable. Guido confronts Juanito with having poisoned his father. Juanito chickens out and begs forgiveness.
At the prison, Mayorga is not drugged and crazy any more. He tells Piña he’ll be on top when Bautista is President. He’s overjoyed to hear about Islas being in the hospital and knows why.
Belisario tells Ricardo Montero that Islas was poisoned and that there will be a war.
Islas dies. But before he does someone tells Juanito he’s not a match for a transfusion for his father’s bleeding ulcer. Maybe he should have a DNA test.
The vultures gather at Islas’ velorio.
Stupid Max and the chicas ricas don’t seem to mind the rocket launcher Crazy Joe has with him. They have a group sex in the cabin of the yacht.
Nato and Carmelo are looking for a place to hide. Looks like it’s inside an old lighthouse. They find a body. Nato says it must be the lighthouse keeper who went crazy. He’d heard the guy was crazy and threw himself off a cliff. Carmelo sees the full name of Capítan Segovia on the back of the corpse.
20 years ago a spit and polish captain in a white uniform arrives and encounters a nameless farero (lighthouse keeper). This weird guy freaks out when the captain wants to inspect the lighthouse and finds things aren’t working right. He kills him, apparently shaves his beard, but not his moustache and becomes our hated Capt. Segovia.
Chole has been beaten and hung by her arms. Clara tries to protect her and gets in his face. Chole appears to admit to Segovia, to protect Clara, where Carmelo is hiding.
Paco, Adán, and Emanuel talk about sacrificing someone. Emanuel has reservations. Eva tells Caro the plan and she also is shocked.
Segovia gets a fake order from Rivas-Macin to not let Carmelo escape. His second in command says they have to look for the rowboat Chole told them about with the plane. But eventually, with the second in command piloting the plane, they take off.
The Captain of the yacht and the rich idiots watch Crazy Joe looking through binoculars on the bow of the yacht. He raises his rocket launcher and blows up the plane. [Show of hands…mourners for Segovia?]
Carmelo tells Nato that that was his signal.
Crazy Joe takes off in a speedboat and then turns around and blows up the yacht.
A plane arrives. It’s Adán and Evodio pretending to be army officials. Nato says he isn’t leaving but Clara says she is definitely leaving.
Well that's pretty much it for me with recaps this week. I have something in the evening tomorrow, Thursday, and Friday.
Volunteers would be great, if only a few lines.
What I don’t understand about Pedro’s death: The poison was discovered but there was no antidote? They all waited at Pedro’s bedside and calmly watched him die. And what’s this about a bleeding ulcer? That’s what killed Pedro? I thought the drops caused a heart problem. There was a closed casket. Is Pedro really dead?
Guido to Juanito was spot on: you make big plans and then they’re too big for you to pull off.
Pia’s in big trouble now. She’s a liability. Guido knows the truth and he asked Juanito do you want her to pay for you both? Lazcano threatened her and Mayorga wants her dead. Maybe she will turn to the good guys for help.
Caro and Paco lunch convo: Ricardo opened her eyes to the fact that Caro and Carmelo belong together for all eternity. Paco really doesn’t want to hear it and neither do I but then they get interrupted by an escape update.
So there’s a difference between Belisario and the other bad guys? Belisario says he may be a rich SOB but he loves his country!
Legaretta is the guy Lazcano is speaking with at the wake who said his son Max isn’t coming. Max is Crazy Joe’s yacht guy, right? Joe, you blew it big time (no pun intended).
Adan, Emanuel and Paco talking about sacrificing Segovia and a pilot: Interesting that Emanuel has a twinge of conscience, Paco says they deserve it and Adan calls it oh well, collateral damage.
Segovia, sort of outed himself, saying he has never left the island. Not sorry for Segovia, but for the pilot who thought he was carrying out presidential orders.
Ricardo edited Caro’s interview with Segovia to protect her. Later they argue over the phone about a story she submitted about Carmelo’s escape plane getting blown up. Ricardo calls BS. Let’s meet.
Looks like Clara’s going to be trouble until the end.
dondi356
Sorry novelera, I forgot to add my thanks for the recap. They really are very helpful.
I can put something up for tonight's Preso but I can't do it until the next day around noon ET.
dondi356
El Final del Paraíso
Thanks for the recap, deb. I enjoy reading them.
I imagine Calvo must have really enjoyed verbally abusing Valeria. Just don’t get her confused with Diabla!
What’s up with Daniel Ceron? He’s rebuilding his life, no mention of his wife or child. The writers have him creep around in a weird hooded robe and mask. They can do a flawless face transplant for Diabla but they can’t do anything to restore Daniel’s handsome face? Did you catch that brief glimpse of him wearing the mask and hood while at work at the paper?
Daniel’s point about Jota killing Laura (I’ll include Paola, too). Yes, why can’t they claim it was self-defense?
Got a laugh out of the nosy neighbor taking a dig at Catagrande: Of course you don’t know about your mom, since you don’t come around here. That’s how all children are.
Berrios’ Zoraya flashback? I guess we will have to wait to see what happened between them.
dondi356
wow, what a show, fantastic recap novelera!
and great comments dondi!
yep, Juanito isn't related to Pedro, I was thinking the ulcer thingy was earlier.
Mayorga offers Pina the second in command job after Mayorga is named secretary of defense under Bautista, but wait, Mayorga is also planning a coup where he will be the Prez.
seems like everyone knew about the plan in the end, except Joe and Segovia, hmm, is Caro's article pushing Carmelo's death, and Ricardo is not getting the sadness.
I guess Juanito and Pia are still alive because everyone knows what idiots they are.
Segovia not being Segovia, what a twist, and they keep coming!
I see Eva with the jet guys too.
Excellent additions to my mini-cap, dondi and deb! Yep, that episode was one of the best yet. And it answered one of my questions: How in the world did a completely crazy AND incompetent guy get a job running that island prison? Of course the whole thing is still telenovela nutty. Wouldn't someone from the mainland ever have checked things out there? Why did Segovia's underlings never maybe make a phone call to say that their boss was torturing prisoners? [So this is how I might justify collateral damage. The blown up second in command never protected the prisoners.]
I enjoyed how the puzzle pieces fit together. They played Miranda, getting her to text Crazy Joe about the plan for Carmelo to flee. But, again, it doesn't make much sense since Emanuel said nothing, that we saw, about WHEN?
I did catch the guy at the funeral mentioning his son Max, grimacing because the kid didn't have the couth to show up at an important velorio. Since you typed the name Legaretta, is he the notary who came to Pedro's bedside? I googled Mexican notary. They are actually lawyers.
Hmmm - crockpot theory - Guido has an Italian name and the notary also. Adán and Eva commented (thanks deb) about the facial recognition between Adela and an Italian woman. Juanito, who's your daddy?
novelera, thanks for the wrap up!
ah the when, that was leaked earlier by Emanuel to Isa/Miranda/Joe.
Legaretta is the notary.
the Segovia wannabe, who had never left the island, couldn't even look out of the window of the plane. ha! (good actor, i liked him)
thanks for your comments dondi, they're fun.
I missed the dig by the neighbor, but could tell by CataG's face what happened.
the last time Hilda was out she had amnesia, amen to that.
DEB:

Hilda will win the sympathy card with her illness...
my tv was fritzy tonight,
Hilda is fine, just fainted, no amnesia, but embarrassed for the show, when leaving Sal assures her it was a success, he's proud of her, a kiss, watched by CataG waiting in the car.
Daniel tells Vane he will investigate and uncover all.
Mateo tells Jo he has enough material for a novela.
it's morning and Diabla rouses batman Al (who he'd look like with a couple of eye holes in his mask) who is chained to the bed (pretty much the same marriage they had before without the curse and drugs) she wants him to call Hilda, saying exactly what she tells him, failing once they give it another go.
Hilda is worried about CataM, does Liset say she likes Gabriel, when Al calls, he tells her he wants nothing to do with her, CataG or CataM, and don't call me, Hilda senses the hate, she feels like fainting, no, no, she's not pregnant, I don't think.
some flowers arrive, Liset reads part of the card, did it say who?, Hilda is worried about Al.
CataG meets with Sandra, Gabriel, Marcela and Vane to talk about Jota's case and the escape, Marcela asks about Al? oh he disappeared too, they figured someone masterminded it, but doc Santi helped, and someone had to revive them.
Santi and Jota awake on the billard tables, have a soda and chips for breakfast, Jota asks if they can trust Shadow, Santi says he thinks deep down he is a good person, also that in prison all he thought about was getting justice, now he wants revenge.
the world order are packing up to come home, Moncho too, yep, CataG owes him, an eye for an eye.
Al plays with his son for a bit, then pretends it's a game as he puts the mask back on, Diabla appears and tells him he will get the first treatment tonight, behave himself, Calvo hauls him away.
Vane talks to Natalia who puts out that maybe Jota is covering for Paola.
Daniel gets grabbed and brought before Shadow.
CataG talks to the colonel about CataM's disappearance, he'll also contact the police in Bogota about Hernan's disappearance.
Hilda tells CataG that Al said he was sick, going to die, Cata knows that, Al is the love of Hilda's life, but if he ends up with CataG, Hilda will be happy.
Sal swings by with a grim look and the magazine, the dark past of Cinderella, is it true, why didn't you tell me, he leaves.
Shadow and Daniel work through some trust issues while Dan is chained to a chair, Shadow promises the best story he will ever write.
CataG and Valeria meet with Alfonso (in Bogota?) he introduces the newest member of his team Lucrecia Olivares, who was a cellmate of Diabla's (anyone remember this, was it a holding cell in Colombia before they took her to that prison in Miami) Lucrecia sees Val and says I know you, Diabla doesn't even flinch.
DEB.. I lost close caption for a couple of days.. and I have to watch on the QT/quick -tip at the job/work..
...OMG..!! thankyou / thank's a bunch!!!! IT HELPED A LOT...!!
Salvadore kisses like bugs bunny..sorry..not feeling it...that over bite is distracting.. he should thank god some body like Hilda looked at him..punto…!!
Yessica needs to stop raping Albeiro, and threatening that little boy..
WHEN THE HECK DID CATAMEDIA and HERNAN DARIO NACHI .. FRIGGIN DISAPPEAR!!??

IT WAS FUNNY WHEN the lawyer asked CG abt Al.. girl you need to check your Narcissistic self..
so Santiago, has no kind of sympathy from you??? no wonder Mari is a sociopath.Mari is a no empathy.....Boarderline personality disorder ..the apple didn't fall far from the tree..
Santiago.. find your poor son, he is most likely in narco boot camp by now..
Just when it gets good, they chop the heck out of this show.
Why oh why did you have to take Clara with you, Carmelo?
Guido comes to see Juanito. He slaps Juanito and tells him you gave the gringo orders and he followed them. He killed someone but Carmelo probably got away!
Day before Carmelo’s arrest: Virginia watches Pia’s special investigative report on Carmelo’s serious act of corruption. She realizes what she has done. She makes a frantic call to Roger (Joe) and they meet. He tells her we are tools for something that’s much bigger than us.
Day before: Juanito gets a call from Ramses in prison. We will get revenge but Ramses is worried about Pedro ruining everything.
Day before: Pedro meets with Rivas Macin and pressures him to have Carmelo arrested.
Day of Carmelo’s arrest: Rivas Macin presents Carmelo with the charges. Carmelo says he will not subject the people to an impeachment process. Why not? He’d rather be arrested? And so Carmelo is lead away in handcuffs.
Present day airplane talk: Carmelo thanks Adan & Eva. He asks where are we going. Voyo fills him in but first asks if he has something with Clara. It can cause a problem where we are going. Carmelo doesn’t think it’s a good idea to hide out at Amalia’s but Voyo says it’s the best option and I’ll stay with you.
Guido’s PT is a Limantour—Juan’s half-sister although he doesn’t know. She informs Pia she’s become expendable, she’s in danger and says let me help you.
Rita Franco is reporting on the Carmelo escape and Caro is watching. Carmelo is missing and a plane from the island blew up. Is Carmelo dead? Rita will have more info when she returns. Lazcano tells Rita not to report the yacht explosion. She refuses to go back on the air. Lazcano says I can put you on a yacht, too.
Legarreta finds out about the yacht and shows up demanding answers. Who killed my son? Juan, care to answer? Legarreta threatens Guido, you don’t want me for an enemy. After Legaretta leaves Guido orders Juanito to clean up his mess. And Pia, go to the TV station-- gone are the days when you could fix things with your nalgas!
Caro and Ricardo talk. He says her article has set a commotion. They discuss Rita, the yacht, Lazcano. The bad guys are circling the wagons. We shouldn’t talk on the phone. Talk later.
Memorials to Carmelo have appeared outside Caro’s house. Candles, pictures, flowers.

The plane lands at Amalia’s. Carmelo thanks Clara for her support. Clara intends to stick with Carmelo for the rest of his life. He reminds her this can’t be.
Carmelo and Voyo part ways with Adan and Eva. Carmelo tells them he doesn’t intend on returning to power. His time has come and gone. There are others who will carry on. He hopes there will be no violent uprisings. He does intend to keep fighting for good in his own way.
Pia takes over for Rita. Special report tonight.
Lazcano and Adonis talk about Bautista’s campaign. Adonis is drunk, he says stop the special report and give Bautista air time. Lazcano says no.
Adonis goes to Pia and asks her to interview Bautista. No way. He makes a crude remark about keeping something open for him and she throws her drink in his face.
Bautista is waiting for Adonis in the car, Piña as driver. He is not happy. Adonis says it’s time to bust Mayorga from prison. We need him for the campaign.
Applause for Carmelo as he arrives at Amalia’s. Amalia welcomes him. He asks her for a hug.
Caro & Co watch TV. Pia reports that Carmelo got away and his plan involved the killing two people, Segovia and a Navy officer. How dare they blame us! Emanuel says, well after all, this was our plan. As they watch, Sara’s phone rings. Could it be Crazy Joe? She won’t answer the call but says it’s Iturbe. Right then Iturbe shows up unannounced at the house—Rivas Macin is coming over.
Father Aguirre stops in to see Tenchita. They talk about Carmelo. He’s come to say goodbye because he’s going to join him? What? Later, Tenchita calls Chinta. Does she know where Carmelo is? Chinta doesn’t know.
Cut to meeting with Rivas Macin. He asks them to join the Rui Palacios team. No, Caro is going to announce her candidacy and we want to be independent like Carmelo. Rivas says all you will do is split the vote and Bautista will benefit. Caro makes an offer to delay her candidacy, watch the polls. If it looks like Palacios will win, we will support him. The group considers the options.

Amalia and Carmelo catch up on 23+ years’ worth of stuff. They talk about their long ago relationship. He questions her choice of profession. She says she had limited options. She’s not a ruthless murderer like the rest. She only defends what’s hers. Besides, she supports 20 families with her operation. Carmelo says he will leave but he will be back one day to offer better options.
She says if you leave, please take my son, Placido. The kid addresses him as Mr. President. Carmelo’s wheels are turning, he asks Amalia, is Placido my son? Amalia deflects--he’s her son. So why do you want me to take him? Because this kind of life is not for him.
Amalia leaves them. Carmelo questions Placido. Why do you call me president? What do you think of your country? The kid echoes Carmelo’s words from long ago—it’s *bleep* but it’s my country.
Someone’s in the kitchen with Sara…and it’s Iturbe, who's poured himself a glass of milk. The milk is giving him a crazy idea to kiss her senseless. I guess he’s over his Dalia grief and legal troubles. He tells her he will scare away any ex-boyfriends. Uh oh. Then, Young Iturbe is summoned by the president, time to go. But first a nice little kiss for Sara and a last sip of milk.
Back to Amalia’s: Carmelo asks Placido, what do you know about your father? Placido says that he’s standing right in front of me. What else is there to know? Placido walks away, cut to Carmelo and we’re out.

Wow, fabulous recap, dondi. I gotta rush off, but will comment more later. And, yes, Carmelo had every opportunity to dump Clara. I can understand he didn't want to leave her at the prison, but IIRC the plane was going to take off for the Mexican mainland, so the writers just want her trying and trying to get him. Gah!
I rewatched the show this morning at telemundo and cleared up some things.
the flowers came to Hilda, the card read, "thank you for the exclusive and for making us so much money".
Gabriel suggesst that it was some motive that brought Santi and Jota together with the criminals.
Jota thought sleeping on the pool tables wasn't good because of the balls.
the hand is telling someone to follow someone, he tells the guys it's a matter from his past, Titi says sometimes the past will rise up to bite you, he knows.
CataG tells Vane and Natalia they will just have to wait till Jota and Santi contact them.
Hilda says Al is the love of her life as well as CataG's, they will have to work together, in the end if he ends up with Cata, she will be very happy, is that a glimmer of hope we see through Cata's tearful eyes?
Lucrecia Clivares was introduced to Diabla as she was brought into jail, as a prosecutor being held on corruption charges.
Again, thanks, dondi. Very disappointing, disjointed episode. No explanation of how Guido knew Carmelo hadn't been in that plane, or did I miss it?
And I was expecting Caro to confront Sara about her lie. She said Iturbe called her and he walks into the room a minute later. Viewerville is pretty sure it's Crazy Joe. Too bad the rich kids didn't film the group sex and put it on the internet before they were blown up. I am positive we'll get another Sara/Joe scene at some point.
I don't see the point of the big confab about Rivas-Macin wanting them to get behind Rui Palacios. I don't see the point of Rui Palacios at all. They don't bother to explain things at all. I was intuiting that R-M was having Rui as a place holder, thinking that somehow Carmelo could resume office or run again when exonerated. But everyone has said, because of some time period I don't understand, that that window has closed and he cannot be President again.
The actor is doing a good job with his stroke victim schtick, but I'm SO over it.
They keep pulling relatives out of their hats. Now the physical therapist is Juanito's half sister. So who's her father. I guess we assume she's Adela's daughter, or do we?
And then Amalia turns up with a kid, presumably the same age as Sara. I keep wondering if all this was scripted from the beginning or if they're throwing stuff at the wall to see what will stick. And Plácido resents his father for not being in his life when Amalia never told Carmelo about him. Please.
I HATE the way Virginia is portrayed as having been played by Crazy Joe. It makes no sense. She obviously was very conflicted when she did it. So why?
Can't remember if it was here or elsewhere, but I read that Telemundo is big-time worried about El Dragón on Uni and has scheduled the Blanca Soto novela opposite. I have no idea if Preso was always going to be this brief or if it's lack of ratings.
wow, excellent recap dondi, you really captured it all!
plus some sing-a-long, "someone's in the kitchen with sara".
what I pieced together about the escape plan from earlier shows, it involved a helicopter, and one was sitting there where they landed.
one day I watched videos on DEA ops in colombia ??, they pay informants for the location of the labs, but there are 2 kinds, one is where the leaves are broken down into a paste, and they had little interest in these, as the workers all scattered into the jungle and there wasn't much there, the others were run by the cartels, were more sophisticated, needed power to run all the microwaves, etc., where the paste was turned into the merc they sell, which made a big dent when they could take one out.
novelera, hmm, isn't Sara's current "I'll go away with you" deal with Joe that he get her father off the island?
I'm clueless on mexican politics but I got that Rui is the candidate for Rivas' "party" which seems important, but Caro wants to be independent, and as dondi pointed out will split the vote.
interesting that Juan's step sister revealed herself to Pia, but does anyone else know?
we still don't have the whole embezzlement story but I'm beginning to see where Virginia was duped into something, but she doesn't really get it till she sees it has been exposed and turned on Carmelo.
Deb, yes, Sara said she'd go away with Crazy Joe if he got her father off the island, but how is he going to explain blowing up the plane. As far as we can tell, he thought her father was on that plane.
Thank you novelera and deb, for your comments.
We need all the help we can get to piece this sliced and diced show together. They could have left out some of the beatings early on to make room for the important details now. Very little makes sense. Ridiculous.
So Carmelo has a kid with Amalia, kids with Caro, he knocked up Virginia and we are led to believe Miranda’s bun in the oven is his as well. Can’t wait for Caro to meet his son… but does it matter any more?
novelera, I think you’re on to something with the El Dragón theory. Preso might not have lived up to expectations and they wanted to end it before the Uni debut. So they're hacking it to death. The Blanca Soto show doesn’t look bad but it might not be enough to counter. deb reported we might be getting ESDLC 7 following the 10 days of Blanca. I haven’t seen anything about it yet, probably waiting until after Sept 30.

El Final del Paraíso
Thanks, deb for recapping, re-watching and re-recapping! Always love your comments, Halimacandy!
Daniel’s got a feeling this story is big and it is.
When Sal said you’re going to be in all the fashion magazines tomorrow, he had no idea! And Hilda just wants to make Sal proud. Poor Hilda.
Jo and Mateo: Two truly disgusting people. What will Sal think when he finds out Jo is behind this? That bomb will explode in Jo's trashy face! Come on, Mateo, explode that bomb!
No introduction for Natalia when the legal team arrives? It’s like she’s not there.
Marcela tells Gatagrande she could be questioned about the escape. CataG is clueless when Marcela asks about that exceptional man, Albeiro. Sure, Marcela will gladly handle his (missing) person (case). Marcela is also interested in CataG’s meeting with Berrio. Are we getting a certain vibe off of Marcela? Gabriel gets them back on track.
What’s the purpose of Diabla’s barely there lingerie if Albeiro can’t see it? And I do not need a revisit of their previous relationship. Please stop all that licking!
Both Nachi and Catamedia are missing? Did he kidnap CataM?
Magazine article: Not liking Sal very much. What a jackass. Maybe he’ll get over it, maybe not but Hilda deserves more than a lightweight like Sal. Nice that Liseth is there for Hilda.

I had forgotten about Virginia's having been pregnant! But do we think it was Carmelo's? I had thought he was actually being truthful when we saw him say that their relationship was about her skills in whatever role she had in his administration. Plus, isn't it more likely the baby was Crazy Joe's?
I'm starting to think Miranda's baby is Emanuel's and she has somehow seen some advantage in saying it's Carmelo's. Or else they're going with Miranda dying after giving birth and Carm & Caro bring up another kid.
novelera, you're probably right about Virginia's baby being Joe's and I might have jumped to conclusions.
But I do think Carmelo slept with Virgina. Didn't Miranda catch them in bed together? Or was that someone else? Anyway, Carmelo can't help himself and the women can't resist. This bothered me throughout the whole novela.
