Caray, Caray!

Miguel looks up from the video screen.  "--Where is Ricardo (Sr. Finances)?"  They ordered me to kill him, he tells Mig and Peligros.  Guajolote is the traitorous dog of a messenger who Peligros wants to kill.  "--It was me or him."  (Hmm.  Now that's something Miguel can relate to, considering his little chat-spat with Adela earlier.)  "--They killed the men.  I am sorry, Patrón."  "--Do my business partners know?"  Nope.  Ok.  Mig nixes Peligros and pistola since Guajo is the only one who's been inside since the takeover and knows the layout.  Leave him go."  Peligros growls to Guajo that he may have escaped this but he's still going to be bait.  (Viewerville ponders the possibilities.)

Ade wants to help somehow but Mig finally puts his foot down.  Jime wonders what's happened.  After Mig walks away Ade answers her that there's been killing and it isn't about to stop soon.

Mig walks outside on his way to his private plane; they're flying to CD Jimenez.  The vagrant, aka, bum who sits by the building day after day takes mental notes and Guajo must give Mig the details.  He calls Tacho and gives him the news.

Back at the ranch, Old Tati brings Dora a trago of tequila and secretly cuts the ties around her writsts.  Los Pacheco are feasting after the bloodbath they've just finished.  They get the word that Los Garza are on the way.



Upon takeoff, Miguel calls Chisca with the news.  She's got reason to be upset at what's been done to Dora.  She's told to take care of Jorge and not to tell him a word of what's transpired.  His emotional state is too fragile.  She promises not to go anywhere.

Back at The Tower, Ade gets Kenia to "keep Jorge occupied for the day".

Mig and the two Mexican capos are discussing events.  The two want to skin the bastards alive and then roast 'em or something like.  (Now THAT is vengeance!)  However, Mig won't.  Sometime in the future, maybe.  Right now the idea is simply to get her out of there without risking her life.

Guajo gives them the layout:  25 men, a couple in the guard house and the rest inside the ranch.  They are heavily armed with long guns and large guns.

Tati tells Skinny Pacheco he's got the rancho under security system surveillance.  Nobody will get in without his knowing first.  Skinny P.  hoops 'n hollers, counting his coups.  (--Whoever this actor is, he does play 'crazy as a coked up rabid coon' to perfection.) 

That afternoon Jorge wants to leave early.  Kenia talks him into keeping her company at her home since her roomie is gone visiting family and she doens't want to be alone.

 Epigmenio lets Tacho know he doesn't give a flip what happens to Los Pacheco and their posse.  Slit their throats, gut them, or not, it's all the same to him.  He comes away with their territory either way.  And, he's got his spy inside El Salado: Jime.

Speaking of which, the White Witch arrives at the mini-manse to wait with Chisca and Ade for news of the outcome.  The three bond (sort of) over tragos of tequila.

The plan is set in motion.  Peligros is to clear the way into the hacienda.

Hector's baby has a high fever.  The three of them will go to the emergency room.  They load up the car and just as he is about to turn on the engine, Ana gets the much awaited call from the pediatrician.  He's coming over.  No need to go to the hospital.  The family gets out of the car and returns to their condo/apartment, safe and sound. (Note: "no babies are going to be hurt in the making of this production.")

Los dos Pacheco want to have some more fun with Dora.  Tati gripes at them to leave her alone already.  There are other things they have to be ready for.  Dora sobs, but she's been left alone in the long run, for now.

Kenia talks Jorge into going back to University.

Jime gets a call from Tacho wanting an answer if she's willing to spy for them now or not.  She flashes back to the proposition she cannot refuse and then tells Tacho she'll give them an answer as soon as she can and hangs up.  She lies to Chis and Ade that the call came from her ex-novio.

Jorge is ready to go home.  Kenia manages to give him the hairy eyeball and convince him to stick around a bit longer.

Pig gets a call from his lonesome wife.  She wants some bed time story-telling from him.....

Los Garza take off in the late afternoon and arrive at night.  Peligros puts a plastic bag over guard #1's head and suffocates him.  He waits for guard #2 and slits his throat.  Tati doesn't see anything and wonders where the enemy are and if they've arrived or not--at least, by the look on his face.  Guajo gives Peligros' progress text to Mig, who is waiting to enter with his men.

Jorge and Kenia wake up early the next morning and have a heart-to-heart.  She accidentally touches his thigh and then excuses herself.  He tells her he doesn't mind it with her.  (Nope, I wouldn't think so.)  They sleep a bit longer on the couch together, innocently enough.

Peligros watches out for the security cameras and continues snuffing out the guards around the grounds.  The last two he garrotes.  "--The way's clear, Patrón."  Mig enters the house and uses ninja tactics to get them out of the way.  Somehow it isn't clear if he's kept them alive because he needs to fill the ranks again or he magically has killed them with a few karate chops and judo throws.  The rest  of Mig's men come inside the ranch with guns a-blazing.  Guajo takes bullets to the legs and chest and gut.  He redeems himself by unpinning a couple of hand grenades near a bunch of the enemy guards.

Inside the manse, Dora is rescued.  Fatty P notes they've lost the battle and Skinny says it's time to scoot.  He'll find a way out for them, however, Peligros captures him.  Mig captures Fatty.  Dora stops him from breaking Fatty's neck.  "--So you liked it, my queen?"  She pulls a pistol and shoots Fats in the forehead.  She turns to Skinny and does the same.  Dora, the queen of the dynasty, such as it is, and grand abuela surrogate madre , has been saved.  (Blech.  She got her revenge, but this corner of Viewerville would have shot them in a lower, more meaningful part of the anatomy first and worked the way up.  FF>>FF>>)

Dora, showered now,  gives Chisca a call.

Hector heads out to the market for diapers or something.  Tacho calls and taunts Hector on his cell.  He gives Hec the news that in three minutes his car will explode.  Hector does what all nice, NAIVE types try: reasoning with the unreasonable in society (the psychopathic and the sociopaths.)  He's a father with a child to raise and a wife, and... there are innocent people in the street.  (Dude, a murderer DOES NOT GIVE A FLYING FLIP!)  He finally gives up and exits the car, yelling at all the people in the street at the last instant to run 'cause there's a bomb in the car!!!   (Damn, I hope it's a company car!)   --KA-BOOM!
