Caray, Caray!

Lucky for Bernal that Miguel was at that meeting and saw him in front of the protesters.  As soon as the shots were fired Mig raced out and grabbed his schoolfriend and dragged him to safety.  Bernie asks what brought Mig there and he admits he was attending the Party of the Privileged.  Bernie complains of all the treacherous crooks that were there attending with him who were all involved in his sister's death.  They race to Mig's car and are only momentarily stopped by a group of policemen in their kevlar.  The head cop takes one look inside the fancy car and Miguel's super serious and determined expression and Bernal's wounds, then backs off.  (Viewerville supposes this will be a precursor of things to come.)

Meanwhile, Chisca learns they've run out of blow.  Well, then, time to go to one of Granpop's hiphop one stop shops to grab a pack or two.  She's stopped by one of Gramps's goons.  By order of her brother she's not permitted to enter the club.  Really?  She backs him into a corner and begins to seduce him then suddenly screams and slaps him as trying to get fresh with her and makes a big scene in front of the other goons.  First goon backs off.  She tells him he won't say squat against her and slut struts in and later out of the club with her bag of boogey.



Mig and Bernal arrive at Bernal's home a few minutes later.  Sra. Bernal is upset at his face and leaves Baby Bernal in Mig's capable hands while she medicates Bernie.  Of course we get a flashback to babymaking thoughts of poor Aysa.

A bit later Bernie and Mig chat about how Mig has turned into a syndicate boss.  Miguel has big plans to turn the family finances into legitimate enterprises...eventually.  Bernal's skeptical to say the least.  Miggy insists it is an idea whose time has come.  First he'll triumph in Mexico and then take the world!  Besides, Bernie can't be serios thinking he'll change government and police tactics and gangster issues with a simple journalistic screed.

Later that evening, Lamberto begins to moan and groan.  Chisca hears and races in to see if she can help.  He's embarrassed that Dora and she are trying to baby him.  The fact that he is ill and might be heading to the great syndicate in the sky sometime soon is brought up and Chisca freaks.  (Meh! >>)  She goes back to her bedroom and searches for a guy's website on Facebook.

A while later that same evening, Mig meets up with Adela The Driver Chick at a swank bar.  He asks her to take a walk with him for some fresh air.  They chat along lovers' lane and discuss if he's ever fallen in love.  Yep, once but never again.  He mentions's Aysa's discovery of a serious illness and her committing suicide shortly after.  "--Life continues."  She calls him strong the way he has overcome that sadness and loss.  He admits he feels most comfortable opening up to her like he has.  He believes they'll get along great as friends.

The next morning Mig's brother, Jorge, wakes up from one of (we believe) numerous lifelong negative-impacting-nocturnal-imaginings--aka nightmares. 

At breakfast Chisca and Jorge have made breakfast for their abuelo.  He is delighted and begins talking about how Chisca will be heading off for school in Spain.  Chisca corrects him and reminds him she's already been and come back from school in Spain.  He tries to re-orient his thoughts, gets miffed and leaves the table.

At work that morning while looking over their latest article, Hector and Jr. Reporterette have a deep discussion--at least on his part--on the likelihood of their writings making any change in the country's culture.  (FF>>  >>)

At the same time, Mig and Big Business Man/Politician? are playing golf.  Mig approaches him about investing his money for him and his partners.  He convinces BBM he's done it for others while in Japan and will do it for him.  BBM says fine, but remember "--we never like to lose."  "--Neither do I."

After golf, Mig drops by the old folks home where Addy's visiting her abuela.  He's got chocolates and said he thought it was time to introduce himself to grammy.  They leave shortly after and Mig offers the use of his private plane and pilot to her since he's going back already and she still wants to stay a few more days.

Tacho watches from behind a tree as the Garza gang checks out the doctor's truck.

Dr. Matasanas (whazizname?) informs the family that Lam is about to meet his maker sooner than later.  Chisca fights with Dora about moving Gramps to a hospital/hospice for more treatment.

At Epigenio's later that morning, Tacho informs Pig that ol' man Garza'a about to kick the bucket.  Pig calls up someone and makes plans to arrive in the D.F. right away.

Peligrosos discusses the possibility of moving Lam to a safer place where he'd be more comfortable, like in the D.F.  She still isn't in the mood to consider it.  She says she know her husband well and he was born and raised in this place and this is where he'll want to stay, through to the end.

Miguel arrives in Miami and meets with Samuel who he's asked to do some research on certain technology companies.  He gives him the name of one he's particularly interested in.

A bit later we see Miggy on a yacht getting the goods on one of the bigshots at a particular company.  He learns the guy's got a penchant for putting on ladies' pumps.  Mr. Young Bigshot refuses the offer to sell since he doesn't know who will be putting up the money.  He refuses.

Middleman informs him the guy's probably got a gatherin at a nearby hotel.  Mig bribes the hotel clerk for the room number.  He sets up cameras around the party room then watches the drag queen coterie enjoy Mr. Bigshot's sexy switcheroo to leather and lace.  Mig puts on his shades and suede and marches into the side bedroom where Bigshot and BootyBoy are making singular chitchat.  He pushes BootyBoy into the closet and puts a chokehold on Bigshot.  He threatens that if Bigshot wants to insure his friends and family never find out about his drag queen dalliances, he'll accept the offer for the company and sign the document that will arrive the next day in his office, y punto!

At the same time, Pig has a meeting with BBM/Pol who says he's up to his ears in crap thanks to Bernal's article.  He wants to know what happened and why in that nightclub.  Pig says not to worry.  "--Not to worry???  The guy's sister was murdered there for crimeny's sake!"

Later that night BBM and his sometimes squeeze gets pissed that she's not seen him for such a long time and now he's all lovey-dovey.  They fight and she accidentally hits her head and dies.  Pig and his two guerreros get rid of the body.  The BBM/Pol is indebted to Pig who says, then keep your promise.  When you're president I want to be (head of El Salados?)  Upstairs they chat again.  BBM mentions they have to take advantage first of Mig's financial prowess.  Then when they have no further use of him, he himself will throw the guy in jail.  They stand to make a boatload of bucks de EEUU for now.

On the yacht the next night in Miami, he meets Katerina, a financial femme fatale with lots of contacts.  They go to her place to seal a bidnez deal.  Someone takes a photo of the two of them on their way out of the marina.  Once they're at her place, they get down to business gettin' down.

Across the city, at the Miami PD? there's a cop names Howard Toledo and his junior partner who are on Kat's case for possible tax violations.  Jr. Partner put the pix up on the white board.  "--Who is this guy?  I want to know everything about him."
