Caray, Caray!

It was a killer 24 hrs., but Chisca is now out of danger and being readied for the flight back to Mexico is the gist of Jorge and Miguel's conversation.  Jorge will get all the medical equipment for her recovery at home and hire a nursing service and 2 docs to live at the house during her recovery.  They cannot enjoy the luxury of a clinic as whoever was behind all the mayhem might find her and attack them all again.  Jorge takes the time here to apologize for keeping quiet about Valentin; the dude never squared with him.  Mig says it's his fault since the guy was his best buddy and did all of this right under his nose.  However, he's back in the samurai saddle and from here on out he'll have the blinders off.  (Pardon the mixed metaphor--if there is one here.)


Meanwhile, Epigmenio sends El Lobo to arrange Braulio travels to the mas allá.

Back at the Spanish hospital, Ishiro and Miguel discuss the Bushido response to all the mass killing of the past 24-48 hrs.  As a Samurai, Mig is not to bloody his hands when enraged or dishonored.  There is the Yakuza to do his dirty work for him, and Ishi has done his duty.  He's noted that Mig is in love and cannot go to his beloved with blood on his hands; Ishi may also be in love but his duty is to kill and he's had blood on his hands from the beginning.  But, now, Mig has to know if Ishi is in love with Chis?  No response, just a lowering of his head.

In Mexico at the manse, Dora is griping about how her hubby wouldn't have given the whole El Salado if he'd known the way Mig would handle things.  Adela tells her to suck it up.  Life happens.  Dora replies what does she know?  She's only a woman blinded by love.  Oh, says Adi,  I suppose Don Lamberto never screwed up?  Dora won't say more and storms off to bed.

Back to Chis and Miggy.  She wakes up and wants to say she's sorry for bringing all this tragedy onto his shoulders.  (Dios, are you up there having St. Peter take dictation?)  Mig apologizes for leaving her so alone and arrogantly believing his BFF was a good dude.  She should have told him about the rape cuz nobody but nobody should be abused like that.  Anyway, what has happened to Val?  "--What had to happen."  okay.....  and Ishiro?  He saved her life.  Yup.  (Okay Viewerville should brush up on how a Yakuza can one day become a Samurai in his own right.)

El Chuy gets a note and a bundle o' billetes de banco through the bars of his cell.  Hmmmmm.

The next day, Claudia and H. wonder why Pig came to the prison.  Did he meet Braulio and for what reason?  To get treatment for his wife or perhaps to ask Pig to get him out of prison?

El Chuy picks a fight with Braulio.  Braulio, courtesy of his cellmate smuggles in a cell phone and records his confession:  the agreement to take the wrap and the fall for Natalia's murder at Pig's request which he couldn't refuse.

On the way to load up for the private plane ride back to the D.F., Chis stops to tell Ishi thanks for saving her life and taking care of her despite her being rude and such a snotty brat.  Ishi doesn't dare do more than smile slightly.  Chis tells him he has a nice smile and should show it more often.  She gets wheeled away.

Later that day in D.F. the doctor and nurse and the room is all set up.  Chis arrives that night and Adi and Mig embrace.

Chis asks Jorge to forgive her and promises to kick her habit.  He tells her that he's moved in with Kenia.  Chis approves.

Dora gripes at Mig for being so wound up in his visions of glory that he is letting the empire fall to pieces around him.  Mig says she's living back in the past and things must and will change for the better.  Oh yeah?  Yeah.  He will not stop what he's doing to make it different and better.  She decides to move out and go back home.

That night Chis tells the nurse that she can leave and let's Ishi stand watch over her.  Chis takes his hand and gives it a secret squeeze.

Kenia receives an email from the person she fears most.  She's about to take off for parts unknown when Jorge arrives with pizza for dinner.  She is ticked off at having to hide her true reasons for wanting to leave (picking up dinner instead of ordering it over the phone app).  He knows something is disturbing her and they fight awhile.  She goes off and screams and pouts over getting the third degree from him.

Meanwhile, Adi goes outside into the backyard to chat with a meditating Mig who senses her arrival.  He admits he missed her; he tells her he has a heavy day tomorrow but he will make certain that the chemist's widow and child will be protected.  She asks how much he missed her; he tells her  to wait for tomorrow and then gets up and simply walks away.  She gripes about his bushido b.s.

The next morning El Chuy shivs Braulio in the prison showers and leaves him for dead.  His body is wheeled without a sheet to the morgue?  The prison doctors????

Mig meets with the widow and offers to send her to Japan to live with his friends there who'll let her live like a queen and protect her with their lives, blah blah.  >>FF>>FF (I got no time for stupid women who don't know when to follow orders from others in life-threatening situations.  Darwin's law should have prevailed here IVNHO.)  Peligros is ordered to take her to Japan.

Back at the manse, Chis is fighting the need for medicine/drugs.  Ishi sends the nurse away and practices some calming far Eastern method with his hands.  Chis calms down and falls asleep immediately.

Braulio's to cellmates see him as his body is rolled in a hospital cot off to who knows where.  They wonder if he's still alive and if something will happen to them now because they were his friends and compas.

Mig has a conference call by speaker only and tells Trejo he wants him to call him in five minutes on his cell for a private convo.  Jimena is ticked at the snub.  The others tease her.

Kenia gets another text on her phone from Mysterious Stalker Person.  She goes to meet him at the mall and leaves word with the receptionist to tell Jorge when he asks that she's at the doctor or some such.  (Saucer eyes from Sra. Receptionista??)

Flaco tells Trejo he's got some special investment to make --best he not tell..... okey...

Adi finds a beautiful red formal, black shoes and bag to match and an invitation to meet Miguel that night at 9 PM for dinner.

Kenia meets with the dude, Christian Barrera (how quaint - Christian Barrier in English -aka "Abdul".  Turns out Abdull is head of the local Arab terrorist cell.  He needs a place to hide out.  She rues the day she joined and says she's out.  He tells her menacingly what she already knows:  "--Nobody leaves; they join it's for life!"

On the other side of town, Adi arrives at a grand hotel and looks for Miguel there.  He appears in tie and tux, she in her long red gown.  He bought the hotel just so they could have the whole place alone that night.  He asks why she didn't fall in love and end up with Victor.  The heart knows what it wants.... Same with him.  He tells her the fable of the red string.  Life is full of connections predetermined by Fate/s.  People who don't know each other eventually will meet and fall in love.  Such is their luck in life now.  Fate/Destiny is master of life and love.  She's the one who brought him back to life.   He is in love with her. They kiss and go to dinner.  It's taco's from the cook and restaurant where she first took him.  The cook comes out to congratulate her and leaves when they get romantic.  He wants her with him always.  He finally tells her he wants to give their romance a chance.   She agrees on three conditions, one: they formalize with grandma, he does not sleep with other women, and someday or other she wants to have his child - yes she wants to be a mother.  He agrees, natch.  They kiss and then go swimming au natural in the hotel's indoor pool and kiss, and make up and seal their deal formally........
