El Dragón #54, 12/16/19: Dead Men Walking




Edna went to Duarte's office to get him to fess up. He didn't budge, denying everything in Hector's article. She didn't buy it. Stalemate.

The Pig went into hiding in a sty Lobo found for him. He knew Dora was after him and Duarte would not help him, so he was looking to flee the country.

Miguel gave instructions to Peligros and Ishiro, who wasn't comfortable with breakin into a prison.

Duarte spoke with Mauricio to find out how deep the merde really was. Edna came home and he tried to find out what she knew. She told him she sensed that Duarte was hiding something. He siad they should have no secrets from each other. He said that everyone was talking about this video She asked him if he wanted to see it, then pulled it up on her phone and said that they should keep that between them. [I'm not sure whether she knows what she is doing here.]

Adela and Miguel started talking about their lives before the day. When they laid down on the bed Adela suddenly became worried about cameras in the room. Miguel reassured her that there were none, but their potential coitus was interrupted by Jorge's nightmare cries. They went into his room to wake him up. He didn't talk.

The next morning Peligros took the doctor out of the prison to be confronted by Ishiro who ordered him to protect Braulio. He was to keep him informed on this. He then showed him a briefcase containing one million US dollars as payment for his services.

Duarte and Maricio met and Mauricio told Duarte that Edna had the video and that he had nothing to worry about. Mauricio then left.

Miguel and Adela arrived at the office together and Jimena saw them kiss. Trejo and Flaco saw this and knew what would happen. Jimena tried her mind games on Adela who just rolled her eyes when she left the conference table.

Dora's boar hunters were watching Pig while his wife cast her eye on El Lobo.

Meeting: Miguel announced that Jimena no longer worked for them due to the death of Farchala. They would replace her. The Garza holdings now has eighty businesses with 300 phantom companies in “financial paradises” for a total of $1.5 billion. Miguel told everyone that the epheline will make them even richer.

The prison doctor and nurse were in Braulio's room; the nurse noting that the stimulants were workign and that Braulio was getting better. The warden walked in and the doctor told him it was status quo. The warden left, telling one of the guards to keep him informed. If Braulio woke he was to be the first to be informed. The doctor protested that he was to be informed first, but the warden reminded him that this was a penal institution and not a private hospital.

Pig left his sty and was followed by Dora's boar hunters.

The doctor called Ishiro to update him. He had gotten a bad vibe from the warden.

Ishiro updated Miguel, who postponed discussion with Adela about Jimena until after visiting Hector.

Miguel visited Hector to talk about Braulio.

Pig was being stalked. The sniper picked off one of the Pig's men. They cut off the electricity to the sty. Lobo returned to Pig to check up on him. There was a shoot out with Pig getting hit in the shoulder and flank, but was still alive to make more bacon. One of the hunters got picked off and the others got away. Lobo and his men got the Pig out.

Braulio woke up, but the doctor told him to pretend it was status quo.

Lobo took Pig to the vet and told the man to do what he had to do or he would also be dead.

The warden reported to Duarte that Braulio was status quo. Duarte told him that Braulio was to die and his death made to look natural. The warden returned to the prison to give the doctor his orders, saying that there was no dinero budgeted to keep the man alive. The doctor told him that they would need to use a special drug to make this happen, one that would not be detected in an autopsy, and that this would take a few days. Of course, the warden ordered him to make this happen by morning.

Ishiro returned to Chisca's room and she came on to him. It was almmost like Nurse Chapel coming on to Spock. She was about to kiss him when Peligros called him to the emergency of getting Braulio out of the prison. It had to happen immediately and he would explain on the way.

Jimena dined with Guido Suarez and others, all men with businesses she might work for. She sent a text I couldn't read.

Miguel and Adela were abut to conduct private business when the text arrived. He had not turned if off because he was waiting for confirmation from Peligros. He answered Jimena's text and put the phone aside.

Dora got a text about the hit on Pig while she was babysitting Jorge, who still wasn't talking.

Peligros and Ishiro went to see Miguel about the prison break. Miguel said that Adela was to be left out of this. Adela arrived and said she wanted no killing, which Peligros is not used to.

Ishiro and Peligros hijacked a van taking boxes of stuff to the prison, relieving the drivers of their uniforms. They left them tied up in the back and drove an identical one to the prison. They got through the gate, where Peligros had to open one of the boxes to get inside. Ishiro parked the van and followed him in.

They took down the two guards and the doctor in order to smuggle Braulio out inside a plastic dumpster.

However, the alarm sounded and they were stopped on the way out.

Thank you for the recap, Urban!

Good cliffhanger tonight. How will Peligros and Ishiro make it out of the prison with Braulio now that they've been caught?

Looks like Miguel takes Adela to Japan on business in tomorrow's ep and finally introduces her to Tadamichi as the woman he loves...

But...all cannot be perfect for the lovebirds. Looks like Miguel assigned Jimena to a secret business assignment that keeps her out of the office but then he made everyone else believe, including Adela, that she quit? I was confused on this plot point because I couldn't read the text either. Did anyone see what it said? Maybe it's just his way of keeping Jimena in the loop so she won't betray any info she knows but he should tell Adela.

Chisca is already making her move on Ishiro. Another opposites attract couple like Miguel and Adela.

Wow, Epig finally wasn't completely invincible in tonight's episode. But I don't think he even knew/knows that Dora put a hit on him. Epig is in hiding because after Hector's article and Braulio's confession, Edna put a warrant out for his arrest.

Speaking of Edna, the actress is doing double novela duty on Univision as she has a pretty significant role in Ringo too. Also, Edna's traitor.significant other might ruin all of her plans or even get her killed....

Since Adela agreed to help out Peligros and Ishiro in their plan to help Braulio escape (against Miguel's wishes to avoid putting her at risk), my guess is that she will save them tonight.

Did everyone else noticed that Univision announced "Ultimas Semanas" (final weeks) of El Dragon tonight? So soon.

Becky: I also noticed that as well. Sounds like we're getting close to the end.

Big question is whether Chisca can stay clean ?

UA: Good Job on the recap. Does Miguel know Kenia (Goth Chick) is the spy ?
 

Urban, thanks for that excellent recap.

Things are moving along now. Quite a cliffhanger of Peli and Ishiro at the prison trying to rescue Braulio.
 

Urban--no time to read just yet, but I'm sure it's one of your faithful renditions. Looking forward to it.

Now, we ALL know that Adela is supposed to be in on this caper, based on Peligros saying they needed a get-away driver. Remember--we saw TWO of those identical vans, but did not see Adela. Hmmm. I bet, not a spoiler, that somehow they were able to get Braulio into the other van (how will be fun to watch) and Ishiro and Peligro's van is empty. Just an ole slight of hand trick, to trick us careful watchers as well.

Ok, gotta run. There's a dentist waiting to see my pearly whites.
 

Thanks Urban. Yeah Ole Chiscass has not had any crack or sex with ANYTHING for a few days, so watch yourself Ishiro.

Just so over Jorgie. Get a grip douche, or just off yourself.

I sure thought the Christmas ham was in process, but with all those holes in it the eOink survives. SMH

Surely hopeo Carmen and Locoito have some fun before ePig kills them. Pootang to die for?

It is almost more than I can watch seeing Edna and Maury. He bothers me more than the Povich one. Edna has NO CLUE? Hard to believe. Oh well, she will figure it out waaaay too late.

Love Adela. Her "Wait...STOP...do you have cameras? I don't want Flaco sitting over there watching me buck naked." was just too cute. Note to Flaco: If you do...$$$$....my email address is Kirbyjohn..........nevermind.
 

Becky OMG Gabriela Carrillo (Edna ) is Gloria with the streaked hair? WOW you women have got better disguises than the CIA and FBI. She is a cute little thing.
 

Great job, Urban! I always love your conciseness in recapping.

I'm waiting for Ishiro to do a "Jedi mind trick" on the prison guards.

So Edna's husband doesn't have to do much to get information out of her? Just a foot rub seems to do it. If she is so smart, she should have figured out that he cannot be trusted.

I wonder if ePig will make it. They probably will keep him around until the very bitter end. HE was shot a few times, so who knows? I kind of feel sorry for his family. Last time we saw them I know one of the children was in a wheel chair. But...ePig's wife deserves a much better husband and father for those children.

I'm wondering what will be the final outcome for Dora. I hope Jorge remembers the thing where he overheard his grandfather talking about how he orchestrated his parents' deaths. That is probably what has thrown him into mental illness. And who knows? Maybe Dora and Lambert hired a hypnotist to mess with his mind so that he became mute because they did not want him talking!

Yes, we are in the final weeks. I want to see a wedding between Adela and Miguel. I want to see Adela in a beautiful wedding gown.


 

Thanks, Urban. Liked the running pig theme:

Dora's boar hunters

Lobo took Pig to the vet

I'm thinking Edna may be on to her husband. Maybe she noticed he gives her foot rubs only when he’s pumping her about the investigation.

This show has the worst hit men ever. They never finish their mark, unless the victim is some no-name foot thug.

Anita, ITA your getaway scenario with Adela. I didn't realize there were two identical vans.

I did enjoy seeing Pig on the run. So, Dora, thanks for that. My ending for him would be lockdown in solitary confinement, while Mrs. Pig fritters away his dough and takes in a gigolo.
 

The text message between Miguel and Jimena from last night:

She texted "I've made contact."

He texted back "I'll be on the lookout."

Yup, sent her on some secret business mission where she has to pretend to her contacts that she is no longer employed by Miguel.

This may be yet another business maneuver but of course it's dumb not to have Adela in the loop at least. Jimena can easily use this to cause a misunderstanding between them. He'll justify it to himself that it was a business scheme and the rest of his employees were on a need-to-know basis but Adela no longer fits that excuse. But my bet is it's one of those relationship tests they'll have to overcome rather than something that will break them.

-Becky




 

Becky Thanks, that section of last night makes so much more sense now.
All of a sudden they were talking about Jimena bering gone and I assumed I had missed a crucial scene.
 

Cynthia, that is what Ursula (Mama Bear) did to her children in YNCELH. Both of them ended up dead and yes, they deserved it.
