Imperio de mentiras, #31, Thursday 11/05/20 When the good guys becomes so gullible, you're almost starting to root for the bad guys

Not my best effort, but these characters are just the worst! I hope you enjoy it!  

Dario asks Majo to admit that she loves him. If she doesn’t, than just go and they will never be together again. She turns to leave, he gets up and we can see he's bleeding through his hospital gown. He falls on an armchair, Majo ends up saying that she does love him.

Leo arrives at the hospital, asks Mario to guard the front entry, while he goes to confront Cobra. He finds Dario with Majo, asks her to go outside. Dario tries to negotiate, says they have a common enemy, but Leo doesn’t listen (he should!) Tadeo, Dario’s accomplice comes up from behind and threatens Leo with a gun, hits him and leaves him unconscious. Dario, Tadeo and Majo flee the hospital room. They run into Mario, who tries to shot Dario, but Majo gets in between. Tadoe tries to shot at Mario, the cop finally has no other choice but to drop his gun and let them go.

He finds Leo in the hospital room, tells him that Majo left willingly. The precinct has been alerted, Leo decides to tell Elisa. 

At jail, the lawyer reads Marcelo a preview of his declaration. In it, Marc accuses Ewwgenio of money laundering, art trafficking, kidnapping and homicide. These are all very serious accusation, is Marc sure he wants to continue? Marcelo is determined to sign the declaration, but they still need Sonia to corroborate. Marc is sure Leo will get her testimony. The lawyer asks him to take care of himself, he’ll be back the next day with the final statement, so he can sign it (oh, Marc, you’ve just put a time bomb on your head). Marc is afraid for Sonia, he’s sure Eww will kill her.

Elisa is visiting Renata at the baby killing manicomio. Ren doesn’t want to go back home, she wants to return to her apartment with Marcelo and baby. Oh, poor woman! But I do agree that she needs to leave the Cantu mansion. And she can take Elisa and Majo with her. Leave Victoria to Eww’s mercy, see how she likes it when he starts putting the moves on her in front of the staff how he used to do with Sonia. Ren is very distressed, she remembers when they were younger and Elisa had to deal with the other kids laughing at her because of her crazy sister. Elisa tries to comfort her the best she can.

When she meets her mom in the waiting room, Elisa tells her that she’ll stay with Renata. Victoria wants to go home, she’s very tired, she guilt trips Elisa into joining her, leaving darling tio Eww to take care of Ren.

Clara and Nieves arrive home after the funeral. Nieves is relieved that her husband is dead they don’t have to deal with hospitals and treatments anymore, but, GET THIS, Clara needs to keep working for Cobra because they need the money. Clara is horrified, how can her mom asks her to risk her life again? She gives the remaining money from Cobra to Nieves, wants out. Nieves complains about the many sacrifices that she’s made. (???) 

Clara is rightfully shocked! First she pushed Julia to her death and now she's forcing her hand, too? She only agreed to work with Cobra out of desperation. But she’s done! She calls her mother an evil piece of nastiness (paraphrasing), realizes her dad was right all along, packs a bag and leaves! Yey, Clara! Maybe you can bunk with Majo in Ren’s apartment.

Teresa and Reynaldo do the deed. She’s nervous at first, Rey does his best to calm her . She’s weepy, he assures her that they won’t do anything if she’s not ready. She’s more than ready, she’s never felt more desired.

Later on, in the afterglow, she tells Rey that he’s everything that JL isn’t. And that she’s finally understood how great sex (and an orgasm) can be. It feels liberating!

I’m not against this, actually. JL and Tere’s marriage has been dead for a long time and JL is not winning any prizes in the husband department. But what is the plan here? Rey is married, too, are they both going to get a divorce? Tere should concentrate on healing her relationship with Leslie before I can get behind her 100%.

Eww and Awful Oscar are talking about Renata. After the procedure they did, she will never have babies again, just like Victoria wanted. Seeing these two vicious men talk about a woman’s body and right to choose so casually is maddening

El comandante calls to warn Eww that Marc is changing his declaration, he has a new lawyer and he’s accusing him of a lot of nasty things.

Victoria is in her bed, asks Elisa to stay with her, since she feels very bad about the whole situation. Somehow she turns the conversation to Leo and how he’s not right for Elisa. Elisa asks her to butt out and to stop tormenting Renata with her accusations against Marcelo, too. (Hahhahahahhahahha, Victoria thinks Leo and Marc are bad? Wait until she hears about Dario!)

Victoria is sure Renata will blame her for losing the baby, when in reality Ren is the one who tried to kill her, causing the accident.

Dario is back at his lair with Majo and Tadeo. He’s losing a lot of blood, Tadeo suggests they call the BOSS. Yes, do that! Call Uncle Horrible. Dario thinks this is a terrible idea, but just then his phone rings. Majo grabs it and answers! The moment is more exciting than the US Election battle for Georgia. Alas, she speaks first, giving her full name to the caller, asking for help for Dario. Eww gets startled for once, but hangs up immediately.

Elisa asks the maid to leave Victoria to rest, just as Leo and Mario arrive with news about Majo. They all go back to the precinct, where they check security cameras following the getaway car. They close in on the streets where the car has been seen last. Elisa wants to go with them, try to protect Majo.

In the meantime, Dario is asking Majo to leave, he doesn’t want her to be considered his accomplice. Tadeo drags her away just in time for Eww to call again. I think he’s getting careless, calling so soon after Majo almost caught him. Nervous much, Nasty Eww?

He warns Dario that he’s making a lot of stupid mistakes because of Majo, and he is the one who has to fix everything again. But this will be the last time he comes to his aid! (Oh, please!)

Majo and Tadeo go outside, but Majo urges Tadeo to go back in and find a way to get Dario to a hospital. She runs away like a crazy person, in the middle of the street, and the police soon catch up to her. Elisa and Leo are waiting in a car not to far away. As he’s asking her to talk to Majo about the danger she’s putting herself and the family in they get the call about Majo being found.

Majo refuses to tell Leo where the Cobra is, Leo calls Mario to ask for reinforcement. That won’t be possible, since JL is in Tapia’s office, being scolded for the operation he sanctioned at his brother’s demand. JL barely defends himself, Leo had a lead on Cobra. But this still gets him suspended.

Leo takes Elisa home, she wants him to stick around, but he’d rather avoid Victoria and leave. He asks Elisa to talk to Majo, she could be the key in capturing Cobra. Elisa gets upset (??), is he suggesting they use her innocent, pristine sister as bait? Leo promises that Majo will be in no danger, but Cobra trusts her and she could be very important in helping them find Augusto and Julia’s killer. Elisa is still pouting, how can Leo suggest such a thing?

Clara shows up at JL’s house. Sara scolds her for having abandoned her poor momma so soon after papa died. Teresa, for once, proves to be the more sensible one, welcoming a very disheveled Clara inside (as it turns out all that Teresa needed to become human was a little TLC). JL is on the couch, pouting, he only wants to go to bed. He asks Teresa to come with him, but she no longer wants to sleep in the same bed, she’ll take the couch. He storms out, he needs some peace and quiet. Where are you planning to go, JLoser? I don’t think Adriana will want you now.

The nurses tending to Renata are gossiping about her and the baby; they feel bad for Ren, but they should do it more quietly, because Ren hears everything and starts screaming, accusing her mom of causing her abortion.

Fernasty comes to visit Elisa. She sees that her amiga’s in a bad mood and takes advantage of the situation. She correctly assumes that Elisa is upset with Leo because he distrusts her family. How can he think so bad about all of her loved ones and still trust her? (Exactly! He SHOULD not since Elisa is the biggest liar of them all). Elisa almost tries to defend him, saying that he’s only protecting her. Fern suggests that the cop who is supposed to keep an eye on Majo is actually watching her, so he can inform Leo of her every move. Leo doesn’t care about her, he only cares about finding his dead novia’s killer and getting a medal in the process. If he manages to nail the Cantus by accusing them of art trafficking, money laundering and murder he will become a hero.

Leo is with Adriana and Mario, talking about Marcelo’s declaration. They only need to get Sonia to talk now. Leo realizes that Elisa is upset because he proved to her that her dad was a criminal and now he’s gunning for her beloved tio. He’s afraid she’s starting to hate him. Just then she sends him a message, asking him to discontinue the police security at her house. Fern applauds Elisa, this will be a clear message to Leo that he can’t control her. Oh, Elisa, why you so dumb!

Marcelo gets a visit in his cell. A bunch of guys come with a message from Eww. He video calls from Sonia’s hospital bed, threatening that if he signs the declaration he just gave, than Sonia and her unborn baby will die. Marc is shocked, Eww is not sure that he’s still going to be alive the next day, anyway. As soon as the video call ends, the other inmates start beating on Marcelo.

Comments:
Thank You Adriana, the devil is in the details, which you 'documented' nicely. Like I didn't catch Majo giving her name etc to Ewwww when he called the bloodphone. And again, DAM can the girl run. I was impressed how she could run in that tight little leather skirt, but in jeans, the girl can motor! Must be kinda like in auto racing, you remove parts to save weight everywhere you can to go faster, in her case you pitch the BRAIN.

Finally there was some actual action in this episode. Mostly thus far along in this show, it could have just as easily been a RADIO show, blab blab blab blab blab blab blab....talk talk talk me to death. We don't watch TV to see people talk, I can see that at the Dollar Store. I want to see shooting, fighting, car chases, people taking their clothes off, Oh, but not the Toad and her BBW admirer Reynaldo, swimsuits, footchases, you know, fun stuff.

And Hooray for our fillin Heroine Clara. Is she the most likeable girl in this show? I think so. Spunky and a functioning brain, can we get a lock of her hair and clone her?

Is there anything positive we can concentrate on about E-lies-a? Shucks, sorry. I don't trust her, and I can not figure out if it is because she is as dumb as sled tracks, or if she is playing Leo. But the same effect either way. Then she pouts / mopes over to the devil's daughter FerNasty and spills her guts and gets some Gurlfiend advise.

And I do not believe their crock about Mop's charges against Ewww holding no value unless corroborated by Sonia. HE was inpossession of the 6 million dollar---um---thing, you know. And he is in jail for it, that gives his story some credence.

Yikes, Thanks again Adriana
 

Thanks, Adriana, for a great recap of the most bleak episode yet.

Too much is just too grotesque from Renata undergoing unknowingly a procedure that will make sure she never gets pregnant again to Eugenio threatening Sonia and her unborn baby as well as making her see him having control of Marcelo in jail.

Kirby, yes! Clara is the “fillin Heroine Clara” because Elisa certainly isn’t a heroine in any sense of the word.

Victoria, Darío and puppet master Eugenio are BEYOND despicable and many others are close to being so.

At least Teresa had a good time.




 

Adriana Noel, thank you.

The sadistic cruelty really got to me last night, “the most bleak episode yet” being so true Jarifa.

I was considering bailing but after reading your thoughtful, extremely well written recap Adriana Noel, I am going to try and hang in a bit longer. Thank you for handling this with the perfect words and insight.

“Later on, in the afterglow, she tells Rey that he’s everything that JL isn’t…I’m not against this, actually. JL and Tere’s marriage has been dead for a long time and JL is not winning any prizes in the husband department. But what is the plan here? Rey is married, too, are they both going to get a divorce? Tere should concentrate on healing her relationship with Leslie before I can get behind her 100%”.

You filtered this through a lens of reality with an astute understanding that some are their own worst enemy, engulfed in a haze of self-pity and self-loathing. While there is no excuse for how they treat others (particularly children), it is amazing what a bit of sheer acceptance, getting a shred of self-worth, can do. Rey seems like another dead-end relationship. It already appears to But if the experience will change Tere (and it appears it already has with her surprising support of the strong Clara), and she can become a better mother to Leslie whom she has treated terribly, then…

“Eww and Awful Oscar are talking about Renata. After the procedure they did, she will never have babies again, just like Victoria wanted. Seeing these two vicious men talk about a woman’s body and right to choose so casually is maddening.” And as unimaginable as that is, the unfathomable is that this atrocity was committed at the request of Renata’s own mother.

Is there anything at all rattling around in Elisa’s head?

Leo is so besotted, he isn’t thinking clearly. Unfortunately, all the villains are.

I can't even comment on Dario or on Marcelo and Sonia who shortly, will likely fervently be hoping to die.

Adriana Noel, thank you, thank you for handling this masterfully.

Diana
 

Cher Adriana, merci! I am still reading The recap , but I had to pop in early to say How much I love starting the day with your recap and the rocking comments . Yes ! The episode episode as bloody, bleak, and beyond belief , but it has generated actress recap and comments. More, please.

Dario in the bloody hospital gown and Mojo' s bloody hands ..wait! what? .que. the. hell !!!...and I couldn't stop staring at her teeshirt.... "Be the beat. " I'm think that they should out all the characters in those tee shirts . Especially Marcelo . Okay, I am going back to finish the recap. Later, gators.
 

P.s. Hi, Kirby, Jarifa, and Diana !!!! Loved your comments !
 

...and then you have to ask yourself...what's crazier..this show or Current reality?
 

Breaking news: Andres Palacios is ready to resume taping after his COVID quarantine. He says they only have a few more weeks of episodes to finish up the series.

I think her shirt said Be The Best. I am always amused when these TN characters in ALL Spanish TNs invariably wear clothing with English on them. Seems a few years ago I did see a couple of TN girls wearing Bebe shirts, but those days are long gone.

I actually have enjoyed a couple of the TNs we have seen where there was some Spanglish mixed in. It is like an Easter Egg hunt trying to catch the English nuggets.

In MoJo's case I kept raising up in my chair trying to peep farther down in my TV to see if there was a last word below 'Best'. I was thinking, maybe bitch, nut, fruit, runner, idiot, Sister? psycho, bulletproof? hmmm

Thanks Blue Lass I hope he has had time to rethink his (non) or (Onesided) relationship with E-Lies-a(lot).
 

Adriana, you did a tremendous job retelling all the goriness. Reading you recap is so much better that actually watching this and wanting to engage in some serious nerfazos.

Adriana, "(oh, Marc, you’ve just put a time bomb on your head) oh my,yes! I'm not a big fan of Mop, but I don't think he deserves death as an anvil. Leo had already seen that he was getting beat up; why didn; the order more protection for Mop, even putting him in isolation could have ensured that he would live long enough to testify against Ewww.

Kirby, "E-Lies-a" is genius!! Fits the pouty Blondie perfectly. And "fillin Heroine Clara" is also very befitting. I cheered her on as she blasted Stone Face...YESSSS!!!

Jarifa, "Victoria, Darío and puppet master Eugenio are BEYOND despicable and many others are close to being so." DITTO! I can't think of any word that describes how disgustingly wretched these people are.

I'm not as sold on Ter-ribbit as others. I still think she was as much as fault for her marital problems as JLoser (thanks Adriana!). And she may be miserable in her marriage, but tha is no reason to mistreat her MIL and ignore her daughter. I am tempted to believe that she only invited Clara to stay just to spite Sara.

Diana, "Rey seems like another dead-end relationship" I think so too! Maybe if they both had left their marriage partners FIRST, I might wish them well, but both are delving into a promiscuous relationship that can't go anywhere...at least for now.

And "Leo is so besotted, he isn’t thinking clearly. Unfortunately, all the villains are." I couldn't agree with you more...and I can't remember a show where the villains outnumbered the good guys. Que triste!

Oh, Blue Lass, thanks for the good news! The most important thing, of course, is that Andres has recovered :-)

BTW Patio Peeps, Blue Lass will debut tonight as a recapper for "Imperio". SO looking forward to reading her delectable recap!



 

Kirby - "E-lies-a" is an amazing nickname. Just as good as the "Can'tDo" family. I guess that makes Leo L-ame-o?

I forgot to mention a bit of a scene in my recap. While trying to convince Elisa to go home with her, Victoria had a bit of a fainting spell. It didn't seem an act, so what could it be? Is she pregnant with Augie's fourth daughter (LOOOL)

Blue Lass - can't wait for your recap tonight!

RGV, I was wondering the same thing: what kind of protection is Marcelo under, since everyone can come to his cell and beat him senseless?

I didn't notice Majo's shirt, other than the fact that she dresses as a teenager, but she's in luvv with a certified criminal who is well into his thirties. Same can be said for backpacker Eliesa.
 

Hey wait...is Clara still employed as MoJo's pet friend? If so, she has an income albeit only once removed from Scario. And maybe she could just LIVE there then. The other domestics do.
You know it would be a great deal for Tricky Vicky too, as she would still be only paid for one shift a day, but actually be there 24/7. Win win all around.

RGV do you have her email address? :-)
 

The down side is, well, a..moving into a house full of crazies. But her Mom is malevolent AND cray cray. But she'd have a good address on her resume'. It makes a difference.
 

Looking forward to diving in! I doubt if you'll see me tonight, though, as I am typically an early knockout...but stranger things have happened (some of them lately.)
 

Kirby, as of right now, Clara is still Majo's shadow. She hasn't told Scario to go take a hike yet.
 

Blue Lass, not to worry. We'll be patiently waiting :-)
 

Just back home . I enjoyed reading all the new comments.

Kirby, you are the master of catchy, clever nicknames. E-lies-a was right there in front of us, but you found it !! Sometimes, when i read your funny comments,i can almost see the wheels spinning wildly in your head.

Hmmm. So the words on Mojo's teeshirt were " Be the best. " ...too !ate for that . ...maybe a new teeshirt slogan : " I'm the worst. "

Is Scario going to keep bleeding out , or is sonebody going to get him some medical aid ?
 

SusanLynn, thanks. I know there is something loose up there where you see all that spinning wildly, but I am afraid to go in to try to fix it. :-)

I think I saw a perfect MoJo shirt at Walmart, it said 'I'm with stupid ->'
 

I was thinking the same thing about Scario's loss of blood. The body is pretty forgiving about optimum fluid level, but somebody must have a little veterinary suture kit to at least put a few temporaries in where he must have ripped the old ones out. It is pretty manly without anesthesia, but still beats running out of blood.
 

This was such a bleak episode! What kind of mother kills her own unborn grandchild and makes the unilateral decision to have her daughter's future childbearing ability totally eliminated?.

I'm use to characters stealing the grandkid(s) but actually making a doctor perform an abortion and hysterectomy. It's unfathomable, horrible, and horrific. Victoria just topped my most despicable character list.

Hey anybody seen Alejandro Camacho lately! He looks like some kind of hobo with his hair. No wonder he is wearing a wig here.
 

Great work!

Victoria is definitely not among the godly here; everything she does has a selfish motive. I am actually surprised she din't have Renata sterilized much earlier than this. I hope Victoria lives to see that her assessment of Leo is her biggest misconception.

This episode definitely should have made it obvious to Leo that Majo needs to be in the loony bin.

"Be the best" allegedly was the "cause" of our absentee First Lady.
 

This episode is just as disgusting
As the last one. Adriana you done
Good with what you had to work with.

Nieves is the scourge of motherhood
That ol bitch had the nerve to tell
Her daughter to go back into hell so she could have money. Why don't
She take her wide butt over there and steal artwork for ewwwgy and babysit majo, they can depress the hell outta each other.

Ewwgy is nasty personified. I don't
Know who they have in mind to end
His sorry insidious life but I just
Hope They do it justice. I so want to see that bastard suffer. Him and
His bitchmomma vic-ious. She's still lying about renata tryin to kill her nasty ass. I tell yall she hates her daughter and I want a back story GG. Let somebody have a daydream about something so those that have to endure this tall tale will Have a handle on What the hell went Wrong in this screwed up clan. family.
And why all the women is so dumb.
Except renata. She had help loosing
It(momma bitch dearest).

Leo needs to have a good and long informative talk with dario. Then he might learn to trust him more than elisa. Who I'm not liking much
Right now.

And fernasty, another disgusting &
Vile creature. If that boy turns out to be fabs, when this is all over He needs to take him as far away as He can get and never ever mention that Vile evil ewwwgy is apart of his gene pool. Its bad enough dario is.
I just dont know what will become of him, he is so screwed up. But there is a part of his mother there
But It may not be enough to redeem him. He's already half dead. O what
A messed up story this.

If renata should ever regain a semblance of sanity I want to see her put her evil momma in her place
As only a daughter that has been abused for years can do. Hey maybe
Nieve is vic's long lost older evil sister. Cuz clara n majo seem to have the same problem, a cold evil
Vile nasty mother, and they don't deserve that title. Ok done with this for a while. This is as depressing as counting ballots. Or pulling teeth painful. Let someone or Something break. Please!

Thank you AdrianaNoel.

Thank you
 

So basically that BITCH had her daughter sterilized. What a vile thing to do to your own child. What
Ever is coming her way that's bad she will deserve, and more. OMG!
