Imperio de Mentiras #37, Friday 11/13/20: Money for Nothing and a Gun for Free
The Deconstruction Company
Elisa summons an eager Leo to her office, then flits around in her little hanky dress closing all the blinds. Alas for him, she plans to desecrate not the desk but his common sense. She repeats Majo's assertion that it was Cobra who ordered Marcelo's murder, then concludes that this lets Tio off the hook! Leo quickly progresses through the five stages of dealing with an airhead -- shock, disappointment, frustration, indulgence, and wishing he were somewhere else -- and finally comes up with an idea: Why don't we get Majo to lure him into a trap...?
Suddenly Fab blunders in without knocking and gives Leo the stink-eye. Elisa tries to get all girlboss and put him off until later, but he insists he has Very Important Papers. Leo takes his leave, and Elisa signs all the forms without reading them, because it's Telenovela Law. Fab assures her that transferring the galleries to an offshore shell company will totally solve all their problems. Then he sternly reminds her that Leo can't be trusted and she needs to slap him with a rolled-up newspaper every time he steps on the good carpet.
Majo and Clara's Glamping Chamber
Now that they're slumber-party besties, Majo needs Clara to do her a favor: get her a pistol. Que que que? Where's she going to hide it in those ratty clothes?
But Clara comes through, somehow persuading Leslie to nick one from her dad. Majo sticks it into her purse and makes a booty call to Dario. Gee, what could possibly go wrong?
Oficina Serrano
Fab hands the Very Important Papers over to Eugenio, but he feels bad about snookering Elisa. He asks Eu to use his contacts in the police to get El out of the mess she's in so he can rush in and look like a hero for saving her. This has a lot of convoluted possibilities, but let's not invest too much energy in them in case the whole plotline just disappears.
He also asks Daddy Dearest what's up with Sonia. Is he having another kid or what? He didn't do such a good job with the first one. (He means himself. Still unclear whether he knows about Dario.) Eu asks with a saccharine simper for help being a good father, but Fab says it's too late for that and huffs off.
Sara's House of Shouts & Whispers
Tere shows Leo the statement from the secret bank account, which is apparently in Leslie's name. (Is Leslie short for Ignacio? Oh, never mind. We've got bigger problems.) Leo tries to make his usual bland excuses, but even he realizes that's an absurd amount of money on a cop's salary.
A little digging reveals that JL never asked for that workplace loan to build the granny flat...so what's going on? Tere, never one to stand by her man when she can stand on him, has no doubts: "Dirty money."
Adriana's Clod Squad Clubhouse
JL shows up at Adri's begging -- no, demanding -- her pardon. He's all up in her personal space, telling her she's wonderful and he's an idiot, both of which are true, but somehow that adds up to snogging on the couch. Wasn't he just telling her last week that he was married and she was confused? Does he have a brain tumor? Do the writers? Do we?
She comes to her senses and puts him off, and it looks as if he ends up sleeping on the couch in his pink dress shirt. Unfortunately he's still there in the morning, when Mario drops by to announce that Leo is waiting at the station to have an urgent conversation with his brother.
Victoria's Home for Wayward Girls
Oh noes! Majo has dematerialized and all the surveillance cameras have been disconnected. For once Elisa and her mother reach the logical conclusion: she's run off to be with that no-good thug/investor/carjacker/flower boy. She's not answering her phone, they have no idea where Dario's holed up, and obviously calling the police is completely out of the question, so they just squeak and run around in circles in the cavernous living room.
I'm not sure there are even words to describe what Elisa is wearing in this scene. It's as if the wardrobe department knocked off a case of tequila and then got into one of Susanlynn's Mad Libs books without really understanding the concept. "Long-sleeved tearaway bandeau," possibly? "Shudderingly awful," definitely.
Cobra's Hideaway
Majo treats herself to one last roll in the hay, then gets back into her ugly outfit and turns the pistol on Dario. Of course this is the perfect moment to start shouting at him about what a bad boyfriend he is, with the kidnapping and the blackmail and the brother-in-law whacking and all.
It's hard to get keyed up about this confrontation because we can see how it will end -- if she didn't know how to get a pistol, it's a cinch she doesn't know how to shoot one, and Dario didn't get to be a crime lord by letting hysterical, hungover females get a jump on him -- but let's just play along. Maybe they'll surprise us.
Around Town
* Fab shows up at Fernanda's and demands to know what she was doing over at Eu's house. Since when does she have private tete-a-tetes with his father? And she doesn't even know Sonia! Fer counters with the usual cold face and cocked hip, but Fab's not buying it this time.
* Leo confronts JL about the secret bank account right in front of a one-way mirror. Will he notice?
* No Renata, no Mau, no pet leaf. What a letdown.

Thank you, Blue Lass, this was a fuuuny read. My favorites have to be "the five stages of dealing with an airhead" and "no-good thug/investor/carjacker/flower boy - oh, the many faces of Dario....
So Leslie, Clara and Majo are forming an unholy alliance: stealing guns, drinking alcohol, sex tapes - youngins these days are a hoot.
I was glad to see that this time Majo's disappearing act didn't fool nobody. One of these days she will really get into trouble and Elisa will only be like "no, worries, she's just with her criminal bf, she'll be back in time for dinner" Talk about the girl who cried wolf!!
More later, need to prepare lunch for the girls.

OMG Blue Lass This was hilarious. Thanks bunches. Classic “Five stages of dealing with an airhead.” and “so they just squeak and run around in the cavernous living room” and yes I vote JLouse brain tumor.
For sure the :-) hanky dress and fliting around closing the blinds sure looked suspicious especially given that Leo is in dire need of another E-Lies-a deprogramming session as he is getting too close to the truth.
I also had to wonder about that money. If you use your ATM card and either: There is not money in your bank when there should be, or less likely: There is gobs MORE money in your account than you had expected, you go to your bank and find out when and HOW that money got there or left! WHO did it, HOW they did it and WHEN it happened. Banks have been known to keep records of such things. Was it a check deposited? Was it a bank to bank transfer? Did some stranger without an ID waltz in and put it into some randomly chosen (your) account? Did a carrier pigeon hit one of their big glass windows while carrying a bag of money and they didn't know where to put it and the pigeon wouldn't talk so they gave it to you?
Yes the bloom is off the FeNasty Rose for Poodle. I noticed that at this visit he did not even enter her dungeon, but stood outside the door to chat. The clues for Fab Poodle continue to accumulate, we can only hope he is capable of thought. Of course being a poodle he wastes too much time licking his own butt and territory marking.
In Majo's defense, she sure LOOKED like she knew how to handle a gun. She expertly cocked and loaded the thing, which is not as easy as it is made to look on TV. And she remembered to put her trigger finger on the TRIGGER, unusual in TNs. But with his brain tumor :-) will JLouse discover his missing piece? Leslie should have somehow framed Froggie Ribbitt Terrie.
Adriana if the Leslie, Clara and Majo team is the best we have it is better than nothing. Hell, Charlie's Angels almost saved the world.

And Wait! Coffee wakes the brain. What happened to Majo's little scheme where Clara was going to tell Dario only what Majo wanted him to know and they were planning on tricking Scario? If she accurately shoots him all that CIA style planning and groundwork is for naught. But then if she Doesn't shoot him, he may not trust her now. RATS!
I don't think she will shoot Scario. Because she still Luuuurves him. Sure he lies, steals kidnaps, has people killed or murders, and terrorizes her whole family, but he has not cheated on her. Now if he had, he is prolly a dead man, but he hasn't so she can probably overlook those other transgressions. Crazy Chick Luuurve Logic.

Kirby, you say Charlie's Angels, I call them Dario's Demons - they are innocent, but they end up being tainted by being connected to him.
Exceptional Blue Lass.
"Alas for him, she plans to desecrate not the desk but his common sense" was my favorite of many great lines.
It hardly seems possible that "Eugenio" and "saccharine simper" could be used in the same sentence but it was and you did it perfectly.
Elisa remains steadfast in her defense of Ewwwww. Is she truly that gullible or could there possibly, just possibly be an unholy alliance?
"So Leslie, Clara and Majo are forming an unholy alliance: stealing guns, drinking alcohol, sex tapes - youngins these days are a hoot". Great Adriana Noel. I felt a pit in my stomach at Leslie's acquiescence to Clara's asking for the gun. Although united over common enemy Dario, it seems equally disturbing that Majo seems to have the same hold over Leslie that Dario has over her.
Dario's already been shot like swiss cheese (and I still don't know why. What purpose did that serve?) so I doubt Majo will shoot him. But, I have been watching since the beginning and the further we get, the less I know.
"Tere, never one to stand by her man when she can stand on him, has no doubts: "Dirty money" said it all Blue Lass. It was clear that the secret money came as no surprise to JL. So strong and mighty initially, his credibility continues to crumble.
"Yes the bloom is off the FeNasty Rose for Poodle" was exactly right Kirby. The only alliance she has is with Ewwww, which can end the second she is of no use or purpose to him. Of course, she could always run to her bestie Elisa, but her please for help would be ignored in favor of Elisa mewling about her own little issues or filing her nails.
I have the sad and nagging feeling Leo is going to be the sacrificial lamb. As everyone's faults continue to be revealed, his only flaw seems to be loving and believing in Elisa.
Thank you Blue Lass - fantastic.

Another great recap, Blue! Your "5 stages of dealing with an airhead" is so clever! And I love how signing papers without looking at them is "Telenovela Law". The one I got the biggest kick out of is "so they just squeak and run around in circles in the cavernous living room".
How funny about not getting too concerned over the snookering / rescuing of Elisa as the whole plotline may disappear! But, maybe you are confusing this show with Medicos? We still don't know what happened to the boy who was in the accident with Luz's daughter, and I'm still curious to find out how that guy got wrapped up in barbed wire.
Is Leslie their daughter, maybe?
I love your wardrobe descriptions form hanky dress to long sleeved tearaway bandeau to Majo's ugly outfit.
I'll be back to comment once I've watched this episode. I'm disappointed to hear Renata and her crazy eyed teddy bear won't be making an appearance.

Sorry, I'm figuring out that your Leslie - Ignacio line was a joke. I'm out of the commenting rhythm.
I like how Sara has that cute little rosebud of hair going on there on her forehead.

Blue Lass, I am still reading your snappy recap, but I wanted to say thank you for a fun read .
Are Les, Clara, and Mojo Charlie's Angels or Thelma and Louise and Louise.
Being shot doesn't seem to have affected Dario 's moves . He is quite an ardent lover. However, I didn't have to see big old JL so over Adriana .no. Okay back to the recap.

Blue Lass your fire rages and I am wholeheartedly enjoying all the sparks that everyone has already pointed out, thank you!
Adriana Noel, "So Leslie, Clara and Majo are forming an unholy alliance: stealing guns, drinking alcohol, sex tapes - youngins these days are a hoot." Yes, ma'am! It was really surprising to me tha Leslie agree to get that gun for Clara...they hadn't been talkin' that much until recently.
Kirby, I'm sure you're right, Majo knows how to handle a gun...and she won't pull that trigger fo the exact reason you stated. If she won't help trap him because she is afraid he will get killed, she surely won't do the deed herself.
Diana, (re: Fer) "The only alliance she has is with Ewwww, which can end the second she is of no use or purpose to him. Of course, she could always run to her bestie Elisa, but her please for help would be ignored in favor of Elisa mewling about her own little issues or filing her nails." Too funny, but so true! And I have no doubt tha Ewww will kick her to the curb (maybe dead?) once he's done with her. Oh and we still don't know who Juanito's father is! Another meatball dropped into the overcooked spaghetti.

Blue Lass, yes, E lies-a was almost wearing that last maroon frock . It looked like she had started putting it on and then stopped and rethought her choice . Her whole back and upper arms were exposed . I would have been fussing with that thing all day .
Chickie, maybe Leslie gave Clara the pistola because she wanted to be One of the cool girls. By the way, Clara and Leslie look like teens but Mojo on no. She looks like she is in her 20s and not interested in hanging with teenyboppers.
I missed Renata and Ewell Gibbons. ( p.s. Does anyone even get that reference?)

Diana and RGV I could see Ewww 'discarding' FerNasty, like killing her outright, strapping her to a raft headed for Cuba, OR, setting her up to take the fall for most or all of both their dirty deeds done dirt cheap.
ALSO, she is possibly as crafty, sneaky and dishonest as Eww, maybe more so because her delivery is so sleek, and maybe she will backstab EwwwGenio when she has positioned herself to take it all and disappear. Leaving all the evidence in plain sight to incriminate Ewww. I know, not a real sentence, but you get the idea.
Juanito? Ha she would leavea couple of dollars and Juabito with her Mom with a certificate of title and a bill of sale.

If E-lies-a didn't have some add-on garment retainers that maroon frock would have been a cumberbund.
Kirby, for the most part I would say FerNasty is fairly inscrutable.
We've seen quick flashes of emotion (jealousy over poodle boy) but overall it's rare. We've seen her react to conversations (sympathy with Elisa), but we know she is simply going through the motions. Is she capable of real emotion? The only exception might have been her lie to Ewwww that Sonia told her he was the father.
I loathe Fer but I would live with her setting Eugenio up for a fall. As long as he takes Vicky with him.
Rgv Chick, poor Juanito. I agree with Kirby wholeheartedly that she would abandon him without thought "with her Mom with a certificate of title and a bill of sale". I think Fab or Eugnenio is the father.
I have a question I'm hoping someone can answer. I'm not clear why Majo's catalyst for her probably not going to happen murder spree. Did Dario actually have anything at all to do with Marcelo's murder? Eugenio ordered it but did he make Dario find the prisoners to make that happen? I don't think Dario has murdered anyone himself, but maybe I'm wrong.
Susanlynn, I think Leslie had pity for Clara but I wish she'd stuck with a hug rather than gifting her with a firearm.

Diana, as best as I could tell, when MaJo found Clara photographing her and then admitting that she was employed by Dario to spy on Majo, that seemed to be the straw when she asked Clara to get her a gun.
As far as we know Dario has not killed anyone. I think the only death he had a hand in was the windshield one. But he only orchestrated it, didn't push the fellow off the overpass himself.
Ewww ordered Dario numerous times to kill Mop, but he always seemed to have something come up. Then when Ewww appeared to give up on Dario doing it he looked to pull some strings and it was done. I believe Dario claimed to have done it for Scare effect.

Kirby and Diana, yes,the writers are having Dario huff and puff a lot and threaten to blow the house down in true Big Bad Wolf fashion , but we have not actually seen him kill anyone himself except the two henchmen who were going to attack Mojo. He has perfected that lipcurling sneer , but he would be a cutie if he smiled. I remember having detention hall with an older teacher who was an ex Maribe , and he told me to stop smiling and get a sterner look on my young face . Dario does an excellent job of sounding and !ooking ferocious to frighten and control the women folk.

Blue Lass, another fun read, thank you darling.
I'm typing this while watching the "Great British baking show".
I wonder if anyone in this show can bake. Don't matter they suck at relationships, they'd destroy the kitchen.
Looking at majo aiming that gun at
Loverboy would make a body think
She knew what she was doing. Show of hands, who here on the patio thinks she'll shoot the bully? Cuz
He looks scared to death. Breathing
Hard and all. She will have today and sunday to think about it. Rather she wants to blow boyfriend away. Of course he could get out of the bed buttnaked and wrestle the gun out of her shakey sweaty hands.
Stay tuned.
The nerve of Elies-alot n vic-ious getting mad cuz majo had the nerve to leave the house without their ok
Who cares, they're sneakin and slippin n dippjn. I understand why the title 'empire of lies". Most of the cast is lying. To each other.
What a lovely family.
When el shut the blinds I thought she was gonna tell leo about dario
Black mailing her but instead she squeals on majo just so he can stop
Tryin to blame her sainted tio.
Im not so sure fab knows either. I
Thknk he'd throw a hissy fit if he did. He would want to know when and
Where why and how. Well atleast why
When and where. How is a toss up. Did he remove his rug or just the clothes? Let's not go there.
So since jl didnt ask for the money to Build mom a room on the crowded house Tere assumes "dirty money". Well He may not even know its there. Leo Will get to the bottom of this evil mystery.
I'm glad they didnt show that reall
Bad scene with jl and adri on the
Sofa doing....something. Mario need
To calm down adri's not interested in him that way. He should forget a bout her and just be friendly like.
Well that's it for now. Now I'll read yall comments. That's always a fun read to.
Thank you Bluealass. Stay safe patio

Kirby, thank you for answering my question! So Dario's hands are dirty but not (totally) blood stained. Yet.
Susanlynn, I only remember one man really going after Majo after the kidnapping (were there two)? He's the one Kirby mentioned who got thrown off the bridge after trying to extort money.
I don't know if there is a connection between JL and Ewwww. Entirely possible.
I think JL and Adriana were PG 13 on the sofa. When something does happen, I hope we are spared. I prefer not having my corneas burned into my brain ☹
Nina, I loved "vic-ious" and yes, what a lovely family they are! Ack.

Nina, I loved "vic-ious" and yes, what a lovely family they are! Ack.

Diana, Dario shot the guys who were going to kill Mojo on Eww's orders.tbey chased her into tbe woods. After h e killed those guys, he took her to his mother's house.
I did not enjoy that scene of JL climbing all over tiny Adria na. What is up with this guy? Has he gone over to the dark side ?

Ahhh, I forgot that scene Susanlynn.
I don't think JL is redeemable but the writers may disagree!

Jl could break adri's pelvic I hope they never show them in any kind of position of The sexual positioning. He and his Tere were breaking those springs on that bed. The writers should just nix that hold idea.
Blue Lass everyone loved the fun in your recap. That's what we need these days fun cuz reality sucks right now.

Girl if we didn't have laughter we would probly die from depression. Sometimes we have to make ourselves
Laugh. That's why I like this patio
We are a group of crazy people that like to laugh. So kirby, susyQ, blue,Adriana, RGV, Steve, 2 cats & Diana, Urban keep em coming we'll
Survive this storm. I love the weird names we come up with for these people: poodleboy, fernasty vic-ious,eliesa/elies-alot,the rug,
Mop. These make these stories bearable. I never thought about how much fun I could have talkin to people from different parts of the world.

Thank you for this absolutely genius recap! So snarky and clever! I love it!
Wow, so Majo really is scaring Dario, huh? He looks unsettled, to say the least. We know it won't go anywhere because Dario is one of the more interesting characters in the show right now. I don't see them killing him off right now.
I agree, he is mostly bark, very little bite.

Thank you, Nina!
But just so you know, you're not too bad yourself :))
Tormenting Eliesa is the worst Dario has done so far. Majo's kidnapping doesn't count, if she forgives him, who am I to hold it against him? If he never actually kills another human being, then he might get a hapilly ever after or a small redemption at the end. Unless he kilss Eww, then he gets a cheer, a hug, and a kiss from this Patio (nevermind social distancing, Dario would deserve it).

Adriana,it seems that the writers are pulling us around with Dario . I just need him to concentrate on revenge on Eww. He hates him, we hate him. Lets do this.
Nina..you are so right. The patio is a haven from the world right now . We need to keep our spirits up .
OT..Adriana ..Ever since I was Suzette in high school French class, I have wanted to go to Paris , but the closest I got was Italy . Last night, I found a show on Netflix that will let me go to Paris .. " Emily in Paris" starring Lily Collins .

OT Oh, Susanlynn, there is a lot of talk online about Emily in Paris. And I do mean A LOT! I didn't watch it, but I heard it's enjoyable, filled with cliches but good fun.
My first time in Paris (which happened to be my first time in a different country) was pretty magical and my first job upon moving here was close to the Eiffel Tower. I love the city, sadly the last several years it has been affected by everything that is going on in France.
Never say never, though, having a coffee with you with the Seine as a background would be so great!
The five stages of redeeming Dario:
1 shave that beard
2 team up with Leo
3 kill Eww in self defense
4 go to jail for a while for all his other criminal activities
5 become a priest or something (joking, but why not?)

Thank you Susanlynn for the snarky recap. The writers, actors, and above all the 'wardrobe' provided the material.
What was E-lies-a thinking or better yet where did she hope to go in that 'halter' ? On the street? Even a street walker would not have made that outfit a 'first' (or third) choice. Bet Dario would have loved it.

5a put the MoJo video on TikToc ?
Anon 10:44 I took that 'Halter' of hers as just a reminder to us that she had bought something(s) to hold it up.

Adriana,I would love to see the actor playing Dario in good guy role without the ever present scowl. I liked your to do list .
I am curious about JL's comments to Adriana about Eww. What is his connection to him ? A real switch would be Adriana ending up with Leo since both Mario and JL want her .
OT , Adriana, a coffee with you by la Tour d'Effel would be a dream come true. My daughter got engaged in Paris . I had a student from France who kept correcting my attempts to speak to her in my poor French..so I stopped. I think You would get a giggle out of "Emily". It reminds me of a French version of " The Devil wears Prada. " That was based on a book by a girl who went to NYC . "Emily " is about a jeune fille who is sent by her marketing company in Chicago to a company they acquired in Paris .Hilarity ensues as cultures clash. Great views of your gorgeous city and wonderful fashions .

Gracias, Blue Lass.
Adriana and JL? That's a sticky wicket, indeed, both personally and professionally.
It's too early for Dario to bite the dust, so the smart money says Majo will not shoot him n tomorrow's episode. He could also bring about Eugenio's downfall, which would please all of us.
JL needs to follow the money trail. I am guessing that Tapia did this when he realized his days were numbered. That could blow apart the theory of suicide.

I actually had to look up 'sticky wicket'. I consider myself to have at least a grasp of The Queen's English, but there is always something to be learned on THIS patio.
Thanks Urban.
Thanks Urban.
I'm thinking back on Eliesa using JL as an attempt to show Leo what she was feeling like. She insinuated that Jose luis could be a dirty cop. Now we have Terribbit who won't accept any explanation other than that the money is dirty...could that have been some foreshadowing? or are the writers dangling that little carrot at as AGAIN just so that they can snatch it away from us when we try to grab it?
RGV so one dirty cop working directly under a second dirty cop with both beholden to the same criminal and they do not know about each other? The criminal sends his henchmen to murder the top dirty cop and the other one is not aware or involved in the least? I don't think so unless there is a secret TN 'Rule of Engagement for Extremely Secret Dirt' hidden even from me.
Yes, it doesn't make sense that JL was portrayed as a good cop and loving son and brother although maybe not a great husband and father , but now he has gone off the deep end personally and maybe is ivolved with Eweee. I think the writers are stirring the pot and intentionally tricking us with role reversals at this point in this tangled tale....who is good and who is bad ? JL seemed good but may be bad , and snarling Dario seems bad but just may turn out to finally stop Eww, save the Cantu girls, and be redeemed .
I am a little confused...Does Ewww know that Dario terrorized Vicious? Doesn't he care?

Susanlynn, no, awww doesn’t know about Scario threatening Vic.ious. He specifically told her not to tell anyone.
I don't see redemption for Dario because of the emotional torture he has inflicted. Nothing can wipe that out of anyone's memory.
I've never seen a tn with this many liars in it. This a world record.
But its interesting since the real
Name for this is "liar" but then
Somebody changed it to "Actor". All are somewhat good at pretending to being something they're not. This a
Story about lying people lyin their
Patooties off to save their own skin from being taken down and they
Turning on each other. And they love each other too. Hard to tell who the good guys are. Is leo n ren
The only truth tellers on this ship
Of fools?

I don't know how far in we are with this novela (maybe a third way in?) but yeah, they're yanking our chains here. JL Castro was a good guy, now he seems like a douche. Scario de Dario is back and forth. For a while I thought he might be redeemable, then he was so sadistic and terrifying to Elisa, so maybe not...but then again he seems to avoid killing anyone or doing violence (just scaring everyone) and there has been some foreshadowing when he mentions how they should all work together to take down Ewww.... so who knows?
Salsero in Amores Verdaderos was a full-fledged criminal, had to do prison time, but had his happily every after. So, who knows about Dario?

A page on Telenovela Law is a great idea! Soooo much to work with...
I agree with everyone that this tn is unusually chock-full of liars, unusually dark, and has an unusually low number of sympathetic characters. Usually there's someone to root for, even if it's just a spunky backup couple with more charisma than the main duo (the typical state of affairs, IMO.) The only person we like and respect here is locked up in a manicomio. What does that tell you? (I'm not sure what it tells me, but I know it's not good.)

Yeah you know it's weird when the only person you can root for in a tn of supposedly smart people is someone in the psych ward. And I dont think She belongs there. Her maybe but not her.
