Imperio de mentiras, Wednesday, #65, 12/30/20 The sick, the hurting and the insane

 Leo and Dario are in a fight for their lives. The gun goes off  and … Leo is on the ground, wounded, while Majo and Piedad look on in shock. Leo is well enough to asks Majo to call the cops, Piedad wants to call a doctor. Dario screams that he was only defending himself, while Majo finally calls for medical help.

Renata has been sedated by Creepy Oscar, who is back in the picture. Vic doesn’t know what got her so hot and bothered, wants a stronger sedative, since she’s afraid Ren might wake up and hurt her. She also wants the nurse to spend the night. Oscar says there is no need for another sedative, Ren will sleep through the night. Vic suggests committing her again, even Oscar seems to think this is too much.

Imperio de Mentiras 12/29/20 #64: Chaos, Criminals, And Co-Depency Reign Or I've Got Your Number

[This was done without the benefit of CC and perfect audio.  Please correct what I have incorrectly interpreted.--edit.]

Elisa is remanded back to prison to await her sentence for trafficking artworks and money-laundering.  It will be upwards of 25 years.  Leonardo goes berserk and quite loudly calls into question the judge's...er... lack of insight and moderation in sentencing guidelines.   To make matters worse, Fabricio and Victoria are the first to blame him for Elisa's conviction.  He's won and gotten what he'd always wanted from associating with her! Renata reminds her mother that Leo has been the only one trying to clear her name and begs him to get to the bottom of this injustice so El will eventually go free.

At the same time, Eugenio's lead henchman denies he or his gang had anything to do with Dario's escape.  Ewwy demands his henchmen find out then who did help Dario to break out of the prison van.  He is offering them $1 million US as a reward to whoever hands Dario over to him that by that evening.

Imperio de Mentiras Lunes 12/21820, Chapter 63: Mind Games

Hitchcock couldn't think of psychos worse than these.


In the midst of a conversation about Elisa, Dario put Fabricio in a headlock from which he managed to escape. They talked about working together to bring Eugenio down. Fabricio said he needed a week to gain the old creep's confidence. Dario probably took that under advisement, as he said nothing in return.Read more »

Coming to a Screen Near You...in 2021

Greetings, Caraymates and Happy Holidays!

 

Another telenovela year comes to an end and I’m sure you are wondering what 2021 has in store for us. In last year’s “Coming Soon” pages, I listed some TNs that are yet to be seen, but have already aired in Mexico. These include: Soltero Con Hijas and La Mexicana y El Güero; so, we may see these some time next year. As for “new” TNs, grab a seat in the patio and let me tell you what I know (or have found). Before I start, I do want to put in some disclaimers—

The information you are about to read was gathered from a variety of sources including, “Univision,” “People en Español,” “La Opinion,” “Wikipedia,” “Forbes,” “Las Estrellas,” and "MediaVillage”.  The articles/webpages read are dated from as far back as Spring, 2020; so changes may have been made by the powers that be in the production companies (and I am not privy to the changes). As you will note, I have very little information about release dates, but this page will be updated periodically throughout the 2021 year with any additional information I come across. If you have current or more accurate information to share, please do so; it will be greatly appreciated and used to update the page. So onward we go---

Imperio de Mentiras 12/22/20, #61: The Big Cheese, The Big Squeeze, And A Chatty Sleaze Or Two



At the prison, Elisa's benefactor during her prison stay, she learns,  is none other than Christina, who reminds El that their deal is she keeps her distance from Leonardo, his family and his friends and then Chrissie Baby sees that Leo keeps his job, his reputation and no doubt his sheets warm.  Above all she's not to mention to anyone that Leo helped her to hide from the law.  El tells Chrissy not to let the door hit her where the good lord split her and if she never sees her again it would be too soon.  Chrissy just snickers "--See ya soon." and struts her stuff back the way she came.

In the barrio, Nieves begs Clara not to leave with Renata Cantu and Sofia.  Clara tells Mama to back off but in much richer terms.  As Ren's car pulls out, Jose Luis's car pulls in.  Nieves explains that  Poor LIttle Rich Girl Ren is El's sister, who just took Sonia,  who was there to speak to Leo to make a formal statement about someone who had hurt her; Ren has rushed the woman off to her house after learning that Sonia's preggers with Ren's dead hubby's baby. (Now that's a telenovela plotline!)

Imperio de Mentiras Lunes 12/21/20, Chapter 60: Going Places

I am on leave for a couple of weeks; see you in the New Year My assistant presents just the facts for the duration. – Dashiell Hammett


Elisa surrendered to the police and asked Leo not to interfere. Christina must have been cheering in her addled head. She did not want Leo to talk to Elisa alone, insisting that she had to be taken to the reclusorio immediately. He asked her how low she intended to stoop. She told him she would allow two minutes. Her madness was obvious. She had classified Elisa as “dangerous” and an escape risk.

She closed the door and watched through its window as Elisa told Leo she said she would do this. She was innocent, but looked as though she was tired of running away. She had been forced into this by Dario. He was upset and unsure what to do. She was determined to fight and asked him not to abandon her. She embraced him and when he did in return Christina ordered Adriana and Mario to break them up.Read more »

Imperio de Mentiras #59, 12/18/20: You'll Never Walk Alone. Don't Even Try.

THE NIGHT BEFORE

Grand Central Love Shack

Leo finally comes out of the Little Policeman's Room to discover Cris has vaporized and Elisa is in a funk. She wants to turn herself in. He doesn't want her to. Adri and Mario walk in and say the coast is clear, so they group up into a convoy to go back to Mexico. 

Leo asks Adri to pep Elisa up while he phones his mom, so she climbs into the driver's seat and says hey. El wants to know if Leo and Cris were a thing, but Adri waves that off. Elisa also feels bad that Adri and Mario are risking their careers for her. She doesn't want to make any more trouble. Adri tells her that she and Mario are Leo's best friends, and Elisa is the most important person in the world to Leo, and that's why they will never leave her alone. Elisa sniffs prettily. 

Can't-Do War Room

The New Can't-Do Trio are still hashing out what to do about Dario's mom when Ren suddenly remembers what she's been reading in the Caray comments all week: she has an apartment! Why don't they take Piedad there? Then she realizes Clara and Majo aren't listening, so she leaves them alone to work out their girl stuffs.

Majo tries to friendzone Clara, but Clara isn't sure she can deal. Majo goes on to give a pretty impressive explanation of trauma-bonding as the reason both she and Clara are attached to the wrong people. Clara politely does not point out that at least she never pointed a gun at her, bled all over her, or made her get naked on the phone. 

Mea Culpa Hospital

Elisa and Leo arrive for Velasco support duty, with Adri and Mario on their heels. JL pulls Adri aside and rips her a new one for showing her face in front of his family: "You make me feel dirty!" What a tool.

JL and Leo go off to sign some Very Important Papers regarding Leslie's treatment, and Sara comforts gloomy Elisa. She tells her she saved Leo from drowning in his own grief. He truly loves her, and so he will never leave her alone. If I were Elisa, I'd be starting to feel a teensy bit claustrophobic right about now. 

Leslie wakes up and asks for Leo. She wants him to tell her what's really wrong; she knows her parents will shine her on. "Be brave!" he tells her. "You have The Only Childhood Disease in Mexico, but you're young and strong and we're all here for you and we will never, ever leave you alone." Leslie starts to cry, probably because she realizes she will not have a moment of privacy for the rest of her natural life.

Imperio de Mentiras, Ep. 58, 12/17/2020: Blondie Dim Bulb on da run, but Psycho Booty Got a Gun

 

We have a repeat of Leo whisking off to check out while Crisbitch lurks behind and glares at the cabin where she assumes Eliesa must be hiding. She takes a revolver out of her purse.

At the Grupo Can’tDo, Fab is taking care of business when he gets a call from Ewww’s minion. A messenger will deliver the documents Fab is to sign—documents to certify and confirm shipments. Minion also tells him to look through Eliesa’s paperwork for pricing certificates and he is to duplicate the prices. They need the documents today, so, the messenger will wait for the signed documents. Fab walks out of his office and runs into Fer who hands him the documents which have just been given to her by the messenger. After he grabs them and turns to leave, Fer comments, “You are doing exactly what Augusto did, or rather, you are doing what your father wants.”

Imperio de mentiras, #57, Wednesday, 12/16/20 The hidden and the unhinged

 Just some bullet points this time, I'm typing the recap as I'm watching (and then putting scenes together, with a little bit of snark on the side).

Adriana gives up on Mario’s friendship because of JLow’s sick control over her. And then screams at him that he can't control her life. Yeah...

The happy Fabrapoodle family are waiting on the DNA results. Fab thinks Fer is a worthless whore (his exact words basically), he’s going to fight for Juanito if he's his son.

Imperio de Mentiras 56, 12/14/20: Upping The Anti As The Bad News Bears Come Knocking

 


Leonardo and Elisa are stuck at the roadblock being checked by the officer in charge. "My wife doesn't need an ambulance; she has a headache because she doesn't have the medicine I left at the hotel.  We just need to get that."  Finally, we've got a cop who can relate to spousal guilt trips;  he relents and lets them pull out of the roadblock.  Lucky for Leo and El (and the telenovela gods) that in this little corner of the alternate universe Mexico's police use walkie-talkies still instead of slick cell phones or laptops with Instagram and twitter-sharing options in their cop cars......

Back at Grupo Cantu, Renata still has her funky uncky Eugenio corralled and is laying her cards on the proverbial poker table.  She's seen the report where the type of nefarious operation performed on her is discussed in glorious detail.  All she wants to know is who the heck gave them permission to do that to her.  Ewwy diverts and skirts asking if she really thinks him capable of harming her.  She is his favorite of them all and knows this.  Truly, she's been off her meds too long and needs to continue taking them.  He kisses her and hugs her as Viewerville has visions of a mafioso's last kiss to the condemned.

Imperio de Mentiras #54, 12/11/20: Elisa Copes, Ren Hopes, Fab Mopes, and Leo's a Dope

Leo and Elisa continue to marvel at the fantasyland their fairy godmother has created for them. 

Leo: I'm fired! Let's run away!

Elisa: Nah, let's just pretend. I'm good at that.

They get down to some serious nose-bending. I hope Renata has put out some space heaters, because these two continue to generate no BTUs whatsoever. 

Leo gives Elisa a promise ring and makes many promising promises. He seems blissfully unaware that nothing will change until she starts promising a few things, like telling the truth or maybe just paying attention. After all, he's been Steady Eddie all along. But the theme music starts kicking up, so it must be working. 

Ren and Majo are watching the scene unfold while hanging out an upstairs window. God, this family is creepy. Couldn't they just screen the surveillance video after? Ren looks touched. Majo looks constipated. 

*****

Leslie is crumpled in her bed like a wet dishrag while Tere and JL hover over her. She tearfully announces that the only thing that will make her better is her parents kissing and making up so they can all be one big dysfunctional family again. (Wait; what? Isn't that how she got so weird in the first place? Did they bring in a third set of writers while we weren't looking?) JL's phone keeps ringing, but he doesn't answer it. 

*****

Video montage with dramatic strings of all the sad girls in their pajamas: Clara crying in her room, Adri texting an unresponsive JL, Tere and Leslie asleep in her single bed, Fer whimpering on the floor. Cut to Elisa and Leo, out of their pajamas and not sad at all. At least it's not the theme song again.

Imperio de mentiras, #53, Wednesday, 12/09/20 Liar, liar, Rug on fire

 Eww defends himself in front of Fab – "Dario is the big baddie who did everything, I was only trying to fix all his porquerias, protect Elisa and the Cantus. And if you go to the police, you will ruin everything."

One flew over the cuckoo’s nest

Majo and Clara manage to get into Mau’s room by saying they’re part of his family. He is obviously sedated, wide eyes open, looking like what nightmares are made of. Majo tells him that Renata send her to check up on him. A nurse shows up with big bottles of pills for Mau. She encourages Majo to keep talking to him, because even if he looks like a catatonic contortionist, he can hear her. She’s not to worry, they are taking good care of him, even if they are short staffed. Why so, Majo asks. Because the head nurse, Estela, has died and most of the staff is at her funeral. When Majo asks, the nurse explains that Estela was mugged and killed when trying to defend herself, but it was strange, because nothing was missing (rookie mistake, art traffickers must make terrible muggers). As the nurse is talking, Mauricio gets restless, his eyes threaten to jump out of his eye sockets. The nurse remembers that Majo used to come visit another patient, so Majo admits that she lied about being part of Mau’s family. It was her sister, Renata, who asked her to come visit. The nurse doesn’t mind, she knows the two were friends. Majo asks why he’s being sedated, was there an unwanted baby inside his belly, too? No, she doesn’t say that, but it would be an honest presumption, right? The nurse explains that he tried to run away, so they are keeping him drugged in order to avoid another crisis. And that is medicine at its finest.

Imperio de Mentiras 52, 12/8/20: Doin' The Jailhouse Rock 'Cause We're All Up To Our Necks In It

 

With an easily enraged Leonardo doing the questioning one on one in the interrogation room, Cobra, aka, Dario, manages to purposely push every single one of Leo's buttons.  He screams at Leo to hit him.  When Leo refuses, Cobra gives Leo a head butt that kicks his nemesis into high hostile gear.  Adriana and Mario have to race in to tear the two apart.  They manage to pull Leo off Cobra and out of the room.  Cobra gets his jollies threatening to sue Leo for police brutality.  

At the Cantu manse, Majo asks Elisa what will happen to Cobra.  "--They keep him in jail while they put together a case against him."  "--You think that he's going to accuse you--Sorry.  Didn't mean to...."  They agree they've got to think of a legal strategy.  Majo's all for that. She encourages El to do whatever she's got to do, shady or not, to keep from going to jail.  El only asks Majo to help take care of Renatta since Mama is a lost cause. (Hell, so is Majo.  A perfect case of the blind leading the blind.)
