Imperio De Mentiras #72, 1/12/21: Disclosure, Closure and A Double-Dose of Deception


The discussion between Sonia and Adriana continues.  Adri tearfully stays in denial about Jose Luis being a paid informant (at the least) of Eugenio Serrano.   Adri insists that there has to be another reason JL would come to Serrano's home; she asks why when Sonia had the chance (all the many times there were) that she didn't say something to somebody, anybody?  For fear, my dear!  You are his lover (just see how badly you're taking it, right?)  and Leo is his brother.  Adri insists Jose Luis is a great guy.--and after all she should be able to give an unbiased assessment, right?  Adri sobs that she was JL's right-hand woe-man for years.  She'd have known somehow she's certain--perspicacious, perceptive woeman that she has been up to now, right?   Sonia says go ask Leo (I think) or tell? Leo what Sonia's told her.  No, Adri finally says she will ask JL upfront about this before talking to anybody else (Leo in particular?) because if so there must be a justifiable reason that he was forced to do this,  Yeah that's it!!??    Sonia says good luck with that.  Adri won't learn anything. He's deceived everyone, his brother, her, his family..... The only explanation for this that Sonia has, she says, is that Ewwy must have arrived at the correct price to buy the dude.  Adri asks Sonia to stay quiet and not speak to Leo about this yet.  Give her some time to confront JL with this and observe and hear his side of it.    Sonia doesn't really want to continue lying but will give her that bit of time to speak with JL.


Over at Grupo Cantu, Elisa tells Fabricio that Sonia plans to accuse Ewwy of the kidnapping and Marcelo's murder.  Sonia's being kept hidden by the police till she can render her statement.  Ewwy did try to get rid of Sonia also, but she was saved by the Coast Guard.  Nobody knows when she'll give testimony, but it's a fact it's going to happen.  Curley Locks can only defend Daddy by saying that Sonia's totally untrustworthy.  (SAYZ who?)  She was only living with the man during the kidnapping, Marc's murder, possible art trafficking, not to mention Auggie's murder (and Julia's).  So then, why's she kept her trap shut all this time.  "--Because she's afraid" (numbnutz).  Why else?  Fab says according to Papi she was only with him for his money [interes], that is wasn't in her best interest for her to say anything till now.   El clearly doesn't agree.  "--You agree with her then that my papi is the monster behind all of these atrocities."  "--You don't?" He fudges and says he's going to talk to his daddy; surely he'll be able to discern any lies. Either way, adds El, once she gives that statement they'll be looking at Grupo Cantu again.  Doubly bad news....Ok. so now Fab is agreeable to calling the business meeting for the shareholders to discuss this.  He'll do all he can to protect Grupo Cantu.  El is upfront and warns him that she'll do anything to protect her family from this and that means if she has to go against Ewwy, she darn right will!

So, if that weren't bad enough, Leo is getting harassing videos from Christina.  She sends him one of her infamous telephone video'd sexual trysts of them grabbing and locking limbs and knocking knees together. She texts, "I'm getting nostalgic."  The video begins to play.  He calls her back.  "--You trying to extort  money from me?"  No, not at all.  She just thought his seeing the video would make him as hot and bothered as she is...he did call her back, correct?  And, they're both single now, right?  He blows her off.  Fuggeddabowdit.  "--I'll be waiting."   He trashcans the video.  What to do, what to do....

Upstairs at Sara's, Clara and Leslie are dressed up and ready to go out.  Theresa walks in on them.  Leslie begs to be allowed to go out for a bit.  Mama says ok.  Nothing will happen, according to Leslie.  However, she has a date planned with Kissin' Carlos.

Leo, meanwhile, is now at Adri's asking to speak to Sonia who is conveniently playing possum.  He mentions that Sonia's seeing the judge the next day.  Olvera wants the Serrano nightmare to end yesterday if not sooner.  So then Leo should be calmer and can see El without a hassle.  He adds that then JL can deal totally with his transfer and Leslie as well.  Adri feigns needing to finish some paperwork at the fiscalia and Leo needs to go rest.  She drives herself off.  

Once they're at the coffee shop, Leslie admits to Clara that if things are going a bit fast with Kissing Carlos, it's because she's got no time to waste and is thinking of sleeping with him--although she won't tell him she's actually dying.  He may reject her if he knows this.  Carlos does appear on time and Clara leaves them together for a while.  

Leo and El make a date to meet at the park where they've been together before.  She has important information for him.  He tells Mama Sarah not to mention his meeting with El to anybody.  Again, Viewerville expects that everybody who is anybody, and those who are not will know in a N.Y. minute.  Might as well post it on Twitter or the nightly news.....

Back at the restaurant, Carlos admits he cannot get Leslie out of his mind, or that hot kisssssss.  He wants to be with her today, tomorrow, and the day after...even forever.  She kisses him.  She just wants to live for the moment, for the now.  They share another kiss. 

Crude Christie Cruel Shoes, meanwhile is outside Leo's place apparently following Leo.  She calls Mario to ask where Adriana is if not at the fiscalia.  Also, I think, she needs him to find out Sonia's location and bring her in...to protect her of course......    

Majo goes to visit Death Star Dario.  She tries talking Dario into getting them conjugal visitation.  She's that horny she admits.  But, also, no more talk of running away.  She's not going on the run with him now because she doesn't want her child to be a fugitive like his daddy, always hiding and running.  (From the mouths...er...wombs of babes.)

Renata has regained her Renutty crown.  She has a call with Tio Ewwy about the baby and wants to have it delivered to her forthwith.  He says don't get so antsy; said bebe still has yet to be born.  

After the call ends, Victoria arrives at Ewwy's.  He tells her Ren is desperate.  She says they have got to find a way to control her.  Ewwy says don't worry, the thought of getting a baby has her under control.  He reminds Vicki to tell Ren to keep her mouth S.H.U.T.!!  Vicki finds it in her heart to complain UH-gain about the whore-bitch that is still being allowed to work at her company.

Back at the What  Can't We Do  For U manse, the housekeeper informs Ren that Mauricio is downstairs wanting to speak with her.  Ren has him turned away. 

At the police station, Adri gets an inconvenient call from JL while she is snooping around in his drawers, finding zilch, zero, NADA.  He asks her how she's doing.  She tells him she knows he didn't call about her so what does he want?  Does she have a lead on Sonia and will she tell him?  She tells him she can't there in the station so they agree to meet in 30 minutes.  He then goes into an I Love You loop and sounds like a freaking broken record.  Enough already!!

When Clara returns to the restaurant she learns that Carlos and Leslie have split. She leaves a frantic message on Leslie's voicemail.  Leslie is too busy warming the sheets with Kissin' Carlos and doesn't get the frantic call or message from Clara.  

At  Ewwys, meantime, Fab is worried.  El's called a shareholder's meeting.  She now knows about Dario.  Doesn't matter, says Ewwy.  Fab says well it matters and a lot to El now that she knows about Dario.   Ewwy says he will soon be seen as a true hero in her eyes again.  And, BTW, don't worry.  El won't take back control of Grupo Can't Do Enough For You. But, remember that nobody is indispensable.  "--Is that a threat from you, Papi?"  Ewwy responds that he didn't build this entire empire just to have it taken from him.  He may be his son, but one traitorous move on Fab's part and it's all she wrote for him.   

Ren spies an ultrasound envelope on Majo's bed.  She pulls out and reads the ultrasound report and bebe2be pix.  Once it's read she goes Bat Shite Crazy.  Majo tries to take the report and picture back but Ren shoves her against the wall.  She tells Majo that they're giving it  (Dar-Jo) to her and they cannot take her baby away!  Then Ren, as Madam Hyde, throws Majo onto the floor and begins mouthing repeatedly to herself  "--"That's MY baby!  That's MY BABY.  You can't have it!  That's my baby!"  Majo, Renutty's newfound baby factory, looks on in horror.  Majo looks afraid for her life, and Viewerville definitely finds no fault with that assumption.

So, unbeknownst to El and Leo, Christie Cruel Shoes has followed Leo and now knows after viewing their passionate kissing that El has gone back on her "word."  (Majo, call your office!)  After said tongue salute, El informs Leo that Fab is going to call the stockholders meeting at her request.  However, when she told him about Sonia he seemed to think that whatever Sonia's about to tell is false and only a means of revenge.  Leo says it's not that way, especially after she was found left to die in that boat and Marc's death.  Elisa says well she's not going to argue about that.  She's going to trust in the person running her company right now, that being Fab (and so much for independent thinking, especially when it comes to being handcuffed and left to die of thirst and hunger while preggers).  Leo agrees not to confuse her further with facts.....

Adri meets up with JL in the parking garage as agreed to.  She confronts him with accusations of being on Serrano's payroll.  He tries to divert the conversation using his I love you and Leslie's ill."  "-Don't tell me that you love me; just tell me if it's true.  Don't give me excuses about your daughter." He says nothing.  "--Why don't you deny it?.  Tell me that you didn't betray us, that you don't work for Eugenio Serrano!"  "--This was Sonia, right?"  "--You are a crook!  You don't even respect your own brother?" "--You have no right to judge me!"  "--Maybe I don't, but your brother does.  I'm going to tell him everything!  I going to tell him how you did everything and anything to protect Eugenio Serrano's backside!'  "--You can't I've got to save my daughter!"  "--No, you shouldn't have sold yourself!" He begs for time to escape with his daughter.  I need to find someone to help me save her!  (Didn't we just have an "I Beat Cancer!" party at the house? oh, yeah, you're trying to save your ratty ass by using the sympathy card; I almost forgot.)  This starts to work and he plays it for all its worth.  "--They will kill me.  Then what will she do?? (Uh, well then what are Terry and Leslie supposed to do with that passel o' pesos, pops?  Forget they exist, because he conveniently has.....) What would you do if it were you in my place, huh?"  Adri tells him not to try confusing her. (Viewerville sees that as a constant condition in her case.)..."--Look, if I don't hand over Sonia to Eugenio, they are going to kill me."  The I love you's start flowing along with the alligator tears and, once again, we see them hugging and kissing as he rolls his eyes when she's unable to see......Adri ends up doing the nookumsnookum nasty with the sly, misbegotten canine.

Back at the park, El says please, come with proof.  He says there's plenty of proof.  Well, she's going to watch and see what ol' Curley Locks does and says.  Just then she gets a frantic phone call from Majo telling her what just happened between her and Renutty.   FF>>FF>>

Terry takes another look at the hidy hole of pesos and opens a box.  Her mouth drops open.  She leaves a frantic call to JLow to tell him they need to talk about where all that came from cuz it just doesn't seem right.  However, hubby is not available...he's in the middle of cop talk...as in cop--ulating with Adriana The Banana-brained.  

Speaking of similar afternoon delights, Leslie and Carlos The Kisser have been napping post nookumsnookum themselves.  Carlos wakes up and realizes how late it is.  He tries waking up Leslie, but no can do.  Ruh-Rohhhhh! How's he going to explain this to mama and papa?  His as well as hers......

Post-coital conversation at Adri's:  "--I suppose the next conversation you and I have will be in the Jail House...or dead.  I don't know how I will ever look my brother in the eyes again."  She is silent for a good long minute or three, then says, "--Sonia is in my apartment." "--W-What did you say?"

OMG, this episode was all over the place! Thank you, Jardinera, for putting your snarky spin on things, I was nodding along with you.

First thing: if Leslie dies now, at least she will die a happy woman, right? Going out with a bang - that's how you do it!

Elisa trusts Fab because he's running her company, but she demands proof from Leo??? I wasn't paying attention when they were talking, did I hear that right? How are these two so in love if they can't even agree on a secret hook up place where nobody could see them? Hiding in plain sight is definitely not the answer!

The return of Renutty - haha, loved that part, Jardinera! And she's crazier than ever. I have to ask: will a baby be better off with Renutty or Dario Scarioon the run? Better have the wolves raise the poor soul.

And last, but not least... ADRIANA! Girl, you're making me change my Caray Caray name - I've never felt more ashamed of the female species. At this point she's becoming an accomplice of Eww herself. Cristina should have caught these two in the act, not lame marshmallows Leo and Elisa.

Ugh, gotta prepare for my recap, I'm gonna need something strong to go through it.
 

Adriana: I'm calling it right now: Sonia will get whacked!

OMG Adriana is a fucking weakling!
 

Oh Jardinera. Too many to list, but "middle of cop talk...as in cop--ulating with Adriana The Banana-" is probably the most clever in this one. Thank you.

The Adrianna saga is completely unbelievable. And that pisses me off even more. So what is it about old JL that makes him just absolutely irresistible to Adri? His looks, nope, he is married, treats her like shit, lies to her, and is a criminal. The only thing left is that he is capable of saying 'I love you' over and over." Is that it? When anvils start falling I hopeo hers hits dead center. Splat. Take her out of the gene pool.

The interesting thing about lies and deception, is the cumulative nature of it all. Like the old snowball rolling downhill.
 

Sorry, gang. I had to clean up the errors and typos.

Adriana--LOL I know I keep thinking about that when her name comes up.


Kirby: When anvils start falling I hopeo hers hits dead center. Splat" ITA--lol!! It actually caught me by surprise and made me draw in a breath. Never saw that coming.

Steve: I think she will get away and finally redeem herself.

I don't see Mau and Ren getting back together. I think Ren may end up losing it and losing her life--maybe being sent back inside the loonybin.



 

Jardinera, clever, clever, clever.

"cop talk...as in cop--ulating" and "perspicacious, perceptive woeman" were beyond.

Completely with you Adriana. I can't recall ever being as disappointed in a character as I now am with Adri. Giving up pregnant Sonia to revolting, reprehensible JLouse was incomprehensible (for all the reasons you noted Kirby). "Adri ends up doing the nookumsnookum nasty with the sly, misbegotten canine.". May that comfort you for the solitary years you will spend in prison - no light of day and as a police woman, surely a favorite of the inmate population.

Am I wrong or hasn't Leo said all along that any sexual relationship he had with Cris was all in her mind???? Whhaaaat???

And our fierce Renata is now not only taking the bus to crazy town, she's now driving???

The writers are turning everything and everyone on their heads.

And heaven help me but if Leslie is to pass, I hope she did so. I don't want to see her painfully revived only to pass in agony. Poor Clara, if anyone deserves some happiness here, she surely does.

Jardinera, simply great. Thank you so much.

Diana
 

Great work, Adriana.

What the hell is your namesake about, anyway? I can't believe she has that little self-respect and could now be responsible for Sonia getting murdered within the next two episodes. Is JLowestoftheLow the only man who ever looked at her out of the corner of his eye?

Despite some flashes to the contrary, Renata is not well at all. This looks like a complete setback.

Christina seeing Leo and Elisa together is going to provoke her thirst for blood.

Finally, who else thinks that Carlos will possibly freak out and decide to become a priest?
 

Jardinera, oh my ,a big thanks to you for translating this episode which was disturbing on so many levels.

First, this odd , tragic storyline that the writers have spun out for Leslie . I had an uncomfortable feeling when Carlos appeared out of the blue that The writers decided it would be a good idea to give poor Leslie a new hairdo and one night of love and then..... Awful.

And geez...Adriana ...we should change her name because I like and respect our own Adriana so much . I will from here on refer to her simply as A. Seeing her and JL naked and moving the sofa...yuck. I didn't appreciate having that image seared into my brain. All those tears and Soul searching and then she sells Sonia out for a bunnyhop with despicable , begging, crawling Neanderthal man. UGH.

Confused ...did Leo move the sofa with Cris or not ? I am beginning not to care.

Ren seems to have gone around the bend now, but the writers love to move these characters back and forth from.the dark to the light. I guess nobody likes good guys anymore. Antiheroes and flawed sould seem to be in vogue nowadays.
 

Susanlynn, I'm confused too!

So much treachery and treason last night (Adri, NOT our Adri, I'm looking at you!)

It was interesting Cris' tape didn't show the actual faces but if it wasn't him, Leo would have been livid, right??

So much happened last night but this was a pivotal reveal if true and Leo IS a liar then.

What else has he lied about?

Diana
 

Susanlynn, don't worry. I changed my name lol.
I mean, I would probably be just as stupid as her if JLow looked like Cristian de La Fuente. And had a mansion. And wasn't living with his mother. And his wife!! And had a sick child who knew about us...

Urban, thank you, but this was Jardinera's masterful work. Cristina better do something bad quick, so far the worst she's done was harass Leo and threaten half the precinct with immediate termination.
 

OUR Adriana: True about Cris. I have been secretly half ass rooting for her all along. OK, stalking Leo is not good......BUT she is in a position in Internal Affairs to do some real harm / damage if she really wanted to. Thus far she hasn't. Her non-Stalker pursuits have been admirable.

TBHonest, putting her little STALKER thing aside, she is still a far better deal than 'Up to her ass in alligators' E-Lies-a. And she has probably told , like .0001 percent as many lies as has E-LIES-a. And I'm sure she is lying, but she claims to have forgotten more about moving sofas than Eliesa could ever hope for. To a few guys..(99.99 percent) that is a real attribute. Just sayin................





:-)
 

Diana, I , too, noticed that you couldn't see Leo's face in that video. Is Chris daft enough to film some other guy ?
I find her very creepy in her obsession with Leo. Why would someone want someone who doesn't return those feelings ?.

As this tale spins out, there is no way to figure out where this will end. We used to be able to count on the good getting a happy ending and the bad...well ending somehow....death of jail. Now viewers seem to get no hint as to how storylines will be resolved . I like happy endings .

ot.....Diana, have you heard from Judy B ? I miss her here at caray.


 

Almost every character in this story has more issues than The New York Times. Enough for a good psychiatrist to write a book.

Christina is sufficiently psycho to film someone else and deep-fake to superimpose Leo's face onto him. Let's hope he has an identifiable birthmark she couldn't duplicate.
 

Daft...What a charming word. When our beautiful American language is being texted out of existence by a world which considers the capital letter U a personal pronoun.
 

OT...Kirby , yes , I agree. I corrected compositions that used "U" instead of "you." Tragic. English is such a huge, dynamic language with such a rich, treasure trove of words . We have so many synonyms for words. It is sad that people don't use more of them . I was lucky to have a dear cousin as a pen pal when we were teens . We started emailing each other about two years ago . He is a good writer with a rich vocabulary , and we write in full sentences and correspond every day now.
 

OT. Yes, English has a lot of words which mean ALMOST the same thing, but an underlying nuance. When you bother to learn them it is a lifelong asset.
 

Boy Ole Adri is gonna look pretty stupid and uncaring when JL or Ewww, or Minion comes to her house and kills Sonia right there. Or at best takes her away and her body is found later.

"How oh How did JLowest find out Sonia was at your place Adriana?"
"Um...I think I talked in my sleep?"
 

A. Earned a big anvil last night. The writers chose to kill off poor Leslie . What is their plan for A.? JL? Cris? Ew? Icky? Fern? Fab?

The writers love to show characters going back and forth from good to bad . Both JL and A. Were on the good side of the equation at the begin ning. At first, Tere seemed to be an awful wife, mother, and daughter in law , but then the writers did a complete turn around and made JL the bad guy .

The writers also are playing with Ren's role . She seemed to be getting clearer and to have some keys to what was going on with Tio and Icky in the past. Now, she seems to be spinning out of control .
 

Well, what now? Now that triple the
Orgasms has loosened adri's tongue
To blab where Sonia's been hidding.
"If I dont hand Sonia over to ewgy
They will kill me" I'm paraphrasing
So what he is saying is that it's best for sonia who is carryin a Live baby To die instead of his dying baby who is probly already dead from being sexed to death by the Best kisser in mexico. Somethin
Like that.

Renata Renata what can I say about
Renata? I'm typing this with a british accent,lol. Now was she say
ing that majo is going to give her
Dario's baby or is she still in Sonia's baby mode? She dont want to see mauricio cuz he ain't nutsville
No more. Maybe he can help her,well snape out of it.

Ewgy n icky are the most repulsive
Pieces of pus I ever seen in a tn. If there are any other tns with some who are worst than these two I dont Think I've ever seen them. And they Dont give two dams about that baby Or ren-nutty. Yall heard what ewgy said to curly-locks, he'd have him Killed, and he's his favorite son. Icky wants renata to be quiet, controlled. I have this sneaking suspicion that these two did some evil years ago and renata saw them
Do it and they both thought it was
A good idea to keep her doped up for the rest of her life So she wont remember what she saw and what she Heard them two demons do.

Now crooked cristy is gonna make trouble for majo and elisa. Ya know
Life is just to short to be running
After somebody that don't want you when you can be someone who does. I was so happy when that giant trash can Came up on The screen. But he wasnt Careful, now the woman is soo scorned.
She'll be a pain in the ass now, more than she was when she first came. I really dont care to see her on the Telly no more. I typed that
With a British accent too, lol.

I gotta say this, adriana is so stupid. Her turning over on sonia
Means she don't care of theh kill her. For that stupidy she can die.
I dont like her. If all it takes is sex with that giant troll she will deserve whatever she gets and mario
Don't need to waste no more time yearning after her. And if she is setting a trap to get him caught I
Will apologize to her.

Jardinera this episode was Oh so
Disappointing. But you as usual jus
Brung it to life. The bad guys are still winning. You recappers make these stories bearable. Thank you!
 

Thank you Jardinera, for making this confusing episode a little bit less confusing.
I still don’t understand why Adriana told JL that Sonia was in Adriana’s apt. Did she realize what JL was planning? I thought he made it quite clear that he wanted to stop Sonia from testifying against both Eugenio and himself! Eugenio would kill him if that happened. What did Adriana think that JL would do if he found Sonia? Obviously, he would kill her or turn her over to Eugenio, which would be the same result. So, Adriana would abet in the murder of Sonia to save JL from being murdered by Eugenio?? She is as awful as he is!
 

HI Fe! Obviously, he would kill her or turn her over to Eugenio, which would be the same result. So, Adriana would abet in the murder of Sonia to save JL from being murdered by Eugenio?? She is as awful as he is! --Yup, you answered your own question. He cried they'd kill his daughter (and himself I think). She decided she cared more about him than her job or the future implications of aiding and abetting a criminal. She betrayed Mario, Sonia, Leo and possibly Elisa and her family's safety is now at stake as well as Sonia's.)
 

Thanks Jardinera! Just difficult to believe she would sacrifice all those people to that monster! Wait until she finds out that he killed Augusto and maybe Julia!
