Caray, Caray!

It's that time again! Karmageddon arrives to deal itself to the evil ones we have discussed and analyzed to a degree that Freud and Jung would applaud. Evil is escalating every day as all the Deadly Sins (Pride, Greed, Wrath, Envy, Lust, Gluttony, Sloth) are committed. The usual questions apply:

• What do you think the writers will do to them?

• What do you think they deserve?

If I have forgotten anything in the following, please advise so I can revise. This should include all data through episode 80.

Rolando Molina Rubio / Lisardo Guarinos

Guilty of at least two counts of murder (German and Rigoberto), attempted murder of Pepe, unknown number of counts of financial fraud, severe mental cruelty toward Paula and all her children, and criminal collusion with Natalia, Malena, and Renata, Two counts of kidnapping of a minor (attempted to dump Diego in a conversion camp against his will and illegally; taking Susy away when Paula entered hospital on in Ep 73) and numerous verbal abuses directed toward Diego as well as about him to others. Classist to the max, phobic about dirt and disease, he once told Natalia he would kill Paula “when she gets too sick.” Hired the vandals that destroyed the restaurant.  His latest atrocity was to kidnap Susy to force Paula to kick Pepe to the curb by threatening to not let her see her daughter again., said as cruelly as possible.

He married Paula to get her money while claiming to love her, and all the while sweating up the sheets with Natalia. Not to mention creeping us all out when interacting with Renata.  

Malena Garcia Robles / Elsa Ortiz

Guilty of attempted murder (Paula), multiple attempts at romantic/erotic entrapment, an unknown number of adulteries, including Rafael (her brother-in-law). Guilty of setting up Zaida and later perjuring herself in court to insure Zaida went to prison. She partnered with Rolando, conspiring to rob Paula's family of their fortunes. She became an accessory before the fact to Renata to cause trouble between Emiliano and her own daughter and became an accessory (though unknowingly) to Rolando in the death of Rigoberto. With a little help from Natalia she coerced Teresa into a scheme to set up Pepe for guilt in a hit and run that could bankrupt him, send him to prison, or both. Also guilty of outrageous vanity in the belief that she is The Ultimate Woman who can capture any and all men by her hormones and therefore has a major sense of entitlement about it. Her fashion felony rap sheet must also be miles long.

She deludes herself and lies to others about her adequacy as a mother. She not only does not love her children she has verbally abused them on a regular basis. Never learned sign language to effectively communicate with Teo.

She has vocalized her wish for Paula's death more times than anyone else has.

Her interim punishment of the scar received in setting herself up as a victim is inadequate payment for her crimes.

Renata Longorio Portillo / Elena Pérez

Guilty of the same vanity and sense of entitlement that drives Malena. It is strong enough that she disregards Emiliano's ending their relationship after getting to know Lucia. She is a classist snob who has no interest in actually working for a living, forever queening her perceived social superiority over campesinos and anyone else she wishes to see as inferior. She coerced a male friend into helping her effort to get Emiliano back. This backfired on her when Federico tried to rape her, then left the country to join his parents abroad. She over-consumes alcohol and forces Emiliano to do so. When Lucia refused to give Emiliano back to her she attempted to destroy Andrea's reputation with posters that lied about her morals. The retaliation she got from classmates was not enough to stop her.

Her recent hate move against Lucia was to arrange – with Rolando – for the disruption of the music event at Pepe's family business and that became its final destruction. She followed up by going over there to gloat over it. Too many lies told to count. Also looks too slutty with bare midriffs and dark roots. Was rejected by Emiliano in episode 80, but she probably isn't done yet.

Natalia Ferrer Martinez / Sofia Rivera Torres

Guilty of prolonged hatred of Paula due to unbridled envy and successfully faking a loving friendship for more than ten years. Colluded with Rolando to enable him to marry Paula to get access to her assets with the goal of stealing her children's inheritances. Concealed her knowledge of Rolando murdering German. Stole the Castillo properties and the money Lorenzo gave to Rafael, then attempted to con more out of Lorenzo. Boinked Rafael to use him against Pepe and by extension Paula. Colluded with both Malena and Renata in their nasty schemes and later dropped both like hot potatoes. Viciously disrespectful to both Gracia (her birth mother) and Rosa (her adoptive mother) and more so toward Paula with lies and attempts at sabotaging her efforts to plan for her children's survival after her anticipated death. Not to mention Paula' corporate image. Threatened her life multiple times.

Let's get serious about what these nasty people deserve.
