Caray, Caray!

Lejos

I'm at a Milwaukee Brewers game tonight and won't be watching tonight's Lejos de Tí episode until tomorrow sometime. Anyone can jump in with a short paragraph with the high points of tonight's episode.


 

"SENOR10"
Howdy from the Alamo City CarayCaray Family. Here's my super-short recap of this evening's episode.

*Dahlila gets scolded by Slippery Mauricio over the Computer Hacker Girl getting away LOL.

*Daddy Starbucks suffers a health scare during the typical scolding of Dahlila & the Police Department.

*Constanza resists Dahlila's attempts at going further than a hug & scolds her too; Dahlila leaves flustered by using the elevator.

*Rutila still couldn't pull the trigger at Crazy Lucy when it mattered. Oh well!

*Hothead Diana visits David at the hospital.

*Rutila & Felina cooking up something against Crazy Lucy. What could possibly go wrong 🤔

Lunes Anastasia, the Brewers won. I looked it up and also discovered they’re in first place. I wish I could say the same about the San Francisco Giants. I’ll do a quickie.

This was another impactful episode. Yep, Mine was shot by Sadakat. Alya becomes hysterical and wants to save her while Sada burns the documents that prove Boran was Ecmel’s child. Alya shouts that Mine is a mother. Alya is dragged away by Sada’s henchies. Ecmel arrives and says that Cihan did it.

Cihan arrives and Alya runs into his arms, sobbing, and telling him she was trying to convince Mine. Sada tells her sons what she did. Zero shame. Alya says she’ll tell the police. [Once again, I ask: how can Ecmel seize Alya’s child from her even if it is his grandchild?]

Ecmel comes home to say what happened. We get lots more Fidan ranting and Demir chiming in that Cihan is a horrible person. Nare looks stricken and leaves the table. When they are in their room, she refuses to tell Sahin the big secret. [I believe clamming up is the wise thing to do. It’s going to affect their marriage, but Sahin is a total wimp around his father.]

Don’t know if something was cut, but Alya and Cihan are away from Midyat. They speak of Mesopotamia. There’s another kiss, but they play that awful love theme. They sleep in the same bed, fully clothed but snuggled up.

Alya and Cihan are there to observe Mine’s casket. Guess it’s her ex having made the arrangements. Mine’s daughter stares at them.

When they come home, Alya tells Sada that, yes, she won’t go to the police. But Sada will be living with her own conscience.

Cihan takes Alya to work at the hospital. But he and Kaya want to speak with the woman he saw by Boran’s grave. Bottom line she says that the body in the grave is her husband, Omer Bakir, not Boran Albora. Then she can’t breathe, the staff comes rushing in, and that’s that.

Cihan’s lawyer gets some background. It was a bit confusing to me, but they learn the name of one Vurgun Celebi, who lives in Istanbul. He was in touch with the Bakirs.

Cihan lies, saying he’s going to Syria for some urgent business matter. Cihan, Kadir and Muzaffer arrive in Istanbul. Vurgan appears to work on wrist watches or is a jeweler. He clams up. Cihan sees prayer beads in the drawer that belonged to Boran.

Cihan and the guys stake out Vurgun’s shop and follow him home.

Alya puts Cihan’s photo in her locket.

Kadir and Muzaffer point guns at Vurgun, and Cihan enters the apartment. He looks horrified upon seeing a hospital bed and medical machines in a room. I suspect it’s Boran.

Thank you for the summary, Novelera. I’m having trouble getting into this season, even though there’s lots of excitement. I think I just am tired of all the yelling, guns, etc.

Sadakat did shoot Mine. No surprise there. She is cold-blooded. But she is probably right that to keep their secret it will be much easier now. She didn’t want her family to do it, but would have liked Alya to. I find her really awful.

Hmmm. Maybe it is Boran! Wouldn’t that be a plot twist! I’m thinking back to the beginning and his funeral is where we started!

As I said, I’m about to drop this. I have lots on my plate and it hasn’t worked for me. The summaries have been great, however.

Thank you so much Novelera!! I had family visiting so couldn’t join in earlier.

Wow what a plot twist!! Me, I’m hooked.

I did think Sadakat’s conscience was a teeny bit troubled.

Boy, are these two chaste! I mean, they’re married so they could strip down and have at it.

I don’t think Sadakat’s conscience will be much bothered by Mine’s death. It might be a bit of a shock to her, actually succeeding at murder after failing to shoot Alya, but she’ll justify the killing as protecting her grandson.

A grandson who could be safe in Canada now! How many times has Alya been at the airport ready to leave? Three times? At least twice. Maybe if she gets another chance, she should get on the dang airplane.

Season 2, ep 6
Tuesday

Very quick recap:

The patient they found in Instanbul was Boran. He is in a coma. Cihan and co. brought him back to Midyat or Mardin. He will be in hiding to keep him safe from those who tried to kill him before.. The bodies were switched in Canada after the accident while Alya was unconscious. The guy from the store in Istanbul is Boran's caretaker. It's coming up on the one-year anniversary of his "death". Sorry to be so short on an important episode, but that's all I have time for.

Much appreciated Anastasia!!

Nobody thanked the body guard!! He has loyally been taking care of Boran all this time and even got him safely away from the baddies and transported to Turkey. The guy deserves lavish thanks and also a stack of money.

Also he said Alya didn’t know what he looked like. How could she not know what her husband’s body guard looked like?

Boran had a neatly trimmed beard and now Cihan is shaving it to ugly stubble length. Bleh.

Anyway, all this is a great plot turn.

"SENOR10"
Anastasia, Maggie, Liz, Blue Lass, Dondi356, Kat in SC & Halimacandy: Here's my super-short recap of last night's episode.

*Dahlila meeting with Castillo at DEA Mexico headquarters in Mexico City.

*Constanza & Mauricio getting their freak on.

*Aurelio & Crazy Lucy: Fast Forward.

*Felina, Hothead Diana & Rutila discussing something that I hadn't comprehend.

*Gomez Labrador speaking to Cifuentes on the phone discussing about a potential bloodbath, etc.,

*Aurelio talking to some weird spirit 🤔

Maggie - I missed some of that. I know I want to watch the explanation scene with English subtitles online.

Last spring, I caught a piece of discussion of the Turkish season 2 (Google translates Turkish Youtube comments) and knew Boran was not dead. I quickly stopped looking. I wanted to stay in the present romance. So I was not surprised that they quickly ended Mine's story and had Monday's episode emphasize Cihan's and Alys's togetherness. Cihan's dismay mixed with joy when Boran was found was well expressed by the actor. (I can't look up his name while I am in this blog. )

Ozan Akbaba is the critically-acclaimed actor playing Cihan. He was just incredible last night portraying Cihan's shock, dismay and joy that Boran was found.

I've finally caught up to the current episode. I intend to continue watching the second season. Once I'm finished with recapping KPA, (should be in mid August) I can pick up a Friday recap for this. I'll continue to do 1/wk for Golden until we finish it.

No surprise that Boran is alive and that Sadakat killed Mine. Should we expect Cihan's first love, Meryem, to come back as well? They've mentioned her a few times.

I hope they do not try to redeem Sada. I was so pissed when they redeemed Azize in Hercai. Some characters should not escape the anvil.

ITA, Anastasia, Ozan did a good job with the Boran reveal. Let's see what Sinem Ünsal (Alya) can do with the reveal.

 

Lejos Q for Novelera

Novelera, if you see this, are you doing the recap for tonight's (Wednesday) episode or shall I? Perhaps I should, if you can do Friday's. I won't be able to watch Friday's episode until Monday or Tuesday.

I'll take a few notes tonight just in case I don't see a Wednesday recap tomorrow.
