Amar a Muerte, 12/12/2018, Episode 29: Which Ones Are the Bad Guys? Oh, They Are ALL Bad


Recap by Kirby J


The tension continues as León/Chino/Jacobo (LCJ) tells Armenta that Lucía will come through, but Armenta is getting impatient waiting while Lucia negotiates with Montilla and tells LCJ that he is fed up, Lucía is taking too long with the mayhem caused by the cops. As Armenta tells LCJ that his time is up and points Juanita (his lovely pistol) at his head, main goon leader rushes in to tell Armenta that the cops are leaving. Armenta wonders what saint LCJ prays to, but then tells him that the Saint must not have heard him.

Out in the corridor, Lucía thanks Montilla for saving her life and that of her chauffeur’s. Montilla is upset and chides Lucía for provoking such a big sting operation just because of her impertinence. Whatever happens next will be her responsibility, and she needs to respect the police. Lucía apologizes, and when they turn to go inside they hear a gunshot!
Karla arrives home and sees all the disorder. When she goes inside and sees Pedro passed out on the floor and runs to him. She tries to bring him to, but he is unconscious so she calls for an ambulance. As she talks to the operator, she sees the note from “El Ruso” (long-bearded goon) which demands that she return the money or there will be more beatings of those close to her.

Amar a Muerte, 12/11/2018, Episode 28: Go Away, Little Boy! OR I am Woman, I Am Strong!



Recap by Rgv Chick



Previously: Armenta reminds Lucía that she doesn’t need a weapon to kill someone; she has the newspaper and more power than she realizes. She suggests that they use that power…together

Leon/Chino/Jacobo (LCJ) is quite impatient and stands up. As he is about to ask henchie something, another henchie comes out and tells him to follow him inside. As he walks in, Lucía motions him to stay calm. Armente mocks him for being the sought-after chauffeur and suggests he should ask for a raise after that escape. When LCJ asks Lucía if she needs something, (Yeppers Chof, trot down to 7-11 and get me a Latte and a hand grenade) Armenta quickly points out that HE sent for him. He wants LCJ to record the conversation that he and Lucía are about to have…a historic event that is about to happen.

Amar a Muerte, 12/10/18, Episode 27: Q-Where oh Where is El Chino Valdes?

A-In two places at once. (Broma)

*Johny is on his way (presumably) to the office. He always seems to wear the same suit and tieless shirt (should be quite ripe by now, after 27 episodes). His fancy red car has been defiled by a nasty yellow note which reads, “How often do you think of me?” It freaks him out. What a way to start the day. To make matters worse, he can’t reach Lucia.

*Lucia and her chofer linger over their early morning kiss. It’s a lot like coffee, though. It wakes Luci up to realize what she’s been doing and sends LCJ away. She needs to be alone. Although he doesn’t believe her, he strides out, still breathless from the passion spent, or rather, unspent.

*At their breakfast nook, Mateo and Eva are pissed by the news in or not in the papers. Mateo’s article is missing and all Eva can see are the competing headlines featuring Luci. Eva is sure Luci’s not going to get away with it as she has no idea who she’s dealing with. And Mateo thinks Eva does? It sounds like she is defending those scalawags. No—Eva is only defending her family, the family business and Mateo.

Amar a Muerte, 12/7/18, Episode 26: There Are Kisses And There Are ...Kisses

Lucia is surprised to take a late night phone call from the head of the Armente Family.  He asks if she meant what she said on tv or was just posing for the Press.  He's willing to take her at her word for a sit-down.  Yes, it will be in a public place and he'll call her back with a couple of choices.  NO cops or media present or else!  He's a man of his word and she can trust him not to pull anything on her.  "--You wanted to talk and that's what we'll do." 

Across town, Carla counts her cash.

Lupita bemoans the fact that now they need to disappear and have no money to make the move.  Julieta says it's no use because those two men will follow them to the ends of the earth; no matter where they try to escape to, they'll find them.

Amar a Muerte, 12/5/2018, Episode 25: Coming Home Is So Special

Recap by Kirby J

So we left off with Loosey and Leon/Chino/Jacobo (LCJ) arriving home after their “release” (no one can imagine what kind of “release” they really had…but didn’t happen according to Loosey). Johny is interrogating Loosey about what happened between her and LCJ; so she comes back with, “Must I remind you that I was just kidnapped…that we were trying to escape? …What is wrong with you?” As he holds her head (as if wanting to force her real thoughts out of her head), JonEvil admits that she is right and thanks her because no one understands him the way she does…and no one respects him the way she does. Menacingly, he adds that no one knows him the way she does...and if she is lying to him, he’ll kill him. (LCJ)   He forces a kiss on her and hugs her, but Loosey wants to take a bath ( as she tries to push herself away)…she needs to take a bath because she is very cold ( and smelly?). As JonEvil releases her and leaves, Loosey looks back at him in horror.

Amar a Muerte, 12/4/2018, Episode 24: It Never Happened, OK? Fer Sure??


Lucía and Leon/Chino/Jacobo (LCJ) are still in the water enjoying their looong kiss (while the goons are probably closing in, but they don’t seem to care). As they continue their passionate kisses, she takes off his shirt; she slips off her dress…next to come off is her bra (as the water starts to steam). They break apart briefly, looking into each other’s eyes, then continue their fierce display of desire. LCJ stops and looks up, as does Lucía, as a flock of birds flies above. (LCJ relieved that they weren’t giant moths).

Amar a Muerte, 11/30/18, Episode 22: Risking It All And All A Part Of The Risk


Parte 1~~
Running through the jungle.....🎸(apologies to Creedence Clearwater Revival)


Montilla has found the cell phones left as a taunt but not the kidnapped Lucia and Jacobo, aka León, aka, Leonchin, aka Jacón, aka Jake.  He screams at the underling detective to get the dogs out to track them somewhere up the mountain.  Otherwise, if they don't find them and quick their reps have been risked --and lost.  They'll be the laughing stock of the whole of Mexico.

It's a smart idea, that, since the kidnappers are running somewhere...but it's to another couple of getaway cars. These miscreant thugs have been to this kind of rodeo a time or two.

Amar a Muerte, 11/29/2018, Episode 21: Games Goons Play OR Colombo Solves the Case of the Missing iPhones


Recap by Rgv Chick


At the goon shack, Leo/Chi/Jac (LCJ) is about to reveal himself to Lucia when Goon 1 enters with good news…they are in luck (Rats! there just had to be an interruption!). He talked to his boss and the boss thinks they should be more practical; they don’t need to hold both of them since it means more food to bring and more eyes to watch them. LCJ agrees and tells him they should keep him…it would be more practical. Goon 1 scoffs and tells LCJ that he knows he wants to be a superhero, but that role doesn’t fit him well because he is just a simple chauffeur who is worthless. When Goon 1 asks Lucia if LCJ is her chauffeur or her lover, she repeats that he is her chauffeur; so Goon 1 tells them that he is the one to go…they’re not going to let him go…they are going to kill him. As LCJ is taken away, Lucia cries.  Wait ! With good news like this, don’t tell me the BAD news then.

At the company, Mateo congratulates Palomarez for being so obedient and caving in…he’ll probably be the employee of the month. When Palomarez reminds Mateo that they are only employees, Mateo retorts that what he doesn’t forget is Gaston….who was murdered…and up to a few days ago attended parties with them. Palomarez snaps that when Mateo owns his own newspaper he can do whatever the heck he wants, in the meantime, they have orders to follow.  Mateo then tells Palomarez that he sent his article on Gaston to his email so that he can read it and publish it. Palomarez agrees…as long as Eva approves it.

Greetings and hallucinations! Due to the scheduling of this series I will not be likely to get more literary than this, so I hope it will be adequate. – Urban Ahthropologist

Luci-ho walked out of the competition's office gloating about how it didn't take much to put someone in his place.

Rosita introduced the shaman to Bel-chino. The shaman looked creeped out. He did not allow Rosita to follow the grownups inside. He seemed to understand the problem. He talked about how Death knows how it decides things. “I we don't understand it's because we need to really open our eyes.” He handed over the pipe. Bel-chino took a drag, then said he felt weird.

Johny calls and she asks what he wants. He wants to see her, but she is not in the mood..it is not a good time. He asks if something happened, ‘cause he is there to help her out .
