Amar a Muerte, 2/12/2019, Episode 69: Body and Soul Reunion
At Barb’s house, LCJ
(León/Chino/Jacobo) and Beltrino sit down for a chat as they stare at each
other. LCJ assimilates the idea that he is looking at the actual El Chino
Valdez. Beltrino declares that that is his face and body; he’s been looking for
him for quite some time. Since Beltrino saw him briefly at the hospital; he has
not been able to sleep peacefully. LCJ realizes that is why Beltrino saved him
from the narcos. Beltrino agrees; he wouldn’t want his body to leave filled
with bullets. When LCJ scoffs that Beltrino is the real one they should be
looking for, Beltrino tells him not to believe everything they say about him.
LCJ chides Beltrino; he has no idea of the problems he has had because of him.
Beltrino retorts that that was not his intention. LCJ then asks about the body
that El Chino is occupying; so Beltrino tells him about being a university
professor who has a family, even a dog…but a boring life; the professor died in
an accident. Beltrino can’t get accustomed to talking to his body, his face
that he grew up looking at every day; he grabs LCJ’s arm and demands that he
give him his body! (Oh, sure, here ya go, but only if I can have my body back
too!) After LCJ pulls his arm away, they both sit back to relax…NOT! Just then,
Death Chick makes a bell ring (Round 1?), but as Beltrino looks, he sees no
one. As they both sit up to take a good look, a black butterfly flies away…and
Death Chick smiles. (There's a girl like Death Chick in every class. What she
doesn't have in looks she makes up for in 'Fun Factor'.)

Amar a Muerte, 2/11/19, Episode 68: Beltran Finds His Body, But Someone Else is Using It.
Some nasty little gremlin
messed up my DVR—it didn’t record the episode, so I can’t go back and see what
I missed. I hope someone can help fill in the gaps or correct what I got wrong. Here goes—
* In the underground garage
of the hospital, Beltrino at the wheel, orders a very weakened LCJ (León/Chino/Jacobo/Jake)
into the car. LCJ hesitates momentarily. It could be someone who is still out to kill him.
He’s persuaded and just then gunfire erupts everywhere. They head for the exit.
Meanwhile Luci is still trying to get in to see Jacobo. Finally, the police roll into the garage. More
gunfire. El Alacrán and Gancho are in the midst of the shoot-out. Just as the
Patio is holding its collective breath for Beltie and Jake to get away a car
blocks them. SH*T, it’s Fabian, pointing a gun at Jake through the window. The next thing I know, he’s in the back seat
still pointing a gun at Jake. He makes Beltie give him his gun and there he
sits, a two-fisted gunslinger ordering them to take off. Beltie floors it.

Amar A Muerte, 2/8/19, Episode 67: If You Publish It, They Will Come
Parte 1~~
Beltran, aka Belchin', aka El Chino actualmente, has just seen the news bit about Jacobo Reyes, Heroe Del Momento--and co-transmigrante, León Carvajal--who is now recovering at Northway Hospital; he flies out of Javier's hospital room to seek the man who is wearing his body. Alicia and Jav are left eating his dust as usual.
At the same time, Johny Corona--everyone's crown of thorns in their backside--is otherwise occupied nosing around Susana's computer and trying to see if her latest composition is possibly on her screen which she's dutifully locked. The paper's editor walks up to see if he can be of assistance. With the ever-present contrived Corona constipational smile of obligation, Johny pretends to take Mr. Editor into his confidence. There's some suspected extortion and they--the police--need to check Susana's computer today. "--Keep her out of the office today while we check her computer. Don't let on to A.N.Y.B.O.D.Y."
Back on campus, Sergio tries talking to Lucho about Valentina's sad situation. Lucho is sick to death discussing Val and her idiosyncrasies any longer. Sergio tells him to get with it and with the times. He should feel some sympathy for her since her gay love life has turned tragic owing to the fact that Juliana is leaving the country with Mama shortly. (Yawn. FF>>FF>>)

Amar A Muerte, 2/7/2019, Episode 66: Smile, You're on Candid Camera!
Previously: Lupita was talking to Juls about
the man she saw at Vale’s house and telling Juls he was not her father. (Your
Father has gone back to his home planet, Juls)
At Silvina’s house,
Lupita continues to try to convince Juls that the man she saw at Vale’s house
is not her father. The man has her father’s body, but he’s not El Chino; his
name is Jacobo Reyes. When Juls asks how she knows, Lupita confides that LCJ
(León/Chino/Jacobo) told her when he went to drop off some things that Sra.
Silvina sent them when they first moved there. They were both surprised. Juls
doesn’t think that what Lupita is saying makes sense. Lupita agrees, but he
finally convinced her that he wasn’t El Chino. Juls asks who he is if he isn’t
El Chino. Lupita responds that all she knows is that his name is Jacobo Reyes.
He treated her well and she wants to keep her promise that she won’t reveal
that he isn’t El Chino. Juls reminds Lupita that El Chino is a sicario; he can
make up whatever story to get into that house and do whatever they asked him to
do. When Juls insists that he is lying, Lupita pleads with her not to tell Vale
that her chauffeur lives in El Chino’s body. Juls definitely won’t tell
Vale…because Vale will think she is crazy.

Amar a Muerte, 2/6/2019, Episode 65: Fools Rush in Where Dead Men Fear to Tread
León/Chino
walks slowly by the wall at the tennis courts with his gun drawn.
When he comes to a corner, he hears one of the goons talking over a
walkie-talkie, since the goon has his back to him, LCJ sneaks up to
him and smacks him with his gun knocking the goon out cold.
Inside
the house, Armenta goes to Vale and demands to know who called her.
Vale cries as she replies that it was just a friend. When Armenta
asks about her siblings, Vale tells him she doesn’t know where they
are and Lucía adds that they don’t live there…so they won’t be
coming. Chulo thinks the women are trying to pull one over on them
and are making them waste a lot of time; the cops are sure to be
arriving soon. Another goon approaches with all that he has found in
the house, so Servando tells him to lay it on the table and tells
Chulo to relax because the party is just starting. Servando shouts
out for more tequila. Oh Armie, you saw that one too where they
poured tequila on bullet holes?
At
Silvina’s house. Lupita sees that Juls is upset and asks what is
going on, but Juls just runs off and tells her she will be back soon.
Outside
the Carvajal house, LCJ lurks as he finds Tiberio crouched and
hiding. Tiberio pleads with LCJ not to kill him, so LCJ assures him
that he came to help them. LCJ then asks what is going on inside and
how many men there are. Tiberio replies that that he doesn’t know
what’s going on, but there are 4-5 men inside and there are more
outside. After LCJ takes his key to the service entrance, Tiberio
tells him to be careful and hides again.
In
San Antonio, Mariela wonders how much longer Fabián will continue
with his obsession over El Chino…the man didn’t just kill his
father, El Chino is also ruining his life. Fabián feels bad because
he knows he could have done something in Mexico, but she pressured
him until he came back. Mariela points out that the man escaped and
there is nothing Fabián can do; he should think of his son. Fabián
is definitely thinking of his son, what will his son think of him
when he grows up and finds out that his father did nothing to catch
his grandfather’s murderer. Mariela insists that is what happened
and there is nothing he can do. Fabián, however, is determined to
return to Mexico.

Since
I've been a little under the weather, this is a little late. At least
this was a Johny-free episode.
Jacobo
and Camilo had a heated discussion in which Cam tried to tell Jake
that he should tell Lucia the truth. He said he couldn't because it
was so unbelievable and besides it would blow his entire plan. He
would lose everything, including his children. Camilo suggested he
rest on it, but he replied he couldn't. He needed to talk to Lupita.

Amar a Muerte, 1/31/2019, Episode 62: Misinterpretations and Complications
Vale arrives at the
university and confronts Lucho; she hopes he’s happy that everyone is making
fun of her. Lucho retorts that she converted herself into a lesbian; he warns
her to take her crap elsewhere and not to even dare show up to any of their
parties or events with Juls…Vale shouldn’t go at all. (And especially don't mention that she was
tired of trying to help him solve his 'problem'. Tee Hee.)
At Silvina’s house,
Lupita again asks Juls what’s wrong; she seems even more down than the night
before. When she insists, Juls tells her to stop…she just doesn’t want to talk.
Lupita finally guesses right that Juls had a fight with Vale. Lupita thinks
that Vale is beautiful and nice, but she pertains to a different world…they are
like water and oil. Juls gets upset and asks, “Who asked for your opinion?”
Juls doesn’t get into her business with Pancho; and she doesn’t make comments
because Lupita takes advantage of him since he’s got a thing for her. Lupita
denies it, but Juls insists that Lupita calls him whenever she wants something.
Lupita scolds Juls and tells her not to be rude; so Juls snaps at her not to
get into her business. (Mom, do think
maybe any of this mess might be your fault?)

Guille
arrives at Renata’s place with luggage in tow. When he asks if he
can stay there because he had a fight with Eva, Renata says, “Of
course” and asks if it was serious. Guille responds that he has
decided to cut all economic ties with his family and start from ZERO.
He asks for Renata’s opinion, so she tells him that is very
serious. Guille doesn’t think so since he had been considering it
for quite some time. When he tells her that he did consider going to
a hotel (you left out that you burned your credit cards, Guille),
Renata tells him she’d kill him if he did that. Guille smiles and
adds that she has no idea how happy he is to sleep with her again.
Believe me Guille, I … understand … completely...
In
her bedroom, Lucía sits by herself drinking. Silvina comes in with
the chills pills she had asked for and warns her against mixing the

Alt Title: When Johny Comes Stomping In...and Boo-Hoos
Lucho goes crying to Eva
that Vale has been acting strange lately and she broke up with him for no
reason. He suspected she was cheating on him, but never suspected it would be
with a woman. As Eva shakes her head in disbelief, Lucho continues that he has
never liked Juliana…she took advantage of Vale when she was the most depressed
because of her father’s death. After he guarantees that Vale is no lesbian,
Lucho tells Eva that she’d better get Vale away from Juls because if it ever
gets out, the sh*t will hit the fan. He continues to rant, but Eva stops him
and tells him she will take care of it and talk to Vale…she is used to cleaning
up after her family’s messes. Yeah given the barnyard which is your secret life,
sister. Eva thanks Lucho for telling her and is sure it won’t get any further;
Lucho definitely doesn’t want to tell anyone else. Lucho, good work, your next
assignment if you choose to take it...This is a picture of one Alacrán.....Mission

Amar a Muerte, 1/28/19, Episode 59: The Birds are Coming Home to Roost
Some scenes have been combined.
* Lucho watches Vale and Juls
in a loving embrace which is leading to more intimacy. His buddy Sergio gets an
eyeful, too. Vale stops when she hears the doorbell. Thinking it’s Alirio, she
opens it up to a raging Lucho. He pushes his way in and gets physically aggressive.
Sergio stops him from doing something stupid. Lucho swears to Vale this isn’t
going to stay like this. Juls comforts Vale after he leaves. Lucho returns to
the car. He’s so angry he’s crying onto the hood of his car. Sergio adds to his
state of mind by musing over the reaction of the kids at the university when it
gets around. Lucho grabs him. Sergio is not to say a single word to anyone
about this. Vale tells Juls Lucho has always been violent and she’s sorry she’s
dragged Juls into this situation.
* Luci has seen the zoo of
origami birds (and probably dragons and dinosaurs) in her room and starts yelling for
Silvina. She’s in a panic. LCJ/Jake watches quietly downstairs surreptitiously
out of sight. Silvina walks into the bird zoo. Only León did them. Luci wants
to know who got in her room. Since Eva moved in, she’s kept the room locked. Poor
Silvina. She realizes she’s in the frying pan since she’s the only one with a
set of keys. (But what about Fab?) Luci
is convinced someone is gaslighting her. Silvina thinks it might be León’s
spirit trying to tell her something. She thinks that’s idiotic. These things
are real.

- Jacobo, aka León Carvajal, has given Luscious Lucia an ultimatum: --You have forty-eight hours and either you accept my proposal and we get married or it will be obvious to me that your answer is 'No, you're not Johny Corona.' " --Initially, some five to ten minutes earlier, Jacobo's proposal of marriage had left Lucia speechless. Her mind was whirring. She was apparently dumbfounded. Jake was almost, dare I say, frantic in his appeal. "--Look at me! Am I not the most important thing in your life?" "--Yes! You are my reality!" She told him she simply could not. "--Is it money then? You have money. So just pick up and go!" "--Of course not! It's more complex than that! There's too much at stake right now. I cannot just leave my life as if it were nothing!"

Another Alt Title: The DoorMAT Stings the Scorpion Queen...and He Doesn't Even Know It!
Previously:
Beltrino was on his way back to the hospital where he left Valerio’s daughter.
Beltrino arrives at the
hospital and asks for the woman he brought in. When he goes to her room, V’s
daughter is conscious and stable; so Beltrino approaches. She tries to call for
help, but Beltrino tells her not to yell out and tells her to listen up so it
can be clear…”I didn’t kill your father; he died performing a strange ritual.
You are here because of your own doing; you wanted to take the gun and it went
off. It was an accident of the most dangerous kind; you could have left you
child. This is what we’re going to do. (He hands her an envelope of money).
This is for you; it’s enough to pay for your treatment and your son’s
education. And you also won’t look for me again and you don’t know anything about me. Be very grateful
that in this life, I have a good attitude because, if not, you wouldn’t be looking
at me.”
In her bedroom, Vale
talks to Juls on the phone. She is panicking because there have been so many
murders close to her family. Juls assures her that nothing will happen since
there is so much security at her house. When Vale tells Juls about Lucho making
a scene and accusing her of having something with the chauffeur, Juls laughs
and wonders how Lucho could have thought that. After Vale explains about
hugging LCJ, she comments that ever since her father died, she hasn’t been able
to breathe. Juls tries to comfort Vale and tells her that she wishes she could
be with her, but she can’t leave her mother alone. Just then, Juls hears the
doorbell and has to end the call.

LCJ
is in the security office making a call when Fabricio comes in having
been looking for him and reprimands him for not responding. When LCJ
quips that that isn’t his problem, Fab counters that anything LCJ
does in that house IS his problem. LCJ is not phased and walks away,
so Fab tells LCJ that he is going to be watching him, but LCJ retorts
that he already knows that Fab is watching him.
Hec-Maru
returns to his house and plops down beside Maru’s mother. When the
mother asks if he did something crazy, Hec-Maru admits that he was
set on telling Cecilia that she couldn’t marry that man because
Hector is not dead. He wanted to beat up the man, but he couldn’t.
Hec-Maru saw how happy they were…maybe they’re better off without
him. I thought I heard a bell tingle. No, wait, that was Death Chick
writing on her dry erase board. When Hec-Maru tries to get up to go
wash his bloody blouse, the mom stops him and tells him that his
blouse is clean. Hec-Maru feels his back, then manages a smile as he

Previously: LCJ and Lucía arrive
to find everyone outside looking mortified. LCJ approaches the vehicle and sees
Daniel in the driver’s seat covered in blood. As Lucía approaches, LCJ tries to
stop her, but she pushes forward and sees Daniel. Lucía steps back in shock
almost collapsing as she leans against the vehicle after reading the message
“Ungrateful” left on the windshield.
Lucía is distraught and
tells Montilla he has to do something; the man had a family and children.
Montilla wants to make it clear so she can understand…organized crime has many
more resources and is much more organized than they (the cops) are; and that is
why they sent her that message. When Lucía states that she thought she could
keep Armenta in line, Montilla wonders how she could think that when not even
the previous governments have been able to accomplish it. Lucía cries in
anguish as she watches Johny arrive. No,
not on a white horse, though now it smells like one was here.

After sending Val to get whatever they came to the house for, she advises Juls not to allow angelic Val to get physically hurt because of hanging around with Juls who is constantly enveloped in a cloud of menacing chaos. Juls thinks about it and rolls her eyes.

Alt Title: That's My Body and I'll Take It If I Want It
Beltrino gasps as he thinks about seeing his body. He
watches Mugres going up the hospital stairs and starts to go after him with his
weapon drawn. When Mugres reaches the top of the stairs and is seen, people
start screaming and the undercover nurse and another cop yell at him. As LCJ
turns around and makes a run for it, shots are fired, Beltrino makes a quick
u-turn down the stairs, and Carmelo goes down. Mugres grabs a nurse as hostage
and retreats as he tells the undercover nurse to not move. Once Mugres makes a
run for it, the nurse chases after him while LCJ hides behind the nurse’s
station and Beltrino is at the bottom of the stairwell waiting for things to settle
down upstairs.
Outside, the cops arrive
and are told to cover all the exits. Mugres has released the nurse and runs
down the outside stairs while flinging around his weapon. As the undercover
nurse talks to the head cop and tells him that García was shot, Lupita is
panicking and Juls tells Vale to lock the door. Vale goes to close the door,
but LCJ grabs and pulls her out to take her away from the hospital. Meanwhile,
Beltrino goes to look behind the nurse’s station in search of his former body.
He finds nothing and looks around. Out on the stairs, Vale is yelling at LCJ
that she needs to stay with Juls, but LCJ yells back that he is not going to
let anything happen to her and that they are leaving NOW! Inside, Beltrino
walks frantically in search of his body as Alicia calls him about the shots
fired; so he tells her to lock herself in the room. Outside, Vale is trying to
get away from LCJ because she wants to go back with Juls until he grabs her
head with both hands and tells her that no one will harm her. Mugres is still
running through stairs and halls trying to get away from the cops who are now
everywhere; they finally manage to surround him at some stairs. After he has a
hissy fit and drops his weapon, the cops cuff and arrest him.
