La Candidata 7.10.17 Chapter 25: Regina Puts Gerardo Against Her
Mario warns Isela to be quiet and patient as he takes care of the problem. He hangs up on her and goes into the living room to call Almiron. He looks around to make sure no one is listening and then tells Almiron that he needs his help ASAP to rescue his daughter. Noemi walks in and listens to the tail end of the conversation before asking Mario which daughter he is referring to and who he was speaking with. Mario closes his eyes and sighs.
Ignacio explains to Gerardo that he was able to spare Nayeli jail time in exchange for him burying the story about Cecelia’s connection to prostitution and the cabaret. Gerardo reiterates that he did kill the story but Ignacio shows him the news report from the morning paper. Gerardo assumes it was Rodrigo’s friend, the reporter, who did so without his knowledge but he wants to know what this has to do with Nayeli. Ignacio reminds him that favors need to be paid but Gerardo thinks this is just blackmail, pure and simple, and they should go to the police. Ignacio tells him that Nayeli will end of in prison if they do before going back inside his house.

La Candidata Capitulo 24; Thursday, July 6, 2017: Regina Confronts Cecelia
Ignacio and his daughter Nayeli come out of the police
station and she’s in tears trying to explain herself and apologize. She says
that the drugs were just for fun and entertainment, she really isn’t a drug
addict. “I just don’t know who you are anymore”, says Ignacio. How long have
you been into this? What kind of entertainment is this anyway?” “Oh Daddy, I’m
so scared!” Iggy says, “Help me out here because I no longer know what to do
with you.” He hugs her.
At the political event, Larreta is introducing Alonso,
but Regina isn’t there yet. She is on her way, but is keeping everyone in
suspense. Obviously, she doesn’t really want to be there. Shortly after Alonso
takes the podium, Emiliano motions to his father that his mother is there. He escorts
her in as Alonso announces her to the audience and she presents herself as the
first lady to be. Gerardo is watching on TV and is very upset and throws down
his remote. His secretary leaves the room after offering to do something to
help. He storms out as well. Alonso goes on at the event thanking his family
and talking about how he plans to fight corruption and violence in Mexico. (Yeah buddy, you are
part of the problem!) The audience applauds…

La Candidata, Wednesday 7/5/17 Capitulo 23: Teresa goes bonkers (or as I like to call it Regina Gets hit by a Triple Whammy!)
Regina and Gerardo continue to
kiss, they give in to their passion, but Regina’s brain is racing a mile a
minute and she stops and says this is bad.
“Sorry Gerardo, this
is bad”
“This is good”
says Gerardo
“This is what we
both feel; this is the strongest thing we have ever felt”
“No, the consequences,
did they see us?”
“I don’t care if
they did, only you matter and my daughter matter”
Regina begins to explain that she
can’t do this and uses Emiliano as an excuse. He needs her and she can’t do
this.
“Also think
about the war with Alonso, about the people in the senate, the people that need
us”
“Those are just
excuses”

La Doble Vida de Estela Carillo, #42, Jul 5, 2017: Desperate Measures…Drastic Results
Here is the recap, courtesy of RGVChick:
Scenes combined for continuity
TomAss Grovels
(Mexican version only: As he retracts his fangs and horns, TomAss enters LetMe’s hospital room and slithers toward her bed. Seeing him, LetMe cringes and, as she turns away from him, begs TomAss to please not touch her because his touches become strikes ....) TomAss pleads with her to forgive him and that everything will be alright; she just needs time to think (really, mister? how can she think after you jolted her brain??).

La Candidata Martes, 7/4/17 Chapter 22: Regina Give In
Too
often in our modern lives where appearances are everything one often
loses sight of one's true feelings. Most shrinks will tell you that
this is why they get rich.
- D.D.
Chapter
Twenty-Two: Regina Gives In
Alonso
tried to tell Regina that he was the man who loved her and supported
her, but she told him that for some time their relationship has not
worked.
“All
the trouble, all the pain has been your fault,” he said.
“No;
that isn't true.”
“Is
this divorce about me or for Gerardo Martínez? That imbecile is all
over us, near my house, in my face at all hours. He's responsible
for you forgetting your values, your principles,” he said, shaking
his index finger like a scolding parent.

La Doble Vida de Estela Carrillo, #41, Tues Jul 4 2017: Uh-Oh, We're In Trouble
Laura asks Paloma to look into her eyes. Paloma can't see any evil there. They hug.
Laura tells Paloma that the lies were a trap to catch her, like the story where they try to trap the prince(ss). Laura cannot leave without Paloma. Paloma asks if a prince will rescue them. Laura says the princesses will need to unite and liberate themselves from the bad guy with the sunglasses. It's a deal, and they rub noses.
Leticia gives Ryan the envelope with the money. She begs him not to send Tomas to jail. Ryan is grateful. Leticia is confused. Ryan takes the envelope and shows it to Joe. They surmise that the money is Danilo's, and Tom must have found it in the warehouse where he works.
On the phone, Danilo tells Horacio that he didn't ask Marcelino for help with their thief. Dani will have to take care of it himself. Horacio reports that he was on his way to Tomas's, but his car broke down. And Ryan followed him. Dani is worried that Ryan will beat them to the money. He scolds Horacio for telling Asdrubal about the money in front of Ryan. Danilo orders Horacio to have Natividad pick up the money at Furia and take it to Morgana's show. There's a cruddy warehouse there where no one will snoop around.
Horacio asks what to do with Tomas, but Danilo has already hung up.

La Candidata 7.3.17 Chapter 21: Gerardo Will Do Anything For Regina
• Almiron orders El Cuervo to drop the gun but he refuses. He now knows that it was all a trap but Almiron warns him to cooperate or he will kill him and the rest of the police will declare that it was in self-defense. Cuervo obliges and Almiron chides him for killing a reporter, which is a serious offense in Mexico. He then orders his men to grab him and put him in the car.
• Emiliano, drugged out of his mind, tries to make out with Ximena but she pushes him away and goes to leave. Nayeli asks her not to, as things are about to heat up, but Ximena warns her that she could go to jail if something happens to Emiliano thanks to all the drugs she’s given him. She then storms out as Nayeli laughs.
• On the car ride back to the Senate, Daniela warns Regina that something is not adding up regarding Mario’s clandestine witness protection program. Regina tells her that it could be something so secret she doesn’t know about but promises to find out more. Daniela then receives a call from someone and answers immediately.

OR: Alonso Suddenly Becomes Befuddled When Trying to Define "wife beater" OR: Magda--the Monkey in the Middle-- Reveals Herself to Be the Snake in the Grass She Is
Action at the Government offices--
Cecilia questions Lorena her about her politics, studies and preparation so she can use the info to start introducing her to the public via the press. Lorena throws a wrench in the works: she is not sure she will be accepting the position. Lorena is surprised to find out that Cecilia knew that Larreta was not in favor of her taking the position and that the info had come via the Gov. Cecilia knows that Lorena and Larreta are lovers. Lorena rightly concludes that the reason for her being offered the position was just a ploy from the Gov to get to Larreta. Cecilia then launches into a pep talk telling Lorena it does not matter why she was offered the position but that she should take it for herself; consider it a reward because she has earned it. Who knows about Larreta? He could trade her in for a newer model any day. She should not turn the position down and then later be sorry for her decision. Later, Lorena gives Larreta the bad news that she is going to do something for herself. She will be accepting the Gov's offer. She does not care how this affects him. By the way, she would do anything to get that job.

Regina arrives at the office with her ear still
reverberating with Alonso’s insinuations that Gerardo, promising to support her
law is just using it to separate the two of them. She gets an update from
Daniela on the resignation of De La Garza and Gerardo’s statements in the
press. Daniela is worried that it might affect her image. Regina says there
will always be scandals. What she really wants to know is if they can trust her
friend (Andrés) on the police force. Daniela says they can. Regina will call
Sra. Galindo and Dani can call her pal.

Omar shows up at the governor’s office. He tells Magda she
must never speak of what happened the night before to Alonso or to anyone else
OR else…He’ll take care Natalia never says anything and Magda must make sure
Dr. Contreras never says anything either. Magda says to his face that she can’t
believe he attacked his wife so savagely—he could have killed her. Omar muses
that she might find herself in the same situation.
Alonso opens the door from his office to reveal the lovely décolleté
Lorena, her interview over and a cabinet position in her purse. She’s glowing
with pride. Magda shows her out and Omar goes in to talk to his son. He tells
Alonso he thinks Magda is too old to continue in her job. He repeats this
several times, to Alonso’s skepticism, remembering his mother yesterday,
wondering why that museum piece, Magda was still in his employ.

La Doble Vida de Estela Carrillo, #39, Thurs Jun 29 2017: It's Worse
The guys at the restaurant who wouldn't talk to Emerson are more forthcoming with Ryan and Steve. Emerson is understandably disgruntled, but now they know that La Regia has been going around with Mr Green, who is running for mayor. They rush off to her next event.
Laura sings a song about the brave Latinos who leave their home and loved ones to look for something better. "We are all verses of a single song." She tries to follow up with a motivational speech, but Blake has Luisa cut the mic. Luisa tells the crowd there's a technical problem, then leads Regia off the stage by the elbow. The crowd is chanting "La Regia! La Regia!"
Steve, Emerson, and Ryan have a hard time getting near the venue because of the protesters picketing outside. They ditch the car and proceed on foot, but while cutting through an alley they run into someone that one of them previously had a rumble with, but I'm not sure who or when. Maybe it's the guy who harassed Genesis at the bar? He has his friends with him this time, so they brawl. It is very violent. Ryan fights like a Power Ranger, but the bad guy corners him and pulls a knife.
But then some angry Latinos show up and chase the "Yankees" away. The angry Latinos were on their way to demonstrate at Green's campaign event. Ryan's ready to go with them. Oh no! Emerson's been stabbed. But he still wants to go rescue Estela. Ryan must really be wound up, because he doesn't even think to argue with him. (And Steve is mad because he used his belt to fight one of the bad guys, and the bad guy took off with Steve's belt.)

La Doble Vida de Estela Carrillo, #38, Weds Jun 28 2017: Sold Out
Blake tells Laura that Paloma is the best way to hurt her. He calls for Luisa. Laura knocks him down. Luisa pulls hm out of there, and he says that Laura and Paloma will pay.
Mercy (still wearing that hat indoors) disapproves of Ryan being out of the hospital and trying to help Estela. He asks Mercy to call the lawyers who worked on his case (for killing Pedro Carrillo) to track down Rosario's sister.
Mercy is worried that Ryan is too weak to fight the bad guys. Ryan says that Steve and "someone else" is helping him.
Ryan's "someone else" is Danilo, but Danilo is reluctant to help - until Ryan says that they've got Paloma too. Then Danilo is on board with going to El Dorado - except that he has to pretend that Ryan is forcing him.
Laura tries all the usual ways to get out of the room. In the bathroom, she pries a towel bar loose, but Luisa is waiting for her. Their battle is extremely brief. Laura loses. Luisa calls "Johnson" for some "medicine." (Perhaps she means Johnson & Johnson. Hah! I kill me.) Luisa expresses a desire to [bleep] Laura's pretty face. She gives Laura a shot, and Laura goes to sleep.

La Doble Vida de Estela Carrillo, #37, Tues Jun 27 2017: The Butterfly Effect
Danilo's Russian Roulette game is a dud. Natividad urges him to call it a night.
Blake meets with Senator Wolverine, er, Senator Logan, who assures him that the Justice Department will leave Furia alone in exchange for El Dorado's generous campaign contribution. Logan suggests that Blake leverage his entrepreneurial success into a run for Mayor. His blindness will work in his favor, and he'll improve the party's image. (I hate to ask which party this is.) Logan thinks that if Blake becomes Mayor, he can get Logan closer to the Governor and important people all over the US. (Sounds like Logan is a state senator, not a US senator, but he should still already have access to the guv'na.) Blake agrees to go for it. Logan says he will have to figure out how to win the Latino vote. (These two guys realize they're speaking Spanish, right?)
Joe meets with Chavalin in jail. Sounds like the police have found evidence against Chava, which will complicate his defense. Joe assures Chava that Estela asks about him every day. (She must be doing that during commercial breaks.) Chava says Estela has never visited him in jail.
Paloma, Rosario, and Paloma prepare to move out of the ranch. Danilo objects, mostly out of concern for Paloma. He offers to move out instead. She can have the ranch as payment for being La Regia. (Paloma asks if Ryan will be moving in. No, but she can ride the horse someday.)
On the phone, Blake tells BunMan that the charges against Furia will disappear. In return, Blake has a request that takes BunMan by surprise.

La Candidata Martes, 6/27/17 Chapter 18: Alonso's Attempt to Win Regina Back
Politics
does make strange bedfellows and a lot of dangerous liasons.
- D.D.
Chapter
Eighteen: Alonso's Attempt to Win Regina Back
Alonso
marched into his office, complaining that he was alone. Magda
followed him, telling him he was not.
“You
have Cecelia. She's loyal. She's efficient. She plays on your
side.”
Alonso
looked up, but Natalia's arrival stopped him saying anything had he
been inclined.
“Good
afternoon,” she said.
Magda
gave her a cold look and got a dismissive one in return.
“Leave
us,” Natalia whispered. Magda obeyed.
“Hello,
Mother,” said Alonso as Magda left the office and closed the door.
“Yes,
your mother is now becoming a museum piece.”
“Don't
talk trash about Father, please.”
“Don't
tell me you're going to defend your father's actions against my
lover.”
“Ex-lover.
It's better we don't talk about that, isn't it?”
“You're
right,” she said, not agreeing but not wanting more conflict than
necessary. “Totally. I'm condemned by your father. That man
wants to think he's the exemplary husband but in reality.... I don't
want to talk about this. As soon as you've made your bid for the
Presidency I will separate from your father.”

Parte 1~
• El Presidente Electo de Sinesterra folds like a wet dollar bill at the thought of being extradited to the U.S. He’ll turn state’s evidence and cooperate—just noooooo don’t send me to the big bad north!!!!!
• DEADave now gives Yolanda the 411 on Estela’s stellar sacrifice: “—she gave her life for me? (Sob) And yes, I have a lot to pardon her for but, I will.” Yoli also has a few questions for Dave. “What will happen between you and me when the rest of us are hiding in the U.S.?” Dave takes a convenient call on his cell. Sinesterra gave the hideout location (?) for John and says there’s a meeting of the cupola tomorrow in Tres Fuegos. He sent a text with the time and directions and got it confirmed. I didn’t catch the rest except it’s under strict confidentiality and the Feds will be waiting to extradite maybe the others to the U.S. (?)

La Candidata Capítulo 17; Monday, June 26, 2017: Regina Rejects Gerardo’s Love
At the hospital, Regina continues to grill her father
Mario about his involvement with this healthcare scandal. He tries to pin it on
Omar and says, “It’s just business.” Then she asks him about Cecelia. “Who is
Cecelia, really Dad?” His machines start going faster and Mario starts getting
more uncomfortable. The doctor comes in to scold Regina and ask her to leave
because Mario is prohibited from having visitors because he is much too weak to
handle any kind of stress. Reluctantly, she leaves his room.

La Doble Vida de Estela Carrillo, #36, Monday Jun 26 2017: A Pocketful of Ryan
Estela thinks she and Ryan need to break up in order to survive, and tells him not to make it even more difficult. He tries to get out of his hospital bed, but she begs him not to and says she loves him.
La Toña is still at Blake's place. She's tied up and wearing a gag, but Blake tells her he knows she's the one who tried to have Laura whacked. He understands why, but he reserves to right to be the one who gets revenge. He promises that he'll make Laura suffer until she begs for death. (He strokes Toña's hair creepily throughout this speech.) Unfortunately, Toña will have to wait here until he's done.
Luisa interrupts to tell Blake that La Regia is going to be on live TV. This is their chance to find Laura! They hurry out of the room where Toña is being kept. Toña struggles against the ropes binding her hands behind the chair.

La Piloto #79 6-23-17: Estela La Bella Gives All; Col. Humpty Dumpty And El Presidente Presumpty, Have Their Great Fall; And Zulima Gets Away After All
Kirby had some excellent pointers I'd thought Anita had put up also which I wanted to at least give credit for but I didn't see them to add in or to credit for Thursday, 6/21... --ed.
Parte 1~~
• Yolanda’s hiding under a bed in someone’s cell in the cell block where the lights have gone off. Meanwhile crooked guard gal is telling the inmates they’ve experienced a power failure in some areas of the prison and must stay in the main area till things are sorted out.
• Col. Santa Maria isn’t quite sure where she’s hiding but is certain she’s there and he’ll find her. “—You have to admit I’ve shown plenty of patience with you. (Maybe his twin in another parallel universe, but not after that branding iron trick of his.) If you’d only behaved the way you should have we could have been the perfect couple and gone off to Venezuela together.”

La doble vida de Estela Carillo, #35 Friday, 6/23/17 Everybody wants a piece of Estela Carillo
Estela reads the note that Ryan got from El Dorado: they want his Furia shares and for him to break up with Estela
Ryan says he will NEVER leave Laura. She is forced to acknowledge that thanks to ED he is alive. But why would ED want to stand between the two of them? Wanting access to Furia is one thing, but why are they targeted as a couple? Ryan thinks that his brother might be involved, but Laura doubts it. Nevertheless, Ryan thinks that she should stay away from him.
Laura is thinking about talking directly with ED. Ryan thinks this is a situation that men should handle (huh?), but she is sure that women are strong, too. After all, the person who tried to kill her and hurt him was a woman, La Tona. Ryan asks for the truth once again. So Laura tells him how she used to work for La Tona as a prostitute. She believed Fausto's lies, but he just left her in La Tona's hands. The first few months Osiel used to beat her every day, but after a while she managed to convince them that she was Ok with her situation, even if she was broken inside. She remembers how at one point she wanted to call her aunt but La Tona told her that the old lady was dead. When Laura cried she was just handed over to some random guy.
Ryan is crying as Laura is talking. She tried to tell him once, at the restaurant. He is sorry she had to talk about the past, and he thinks Fausto is Paloma's dad. She denies it and wants to go. He asks her to come back, kisses her hand and says how sorry he feels for everything. She quiets him with a kiss.

La Candidata Capitulo 16; Thursday, June 22, 2017: Pacheco Investigates Cecelia
At the Martinez home, while Emiliano and Ximena are
making out on the sofa, the nurse comes running in to tell Ximena that her
mother is out of control. Emiliano decides this is a good time to leave.
Gerardo and Regina are sharing a tender moment together
and they move in for the kiss---which does not happen because Regina moves away
and says she can’t do this. Gerardo says, “Don’t you want me to kiss you?”
Regina says, “Yes I do, but the problem is, I can’t do it this way. I need to
resolve the problems in my own life.”
Gerardo’s phone ring. It’s Ximena calling to tell him it’s
an emergency with her mother. She’s going crazy, asking for Gerardo, and the
nurse can’t seem to get her under control. She asks her dad to come home right
away and he agrees. Ximena and Teresa hug and Teresa starts to calm down.

La Doble Vida de Estela Carrillo #34, 6-22-17, Ryan loses a round in the Cartel Tournament of Roses; Calao is out, QEPD
Anita,
here, substituting for Alfredo, so he can enjoy his vacation away from the
confusing life of Doble Agent Estela—oops, sorry, not a spy thriller. Actually, it should be called the Triple Life
of Estela Carrillo or even the Quadruple Life of Estela Carrillo, most of which
we know nothing about and are learning nothing much. Laura Oviedo is another
case in point. She is also a mystery woman--with a child. A mystery so great
there are people out there trying to kill her. So she hides with the new
personna (with papers) of Estela Carrillo. This identity is beginning to
unravel and though she takes the stage name of La Regia, no one is fooled by that
little twist. In fact she’s in further danger since she, her voice, the
gossip and scandal surrounding her are
now front and center.
Part 1 of 3…Some scenes combined for the sake of continuity.
Assassination Attempt
A laser is trained on the middle of Ryan’s forehead as he starts his car in the Furia parking garage. Either the laser, the shooter or his van are off target and Ryan ends up shot in his abdomen (Miracle #1). The van takes off and Ryan falls out of his car. Security comes running calling for an ambulance, stat. (Miracle #2).
The Abused Covers for the Abuser with the Magic Word “Baby”
Tad, Maria and Lett’s duffle bags are packed and on the floor in the middle of Tom’s spacious living room floor. Apparently Tad has persuaded his mother to flee the house of her now escalating abusive husband (in name only, except for one time, cause she’s pregnant). Tom returns and demands to know what is going on. Lett tells him they are leaving him.

La Piloto #77 6-21-17: Yolanda was--is--still--in Peril
Dear Alfredo--Hope you are having a wonderful time. Wish you were here, instead of me.
Although I watched the episode last night, there's not much I can remember without a re-run (which I might do later).
I remember Yolanda being reunited with the baby--she gave him Arley's name (I think).
I remember John showing Sonia some horses and her getting a phone call from Sinesterra. She urges peace among all the rival factions.
I remember seeing a lot of mothers with babies all about the same age. Is it something in the water?
I remember Yolanda not having maternal instincts and the warden noticing she didn't know how to burp a baby.
I remember DEADave not being successful in getting immunity or some kind of protection for Yoli and the gang and not wanting to tell Yoli, but decides to go visit.
I remember Yolanda holding baby Arley and having some flashbacks.

snarky remark about how she called Gerardo instead of him. He then addresses

Now in Alonso’s car, Regina is pleading to Alonso to take
Emi to the hospital since they don’t know what type of drugs he consumed. Like
always Alonso dismisses Regina’s concerns says that Emi is fine and “just look
at him he is sleeping like a baby and is clueless as to the turmoil he has
caused”. They continue to argue about what is best for Emi, Regina wants to

La Doble Vida de Estela Carrillo, #33, Weds Jun 21 2017: The Fast and the Furias
Danilo taunts Ryan, "Now you've lost two Estelas." Danilo and Laura do a press conference. Dani shows off Laura's ring and says blah blah blah. Laura looks like she has a bug in her mouth, but if she opens her mouth a bomb will go off.
Steve tries to apologize to Genesis, but she says it's too late now - it's been a month. So now we know her statute of limitations.
Another Furia artist named Ausencio Granados grouses to Morgana that the press is more interested in gossip than in music. Morgana brags.
Milton comes along and has plenty of questions. Morgana is eager to answer, but the questions are for Ausencio. Oh holy crap, her boobs are almost up to her chin. I mean... I get that she's trying to maximize, but there is a limit. She warms up her voice hilariously.
Milton asks Ausencio some pointed questions about his narcos corridos (gangster ballads). Ausencio is evasive. He says sure he knows some Salgados, but they're not THE Salgados, they're just some guys from Guadalajara. He says he's got a bone to pick with La Regia for challenging him about his songs. This inspires Ryan with a great idea to end all of this forever. (Great! So, like, just five more episodes left, correct??)
So La Regia faces off with Ausencio in front of cameras, and they have a debate about the ethics of glorifying narcos, the false virtue of machismo, etc. Eventually Ausencio says something obnoxious that I don't catch, but it's something in the general category of "do you talk that way to your husband," and La Regia slaps him. (Just a regular slap, not a bitch slap. Unfortunately.) Danilo revels in the press's attention.
Tadeo invites Valdo to the house. Tom went to San Bernardino to see about a job and will probably come home drunk. No one else is home. Tadeo says he and Maria got accepted by a school and will start in a few days. Tadeo is nervous around Valdo.

La Piloto #76 6-20-17: Yolanda is--was--is--in Peril
Our dear Alfredo is on vacation and has left a big hole in coverage for the next two weeks. Most of the days will have to be filled in by viewers. Anita will be back after she sees the episode. She did not like the previews from Monday night and decided not to watch last night (thank goodness).
Highlights--
Yolanda meets S&M on a lonely country road. The nurse and "Santiago baby" are in the back seat.
Mama Estela and Arley are hot on the trail.
S&M makes her drive to the latest Lucio hideout (which we now know is an abandoned school--huh?) He tells Zuli to watch the nurse and the baby until he decides what to do with them.
He hangs her up and fires up a brazier. He takes off his coat and gets busy. He looks hungry, maybe it's a barbecue.
Arley goes in and makes Estela stay put. Estela doesn't stay put.

La Doble Vida de Estela Carrillo, #32, Tuesday Jun 20 2017: The Gift Horse
This is just a mini-recap. Don't hesitate to add details in the comments.
Laura and Ryan are still in the stable when Danilo comes home. (Steve tried to warn Ryan, but Ryan was ignoring his phone.) Dani doesn't catch them because Morgana has arrived to pick a fight with him. Steve texts Genesis to ask for another chance.
Laura sneaks into the house, while Ryan waits in the stable to get the all-clear. Before Dani can go into the house, Marcelino Salgado arrives with the horse. Laura comes outside to greet them, and her hair is miraculously dry!
Danilo makes a big show of gifting the horse to Laustela, in front of Morgana. Later, after everyone has left or gone inside, Morgana decides to harm or mar the horse. Steve sends Ryan the all-clear, but as Ryan tries to leave, Morgana intercepts him. He makes an agreement with her and tells Laura so, but doesn't tell her or us what that agreement is.
Joe tells Mercy he's one signature shy of a divorce, but is interrupted by a phone call from his wife. The kids want to see him. Joe says he's too busy with work.
Next day, the doctor tells Leticia thatshe might have a tumor, and on top of that, she's pregnant. But she tells the kids she got a headache from being nervous and angry. And she wants to know where Maria got the money to buy the phone. Did she steal it from her father? Maria says she wanted to punish Erasmo for leaving them. Tadeo and Leticia scold her for giving Mexicans a bad name. Leticia says Maria has to go back and apologize. Oh and Tomas hasn't come home yet.

La Candidata Monday June 19, 2017; Capítulo 13: Regina will Present her Candidacy
As Susana is about to explain to Regina about her being
deceptively recruited into this prostitution ring and forced into this life, held
captive, who should appear but the super-pimp daddy himself, Mario Barcenas.
Poor Susana is mortified to see him show up at Regina’s office door and put two
and two together and figured out that pimp-daddy is also Regina’s daddy. Susana
goes running and contacts Cecilia for help.
Mario wants to know what is going on and Regina briefly
tells him. “Well did she give you names or places,” Mario’s inquiring mind wants
to know. Regina tells him that they were barely getting started when he showed
up and she got scared and ran off. “Well, maybe she will return,” says Mario. “So
what are you doing here?” says Regina. Mario says, “I have something very
urgent to discuss with you.” They go back into her office.

La Doble Vida de Estela Carrillo, #31, Monday Jun 19 2017: The New El Dorado
Danilo calls BunMan to tell him that Porfirio caught them double-dealing with Marcelino and is threatening to kill Palomita. He wants BunMan to call off the deal with Marcelino, but BunMan says that's crazy because Marcelino is throwing all kinds of money at them. Dani thinks Porfirio could be just as profitable in time, but BunMan doesn't want to alienate Marcelino. Danilo is emphatic that he does not want La Regia's daughter killed.
Let us pause for a moment to admire Danilo's one good quality. Time's up!
BunMan reminds Dani that he should be glad if Paloma is out of the way. That will take Ryan and "Estela" out of the running and then Dani can just knock up any old chick and get his 20%.
Dani really doesn't want anything to happen to Paloma. He tells BunMan she's locked up in a van and she'll be dead in an hour. BunMan tells him to quit wasting time and go find her, then.

La candidata Friday 6/16/17 Capítulo 12: Omar Threatens Natalia
OR: "Mujer honrada, la pierna quebrada y en casa" (An honorable woman is at home with a broken leg.) This classic Spanish proverb is alive and well in the misogynist world of "La candidata".
Alonso accuses Cecilia of lying to him. He never told her to do that. Cecilia thinks back on it all. Mauro told her and she thought they were Alonso's orders. That is why she got close to Hernán; to control him. She asked him to withdraw the information he was going to publish. Alonso wants to know if Mauro also asked her to sleep with Hernán. Cecilia just looks at the floor.
A very upset Emiliano, in the middle of Hugo's medical emergency, calls Regina. He says he is at Hugo's house and Hugo is dead from pills he took. Hugo's mother is blaming him for it all. Regina calls an ambulance. Emiliano needs to stay put, Regina is on her way.
Gerardo gets home and Ximena is there in tears. She comes clean about lying to him the night before. Her mother was not home when he called and she ended up going out herself. She informs Gerardo that Teresa is up to her old tricks: she is asking her for money again. Furthermore, she said that Teresa wanted to make a pact not to tell him about it. Teresa also hit her. Then she started taking everything out of the house saying she was going to sell it all. She cannot/does not want to live with her. Gerardo discovers that Teresa followed Ximena back to his place and that Teresa stole his father's watch. He shakes his head in exasperation.
Natalia informs Omar that she does not want to/cannot get back together with him. Omar says it is her choice. If she chooses to leave him, he will kill her. He will not allow her to expose him in front of everybody. It is bad enough that she came to stay at their son's house. How much more is she planning on humiliating him? Natalia thinks he should be in prison for killing Javier. No, he will be in prison for killing her, the damned ingrate she is. Natalia threatens to scream. Omar doesn't care because nobody will come to her aid. The time has come for her to end her tantrum. Come home with him or he will kill her on the spot. He proves his point when he takes out a gun.

La doble vida de Estela Carillo, #30 Friday, 6/16/17 The worst idiot narco wannabe in history
Paloma and Rosario
surprise Laura with a visit right outside of Furia Productions. There are a lot of fans
there waiting to see Regia, between them Nina and Fausto, too. Fausto sees Palomita
and says « mi hija » (did I hear right?)

some time for Ryan, who is still in the restaurant basement, dealing with the
slowest computer ever. He finally finds some documents, but has to run before he's able to make any type of transfers.
Laura as Regia meets with Marcelino, the leader of one of the cartels –
she promises that she was forced to sing. Danilo, aka the New El Dorado is also there. Laura is disgusted to see what new role Danilow is playing.
LetMe and Tadeo come to take Maria back to Tomass' home. She doesn’t want to go, but
Erasmo says she can always come visit him, but can't stay for good. Maria reluctantly agrees to go, but wants to say goodbye to her
dad first ; as soon as she’s alone, she steals the money she found the night before, because she
feels that her father is failing her (or is it her entire family?)

La Candidata 6/15/17 Chapter 11: Emiliano Blames Himself For ….. (See Recap)
AFTER HOURS AT THE OFFICE
Alonso has Cecelia in his office. After flirting with him all day, he figures he has a right to make his BIG move, right there and then. After seductively kissing her he gets rough and throws her back so she lands on his desk. He approaches again and Ceci doesn’t exactly rebuff him, but states she doesn’t get involved with married men.
Meanwhile, Regina is approaching the governor’s office. Ceci hasn’t moved. Al looks at her not very seductively and orders her to remove her clothes, slowly. Ceci reaches for her zipper. Regie reaches for the door.
Hernán, who’s been snooping around the halls after hours, watched Ceci enter the gov’s office and now sees Regie at the door. He interrupts her movement toward the door and while she is distracted by wondering what he is doing here and his saying he wants to ask her some questions, he invisibly sends Ceci a text that the gov’s wife is at the door.

La Piloto #73 6.15.17: In Which Yolanda Continues to Lose...
Hey all! This thing is far from over but this is my final recap as I am going on vacation for the next couple of weeks. Anita and Jardinera will either post a discussion page or recap in my absence but I encourage our amazing patio to contribute any way you can as we reach our final flight with Yolanda.
Thank you to my co-pilot, Jardinera, who first encouraged me to watch this, because I had no plans to, but was pleasantly surprised by the great acting, face paced story and relatable characters (despite a lot of dumb decisions along the way ;D) And I want to thank you all, our loyal commentors and passengers on this bumpy ride: Kirby, JudyB, Niecie, Carvivlie, Anita, Nett, Lynette, Steve, Vivi (for a little in the beginning there, hope you've kept up!) and many others who came and went. Hope to see you for another one and talk soon! :)
___________________________________________________________________________________
• Lizbeth arrives at the safe house and Arley instructs Lizbeth and Olivia to stay back while he and Yolanda go to the front door.
• Rosalba runs through the backfield with the baby and prays that everything will be okay because she has no idea where she is.

Webcam video is in italics.
• Danilo wakes up, grabs the rifle Laustela left and shoots at Asdrubal’s men as they burst through the door. He runs out of bullets and they shoot him in the left side of his chest. He goes down with a smile of his face.
• Mercy arrives home with Joe. She thinks it’s incredible that Ryan would reprimand her for her actions, especially since she’s now a widow, but everything is always her fault. Joe thinks he will forgive her eventually but Mercy doesn’t think so, especially after he already forgave and forgot Laustela’s fake robbery. She then grows quiet and admits that she feels dirty because of their actions but Joe tells her that it will take time, but they will get through it. He then kisses her.
• Laustela arrives with Ryan at his condominium and Rosario gives her a big hug before thanking her lucky stars that she’s okay. Ryan explains that Laustela has been through hell and back but was finally able to escape Danilo. Rosario nods as Laustela goes to get her some clean clothes so she can shower. Once alone, Laustela admits that she thought today was the last day of her life but Ryan proposes they beat him at his own game. Laustela would prefer he not get involved as Danilo is now a murderer because he killed El Dorado.
• Mercy wouldn’t want to give up her opportunity to be happy and Joe doesn’t want her to. He agrees they did wrong by Walter but that is the past. Mercy worries about what people will say when they are out in public but Joe doesn’t care. He does ask that she tell him if she doesn’t want to be with him anymore so he can leave. Mercy doesn’t think it’s that easy, especially after they’ve admitted their feelings to each other, but Joe reiterates that he will do what she wishes.

La Candidata, 6/14/17 Chapter 10: Cecilia and Alonso's Rendezvous
Regina
is chasing Emiliano down the hallway of the office; obviously he did not like
being reprimanded for kidnapping Hugo. As she continues to chase him, Tere is
casually coming out of Gerardo’s office and what do you know Regina bumps into
the last person she should have bumped into. Tere takes this very opportunistic
opportunity and begins to shower Regina with insults. “You love to steal
husbands”. Gerardo who is behind Tere tries to hold her back and tells her to
stop. Regina is paralyzed and can only watch. Gerardo asks Tere to leave, and
she obliges but not before trying to land a punch on Regina. Wow. Gerardo tries
to apologize to Regina, but all she can do is yell at him not to touch her and
storms off.
Mario is
on the phone with Cecilia, and he tells her that if she manages to help Alonso
get out of the eye of the storm she will “earn a piece in heaven”, and as for
what she did with the Regina/Gerardo pictures, that was good because “we always
have to protect family”.Mauro approaches Mario, Mario says
“I think we have Omar were we want him, look for Javier’s partner and find out everything about Javier Guzman”Mario will have to get close to Natalia in order to get more info. Mauro then informs Mario that Natalia is at the Governor’s house because she had a problem with Omar.
Noemi
walks in and Mario informs her that they are going to pay Natalia a visit.
Noemi hesitates because she does not want to see Omar. Not a problem Natalia is
at the Governor’s house.

She suggests Zulima to land soon as Zulima tries to go faster.
• Dave meets with Benavides, who has reinforced security around the station, and confesses that he is worried about Sinisterra. He reiterates that they must stop him from becoming president but Benavides explains that they need to arrest him first and for that they need proof. Dave asks what would happen should they not have proof and Benavides warns him that Sinisterra will become president in that case. Dave reminds him that there is a video proving his ties to organized crime as Benavides receives a call that Sinisterra is there to see them. Benavides asks Dave if he will be able to control him in the meeting and Dave nods before they leave.
• Yolanda begs her plane to pick up speed but it continues to decelerate as Zulima looks behind and sees that she’s getting away. Yolanda curses the fact that she only has one motor as Zulima picks up her phone and calls John.

La Candidata 6/13/17 Chapter 9: Omar Orders Javier's Execution
• Regina wanted to tell Alonso everything about her possible candidacy but he didn’t make dinner and then he arrived with Natalia so she figured it’d be inappropriate. Alonso thinks they can talk about it now but Regina thinks that it’s an informal possibility though Alonso argues that it is one presented by the Worker’s Union, which is very important. Regina thinks he shouldn’t minimize his own aspirations to the presidency but Alonso already explained why. Regina shakes her head, she knows him and knows he wants to be president. She asks that he let her know, if anything, but Alonso tells her that some people think he should be but that doesn’t mean anything. She asks why he talked to Gerardo about it, if it meant nothing, but Alonso is more pissed that Gerardo told Regina about their conversation. She tells him that it wasn’t Gerardo and explains that Ignacio told Daniela, who then told her. Alonso nods but confesses that she is becoming unrecognizable, especially after she hid her meeting with the Worker’s Union from him. Regina also explained why she did so but realizes that Alonso only cares about the possible effects of her nomination on him and not because worries about her. She apologizes and promises that she will never forget that he is the priority. She storms off and Alonso asks why they always fight when they talk before leaving.

La Doble Vida de Estela Carrillo (LDVDEC) #27 6.13.17: How to Betray Cartel Leaders and Almost Get Shot
• Rosario and Paloma cheer Laustela on because she’s committed to Regia despite the circumstances. They all smile.
• Nina tells Fausto that his scar is almost closed but it got infected so he’s going to have a nasty scar. He thought they had taken good care of him at Mr. Blake’s but that was not the case. Nina is curious and Fausto explains that Mr. Blake is a blind white guy. Nina then gets ready to go, much to Fausto’s annoyance, since he wanted her to stay but Nina wants to go see Regia live, especially after she met her in person. She suggests he get dressed and go with her but Fausto wants her to come back afterward so they can have some fun. Nina suggests he pay her, so he can reserve her time, and Fausto halfheartedly does, though he chides her for making him pay since he thought they knew each other better.
• In the dressing room, Genesis tells Laustela that Ryan is on his way and the band members are almost ready. Laustela comes out, as Regia, and Genesis complements her attire and body. Just then, Danilo comes and Genesis leaves. He thinks Laustela looks gorgeous but a little sad. Laustela admits that she wanted to be a singer but the circumstances have made her less enthusiastic. He nods and requests that he open with a new song before handing her a piece of paper. Laustela argues that she didn’t rehearse it and it looks strange but Danilo wants her to learn it in 20 minutes and perform it as instructed.

La Doble Vida de Estela Carrillo, #26, Monday Jun 12 2017: And the Dish Ran Away with the Spoon
There is no dish.
There is no spoon.
How can you eat your Hopeos without a dish or spoon?
Easy: pour your beer, wine, or milk directly into the box. It's moisture-proof! Then spear your cereal with a fork. Take a selfie and post it on InstaSnapFace!
Calao tells Danilo that El Dorado somehow failed to make a deal with Porfirio Pineda, el Baron, from the Los Altos gang. This is Danilo's big chance!
At the secret hideaway, Ryan asks Laura to promise they'll never be apart again. They kiss. She warns him that Danilo is dangerous - not so much on his own, but by way of the people around him. She doesn't want him to find out that she and Ryan are together. And she's worried that there will be a scandal about her being with Ryan and then with his brother. Ryan is angry, but Laura urges him to be patient.
At a bar, Calao carefully places his sunglasses under his hat. This is irrelevant, but I had to rewind three times to see what it was, so now you know too. For some reason, he and Danilo have come here to discuss the new client (maybe they're worried that his office is bugged?). Danilo wants to know what's the deal with this Porfirio Pineda guy, but Calao doesn't tell him much - only that he wanted to meet with Danilo. Danno thinks maybe El Dorado wants him to take up the clients that El D can't handle. Calao says in that case, El D will probably want a commission. Dani says no, it's HIS deal and he won't share! He asks Calao to set up a meet and not let BunMan know about it. He promises Calao a stake in the deal.

La Candidata 6/12/17 Chapter 8: Regina and Gerardo Are Exposed
• Regina tells Emiliano that Ximena imagined an affair between her and Gerardo or thought they had one but it’s not true. She has known Gerardo since they were at the university together and he even knows Alonso like they know Teresa. Emiliano doesn’t think Ximena anything but Regina reiterates that she has a strictly professional relationship with him as a fellow senator in another political party. Emiliano asks if she’s sure but Regina is quiet.
• Alonso tells Cecilia that she has nothing to be sorry for but does ask that she go to him first should they have another problem. Cecilia nods and explains that she just didn’t want to be the source of any tension between him and Regina, who apologized for her behavior afterward, but vows to not let anything like what happened interfere with her work again. Alonso smiles and asks if she wants to take the day but Cecilia prefers to work though she needs him to forgive her for any trouble she may have caused. Alonso nods and asks her to talk to the newspapers so they don’t run the note that may implicate Omar. He then asked if she cried, and points to the bridge of her nose, which Cecilia quickly wipes away. She tells him that she was sad and angry but she feels better now. Alonso thinks that’s good and gets closer as Magda comes in and sees them.
• Regina reiterates that she is not having an affair and would prefer that Emiliano not talk to Ximena again. Emiliano wonders if it’s because she’s the daughter of the opposition and Regina nods, on top of her being a liar. She offers to take him to dinner but Emiliano reminds her that she has her nightly meetings and pulls away from her. Regina doesn’t fight him and leaves his room without another word.

La Piloto #69 6-9-17: The Exterminator Meets The Terminator
Col. Santa Maria questions La Embajador (Lady Ambassador) and learns that El Senador brought Yolanda in to replace The Brothers Lucio to bring him his merchandise. The base of operations is at The Mediterranean Club. She gives him directions to the place and he’s given a number of men to help try raiding the place and getting his hands on Yolanda “to fix a few things outstanding” between them.
Zulima goes over the map and the agenda from once they land in Colombia while Guard Dog Pilot sits and sleeps in the back seat of the plane. Yolanda says the place is pure jungle and she has a lot of nasty memories. Chocó was the name of the town she was held prisoner in.

La doble vida de Estela Carillo, #25 Friday, 06/09/17 Regrets, threats, and intolerable inepts (courtesy of RgvChick)
We start back with Ryan finding out that
Laura is with Danilow because she’s being threatened with deportation and
being separated from Paloma. Ryan Crazy Eyes Cabrera wants to go break his bro’s
bones, but Rosario says it would be too dangerous for Laura. Ry wonders once
again what makes Mexico so scary, but Rosario has spilled enough beans for now.
He realizes that he has been acting like an imbecil with Laura but Chayo asks him to take
things slow.
Laura doesn’t want to talk about Paloma’s
dad with Mercy, since he’s dead. She says a tearful goodby to Paloma (I’m crying a bit,
too). Then, in the car, she cries some more, thinking about what she’s been through with
her daughter (saving her from whatever was threatening them in Mexico, crossing the
border, playing together). Next thing you know, she’s back at the house, just
when Mercy is about to take Paloma shopping and teach her to call her mommy
(wtf!). She says that she just can’t separate from her daughter, it would be a
terrible mistake. Mercy is a mom, she must understand. (Does she? She did
abandon a child, right?)

La Candidata 6/9/17 Chapter 7: Regina Apologizes to Cecilia
OR: How Regina Gets Thrown Under the Bus and Played 2X All in the Same Day
NB: the gov=Alonso=the gov
We start with a "mother and child" reunion between Ximena and her mother Teresa at the rehab center. Ximena has gone to visit her mother. They are both happy to see each other. Ximena needs her mother. Teresa will always be there for her. Ximena has a more pressing issue to address: she now knows that her mother was not merely fantasizing about her father being in love with another woman. Ximena tells her mother that her dad Gerardo abandoned her for the wife of the governor.
We are transported back to the vacant office/apartment Omar uses for his personal interrogation/detention center to witness Mario's triumphant return with his own band of thugs. When confronted by Mario, Omar accuses him of having committed two mistakes: meddling in the gov's business and in his grandson's business. While the two old codger mafiosi are hashing the matter out of who started it, Javier is taking advantage of being free of supervision and starts to try to loosen the ties that bind him. He frees himself and starts looking for a way out but the best he can do is to stash himself in one of many closets. Back to the main event! Mario accuses Omar of having it all wrong. Mario did what he did to just help out so his daughter and the whole country did not find out that Omar's son the gov had a lover. As for their grandson Emiliano, Mario just took an opportunity to get rid of a problem for him. Omar is not impressed and makes it clear that ALL business needs to be done through him and not through the governor. Mario justifies his acts again because they all could have been destroyed. Omar is not accepting Mario as their "savior'. Mario knows that but wants to take advantage of the opportunity to establish a truce. Hey, he won't even retaliate for what Omar did to him. They are all in the same boat; all pulling for the same side. Omar does not see that as a reality because Mario is pulling for Regina and he is pulling for Alonso. No problem! It turns out that there is really no conflict between them because Mario thinks Regina is brilliant but since she is an idealist and not a deal maker, she is useless to them in politics. It would be better for her to stay in the senate and for Alonso to get the real power in his hands. For Omar the conversation is over but Mario still wants a non-aggression pact/truce. They are family. They are business partners. He puts his hand out to shake. Omar finally shakes on it but still does not look convinced. In the meantime Javier manages to escape. Omar is angry and sends his goons in hot pursuit.

La Piloto #67 6.7.17: In Which Yolanda Flies Again
• Vaquero wonders if the Lucios have set up a trap for him but Yolanda reveals that she no longer works for them and neither does he. Zulima suggests they both lower their guns, as both of them are independent contractors, and they oblige.

La Candidata, 6/7/2017 Chapter 6: Regina Against Corruption
Chapter 6: Regina Against Corruption
“talk to Don Omar and you will see that I am telling you the truth, I am sorry I can’t tell you anything else” he rushes back to his vehicle and Regina gets out of hers, runs to catch up to Almiron.
“Almiron, please, please, please don’t leave me like this, please don’t leave me like this” she gets to his vehicle and Almiron is trying to make his point “Instead of wasting time interrogating me, your father’s life is at risk, talk to Don Omar”
Almiron looks extremely distressed and pushes the accelerator and bolts out of there…
Regina runs after Almiron but the effort is futile, with her
high heels and well he’s in a car. She returns defeated to her vehicle, where she tries calling
her father only to hear that the phone is outside the area or turned off.
Back at the San Roman home, Alonso can’t accept what his
mother is telling him.
“Alonso, look at me, I know what I tell you, someone is in
danger, and all I ask is that you talk to your father”
“My father would never do anything like that”
“You need to separate yourself from him, don’t lose
everything you have accomplished because of him, you will be an accomplice to a
murder.” “Your father is a Mafioso; your father is a monster”
“I will talk to him to prove to you that what you are saying
is crazy”
“I don’t know what to
tell you, I don’t even know what to think” is the simplest lamest cop out he
comes up with and leaves her at the door begging him to stop.

He continues to try and get himself loose from the restraints.

Mercy doubts it but she hopes Morgana is not the first in a long list of women he hopes to forget Laustela with.

La Candidata Martes, 6/6/17 Chapter 5: Mario is Kidnapped
Sometimes
a person gets a major taste of his own medicine and that can be a
good thing. It's too bad justice isn't always that on target.
- D.D.
Chapter
Five: Mario is Kidnapped
Mario
was dragged into a building by two goons who had placed a black
pillow sham over his head so he would not see where he was taken.
His hands were tied behind his back, which did not prevent him
kicking the metal desk behind him as he protested this treatment, one
he would not hesitate to use on others.

La Piloto #65 6-5-17: When Is Failure Not A Failure? When Luck Turns It Into Success
Parte 1~~
John and Col. SantaMaria are greeted with cheers at the latest encampment in the D.F. for the ex-cartelitos. We learn (much to Viewerville's disgust that Oscar's remains are a-ripenin' in the trunk. Nope. He did not get a burial yet.) The boys in the band are now supposed to give due homage to The Dead One, no doubt now ripening like a fine fromage. (My apologies to our resident former French profesora, but I couldn't resist.)
