Weekend Discussion 11/23/19: Karmageddon for the Reptiles of Cuna de Lobos
I
have concluded that the better title for this tale would have been
Abismo de Serpientes. It would seem to me that anyone
entering the territory of Catalina Creel is as much in danger as if
he were entering Ilha da Queimada Grande. Wolves are monogamous,
social, and warm-blooded. They love their young. They are the
ancestors of and reproductively compatible with our beloved dogs.
Snakes are cold-blooded and do not care for their young. They are
also more prone to cannibalism.
We
are so close to the end due to the endless twists and turns of this
story and its unpredictability. Therefore, we have many points to
consider. As usual, we ponder the fates of this Royal Family of
Evil:
- What do you think will happen to them?
- If different, what would you prefer to have happen to them?
For
those unaware, Mexico does not have capital punishment. Do your best
to second-guess or outdo what is to come. – D.D.

Cuna de lobos, Capítulo 23 Fri. 11/22/19: Catalina's Dilemma - Is it Claustrophobia or Are the Walls Really Closing in?
This is my last recap for "Cuna de lobos" and I would like to thank Urban and AnonFri for joining me on this recapping venture and making the coverage of this novela possible. It has been a pleasure working with you both.
On to the recap:
In Sierra Leone, Vega meets with Julius and informs him at gunpoint that Julius is now working ONLY for him. He will not allow Gothier to get all of the benefits. Julius quickly agrees with a chortling Vega. Suddenly, they are both cackling together but Julius realizes the danger of the situation.
An imbibing Catalina asks Francisco what he is doing coming to see her. He expresses his sympathies about Gélica. He agrees that the "process" of finding the killer will continue because the guilty person is still free. Catalina agrees but without witnesses or evidence it will be difficult to trap her. Francisco wonders about that since that person's good luck seems to be coming to an end. Catalina thinks that could end up being dangerous for others. He informs her that he gave José Carlos all of the financial and operational records of Gothier. She does know what he is talking about, right? Catalina asks him if he wants to commit suicide, too. He answers no but does want her to know that he is capable of turning her in. She asks if he hates her that much. He wants to make a deal. He is going to turn himself into the authorities and will take the fall for all of the illegal business dealings they made together. She wants to know in exchange for what. He makes it perfectly clear. If she does not go, he will turn her in.

El Dragon #38, 11/22/19 - Whack a Mole Explosion!
Another Friday is upon us and this time with the end of, what the rest of the world will see on Netflix as the season Finale for Season 1. So I am guessing that it should be a good one. But for us, it is just another Friday night cliffhanger, thank you Univision. So let’s jump in.
First, we open with Hector. He is being tortured by Epig! Interestingly enough, Epig has done exactly what Miguel told him not to do. He is not leaving Hector alone. In the opening scene, he is holding a gun to his head telling him he needs to say his prayers because he is going to the bone yard. Epig takes a shot, but is messing with Hector. Because he doesn’t actually shoot him. He is a complete jerk, pretending to not understand why the shot didn’t kill Hector and telling him he is usually good for the third shot. Just trying to play mind games. Hector begs him to kill him. Epig tells Hector that if he opens his eyes he will put a bullet between his eyes. But Hector obviously doesn’t have that much of a death wish because he doesn’t open his eyes.

El Dragón #37, 11/21/19: Pig Makes His Bed, Victor Sticks In His Nose, Flaco Flakes, and Mig Machos Out
Epigmanio has been locked inside the restaurant's storeroom, acting more like a caged boar, squealing and roaring away, ready to gore the first big thing in sight. When Miguel appears and tells Pighe's only alive right now because he wants Pig alive. Pig screams insults at "the effiminate Japanese wanna-be" to fight him man to man. Mig opens the cage and walks off further into the narrow hallway. "--You want me, you got me."

Cuna de lobos, Capítulo 22 Thurs. 11/21/19: Gelica in Jail, Not Happy with Accommodations
This is AnonFri's LAST recap for Cuna. Let's give AnonFri a well deserved round of virtual applause for these great recaps. [Anita, who has been the gremlin posting them on the front page.]
Leonora is crying inconsolably in her jail cell. A guard calls out her name and tells her she’s free. Leonora walks one last time through the cell area and finds Luis and Jose Carlos at the end of the gates. She’s holding her clothes and trying to stifle her cry but upon hugging them, thanking them, and asking for forgiveness, she cries. She holds them together that way for a bit.
Leonora is soon outside at the Larios mansión and finds Catalina in the garden. She demands to know where her son is, but Catalina says “My grandson is with his father, as it should be. You can’t get near him.” She adds that Alejandro has full custody because she’s not capable of taking care of Edgar. Leonora claims that no judge will keep her away from her son, and when Catalina tries to hold her back from entering the home, Leonora tells her off. Alejandro walks out with Edgar in his arms and hands him over to Leonora. Catalina asks him what he’s doing, and he responds that he should have done this long ago. He offers Leonora a ride but she replies that Luis is waiting for her and she resentfully says she never wants to see him again. When she’s gone, Catalina tells Alejandro that Edgar is her grandson, this is his home and I’ll make sure that he comes back. He retorts “You’ll never change will you? You’ll never understand.”

El Dragón #36, 11/20/19: Mexican Samurai
Japan:
Miguel, Peligros, and Ishiro were with Jun, who explained that the
dispute between himself and Goro goes way back. A gang of ninjas
stalked Tadamichi and placed a motion sensor in the woods while Jun
denied killing his own right-hand man, blaming Goro for this as the
pretext for a war. Miguel saw the tattoo on Jun's hand and realized
he was lying, flashing back to a shooting inciident. Miguel put Jun
in a deadly headlock saying he will kill him himself if he kills
Tadamichi.

Cuna de lobos, Capítulo 21 Wed. 11/20/19: A Twisty Kinky Tale with a Strong Dose of Disillusionment
We pick up the story with Leonora in her cell being counseled by her "Catalina bought" public defender Figueroa. He explains how they can get her a more favorable sentence and her baby back in her custody even maybe at a minimum security prison with her confession to Miguel's murder. She wisely asks if Catalina and Alejandro can do something to thwart their efforts and the lawyer knowingly says that they cannot do anything "legally". He explains the court will act to protect the infant and that they will grant custody to whomever can assure its well-being the best. Leonora looks hopeful. He asks if they can accept the deal offered by the judge. Leonora barely nods.
At Luis's place, Alvaro sits quietly while José Carlos and Luis talk about what to do next to help Leonora. They discuss that Alvaro's testimony would have the same weight as the security guard's so they need something else. Luis is ready to tell them that Leonora was with him when Miguel died and that Alvaro had a meeting with Catalina at the building at that time.

Cuna de Lobos, Capitulo 20 Martes 11/19/19: J'accuse!
I
often wonder whether true crime programs on television – including
my own – make criminals smarter. Whether they do or not, they're
good for ratings. This one will make a great novel someday. In the
meantime it will serve as a social statement about how injustice can
sometimes be bought. – D.D.
Leonora
got her first experience of violence in the prison at roll call, when
she failed to answer. The guard nastily told her that she was to
respond when she called her name, then hit her in the stomach.

We
left with some Japanese guy caught doing something alone in a bathtub
and subsequently being punished for it. I thought it was kinda
severe, but the Japanese are different about those things. Huh? Oh
he was one of the underworld kingpins' helpers from an opposing
view. Tadamichi
tells Mr. Migster this means war. Swell fellas, keep it over there
this time.
Tadamichi
and Migs and Tad tells him to stay close to Goro, he doesn't trust

El Dragón #34, 11/15/19: From Pig Pen To Makin' Bacon Or All Muddy Tracks Lead to Pig
Parte 1~
We begin again with the most memorable scene this past week: Chano, QEPD, blabbing to Hector that Epimanio Moncado is the head of the new drug cartel in CD Juarez and Hector being covered in brain pulp just afterward, courtesy of Tacho and his high-powered rifle shot from numerous blocks away.
Adela, meanwhile, manages to escape the clutches of Mr. Barrio back alley thug (more of a pipsqueak who seems too winded to do much more than threaten - and why oh why does the barrio bum always determine it's something of a macho rite of passage to rape a gal from outside the neighborhood?) With a well aimed knee-knock at his chestnuts and ahop onto a conveniently parked moto of a pizza delivery girl... put, put, put--Vroooooom! She is outta there and back on her way to where-ever.

Cuna de Lobos, Capitulo 19 Lunes 11/18/19: Blood, Sweat, and Tears
Lies,
bribes, and sex as payment or manipulation are the stuff of
psychopaths. It's a good thing I never went into law enforcement
because I don't like thinking about how many people paid for crimes
they didn't commit just because the killer had money. Or were
induced into committing ones by other people with too much money.
Maybe I'll pick up a copy of Double Indemnity and send it anonymously
to Commandante Vega to shake up his world. – D.D.
Catalina
– in her usual manner when stressed, angry, or triumphant – strew
the papers on the table and threw over its top.

A SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT FROM COUNTxALACRÁN TO CARAY, CARAY! VISITORS
WHO IS THIS LOVELY LADY??? DO YOU
RECOGNIZE HER???
She is none other than Bernarda Saenz, viuda de
Guillen (Jacqueline Andere) from La Otra (2002), one of most evil, disturbing villains
ever. She is the epitome of the toxic mother. Her selfishness drives the
oppressive manner she treats her daughters in order to satisfy her own desires.
Greetings
Caray, Caray! visitors--
Some of you
may know me already. For those that don’t, let me introduce myself. My
nom de plume was CountxAlacrán. During 2015-2016 I was a recapper on several telenovelas,
including Yo No Creo En Los Hombres, Yago
and Que Te Perdone Dios. I posted comments regularly. Shortly
after YNCELH, I left the recapping teams due to personal obligations.
The reason
for this post is to announce my intention to create a website where my own recaps
of Spanish telenovelas and possibly other shows, not available elsewhere, such
as La Otra, can be ordered and purchased
for a fair price. I hold a B1 certificate in English, so translating from Spanish to English will be my primary focus.Read more »

El Dragon #33, 11/13/19: Moving Out, Moving On
Good Evening my Patio Peeps, I know, I am here a few days early this week, but due to some changes in this weeks schedules ( we all have lives), I am taking over this Wednesday night recap, and glad to actually. Usually, I wait until I am ready to recap to watch my episode, but I was so curious about what was going to happen last week that I went ahead and have already seen this one. So I am excited. It was good all around. More sentimental than some of you like, but just right for others. So let’s go!
At the beginning of the episode we get a brief replay of everything that happened in regards to Adela’s interview with the magazine Nosotros. The instructions given by Miguel, the interview itself, and the fall out upon publication, when Miguel freaks out on Adela over the amount of information she allegedly divulged in the interview. We pick up with the breakfast where he tells her that he would have expected betrayal from anyone except her. And of course Adela is in complete disbelief because viewerville knows that Adela did not in fact give up any information that she shouldn’t have, and that Jimena was the mastermind behind the entire thing. Adela denies that she opened her mouth. She tells Miguel straight out, “if I am telling you I didn’t say anything, it’s because I didn’t say anything.” Miguel, very sanctimoniously begins reading from the article.

Cuna de lobos, Capítulo 18 Wed. 11/13/19: Two Hits and a Miss--OR--Skulking with Alvaro
As Alejandro looks up from kissing Miguel, he catches sight of a horrified Leonora who is exiting as fast as she can. He goes after her and apologizes saying he didn't want her to find out like this. She tells him she heard everything that he and Miguel said to each other. She doesn't want to hear anymore. She runs away screaming for him to stay away from her. Alejandro is visibly upset. Leonora sobs and screams at herself for being an idiot as she sits in her car. As she manages to drive away, Alvaro steps out of the shadows.
Ambar is talking to Francisco the best she can. She says she told him it was true. He answers saying that Catalina admitted to it all. Francisco asks her to forgive him and adds that he should have believed her. He informs her that Alejandro left in a desperate state and is rightfully angry. She adds that Alejandro had to know and to give some time. Francisco isn't sure he can forgive himself. Ambar dissolves in tears and tells him he always refused to believe her. With tears in his own eyes, Francisco assumes the blame for Ambar's current condition because everything she said was true. Ambar tells him that Catalina is a . . . Francisco finishes the sentence with "murderer."

After
Mig gets through with Angel, Angel sits up and tells him that if it weren’t for
him, that Chisca would be dead, “didn’t Jorge tell you?” Miguel turns to listen

Nobody
in the world tells the truth all the time; life would be intolerable.
However, too many lies told too long are time bombs waiting to
explode. Nobody even thinks about the fallout until it's too late. –

Catalina
removed the plastic bag and said “We still have much to talk
about.” She sat down. “What did you tell José Carlos? What
information did you give him?”

El Dragón #31, 11/11/19: Sex, Lies, Corruption, and Viral Video
Miguel
and Adela kissed while Jimena looked dagger eyes at her. Miguel
tried to tell Adela that he was not a romantic option for her despite
this “Because I can't make you happy”. He walked away from her.
[Coward!]
Hector's
wife, Ana, caught him in the act with Claudia and she lost it. He
made excuses. He held onto her until Claudia was able to make a safe
exit, feeling insulted at the excuses he made and telling Ana he
loved her. Ana then walked out on him. [Both of them should kick
his skanky ass at this point.]

Cuna de Lobos, Capitulo 16 Lunes 11/11/19: Confrontations
Confrontations
are sometimes best avoided. Unfortunately, they also tend to be
inconvenient, and with unpredictable outcomes.. – D.D.
José
Carlos walked out of the delivery room and removed his gloves. He
was greeted in her usual insulting manner by Catalina, who said, “You
are too weak. You have nothing to do with anything here.”
“You
should be thinking about Leonora,” he replied.
“Leonora
is Alejandro's wife.”
“Yes,
and where is your son?”
“You
are pathetic. You really want Leonora. Or are you doing this just
to annoy us?”
“Do
you really think I'm doing this in order to win the inheritance? The
reason I'm staying close to her her is to protect her from you.”
“Now
I understand it all. Leonora is the motive for your rehabilitation.”
“Yes,”
he said, looking her straight in the eye. “You know what else? I
am in love with her.”
“Oh.
There's nothing more ridiculous that to be in love with your
brother's wife.”
“One
day, when Alejandro abandons her – and that will happen – I will
be there by her and for her and neither you nor anyone else can stop
me.”
“That's
if your adored one continues to survive.”
He
glared at her as Francisco arrived and stood behind her. He was
shocked at José Carlos' expression. He then looked at Catalina as
she walked away.

Cuna de Lobos, Capítulo 15 Fri. 11/8/19: Time Jump
Diego continues his sexual assault on Catalina at the abandoned warehouse. The scene changes and she is face down, still clothed, on a mattress with her hands tied behind her back. Diego lies on top of her also clothed and tells her how beautiful she how good she smells. She tells him he will pay for this. He says it will be a hard thing to do from a jail cell because he plans to destroy her just as she did him. Diego calls José Carlos, still in Sierra Leone, to let him know that they have some things in common that they need to talk about. He wants to take some information to the authorities. José Carlos suggests he goes ahead and talks to the police unless it has to do with his attack on his aunt or diamond trafficking. Diego informs José Carlos that the diamond trafficking has been going n for years now. José Carlos is well aware of that as well as Diego's contacts. Diego adds that he should know that his stepmother is the leader of the gang. José Carlos asks why is Diego telling him all of this. Diego really doesn't know but tells him to come to a judgment and to take the appropriate action. He hangs up and approaches Catalina with a gun in his hand. She has two choices, as he sees it, one is to turn herself in to the authorities and the other . . . he makes sure she sees the gun. As she tells him to kill her calling him a disgusting pig, he throws her on her back and points the gun at her face. She tells him to shoot her but he can't. Frustrated with himself, he swears and puts the gun down.

El Dragón #30, 11/8/19: Buying Elections and Playing House
Back to our regular scheduled programming faithful friends. Friday night is here, let’s see how where our writers leave us tonight.
Angel overhears Chisca telling Valentin that she misses him, and all that jazz. Valentin gives her lame excuses about why he hasn’t called, the divorce is complicated, his wife’s lawyers can’t find out about his relationship with her. They talk sweet to each other, and all while Angel is listening and you can tell that he is upset by the whole thing. Valentin brings the conversation around to Miguel and tells Chisca that she should find out what Miguel is up to so that he can help her out by talking to Miguel for her. She is so stupid over him that she doesn’t even realize that all he is doing is pumping her for information and that it doesn’t suit him in the slightest that she is on the outs with her brother. Angel kicks an errant beer bottle and Chisca hears. She is using the excuse of Adri and Valentin buys it. Angel sneaks back upstairs. How many times does Valentin need to bring up Miguel for Chisca to get a clue. Good thing she was completely out of the picture with this last mission, but I worry she is going to get more info from Jimena than Miguel. Angel is destroyed by everything he just heard. I wonder if he is smart enough to put two and two together, or if anger and his broken heart are going to hinder his brain cells from functioning.

El Dragon #29, 11/7/19: Dead Man Walking or Chisca, Too Much Chisca
Nice to see you all a day early this week. I am taking care of Thursday and Friday recaps this week, so as you know, buckle in for a looooong ride. No really, trying to keep it a little shorter tonight as I have to work early tomorrow. But if you have any questions about a scene, or dialogue that I didn’t cover, put it in the comments, I can always go back for more details. So lets jump in.
Last night we ended with Adela picking up the file that Miggy had on his desk with the background check he did on good ole Victor. Now we can all agree, I think based on all of your feedback that this was very warranted. But also, as we all assumed, once Adela found out, she was pissed. I mean, good thing he came back clean and all (although, in my opinion, the jury is still out). I do like the way she reacted however, telling Miguel that not everyone who gets close to her, is doing it to get to him, and that he isn’t the center of the universe. She ends by asking “Who are you Miguel?” Good question, one I think those of us on the patio have been trying to figure out as well. He isn’t 100% hero, nor 100% villain, yet in his stoicism we see very little of who he truly is, except a he-ho. Adela stumbles on a truth that Miguel won’t admit, she asks if he is jealous. And I think that Migs was looking for any reason really, to look into her guy. And at that point, Adela lets loose. She tells him that he is with as many women as she likes but he has a problem with her seeing someone. He says of course not, she can be with whomever she pleases. In fact, he would like to meet Victor. The best part of the scene though, isn’t even the words, its the looks that Miguel gives, he doesn’t like being told anything. And it look like Victor is coming to dinner… not really, he just says they should meet.

Cuna de Lobos, Capítulo 14 Thurs. 11/7/19: Diego Will Be Back
Below is AnonFri's recap for Thursday's episode.
Diego prepares to leave but Catalina appears, holding a gun to his head. She tells him that his mistakes have been costly to her. He tells her that her biggest mistake was actually underestimating him. They struggle for the gun and it goes off but neither of them were hit. Diego wins, throwing Catalina breathless on the couch.
Francisco heads into the building to see Diego. He yells out Catalina’s name from the street. Catalina tells Diego she had the opportunity to kill him but didn’t, so they’re both even now. Diego hits Catalina in the head with the gun and heads out through a backdoor while Francisco forces open the front door and finds Catalina hurt on the floor. Diego drives off in his navy car.

El Dragón #28, 11/6/19: A Happy Pill in Everyone’s Future
We start out with a slight rewind of Hans and Jimena’s
arrival at the Pritken lab gates for what he hopes will be a little private
comfy time.
When Trejo and Peligro, posing as the lab guards aren’t quick enough at the gate, Hans gets out to harangue them. He wants to know who they are. Trejo explains he’s subbing for the regular guard. Hans wants to know his name—Trejo answers Ricardo Aceituna (Rick Olive). Hansie demands this imbecile with the funny name open up the damned gates. By this time Trejo can’t delay any longer and complies. Our intruders are still inside, Mig trying to hurry up Flaco since there are only two minutes left. Done and done. They exit the restricted lab as we watch the timer go down from 5-4-3-2-1 seconds, to .... whew, they make it past the laser just as it turns from green to red.

Cuna de Lobos, Capítulo 13 Wed. 11/6/19: Unruly Loose Ends
Catalina is meeting with Diego in her office. She has noticed he has seemed stressed lately and things and he is losing control. As he protests to the contrary, Catalina reminds him about Ambar and then Luis's accident that almost cost her the life of her daughter in law grandchild. He is just not cutting it and now there is the situation with Sabrina. Catalina feels that he needs to go on vacation. He wants to know if he is being removed from the business because he feels that he has been loyal in spite of knowing what he does. Catalina takes that as the second time he has threatened her. He disagrees insisting he isn't that stupid. Visibly upset, he wants to know what he can do to make things right again. She gives him a task. Luis the reporter was snooping around yesterday. She wants him to make sure that Luis understands he isn't to come around her or her family again. She still is offering the "vacation." A knock on the door ends the conversation. It is Leonora who has come to get her for a photo shoot.

Cuna de Lobos, Capitulo 12 Martes 11/5/19: Sabrina Full of Grace
Lies
and long-term deceptions are the poisons of life. It doesn't matter
whether people are rich or poor as long as they are honest with
themselves as well as others. No monster ever wants to know that is
what they are and many are not born to this, but become so because of
what they do to others. Too many of them do not see this happening. – D.D.
Ámbar
fired several times, aiming just a half meter beyond Catalina's left
shoulder. Catalina – as cold-blooded as ever – barely flinched.
“No,
no,” said Francisco.
“Tell

El Dragón #27, 11/5/19: Locked up Twice, is there an Escape?
We begin
with Chisca’s arrest and getting her mugshots. She thinks she can just say she
is a Garza and get off easily. But she gets thrown in the slammer anyway
without a phone call. Her cellmate bullies her around and finally Chisca goes
to sit down.
Miguel
and Duarte are talking about Hector and discussing what to do about it. Miguel
says he can’t help him.
At the
Garza home, Dora and Rosario discuss dinner while the TV is on. Dora is
horrified as she witnesses Chisca’s arrest on the news. She calls Miguel who is
in the midst of talking to Duarte. Then he makes a deal with Duarte as Duarte “offers”
to just say the word and get her out. Miguel is stuck. He is now indebted to Duarte,
one favor for another.

Secrets
and lies are a poisonous stew that left simmering too long will boil
over the top, leaving a gaseous pollution in the air. These are not
the stuff of wolves, who work together and love their cubs, but of
reptiles and venom. Reptiles do not care for their young and are
barely conscious of them; they act only in their own self-interest. –
D.D.
Luis
went to the meeting arranged over the phone and it was with Ámbar.
“So
you have evidence that Doña Catalina is a murderer? Why call me
instead of the police?” he asked.
“You
know who Catalina Creel is. It's a miracle that I'm alive. She
tried to kill me when I discovered that she and my husband were
lovers. I was kidnapped, taken to another house, put in the garage,
fed an overdose of tranquilizers, and thrown into a car trunk. I
don't know what would have happened to me if I hadn't managed to
escape.”
“Does
anyone in your family know about this?”
“No.
They are all convinced that I abandoned my husband. But she is only
concealing her crime. She thinks I'm dead, so that's why I asked you
to come.”
“I
don't understand why you called me; remember that I'm only a
journalist.”
“But
you interfered in what was happening. You were at the new line
celebration. You know they are criminals. You know about the
trafficking in illegal diamonds.”
“Because
at that moment I was in the middle of an investigation –”
He
stopped as Dora entered with coffee.
“Thank
you, Dora.” She turned back to Luis. “You can talk; I trust
her.”
Dora
looked at Luis, then excused herself and left them to talk.
“I
don't have more to say,” Luis said. “I had to abandon the case
because of my boss's lack of confidence and because I had no proof of
anything.”
“I
can help with evidence. Catalina and my husband think I'm an idiot,
an imbecile who knows nothing, but I know what I'm doing and how to
do it. You and I, if you help me, can do this so Catalia pays for
everything she's done.”

Cuna de Lobos Capítulo 10 Fri. 11/1/19 Catalina and the Law of Unintended Consequences--OR--An Heir and a Spare
Over drinks with Francisco, Catalina expresses her concern over the phone calls she has been receiving but insists she is not worried. Francisco thinks it is just someone who wants to frighten her. Putting him on the spot, she asks what he would he be willing to do for her. He asks what does she have in mind.
Back at Francisco's, Ambar is lingering in her bedroom as Dora tries to get her to leave because she knows that Francisco is on his way home. Ambar wants some of her clothes. Dora asks her not to take any because she doesn't want Francisco to think she is a thief. Ambar doesn't think he would ever notice as he cares nothing about her. Dora disagrees and urges her to leave. As Ambar barely moves, she and Dora hear Francisco arriving with Catalina. Out in the hall, Catalina wants to have sex but Francisco tries to get out of it saying it is just too soon (after Ambar disappearing). Catalina won't take "no" for an answer and soon she and Francisco are all over each other. Dora and Ambar have managed to sneak into the kitchen on the way out. Ambar grabs a knife as Dora tries to stop her. Catalina hears a noise from the kitchen. Francisco becomes curious and goes into the kitchen. He sees Dora with the knife in her hand. She excuses herself saying she dropped it as she was putting it away. She looks and sounds nervous as she explains that she was just doing some ironing. Francisco reminds her how late it is. She was just going . . . He gives her a half smile as she leaves but looks concerned. He tells Catalina that he is sure that Dora saw them. Catalina doesn't care what the servant thinks and they are back at it. Dora and Ambar are still in the house. Ambar starts to wail after seeing Francisco with Catalina. Dora covers her mouth to keep her quiet and leads her out of the house.

El Dragón #25, 11/1/19: The Fall of Halcon and Toledo Tries to Hook a Big Fish
Good Friday my faithful friends. What an interesting week we have had here on El Dragon. Although Monday night’s episode was a little slow, they did not leave us there and the rest of the week was action packed.
Tonight’s episode picks up with Epig’s suv under fire. El Halcon has decided that his time is up and is trying to take him out. Last night’s bomb didn’t do the job, but it looks as if it is still not time for Epig to meet his maker as he is driving an armored car and the bullets are bouncing off. Epig, Tacho and Chano escape the “atentado.” I like that word in Spanish better than the equivalent English explanation of an attempt/or action of kill people in the street, it also means attack but again, the word fails to completely capture the idea. Although “hit” would probably do it if set in the right context.

Hector squirms his way out of having to seduce--or be seduced by--Juana. He pleads emotional difficulties (Well, whatever pays the rent, right?) and they agree to see each other again. In the meantime Juana shows him pictures of her and Natalie in her phone, one of which intrigues him. He takes her phone and sends copies of her pictures to himself while she is changing into something more stimulating--er relaxing. (A cocktail dress instead of negligee--thanks be to the telenovela gods.
