El Dragon #74, 1/8/20:A Sinking Ship and Betrayal on All Fronts

My job schedule left me with no time but to list a very few highlights.  Anyone wanting to add today feel free and I can add to main part. - ed.

  • Flaco suspects Kenia and secretly goes into his safe computer and sees Kenia took the photo of his favorite car and plates and used it to hack the computer.  He follows her out the next chance he gets; she says she's going to the bank.  He follows her there, chats amiably and then once she leaves he plays like he wants a box of his own but it's way to small.  He notes Gary the Government Agent walk in and go to open an empty P.O.Box and find nothing.  Yup.  It's Kenia who's been spying on everyone, keeping the government goons hot on their heels.  He reports his find to Miguel.

El Dragón #73, 1/7/20: Miguel Carrying the Weight of the World on his Shoulders


Kenia continues to try to log into that laptop computer. Each time it says, “Access Denied.” She’s frustrated. She takes her own laptop and heads outside the office doors.

Meanwhile, the news keeps reporting about Efilina deaths and on the death of the Governor of Baja California.  As Miguel and Adela watch the news together. Adela asks, “Do we know for sure it is the Efilina?” Miguel just shakes his head as he watches in disbelief. He gets on the phone and calls Flaco. He asks Flaco to get all the details on all the people who have died taking the Efilina. As Miguel continues to wince and be affected by all that is going on, Adela asks him if he is okay. He shakes his head and tells her he really needs to be alone. It’s not personal nor does it have anything to do with her. He walks out.

El Dragón #72, 1/6/20: The Shit Hits the Fan



Governor Montero collapsed on the floor during the television interview. Emergency medical personnel arrived to help. The Garzas were watching this on television. Peligros speculated that this was planned. Miguel arrived home at that moment, aware of what had just happened.

TELEMUNDO Y MÁS (#1): La Doña 1, El Señor de los Cielos 7, y más: Week of January 6, 2020

Welcome to Page #1 (Monday edition) of the Telemundo y Más page, issued twice a week: Mondays and Thursdays at 8:00 PM.

Here are the current evening telenovelas (all times are Eastern Standard Time):

• 9-10PM—La Doña 1 (abridged)**
• 10-11PM—El Señor de los Cielos 7

**Telemundo will be concluding the abridged version of its popular telenovela La Doña at the end of this week. Season 2 of La Doña will begin next Monday, January 13, at 9 pm. From the little that I've read and am able to report without spoilers, the plot will begin two years after the events of season 1. Saúl and Mónica (La Doña's daughter) are married. He is working as a lawyer for the Fundación Renacer and she is a law student. Together with Mónica's aunt Regina, they are working to end violence against women.  Their efforts are opposed by los Arcoiris, a gang that is known to torture and murder women. For several reasons, Altagracia Sandoval (aka La Doña), who has been living outside Mexico, decides to return. Needless to say, THE PLOT THICKENS. I should add that many of the actors in season 1 have returned for season 2, along with a number of new ones, among them David Zepeda, Carlos Ponce, and Marisela González.

El Dragon #71, 1/3/20: Moving Forward...Maybe


Adela enters Carmen’s house and Carmen immediately locks the door. Adela is obviously a little worried when she asks her why she locked the door. Carmen gives her an excuse type answer. And the audience goes “uh oh.” Then, to add insult to injury, Carmen offers Adela coffee that she herself does not want to drink which Adela also looks at suspiciously, and again…the audience goes “uh oh.” The women talk and the camera pans to Tacho peering around the corner…and the audience goes “uh oh” wondering what fate is in store for our poor Adela.

In between what happened in the scene between Carmen and Adela, back at Naga company headquarters, the group is trying to regroup and figure out how to proceed. Jimena calls in sick since she is being held hostage by the sadistic man that is Hans.

El Dragon #70, 1/3/20: It's All Hitting the Fan!!



Good evening my friends and hope that you are not already exhausted with the number of shows from the week. It’s been a long one. And hopefully didn’t do what I did, catch up on the whole week today. Hey…I was busy. But it is getting good. We are in the tail end here and everything has to hit the fan before the end. So here we go.

We left off last night with exactly what Peligros was trying to avoid. Adela’s photo in the hands of Epigmenio. Carmen is in shock when she hears that she is Miguel’s girlfriend. And just as Peligros warned, she is the wife of a mafioso and Carmens response to Epig was that he needed to kill her because no one makes a fool of his wife. Epig needs to know everything that Mrs. Piggy told Adela.

El Dragón #68-69, 1/2/20: Los Sayonaras or Your Days Are Numbered

This must be quick as my work schedule now has me getting home in the middle of the first epi of the duo.--Edit.
Cap. #68
  • Adela listens again to the 20+ year old recording.  "My father would never agree to transport.  I would have to kill him.  I've ordered sent a bomb."  Too disagreeable to burst everybody's bubble over that hot potato.  She lies to Peligros that she's not found a single clue.  He believes her, natch.
  • Jimena and Miguel discuss a magazine interview with a popular, intelligent and very dangerous reporter.  Mig accepts that challenge.  True to character, Viewerville observes he wants to get to the meat of Mig's secret life.  This guy--not yet 40-- could be the next leader of Mexico!
  • Chis has a tatoo done on her neck of Ishido's name in Japonese.

El Dragón #66-67, 1/1/20: Potted Stew


Numero 66: Propositions and Proposals 
  • On Garza Island Miguel and Adela discuss the sense of buying an entire island for themselves.  (Why, cuz if ya got it ya gotta spend it!  Ya can't take it with ya!)  He says they need a private escape for themselves.  Talk turns to his slowing down some day in the near future once Efilina takes over the culture and people stop dying from using illegal substances to escape the bad situations they face daily.  Then he (on his unicorn) and others (on their flying pigs) can retire from having to kill people over the same illicit trade.  (Viewerville reminds those of us who view things through reality glasses rather than the rose colored ones, that there will always be people who enjoy doing bad things and pursue making this trade illegal because they're born bad, namely the Epigmenios of the world.)  Ade marvels at the way Mig always has things so well thought out.  Well, says she, as long as the two of them end up happy together......

El Dragón #64-65, 12/30/19: Confrontations and Distractions



Mexico: Tacho confronted the Pig, forcing him to his knees for what he had done to him and his family in the past.

Dora and Miguel had a disagreement about his recent business moves. She didn't like him making himself the man of the hour over the petro cleanup, saying this wasn't part of “the agenda.” Adela came in to say she was going out. Dora tried with her unsolicited advice and Adela put her off with the “I'lll take that under advisement” comment. She showe them the morning paper the story about the prison escape, which distracted them from further argument.

Coming Soon to a Screen Near You...in 2020

Greetings, Caraymates!

As the 2019 telenovela year comes to an end, we can’t but reflect on all the wonderful (and some not-so-wonderful) productions that Telelvisa, Univision, Telemundo and other production companies have brought us. Among them we were introduced to transmigration of souls in Amar a Muerte (which swept away all the awards in the TVyNovelas Award Show except for one); we saw a young girl robbed of her family and her fame in La Reina Soy Yo; we had just about every PSA under the sun thrown at us in Mi Marido Tiene (Mas) Familia; and we were given more of a glimpse into the narco/crime world than we (at least I for sure) would hope for in TNs such as  La Piloto 2, La Reina del Sur and Por Amar Sin Ley 2. We even were witnesses to the birth of the Dream Factory/Fábrica de Sueños which brought us some well-renowned telenovelas which were adapted and transformed into 25-episode series. All in all, it was a good year! So what’s in store for 2020, you may ask? Well, grab a seat in the patio and let me tell you what I know (or have found). Before I start, I do want to put in some disclaimers—

The information you are about to read was gathered from a variety of sources including, “Univision,” “People en Español,”, “La Opinion,” “Wikipedia,” “Forbes,” and “Las Estrellas.” The articles/webpages read are dated from as far back as May, 2019; so changes may have been made by the powers that be in the production companies (and I am not privy to the changes). I have no information about release dates (except for maybe one of the productions) and you will note that there isn’t much info on some of the TNs, but this page will be updated periodically throughout the 2020 year. If you have current or more accurate information to share, please do so; it will be greatly appreciated and used to update the page.

El Dragon #63, 12/27/19: The Great Escape


This episode starts out by showing us what Tacho was doing with all of the money that Dora had given him. It turns out that he has bought at least half the prison, according to Chuey, who is none to happy to not be on the payroll. It looks like the entire thing happens on the day of their plan, but is told through flashbacks showing how the entire thing was planned and executed.

Tacho is living a pretty comfortable life handing out money for his creature comforts. Where he is storing the majority of the money, I have no idea. Then one day he meets a guy. His name is Inge and he was being picked on in the common area and Tacho came to the rescue. Inge is in prison for robbery, but he used to work on the plumbing and sewers of the city. Tacho is interested in this and confirms he was familiar with this particular zone, where the prison is located. When Inge gives the affirmative, Tacho tells him that he is his new best friend. Mom sneaks in what looks like maybe more money… never was really sure what she hid in the soap, and a map of the plumbing of the entire area in what is supposed to be a leg of something.

El Dragon #62, 12/27/19: Don't Cry Over Spilt...Oil?


This episode focused mostly on the oil spill, there wasn’t much else to it, so it should make this recap easier than usual, which is great since I have two episodes to cover.

The engineer and the secretary Sayanes, who wants to run for president are arguing over who caused the oil spill, after the secretary strong armed the engineer into increasing the production, not caring about the costs.

El Dragón #61, 12/26/19: If Chestnuts Grew In Miami


  • Miguel arrives at the office and wants Adela to leave earlier than usual.  Fearing the worst if Peligros tattletales on her, she must confess her plot to learn from Carmen, aka Mrs. Piggy, what role Epigmenio really had in Mig's parents' deaths.  He agrees with Peligros that it's foolish and dangerous as well as unnecessary.  They need to discuss it further at home.
  • Leopoldo Santamarina, is telling what he knows about Mig's enterprises--at least the umbrella structure stemming from Ecogreen and the latest acquisition of "Pídenos".  He'll get protection, sure, if the information is worth anything, advises Howard.  He mentions a number of businesses Howard has put on his wall map.  Leo tells him he's the legitimate face of Ecogreen and he's being forced to sign something he doesn't want to.  Howard is slobbering all over himself.  Come on in says Mr. Spider to the Leo the Fly.

El Dragón #60, 12/25/19: Oh, Happy Day!


  • Adela is muy impactada to realize that Lobo is there chatting it up with Mrs. Piggy, aka Carmen Moncado.  She is even more drop jaw impactado to see the two enter into a lusting lip lock.  She scampers out the door and down to the car where Peligros is waiting with his gun in hand and his heart in his throat.  They race home where the argument over "playing spies" continues.  Peligros says this has got to end!  Ade says no way since  Carmen's about to confide in her.  Peligros doubts it considering the way she hightailed it outta there without so much as a thankee ma'am.  Ade insists she'll think of something to explain it but she's not done.  Peligros threatens to tell all to Miguel if she does.  They separate once Rosario shows up wanting the low down on the beat down.  
  • Meanwhile, Miggy informs Ishiro that he's to stay in Mexico.  This should delight him but Mig notes he's less than excited.  (How Mig can tell considering Ishi has one expression: sourgrump.)  He asks him if there's a problem but of course Ishi denies anything but loyalty to the death.

Ishiro went into Chisca's room, but pulled back from getting into the horizontal mambo with her. Predictably, she was frustrated and irritated as he left her hotel room, telling her he would see her at home. A little later Chisca went into the elevator to leave. Ishiro was just far enough behind her not to be seen, but he took the stairs down.

TELEMUNDO Y MÁS (#1): La Doña (special edition), El Señor de los Cielos 7, y más: Week of December 23, 2019

Welcome to Page #1 (Monday edition) of the Telemundo y Más page, issued twice a week: Mondays and Thursdays at 8:00 PM.

Here are the current evening telenovelas (all times are Eastern Standard Time):

• 9-10PM—La Doña***
• 10-11PM—El Señor de los Cielos 7*** 

***OK amig@s, I have to confess: I don't know what Telemundo will be offering (or not offering) this week. The network abruptly yanked El Sultán out from under us last Friday but then indicated on their website's calendar that it would appear this Wednesday at 3 AM (no, that's not a misprint, at least not my misprint). According to the calendar, it will also appear this Thursday and Friday at 3:30 AM, and Saturday (!) at 3 AM. However, Zap2It, which usually (but not always) has reliable information, lists none of that. Nor does the Guide on my Comcast-powered TV. So your guess is as good as mine.

And speaking of guesses, what's up with the second season of La Doña? Telemundo announced that it would run a "special edition" this Monday, Dec. 23, at 9 PM. But its website now says that La Doña will run at 9 PM all week, except for Tuesday, when all telenovelas are being pre-empted by movies. Has Telemundo advanced the schedule, or are they offering an abridged version of season 1 for those who never saw or can't remember season 1?  [UPDATE: Yes, it's an abridged version of season 1 that will apparently run for at least two weeks. La Doña2 is still set to begin on January 13.]  As for Decisiones, it's not a telenovela, and since CarayCaray is devoted to telenovelas, Decisiones will  not be listed here.

El Dragon #58, 12/20/19: Epigmenio, so much Epigmenio!!



I guess we haven’t seen too much of Epig this week, so they packed it all in tonight. Tonight we open with the Epigmenio restrained by Ishiro because Lobo is armed, was it with a bomb at the end of last nights episode? Epig starts immediately arguing that it was just as a precaution. Lobo adds that they didn’t have any intention of using it. Miguel reiterates that they had all agreed that no one to be armed except the security of the island. Epigs argument was that just a few days ago someone tried to kill him. Jaramillo jumps in with the fact that someone is always looking to kill them. Miguel tells him that it doesn’t justify his actions. Epig claims it does because it could have been one of them. Pierro (Italian Guy) says that if things continue like this, everything will be a disaster, and the Serbian says that the rules have to be the same for everyone. Miguel tells everyone that they are there to resolve something much more important. Sergei (Russian) asks when they are going to stop wasting their time with security checks, and Miguel answers, right now. Before they go back to the meeting Miguel confers with Ishiro about the infiltrator. Ishiro tells him it is under control. Miguel and Adela exchange a nod, not sure what they were referring too.

El Dragón #57, 12/19/10: Stuck On A Rock Which Is Still A Hell Of A Hard Place To Locate


Parte 1~~

  • Miguel greets the Italian Mafioso Dude who was in on the original negotiations with Valentin.  Mig tells him that Italy was key and has been keeping up their end.  He's pleased but adds that it's a shame the man who introduced them couldn't be there to share the success, but that's what happens to traitors.  Italian Mafioso Dude suddenly feels like the proverbial long tailed cat caught in a room full o' rockin' chairs.  He clarifies Val made his own decisions.  Mig pats him on the back of the head.  "--Don't worry.  I don't consider you a traitor; I never trusted you to begin with." He turns his back to Italian Mafioso Dude.  "--Time to set sites on a new horizon and bring about new ways of accomplishing our goals."  IMD starts to add to the conversation but Ishiro tells him it's time to go.  Head Samurai has dismissed you, dude.

El Dragon #55, 12/17/19: The Great Escape and a Business Expansion


We open with the getaway from the prison being apparently stopped. But Peligros and Ishiro open the doors of the van and Braulio must be hidden or underneath, because he isn’t anywhere visible. Satisfied, the guards let them leave through the gates. The prison warden and a couple others want to know why they let the van leave. So they send out an APB for the van. Meanwhile, they are ditching the van and Adela has met them with another car. However, there is a helicopter above them, so she diverts to an underground garage. Peligros wants to know what is going on and she tells him, “trust me” and “have some patience.” They pull up next to a blue sports car (a corvette?) and she pulls out of the underground garage. They make it to their destination where Braulio’s family waits for him in an SUV.

They explain to Braulio that they work for Miguel Garza. Ishiro also explains what happened to Hector and that Hector is in the hospital. Ishiro also gives Braulio a wristband device that can locate him anyplace. They will get in touch with him when they need him to testify. Braulio leaves with his family. Then Peligros, Ishiro, and Adela get into a silver truck and leave.

El Dragón #53, 12/13/19: The Slippery Slope


Good evening my patio peeps, hopefully this evening's episode is fast and painless. After last week, I had to take a much needed break from this story, after recapping such a dark episode, I needed a breather. So I spent the entirety of this afternoon catching up on the weeks episodes to bring myself up to speed in the story. We left off with poor Hector laying shot on the floor, Chisca, maybe having an epiphany after realizing what a wreck her life is, Dora, going rogue and trying to take back El Salado, Kenia dumping Jorge because her past caught up with her, and finally Adela and Miguel are together. Rosario having been instructed to move all of Adela’s things into Miguel’s room. Now…onto Friday night.

El Dragon #52, 12/12/19: From One Threat To Another (Working)


  • Pilar and Kenia meet at their corner cantina to discuss Abdull's return from the [should be] dead and his essentially telling her she's got to hide him at her apartment.  That's a grave (you should pardon the pun) danger to Jorge who she's decided, per Pilar's advice, should be sent packing.
  • Ishiro and Chisca are watching movies together in her sick room at the manse.  Roario walks in and starts gabbing about how Dora just left the place, bag in hand, without telling anyone --and in a snit.  Ishi makes a mental note of this.  Rosi leaves before he lets Miguel's preparations for moving Adela up to the level of serious marriage material out of the bag.

El Dragón #51, 12/11/19: Destiny Is Master


It was a killer 24 hrs., but Chisca is now out of danger and being readied for the flight back to Mexico is the gist of Jorge and Miguel's conversation.  Jorge will get all the medical equipment for her recovery at home and hire a nursing service and 2 docs to live at the house during her recovery.  They cannot enjoy the luxury of a clinic as whoever was behind all the mayhem might find her and attack them all again.  Jorge takes the time here to apologize for keeping quiet about Valentin; the dude never squared with him.  Mig says it's his fault since the guy was his best buddy and did all of this right under his nose.  However, he's back in the samurai saddle and from here on out he'll have the blinders off.  (Pardon the mixed metaphor--if there is one here.)
