Parte 1~~  with apologies to Robert Burns.....

La Usurpadora - Capitulo 22 - The land that laws of physics have abandoned

It’s four episodes from the end and we can tell by the supersonic speed we are moving at! So the writers tried to do something clever today and keep us guessing through the whole episode, but since we are smarter than that and saw right through the trick, we’ll just work their mystery reveals in a bit earlier.

We open with Miguel getting shot by a dart and falling to the ground in Columbia. Three masked men pick up and carry him off.

Hector and Claudia go through the contents of Natalia’s locker. They find variouss things, a USB flash drive and a passport with her picture and another name. They wonder what someone who was a secretary was doing with a false passport. They decide that there is only run reason, she had the false identity so she could run away. As they leave, Hector says to Claudia, “Let’s go my love.”

In Madrid, Chisca and Valentín are drinking in a bar. Chisca says, “Well it’s too bad that you are separated from your wife.” But Valentín says, “I don’t think so. It’s something to celebrate and toast to.” They talk some more and Chisca says she is not the little girl he once knew. He agrees that it’s been many years. She tells him that it was him that opened her eyes to the world. She mentions how glad she is that he was her first, but then is recalling how he raped her. He says that time was one of the best experiences of his life. [What a sicko.] They order more thinks and toast to the past and the present.

La Usurpadora - Capitulo 21 - What you won't do for love...or revenge.

Paulina and Carlos continue their conversation. He wants her to know that what he feels is real, but Paulina is very confused. She admits that she can’t say that she has no feelings for him, but also doesn’t know if she has feelings for Facundo. What she does know is that her mom asked her to forgive Paola, and she can’t let Facundo put her in jail. There must be other ways to help Paola, says Paulina. (Not sure help is where they are going with the incarceration, dear…) Carlos seems on board with the plan of leniency, if possible.

El Dragon #10, 10/11/19: An Auction, A Hospital and Madrid…Oh My!



It’s Friday night ladies and gentlemen and we left Peligros last night in peligro. Epig, had managed to figure out enough about what Miguel was doing to steal his money. He may not be the dumbest thug around, but his impatience and impulsiveness make it seem otherwise. He is so sure that Miguel is going to fail and at the same time won’t stop attempting against his life or his plans. Doesn’t sound like the actions of a sure man to me. So what is Miguel to do? Jimena is bidding at the auction and as of this moment, the money to bid with is gone.

Tonight’s episode picks up right where we left off with Miguel trying to call out to Peligros in the middle of the auction, and keep his cover at the same time.  On a side note, for someone trying to pull his family into the legal side of the business, he seems to have an extremely good understanding of how to operate on the dirty side. Shell companies, money laundering, hacking, blackmail…and Miguel is supposed to be the good guy? Just saying…

El Dragón #9, 10/10/19: Ready, Set, Go, Or You Bet Your Life!



As we begin we note Miguel remembering his meeting with the members of The Garza Gang 2.0: "--You all know what you have to do."  Hacker Team tinkles the keys at top speed, careful to check each and every screen's speedy DOSsed lines of program and......"DONE!"  Jimena dons a black wig.  "No mistakes, no raising of suspicions.... "  Peligros and Sr. Advisor dig up buried bags of bills, American.  Sr. A. gripes it isn't Euros.  Peligros says he's only following orders.  (Purposely over-inflated Euros don't work in the U.S. of A. dumbs!t.  Most of N.America insists on using good ol' American greenbacks,  as the writers should know.  Or when in Rome.....)

Adela drives Mig to an apartment building where Mr. Pol-Carlos-- lives.  Mig receives the financial information (tributario) he needs to negate one of his possible competitors. The first is La Muralla who always gets what he sets his sights on.  His contact is expecting Mig's call.  Carlos wants to re-emphasize that he's being pressured by his associate/s (Who? Oh.  His one associate: Epigemio?).  They stand to lose everything if this venture fails.  Mig assures him with the report he's been given nobody will lose a centavo.

El Dragón #8, 10/9/19: Missions Impossibles Or New Tricks For His Trade


As the elevator doors begin to close two guns from Sergei's goons manage to poke through.  Miguel and Karina are looking at cooked goose dinner--theirs--but Mig has hidden talents he was taught in the orient and plies them now.  Both goons (lookin' like midget versions of fans leftover from an '80's ZZ Top concert) are taken by surprise (not to mention dreamy crispy creamy Karina) as he two-hand triple throws them (is that a judo term?) upside down and out and onto the floor long enough to escape them and Sergei, and to meet up with Adela in the parking garage as planned.  They drive to have their lunch with Ruso numero uno -Alexi?--after all.    Alexi is totally down with Miguel's operation and they seal the deal over Mexican pizza and vodka shots?

La Usurpadora - Capitulo 18 - Booze and Drugs and a Funeral

Paola is still asking Olga to say her name when the episode starts, but she turns it around quite drastically by the end, channeling her inner Maleficent. She instructs Tina to proceed with the funeral arrangements and tells her that she will contact Paulina. Naturally not only is that a lie, but she also calls Manuel to tell him of the news and orders him to prevent Paulina from finding out. At her command he tells Paulina that Olga and Paola left the city for a while and are incommunicado. For some unknown reason Paulina, who spent the better part of the episode looking for a cell phone (there seems to be a shortage of those in their residence) to call home and then dialing non-stop, seems to have believed him. Additionally looks like no one questioned Manuel’s giant black eye, so Mexico must be lenient on such things in Presidential households.
