El Dragón #23, 10/30/19: We Was Robbed!
Miguel gets the call from the head of El Salado's northern region (Z????) who's always got a phrase of English to show his roots. "We was robbed!! They stole our boats! Right from under our noses!!" (Time to get your 2nd head back behind the zipper.)
The two regional heads meet with Mig to complain and say it was his idea and if he can't put a stop to this kind of "in your face" theft of merchandise --then get out of our way, and we will! As far as the regional capos see it Mig had a crap plan and it failed. They already lost half their men in the big shoot out rescuing Dora, now this! Bullets is the only way to rid ourselves of this traitor! The two heads believe it was Epigmenio but Mig says they all could have been sold out by their own men. Mig promises he'll determine first if it was their own men or others who helped pull this off. He'll get it back. He's a man of his word.

Cuna de Lobos, Capítulo 8 Wed. 10/30/19: Never Say Never--OR--Ámbar Returns
It is evening and Leonora is visited by a driver with a car. He gives her a card with a message: "I need to see you." She asks if Alejandro is okay. The driver's only response is that he is there to drive her. He suggests she put something else on because it is cold outside. She looks at the card and wonders what is going on.
Evidently Alejandro isn't waiting for her yet because he is clothed and drunk sitting on the floor of a shower getting soaked. Catalina appears, pulls him out and asks him what he is doing. He admits to being drunk and angry because he feels like he is being suffocated. Catalina thinks it is all because of Miguel. Alejandro doesn't agree. It is all about him and feeling that he is just another piece on her chess board. She tries to take his wet shirt off which just enrages him more. She cuts that off quickly with a slap across his face telling him to shut up and to get dressed.

Discussion, 10/30/19: Fabrica de Sueños, Televisa's Failure?
The
excellent La Usurpadora and the much-anticipated Cuna
de Lobos were part of a Televisa initiative to present lavish
25-episode productions of past classics by the network. What
mystifies me is the reason behind some of these, as I have seen most
of them. The Wikipedia page listed the rest of them in this order:

El Dragón #22, 10/29/19: More Treachery, More Murder
Hector
continues his conversation with Cuña and finds out from him that impunity
reigns and justice does not exist. He says, “The real mafiosos are the
politicians.”
Chisca
comes barging into Miguel’s office and Miriam tries to stop her. But Miguel
tells Miriam not to worry and allows her to leave the office. Chisca, however,
is throwing a temper tantrum with Miguel about her not being able to get a ride
to Cuidad Jimenez via Peligros. He tells her that he knows she is into drugs
and she needs rehab. She just gets angrier and tells him she is just as much a
boss as he is and that he fancies himself as some sort of Mexican James Bond,
with his Geishas and Samurais. She storms out.
Meanwhile,
in Cuidad Jimenez, Hector goes to see his politician friend. He tells his
friend he knows that Epigmenio is behind all this bloodshed. Hector wants to
verify if Carlos Duarte is behind Epigmenio Moncada, but his politician friend
starts getting hot under the collar and tells Hector to put a lid on it because
it’s such a great risk to him. He tells Hector, “Mr. Bernal, you are toying
with something very dangerous and it will always come out badly. I regret
telling you the truth. Now please leave.” He shows Hector the door and opens it
for him to leave.

Cuna de Lobos, Capitulo 7 Martes 10/29/19: Alibis
Alibis
are interesting things. Most people invent them when they are unable
– or unwilling – to keep a social commitment. Others need them
to cover lies. Smart criminals save the best ones for when they
kill.– D.D.
Catalina
and Diego were going over communication statuses of their suppliers
when Francisco entered her office. She closed her computer and asked
whether he had heard from Ámbar.
“No.
I just spoke to Vega; she's still ignoring me. What worries me is I
don't know if I have the right to insist she return my call. I don't
know.”

El Dragón #21, 10/28/19: Show Me the Money
Miguel
had stripped off his shirt and was having some nooky with Jimena in
his glass office. Adela watched briefly through a glass door, then
walked away.
Dora
sat in the house and Peligros came back telling her that the job was
done. She was relieved. He missed being on a ranch; the city wasn't
really his thing. He said something about how Miguel really didn't
need protection but Dora said that even Miguel has weaknesses.

Cuna de Lobos, Capitulo 6 Lunes 10/28/19: Pictures Tell Many Tales
They
say a picture is worth a thousand words. I've worked for magazines
and television long enough to know how much power they have. They
serve many purposes: They are plans, art, memories, flirtation
fodder, evidence, bait, and they can also be deadly weapons. In the
digital age they are even more powerful in all these capacities. Use
your camera wisely. – D.D.
Catalina
took Ámbar's cell phone out of the drawer and looked at the photos.
She saw the very photos that had been sent to Carlos the night she
murdered him and realized they had come from Ámbar. She flew into a
rage and swept everything off her vanity table with a vicious
scream.

El Dragón #20, 10/25/19: Provoking Pacheco, Peligros and Pigmenio
Good Friday my fellow Patio Patrons. Another end of week recap of El Dragon leaves up picking up the pieces of the Pachecos as well as Hector’s car.
Why Tacho called to give Hector warning, I am not sure, as El Pig was told by Duarte to take care of him. I can only guess that the only motive here is to not yet kill off the character. However, the impression this leaves on Hector will either make him much more affable to the friendship he has with Miguel, despite his ties to the dark side, or the opposite, make him hate everything that has to do with it. We will have to wait and see.
In Ciudad Jimenez there is a meeting between Miguel and Sandro (El Jefe de los Guachos) the other gang in the area. Sandro begins with saying that he heard what happened, and that they cannot permit that kind of activity in their area. Which is when Miguel suggests they come to an agreement to protect the area as well as the transport coming in and out. Sandro asks him what he is asking in return, Miguel tells him to name a price. Sandro tells him no price, but that he wants in on the business, he has heard around that Miguel Garza pays his partners very well and wants a piece of the pie. Miguel agrees, and they have a deal.

Cuna de Lobos, Capítulo 5 Fri. 10/25/19: Ambar's One Way Ticket--OR--Catalina and the Cost of Leadership
We pick up with Catalina waking up in an empty bed the next morning. She finds Francisco trying to contact Ambar on his phone and suggests he go back home. Evidently Ambar is trying to get his attention since she wants him to feel guilty and is being successful. An irritated Francisco admits that he feels guilty and is worried Ambar might talk to his nephews. Even more he wonders how Catalina can be so cut and dried about it all.
As they leave Catalina's house, Alejandro wants to take Leonor to his jewelry business to show her around and return the ring. She wants to go to the Rodolfo Lazar lecture. He is a famous photographer and she wanted to meet him but now all of the tickets are sold out. Alejandro thinks that his mother with her influence could get her a meeting with Lazar. As they are talking, José Carlos comes out agitated looking for the car keys. Alejandro tells him they are where they always are: in the car and tells him he cannot drive in the state he is in. José Carlos gets in anyway. Leonor jumps in the passenger seat and tells him he does not have the right to put the lives of others at risk and that only he is the one who is responsible for the situation he is in and how to fix it. That gives José Carlos something to think about.

El Dragón #19, 10/24/19: In Which The Payback's Not Worth The Playback & Hec Needs a New Car
Miguel looks up from the video screen. "--Where is Ricardo (Sr. Finances)?" They ordered me to kill him, he tells Mig and Peligros. Guajolote is the traitorous dog of a messenger who Peligros wants to kill. "--It was me or him." (Hmm. Now that's something Miguel can relate to, considering his little chat-spat with Adela earlier.) "--They killed the men. I am sorry, Patrón." "--Do my business partners know?" Nope. Ok. Mig nixes Peligros and pistola since Guajo is the only one who's been inside since the takeover and knows the layout. Leave him go." Peligros growls to Guajo that he may have escaped this but he's still going to be bait. (Viewerville ponders the possibilities.)
Ade wants to help somehow but Mig finally puts his foot down. Jime wonders what's happened. After Mig walks away Ade answers her that there's been killing and it isn't about to stop soon.
Mig walks outside on his way to his private plane; they're flying to CD Jimenez. The vagrant, aka, bum who sits by the building day after day takes mental notes and Guajo must give Mig the details. He calls Tacho and gives him the news.
Back at the ranch, Old Tati brings Dora a trago of tequila and secretly cuts the ties around her writsts. Los Pacheco are feasting after the bloodbath they've just finished. They get the word that Los Garza are on the way.

Cuna de Lobos, Capítulo 4 Thurs. 10/24/19
An Anonymous contributor has graciously provided the Thursday recap. Whoever it might be, we thank AnonFri for stepping up. How about a round of virtual applause, and may this contributor not stay Anonymous too long.
Alejandro visits Leonora’s humble home that evening. He informs her he also has his own apartment and that he really doesn’t always live with his family. He’s only there now because of his mother. It seems she asks him how he’s feeling about his father’s death, and he says well.
Gélica is giving Catalina a massage. When she lowers the nightgown strap Catalina pulls the sleeve of her cover back and ends the session.
Leonora tells Alejandro she’s never met anyone who’s been on top of an elephant. He hands her his phone to show proof (was he with Jose Carlos?) She asks about his brother. Did they ever try other forms of therapy for him? Alejandro receives a phone call and Leonora gets someone at the door. Luis shows up with a paper bag. Alejandro asks if everything was resolved regarding his job. He says yes, to thank Catalina for that. Alejandro lets Luis know he mostly helped him because of Leonora.

El Dragón #18, 10/23/19: Revancha de los Pacheco Or Pacheco Payback
In the countryside of CD Jimenez at Rancho de los Garza, while Dora and her head CEO/financial advisor are working on the monthly finances or reports for the trucking business, the Pacheco posse surround the place, cut off electricity and Internet for the ranch, and summarily murder all the guerrerros/security teams they come across. ( Man, these people Dora's got working for her are such losers it's a wonder Damberto managed to survive at the head of the syndicate as long as he did.)
Meanwhile, in CDMX, aka la DF, poor Jorge, the poor little lamb, is lost. He gets bullied, beaten and rolled by a gang of young thugs. His broken processor is also stolen. So, they get away with a phone and a hunk a junk with a few pesos thrown in.

Cuna de Lobos, Capítulo 3 Wed. 10/23/19: "Monsters" --OR-- "Ay (EYE), There's The Rub"
And we continue with our twisted tale:
At Catalina's house, Gélica notices a spot of blood on Catalina's blouse. Catalina sees her staring at it and tells her that she stained it but doesn't remember how. She adds that Gélica is to throw it away because she will never be able to get the stain out. Gélica looks oddly upset as she leaves the room with the blouse in hand.
Luis is at his place (his home away from where his wife and child live) when he hears on TV that Vasco the forensic pathologist was found dead with a bullet wound to the head at the forensic facility where he worked. Luis springs into action and takes the folder from Vasco from its hiding place. Leonora is knocking at his door.
José Carlos is arrested still in his drugged stupor. The press is there to cover this event marked by alcohol, drugs and violence since he is the son of the famous businessman the late Carlos Larios.
