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
me the truth,” Ámbar said. “Tell me.”

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.

Cuna de Lobos, Capitulo 11 Lunes 11/4/19: My Cup Boileth Over
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.

El Dragón #24, 10/31/19: Only Coal For His Stocking and Pig Gets A Mocking
Upon discovery, Miguel manages to find the colored wrapping for the efedrin packs (?) as he makes a run through the back and apparently places his brown ball cap on some other unsuspecting worker so that Tacho accuses him of screwing around and not listening. Mig secretly is able to contact Peligros and tell him to go buy a few things they'll need now.
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.
