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
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.
