 Just some bullet points this time, I'm typing the recap as I'm watching (and then putting scenes together, with a little bit of snark on the side).

Adriana gives up on Mario’s friendship because of JLow’s sick control over her. And then screams at him that he can't control her life. Yeah...

The happy Fabrapoodle family are waiting on the DNA results. Fab thinks Fer is a worthless whore (his exact words basically), he’s going to fight for Juanito if he's his son.

⦁ Leonardo and Elisa are stuck at the roadblock being checked by the officer in charge. "My wife doesn't need an ambulance; she has a headache because she doesn't have the medicine I left at the hotel.  We just need to get that."  Finally, we've got a cop who can relate to spousal guilt trips;  he relents and lets them pull out of the roadblock.  Lucky for Leo and El (and the telenovela gods) that in this little corner of the alternate universe Mexico's police use walkie-talkies still instead of slick cell phones or laptops with Instagram and twitter-sharing options in their cop cars......

⦁ Back at Grupo Cantu, Renata still has her funky uncky Eugenio corralled and is laying her cards on the proverbial poker table.  She's seen the report where the type of nefarious operation performed on her is discussed in glorious detail.  All she wants to know is who the heck gave them permission to do that to her.  Ewwy diverts and skirts asking if she really thinks him capable of harming her.  She is his favorite of them all and knows this.  Truly, she's been off her meds too long and needs to continue taking them.  He kisses her and hugs her as Viewerville has visions of a mafioso's last kiss to the condemned.

Time is everything. We can't buy it back or sell it and it always has the last word. – Dashiell Hammett

Leo looked at Christina with suspicion. She said “We're going to talk about Julia and Elisa, but first I want to talk about me.” He was not looking for a crash course on black widow spiders.

Leo and Elisa continue to marvel at the fantasyland their fairy godmother has created for them. 

Leo: I'm fired! Let's run away!

Elisa: Nah, let's just pretend. I'm good at that.

They get down to some serious nose-bending. I hope Renata has put out some space heaters, because these two continue to generate no BTUs whatsoever. 

Leo gives Elisa a promise ring and makes many promising promises. He seems blissfully unaware that nothing will change until she starts promising a few things, like telling the truth or maybe just paying attention. After all, he's been Steady Eddie all along. But the theme music starts kicking up, so it must be working. 

Ren and Majo are watching the scene unfold while hanging out an upstairs window. God, this family is creepy. Couldn't they just screen the surveillance video after? Ren looks touched. Majo looks constipated. 

*****

Leslie is crumpled in her bed like a wet dishrag while Tere and JL hover over her. She tearfully announces that the only thing that will make her better is her parents kissing and making up so they can all be one big dysfunctional family again. (Wait; what? Isn't that how she got so weird in the first place? Did they bring in a third set of writers while we weren't looking?) JL's phone keeps ringing, but he doesn't answer it. 

*****

Video montage with dramatic strings of all the sad girls in their pajamas: Clara crying in her room, Adri texting an unresponsive JL, Tere and Leslie asleep in her single bed, Fer whimpering on the floor. Cut to Elisa and Leo, out of their pajamas and not sad at all. At least it's not the theme song again.

 Eww defends himself in front of Fab – "Dario is the big baddie who did everything, I was only trying to fix all his porquerias, protect Elisa and the Cantus. And if you go to the police, you will ruin everything."

One flew over the cuckoo’s nest

Majo and Clara manage to get into Mau’s room by saying they’re part of his family. He is obviously sedated, wide eyes open, looking like what nightmares are made of. Majo tells him that Renata send her to check up on him. A nurse shows up with big bottles of pills for Mau. She encourages Majo to keep talking to him, because even if he looks like a catatonic contortionist, he can hear her. She’s not to worry, they are taking good care of him, even if they are short staffed. Why so, Majo asks. Because the head nurse, Estela, has died and most of the staff is at her funeral. When Majo asks, the nurse explains that Estela was mugged and killed when trying to defend herself, but it was strange, because nothing was missing (rookie mistake, art traffickers must make terrible muggers). As the nurse is talking, Mauricio gets restless, his eyes threaten to jump out of his eye sockets. The nurse remembers that Majo used to come visit another patient, so Majo admits that she lied about being part of Mau’s family. It was her sister, Renata, who asked her to come visit. The nurse doesn’t mind, she knows the two were friends. Majo asks why he’s being sedated, was there an unwanted baby inside his belly, too? No, she doesn’t say that, but it would be an honest presumption, right? The nurse explains that he tried to run away, so they are keeping him drugged in order to avoid another crisis. And that is medicine at its finest.

With an easily enraged Leonardo doing the questioning one on one in the interrogation room, Cobra, aka, Dario, manages to purposely push every single one of Leo's buttons.  He screams at Leo to hit him.  When Leo refuses, Cobra gives Leo a head butt that kicks his nemesis into high hostile gear.  Adriana and Mario have to race in to tear the two apart.  They manage to pull Leo off Cobra and out of the room.  Cobra gets his jollies threatening to sue Leo for police brutality.  

At the Cantu manse, Majo asks Elisa what will happen to Cobra.  "--They keep him in jail while they put together a case against him."  "--You think that he's going to accuse you--Sorry.  Didn't mean to...."  They agree they've got to think of a legal strategy.  Majo's all for that. She encourages El to do whatever she's got to do, shady or not, to keep from going to jail.  El only asks Majo to help take care of Renatta since Mama is a lost cause. (Hell, so is Majo.  A perfect case of the blind leading the blind.)

The fault is usually in so many lies people tell to themselves. – Dashiell Hammett

Adriana took the call about Leo trapping El Cobra. She had to tell José Luis, who was in the same room. He looked confused as she said “Let's go.”

Majo had to get Renata to calm down so that she7 would not be locked up in the loony bin again, possibly forever this time. She led her away. When they arrived home they argued about what to do next. Renata insisted that they could not wait because of what could happen to Mauricio.

Galeria Cantu

Majo and Dario snipe at each other like they just broke up at the junior prom, but Dario's way meaner and Majo walks away in tears. She calls Leo to tattle that Dar's breaking curfew, and Leo spills to Adri, who texts Elisa. (Boy, once this gang gets the lines of communication open, there's no stopping them. Has anyone even had a dead battery or been sent to voicemail? The next thing you know they'll be looking through their peepholes before they open the door!)

Majo heads straight for the bar, but she's barely into her fishbowl of plonk before she's confronted by a refreshingly lucid Renata, who tells her that won't solve any of her problems and offers her a smothering tall-sister hug instead. The advantage of this is that Majo is literally blinded, which puts her out of action for a while. 

Depa Fer

We come in on Fab in mid-rant: "My dad is a mafioso and my brother is a psycho killer and you knew the whole time! Elisa is nice and you're a selfish liar!" Fer replies that she's not selfish; quite the contrary: "I'm the only one thinking about what's between the two of us." "What WAS between the two of us," Fab replies. "We're done." He looks like he just wet the bed. 

Casa Victoria 

Eu tells Vic he got all the original medical files off the nurse's phone. Vic is aghast: "You let her LEAVE?" (What? Does she have spare bedrooms to lock up grown women who aren't her daughters?) Eu assures her it's all taken care of; any problem can be solved with...um, money. Yeah, that's it. 

She tells him they have to take care of Mau as well. Um, Vic? I don't think the two of you are using that phrase in quite the same way.

Adri reports to Leo that they found blood on the murder weapon and on the blood, they found Tere’s finger prints. To odd thing, however, is that the Harrison test resulted negative which indicates that Tere never fired a weapon. Leo responds that he will be getting a lawyer for Tere, and he will try to explain what happened to Leslie and Sara. Leo then tells Leslie that he has to leave to the precinct but Leslie wants to go with him to see her mother. Leo explains that he can’t take her and assures her that Tere was only detained and just has to give her statement. Leslie pleads that Leo tell her what is happening and Sara asks what JLouse is doing to help Tere. Leo hesitantly tells them that JLouse was the one who gave the order to detain Tere….this is going to be very difficult for JLouse, Tere was found in a motel with the man who was killed. When Leslie asks what her mother was doing in a hotel with a man, Leo of the boiled egg eyes, remains quiet. Like do you TELL her or SHOW her, yikes!
