La Candidata Martes 8/8/17 Chapter 41: Mario Explodes In Front of Cecelia


Chapter 41: Mario Explodes In Front of Cecelia

The world has very little love to offer. I often think that some people actively avoid it because they see weakness in it. The weakness is in their inability to be strong in the face of real adversity, when those they love are threatened. They push them away in the name of power or social position. The smart ones who make this mistake live to regret this while the others are content with shallow satisfactions achieved through nefarious plots. The political forum is the main arena for this.
D.D.

Omar entered the bedroom suddenly, catching Marcia on her cell phone. She ended the call quickly and told him she was talking to her mother. She sarcastically asked whether that was forbidden. Strangely, he did not snatch the phone out of her hand to examine it. She left the room.

La Candidata 8.7.17 Chapter 40: Omar Orders Mario's Death

Alonso wonders who bought the diamond bracelet as Mauro explains that the purchase was recent and it was done at a store they have credit with. Magda offers to call the store as Mauro and Alonso discuss how to best handle the situation with the media. Magda comes back and reveals that Emiliano bought the bracelet. Alonso immediately assumes it was for Cecelia and asks Magda if she knew. Magda had no idea and Mauro reiterates that they need an explanation since the charge was made to Alonso’s government. Alonso reminds him that it is now his government and promises to go talk to Emiliano as they handle the press. They both look at him for a second and Alonso orders them to get moving. Once alone, he calls Cecelia and asks her where she is. She tells him that she is being a babysitter, as requested, and Alonso tells her that he is on his way to talk to her and orders her to get rid of Emiliano. He hangs up.

Moments later, Cecelia wakes Emiliano and asks him to leave because she has a meeting. He doesn’t mind staying but she orders him to leave, pronto.

Here is the recap, courtesy of RGVChick:

Scenes combined for continuity. 

Memories in italics.

Milton Loses the Piranha

Estela is still in the apartment with Milton, aka Pablo. She can’t seem to find the corkscrew and offers to take it to him later…she just needs to know his apartment number. Milton pretends not to remember the apartment number since he just moved in. Starting to be suspicious, Estela tells him to ask the neighbor in front. Estela sees that Milton is tongue-tied and thinks it’s obvious that he doesn’t even live in the apartment building; so, she asks Milton to leave. Once Milton leaves, Estela looks around wondering what she did with her glass.

La candidata Friday 8/4/17 Chapter 39: Teresa Will Ruin Gerardo's Life--OR--Isela Fights for Her Own--OR--Ximena Confronts "No Exit"

Regina's office-- The interview from hell goes on. Regina takes and explains the photos by saying that it is common for senators to get together to discuss policy issues. Regina sees the real problem being the interviewer's intention with asking about the photos. The next thing she knows the interviewer is asking about the relationship Regina had with Gerardo way back in college. At this point, Gerardo is watching the interview in his office and Teresa is watching and even baiting Regina as she sits in her kitchen. Regina considers Gerardo a friend and a person with whom she shares the same political values. The next tactic the interviewer uses is saying that Regina had presented herself as a defender of women along with the support of her husband and son until this change. "What change?" asks Regina. She goes on about being a dedicated mother always concerned about her son. Whoopsie: She hasn't mentioned her husband. The next question is if Regina is getting a divorce. Regina tries to skirt the issue saying that that is her private life. The interviewer explains that when she is running for president that is no longer true. The people want to know. A very tired but still pleasant Regina explains that divorce is an option for couples that cannot find another way to solve their problems. Cecilia is watching, too, and smiles at that comment. Regina continues that before getting to that decision, couples must exhaust all possibilities to try to solve their problems. The final question is if she Regina is personally in favor of divorce as a last resort. Regina answers that she is. Alonso is watching in his car and tells his driver that his wife just sunk herself all on her own.

La Candidata 08/03/2017, Capítulo 38; Nayeli leads Ximena to a Trap

Regina and Gerardo go on with their conversation on whether or not they want to be together. Regina thinks they have everything against them. He moves in for the kiss, but she pulls back…

At the San Roman-Barcenas house, Cecelia debriefs the remaining two “girls” telling them that none of that has happened and sends them off. Emiliano is crying like a baby in the corner. Cecelia tells him, “Do you know what you did? Do you know what happened?” Emiliano says, “Another girl has died because of me.” Cecelia tells him that this is not like what happened with Florencia. Emi says, “But I was really just trying to be cool. I never thought anything like this would happen,” Emi cries. “Well it did happen”, says Cecelia. “And now we have Alma who is dead now. But now, what we have to do is get rid of her body.” Emi looks up at her in disbelief. Cecelia says she is going to call his father and pulls out her phone. “No!” says Emi. “You can’t do that!”
Cecelia says, “I don’t think you understand! This horrific thing has just happened in the Governor’s home…no…the home of the next President of Mexico!” She slaps him and calls Alonso. Alonso says to her, “So did you finally get rid of the prostitutes?” Then Cecelia tells him that there was an “accident” and one of them died at his house.

La Doble Vida de Estela Carrillo (LDVDEC) 8.3.17 Episodes 61 & 62

Hey everyone and welcome! Below are 61 and 62, courtesy of myself and RGV Chick :) Enjoy!

Episode 61: Queen Pillow Top Loses Her Baby Bump

Tadeo confesses that he made the decision to save her life over her baby’s. Leticia is shocked.

At the ranch, Ryan doesn’t care about the new information Estela found out about but he does know that she met Danilo and they have a lot to talk about regarding him. Estela doesn’t let him talk but confesses that she knows Laura’s baby can also be Danilo’s and wants to know if they can trust her because she was taken aback when she found out it. Ryan nods and confesses that Danilo raped Laura and that is why the baby could be his. Either way, he would prefer not to broach that subject for now. Estela agrees but she was thinking about how different their lives would be if she would’ve never left and stood up to her father. She also thinks Mercy should’ve have kept quiet about her relationship with Pedro. Ryan sighs deeply and Estela takes the hint to stop talking but explains that she sees everything from the outside looking in and it just wasn’t right what Mercy did. She then kisses Ryan good night, on the cheek, and leaves as Laura arrives. She bids Estela good night and then goes to Ryan. He asks if it bothers her that Estela is living with them but Laura shakes her head. She realizes that she needs time to get back on her feet and she knows it won’t be forever. Ryan thanks her and then tells her that he has to go see Mercy. Laura is surprised that he is going at such a late hour but Ryan is quiet.

La Candidata, 8/2/2017 Chapter 37: Teresa is pregnant! (Or one death, two bombs and a baby)


At Alonso’s office he asks Omar what he has done with Lorena Sanchez, Omar explains that they just took her in order to get all the incriminating evidence she has on them. Alonso seems appalled (only because he didn’t think of it himself). Since Alonso resists the idea of doing something to Larreta, Omar says “forget about it” a la Donnie Brasco  he will take care of Larreta himself.
Alonso says “you will not do anything” and Omar responds that Alonso will not tell him how to handle his business.  Mauro interjects that they should find solutions instead of arguing. Alonso agrees, and surprisingly so does Omar. He says that the campaign is going to hell and it’s all because Alonso could not control Regina. Especially because she found out about the other woman (well at least about one of the women). Alonso says that “this is precisely why they can’t make Lorena disappear, Regina would be the first to suspect” Alonso then says that they think carefully what they are going to do next.

La Candidata Jueves, 8/1/17 Chapter 36: Gerardo or Your Family


Vice is nice but incest is best” could have been Caligula's motto; now it appears to be Cecelia's., thanks to her mother, the Agrippinilla of our tale. One can only imagine what her parents had been like for her to push her own daughter into something as perverse as this. Caligula and Nero would be proud of her.
  • D.D.

Chapter Thirty-Six: Gerardo or Your Family

Regina looked inside Cecelia's home and from the door saw Emiliano in only his briefs. She ordered him to get dressed immediately because she was bringing him home. He refused. She told him to get dressed so she could speak with Cecelia. He backsassed her by saying that things were fine until she showed up. Cecelia demanded to know what this was about and told her she would not be threatened in her own home. Emiliano said they were busy. Regina got tough with Emiliano and ordered him to get dressed so she could talk with Cecelia. He insisted that they talk in front of him.

La Doble Vida de Estela Carrillo, #57 - 58, Mon Jul 31 2017: One Wedding and Three Murders

#57 Daughters and Mothers and Others

Mercy tells Paloma to keep a secret. Rosario asks whats that? We're just playing. Mercy gives Paloma an earring and says to guard the secret treasure. Rosario apologizes to Mercy for misjudging her. (Not so fast, Rosario.) Mercy says Joe will take Rosario to do some paperwork for her visa.

Dani the genius figured Laura was pregnant because Ryan was worried about her getting hit, and because he figures there must be a reason she told Ryan about the rape. She says he has a good head for bad things, and a bad head for good things. She says yes, she's pregnant, but she knows it's not his because she went to the doctor right afterwards. And good thing too, because otherwise she'd have had to, well, it's better if she doesn't say.

Leticia and Tadeo are arguing about the usual. She's sure he didn't "get it" from his coworkers because they're all machos, but she'll find out where it came from. She'll watch him. Tadeo doesn't want her spying on him.

Maria comes home in a bad mood. Leticia meddling in her affairs at school didn't do her any good. Tadeo says Leticia should leave both of them alone.

Leticia says she doesn't want to screw things up with Maria's friends. Suddenly Maria wants to do homework. Leticia wants to know if that boy was Maria's boyfriend and why can't she meet him? Maria says they already broke up. He's got a bunch of girlfriends. Leticia asks if she had sex with him.

La Candidata 7.31.17 Chapter 35: Cecelia Begins Her Revenge Against Regina

Regina tells Alonso that she is no longer scared of his threats because she now knows who he is. Alonso warns her that she doesn’t know what he is capable of but Regina reminds him that he doesn’t know what she is capable of either and declares that she will beat him. He wonders how because she’s young, and a woman, but asks if maybe Gerardo is her endgame though he notes that Gerardo won’t win either because he’s a loser. Alonso then declares that she is no one but his wife and therefore has no power to win. Regina reminds him that the people know the truth but Alonso explains that the people are easily manipulated and will believe anything they tell him. Regina reminds him that the people have woken up to corrupt politicians like him and will make the right decision. Alonso sighs and tells her that she doesn’t have the resources to win, especially because he will make it his personal mission to destroy her. Regina asks if he hates her so much but Alonso shakes his head and tells her that the people will hate her because he will make sure she loses everything she holds dear. Regina warns him to leave her family, and Emiliano, out of this, but Alonso laughs it off. He tells her that Emiliano will never forgive her for what she did with Gerardo but Regina reminds him that he did the exact same thing. He moves closer other and Regina asks if he’s so cowardly to hit her too. Alonso warns her not to cross the line but Regina confesses that she expected him to act exactly like he is acting. Alonso holds back and tells her that she is also nothing special, she is just his wife. He leaves and Regina breaks down crying.

Here is the recap, courtesy of RGVChick:

Scenes combined for continuity.

Casualties of the Battle

Back at the Cabrera battlefield, Laura tells Ryan that Mercy is demanding to exercise her rights to keep Paloma. Mercy, still angry, ensures Laura that she will fight tooth and nail for Paloma…she can’t let her go, but Laura insists that, whether she likes it or not, no one will separate her from Paloma. Mercy responds that she’d better prepare to live in her house for the rest of her life, because Paloma will not leave there. As Joe manages to pull Mercy away and in to the house, Ryan guides Laura to go sit down so she can calm down. Laura never thought this would happen with his mother, but Ryan points out that Mercy has been spending a lot of time with Paloma and has gotten very attached to her. He reassures Laura that Joe will talk some sense into Mercy, but is also worried that his mother is very agitated. He tells Laura that he needs to go check on her, but will be back shortly. As Ryan leaves, Rosario comes to check on Laura. As she is telling Laura that she left Paloma with Rita, Laura buckles over as she starts experiencing stomach pains.

Laura (since her real ID is out?) tells Joe about the agenda and he is sure that she can get released if they give the DA a bigger fish to fry like Mr. Blake. Laura knows going into Blake’s house to look for the agenda is dangerous but she would do it, if she were out.

Some time later, at Furia, Joe tells Ryan about the agenda and he tells Joe that they need to go and retrieve it ASAP. Joe suggests they think it over because he must have security but Ryan reminds him that they can distract the guard and take advantage of the fact that Blake’s blind.

Cecilia is frozen with complete shock at Alonso’s cold demeanor towards her and does not move. So to show whose boss Alonso says.
“Did you not understand, or do I have to repeat myself?” of course all this was done in front of Lorena to Cecilia’s dismay. She leaves with tail between her legs. Lorena takes the opportunity to tell Alonso that Cecilia is dangerous and he should consider getting rid of her.

La candidata Friday 7/21/17 Capítulo 29: Natalia Tries to Escape/Regina: A Woman on a Mission

OR: Omar Goes Around the Bend OR: Too Much Coke and Insomnia Do Not a Pretty Cecilia Make

Cecilia's apartment--Hernán arrives at Cecilia's and in her drugged state she answers the door. He is not happy with her less than enthusiastic greeting and wants to know if this is how she treats her friends. Lifeless Cecilia has no time to fight with him and closes the door. Suddenly, she comes to life when she hears him shouting through the door that he has info on Lorena Sánchez. This time when she opens the door she is all perky. Hernán knows where Lorena lives and also that Larreta is not the only guy she is seeing. As a matter of fact, right now she is with somebody very special: the Gov. Voilà! He has a video on his phone of Alonso and Lorena having sex. Cecilia can barely look.

The hospital--It is morning and Regina and Gerardo have fallen asleep on a couch in the waiting area next to each other. They wake up and the doctor informs them that Noemí made it through the night but now she has an infection so they are running tests to see which antibiotic will work the best for her. Gerardo tells Regina that they need to be positive. Regina is worn out but does show a sign of life with a smile when she realizes that he spent the whole night with her. Gerardo wants to always be there in her arms but it is 6:00 a.m. and Regina tells him the time has come for him to get going because she needs him fighting in the senate. She cannot count on her fellow senators because they will do whatever Larreta or Alonso tells them. He will call her later. They have a quick kiss and he is gone but not soon enough. It just so happens that Mario has arrived and his first question to Regina is what was that guy Gerardo doing there. Barely hiding her annoyance. Regina pretends he asked about her mother and tells him that she made it through the night. Mario catches on and asks how his wife is. Regina adds that she now has an infection and is in isolation. Mario returns to his original question about Gerardo. Regina stands up and tells him that Gerardo came to open her eyes to what kind of a man her father is.

La Doble Vida de Estela Carrillo, #51, July 19, 2017: The Trial of The Century Continues…

Here is the recap, courtesy of RGVChick:

Scenes combined for continuity. Flashbacks in italics.

Paloma’s Perilous Plight

Laura continues her testimony. She describes her first encounter with Blake as haunting...it is engraved in her mind and she still has nightmares. When she left Mexico, she never expected to see Blake again, but he managed to find her. Luisa shoots up out of her seat and shouts that Laura is lying, after which the judge orders her to sit down or she will be removed from the courtroom. The prosecutor accuses Laura of defaming Blake, a respectable businessman…a good man who tries to help people, but the judge stops him short and tells him that they are not there to pay homage to Mr. Blake; he then asks Laura to continue. Laura starts her story, “That day a frequent client came in drunk; and he was armed.”

La Doble Vida de Estela Carrillo (LDVDEC) #50 7.18.17: The Trial of the Century Begins...

Memories are in italics.

In the police station, Laustela worries that she may also get Ryan in trouble because of her false testimony but Ryan reiterates that they and Paloma will be happy, soon. Laustela is unsure but she makes Ryan promise that Paloma will never know she was in jail or a criminal. Ryan nods.

The news of Laustela’s arrest spreads like wildfire along the entertainment media. Everyone wants to know why she has been arrested and various sources report that she is an illegal immigrant, usurped an identity and killed a man on American soil, which is why she will be tried in the US.

Danilo and Horacio hears all the reports from Danilo’s office. They are both surprised by the news and Danilo now knows why she never wanted to return to Mexico. Horacio asks if Danilo is aware of the possible implications, especially because the man she murdered was also an American citizen. Danilo shakes his head and Horacio reminds him that Furia may be investigated and the police may find out about the money laundering. Danilo doubts it as Regia turn herself in for other crimes that have nothing to do with El Dorado.

Swords are deadly, but often words are more powerful weapons than any blade. They cut more deeply and can never be unheard.
  • D.D.
Chapter Twenty-Seven: Noemi is in a Rush

Teresa got out of the car in front of her building and told the guards they didn't have to bother anymore. She knew that they were keeping an eye on her for Mario, Alonso, or both. She acted as though she did not, presenting a cheerfulness that was actually due to the scandal she had just caused, and went inside.

La Doble Vida de Estela Carrillo, #49, Mon Jul 17 2017: Throwing in the Towel

Alt title: Snake Bites Snake

Danilo is getting nervous, because BunMan's phone has been disconnected, and Marcelino's going to want his money soon. Horacio says it's time for Plan B, but Danilo protests that he never even had a Plan A. Then Dani comes up with a plan right on the spot: since El Dorado isn't watching, Dani will just take on more clients and he'll get the money that way. (There's a flaw in his logic, but I won't be a buzzkill.) Horacio says that more clients means more problems.

Genesis interrupts Danilo and Horacio's meeting to tell them that Soto died overnight. Danilo shoots a disbelieving look at Horacio, who replies with an ever-so-slight headshake.

Ryan calls Laura, who has apparently finished her cigarette over the weekend. Ryan is worried about her, and Chayo is beside herself. Laura reminds Ryan that scaring Chayo could put her health at risk, but Chayo was apparently just as scared when she didn't know what Laura was up to. Chayo doesn't approve of what Laura's doing. Laura's disappointed that Chayo isn't supporting her, knowing all that Laura's been through. Chayo yells some more until Laura hangs up.

Then Chayo argues with Ryan. Apparently, although it's okay for Chayo to disapprove of Laura's reckless behavior, it's not okay with Chayo if Ryan disapproves too! Seriously, I just got whiplash. She says that they have to have faith that when Laura cools off, she'll think with her head.

La Candidata 7.17.17 Chapter 26: Cecelia Reveals That She…(Recap Below)

Natalia thinks she arrived at the worst time but Omar chides her for showing up unexpectedly, especially because it’s his house. Natalia reminds him that it’s their house but Omar reminds her that she gave up all her rights when she left. Natalia demands Marcia leave but Omar grabs Natalia and tries to throw her out though Jose immediately stops him. Marcia opts to leave but Omar asks her to stay because Natalia disrespected their house first so she has no right to demand anything of him. Jose leads Natalia up to her room as Omar orders them to get everything of hers out of the house and never come back. Marcia tries to leave again but Omar apologizes for what happened and explains that he has nothing to do with Natalia anymore. Omar hugs and kisses Marcia as Natalia shakes her head from atop the staircase. Marcia, though Omar doesn’t notice, seems to be throwing up in her mouth.

Teresa explains that Mario helped her a long time ago and they are now friends though she had no idea that he was Emiliano’s grandfather. Mario then explains that Teresa asked him to help her find a job and Teresa tells them that she will start working in his company soon. Ximena is surprised that her mother wants to return to the workforce but seems happy enough. Mario then bids them goodnight and asks Teresa to continue their conversation tomorrow. Emiliano kisses Ximena goodbye and then leaves with Mario as Ximena tells Teresa that she’s happy for her but can’t understand why she didn’t tell her the good news sooner. Teresa wanted it to surprise and asks Ximena to not tell Gerardo tell she decides. Ximena is unsure of this request.

La doble vida de Estela Carillo, Capitulo 48 - 7/14/17 Kill them, Regia, kill them a slow and painful death!

Personal Statement: violence is never good and people need to work through their problems without pulling guns... except when they're forced into sexual slavery and the likes...

Recap courtesy of Rgv Chick (I'm just copying your first comment here, because you hit on all the important points of the show in a stellar way and as usual, time is running out on me... I did add some of my own notes in italics, but this is mainly your baby! Thank you for helping out once again!)

Odious Isidro makes it to the top of my hate list. DNA results are in and he can't wait to get Paloma so he can take Paloma back to Mexico and resell her to get more money out of her. Although Blake is hateful at least he doesn't have anything bad planned for Paloma...he has already gotten on the foster parent list so Paloma can stay with him. Between Isidreadful and Blake, we have to go with Blake, sadly. What a nightmare.
But Isidrodious won't give up on using Paloma to get more money, he hightails it over to Furia and asks to see Mercy. Luckily, Genesis tell him she is not there. Danilow makes an interception and tells him he will take her to Mercy.

La Doble Vida de Estela Carrillo (LDVDEC) #47 7.13.17: Lots of Suggestions but No Solutions

Ryan hopes one day Mercy doesn’t regret all the mistakes she’s made.

Mr. Blake doesn’t think they need Isidro anymore but it’s best to keep him close, for now. Luisa agrees, as he knows too much, but warns Mr. Blake that he could become as unpredictable and dangerous as Fausto. Mr. Blake agrees and asks Luisa to go with Isidro tomorrow for the paternity test though Luisa doubts they would give him Paloma, even if he were the father. Mr. Blake nods but thinks they could take the opportunity to give Paloma a home either way.

At her house, Joe tells Mercy that he found Isidro but he’s staying at a luxury hotel and not a rinky-dink motel, like they thought. Mercy assumes someone powerful is helping him because someone like Isidro could never afford a luxury hotel. She orders Joe to take her to see Isidro, though Joe thinks it would only complicate things. Mercy reminds him they are already complicated and storms out with Joe in tow.

La Doble Vida de Estela Carrillo, #46, Jul 12, 2017: Cat’s Outta the Bag—Run, Baby, Run!

Here is the recap, courtesy of RGVChick:

Some scenes combined for continuity. Flashbacks in italics.

LetMeBeAWidow Asks for Kids Support

At Chicano Hotel, LetMe is sitting on her bed with Maria beside her. She says a small prayer for TomAss (too late, he’s dancin’ to the devil’s tune or burnin’ to a crisp). Maria reminds LetMe that he was abusive and probably got what he deserved, but LetMeBeASaint responds that no one deserves to die in such a way. When Maria asks how and why he died, LetMe responds that they don’t know…the police told her that they found everything on him-- his wallet and money-- and they asked her if he had any enemies. Maria worries that if TomAss had enemies, they might go after LetMe. Tadeo comes into the room (quite annoyed and apparently not wanting to be there) and says, “Ok I’m here. Are you happy now?” He sees that LetMe is crying and asks her what happened, and sarcastically adds, “Who died?” LetMe tells him “Tom” and adds that she needs them with her now more than ever. Maria hugs her as Tadeo assures her that they won’t leave her.

La Doble Vida de Estela Carrillo (LDVDEC) #45 7.11.17: Speak of the Devil and He Doth Appear...

Steve wonders how he and Ryan will open the door, as there are millions of combinations they can try. Ryan goes for the faster route: one bullet for the lock and another for the keypad. He then kicks open the door and goes inside the room, gun drawn, with Steve close behind.

At Furia, Laustela arrives and runs into Ausencio but quickly walks away from him. Ausencio, however, won’t let sleeping dogs lie and assumes she’s pissed because her single is not even playing at the rinky dink stations while his is a hit. Laustela is taken aback and Ausencio rubs it in her face: she is in a world of men and they will never allow her to reign supreme while they stay behind. Genesis overhears the conversation from the reception area and goes to see what the ruckus is about as Ausencio continues his monologue: women were only put on this Earth to cook and clean and have children. Laustela tells him to go back to the 12th century but Auscenio argues that she always reacts the same, angry. Laustela tells him that if he were a man, he wouldn’t be worried about a woman taking his place but she will show him who is boss. Ausencio goes to say something but Mercy comes and demands to know what the screaming match is about.

La Doble Vida de Estela Carrillo, #44, Mon Jul 10 2017: Unwelcome Guests

La Regia is doing an interview at a radio station. Someone calls in with a question. Laura doesn't recognize his voice. (The captions say it's BunMan, but I'm not sure if that's supposed to be obvious. Laura HAS met him before.) The radio host offers to cut him off, but Laura okays the call. The caller asks who is the father of your daughter, because it's not Ryan Cabrera. The host tells the producer to cut the call. Surely this is just another one of those creeps who like to harass celebrities. But Danilo gloats to Ryan that the secret is out, and that could be bad for business.

At the Chicano hotel, La Toña and Fausto are using Nina to get to Laura, since she's the president of La Regia's fan club. Nina doesn't want any part of this plan, but Toña threatens to scar her face if she doesn't cooperate. Nina's game for that, so next Toña threatens to bring Nina's 16-year-old sister into the business. That does it.

Leticia goes to jail to see Chavalin, but he's been released and they don't know where he went. (I really don't think they're supposed to tell!) She is disappointed. She goes to the bakery, but it's locked up and there's no one inside. She slips a note under the door.

La Candidata 7.10.17 Chapter 25: Regina Puts Gerardo Against Her

Mario warns Isela to be quiet and patient as he takes care of the problem. He hangs up on her and goes into the living room to call Almiron. He looks around to make sure no one is listening and then tells Almiron that he needs his help ASAP to rescue his daughter. Noemi walks in and listens to the tail end of the conversation before asking Mario which daughter he is referring to and who he was speaking with. Mario closes his eyes and sighs.

Ignacio explains to Gerardo that he was able to spare Nayeli jail time in exchange for him burying the story about Cecelia’s connection to prostitution and the cabaret. Gerardo reiterates that he did kill the story but Ignacio shows him the news report from the morning paper. Gerardo assumes it was Rodrigo’s friend, the reporter, who did so without his knowledge but he wants to know what this has to do with Nayeli. Ignacio reminds him that favors need to be paid but Gerardo thinks this is just blackmail, pure and simple, and they should go to the police. Ignacio tells him that Nayeli will end of in prison if they do before going back inside his house.

La Candidata Capitulo 24; Thursday, July 6, 2017: Regina Confronts Cecelia


Ignacio and his daughter Nayeli come out of the police station and she’s in tears trying to explain herself and apologize. She says that the drugs were just for fun and entertainment, she really isn’t a drug addict. “I just don’t know who you are anymore”, says Ignacio. How long have you been into this? What kind of entertainment is this anyway?” “Oh Daddy, I’m so scared!” Iggy says, “Help me out here because I no longer know what to do with you.” He hugs her.

At the political event, Larreta is introducing Alonso, but Regina isn’t there yet. She is on her way, but is keeping everyone in suspense. Obviously, she doesn’t really want to be there. Shortly after Alonso takes the podium, Emiliano motions to his father that his mother is there. He escorts her in as Alonso announces her to the audience and she presents herself as the first lady to be. Gerardo is watching on TV and is very upset and throws down his remote. His secretary leaves the room after offering to do something to help. He storms out as well. Alonso goes on at the event thanking his family and talking about how he plans to fight corruption and violence in Mexico. (Yeah buddy, you are part of the problem!) The audience applauds…

Alonso tried to tell Regina that he was the man who loved her and supported her, but she told him that for some time their relationship has not worked.
All the trouble, all the pain has been your fault,” he said.
No; that isn't true.”
Is this divorce about me or for Gerardo Martínez? That imbecile is all over us, near my house, in my face at all hours. He's responsible for you forgetting your values, your principles,” he said, shaking his index finger like a scolding parent.

La Doble Vida de Estela Carrillo, #41, Tues Jul 4 2017: Uh-Oh, We're In Trouble

Laura asks Paloma to look into her eyes. Paloma can't see any evil there. They hug.

Laura tells Paloma that the lies were a trap to catch her, like the story where they try to trap the prince(ss). Laura cannot leave without Paloma. Paloma asks if a prince will rescue them. Laura says the princesses will need to unite and liberate themselves from the bad guy with the sunglasses. It's a deal, and they rub noses.

Leticia gives Ryan the envelope with the money. She begs him not to send Tomas to jail. Ryan is grateful. Leticia is confused. Ryan takes the envelope and shows it to Joe. They surmise that the money is Danilo's, and Tom must have found it in the warehouse where he works.

On the phone, Danilo tells Horacio that he didn't ask Marcelino for help with their thief. Dani will have to take care of it himself. Horacio reports that he was on his way to Tomas's, but his car broke down. And Ryan followed him. Dani is worried that Ryan will beat them to the money. He scolds Horacio for telling Asdrubal about the money in front of Ryan. Danilo orders Horacio to have Natividad pick up the money at Furia and take it to Morgana's show. There's a cruddy warehouse there where no one will snoop around.

Horacio asks what to do with Tomas, but Danilo has already hung up.

• Almiron orders El Cuervo to drop the gun but he refuses. He now knows that it was all a trap but Almiron warns him to cooperate or he will kill him and the rest of the police will declare that it was in self-defense. Cuervo obliges and Almiron chides him for killing a reporter, which is a serious offense in Mexico. He then orders his men to grab him and put him in the car.
• Emiliano, drugged out of his mind, tries to make out with Ximena but she pushes him away and goes to leave. Nayeli asks her not to, as things are about to heat up, but Ximena warns her that she could go to jail if something happens to Emiliano thanks to all the drugs she’s given him. She then storms out as Nayeli laughs.
• On the car ride back to the Senate, Daniela warns Regina that something is not adding up regarding Mario’s clandestine witness protection program. Regina tells her that it could be something so secret she doesn’t know about but promises to find out more. Daniela then receives a call from someone and answers immediately.

OR: Alonso Suddenly Becomes Befuddled When Trying to Define "wife beater" OR: Magda--the Monkey in the Middle-- Reveals Herself to Be the Snake in the Grass She Is

Action at the Government offices--

Cecilia questions Lorena her about her politics, studies and preparation so she can use the info to start introducing her to the public via the press. Lorena throws a wrench in the works: she is not sure she will be accepting the position. Lorena is surprised to find out that Cecilia knew that Larreta was not in favor of her taking the position and that the info had come via the Gov. Cecilia knows that Lorena and Larreta are lovers. Lorena rightly concludes that the reason for her being offered the position was just a ploy from the Gov to get to Larreta. Cecilia then launches into a pep talk telling Lorena it does not matter why she was offered the position but that she should take it for herself; consider it a reward because she has earned it. Who knows about Larreta? He could trade her in for a newer model any day. She should not turn the position down and then later be sorry for her decision. Later, Lorena gives Larreta the bad news that she is going to do something for herself. She will be accepting the Gov's offer. She does not care how this affects him. By the way, she would do anything to get that job.

La Candidata Thursday 6/29/17 Chapter 19: Alonso Confronts Gerardo….in the Last 5 Minutes

Regina arrives at the office with her ear still reverberating with Alonso’s insinuations that Gerardo, promising to support her law is just using it to separate the two of them. She gets an update from Daniela on the resignation of De La Garza and Gerardo’s statements in the press. Daniela is worried that it might affect her image. Regina says there will always be scandals. What she really wants to know is if they can trust her friend (Andrés) on the police force. Daniela says they can. Regina will call Sra. Galindo and Dani can call her pal.
 
Omar shows up at the governor’s office. He tells Magda she must never speak of what happened the night before to Alonso or to anyone else OR else…He’ll take care Natalia never says anything and Magda must make sure Dr. Contreras never says anything either. Magda says to his face that she can’t believe he attacked his wife so savagely—he could have killed her. Omar muses that she might find herself in the same situation.
 
Alonso opens the door from his office to reveal the lovely décolleté Lorena, her interview over and a cabinet position in her purse. She’s glowing with pride. Magda shows her out and Omar goes in to talk to his son. He tells Alonso he thinks Magda is too old to continue in her job. He repeats this several times, to Alonso’s skepticism, remembering his mother yesterday, wondering why that museum piece, Magda was still in his employ.

La Doble Vida de Estela Carrillo, #39, Thurs Jun 29 2017: It's Worse

The guys at the restaurant who wouldn't talk to Emerson are more forthcoming with Ryan and Steve. Emerson is understandably disgruntled, but now they know that La Regia has been going around with Mr Green, who is running for mayor. They rush off to her next event.

Laura sings a song about the brave Latinos who leave their home and loved ones to look for something better. "We are all verses of a single song." She tries to follow up with a motivational speech, but Blake has Luisa cut the mic. Luisa tells the crowd there's a technical problem, then leads Regia off the stage by the elbow. The crowd is chanting "La Regia! La Regia!"

Steve, Emerson, and Ryan have a hard time getting near the venue because of the protesters picketing outside. They ditch the car and proceed on foot, but while cutting through an alley they run into someone that one of them previously had a rumble with, but I'm not sure who or when. Maybe it's the guy who harassed Genesis at the bar? He has his friends with him this time, so they brawl. It is very violent. Ryan fights like a Power Ranger, but the bad guy corners him and pulls a knife.

But then some angry Latinos show up and chase the "Yankees" away. The angry Latinos were on their way to demonstrate at Green's campaign event. Ryan's ready to go with them. Oh no! Emerson's been stabbed. But he still wants to go rescue Estela. Ryan must really be wound up, because he doesn't even think to argue with him. (And Steve is mad because he used his belt to fight one of the bad guys, and the bad guy took off with Steve's belt.)

La Doble Vida de Estela Carrillo, #38, Weds Jun 28 2017: Sold Out

Blake tells Laura that Paloma is the best way to hurt her. He calls for Luisa. Laura knocks him down. Luisa pulls hm out of there, and he says that Laura and Paloma will pay.

Mercy (still wearing that hat indoors) disapproves of Ryan being out of the hospital and trying to help Estela. He asks Mercy to call the lawyers who worked on his case (for killing Pedro Carrillo) to track down Rosario's sister.

Mercy is worried that Ryan is too weak to fight the bad guys. Ryan says that Steve and "someone else" is helping him.

Ryan's "someone else" is Danilo, but Danilo is reluctant to help - until Ryan says that they've got Paloma too. Then Danilo is on board with going to El Dorado - except that he has to pretend that Ryan is forcing him.

Laura tries all the usual ways to get out of the room. In the bathroom, she pries a towel bar loose, but Luisa is waiting for her. Their battle is extremely brief. Laura loses. Luisa calls "Johnson" for some "medicine." (Perhaps she means Johnson & Johnson. Hah! I kill me.) Luisa expresses a desire to [bleep] Laura's pretty face. She gives Laura a shot, and Laura goes to sleep.

La Doble Vida de Estela Carrillo, #37, Tues Jun 27 2017: The Butterfly Effect

Danilo's Russian Roulette game is a dud. Natividad urges him to call it a night.

Blake meets with Senator Wolverine, er, Senator Logan, who assures him that the Justice Department will leave Furia alone in exchange for El Dorado's generous campaign contribution. Logan suggests that Blake leverage his entrepreneurial success into a run for Mayor. His blindness will work in his favor, and he'll improve the party's image. (I hate to ask which party this is.) Logan thinks that if Blake becomes Mayor, he can get Logan closer to the Governor and important people all over the US. (Sounds like Logan is a state senator, not a US senator, but he should still already have access to the guv'na.) Blake agrees to go for it. Logan says he will have to figure out how to win the Latino vote. (These two guys realize they're speaking Spanish, right?)

Joe meets with Chavalin in jail. Sounds like the police have found evidence against Chava, which will complicate his defense. Joe assures Chava that Estela asks about him every day. (She must be doing that during commercial breaks.) Chava says Estela has never visited him in jail.

Paloma, Rosario, and Paloma prepare to move out of the ranch. Danilo objects, mostly out of concern for Paloma. He offers to move out instead. She can have the ranch as payment for being La Regia. (Paloma asks if Ryan will be moving in. No, but she can ride the horse someday.)

On the phone, Blake tells BunMan that the charges against Furia will disappear. In return, Blake has a request that takes BunMan by surprise.

La Candidata Martes, 6/27/17 Chapter 18: Alonso's Attempt to Win Regina Back


Politics does make strange bedfellows and a lot of dangerous liasons.
  • D.D.
Chapter Eighteen: Alonso's Attempt to Win Regina Back

Alonso marched into his office, complaining that he was alone. Magda followed him, telling him he was not.
You have Cecelia. She's loyal. She's efficient. She plays on your side.”
Alonso looked up, but Natalia's arrival stopped him saying anything had he been inclined.
Good afternoon,” she said.
Magda gave her a cold look and got a dismissive one in return.
Leave us,” Natalia whispered. Magda obeyed.
Hello, Mother,” said Alonso as Magda left the office and closed the door.
Yes, your mother is now becoming a museum piece.”
Don't talk trash about Father, please.”
Don't tell me you're going to defend your father's actions against my lover.”
Ex-lover. It's better we don't talk about that, isn't it?”
You're right,” she said, not agreeing but not wanting more conflict than necessary. “Totally. I'm condemned by your father. That man wants to think he's the exemplary husband but in reality.... I don't want to talk about this. As soon as you've made your bid for the Presidency I will separate from your father.”

Parte 1~
El Presidente Electo de Sinesterra folds like a wet dollar bill at the thought of being extradited to the U.S.  He’ll turn state’s evidence and cooperate—just noooooo don’t send me to the big bad north!!!!!
DEADave now gives Yolanda the 411 on Estela’s stellar sacrifice: “—she gave her life for me? (Sob) And yes, I have a lot to pardon her for but, I will.”  Yoli also has a few questions for Dave.  “What will happen between you and me when the rest of us are hiding in the U.S.?”  Dave takes a convenient call on his cell.  Sinesterra gave the hideout location (?) for John and says there’s a meeting of the cupola tomorrow in Tres Fuegos.  He sent a text with the time and directions  and got it confirmed. I didn’t catch the rest except it’s under strict confidentiality and the Feds will be waiting to extradite maybe the others to the U.S. (?)

La Candidata Capítulo 17; Monday, June 26, 2017: Regina Rejects Gerardo’s Love

At the hospital, Regina continues to grill her father Mario about his involvement with this healthcare scandal. He tries to pin it on Omar and says, “It’s just business.” Then she asks him about Cecelia. “Who is Cecelia, really Dad?” His machines start going faster and Mario starts getting more uncomfortable. The doctor comes in to scold Regina and ask her to leave because Mario is prohibited from having visitors because he is much too weak to handle any kind of stress. Reluctantly, she leaves his room.

La Doble Vida de Estela Carrillo, #36, Monday Jun 26 2017: A Pocketful of Ryan

Estela thinks she and Ryan need to break up in order to survive, and tells him not to make it even more difficult. He tries to get out of his hospital bed, but she begs him not to and says she loves him.

La Toña is still at Blake's place. She's tied up and wearing a gag, but Blake tells her he knows she's the one who tried to have Laura whacked. He understands why, but he reserves to right to be the one who gets revenge. He promises that he'll make Laura suffer until she begs for death. (He strokes Toña's hair creepily throughout this speech.) Unfortunately, Toña will have to wait here until he's done.

Luisa interrupts to tell Blake that La Regia is going to be on live TV. This is their chance to find Laura! They hurry out of the room where Toña is being kept. Toña struggles against the ropes binding her hands behind the chair.

La Piloto #79 6-23-17: Estela La Bella Gives All; Col. Humpty Dumpty And El Presidente Presumpty, Have Their Great Fall; And Zulima Gets Away After All

Kirby had some excellent pointers I'd thought Anita had put up also which I wanted to at least give credit for but I didn't see them to add in or to credit for Thursday, 6/21...   --ed.

Parte 1~~

Yolanda’s hiding under a bed in someone’s cell in the cell block where the lights have gone off.  Meanwhile crooked guard gal is telling the inmates they’ve experienced a power failure in some areas of the prison and must stay in the main area till things are sorted out.
Col. Santa Maria isn’t quite sure where she’s hiding but is certain she’s there and he’ll find her.  “—You have to admit I’ve shown plenty of patience with you.  (Maybe his twin in another parallel universe, but not after that branding iron trick of his.) If you’d only behaved the way you should have we could have been the perfect couple and gone off to Venezuela together.”

La doble vida de Estela Carillo, #35 Friday, 6/23/17 Everybody wants a piece of Estela Carillo

Estela reads the note that Ryan got from El Dorado: they want his Furia shares and for him to break up with Estela
Ryan says he will NEVER leave Laura. She is forced to acknowledge that thanks to ED he is alive. But why would ED want to stand between the two of them? Wanting access to Furia is one thing, but why are they targeted as a couple? Ryan thinks that his brother might be involved, but Laura doubts it. Nevertheless, Ryan thinks that she should stay away from him.
Laura is thinking about talking directly with ED. Ryan thinks this is a situation that men should handle (huh?), but she is sure that women are strong, too. After all, the person who tried to kill her and hurt him was a woman, La Tona. Ryan asks for the truth once again. So Laura tells him how she used to work for La Tona as a prostitute. She believed Fausto's lies, but he just left her in La Tona's hands. The first few months Osiel used to beat her every day, but after a while she managed to convince them that she was Ok with her situation, even if she was broken inside. She remembers how at one point she wanted to call her aunt but La Tona told her that the old lady was dead. When Laura cried she was just handed over to some random guy.
Ryan is crying as Laura is talking. She tried to tell him once, at the restaurant. He is sorry she had to talk about the past, and he thinks Fausto is Paloma's dad. She denies it and wants to go. He asks her to come back, kisses her hand and says how sorry he feels for everything. She quiets him with a kiss.

La Candidata Capitulo 16; Thursday, June 22, 2017: Pacheco Investigates Cecelia

At the Martinez home, while Emiliano and Ximena are making out on the sofa, the nurse comes running in to tell Ximena that her mother is out of control. Emiliano decides this is a good time to leave.

Gerardo and Regina are sharing a tender moment together and they move in for the kiss---which does not happen because Regina moves away and says she can’t do this. Gerardo says, “Don’t you want me to kiss you?” Regina says, “Yes I do, but the problem is, I can’t do it this way. I need to resolve the problems in my own life.”

Gerardo’s phone ring. It’s Ximena calling to tell him it’s an emergency with her mother. She’s going crazy, asking for Gerardo, and the nurse can’t seem to get her under control. She asks her dad to come home right away and he agrees. Ximena and Teresa hug and Teresa starts to calm down.

La Doble Vida de Estela Carrillo #34, 6-22-17, Ryan loses a round in the Cartel Tournament of Roses; Calao is out, QEPD

Anita, here, substituting for Alfredo, so he can enjoy his vacation away from the confusing life of Doble Agent Estela—oops, sorry, not a spy thriller. Actually, it should be called the Triple Life of Estela Carrillo or even the Quadruple Life of Estela Carrillo, most of which we know nothing about and are learning nothing much. Laura Oviedo is another case in point. She is also a mystery woman--with a child. A mystery so great there are people out there trying to kill her. So she hides with the new personna (with papers) of Estela Carrillo. This identity is beginning to unravel and though she takes the stage name of La Regia, no one is fooled by that little twist. In fact she’s in further danger since she, her voice, the gossip and scandal surrounding her are now front and center.

Part 1 of 3…Some scenes combined for the sake of continuity.
Assassination Attempt
A laser is trained on the middle of Ryan’s forehead as he starts his car in the Furia parking garage. Either the laser, the shooter or his van are off target and Ryan ends up shot in his abdomen (Miracle #1). The van takes off and Ryan falls out of his car. Security comes running calling for an ambulance, stat. (Miracle #2).

The Abused Covers for the Abuser with the Magic Word “Baby”
Tad, Maria and Lett’s duffle bags are packed and on the floor in the middle of Tom’s spacious living room floor. Apparently Tad has persuaded his mother to flee the house of her now escalating abusive husband (in name only, except for one time, cause she’s pregnant). Tom returns and demands to know what is going on. Lett tells him they are leaving him.

La Piloto #77 6-21-17: Yolanda was--is--still--in Peril

Dear Alfredo--Hope you are having a wonderful time. Wish you were here, instead of me.

Although I watched the episode last night, there's not much I can remember without a re-run (which I might do later).

I remember Yolanda being reunited with the baby--she gave him Arley's name (I think).
I remember John showing Sonia some horses and her getting a phone call from Sinesterra. She urges peace among all the rival factions.
I remember seeing a lot of mothers with babies all about the same age. Is it something in the water?
I remember Yolanda not having maternal instincts and the warden noticing she didn't know how to burp a baby.
I remember DEADave not being successful in getting immunity or some kind of protection for Yoli and the gang and not wanting to tell Yoli, but decides to go visit.
I remember Yolanda holding baby Arley and having some flashbacks.

La Candidata, Miercoles, 6/21/17 Chapter 15: Gerardo's Lie

At Ignacio’s house Regina explains to Alonso that she was going to call him as soon as she figured out what was going on. Alonso makes a snarky remark about how she called Gerardo instead of him. He then addresses Ignacio and says “give me my son or I will have my guards handle this issue” Gerardo tries to let level heads prevail and asks Ignacio to give Emi back to Alonso and Regina, and to go take care of his daughter instead.
Noemi is at an isolated area, without a car and is freaking out trying to call Regina.
Now in Alonso’s car, Regina is pleading to Alonso to take Emi to the hospital since they don’t know what type of drugs he consumed. Like always Alonso dismisses Regina’s concerns says that Emi is fine and “just look at him he is sleeping like a baby and is clueless as to the turmoil he has caused”. They continue to argue about what is best for Emi, Regina wants to continue to overprotect and Alonso want’s the hands off approach (yin yang).

La Doble Vida de Estela Carrillo, #33, Weds Jun 21 2017: The Fast and the Furias

Danilo taunts Ryan, "Now you've lost two Estelas." Danilo and Laura do a press conference. Dani shows off Laura's ring and says blah blah blah. Laura looks like she has a bug in her mouth, but if she opens her mouth a bomb will go off.

Steve tries to apologize to Genesis, but she says it's too late now - it's been a month. So now we know her statute of limitations.

Another Furia artist named Ausencio Granados grouses to Morgana that the press is more interested in gossip than in music. Morgana brags.

Milton comes along and has plenty of questions. Morgana is eager to answer, but the questions are for Ausencio. Oh holy crap, her boobs are almost up to her chin. I mean... I get that she's trying to maximize, but there is a limit. She warms up her voice hilariously.

Milton asks Ausencio some pointed questions about his narcos corridos (gangster ballads). Ausencio is evasive. He says sure he knows some Salgados, but they're not THE Salgados, they're just some guys from Guadalajara. He says he's got a bone to pick with La Regia for challenging him about his songs. This inspires Ryan with a great idea to end all of this forever. (Great! So, like, just five more episodes left, correct??)

So La Regia faces off with Ausencio in front of cameras, and they have a debate about the ethics of glorifying narcos, the false virtue of machismo, etc. Eventually Ausencio says something obnoxious that I don't catch, but it's something in the general category of "do you talk that way to your husband," and La Regia slaps him. (Just a regular slap, not a bitch slap. Unfortunately.) Danilo revels in the press's attention.

Tadeo invites Valdo to the house. Tom went to San Bernardino to see about a job and will probably come home drunk. No one else is home. Tadeo says he and Maria got accepted by a school and will start in a few days. Tadeo is nervous around Valdo.

La Piloto #76 6-20-17: Yolanda is--was--is--in Peril

Our dear Alfredo is on vacation and has left a big hole in coverage for the next two weeks. Most of the days will have to be filled in by viewers. Anita will be back after she sees the episode. She did not like the previews from Monday night and decided not to watch last night (thank goodness).

Highlights--
Yolanda meets S&M on a lonely country road. The nurse and "Santiago baby" are in the back seat.

Mama Estela and Arley are hot on the trail.

S&M makes her drive to the latest Lucio hideout (which we now know is an abandoned school--huh?) He tells Zuli to watch the nurse and the baby until he decides what to do with them.

He hangs her up and fires up a brazier. He takes off his coat and gets busy. He looks hungry, maybe it's a barbecue.

Arley goes in and makes Estela stay put. Estela doesn't stay put.
