Amar a Muerte, 3/13/19: A Post-Mortem

VALE'S VALE OF TEARS

Of all the tragic characters who have suffered greatly in this story, Valentina Carvajal is the one I suggest has suffered the most. We wish her well in whatever path her future takes her.

First she loses her mother at a very young age. As a teenager, her father decides to remarry someone about the same age as her older sister, Eva.

Vale then loses her father in a most unfortunate incident on his wedding day--right before her eyes, including the stabbing to death of the stabber by a trusted family associate. Detective Montilla grills her on her father’s associates for enemies he might have had. It just serves to rattle her further—she knows nothing of her father’s business. She takes solace in alcohol and withdraws. She is most probably clinically depressed, but no one does anything except urge her to “get out more.”

She’s basically ignored by the rest of the household. Even her interaction with Lucia is at a minimum, though congenial. Her sister Eva bullies her regularly and dismisses her contributions. She has an abusive boyfriend who "owns" her and uses her to meet his own needs.

She has her own brush with death when she falls into their swimming pool, drunk, and nearly drowns. Jacobo, the new family chauffeur saves her. This is not what the family meant by “get out more.”

Por Amar Sin Ley, Season 2 Martes 3/12/19, Gran Estreno: No Honour Among Thieves


I'm Christopher Mason. When last we met the partners and associates at Alonso Vega's firm were steeped in ugly and dangerous situations. Jaime Ponce was being held captive, Gustavo is grieving for his wife and son, Ricardo had advised his ex-wife to flee with their children, and Alonso had considered dissolving the firm. He was outvoted by his partners, all determined to fight for justice.
I'm Candace DeLong. I was an FBI profiler and I had many cases involving psychopapths and other cold-blooded criminals. No matter how they dress or what kind of cars they drive, they are the lowest form of human life and deserve to be locked away. Thanks, Christopher, for inviting my observations.
Alonso lunched with the police chief and talked about the murders of Gustavo's wife and son, looking for assistance in some way. Also about the kidnappng of Jaime Ponce, all because he refused to represent Jacinto Dorantes. He was told that the department was doing everything it could. Interpol had been informed and they would be watching out in case Dorantes tried to leave the country. Alonso wasn't sure how long they could deal with this and said that they needed help. In the name of Justice.

  • Aprehensive over what comes next, Johny and Lucia walk into the living room followed by Jacobo, aka León who is ready for bear.  "--It's time that the three of us should have a talk."  Johny objects to speaking with a lowly chauffeur but Leo is ahead of him.  "--The chauffeur is outside and I am in here asking questions.  Now, there's no better time than now wouldn't you two agree?"  JC turns to Lucia and asks just what's going on here.  Lucia is temporarily suffering from lock-jaw brought on by severe panic.  "--Care to explain a bit about which one of you two orchestrated--or perhaps it was bright little Lucia who contributed to this plan."  JC starts to say "Excuse me--" but Leo cuts him off.  "--No there's nothing to excuse.  Or, well let's begin at the beginning: Wasn't it you who hired Lucia and put her at the reception desk so that she would stop me from entering simply because I didn't have a name tag [gafete]?" JC stutters and Leo repeats the question more forcefully.  "Jacobo, or Chino...or...--"  "--León!"

Amar a Muerte, 3/7/19, Episode 85: Watch Out Kiddies—Daddy’s Back

To bring you up to date with our main transmigrated souls, here is a quick overview of Leon Carvajal and Macario, El Chino, Valdes, followed by Thursday night's highlights.

León Carvajal/Macario El Chino Valdés/Jacobo Reyes/Leónchi/LCJ/León
At the top of his game, León Carvajal, this scion of a successful media conglomerate, with a beautiful young trophy wife, two adult children and one nearly ready to fledge, is stabbed to death on his wedding day. End of story.

No, as prepared as he was to manage a large and diverse company with foreign business ties, meetings, daily reports, ratings, fiscal bottom lines, board of directors to head and a very public face, he finds himself in a world he merely reported on from the comfort of an executive suite. A handsome new and younger body is the least of this transmigrant’s problems.

He is dirty, smelly, in the hands of not so nice prison personnel. He’s being turned loose as his execution was not successful. He’s not even in his own country. Two women he does not know, claim him. He struggles to understand the unknowable. Before he can extricate himself from them and the poverty they live in, narco assassins come after him for some stash of money stolen from them and a hurricane destroys everything. He’s separated from these two who assured him his role is hired killer, suspected philanderer, husband and father, in that order.

Previously: Eva walked into the editing room and saw everyone watching the special report on HER!

Just then, Tiberio arrives and tells him that they no longer live there, they left the city. Meanwhile, in their apartment, Lupita and Juls are washing dishes as Lupita confides in Juls that she dreamed of her father…it was odd…and erotic. Juls wonders how Lupita can be having erotic dreams of her father when she saw her on the couch with Pancho. Lupita reiterates that that is why it is odd, but it is one thing she and El Chino did very well. Juls is disgusted that Lupita may still be in love with El Chino. Ha ! Everybody else is.

Johny assures her everything is well, but wonders what is going on with her since she looks so upset. Lucía doesn’t know whether to call it a miracle or craziness…Jacobo Reyes is León Carvajal! Johny smirks and wonders if she is going to continue with that nonsense; those are ideas of the common folk. Lucía swears that this is different; she just came from talking to Lupita, Jacobo’s alleged wife. Lupita confirmed it; there is a different person in her husband’s body. Johny thinks it’s something that many wives say; maybe they got together and want money or he is lying to her. Lucía also went to see Camilo who also confirmed that LCJ (León/Chino/Jacobo) is León. Johny insists that Cami is Jacobo’s friend and is defending him, Lucía points out that Cami is also a scientist with an impeccable reputation; they call this transmigration of souls.

Amar a Muerte, 3/1/19, Episode 81: So Hard To Believe?


In the darkened theater, Lucia tells Jacobo, aka León, that what he's telling her is impossible.  How could he expect her to believe such a cruel thing?  Jacón replies that he's asked himself a thousand times the same thing.  She insists León died in her arms and she herself saw him buried.  Now he expects her to believe he was [like Dios] brought back and arose three days later?  "--NOT three days later--it was the same day!"  She accuses him of playing a disgusting trick on her.  He mentions things the two of them alone would have share: the origamis birds because she felt jailed and wanted to fly away; the dinner in Paris where she learned to eat snails; and the tea they had in Japan served by a geisha.  "--Come closer, Lucia.  I know that it is strange.  The body is Chino Valdez but the soul is my own.  I am León Carvajal.  It's name is transmigration of souls and that's what happened to me the day of my death."

Johny speaks to one of the security or police to trace Lucia's phone so he can "rescue her from a very dangerous man."  

Lucia races back towards the lobby telling Jacon that it's superstitious rubbish; a person dies and that's that.  He insists to her that it isn't that easy and it is something he had to come to terms with and accept.  She insists he's lying to her and is NOT Leon because he loved her and wouldn't dare pull something so nasty on her.  He already admitted he hates her.  He declares that he finally understood he had to accept it all when he watched his widow and his former right hand man and best friend discussing how they had planned his murder.  "--So how did you divine that?  He yells back that he didn't have to.  He viewed it all through the cameras he had placed throughout the entire house and watched it from that secret room they discovered a few days back.  One of those cameras was placed in her studio.  "--And shall I relay to you what happened next?  Because I have the time to!!"  "--I am not going to play your little game!!"  She races out into the street just as Johny pulls up.  She gets in and tells Johny to floor it.

Amar a Muerte, 2/27/2019, Episode 79: Gypsies in the Castles, can Candy, Loopy and Juls get a place together?



Previously: Lucía told Candela to pack her things and leave. Vale asked Juls if she had sex with Sergio. LCJ went to see Mateo to talk to him about Eva, he thinks Eva was being coerced into the money laundering business. Mateo gave him a shocker when he told LCJ that Eva was also doing the horizontal mambo with Alacrán.

LCJ (León/Chino/Jacobo) doesn’t believe it, but Mateo assures him that he saw it with his own eyes. LCJ wants to know what Mateo heard, so Mateo tells him that Eva told Alacrán that if he died, she wanted to die too because she loves him. LCJ thinks Mateo must be mistaken. Mateo wishes he was mistaken, his whole life has been a lie…his marriage…and now he doesn’t even know if the child Eva is having is his. LCJ wants Mateo to talk to her so she can explain, but Mateo knows she will continue lying. He had already asked her about the money laundering and all she did was lie to his face. Mateo can’t trust her, what he has to do is go to the newspaper and publish his report….if they won’t do it, he’ll go to the competition. LCJ heatedly tells Mateo to calm down, the baby might be his and they could be blackmailing Eva. Mateo retorts, “Oh, yeah! They put a gun to her head so that she could be rolling around with that criminal! That’s what happened! Enough! I have to bring her down, that’s what I need to do!” LCJ yells that what he needs to do is not act on impulse. Mateo gets his laptop and starts to leave, but LCJ blocks his way.

She mentions that things are very complicated for her and tells him that her husband Gabriel died of a heart attack. The doctor tells her that she can call him anytime. She brings the baby home and tells Linda and her mother that the baby is fine and that tomorrow she will bring all the babies in for their vaccinations. Hermoso is there and he jumps on the bed nearly on top of the baby. [Something tells me this really was a blooper because the dog nearly jumped on the baby, but actress playing Daniela handled it very well.]

Amar a Muerte, 2/26/2019, Episode 78: A Hard Fall from Grace



Eva arrives at Alacrán’s hideout and is patted down before she enters to see Alacrán. After she and the goons enter, Mateo cautiously comes out from the side of the building. He doesn’t dare go inside, but finds a scaffolding leading up to the second floor and starts his way up.

At Barb’s house, LCJ (León/Chino/Jacobo) laughs as he teases Camilo for trying to be a jokester in his old age since he is trying to make him believe that his daughter is laundering money for the Cartel de los Sierra. Cami chides LCJ for thinking that he would go there just to say jokes so that LCJ can have a good time. When Cami tells LCJ that Mateo went to his house, LCJ asks him to tell him exactly what Mateo said.  Mateo told Cami something very serious—the Carvajal Group is involved in money laundering. Cami asks LCJ to think about who heads the company if not Eva. LCJ thinks that the idea that his daughter is laundering money in the company that he built is crazy. Cami asserts that Mateo arrived at his house and he has evidence. This is a critical situation since LCJ has been marked as a sicario. LCJ wants to go talk to Mateo so Mateo can explain it to him, but Cami tells him he can’t; Cami is there so LCJ can tell him what he needs to do.

Mi marido tiene más familia Monday 2/25/19 Capítulo 114 Calling Out Those Who Play the Victim--OR--Guido On a Roll

Grecia and Neto decide that they both can depend on each other.  He recognizes that she has said a lot and he is there to listen.  She thinks that it would be lovely if Eugenio were his father. Eugenio is a great man just like Neto.

Nonno is thinking back on the Guido drama when he gets a call from Imelda. She says in spite of everything that happened, they need to talk. Nonno nods on the other end.

Diana awakens the depressed "Tornado" aka Hugo. She has to tell him something very important.

Pancho apologizes if he did something to insult the Korean investors. One of the men is interested in trying some "mezcal de pechuga" (just one of the many varieties of mezcal: in this kind a raw chicken or turkey breast "pechuga" is steamed in the distillation process which adds a special flavor to the alcohol) that Pancho is offering them.  As they head into another room, Susana asks Pancho not to imitate them. Pancho insists he was not disrespecting them.  He adds with a  little mezcal, they will relax and she can do business with them.

Amar A Muerte, 2/22/19, Episode 76: Goons And Gálans To The Rescue

Parte 1~~

 So, via Lucia's directive, the news gets out. Guillermo's stint in jail gets publicized nationwide with a sympathetic slant  (natch):  "--The young heir to the Carvajal news empire hoping to fashion his own road to success fell victim to a youthful and spirited horseplay which turned into a tragic accident.  As one can see (and of course, the liquor store owner and his wife just happen to be in the audience), the young man was not aware of what was about to occur and once he saw what his friend intended, he tried to avoid the gun play but the bullet went astray and tragedy struck.  Now all of Mexico is on the edge of their seat wondering what his fate will be."  Mrs. Liquorstore Owner angrily calls the news broadcast manipulative--and she ain't wrong.  Mr. Liquorstore Owner is thinking things over and seems to have a different twist on it all.

A bit later in the day, Valentina races into Montilla's office asking him to rescue Juliana from the same men who once kidnapped her mother.  He says he'll try but ain't promisin' nuthin'.  She races back out in a snitfit.

Amar a Muerte, 2/20/2019, Episode 75: DRAT, Now where did I put dem bullets?



Previously: Lucía asked Camilo if he thought she and Johny were León’s murderers.
Camilo laughs it off and assures Lucía that he could never think she would commit such a crime. When Lucía asks about Johny, Cami confesses that he thinks Johny is terribly wicked, calculating, and a game player, if Jacobo accuses him there must be a good reason. Cami adds that that is a conversation that Johny and Jacobo should have, it’s not any of Cami's business. Lucía asks Cami not to be a hypocrite, he is good friends, and probably an accomplice, with Jacobo and surely, Jacobo has told him that they had a relationship. Cami remarks that Jacobo is the problem. Lucía gets annoyed and asks what it is they want…do they want to drive her crazy? Cami denies wanting to make her crazy and reiterates that Jacobo is the one that needs to have that conversation with her.

At Beltrino’s house, Alicia watches one of Beltrán’s lectures where he presents information on Plato and his theory that purports the passing of certain psychic abilities from body to body after death. She continues to listen as a woman in the audience, Micaela Robles, affirms that the transmigration of souls does exist…because she is a transmigrant. Alicia is shocked, but writes down the name.

At Barb’s house, Barb has microwaved something for León since her cooking is a joke. She asks LCJ to tell her more about Vale and Juls, but LCJ doesn’t think he needs to go into detail. Barb cackles as she thinks about the face Beltrino will make when he finds out. LCJ scoldes her for laughing and asks if she thinks that this is really funny, Barb admits that it is, but she doesn’t think it’s a coincidence…it’s destiny. LCJ and Beltrino were meant to meet through the transmigration of their souls or through their daughters…or maybe one thing happened so that the other might occur. LCJ agrees that there has to be a purpose for all of this…maybe so that he can help Betrino save his daughter, but there has to be something more.

Linda starts to react saying that none of this was necessary. She had been to the doctor already and wasn't infected. The family starts to pile on. Blanca says "Thank God" but that does not take away from the fact that she COULD have been infected. Eugenio reminds her that this shows that Linda wasn't taking care of herself. Imelda adds that the case could be that Linda was having sex with several different people. Linda  loses it and screams that it wasn't like that.  Furthermore, her private life is her private life.  Why does Imelda want to control everything? Imelda never should have looked at her phone in the first place. She invaded her privacy. Imelda guesses it was with her cousin, right?

At the Carvajal house, Mateo is sporting a big smile as he thanks Eva. He can’t wait to see her stomach grow and feel the small kicks. He wonders if it will be a boy or girl…and has a list of names to choose from. He wants the baby to have her eyes and smile. They will be three now. He won’t be getting up during the night and can just imagine how cranky Eva will be. When he sees that she is not as enthused as he is, Mateo assumes it’s because of her family and tells her to let it go; it’s not her responsibility to fix everything that happens in that house. Eva assures Mateo that she will be happy, but she needs time. After Mateo leaves, Eva cries in anger and hits her stomach with the pillow. Ah, sweet Motherhood.

Amar A Muerte, 2/15/19, Episode 72: They Can't Handle The Truth Or In Need Of A Few Good Believers


Parte 1~~

While Guillermo thinks back over and over again to his careless adventure at the liquor store, Dr. Camilo Guerra ponders his sleepless night and the mysterious, mystical events of the day before.  He and his housekeeper worry that members of La Sierra Cartel will return there in their search for El Chino.

El Alacran is planning on doing just that and says to Gancho, "--The old doctor doesn't have any idea of what's waiting for him!"

Lupita comments to Panchito that she's wondering where her poor daughter slept last night.  Could something have happened to her.  Panch tells Lupi not to worry, that the girl is old enough to take care of herself now.  (Viewerville thinks that should anybody attempt anything with Juliana, that nasty, rude and thankless bitch, it's them that need to be careful!)  Perla calls to inform Lupi that Jules slept there last night and is working there with her.  Panchito says let her alone for a while but Lupi will go to check on Jules without him.

Alicia is still having difficulty believing the tale Beltran, aka El Chino Valdez, has told her.  He recalls to her the different doctors, fortune tellers, shamans and witchdoctors he's gone to trying to learn how and why he was brought back from the dead and put into her husbands dead body.  All his strange disappearances, he admits, have been due to meeting these people and his looking for answers.

Valentina reaches out to Jules via text.

León, aka Jacobo, and Cam discuss the supposed "grave robbing" of the night before.  Jake admits digging up the grave but insists the body was not in the coffin to begin with.  Somebody must be walking around in his body somewhere!

Susana calls Dani and tells her about her wedding predicament. Can she help her out? Dani takes one look at the babies and decides she could use more money. Yes! She can help Susana out. Susana is relieved.

Neto lectures his kids that the end never justifies the means because everything can get so quickly out of control.

Guido is still very upset back at the distillery. Luigi tries to calm him down saying it was only a prank. They are only children. Guido insists they could have killed him. He blames it all on the dog.

Pancho tells his kids that he thought they had all learned their lesson with the fireworks incident. Julio insists this was different. Pancho disagrees and explains it is all the same.

Yolo thinks the prank was just an eye for an eye. Neto says that is how everyone ends up blind. He explains that you fix things by talking to people.

Pancho says somebody has to put a stop to this all of this and if they won't,  he will.

She explains how perfectly happy Arquis is living with her and Ari and that her mother in law is behind all of this because she is so closed minded and prejudiced. She also explains how hard she is working to support them and even taking the 2nd job selling juices.

At Grecia’s office, she questions Eugenio on why he thinks that Ernesto could be his son. He finally tells her that he can’t quite explain, that it’s a matter of what he feels in his heart.

While Blanca is cooking, Daniela comes running in asking for help with diaper changes. Then Daniela asks Blanca what is wrong and “Are you and Papá still arguing?” “No” says Blanca, “I’ve decided to preserve the peace here and hoping that the ‘first love’ stays in the past.”

At Barb’s house, Cami is on the phone with Mercedes who tells him, in a panic, about Alacrán and his goons coming in and ransacking the place. Cami tries to calm her down and tells her that the important thing is that nothing happened to her. After he ends the call, Cami turns to LCJ and tells him that it is confirmed…they destroyed everything. After LCJ apologizes, Cami assures him that they are in this together. LCJ is leery about Beltrino and Barb, so he tells Cami that he will leave first and Cami can follow afterwards. Barb is happy that they are leaving so her things won’t get destroyed too, but Beltrino insists that this is the safest place on the planet for LCJ. He tells Barb to let LCJ stay until the Doc can figure out a way to help them so he can get his body back. When Cami comments that he cannot help Beltrino with that, Beltrino suggests that Barb summon Death so she can speak to the Doc.

Cami stresses that he is a scientist and abides by certain rules. Beltrino points out that there are no rules in this area…Cami should have figured that out already. He continues that Cami is the person who is most versed in that room, maybe he can interpret what Death tells Barb…they can ask Death how they can resolve this. Cami questions if he can really talk to Death, so Beltrino clarifies that Barb will be the one to talk to Death. Beltrino sits Barb down and orders her to summon Death…maybe they can ask their questions through her. As Cami starts to insist that he cannot help them, they all feel a presence…and Death Chick looks Cami straight in the eye and doesn’t look happy.

We begin with Neto on the phone with Arturo who has just been able to go inside Neto’s Miami home. He tells Neto that the place has been emptied out, as if burglars came in and took everything. There are few things left, some clothes, and other miscellaneous items, but mostly everything is gone, even the computers and the children’s laptops. While he is on the phone, Guido rudely interrupts and says, “I want to see you now!”  He asks Guido to please wait because he is on an important phone call regarding the property he left behind in Miami. Guido agrees to wait. Guido is not happy about Neto’s report that the mescal is watered down. Artura says he will send whatever is left to him. Then Neto tells his children the bad news.

At Barb’s house, LCJ (León/Chino/Jacobo) and Beltrino sit down for a chat as they stare at each other. LCJ assimilates the idea that he is looking at the actual El Chino Valdez. Beltrino declares that that is his face and body; he’s been looking for him for quite some time. Since Beltrino saw him briefly at the hospital; he has not been able to sleep peacefully. LCJ realizes that is why Beltrino saved him from the narcos. Beltrino agrees; he wouldn’t want his body to leave filled with bullets. When LCJ scoffs that Beltrino is the real one they should be looking for, Beltrino tells him not to believe everything they say about him. LCJ chides Beltrino; he has no idea of the problems he has had because of him. Beltrino retorts that that was not his intention. LCJ then asks about the body that El Chino is occupying; so Beltrino tells him about being a university professor who has a family, even a dog…but a boring life; the professor died in an accident. Beltrino can’t get accustomed to talking to his body, his face that he grew up looking at every day; he grabs LCJ’s arm and demands that he give him his body! (Oh, sure, here ya go, but only if I can have my body back too!) After LCJ pulls his arm away, they both sit back to relax…NOT! Just then, Death Chick makes a bell ring (Round 1?), but as Beltrino looks, he sees no one. As they both sit up to take a good look, a black butterfly flies away…and Death Chick smiles. (There's a girl like Death Chick in every class. What she doesn't have in looks she makes up for in 'Fun Factor'.)

Amar a Muerte, 2/11/19, Episode 68: Beltran Finds His Body, But Someone Else is Using It.

Some nasty little gremlin messed up my DVR—it didn’t record the episode, so I can’t go back and see what I missed. I hope someone can help fill in the gaps or correct what I got wrong. Here goes—

* In the underground garage of the hospital, Beltrino at the wheel, orders a very weakened LCJ (León/Chino/Jacobo/Jake) into the car. LCJ hesitates momentarily. It could be someone who is still out to kill him. He’s persuaded and just then gunfire erupts everywhere. They head for the exit. Meanwhile Luci is still trying to get in to see Jacobo.  Finally, the police roll into the garage. More gunfire. El Alacrán and Gancho are in the midst of the shoot-out. Just as the Patio is holding its collective breath for Beltie and Jake to get away a car blocks them. SH*T, it’s Fabian, pointing a gun at Jake through the window. The next thing I know, he’s in the back seat still pointing a gun at Jake. He makes Beltie give him his gun and there he sits, a two-fisted gunslinger ordering them to take off. Beltie floors it.

Neto notices the expressions on Imelda's and Audifaz's faces and asks if there is something wrong with what he said.  Audi says no and Imelda says that they never heard that name before. Neto explains it is from  Nahuatl and means heart. His mother was born here is Oaxaca so this is the country of his mother and of his ancestors. He feels as if destiny has brought him back here  to start over with his children. Neto asks them again to reconsider his request.  Suddenly, Audi says he thinks they might be able to come to an agreement. Another rent coming in is never a bad thing. Imelda  smiles and says they will discuss it and get back to him.

Still at Susana's, Yolo makes herself at home next to the pool with a glass of orange juice. Grecia recognizes her bathing suit on Yolo. Yolo had nothing and wanted to go out by the pool.  Grecia tells her it would have been better if she had asked.  If she had asked her to loan her a swimsuit and sunglasses, she would have said yes.  Yolo  knows it is a loan and she will return Grecia's things later.  Grecia tries to maintain her patience. As Grecia turns to get some sunscreen, Grecia looks at her  back and sees what she thinks are stretch marks and remarks how ugly they are. Grecia is suddenly back in her head upset and crying with blood all over her repeating "I killed him." Grecia calms herself down and she tells Yolo they are not stretch marks but even it they were it would be okay because they would be something natural. Yolo remarks not on her and calls Grecia "Greasy".

  • Beltran, aka Belchin', aka El Chino actualmente, has just seen the news bit about Jacobo Reyes, Heroe Del Momento--and co-transmigrante, León Carvajal--who is now recovering at Northway Hospital; he flies out of Javier's hospital room to seek the man who is wearing his body.  Alicia and Jav are left eating his dust as usual.
  • At the same time, Johny Corona--everyone's crown of thorns in their backside--is otherwise occupied nosing around Susana's computer and trying to see if her latest composition is possibly on her screen which she's dutifully locked.  The paper's editor walks up to see if he can be of assistance.  With the ever-present contrived Corona constipational smile of obligation, Johny pretends to take Mr. Editor into his confidence.  There's some suspected extortion and they--the police--need to check Susana's computer today.  "--Keep her out of the office today while we check her computer.  Don't let on to A.N.Y.B.O.D.Y."  
  • Back on campus, Sergio tries talking to Lucho about Valentina's sad situation.  Lucho is sick to death discussing Val and her idiosyncrasies any longer.  Sergio tells him to get with it and with the times.  He should feel some sympathy for her since her gay love life has turned tragic owing to the fact that Juliana is leaving the country with Mama shortly.  (Yawn.  FF>>FF>>)

    Crisanta asks about the deportation. Yolo explains that her father had a false green card and hired other illegals in the restaurant.  Andi corrects her and says that the word is "undocumented. "  Yolo continues saying because of her father's mistake they were all deported. She and her brothers are citizens of the USA but are minors so they had to come with her father and ended up in this place. She looks around in disgust.  Crisanta can understand her being angry but Oaxaca is a beautiful place. Santi tells his sister "Yolo" that Crisanta is right. Grecia thinks of Eugenio remembering his first love Yolotl and asks Santi what he called his sister. He called her Yolo. He explains it comes from her real name Yolotl.  Grecia says that is not a common name. Grecia tries to put on her counseling hat with Neto's  kids saying that they went through an intense experience and that she understands how they are feeling. Yolo doesn't think she understands how SHE feels.  Yolo explains how they lost all of their stuff, their home,  their friends, their whole life.  Crisanta asks if their mother came with them, too. Santi is about to answer but Andi cuts him off saying that they do not know where their mother is. She left them a long time ago. Yolo makes it clear again that she hates being there.  Grecia tells her you can always start over again.

    Amar A Muerte, 2/7/2019, Episode 66: Smile, You're on Candid Camera!



    Previously: Lupita was talking to Juls about the man she saw at Vale’s house and telling Juls he was not her father. (Your Father has gone back to his home planet, Juls)

    At Silvina’s house, Lupita continues to try to convince Juls that the man she saw at Vale’s house is not her father. The man has her father’s body, but he’s not El Chino; his name is Jacobo Reyes. When Juls asks how she knows, Lupita confides that LCJ (León/Chino/Jacobo) told her when he went to drop off some things that Sra. Silvina sent them when they first moved there. They were both surprised. Juls doesn’t think that what Lupita is saying makes sense. Lupita agrees, but he finally convinced her that he wasn’t El Chino. Juls asks who he is if he isn’t El Chino. Lupita responds that all she knows is that his name is Jacobo Reyes. He treated her well and she wants to keep her promise that she won’t reveal that he isn’t El Chino. Juls reminds Lupita that El Chino is a sicario; he can make up whatever story to get into that house and do whatever they asked him to do. When Juls insists that he is lying, Lupita pleads with her not to tell Vale that her chauffeur lives in El Chino’s body. Juls definitely won’t tell Vale…because Vale will think she is crazy.
