Weekend Discussion 11/23/19: Karmageddon for the Reptiles of Cuna de Lobos
I
have concluded that the better title for this tale would have been
Abismo de Serpientes. It would seem to me that anyone
entering the territory of Catalina Creel is as much in danger as if
he were entering Ilha da Queimada Grande. Wolves are monogamous,
social, and warm-blooded. They love their young. They are the
ancestors of and reproductively compatible with our beloved dogs.
Snakes are cold-blooded and do not care for their young. They are
also more prone to cannibalism.
We
are so close to the end due to the endless twists and turns of this
story and its unpredictability. Therefore, we have many points to
consider. As usual, we ponder the fates of this Royal Family of
Evil:
- What do you think will happen to them?
- If different, what would you prefer to have happen to them?
For
those unaware, Mexico does not have capital punishment. Do your best
to second-guess or outdo what is to come. – D.D.

Cuna de lobos, Capítulo 23 Fri. 11/22/19: Catalina's Dilemma - Is it Claustrophobia or Are the Walls Really Closing in?
This is my last recap for "Cuna de lobos" and I would like to thank Urban and AnonFri for joining me on this recapping venture and making the coverage of this novela possible. It has been a pleasure working with you both.
On to the recap:
In Sierra Leone, Vega meets with Julius and informs him at gunpoint that Julius is now working ONLY for him. He will not allow Gothier to get all of the benefits. Julius quickly agrees with a chortling Vega. Suddenly, they are both cackling together but Julius realizes the danger of the situation.
An imbibing Catalina asks Francisco what he is doing coming to see her. He expresses his sympathies about Gélica. He agrees that the "process" of finding the killer will continue because the guilty person is still free. Catalina agrees but without witnesses or evidence it will be difficult to trap her. Francisco wonders about that since that person's good luck seems to be coming to an end. Catalina thinks that could end up being dangerous for others. He informs her that he gave José Carlos all of the financial and operational records of Gothier. She does know what he is talking about, right? Catalina asks him if he wants to commit suicide, too. He answers no but does want her to know that he is capable of turning her in. She asks if he hates her that much. He wants to make a deal. He is going to turn himself into the authorities and will take the fall for all of the illegal business dealings they made together. She wants to know in exchange for what. He makes it perfectly clear. If she does not go, he will turn her in.

El Dragon #38, 11/22/19 - Whack a Mole Explosion!
Another Friday is upon us and this time with the end of, what the rest of the world will see on Netflix as the season Finale for Season 1. So I am guessing that it should be a good one. But for us, it is just another Friday night cliffhanger, thank you Univision. So let’s jump in.
First, we open with Hector. He is being tortured by Epig! Interestingly enough, Epig has done exactly what Miguel told him not to do. He is not leaving Hector alone. In the opening scene, he is holding a gun to his head telling him he needs to say his prayers because he is going to the bone yard. Epig takes a shot, but is messing with Hector. Because he doesn’t actually shoot him. He is a complete jerk, pretending to not understand why the shot didn’t kill Hector and telling him he is usually good for the third shot. Just trying to play mind games. Hector begs him to kill him. Epig tells Hector that if he opens his eyes he will put a bullet between his eyes. But Hector obviously doesn’t have that much of a death wish because he doesn’t open his eyes.

El Dragón #37, 11/21/19: Pig Makes His Bed, Victor Sticks In His Nose, Flaco Flakes, and Mig Machos Out
Epigmanio has been locked inside the restaurant's storeroom, acting more like a caged boar, squealing and roaring away, ready to gore the first big thing in sight. When Miguel appears and tells Pighe's only alive right now because he wants Pig alive. Pig screams insults at "the effiminate Japanese wanna-be" to fight him man to man. Mig opens the cage and walks off further into the narrow hallway. "--You want me, you got me."

Cuna de lobos, Capítulo 22 Thurs. 11/21/19: Gelica in Jail, Not Happy with Accommodations
This is AnonFri's LAST recap for Cuna. Let's give AnonFri a well deserved round of virtual applause for these great recaps. [Anita, who has been the gremlin posting them on the front page.]
Leonora is crying inconsolably in her jail cell. A guard calls out her name and tells her she’s free. Leonora walks one last time through the cell area and finds Luis and Jose Carlos at the end of the gates. She’s holding her clothes and trying to stifle her cry but upon hugging them, thanking them, and asking for forgiveness, she cries. She holds them together that way for a bit.
Leonora is soon outside at the Larios mansión and finds Catalina in the garden. She demands to know where her son is, but Catalina says “My grandson is with his father, as it should be. You can’t get near him.” She adds that Alejandro has full custody because she’s not capable of taking care of Edgar. Leonora claims that no judge will keep her away from her son, and when Catalina tries to hold her back from entering the home, Leonora tells her off. Alejandro walks out with Edgar in his arms and hands him over to Leonora. Catalina asks him what he’s doing, and he responds that he should have done this long ago. He offers Leonora a ride but she replies that Luis is waiting for her and she resentfully says she never wants to see him again. When she’s gone, Catalina tells Alejandro that Edgar is her grandson, this is his home and I’ll make sure that he comes back. He retorts “You’ll never change will you? You’ll never understand.”

El Dragón #36, 11/20/19: Mexican Samurai
Japan:
Miguel, Peligros, and Ishiro were with Jun, who explained that the
dispute between himself and Goro goes way back. A gang of ninjas
stalked Tadamichi and placed a motion sensor in the woods while Jun
denied killing his own right-hand man, blaming Goro for this as the
pretext for a war. Miguel saw the tattoo on Jun's hand and realized
he was lying, flashing back to a shooting inciident. Miguel put Jun
in a deadly headlock saying he will kill him himself if he kills
Tadamichi.

Cuna de lobos, Capítulo 21 Wed. 11/20/19: A Twisty Kinky Tale with a Strong Dose of Disillusionment
We pick up the story with Leonora in her cell being counseled by her "Catalina bought" public defender Figueroa. He explains how they can get her a more favorable sentence and her baby back in her custody even maybe at a minimum security prison with her confession to Miguel's murder. She wisely asks if Catalina and Alejandro can do something to thwart their efforts and the lawyer knowingly says that they cannot do anything "legally". He explains the court will act to protect the infant and that they will grant custody to whomever can assure its well-being the best. Leonora looks hopeful. He asks if they can accept the deal offered by the judge. Leonora barely nods.
At Luis's place, Alvaro sits quietly while José Carlos and Luis talk about what to do next to help Leonora. They discuss that Alvaro's testimony would have the same weight as the security guard's so they need something else. Luis is ready to tell them that Leonora was with him when Miguel died and that Alvaro had a meeting with Catalina at the building at that time.

Cuna de Lobos, Capitulo 20 Martes 11/19/19: J'accuse!
I
often wonder whether true crime programs on television – including
my own – make criminals smarter. Whether they do or not, they're
good for ratings. This one will make a great novel someday. In the
meantime it will serve as a social statement about how injustice can
sometimes be bought. – D.D.
Leonora
got her first experience of violence in the prison at roll call, when
she failed to answer. The guard nastily told her that she was to
respond when she called her name, then hit her in the stomach.

El Dragón #35, 11/19/19: Ruh Roh Scooby Do there's a war going on, but we don't know whose side we are on.
We
left with some Japanese guy caught doing something alone in a bathtub
and subsequently being punished for it. I thought it was kinda
severe, but the Japanese are different about those things. Huh? Oh
he was one of the underworld kingpins' helpers from an opposing
view. Tadamichi
tells Mr. Migster this means war. Swell fellas, keep it over there
this time.
Tadamichi
and Migs and Tad tells him to stay close to Goro, he doesn't trust
him

El Dragón #34, 11/15/19: From Pig Pen To Makin' Bacon Or All Muddy Tracks Lead to Pig
Parte 1~
We begin again with the most memorable scene this past week: Chano, QEPD, blabbing to Hector that Epimanio Moncado is the head of the new drug cartel in CD Juarez and Hector being covered in brain pulp just afterward, courtesy of Tacho and his high-powered rifle shot from numerous blocks away.
Adela, meanwhile, manages to escape the clutches of Mr. Barrio back alley thug (more of a pipsqueak who seems too winded to do much more than threaten - and why oh why does the barrio bum always determine it's something of a macho rite of passage to rape a gal from outside the neighborhood?) With a well aimed knee-knock at his chestnuts and ahop onto a conveniently parked moto of a pizza delivery girl... put, put, put--Vroooooom! She is outta there and back on her way to where-ever.

Cuna de Lobos, Capitulo 19 Lunes 11/18/19: Blood, Sweat, and Tears
Lies,
bribes, and sex as payment or manipulation are the stuff of
psychopaths. It's a good thing I never went into law enforcement
because I don't like thinking about how many people paid for crimes
they didn't commit just because the killer had money. Or were
induced into committing ones by other people with too much money.
Maybe I'll pick up a copy of Double Indemnity and send it anonymously
to Commandante Vega to shake up his world. – D.D.
Catalina
– in her usual manner when stressed, angry, or triumphant – strew
the papers on the table and threw over its top.
