FUGITIVAS #56 Part 1
ReplyDeleteAn annoyed Arturo interrupts Lisset’s “cleaning,” chasing her out of his office. We gleefully note though that’s it’s too late; Lisset already installed the camera! Lisset calls Sofia and tells her the camera is good to go. Sofia is on her computer and seeing the camera, tells Lisset she did a perfect job.
Sofia watches closely as Arturo opens the safe. Now, she has the combination! Lisset greets the news with a smile. Sofia watches and notes what he is harboring in the safe and calls Alejandro.
Vincente talks to his unnamed boss about Lucre, (Teo’s mother’s) situation.
Marta has been summoned to Ismael’s office. He points to his “wall of fugitvas” and asks that she work with him to try and locate them. I believe he tells her he will protect her identity. This is a very short-lived conversation. The issue is not open for discussion, as Marta immediately stands. The answer is a polite but firm nopis. (Ismael looks a bit surprised but whyever would she agree to help the police? She served her sentence and is a free woman).
As she leaves his office, Marta runs into Amanda. I can’t translate exactly what was said but Amanda tucked her fangs in and Marta was quite cool and collected; she did talk a bit about being in prison. Amanda looks like she is thinking it over as Marta leaves.
Dario and Matias talk about the fugitivas, specifically Frida.
Florencia looks at her sonogram as Vero comes barging in without knocking. She hides the picture as Vero natters on and on about Nico. Florencia says something about a scandal.
Ismael visits Patricio and tells him what happened at the meeting. “Marta?” Patricio manages to get out. He basically tells Ismael that Marta has no intention of helping the police and that they need to respect her decision. Lo siento!
Bitter pill Charo has to go out and is leaving Lisset alone, large and in charge! Hardly, but at least she is leaving the house. Lisset flies to her phone and calls Alejandro telling him the coast is clear!
Patricio calls Marta and they agree to meet for coffee.
Vincente collects art assignments from his students and is left alone with Teo. He tells him something about his mother.

FUGITIVAS #56 Part 2
ReplyDeletePatricio and Marta are seated and they talk about the fly in the ointment – Amanda. Patricio is quite charming and to my surprise and delight, the two kiss not once, but twice. They order cappuccino for her, and espresso for him. He holds her hand protectively, telling her he is only interested in that she is all right. They start sharing their feelings just as the waiter arrives, clearing his throat to let them know he is there.
Lisset greets Sofia and we next see them in Arturo’s office. Sofia takes out her notebook, punches in the combination and opens the safe. She plugs a USB into his computer to download the files as Lisset starts taking pictures of documents lifted from the safe.
A bit of tranquility as Natalia holds that adorable baby. Dario knocks and then enters. He offers her and the baby his room; he will stay in Matias’ room. She declines but he nicely insists. She tells him how generous he is and he seems happy to do it. He completely ignores Frida who has been standing there the entire time.
Patricio and Marta continue their conversation. He tells her she is so interesting and that she is a marvelous, positive person. I can’t understand everything said but listening to his dulcet tones and hearty laughter is balm to my soul) He seems completely smitten …
At the clinic, Alejandro goes up to Charo and says hello. She answers, at first, as it takes her a minute to figure out who he is. She insults him for being asesina Lorena’s lawyer. Alejandro has some potent ammunition of his own; he gets in her face and more than hints she could also bear responsibility for Juan Pablo’s departure from this world.
Sofia find some important information on the computer as Lisset retrieves the camera from its perch on Arturo’s office’s ceiling.
Vincente finds Lucre and takes her to get some food.
As Charo starts to leave the clinic, Alejandro harasses her again and she threatens to go to the police. He wants to know what secrets she is harboring about Juan Pablo. She insists that the Marquez’ are her family. He threatens her with jail as an accomplice. After she angrily leaves, he texts Lisset she is on her way back. Sofia manages to finish downloading the computer files and the women put everything back in place before scurrying out of Arturo’s office.
Lucha is eating a Sammie as Vincente hands her a picture that Teo drew. It is a red heart with very sad eyes. Naturally, she is upset crumpling the paper and thrusting it back at him (I can’t blame her). She does have a few choice words for him after which she grabs the food and stalks off.

FUGITIVAS #56 Part 3 of 3
ReplyDelete“Hola hermosa” Nico says when Florencia calls. In no mood for love speak, she starts haranguing him about how he is treating Vero. He has to play the game; do it for me she asks. He very reluctantly agrees. He loves her. Right now, he needs to placate Vero Florencia insists. She makes kissing noises into the phone as my stomach lurches. Yuck.
Amanda asks her father where he was; he truthfully answers he was with Marta. He tries to reason with her, telling her what Marta means to him as she stares coldly, her lower lip trembling. She doesn’t say anything but it is clear she is struggling not to cry.
Alejandro calls Lorena telling her Sofia has the goods! Already she asks grinning ear to ear…I love you she manages.
Frida is at a table at the Oasis (where a sign boasts “it’s always happy hour”) writing a note when Lorena walks in. Lorena tells her where she is going hoping for good luck (fingers crossed). After, Frida is trying to find a place to leave the note, she puts it in a glass and then changing her mind, takes it out. It doesn’t show where the note ends up.
Vincente comes home and bossily takes Gabriela’s study books away from her. Later, he shares what happened today, showing her the sad heart Teo drew for his mother
Charo calls Florencia and says she saw Lorena’s lawyer. Florencia grabs her purse; she is on her way.
Alejandro goes to Sofia’s where Lorena is also headed.
Bad penny Carmen shows up looking for Dario. When she can’t find Dario in the bar, she knocks on his bedroom door and enters, finding Natalia and her baby! Incredulous, she asks Natalia who she is!
Florencia spies Lorena on the street and tells the taxi driver to let her out. Standing on the sidewalk, she yells out “Lorena Martinez”! Lorena, hearing her name, rises to the bait and turns around…
While I understood a (very) few things, for the most part, I only caught words here and there. I tried to properly convey what I thought occurred; my sincere apologies if I misinterpreted.

Juana #50 part 1of 3
ReplyDeleteJuana and Gabriel are looking at the ultrasound of their baby. Everything looks good but the baby could be premature. Gabriel tells the doctor they’re going to the United States for their safety. The baby might be born there. When they can tell the doctor where they are she can recommend a doctor.
Salvador tells the policemen to handle the body, identify it and see how long it’s been there, or dead. He wonders how Elvira knew the body was there. Pacheco asks if he thinks it’s Francisco. Tomas is watching.
Camila asks Manuel his reaction to his dad being fired. He already knew Gabriel didn’t trust his dad.
Gabriel tells Camacho the dogs have found the body. Camacho asks if they know it’s Francisco. Rogelio tells him they’ll call in experts to identify the body. They toast a job well done. Rogelio seems to think he’ll soon be back at the brewery.
Inez and Dani are talking about Gabriel leaving. Dani says he’s protecting Juana. Inez says she’ll miss him, he was the best boss. She tells Dani now that David will have his new job Dani will be his assistant. Dani doesn’t know if she wants it, but when David asks if he can count on her to help him she says yes.

Carlos plans to meet with them and tell them. Enriqueta is worried they’ll think they made the deal with someone unstable. Tomas calls and tells them the police found a body on the land.
The police are manhandling Tomas and Almita. Salvador is walking over towards them when Quiroz shows up. Salvador is holding his phone and Quiroz accuses him of helping an assassin escape. He then decides to take Tomas and Almita in for questioning, accusing them of helping Gabriel escape. Salvador’s phone rings, it’s Gabriel calling from the doctor’s office. He ignores it but then Tomas’ phone rings, he tries to ignore it but Quiroz grabs the phone, sees it’s Gabriel and answers it. Quiroz tells Gabriel they found Francisco’s body on his land. They will put pictures of him everywhere so he will be found. Gabriel says he’s being framed. Quiroz has the police take Tomas and Almita away as they protest and tell him Gabriel is a good man. Salvador says he takes the blame for Gabriel getting away. Quiroz says a professional accepts his errors. Find him. Pacheco asks Salvador if he thinks Gabriel did it. His answer, after an eye roll, was, rough translation as I’m sure it was an expression, if someone puts it right in front of you look to the side for the guilty one.
Gabriel had told Juana it will be hard to get away, the airports will be covered. Now he tells her Salvador said powerful men are behind this, probably Fiscal Quiroz. He tells her Rogelio is very dangerous. Juana doesn’t think money is that powerful, love is.

ReplyDeleteThank you, Diana, for giving us yet another excellent recap.
EXTRAS #1
Vicente's boss tells him he is not surprised by what he is telling him about Lucre. People on the street live in a constant state of alert because their situation is so unstable. That is why they reject anyone who wants to help hem. Vicente refuses to give up and will do all that he can to give Teo his mother back. The boss thinks he will accomplish that and smiles. Vicente says Lucre told him that when Teo was with her, he wouldn't stop talking. He thinks that Teo has gone mute because he is not with her.
Amanda actually admits to Marta that she had no right to interfere with her father's decision to be with her even though she doesn't agree with him going out with an ex-con. Marta tells her that she understands why she thinks like she does. She only hopes that someday Amanda can see people for who they are and not as just another file. Marta admits to having committed manslaughter and having paid for it with 18 years in prison where all she did was to try to be a better person. She wishes the now silent Amanda a good day and leaves.
Darío tells his son to not get too close to Pollito and her baby because they will have to leave. Matías still doesn't understand why they have to leave. They are all good people. His father has to explain again that they are FUGITIVAS! (The kid cannot be that stupid!) Matías brings up Frida. His father says things are over with her. Matías doesn't believe him.
Vero tells Flo how Nico told her to leave. He was tired and didn't want to go on listening to her. He never seeks her out to to spend time with her. They are novios in name only. She is going to break up with him. Flo tells her not to make decisions when she is so upset. She complained all the time to Ismael and he got fed up with her and now she is sorry. Creating scandals, anytime Vero sees Nico, is driving him away.
Vicente tells Teo to draw a picture for his mother.
Lucre is touched by the drawing but insists that her son is better off without her. Erick disagrees telling her any child is better off near their mother. She answers that she has nothing to offer him. She did when she had a job but now it is a different story. First she lost her job. She looked and looked but couldn't find another. They went walking the streets begging with no success. They barely had enough money for a piece of bread. That is why she let them take her son. This was no life for him. Ericka adds it was not life for her either. She asks him what he would know about it. Here she has her drugs to console her.
Erik adds they are also eating her brain. She makes it clear that she is in no mood for sermons!!! He goes on telling her how much Teo misses her. She doesn't want to hear what he is saying, grabs the other torta he's holding in a bag and limps away.
Gabriela tells Vicente that she is ready to resume her normal activities the next day.Vicente wants to make sure that Gabriela is feeling well enough and the swelling in her brain has gone down enough for her to return to her normal schedule. He says he will support her going back to her schedule if the doctor approves. The doctor ends up saying that she can resume her normal activities but if she gets a headache or gets tired, she needs to stop what she is doing and rest. In three weeks, she needs to go back to the hospital and get a scan to see how much the swelling in her brain has decreased. He reminds her to take her medication, too. She thanks him.

Vicente tells Gabriela about how frustrated he is with Lucre. Everything was going fine until he showed her the picture from her son. He thinks she is a lost cause. He tells her Lucre's story. Gabriela says maybe Lucre doesn't think there is a way out of her current situation. She thinks Erick should explain to Lucre about how rehab centers operate and how those places could give her a roof over her head and hot food. Vicente decides to find out more about them.
Sofía tells Alejandro that the job at Arturo's would have been much easier if the hard drive had not been encrypted. They agree that it is suspicious that Arturo would have the hard drive encrypted and locked up in a safe. Alejandro tells Sofía that Lorena is on her way over. Whatever they find on that hard drive, they are going to find it together.
Juana
ReplyDeleteLiz, thanks again. I don't understand how Elvira inherits the company shares and not Camila, unless there is a will I don't remember. I think Manuel will be the undoing of Rogelio. Also the memory card from the camera. I figured maybe that would be discovered in the packing phase for Juana.
I really like Carlos. I'm pretty sure Felipe is end game for Enriqueta, but Carlos is also a worthy beau. Ines would be a good match for him, but not enough episodes for that to happen.
Juana
DeleteAnother strange thing, how in the world can the Dr predict a premature birth at less than 3 months gestation? That just seems weird. Now if she had a previous history of early birthday it would be more likely. And who else thought it strange a Dr in Mexico could recommend an ob in the huge state of California. Oh and how does Juana happen to have a passport handy when Jenny doesn't. Was that ever explained. With the US "immigration crisis" I would think it would be difficult for them to get a Visa, especially for Juana to then have an anchor baby. But I digress....
FUGITIVAS
ReplyDeleteJarifa, thank you for shining your bright light on a pivotal episode that continues to move forward. You explained things splendidly.
"Vicente says Lucre told him that when Teo was with her, he wouldn't stop talking. He thinks that Teo has gone mute because he is not with her" was so important; thank you.
No wonder Florencia was so upset and distraught that Vero is driving Nico away (a short ride, right?? :)) Her cover will be blown!
At least Amanda isn't spewing more sewerage. For the moment.
Matias is completely in denial; he's old enough to realize the situation for what it is. He's right in that Dario isn't done with Frida, much as he would like to be.
"(Gabriela)...thinks Erick should explain to Lucre about how rehab centers operate and how those places could give her a roof over her head and hot food. Vicente decides to find out more about them". Now there's a plan!! Now all that's left is the Herculean task of convincing Lucre she can and should recover her life for herself and her son.
Jarifa, thank you so much for all you add....
Diana
Juana
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments Kat. I didn’t understand Elvira inheriting the shares either. Rogelio told Manuel since Francisco and Camila were separated his mother would get them. But Camila has that forged paper saying he gave her the shares. Rogelio is smug about everything he does, I can’t wait to see him fall. I think Juana will find the memory card eventually, and we have Manuel and the maid that planted the gun. She wasn’t happy after she did it.
Enriqueta is a better fit with Carlos, he deserves someone. But she loves Felipe, who is basically a nice guy. Everyone will be paired up except Carlos.
I thought maybe the doctor is being extra cautious because of Juana’s fall. But it does seem like there’s usually a concrete reason a baby comes early. Maybe the writers want to add a little more anxiety by making us worry about that!

FUGITIVAS #57 Part 1
ReplyDeleteDario’s very, very bad day…
Florencia spies Lorena on the street and tells the taxi driver to let her out. Standing on the sidewalk, she yells out “Lorena Martinez”! Lorena, hearing her name, rises to the bait and turns around…
Florencia yells that she is going to call the police. Lorena runs toward her and grabs the phone out of her hand screaming “nunca, nunca”. It seems Florencia accuses Lorena of taking her marido and for killing Juan Pablo. Lorena besmirches Florencia’s family and says they are guilty. She also brings up Aldo. You are crazy Florencia declares but Lorena once again grabs the phone from her.
Carmen asks Natalia (again) who she is. Is the baby Dario’s she asks? No, Natalia says the baby is her novio’s. Montse protectively swoops in, but Carmen says “pardon me” very snottily and dismissively.
As Lorena is telling Florencia she is innocent, a police car rides by. Florencia runs out into the street trying to get their attention but they don’t hear her screams and don’t stop. Lorena runs and escapes but takes out the phone chip first.
Carmen is still trying to intimidate Natalia by calling her mentirosa. Miraculously, the baby sleeps through all this. Montse strongarms Carmen and demands to know why she is there. Carmen says it’s none of her business; she wants to talk to Dario. Montse physically tries to stop her as Carmen fights back, screaming for Dario. He arrives staring asking her why she is there. She starts in on Natalia and the baby. Then, (in one of the highlights of the night) Montse spills the hot tea that Carmen is married! Further, she worked in a bar as a dancer. Finally, Carmen stole from him, that was why the cash box was always missing money. Livid, Carmen calls her loco. Who is she married to he asks Montse?
A frantic Carmen tries to explain but he recoils, telling her not to touch him. Carmen calls Montse a disgrace. Dario calls himself an imbecile and tells her to get out. Carmen follows Dario into the bar, arguing and pleading. He is particularly livid about her stealing the money. Get out he roars. Lisset enters and asks if she is interrupting. Dario tells her Carmen is married but it’s obvious she already knows that. Erick enters and Carmen tries to enlist his help but none is offered. Dario finally escorts Carmen out.
Lisset and Erick have a tiff but kiss and make up.
Diana
FUGITIVAS #57 Part 2
ReplyDeleteLorena shows up at Alejandro’s and Sofia is there. She tells them about her run in with Florencia. Alejandro seems sharp with her but then apologizes.
Florencia is home screaming at Charo about HER version of her chance encounter with Lorena Martinez! She is beside herself gesticulating wildly. Juan Pablo is one of several subjects discussed; Charo says something about manipulation and scruples.
Nico gets a text from Vero who wants to see him that night. He agrees but looks very unhappy.
Alejandro and Lorena watch as Sofia pulls up files. They found that Juan Pablo had filed a complaint against Vincente for damages to private property. We see a picture of the car that hit Gabriela (I think). Lorena now seems to be convinced that Vincente is the murderer and she needs to warn her sister!
Montse and Frida talk about Carmen. When Lisset comes in asking about Lorena, Frida says she is with Alejandro. Natalia comes in who can’t believe Dario was with such a bruja!
Dario tells Marta that not only is Carmen married but her real name is Perla. Further, she was stealing him blind! Marta ends up calming him down and they hold hands for a brief moment.
Lorena tells Lisset Vincente is the killer!!!
Dario finds the note Frida left in the wine glass. I think she professed her love but he doesn’t reciprocate, tearing the note up and throwing it away.
Nico opens his apartment door but doesn’t even look at Vero when she enters. She grabs the remote and turns off the TV. She starts in with her usual tantrum.
Diana
FUGITIVAS #57 Part 3 of 3
ReplyDeleteFlorencia visits Arturo and tells him she ran into Lorena. He wants to call the police but Florencia stops him. She knows Lorena has Juan Pablo’s phone. Knowing Lorena has evidence, Florencia begs her father to do something or everything will be over if the truth is discovered! (whatever the truth turns out to be).
Dario talks with Frida at the bar. He tells her he knows Carmen is Perla. Frida gets teary eyed as she goes back to work. Later, she cries on Montse’s shoulder who tells her to go back and talk with Dario, which she does. Or tries to. He says he’s busy but she asks for a few minutes. I couldn’t translate her story other than it sounds she did not come from a happy home. She relates that she knew Perla from her previous life.
Florencia is still flipping out as her father tells her not to worry. He kisses her on the cheek but for the first time, he actually looks worried as she leaves.
Nico demands to see Amanda. He threatens her (again), blackmailing her to do as he wants, otherwise he will tell Ismael all.
Dario greets Natalia who speaks kindly of Frida as Dario pays attention. Then her daughter cries and she leaves.
Vincente is at school talking with his boss who seemed to give him good advice.
Ismael greets Vero and lets himself into Florencia’s office. Why are you here she asks? (the huge folder in his hands should have given her a clue). He hands her the folder – it is a divorce complaint!
This was one of the most dialogue intensive episodes I’ve ever attempted to recap. My head was spinning like Linda Blair. There was so much rapid-fire conversation, I fear I would have had a difficult time even if I had understood far more than I did. I simply wasn’t able to keep up. Some of what I wrote was assumptions; I apologize for any and all inaccuracies.
Thank you to Rgv Chick who fished out my part 1 that didn’t post. TGIF!!!

Juana #51 part 1of 3
ReplyDeleteGabriel and Juana are listening to the news reports. They’re on every station. Gabriel says they knew what they were looking for, if they couldn’t kill him they would put him in jail. He knows Rogelio is behind it. Juana asks if Paula is in on it too. Gabriel says she’d rather him be in jail than happy with her. Juana says he has to hide. No one can see him.
The family are watching the news. Margarita doesn’t believe Gabriel would do something like that. Jenny agrees, but Josefina says criminals don’t always look like,e criminals. Salvador isn’t answering his phone so Jenny decides to go to him. Margaret goes to. Ramon tries to comforts Josefina. She pulls away.
Camila is thinking back to talking with Rogelio and Paula after Francisco disappears. She realizes it was Rogelio because of the shares. She looks at Francisco’s picture.
Amparo tells Manuel
Gabriel destroyed his sister’s life and now his father’s. They have to be united as a family. Manuel says what if his dad killed Francisco. Amparo doesn’t believe that. Manuel tells her Rogelio wanted Francisco’s shares.
Paula can’t believe Gabriel would kill Francisco. They were best friends. Rogelio tells her Francisco wanted to sell his shares. Gabriel didn’t want Rogelio to get them. He would be a major shareholder and could get the presidency. Paula will do whatever to help her dad. He says she’s a Fuemayors, like him and her grandfather.
Juana doesn’t understand the hate Rogelio has for him. He explains about his father buying the land and making a success of it with Rubio Beer. The Fuemayors were angry at their success and when Rogelio’s father killed himself Rogelio wanted revenge and to humiliate himJuana says they’ll go far away and that won’t happen.
Pacheco tells Salvador they need to start an investigation on the Fiscual. Salvador says they can’t, they have to hunt for Gabriel. Jenny and Margarita show up. Jenny wants to know why he didn’t answer his phone. He tells her things are complicated. She wants to know where Juana is and why they’re saying Gabriel is as assassin. Margarita and Pacheco are making googoo eyes at each other.
Fiscual Quiroz is yelling at his men to find Gabriel and Juana.
Juana and Gabriel come to a police road block.
Salvador tells Jenny it’s been real intense. He tells Pacheco to explain it and he pulls his eyes away from Margarita to say very intense. Salvador sends those two to have coffee. He tells Jenny there is corruption here in the Fiscuala. Jenny doesn’t understand so he tells her people with money pay some police, that’s why they’re looking for Gabriel and Juana. Pacheco brings Margarita coffee and a chocolate. She doesn’t understand what’s going on. He says his day get better. After some talk he takes her hand,then apologizes for making her uncomfortable. She says she’s not uncomfortable, she feels their hands belong together.
At the road block Gabriel is third car in line and turns around. A couple of police watch the car turn and drive away.
Paula is thinking back to Rogelio’s threats against her mother and brother. Enrriquta comes in. Camila is sure the body they found is Francisco’s. Enriqueta asks her if she can think of anyone who would do this. Camila tells her they’re both thinking of the same name.

Juana #51 part 2
ReplyDeleteCarlos is talking with Claudio, who tells him fleeing was the worse thing Gabriel could do. Carlos says after they tried to kill him what else could he do.
Yadria shows up at the garage. She tells Felipe not to worry about Salvador, he knows they’re together. Chimis thinks they should marry because of her cooking. She knows what Felipe needs, a massage, a haircut. Ramon comes in coughing. He came to tell him a body was found on Gabriel’s property. He sends Chimis for water and has his dad sit down.
Salvador is explaining to Jenny that powerful people are paying higher up in the company to do their bidding. Jenny says her daughter is in the middle of this. Who’s corrupt. He names the Fiscal General and El licenciado Javier Quiroz. (I made them one person, but there’s two high up corrupt detectives.). Just then Quiroz comes over.

Quiroz is telling Rogelio that he has Castillo under control and he’ll be trying to find Gabriel. Meanwhile Salvador is in the kitchen telling the bodyguards he’s not part of the Fiscual. He knows they are faithful to Gabriel. If the wrong cops find Gabriel they will kill him. He tells them the ball is in their court.
Juana has found them a cabin to rent. She told them the name Guadalupe. Gabriel wants to hide the car so the police can’t connect Julian to them.

ReplyDeleteDiana, thank you. The recap was very good. You had me laughing with your "head spinning like Linda Blair." There was a lot of rehashing of the same old same old with only a few new items.
EXTRAS #1
Erick tells Gabriela that he has found a rehab center that will accept Lucre but she has to enter by her own will. What to do to convince her???Gabriela suggests they take her to see the facility. It has to be better than living on the street. Erick, realistically, says she has to want to stop taking drugs first. Gabriela thinks she is thinking about that already and maybe she needs a little push. They have to try everything, Erick says Lucre also needs four changes of clothing. Gabriela says she will go into her own closet and find her what she needs and she does.
Alejandro is not happy that Lorena told Flo so much information about what they knew. Now Flo knew what they had been investigating. He would have been happier if she said nothing and just ran instead of confronting Flo.
What they found on Arturo's hard drive: On the night of 3/23/22, a complaint was filed against Vicente for damage done to JP's car with a baseball bat. He broke the headlights and tailights which carries a sentence of 5-10 years for damage to personal property. Sofía concludes that the relationship between JP and Erick was not good at all. Lorena concludes that he could be the murderer. Alejandro tells her not to jump to conclusions. They have to further investigate. Lorena insists she has to warn her sister. Alejandro tells her that if she does, she will be jeopardizing the investigation. She needs to cool her jets, so to speak.
Alejandro then discovers that JP went to Argentina two weeks before he was murdered. Sofía thinks he probably went to visit Vicente who lived there. Alejandro wonders WHY?and WHAT? happened between them.
Frida tells Darío her story. She grew up in a family that was not normal. her father never was around and her mother had to work all as a factory worker to support them. She had two younger sisters.

When she turned 16, the soap factory where her mother worked closed down and she was sent to another factory in Michoacán. Frida was in charge of her two sisters and they barely were able to get by with the little money her mother sent them. So, Frida had to go to work and take any job she could find. With a lot of work, she finished high school. She couldn't continue with her schooling because she had to work full time. She got a job as cashier at El Turco's bar. Carmen AKA Perla worked there, too. One day, a guy tried to go too far with her and El Turco defended her. Since she didn't want to go through that again, she quit and started to sell pirated videos. He knows the rest of her story.

ReplyDeleteEXTRAS #2
Nico texts Amanda that he needs to talk to her before work at 12:40 at the cafeteria. It is important. She looks worried and finds out she should be. Nico wants to know where her loyalties lie. She has been spending a lot of time with Ismael. She answers that is her job. They are working so what hat else would she do? Nico thinks that Ismael is taking way too much time to finish the FUGITIVAS case. The results are not what were expected. His work leaves a lot to be desired. Amanda disagrees. The prosecutor (Ismael) has done his work correctly. They have arrested 20 of the FUGITIVAS. He agrees but adds that Ismael let a pregnant Natalia escape from the hospital. Amanda says they ALL let her escape. She didn't escape just from the prosecutor. Amanda is sure she will pop up soon. She will need a hospital to have her baby. Nico insists that she talk to Nájera about how poorly Ismael has handled the case and about his relationship with Lorena and about what is needed to catch her. In his opinion, that would be a firm hand. Ismael is a wimp. He asked the FUGITIVAS to turn themselves in voluntarily with no penalty. Amanda says it worked. Several of them did turn themselves in. If Ismael is removed, they will put somebody unknown to them in his place. Nico thinks not. He has it all planned out. He is going to present Nájera an irrefutable proposal so he is named as the person in charge of the case. Amanda asks how he plans to do that. Nico says that beside his knowledge and experience, he has the backing of the Márquez's. Amanda asks what do they have to do with this. Nico informs her that Arturo is friendly with people in the "upper echelon" and since he owes him several favors he promised to back him. Amanda asks him to define "several favors" She finds out that Nico is informing Arturo about what is going on at the prosecutor's office. He keeps him up on everything. He asks her if she is going to talk to Nájera or not. If she supports him, he promises her that he will not tell anyone that she was the one who leaked the Vilchis info to the press. He reminds her that if that becomes known, her career will be over. She answers that it does not seem ethical to bad mouth Ismael when she is convinced that he has done a good job. Nico continues saying it will be a pity that when he takes charge of the case, he will have to dispense with her services. Anyway, he will never have a SQUEALER on his team. He gets up, tells her the coffees are paid for and to have a good day, and leaves.

ReplyDeleteJarifa, what a spectacular recap. I'm completely in awe.
I couldn't understand why Alejandro was so cross with Lorena; thank you for explaining.
So Vincente assaulted JP's car. Bad blood certainly but I agree that "Lorena concludes that he could be the murderer" seems premature. " Alejandro tells her not to jump to conclusions" was sound advice although there is some reason Vincente turned on him.
It was obvious Frida had a sob story so thank you for relating it.
Your translation of Nico and Amanda's conversation was masterful. Nico's conceit is beyond; completely unjustified. Nico's threat against Amanda is the least of it. Amanda "...finds out that Nico is informing Arturo about what is going on at the prosecutor's office. He keeps him up on everything". Amanda has now done far more than leak information. She now knows Nico is arming Artuto with everything that transpires. Amanda now has to make a career decision. I do not see her going along with Nico; I'm betting she speaks up before he rats her out. The fallout for her will likely be catastrophic.
Thank you for summarizing all that I missed and doing so beautifully.

ReplyDeleteDiana, glad I could help out. I agree about Amanda beating Nico to the punch. If she does, I hope she warns either Ismael or Patricio about what Nico told her. As usual, Lorena was about to be too impulsive for her own good. Flo and Nico deserve each other.
FUGITIVAS
ReplyDeleteJarifa, yes, I also hope Amanda spills everything Nico told her.
Florencia seems like a woman who always has to have "someone". Other than Ismael she seems to have a penchant for losers (JP, Nico). I would thoroughly enjoy it if somehow Nico gets saddled with Vero!!!! That would be justice :)

Juana
ReplyDeleteLiz, excellent job. I don't have much to add. I did find it strange when Juana and Gabriel were on a hill above that blue house and village that they knew it was a hotel of sorts. It almost looked like they rented an entire chalet. Shouldn't they be hoarding their pennies?
If only Camila hadn't tried to hurt Juana by helping Paula....I could see her be redeemed. Of course Manuel will be, he's already on that path. He does need to confess to the beer tampering though.
Any idea how many episodes are left?
Juana
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kat. When Juana told Gabriel about the cabin she said none of the rooms were rented so they’d have the place to themselves. I guess if rooms were rented they’d be sharing spaces.
Camila does seem to want to help the good guys now. Maybe she’ll get a lighter sentence, we know Rogelio threatened her family. But she went along with Paula’s plan to get Gabriel for herself.
I’ve read in a couple of places there’s 65 episodes. One site said 70. They did announce “last weeks” and a new show is starting mid January in that time slot.
