Last episode — I can't believe it
Chiqui made Marga not drink the poisoned coffee that Mostaza's mother gave her in their cell and the police sent the coffee to be analyzed.
The police set up a trap for Nino. Meanwhile, Nino met Tato and they agreed to meet in Paraguay after they both made their escapes separately.
280. Adorable Anguila is such a gossiper and has such a weak resolve
He repeats a 1000 times to Mercedes that he can't tell her what he knows, only to end up telling her, all excitedly, that Marga killed Mirta. Cue to serious-business Flaco walking in on the gossip time and getting all angry. I love angry-Flaco to death
281. Lalito is so adorable and young, and he types mostly with two fingers (so do I!)
He also writes pretty nice love/apology letters, but he's afraid of sounding lame
He was typing something on his laptop - an email, I suppose? So we got voiceover, and such a sweet one I'll just translate it all:
"You've helped me see life in a different way, value myself, respect others, take risks for what I want the most. You've taught me how to be a better person, how to love. I can't forget that — I don't want to, either. Without you I'm lost, Flaco. I don't find meaning in anything. I don't understand for what we're apart. I think I made a mistake when I asked you to leave. Now I know you're the person I need the most in the world."
Then he sighed, looked into the distance, got all fidgety and said aloud: "No, he'll think I'm an idiot." And then he erased the whole thing
Poor Lalito, lovesick and worried about sounding lame.
I loved this scene. I watched it many times - it's
so Lalo
282. Flaco loves confronting people. He went to Tato's and shouted at him and demanded why did he fuck them over when they were innocent. He managed to hit Tato on his side once yay! Anguila was there trying to keep him off Tato though. I know I'm repeating myself, but Flaco really does a great angry for someone who can be so whiny
Tato has the gall of saying: "I made a mistake. Making mistakes is human." Flaco said he was going to kill him, Anguila kept him away and Tato kept being an asshole
He did mention he had to leave to take care of sending away Mirta's body, which caught Anguila's attention. He later texted that to Chiqui, while trying to cheer up Flaco
Lily went to visit Marga in jail and accused her for doing nothing while Tato screwed her (Lily) and the boys over for Mirta's murder when she (Marga) was the murderer. Marga was all dismissive and arrogant about it, saying that she is the one in jail and how can Lily come and be mean to her and gave her her lametastic speech about doing what she had to do to protect herself and her baby. Lily didn't buy her shit for once and told her she simply did it all not to get caught for killing Giselle, only thinking of herself.
Chiqui tried to make Laura change her mind about killing Nino, but she said she had made her choice. But Riganti was onto her, so later when the police was going out to set up the trap for Nino, Riganti told Laura she wasn't allowed to go with them because Riganti wanted to catch Nino alive. So Laura lied to her face that she swore she wouldn't hurt him lol. Riganti didn't buy it and left an officer guarding Laura
283. Flaco always goes from angry to whiny or from whiny to angry. It's like a rollercoaster — you can't get the high without the low
So he turned to Anguila and we all know he's a great friend, even though his advice is all stammered and he employs weird car metaphors
Teary-eyed, Flaco told Anguila he had to look ahead, fix things with Lily so they could get along, spend more time with his children and figure out what to do about Lalo, how to explain that his love for him is true. So Anguila used his car metaphor to say Flaco should take things slowly and, specifically about Lalo, he should wait because maybe Lalo would see things differently soon and Flaco would just have to hold on and wait for the right moment to talk to Lalo. And then he got a text from Chiqui and left Flaco with a hug and saying he loves him. Anguila for best friend, yes/yes?
284. Marga thinks she can twist any situation around so that in the end she comes off as someone great
Lily continued her face-off with Marga by telling her that her top priority in life had always been herself. So Marga tried to make herself look like the best friend ever by reminding Lily that she had warned her about Tato, let her stay in her flat and once screamed at Flaco "on her behalf" *cough*. Of course she conveniently forgot to mention all the times she badmouthed and ignored Lily, or tried to avoid and get rid of her
And even if she had been Lily's best friend, that really
really doesn't change the fact that she killed two people to hide her affair and dubious paternity case, which certainly warrants Lily's recriminations, even if Lily is indeed self-righteous. But Lily is a fool and ends up pitying Marga for being in jail
[Marga even said: "you wouldn't stand two minutes in here" - well, newsflash, Marga, she doesn't have to because she didn't kill people like poor you
Yes, I'm ranting about Marga but I'm really sick of her self-pity and self-justifying.]
Oh c'mon on show! Left-behind Laura is analyzing a picture of kidnapped Malena and zoomed in on a car in the background and got the plate. How come no one had done that before? Any person who had ever watched a crime/police TV show would have thought of that
She later got the bald officer to agree to letting her follow that lead.
Meanwhile, Tato is leaving when a hysteric Mostaza shows up and tells him he's not going anywhere before he gets Mostaza's mom out of jail (for trying to poison Marga). Tato managed to trick Mostaza into distraction and then punched and kicked him repeatedly. Later he went to the cemetery, got the coffin and took it to an airport.
Marga told her deluded mother that she'll get sentenced to 20 years, if she's lucky. Yeah, her mother thought she'd be out soon
285. Flaco has absolutely no idea of what 'taking things slowly' means! Really. He simply went to visit Lalo and dropped two bombs straight on his lap: "I love you" and "I feel that I'd like to spend the rest of my life with you." And then asked "what do you say?"
And I'm not even kidding - they exchanged...
Flaco: Hi!
Lalo: What are you doing here?
Flaco: I'm sorry I came here without letting you know. I needed to see you.
Lalo: Okay, but you should have let me know.
Flaco: I'm sorry, but you're not going to get rid of me that easily. [pause] How are you?
Lalo: Good, good. Better.
... eight small-talk sentences before Flaco said:
Flaco: Look, Lalo, I... I love you. [huge intake of breath from Lalo] And I feel like I want to spend the rest of my life with you. [loaded facial expressions from Lalo] What do you say?
Flaco, if this is how you go slow, then I think you shouldn't drive a car, okay, babe?
286. The idea that Nino would send the police a picture of Malena with the car he was using in the background is simply ridiculous
Laura got to the sawmill when Nino was loading his pick-up to make his escape.
Only after arriving to the airport did Tato think of opening the coffin and then he saw that all the money was gone - the only thing inside was Chiqui's father's suitcase, which was in Chiqui's possession after Nino had left it behind. Then Chiqui and his walking stick showed up for a face-off.
Meanwhile, Lily showed up with a lot of money in black garbage bags in a doctor's office and told him it was an anonymous donation. Oh c'mon! What honest doctor accepts donations in cash inside garbage bags?! The doctor was so happy that I imagine he must have got suspicious donations before and therefore know how to fool the tax authorities
Laura released Malena and sent her running away.
