A New York Run

Erasmo advises Tadeo that there is a run to New York soon, but warns that it a hard, long haul. After Tadeo tells him the work doesn’t matter…he just wants to go, Erasmo senses something else is going on and asks Tadeo what he is running from. Tadeo responds that he just needs to be alone so he can forget about stupid things he has in his head. When Erasmo wonders if it has to do with the music business, Tadeo explains that he just doesn’t have the courage to continue with that. Erasmo, trying to be understanding tells him being a musician is not a big deal anyway. When Tadeo asks if he will help him get the run to New York by himself, Erasmo says yes.

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.

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.

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.

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.

  • D.D.

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.

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.
