A review of the events in some detail.
Domingo meets with the Chango the mechanic. They drink on Chango’s boat as Domingo tries to get in contact with Landino. Chango uses one of those push-to-talk phones to contact Landino, and Domingo and Landino talk about how Domingo got out. Domingo says he bribed a bunch of people, and Landino tells him good for you, then hangs up.
Marina defends her testimony on Mercurio’s behalf with “It was the truth.” Her bosses don’t care. She wasn’t authorized to take responsibility, it makes the agency look bad, the news will be all over it, blah blah blah.
Not a lot of our favorite guy this episode. Mercurio is out of jail and looking for a job. Unfortunately, political asylum doesn’t automatically come with permission to work and no one will hire him without work authorization.
The trial of Rogelio starts with Domingo Sanchez being called to the witness stand.
El Molcajete is on an upswing. Merce and Rosa are thrilled to be so busy and Merce hopes it will get Sara out of debt–and out of CONATROL–faster. Rosa knows what’s what, though…Sara and Antonio can’t keep away from each other. An invitation to a cheese and embutido tasting comes in and Merce wants to encourage Sara to go.
Fernanda and Ignacio frantically tuck clothes back in, and Ignacio goes to hide while Fernanda opens the door to “Leonardo.” She barely even looks upset until he shows her the flowers and chocolates. Since “he” had told her before that he thought those things were cheesy. Pedro babbles an apology until she rips them out of his hands and tells him to sit down. He sits right next to her. Personal space, Pedro.
I feel the need to warn you in advance that there was a lot of Pedro today, so you can have your antacids or your lavender essential oils or a strong cocktail at the ready.
Simon lights up the sticks, which he has used to spell “I love you, Edwina!” No, I wish. They spell out “SOS.”
The guests applaud for the bride and Pedro still doesn’t realize what’s going on. He thinks Ignacio’s the one getting married. So…he must be this “Leonardo” the judge mentions, right? He tries to push Ignacio into place in front of Fernanda, but Ignacio pushes right back. Everyone starts asking him what’s wrong, but when the judge asks, Ignacio tells him to please continue, and then leaves Pedro standing there. With Fernanda. In front of the judge. I’d love to hear his internal monologue.
I swear, they made sure the refrito included Isa and Ric just to get revenge on me for not paying attention yesterday. Well, news flash, I’m still not paying attention to them! Take that!
Happy-go-lucky Perico goes shopping for a necklace for his mom and tries to flirt his way (unsuccessfully) into a discount.
