Maria's in her robe, DD is shrugging into his jacket and putting on his glasses and he remarks condescendingly, "See, that was just the thing..." (Subtext: she said she didn't feel well, but all the any woman needs is a little lovin' from her man to set her world a-right, eh?) Then, noting her less than thrilled expression, he pesters her as to what's wrong. She tells him, "Nothing happened." I howled at that. You see, my immediate thought was that she was saying that she didn't have an orgasm I know, I'm a bad girl with a wicked mind and all those years of Catholic school education are down the drain — LOL! Perhaps she realized that too, because she tried to cover it up right away and make him go away.
And, regarding DD's "appetites"... A good urologist specializing in fertility would tell him that his little "afternoon delight" with Maria would seriously jeopardize his ability to impregnate Inecia an hour or so later. Those little swimmers are like Elvis: they leave the building and need time to send in backups!
So what we think is that she is thinking about chepe, that's why she rejected him she is falling for super chepe.
I don't think Ex-yellow tie is involved, as he told DD that he didn't know what was in the envelope. Most likely is that FBBG is usig Gus to throw DD off the scent,but who really knows. He was clearly stoned out of his mind the other day, so maybe the "FBBG is insane" theory is the best.
One nice thing about this shows unpredicatability- I was actually contemplating that they would really expose DD, and then have him dissappear and fight them from the shadows or something. It didn't happen, but just that I considered it shows that the writers have been able to keep the element of surprise.
Drama is life with all the dull parts taken out".
That's a quote from Alfred Hitchcock, master director of movies like "Psycho" and "Notorious", and I wish the writers would remember that when they write the dialogue between Gus and Vero. It's trite much of the time. I never saw PQD but in LDC Manolo Cardono often delivers lines the same way, whether he's talking to Celia, Ines or Mateo and these three have unique, dissimilar relationships with him. He doesn't vary his facial expressions, body movement or voice inflection - boring! Vero and Gus are a boring couple. They don't create sparks in their scenes together.What's equally frustrating for a viewer like me who's analyzed scripts and studied screenwriting is that LDC is running in place plot-wise because the writers, very unfortunately, haven't made the main couple dynamic. DD, who is the most disgusting villain I've ever seen in novelaland, Mateo/Nenena, Ramiro, Tony and Anselmo are moving the story along, but Gus and Vero are not. In my view that's fatal. Writers usually create heroes/heroines that the audience can identify with, people who move the story forward and are not just moved by it like Gus and Vero, because that makes them unattractive. I think that's the main reason that after several months of novela time Gus and the Brigada have gained very little in their fight against Escorpion. I actually thought after CGO's "suicide" and DD's terribly acted scene with the gun at CGO's house that Chepe suspected DD might be Escorpion. But I was definitely proved wrong when Chepe let Vero go to Miami. Instead we've seen a repetition of false leads and plot points that don't propel the action forward, such as the Miami trip and the Brigada's rescue of a kidnapped woman about two weeks ago. The story is dragging.Thank God the writers have created some very interesting characters like Tony, Anselmo, Nenena and Chepe. While they try to make this novela naturalistic with the depiction of Ramiro and Claudia's addictions and the sibling relationship between Celia, Anselmo and Nenena, they negate these positive touches with the depiction of the Brigada. We hear constantly that the Brigada is a magnificent, elite group of police with Vero and Esteban being the best of the best. Yet Vero comes and goes as she pleases and can't or refuses to see DD's hiding of his second family (Maria and Tony) is a major sign that he is not what he appears to be. Some top, professional cop! And we don't have to rehash Esteban's jealous rampages. If these are Mexico's top cops no wonder that country has so much crime!DD is so wretched that every time I see him, I want to throw up all over his expensive suits and shoes and ruin them.As for predictions, again I can not see DD going to jail. He'll murder whoever he has to and if he sees he can't escape he'll fight and force the police to kill him. I hope he drags Repulsiva down with him into the hot spots waiting for them in hell. And remember the long departed witch doctor who told Ines she'd have a dangerous encounter with a deadly enemy but that she'd survive and win over this person? As someone posted earlier, I too think Ines might play an important role in DD's downfall. I hope Nenena and her baby live and that Celia links with Carlos. But the writers might to try insert "realism" again by making only one of these two possibilities develop. I predict it will be the first because Nenena is too rich and loveable a character to let die. But Anselmo might become history thanks to sicko DD. And what if the writers tweaked the story by having Froilan survive and become a new Escorpion - as a salute again to realism?
