Theory: Since Val isn’t listening to Sergio, would it be possible that he ends up explaining what happened with him and Juls, to Lupe? Telling her that Juls felt awful before and afterword and was only concerned about Val? I feel like the best redemption arc for Lupe would be her realizing that her meddling threw a wrench in her daughter’s relationship/happiness and then helping to get Juliantina back together.
Hmmmm. That would actually work in making both Sergio and Lupe look better, because right now, yikes.
But I don’t know what could make Lupe see sense, considering how she’s being. She could just be like, Juliana will come around. Yuck. I know it’s important to show but this prolonged hateful illogical homophobia is nasty to see.
Maybe after Juls is returned and doesn’t seem to be recovering, that would be the time for it?
it’s my first time watching a telenovela but i was not ready for the sheer quantity and frequency of kidnapping plotlines
Hah, I’m not sure if this is a typical representation of the kidnapping prevalence in telenovelas but I was told that since this is about narcos, it’s going to happen a lot. Still, I feel like every main character, of a large cast, getting kidnapped except like…Johnny and Guille? is a lot!
If my understanding of the show’s timeline is right: Juls slept with Sergio literally the day after she kissed Val and told her that she still had feelings for her; i honestly cant imagine how terrible it must’ve felt for Val to find that out. What gets me is that Val’s initial reaction(at least visually) wasn’t anger at her but a form of defeat which she stuffed down in her quest to save Juls, bc Juls is still the most important person in her life. I can’t. I need my girls to catch a break ugh
I think it might have been a little longer than that but yeah, that’s not really relevant, it’s still very recent and yes, exactly, she was crushed. That’s what I meant in responding to the previous anon, there are degrees of how much one can react and respond when they’ve felt so hurt. She could have been worried and still sat back at her house, like when Lucia was kidnapped. As a rule, Val is not particularly gung-ho except when it comes to Juls. Not even during her own kidnapping, a few days ago, that left her traumatized.
Other characters, or other people, really, might have felt so angry or betrayed they could have been like, it’s not my business. What’d she say, how you don’t know people at all? What thoughts must have been swirling through her mind.. But she is going against her own usual instincts and inserting herself into this and being the most proactive person, frankly, more than Juls’s parents.
I mean together or not, getting kidnapped is kinda a bigger deal? Of course shes gonna care and want to help. Most people would in that kind of situation
Well, in this show, would they? But yes, yes, she is that good a person, she would try to help anybody, even if she’d turned off her feelings. But she didn’t need to charge in, braving Lupe and her dialogue, that’s the thing, the dialogue.
