usually in mexico they celebrate name days, as a low key birthday. so, yeah, no way Valentia doesnt know when san valentin is

Wellll, we could headcanon that this family doesn’t do it or maybe she left for Canada and stopped, but surely she would have then remembered it from her childhood. So is it just a flub from Maca? That she then corrects mid-sentence?

Actually, now I’m on the side of it being written. As real as it looks and as minor a detail as it would have been, that’s what makes them laugh, which then segues into being interrupted by Lucho in the scene itself. So kudos to the writers and Maca, I guess?

I don’t know if you noticed but there was a bottle of mezcal on the coffee table in the scene whew Val is by the fireplace.

And another anon:

Okay but did you noticed the bottle? She was drinking again while thinking about her first kiss… poor girl she just wants her girl back

You know what, I actually hadn’t noticed it. There was just so much gay onscreen.

But it’s right there. I don’t know, I would think that if we were supposed to take note, it would be a little more prominent. But maybe not, maybe it’s just an ever-present background thing. I think it is an encouraging thing that she wasn’t actually drinking in the scene we saw, instead distracting herself with thoughts of Juls. Just like…earlier that day, right? she was still paranoid about the cartel and now her mind is full of something else.

I think San Mateo might die wtf he can’t be killed!!!

It really is pointing to that, isn’t it? :/ He’s like the best guy on the show, by far. And I actually really did like this corruption vs crusading journalists thread through this show of death and family and gays. They can’t kill ALL the good journalists, can they? Will it inspire Eva to come clean and kind of take over?

Sergio! I think she’s going to ask him for help, and that’s why there’s a spoiler of him talking with Val about Juls

And another anon:

Juliana goes to Sergio, that is why Val & him confront each other. Val: but she is MY girlfriend. Sergio who only wanted to help: then take her jfc

So this theory goes with some of the other spoilers I’ve seen, though a little conflicting, but I’m not sure if that’s specifically going to come into play right now? So it’s still a little up in the air, although it seems likely.

And another anon:

What if the narcos finds Juliana on the street and use her to find el chino omg

Oh, we’re jumping straight to danger, anon. It’s a possibility, we can’t rule anything out, everything’s going to start coming together now. I hope it doesn’t happen, but that’s actually not a terrible guess, the Chino/Beltran/narcos plot has to be resolved.

And another anon:

I feel like Juls probably slept in the park where she met Val, she has a lot of fun happy memories with Val at the park, so I feel like that’s where she would’ve gone if she had no where else to sleep, for no other reason than to feel just a little bit close to Val even when she’s not there.

Now we’re going to emo territory, lol. You know, after they returned from Valle, I was wondering if they’d show Val acknowledge that Juls had just slept and woken next to her, maybe have her hug the pillow. I don’t know if this theory’s likely, but anything’s possible in this show.

And another anon:

Hear me out – What if Lupe goes to see Val to find Juliana. Val is worried that Juls is missing, and works with Lupe to find her. Lupe sees how much Val loves her daughter and starts the process of acceptance? 

Huh. I mean, they do need to kickstart the reconciliation in some way and we’re running out of eps. If there’s one thing the two of them have in common, it’s their love for Juls.

I’d say the Sergio theory is most likely given that there are existing spoilers for it, but who knows, really. It might be none of these.

Honestly? Both girls giving zero concessions, zero apology for their feelings, zero shame, despite the negative reactions in both their lives? And both negative reactions been framed as the wrong reaction in the narrative??? I love this song!!

If we had to see them keep on facing homophobia, I’m so glad it’s being handled like this. Treating the homophobes with frank disdain, like their opinions are just that stupid and unworthy of consideration. I was actually a little worried there might be some backsliding during moments of vulnerability but they’ve been so strong.
