What I loved about this ep, Juls finally smiling in almost all of her scenes and we also saw her being hopeful looking into the clothes shop window. What I hated about this ep, Val has forgiven Sergio just as easily as she forgave Lucho yet she needs space from Juls who’s the only person who hasn’t physically assaulted her or talked shit behind her back, also Val didn’t show even show the slightest bit of concern when Chivis said she kicked Juls out and Val knows the narcos are after her family.

I don’t think she needs space from Juls anymore, I think she forgave her as quickly as she did the guys. She was off banging at her door. It’s just that unlike those guys who keep inflicting themselves on her and never respecting what she wanted, Juls actually listens. The irony of Juls sending Chivis flowers when, if it’d been Lucho and Val had asked for space, he’d be sauntering up with another apology bouquet and badgering her till she forgave him.

She’s still the super lonely, grieving girl she was before, and in the absence of Juls, she’s now just switched her need for companionship from Lucho to Sergio. Or, well, the writers have, we can’t ignore the fact that this is now a bit of forced conflict to keep them apart for some extra drama. Even if Juls wants to give Val space (in her adorable, earnest way, lol), there’s no reason for Val not to call her.

Same with her just kind of…ignoring that Chivis supposedly kicked the Valdeses out? This might have been why the kind of random line in their earlier needing space convo, where she asked if Juls was going to leave. She may think it’s more to do with that, as well. I don’t know, it is a bit contrived but it is what it is. They did spend a good portion of their screentime today thinking about the other, I liked that.

I think Panchito is Juliana’s dad. I always questioned how Juliana has brown eyes but both Lupita and El Chino have blue eyes. Blue eyes are recessive and brown eyes are dominant so it is very unlikely that their child will have blue eyes. I figured it was just the way casting worked out rather than an actual plot point but after Chino admitted that he wasn’t sure he was Juliana’s father it made me wonder again. It could still be just lack of continuity but still something to think about. – LB

I think that theory was debunked when, after Panchito and Lupe slept together some eps ago, he said something that implied that was the first time?

after that interview, there is an intense desire to see maca in a comedy. the girl is so talented I’m crying

She’s so good at drama too, though! Really, this was such a great role for us to see her in, there were so many great light moments early on. And that earnest goofiness with which she delivered lines like “you’re pretty when you’re right” and “in another life you might have been my Prince Charming”, it’s so endearing.

And another anon:

The maca interview might be scripted but its still the best lmao

It was definitely hilarious. Awkward comedy is hard to pull off scripted or not.

I so wish I could understand Spanish and/or could see the full eps in English (let’s start a worldwide trending topic: #Netflix pick up Amar a muerte!! ;)). You wouldn’t be able to give a quick rundown on what happened between Eva/Mateo and Lucia/Leon, would you…? :-)

Netflix would be great, we’d get full proper subtitles and be able to support it officially.

Mateo confronted Eva about the affair and asked about the baby’s parentage and Eva tried to explain how it’d all started. It was just long angsty scene after scene.

Jacobo took Lucia to the theater where he’d originally proposed as Leon and then revealed it was him.

With so much happening and only basically 7 hours left idk how aam is going to wrap each storyline. Do you think there will be some cliffhangers? They haven’t even found Leon’s body yet or if Beltran got a second chance and yet there’s like 20 storylines that need a conclusion. I can’t even see a time jump happening that nothing was concluded last week.

Well, we’ve already resolved Lupe and Juls knowing who Beltran is, wanting to get away from him, Leon’s revealed himself to Lucia, and Mateo knows about Eva.

I think now everything’s going to gather speed, it won’t be a revelation and then an episode or two of processing, but instead several things will happen one after the other. 

And another anon:

Is it a known thing that I just happen to miss that Beltran is a professor at the University Val goes to? Because I just saw him in one of her scenes at school and never realized this?!

Yep. When they show the university establishing shots sometimes I’m expecting Val and then get Beltran scenes, lol.
