Sorry to tell you but Mateo committed telenovela suicide today: the unwritten rule of never threatening the main villain and disclosing him your plans. AAM writers would really, really surprised me if he actually survives the show.

Yeah, I don’t feel like my guy is long for the world now. Too naive by half. That’s the problem with him and Susana, they think they see how bad people are but they’re still too good-hearted to believe HOW bad they are. Drinking something Johnny gave you?? Going to him and telling him your plans? What kind of… 

It’s actually kind of interesting that if you go along with the theory that in telenovelas, good people get good endings, and bad people bad, then those two should survive. But they’re not main enough, they’re going to be collateral damage. The only two characters left, defined by their goodness, are Juliantina. Guille had his part in the holdup and Renata is…is she really even on the show aside from being Guille’s love interest? And her character’s not had to be in the same position of making decisions like Juliantina, she doesn’t get to show her kindness and integrity in the same way. So at this point, those two need a happy ending just to make sure this telenovela isn’t depressing as heck.
