El Final del Paraíso spoilers for Tuesday, August 20 find Catalina Santana (Carmen Villalobos) stressing over Mariana Sanín Santana (Stephania Duque) while Aurelio “El Titi” Jaramillo (Gregorio Pernia) arrives in the US, and Yésica “La Diabla” Beltrán (Kimberly Reyes) comforts Cata Grande while plotting her next move. Catalina Marín Santana (aka Cata 2, played by Carolina Gaitán) also gives some doses of (twisted) truth. If you missed it, let’s catch up with an El Final del Paraíso recap.
El Final del Paraíso spoilers: Bad news
Albeiro Marín (Fabián Ríos) is awaiting the test results today while he visits Jose Luis Vargas (aka Jota, played by Francisco Bolívar). He begs his friend to wake up, then actually gives him a task. See, he wrote this letter from the heart to Doña Hilda Santana (Catherine Siachoque). He wants Jota to be the one to give it to her, because he has to go and find Cata Grande. Um, we’re pretty sure she’s occupied, dude. Plus, the state of things is pretty clear with you two.
Later, he comes across Salvatore Miranda (Martín Karpan) and discovers Estaban Calvo (Manuel Gómez) beat the guy and threatened him. Albeiro makes an excuse to Salvatore’s doctor friend about the injuries, then offers to pay for everything. Again, we’re still not sure how he’s paying for all this, considering he does nothing as far as we can tell. After warning Salvatore about Calvo, he heads to the doctor and learns that he is, in fact, infected with HIV.
El Final del Paraíso spoilers: Jota wakes
Before leaving, Jota wakes and Albeiro is thrilled. He calls for a nurse, who then examines Jota while Albeiro leaves.
Jota is still recovering from the shock of what happened to him when the nurse mentions his friend left a letter for someone that he wants Jota to deliver. Jota’s left alone to read the message and whatever he sees alarms him, because he screams for the nurse and then begs to use her phone to call Doña Hilda.
El Final del Paraíso spoilers: The Fight
Today, the fight between El Chicano Mendez (Henry Yair Auraad) and Cannibal Jenkins (the reigning champ) is on. And we can’t with this ironic name. In previous seasons, an agent Cata Grande was working under turned out to be a cannibal who was obsessed with her. Yes, you just read that right. And it was just as creepy and disgusting as it sounds.
Anyway, thanks to Dayana “La Demonia” Muriel (Elianis Garrido), our underdog that is expected to get mauled takes the magic XY4 and mauls the champ. The other drug lords in attendance are impressed, but the show ain’t over.
El Final del Paraíso spoilers: Part 2…
While the fight was just getting started, Mariana made her way over to her own personal lab rat and slipped the pill to him. The champ’s loss (which cost him money) angers him and the drug in his system has him storming the ring. A big fight ensues, which the DEA agents have to break up.

El Final del Paraíso spoilers: Telemundo’s at it again
Cata Grande spotted her daughter at the fight and hurried after her. She manages to stop Mariana, which brings a sarcastic reply from the ever-irritating little rapist. Yes, she violated her aunt’s man. She yells at Cata Grande for being an absent mother and lying to her, which has led her to this world. During their fight, Mariana pulls a gun on her and Cata Grande asks if she’s going to shoot her own mother. Mariana does just that, and Cata Grande says that while there won’t be forgiveness from God, she forgives her before dying.
Except not. It’s one of those fantasy sequences that Telemundo loves using to psyche people out. Mariana had been dreaming of this, while Cata Grande ends up losing her daughter in the crowd.
El Final del Paraíso spoilers: Celebration
Demonia and Mariana are thrilled the things went so well. They celebrate their success in one of the hotel rooms while they both discuss annoying mothers and how they want to get rid of their families. What a nice pair. Too bad they’re probably going to kill each other after Mariana finds out Demonia is trying to get her out of the business…
El Final del Paraíso spoilers: Good advice
After Cata Grande chases Mariana, Diabla suggests that Cata Grande might be taking this whole thing a bit too personally. She’s too attached to the situation, and it’s not going to help. It’s good advice, even if coming from a backstabber who is plotting to kill her…
Of course, Cata Grande doesn’t take it. She insists that she’s a professional, and needs to do this. She feels responsible for her daughter and doesn’t want Mariana to hit rock bottom like she did.
El Final del Paraíso spoilers: Tensions rise
Following the embarrassment in the ring, everyone meets up to discuss the situation. “Agent Valeria Montes” says that she should’ve been allowed to do this alone, because they would have caught some narcos tonight. Natalia (Linda Baldrich) obviously takes offense to “Valeria’s” attitude, which leads to an argument. Cata Grande breaks it up and says she’s had enough of the fighting, as they’re all on the same team. She tells “Valeria” to go ahead and meet her informant. Fin fact: We’ve learned that the actress playing Natalis actually is credited as playing Diabla in the 2010 movie version.
El Final del Paraíso spoilers: Hard truth
Dona Hilda Santana (Catherine Siachoque) gets a reality check today, as does Mirta and Liseth Muriel (Gloria Pinilla and Margarita Torres). This truth comes from Cata 2, and is only partly valid. See, she’s completely right about Demonia being a danger to all of them. She insists that Mirta and Liseth get that through their heads. She’s not so dead-on with the other.
El Final del Paraíso spoilers: Twisted facts
While alone with her mother, they girl talk a bit about Salvatore before Cata 2 makes the slapping hand itchy. She starts going on about Albeiro and Cata Grande’s horrible betrayal of Doña Hilda and how gross it is.
Okay, she’s got a point on the gross part, but she’s got the rest of it pretty twisted. She forgets (or doesn’t know) that Albeiro was sniffing Dona Hilda’s unmentionables and making eyes at her long before Cata Grande actually abandoned them for the hoe life in Bogota. She also forgets that it was equally gross for a grown woman to hook up with her teen daughter’s teenage boyfriend. #JustSaying. And this is why one should never spout off on situations unless they are fully aware of both sides.
Either way, Cata 2 wants nothing to do with her (half) sister now, and considers Albeiro her “biological” father only.
El Final del Paraíso spoilers: Stalker
Meanwhile, Calvo is watching Hilda through a lot of the episode. She actually sees and approaches him at one point, and he nearly runs her over getting away. He’s busted now, and Hilda knows he’s still watching later, but he’s not planning to let go that easy.
El Final del Paraíso spoilers: The babes in trouble?
It seems that despite the work Mano Negra (Juan Pablo Gamboa) is doing with them, plus the doses of meds he’s giving Diabla, he doesn’t quite trust them. He thinks a betrayal is coming soon. Considering he ordered someone to kill a broker if he doesn’t make a trade properly, we can just imagine what will befall any of the babes if they betray him.
El Final del Paraíso: Also…
Titi arrives in Vegas and promptly hits on one of the airport employees. Dang. This guy just never stops. We smell trouble coming, because their nanny (Paula, played by Adriana Mar) was forced to lie to Mariana when she called to check in. That made her nervous, but Titi tells her to relax. He’ll take care of it. Besides, he’s the one actually paying her.
