El Final del Paraíso spoilers reveal that Catalina Santana (Carmen Villalobos) is crossing the line. In the Friday, November 8th episode, she finds herself in a very reminiscent situation. The character came back in Season Two of Sin Senos Si Hay Paraiso (Without breasts, there is paradise) as a part of the DEA. This is a far cry from her prepago days. But has she really changed? Here’s what you need to know.
El Final del Paraíso spoilers: Concerned
A huge bust happened recently. In a surprising show of competence, she took down an underground fighting ring run by the NWO cartel. This was assisted by other DEA agents and authorities. Everything seemed fine—until Cata Grande got involved in an interrogation. She went so far as to hold a suspect at gunpoint, which drew concern from those with her.
El Final del Paraíso: Doubling down
Cata Grande compounded her questionable behavior on Friday with an even bigger move. After partnering with narco Aurelio “El Titi” Jaramillo (Gregorio Pernía), she goes completely rogue. She tells the DEA nothing before she gets into a plane to play hostage and bust the cartel Titi was a part of.
When she manages to get the advantage, she holds La Cuina (Jimena Galvis) and the rest at gunpoint as she demands they look at the camera and confirm they’re criminals. Total coercion here. We’re also not sure why she needed video of them admitting to their identities. She has a known narco leading her to them, for one. Plus, if Armando “Cardonita” Cardona’s (Julián Trujillo) father was in jail, it would stand to reason they had some way to genetically link the two. Not to mention taking fingerprints that could potentially ID them. Also, there must be some kind of evidence in that house as to their activities. All her demanding they confess on video accomplished was allowing them to play victims for the camera. By going rogue, she also assured that any evidence she does collect there will likely be worthless. There’s procedures, after all.
El Final del Paraíso spoilers: Long history
This isn’t the first time Caa Grande has done something that crosses a line. Or is outright bad. Back in Sin Senos No Hay Paraiso (Without breast, there’s no paradise), she manipulated some narco bodyguards who raped her into killing each other. She was downright gleeful about the act. So much so, even Yésica “La Diabla” Franco (Maria Fernanda Yepes) appeared weirded out. Second, she willingly got involved with narcos, treated the one that married her horribly, and responded to Diabla’s betrayal by ordering a hit.
That doesn’t even go into how she treated both Diabla (the played by Majida Issa) and Daniela Barrera (Johanna Fadul) when she had them both in her grasp. Emotional torture, a bloodied fight, and more ensued. This on its own would be all right, if she was an anti-hero. But she and the characters are all going on as though she is a paragon of virtue and light. Can we say, “Mary Sue?” The writers will need to, at some point, show a consequence for her sometimes extreme measures. Or at least stop acting like Catalina Santana is a completely changed person.
