I’m scared.
Armando: Please come in. Take a seat. How are you?
Julia: Good. You?
Armando: Good, good. Thanks.
Julia: You sure?
Mariana: You seem a little…
Armando: A little what?
Mariana: Nothing.
Julia: Are you taking any medicine? *points to all the beer on the table*
Armando: No, everything’s fine.
Julia: Okay, then, let’s get to the point of why we’re here. We wanted to talk to you, if you allow us to. Erm. A few things have happened lately and we’ve started thinking that … well… *elbows Mariana*
Mariana: That there’s important things in life and there’s other things that aren’t really worth it, you know? Like having fights and um … well… that’s why we’re here.
Armando: Okay but what is this about? What does this mean?
Julia: Specifically, we’ve come to make you a proposition.
I have no words to express how terrified I am right now. My first thought? Threesome. My feelings on that possibility: NO!! NOOOOO!! The second thought is maybe joint custody of Julia. Like Mariana gets her Monday through Friday and Armando can have her on the weekends.
I just … I can’t … my brain…
Is anyone feeling optimistic? I could use some optimism.

My only source of optimism in this scenario is that at the very least, whatever they’re about to propose feels unified. I don’t sense any extra discomfort in Mariana that I’m not also seeing in Julia. The sheer presence of unity here, even for a moment, is almost comforting.
what craps is that i feel very made now
Here’s a proposal that would work for me: they’ll go to Spain and have a threesome with the team director’s wife, in exchange for which the team will take Armando back, even with his broken arm. Armando doesn’t have to sleep with the wife (although given his sex addiction, he’d probably want to do that anyway, now that he’s not with Julia), he gets his position back on the team and can have a futbol career when he heals, and he gets the heck outta Dodge, giving Julia and Mariana a life free of his whininess and drunken/emotional outbursts. And Julia and Mariana get a little extra vacation and sexy time in Spain with who-knows-what-kind-of-beautiful trophy wife (cause you know the director of a Spanish futbol team would only have a beautiful wife).
Oh, last thing, Armando promises never to reveal the name of the mystery woman he slept with. That subject is bound to come up before the series is over, and I’m dreading it.
Hi I think I read somewhere that to bury the hatchett they are going to ask him to come to Gay Pride with them. See that’s not scary – only for Armondo :)
BTW I’m in OZ so no I haven’t seen the episode, we are just 18 or so hours in front. So don’t shoot the messenger if i have it wrong :)
I think it’s going to be about Renata or something Utopia-related – the language Mariana used is almost exactly word for word what she said to Julia just after the breakfast with Renata. Maybe they’ll try to use Armando’s ‘fame’ for something good?
