Queen of the South Season 5 Episode 6 Evaluate: Plata O Plomo (Silver Or Lead)

Spoilers

We knew it was going to occur. It is a narco present. That is the ultimate season. 

So it ought to come as no shock when a few of our favourite characters find yourself lifeless. However that does not imply it does not damage.

(FYI, if you have not watched the episode but, there are SPOILERS AHEAD! You’ve got been warned.)

The Miami Operation - Queen of the South

The second George set foot in Miami to control Boaz, I had a nasty feeling about it.

George is nice at loads of issues, however he makes a awful spy, and Boaz is loopy, however he is no idiot. He knew precisely why Teresa had despatched George to see him, irrespective of what number of instances George denied it.

And the extra Boaz denied being indignant about Teresa turning Javier over to Lafayette to be killed, the extra intense that uneasy feeling within the pit of my abdomen grew.

I nonetheless owe Teresa my life. She ought to have killed me for disobeying her, however her coronary heart’s greater than my balls. No, she’s received nothing to concern from me.

Boaz

When Boaz requested George to be his Quantity 2 on Queen of the South Season 5 Episode 6, I apprehensive that he was attempting to lull George right into a false sense of safety.

Boaz did not even point out his cousin, Angel, and what are the chances that Angel would have accepted George in that place with out a combat?

The throwback to Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Child was nearly candy, which is after I suspected that issues have been about to collapse between George and Boaz. 

When Boaz discovered that container of fentanyl, the Haitian truly seemed shocked, which made me suppose that Boaz was setting him up, however I could not work out why. 

Then George lastly discovered a technique to slip into Boaz’s secret room, and it grew to become clear. It was all a setup. 

Not solely did Boaz use it to persuade George that he was loyal to Teresa, however he is most likely additionally slicing her product himself to pocket additional cash. 

George Is On a Mission - Queen of the South Season 5 Episode 5

I detest that Boaz killed George.

From the second Ryan O’Nan hit the display screen throughout Queen of the South Season 2 Episode 1, he was a presence. At first, he made me cringe, then he made me snicker, however quickly sufficient, he made me love George. 

George revered Teresa from the very starting, and he liked her like a sister. He was loyal to her till the very finish. 

The one upside to his demise was that it was fast, and he did not endure, however I want he’d had one other minute to make that telephone name to Teresa. 

When she does not hear from George, that should set off alarm bells for her, proper? Boaz cannot get away with this for lengthy. 

Boaz Gives a Warning - Queen of the South Season 5 Episode 5

So long as Boaz was loyal to Teresa, his model of brutal craziness was considerably acceptable, however now, I hope Pote has a bullet with Boaz’s title on it. 

In Europe, Teresa made securing a take care of Navarro a precedence, and he or she wasn’t backing down. 

Parking that van outdoors of the Interpol agent’s daughter’s ballet class appeared like a traditional cartel transfer. It additionally made James uncomfortable. 

James believed that Teresa was completely different. Beforehand, she had solely resorted to violence as a final resort, however currently, she’s been utilizing it as a preemptive strike. 

It bothered James a lot that he mentioned it with Kelly Anne. Though Kelly Anne might have questioned Teresa up to now, she understood why she had modified.

Kelly Anne Isn't Happy - Queen of the South Season 5 Episode 6

James: Generally I hardly acknowledge her anymore.
Kelly Anne: Effectively, none of us are the identical. We’ve simply all been by way of an excessive amount of and seen an excessive amount of.
James: Generally I miss that lady from Culiacán.
Kelly Anne: I used to be Cole’s doormat for years. The minute I met Teresa I knew we shared one thing and he or she helped me notice we have been survivors.
James: Yeah, all of us are. She’s grow to be one thing else.
Kelly Anne: She doesn’t wish to simply survive anymore. She needs to dwell. In order that lady from Culiacán, she’s gone.

However even I used to be a bit stunned by Teresa’s cruel response to Shaker and Bledsoe. 

These two have been grasping and boastful, and after they known as Kelly Anne “girlie,” I needed she may have damaged Shaker’s nostril the best way Teresa had damaged Simon’s. 

However what Teresa had in thoughts for them was extra savage.

In the event that they wish to act like gangsters, let’s deal with them like gangsters.

Teresa

Shaker and Bledsoe - Queen of the South Season 5 Episode 6

Partially, she wasn’t unsuitable. This duo had performed this rip-off a number of instances, most likely raking in over a billion {dollars}. They offered their property in dangerous religion, then callously crushed anybody who tried to carry them to the legislation, all whereas displaying sleazy smiles that signified they knew nobody may cease them.

Till somebody did. 

Shaker was so smug even when he was tied to that chair with plastic sheeting surrounding him. He actually thought this was all for present, and I want he’d had a couple of extra moments of realization earlier than the bullet went by way of his head. 

For some cause, killing Bledsoe stunned me. Sure, he was a free finish, however James was proper; that is not one thing the Teresa we knew even a 12 months in the past would have accomplished, and now she did not hesitate.

So what do you suppose, TV Fanatics?

Will Teresa’s path lead her to take a bullet as we noticed in that supposed flash ahead years in the past?

Is George the one member of our core crew who will meet their demise earlier than the sequence is over?

And the way lengthy will it take Teresa to determine what occurred to George and what Boaz is as much as? Additionally, if Boaz will get the punishment he deserves, who’s left to take over the Miami operation and control issues in Sinaloa?

And is there any probability we’ll hear from Camila or Isabela earlier than we’re accomplished?

All hail King George! He was one among a sort and shall be sorely missed.
