Year 1641

TW/CW: Death Mention

Antonio also grew into a lovely little boy at the start of the year surrounded by his family. As he grew it was ever clearer that it was hard to tell which parent he took more after. Vincente and Orion would joke about which one of them their son took more after but ultimately they were happy that their little boy was growing well. Unfortunately the joy didn't last as Karmine passed away in mid-February just over a month shy of Francesco's thirteenth birthday.

Following the death of Karmine and helping his younger cousins get on their feet without their mother, Felipe returned to Tartosa to spend time with Giulia and her sisters though it was Giulia and Giovanni that had the extra space for their visitor.

Giovanni enjoyed having Felipe over for a time as he did find the company of the young man relatively pleasant but he was annoyed that Felipe never really helped around the house during his stay. He just chatted and took attention from him and his wife that he could use on the crops or other handiwork. Still Felipe did know when he overstayed his welcome and by June he had left to return home to his own family.

In July, Tala's niece from her brother came to live with them following the death of her mother. She was saddened that her half-sister was living elsewhere but was uncertain of living in Tartosa with an Aunt and cousins she had never met before as well.

While Veniera was quick to warm up to their new household member, Felicita did not want her cousin to take her mother's attention from her. She already had a sister for that and would often bite when Raquel came close to her but after she caught Raquel crying in the bathroom Felicita finally asked her what was wrong to which she answered that she missed her mom and sister and her home and that she didn't want to live with her Aunt but had nowhere else to go. When Felicita thought about how she would feel if she was separated from her sisters and mother and made to live with a stranger she started to cry but quickly decided that she could at least share sisterhood with her cousin and declared that Raquel and her could be new sisters. Though Raquel appreciated her cousin's sentiments and it did help her feel more at home in Tartosa she still missed her old life dearly.

But little by little, Felicita and Veniera helped her to heal to the best of their abilities by talking with her and showing her love and the best care an almost six year old and three year old could provide.

By August, Giulia and Giovanni's home was invaded once more by another one of Giulia's cousins, Isabella this time. The Morosini home was used as a meetup place where Isabella met with Ferdinando's widow after the loss of her husband that June. The two had been exchanging letters since getting in contact through Talia's Tome years ago and now they finally met in person.

The two made sure they were alone and wasted no time getting to know each other the way they had been hoping to for quite some time. Sadie's son didn't care either way about his mother's new lover as he was mostly concerned about the new town and would frequently get their attentions anyways.

While Isabella and Sadie were "exploring the town" or "running errands", Giulia and Giovanni were more than happy to care for Sadie's little boy. They loved having a child in the home that was actually here to stay though Giovanni did resent that another person's child was sleeping in the bed he had hoped his own kid would sleep in one day but despite continually trying, there was still no hint of Giulia getting pregnant.

Life felt short as Sadie's brother passed in the war in September and so early in October while Giulia and Giovanni were taking care of their chickens and the garden, Isabella proposed to Sadie that even if they couldn't officially marry she wanted to spend her life with Sadie. To her delight, Sadie readily agreed.

While they suspected that at least Giulia knew of their true relationship, Isabella and Sadie still had to sneak around to find little moments where they could show affection with one another as it wasn't as if their relationship would be accepted by all. Still, it was as if each day they fell further and further in love with each other.

By mid-November what little patience they had ran out and the pair secretly swore that while the church, their families and perhaps even the world may not recognize it as legitimate, they would love and cherish each other as wives for the rest of their lives.

Not a week after Sadie and Isabella's secret elopement, Felicita turned six.

Veniera spent most of her time playing with Giulia's chicken who made a point of somehow finding her way all the way at their home as a regular guest. Giulia had no clue how it happened but whenever she was a chicken short she could count on the thing being at her childhood home with her baby sister.

With Felicita officially being older, she and Raquel spent time down by the water. While it was cold being December, neither girl particularly minded as they talked about everything under the sun from Raquel feeling for her losses, which was more thoughtful to speak of as time had given Felicita a bit more insight than she had when she was five, to sand castles logistics.

With the girls getting older and the older two spending more time together and out of the house, Tala was enjoying being able to spend more one on one time with her youngest like she had with Felicita. As much as she enjoyed knowing her girls had each other for company, it was nice to finally have the ability to dote on her daughter individually as well now that Felicita had outgrown her clingy toddlerhood phase.

NCIS: Los Angeles Season 13 Rewatch:  “Live Free or Die Standing”

The basics:  When a whistleblower is chased by the drug cartels and a DEA Agent is killed, the team and Talia Del Campo start the search.

Written by:  Eric Christian Olsen co-wrote "Mother" in season 11.

Directed by: Daniela Ruah directed "Russia, Russia, Russia", "Lost Soldier Down" and "Pandora's Box".

Guest stars of note: Mercedes Mason returns as DEA Agent Talia Del Campo, last seen in "The Guardian", part one of the three-part season 10 finale/season 11 premiere.  And since we're talking about the three-parter, who killed Ellie Simms?  Duncan Campbell as NCIS Special Agent Castor, back from “Hard for the Money”.  Brian Leigh Smith was Bomb Tech Aaron Roberts, a role he played in “Mother” but he also appeared as a police officer in "Overwatch" and was a wingman in "The Bear" season 12 premiere.  Rick Pasqualone as Martin Henderson, Goya Robles as Miguel Flores, Dan Gauthier as Carlyle Huntington, Larry Herron as DEA Agent David Ramirez, Carolina Gutierrez as Emma Ruiz, Alicia Urizar as Isabella Cruz, Pam Trotter as Loretta Dawson/Desk Clerk and Sheila Wills as Thelma.

Our heroes:  Try to save a marked man.

What important things did we learn about:

Callen:   Not here. Sam:   Teamed with both Fatima and Rountree during different parts of the episode. Kensi:  Teases Deeks about a mancave. Deeks:  Looking to spend their money on a welcome to the family package for Rosa or Pilar. Fatima:   Tackling gun runners. Rountree:  Never saw “Top Gun” but knows Goose dies. Kilbride:  Filled with righteous indignation.

What not so important things did we learn about:

Callen: Absent.   Sam:  15-minutes early or you’re late. Kensi:  Likes the mindful breakfast. Deeks: Jacks down a breakfast man-shake like a Neanderthal. Fatima:   Etsy fan. Rountree: Man-shake fan, too. Kilbride:  Voted red since Coolidge and has lots of guns.

Where in the world is Henrietta Lange?  Who knows but she should check in soon – Eric Beale is mailing out checks.

Who's down with OTP:  Kensi and Deeks were great if a little forced.  

Who's down with BrOTP:  Not Talia and Rountree.  Those scenes were not great.

Fashion review:   Sam is wearing a long-sleeve black tee-shirt has he has for a lot of episodes this season.  Kensi is wearing her white sweater with the thin blue stripes.  For Deeks, a royal blue henley.  Fatima has a multi-color quarter zip zipped all the way up under a dark blue jacket.  A long-sleeve green tee for Rountree.  The Admiral is in a dark blue suit, white dress-shirt and an aquamarine tie.

Music: No.

Any notable cut scene:   One.  In the retirement home, Rountree and Talia are going to speak to a Wayne Brown.  Brown bought several weapons.  Banging on his door and not getting a response, Rountree wonders if Brown is at the gun range.  Talia shoots back debating if he’s “tossing his hot dog down the hallway.”  Rountree thinks Talia is an HR nightmare.  As a diligent federal agent, Talia thinks they should be checking to see if Brown is “shampooing the Wookie.”  Brown’s nurse brings the sleeping man to his apartment in a wheelchair.  He’s sound asleep.  Calling Rountree “Rounbush”, Talia thinks Brown can only butter his own buns.

Quote:  Anything from an angry Admiral in this episode.  From interrogation with Huntington, to yelling at the team to save Henderson to cursing at the gods for the system’s decision to bury Henderson’s video – this was a great episode for the Admiral and Gerald McRaney.

Anything else:  A shootout is happening in the dark.  Two men are running upstairs.  One says “Please God help us.”  They make their way to the roof of the building.  With just a chair to barricade the door, one man, armed and who looks like law enforcement says he’ll watch the door.  The other man goes down the fire escape to get away from the shooters.  Before he starts down, the man at the door says “Don’t trust anybody.  They’ve got people everywhere.”

With the fellow climbing down the fire escape, the man at the door tries to reposition himself.  He’s been shot.  Gun drawn, he waits for what’s on the other side of the door.

As the other man gets to the street, he pulls out his cellphone and tries to get it to work.  Before he can, the headless body of the man barricading the door lands at his feet.  The people in the street start screaming and running.  The survivor is covered with blood spatter.

At 7:58AM, Kensi and Deeks arrive at the office.  They are greeted by Sam’s “It’s about time.”  Deeks points out they are actually two minutes early to work.  That makes them 13-minutes late is Sam’s world.  Deeks likes being early too but Kensi has the “clock management skills of a tree sloth.”  Kensi likes a mindful breakfast while Deeks inhales a “man-shake” like a Neanderthal.  

Looking at an envelope on his desk, Deeks thinks it is a Dear John letter from Eric Beale.  Sam and Kensi both have an envelope as well.  There are instructions on the envelope that nobody should open theirs until everyone is present.  Sam says “we” have been waiting for Kensi and Deeks to arrive.  Deeks asks who is we?  We includes Rountree at his desk, drinking his own man-shake.  Inspector Deeks just learns about the desks by the old wardrobe.

Sam, Kensi, Deeks and Rountree open their envelopes to find a $10,000 check for each of them.  Eric writes that in Silicon Valley, success is confused with happiness.  Eric is sharing some of his success with his friends and hope it makes them happy.  Deeks thinks Eric was inspired by Gibbs (great call-out show).  There is also a $10,000 check to each of the team member’s favorite charities.   Eric’s only stipulation is that the gift has to be spent – no putting it in the bank.  

Rountree finds Eric to be a modern-day Robin Hood.  Only if the Sheriff of Nottingham is riding on a Segway talking Klingon Sam adds.  Deeks would strap on some green tights and be Eric’s Merry Man for $10,000.  The Admiral makes a note of that offer and adds it to the growing list of things he can’t unsee now that he’s with OSP.  They have a case.  Deeks asks if the Admiral got a check.  He did.  And he’s ordering noise-canceling headphones and soundproof glass for his office.  Deeks giggles all the way to Ops.

In Ops, Deeks tells Fatima to check her desk. She already has and has been “doom scrolling” on Etsy until she heard from a very special guest.  Talia Del Campo pops up on the big screen – she’s on a plane and opens with “Welcome Avengers.”  She wishes she was there to give everyone extra gluten muffins and Deeks a long and inappropriate hug.  That gets a “Yes please” from Deeks and laughs from everyone else.  

All was well with Talia until 24-hours ago when the DEA lost contact with one of their agents who was on a protection detail with a cartel whistleblower.  The DEA Agent was the man barricading the door – David Ramirez.  There are some really terrible headless photos on the big screen – don’t do that show.  Sam offers condolences.  Worried about the whistleblower, Talia turns the briefing over the Fatima.

The missing man is Martin Henderson, a 20-year Navy veteran who retired to work in sales and distribution for a firearms manufacturer.  Henderson found that straw buyers were being used to make weapons sales and those weapons were being shipped to the cartels in Mexico.  Mexico has one legal gun shop in the whole country and they sell about 10,000 guns a year.  These straw purchases are moving 250,000 guns illegally into Mexico each year.  

Fatima asks her little “Norwegian Weasel” if he has any guesses why there isn’t a crackdown on this.  He doesn’t have an answer.  Since nobody wants American guns in the hands of Mexican criminals, the Mexican government is trying to crackdown by suing the gun manufacturers the way the parents in Sandy Hook did.  Martin Henderson was supposed to testify about the gun sales.  Talia expects to arrive in 30-minutes.  She has two addresses for the team to check out.  With the clock ticking, Sam knows there will be six different body bags for Henderson if the cartels find him first.

As Deeks drives, he is looking for an update from Fatima.  Henderson has not contacted his family or the DEA.  The addresses Talia sent was the only leads.  One is connected to Carlyle Huntington, Henderson’s boss.  Fatima sends a photo that Kensi considers a “hard swipe right”.  Huntington has a clean record and a lot of money with homes in LA, Manhattan, ranch house in New Mexico and a penthouse in Mexico City.  Kaleidoscope caught him entering a restaurant called La Bocca Felice, which impresses Deeks.  Sam and Rountree are on their way.

Feeling he lost a bet, Deeks asks why are they going to Lancaster.  There is an address that is the last thing Henderson sent out before disappearing.  The address is a large ranch house being remodeled.  Sam is worried – nobody knows what is in Lancaster so he wants Kensi and Deeks to be careful.  

During the drive to Lancaster, Deeks asks Kensi if she has any idea what they should do with their $20,000.  Kensi thinks put it back in the house.  Make the garage a staycation paradise, maybe get a pool table.  Deeks is intrigued.  Get a flat screen TV, a minifridge and a golden shark.  Deeks laughs and calls her cruel and heartless.  Kensi laughs at how the joy in his eyes all melted away.  Deeks is offended she’d use his golden shark to trick him.  He’d also like to know what are they going to do with the money – “for real.”  

Since they’ve been busy and it only just happened, Kensi doesn’t really have plans.  Deeks does.  He’s thinking satellite phone, iPad, monogramed towels.  Kensi says they have all those things.  They do but maybe for Pilar or Rosa.  Deeks has been reading and part of adopting a teen from another country after making them feel safe and loved is giving them the opportunity to stay in contact with their extended family.  Kensi loves Deeks and thinks it is so thoughtful.  But since she brought up the golden shark, why not a pinball machine?

Blowing right past the parking valet, Sam and Rountree walk into La Bocca Felice.  Huntington is having a meal with a female friend.  As Sam and Rountree go to Huntington, two bodyguards try to stop them.  They are not good bodyguards – they are in handcuffs in short order.  

Walking up to the table, Sam notices Huntington is drinking an expresso martini at 10AM.  “Well, I don’t do coke anymore.”   He also denies that the bodyguards were with him – he’s never seen them before.  With his date leaving early, Huntington is willing to talk to Sam and see “how poorly our tax dollars are spent.”  

On the phone, the Admiral is exasperated.  Nobody got Henderson’s testimony in writing.  Anything would be better than nothing and the way things are going, they have nothing.  

Kensi and Deeks pull up to a house under construction in his truck.  Deeks has been watching the show.  He can’t understand why they say “federal agents” since everyone either runs away or starts shooting.  God bless you Martin A. Deeks.  He thinks they should yell Jonas Brothers and honestly, I’m, not 100% on board for that.  Kensi still says “federal agents” as they kick in the door.  The house is empty but under construction.  

Fatima calls.  There is video of Kensi and Deeks getting out of the truck and going into the house.  NCIS’s threat management team picked it up on the internet.  They’re being watched.  Since they’re in “frickin’ Egypt” there is no time for back-up.  Kensi asks could the footage be from a hacked surveillance camera.  She and Deeks hid near the windows, gun drawn.  Fatima can see them in the house in the video.  They are right outside of the house.  Deeks finds this all a bummer, he didn’t plan on bleeding today.  Kensi thinks the $10,000 shouldn’t go to hospital bills.  Going outside, everyone is gone.  All the construction workers are gone but their trucks and equipment are still there.  They wanted Kensi and Deeks to know they were being watched.  

In interrogation, Sam finds it interesting that Huntington didn’t ask why he was being brought in.  Huntington isn’t interested in acting oblivious.  He knows Henderson is missing.  Sam asks for a reason Henderson would be missing and Huntington snarks about a second family.  He knows about Henderson working the DEA and NCIS dropping by his “brunch with benefits” confirms that.  Huntington finds it odd that Henderson’s ex-wife and daughters haven’t approached him.  He has contacts all over the world and they didn’t ask for help.  They didn’t ask for help because Henderson is working against him.  Selling guns and ammo isn’t for everyone.  Henderson obviously became “allergic” to his great salary and hefty 401K.  

Pushing back, Sam thinks Henderson learned about the straw buyers.  Saying his company is bulletproof (pun intended), Huntington invites NCIS to get a warrant and look thought all of his paperwork, they haven’t broken a single law.  The ATF is in Huntington’s offices right now looking around.  They aren’t going to find anything.  Huntington does tell Sam and Rountree that the two bodyguards at the restaurant really weren’t working for him.  Now, if someone really believes that guns purchased from Huntington’s company are smuggled into Mexico, the cartels have a good reason to keep Huntington safe.  Leaving interrogation, Rountree tells Huntington that he doesn’t like him.  Huntington tells him the night is still young.  

In the main room, the Admiral doesn’t like Huntington either.  Fatima pops up on the plasma, she has over 100 gun purchases coming from a single address with the names of multiple buyers.  Talia has arrived and is looking for “a wingman to be her Goose.”  Rountree asks “who’s Goose” and it is hard to tell who is more offended, Sam or the Admiral.  Sam can’t believe Rountree never saw “Top Gun”.  “Of course he hasn’t, unless it’s in 30-second clips on TikTok or they’ve made it with vampires.”  Rountree gets to work with Talia today while the Admiral tries to work on Huntington.  As he leaves, Sam tells Rountree that Goose dies in “Top Gun”.  Rountree is not pleased.  The Admiral is going after Huntington.

Walking into interrogation, the Admiral is greeted by Huntington with an AARP joke or “Bring Grandpa to work day.”  The Admiral admits he’s 74 (when the episode was filmed, so was Gerald McRaney).  He should be living on a beach in Costa Rica, reading a cheap spy novel and drinking an expensive single malt.  Instead, he’s in LA.  He goes on a long tirade about LA types.  

Moving to the wrong side of the table, the Admiral needs a name of someone who can find Henderson.  Huntington replies “Keyser Soze.”  That gets a chuckle from the Admiral for being clever but look where clever got him.  Huntington thinks clever got him a lunch date with a woman half his age and twice as hot.  

Getting serious, the Admiral explains that if Henderson is caught by the cartels, he’s getting a Columbian necktie and the Admiral goes into great detail on how that happens.  Touching  the Admiral’s suit, Huntington asks if that would be considered business causal.  The 74-year old Admiral takes Huntington’s hand, turns his wrist and has him face down on the edge of the table.  Asking one more time, the Admiral wants a name.  Huntington blurts out “Miguel Flores”.  As the Admiral leaves, Huntington said he didn’t see Kilbride as a “smug, anti-gun snowflake”.  He’s not – he’s voted red since Coolidge and he’s got more guns than Huntington has empty bottles of Viagra.  This is about choosing financial gain over human decency.  

In the main room, Sam is impressed.  The Admiral admits having not made a move like that since BUD/S.  Fatima is back on the plasma.  Miguel Flores is an immigrant who became a US citizen after spending 10-years in the Navy.  Now, Flores crosses the border daily with handipainted tiles.  Fatima can’t find a brick and mortar address for Flores but he has a boat near Sam’s and two expensive vehicles – a Raptor and a Ducati.  

As Sam is about to go to the boat alone, the Admiral reminds him they work in teams.  Fatima is out of Ops and working with Sam.  The Admiral wants blood, answers or both.  He’d really like both.

Clearing the perimeter of the house, Kensi arrives at the home’s garage where there are three additional locks.  Deeks finally gets in by doing a crane kick and they find the expensive Raptor with handmade Mexican tile.  

Screeching to a stop, Talia jumps out of her Honda and apologizes for being late.  She makes several In-n-Out jokes and Rountree isn’t there for it.  Approaching the front desk of this retirement home, Talia introduces herself and Agent Squaretree.  When Rountree corrects her, the two bicker and the desk clerk is not amused.  Fatima wants a list of residents, some have purchased over 100 guns.  The clerk gladly turns it over with a warning that if they are going to talk to anyone, knock hard.  It was water aerobics day and after 10AM, that place becomes frisky.  Rountree could have lived without that image.   As Rountree and Fatima walk up the stairs to find the residents, a younger woman – obviously not a resident – walks down.

Exiting his car, Sam talks about spending the $10,000 as an extension of your happiness.  Sam would take a family vacation, maybe help Kam with a car down payment.  Fatima asks as a millennial, should she stop buying useless items from Etsy.  Depends, Sam tells her.  “Do they spark joy?”  Coming across the Ducati, Sam asks for Miguel Flores, who is working on his boat.  Sam goes “federal agent” and really should have gone Jonas brother.  Flores takes off.  Sam chases while Fatima goes around.  When Flores goes where Fatima stationed herself, she blocks him into the water.  

After examining the truck, Kensi finds it squeaky clean.  Thinking that moving Mexican tile doesn’t pay for expensive trucks and a fancy motorcycle, Deeks uses a broomstick to try to get into a strange spot in the ceiling.  Deeks is a fan of the home repair shows and Zillow porn surfing.  Climbing into the overhead, Deeks is walking around when he finds a dead body when he falls through the ceiling.  

In handcuffs, Flores says he doesn’t live in the house.  He just drives the tiles back and forth.  Fatima promises NCIS can help him but he thinks he’s dead man walking.  His family – mom, dad, two little brothers – all depend on him for money.  If the cartels learn he’s talking to NCIS, the family will be killed.

A woman named Thelma invites Talia and ”Agent Rounleaf” into her apartment.  They think Thelma is a straw buyer but she has guns.  They are old fashion rifles.  Thelma hasn’t bought any of the guns no the list.  When asked about her ID, Thelma tells them there was a robbery in the building so the front office keeps the IDs safe.  The desk clerk collected the IDs.  When Talia and Rountree go back to see the desk clerk, her throat was cut.

In the boat shed, Huntington’s lawyer arrived.  She tells the Admiral that Huntington is returning to New Mexico on a six o’clock private flight so she wants to wrap things up.  

The bomb squad checked out the house.  No bombs.  The bad news is their sub-surface tech found something in the walls of the house.  While Kensi is asking how they can look into the walls, Deeks just busts one up.  There are guns all through the walls.  

In an NCIS-style Zoom call with the faces on the plasma, Talia and Rountree matched the out of state IDs with the purchases of the guns.  The desk clerk was the straw buyer.  Lawyer Deeks says even if they can connected the guns and Loretta to the cartels, that doesn’t give them anything against Huntington’s company.  Sam doesn’t want to get caught in the weeds – Henderson can make all those connections when they find him.   They have to get either Huntington or Flores to flip.  The Admiral will start with Huntington.

With his lawyer in interrogation, Huntington waits.  When the Admiral walks in and tells him he can go but not before calling him a few names.  More than a few.  The lawyer doesn’t thinks they have to listen to the Admiral.  Huntington gets off a few shots at the “Captain”.  Saying that the country was born in genocide and hasn’t had a good war since the Great War.  When Huntington finishes, the Admiral says he was a solider who fought for Huntington’s right to be a jackass.  

Huntington continue to talk about soldiers fighting because big business wants them to.  The Admiral calls Huntington a war profiteer who can sleep at night because of the distanced between him and the bodies his weapons killed.  Huntington replies about drones killing children and calling it diplomacy.   When the Admiral talks about a particular atrocity committed by the cartels, Huntington says that means there are less mouths to feed.  “Does your dead mother in heave know what you’ve become?”  

Standing, Huntington’s lawyer wants them to go.  The Admiral talks about Huntington’s mother, a church secretary and a middle school teacher.  She made people’s lives better and is crying in heaven because “what you are is an abomination.”  Huntington breaks – he could tell every the Admiral every straw buyer, every cartel person who gets a gun but nothing will happen because of the corrupt lawyers and lobbyists and judges.  Pointing to his lawyer, Huntington says he didn’t hire her, the cartels did to keep the system safe.  She pulls out a pen and asks him to get up and go.  When Huntington is about to give up Henderson’s location, the lawyer stabs Huntington in the neck with the pen.  Huntington is dying. While tending to Huntington, the Admiral calls for Castor to arrest the lawyer.  Huntington is foaming at the mouth – there was poison on the pen.

Stopping LAPD before Flores is put into the back of a black and white, Sam begs Flores to help them.  Fatima says NCIS is ready to get his family from Mexico and bring them to the US, granting them asylum.  Flores turns them down.  His family will be dead before the agents get there.  Sam understands that the cartel helped him get to the Navy, get dual citizenship.  With the power to save a man’s life, Flores can strike down the monsters who own him and his family.  Flores asks for his phone.  Sam says the right thing to do and the hardest thing to do are the same thing.  Flores finds out Henderson was found – he’s in a warehouse in Culver City.

Sam and Fatima are five-minutes out from the warehouse.  If he survives with a speeding Talia, Rountree things he’s seven-minutes out.  The Culver City PD is ten-minutes out and the building is on fire.  Sam and Fatima do not have full face respirators to go into the fire – budget cuts.  Fatima found something to buy with her $10,000.  Rountree and Talia have them.  The Admiral orders, “Sam, save this man.”  

As they get to the warehouse, Sam and Fatima are immediately under fire.  The Hellcat and the gunmen get shot up.  Taking some deep breaths, Sam runs into the fire.  In the warehouse is the woman Rountree and Talia passed at the retirement home.  She’s shooting at Sam while everything is on fire.  Sam follows her.  In the middle of the warehouse with flames around him, Sam finds Henderson covered in his own blood.

As the woman who Sam was chasing before finding Henderson is about to flee, she is stopped by Talia.  Talia warns her to drop the gun.  The woman would “rather die standing.”  Talia tells her to shut up and drop the gun.  The woman asks if Talia believes in the devil.  Talia does.  When the woman brings her arm up to shoot Talia, Talia shoots her on the spot.  “Tell him I say hello.”  The woman tries to take Talia out before dying.  She is killed.

Sam runs out of the burning building with a dying Henderson in a fireman’s hold.  Getting into the ambulance, Sam tells the EMTs that Henderson must live.  Rountree sees Henderson was holding onto his phone.  Looking at the phone, he sees that Henderson was recording.  Asked what to do with it, Rountree is told by Fatima to send it to the office and hope it was worth the lives of two good men.

The Admiral is arguing with someone on the phone because while the video can’t be used as testimony it could be used for probative value.  The Admiral gets a text – Henderson died going to the hospital.  Livid, the Admiral says he will bury the video.  Kensi and Deeks arrive and the Admiral is screaming in frustration in his office.  Deeks notes the soundproof glass has not arrived.  The Admiral marches to Ops, telling Kensi and Deeks they weren’t in the office, they saw nothing.  Deeks thinks murders often make that statement.

Kensi is willing to spend her $10,000 to buy a time machine so they can go back.  They can do this case again only smarter, faster, so Henderson survives.  Deeks wouldn’t mind not riding the “corpse coaster” from the ceiling.  Kensi’s phone buzzes, so does Deeks.  A blocked number sends a message to over 200 NCIS staffers.  Putting it up on the bullpen’s plasma, it is Henderson’s video.  The guns were marketed to Mexican cartels using quotes of Mexican heroes on the guns slides.  Everyone knew they were sold to straw buyers.  Henderson said he can’t look another atrocity committed by the cartels and know that he played a role in this – he didn’t want to be a whistleblower but now he is.  

Kensi and Deeks watch from the bullpen.  Rountree watches with Talia in the warehouse parking lot.  Sam is watching in the ambulance with Henderson’s body.  In the video, Henderson talks about being the father of two beautiful girls, spending 20-years with the Navy defending his country and 10-years selling his soul.  He knew what he was doing was wrong.  It ate away at his soul.  “Speak the truth and the dawn will come.”  He says goodbye to his daughters and is shot.  “I love you so much.”  The woman Talia shot kills him, complete with the line about believing in the devil.  

Kensi and Deeks looks up and sees Kilbride at the top of the stairs.  They all know what he did.

What head canon can be formed from here:   This should have been a better episode.  Parts of it – where they weren’t overdoing the comedy, were terrific.  The goofy physical humor with Deeks, the bad behaving Talia to Rountree – who has done nothing to earn her dismissive attitude – was all just a bit too much.   It works so hard against the amazing work in the dramatic scenes.  

Based on the show’s history, wouldn’t Kensi inhale a shake for breakfast while Deeks have a mindful morning meal?  

For those wondering, a gift of $10,000 is not a taxable event and will not trigger an audit.  That number has gone up recently but $10,000 is the commonly thought threshold.  Eric talked to a good tax lawyer.

Episode number:  Episode 299 overall, the 19th episode of season 13.

Year 1643

TW/CW: Death Mention, Homophobia

The year started out calmly enough as Sadie and Isabella prepared for the birth of their child. Larissa's daughter, Hestor married into the Mayne family following the death of the previous family head's wife the previous March. Things were looking up.

Unfortunately, that didn't last as Sadie and Isabella slipped up with their secret relationship and Giovanni finally discovered it.

He couldn't believe that they had been having such a relationship under his roof. Clearly, he thought, that he and his wife had been far too generous with their hospitality that this indecency would occur. He gave the couple until the end of the week to gather their things and leave his home as he would be travelling and wanted them gone before his return other wise he would report them to the rest of the town.

Giulia was horrified to learn that her husband was going to report her beloved cousin and her love but she had little say over his actions and so she did what she could to help them pack after her husband left. During this time, Giulia tried to get them a place to stay since it wasn't as if they could build a home with a young child and while expecting. To her own surprise, her maternal grandmother was willing to take the couple in as she had been widowed again by the war besides, she was no stranger to unconventional relationships subtly implying that Giulia's own mother was the result of the very same magic that allowed for Isabella and Sadie to conceive. Despite her cousin having a safe place to go, it was still a tearful farewell that the two shared before they parted ways.

Still, Giovanni returned home and was content with his course of action calling himself quite benevolent as other folks wouldn't have given the women a grace period to make themselves scarce. For Giovanni the good news kept coming as the new husband his cousin's widow had married died in the war without a child meaning his cousin's son would be uncontested as the heir of the Markovic family still. And he wasn't so heartless that he wasn't relieved to hear that Sadie and Isabella's daughter was born healthy in June.

It was so much lonelier in the home though without the little family and Giulia found herself trying to keep busy to keep her mind off of how empty the home felt.

But the loneliness wasn't to last as after several years of marriage, Giulia was confident that she was finally expecting.

When she finally started showing with just the slightest of bumps, she was deeply excited to share the news with Giovanni. He was equally excited to see the barest hints of their newest family member though he was fully aware that Giulia had chosen to wear the clothes that most drew attention to the bump to tell him the news because it was still difficult to truly tell.

But as months passed, Giulia was very clearly expecting and while some women preferred to not announce their pregnancy, Giulia flaunted it in fears that it would be another several years to even dream of being pregnant again.

The Morosinis had never truly been close before but now that they were expecting, they were at least on the same page in terms of excitement in private. Giovanni didn't want to show too much interest in public as children were mostly a women's thing but away from the public eye Giulia swore that he was more interested in her pregnancy that she was and it was inside her.

‘The Owl House’: It’s a Hoot!

You would never think that the dark art of 15th century Dutch artist Hieronymus Bosch would serve as the inspiration for a children’s cartoon. Well, thanks to Dana Terrace and her wild imagination, the strange creatures conjured by the European painter have found their way in the new Disney Channel series The Owl House. The show, which debuts in January, and is already in production of its second season, follows the adventures of a young teenage girl named Luz who decides to pursue her dreams of becoming a witch after she stumbles into a strange realm, inhabited by feisty witch Eda and her tiny warrior friend King.

Terrace, a former director on DuckTales and storyboard artist on Gravity Falls, recalls starting to collect her notes and images and putting together her pitch for the story back in 2015. Then, she finally began pitching her story about a young girl who becomes a witch’s apprentice only a few months after she started directing DuckTales.

“Many of the characters have barely changed since then,” recalls Terrace. “I knew I wanted an older witch mentor figure and a young optimistic girl who was the main character, who learns and grows throughout the show. There’s also this trickster little jerk character named King (voiced by Gravity Falls creator Alex Hirsch).”

The setting for The Owl House changed a little bit since its early days. Terrace says for a brief time, she was toying with the idea of the whole show being set after the young character dies, so that the Owl House is all set in the afterlife. What really had a clear impact on her work is the work of artists such as Bosch, John Bauer, Remedios Varos and the puppetry of Jim Henson.

Real-Life Models

In addition to the crazy creatures of Bosch and religious illuminated manuscripts, Terrace found inspiration in some of the familiar elements in her life as well. “I have always wanted to tell a story about a rough-around-the-edges mother figure, based off of my aunt, nana and mother who raised me,” she recalls.

Terrace says the show’s central character Luz evolved from late-night conversations she used to have with her former roommate roommate and close college friend. “We were both dorks together,” she recalls. “We tried to cut our own hair and it never worked out. We didn’t have many friends. So, in a way, Luz bubbled out of our conversations. When I told her that I was going to base the main character on her, she said, ‘Yes , but you’ll have to make her Dominican.’ So that’s what happened. Luz now also works on the show as a storyboard artist and consultant, and I get to work with my best friend every day.”

As a young girl, Terrace used sneak into the living room to watch cartoons and copy what she liked in her flip books. Her love for shows such as The Simpsons, Pokémon, The PowerPuff Girls and Studio Ghibli movies finally lead her to study animation at School of Visual Arts in New York and make her way out to L.A. to pursue a career in the animation business. Her first big break happened when someone discovered her art blog and sent her a storyboarding test, which led to her landing a job at Gravity Falls and opened other doors as well.

During her big pitch to Disney, Terrace says she was a bit worried to mention Bosch and his odd, evil creatures, but to her surprise, one of the executive’s response was, “Heck, yeah!” “They have been nothing more than enthusiastic and helpful from day one,” she notes.

After spending a good year writing and making the pilot, Terrace began building her production team in 2018. Art director Ricky Cometa and supervising producer Stephen Sandoval also joined the Disney TV Animation production. At capacity, the show has about 50 staffers as part of its pre-production crew, and an overall count of 120 including the overseas teams at Sunwoo, Rough Draft and Sugarcube in Korea. We’ve been very fortunate to work with all of them,” says Terrace. “They’ve made the show really, really spark.” 

The Owl House has attracted a top-notch list of vocal talent as well, including Wendie Malick as Eda, Hirsch as King and Sarah-Nicole Robles as Luz. Among the guest star lineup for the show’s first season are Matthew Rhys, Isabella Rossellini, Tati Gabrielle, Issac Ryan Brown, Mae Whitman, Bumper Robinson and Parvesh Cheena. Terrace points out that having a sterling class led by Malick has been a real treat. “Our witch could have been a very hard character to cast, because we wanted to have sass and energy, and Wendie was absolutely perfect. She came in with all her talent and experience, and my first instinct was ‘You don’t need any direction. Do whatever you want to do because you are amazing!”

She also mentions that she knew Alex Hirsch was going to end up playing the little sidekick King. “I used to hear him pitch when I worked on Gravity Falls. I knew that he can bring a lot to the characters he plays. He would also give me some helpful advice about running his own show and working at Disney.”

Art director Ricky Cometa (Steven Universe, Costume Quest) says he was swept away by Terrace’s wild ideas and spectacular imagery, things that were not usually seen in children���s animation. “The second she came in and said, ‘I want you to read this show bible. The first thing that caught my eye was ‘Bosch and the demon world?’ I very much needed help to figure out what this world looks like. We had this blank canvas and there was a lot of religious iconography. I knew we were going to push the boundaries. I mean we are doing the demon realm on the Disney Channel? You bet I’m in!” 

Cometa points out that it was clear that they needed to balance the darker aspects of the witch’s world with the more light-hearted and fun components of Luz’s comical adventures. “At first, I wasn’t sure how dark we could have made the world this world that Luz jumps into initially. We had to make clear decisions about when the story needed to be scary— when do we highlight the darker moments versus when the story is lighthearted and welcoming. It was all about finding that right balance of warmth and spookiness.”

Terrace agrees. “If we made everything super scary and spooky — which is something I’m not afraid of, scaring my audience — but if we made everything the same color, then the scary parts and the day-to-day light-hearted parts wouldn’t have popped. We needed that contrast for writing purposes.”

Amazingly enough, Terrace is only the fourth woman to solely create and run an animated series for Disney — following in the footsteps of Sue Rose (Pepper Ann), Chris Nee (Doc McStuffins) and Daron Nefcy (Star vs. The Forces of Evil). She says one of her biggest challenges on the show was going through the learning process to run a writer’s room, which includes four other writers and a writer’s assistant. “Before this show I had always written and drawn my own comics and cartoons, but this was the first time I had written scripts professionally. Learning the process of writing scripts and learning to run a writers’ room was probably the biggest challenge for me. Luckily, I was with a team of talented writers, and we all kind of learned together. Most of that team has carried on to the second season, and we’re very excited to keep writing together.

As the show begins its run on Disney Channel, Terrace says that ultimately she hopes audiences will be entertained by Luz’s world and her off-the-wall adventures. “There are so many different kinds of animated shows out there and so many traditional and streaming services, that I don’t think it’s possible to have a gigantic blowout hit anymore. At the end of the day, no matter how much stuff is out there, stories with interesting core characters and relatable, understandable stories will shine through.”

Art director Ricky Cometa (Steven Universe, Costume Quest) says he was swept away by Terrace’s wild ideas and spectacular imagery, things that were not usually seen in children’s animation. “The second she came in and said, ‘I want you to read this show bible. The first thing that caught my eye was ‘Bosch and the demon world?’ I very much needed help to figure out what this world looks like. We had this blank canvas and there was a lot of religious iconography. I knew we were going to push the boundaries. I mean we are doing the demon realm on the Disney Channel? You bet I’m in!”

ARTISTAS REPRESENTATIVOS DE LA ÉPOCA COLONIAL, TÉCNICAS REPRESENTADAS Y QUÉ SIGNIFICAN

NOMBRES:ISABELLA TOBAR, ZOE ENRÍQUEZ, FELIPE VILLAGÓMEZ,ERICK CUEVA, FRANCESCA ESPINOZA, JUAN ESTEBAN CADENA 

CURSO: NOVENO “A”

PROFESOR: ALEXANDRA CHICAIZA

Imperio Español:

Artistas representativos:

El Greco (1541-1614) Francisco de Zurbarán (1598-1664)  Diego Velázquez (1599-1660) Bartolomé Esteban Murillo (1617-1682) 

Técnicas empleadas :

Modelado:

Constituye uno de los métodos escultórico más antiguos. Trabaja con materiales como la arcilla o el yeso, que permiten dar forma sin dificultad y facilitan una ejecución rápida. Esta técnica también es utilizada para realizar bocetos finales para piezas de otro material. Suele trabajarse directamente con las manos, pero también con espátulas, palillos, limas, etc. 

Talla en madera

El primer paso en el proceso de la talla en madera es cortar el bloque de madera con instrumentos para serrar (sierras, serruchos, etc.); después se moldea la figura (con gubias, cinceles, brocas, etc.), a partir de un modelo a escala; y a continuación se alisa (con limas, cepillos, papel de lija, etc.).La tallas pueden ser pintadas directamente o sobre una capa de yeso o tela que se ha añadido previamente a la figura. En ocasiones deja la madera en su estado natural (sólo se encera y se pule). Para el ensamblaje de pies, cabezas y brazos y otras partes corporales se utilizan colas y adhesivos sintéticos.Las piezas de madera se ajustan con clavijas, clavos o tornillos y las perforaciones se realizan con barrenas, berbiquíes y taladros ya sean de mano o eléctricos.

¿Qué representan sus esculturas?

Lo que representaban en las esculturas los artistas tenía que ver mucho con lo religiosos, con el propósito de darles más realismo y siguiendo la tradición de la imaginería española, estas imágenes se les colocaban pelucas, trajes a la medida, trajes a la medida, joyas y otros accesorios.

Imágenes de talla completa: cuando los rostros, manos y trajes están tallados en la madera, que luego era policromada.

Imágenes de vestir: Cuando solamente tenían tallados el rostro y las manos y eran vestidas con trajes y accesorios verdaderos.

Imágenes de tela enconada: Cuando se las tapaba el rostro y las manos y el traje se les moldeaba con telas engomadas y pintadas que daban forma.

Imágenes de relieve: Cuando sólo se tallaba un lado de la tabla y también se coloreaba.

Imágenes de botella: Son una especie de tríptico con pequeñas bisagras que cerrado adquiere la apariencia de una botella.

Vemos, por tanto, en el arte colonial los mismos estilos que se desarrollaron paralelamente en el Continente Europeo, principalmente, el Renacimiento, el Barroco y el Rococó.

Imperio Inglés:

Artistas representativos:

Los maestros locales de la pintura y escultura inglesa tardaron mucho en incorporar las innovaciones del Renacimiento, siendo los artistas de la corte Tudor en su mayoría extranjeros, como las destacadas figuras de Hans Holbein el Joven,​ Antonio Moro, Hans Eworth​William Scrots o Federico Zuccaro.También hubo destacados pintores extranjeros cuyo nombre no se ha conservado, como el llamado Claudia "Maestro de los retratos Brandon", el autor del retrato de Enrique VII o el autor del retrato de Henry Howard.

Las fases más violentas de la Reforma anglicana produjeron una intensa iconoclastia que destruyó casi todo el arte religioso medieval y cercenó la continuidad de los talleres ingleses de pintura y escultura.

Técnicas empleadas:

Fundición del Bronce:

El bronce es una aleación que contiene una mezcla de otros metales como el estaño y el cobre o el zinc y el plomo. El bronce es extremadamente fuerte y duradero. Cualquier obra de arte tallada puede durar siglos si se conserva bien. El bronce se ha utilizado en Europa desde la antigüedad para producir herramientas, armas, esculturas y obras decorativas. Esto continuó durante todo el período medieval.

Modelado de cera:

El modelado de cera es una forma única de arte que resulta en la creación de esculturas increíbles. Al igual que la arcilla, la cera también es versátil y puede modelarse en cualquier forma de arte. Las pinturas al óleo se utilizan para crear un tono de piel deseable y resaltar rasgos faciales sobresalientes. Desafortunadamente, todo el proceso de modelado de cera es tedioso y costoso.

¿Qué representan sus esculturas?

En este caso los ingleses siempre querían representar algo de sus logros, por lo cual una escultura bien hecha y aprobada por la realeza, se ponía en un lugar importante y visible para todos, querían representar su honor y principalmente su orgullo.

Imperio Portugués:

Artistas representativos:

Uno de los más importantes fue António da Costa, no se tiene mucho registro de su vida personal., pero se sabe que fue un escultor vastante reconocido más o menos por los años 1923 a 1934, fue uno de los más importantes de su época y en especial de Portugal. 

Técnicas empleadas:

 El procedimiento fundamental y clásico seguido por los escultores es el esculpido, sirviéndose de escoplo y buril o cincel según los casos pues incluso los otros procedimientos de fundir y moldear exigen más o menos retoques de cincel si la obra ha de salir perfecta. Se usan además el moldeado o vaciado, el cincelado, el repujado, el embutido, el grabado y el estampado o troquelado.

Esculpir consiste en quitar partículas al bloque ya desbastado hasta lograr obtener la figura que se pretende.

Moldear es dar a una pasta la deseada forma añadiendo o quitando porciones de masa.

Vaciar es obtener una forma en hueco o vacío para llenarla después con fundición o con una pasta cualquiera y lograr la positiva.

 ¿ Qué representan sus esculturas?

La escultura y el bajorrelieve fueron formas de arte en prácticamente todos los pueblos antiguos. Así representaban a sus deidades o entidades protectoras, ubicándose en templos, entradas de palacios u otros sitios estratégicos para la vida civil, religiosa o militar.

América y el sistema mundial:

Artistas representativos: 

Las obras procedentes de Sudamérica contienen una sección de sillerías de coro que datan de alrededor de 1674 y provienen del Monasterio de San Francisco, en Lima (Perú). La decoración de estas sillerías de coro, talladas con profusión, incluye imágenes de los santos franciscanos San Daniel Mártir, San Jaime de la Marca, y Luis de Toulouse, junto con cabezas de querubines, cariátides y máscaras grotescas. De la afamada Escuela Quiteña, en Ecuador, son varias excepcionales esculturas de madera policromada del siglo xviii: una Virgen de Quito (1700-1725), con labor de policromía de primorosa factura; una gran figura de El Arcángel San Miguel (1700-1750), uno de los santos más populares de toda Latinoamérica; y un grupo de cuatro esculturas alegóricas únicas que representan las postrimerías del hombre y datan de la segunda mitad del siglo xviii, las cuales se atribuyen a Manuel Chili, también conocido como Caspicara.

Técnicas empleadas:

Esculpir:

La técnica del esculpido es común en piezas arquitectónicas, así como en la fabricación de figuras. Los escultores han estado haciendo esculpidos de piedras durante siglos. Notablemente, cada región usó diferentes tipos de piedras para lograr su trabajo artístico. El mármol fue utilizado originalmente 

en Italia antes de ser exportado al norte de Europa. La piedra caliza también se usó en Europa y las piedras de alabastro son populares en países como Alemania, Inglaterra y España. El peso de la piedra hace que la estabilidad sea una consideración importante.

Las diferentes herramientas utilizadas para el tallado en piedra se han mantenido más o menos sin cambios desde la antigüedad. Se utilizan diferentes tamaños de herramientas en todos los procesos de tallado, cada uno dejando su marca. Las herramientas de desbaste dejan surcos profundos y desiguales, mientras que los cinceles planos logran resultados más finos y se utilizan como herramienta de acabado de superficies para arenisca, piedra caliza y mármol.

Tallado de madera:

La disponibilidad de los tipos de madera es el determinante clave para hacer diferentes tallados. Las maderas blandas como el cedro y el pino son más fáciles de tallar, mientras que las maderas duras como el roble y el nogal, son más difíciles de tallar pero más duraderas y permiten un tallado más elaborado y detalles más finos.

¿Qué representan sus esculturas?

Generalmente representaban lo religioso, político o militar, también trataban de representar todo lo que sentían y gracias la escultura lo podían representar.

El barroco en América

BARROCO AMERICANO: 

El barroco es un movimiento artístico europeo que surgió el siglo XVI. Ha sido considerado como la expresión artística del absolutismo y de la reacción católica ante la difusión de las ideas reformistas. Se caracterizó por su estilo recargado.

La escuela quiteña

La escuela quiteña son las expresiones artísticas (pintura, arquitectura y escultura) que nacieron en Ecuador durante la época colombina. Su desarrollo tuvo como escenario la Real Audiencia de Quito, hecho que ayudó a darle el nombre con el cual es reconocida.

Barroco:

El Barroco fue un período de la historia en la cultura occidental originado por una nueva forma de concebir el arte (el «estilo barroco») y que, partiendo desde diferentes contextos histórico-culturales, produjo obras en numerosos campos artísticos: literatura, arquitectura, escultura, pintura, música, ópera, danza, teatro, etc. Se manifestó principalmente en la Europa occidental, aunque debido al colonialismo también se dio en numerosas colonias de las potencias europeas, principalmente en Latinoamérica.

Tipos de Barroco:

Tenebrismo.

Realismo y Naturalismo.
