I guess there's a spoiler, but believe me that I'm ruining nothing... This started as a "binge worthy" series, but the past several episodes are getting predictable, farfetched, and infuriating, and this episode seems to be the worst yet.
The "Ethical Drug Emperess" routine is getting old, and the overly drawn-out feud between Mendoza and the Camilla/Cortez fiasco is just plain BORING! Teresa's consistently poor decisions, generally based on ethical & moral reasoning, don't fit with running a successful drug running business, and the constant failures certainly don't align with financial success. Couple that predictable and boring storyline with implausible scenarios, and it really begins to irritate rather than entertain.
For instance, Teresa is driving a metal panel van loaded with drugs and blows through a police blockade. The van gets through the crash with no mechanical damage to the steering, suspension, or drivetrain, but somehow manages to become a flaming projectile rolling down the highway with the steel sides of the van a blaze. They're forced to stop and unload the cargo because the steel sides are burning so intensely (how, I'n not sure because combustion requires heat, oxygen, and a fuel source, and steel isn't a fuel source below a couple thousand degrees). Predictably, the burning steel side panels spread to the bumper and on to the fuel tank, sending the van flying into the air... One doesn't have to be a firefighter or fire science major to evaluate that scenario for what it is; complete bovine excrement. I really don't know if I can finish this binge because there are still 2.5 seasons left.
