We're In This Together

IT’S OFFICIAL.

Look it was a good save and very nice of Teresa to go get him a rib eye come morning but this kid was NOT thinking about steak

Whatever you’ve done, you don’t need to hide from me. We’re in this together.

Listen, whatever you’ve done, you don’t need to hide from me. We’re in this together.

Hey nonny! P here! Glad you like our blog!! Other admins might chime in with other opinions but I think the simple answer is that she’s trapped. The drug world, from my completely limited, totally fictional point of view, isn’t one that you can easily just quit and walk away from. At first, she was doing what she had to do to survive. Making the jump from mule to Camila’s business partner wasn’t about opportunity and money, it was about becoming less easily disposable. Teresa’s only ever run and fought to survive. Right now in Malta, shes still on the run from Camila, and she’s still working to sell El Santo’s coke and pay off her debt to him. I don’t know if you know how big a metric ton is (approximately half an elephant), but a metric ton of anything is going to cost a lot and take a lot of time to move. She’s got two bounties on her head. One from Camila, and one from El Santo if she can’t sell the coke and pay him. But I think running the drugs herself is Teresa’s way of dealing with the immorality. She’s always advocated there being a better way to do business, and as shown in the last episode, she really is willing to risk a lot to save those who need saving. I think she tries really hard to live well despite her circumstances, and helping those in need (like the tarot reader in 3x01) makes her feel a little better about it.

at least, that’s how it started for her. but then...she’s good at being queen. we don’t know much about her life before guero, but i doubt teresa was as suited for it as she is for her new role. remember how quickly she impressed epifanio? then james? pote? camila? george? teresa has the stomach, the intellect, and the nerve to be queen, and i think she knows that. she knows she’s suited for it, knows she can succeed where others can’t, and there’s something addictive in that. as well as gratifying.
