FUNERALS

They all returned to dust in November --- Ramon Arellano Felix was killed in a gunfight and inurned in Tijuana, El Senor de Los Cielos was interred at the Jardines del Humaya in Culiacan after a botched plastic surgery, Popeye died from a ricochet and returned to Logan Heights, Jakiri succumbed to Covid-19 and was entombed at St. Margareth Memorial Park, The Outcast was felled by aneurysm and buried at the Franciscan Memorial Garden, the Narcos series concluding in La Voz as reported by Andrea Nunez for Season 3. 

In Small Heath, the ghost of the Sicilian Mafia from New York City roused the Irish, the Scots, the Chinese, the Jews and the gypsies who fell from the murderous rampage of The Honorable Thomas Shelby to curse the Peaky Blinders with the betrayal of Michael Gray and the Wall Street Crash, the haunting of Grace permeating Seasons 4-5 to plague Dr. Audrey Lim with PTSD from too much sex, Irish whiskey,  Sweet Aftons and 5 sleepless nights in Bakal 2.   

Lea and Shaun holed up at the Coronel Memorial Chapel for their daughter's wake and were feted by the Munoz Bodies with a Grey Goose Vodka and baby back ribs, by the Amaranths with Alfonso Brandy and crispy pata, by the Blue Lodge with cold beer and dinakdakan; Season 4 ending with a panty garter tug from The Good Doctor while the MILF from Bakal 2 wrapped up Episodes 11-20 with imagined hard nipples protruding through a black satin tank top.     

Through it all, The Phantom Biker rode across the bike trails of Nueva Ecija fueled by a strength potion Found in parts by Lily at the Cathedral of Our Lady of Perpetual Help in Oklahoma City, by Chloe at Temple Beth Israel in Phoenix, and by Sadie at the Cornerstone Church in Nashville that was enough to power him, Bulan and Balong for a Sunday walk through the orphanages of Guangdong.
