Deadline’s On Location Goes Behind The Scenes Of ‘Mayans M.C.’ As FX’s Mayans M.C. wraps its final season tonight, Deadline has your exclusive look at the penultimate day of filming in Santa Clarita, California. As the sets were being broken down to make way for a new production in the future, series co-creator Elgin James celebrated Crew Appreciation Day alongside stars J.D. Pardo, Clayton Cardenas, Carla Baratta, Emilio Rivera, Sarah Bolger, J.R. Bourne, Edward James Olmos, Gino Vento, Emily Tosta, Andrew Jacobs and Alex Barone. Maverick James who played Maverick Reyes, son of Adelita (Baratta) and Angel (Cardenas), was also part of the celebration as was Baratta’s son Diego who was inside her belly during the show’s second season and was worked into the storyline. For the festivities, the grounds were colorfully decorated and food trucks were serving the hungry and excited masses. Pardo and Rivera hosted a raffle giving away kuttes from both Sons of Anarchy and Mayans M.C. leaving it to the discretion of the winners. Bourne watched with a wide grin as the majority picked Mayans over his SAMCRO. Other popular items that were up for grabs included masks worn by Los Olvidados, M.C. patches framed and ready to be hung, as well as motorcycle helmets. Although an ice cream truck was on site, the Dominican cake brought by Tosta which was emblazoned with the show’s logo and other pastries was a crowd favorite. I should note that I visited the set on May 1, the day before the writers strike was announced. Although we had planned to include interviews here from the cast, the WGA is currently on its 79th day and SAG-AFTRA is on its sixth day of striking against the AMPTP for fair wages and AI protections among other important points leaving the writers and actors unable to promote projects. Nevertheless, we’re sharing the photo gallery as a hat tip to the fan-favorite series. Part of my tour included ample time checking out the motorcycles, which were cared for by picture bike captain, Nico Cope. He worked on the show for all 5 seasons in addition to credits on Peacock’s Mrs. Davis and TNT’s I Am The Night which starred Chris Pine. Much to Alvarez’s chagrin, I found one of his personal bikes stored in Cope’s garage and pretended to take it out for a spin— as if Cope would’ve ever allowed it. In the gallery, there’s a photo of Cope posing with Angel’s bike. I also got to spend time among all the cool kuttes and threads worn by the cast with a little help from costume supervisor Danny Vick. A box full of motorcycle boots was inside a box to be returned as they were rentals. I attempted to casually walk away wearing someone’s kutte but was told they were all accounted for. Just about every important set was still intact except for the inside of Felipe’s house and Coco’s (Richard Cabral) old house where Letty (Tosta) lived with Hope (Vanessa Giselle). The clubhouse was a standout because it was full of little touches not obvious to viewers. EZ’s trailer, much like the clubhouse, had an exterior look for cameras on the lot and a set inside for the interiors. I checked the kitchen for his one knife, fork and spoon but with Sofia living with him, the silverware was plentiful. As I walked to the party after the tour, I noticed two women clearing the area of two dead bodies inside their respective body bags. I had no idea how the series would end at the time, but now that I do I’m wondering who all was inside. Starting tomorrow, all five seasons of FX’s Mayans M.C. will be available via Hulu. more pictures behind the link

Once again Natalia used her voice to enlight us about an important problem and to empower us. Don't forget we all have a voice. We all need to inform ourselves and vote! # @yosoycordova via Instagram: • • • • • Somos mujeres, somos latinas, somos inmigrantes... 🇲🇽🇦🇷🇨🇴🇻🇪 #LatinaEqualPay  Data reflects that Latinas are being paid an average of just 53 cents to the dollar paid to white male workers. This is not only wrong, but it is also harmful. It harms Latina workers, their families and the US economy.  Latinas who are also immigrants get paid even less, with some earning just over 30 cents to the dollar paid to white men. As a result, Latinas will be denied over 1 million dollars over the course of our 40-year career because of this pay gap. This means that we will have less money to meet our basic needs. We will have less money to invest and save. We will also have less money to support our families. We will be paying attention to where political candidates stand on closing the pay gap.  We are Latinas. We support equal pay for Latinas and all workers. And, we have a voice! #phenomenallylatina

[wherever-i-look-blog]

Letty gets directly confronted with what her future may be and how, if she wants to be a good mother, it may be best for her not to raise Jacob.

Previous Recap: Episode 5 “You Could Discover Me”

Network TNT Director(s) Coky Giedroyc Writer(s) Dana Baratta Characters Introduced Alice Jasper Holland Taylor Royce Jasper Charles Shaughnessy

The (Great) Grandmother You Never Knew: Jacob, Letty

While obviously Estelle had to come from someone, it wasn’t necessarily clear how that person was as a parent. Well, we get our answer to that and who taught Letty drifting. The answer? Alice. She used to have Letty join her cons and they used to have quite fun together, Letty even considered her a good mother. However, Alice makes it clear that she was not a good mother by any means of the word, besides giving Estelle up.

Something she advocates Letty to do for she sees so much of herself in her. To the point she questions, really, what is Letty doing? And considering Jacob is starting to pick up Letty’s negative traits, it is really a good question. For Letty seems to have it in her head she is going to play a housewife while Javier tries to make it on a cook’s salary. An idea which sounds increasingly preposterous for Letty still gets a thrill from stealing. An addiction Alice notes isn’t going to go away anytime soon. If anything, she’ll go from stealing items to taking people’s money through marriage, like Alice now does.

Favor For A Favor: Letty

As we know, Letty gave 10% of Lashever’s money to keep her promise. So, the idea is to get the money, or take something, from Alice to recoup that. Problem is, Alice doesn’t want to make things easy. She wants Letty to experience having to work for something. So, she decides that she’ll help Letty if she can catch Royce cheating so that she can get 80% of his money.

The problem is, Royce, while flirty, is very much in love with Alice. She’s eccentric and has this certain allure that seemingly most women have never had before. So while he is fully aware she only wants him money, he is far too entertained to give her the divorce she so desperately wants so she can retire from her line of work.

However, with Letty being family, he is fine with giving her the $50,000 she needs. In cash at that. But, with that job done, alongside what happens in the third topic, it seems Letty may have decided that while she wants to prove people wrong, it maybe hard to do that when her life isn’t stable yet.

There Is Something About Teo: Teo, Javier, Jacob, Letty

Ava’s girls, Daniela and Sofia, outright don’t like Teo. He basically stalks their mom around, interferes with them using their phones, and has moved into their house. It is all a little bit too much too quickly for them. So they run away in protest just for Javier to call their mom for them. Since they figured they could just live with Javier.

However, Javier’s life, like Letty’s, is far from being stable enough to have minors about. I mean, Teo is a prime example why. Despite it seeming him and Javier coming to an understanding, one in which it seems he is threatening the girls learning the truth about Javier, he tries to threaten Jacob.

Literally, he waits in the back of Javier’s car and pops up with a gun to Jacob’s head. Which leads to Javier whooping his ass and is probably the final straw for Letty. In her son being threatened because of Javier’s business, she chooses him over her son and seemingly is fine with Estelle raising him. That way he can be safe, stay in the family, and not have to lie. Which, between Jacob and Javier, was a serious conversation since Jacob is harboring secrets and, as shown with Apple, is starting to pick up what clearly is the family business. Of which even Estelle kind of participated in through conning people as a phone sex operator.

Other Noteworthy Facts & Moments

Sean and his wife are making porn in their garage for Christians and Jacob knows.

Lashever has a sister named Mary Anne and she decides to create a double wedding by marrying Christian. Which surely was done for something beyond loneliness or companionship – and I don’t mean love.

Question(s) Left Unanswered

Why didn’t Javier just kill Teo? Be it with a gun or his heart attack serum? He could have even made it look like a drug overdose considering he had Teo in the motel Letty, I believe, used to go to.

I really can’t imagine us going a 3rd season with Lashever. As always noted, I adore Ann Dowd, but this character is just overstaying its welcome.

Highlights

Jacob

I really loved the sass Jacob was given this episode. Be it how he dealt with Royce or how he was very matter of frank when it came to what his dad did. There is this weird humor which I wouldn’t blame someone for thinking was lackluster acting, but it comes off funny to me. He is this Black child with this white family and the show doesn’t pretend that isn’t an odd thing at all. Much less, this child, who is old enough to be acutely aware of what is going on, not really freaking out or anything but treating it basically with a hunch and a slightly sunny disposition.

The Foreshadowing

Between Alice’s speech, alongside what Rose/ Mikey said in the last episode, seemingly we’re being set up for something. All this talk about people changing, Alice and Letty being the same, and yet Letty fighting against this makes you wonder what the final result will be? Will it be, similar to Rose, she’ll find that good person deep down and find peace or will she give into the monster? The one which, even when 60 or 70, will have her conning and robbing people? Perhaps to the point she loses Javier in the process because he either can’t keep up or grows tired of it and/or her?
