Juan Casilla’s wife is struggling following the birth of their child and won’t be returning anytime soon. When Lucy asks if she can come visit them, he tells her no. Your thoughts about the situation?

The whole thing with Juan made me suspicious. I was questioning if his wife had really went into labor, or if she had been kidnapped and he was being blackmailed. The only person who seemed to have contact with Juan (until he appeared in the office) was Zach. That made me suspicious of him too.

I was suspicious about that for a time, too, but then it became clear that she really was in the hospital.

I felt sad for Lucy in this moment, given what their relationship had been. But, I understood Juan’s position. Joseph, Nicole & Tobias wanted Lucy and everyone close to her was in danger. It was just an awful, awful moment.

It was awful, but Juan couldn't risk Lucy getting near his family.

I can totally understand his reasons for not wanting her to visit. They all have targets on their backs and he doesn't want his family to get caught in the middle of something bad.

I agree, Melissa. It was just so sad.

I agree, it was really sad and my heart broke for Lucy. She considered Juan and his family her family in San Antonio and it was awful for her to be treated like that. But, I fully understand why Juan said what the did, but I didn't like it.

You all nailed it.

I understand Juan's concern, but I thought he could have talked to Lucy a little more. Soften the blow somehow. It made me suspicious of Juan. I understand that he doesn't trust Lucy on the job, but they had a personal history. I felt bad for Lucy.
