Yesterday, I mostly just caught up on soaps, but I also watched more S2 
"Lioness":

soaps: Y&R - Mon's ep. Jordan threatens Ian Ward after her whines about 
things beyond her control - he appears to relent, and plans to go out 
with a disguise of his own. More boring Sharon stuff. Summer, obviously 
still jealous of now-brunette Claire, pressures Kyle to tell their son 
together that Claire will no longer be his nanny, which pisses off 
Claire who specifically asked to be the one to tell the kid.
    GH - Thur's thru Mon's ep's, I believe. Yeah, they are ruining 
NuMolly, who continues to knuckle under to horrible Kristina - but this 
time Kristina is the one keeping the feud going, after Ava is found not 
guilty (duh!), which hopefully Kristina does until Molly breaks and is 
truly done with her. Meanwhile, Molly agrees to stay with Alexis, 
despite Kristina. There was boring Lucky stuff. Aunt Stella convinces 
Portia to go easy on Brad, who schemes his way onto a trip with 
NuNuLucas. Trina is disgusted when the football player wants to get an 
extension of their school project. Then she, Josslyn, Gio and Dex go out 
to get a Christmas tree, which ends up bumming out Dex when they all 
talk about family Christmases which he didn't have. Anna gets Carly to 
plant a bug on Jack Brennan, and Carly is disappointed when Brennan 
immediately calls Valentin, proving that Brennan has been lying to her 
(and everyone else) the whole time.

Lioness (Pee+) - Ep's #2.5 & 2.6.
    In ep. #2.5, there is a lot of silly side stuff with Joe going "off 
book" to try to follow the one trafficked little girl from the warehouse 
raid - this has nothing to do with the mission at hand!! This ends with 
the DEA part of Joe's team getting annihilated by Cartel drones, the 
trafficked victims getting killed by a suicide bomb vest - I'm still 
unclear about the suicide vest part: they didn't explain that part well. 
Meanwhile, Cruz is ordered to keep Carrillo on task, and Cruz comes up 
with an alternative plan - get Carrillo to flip her father as a way to 
get to the Cartel head uncle. So Cruz comes home with Carrillo to try that.
    Ep. #2.6 was also confusing. Joe figures out she has been shot while 
on a plane ride, and seems about seconds away from death. Meanwhile, 
somehow they get it in their heads that Kirk Acevedo's DEA agent 
Gutierrez is a "mole" who betrayed Joe's mission to the cartel. So Kyle 
and co torture Gutierrez, and even Nicole Kidman's Kaitlyn shows up, but 
it seems to be that Gutierrez is just running his own off the books 
op(?). If so, who betrayed Jo's team during the op? Or were they never 
betrayed at all?! (I will be pissed if it turns out Kyle is the "mole".) 
Meanwhile, back at Carrillo's parents house, Carrillo pitches the CIA's 
plan, and the dad gets violent with her, so Cruz gets violent with him, 
and Cruz's part of the team ends up taking the father, the maid, and 
eventually the mom into "custody". At the end, Carrillo looks like she 
wants to kill the dad, so I don't give him long odds of surviving this!
    Just two episodes to go, though I probably won't get to those until 
Wednesday.
