This scene is literally ON FIRE.

So, this is Soraya Montenegro (played by Itati Cantoral). She's the main antagonist in the iconic telenovela María la del Barrio.

You may remember her for the famous "¡QUE HACES BESANDO A LA LISIADA!" line that made her a legendary telenovela icon. It's not polite to call people crazy, but Soraya is literally batshit insane. Like, for real.

Her demise is equally batshit insane.

A little context:

So, Soraya killed two people and she's on the run from the police...

Soraya wants to flee the country, but before she does, she wants to kill María la del Barrio (played by Thalia) because her ex-husband Luis Fernando is in love with her...and she's not OK with that.

Soraya in ~disguise~ walks up to María la del Barrio and is like, "Yo. Your daughter is mad sick and she's in a creepy abandoned cabin in the woods...LET ME TAKE YOU THERE!"

Important note: María la del Barrio has AMNESIA (long story). So she decides to believe this blonde stranger and willingly goes with her, not knowing she's her nemesis.

So they go to the woods and Soraya reveals her true identity.

"MY NAME IS SORAYA MONTENEGRO AND YOU STOLE MAH MAAAAAAAAAN!"

And María la del Barrio is like...

So María la del Barrio tries running away and Soraya's like, "NAH FOOL!" She tosses her across the room and Maria bangs her head against the fireplace.

Even in the face of death, María la del Barrio has zero chill.

So, Soraya starts pouring gasoline all over the cabin because why the fuck not?

She starts playing with matches and talks in a child's voice (not joking).

Just when everything looks dark and grim for María la del Barrio, MOTHAFUCKIN' LUIS FERNANDO BREAKS THROUGH THE DOOR!

LOOKING SUPER FLY!

Hey Fernando Colunga. How you doin'?

So Soraya is like, "Yo whaddup! Let's die together, K?" and drops a lit match...on the gasoline...that's also on her...

What ensues is truly horrific:

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!"

Televisa / Via Netflix

"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!"

Televisa / Via Netflix

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!"

So, while Soraya is getting turned into barbacoa, Luis Fernando picks up María la del Barrio and they peace the fuck out.

Televisa / Via Netflix

"GIRL, BYE!" — María la del Barrio

And everybody watches the cabin burn to the ground while Soraya screams helplessly.

Televisa / Via Netflix

Her screams are akin to a velociraptor stubbing its toe.

And so, Luis Fernando and María la del Barrio get married and live happily ever after.

Televisa / Via Netflix

As for Soraya...well... SHE DED.

Moral of the story: A guy ain't worth turning yourself into barbacoa.
