What a difference a dressing down from your sister will make.
Jorge is clearly his sister's righthand man, but he's also got his own agenda he's been perfectly content to keep separate from his sister until he can't anymore.
And Ramona ensured during The Cleaning Lady Season 3 Episode 5 that Jorge understood that whatever he had going on with Thony was not about to get in the way of their family.
I was less than pleased with Thony for putting her trust in Jorge after he helped her find Fiona and Chris during The Cleaning Lady Season 3 Episode 4, and I felt extremely justified when Jorge followed the lead Thony gave him and then proceeded to sit by while the man who took Arman in the first place died.
Maybe it wasn't done on purpose, and maybe the guy wasn't talking, but who knows what some expert torturing would have gotten out of the guy.

Hayden Panettiere of Heroes, Scream 4, and Scream VI shares the screen with Tyler James Williams of Everybody Hates Chris, Abbott Elementary, and The Walking Dead in the thriller Amber Alert. Deadline reports that Lionsgate has acquired the worldwide rights to the film, which flew under the radar as it made its way through production and is now in post-production.
Amber Alert was directed by Kerry Bellessa, who also wrote the screenplay with Joshua Oram. Bellessa’s previous credits include the 2022 horror film Immanence and a 2012 thriller that was also called Amber Alert… so apparently this is a reimagining of Bellessa’s previous film. The new take on Amber Alert will show us what happens when an ordinary ride share becomes a high-stakes game of cat and mouse.

Fresh off a return in last year’s slasher sequel Scream VI, Deadline reports today that Hayden Panettiere will be leading the cast of Lionsgate’s upcoming thriller Amber Alert.
Hayden Panettiere stars alongside Tyler James Williams (Abbott Elementary).
Ambert Alert is actually in post-production at this time, Deadline notes.
In the thriller, “an ordinary ride share becomes a high-stakes game of cat and mouse. The story will follow Jaq (Hayden Panettiere) who is eager to get to her first day at a new job, and her driver, Shane (Tyler James Williams), who is just trying to earn a little extra at his side hustle. An alert of a child abduction on their phones will change all that when they discover they are behind a car that matches the description of the kidnapper’s. Unable to let a possible child trafficker escape, they begin a pursuit that will put their own lives at risk.

One of Europe’s most formidable TV forces, Zdf Enterprises, the international distribution and co-production arm of German public broadcaster Zdf, has swooped on world sales rights to “White Night” (“Nuit Blanche”), the anticipated new show from screenwriter Julie Hivon who broke out in fall 2019 with “Amber Alert,” a big audience and critical hit in French-speaking Canada.
Commissioned by CBC/Radio-Canada, Canada’s national public broadcaster, “White Night” is created by Hivon and produced by Pixcom, one of Canada’s biggest TV production houses which also backed “Amber Alert.”
It goes into production this spring, directed by Sébastien Gagné (“Lacher Prise”). Its premise looks set to deliver some kind of verdict on the legacy of big business and Canada’s past in a current world. In 1970, a Zdfe plot synopsis runs, a pivotal encounter with her soon-to-be mentor, Aidrian Flanagan, allows Louise Hébert to become a supermodel and eventually launch her first perfume,...
