Yago #54: Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner

Hola Yago Patio! This episode made me burn with rage at Lucio. I didn’t know I could hate him more than I did after he aided Ambar’s murder, but that was just a preview to the hate I feel for him now. -Vivi  

Flashback: Katia flashes back to a time many years ago when she was in search of a new, intense high. She had been sent by her usual dealer to a flop house, where dozens of addled-brained drug addicts roamed the halls and filthy rooms. The proprietress of this fine establishment is happy to get a new victim, and instead of giving Katia the cocaine she requests and pays for, she injects a very nervous Katia with her first ever hit of heroine. A new addiction is born. Katia’s voiceover tells us that what drove her to addiction was her compelling need to turn over the reins of her life to someone or something else. “The most dangerous thing about Hell, is that it’s a thousand times more tempting than Heaven.”

Color Guide:
*Rehash in Red
*Recall in Blue
*Reader Reactions in Green

RehashMarcelo is arguing with Evaristo about the contents of the security box. Marc wants to thank the secret squirrel that helped Alfredo. Santiago will just be a memory, and he'll go after everyone including Solebad. Ev threatens him if he does, but Marc is over this convo and boops Ev on the head, who is strategically placed in front of the bed so he can ballerina twirl before knocking out. Marc searches for the key, but an Ev seedling comes in. Marc ambushes him with orders to take him to his bromantic friend, Ramiro. Ramiro is tied up and gagged, just the way we like him. The grandthugs (gracias Ria!) are taunting him with a gun and waiting for Ev's orders. Llora sobs in her room.


Sleeping Beauty awaits Prince Charming

Recap: AnaLu sits with Nerina to apologize for getting them both in trouble. Nerina tells a despondent AnaLu not to worry, she can come to her for any help anytime. She went to the hospital that morning but didn't get a chance to see Santi. She asked her if she thinks they'll have a party ready by tomorrow. Our Ana Luchador is thrilled hearing this, this means he's gotten better and she'll see him soon!

Sueño de Amor (SdA) #108. Tuesday August 16, 2016. Loves That Heal And Loves That Sicken

Esperanza is stuck on Ricardolt and Ernesto is stuck with a defective Lukidney! Los shippeo y los shippeo, I ship them and I ship them, but their love story will never blossom because Osorio is determined to kill one of them and make the other terminally stoopid!

Hello Patio Pals! I’m away on holiday until August 22. Mini-recaps for Monday and Tuesday are scheduled to post the next day at 6 am EDT. Be well and see you next week, Sueñolandia dwellers! 

Yay! Dr. Cutie Pie is back! In all his years of practicing medicine, Dr. Medrano says he has never seen a case like Esperanza's (because they don’t exist) and he can only classify it as a “miracle” (the correct scientific term being “writer’s whim”).

Yago #53 Is it a True Truce?

Flashback: Camilo hears a gunshot, runs upstairs and there is Julia, age 3 or so, standing next to a gun she fired on the floor. A worried Camilo hugs her and tells her that he’s going to be more vigilant and watch her more closely.  Julia’s voiceover says that unconditional love makes one feel secure and protected. She never thought that that promise of keeping a loved one safe would be so difficult to fulfill. That one day she would have to defend that love from true bullets.

Present day: Julia arrives to save her kidnapper.( I think it odd that they would plot to just kill Camilo outright like this, they’ve had plenty of opportunity in the past to kill him)
Teo grabs her then lets her go, then Yago grabs her, but Teo announces that she’s pregnant, and to be easy with her. Teo won’t be happy until he tells everyone about the pregnancy. I’m trying to keep this recap short. So, needless to say, she foils the plot to kill Camilo. And in the process, Katia tells the entire group that Julia is pregnant.

Sueño de Amor (SdA) #107. Monday August 15, 2016. Now That Esperanza Has Miraculously Returned From The Dead, Let’s Kill Off Ernesto!

Aren't you glad you picked this light fun comedy to follow?

Hello Patio Pals! I’m away on holiday until August 22. Mini-recaps for Monday and Tuesday are scheduled to post the next day at 6 am EDT. Be well and see you next week, Sueñolandia dwellers! 

Pedro, Pato and Ernesto are wailing next to Esperanza’s frail and, by the looks of it, lifeless body. Luca is tearing up nearby. Anya is standing awkwardly in the middle of the brouhaha, no doubt feeling like she is intruding on a private moment and, quite probably, beating herself up for not leaving Casa Guerrero earlier. The efficient priest just goes about his business as if nothing and gives Esperanza the last rites. Maybe he needs to be somewhere in a hurry.

Un Camino Hacia el Destino-Week 26 (Aug 15, 2016) 1st Half

In a short refrito, the unfried Luis Montero is seen escaping up the stairs of the prison so he can be with his daughter and grandson. [Lots of luck, Luis—I hope you trip and fall and no one can put you back together again.]

Carlos is fixing a meal in the cabaña for his little family. Marissa and Iggy interrupt and Mar asks Paco to take Pedrito out to play. Then she tells Fer about the fire at the prison and that Luis was roasted to death in the kitchen. Fernanda has a look of disbelief on her face.

Fer calls Amelia to tell her Luis is dead. It’s hard for her to believe, but it’s true. While she’s on the phone, Carlos, Marissa and Ignacio talk about Luis. Carlos loathed him, but wouldn’t wish such a horrible death on anyone. Fer finishes her conversation and tells the group Amelia isn’t going to cut short her honeymoon.

Iggy wants to ask Fer if she knows of any relatives Luis might gave. The three of them knew him best, but they are also the ones Luis hurt the most. He’s asking because if no relation claims the body, he’ll be buried in a common grave without a marker. Fer says, then, they need to do that. Marissa gently tells her if that’s what she wants, Fer will have to acknowledge she’s Luis’ daughter.

Fer goes outside to clear her head. All the awful confrontations she had with Luis get rewound and reviewed. Carlos comes out to comfort her. She tells him about all the times Luis asked for her forgiveness and a little affection and now it’s too late. Carlos reminds her Luis only caused them all harm and she shouldn’t feel guilty about not responding to his petitions for forgiveness.

Fer and her big heart realize he was a human capable of remorse and changing, but she wasn’t ready to forgive him and now he’ll never know. She feels terrible. Carlos holds her tightly.

Tres Veces Ana - #70 and 71 - All roads lead to Evaristo!



Happy Monday and happy last week of two hour episodes (…we think anyway)!! This was a very action-packed episode, so get ready!

We return to Santi’s hospital room, where he and Facundo are arguing over what sort of terrible people Santi has made acquaintance with in those dark,, dark days when Facundo didn’t know Santi was alive (you know, when Santi was allowed to grow an unkempt beard and live like a hermit in a cave that didn’t even look like it had running water. Oh wait, that was Facundo, not Santi! But anyway, we are sure those places Facundo is referring to are much, much worse and have roaches to boot.) Santi wouldn’t hear any of it. And by the by, while they are on the topic, he needs to warn Facundo to leave his madrina alone – he knows that he treated Rem very badly. The whole scene from Friday is repeated, as is the one with Rem and Sole with their musings on life and the mysterious and powerful force of protection love has.

Tres Veces Ana #68/69? : Face To Face With Destiny-Or Not

-- If you were like me, your heart was in your throat.--ed.



Parte 1 - DARING DESTINY

Whack a mole’s got nothing on this episodio of cat and mouse patrol.  Just as all Hell is about to break loose inside the hospital lobby, Ramiro appears out of nowhere and catches Ana Lucia by the arm.  He tells her she knows Santiago does not want her at the hospital.  She insists nobody’s stopping her from seeing the man she loves.  “--No doubt it was his father standing there making him say that just to keep me away.”  Ram insists it isn’t like that (but oh, it is, isn’t it).  “They can all come down and pitch a fit and it still won’t get me out of the way; I’ll still speak to Santiago.”  Well, if she’s going, he won’t let her enter through the front door.  He pulls her around out of view of the entrance and continues while Narina and Ana Laura continue their confused conversation in the front lobby.

Narina explains how she met Marcelo in the boarding house.  Is Narina the owner?  No, she clarifies, she’s the friend of the owner.  (Nice touch, Narina.)  Why, with all his money, would he rent a room there?  Narina learns that they lost contact with Marcelo, A Llora’s BIL, three years ago and that all believe he did it purposely to make his wife and the family think he’d died so he could desert his wife and the rest of them.  “All the people we love die or abandon this family:  my two parents, my sister, Ana Lucia…--”  “--y-y-y-your sister?”  “--It was terribly cruel.”  Now things are beginning to become clear to Narina.  “--No, you don’t understand.  The poor boy lost his memory after a horrible accident three years ago.  He’s just now by chance coming face to face with his old life and memories.”

Sueno de Amor, Friday #106 No perdón for the dying

And here we go again, with today's comedy. Hold on, guys, the chuckles abound, you might even die laughing when you're not crying your eyes out because our protagonista is dying, while wearing ugly make-up and without even having her beloved's perdón.

Ernesto is telling Cristina and Ricardo that he has to go search for a priest, because Esperanza wants to marry him before she dies. Ricardo is impactado with the news, but he tells Cristina that he wants to say good-bye to Esperanza.

Pato is now apologizing for having told Ricardo that Esperanza still loved him and she'd lied to him. She did it because her mom didn't deserve Ricardo's hate and now she wants mom to forgive her for saying what she should have said episodes ago.
But Espe doesn't care about this anymore because she is dying and she has nothing to forgive. And since Ric just happens to be here, with his prometida, can you fetch him for me? Time for some more tears.

Sueño de amor, Ep. 105 (8.11.16) Sacrifices are necessary for greater goods, not for greatest bads

Después de un breve sueño, despertar eternamente  (or die mommy die already)

Cristina Vélez Valderrama, the firewoman of education, while adding cremora to her coffee, is simmered in her own thoughts about the talk she had with Esperanza after the ring incident in the bathroom with wi-fi.

Stupid is not only who makes stupid choices, but also whoever complies with them
This morning, Espy has woken up weaker than usual but she still insists on going to school.
Pedro tries to convince her to stay and rest but what in Hillary is determination in Espy is stubbornness and she tries to get up to no avail. After the sour discussion with Pato regarding the night of sex with Luca and the fight with Ernesto over his potentially deadly prank, she is feeling rather weak.
Finally, she agrees to stay home and rest and send Pedro to school, after all, neither one of her kids should miss it. Have you seen their cards? 
And I am talking to you Pato, we have to talk when you come back, ok?

Then Ernesto gets home. He has changed but that doesn't erase what he did before. They argue some more and there is a zoom to Silvia Derbez picture with a tear. Really? Whoever painted it decided that it was a good idea to add a tear? Is this Crown of Tears or what?

Un Camino Hacia el Destino-Week 25 (Aug 8, 2016) 2d Half

Aplogies ahead of time for ruining a nice little nursery rhyme.
A nod to Kendra for the idea.

Oh where oh where has Pedrito gone?
Oh where oh where can he be?
With his ears cut long and his hair cut short
Oh where oh where can he be?

Oh where oh where has the little boy gone?
Oh where oh where can he be?
I think he went down to the landscaping site
To see what he could see
While his folks all reveled without a care

I think I saw him by the tractor
Playing and running around
While his folks all reveled without a care

But I just can't see him anymore
He just can't seem to be found
While his folks all reveled without a care

Who knows where he might have decided to go
Perhaps someone at Televisa will know
Maybe his real mommy came and took him away

Tres Veces Ana - # 64 and 65 - Triple hysteria and impactful reunions

(Some scenes below are consolidated)

Rehash of Rem finding out about Santi and Ana Le’s monologue to her bed-bound husband on not expecting anything less of him than to murder Daniel. She cheated, that is true, but he was neglecting her, working late, she just wanted attention. And Marcelo cheated himself. Ana Le loves him and will not divorce him. She also apparently generously forgives him and asks for the same in return.

New episode:
Abue for some reason feels the need to explain herself to Facundo, as she feels guilty for not finding him earlier. She promises she tried, but his nephew didn’t know anything either (Abue, you tried once two days ago. That hardly even qualifies to be an attempt.) She does tell him about Jenny and Facundo is very surprised. He offers condolences to Mariano, who has his “Ana Le has already shown me the light and I hate Jenny now” face on and so he changes the subject. Abue departs and Mariano wants to make it clear to Facundo that Marcelo is not on the list of his favorite people right now. He, Mariano, needs to defend his niece. Facundo, though, says Marcelo will need all their help as well. Mariano is skeptical.

Yago #50: Ticking Time Bomb

Ticking Time Bomb-- Poem by Jaquay Atkins
With an arrow through my heart, you poisoned my soul
Toxic fumes run rampant
Appalled at your conniving actions;
Body is numb, icicles for fingers
Crying inside
My mind has become a ticking time bomb
The explosion is bound to be epic


Flashback: Lucio takes a very young Matias to his first horse riding (equitación) lesson. Matias is worried about falling off the horse and prefers to go to Jonas’ house to learn carpentry. Lucio tells him they will go afterwards. He tries to alleviate Matias’ fears about the horse, and tells Matias that he always wanted to be a horseman (jinete) when he was a kid. He tells Matias that horses need their love and care, and can be good friends. Voiceover: “If there was anything I learned from my parents when they stopped caring for me, it was that blood ties aren’t enough to unite a family.”

Present Day: Lucio goes into Mati’s room, picks up a picture of Matias on his horse, hugs it to his body, and begins to cry. Voiceover: “I thought that my love for Matias would be enough to have him with me for always. Now, I know that even the strongest love is powerless against the whims of destiny.”
