Sueño de Amor (SdA) #28. Friday April 15, 2016. Truly Wonderful, The Mind Of A Moron Is.
At a glance

-- PatoLuca fight and reconcile.
A closer look
Since everything gets shared in the Guerrero family, Pedro would like to know what Tricky Ricky has been hiding. No problemo here. Esperanza had already agreed with Ricardo that the whole truth will be revealed once Pato returns from LA. Ricardo announces that he and Esperanza decided to give their love a second opportunity.I’m all but moved in into your house and into your Ma’s pants. You can call me Buff Daddy.
In LA, Pato seems to have exchanged one clingy lapdog for another. The new one is called Vicente, and he is adamant to show her a good time in the city.
At the constructora, Ernesto and Mario agree to keep their spawns on a very short leash.
At the hospital, Erasmo notices that his sister looks depressed (achicopalada). She reveals that Adrián got drunk and slept with Kristel’s sister.
At the De la Colina mansion, Viviana’s idea of helping her alcoholic son is to bring him a glass of her diuretic juice and talk to him about her upcoming boob job.
Back in LA, Vicente tries to convince Pato to accept his dinner invitation by using some really awful rap. During his “performance”, he kneels down in front of her. Anastasia happens to be in the same café. She records the moment and sends the video to Luca.
At Casa Guerreo, Esperanza is worried sick because Pato sent her a text message saying that she arrived safely to LA, then later, Luca calls her asking about Pato. O sea, Luca was having a long tender hug with his ex when he knew full well that Pato was on her way to visit him? *major eye roll* When SuperKlutz receives the video of his novia and roommate in the café, he informs Esperanza that her daughter is fine. Pato’s cellphone died. That’s all. No problemo here. Sorry I worried you unnecessarily. Gotta go. Click.
Atthe Casa that the Alegría deserted, Ricardo remembers his kids and gets the sad sniffles. Back in LA, in a creepy dream sequence, Selena and Rodrigo are Hänsel und Gretel and their mother is a zombie-ish version of Rosine Leckermaul (Raisin Sweet Tooth), The Witch. Holy Sweet Raisins! Kracy as The Witch is so fudgin’ scary! *shudder*
The real (and only mildly scary) Kracy is in the hotel bar. Ricardo calls her to talk to Selena and Rodrigo. He discovers that Kracy is inebriated and that the kids are in the hotel room on their own. He threatens her with legal action. She hangs up on him. When he calls again, she chucks her expensive smartphone in an ice bucket. No problemo here. Back to the drink-o.
It’s nighttime in LA and Pato is in a quasi-deserted park with a guy she just met a couple of hours ago. She tells Vicente the story of Luca and La Nacha (The Arsecheek), her new nickname for Anastasia. Pato's cell rings and, at long last, she remembers that she has a mother, back in Mexico, who must be worried sick about her. She tells her mom what happened with Luca, the hugger of the fake blonde butt-cheek.
At the constructora, Nacho wants to come back to the marital home that he himself paid for in installments (pagar en abonos). Begoña refuses. She wants him to work hard and to be totally independent from his friends. Arleth informs them that there is an opening for a waiter job somewhere she knows. Meanwhile, the two remaining stooges are still plagued by bad luck. Some old curse (maldición) is pursuing them again.
Kristel is on the phone giving Salma unsolicited advice: Don’t take love lightly. If you don’t respect yourself, nobody will respect you. Salma is not interested in what her prudish (persinada) sister has to say.
At the constructora, Ernesto tells Mario his story with Esperanza. It’s stuff we already know, except for this tidbit: Ernesto couldn’t get divorced when he was dating Esperanza because he needed the capital that Viviana’s dad put into the company. Moreover, he couldn’t look for his daughter or get involved in her life because his suegro (father-in-law) threatened to sink (hundir) him if he did. Is this the same suegro who was on the verge of financial ruin and needed Ernesto to save his company? What leverage did the suegro have to threaten the lifeline of his business? Don’t mind me, I’m just trying to make sense of the nonsensical again. *sends 99% of neurons to sleep* Aaaaah! All better now!
Adrián shows his mother the cyber-bullying he had to endure since the Salmagate scandal erupted. Viviana asks her son whether he used protection. He doesn’t remember.Frankly, he doesn’t even remember whether he actually managed to rise to the occasion with that much booze in him. “See what alcohol does?”, says Viviana. This PSA was brought to you by José Cuervo, Jägermeister, Durex, J. Crew Maternity Clothing and the Mexican NHS (National Health Service).
At the hospital, Esperanza and Ricardo are visiting Kiko, who is very happy to carry the maestra's warrior blood in his veins. He is in good spirits, although he feels a little down because his spine surgery was postponed. His visitors cheer him up and assure him that very quickly, before a rooster crows (antes de lo que canta un gallo), Kiko is going to recover, have his operation and walk again. And until that happens, here is a brand-new (flamante) drum kit to keep him entertained. A musical instrument for the Osorio Kid! Oh dear!
At Casa Gallo, Kristel is sewing Erasmo’s builder vest. They flirt, they smooch, they get serenaded by their banda love song.
In LA, a police officer knocks on the hotel room door of a drunk Kracy and accuses her of child neglect. Elsewhere in the city, a panicked Luca is looking for his lost duck all over campus. Meanwhile, the lost duck is eating burgers with Vicente. Just as we guessed, Vicente is the son of the Board President of Instituto Palacios. Except that he told Pato that his father is the Board President. Wasn’t the Board President a woman named Bárbara? Maybe Vicente’s father had an operation and became Bárbara? Hey, I’m not judging. Ain’t nothing wrong with that. I’m just trying to keep things straight in my head with all the inconsistencies that Juabbly Juan is throwing our way.
Still at the hospital, Esperanza tries to cheer Ricardo up. It’s only a matter of time until Kracy gets tired of the kids and returns them to their father. If she never took care of them before, she will get overwhelmed pretty quickly. Estrella interrupts their conversation. She needs a heavy dose of Esperanza’s peppy pep talk. Boo-freakin-hoo, Adrián slept with Salma! Niña, get over it already! You dodged a bullet. A biiiiiig one. You should be doing happy dances and giving thanks to La Virgen de la Paz.
Nacho wants to go back to living with his friends since he paid his part of this month’s rent. Surely, Begoña kicked Nacho out again (botar), thinks Adán. Well, since Nacho had the heart to abandon his friends, it’s time for everyone to go back to their home (Aquí se rompió una taza, y cada quien para su casa). While pushing Nacho out the door, Adán accidentally breaks the vase of Puerquirio’s great-great-grandmother (tatarabuela). When the buffoonish filler characters, the fast-forwardable scenes, the cutting-room floor fodder, wind up being the most interesting part of your telenovela, then you are in real and deep trouble. ¡La regaste, Juanito! ¡Bien canijo! You messed up big time, Juanito!
In the antro, Pedro and Erasmo “The Rooster” Gallo lock beaks over Kristel.
In an LA burger joint, Vicente tells Pato that he likes her; as in “like her” like her. Saint Luca, who loathes violence, arrives and punches Vicente. “Stay away from my girl!I haven’t even slept with her yet!”, snarls Luca. “You don’t know who you are messing with!”, retorts Vicente. “A guy who hits on (le tira la onda) a girl who already has a boyfriend. A guy who doesn't respect women and treats them like objects. THAT’s who I’m messing with!” Saint Luca grabs Pato’s luggage, shoulder checks Vicente on the way out but still asks permission to take his leave. How very polite! Con permiso... Biotch!
At the antro, co-workers Kristel and Erasmo are playing tonsil tennis in a strategic point where everybody in the club can see them. Aranzakira approaches a despondent Pedro and rubs salt in the wound: See that kiss? Observe it well! You know what that kiss means? These two dig each other mucho. And now if you’ll excuse me, I’ll go look for a knife to twist in your wound. Con permiso... Sucka!
At Casa Guerreo, Esperanza is talking to her mother’s portrait and asking her to give her strength. Silvia Derbez (the lady in the portrait, a deceased iconic actress) should come back and haunt these morons. Nacho seeks refuge in Esperanza’s house.
At the same park from earlier, PatoLuca are ruffling each other’s feathers. She blames him for getting all cozy and cuddled-up (acurrucado) with that “natural” blonde, Anastasia. People don’t reject their exes then get all hugsy gropey with them. Luca is also unhappy about Pato’s dinner date with Vicente: “We are in a tie (estamos empatados)”. Each one made a mistake. Pato doesn’t think they are tied: Vicente is not her ex, she does not have a past with him and she did not hug him!
Esperanza and Ricardo are on the phone. Tricky Ricky is working onhow he can further screw up La Sombra’s case. He tells Esperanza, for the 17th time this episode, that he can regain custody of his kids if he can demonstrate Kracy’s neglect. Besides, his lawyer advised him to live near his children so he can accumulate more damning evidence against his wife. Ricardo can’t move to LA; however, he can get Kracy to move to Mexico City. “But enough about me! How are you?”, he coos. Esperanza has been thinking that she can’t stand idly when La Sombra attacked her and threatened to harm her children: “I would like to learn how to become an agent like you!” Bwaaaahahahahahahaha! Is this woman on crack?
At the park, PatoLuca are still bickering. Luca thinks they should fix things by talking and communicating, like they did the last time they had an argument. He kneels down and makes googly eyes at her. She melts instantly. They apologize to one another. He shows her the video Anastasia sent him earlier. Pato thinks this vile broad is like a scary movie with too many sequels. Swoons, I love you’s, besitos. All is well in Sueñolandia.
A quote from the capítulo
“Es que te juro que es como una película de terror: 'Anastasia, el regreso siete: La amenaza sobrevive'. Pero ahora en 3D. ¡Méndiga vieja! ¡Méndiga!” *
* Pato has had it with La Nacha: “I swear it’s like a horror movie: 'Anastasia, the return 7: the threat survives'. But now in 3D. What a vile broad! Vile!”

A closer look
A pair of grown-up dumbos sit an innocent blond cub down and decide to gratuitously break his wee generous heart: Your dead daddy is a lying motherfella! He lied to separate me from my old flame! He destroyed my sueño de amor! Pedro doesn’t know how to react to this revelation or what to tell the two morons who made it. All he knows is that he can’t judge his father, a father who passed away before his birth. Esperanza says that she decided to tell Pedro because she doesn’t like to hide things from her kids. #EpicFail. If anything qualifies as hide-able, it’s this! Esperanza believes that her health scare taught her not to cling to the past (aferrarse al pasado), that’s why she decided to traumatize her teenage son and fall for the fibs of the man who abandoned her 20 years ago. She adds, as an afterthought, that if things hadn't happened the way they did, Esperanza wouldn’t have had her most cherished treasures, her children, Pedro and Pato. And Tricky Ricky wouldn’t have had his Rodrigo and Selena, he chimes in. If this is the case and you’re grateful for the kids that the “lie” of Pedro Papá gave you, then what was the point of organizing this awkward chat? What did you gain from tarnishing the image of this boy’s deceased father? Moving on.
Since everything gets shared in the Guerrero family, Pedro would like to know what Tricky Ricky has been hiding. No problemo here. Esperanza had already agreed with Ricardo that the whole truth will be revealed once Pato returns from LA. Ricardo announces that he and Esperanza decided to give their love a second opportunity.

Nandicta, you gave us all a gift when you came out of the shadows. Your retelling proof if anyone could save this TN it would be you.
#EpicFail
I'm exhausted at the absurdity.

Thanks, Nandicta. Great "nacha" translation as "arse cheek" Ha!Ha!
I could not believe they had a stooge actually slip on a banana peel but then since it looks like Osorio is packing this with every plot and plot device possible: stooges = slipping on banana peels. Guess he can cross this off his list.
There seemed to be some hope for Pato at first when Luca tried to pull a "Ricardo" on her offering to "share" the guilt in their misunderstanding and she dug her heels in placing 100% of the guilt on him for hugging Anastasia. So, it was frustrating seeing her get snookered in eventually. Oh, well, she is Esperanza's daughter.
So, now Nacho is staying at Esperanza's, too? Really?
Looks like Tracy could be going to rehab along with Adrián. What a welcome visit by the LA PD.
It is too bad that Esperanza's mother's photo could not have dispensed advice to her with an animated mouth a la "Clutch Cargo" of the '50's. What a missed opportunity!
On we go!

Thanks! I know it sounds cliché, but the recap is way better than the episode itself.
I couldn't take notes and I am forgetting something, but regarding ''la nacha''. I am sure pato is calling her that because she is upset and that sounds worse than ''Natacha'' which is the appropriate nickname for Anastasia. If she was Ignacia, then she would be Nacha (pompi).
Kracy called her Anestesia, because she makes her sleep, that was good too!

guess Patty has forgotten all about walking in on Luca kissing Anastasia
What happened to the proceeds from selling the house in LA?

Hey Patio Pals! Cheers for stopping by!
-- Adriana: I thought the spam artist was back! :D Naaah, I knew it was your phone's autocorrect because of all the accents and French words. This is why I always use my trusty old laptop to type stuff.
After the utopia school that will eradicate child illiteracy and poverty and practically render the work of UNICEF obsolete, Esperanza plans to become a secret Interpol agent and crime fighter extraordinaire. The next step will be vampire slayer and climate change warrior. All dreams can come true and la esperanza muere al último.
-- Tofie: Aw, you made me blush! Thank you, dear! You and other fellow Carayites welcomed me so warmly on the PyP Patio, I felt part of the community from Day 1. If I can make the absurdity of this show a little more bearable for you and others, then that makes me very happy!
As regards the LA house, I'm starting to think that it was a house provided by Ricardo's agency. Nobody can just pack, sell their house and uproot their family to another country in less than 48 hours!

The "nacha" meaning became obvious when Pedro appeared outraged and asked his mom (who was on the phone to Pato), whether Luca gave his sister a "nalgada" (spanked her). He looked ready to jump to his sister's defense and start distributing punches. How sweet! Pedro is my favorite one among the kids. Even though his hormones override his judgement at times, he's a kind and honorable cub.
Pato on the hand seems more interesting when she is not around Luca. His presence turns her into a schmaltzy moronic blob.
Ah, the banana peel slip! Apparently, a few weeks ago, the latest viral craze was a #BananaPeelChallenge. Teenagers were/are challenging each other to slip on a banana peel! I guess Juanito Osorio is trying to keep up with the cool kids, or so he thinks!
-- Pablo: Nothing you say could be a cliché! You're the anti-cliché guy, the anti-Osorio par excellence.
While writing the recap and alternating bewteen "La Nacha" and "Nacho" (whose wife called him "Ignacio" a couple of times during the episode), I wondered whether a girl named "Ignacia" would be nicknamed "Nacha". Thanks for confirming this. How very unfortunate to call one's daughter "arsecheek" as a term of endearment! "Arsecheek! Stop running around and sit your arse down!"
The "nacha" meaning became obvious when Pedro appeared outraged and asked his mom (who was on the phone to Pato), whether Luca gave his sister a "nalgada" (spanked her). He looked ready to jump to his sister's defense and start distributing punches. How sweet! Pedro is my favorite one among the kids. Even though his hormones override his judgement at times, he's a kind and honorable cub.

I'm grinning ear to ear Nandicta. Outstanding.
Far, far too many excellent lines to name them all but "#EpicFail", "If anything qualifies as hide-able, it’s this! Pato seems to have exchanged one clingy lapdog for another", "This PSA was brought to you by José Cuervo, Jägermeister, Durex, J. Crew Maternity Clothing and the Mexican NHS (National Health Service)" were fab. But I laughed out loud at "Viviana’s idea of helping her alcoholic son is to bring him a glass of her diuretic juice and talk to him about her upcoming boob job". Oh my, so true.
The vocabulary was wonderful and greatly appreciated!
I was completely confounded by Ricky and Esperanza's questionable "talk" with Petro.
"What did you gain from tarnishing the image of this boy’s deceased father" said it all. As you noted Adriana Noel "Also, does she know how Ricky treats his colleagues? I guess not". Hanging with Ricky and absorbing his gibberish is harmful to your health in general and brain cells in particular.
I just love Kiko. He is so sweet and what a wonderful smile. Bang the drum slowly, dear. And as loudly as you want…
Kracy was scary in her witches garb! Shudder…
Jarifa, "I could not believe they had a stooge actually slip on a banana peel but then since it looks like Osorio is packing this with every plot and plot device possible: stooges = slipping on banana peels. Guess he can cross this off his list" made me laugh...
Thank you for this gem Nandicta!

Nandicta: turning Espe into a vampire slayer would improve this show one million percent. Turning Ricardo into Spike would improve it a further billion percent.
I'm seconding all the lines Diana mentioned as my favorites. I was reading the recap really early this morning, and my sister was staying overnight and I was afraid I'd wake her up laughing.
I couldn't believe they gave a DRUM SET to a kid who is in the hospital. With lots of other sick and injured people, who need rest. Not to mention the nurses and doctors and everyone else trying to work. But I'm sure we can look forward to some MAGICAL musical stylings.
Pato is SO MUCH BETTER when she isn't around Luca. He turns her so much stupider than she is. Like mother, like daughter.
So who teaches Ricardo's class while he's teaching Espe's class? And Kracy only showed up to teach like two days; what happened to those classes? These schools are a disaster. Do classes only occur at random whenever a teacher happens to appear to teach them? No wonder the kids lack discipline.
Adrian is making me sad. He and his mother are handily displaying two outwardly different expressions of addictive, self-destructive behavior. They both need rehab and to get away from Ernesto.

I love love love Erasmo. I literally cannot get enough of this character. He's such a gentelman and a sweetheart.
I really dont like the actress playing Krystal though. She seems very stiff and fake BUT I'll take her if it means I can see more Erasmo on my screen. I really love their theme song too!
Kiko is still a really enjoyable kid. I never thought I'd say this but I'm rooting for him and I'd like to see more of his storyline. Usually the kids in novelas bother me, they dont seem to have much to give to the plot and don't act that great either. Kiko's starting to change my mind. I do hope the drum doesnt make him obnoxious.
I really can't stand to see Adrian suffer. This boy has won me over and I want him out of Ernestos vicinity as soon as possible.
And thank you so much for the vocabulary! A lot of wonderful words I've never heard before and loved the rooster expression!
