Sueño de amor # 41 Wednesday 5/4/16. "Waterworks"

I have never seen so many tears in any production anywhere anytime. We pick up the action with Luca being taken in for questioning in the death of Vicente. Luca tells the officer what happened with Vicente. He was not going to let him threaten the girl he loves. The officer sees that as reason enough for killing him.

At school, Tracy is visiting Silvana in her office. They are looking at the security footage that shows Pedro's fight with Vicente. For a change of pace, Tracy corrects Silvana's Spanish. They talk about the murder. They are all excited that Pedro can be implicated in the murder and in that way they can make Esperanza suffer a bit. Silvana asks her secretary Quintina to get a hold of the detective that is investigating Vicente's murder.

Esperanza is with Ricardo. Ricardo sees Vicente's murder on the news on his phone and that Luca was brought in for questioning. He goes over in his own mind his encounter with Vicente. He tells Esperanza about it. Pato overhears about Luca and is immediately hysterical. Luca is not answering his phone. Ricardo explains that Luca is only in for questioning. He has not been arrested. Ricardo will find out what he can.


Back at the questioning, Luca's lawyer is telling him he does not have to answer Detective Rentería"s questions as Luca is trying to explain things to the detective. Ernesto and Viviana barge in and Ernesto threatens the detective for questioning Luca. Just at that moment, Rentería has a call to a answer on his cell. It is Silvana who wants to give them the name of The murderer Pedro Guerrero. At the same time, the not too bright Viviana is actually asking Luca why there was blood on his shoe last night. All Ernesto can manage is a "what?" Silvana is also sending the detective the recording of the fight between Luca and Vicente.

Kristel is in the school cafetería sitting at the same table with Pedro. (?) He wants to talk. She does not. He asks if she does not remember they were once friends. They were never friends. She reminds him he only was a friend to her to get closer to to her. He asks her to forgive him. What is his fault anyway?: loving her or making her feel what she does for him. He decides it is time to get away from her; something he should have done a long time ago. She calls him back asking him not to go. Crying she tells him she has a really big problem.

At school, Salma is running to the bathroom followed by her friend Astrid. Salma ends up throwing up in a stall where she gets a call from Margarita who tells her that she and Kristel will meet with her and her dad. Salma tells her she already has told her she did not want her parents to find out she was pregnant. Astrid is still in the bathroom and overhears. Astrid is left with her mouth hanging open at first but then sees how she can spread the news on and make herself more popular.

Next there is stooge comic relief as they make their way down the street with their ice cream cart. It seems that nobody had registered the name "Sueño de amor" so they can use it for their ice cream. They start hawking their new ice cream from the cart. Adán thinks back to what Begoña told him about how he and then other stooge were a Bad influence on Nacho and asks Nacho if he would not be better off without him and the other stooge because of the bad luck they bring. Nacho asks what bad luck? It is good luck for me that somebody wants to buy their ice cream and this scene is over.

At the police station, Luca is released with a warning not to leave the city. Ernesto gives him the stinkeye on the way out. Detective Rentería reviews the video of Pedro fighting with Vicente.

At the Gallo residence, Estrella comes in with Kiko talking about getting his surgery rescheduled. She checks the latest school gossip on her phone. Salma is pregnant. Estrella starts to sob. She tells Kiko the news. Suddenly Adrián is at her house and she asks him if he has checked Facebook. No, he hasn't so the still sobbing Estrella shows him the news about Salma being pregnant and him being the father. Tears are appearing in Adrián's eyes.

At the Guerrero house, it is dinner time and the door bell rings. It is the police headed by Detective Rentería with an arrest warran for Pedro. It is for the first degree murder of Pedro. Esperanza is hysterical and goes to get Pedro his diabetes medicine.

At the De la Colina sold house, Luca explains the whole Vicente situation with Pato to his parents. Viviana is still asking about the blood on his shoes. He had a bloody nose. Ernesto cannot believe she would be asking such a stupid question. Luca would not kill anybody. Pato arrives on the scene and ends up in Luca's arms.

At super secret spy central, Ricardo gets an update on Luca from Iker. They have not issued an arrest warrant for Luca. RicRdo gets Detective Remtería's name from Iker. He will be talking to him. Ricardo then gets a call from a crying Esperanza about Pedro's arrest as she is on her way to the police station.

Silvana and Tracy (now "friends")are rejoicing about their plan to get Pedro arrested and thinking about taking him down even further in social media, when Silvana sees a doctored photo of Salma with a baby with Adrián's face on her computer and reads that Salma is pregnant. The very sight of it knocks the breath out of her as she tells Tracy that it just cannot be.

At Salma's house, Salma is on the phone with her "best friend" Astrid asking how she could have done that to her. Salma now hates her and will have her mother run her out of their school. Salma is still crying. Her life is over already. Kristel tries to comfort her.

Adrián leaves the Gallo house in tears after Erasmo hears the news. It turns out Adrián is only 16 and Salma is 14. Erasmo and Kiko try to comfort sobbing Estrella. She is done with Adrián once and for all.

At Ricardo's house, Ricardo talks to Iker about keeping track of his kids with "chip" technology and new cell phones. Another topic is the new babysitter. He wants to be sure they really checked this one out. It turns out he was checked out by Interpol and they have a record all of his previous job assignments. The biggest surprise is that the babysitter arrives and is not a nana but a "nano" (that made me laugh)and is a police officer to boot. His name is Andrés. Ricardo tells him that his children are the most important thing in his life. He says goodbye to Selena and Rodrigo. Ricardo is off to join Esperanza at the police station.

At the police station, Detective Rentería starts to question Pedro after showing him the recording of the fight he had with Vicente. Did he kill Vicente? No. Where was he at 8:30 last night? At his mother's property for her school. Any witnesses to his whereabouts? No. the detective believes Pedro threatened to kill Vicente and then did. Outside of the interrogation room, Esperanza is crying. Pato and Luca arrive from the De la Colina sold house at the police station. They bring the same lawyer that was there for Luca.

Silvana returns to her house. Crying and screaming she lets Salma have it. How could have Salma been so stupid and how could she have changed her life forever? She grabs Salma, shakes her and then slaps her across the face. Kristel breaks them up and holds Silvana in check. Silvana would like to kill Salma. Salma the brat deserves a good beating. She warned Salma about Adrián. Quickly it becomes clear that Silvana is more concerned with the scandal and its effect on her rather than the well being of Salma. Kristel tries to get Silvana to calm down because if she doesn't she is going to lose them all. Silvana responds that she would prefer to be by herself than surrounded by stupid people like they are. Kristal calls her despicable. Silvana would like to know how she is so despicable when she isn't the one who had sex with a snotty nosed kid. Ernesto de la Colina will be hearing from her.

Out on the street, Erasmo tries to talk with Adrián. Adrián is crying and screaming and pulling his hair. His parents are going to kill him. He ends up sobbing in Erasmo's arms.

Viviana and Ernesto are at their now sold house. The closing is tomorrow at 8:00. Viviana will miss it. Ernesto leaves for his office while Viviana is on the phone talking about the murder with Luca when Adrián arrives sobbing.

Esperanza is still sobbing at the station when Ricardo arrives. There is a "nano" joke. Ricardo insists they have no proof against Pedro. Ricardo confesses that he had his run-ins with Vicente, too, having found him outside of her house and forced him to leave them alone. Esperanza asks what he exactly did do to Vicente.

At Ernesto's office. Tracy is torturing him with her Spanish and congratulating him on being a grandfather. Adrián got Salma pregnant. He is not pleased.

Ricardo voluntarily goes in to give Detective Rentería information on his interactions with Vicente. A warning is very different from killing somebody. Neither he, Luca or Pedro are guilty. The detective gives him the benefit of the doubt because he is a fellow officer of the law. But then who killed Vicente? Ricardo suggests that they look into his past since he was a jerk and this can't have been the first time he harassed somebody. Ricardo wants to know what the detective plans on doing with Pedro.

Kristel calls Mario at work because she cannot find Salma. She fills him in about the pregnancy and her mother slapping Salma. He is leaving work to help find Salma. Little do they know that a still hysterical and sobbing Salma is on a bridge ready to commit suicide.

Ricardo tells the still sobbing Esperanza they can keep Pedro for 24 hours for questioning. He tells her about the recording where Pedro threatened Vicente's life. Esperanza blames weepy Pato for not telling her everything about Vicente right away. (Really?) They could have avoided all of this. Anyway, Esperanza smells a rat. Vicente was killed last night and they had a video of the altercation between Vicente and Pedro today???

Salma is still on the bridge going over everything Silvana was screaming at her in her mind.

Pedro thinks of kissing Kristel in his jail cell.

At her now sold house, Viviana is talking with Adrián. He explains that the baby is his. He was drunk. Viviana will stay be his side. Kiko and Erasmo are there with him. ( Guess they went along to see him home.) Adrián apologizes for having hurt Estrella. Ernesto calls from the office while Tracy spins around in his chair having a fine old time. He wants Adrián to come to his office so they can talk,about Adrián getting Salma pregnant. Viviana says no. Ernesto needs to calm down and come to their now sold house to talk. He wants to argue. She hangs up on him.

Félix has invited Margarita out to lunch. She explains she has some very serious family problems. By the way she has noticed that he has feelings for Esperanza. It is only a platonic relationship he lies. Margarita will not play second fiddle to anyone. He grabs her hand, kisses it and tells her he really wants to get to know her. Oh!! They share his ice cream soda but she has her own sundae. Kristel calls to see if Margarita knows where Salma is. No. Suddenly Mario and Kristel see Salma on a bridge and arrive at the bridge to try to talk Salma down. Salma lets go so she can fall off the bridge and kill herself but Mario catches her from behind at the last moment. They all cry together on the bridge.

At the construction company, Silvana goes to force her way into Ernesto's office but Arleth tackles her. Ernesto hears the thud and comes out. Yes, he will see her. They scream at each other. Silvana is going to force Salma to get rid of the baby.

At the Gallo house, Estrella is on the phone and tells Adrián she has had it with him. This was the final straw. She has loved him from the start. She only asked that he not hurt her. They are over. Of course Erasmo and Kiko are listening to all of Estrella's crying and talking.

Esperanza, Pato and Ricardo visit Pedro in his jail cell crying all the way. The lawyer is working to get him out ASAP. Esperanza brings Pedro his veggies and blesses him before she leaves.

Ernesto arrives at his now sold house where he wants to talk to Adrián but Viviana and Luca are there to stop him until he calms down. Why should he calm down when all he wants to do is smash Adrián's face in. He always said Adrián needed a firm hand. Luca sticks up for his brother saying he needs affection, support and love. Ernesto will not be hurting him. Viviana says what is done is done. Ernesto does not agree. This thing is reversible. He agrees with Silvana: they have to get rid of the baby. Adrián has heard this from a hiding place behind some of the moving boxes.

The stooges, the "nano" and the Félix/Margarita encounter were all welcome breaks from this continual vale of tears. More mañana.
 

"Vale of tears" was perfect Jarifa.

This was very, very difficult to watch.

First, thank you for your always stellar recap.

"At the same time, the not too bright Viviana is actually asking Luca why there was blood on his shoe last night. All Ernesto can manage is a "what?"" and "It is good luck for me that somebody wants to buy their ice cream and this scene is over" were among my many favorites.

I suppose I should care that he, that someone is dead. Do I? Nopis.

I'm not quite sure what to say about the pregnancy for too young Salma and immature Adrian, her not so Romeo.

I do know they need love, understanding and support. Silvana was unleashed as the full blown monster she is. She is wretched. I was pleased Erasmo stepped up to the plate and offered comfort.

Surprisingly, one of calmer and (dare I say it) voices of reasons was Viviana who" says no. Ernesto needs to calm down and come to their now sold house to talk. He wants to argue. She hangs up on him". I was impressed! Standing up to the crazed Ernesto was some feat. Do I actually see her spine developing?

When Salma was on that bridge, I was afraid for a moment she might jump. thankfully, Mario was there to save her. I hope this is the beginning of the end for his buffoonish behavior. His daughter needs him and he must stop mooning over Viv and others. Snap out of it.

I'm very sorry Pedro is in jail. Dare I hope a crewcut is in his future? :)

Jarifa, this was excellent - full of details and all splendidly nuanced.

And yes, Félix/Margarita were a welcome diversion. Anything with Carman Salinas is grand.

Diana--

If there only were a crew cut in Pedro's future! Ha! Ha!
As for Carmen Salinas, her characters are always pretty similar but I enjoy her schtick.
 

I think I got most of the typos. : )
 

Thank you, Jarifa! I'm with you: thank goodness the cheesy ice cream cart seems to be a hit! Congrats, Stooges, now go enjoy your success off my screen.

I'm glad Erasmo settled down enough to follow Adrian and try to help him. I wish someone would listen to Adrian long enough to parse out that he did NOT consent to sex with Salma. If ever there was a plotline in need of some PSA sermonizing! Drunken inability to resist is NOT consent! Preach it from the rooftops! Make sure Estrella hears! I think she should stay out of Adrian's life and move on, but she also needn't scream at him for being raped like it was his choice. This poor kid needs serious therapy loving parental attention and none of the so-called adults in his life seem to notice what a wreck he is, or, if they do, to actually remember it for more than five minutes and follow up.

Silvana is the worst. I'm glad Mario pulled it together enough to save his daughter. Also not too impressed with all those passers-by who saw Salma up there thinking about jumping and did nothing. Call emergency services maybe? Stop traffic so she at least won't get hit by a car if she jumps? (It wasn't THAT far down; she could likely have survived the jump but not if she was also run over.) Someone go try to talk her out of it? But hey, maybe this will be the start of Salma's redemption. If that doesn't get her off Team Monster Mom, I don't know what would.

Disappointed that we haven't seen Saint Luca in the slammer yet. Pretty please? It would be a real twist if he actually did it.


 

It would be nice since anything and everything seems to be possible from the Osorio playbook that he would hit us with something truly shocking in this relatively light tale.
 

Also, Vicente was the son of the owner of Instituto Palacios, right? Shouldn't Silvana, as his employee, be making more of a display of condolences instead of celebrating his death as something to use against Esperanza?

So Whodunnit? Maybe Silvana actually stabbed him just so she could frame Pedro for it and use Vicente's family's grief to get away with shenanigans at the school. Like embezzling all the money or something, and framing Esperanza for that.
 

Could be. Silvana is truly unhinged.
