Sueño de amor, Ep. 57 (5.26.16) There are lies in your lips, in your hips, in your eyes, in your thighs, so much pain, you're so vain...

My big fat greek cancelled wedding tragedy
Pato ''se anduvo haciendo pato'' (was fooling around) so she could hear the conversation between Mapa and Ernesto. Esperanza said that in her house nobody lies, but is not true, because she is hurting Ricardo more hiding the truth from him than if she told him she has cancer. One day she was ready to be with him on sickness and health and suddenly she is stealing that from him
Ernesto's idea of rekindling their dream of love (only for show) so Ricardo can convince himself he is no longer wanted in her life (or what's left of it), doesn't fit Esperanza's plans. One moment looks like she takes a side with Ernesto to make Ricardo go away but then she changes back. Pato supports that idea because she thinks her father is a hero.
Choose wisely: Ernesto means more days in your life but Ricardo means more life in your days. What will it be? Die happy or die sad?


Sueño de andar!

In the hospital where Kiko has been lying on his belly for the last week, the doctor is happy because he connected everything right and Kiko is feeling his legs but Erasmo is concerned because he loves Pato (¿!). Kiko, despite his short age, gives his brother good advise: your friend's girlfriends should be invisible, untouchable, sacred and not the protagonists in your wet dreams. Both bros are hardheaded, so Kiko modifies the mexican dicho ''el burro hablando de orejas'' switching burro for chicken: El gallo hablando de plumas. Que no le den gato por liebre! Don't take a cat believing it is a rabbit.

No Subway specials tonight? No pancakes or Lala cheese?

The Alegrías are alegres because is pizza night and is all you can eat: 2 children and 2 adults will share 3 pizzas! Hawaiian, cheese and surprise. Since Domino's and Pizza Hut didn't want to get involved in such a nightmare of novela, now the Alegrías have to eat Pizza ''patito'' (generic, no brand name).
After eating and with the kids running around making a lot of noise, Ricardo takes some love advise from Iker and goes to visit Esperanza in the hopes to know the whole truth about the wedding cancellation and the rejection.

Twinkle, twinkle!

Viviana and Estrella take Adrián back to the CEREAL and Dr Mireya tells them how much Adrián has been talking about Estrella, the famous and luminous star, sister of the bricklayer and the kid in his wheelchair! She thought they're were an item, but Estrella quickly clarifies that they're nothing anymore. Adrián swears he will remember fondly the best moments they spent together (jajaja! That will be the shortest flashback ever!)

Cometa dahling is how Viviana has chosen to name the girl, because after all, aren't all celestial bodies the same? Is either that or she have a problem remembering people's names... Adrián tries to call her Cometa too, but that is reserved for her ex in law, so he calls her many other car names, among them galaxy and supernova!
BTW, Adrián still has Salma's t-shirt, or is that some kind of uniform?

Better than planned!

Outside Esperanza's house, Ricardo encounters Ernesto and losing all control, starts beating him while Ernesto secretly lets him punch him over and over. Some passerby records part of the brawl with his phone but later runs to the street to look for help, in the shape of 2 policemen who take Ric to jail sweet jail. Luckily, today police cars were allowed to be driven imecas or not.

BYOF: Cristina Vélez Valderrama brought her own flashbacks!

Cristina Vélez Valderrama, the very famous specialist in saving schools from very difficult crisis that have low ranking and need to be improved as a teacher and pedagogue more like a firewoman of the education and the only one who can save this school and give it back its reputation, cries through her flashbacks, where we can see how her partner needs to join Ricardo in the anger management therapy because after beating her until leaving her unconscious, took their daughter against her will and threatened to kill her! So this is the tragedy that have her hidden from the rest of the world except when jogging? I thought the girl was already dead (Bárbara made me think so)

Beware of the imecas!

CDMX could be everything you want, the biggest city and the most beautiful, the one with the most museums and the worst prisons, but since it is sitting like a bowl surrounded by mountains, is also the most polluted. IMECAs (metropolitan index of air contamination), as we call them, get so high sometimes, that NOT ONE SINGLE car can be driven. People has to rely on public transportation (free during emergencies), hybrid cars or bicycles. 
The ''today does not circulate'' affects Maggie's motorcycle and she have to go to school walking. Hopefully she will get there before final exams.
Today, with more than 150 imecas, Márgara have a talk with Lady preñada, about her begotten daughter, Silvana, and how the choice of making bad decisions runs in their DNA. Cría cuervos y tendrás un montón. Check out la tuerta, she raised them and lost one eye.

Alternative medicine

Out in the market, Pedro looks for alternative home remedies against cancer. Luca, just to not loose Pato, simulates to agree with every crazy idea he has, even when he could be bringing the best medical staff whether Esperanza agrees or not, there's no time to be proud stubborn now, this is a life and death situation.
The vendor offers him the powder of the rattle of a snake, scorpion's tail's pills, San Juan's herbs, echinacea, belberó and muérdago. Really? Does the mistletoe works too? Good to know! I have heard of strong coffee enemas. Maybe a combination of everything? If she doesn't get better, at least she forgets about it for a while!!
Luca is sure that Esperanza will never die, and will be the 1 in every 5 cases that survive... 

Fairy Godgreatgrandmother

Kuris and Manzanares eat together. I understand the chicken and potatoes, but what about the chicharrón seco? I know Félix loves hers, but Márgara? 
After seeing Esperanza's epic fail, weddings are not in Ms manzanares plans. She thinks it is more 21st century to live together without signing any papers. OoooOOohh! Que motherna! Even so, she said something that made me think she has Doris memory span, because after she said she would not get married again, she said yes when the girls asked her to be her flower girls at the wedding!
She has the laziest Susan I have seen, this one doesn't even turn!
OK, this is too much greek tragedy so let's go to the ''comic relief'':
Mario loves Viviana but if he wants to have a chance, he will have to start acting like a real man, from the 40s, that are the ones Márgara remembers. She, being his Fairly Godmother, will grab one of those plastic scratching hands old people use to scratch their backs, as a magic wand and voilá! Now you are a truly fake man. Like James Cagney, only faker. Remember, female whales stay with the strongest male and Márgara herself gave Félix a real hard time catching her.
Since the 3 stooges are gone for good, now the tragic nuisance is Márgara and her John Wayne impersonator classes, when they walk, is more like the march of the penguins.
Madrina (godmother) is used in México instead of ''madrazo'' (hit), so she tell him she will be beating him up during Classes. She calls him Ceniciento (Cinderello), and never stop saying what I hate most: bombo, bombas (that is also a softened way of insulting people). 

Ricardo is hysterical in the cell while Ernesto is taken to the doctor to see his broken ribs and all. If he is a cop, why look for trouble?

Pato me cae en las patasSatanasia is now living la vida rémora, and suddenly remembers that now that she ''have money'', she could fix a little flashdrive where she had stored some x-rated video she recorded when she was with Luca. Money is not a problem, said Kracy, let's fix it and see if we can recover the data. That video will change her life and could probably give her her own ''Keeping up with Anastashians'' show.

The secret is becoming the most secretest while being shared with half the world. Pato shares the 411 with Luca and Ernesto, and Pedro shares it with Kristel. 

I don't know where is Andrés? But Rentería allows Ricardo make his phone call and then, after he wants to talk even with the parrot, when he wants the call to end, starts coughing, offers Ricardo a lawyer and changes his last name from Alegría not to Alergia (Allergy), but to Furia (Fury). Ricardo goes to the cell and has 48 hours to declare.

While Viviana reads ''How to become a successful businesswoman'' asks Tribilina whats her opinion about Mario. She thinks he is very bland, like Gutierritos (a character from the first mexican telenovela ever who was so goodhearted, people stepped on him all the time). Handsome guys like Ernesto could be ugly inside, and the inside is what matters. 

If those matruskas could speak!

The more the merrier. PatoLuca, Esperanza and Pedro talk about Ernesto, the good one, the one that changed with her illness, and the option of letting him help. There's nothing to lose trying, and the three against one's pressure to accept, BTW did you see that refrigerator? Being a teacher makes good money! Too bad she is going to have to sell it to pay for treatments. Anyway. All of them corner Esperanza and once Ernesto gets there all bruised crying and blaming Ricardo bad temper trying to prove he has changed, she finally accepts. With certain conditions. To start, Ernesto must withdraw his accusation and let Ricardo free. Too late Esperanza wants to spare Ricardo the pain of spending a night in jail, but his heart is already broken, what could be worse?

Speaking of Ricardo, he spends a very bad night in jail, twisting and turning with all the painful flashbacks rolled in one! Plus voices in his head!

I am not ok, you're ok, we're nok

After Pedro got yerbitas del mercado, and to get his mind off Esperanza's greek tragedy, he goes to see (touch, kiss) Kristel. She say ''I love you'' and he cries to hear it for the first time. How is your diabetes? Fine thanks, under control. Mapa is my only pain right now.
Bombos!! Chiflando y aplaudiendo (whistling and clapping -so I know what are you doing with your hands and mouths) that I will be ''guachando'' says grandmargarita waving her little plastic scratching hand while waving her behind like a ship on high seas as she walks away.

Victim of the circumstances
In jail, Silvana claims revenge on everybody who has shared Esperanza's secret SHE ABUSED and ended up not helping her! La tuerta and her most black velvety tattoo (that looks VERY REAL!!) get as close as she can get without getting a restriction order and confesses she killed her husband because he did the same Mario did to Silvana. Now he wants to get them all! Arrasando parejo, first Kristel because she is beautiful, then Salma, because she is stupid, later mi bomba madre and Mario at the end, like the cherry of the cake.

Ernesto wakes Kracy up with good news! She could use the incident that sent Ricardo to jail to keep the custody of the kids! And even when she is more drunk than sober, still celebrates!

Tomorrow! Ricardo wants the whole truth but only gets his ring back!!

It's been raining all day and before something happen to the power and/or the internet, here it is, enjoy!!
 

Pablo, the title was excellent as was the recap.

Far too many lines to quote but "My big fat greek cancelled wedding tragedy", "Choose wisely: Ernesto means more days in your life but Ricardo means more life in your days. What will it be? Die happy or die sad?" and "Kiko, despite his short age, gives his brother good advise: your friend's girlfriends should be invisible, untouchable, sacred..." were among my favorites.

I didn't see any of this so thank you for your very funny, detailed recap.

Unfortunately, Esperanza is still suffering from stupidity and Ricardo from perpetual denseness. Given her past medical history, does Ricardo truly have no idea what is wrong?? Ernesto is wrong of course with what he is doing but at least he is being proactive and doing something. He is going about everything all wrong but at least he is there and not musing like Ricardo, trying to figure out what is wrong but doing nothing.

Erasmo? I can't. Even. Go there. Did he tick Osario off? What else could have happened to have him pine after Kristel, a woman without substance with little personality and no spark, and now, Pato (?) a sweet girl, but obviously in love with someone else. Huh?

Sorry I missed Kiko and am glad the procedure seems to be a success.

Glad I missed Cris but must admit, I am looking forward to seeing how bad Marco really is.

Sil is a monster. I hope she rots in jail. Hasn't her family suffered enough?

Great work Pablo. Hope to get back on track and see tomorrow's episode.

Thanks, Pablo. What fun! "Check out the tuerta, she raised them and lost one eye." was the best! Another good one: "Ricardo wants the whole truth but only gets his ring back!!" It is so appropriate because when he gave Esperanza the ring he never told Esperanza the whole truth of those 20 years and why he never tried to contact her. Still waiting.

I could not believe that Ricardo would get into a fight with Ernesto when he is supposedly so concerned about his kids and after he just told Selena she would not have to go back with her mom. I was happy they arrested him even though it played right into Ernesto's plan. The kids would probably be better off with neither of their goofy parents at this point.

Margarita with her back scratcher and Mario was something else and funny.

So now we know Cristina's story and why she is so quick to attack and fight. Another serious plot line with possibilities of far more drama than if her daughter Abril were dead. Too bad.
 

Come to think of it, Cristina and Ricardo could really commiserate and identify with each other with their exe's having custody/ control of their children. Cristina's situation is Ricardo's nightmare just waiting to happen.
 

Right, del odio nace el amor...
From hate to love there's only one little step...
 

About Esperanza lying to Ricardo. A big lie in a loving relationship is a traición. This one is unforgivable. I expect the lies will be piling on top of this one. The people knowledgeable about the lie will have to trample their conscience and make up more lies. I hope Ricardo finds his happiness with Cristina and never looks back.

Lacio
 

Absurd plotlines like this always make me ask myself 2 things:

Do I want this to end right now?
Does this thing have to last for another 80 episodes?

The thing is that I think they can still solve plot twists in a decent manner AND STRETCH THE LALA COMMERCIAL to infinity and beyond! The thing is doing it smartly.

Ricardo after knowing the truth still can be dubious and surprised and shocked and maybe thinking twice about getting married, go back to LA to rethink about it, meet another gringa, BUT, since he already burnt his card with those 20 years from we know nothing, the story had to be scrapped and bring out things out of their sleeve like this hard drive with the x rated video, the cancer, Erasmo confused, not that I am complaining but I would expect different things. Unexpected things in a novela. Send people to Tabasco, kill people, have babies so they can advertise pampers, etc. etc.
 

I agree totally. At this point they should just go for broke.
