Sueño de amor, Ep. 66 (6.9.16) What hurts the most are lies, someone please get Ricardo some morphine!
We start this episode visiting the Gallos, and Estrella is complaining that Erasmo, who just got the check from Pato last night, did it a little bit too late.
-Why?- Erasmo asks
-Well, because you could have done the same BEFORE ALL THIS STARTED (and spare me to go to Tamaulipas and service old guys against my will or you and Kiko die).
Why some people trust the police and some don't is not explained here, but I am sure that if she had reported Sansón on time, he could have been watched and/or arrested. Plan B could be getting help from Ricardo in his new justice avenger mode, but he no longer works in Vasconcelos, or does he? Is that school still open? I haven't heard anything about it anymore...
Oh, well, who am I kidding?... we have to make this last until mid september, right? Lala productos are not going to sell themselves!!

Half truths can be handled with Tylenol
While Doña Silvia Derbez rolls in her grave watching this horror, in the Guerrero household, Esperanza and the kids have decided to sell the spinning bicycles to pay for the surgery. I don't see the point of taking the trouble to make a garage sale where I can only make 5 dollars when I need 500, but again, who am I to judge?
And speaking of judges, admiring her mariguana plants I can see why this judge (who doubles as a ventriloquist and sometimes forgets where to do what) has a stiff face. She receives Ricardo, then the kids and then a beaten up Kracy with her witness Anastasia (she has a belly piercing, but I noticed some other little ''nipple'' a little lower, what could it be?).
Back to Esperanza's spincave, customer #1, a chubby blond guy in his 50s, asks if this is the final offer and since it is, he leaves without even checking the merchandise and arguing that the items are not what he thought they were. Really? What part of spinning bicycles you didn't understand? I remember seeing a lotta people in the spinning class, maybe they could buy their own bicycle or better yet, tell Amira or Samira the mute (the ''S'' is silent) to spread the word in the neighborhood. Oh, sorry, she is no longer with us for reasons only known to the writers!! Maybe she followed stooge #1 to the Us of... Tabasco!
In this family we tell no lies and keep no secrets
Esperanza might have cancer but still love the gossipy, so in this 30 minutes before she have to go to school, she wants to know everything about Luca and Erasmo's conundrums in her kids lives. Her excuse is that she wants normalcy, being treated like before they knew she had three months to live. The tender family moment is interrupted by customer #2, who doesn't buy anything either. Pato offers herself as the best seller and starts yelling like people do on the streets. Pato, keep your day job!
Back to Judge stiffy, showing no expression pretends she doubts everybody and at this time she doesn't have a lie detector, so she have to trust the evidence, fake, faker or the fakest, whatever the case. With everybody screaming at the same time, its hard to truly listen. Ricardo claims all this is a lie, that if in fact he was the one doing he beating, he could have killed her, while Kracy swears he did it and even has a recording to prove his death threats. He has anger issues your honor, he was in Afganistán and has PSST! Or post traumatic stress syndrome. Juarever you call it in spanish.
Add to that everything about La sombra and Rodrigo's nightmares and you have a solid case. At the end, after all the evidence against Ricardo, Kracy is sent to the hospital and Ricardo takes his kids to school. To make sure Higinia, the receptionist overhears and feels pity of him, he talks very loud telling the kids that he will tell them the story of the crying dragon, based on true events (maybe his?).
In Nueva Luz, Sandy Pecantrees still doesn't show signs of life.
There's bad timing and there's worse
When Esperanza finally gets to school, the first thing she does is go ask Mrs Santillana for an all paid leave of absence, but since Cristina Vélez Valderrama, the very famous saviour and specialist in helping 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, still is not answering the phone. Despite this being a very bad moment to make a disappearing act, Bárbara grants Esperanza's wishes. Now it could be a good time to see Esperanza go to Naconcelos and ask for the same to Margarita, but oh darn, Margarita has a lot on her plate right now and she herself has been excused for the rest of the scholar year and the school is closed.
All men are dogs (or at least the ones who use public transportation)
And speaking of beauty past her prime, in Marjorie Manzanares household, Salma steals everything she can to run to abortion clinic because she has decided to get rid of Adriáns baby. So much she loved Adrián to make him drink and sleep wit him that now she rejects his fetus.
With the watch and the 10,000 pesos, Salma and Astrid go to the Clinic D'Abortoz in a bus that seems full of horny men wanting to rape them. You can almost see them lick their lips. They got into the wolf's mouth but for some reason the picture of Oil Can Harry (gato grasoso) came to mind.
Me extraña que siendo araña te caigas de la pared
(Being a spider, you shouldn't fall from the wall)
Margarita, who should know more than the devil due to her age, still don't put 2 and 2 together with all things missing, money and Mario's watch. The only thing she does to ''make sure'' Salma is actually sleeping over Astrid, is talk to her mother on the phone. Take good care of Salmita, Astrid mom, granny said, she is just a little bit pregnant!!
When they finally realize Salma's true intentions, it is to late, almost 5 o'clock (the appointment was 4:30). They try calling Salma. The number that you have dialed is no longer in service or has been disconnected, says the machine. Then they try calling Astrid but she is also out of reach.
Who is the judge here, me or you?
The appointment was at 5 and Ricardo was seeing the judge way before Salma´s appointment with Dr Extractor. He had another appointment with the expressionless judge and kept talking about the same. He is trying to convince her that Kracy is tricky and astute. The judge has to see all sides to the story and then decide. You know. Every truth has three sides. Yours, hers and the real truth!
A few hours later, after Patedro's class and once without their uniform, they go to sell the bicycles again, seeing customer #3...
What you didn't do in 20 years you did in 2 days?
And speaking of runaway girls, Ricardo, with Baxter's help and the surveillance cameras around the city, has finally located Sandy Pecantrees, the girl whose case is in public domain because she was raped by four affluenza kids who are out of México and she wants to kill them all, and who is being treated and only trusts Cristina Vélez valderrama, the very famous pedagogue/therapist who saves kids from very difficult crisis that have low self esteem and home problems and need to be rescued as a therapist and counselor more like a firewoman of the psyche and the only one who can save battered women through the power of coloring and drinking red kool-aid.
Juaréver, Ricardo, who couldn't find Esperanza in 20 years until he was inadvertently helped by la sombra, now is finding girls in 2 days flat!!!
Let's go to the hospital, where Kracy is being treated for her bruises. The doctor said that she is lucky she doesn't have broken ribs or anything, considering that was ''a man'' who hit her. Seeing the size of Ricardo's biceps, I would think too that she should be dead!
After the doctor is gone, Kracy wants to go out and celebrate with ally Anastasia because drinking and taking pills is nothing new for her and she can handle it. While they sip a bubbly or two, they will plot against Ricardo, who she hates because he disregarded her and has loved Esperanza even before they met. That is something she knew, where is the surprise? Anyway, her logic is, ''if I am not happy nobody will'' and for that and many more reasons, he can not keep her kids.
The case of the shrinking shadow
Sasquatch!
In the clinic, while some woman who is about to give birth any second now is denied the right to have a abortion, Salma and Astrid still argue if they are doing the right thing or not.
-What if you die?- Asks Astrid
-Well, that's just collateral damage, all in a day's work!
The clandestine abortion clinic has a bingo window that show different things from inside and from outside. It also has magic clock on the wall, but that's another story. Let's go to the window first. Outside, Astrid's head is located high, on the second row to the left, but from inside, her silhouette is in the very corner. Exactly on her side like it's made out of cardboard because we see her crying at first, but then IT DOESN'T MOVE!
Well... once Salma has been summoned inside the room Astrid takes advantage and calls Margarita, better to ask for forgiveness than for permission, right? Is here when the whole family of three grab a taxi and head to the clinic. May from heaven the saint cross descents and over our bodies extends, and from all evil and danger, my soul protects, prays Ms Manzanares when she is not screaming to Fher of Maná!
Granny says: Step on the gas! Don't you understand that my granddaughter is about to get an abortion?
So? Am I responsible for that? Where were you when she got pregnant?
Then Mario asks the doctor: My daughter is only 14!
So? This is my job and somebody has to do it, where were you when she got pregnant?
Doctor, could I die? Well, you could also die outside if you get run over by a car, or by food poisoning, or slipping in the bathtube...
OK, now let's go to the clock. The hands are all crooked but it seems to be 4:49 when Salma goes in. When all hell breaks loose with her whole family (minus Silvana) storm in to rescue her, the clock shows 5:55. Did the three flashbacks she was having while her business aired up lasted that long? Did the doctor explained the procedure he was going to do, dilating the uterus opening with some state of the art instruments (that he knows as fingers), then inserting the cannula with the vacuum already on and then just to make sure after the vacuum aspiration perform a curettage shaving inside to take out the embryo hecho pinole, besides the risks and all that IN MORE THAN ONE HOUR? I wish I knew where Margarita's house is located, because this clinic is in Iztapalapa and it's either one of three, or the doctor's speech was long, the trip in the taxi short, or the clock needs batteries*. In any case, SuperMario and bros got there just in time and after rescuing the girl, who despite being numb was able to stand up and walk, grabbed the doctor and threatened him with calling the police and close down his clinic if he didn't give them their money back. Where do you think you are? Walmart?
I think you have to report this to the police anyway, not only if they fail to refund your money. Do you know about the supply and demand? It is for girls like Salma that this places exist. Someone has to do the job, or they will do it themselves and that could end up worse.
Swinging singles
When Patedro come back to the house, Esperanza is caught reading ''How to educate'' and immediately offers them ''recalentado'' meaning reheated leftovers but all they eat is prójimo! They look suspicious and the good news is that THEY SOLD ALL THE BICYCLES!! Now the surgery can be scheduled asap. OK, now to the really important, how is Luca and Erasmo's conundrums doing? Con pelos y señales! With every little juicy detail, please, I am an adult! I want to know how all this swapping partners happened, you with Kristel and you with Erasmo? Who would have thought, right? The things we have to see before dying!
Later on Luca calls and they argue yet again. Fast forward!
Is like when they need to kill time to fill the infomercial up, they bring back this issue with the Guerrero's love life. And they keep grinding and grinding the same issue over and over.
When the Guerreros see their mother updating her health status on Facelook, start discussing whether they should accept Ernesto's help without telling her and then after the surgery, when she realizes what they did she would be angry for an hour or two but she will forgive them, as loving as she is.
But Esperanza, whose cancer's side effect is superhearing, listens, while pretends she is oblivious to her surroundings. Oh boy, she is right when she says she knows them because she carried them 9 months each in her belly before throwing them to the world.
There's nothing a good hug can not fix!
Once at home sweet home, Ricardo checks the video feed from the cameras he installed in the kids bedrooms and then calls them. They are fine, but he asks to speak with either Greta or Othilia, whoever skirt's is shorter. The maid said she didn't know anything about Kracy's bruises and speaking of the devil, she shows up with Anastasia demanding drinks and hors d'oeuvres. Anastasia, who suddenly shows some remorse, is worried about the perjury.
Ricardo gets a call from Baxter, who has located Sandra near avenida Insurgentes and he runs to her. She happens to be seated at the same bench she always do. When he approaches her, she screams but at the sole mention of the name, yes, that name we all have grown to love, Cristina Vélez Valderrama, the superwoman who can teach and heal souls in her spare time, Sandra recovers all faith in men and quietly follows Ricardo wherever he takes her.
Meaning Nueva Luz shelter for battered women.
When Ricardo shows up as a hero with Sandra, Cristina Vélez Valderrama, very famous pedagogue/therapist who saves kids from very difficult post rape crisis and that have low self esteem, killing revenge instincts and home problems and need to be rescued as a therapist and counselor more like a firewoman of the psyche and the only one who can save battered women through the power of love, is there to hug her.
Reluctantly she thanks Ricardo but he modestly agrees that he doesn't deserve it. After all, all he did was ask Baxter to check the footage and monitor every camera in the city...
Tomorrow!
Ricardo: -Bárbara, who is very discreet, told me that you have some serious problems!
Cristina: -And you want me to go work for her as therapy?
*Actually, the clock never had batteries. The person setting it up for the times that they wanted us to see, didn't even know how to read time. When he supposed to show 4:49, he put the little hand exactly on the number 4 and the long one on the 10, when the little one should have been closer to 5 than to 4. He did the same with 5:55, and put the little hand on the number 5 and the other one on the 11. This is when you hire cheap labor.
While Doña Silvia Derbez rolls in her grave watching this horror, in the Guerrero household, Esperanza and the kids have decided to sell the spinning bicycles to pay for the surgery. I don't see the point of taking the trouble to make a garage sale where I can only make 5 dollars when I need 500, but again, who am I to judge?

Honestly, Pablo, I don't know how you do it! How do you manage to churn out these gems week after week? I watched the episode and it was depressing, repetitive, frustrating, irritating, chafa,... you name it. I read the recap and it's comedy gold! I'm laughing my head off in the dark at the crack of dawn, if anybody in the house hears me, they'll think I've gone Kracy! I have many things to highlight and/or discuss and/or rant about but I gotta get to sleep, so I'll dive into it tomorrow. I just popped in to commend your wonderful sense of humor and your great attention to detail. Those clock and window observations had me going whaaaat?! It's amazing that you picked up on those details. I was just trying to get through those scenes without poking myself in the eye.
Many thanks, indeed! Catch you tomorrow! :)
Many thanks, indeed! Catch you tomorrow! :)
Thanks.
There's a backstory and I think it is because when we were kids, we watched in México a Japanese show called ''Señorita Cometa'', that as we grew up, became some sort of cult because few people remembered it and from 79 episodes, only a handful were available in spanish recorded from tv with very bad quality and fewer than those were available in japanese with no subtitles (VHS tape). So, to make the story short, we spent decades reviewing and commenting those 10 episodes trying to find new things every time we saw them. The irony is that now that the 79 episodes had been released on DVD, nobody comments anymore!
Maybe that's why I screen the sounds, background music and little details so closely...
Here were I live is time to go to bed, so to all a good night!

Thanks, Pablo, for the laughs and info on "Señorita Cometa".
Well, I knew the abortion would never take place and now we know how that played out. Will the baby be given up for adoption or will Salma or even Mario keep it?
Pedro is now wearing one of those stupid shirts designed to show off his biceps with the too tight too short sleeves and extremely poor fit. I am sorry to see them trying to turn him into something he is not.

What? A man? LOL!!
I don't know if any of the patio pals know more about Cometto-San, but she was a princess from planet Beta that was sent to earth to learn to behave and served as a nanny for two very mischievous kids and did it through the magic of her baton.
So, when Viviana decided to call Estrella ''Cometa'' because she came from space, I thought I was imagining things, but who knows, maybe Osorios winks to previous works go as far back as to late 60s. After all, it is some kind of an icon and has been referred in other TNs.

That actor is just such a kid and the tiny short sleeve style is unflattering on everyone. Guess my age is showing . . .
Anyway, I am going to have to see what I can find of "Cometa" on Toutube. Sounds like fun.

Pablo, your Kracy recap was a Killer.
You blew it out of the water. I totally agree with Nandicta that the episode was depressing (among many other emotions) but that faded with reading your smart, sly comments. Thank you.
"All men are dogs (or at least the ones who use public transportation)" and "Juaréver, Ricardo, who couldn't find Esperanza in 20 years until he was inadvertently helped by la sombra, now is finding girls in 2 days flat!!!" were among many favorites.
"I don't see the point of taking the trouble to make a garage sale where I can only make 5 dollars when I need 500, but again, who am I to judge?" Yes. Really? Why was so much time devoted to this, surely a small amount of profit for a huge chunk of screen time.
"SuperMario and bros got there just in time...grabbed the doctor and threatened him with calling the police and close down his clinic if he didn't give them their money back. Where do you think you are? Walmart?" Umm, yes. And honestly? If I had just rescued my daughter, the money would have been the very last thing on my mind. That was really inconsistent with Mario's nature. But, he was beyond infuriated. It might have been the fury that prompted him to remove any gain from what almost occurred.
Jarifa, somehow, the same look Pedro sports seems to work for Erasmo, Ricardo and yes, Ernesto. To me, it's not only that Pedro is young but I must harken back to that detested man bun. It does not help the "luke". :(
Pablo, this was great. Thank you.
Diana

Pablo, I just watched part of an episode. What a vintage treasure! Your "Cometa" website is quite an accomplishment: excellent just like your "Cinematerapia" website with your movie/tv show reviews/actor directory, etc. You truly have a gift for researching and writing.
Diana, the man bun does not help. I must admit :( that I dislike the tight shorty sleeve look on any actor. I am not a fan of the big bicep look. I will happily leave all of those with that "luke" to you who truly appreciates it! ;)

Idleness is the mother of all vices (makes more sense in spanish), so I guess I use all my spare time doing the things that I like.
Speaking about Pedro, maybe they want to give his character the (I don't know how to say it but it is when 2 males are competing for a female and show off their best assets) chance to tell Kristel, I know you loved Erasmo, but look here, I look better. The question is, will Kristel love him because he is a younger blonder version of the ''bricklayer'' or because he is different, right?

I understand the desperation of the parents who see the pending danger and try to avoid the worse for their kids, but the reason I insist so much in mocking Márgara and Mario is because now they are in a hurry to stop Salma and save her life, when they didn't pay appropriate attention to her when she needed it.
The cab driver is not responsible of driving faster and crash, just because they have to get to the clinic on time.
The ''doctor'' is not checking IDs or asking how old are this girls whose parents neglected them and now that ''the kid has drowned, want to put a lid on the well''. Too late.
I know it sounds awful, but I would have liked that they didn't get on time and that Salma's abortion went wrong and she ended up in the hospital unable to have kids in the future. That could be a good lesson for everybody instead of something this predictable. You want original? Here's original!

Pablo, thank you for your most excellent recap. Sueno was not aired where I live (Seattle), as soccer was broadcast instead. Sounds like more action last night that usual. Thanks to you I didn't miss a thing.

Hellow again amigowz!
I re-read the recap this morning and what do you know? As funny as the first time! Here are my random remarks, in no particular order (Sorry but Osorio’s refusal to give a flying fudge about flow and coherence is rubbing off on me):
In addition to the top favorites mentioned by Diana, I also enjoyed your over-the-top pompous introductions of Cristina Somethingez Somethingama and all her superhuman talents. Osorio and Co harped on Cristina’s introduction for so long that they rendered her character unbearable before viewers even had a chance to properly know her.
“Doña Silvia Derbez rolls in her grave watching this horror”, I hope she haunts the ever-loving crap out of Osorio for desecrating her memory like this.
“I don't see the point of taking the trouble to make a garage sale where I can only make 5 dollars when I need 500”. And I don’t see the point of selling a gold chain and 3 cellphones when I need 15,000 USD. Erasmo better sell a kidney.
Oh, Ricardo has PSST! alright. It’s the sound we hear every time a brain cell of his deflates.
“the Clinic D'Abortoz” Tee hee hee!
Loved this dicho you shared with us: “Me extraña que siendo araña te caigas de la pared”. I had never heard it before. I know you mentioned it in reference to Margarita and Mario’s incapacity to put 2 and 2 together for the longest time, but I think it also applies to almost every character in this novela. So many of them walk around thinking they’re the bees knees, yet they all act like drooling morons.
This one was very clever: “(Esperanza) immediately offers them (her kids) ''recalentado'' meaning reheated leftovers but all they eat is prójimo!” Maybe Espe’s newfound affinity for gossip seems to be a side-effect of her illness or maybe Osorio is trying to get creative with his fillers.
Jarifa, you are absolutely right, those bicep shirts look silly on everyone and it’s not an age thing. I’ve never liked them, not even when I was a teenager. I also dislike fitted t-shirts and jackets that are 2 sizes too small (looking at you Rico Suave). The only person I tolerate in slightly fitted clothing (or even in grandpa PJs like in MEPS and PyP) is Colunga whom I simply adore! So when it comes to him, I let stuff slide.
Diana, I couldn’t agree more that “detested man bun” has got to go! Someone please cut it off in his sleep!

Before I go, many thanks for sharing info on “Señorita Cometa” with us, Pablo. I watched part of the first episode on Youtube and it threw me back to my childhood. I grew up watching Japanese cartoons which were mostly filmed from 1981 to 1992 and broadcasted on Moroccan TV in the mid-nineties dubbed in classical Arabic. Compared to the cartoons I currently happen to catch on TV, I think the ones I grew up watching were far superior. The stories were charming and engaging. The development of plots was just the right pace, not too fast and not too slow either. My favorites growing up were “Princess Sally”, the story of an orphan girl in British India, “My Daddy Long-Legs”, based on the novel of the same name by Jean Webster and “Robin Hood”. However, my biggest obsession was “Captain Tsubasa”, a Japanese footballer who lead his country to the World Cup several years before Japan managed to qualify to that tournament for the first time in history in 2002. “Señorita Cometa” has that familiar feel of simpler stories told in simpler times so I’m adding it to my viewing program to accompany breakfast or help me unwind at night. I checked your website about the series and I’m sure it will be an excellent viewing companion. Thank you!
Just a little heads up, I will be going away for a long weekend this evening. The place is in the countryside and there is no Internet there. Before I leave, I'll schedule tonight's recap to be published at 8 pm EDT after the episode airs. There are no SdA episodes on Monday June 13 or Tuesday June 14. I will catch you guys on Wednesday. Have a great weekend! :)
Thank you Nandicta!
Enjoy your well deserved weekend and we will look forward to your return.
Diana

Yes, enjoy your weekend and thanks!
I once found a DVD of Captain Tsubasa (Super Campeones) dubbed in spanish in a sidewalk sale here in my neighborhood and to my surprise, when they find one of the kids that was lost, the father say: Thanks to the virgin of Guadalupe. It's funny, because whoever dubbed it, included that and it makes sense, since México's devotion for the virgin only compares to the one they feel for soccer.

Had Captain Tsubasa thanked La Virgen de la Paz indeed, Japan would've qualified to the World Cup a lot earlier! :D
Tonight's recap is scheduled to be published in a wee while. Catch you on Wednesday! Have an excellent weekend! :)
