Yago #29. Monday July 4, 2016. The Sprinkler Sprinkled, The Hunter Hunted, The Betrayer Betrayed
Resting Iván Sánchez face |
-- To put it politely: This fecal matter just got real!
A closer look
Lucio is arrested outside Casa Guerrero just as he and Matías were preparing to flee the country. Matías is distressed by the scene and keeps tearfully asking: “What’s happening, Papá?”. He bangs on the police car window and pleads with the officers not to take his daddy away because “he didn’t do anything”. Lucio reassures his son that everything is going to be alright. The poor kid continues to cry while Sara tries to console him. Yago observes the scene silently and thinks to himself: “There are moments that haunt you (perseguir) all your life and this is one of them. I know that I’ll never forget the sorrowful expression of Matías when he saw the man he thinks is his father being apprehended. I knew that my revenge would cause collateral damage (daños colaterales) but I never imagined hurting my own son”.

Thank you Julie and Countx for your excellent recaps of Wednesday and Thursday respectively.
Welcome Jaago! We're happy to have you with us! Just remember that discussing events that happened in the previous version of this series is strictly prohibited. We are analysing characters and events purely based on what is currently happening in this present version and you are free to jump in with your own opinion any time you want, so long as you adhere to the aformentioned guidelines.
Enjoy the first part of the recap. I'll watch the second half of the episode and post its recap by 9 pm EDT.
Yago really was foolish to not realize how he would be hurting Mati by destroying his parents, especially his most dear parent, Lucio.
What is Yago playing at, not telling Fidel that Camilo summoned him to dinner, and then leading him right into that trap? I'm sure he doesn't intend to get Fidel killed, and I do derive a certain pleasure from seeing Fidel being left in the dark and then surprised. But, I don't want Camilo to win any points. Camilo was very good at mixing truth with lies to justify his behavior to Julia.
Poor Bruno is so heartbroken and worried sick. I wanted to smash something over the head of that cop. OK. Here's my crazy theory--- Sylvia has been following Alejandra since she told her about Damian, which is why she was there to run him over when he chased after Ale. And why I think Sylvia rescued Ale and is nursing her back to health. Those were a ton of pills she was bringing back from the pharmacy when Teo and Katia came calling...
Carvivile: Alejandra is DEAD. She ain't coming back because she brought this on herself by trying to play with the big boys & got burned.
Nandicta: Having a gut feeling Abel will end up in a mental institution.
I don't understand what Yago's motives would be to turn on Fidel. What does Camillo have to offer him? Yago has the people he wants vengeance on in his hands. I have to believe that Fidel is in on this or Yago has a really good plan to get him out of it. Camilo murdered Fidel's children. I just can't see Yago going with that.
Love this show. So much happens in one episode.
I thought it was funny when Abel said to Ambar that murdering the guard was an accident. I don't think he understands the meaning of "accident." Sure, it wasn't premeditated on his part, but that kill shot was no accident!
Vivi, I love your theory on Sylvia hiding and nursing Ale. Before, Sylvia seemed like a nice lady though she was rightfully angry with Ale. But I was surprised how cold she was with Katia and Teo about Ale's disappearance after the poor girl cracked and confessed all to her. But if Sylvia is hiding Ale and thinks Teo and Katia could be Damian's goons, this adds up.
Yago has some nerve warning Teo not to hurt Katia because she's fragile and his friend. Hey buddy, what about how you're hurting Ambar? She's fragile too.
ITA Yago isn't betraying Fidel. These two have something up their sleeves.
Camilo made me laugh the way he was giving his daughter "sincere" half-truths and seemed surprised himself how successful he was with her.
Carvivlie, that shot of Alejandra's bloodied chest with Dam and his gun standing over her body ought to be conclusive evidence of her death. However, just like you, I hope against hope that courageous, feisty and reckless Ale is still alive. I'm also hoping that Yago's betrayal is not what it appears to be. My guess is that it's a risky ploy to present Camilo to Fidel on a silver platter, because really, as you said, there seems to be nothing to gain for Yago from pairing up with Camilo.
Vivi, I love watching this show with you because you always seem to link up details that go right over my head and come up with intriguing conclusions! I love your theory about Silvia discovering Alejandra and nursing her back to health. I noticed the medicine bottles but I figured they were Silvia's. However, your theory explains the meds and the car accident better. Since Ale fessed up to the scam, Silvia follows her around, that's why she accidentally ran over Dam, she finds Ale agonizing and rescues her. Perfect!
As for Abel calling his shooting the guard an accident, maybe I should go back and rewatch the scene and the security camera footage more carefully. Lucio appears to grab Abel's gun just before it fires. I'm sorry but I do have a soft spot for Abel. :(
Steve, your guess for Abel's end is interesting. I tend to lean towards suicide. I feel his earlier suicide attempt is ominous of his punishment.
Cathyx, sorry Hulu is being a pest to you too. I look forward to reading your impressions of the episode once you have the opportunity to see it.
Niecie, I totally agree that Yago doesn't practice what he preaches, and not just with regards to Ámbar, but also when it comes to Katia herself. He exposed Katia to the danger of falling off the wagon many times by assigning her tasks that require her being around alcohol.
Something feels off about Yago's supposed betrayal. Still, I have the impression it's a one-sided ruse on Yago's part because Fidel looked genuinely surprised and angry to me. Or maybe he is that good an actor!
I have a confession to make about Camilo: He scares the bejeezus out of me. The goofier he seems, the scarier he looks to me. I've never seen the actor before but he is wonderful for the role. He seems like a sadistic psycho to me.
Have an excellent day, everyone! Catch you later! :)
I'm still not over Alejandra's death. Partial to stories not built on amor this one came at me sideways with Bruno and Alejandra. I mourn the love story that wasn't.
When does Sara turn on Ambar? She's not giving the stinkeye for nothing.
Even if Camilo was telling half truths he was correct when he told Yago that Fidel is a sinking ship. Yago was stupid to follow into this carnage between two mafiosos. Who's to say Fidel won't kill Yago after his revenge is done and has been fooling us this whole time? The best way to control someone is by befriending the victim. It's the most easy way of manipulation.
Damian faking his concern about Sara and Matias made me laugh. But even if Damian is a master manipulator he still got owned by Tomas. The rat is still at the bottom of the food chain even after all the events he indirectly caused.
It kind of baffles me that there is an abudance of good guys in this show, Sure Teo , Selma &Katia have their good qualities but they are still causing irrepearable damage to innocent people. We are in need of Detective Ayala..
I'm sorry for not commenting on every episode but life and tech issues have a way to get in the way from time to time.
I think Alejandra is definitely dead; it's just a question of who will find out first. As for Camilo my gut is telling me he is so psycho that he will try to lure Fidel into killing Julia and telling him in the moment that he killed his own missing daughter. If that's the case, I'm hoping that Yago can stop that if only for Serena's sake.
As for Damian, he will burn in hell.
It's almost getting to the point where you wonder who the heck will be left standing at the end of this. Hopefully Matias...but who else?
I honestly felt almost panicked with Ambar wanting to go through with this major surgery. Psycho sis who always wants her way, no matter what she laments, well, I wouldn't trust her now as far as I could throw her. And the fact Sara spilled the beans to Ambar really has put a target on her.
If Yago is so concerned his revenge is going to hurt the people he cares about, then maybe put the skids to it. Leave the country, give it up. Take Ambar, his folks, Bruno and Matias on a nice long trip somewhere remote. Tell Teo and Katia to get lost as well and let the rest of them duke it out. Not clear what he's looking to gain anymore, especially in this Fidel/Camillo feud. He has to know he's being played at this point.
Daisynjay
It would be nice to see Damian get the same treatment Camillo's other goons got.
I know Ale's most likely dead but this show is so dark that I need a glimmer of happiness from somewhere. Her and Bruno are it as I don't see happiness for anyone else, not even Melina and Jonas.
Tofie, as an Alejandra fan, I too can't accept her untimely demise and certainly not at the hands of that cockroach. Hopefully, Vivi's suppositions turn out to be true and Alejandra is regaining strength in a secret location.
"When does Sara turn on Ambar? She's not giving the stinkeye for nothing." I personally feel it's already happening, in a passive-aggressive. Other than the obvious (boinking Ámbar's boyfriend), I believe spilling the beans about the true nature of everyone Ámbar knows/loves/trusts in such a blunt and hurtful manner was Sara's way of bursting Ámbar's bubble of innocence, which she so resents her for. She wants her little sister to be tormented and she wants her to bear the brunt of Sara's guilt, hence the "I did it all for you!" Sara may have done horrible things out of love for her sister but she has grown to begrudge her and maybe even dislike her for it.
Countx, to be honest, I fail to see how Camilo considers Fidel a sinking ship when he is constantly looking over his shoulders for him. Maybe he used this as a metaphor to warn Yago against sinking with Fidel, i.e. getting stupidly killed purely for being Fidel's associate. A couple of episodes ago, Camilo instructed Tomás to eliminate Yago is he confirms his links to Fidel. Maybe Yago sensed that if he refused Camilo's "offer" of partnership, he would be killed on the spot? I agree with you that this is all very puzzling and nothing seems what it is. Indeed, Det. Ayala would be of great help to untangle all this! Nevertheless, my money is on Fidel. Anyone who kills wee kids for losing a woman is off-the-charts psycho and deserves the worst punishment conceivable. I hope Fidel crushes Camilo.
UA, your speculation gave me goosebumps: "As for Camilo my gut is telling me he is so psycho that he will try to lure Fidel into killing Julia and telling him in the moment that he killed his own missing daughter." I believe Camilo capable of this and then some but I hope it doesn't come to it! As I mentioned before, Camilo is by far the person that scares me the most in this show, especially when I hear his slight lisp and when he tries to be affable or funny. Brrrr!
Daisynjay, glad we didn't lose you to the late hour. "the fact Sara spilled the beans to Ambar really has put a target on her." That's what I think too. However angle you choose to consider why Sara revealed the truth to her little sister, you can't come up with a kind and sisterly motive. It was done purely to inflict pain and put Ámbar in harm's way.
As for Yago's revenge, there are many times where it seems pointless and over-the-top but what other alternative does he have? Yes living well is the best revenge but how would one feel if they went through what Omar had to endure? I ask myself the question sometimes: If someone destroyed my life like they did Omar's without so much as blinking, would I just let it go? This is what makes this story so engrossing. Now that Mati is revealed to be Omar's son, the story gets even more complicated. Is there anyway for the kid not to get hurt considering he is at the heart of this great deceit?
As regards the Camilo/Fidel feud, Yago has nothing to gain except assisting the man who assisted him put his own revenge plan in motion. Fidel saved Omar's life, helped him create the Yago persona and gave him the tools to punish those who did him wrong. That's why Yago feels compelled to help his mentor.
Yago's revenge plot against Lucio, Sara, & Abel: Likely resulted in numerous death as we've already seen & by the time this show is over, we may have only Teo, Katia & Julia (if all 3 of them are living by then) to be the last ones surviving.
Matias will turn into Lucio 2.0 watch when he gets older.
"If the empress of lies and deceit is majorly impactada by this major reveal, she doesn’t show it at all." She should not have been impactada, because she saw his crumpled-up paternity test result when it fell out of a wastebasket in a flashback a few weeks ago. It might have been polite of her to pretend to be surprised, however.
I do like the theory that Silvia has been looking out for Alejandra. Maybe she got to Ale after Abel, but before Damian, and painted her up with some fake blood to play dead. Argh, I realize how farfetched that sounds, and there are a lot of holes in my theory, but I'm clinging to hope with both hands.
Too many indicators point to an unorthodox ending for this unorthodox "TN". There'll be much pain and punishment to go around, that's for sure. I do however hope that sweet little Mati gets a happier ending than the grown-ups who are so adamant on wrecking his life. Oh well, it is too premature to be speculating about endings; we are barely a couple of episodes shy of reaching the half-way mark.
Also, thanks for reminding me that Sara had in fact seen the crumpled-up paternity test that Lucio threw out. Still, she should've been impactada that Lucio said it out loud after so many years. Oh well. This is no ordinary woman we're talking about. This is Sara Madrigal.
I'm surprised that in the years Fidel was in jail, Camilo didn't try to woo Selma back to him. Perhaps he did, and we just haven't seen the flashbacks yet.
I think it would be difficult for Camilo to woo back a woman whose kid he abducted and/or killed. I'm more surprised he didn't get Fidel whacked when he was in jail.
I don't see a happy ending for Yago. He has proven to be an arrogant a-hole .He is not far from becoming a true villian. Yago gave up his life for revenge long ago. He has lost the liberty to stop the trainwreck. I actually feel more bad about Abel than Yago. I want Abel&Ambar together.
What's interesting is that Camilo has never tried to kill Selma. I would think it would have been easier with Fidel in jail. We know she is not-so-secretly singing in that bar, easy to get to.
I'm super excited to see how last night's episode worked out.
I don't think that Ale is dead, for one main reason, her body was left on a public sidewalk. If she were really dead, the morgue would have her body. She wouldn't be missing. I love your theory Vivi, I hope it's true.
I must believe that this trap with Fidel is planned. He purposely told Selma to not worry, even though meeting Yago outside the safe place was unusual, he was going to do it anyway. Yago wouldn't just fall for Camilo's story to just get himself ahead, Yago and Omar are not like that.
Lucio 2.0 was NOT a happy, well adjusted kid. He was named after Lucio Sr., who was apparently a piece of crap and his mom named him "Lucio" to remind herself that Lucio 1.0 was a piece of crap. Mom dumped Lucio off on his grandmother, who also didn't want him, while she went off and formed another family*.
Lucio was envious of what Omar had his entire life. Matias already has a loving family and material comforts. There's really no reason for Matias to become Lucio 3.0.
He COULD end up becoming Yago 2.0, out for revenge, though.
I know it had to hurt Yomar to see JonASS going to the jail to visit Lucio & believing in Lucio's innocence when he never did that for Omar. If I were Melina, I'd have a problem with that.
*I wonder if Lucio's little brother Josue will show up at any point in this story?
Anon207, I agree with your assessment of Mati and I'm also intrigued about Lucio's little brother. They made such a point of presenting his name to us. Hopefully, he'll intervene in the plot somewhere along the line.
Steve and Carvivlie, I agree that Selma is the igniting point of this rivalry. Fidel and Camilo are both douchebags but Selma played them against each other. It's never cool to play with people's feelings and/or string them along. Too bad the jilted guy happens to be a raging psycho. Still, I feel there are many elements missing in their story.
Good evening all! Catch you tomorrow! :)
