Yago, Capitulo 33: Who’s Your Daddy? Who’s Your Mama?

Ambar stares at Yago in shocked silence after he tells her his true identity (Omar Guerrero) and his true intentions (revenge). He says he knows it’s hard for her to believe, as he reaches out to touch her. She jumps up and away from him as if his touch burns, and says, yeah, it’s hard to believe. She tells him that he and Sara are made for each other (son tal para cual); they’re both liars and traitors. Abel comes in and interrupts, asking if Ambar is ok, but she flinches from his touch too and continues to stare daggers at Yago. Yago says he’s sorry for everything and makes a quick exit.

Bruno is busy writing a blog page in honor of Alejandra, when Matias comes into his room asking if he’s busy. “For you, never. Come in.” In response to his question, Bruno explains that he’s writing a report on justice for school. Matias very cynically says justice doesn’t exist. Bruno explains, “I’m not speaking about the justice they teach you in school, but that which is inside you, that pushes us to make change.” Matias says he gets it.

In voiceover, we hear what Bruno is writing on the blog: “Alejandra always searched for justice. Now it’s our turn to find justice for her. Her death can’t be just another of all the ones that go unpunished (impune) in this country. I won’t permit it to. I say this as her colleague, her best friend, and her partner/boyfriend (pareja). My love for her will be my greatest motivator.”

In Fidel’s lair, Katia is busy seeking justice for Alejandra. She’s looking over the crime scene photos from Alejandra’s body dump site. Yago arrives and she excitedly tells him how her contact sent her the forensics report from the crime scene, and the best news is that the ballistics report shows that the gun used to kill Ale matches the caliber of the gun she took from Damian when she confronted him. Bingo! They just need to return the gun to Damian’s room, so that the police can serendipitously find it and send the bastard to jail. Yago is not as happy as he should be with this development, and Katia picks up on it. He admits to Katia that he told Ambar the truth because he doesn’t want to hurt any more innocents. Katia points out that he’s putting the whole operation at risk, but Yago seems convinced he can manage Ambar. He does admit that Ambar did not take it well. He asks Katia not to tell anyone else what he did.

In a below street-level, hip, Jewish bar/café, Fidel and Selma get the staff and planted patrons ready for the operation the next day—Julia’s date with Selma. Fidel tells them to be ready for the worst. Selma tells them to be discreet and keep calm. Julia may be the daughter of their enemy, but she’s not their enemy. Those who are armed should watch her attentively, but don’t jump the gun. Fidel tells them that no one shoots unless he orders it.

In Fortress Michel, Camilo is trying unsuccessfully to convince Julia that she doesn’t ever need to go out, when she has everything she could ever desire there. She tells him she has a right to have a life outside of these four walls. He creepily tells her that he wants to keep her encased in glass, and wonders what could possibly interest her in the outside world. She throws out the name of the guy from the record store, Rodrigo. Camilo doesn’t approve of that hippy. He thinks she deserves way better. (Well, she’s not going to meet that perfect man trapped in the house with your army of goons, Camilo!) Julia puts her foot down. She’s going out to eat with him tomorrow. Camilo gives in. Dinner is fine, but he doesn’t want her committing to this guy, and sure as heck doesn’t want her to end up pregnant (salir con tu Domingo siete)! Julia teases that it might be too late, and calls him grandpa. She then texts Rod and asks him for a favor.

Yago goes home to Sara and tells her he spoke to Ambar and it didn’t go well. He tells Sara that now is not the time for her to speak to Ambar.

Ambar is sitting on Abel’s stairs in her robe, still silently trying to process what Yago told her. Abel wonders if she’s still giving him the silent treatment (la ley de hielo), and begs her to speak to him. She asks him what he thinks of Yago, disregarding what he did to her. Abel admits that he’s never trusted Yago. His millionaire with a mysterious past act never rang true with him. He believes he’s hiding something. Ever since he came, things have started to go wrong, as if Yago is a jinx/bad omen (ave de mal agüero). 

The next morning, Yago is serving up a delicious breakfast for Sara and bragging that the secret to a good breakfast is a night of great sex. Sara heartily agrees. Sara tells him that Lucio will never sign the divorce papers, especially since he now knows about them. Yago says he’ll have to eventually understand and sign. Yago admits what he’s really worried about is Matias, and that he’ll never be able to see him as anything except the boyfriend of his aunt. Sara says he’ll accept him with time as he gets to know Yago. Yago sadly says, “I don’t think he’ll ever see me as he does Lucio. As his father.” Sara is moved. She tells Yago that since they are starting a life together, she doesn’t want secrets between them. She admits that Matias isn’t Lucio’s. Lucio knew since Matias was a baby, but he never told her until recently and always treated Matias as if he were really his. Yago tries to hide his surprise at hearing this. She continues that Matias doesn’t know, and tells him that the real father is Omar, the son of Melina and Jonas. She admits she’s never had the guts to tell them. Yago suggests that she tell them, since they are his grandparents. They’re interrupted by the doorbell. Sara answers. It’s Ambar, and she wants to see Yago, NOT Sara. The two leave to speak privately away from Sara. Sara is not pleased.

Abel tells Teo to step up pumping Katia for info on Yago. He’s annoyed Ambar is now taking her meds again after a visit from Yago.

Katia lifts Camilo’s prints off the shot glass Yago filched from his house, in order to use them to get into Camilo’s secret chamber. Fidel comes in and notes that now they are ready to put the other part of the plan into action. He wonders where Yago is…

He’s taking a stroll through the cemetery with Ambar, who thinks this all sounds like a science fiction novel. He has her feel the scars under his beard. “You did all of this just to get revenge?...Are you really Omar?” They stop at “Omar’s” grave and she wonders who’s really buried there. He tells her it’s someone who died in the prison. He wonders what made her change her mind. She tells him it was something Abel said, about always feeling Yago was an imposter. She asks if their whole courtship was a lie. Was their first meeting in the street (when her suitcase fell open) also planned by him? Was none of it true? Yago tells her that he cares for her (te quiero). “But you’re sleeping with my sister to get revenge.” “Let’s just say, you were collateral damage (daño colateral) in all of this.” Ambar is not impressed. “Just tell me that you prefer my sister and be done with it!” Yago wants to take her to someone who will help her believe his story.

Lucio is strolling down the prison corridor (I love Flavio Medina’s George Jefferson walk), when he’s stopped by a bearded dude who wants to know why Lucio won’t let his wife be free, happy and single. He’s got the divorce papers in hand, and demands that Lucio sign them or else he might have an “accident” and leave his wife a widow and his child an orphan. Lucio refuses and asks if Fidel sent him. The only answer he gets is a severe beating.

At home, Sara is blowing up Yago’s phone trying to figure out where he and Ambar are. Then she gets a call. “What do you mean he got hit?!”

She gets to Matias’ school just as he and Jonas are leaving. Matias, sporting a bruised lip, is angry that Jonas called Sara. Matias explains that he fought the kids at school for making fun of his dad, making him braver that Sara! “I’m not going to let anyone speak badly about my dad! I will bring him justice!” He refuses to let Sara take him to the doctor—Jonas will take him.

Meanwhile, Yago and Ambar are visiting Melina. He tells Melina that Ambar knows the truth. “She knows I’m your son, Omar.” Melina worries about when this plan will end and the traitors be brought to justice. Yago assures her it will end soon and says that Ambar will keep their secret.

Ambar: Yes. Melina, I too want justice for Omar. Although I’m not in agreement with his way of doing things.
Melina: I supposed you must mean Lucio. Or, is there something more that you haven’t told me? Have you hurt someone else?

Ambar looks at Yago knowingly, then assures Melina that he hasn’t hurt anyone else. Jonas and Matias arrive and Mati greets Ambar happily. She notices his bruised lip and they all get concerned.

At Revenge Central, Katia (who seems to be the only one working hard today), is putting the final touches on her disguise as a chamber maid. Teo arrives and is muy turned on, but Katia is all work, no play. She gives him his headpiece to communicate with her on their upcoming mission.

At Fortress Michel, poor Rodrigo is getting the third degree from Camilo as he waits to Julia. Camilo cuts between Julia and Rod to tell her how beautiful she looks and that she looks just like her mother. He almost loses it when Julia gives Rod a quick peck on the lips before they leave on their date.

Yago finds Mati forlornly kicking his soccer ball outside and sits him down for a man to man talk. He tells Mati he has to choose his battles well. When he feels that his anger is taking over and not letting him think, he should take a deep breath, analyze the situation, and make a decision with a cool head. (Maybe Yago should take his own advice.) Looking about five years younger than his age, Matias begs Yago to help get his dad out of jail. He promises he’ll pay Yago back when he gets older. “I need him. I need him more than anything in the world.” (Aww. This is so sad and heartbreaking.) Yago takes his hands in his but doesn’t know what to say.

Mauricio, Lucio’s lawyer, delivers the blood splattered, signed divorce papers to Sara. She accepts them with a cold smirk. Mauricio assures her that he’ll get Lucio out of jail, and when he does, they will fight her for custody of Matias!

In the bathroom of a restaurant, Rod waits nervously outside as Julia and a girlfriend implement their plan for Julia to give her guards the slip. Julia gives her friend her clothes and puts a red wig on her, then she slips out the back as the other two go into the restaurant.

Yago finally arrives at Revenge Central, and Fidel scolds him that he needs to be totally focused on the mission that day. He gives Yago the gloves Katia created with Camilo’s prints.

In Damian’s hotel, Katia goes into his room disguised as the maid to deposit his gun under the mattress. Teo keeps watch in the hallway, but as she’s about to exit, he’s no longer being responsive through the earpiece. She goes into the hallway to find that Damian has gotten the jump on Teo, has knocked him to the ground and is trying to rip off his ski mask. Teo spots Katia and yells to her to run. Damian pistol whips Teo and runs after Katia, who runs up to the roof while pulling her gun out of her thigh holster. Damian thinks he has her cornered on the roof and is starting his villain pre-murder monologue, when he gets whacked from behind by Teo and falls unconscious.  


Julia arrives for her date with Selma. She assures Selma that she isn’t a reporter or anything like that. She’s just curious, and asks if she is indeed the mysterious singer Selma, who disappeared so many years ago. She tells Selma of the various rumors, among that then she married an oil magnate and lives in Dubai. Selma orders food for them and says she hopes Julia likes Jewish food. Julia says she LOVES Jewish food, matzah/matzo balls being her favorite.



Sara visits the Guerrero family when she knows Mati is at his riding class. They are less than thrilled about her visit, especially Jonas, who barely lets her cross the threshold or speak. Sara acknowledges how they feel about her, but asks them to just listen to her, for the love they have for Matias. Jonas doesn’t want to hear it. But Bruno and Melina are curious to know what she has to say.
Sara: I know that you love Lucio, but I can assure you that you don’t even know Lucio half as well as I do.
Jonas: What are you trying to say? That Lucio is where he deserves to be?
Sara: That’s right.

Melina tries hard not to make too obvious of an “I told you so” face, while Jonas sputters in disbelief at what Sara is saying. Sara continues.
Sara: I started the divorce proceedings, but I’m worried that Lucio will fight for custody of Matias if he’s freed.
Mel: He would be within his rights, wouldn’t he?
Sara: Look, I know I can’t change the past, but now I want to do things differently. And there’s no way for me to do that unless I’m completely honest with you all.

Jonas wants to know why they should believe anything she says now! “Because there is something that unites you all and me, Jonas.  Matias isn’t Lucio’s child. He’s Omar’s child.”

Fidel watches Julia and Selma on their date on his tablet, while across town Camilo spies on the woman he thinks is Julia on her date with Rod. He’s satisfied with what he sees, and gives four of his goons instructions for watching Julia and her date as he gets ready to go home. Fidel calls him to inform him that Selma and Julia are having a grand time chatting. Camilo laughs it off. He’s looking at Julia (her back) right now. Oh really? Fidel tells him he’s watching Selma and Julia enjoying a meal in his favorite kosher restaurant, and he’s just about to pay Camilo back in the same way (con la misma moneda) he did to Fidel all those years ago. Julia just might die today. Camilo hops out of the car and rushes into the restaurant with his goons. He punches Rod and tosses him aside, then drags the Julia impersonator up and shoves her against the wall by the throat as Rod tries to shield her with his body.  Camilo grabs a knife and points it at the poor girl’s eye, threatening to kill her if she ever pulls a stunt like this with his daughter again! Then he marches out of the panic-filled restaurant with his goons following. He calls a code red—all his security need to come meet him right now! This leaves Yago, who had dropped by Fortress Michel to see Camilo, free to roam and use the special gloves to get into Camilo’s secret chamber.

At Damian’s hotel, the SWAT team is pounding on his door and then break in to find Damian bound and gagged. They also find the gun they were alerted they would find, and tell him they have an order to arrest him for murder. They drag him away as he yells for them to let him go.

In the Jewish restaurant, Julia is telling Selma about her strange fascination with all things Jewish—including food and movies about the holocaust. Despite her strict Catholic upbringing, this has been her obsession. So much so that she used to dream about a man that she sensed was Jewish, and she even gave her first pet dog a Jewish name, Uri. Selma’s face freezes as she remembers one of Fidel’s murdered sons, Uri. She searches Julia’s face and seems to be realizing something. Just then, Fidel spots Camilo and his men pulling up and sounds the alarm. Selma rushes out the back, just as Camilo and his men barge through the front entrance. Out back, Selma tries to catch her breath as she remembers Julia’s words, and then remembers when her baby girl Fabiana was snatched from her arms by Camilo’s men. She holds her hand to her heart and begins to weep.

Yago enters Camilo’s secret lair, which looks more like an old manor house library, and begins to search for Camilo’s secrets. He doesn’t have much luck, until he finds a file as thick as a Harry Potter book in a bottom desk drawer. It’s the clinical case file (expediente clinico) of Julia Michel!

Comments:
Thank you Vivi!

Selma finally realizing that Julia could be her kid: Where's Maury Povich when you need him ?


 

Wow Vivi. Sounds like an exciting episode. It's still not up on my Roku Hulu, but waiting impatiently! Thanks for the highlights.
 

Judy B: Let's hope Yago doesn't get busted by Camilo's thugs since he's still inside the hidden chamber!
 

Thanks Vivi! I watched this morning before work too because I wanted to see Ambar's reaction to the news.

I thought Fidel had Lucio beat up again to make him sign the papers. Sara didn't seem to cringe when they were delivered signed with drops of blood. Boy Lucio is getting his, for the both of them. When is Sara going to get hers though?

Matias' plea to Yago to help his father may change the direction of things. That poor boy. Sara admitting to Yago that Matias was Omar's seemed to affect him more than it should since he knows the truth. Did Sara admit that Lucio knew Matias wasn't his? Will Yago see that as Lucio doing something right (treating Mati as his own) or that Lucio again coveted something that was Omar's and took it?

Sara telling J&M&B the truth about Mati was only to help herself. She truly cares nothing for these people and what she has put them through. Shoot, between the two, Mati maybe better off with Lucio.

How long will Ambar carry the secret? She hasn't been privy to all of the "collateral damage"? Can she really sit by and watch Yago take down Abel and Sara? I can't see it.

I thought Teo was a goner. I'm surprised Damian didn't shoot him. Lucky for Katia. How will Damian get out of this one? Hope he goes to jail and gets beat up like Lucio.

Selma needs to get a lock of hair from Julia quick! But I don't think the girl will be let out of the house now for years.
 

Carvivlie- Yes, what shook Yago was learning that Lucio always knew, and yet was always the doting father. He wasn't expecting that.
 

WOW. I can't wait to read the full recap. And see the episode.

I love how this plot doesn't fart around or hold anything back. Things happen BEFORE you expect them to.
 

Steve, I was thinking that Yago might get busted, but later, from hidden security cameras.
 

thanks vivi.
mmmmm. i dont know. i thought some scenes from the epi was incomplete. they should have developed the scenes between ambar and yago a little further. the same with matias.
yago must have a secret agenda for making sara tell melina bruno and jonas. maybe at the end, his punishement for her will be to leave her all alone. no ambar, no matias, no lucio, no damian, no MONEY. unless he falls for her once again. and then i hope he goes back to jail and someone beat him thoroughly.
i wonder what he will do to abel. still have not figured that one out.
i also think the story of Fidel and Camilo is way underdeveloped.
 

Thanks Vivi. I wonder if that fact coupled with Mati's request will get Lucio out of jail.
 

Carvivile: I still see Abel & Sara getting their anvils in the end.

Matias: Lucio getting out of prison is going to make things WORSE for the good guys.

Damian's not done yet. Don't count out the Old Con Artist.
 

Hulu still doesn't have 33 up yet.
 

We're just halfway through, so there's plenty of time for more backstory (although I feel like we now know the story of Fidel-Selma-Camilo) and revelations.

The final decisions Yago, his family, his companions, and his enemies make I think will depend on how they feel about Matias. For over a decade now Melina, Jonas and Bruno have tolerated Sara, despite hating her with the heat of a thousand suns, for Matias' sake (and Lucio). At some point all of these adults are going to have to decide how far they are willing to go in their revenge and counter revenge if Mati's emotional (and physical) well-being is in jeopardy. Will some of them declare a truce? Will some of them bow out gracefully/turn themselves in and accept their punishments? How much truth will they tell Mati? How much sordid truth is appropriate for a child his age?
 

Still nothing on Hulu. They must want to be more than a day behind.
 

Recap is 3/4 done and up! Will finish a bit later.
 

I don't think Yago really betrayed Fidel, is that correct?


 

Great work, Vivi.

I'm still reeling from Yago telling Ambar the truth. I don't think that was wise. And how will she feel about Yago's revenge on Damian when that happens? She has issues with him but that doesn't necessarily make it easier to accept his Karmageddon when that finally happens.
 

It's all up now!

Variopinta- Are you asking about when Yago led Fidel into a trap with Camilo and his men a few episodes ago? No, that wasn't a betrayal. It was a plan between Yago and Fidel. Everything Yago is doing with Camilo, including the break-in to the secret room this episode, is part of Fidel's plan.
 

Carvivlie- Indeed, Sara telling the Guerreros the truth about Matias was a calculated move on her part to get them on her side if a custody battle ensues between her and Lucio.
 

Urban- I don't think Yago will want "revenge" on Damian. He would just want him to go to jail and be done with it, like they are trying to do now with him. He didn't betray Omar like Sara, Abel and Lucio did. Yago's not getting revenge because they committed a crime. He's getting revenge because they betrayed him. I don't think Ambar would have any problem with Damian being locked up for his crimes, and no one else will miss the old bugger either. This is not a situation like Lucio and Sara, where sending them to jail and destroying them financially and emotionally will affect a child- Matias.
 

Vivi: When Matias is older, he'll be Lucio 2.0
 

Appreciate this Vivi.

"he and Sara are made for each other"

Yago didn't do this for revenge but to be with Sara again. He threw in with a gangster to get out of prison, had a total makeover to look pretty and working for Fidel pays really well. He should quit while ahead, he is sleeping and living with Sara and she acknowledges Matis is his son. The background noise between Fidel and Camilo is Yago's day job. Lorenzo and Alejandra were killed during the courtship so put a knife in Lucio, Ambar, Able and Damien and be done with it. Oh wait, he'll need to kill Bruno too.
 

Off to Florida for the rest of the week in a couple of hours, so I will miss the rest of the episodes this week. Looking forward to reading the recaps and comments.
 

Thanks so much Vivi...still haven't seen this (darn Hulu anyway!) but thoroughly enjoyed the recap and the vocabulary. "salir con tu domingo siete" has always intrigued me. I know what it means but Lordy, how did that expression ever come to be!? So strange. Sort of like "me cae gordo". I get it, but it's an odd juxtaposition of words.

"[Amber] She jumps up and away from him as if his touch burns..." Nice image there.
And it recalls the fire in the prison when Omar escaped and another inmate was sacrificed by immolation so he could do so.

Favorite phrase though..."a file as thick as a Harry Potter book". Love it, and love the way you write. You have a strong voice.

Enjoy your time in Florida. It's hot and muggy here in Ohio (who knew a high dew point could be so miserable?)...hopefully you're by the ocean where there are some breezes.
 

Enjoy your trip Vivi! I'm going to Florida in a couple of weeks. I don't do well with hot weather.

JudyB and CathyX, on TWC there is a station called "Lo Mejor on Demand". It's basically all of the spanish speaking stations and their shows. I use to catch up on tn's that way. I don't know how long it takes for the previous episode to go up though. The station is free with my cable package. If you don't get UniMas then maybe you don't get this either but worth a quick check.

Bruno's voiceover made me tear up.


 

Once Yago knows that Damian planned the robbery I think Yago will want revenge, more than him going to prison for Ale's death, which I don't think will happen. He's too slippery.
 

Vivi, have a great trip and thanks for this recap before you take off!

I haven't been able to see this yet either, but your imagery is so amazing, I almost can see this totally playing out in my head. Fantastic!

This is getting to a point where who knows where everyone lands. There should still be some collateral damage, no matter what Yago thinks, and I worry about His parents the most.

I still hold to wanting Ambar to take Matias and go away. Have my literary reasons, but I can only see her as the true logical person to give that child the love he deserves and keep him from going off the rails.

Not sure I am as secure with Bruno. What is he planning?

Just reading your description of Sara's smirk makes me want to get something abrasive and wipe that smirk from her face. Good lord, she is heartless. Honestly, if Ambar gets in her way, I do worry for that poor woman.


 

Daisynjay: Sara needs to DIE! I have hated that wretch from the beginning of the TN.
 

Thanks Carvivlie...don't know either if my cable package has this, but appreciate the tip.
Some have condemned Amber for her sulking and tantrums...believe me I was sulking and throwing an inner tantrum last night when the latest Yago episode didn't show up!!!!!
 

Yeah, it was after 11 last night and still no #33, so I haven't seen this yet. Very frustrating. I'm not going to be able to recap if this happens every day. So far, knock on wood, it seems to be only a Monday/Tuesday thing.

I haven't read the recap yet either, but wanted to wish Vivi a good trip in case she hasn't already left! Safe travels!
 

Vivi, I love your recaps. I can't wait to see the "George Jefferson walk." I loved "villain pre-murder monologue," too and glad Damian's monologue got cut short! That's what he gets for going along with the cliche!

I'm a little surprised that Camilo didn't realize he was watching the wrong woman, but maybe it will be more plausible when I see it.

And I'm stunned that Selma and Fidel never before suspected that Julia might be Fabiana. Beyond stunned, actually. Camilo suddenly had a daughter who's exactly the same age? That didn't strike them as strange? (Unless Camilo already had a daughter named Julia, and something happened to her and they replaced her with Fabiana. What a horrible prospect.)
 

Hola amigos! I am in balmy FL! The first two days will be work meetings, and then I get to cut loose with my friends for multi-day Indian wedding festivities. Yay!

Julie- I'm looking forward to learning how Camilo pulled off this kidnapping without Fidel or Selma suspecting.

Can't believe Hulu waiting so long before putting the episode up. What is their problem? It can't be that hard.

Carvivlie- I was really touched by Bruno's voiceover too. I'm still so heartbroken about Ale. :(
 

Can anyone confirm if this is on Hulu yet? What about last night's episode?
 

On my HuluPlus page, episode 32 is showing now.
 

Camilo isn't going down that easy!
 

Thank you for this wonderful read, Vivi! Much appreciated, indeed! :)
 

Vivi, enjoy Florida! Safe travels, amiga! :)
 

Thanks, Daisy.
 

Thanks, Vivi. Fine recap. Have a great trip. Yay, Damian bound gagged caught.
