Caray, Caray!

Thank you, Nandicta!

So Ernesto confesses and Espe is too weak to kick him out. I believe she chose the right moment to do it, since he already showed his commitment to their extended family and it's not like anyone will forbid him from seeing a very dying Esperanza.

Ricardo and Cristina are actually perfect for each other - perfect looks, perfect kids, perfect little blended family - red herring, indeed, I wonder what will happen to crush their little joy ride.

Felix is annoying me - didn't he know when he got married that he was committing to a 70 something year-old woman? Even if they were to adopt, who would give Margarita a child and how will she wake up for all those midnight feeds or diaper changes when she's almost in need of diapers, too?

Salma is in preterm labor? Have we even seen an actual belly? She can't be more than 5 months along, right? Poor baby, she didn't stand a chance.
 

Thanks for an excellent recap of a tedious episode, Nandicta. Most of it was too dire and dreary.

One okay part, I have to confess, was the amusement park marriage proposal. Another was the 14 minute hotdog cart date.

Adriana, perfectly put: ". . . what will happen to crush their little joy ride." You just know that is coming. Too early for such joy to last.

Esperanza looked better after crying for a while: the tears washed off some of the eyeshadow raccoon look.

Like Ernesto had to wait until Esperanza was so weak and feeling so poorly to inform her and unburden himself of his authorship of his "La Sombra--I wanna look like a hero" escapade they all had to suffer through.
 

Thanks for the recap.
This one I missed completely because I was playing Ratchet & Clank and I totally forgot.

Seems like I didn't miss much, I will catch up today, because tomorrow is my turn.

See you amigowz!
 

Nandicta: Your recap is awesome :)

Jarifa: Ernesto confessed to Espi wasn't surprising.

Adriana: I'm hoping nothing horrible happens to the US Marine Corps veteran & Goldie Locks!


 

Nandicta, real and raw. You conveyed the emotions to a "t". Excellent recap.

I read the recap twice. It sounds very, very grim. And despite how weak and frail Esperanza is physically what really scared me was "After returning home, they decide to have a church wedding, since their previous marriages to their loony ex-spouses were civil unions". In TN land, even a fatal diagnosis does not seem as permanent as marriage in the Catholic Church, which is meant to signify forever. Couples easily divorce after civil ceremonies but seldom after church ones (again in TN looney land).

I think Ernesto had to tell the truth. As terrible as the timing was, it needed to occur. And of course everyone is bereft but there might still be time for forgiveness. There is no family in this that is not fractured.

I'm sorry but I'm glad I missed the little engagement adventure. Could their smiles be any cheesier in the photo (good one Nandicta) :) I agree with both of you Adriana and Jarifa that I'm not sure their happiness is ensured. It's just the beginning of a roller coaster ride...

I am afraid for Esperanza. I don't want her to die. I cannot say the same for Osorio who has butchered this into something distasteful. I'm even more upset that I am totally hooked and want to see what happens to Espe.

Looking forward to your recap tomorrow Pablo.

Great comments Adriana and Jarifa...

Thank you Nandicta!

I've been on vacation for a few weeks and ignoring the nightmares happening in Sueñolandia, but I'm back just in time to say that I HATE Osorio-style kre8tive kiddie karnival marriage proposals. If I were inclined to marry a guy before, I don't think I would be after such an elaborately doofy production.

Nandicta, how on earth did you manage to do all these recaps before your vacation? And they're so good! I love your pictures and captions.

I do not love how terribly Esperanza is being treated. Can't she at least have one solid supportive good longtime friend without an agenda or a shady past?

How can Ricardo afford fancy psycho treatment for Kracy as well as everything else now that he has only teacher pay? Wasn't he pretty broke when he and Espe were planning their wedding way back several weeks ago?
 

Nandicta, your recaping is quality stuff. This episode was kinda on the sad side. Im with you, why did orsorio do this to
The viewers, to ernesto, to ricardo & christiV & and then all these children of these couples? Now its gonna just mess up everything that was workin. Why didn't he have erny confess back then, like you said? I hope this woman don't give up, Cuz she has been through so much. And the bad choice she made to give up the love of her life was one of the worst and the other one was........I don't, having the confussion of ernesto capturing her heart and ours in the midst of horrible treacherous cirrcumtances.... what the hell orsorio, what the hell? I was watching him when he was sitting on the bed next to her and she said something about ricardo? I think, does anybody know? The camara was on his face &
Im thinkin that hes thinkin hes gonna loose her because of all the lying and other stuff. Who knows with this show. Ok
Its on gonna go.

Thanks Nandicta! :-)
 

For me some things are going (and some went) way past of the point of no return and undo them will make just a bigger mess. I just want to see how are they going to resolve all this entanglements. CVV and Ricardo are about to get married, Esperanza is about to die, Ernesto just confessed, how do you revert the consequences all this will bring on everyone?
 

Have all the characters die in a massive explosion at the school when the unsupervised students are cooking meth in the science lab, then have another mad scientist regenerate them from their DNA but with totally different personalities and no memories of their former lives and no cancer, and they have to try to adjust to their sudden existence, and Esperanza and Ricardo fall in love and live happily ever after and CVV goes to chef school and Erasmo is a successful architect who never falls in love with problematic women and earns a good salary?
 

Ok when did that third little girl come to be a part of the family? Are they adoptin her? I know she goes to the same school, did her parents abanden her? Whats the deal with her? Anybody know? I probablyy missed that episode. She seems to fit right on tho. But how did she get there?
 

The third little girl is Pámela. She is the daughter of a criminal type Isaac Reyes who has been a pain along with his juvenile delinquent of a son at Instituto Palacios. Nobody wants to discipline the son because Isaac is a major donor at the school and he could easily withdraw his contributions. Pâmela started out in the show as a brat. She has become less bratty as she has hung around more and more with Ricardo's kids. Isaac does not pay a lot of attention to Påmela so she has loved Ricardo paying attention to her and including her as one of his own.
