Tres Veces Ana #72 and #73 - It's My Party & I'll Cry Si Quiero
Color Guide:
*Rehash in Red
*Recall in Blue
*Reader Reactions in Green
Rehash: Marcelo is arguing with Evaristo about the contents of the security box. Marc wants to thank the secret squirrel that helped Alfredo. Santiago will just be a memory, and he'll go after everyone including Solebad. Ev threatens him if he does, but Marc is over this convo and boops Ev on the head, who is strategically placed in front of the bed so he can ballerina twirl before knocking out. Marc searches for the key, but an Ev seedling comes in. Marc ambushes him with orders to take him to his bromantic friend, Ramiro. Ramiro is tied up and gagged, just the way we like him. The grandthugs (gracias Ria!) are taunting him with a gun and waiting for Ev's orders. Llora sobs in her room.
Recap: AnaLu sits with Nerina to apologize for getting them both in trouble. Nerina tells a despondent AnaLu not to worry, she can come to her for any help anytime. She went to the hospital that morning but didn't get a chance to see Santi. She asked her if she thinks they'll have a party ready by tomorrow. Our Ana Luchador is thrilled hearing this, this means he's gotten better and she'll see him soon!

Tres Veces Ana - #70 and 71 - All roads lead to Evaristo!
Happy Monday and happy last week of two hour episodes (…we
think anyway)!! This was a very action-packed episode, so get ready!
We return to Santi’s hospital room, where he and Facundo are
arguing over what sort of terrible people Santi has made acquaintance with in
those dark,, dark days when Facundo didn’t know Santi was alive (you know, when
Santi was allowed to grow an unkempt beard and live like a hermit in a cave
that didn’t even look like it had running water. Oh wait, that was Facundo, not
Santi! But anyway, we are sure those places Facundo is referring to are much, much
worse and have roaches to boot.) Santi wouldn’t hear any of it. And by the by,
while they are on the topic, he needs to warn Facundo to leave his madrina
alone – he knows that he treated Rem very badly. The whole scene from Friday is
repeated, as is the one with Rem and Sole with their musings on life and the
mysterious and powerful force of protection love has.

Tres Veces Ana #68/69? : Face To Face With Destiny-Or Not
-- If you were like me, your heart was in your throat.--ed.
Parte 1 - DARING DESTINY
Whack a mole’s got nothing on this episodio of cat and mouse patrol. Just as all Hell is about to break loose inside the hospital lobby, Ramiro appears out of nowhere and catches Ana Lucia by the arm. He tells her she knows Santiago does not want her at the hospital. She insists nobody’s stopping her from seeing the man she loves. “--No doubt it was his father standing there making him say that just to keep me away.” Ram insists it isn’t like that (but oh, it is, isn’t it). “They can all come down and pitch a fit and it still won’t get me out of the way; I’ll still speak to Santiago.” Well, if she’s going, he won’t let her enter through the front door. He pulls her around out of view of the entrance and continues while Narina and Ana Laura continue their confused conversation in the front lobby.
Narina explains how she met Marcelo in the boarding house. Is Narina the owner? No, she clarifies, she’s the friend of the owner. (Nice touch, Narina.) Why, with all his money, would he rent a room there? Narina learns that they lost contact with Marcelo, A Llora’s BIL, three years ago and that all believe he did it purposely to make his wife and the family think he’d died so he could desert his wife and the rest of them. “All the people we love die or abandon this family: my two parents, my sister, Ana Lucia…--” “--y-y-y-your sister?” “--It was terribly cruel.” Now things are beginning to become clear to Narina. “--No, you don’t understand. The poor boy lost his memory after a horrible accident three years ago. He’s just now by chance coming face to face with his old life and memories.”

Labels: ana
Tres Veces Ana - # 64 and 65 - Triple hysteria and impactful reunions
(Some scenes below are consolidated)
Rehash of Rem finding out about Santi and Ana Le’s monologue
to her bed-bound husband on not expecting anything less of him than to murder
Daniel. She cheated, that is true, but he was neglecting her, working late, she
just wanted attention. And Marcelo cheated himself. Ana Le loves him and will
not divorce him. She also apparently generously forgives him and asks for the
same in return.
New episode:
Abue for some reason feels the need to explain herself to
Facundo, as she feels guilty for not finding him earlier. She promises she
tried, but his nephew didn’t know anything either (Abue, you tried once two
days ago. That hardly even qualifies to be an attempt.) She does tell him about
Jenny and Facundo is very surprised. He offers condolences to Mariano, who has
his “Ana Le has already shown me the light and I hate Jenny now” face on and so
he changes the subject. Abue departs and Mariano wants to make it clear to
Facundo that Marcelo is not on the list of his favorite people right now. He,
Mariano, needs to defend his niece. Facundo, though, says Marcelo will need all
their help as well. Mariano is skeptical.

Tres Veces Ana #62 and #63 - The Past Catches Up at Last
Rehash: Ana Let kisses Dani goodbye, and Evaristo is seen lurking towards Dani's room (possibly also to kiss him goodbye). Santi has a wet dream (and by wet, I mean his ritual baptism in doused gel) where Marc is there to finish Danito off. Fack-mundo decides to go for a night stroll.....into Dani's hospital room, mayhap?? Santi wakes abruptly to find that the gel was just a nightmare....oh and Dani's death too. He checks w/ Inaki who reassures him Dani is fine. Ghoulieta arrives to thank him once again, but he tells her to save it. Dr. Lorenzo comes in and& informs them that Dani kicked the bucket overnight. Ghoulieta makes a ghoulish face and howls at the moon. Inaki humorously crosses himself.

Tres Veces Ana # 60 and 61 - In which Ana Le settles many of her debts
(Some scene consolidation below, don’t be confused)
Skipping the rehash and going straight to the new material,
because far be it from me to deprive you all of the episode that might just
make you wish you could kick some of these characters in a shin. No finger
pointing though (Llora).
So we ended on Facundo confusing Ana Lu for Ana Leticia.
Before Santicelo could collect his split personality brain cells and think up an excuse, Ana Lu gave him a huge
break by assuming that Facundo had just mistaken Leticia with Lucia, since he
probably just heard it for the first time yesteday! So she corrected him and invited
him for coffee. Santi of course played along, and Facundo – quick thinking on
his feet (he must have had a lot of time to do crossword puzzles and Sudoku in
his cave) – did as well.
(Side note – what is happening to Ana Lu’s blouse there? Is
it borrowed from Ana Le?)

Tres Veces Ana #49/54: Who Killed G.R.? And Who The Heck Is Ana Leticia?
Parte 1~
While Mariano is suffering guilt pangs for having fooled around with Valentin Padilla’s exploitative ex, Facundo is getting the second biggest shock of his life in seeing that his dead and buried son is no longer dead and buried, but very much alive. Unfortunately, Santiago wants nothing to do with him or the past life he represents as Marcelo Salvaterra’s father. (And, what a debby-downer! A recluse ruminating in refuse. Santi can't help but wrinkle his nose in disgust.)
Facundo may be his father but he’s no father figure. SanMarco cannot remember the man and seeing him does not arouse feeling number one in him. He knows enough about Marcelo Salvaterra to know he doesn’t want to be that man or have any part of his life as his any longer. Remedios was Santi’s biggest help, his biggest fan, and his only reason for having recovered. That won’t stop Facundo from trying to rescue him from his amnesia, and he tells him as much.
Ramiro visits Mariano at The Realty Place and tells him he wants the truth about Gina’s death.

Tres Veces Ana #56 and 57 - The Amnesiac of the Baskervilles
Hi all -- Sneaky is unable to recap for us today, so I am
providing a short summary from memory below and if anybody has more details, please add in
comments and I will update the main post later. Otherwise, discuss away!
Quite a bit of movement this episode.
First, as we suspected Ana Le is trying to weasel her way
out of the predicament she created by accepting Ramiro’s advances. Nobody wants
to hear her out though, except our gullible Llora. Before deciding to bare her
lying soul, Ana Le goes into a rage attack and slaps Llora. Realizing that,
should Llora talk about this, Ana Le will never get out of the doghouse, our
scheming murderess asks Llora to keep the slap quiet from the family. After all,
she – Ana Le – is going through so much. Marcelo is really alive and Ramiro
knew this all along, so Ana Le only agreed to this relationship to get closer
to Marcelo, who faked his death and is in hiding. Llora, of course, cannot
believe this. She is instructed by Ana Le to go talk to Ramiro and say nothing
to anybody else. So the joy of Llora’s tears and probably yet another break up
with Ramiro is awaiting us in one of the next few episodes.
Labels: ana
Tres Veces Ana #54 and 55 - A long lead up to an explosive reveal - the evil queen is banished from the kingdom, but keeps her head…for now
We start with a couple of Llora/Ana Le and Ramiro/Santiago
repeat moments. (Aren't there suddenly more repeat scenes in these double episodes at
the beginning?)
Marcelo gave a very firm and convincing talk to Mariano’s
lawyer friend Samuel. Marcelo will protect friends and destroy his enemies and
Samuel better pick a side and fast. Mousy Samuel agrees he is better off on
Marcelo’s good side. In that case, Marcelo instructs him to give him the key to
the security deposit box and transfer all the money Samuel laundered abroad to
Marcelo under the alias they’ve used previously. Samuel will also indeed
represent Ana Le in the divorce. Marcelo will get a different lawyer. Samuel
will make sure things don’t go Ana Le’s way in this divorce and that Marcelo
quickly regains his freedom. Samuel is not to talk to Santiago Garcia. To him
Santiago Garcia does not exist. Seems there are a lot of dirty deeds between
these two, as Samuel did not even try to argue.

Tres Veces Ana #52 and #53 - FlashBack To The Future
(All flashbacks discussed will be in italics)
Leonora has a flashback to a conversation with Facundo (aka Funky Dodo):
Funky says he plans to go back to Costa Paraiso. He asks her for forgiveness. She forgives & thanks him for a beautiful experience. Not wanting it to end, he asks her to go with him. He feels the family denied her the life she deserves, one that he'd offer her as his woman. She claims she had the chance, but was never brave enough to reach for happiness & feels she doesn't deserve it. He says it's her life, but he wants to thank her for helping him discover a heart that still beats. But due to her resistance, he can't resolve the sadness she feels inside. She nods and they bid each other goodbye.
Ana Let discovers her as he leaves. She confronts Leonora about her involvement with her FIL (father-in-law) and tells her she should be ashamed of herself.

Tres Veces Ana # 50 and 51 - In which it seems that the odds are stacked against Ana Le, yet it is too soon for the good to triumph
Hold on to your flat screens, Patio friends, we have a lot
to cover here today.
Rehash: Santi and Sole continue to figure out whether he
still loves his wife.
Tin is asking fake Llora to not let TioM separate them. Tin
will die if he loses Llora. In her fake faint, too sweet voice, “Llora” asks
Tin what he has against her tio. Well, says surprised Tin, it is actually him –
the crippled by TioM poor schmuck who is entitled to feeling snubbed. TioM made
him like this!!!
Out at the get-away ranch, TioM presents Llora to Viridiana
and talks about his never-ending love for his nieces. Viridiana is impressed,
Llora is touched. They talk about Ana Le and Llora reveals they are triplets.
TioM quickly says that the third sister is dead, but that doesn’t sit well with
Llora. She asks him not to say that, they argue some, making Viridiana
uncomfortable, and Llora excuses herself. Viridiana and TioM get back to
staring and flirting.

Tres Veces Ana #44/49: A Mexican Twist To Shrodinger's Gatita
Parte 1.
Dressed in a skort and 5 inch heels with a sleeveless blouse whose neckline plunges to her waistline, Ana Leticia is sitting at her desk “minding the store” for Tío Mariano. Iñaki is pissed she stood him up at the (expensive) restaurant for dinner. He begins a conversation with her that gives A MiMi a chance to save face: Unky Mo is on a vacation and asked her to go along to help him through but she told him no, that he had to learn to manage on his own with Jennifer’s absence in his life; so yeah, he asked her sister instead and he’s going to learn what a mistake that is because she’s nothing but a pain to deal with! And, speaking of that, where’s her passport? Yaki tells her it’s right where she left it. “—Don’t ever mess with my personal stuff again!!” Yaki starts to goad her into admitting she was there with Jen at the building site the day she died; and yet nobody knows she took that one-day round trip to Costa Paraiso—‘specially Mo and wouldn’t he just love to know that????? “—Just what are you hiding, Ana Leticia? Hmmmmm?”

Tres Veces Ana #46 - Former Enemies' First Dates & A Virgin Wig's Fate
We continue where we left off as Santi dressed as Marcelo has a flashback. Remembering Ramiro's words, he ponders why Leticia wants a divorce & doesn't want him to find Lucia.
Cue the devil herself, Ana Lucifer barges into her grandmother's room while Ernestina is checking her Tinder. Just as abruptly as she entered, she asks her what she's up to. Ernestina lies & says it's just a message from Miranda (but we all expect it's someone that may or may not rhyme with BRodrigo....or *crosses fingers* BEvaristo!). Leticia says she came back for her. Ernestina calls her out & says she thought she wanted to stay w/ her uncle. Leticia says in spite of him begging her to stay, she knew that her abue needed her more. Gag me. She then asks for the earrings Ernestina gave to Jenny to match a dress she bought. Indeed, Leticia's heart is more frigid than the body that hasn't even gone cold yet.

Tres Veces Ana #45 - May I please ask your wife to be my girlfriend?
Maribel and Ana Lu are having a very painful (for us) reconciliation
session. Ana Lu, having listened to
Maribel’s venomous statements, responds with a listing of Maribel’s qualities
she admires and a statement that she loves her. Maribel’s anger has
disappeared, she loves Ana Lu as well, though feels sometimes that Ana Lu is
distant, as if she believed herself better than Maribel. The irony of this last
statement apparently washes right over Ana Lu’s head, and she spends a couple
more minutes baring her soul on refusing Orlando’s advances and her current predicament
with Santi until, blissfully, the scene is cut.

Tres Veces Ana #39and/or #44 - Lots of Lies While Planning The Next Play
Ramiro, Santiago, aka Marcelo/SanMarco, and Iñaki, continue to play musical mujeres in order to keep the triplets from seeing each other.
Ram keeps Ana Leticia entertained—or is it the other way around since she’s going through a seductive striptease, while SanMarco admits to poor AnaLucia in Yaki’s bedroom(?) that he’s still in love with his wife as well as her now and it’s too complicated to explain. She, no longer feeling so lucky, tells him that she appreciates his honesty, but not to come looking for her again until he decides he’s going to get that divorce he promised her. Ana NSLucky leaves, thinking to race into the other apartment to Ram for comfort but, then decides not to, and gets into the elevator instead. Ram, meantime, admits to Ana MiMi the purely physical attraction he cannot control. He suggests it’s the physical similarity to her sister, Ana Laura. MiMi snickers and says well, since she’s thrown you over for that wheelchair bound loser, Valentin, Ram might as well have taken advantage of her attraction to him. Oh well, Ram’s loss, she taunts as the clothes go back on. Doesn’t he realize they both have a second chance at happiness. He is the only one who could make her whole again and take away the horrible bitterness she felt when Marcelo left her to her fate three years earlier. Ram tells her to hold her tongue.

He is the only one who could make her whole again and take away the horrible bitterness she felt when Marcelo left her to her fate three years earlier. Ram tells her to hold her tongue.
Ø Ana Llora shows up and walks into Ram’s apartment just as Yaki shows up to check on things. Santi sees and hides. A Llora finds Ram and needs to chat. He takes a moment to signal to Yaki that he’s got MiMi in his bedroom and to handle her while he chats up A Llora. Yaki entertains MiMi for Ram while he takes care of ALlora. He tells her A Llora showed up looking for Ram. “—What’s between those two –A Laura and Ramiro?” She tells him it’s none of his beeswax. “—A bit jealous, huh?”
Ø
A Llora thinks that he can make a good impression on Abuela Ernestina by showing her the ID bracelet Ram gave her. Santi listens from behind the door. (A Llora’s voice is sooooo frail- she’s so enervated--in this scene that her voice and presence practically drives me up the wall. I cannot stand this character ANYmore. Period.) Ram doesn’t agree, but they can discuss it over lunch. She refrains, but he insists that he knows the rules now that she’s with TinTin, and it would only be as friends. She agrees to go then. (--Good, cuz I don’t think I could stomach her much longer and would have to give up on her scenes today……) SanMarco sneaks into the hallway of Ram’s apartment now.
Yaki and MiMi walk into the living room and she’s angry that Ram left with her sister. What’s the big deal? He told you he’s been in love with her his entire life.” That’s a lie, she insists. ALlora turns her back on him and he refuses the opportunity to tell AMimim how much he really likes her. She complains he’s only a opportunist, chasing after their money. Just like him. Yaki notes Santi in the doorway and signals to stay covered. He stutters he doesn’t have the slightest interest in her. They can’t stand each other anyway, right? “You even detest me, don’t you?” Yep, she does. But, oh, she’ll tell him the same as she told Ramiro (in what universe?) that Marcelo was and still is the only man in her life. Yaki agrees. “--That’s fine. Ok. Bye.” She calls him boring, turns her nose up and leaves. Yaki breathes easier. He makes excuses to SanMarco that he doesn’t know where she gets these crazy ideas from. He can’t stand her—and it’s less and less by the day.

Tres Veces Ana # 43
Tres Veces Ana #42 - Run into, then run away!
We pick back up with Ana Lu being dragged away by a
hysterical Sole. Ana Lu is incredulous – how could Sole have humiliated her
like that, and in front of all her friends. Suddenly Evaristo appears out of
thin air and scares even Sole. Without skipping a beat though, she asks him for
a ride home. He seems to have become such a ubiquitous figure not only to us,
because even Ana Lu is not surprised to see him there. He does reveal having
known that Ana Lu belongs to Danzaire, and Sole is upset. She still wants that
ride though.
