 |
| I can't believe I gave up carbs and quit Azteca for this $h*te! |
At a glance
-- A sad sad episode! Pox on Osorio to the hundredth power!
A closer look
Esperanza is at the hospital for another chemo session. That condescending video of perfectly healthy young models telling cancer patients how to feel, is still playing on a loop. A nurse escorts Raquel in. She asks where is Esperanza’s handsome hubby. “He’s not my husband”, corrects Espe. He’s the most gorgeous man that Raquel has ever seen. Esperanza admits that Ernesto is very good-looking and 99.9% of viewers nod in agreement. Raquel enquires whether Esperanza has experienced any of chemo’s side effects on her body, skin and hair. Esperanza tries to change the subject but Raquel says it is best to face these things now.

Sueño de Amor (SdA) #82. Friday July 8, 2016. There’s A New Coupling In Sueñolandia And It’s A Match Made in Blah!
 |
| Prince Charming and Dora the Explorer had a kid and he is getting married in Sueñolandia next week. |
At a glance
-- Baby Luca is Luca’s baby. Anastasia jubilates while Pato pouts.
-- Cristina is a bore. Ricardo is a ho.
-- There is a double boda next week.
A closer look
The DNA test results confirm that Baby Luca is Luca’s son. Anastasia is overjoyed and starts making demands already:
- She wants to register the kid, because she didn’t think to register him before dumping him on her mother QEPD.
- She wants to baptize the kid, because even though the walls bleed any time she enters a church, she still has a spiritual side.
- She wants to introduce the kid into society, because she needs everyone and their grandma to know he is Luca de la Colina’s son.
- She wants Luca to take the kid off her hands for a while, because she says she hasn’t gotten a good night’s sleep in over a week. In reality, what she meant to say is that it’s been a while since she roamed the city at night stealing other people’s essences.

Sueño de amor, Ep. 81 (7.7.16) Life is unfair, while some experience full blown cancer others enjoy full blown romances.
Recycling
Cristina Vélez Valderrama, the firewoman of education test the Gallos to see if they are worth the scholarship. After all, as in bad shape as the Palacios is right now, it will always be way better than Vasconcelos. Margarita encounters the kids on their way out and after greeting them inquires her friend why is she looking so gorgeous.
-Something happened since the last time we saw each other, right? Tell me, tell me... there's that spark in your eyes!
-I have found my daughter! With the help of a pretty handsome man, by the way!
-Yes? Great! And how is she? And how is that bastard of your ex husband?
-IN JAIL! -answers Ricardo from the open door claiming that their chat could be heard all the way to the patio.
Margarita melts herself (se deshace en halagos) in compliments to the Bombón and excuses herself to leave this two tórtolos (love doves) alone. The way you look at each other could make this office get on fire! Never fear my dear, the firewoman is here...
-How do you know Margarita? -asks Cristina
-Oh well, it is a very long story that I better tell you tonight with luxury of details...
-Tonight?
-Yes, I have plans for you... wink!
Esperanza tells Ernesto how worried she is and how bad that is in her condition because Pato HAD TO FINALLY ATTEND SCHOOL and to her bad luck, she will also be tested and she didn't study and she doesn't know the formulas by heart.
Ernesto only hears a buzz and sees Esperanza's lips moving, because his head has its own problems, somebody betrayed him and he needs to tie that end asap.

Sueño de amor #80 Wed. July 6, 2016
Here they are: just the facts . . . ;)
So, we will pick up at Ricardo's, with Cristina left breathless after the kiss. They talk about where the kids are and about her ex being in jail. She asks if anything happened to him Ricardo. He assures her that nothing happened. He suggests they call each other "tú" after all they have been through. She isn't too sure about that and prefers "usted" so he does not forget she is his boss. He assures her he won't forget. (She is serious!!!) He just chuckles and walks away. As he turns she notices the blood at the nape of his neck. He had forgotten all about that. She makes him sit down and goes to get first aid items out of the medicine chest so she can treat Ricardo's neck wound. He just sits smiling waiting for her to come back.
At Margarita's, Kristel tells her family all about her wanting to get away from it all by goimg to study abroad in Barcelona if she gets a scholarship at one particular university she has applied to. Mario tries to dissuade her saying that you don't make a big decision like that so quickly. Her mother Silvana says she agrees with Mario but thinks if she leaves she won't be able to get rid of her (as in kill her). The you know what hits the fan when Kristel tells them she could be leaving next week if all goes as planned. She would like to be in her father's wedding though . . .

Sueño de Amor (SdA) #79. Tuesday July 5, 2016. And Now Wee Boys & Girls, Prepare Your Innocent Eyes For A Playful Session Of Torture!
 |
| Thank goodness this is a family show! Can you otherwise imagine the level of gratuitous violence and voyeuristic sadism? |
Hello Patio Pals! We’ll have to make do with a summary until a volunteer takes over this recapping spot.
One of Óscar’s thugs clocks Ricardo on the back of the head with a pistol butt and knocks him out. Ricardo comes to three seconds later and manages to defeat the baddies. Instead of getting his bleeding head wound looked at, Ricardo follows the fleeing thugs to a warehouse, turns off his cellphone after calling Cristina and asking her to take care of his kids, then goes in alone without calling back-up. Logic, common sense and self-preservation collectively committed suicide after this!

Sueno de amor, #78 Hot stuff Ricardo Alegria in hot pursuit of an old lady with a cane
Side note:
It’s the
first time I’m watching the new credits. As of now I believe Espe and Ric are
still endgame, but maybe Osorio wants to do a poll or something similar, to
have the audience « decide » the ending. Ha! Like anyone would care
that much to actually vote…
Part 1
Crazy
Tracy of the Crazy eyes arrives at Anastasia’s house. The baby is crying, so
Ana hands her innocent little bundle to the lunatic who couldn't even love her own kids. Luquita better not
have a long memory, being in the company of these two might scar him for life.
They
start chatting about each others problems. Ana is worried about the DNA test,
Tracy is worried because Ernie tried to kill her. She needs to hide from him,
she’s desperate.
She
further explains how Murillo chickened out at the last moment, shooting into a
pillow and how he had a fake blood make-up kit in his back pocket just in case.
Tracy agreed to give him all the money and jewelry that she had in exchange
for her life. And now she’s dirt poor and has no place to stay. Could Ana help
her ? Please ?

Sueño de amor, Ep. 77 (6.30.16) While Esperanza almost dies, Ricardo lures Cristina to his bedroom (el muerto al pozo y el vivo al gozo).
We start this episode with a visit to the precinct, where Ricardo Alegría Sandoval (ex ''secret'' agent turned teacher) and Cristina Vélez Valderrama (the firewoman of education/life guru to raped girls), are reporting to Gilberto Rentería de la Fuente (tired of seeing Ricardo's mug even in the soup), the assault she suffered in hands of her ex husband Oscar Sousa Villaurrutia (women abuser slash bastard kidnapper). Luckily for her, super duper agent and justice avenger Ricardo Alegría Sandoval was there to save her in the nick of time and now he is getting a call from Baxter Bestertester (who will probably lose his job for doing things he shouldn't be doing), who has seen Abril Sousa Vélez somewhere in Colonia del Valle.
Since the girl is alive and there's no time to lose, the couple that used to hate each other but are now reunited by the circumstances, take off to look for her, leaving the report for another time (that if the writers remember to tie this loose end, if not, they'll forget about it and will never be mentioned like happened to Instituto Vasconcelos. Have you heard from it lately?)
Baxter's pictures show the girl and then an old woman grabbing her. Could it be that Oscar has a nanny to take care of her?

Sueño de amor #76 Wed. 6/29/16
So, here we go! I had some technical difficulties tonight. Let us just say, my recording was less than ideal.
The surgery has started. Ernesto is being supportive not just with opening his wallet but to Pato and also Pedro as his own children. They all have high hopes for Esperanza's survival.
Long hours of surgery . . . .
Pedro talks out his problems with Kristel with Ernesto. Pablo is reluctant to have any involvement with her because of the possibility of her blackmailing him using her depression and not eating.
At Margarita's house, Kristel is bemoaning her solo state without boyfriends. Her whole family cheers her and tells her how much they love her. Although smiling, on the inside Silvana is happy Kristel has ended up alone.

Sueño de Amor (SdA) #75. Tuesday June 28, 2016. Have Faith In Your Dreams, Especially The Ones Where You Don't Die
Hello Patio Pals! We’ll have to make do with a summary until a volunteer takes over this recapping spot.
Kracy calls her kids to taunt them: Did they get a chance to see Filomena, the venomous froggy Mommy left in the house? Ricardo takes the phone away from Rodrigo and forbids Kracy to talk to his kids. He sends a text message to Baxter asking him to locate (ubicar) Kracy’s phone number. Kracy is in Mexico City, comes back Baxter’s answer, almost instantly. Kracy threatens to kill Ricardo with one shot to the forehead. After she hangs up, Ricardo phones Baxter to ask for another “favor”: Please find Cristina’s missing kid and let Tricky Ricky get all the credit and grateful nookie.
Ernesto brings Esperanza flowers and accompanies her to church along with Pato and Pedro. In case you’re wondering, no, the walls didn’t bleed when the handsome devil walked into church. A two-minute praying scene to La Virgen de la Paz ensues.

| Ah the joys of villana-imposed parenthood! |
At a glance
-- When lies, blackmail, guilt and murder all fail to heal heartache and lovesickness, one must turn to Lala’s delightful range of dairy delectables for comfort! Because a gassy stomach will always distract you from a broken heart!
A closer look
Cristina crosses paths with Óscar, her abusive ex-hubby, at the shopping mall. He is going up the stairless escalator, rocking his signature salt-n-pepper quirky quiff. She is coming down the stairless escalator, slaying that nude-colored dress whose plasticky fabric hugged, nay, suffocated, her pneumatic curves. She sees Óscar’s face clearly (we don’t), recognizes him immediately and runs after him. When she finally catches up to him, it turns out he is some other dude. Two questions boggle and perplex the viewers at this point:

At a glance
-- Kracy's death-by-froggy murder plan failed. Ricardo lives. ¡Maldita sea! Bloomin' heck!
-- Pouty Pato and Loopy Luca call off their wedding. ¡Enhorabuena! Congratulations!
-- The new opening credits indicate it's very likely that the insipid twosome, Cristina and Ricardo, end up together. ¡Da igual! Makes no difference!
A closer look
It’s breakfast time at Casa Guerrero. Anastasia shows up with the wee tot in her arms. She wants him to meet his Auntie Pato, soon-to-be ex-fiancée of his father. Anastasia introduces the baby as Luca, named after his daddy, obviously. She also adds that the unlucky father has already met his Mini-Me. Pato is so shocked and saddened, she starts sobbing. Esperanza accuses Anastasia of renting the baby, as her latest ploy to separate
the PatoLuca pair.

Hello Patio Pals! We’ll have to make do with a quick summary until a volunteer takes over this recapping spot.
Ricardo saves Estrella from Jabba the Hutt (whose dubbed-over voice continues to make him sound like a detergent commercial). Once again, poor Baxter does all the work and Tricky Ricky and la Virgencita get all the credit. It is worth noting that all the thugs present during Estrella's rescue were very cooperative with Ricardo. All he had to do was talk them into surrendering their guns.

 |
| Ernesto is insanely hot: Sweet as pie with his gal but a bad motha when need be. He deserves a happy ending. Yes, I have issues. |
At a glance
-- Osorio is still regurgitating the same tired plots. Esperanza suffers. Ricardo plays vigilante (when Baxter is the real unsung hero). Ernesto melts hearts. Pato b*tches. Luca cowers. Kristel snivels. Pedro withdraws. Estrella self-sacrifices. Erasmo self-flagellates. Cristina is self-important. Silvana is pathetic. Mario is spineless. Margarita is clueless. Kracy is crazy. Kiko is the producer's son, so he gets plenty of airtime no matter what.
A closer look
At Casa Guerrero, Pedro informs his sister that the X-rated photos starring her fiancé and his ex have gone viral. Pato throws another tantrum about Luca not calling her immediately after being notified of Anastasia’s latest stunt. It’s not like the guy has to earn a living or anything. New York or no, business trip or no, Pato expects Luca to phone her at the top of every hour to let her know what he’s doing and to marvel at her beauty, to maintain good communication. Here’s a thought, Pato: Why don’t you attach a Luca-cam to the guy’s head and follow his every movement?

Is midnight in Sueñolandia and the sandman failed to show up, so everybody is awake...
Mario came looking for Leche Lala and found Salma, so they had a picnic inside the refrigerator while discussing the love life of the teenager. Hashtag Ladyconfundida2 or #Ladyembarazada. Her guilt is keeping her awake because she is expecting a baby from the boy she loves and he despises her while there's another boy who loves her but she dispises him. Well, it runs in the family, Mario himself was confundido once dating Pánfila, or whats her name? Felícitas, only to make her loose her job and disappear from the face of the earth. Now he loves Viviana but who knows? Silvana is coming back, and the writers are crazy, so I wouldn't bet much on it.

Sueño de amor #68 Wed. 6/15/16
It seems soooo long ago but we left with Cristina deciding to accept the job at the Instituto Palacios and asking Mr. Snoop Ricardo to leave.
At the family court office, Ricardo hands over a psychological evaluation that was done on him about six months ago to the judge. She says she will look it over. She asks if he has the "proof" he has told her about. He does not have those videos yet. He will be sending them to her and they will prove he never touched Tracy. He thanks her for the time and consideration she has given him. His case is interesting to her because she wants to protect his children and she can see that his children do love him which is the opposite of Tracy's claims. She wants all of the information as clear as possible.
Margarita and Kristel go to visit Silvana at the jail. Surprise! Surprise! Silvana's demeanor is totally changed as part of the "true revenge" plan as suggested by La Tuerta (Ole One Eye). Silvana is crying and asking for their forgivenes. She even kisses their hands and lets them "pet" her head like a dog but nothing has changed. She has successfully deceived them with her "pity me" and "mea culpa" act. In reality, Silvana thinks they are just as stupid as ever.
