Yago #50: Ticking Time Bomb
Ticking Time Bomb-- Poem
by Jaquay Atkins
Read more »
With an arrow through
my heart, you poisoned my soul
Toxic fumes run
rampant
Appalled at your
conniving actions;
Body is numb, icicles
for fingers
Crying inside
My mind has become a
ticking time bomb
The explosion is bound
to be epic
Flashback: Lucio
takes a very young Matias to his first horse riding (equitación) lesson. Matias
is worried about falling off the horse and prefers to go to Jonas’ house to learn
carpentry. Lucio tells him they will go afterwards. He tries to alleviate
Matias’ fears about the horse, and tells Matias that he always wanted to be a
horseman (jinete) when he was a kid. He tells Matias that horses need their love
and care, and can be good friends. Voiceover: “If there was anything I learned from my parents when they stopped
caring for me, it was that blood ties aren’t enough to unite a family.”
Present Day:
Lucio goes into Mati’s room, picks up a picture of Matias on his horse, hugs it
to his body, and begins to cry. Voiceover: “I
thought that my love for Matias would be enough to have him with me for always.
Now, I know that even the strongest love is powerless against the whims of destiny.”

Yago #49 Bombs are dropping all over the place, (not really)
Sorry it took so long. Recapping this TN is very time consuming because there is so much detail to it. Anyway, here you go.
We start off at Lucio’s office with Abel telling Lucio that Abel has joined forces with Yago now and he wants Lucio to do it also, he will bring him there dead or alive. With sweat dripping off of his face profusely cuz it’s Mexico City and no one needs to wear a heavy jacket anytime of the year to keep warm, he opens it and show Lucio the bomb he’s wearing on his chest.
Flashback to Ambar as a 10 year old, crying and hungry, she misses Sara, Damian trying to calm her down. He tells her that Sara abandoned them. Damian admits to missing her too. He also admits that Sara was his favorite, wishing that Ambar was instead, things would have been much easier if she were.
Current day, Damian puts flowers on Ambar’s grave.

Yago #47, Wednesday August 4, 2016: Yago vs. Omar
Bullet points:
- Lucio gets Damian out of jail, much to the horror of Sara and Mati.
- Julia accepts Selma as her mama. (Fidel will have to wait a little longer.)
- Melina tells Yago she doesn't want any more to do with him. He can come back when he's ready to be Omar.
- Lucio looks for Abel at Camilo's request, but is unable to find him. Also, Lucio's been doing coke. Oh yeah, that'll totally help!
- Yago agrees to let Jimena, the pushy artist, exhibit her art in his bar. He offers her a wall for a new mural.
- There's some discussion about what to do with Abel. Also, Team Fidel/Yago agree to target Hernan next.
- Camilo impresses Mati and woos Sara. (Sara lets Camilo know that Lucio isn't Mati's biological father.) The flirtation leads to a poker game in which Sara is the prize. Sara throws the game, but when it's time to pay up, it's not clear if she can go through with it...

Yago #46: The Perfect Weapon
Full recap is up now.
Enjoy!
Read more »
Flashback: Abel
comes to Casa Guerrero in the middle of the night, beat up and bleeding after
getting in yet another fight. Omar lets him in and takes him upstairs, trying
not to wake the rest of the family, but Melina wakes anyway. She sends Omar for
the medical kit to tend to Abel’s wounds, and gently warns Abel to stop getting
into these fights. He’s going to get himself killed one day. He has to learn to
control himself. She assures him she’s concerned about him and that he’s
family. Abel is touched, and tells her what his grandmother told him—that he’s
the family black sheep and a lost soul. Melina tells him, “Your grandmother doesn’t know what a big heart you have. And I don’t
think you do either.”
Abel voiceover: “Omar’s
family healed my old wounds. Ones I never thought were possible to heal.
They believed in me, and made me believe that I wasn’t the monster that
everyone else thought I was. But they were mistaken. The monster was only
sleeping.”
Present day: Abel
meets Hernan in an abandoned warehouse, prepared to follow Camilo’s orders and
interrogate someone. Abel stops cold when he sees the someone is a terrified Melina.
Abel tries to get out of it and asks Hernan to let her go. He points out to
Hernan that he knows the lady. Hernan, the Killing Machine, doesn’t give a
damn. Abel’s there to get info out of the old lady, by any means necessary.
Abel is more than reluctant, remembering how kind Melina has always been to
him.

Yago #45 More cold blooded killing
I don't know how to make this any shorter, there is too much information I would be leaving out in order to do so.
We start with a flashback from Omar, he’s about 10, Jonas walks in on Omar in the midst of a huge mess in his workshop, yelling at Omar, how he could do such a thing. Omar denies culpability, but his father doesn’t believe his denials. They go outside, Jonas asks if it wasn’t Omar, who did it? Omar sees a smirking Lucio in the distance, but like a good friend, Omar takes the fall for him.
Yago is heard saying that there’s nothing worse than be accused of something you didn’t do. Poor Omar has had a lot of that in his life. And the latest is from Matias accusing Yago of killing Ambar. And just like when Jonas wouldn’t believe in the goodness of Omar and Omar’s denials, Jonas is repeating it with Yago, and told Yago to leave.
Well, even though Julia left her conversation with Katia in a huff, saying she didn’t want to have anything to do with Selma and Fidel, she now is taking the time to read the letter Selma wrote to her dead daughter Fabiana, the letter that Katia snuck from Selma’s book and then gave to Julia. It says:

Yago Capitulo 44 :Sanctuary of Men
[Some scenes are merged for easier reading]
Flashback: A long time ago in a land behind the seven wrenches Abel tried to hook up the nasty with Ambar but she didn't fall for his romantic tricks. Abel quickly apologized, blowing off all of the candlelight's. Abel damns the romantic advises that his friends had given him. He agrees to just be friends with Ambar. They both cheer to their friendship.
In the present Abel is just realizing how difficult life is without the people he loves. Julia who had naively just driven him home wakes him up and starts chatting with him. They chat timidly about Abel's happiest moments with Ambar. Julia also talks about her lack of money. Their showcase of physical and emotional scars quickly transforms into awesome sex.

Yago #43, Wednesday July 27, 2016: Lies or Consequences
Here is a summary. I'll post a blow-by-blow later tonight.
- Hernan tells Melina he is collecting for the orphanage, but she turns him away. Later, Melina feels badly and contacts the orphanage, then calls him personally.
- Katia and Teo agree to give the relationship a try. They want to keep it a secret, but Katia tells Julia, and Yago quickly finds out too. Yago is okay with it, but they don't think Fidel would be so understanding.
- Camilo and Yago face off (over cards) at the casino. Yago proposes that instead of betting boring money, they should each write down their biggest secret. Yago's secret is "I am Omar." Camilo's secret is "I killed Ambar." However, neither secret is ever revealed.
- Fidel is convinced that Tom Vargas will switch teams if he's offered more money.
- Abel meets Tom Vargas, who quickly earns Abel's profound contempt.
- Sara makes a deal with Camilo that she'll move out of Lucio's house to get a place of her own with Mati, and she'll pay Camilo back. Lucio, however, has already told Mati that they'll be a "family" forever. He dares Sara to tell Mati otherwise. It appears that she chickens out.
- At the Ambar bar grand opening, Yago works hard to shake Becker's confidence in Camilo. And, Abel makes friends with Julia. He also makes a big scene and loudly accuses Yago of killing Ambar. He's drunk, so Julia offers to drive him home on his motorcycle. (The bar patrons will have to pour their own drinks!)
- Yago is upset to be blamed (again) for something he didn't do - in this case, Ambar's murder. He tries to explain himself to Sara. When that doesn't work, he says he loves her and tries to kiss her. This earns him a slap. She plays the recorded phone call that makes him sound guilty. They argue about Ambar's murder. Mati overhears.

A closer look
Flashback. A Bouffant-less Katia is visiting an apartment with her then boyfriend, Leo. They decided to live together though Katia is skeptical. Not about Leo but rather about her own ability to mess up the relationship. Katia is an infamous ruiner of good things, it seems. Leo insists the two of them will be just fine. Sure enough, Leo walks in one day and finds her drugged off her rocker with some random half-naked dude. Before leaving her, Leo says he has done everything he could to make her happy, to make her realize that she is a happy person. But he concedes defeat: She managed to destroy him along with the love he felt for her. Katia's voiceover narration reflects on life and life decisions: “Life is a blank canvas and we are the ones who decide what to draw on it. It is full of possibilities. (...) When I have the possibility to choose, I always pick the wrong path. Years ago, I decided to leave that canvas blank. What would be the point of painting on it, if you’re just going to end up ruining it?”

Yago #41. Monday July 25, 2016. Oh, For Pumpkin’s Sake!
Hello Patio Pals! I'm experiencing connectivity problems at home. I have 5 hours at an internet café to watch three episodes and summarize two; so this is going to be short and sweet.
Flashback. Camilo says he is a professional card player who confronted the very best players out there. However, his most difficult and protracted round was with a small child. Little Julia, played by the most adorable munchkin in all of Munchkinland is shown refusing to eat and refusing to let go of her past life. She keeps asking about the family whose memory Camilo wants to erase. Then, one day, little Julia hugs him and, when he tucks her into bed, she says: “Good night, Papá!” Camilo’s heart facsimile audibly melts. Present time. Camilo finds the absence of his daughter so painful, it physically hurts him. The little girl became the only light in his world of shadows. And now, that light is getting dimmer and Camilo can’t do anything about it.

Yago Capitulo 40 : The Seeds of Time
 |
| For the love of Life There's a trade off We could lose it all But we'll go down fighting Won't we? |
At a rather comfy old house of Madrigal, Young Ambar is playing hide and seek with her beloved mother. Ambar is telling us that since childhood we always believe that there can be a safe space in which you could hide in when things go bad but at times the safe space simply vanishes like critters. While playing her mother suddenly passes out to her death. A distraught Ambar calls Daddy Cockroach for help. Daddy Cockroach arrives seemingly sad but at the same time very nasty with his youngest daughter and blames her for the death of her mother (Something tells me Daddy Dearest poisoned his wife). Ambar continues her monologue telling that when the safe space vanishes, we have to become our own safe space to be able to protect ourselves.

Yago, #39, Wednesday 7/20/16: The Pliers of Despair
Tomas Vargas's adopted son Hernan tells us in a flashback that he doesn't know what it's like to feel the pain of being weak. Tomas Vargas adopts a boy named Hernan. The director of the orphanage (or whatever) warns Tom that Hernan is a troubled child. (We see him playing with a knife.) Our narrator reminds us that, alas, that pain can be helpful because it tells us when it's time to run away.
Still in the flashback, Tom tells Hernan that if he's good, he'll get a treat. Today Tom is going to teach him to shoot! In another flashback when Hernan is a few years older, Hernan is dragging corpses into the horse stables for his proud adoptive daddy.
Lucio visits at Abel's house and presents him with some of the evidence that Camilo gave him at the end of the previous episode. We don't see any of it now, but later we see that there are photos of Teo working with Yago. Abel is shocked and angry. Lucio explains that Yago and Teo both work for Fidel. Abel is even more upset to hear that Yago is now engaged to Ambar!
Camilo and Fidel are still facing off at the former Candy Bar. Fidel gloats. Julia is disgusted with all of them, and runs out. Yago follows to comfort her. (Hmm, I wonder if these two might have a future together?) Camilo shows Fidel the lucky coin and says he'll get it back in the next cadaver, and it will be even more devastating than the loss of his two sons. Camilo dares Fidel to shoot him now and show Julia what kind of man he really is. Selma talks Fidel out of it.

Hello Patio Pals! We’ll have to make do with a summary until a volunteer takes over this recapping spot.
Flashback. Abel thinks back to Omar’s funeral. “Through my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault... It’s my fault that Omar is six feet under, that Melina and Jonás lost their son and that Bruno lost his brother”. Abel is visibly twitchy. Lucio leans in and whispers a warning in his ear: “I know what’s going through your head. Don’t you dare!”

The boys leave the office laughing. Present time, Abel contemplates the plaque and ruminates: “Omar was the brother I never had, my accomplice, my friend. I sacrificed him to have a future. A future that never came. I didn’t realize that without Omar, there was no future.”

Flashback. Sara muses over happy endings and reminisces about happier times. Much younger versions of her and Ámbar are shown eating ice-cream and people-watching in the park. Sara used to believe in happily-ever-after. She used to think that her life would be like a romantic movie where she would meet the perfect man and share a blissful existence with him. Instead, Sara was condemned to a different life altogether. She recalls that time when the pigeon she tried to scam ended up beating and raping her. “Maybe love does exist. Maybe happy endings are real. Just not for me.”

Yago, #35, Wednesday 7/13/16: The bride wore white... I mean red... I mean white
Yago has a flashback:
Everyone loves a happy ending. In classic movies, the happy ending always begins with a question: "will you marry me?" Yago remembers how he, as Omar, was practicing that big question in front of a mirror when, to his horror, he realized that the ring was missing. Bruno had taken it. Omar reassures the boy that, while marrying Sara will make Omar very happy, Omar wants Bruno to be happy as well. This satisfies Bruno, and he gives the ring back.
In the present, Sara tells Yago that even though she loved Omar, she framed him for the casino heist anyway. "Do you still want to marry me?" She has tears in her eyes; not tears of shame, but tears of terror that this awesomely rich hot guy will reject her.
Yago tells us: I don't believe in happy endings, much less "forever." I know those are the things of fairy tales, and in most cases looks are deceiving. There are princesses who, deep down, are worse than dragons.
Sara's too desperate to wait for Yago's thought-bubbles. She prompts him for a reply. She offers to explain why she betrayed Omar. She didn't do it for the money, as Yago thinks. "I won't justify myself," she begins... and then she proceeds to justify herself.

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.

We finally see Alejandra's numb body. Bruno&Yago both got anonymously called by Damian. They almost fight but Yago reveals that he had sweet nothings to do with Ale's death. Bruno clearly cannot contain his sadness.
We get a flashback of Young Camilo yet again and man is he a psycho. From a calm, loving fairy tale reader he turns into every traitor's worst nightmare. He first shows the traitor Adolfo a glimpse of his favorite flower telling him of the cold history that each of them hold. Camilo stops to tell Adolfo that he's the next in line to get turned in a leaf. The goons drag him away and drown him mercilessly under water.

Yago, #31, Thursday 7/7/16: Buried Hopes
Lucio wanted everything that was Omar's. Well, it's happening now. Not only did he get Omar's girl, Omar's son, and Omar's family - he also got Sara's betrayal and a prison sentence. How sweet! Will he also die in a prison riot? Or will he be befriended by a helpful mobster who's willing to leverage Lucio's rage for his own purposes? I can't wait to find out!
It must be the next day, because Sara is wearing a different dress. Lucio's been sentenced to six years and a fine of 120 "salarios" for his fraud. I don't know how much a "salario" is, but I'll bet that 120 of them add up to more than a slap on the wrist. He stares at Sara in disbelief as he's marched out to the waiting van. She stares right back at him.
As the prison guards shove him around, Lucio reflects that this is especially tough coming from the person to whom he's dedicated the best years of his life. The other inmates welcome him with a ticker-tape parade (okay, a shower of trash) as he's brought to his cell. Lucio muses that betrayal has always been at his side; it has the face of an angel, and the name of a woman. He adds, somewhat redundantly, that its name is Sara. Weeping, Lucio tears Sara's visage off of the family photo he was allowed to keep.
