Sueno de Amor, #86 Everybody loves somebody, but not everybody is loved by somebody...
I'll keep this short and to the point, you're all welcome to add anything that I might have forgotten in the comments, since this won't be your usual scene by scene recap.
Pablo, I left you a message in the first comment.
First, a little recap of our main characters and what they've been up to.
We're at Margarita, Felix, Viviana and Mario's wedding. Nothing like a double wedding to keep the judge confused about the names of the wedding party. The poor woman almost had Mario and Felix get married because she wasn't quite up to date with the couples.
If the judge has problems figuring out who is marrying who, then it's a relief she's not aware of what is going on with the wedding guests. That would really give her a headache.
For starters, we have the Pato-Luca-Erasmo-Kristel-Pedro-Aranza circle ofterminally confused love. Who loves who and why and since when has become quite a chore to remember right now, so let's just say that everyone is mostly miserable. Yes, PatoLuca are reconciled today, but it's only mid-afternoon, so much can still happen before night fall.
There is also the Estrella-Adrian-Salma-Kiko slightly incestuous story: Estrella is Kiko's sister and Salma's nemesis from school, Kiko loves Salma, Adrian and Estrella love each other and Salma started to love her baby after seeing the ultrasound, so much so that she's even thinking about keeping the child after birth. Would Adrian be up to the challenge of raising a child with his abuser? Gulp.
Everyone still with me? OK!

Yago #36. Thursday July 14, 2016. Faceoffs And Fireworks, Regrets And Waterworks
 |
| Sobbing in scarlet is the way to suffer. |
At a glance
-- The ratchet drama of the Sara-Yago-Ámbar love-hate-revenge hexagon is in full swing.
-- Abel seeks atonement across the border.
-- Julia doubts the veracity of the revelation about her origin.
-- The Avengers squad have a new plan to expose Camilo.
-- Camilo abducts Selma and makes her an offer she can’t refuse. She goes ahead and refuses it anyway.
A closer look
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.”

Un Camino Hacia el Destino-Week 22 (Jul 18, 2016) 1st Half
Apologies for not attending to Caray Camino business. I
didn’t get a new page up for the second half of the week, but we were
unceremoniously dumped for a Univision spectacular—as though Un Camino isn’t
spectacular enough. It was enough to confuse me. This new page will serve until
this coming mid-week.
Now, where were we? Some of us are feeling more sympathy for Amelia, some much less sympathy for Pedro, none for Luis, sorry Alicia was dragged into his malfeasance, happy that Little Pedrito has two parents to play with, worried about Javier’s intentions, expect Camila to become a street kid, cautious regarding Marissa’s health and state of mind and seriously concerned about Don Fernando’s most recent crisis, but mostly we wonder what will IzzaFreeza do next. Seriously, it’s about time she got a new “luke,” everyone else has.

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.

Tres Veces Ana - #38 - Friends or Enemies?
Marcelo and Ramiro spent today’s episode deciphering the
complexities of Marcelo’s memory loss and debating each other’s agenda, again with
neither mentioning Evaristo. Ev simply must write a book on manipulating people
to his own ends. I really think he’d make a fortune once people discover he is
a genius.
So let’s begin! Scenes are rearranged somewhat for

Yago #34. Tuesday July 12, 2016. I Know What You Did Last Summer, I Mean, 12 Summers Ago!
 |
| I am going to murder you, you bloody woman! |
Hello Patio Pals! We’ll have to make do with a summary until a volunteer takes over this recapping spot.
Flashback. Fidel learns that his two sons with ex-wife Raquel were attacked by Camilo’s goons. Selma and Fidel are ambushed and their daughter Fabiana is kidnapped. Camilo was ready to kill her too but the adorable child won his heart. He admits that even the most powerful men have an Achilles heel. The moment he laid eyes on the little girl, he knew she would be his Achilles heel, his biggest weakness and, quite possibly, his perdition.

Hello Patio Pals! We’ll have to make do with a summary until a volunteer takes over this recapping spot.
Salma and Kiko contemplate for a brief moment the possibility of raising Salma’s unborn kid together: Two babies raising a baby on love and the revenue of a lemonade stand! Salma concedes that, fantasies aside, the best option is to give her baby up for adoption. Not if Márgara has anything to say about it! Buckle up for 6 months’ worth of nagging, guilt-tripping, sermons and emotional blackmail!

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.

Tres Veces Ana - # 36, In which Valentin is the winner in every scene
As we settle in for another episode of TVA all bright eyed
and bushy tailed (and hoping to remain that way for the duration of the
episode), Llora and Leonor are on their way to visit Tin. Llora was convinced by
Leonor to go there to show the latter where Llora’s novio lives. In reality we
remember that Ramiro has painted quite a picture to Leonor on the variety of
collages in Tin’s living room. This time we are spared the back-and-forth of ‘I
am thirsty, won’t you invite me in?’ and ‘But I am in a hurry, let’s drink
water at the restaurant’ and we actually see Tin opening the door and letting
Llora and Leonor in.

Tres Veces Ana #35: Old Memories, New Methods Or, Revelations and Self-Recriminations
• The “new Marcelo” accuses Evaristo at gunpoint of having concocted one heck of a despicable lie. Ol’ Ev as usual can explain. SanMarco tells him that his mind may not remember much but his muscles and instincts are totally on top of things; the man in front of Ev now is very capable of pulling a trigger, so don’t test him! (Yeah, you’re just as likely to have pigs fly with this old windbag!) Ev starts spinning another one.
• Evaristo puts the blame on SanMarco for not following his directions and going with the man at the airport like he told him to. Oh, and that explains why he lied about that picture he gave him, and lying bout her being his wife. Then she’s lying dead in a construction site while two are trying to kill him? Ev tells him if he’d wanted him dead he’d have been dead a long while back already. ---(NOT! It’s no wonder Marcelo’s alive with the group of half-baked wannabe crooks this guy’s got on his payroll! Ev thinks a bit too highly of himself in this biz.) No, Marcelo Salvaterra had numerous enemies. Could have been any one of them…..
• At the same time, Ramiro breaks a window to enter Valentin’s hole-in-the-wall apartment. He sees what a dump it is and notes all the liquor bottles –Yup, he’s an alchy. He then sees the pictures of Ana Laura plastered over the wall and realizes this dude’s not only a fortune-hunter but a stalker who’s had this developing relationship planned all along. (Duh-duh-duhhhh!!!)

All of the scenes in this episode kind of reminded me of this song. Such an avoidable sadness.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Yago #29. Monday July 4, 2016. The Sprinkler Sprinkled, The Hunter Hunted, The Betrayer Betrayed
 |
| Resting Iván Sánchez face |
At a glance
-- To put it politely: This fecal matter just got real!
A closer look
Lucio is arrested outside Casa Guerrero just as he and Matías were preparing to flee the country. Matías is distressed by the scene and keeps tearfully asking: “What’s happening, Papá?”. He bangs on the police car window and pleads with the officers not to take his daddy away because “he didn’t do anything”. Lucio reassures his son that everything is going to be alright. The poor kid continues to cry while Sara tries to console him. Yago observes the scene silently and thinks to himself: “There are moments that haunt you (perseguir) all your life and this is one of them. I know that I’ll never forget the sorrowful expression of Matías when he saw the man he thinks is his father being apprehended. I knew that my revenge would cause collateral damage (daños colaterales) but I never imagined hurting my own son”.

Tres Veces Ana #31: Murderess Most Foul and A Murder Most Fouled
Part 1:
Once again we’re ogling poor Jennifer’s descent sans benefit of parachute as Ana Leticia looks on. (According to The Splat Calculator at a body weight of say, 120 lbs., poor Jennifer’s fall from grace was the equivalent of being hit by a car going approximately 77 mph. ¡QEPD! ) A-Mimi, her feet back on solid ground once more, looks over her handiwork and drives off. Ho. Hum. And meanwhile…..
Mariano’s sexratary, Adriana, reports she’s been unable to reach his fiancée on either her cellular or at the house. It all goes to voice mail/ the recorder.
In Orlando’s hospital room, Evaristo gives our bruised and contused Orly back his cell phone –sans any files having anything to do with Ana Lucía. He warns our scared little suffering shakedown artist in training that the phone can now be traced by Ev’s tracking devices and so he’ll always be able to keep tables on him and his calls. To be certain that Orly keeps mum, he’s got his grandson there as his personal bodyguard.
At the same time, Santiago and the other architect Jen was supposed to meet with arrive at the job site. The guy tells Santi that he understood she was engaged to be married. Santi figures she thought he’d died or deserted her and it makes sense. They turn towards the entrance to the building and see Jen laid and splayed like a rag doll. Santi races over to her. She gains consciousness momentarily. “—It’s you! Marcelo!!” He has a few seconds to register that she knows him as Marcelo Salvaterra with a flashback to the visit to Iñaki’s new digs and his question to SanMarco if that name sounded familiar to him. Well it does now!

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?

Yago, #27, Wednesday 6/29/16: The Bad Penny
Hi everybody. I was at Best Buy tonight, and I saw Lucio's new smart TV. Or should I say, his ex-TV.
Fidel's having a flashback. A young man is making a quick buck challenging people to a shell game in the park. A young Fidel watches for a while and decides to play. Naturally, he loses. The next customer, a young Camilo, also loses, but does not accept his loss as gracefully as Fidel did. He pulls a knife on the cheater. Fidel comes forward and asks for the honor of the first punch. They smack the guy up, take his money, and run off. Camilo thanks Fidel for his help, and a forevermore friendship is born. Oh and they both have lucky coins. Watch those coins!
In the present, Fidel fingers a coin and tells Yago that his best friend became his worst enemy. That man was Camilo Michell. (Fidel cuts Raul's corpse loose from the chair.) "You have your own revenge to complete," Yago acknowledges. "It's time to begin," Fidel says, stuffing the coin into the dead man's pocket.

Tres Veces Ana - Episode 29 - Evil plans and tearful good-byes
Mariano’s future love interest (we can only assume based on
the supposed amount of dislike being thrown around) Viviana is having lunch
with Julietta, who happens to be Daniel’s mother. Julietta laments her son is
not the same ever since falling in love with Ana Leticia. They spend some time
discussing her tragic fate of losing her husband after just one year and sounds
like in light of that Julietta is giving her a break. Viviana thinks that
perhaps Daniel might have another chance with Ana Le.

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.

Yago #26. Tuesday June 28, 2016. The Pawns Are Turning Against Their King
Hello Patio Pals! We’ll have to make do with a summary until a volunteer takes over this recapping spot.
Lorenzo is the one who received a bullet as a result of the scuffle with Teo. The next scene shows medical personnel scrambling to save a patient who went into cardiac arrest. Lorenzo starts narrating: Ever since he lost his father, he has been wondering how his own death would be like. Would his dad be waiting for him in the great beyond? The patient is revived. Unfortunately, it’s that old crook Damián. Young Lorenzo is well and truly dead. Abel is devastated following the loss of his vato/young man, his “keed” (kid). Teo apologizes. Abel says he is the one who failed Lorenzo. He is equally responsible for the death of Lorenzo, just as he is to blame for the death of Lorenzo's father, Facundo. Later on, when Abel and Teo prepare to bury the body in the woods, Abel removes Lorenzo’s chain, the one that once belonged to his dad. He grabs Lorenzo’s lifeless face between his hands and, fighting back the tears, he bids him farewell: “Hey kid! I hope that you’re finally going to be OK, that you will be with your Papá and that you’re finally at peace. I also hope we see each other again, somewhere, some time.” In a later scene, Abel visits Facundo’s grave to give him back his son’s chain, the chain of “their” kid. He assures him that not a day goes by where he doesn’t think about him. If there is justice in this life, Abel knows he will be punished for what he did. Getting his just deserts will be a relief for Abel. He would finally be at peace.

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.

Sueño de Amor (SdA) #74. Monday June 27, 2016. Nothing Like A Solid Slab of Lala Cheese To Free You From These Love Pains!
 |
| 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:

Yago, #25, Monday 6/27/16: "Doesn't it feel good to tell the truth?"
Hold onto your hats. When Yago characters show up for an episode, they mean business!
We begin with a memory. I hadn't yet figured out how to do captions during this part so I'm not sure exactly what was said, nor even whether it was Yago's memory or Lucio's. But Yago and Lucio are playing in Jonas's workshop, and then Lucio is getting scolded by his mother (or grandmother). Yago says Lucio should have thought twice before betraying Omar.
In the present, Lucio's had a giant smart TV delivered. What a great daddy! What a nice house full of fine things!
Alejandra/Susana and Damian/Rufino chat in Dam's car. He invites himself to her apartment, but she says no, her roommates are too nosy. Dam says congratulations, you passed my first test. Now pass my second test: give me your real name. Ale says she'll tell him hers if he tells her his. Dam says he's Oscar Bravo. (Oh, come on. And I'm Juliet Sierra! Meet my friend, Victor Whiskey X-Ray Yankee Zulu!) She says she's Felicia Requena. "Doesn't it feel good to tell the truth?" Damian asks. She gets out of the car and pretends to fumble with her keys as he drives off. Then she takes off down the street. Dam in fact only pretended to drive away; now he follows her on foot.

Also, consolidating some scenes below, so don't be thrown off by that!
Creepy Isidro and Rodrigo (Abue's former beau) are discussing the sale of Creesidro's lands. Creesidro did not anticipate selling that soon and wants to wait. Suddenly Ramiro appears and is introduced as Rodrigo's new accountant. Rodrigo asks Ramiro to walk Creesidro to his taxi and then return. The taxist is, as we remember, Santiago. Of course right then, the hotel doorman asks Santi to do a lap around the building and not occupy the space in front of hotel. Just as he takes the said lap, he of course misses both Ramiro and Isidro, so once again the best friend reunion is successfully avoided by the telenovela deities.

Un Camino Hacia el Destino-Week 19 (June 27, 2016) 1st Half
We left off with Fernanda conducting the inmate orchestra and playing her violin for the Directora of the Prison and various inmates who chose not to register. It sounded pretty professional. La Malquerida got to sing. She has a lovely voice. This can only result in lifting the spirits and self-esteem of the inmates. For Fernanda personally, we will have to wait and see. She has a lot of juggling--Carlos & Marissa, Amelia, Maribel, La Malquerida, Felipe. Since she told off Camila, she has no idea what has happened to our Junior lying traitor. She has no idea what Luis is up to, nor Mariana.
Glory be, the only thing grand that happened on Friday is that Pedro found Don Fernando in The Only Asylum in Mexico that needed landscaping.
There will be plenty to discuss, so carry on, Caminantes.

Tres Veces Ana #21: SHOW ME THE MONEY!
Wellllllll..it would seem that Orlando is Hell bent on cashing in on other people’s strife with his proof of life that Ana Lucia is alive!!!!!!! He tells Ramiro he wants A-Lucky’s rich relatives to ante up antes or nothin’ doin’. Ram feels deceived! Well he was, says Orly. She’s his friend and he only wanted to protect her and he was scared for her! Ram says show me this photo or I go. Ok. Orly opens his phone and shows him a photo of A-Lucky at a danse class rehearsal. Wow! The likeness! It’s her! She really is alive! Oh, and BTW, she has no memory of the accident Ram’s been talking about. Oka, then why is she still called Ana Lucia if she doesn’t have any memory of her past? Seems she was wearing some bracelet with her name on it.
Ok. So, Ana-Lu is having problems concentrating on her new acrobatic project. AniBal, aka AniBaldy, screams at her that her friend has her head on straight and so should she! Maribel secretly smiles a contemptuous grin as Ana takes it verbally on the chin. Later in break Bel beams at her friend and asks where she was and what’s going on inside her head. Ana-Lu lies that Santiago took her to San Nicolas to pick up cash owed by Dona Chana. And Orlando? Oh, they had it out with him. The guy’s nuts! He sliced Santi’s 4 tires all to hell! Just out of jealousy! “-Tough nuts! I’ve never led him on!” Well, Bel left town without word cuz she was mad at the dude for ignoring her affections. She here now with her BFF pursuing her dream!

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.

The one when Luca spent the whole sunday with baby Luquita
♪, ♫ When you are born ♪, ♫
Skipping sunday church services, Anastasia shows up with bambini Luquita in her arms to spend the day with daddy and block him from seeing Patricia. He, who doesn't have enough time during the week to take care of Patricia's needs, will have to spend time with his baby. Things are getting complicated for Luca, who in only one day will have to learn how to change diapers, feed, and burp the three month old italian baby.

Un Camino Hacia el Destino-Week 18 (June 20, 2016) 2d Half
While we waited out the Copa America games, two poets-in-residence offered these for our diversion. Watch out for those Bread Crumbs, folks!
Luis is still nursing a grudge.
From this he never will budge.
He argues in court
'Cause he's of that sort
But won't win 'less he pays off the judge.
:
Louy is such a jerk
Who other people he loves to hurt
Surely when his time comes
He will be eating Crumbs
For others he poisons their bread
Maybe he'll be the one to eat it and be dead.

Sueño de Amor (SdA) #71. Tuesday June 21, 2016. My Internet Keeps Cutting Off. It's Telling Me Not To Watch.

| How do you like them guns? I got mine by drinking copious amounts of Lala Milk and living at the gym! |
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.
