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.

Sueño de amor, Ep. 95 (7.28.16) With faith and patience (and lies of course) everything is possible -Esperanza Guerrero
"Fe y paciencia"
We start this hodgepodge in Esperanza's bedroom, where she is telling Pato that it could be the weevils talking, but she is seriously considering Ernesto proposal. After all, she can drop dead any minute and this could be like a reward for everything he has done for her lately (greased her hinges) and doin' it she could convince Ricardo once and for all to forget her. Talk about killing two birds with one stone! Just to die afterwards!
Meanwhile, in the De la Colina penthouse, Ernesto gets all the pictures, both digital and printed, from Anastasia, who turning a new leaf in her life, has decided to stop blackmailing the father/grandfather of her son. She wants to start from scratch and confesses that in the beginning, is true that she didn't love Luca but he had that attractive that only GWM have (Guys with money) and after getting to know him better she started to love him, only to spoil it all by sleeping with his father. Bad mistake!

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.
The blow-by blow:

Sueño de amor #94 Wed. 7/27/16 " A Hot Time in the Old RV Tonight or Don't Go Knocking . . . "
So, Pato and Luca have taken off in the big big RV but alas!!!! there is none of the charm of Lucy and Desi in the long long trailer. . . Well, I better get back on track!
BTW the RV has "Te amo" (I love you) written on it in glow in the dark paint. . .and Pato notices it as they leave it to experience their first and only stop at a park where a multi course formal goutmet meal has been set up, prepared and served to the young lovers. Luca asks if Pato wants some champagne. Pato only wants one glass because she does not want it to be like the telenovelas where the girl loves to drink, gets drunk, falls asleep and wake up having made love. She is legal and responsible. The server pours the champagne. Luca tells her how beautiful she is. She herself is just a ball of nerves. Luca tells her there is nothing to be nervous about because it is just the two of them. He tells her how marvelous she is but she is still stuck on having no confidence because she has no sexual experience. He tries to build up her confidence telling her how smart, funny and sexy she is. Sexy? How would he know? she asks. What about their kisses? he asks. They drive him wild. (the more they discuss it the less romantic it gets, UGH!) He loves her; she fascinates him. He is her superhero and he is the sun of her life. They declare their love to each other and kiss. They are serenaded by their own personal love theme "Para estar contigo" by Pau and Davo LIVE! Pato finds it all magical. They watch the chef prepare some sort of flambé for dessert. Pato says it is very (candente) red hot! (fogoso) fiery! They both add (quemador) burning! Luca goes on with (abrasador) blazing! and (hirviente) boiling! Since all of these words could be used to describe their PASSION, Pato and Luca end up kissing. They share dessert, dance and kiss some more.

At a glance
-- Nobody died today.
-- The Red Converse Killer discovered Yago's secret church meetings with Melina.
-- Abel joins BabyFace's counter-revenge alliance.
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?”

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.

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.

Hello Patio Pals! I'm experiencing connectivity problems at home. I only have 5 hours at an internet café to watch three episodes and summarize two; so this is going to be short and sweet.
This is Esperanza. Esperanza doesn’t want to cause problems between Ricardo and Cristina but her cancer revelation put a monkey wrench in their shacking-up plans anyway. Esperanza tries to remedy the situation by telling Ricardo that she no longer loves him, that she wants him to be happy with somebody else and that she is now dating Ernesto. Esperanza has a martyr complex. Don’t be like Esperanza.

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.

IF----THEN, SO---
IF the police find the box of filched bank documents
tomorrow, THEN Luis, Solorsano and Alicia will face jail time immediately, SO
the only things left to wrap up is how the couples will get paired off.
IF Luis is successful in charging Marissa with adultery,
THEN how does he maneuver it SO Super Oh! doesn’t charge him in return.
IF Luis won’t sign the divorce papers, THEN Marissa will
have to kill him, SO she can finally be rid of him (not likely, though).
IF Hernan suffers a real heart attack, THEN Mariana will
nurse him as long as it takes for him to recover, SO she won’t lose her meal-ticket (lean though
it might be).
IF Camila is found, THEN Fer will get a bottle of
single-toned Clairol and do her hair over, SO she won’t look like a cast-off
cast member at Fer’s wedding.

At a glance
-- Ricardo learns that Esperanza has stage 4 stomach cancer and, instead of showing sympathy, he makes it all about him.
-- Cristina breaks up with Ricardo because she feels he should be with his dying ex-fiancée who, just 9 weeks ago, was the love of Ricardo's life, by his own admission. Ricardo says he now loves Cristina and wants to be with her.

Margarita is suddenly very popular in Sueñolandia. She has become everyone’s best friend slash confidante slash surrogate mother. At the end of her visit to Casa Guerrero, Margarita tells Esperanza she has her full support and offers to accompany her to her chemotherapy sessions. She gives her la bendición, praying that the Holy Cross descend from heaven and stretch over Esperanza’s body, defending her from any evil and danger that may befall her.

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.
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.

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.

Sueño de amor, Ep. 90 (7.21.16) The truth about lies is that they're always temporary and end up messing everything to the worse.
Abril is in bed with 40
April has 40.5°C fever and Cristina Vélez Valderrama, the firewoman of sex education, calls the only person that can help her: The doctor? Noooo! Ricardo! Who else? That way when he comes to help her, he can spend the night! CVV doesn't jump without a sandal (no la brinca sin huarache).
Since he raised two kids and has his share on kids ailments, the middleman recommends to fill the bath tub with warm water and put the girl in it. While he is on the cell phone with her, he calls Dr Camargo on his land line.
A few moments later, fever has lowered to 36.5°C thanks to Ricardo, so there's no need to take the girl to the hospital and another more reason to owe Richerd the girl's life. then we can start all over again, how can I repay you, I don't know, I have an idea, you know... the same old routine these two have.
Once the girl is out of danger, Ricardo has a very sexy flashback in full color in advance for what's coming!

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.

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.

Sueño de amor #89 Wednesday 7/20/16
So they didn't wait until the last commercial break on Friday to tell us of the time change on Monday to 3:00 ET/2:00 CT.
Anyway, we left off with a tearful Pato praying to God and begging her dead angel of a grandmother to intercede on her mother's behalf.
Luca and Ricardo arrive at Esperanza's house to take Pato and Esperanza out to dinner. Pato tries to give them a heads up about her mother's decision to shave her head, but Esperanza comes out before she can so they can see with their own eyes. Ernesto tells her how beautiful she looks. She scoffs at that but he tells her it is the absolute truth. Even Luca tells here how good she looks. Esperanza laughingly says she will accept that because he is her daughter's love and she will accept Ernesto's compliment because he says he loves her. After all of the compliments, Esperanza decides it is time to go. They are all smiling.
Back at the hotel, Cristina and Ricardo are planning on spending another night together in Cuernavaca. Ricardo is pouring champagne as he asks the Dr.(of pedagogy Cristina) if she is hungry. Yes, she is. He offers her fruit and champagne. There are strawberries and grapes. What does she want? She chooses the grapes which of course he feeds to her. That does not last long before they are kissing and sharing the same grapes.

With that out of the way....we are getting close to the opening night of the Danzaire show and at Danzaire HQ everybody is preparing for it!
During
her break Ana Lu sits down with Javier and they talk about both of them being
nervous. It’s Ana Lu’s first time with the group, but Javier has been doing it
his whole life, and experience doesn’t really cure nerves. Ana Lu tells Javier
she met Inaki and really liked him and then gushes about Tadeo, who helped her
out multiple times and said such wonderful things to her. She inadvertently interprets
Tadeo’s words on losing his wife to mean that Javier’s and Inaki’s mother is
dead. Javier is surprised his father would say that, and Ana Lu corrects
herself realizing she made a mistake. She feels bad and asks about the mother.
The mother has left them when both kids were small.

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 of
terminally 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
coherence.

Yago #34. Tuesday July 12, 2016. I Know What You Did Last Summer, I Mean, 12 Summers Ago!
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.

I hope she gives you, at the very very least, aggressive periodontitis! |
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!!!)

Yago Capitulo 32 -Beautiful Crime
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.
