Tres Veces Ana, #117, Monday Oct 17, 2016: Three's a Crowd

Ramiro wakes up and is surprised to see Valentin and Facundo. He's even more surprised to realize that he can't feel his legs. Valentin laughs and says bwahahaha, before you marry Ana Laura you ought to see for yourself what it is to be "differently-abled."

AnaLu and Ana Laura are chatting intensely when AnaLet barges in, strikes a pose, and demands, "why are you suddenly all quiet? Am I interrupting something?" Ana Laura solemnly lets Leticia know that yes, she is interrupting. AnaLet asks what they were talking about. AnaLu smiles and says, "about you." Leticia continues to stand there like a department store mannequin.

Mariano asks Marcelo to leave, but Marcelo doesn't want to leave without AnaLu. He warns that AnaLet could have an attack of hysteria at any moment, and since he's signed the divorce papers, she's no longer Marcelo's problem. AnaLu's love is all he wants in the world, and he won't give her up.

Valentin gloats some more about Ramiro's paralysis, "your legs have become a burden," and says he and Ramiro will now be on equal footing (no he didn't say it that way) in their fight for Ana Laura's affection, though I don't think it's really a fair competition unless Ramiro drinks a fifth of tequila too.

Tres Veces Ana 116: Facundo Hires Dr. Demento and Two Halves Are Whole

Working on the recap - Edit.

Pate 1~~

[--This, Halloween and Rocky Horror Picture Show fans, was right up your alley.  It was definitely one to say “Get your freak show on.”—edit.] 

Refridito: Alone in her jail cell, a pensive Soledad misses and mourns her wrecked relationship with Ana Lucia and recognizes, finally, how selfish she was to have kept the girl as her own all these years; Ana Lucia, meanwhile is having another nightmare, but this time she dreams of the accident and awakes to the realization Ana Leticia didn’t try to help keep her from floating away in the river.  (Now, let’s see if it sticks in her craw or not like it does Viewerville.)

El Nuevo:
Ana Lucia hears Javier sobbing in the sheets and learns he’s crying over having seen his mother in Iñaki’s apartment a few weeks earlier and wasn’t even aware of it.  She abandoned them when they were tiny boys and he’s missed her and is angry at her but needs her in his life still.  They ask each other if either of them will ever forgive the mother figures in their lives.

The next morning Marcelo watches in amazement as Ana Lucia dangles in the fabric ropes.

Speaking of spellbinding, Mariano and Viewerville listen, enchanted by the piano music supposedly coming from Ana Laura’s adroit digitery along the ivories.  He heads outside and finds Valentin waiting for “his BFF,” Ana Llora, Queen of the quivering upper lip.  They argue and Mo tells him to roll his sorry assets down the lane and never darken his niece’s door again!  A Llora comes out and objects to her only friend in the world’s rough and unfair treatment.  Mo tries warning her that Violentin has ulterior motives—“--he is not who he appears to be”-- but TinTin moves in for a kill shot.   “—And you, puritanical Uncle Mariano. Are you who you appear to be?”

A que no me dejas Episode 25 (10.14.16) Nuria is not better than Paulina, she just knows how to lie better.

"Si el mar que por el mundo se derrama,
tuviera tanto amor como agua fría,
se llamaría por amor María,
y no tan sólo mar como se llama" -Francisco Luis Bernárdez

Roughly translated as:

If the sea that covers most of the whole earth
Had so much love as it has cold water
Should be named, for love, María,
And not only sea, as it is named

Yes indeed Patio pals, the sea is making everybody fall (or something like it) in love!!

We start this episode watching Paulina say good bye to her future step father Doctor McDreamy.

She then leaves and star wandering through the streets like a zombie flashbacking Gonzalo and her half brothers. She almost get run over but suddenly someone appears out of thin air saving her. It was Adrián!!
For somebody who is disappointed and heart broken, he looks very concerned about her.
She tells him that she just found out about her father's second family and is undone.
She also almost spill the beans about the sacrifice she made but stops cold leaving Adrián with a huge question mark in his face. Despite him asking her more about that, she changes the conversation and lies saying that she meant to give up being honest having to lie to her mother hiding from her this ugly truth.
Adrián tells her that he is going to Spain for a couple years to study and that he loves her.
He swears he will remember her all his life but she thinks that time will erase all those memories and one day they will be gone. 
Even so, our love story will keep us always connected.

A Que No Me Dejas #23 - Daddy's Home!

After Odette announces that she is going to go get her masters in Spain as well, there is an awkward pause. Adrian tells her that the scholarship process was very extensive and time consuming but Odette tells him that she can pay of it out of pocket. Dario agrees. Odette tells Adrian all she needs is the plan of study and the university information. Adrian tells her it’s in Puerto Esperanza, he can bring it when he goes but Odette wants to go with him. Adrian tells he’s not trying to be rude but he’s on a scholarship and needs to focus on his studies, first and foremost. Odette explains that she wants to obtain her masters and this isn’t a game for her. Dario says that her decision surprised him but it’s an excellent opportunity for her. He and Gisela and Jaime can take care of the agency in their absence. Odette then says that when her and Adrian come back, their studies will help them make the agency one of the best in the country. Adrian is still not all too happy about these turn of events.

Karen gives Micaela the money Paulina gave her to start the business in Playa Linda. She explains since Paulina won’t be moving there anymore she would like to return it. Micaela tells her that she’ll give it to her when she says her because she has moved out of the house and into Camilo’s house. She asks Karen not to say anything because her parents think she’s still with her.

Karen decides to leave because Paulina hurt her and she doesn’t want to talk about her anymore.

Nuria tells Leonel that she will start working in the hotel. Leonel laughs it off and tells her that working in the hotel is not the cake walk she thinks it is; it’s a lot of hard work.

Tres Veces Ana # 114 - And the bombshells just keep on coming!

Though we ended last on a potential Inaki resurrection scene, we start with our star crossed lovers this time. Ana Lu asks Marcelo why he decided to remove tattoo. He has a good response – though he would love to tell her it was done to conquer her, he actually removed this tattoo for himself. He then drops the bomb of Inaki being Ana Le’s lover.

And we are back to our: is Inaki or isn’t he alive storyline, and it looks like he has at least two lives indeed! Inaki is alive and kicking. Ana Le wants to know how he entered, with the police there. Well, our bloodied up, drenched in rain, recently shot, small-time-swindler-turned-killer, has a bit of news for her: Marcelo is not the only real man around here. She should have seen him climbing through the window in this rain with this gaping wound! Ana Le is duly impressed, but Inaki hasn’t finished his prepared speech yet. He was only afraid of losing her, even though she left him there all alone. She could have come back, but she didn’t. The fact that Facundo had a gun is a sorry excuse in his book of eternal love. The wounded lion then grabs her a little too feverishly and pulls her into a kiss, with the amount of energy that is casting some doubt on the tearful story of a hurt man making his way from the forest to the city, up the wall and through the window.

Tres Veces Ana, #112, Monday Oct 10, 2016: Triple Play

That's "Triple Play" if you're counting slappers, and "Double Play" if you're counting gunshots.

Mariano tries to get AnaLu to change her mind about avoiding the family. If she won't stay at the mansion, she could at least come to his house so he can make up for lost time with her. She won't do it. She doesn't know where she'll go - maybe San Nicolas for a while. He wants her to travel the world. She'll think about it. No, she agrees - as long as Soledad can get out of jail. Mariano doesn't want to let a criminal get away with her crimes. AnaLu says although it's not easy to forgive her, she can't hate Soledad and won't let Mariano speak that way of the woman who gave her such a good and happy life. And if Mariano won't do it, AnaLu will still have the help of Viridiana!

At the jail, Valeria's getting out tomorrow, she tells Soledad. Soledad is happy for her. Val says she won't forget her, and will talk to the family on her behalf. Soledad says nah, I'll just rot here in jail. I've lost my freedom forever, but I'll always have my memories of AnaLu's childhood.

Leonor tells Ernestina of Ana Laura's temper tantrum. She didn't go off with a driver - she took one of the cars. This is alarming, because she's never driven, but Leo says Laura reminded her that Uncle Mariano taught her to drive and she's not as useless as everyone thinks!

A Que No Me Dejas (AQNMD) #21. Monday October 10, 2016. Alakazam! Nuria Turns A Bottle Of Tequila Into A Baby Daddy And The Gonz Makes Adrián’s Drug Charges Disappear!

At a glance

-- Post-breakup tears for some and high hopes for others.
-- Leonel lets Nuria think he slept with her but he didn’t. Nuria lets Leonel think she is a virgin but she isn’t. This should get interesting when she tries to pin her baby on Mr. Peanut Butter and Slime.
-- Nuria discovers that her daddy was the one who planted drugs in Adriáns hotel room and that he got the young man released from jail by bribing an official. She agrees to keep her mouth shut if The Gonz makes her his successor. I know, the joke tells itself!

A closer look

Lying on the concrete slab of his prison cell, Adrián recalls his happier memories with Paulina and wallows in self-pity. “Our love? The only idiot who was in love was me! What an idiot (I was)!” On the beachfront promenade, Pau squeezes a few sad tears, partly for ruining Adrián’s life and partly, I would assume, for her sudden onset of homelessness.

Tres Veces Ana #105: Marcelo Turns Marshmallow; Ana Laura Remains A Maddeningly Maniulpulated Mark

At the restaurant, meanwhile, the two cons keep conning the consternating concerned.  Ana Laura’s credulity is mind numbing as she once again takes Valentin’s word over Ramiro’s and takes her sister’s lude, crude street-urchin (or more like ‘New Jersey Whore’) act as the missing Ana Lucia for gospel.  This Ana Lucia is a nasty, greedy, money-grubbing, bitter slut and 180◦  out of sync with the real Ana Lucia.  She proceeds in telling Ana-makes-me-weary-like-she-should-be-more-leery-Lora the truth but with a nasty, sleazy twist.  A Lora wants to help her sister become a better person, to see the error of her ways now, to take the moral high ground now that she knows she’s their sister.  (Get a damned puppy!)

This A Lucia resents she got cheated out of growing up on the right side of the tracks.  Doesn’t matter to her whether SantiMarco was married or not.  She was happy to be his lover and even suggested it!  She could give a rat’s rump what any of them, especially, Ana Leticia thinks about it, too!  “—Why should I always come out the loser in all of this, anyway?????”

At the same time, Soledad has a visit from Viridiana.  She has faith in Sole that despite doing such an unforgivable thing, she’s not a bad person deep down.  She’s still on her side (especially if it means being on the opposite side of Mariano).

Julieta visit’s Vi’s dress shop and is rude to Ceci while waiting for her friend to give her a hand out and a place to stay.

A que no me dejas Episode 20 (10.07.16) All lies matter, including the white ones and even the ones in the flashbacks...

After the dust has settled, Karette has to apologize to Flavio and after doing it, she complaints about Paulette's "betrayal". I guess she calls betrayal the fact that this time she was left out of the lie, since only Camilo is the one who knows what's going on.

In the precinct where Adrián has been taken, Camilo talks to his father about the "secret" also known as the "lie" that involves him and Paulette. When she returns, she says that Adrán rejected Alfonso as his lawyer. She feels devastated and Camilo tries to take her with him away from this place. While doing that, Juliette gets there with Odette and Jaime and quickly attacks Paulette because she was not expecting to see her here. Juliette blames Gonzalo and threats Pau yet again with the documents she have, saying that even when the wedding was interrupted, she can still send Mr Murat to jail, so the best thing is to take Adrián out.
-I will sink you all! -can be heard all the way out while Pau leaves with Camilo.

A Que No Me Dejas (AQNMD) #19. Thursday October 6, 2016. Worst Wedding Ever! Adrián Lands In Jail On False Charges Right After His Bride Jilts Him!

Ain’t this a vitch!
At a glance 

-- Adrián has a VERY bad day. Paulina dumps him at the wedding venue in front of everybody. He learns that she has feelings for Camilo and she is going to give that relationship a try. And to top it all off, his ex-future-father-in-law frames him for drug trafficking and gets him arrested right after the humiliating public breakup. 
 
-- If you’re not watching this show, you gotta catch up and jump in! It is awesome.com! 

A closer look

Julieta intercepts Paulina outside the beauty parlor and shows the beaming bride the documents proving that her father swindled his business partners out of their personal fortunes. It’s Pau’s decision: her dad’s freedom or her marriage to Adrián. The only way Julieta could forgive the fraud committed against her late father is if Pau gives up Adrián. Paulina tries to reason with the unreasonable: What happened between their parents is neither hers nor Adrián’s fault. They love each other and if they are not together, they will be utterly miserable. Julieta is adamant to make Paulina pay for taking Adrián away from her. The nutter sister adds that Adrián will be much happier with her. She warns Pau one last time, before jumping on her broom and taking off: Either she cancels the wedding or the entire Murat family will fall from grace (caer en la desgracia)!

Ramiro’s dad kills himself. Again. And Ramiro cries. A lot. He also says stuff, but he was crying and I was bored sooo, yeah, I think he said something about not being loved, but who knows.

Sue and Analu convo – upshot; now they both understand all the weird things and they should forgive Sole and work together to help get her out of jail.  (sidenote: this whole nobody really loves me thing Analu is doing really grates and seems a little self pitying and self indulgent of her)

Inaki calls BadAna and tries to get a few precious minutes of her time to tell her about Orlando’s blackmail but she’s too busy getting her nails done and shopping so he’ll have to wait till she has time for him, byee.

A Que No Me Dejas #18 - How Many Snakes Does It Take to Stop a Wedding?

As Paulina and Adrian have their picnic/love-making session, the world them continues to crumble…

Monica is helping the kids with homework when Elisa walks in. Elisa tells her she was gossiping with the neighbor but Monica sees something in her face. She asks if something is wrong. Elisa tells her it’s nothing…she was just thinking how she should buy a new dress for Paulina’s wedding. She barely goes out and she thinks this wedding is going to be special.

Monica asks if she thinks it’s going to be really fancy. Elisa tells her she doesn’t know but she’s really excited to go and she wants to dress nice. She encourages Monica to do so as well. Monica is still apprehensive about what Gonzalo might say but Elisa tells that he’s been really bad to her lately so she shouldn’t even tell him. Monica agrees.

Camilo tells Karen that her mother is going to tell Ines as soon as Paulina gets married. He tells Karen the whole story. Camilo is still unsure if he should tell Paulina but Karen tells him they need to tell her, after Raquel tells Ines, that they knew everything so they don’t have any lies between them. Camilo tells her that she will have to tell her since he will be gone by then. They decide to go get a drink because they both (definitely!) need it.

Alfonso is still bothered by the fact that Gonzalo chose another lawyer to handle Mauricio’s case. Raquel doubts he’d want to be his friend after he knows that he hit Ines. Alfonso is livid; he then agrees that Raquel should tell Ines the truth. Raquel is happy he agrees but she has to wait because Ines’ health is delicate.

Tres Veces Ana # 109

Discussion page for all of you, patio pals, while our very own Ms. Cynthia Hampton (who has very graciously offered to recap for us this episode while I am out of town) prepares a recap! Thanks, Cynthia!

Cynthia's fantastic and entertaining recap posted below:

We open with the scene from yesterday where Viri and Mariano are together and she is telling him that she is not the woman for him and this was a mistake. As she leaves his home, she stops in the doorway, Viri tells herself she should never have let herself fall in love. Meanwhile Mariano says to himself he will never forgive her for this.

Javi is at Inaki’s place showing him the video that Oily gave him that shows that Inaki and Ana Le are getting rid of a body. Javi says, “What did you do? How could you just kill someone and then throw them out like trash?” Inaki says it’s not really like that. It was really self-defense, he was just protecting Ana Le, who is the niece of his boss and he hit this man a little too hard on the counter. He didn’t really mean to kill him. Javi wants to know why he didn’t call the police. Inaki explains that he didn’t think the police would believe him. Javi tells Inaki that Oily now wants a LOT OF MONEY to keep this quiet. Boy Inaki is way over his head this time. What the heck is he going to do to get out of this one?

  • Raquel finds out about Gonzalo's affair with Monica, she tells her husband and son that her loyalty is towards Ines and that once Paulina gets married she is going to spill the frijoles.
  • Every one at Casa Murat will be learning sign language, even the household staff
  • Julieta and her minion discuss how Julieta plans to stop the wedding, Julieta does not give details.
  • Ines still can't forgive Gonzalo for hitting her and I can't blame her.
  • Paulina and Karen bump into Rene and Alan and Paulina invites the boys to her celebration- we will come back to this.
  • Nuria is a major witch to little Mauricio, she grabs his little arms and screams at him that he is an orphan and that she will make his life a living hell. Umm, b*tch, Mau is deaf, he can't hear you, you fool! Also you already gave him this speech in an episode a week ago.
  • Maybe Nuria is mad because she's not getting any from Leonel- who she accuses of being gay.
  • Leonel denies this and says he just wants to treat her like a princess and with respect, they end up about to do *it* in the bathroom of the club they went to but Leonel makes it stop before it goes further.

Tres Veces Ana, #107, Monday Oct 3, 2016: The One and Only

I missed the first half-minute or so of this, so please let me know if I missed anything during that brief but potentially crucial window!

Tin gloats that AnaLet knows she can't win without him on her side. He warns her not to judge him by his appearance. He can be more dangerous than she. She can't control her impulses, but he's the lord of patience. "The last chesspiece is in place to kill the king," he says. AnaLet retorts, "with me or against me, I can make you into pieces."

Tin says he can destroy AnaLet. "I know you were at Gina's place when she died."

Marcelo rummages through the contents of the safe deposit box. There are several black folders. Marcelo peers wide-eyed at one particular piece of paper that we don't get to see, and intones with amazement: "Rodrigo Casasola!"

In the hospital, seeing a doctor look at a clipboard triggers a memory for Remedios. She came to visit Santi in the hospital after his first accident. She found a man looking at Santi's chart... she realizes that's where she'd seen Rodrigo before.

In the present, the doctor tells Remedios that all is looking well.

At Casa Murat, after the slap-and-swoon, Gonzalo acts repentant and says he is ready to do anything to make Inés forgive him. Does that include accepting Paulina’s marriage to Adrián? No, he’ll never accept that union. Then, as far as Inés is concerned, they have nothing to talk about.

Tres Veces de Ana #86: Shocked and Over-Awed



Parte 1~~
Viridiana shows up at The Realty Place demanding to see Mariano to give him a piece of her mind about his having locked up Soledad for kidnapping.

Back in county lockup, aka “la cárcel”, Solebad admits to Valeria she’s bad company cuz she’s very introverted and keeps to herself.  Just then Sole is taken out to speak with “visitors."

At La Cruz Roja, Rodrigo enters Remedios’s room to introduce himself and offers to pay her expenses per Ramiro’s request, Ramiro being his very capable employee.  She refuses Rod, explaining that her husband left her well provided for.  She does run a rooming house of sorts out of her big, drafty old home, but it’s because she cannot stand to be alone.  She takes in roomers and now the place is full of life and energy—just the way she likes it.  However, she doesn’t need anyone’s help financially.  She tells him she’s certain she knows him from somewhere and will have to try to recall [hacer memoria = search one’s memory] from where she remembers him.  She thanks him and Rod leaves.

Tres Veces Ana # 105

Discussion page while Sneaky gets a recap ready!

Sneaky's recap below:



Evaristo is glad to see Marcelo and his steely resolve. Ev wants to die so much he even hands over the key. Apparently Remedios's husband put whatever's in the box in there, but Marcelo won't kill Ev, he wants him to suffer like Marcelo 

suffered w/o memory. Ev tearfully begs Marcelo to kill him but Marcelo walks away and leaves him there (alone. In the middle of nowhere. This is how those news stories about endangered elders w/memory problems getting lost far away from 

home happen ya know) 

Llora's crying spate is over (for now) but she wants Ramiro to stay w/her and hug her and maybe more - will she or won't she?

A Que No Me Dejas #13 - With Friends Like These Who Needs a Nuria or Julieta

Ines hears Gonzalo talking to Monica over the phone about her son’s disappearance. Monica tells him she tried to call Alfonso first but he didn’t answer so she called the police but she needs his help. Gonzalo tells her she’s on her way. Ines runs out of the room but isn’t able to reach Gonzalo in time. Ines recognized the voice of the woman as Monica’s (oh oh!)

Paulina and Mauricio meet Adrian at the beach. Adrian brings Mauricio a gift and then kisses Paulina and hopes she brought her bathing suit today; he couldn’t sleep last night thinking of her (hubba hubba!)

In the boat where Rene stashed himself, the fishermen find him. They think he was trying to steal the boat and want to return to shore to go to the police. Rene jumps off the boat because he’s not going back.

Gonzalo and Monica are in a fight. Gonzalo can’t believe Monica let their son run away. Monica tells him it’s not her fault and he shouldn’t blame her because she has had to educate them by herself. Gonzalo proposes they wait it out until he runs out of food, etc. but Monica wants to look for him now.

At the Fonseca household, breakfast is full of tension. Raquel makes it clear that she doesn’t want fights like the one that happened yesterday in public again, no matter what the reason. Alfonso doesn’t tell Raquel anything despite her questions and Camilo leaves the table bothered.

The fishermen are going after Rene but he’s getting tired of swimming and stops mid stroke.

Tres Veces Ana # 104 - And this is why you should always ask to see your realtor’s credentials



Holy guacamole, we wanted some action and today’s episode certainly delivered. So let’s dive right in. 

Santiago and Mariano are having a heart-to-heart. Mariano asks many questions with his usual holier-than-thou attitude. Santi is very respectful and apologetic – he will leave the lives of both sisters as promised. Santi thinks there is no need to tell anything about no surgery to Ana Le and Ana Lu doesn’t know about the tumor to begin with. He also won’t have Remedios with him, so as to not compromise her safety again. Mariano thinks he would need someone – perhaps a woman he loves as a mother – by his side throughout this ordeal. Mariano is also sad to know that he will see Marcelo/Santiago die. There was a time they were friends. What about Facundo – does he know? No, and Santi doesn’t consider him as a father. Santi will let the tumor kill him, and he poetically goes into a mad discourse on tumor being the weapon destined to kill the murderous no-good Marcelo. And his, Santi’s, new life served to bring the sisters together. He really is the vehicle of the destiny (and we should petition to rename the novella to “One man, one path, one destiny….oh, and the separated triplets”).

Santi wasn't so saintly, and yet somehow
he glows in the dark

Rehash: AnaLu, still in her circus tent, tells Santi that he lied to her and is fooling himself. He denies this, blaming Marky Marc. She tells him to shut it, he's the worst thing that happened to her. She then rips his and her sister's photo and tosses it at him, like the basura he's become. She tells him not to seek her out again. She leaves with the circus tent billowing behind her in the wind. Cue sad music and tears, Santi begs the camera man for forgiveness.

Tres Veces Ana, Monday Sept 26, 2016: Bonus - Advice from the Patio

Howdy! We have no episode tonight, so in lieu of a recap I offer this silly advice column for the Anas and their friends.

Dear Patio: I have my boyfriend's wedding ring. I've been planning to give it to his wife when I meet her, but I just found out she's my long-lost sister, so now giving her the ring just seems awkward and a little mean. Should I do it anyway?

Also, I'd like to bring gifts when I meet her and my other sister. What do you suggest?

Sincerely, Ana the Acrobat

Tres Veces Ana #102: And The Truth Shall Set Who Free? I Think I'd Rather Be Chained

Ramiro and Ana Laura have had another lover’s spat.  They make up, vowing NEVEREVER to have another.  Just then Ernestina, La Gran Abuela, makes a grand gesture of sanctioning premarital passion by presenting the two an all-expenses paid 3 day getaway holiday.  (Dunno, but having Granny pay for my first out-of-wedlock, secret fantasy roll in the hay just seems sooooo wrong.)

Samuel and Mariano discuss the fine and finer points of Mo’s first and second encounters with Soledad and Ana Lucia.  “—Instead of contacting us she kept the girl!  She kidnapped my niece.”  So, first off, Mo wants Sam to change his will.  He’s now giving 50% to Ana Lucha and 25% each to the other triplets.  This will even the score for 20 years of financial deprivation she suffered.  Sam says that’s all well and good, Bro, but stop and think how Ana Leticia will react to this. (Good catch, Sammy Boy.  It ain’t gonna be pretty.)

A que no me dejas Episode 10 (9.23.16) Lies have expiration dates. Check them before you lie.

Paulina and Adrián's relationship has become a web of lies and everybody and everything is getting trapped in it. Yes! Like a black hole of lies!

Nuria lied.
She said she had an exam and that she was going to a party and she went to Beach Pretty to offer herself to Adrián and tell him that Paulina had replaced him with Camilo. Adrián can be ugly but is not stupid, so he didn't believe her and threw her out of the room. In any case, she planted the seed of doubt in his mind and he went to Port Hope to verify if in reality Paulina was with Camilo. AND SHE WAS! Of course Adrián got to the hospital in the precise moment when the doctor told them that little Mau was out of the coma and Paulina was hugging Camilo so after Adrián saw that, Camilo got a knuckle sandwich and Adrián left without listening to anything Paulina had to say. 

Life is fair (when you lie)
When Nuria was arriving to Port Hope after the delay caused by sleeping with Napoleón aka Luis, a random guy she picked up at the bar who then robbed her, and after asking Leonel for a favor so she could return home, Adrián was leaving, so they are both witnesses to Paulina's effort to talk to him and explain what really happened. Adrian refuses to listen.
When Nuria sees Adrián go to the boarding area ignoring Paulina, while Paulina is crying like a Magdalena, she thinks life is fair. That's how messed up her mind is.

A Que No Me Dejas #9 Thursday 9/22/16 The best laid plans of mice and men often go awry (Full recap)

v *    Camillo over hears Gonz talking to Leo about Monica’s expense sheet

v * Monica gives a threat to Al, Tell Gonz he better be at my house tonight or else hell will open up!

v *    Nurizika virus goes to Adrian’s hotel room.  My sis is back with her ex, so lets have revenge sex! 

Nurizika tells Adrian that less than two seconds after he and Pau broke up she was back with her ex Camilo, so he should feel completely free to get his game on with her.  Adrian isn’t buying her lies or her cheap offer.  He has no interest in her.  Nurzika tells him that not only is it true but her parents are all about it.  They luurve Camilo!

Meanwhile the exes discuss the lie they are embroiled in.  Pau feels so bad that Camilo is having to continue the lie longer than what she had planned.  The situation with Mau has complicated things between her and Adrian and she will not be able to marry him just yet.  Camilo has no problem playing her boyfriend for as long as it takes.  A very grateful Pau has no idea how to thank her pal.

Tres Veces Ana #101

Sneaky will have a recap for us tomorrow, until then a place to discuss

Sneaky's recap below!


(Today on apologies w/sneaky two shoes (which seems to be a weekly show)  - I missed the first, almost to the first commercial break. I have no excuse, nor any good reason. I was just daydreaming and forgot to set my recorder and by the time I realized I was missing it it was 12-13 min past the hour. Sorry:(  What I did see though was chock full of irritating tropes )


Ram & Llora sweet talk/convo Abue has a surprise for them, Ram looks concerned over what it could be- Analu eavesdrops and learns afterward that not only does he have a novia they're getting married and Analu is invited to the wedding as "the guest of honor" (which she should find weird but doesn't say anything about)

Chana takes the opportunity to 'I told you so' to Ramiro about accepting that gun. He acknowledges she was right and will never doubt her again. She also reminds him he's the only one who can save the girl.

Tres Veces Ana # 100 - To tell or not to tell – that is the question…


Recent episodes featuring this tio-niece bond and dramatic interludes of doubting your identity have been putting me in the Shakespearean mood (not that our blue-eyed Tio could resemble anything close to a hunchback), so here we go….but not before this little plug for you, Patio friends: I will be out of town next week on a business trip and unlikely to have the opportunity to either watch the show or keep up with the patio comments. Would anyone (my fellow brilliant recappers, or someone new even perhaps wanting to give it a try?) be willing to volunteer to be a guest recapper for next Wednesday’s (9/28) episode? I would really appreciate it, so please let me know in the comments below and if need be, I can get a page up for that episode, where someone could post their notes/recap.


With that, here we go! Beware, my dears – some consolidation ahead. Brevity is the soul of wit, I have heard, though writers of some of the scenes below have not.

A Que No Me Dejas #8 - Place your bets now as the race for "Who Discovers Gonzalo's Affair First" Begins!

Hello Everyone! The chess pieces keep dancing around the board so let's get started….

Adrian is appalled that Paulina would even suggest breaking up. He says he understands Mauricio is a priority but he doesn’t want to break up. At that moment, Gonzalo arrives and Paulina cuts the call short.

Gonzalo gives money roses and a pearl necklace and a note that says he doesn’t like when they are mad at each other. Monica rejects the gives and Elisa is happy that she has taken a stance against the fact that Gonzalo doesn’t seem to care that much about his other children. She hopes Monica keeps at it.

Karen thinks Paulina jumped the gun at suggesting her and Adrian break up. Mauricio might be in a coma for a while but Karen doesn’t think it’s fair for anyone involved. (I suggest they just go get married in a day then Paulina come back and be with Mauricio but married).

Ines talks to Mauricio about what his life will be once he’s better. (This poor kid has been through the wringer. I hope his life does get better).

Adrian presents the project for the clients to Odette and she’s impressed. He tells her that their relationship is on stand still because of Mauricio and Odette already smells blood in the water. (My god, I can’t imagine people in real life plotting to ruin other people’s relationships but I’m sure it also happens.)

Tres Veces Ana #99 - Split Just Got Real!

Color Guide:
Reader Reaction in Blue
Rhethoric (en espanol) in Green
Avances in Red
Name Key in Purple


Finally, the appropriate hug he's been waiting for

Tio is filled with emotion at finding his niece. Soulless is also filled with emotion, albeit on the opposite spectrum. She wants to talk to AnaLu before she speaks to him, but AnaLu’s had enough of her. They go elsewhere, and he offers to talk over dinner. She’d rather not leave her mom alone just yet, so they decide to address things tomorrow. AnaLu admires her Tio's eyes (yea, we're with you on that honey). They both have light eyes (ojos claros), she now understands why she looks so different from her “mother”. He tells her that the last time he saw her she was about 4, and that her father passed away a long time ago. She wants to know why he abandoned her, did he think of her and love her? (¿por qué me dejó? ¿El pensaba en mí y me quería?), but TioM assures that her papa adored her. Maribel interrupts looking like she walked out of a Jane Fonda workout video, and says they need to talk. AnaLu can't be bothered with Bloody Mari, but TioM's gotta jet & will come back for her the following day. Mariblood waits for her in her room. TioM needs a hug & kiss but AnaLu is boundary-conscious (unlike a certain sobrina), and gives him a friendly embrace. Teardrops, yada yada. TioM turns to see Rem, tells her (voy a arreglar cuentas con su hijado) he's going to sort her godson out. (Viewerville gets tingly all over).
