El Hotel de los Secretos #41, 3/23/16: Detective Dagoberto Suarez, At Your Service!

Isabel is arguing with Jacinto about how upset Diego is going to be with him for letting her enter through the servants’ entrance, when they run into Angela, who’s trying to see where the assailant who attacked her and Andres went. She tells Isabel and Jacinto that someone just tried to kill Andres! She rushes back to Andres with Isa and Jacinto following. They see the blood on the back of Angela’s head where she was bonked, and then they find the filled syringe and the jug used to hit Angela. Isa makes sure no one touches either item, and wraps them up to preserve fingerprints. Andres wakes up and is utterly perplexed to hear that someone tried to kill him.

Isabel goes to Diego’s dark office to call Ayala to tell him about the murder attempt. She’s unpleasantly surprised when the light goes on, and she sees her husband rising like a vampire from the couch. She continues with her call, and takes about five beats too long to remember to mention her married name to Detective Ayala. Diego notices. Ayala, whose hands are tied by Teresa’s judge friend, has to tell Isa that he can’t go out to the hotel, despite the gravity of the situation. He promises to be there first thing in the morning, and asks her to make sure the evidence is kept safe, and Andres not be left alone. He’s sure the attacker won’t try again tonight. But lock the door! Diego scoffs, and wonders who would want to kill a mere waiter. Isa ignores him.

Sueño de amor #12 3/23/16

Well, away we go!

In Ricardo's classroom, he is telling Pámela that after class they will be going to the principal's office to talk about her gluing him to the chair.

Félix makes a point of stopping by Esperanza's room to talk to her. He recognizes her as the one who made the recording of Silvana. He lets her know he is there to supervise Silvana but also tells her he is all about following the rules. Nobody is above the rules. Salma records it all. Silvana spies from the back of the room.

At Ernesto's office he is telling his investigator that he needs him to find out exactly who this Ricardo is; to use all of his contacts. Ricardo knows all about self defense. There has to be more. Viviana comes in wanting to talk about their son Adrián. She cannot get him to come home because he is afraid of Ernesto. They end up arguing as usual. She blames him. He blames her for babying him. For Viviana, the worst part is that her son is with her "rival". Hearing "rival" just makes Ernesto snicker and smirk.

El Hotel de los Secretos #40, 3/22/16: If At First He Didn't Succeed, He'll Try, Try Again

Julio races to town to tell Det. Ayala that Andres is awake and has told him –along with Angela and Dr. Vicario—that it wasn’t an accident; he was attacked by the Gold Knife Killer and the horse got frightened and the rest is history.  Anyway, Ayala returns to the hotel to question Andres.

Diego has his goon and Jacinto spying on Isabel’s every move.

Dr. Vicario visits Teresa to give her the news that Andres has regained consciousness.  She head downstairs to ahem…“pay her respects”.

Chapter 109: Second Chances

Second chances are often heavily anticipated and highly over-rated. They can be both too late and inadequate to the task. In theory everyone deserves one, but in practice this doesn't always play out. And nobody who looks for them ever thinks about that. – D.D.

Sueño de Amor (SdA) #11. Tuesday March 22, 2016. Don't Kiss Me, Marcel Marceau! They Will Cyberbully Me And Glue Your Pompis To A Chair!

Hello Patio Pals! We’ll have to make do with a discussion page until a valiant volunteer takes over this recapping spot.

The mime bit took me by surprise and, I won’t lie to you, I did yell out an involuntary "What in the...?". However, after the initial shock, I was really charmed, not just by Ricardo’s performance but also by Esperanza’s reaction to it. This actress has won me over and, as much as I love
Cristián de la Fuente, I must admit that his co-protagonist is now the main reason I tune in. 

Pedro, the Friend Zone's poster boy, reconciles Kristel and Erasmo.

Viviana confesses to Luca that she is still in love with Ernesto despite their long-term estrangement.

SuperClingy gives SuperKlutzy permission to go to Járvar.

Ricardo kisses Esperanza in the teachers' lounge. It was a beso chiquitito, short and sweet, but somehow Osorio managed to fudge up the editing.

El Hotel de los Secretos #39, 3/21/16: Another Evening Pass

So Isabel is having dinner with Diego, insofar as she can bring herself to break bread with him, and Diego reminds her that she had something to tell him. "So let's talk now," he says. "I'm all ears!"

Andres is waking up in his bed. "You had an accident on your wedding night," Julio tells him.

Alfredo walks in on Belen nursing "his" son. "You're the wet-nurse? No way! Gimme!" Alfredo says, trying to wrestle the baby away from Belen.

Pasion y Poder #108 20160321 Eladio is a Better Man, but a Boring Villain

This recap has not been edited.  I'm way too tired.  The last ten minutes of this recap is sketchy.  My signal kept going in an out.  I missed a lot of what was going on. 

Julia's still pissed because Nina called her a homewrecker.  She recounts the sordid scene with Humberto.  Humberto tells Julia that Nina has no class.  The hand that "rocked her cradle wasn't wearing a diamond". 

Dani wants to cook Dave a romantic dinner.  As soon as Dave leaves the room, Dani calls Petra-Samantha, who walks her through the preparation. 

Lucita WTF asks Caridad to be her grandmother.  Caridad agrees. 

Julia visits Dave and they argue over the divorce.  Both Dave and Julia are stupid.  Really stupid.  Instead of rejoicing that she is free from her abuser, Julia is obsessing over why Eladio divorced her first.  Who cares?  One less beating to endure, one less egg to fry!  Duh!  Dave who has forgotten that Eladio sired Franco and boinked the Ratt reminds Julia that men don't like to be cheated on.  Julia's all like...if Eladio loved me, he wouldn't have divorced me!  Anyways, Julia finds the keys that Dani conveniently left on his counter.  Dave tells Julia that he doesn't owe her an explanation.  Julia is shocked that Dave didn't realize that Dani just pulled an alternative version of the old marking your territory by "leaving your underwear at his house trick".  Or is it the old leave an item at his house trick so that he will have to contact you again.

-- Tracy agrees to sign the divorce papers in exchange for custody of the kids.
-- Ernesto gives Pato back her scholarship and hires thugs to assault Ricardo.
-- Kristel gets a job at the only antro in Mexico City.
 

A closer look

We get a repeat of the restaurant scene where Pedro asks Ricardo for the reason of his two-decade-long disappearing act. Before he can answer, we’re teleported to the constructora. Outside, the Three Stooges attempt to dodge security to help Nacho talk to his wife, Begoña; and inside, Ernesto instructs Arleth to find out who the owner of Instituto Palacios is. He also asks her to contact Murillo from business intelligence for more in-depth information on Ricardo.

Un Camino Hacia el Destino-Week 5 (Mar 21, 2016)

The Three Hombres and The Women Who Love Them

Luis Montero--The man with a plan
  • Amelia Altamirano del Alamo de Perez, younger daughter of rich rancher, Fernando Altamirano. She fell in love with Luis (older, but contemporary in age), sometime after finishing her prepa 19 years ago. They had at least one encounter al aire fresco and she ended up pregnant. He left her in the lurch, saying neither she nor the bebe were in his plans for the future. She pined for him for the next 19 years while married to Pedro, the Altamirano estate gardener (whom she had treated as an older brother to have fun with), who saved her from the disgrace of having a bastard child. Although always his favorite, her father kicked them out of the house anyway.
  • Mariana Altamirano del Alamo de Sotomayor, older daughter of Fernando. She's Amelia's envious sister, primarily because she was not the favored child. She fell in love with Luis, probably from seeing him with Amelia. He never showed any interest in her. Her father later forced her into a convenient, but loveless marriage to a rich (but ambitious) widower, Hernan. He has a daughter, Camila, from his first marriage. Mariana doesn't like her around. The couple is childless. Her interest in and immediate obsession with Luis is rekindled by a visit to his law offices with her father. She claims she's been in love with him for over 19 years. He is not interested in her amorous advances, but makes nice because she has information on Amelia he wants.
  • Marissa Gomez Ruiz de Montero, widowed rich bank president, considerably older than Luis. She seduced him into marriage 19 years ago by offering him a trip to Europe with her and her then 10-year old son, Carlos, to live and study to become a lawyer. He accepts without hesitation--it was his plan. She is now cognizant of her age and is afraid to lose him to a younger woman. She's still in love with this jerk. He has cooled to Marissa's bedroom advances. (P.S. Her son, Carlos, hates him.)
  • Andrea, leggy, young, blonde assistant to Isabela, the owner of a beauty/spa academy. Where she met Luis is not clear, but she fell in love with him and is blind as to what he is really like. He, on the other hand, knowing where his pocket change comes from, uses her for some afternoon delight and either thanks her or argues with her on the way out of the bedroom. She has decided that getting pregnant would be the ideal way to get him to leave his wife. So far, we've only been privy to one jealous temper tantrum from her when she caught him in his office with Mariana hanging all over him and looking like a kiss was happening.

El Hotel de los Secretos #38, 3/18/16: One bad night and one good night coming up

Sorry for the length, I just couldn't shorten it and not take anything out that wasn't pertinent to the story.

We open with the boys from the hotel who helped with the mining explosion returning home, all dirty and tired. They are met by Benjamin who informs them that they have to make up their time absent from their jobs. What as ass.

Diego awakes to the cold reality of his new marriage, alone in the marital bed, while Isabel is checking on the baby and Sofia.  Sofia just wants to be left alone, Isabel just wants to help her. Perhaps her milk ducts are clogged, she gives her advice for that. Teresa comes in and sees the fussing baby, she said she’s going for Belen, the nodriza, wet nurse, which is a surprise to Isabel.

Julio is bringing coffee to the newest guest sitting in the lawn. Cecilia turns to see him and Julio has the shock of his life.

Pasión y Poder Capitulo #107 Friday, March 18th 2016 Hmm.. last weeks, you say, then why are the bad guys still winning and scheming??

At GLA, Eladio and Julia are about to sign the divorce papers that will bring an end to their marriage. They both struggle to get their signature on the papers, but end up dong so. In fact, Eladio does this funny thing where he takes out his pen to sign the papers, but then decides to use the pen that Julia used instead, and really struggles internally to bring himself to sign the papers. Julia is taken aback when Rueda explains that she and Eladio will be divorced in TWO DAYS. "So soon?!", she says in a disappointed tone. (Well, that's why it's called an "express divorce", my dear!) 

At Casa Montenegro, the Montenegro kids prove that they are still five years old. Daniela joins Regina, Erick, and Nina in the garden, and asks that Regina not set foot inside the living room, because David is there, and Daniela wouldn't want for poor little David to have a bad time at Casa Montenegro. Nina and Erick get upset when they find out that Regina and Jorge have been doubling dating with Miguel and Consuelo. That's when things get really heated between the three Montenegro children and they all start yelling and screeching at each other like five year olds who are fighting over who gets the last chocolate chip cookie. Nina finally shuts them up and puts them on time out and calls Regina and Daniela out on what they are doing wrong, but she fails to call out Erick on what he is doing wrong, because for Nina, her Chimp, can do NO WRONG. #NotCool #BadMother #MamasBoy 

Rueda says that the divorce can come out sooner since he's both Julia and Eladio's lawyer. He tells them that he'll keep them informed and leaves. Now alone, the two talk about their love, and Eladio says that "circumstances" separated them (Uh, no, it was the fact that you bedded another woman, knocked her up with your spawn, made her raise that spawn, lied about it, etc). When Julia tells Eladio how bad she feels about all this, he tells her "not as much as I do". Eladio then starts going on and on about his love for her. It's real and eternal and he laments that they couldn't find a solution to this "marriage crisis". He has realized that they won't be together in this life, but his tattoo says that they'll be together in another life. *rolls eyes* Julia has tears in her eyes and is so touched with his words that she embraces him.

A closer look

El Hotel de los Secretos #37, 3/17/16: Matilde is a "G"

Sorry for the late and short recap, I spent all morning trying to score Radiohead tickets!

Here is your recap:

  • Diego is not happy that his wife is spending so much time at the hospital, Isabel reminds him that the work she is doing is not a hobby or something that was meant to keep her entertained while she waited for them to get married, Ayala over hears the conversation and is told by Diego that he simply wants his wife to go home and rest.
  • The good doctor lays into Isa as well and tells her to go home and assume her responsibilities as an adult- for every hour she spends at her her husband will allow her to spend 3 in the hospital- Isa objects and tells him he is asking her to sell herself, the doctor disagrees and tells her that she can't act like a child, always demanding more, more and more but never giving anything up.

I'm posting this for Pablo, everybody welcome and thank him for joining the team!

Everybody loves Richard
While Esperanza and Ricardo argue over the unbelievable coincidence that is having him as a neighbor, and he saying that he did it on purpose, after the bitter incident of the bumper collision, we see a sinister walking figure with a lion like mane and tigress eyes, springing out of the mover's truck, and overhearing his love promises approaches them. It's Kracy!
-Hi, I am Kracy, am his wife (squeezing his arm) and we love each other! Right Richerd? You must be Esperanza, right? MY HUSBAND has told me soooo little about you!

Chapter 106: Fallen Angels

So many people trust the wrong people in their lives. Betrayal is no respector of gender, relationship status, education, looks, or any other human quality. It can happen to the rich or the poor. It's not always about money, but when it is it's bigger than the owners of the money because it often has its roots in things beyond greed. It also has lingering effects into other areas of life. The next stop for some of these people will not be the Twilight Zone that Rod Serling wrote about, but it will be something equally unknown to them.  I won't feel any pity when that happens.  – D.D.
