Angela offers up the truth to Isabel about her secret
love affair with papi Romulo. She wouldn’t
have dreamt of poisoning the man. She
lied so much she often wondered if her real life even ever existed. She kept Andres’ secret to save his life. Don Rom was forced to marry Teresa. He couldn’t bear to be separated from his
son, though. She felt obligated to stay,
but kept their and Andres’s secret.
There are entrances, and there are
E.N.T.R.A.N.C.E.S! The guests are all abuzz as Mini Peralta Diva
arrives to perform that evening.

Chapter
123: Paterfamilias Redux
Divorce
sometimes sounds like an easy solution to a complex problem. The sad
fact is that while it solves some problems it creates others. Rich
or poor, this is never more true than when the divorced individuals
are parents and when they try to compensate for past wrongs.
Unfortunately, some become worse instead of better and for others it is too late. – D.D.
David
brought Regina a cup of coffee as they waited for news from the
doctor. He remembered how she preferred it. Arturo arrived in
answer to their call. Before he could ask any questions, much to
everyone's discomfort, Eladio and Nina arrived together.
“Where
is Daniela?” asked Nina.
“Why
did you come here with Eladio?” Arturo asked her.
“Why
are you together?” asked David. Eladio held up his hand to halt
further questions.

Sueño de Amor (SdA) #25. Tuesday April 12, 2016. The Queue To Smack Rickety Ric Upside The Head Forms Here!
Hello Patio Pals! We’ll have to make do with a quick summary until a volunteer takes over this recapping spot.
Silvana resents her mother for divorcing her rich father and plunging them into a life of "poverty". Margarita feels that she did the best she could given the circumstances. Her husband was an abusive man and she had no choice but to leave him. She provided the ungrateful daughter with a roof over her head, food, clothing and a decent education. It’s a shame Margarita didn’t also provide Silvana with a few chanclazos to straighten her out. For those unfamiliar with it, a "chancla" is a flip-flop or slipper that, in addition to its primary function as footwear, was used as a boomerang that mothers and grandmothers sent flying across the room to set straight their unruly children and grandchildren. Chanclazos were an accepted child-rearing technique in my family and it proved effective in keeping us out of trouble, most of the time, anyway. It is worth noting that, growing up, my brothers, cousins and I were fearless savages. Little devils would be too cute a sobriquet for the veritable terrors we were. Sorry for the long parenthesis. Back to the show.

Pasion y Poder 20160411 #122 David, The Crackhead Whisperer
Over a meal, Julia told
Humberto that she gave her wedding ring back to Eladio. Humberto is
pleased. Maybe Eladio will finally get a hint that Julia is over
him.
Over the phone, Nina
told Eladio that she is ready to sell her shares. She will stop by his
house tomorrow and they will continue on to the notary. Eladio
avoided temptation and asked Julia to meet him at the notary office
instead.
Gabriela told Augustin
that Franco sold her family's shoe factory behind her back. Augustin
called Franco a dirty rat bastard thief who do anything for cash.
Augustin informed Gaby that Franco blackmailed Art. Gaby's all like
Franco is an innocent angel and he would never do anything like that. I
got proof, says Augustin. He takes Gaby back to the day that Julia
was hospitalized for falling down the stairs. Franco saw Art sneak into
Julia's room. The next day, Franco approached Art and asked him for hush
money. Like and idiot, Franco personally showed up at the Montenegro
offices to negotiate the payment. He didn't realize that he was being
recorded. Gaby is shocked. She believed that she had convinced
Franco not to tell Eladio. Franco agreed not to bust Julia out because he
loved her.

El Hotel de los Secretos #53, 4/11/16: You've Got to Hide Your Love Away
Benjamin is listening at the door as Lupe tells Ayala he heard Angela and Romulo arguing, not long before Romulo's death. "I'm not going to let you do this! Over my dead body, or over yours," Lupe remembers hearing Angela declare.
Lupe recalls hearing Angela say she wouldn't let Romulo destroy their (her and Andres) life. Romulo said he was going to use "that document" and that his lawyer has a copy: "Andres is my son."
Angela was incredulous: Sure, TWENTY YEARS LATER the guy wants to recognize his son. Right. "You should have thought of that before," she told him. She vowed to do "anything" to protect Andres.
Lupe is devastated to have incriminated Angela in this manner. Later, Angela sees Ayala march Lupe past her office, and nearly hyperventilates.
Benjamin approaches Angela to warn her. He's known her for thirty years, and Lupe has betrayed her. Angela stiffens; she doesn't want to hear about Lupe's and Benjamin's "primate war." "But Lupe was talking about you and Romulo," Benjamin says.

Sueño de Amor (SdA) #24. Monday April 11, 2016. Pains That Can Swim And People That Can't Think
At a glance
A closer look
The opening scene is a replay of Kiko’s disturbing and gratuitous stabbing. Sheesh, Osorio! I wanted the kid to dance off camera, I didn’t want him to be offed! Esperanza’s cab pulls up. She rushes to check on the poor kid who’s collapsed on the floor, writhing in pain from his very visible stab wound and, get a load of this, she asks him: “¿Qué tienes? What’s wrong with you?” I don’t know, lady, care to take a guess? Kiko is in the habit of lying down in a pool of milk, blood and possibly urine, in that very spot, every single day! Just give him another 5 minutes and he’ll be on his merry way! Esperanza wastes precious minutes calling out the non-stabbed Gallo siblings and asking the Virgencita for help. If that Virgencita medallion necklace you’re wearing could move, it would strangle you, Esperanza! The taxi driver acts like a colossal jerk: he refuses to help, grabs his fare from Esperanza’s purse and takes off. At long last, the super maestra remembers the miraculous invention called cellphones! She whips up hers and dials the Mexican 911 for an ambulance. However, seconds later, when Erasmo and Estrella turn up, the ambulance is forgotten and Kiko is taken to the hospital in a taxi.
-- Esperanza gives her unconditional support to the Gallos after Kiko's accident.
-- Ricardo is in LA, doing his best to put out fires of the personal and professional varieties.
-- The Kuris are trying to adapt to their descent from [borrowed] riches to rags.
-- Pato gets sucked into the Aranza-Pedro-Kristel dramedy.
-- Adrián is hitting the bottle again.

Un Camino Hacia el Destino-Week 8 (Apr 11, 2016)
Well, it had to happen, but it all happened for Fernanda and Carlos at the end of Week 7. Couldn't they have extended their happiness one more week?
Misunderstandings, misinterpretations, lies of commission, lies of omission, fury, rejection, deception, sorrow, hurt, jealousy--it happened to just about all the persons integral to the story.
The person who hurts the most right now is Fernanda, the innocent schoolgirl who is in love for the first time with someone who seems to have been two-timing her with a former Miss Universe.
Pedro is a close second as he watches his one-sided marriage fall apart in front of his daughter's eyes. His anger at Amelia is somewhat justified for Fernanda's biological father is back in the picture and Amelia seems to be amenable to having him know his child. Pedro risks Fernanda's disappointment in learning he is not her "real" father, although he has been her real father for 19 years. In not wanting to tell Fernanda about her paternity, he underestimates the powerful bond they have if he believes Fernanda will reject him outright to begin a relationship with Luis.
One glimmer of hope for Carlos, the besotted novio, to rescue his relationship with Fernanda is that he learns from a reliable source that one of the proofs Isabela had for verifying her pregnancy is false. What will Isabela have to say when he confronts her with the news, as he surely will.
One glimmer of hope for Pedro is that he doesn't know Luis and Fernanda know each other already because they are embroiled in a bitter lawsuit which didn't go Luis' way. How will Luis react to the news that it is the same Fernanda Perez who is his biological child.

Pasión y Poder Capitulo #121 Friday, April 8th 2016 Hey, Guess What? My BF (Who is your ex) is a better lover than my ex (Who is now your BF). Hehehehe.
 |
| My BF is accompanying my ex and me to Monterrey. Darn. |
Yamila tells Regina that she'll need more construction workers over in Monterrey. As luck would have it, Regina's BF is also her contractor, so Jorge will be tagging along to Monterrey with Regina and her ex-boyfriend, David. Regina, is uh, not too thrilled with the idea, and her face says more than a thousand words. But does Turtle Boy realize it? Nah.
Over at GLA.. Eladio has admitted to having done the deed with Nina. And Julia.. well she's NOT taking the news so well. She can't believe that Eladio has shamelessly admitted to it. Eladio reminds Julia that she's his EX and he did promise her that he'd tell no more lies. He then accuses her of having fooled around with Arturo (while still married to him) when she and Arturo saw each other over at the beach. She denies it, but he's not buying that story. He turns to head to his chair, and she grabs him by the arm, and wants to know why he got involved with Nina. Was it to get back at Arturo?! Was it to bother her?! He replies that he doesn't get what her problem is, they are divorced and each can do as they please. She turns around from him, and can't believe that he's being sooo stupid! (Honestly, I can't either, this little game of spiting your ex, is sooo high school, sheesh!) She then accuses him of doing this to get back at her for something she didn't do. We see as Eladio wants to reach out to gently put his arms on her shoulders, but he fights the urge to do so, and instead tells her that he's discovering what a marvelous woman Nina is. Oh, boy! Now Julia, who has been wearing her wedding bands, takes them off, and returns them to him, telling him that this was the last thing that was left of their marriage. She tells him that he can go ahead and stay with The Marvelous Nina and leaves the office. Now alone, Eladio talks to himself, saying that Julia hasn't realized that no woman as a marvelous as Julia is. He then professes his love for Julia. A love that he will always feel.

El Hotel de los Secretos #51, 4/7/16 and #52, 4/8/16: Death by poisoning
Since we are missing Thursday's recap, I took the time to do some bulletpoints from the show.
Highlights from Thursday’s episode:
*Despite Teresa’s objection, Isabel goes through with the exhumation of Romulo’s cadaver.
*Sofia is at an abby that treats people with mental illnesses.
*Genaro is fighting with Ayala in front of all the prostitutes about the testing of the women for venereal diseases. He thinks it’s unnecessary, he attacks Cecilia, but she is defended by Jorge, which is amazing since we now know she’s a woman, and her name is Manuela.
*Alfredo comes back to the hotel.
*Genaro is ailing, most likely he has venereal disease.
*Romulo’s remains are being examined by Ayala and Matilde. Surprised that they buried him naked since there doesn’t seem to be any clothing on his bones, lol.
*Judge Bareda orders the end to the investigation of Anastasio Tagle, because Teresa wanted to protect Filipe.
*Angela gives Lupe his money back, Julio watches her.
*Diego sweet talks Isabel into trusting him about why she wants to have Romulo’s bones examined. He says he stands behind her in desire to investigate Romulo’s death.
*Sofia makes a friend at the treatment center, Luisa.
*We learn that at least one of Manuela’s band members knows she’s a woman, and he calls her hermanita.
*Andres asks Natalia out.
*Isabel and Julio have an argument about trusting Diego, Julio doesn’t want her to.
*Julio watches Angela reach for a bag that is hidden under the edge of a bridge in front of a grotto of a religious statue. She looks in it and puts it back. She leaves and Julio retrieves the bag and puts it under his mattress. We don’t get to see what it is.
*Julio has hidden the letters that he got from Romulo’s secret room under his mattress.
*Teresa and Judge Bareda put a halt to Ayala’s examination of Romulo.
Now on to Episode #52

Sueno de Amor, #23 Friday, 04/08/16 Too disturbing for words
Good morning everyone. I hope you all enjoy your weekend. I sure know I started mine on the wrong foot, after having watched this very disturbing episode. I won't get into too much detail when it comes to most of the show, because, honestly, it wasn't very interesting, but there were a couple of scenes that left me speechless (especially one in particular).
More on that later.
For now, we start with Ric arriving at Esperanza’s house for the tenth time that day to tell her that Tracy is going to take the kids and go to LA. Slow motion sadness all around.
More on that later.
For now, we start with Ric arriving at Esperanza’s house for the tenth time that day to tell her that Tracy is going to take the kids and go to LA. Slow motion sadness all around.
He
reminds Esperanza and the viewers all the suffering he’s had to endure in his
life : the desert, jail, war, training to become an incompetent SuperSpy
and a lousy boss. But nothing prepared him for the pain of losing his children.
He will go to LA and appeal the temporary custody sentence. Tracy is using the
children, which is too low even for her.
Espe
encourages him to fight for the most valuable thing in his life : his biceps children’s
happiness. They get touchy with one another and glance longingly, but this is
as far as they go… for now.
Mario
and Felicia are still having coffee, when he says that he has to leave. He is
so clumsy in his infatuation, that he is barely able to stumble outside.
Felicia loves what she’s seeing.
Until
I get an explanation about her bitchiness with Pato a while ago, I won’t be
able to get behind this couple.

Karmageddon for the Rich and Shameless: Pasión y Poder 4/8/16
I
have always loved the concept of poetic justice, of people getting
the fate they deserve. This does not often happen among those who
can buy their way out of it or get someone else to do it for them.
Many – if not most – who can do this have no conscience about it.
Few feel any regret for their actions or remorse for the
consequences; most that do are too late to do more than pick up the
pieces.
Human
crime is not limited to things subject to legal judgment. Many
crimes are social, familial, or both. Most of these are behind
closed doors and at least half will hurt the perpetrator as much as
the victim. All they can do at that point is close ranks to save
face if they can manage to avoid the paparrazzi who – for this crowd – is Dante's Inferno. – D.D.

Sueño de amor, Ep. 22 (4.7.2016) Esperanza wants to believe something so badly, she ignores the reality around her.
Or like we say, 'No hay peor ciego que el que no quiere ver.
The dream love is becoming a nightmare
Luca (immaturus sucrotoxicus) postponed his trip a number of times until he lost his place in Járvar and even when he's supposed to go to Boston, is still here. He offered Adrián an emergency hot line in case he felt the temptation of grabbing the bottle and left the room. After him, Viviana told Adrián how lonely she feels and accidentally drops the bomb: He is a unwanted son. But since every cloud has a silver lining, she looks it on the bright side: Ernesto (Immoralix Vulgaris) never left her. Well, either that or he stayed for her gorgeous bank account.
While packing in his room, Luca has a surprise visit from Anastasia (fauxblondix skankis) and the cameraman make sure that we, and her, of course, see his ''wedding'' ring. Is actually a promise of eternal love ring, a never ending love like the silvery circle itself. She tries to rekindle the fire they used to light in this very room, but Luca is taken and not interested.

Forever 64
Later on, Viviana (MILFus gerontofobicus) asks Ana who did her boob job because she wants a pair like hers. Luca, who swears not being interested in Ana but still follows her around, hears them and goes crazy remembering the motorboat moments he had with the voluptuous blonde. -Mom, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Getting addicted to cosmetic surgeries is worse than crack and she cries while saying that she needs to feel young again to stop taking selfies with a filter. She honestly wants to be loved again like when she was young. I am sure Ernst didn't see her beauty because he was busy seeing the resemblance of her green eyes and the dollar bills.

Pasión y poder, Episode 120, Thursday, April 7, 2016: What happens in Vegas... comes back to haunt you in Mexico (even when nothing much happened).
In which Julia and Eladio suffer, each believing that the other has been unfaithful, and each too proud to tell the other the truth; Nina gets tougher; and Arturo... well, Arturo is still a putz.
Franco the Joker is taking the enemy down. He can hardly contain his glee – he smirks and mugs and grins, excitedly waving his spider-like fingers in the air as he cants his head to one side or the other. He is pushing Julia farther and farther out of the picture. Eladio grows more vulnerable every day. Gabriela still seems bewitched. And the Joker dances daringly ever closer to the flaming abyss.
Julia says goodbye to the tacky charms of Las Vegas and thanks Arturo for providing a few days of distraction away from all her problems. Of course, she admits, flashing him a radiant smile, she is still a little confused. [Oh god.] Arturo, however, has his eye fixed firmly on the prize. He still loves Julia, he assures her – he has never stopped loving her.

Sueño de amor #21 Wednesday 4/6/16
Wow! Another action filled episode. Our questions are finally being answered! So, let us get right to it!
We pick up the action inside the warehouse where La Sombra is keeping Esperanza. He is continuing to threaten her at gun point and threatening her. As the force of special agents engage La Sombra's henchmen, there is a lot of gun fire, hand to hand combat and a confrontation with a group of La Sombra mannequins. As Ricardo wonders which if any of the La Sombra figures are real in front of him, the voice of La Sombra greets him and tells him how much he enjoyed making Esperanza suffer. Ricardo shoots but La Sombra himself is long gone. In the background of much of the scene there in "James Bondish" music playing. Ricardo finally finds and unties Esperanza. He take her into his arms and apologizes for what he caused to happen to her. She just sobs.
At the same time, Tracy is at home on the phone with Mr. Parker, her lawyer, telling him that she does not have to feel sorry for him (Ricardo) because that is the only way to force him (to do what she wants). She hopes Mr. Parker understands. Talking to herself she tells Ricardo, her love, that one way or another he was looking for it (guess she is now giving it to him).

El Hotel de los Secretos #50, 4/6/16: The Party is Over
This is your substitute reporter for Hotel this evening. Ay Caray, so much happened yesterday, I hope tonight is a little quieter. I mean, gunshots, problems with the electric lights. My nerves just can't take it (Anita fans self). I didn't even think the canapes and the hors d'oeuvres were that good at the party. It was too hot and too many overdressed people. No wonder Cece and Diego went out for some fresh air. And to top it off, the guest of honor never showed up, nor any of the Alarcon progeny. It was very insulting.
BREAKING NEWS: The party was a bust. The Lady in Red appeared at the last moment. The missing Anastasio Tagle has been found, dead in a church pew. Investigation is just beginning. Matilde loses a special patient, the One-Armed Pablo succumbs to his bleeding mid-section. Ayala comforts her with a philosophical discourse on the cycle of life and death. Sofia disappears in the middle of the night. Diego keeps losing track of his wife. These and other stories will be in tomorrow's edition.
Part 1
Diego has been searching everywhere for his missing wife. He finds her in Romulo's study with a tall skinny camarero, alone, together, sort of. He quizzes Isabel about this inappropriate situation. Isabel thinks before she speaks. She tells him she was looking for a necklace and thought she might have left it here. She often comes here for solace after her father died. She holds up the necklace (the "Angela" necklace). Diego's original question has not been answered. What is the camarero doing here? Julio has been thinking before he speaks. He tells Diego the senora was locked in and called for help. The room is usually locked during big events (security, dude) and one of the servants may have locked it not knowing the senora was inside.
