Yago #9. Thursday May 12, 2016. World That Never Was
This recap is brought to you by our recapper and Patio regular, CountxAlacran. Enjoy!
(Scenes may be merged out of order)
 |
| Credit: Teche-Anubis, Deviantart |
If anyone wonders about the title choice, I took it out of Kingdom Hearts. It’s a world that reminds me of Yago’s mindset and lonely life.
- Repeat of previous scenes (Ambar rejects Yago’s advances, Damian catches Matias looking at the tape, Matias informs Yago about the tape).
- This is mostly a Yago-centric episode. We find out how he was doing after his surgery. We meet a new character, Selma (She is the lover of Fidel, mentor of Yago). Selma helped Yago design his alter ego teaching him of all of the tricks in life, more importantly to throw his original face (physically and mentally) out of the picture. In the present, Yago went to visit Bruno at his house because Bruno was worried about Melina’s rapidly decreasing mental health. Obviously, he had a hard time encountering with family memories, pictures and Omar’s favorite food after so many years. As Yago he had to abandon Omar completely (The directors must be happy to the tears that this show is just fantasy so that Ivan Sanchez cannot sue them for stealing his vocal cords).

Sueño de amor, Ep 47 (5.12.16) This episode has been brought to you by open ''Death threats'' when doing it anonymously is not enough.
''A very long time ago, very, very long time ago, in a land very far, very, very far, a little princess was born. She was so hairy and her beak was so crooked that her Mapa called her ''Pato''. When she turned ''18'' her dad gave her a luscious party. Everybody was invited, specially Eli and Pocoyó. The shadow, international art thief was not on the list but he assisted anyway because he had a special gift for her. I told you I would kill her when she turned 18, remember?''
Grandmamá Pepa thought she was gettingweird, wired, but all Ricardo did was give her a tracking device that looks like Barbie's smartphone to locate her son. Can you really know where he is with this? Sure! Do you remember the tubes from the tv when you were a kid? Well... technology has made everything smaller...
She thinks she is the only one to blame because Max grew up without a father figure. She said that she created a soulless monster because the absence of Max's father made him steal to fill that void, yeah right! To another dog with that bone!

EPISODE #55 (Wed May 11)
Carlos comes to help Paco with his homework, but he says
he can do it alone. Paco wants to know what he and his mother were arguing

herself as Fer’s good friend. They spend time getting to know each other. She’s
impressed by how happy he is, even in a place like this. He claims there’s always light at
the end of the tunnel and his daughter is the light of his life.

Sueño de amor #46 Wednesday 5/11/16
So, here we go with a little bit of this and a little bit of that.
Pato is on the street and Anastasia approaches her. They end up on a bus where Anastasia wants Pato to get a message to Ernesto for her. She needs his help because she has no money: nothing. So far he has refused to give her anything. Anastasia makes sure that Pato sees a gun in her handbag. Maybe Ernesto needs someone he loves to be in danger . . . Anastasia sure hopes that Patricia gives Ernesto the message. After getting off the bus, Anastasia pretends to shoot Pato through the bus window with her finger. Pato is left creeped out and alone on the bus.
At the hospital, the doctor is filling in Viviana and Luca about the severity of Adrián's problem. Luca and the doctor think that Adrián needs to go inpatient at a rehab center. Viviana is not too sure. Later at home, Ernesto agrees Adrián needs to be admitted to the rehab center. Adrián sees it as if they are throwing him away. Luca and Ernesto do their best to talk him into it. Adrián hysterical makes all sort of promises not to drink. Viviana is afraid they will mistreat Adrián and promises to take care of him rather than send him off to that terrible place. Ernesto sees Vivana as just stupid but then he has to stay quiet because it is all his fault anyway. Luca tries to convince Viviana and Adrián that Adrián's promises mean absolutely nothing. Seems to be enough blame to spread around.

Sueño de Amor (SdA) #45. Tuesday May 10, 2016. Misery Loves Company.
Hello Patio Pals! We’ll have to make do with a quick summary until a volunteer takes over this recapping spot.
Adrián is in hospital with alcohol poisoning (congestión alcohólica). His pity party for one is getting old. Everything that happens to him is everybody’s fault but his own. He treats both Estrella and Salma like crap when they visit him at hospital. That should teach them to care.
In Acapulco, Esperanza and Ricardo do a lame copy of the “From Here To Eternity” kissing-on-the-beach sequence. Agent Alegría informs his starry-eyed fiancée that he’ll resign as soon as he catches La Sombra. Wouldn’t an immediate resignation be more conducive to La Sombra’s prompt capture?

Sad, salty tears: Damian lives Yago #7 05/10/2016
This won't be my best recap but that's because in a few minutes my office computer is going "bye, bye" and I'm finally getting a new one!
- Melina, does not get run over! She was shaken up but is in good health. she confesses everything to Jonas-including the fact that she pawned her wedding ring to get bus fare to see the shaman.
- Jonas goes to Lucio for help in getting even with the shaman, Lucio and his goons pay the shaman a visit and trash his place- but wait for it...the shaman has Lucio's number and tells him that he (Lucio) may be able to fool everyone else, but that he can't fool him and that he knows Lucio is behind the suffering of Melina's son. Ooooooh snap!
- Damian, Sara's and Ambar's dad makes his return. Sara and Lucio pretend not to know him but Teo and Katia are on the case and tell Yago that Damian is someone known to both Sara and Lucio, this will be important later.
- We get a flashback scene where we see just how much of a conman Damian is, he catches someone's attention and is offered the casino heist job- so he never did it for Ambar, he was hired by someone else to do the job!

El Hotel de los Secretos #73, 5/10/16: You Want Macho? Just Dial Hotheads Are Us
Parte 1
• All are totally upset by the fact that Andres has been unjustly dragged off to jail for the missing Belen’s supposed murder. (El bocazota ése, with that size 13 shoe of his, has managed to insert same with a perfect fit). Julio and Detective Ayala are wise that the judge is in cahoots with Somebody. Julio sees red and blames Diego for Isabela’s kidnapping. Why? I, frankly, am not sure. They figure that he’s hiding a dark, dark pasado since he really comes from Colombia and was on the lam for some shady deal that got him in trouble with The Law and over which Romulo and he apparently argued –and which may be the reason he might have administered the deadly arsenic to the old dude? And, perhaps it got the others in Romulo’s secret society to want to off Diego also, or at least to accuse his beloved of being an adulteress. Julio wants to head off to strangle and mangle El Diablo de Diego just because, because if it hadn’t been for that devilish brute his sister wouldn’t be dead and his beloved wouldn’t have been raped!! However, Ayala tells him no! “--Use some common sense! Killing serves not the Greater Good.” This gets Julio thinking with the common sense part of his brain…maybe.

Yago #6. Monday May 9, 2016. Discussion Page + Highlights By Julie And Vivi.
Hello Patio Pals! We’ll have to make do with a discussion page until a volunteer takes over this recapping spot.
Two of our Patio regulars kindly contributed this impromptu recap. Many thanks to both!
Two of our Patio regulars kindly contributed this impromptu recap. Many thanks to both!
Highlights by Julie:
Katia gets her hands on Ambar's medical records and Yago finds out that Ambar was admitted to the hospital just days before (or after?) the heist and questions if it's a coincidence. (duh)
Sara recalls that the hospital threatened to kick Ambar out because Sara's account was NSF. Turns out Sara's father kept her share as well as his own because his own welfare was more important to him than Ambar's. Lucio offered to pay Ambar's hospital bill himself.

A closer look
In their luxury suite in Acapulco, Esperanza and Ricardo mingle limbs in slo-mo and fall asleep in a pillowless diagonal embrace.
Back in Mexico City, Kristel tells Pedro that Salma’s pregnancy brought their family together. Silver linings and whatnot. However, Kristel doesn’t know where her witch of a mother moved out to. Pedro informs her that her mom was the one who sent the CCTV tape that got him locked up in the holding cells (separos) of the police station. However, he is still alive and kicking (vivito y coleando), so no harm no foul. Pedro receives the sympathy he was fishing for in the form of a kiss. A kiss for which he’ll get admonished, at some point, by Princess Confundida.

El Hotel de los Secretos #72, 5/9/16: Mommy-Suegra Dearest
Diego's mother has a mild face, but the tight bun in her hair and the black satin dress give her a severe air. The collar that looks like a chain of medium-sized doilies adds to the incongruity. She tells Isabel that she had Isa nabbed in order to "save" her and Diego. Diego's been writing letters to his mommy. He's treated Isa badly and it's not her fault. He's a troubled boy. During her speech, she prepares a mixture of medicines in a small bottle. She assures Isabel, "don't worry, you'll learn to love my Diego and all will be well. He won't make the same mistakes again!"
Isabel struggles to get up, but is easily knocked over. "My Diego should have been a writer," his mother says. "You're exactly as he described you." She administers another dose with the mask and says that a little morphine and scopolamine will help Isabel "sleep better."

Un Camino Hacia el Destino-Week 12 (May 9, 2016) First Half
NOTE to FOLLOWERS on our CAMINO
We have been asked by BlogMom to post twice a week. Seeing as we are about to fall off the front page, the recap for EPISODE #52 for Friday, May 6 is being posted here. Comments are most welcome.We pick up the conversation between Dr. Javier and Fernanda where he left off in the prior episode. He was wondering why Carlos is trying so hard to get Fer to come back to him. He should be ashamed to face her after what he did to her. Fer explains that they thought Isabela was pregnant and Carlos didn’t want to leave her, but the pregnancy was all a lie.
Carlos now wants Fer to forgive him so they can be together again. Dr. Jay wants to know if she wants to. She says yes, he’s the love of her life, but she can’t just now because she doesn’t trust him. She’s lost her confidence in him. Jay doesn’t think he’s likely to deceive her again, but Fer says one never knows and then repeats the story of her mother keeping the secret for 19 years that she’s the daughter of another man and Pedro never knew that [but of course he does] and that Carlos’ mother just found out her husband has a mistress. She doesn’t want that for herself, living with distrust. She leaves him, pondering.
Carlos finds out from Dr. Marcos that someone named Isabela was nosing around and told Javier that she was Carlos’ novia. Carlos has to explain that he and Isy were novios at one time in the past, but he ended it. He doesn’t know why she’s going around telling people she’s still his novia. Marcos thanks him for clearing that up. Carlos assures him he loves Fernanda, even though they’ve had a quarrel.
