Yago #42. Tuesday July 26, 2016. BabyFace Is Ready To Rain Mayhem On Gotham. Let The Game Begin!
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.

Sueño de Amor (SdA) #92. Monday July 25, 2016. These People!
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.

Un Camino Hacia el Destino-Week 23 (July 25, 2016) 1st Half
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.

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.

Tres Veces Ana # 43
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.

Hello Patio Pals! We’ll have to make do with a summary until a volunteer takes over this recapping spot.
Flashback. Abel thinks back to Omar’s funeral. “Through my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault... It’s my fault that Omar is six feet under, that Melina and Jonás lost their son and that Bruno lost his brother”. Abel is visibly twitchy. Lucio leans in and whispers a warning in his ear: “I know what’s going through your head. Don’t you dare!”

Esperanza is at the hospital for another chemo session. That condescending video of perfectly healthy young models telling cancer patients how to feel, is still playing on a loop. A nurse escorts Raquel in. She asks where is Esperanza’s handsome hubby. “He’s not my husband”, corrects Espe. He’s the most gorgeous man that Raquel has ever seen. Esperanza admits that Ernesto is very good-looking and 99.9% of viewers nod in agreement. Raquel enquires whether Esperanza has experienced any of chemo’s side effects on her body, skin and hair. Esperanza tries to change the subject but Raquel says it is best to face these things now.
