Sueño de Amor (SdA) #98. Tuesday August 2, 2016. Adrián In A Gorilla Cage, Ernesto In Debt to His Rival And Maggie In Suegra Hell!
 |
| Oh hell no! I didn't invest months of cougaring to land this young thang only to have his mom sleep in our bed! |
Hello Patio Pals! I’m away on holiday until August 22. Mini-recaps for Monday and Tuesday are scheduled to post the next day at 6 am EDT. Be well and see you soon, Sueñolandia dwellers!
Montserrat Izquierdo viuda del Pozo, mother of Félix Tiburcio del Pozo is visiting from Tabasco (actual Tabasco, not the Tabasco where we exile telenovela characters). She is a mustached woman whose vestimentary inspirations are Madonna in “Like A Virgin” and Hyacinth Bucket from the BBC’s “Keeping Up Appearances”. She plans to live at Casa Manzanares for the next 2 to 24 months. She is overbearing, haughty, meddlesome and nit-picky. She laughs like a hyperactive hyena, eats like a medieval serf during famine and relishes mocking Margarita for her advanced age.

Yago #45 More cold blooded killing
I don't know how to make this any shorter, there is too much information I would be leaving out in order to do so.
We start with a flashback from Omar, he’s about 10, Jonas walks in on Omar in the midst of a huge mess in his workshop, yelling at Omar, how he could do such a thing. Omar denies culpability, but his father doesn’t believe his denials. They go outside, Jonas asks if it wasn’t Omar, who did it? Omar sees a smirking Lucio in the distance, but like a good friend, Omar takes the fall for him.
Yago is heard saying that there’s nothing worse than be accused of something you didn’t do. Poor Omar has had a lot of that in his life. And the latest is from Matias accusing Yago of killing Ambar. And just like when Jonas wouldn’t believe in the goodness of Omar and Omar’s denials, Jonas is repeating it with Yago, and told Yago to leave.
Well, even though Julia left her conversation with Katia in a huff, saying she didn’t want to have anything to do with Selma and Fidel, she now is taking the time to read the letter Selma wrote to her dead daughter Fabiana, the letter that Katia snuck from Selma’s book and then gave to Julia. It says:

Sueño de Amor (SdA) #97. Monday August 1, 2016. The She-Bat In The Hat Kidnaps Adrián And Nurse Anya Ratched Joins Sueñolandia’s Only Private Hospital
 |
| Wa wa wa wee wa! That stethoscope could totally double up as a whip! |
Hello Patio Pals! I’m away on holiday until August 22. Mini-recaps for Monday and Tuesday are scheduled to post the next day at 6 am EDT. Be well and see you soon, Sueñolandia dwellers!
Adrián is happy because he feels he is in the best phase of his life. He is out of rehab, he has learnt to love and accept himself, he has forgiven his dad, his parents are happy in their respective romantic relationships and Estrella has agreed to be with him forever! All is peachy peach cobbler in Adrián’s life! The boy has been happy for all of 12 episodes and he hasn’t been bullied or punched in the face for a whole 5 episodes so, naturally, it’s time for Osorio to start torturing him again. Kracy kidnaps Adrián at gunpoint (a punta de pistola) outside his school.

Tres Veces Ana # 50 and 51 - In which it seems that the odds are stacked against Ana Le, yet it is too soon for the good to triumph
Hold on to your flat screens, Patio friends, we have a lot
to cover here today.
Rehash: Santi and Sole continue to figure out whether he
still loves his wife.
Tin is asking fake Llora to not let TioM separate them. Tin
will die if he loses Llora. In her fake faint, too sweet voice, “Llora” asks
Tin what he has against her tio. Well, says surprised Tin, it is actually him –
the crippled by TioM poor schmuck who is entitled to feeling snubbed. TioM made
him like this!!!
Out at the get-away ranch, TioM presents Llora to Viridiana
and talks about his never-ending love for his nieces. Viridiana is impressed,
Llora is touched. They talk about Ana Le and Llora reveals they are triplets.
TioM quickly says that the third sister is dead, but that doesn’t sit well with
Llora. She asks him not to say that, they argue some, making Viridiana
uncomfortable, and Llora excuses herself. Viridiana and TioM get back to
staring and flirting.
New stuff (scenes somewhat consolidated):

Un Camino Hacia el Destino-Week 24 (Aug 1, 2016) 1st Half
First things first—Vivi, thank you for sharing the news of
the passing away of MARIANA KARR. Besides being a great interpreter of many
telenovela roles, I wasn’t aware she’d made so many films. Who could forget her
in just about everyone’s favorites—Alborada and Pasión. A more recent role she
had was in Amorcito Corazón as the villain, Jorge Luis’ mother, Beba.
I wonder what will happen to her restaurant, CarayCaray, or if it is even still in existence. Here is our recapper extraordinaire, Cheryl’s description of her visit. http://caraycaray.blogspot.com/2008/02/mariana-karrs-restaurant-caray-caray-in.html
Un Camino—It’s limping along with Lucero. We are united in sticking it out until the bitter end for our bad, very bad, terribly bad Luis and
Mariana and rejoice in the reunion of Carlos and Fernanda. What of the rest? We
will have to take a wait and see attitude, since the commenters are beginning to voice
different opinions.
One thing we can all agree on, is the quality of the story and the presentation—due in great part to the casting, writing, filming, acting and direction. We hope it stays on the road until the last episode.

Tres Veces Ana #44/49: A Mexican Twist To Shrodinger's Gatita
Parte 1.
Dressed in a skort and 5 inch heels with a sleeveless blouse whose neckline plunges to her waistline, Ana Leticia is sitting at her desk “minding the store” for Tío Mariano. Iñaki is pissed she stood him up at the (expensive) restaurant for dinner. He begins a conversation with her that gives A MiMi a chance to save face: Unky Mo is on a vacation and asked her to go along to help him through but she told him no, that he had to learn to manage on his own with Jennifer’s absence in his life; so yeah, he asked her sister instead and he’s going to learn what a mistake that is because she’s nothing but a pain to deal with! And, speaking of that, where’s her passport? Yaki tells her it’s right where she left it. “—Don’t ever mess with my personal stuff again!!” Yaki starts to goad her into admitting she was there with Jen at the building site the day she died; and yet nobody knows she took that one-day round trip to Costa Paraiso—‘specially Mo and wouldn’t he just love to know that????? “—Just what are you hiding, Ana Leticia? Hmmmmm?”

| A drone to deliver my engagement ring? Why? Was the hawk busy tonight? |
Hello Patio Pals! I’m currently away on holiday in 1991, where internet and cellphones don’t exist and where the prized summer activity is lazing about all day and digging holes on the beach in between naps. Not to worry, though! Over the next three weeks, Blogger willing, mini-recaps for the Monday and Tuesday episodes are scheduled to post at 6 am EDT on Tuesday and Wednesday, respectively. Be well and see you back on planet Sueñolandia this August 22! Toodeloo!

Yago Capitulo 44 :Sanctuary of Men
[Some scenes are merged for easier reading]
Flashback: A long time ago in a land behind the seven wrenches Abel tried to hook up the nasty with Ambar but she didn't fall for his romantic tricks. Abel quickly apologized, blowing off all of the candlelight's. Abel damns the romantic advises that his friends had given him. He agrees to just be friends with Ambar. They both cheer to their friendship.
In the present Abel is just realizing how difficult life is without the people he loves. Julia who had naively just driven him home wakes him up and starts chatting with him. They chat timidly about Abel's happiest moments with Ambar. Julia also talks about her lack of money. Their showcase of physical and emotional scars quickly transforms into awesome sex.

Sueño de amor, Ep. 95 (7.28.16) With faith and patience (and lies of course) everything is possible -Esperanza Guerrero
"Fe y paciencia"
We start this hodgepodge in Esperanza's bedroom, where she is telling Pato that it could be the weevils talking, but she is seriously considering Ernesto proposal. After all, she can drop dead any minute and this could be like a reward for everything he has done for her lately (greased her hinges) and doin' it she could convince Ricardo once and for all to forget her. Talk about killing two birds with one stone! Just to die afterwards!
Meanwhile, in the De la Colina penthouse, Ernesto gets all the pictures, both digital and printed, from Anastasia, who turning a new leaf in her life, has decided to stop blackmailing the father/grandfather of her son. She wants to start from scratch and confesses that in the beginning, is true that she didn't love Luca but he had that attractive that only GWM have (Guys with money) and after getting to know him better she started to love him, only to spoil it all by sleeping with his father. Bad mistake!

Yago #43, Wednesday July 27, 2016: Lies or Consequences
Here is a summary. I'll post a blow-by-blow later tonight.
- Hernan tells Melina he is collecting for the orphanage, but she turns him away. Later, Melina feels badly and contacts the orphanage, then calls him personally.
- Katia and Teo agree to give the relationship a try. They want to keep it a secret, but Katia tells Julia, and Yago quickly finds out too. Yago is okay with it, but they don't think Fidel would be so understanding.
- Camilo and Yago face off (over cards) at the casino. Yago proposes that instead of betting boring money, they should each write down their biggest secret. Yago's secret is "I am Omar." Camilo's secret is "I killed Ambar." However, neither secret is ever revealed.
- Fidel is convinced that Tom Vargas will switch teams if he's offered more money.
- Abel meets Tom Vargas, who quickly earns Abel's profound contempt.
- Sara makes a deal with Camilo that she'll move out of Lucio's house to get a place of her own with Mati, and she'll pay Camilo back. Lucio, however, has already told Mati that they'll be a "family" forever. He dares Sara to tell Mati otherwise. It appears that she chickens out.
- At the Ambar bar grand opening, Yago works hard to shake Becker's confidence in Camilo. And, Abel makes friends with Julia. He also makes a big scene and loudly accuses Yago of killing Ambar. He's drunk, so Julia offers to drive him home on his motorcycle. (The bar patrons will have to pour their own drinks!)
- Yago is upset to be blamed (again) for something he didn't do - in this case, Ambar's murder. He tries to explain himself to Sara. When that doesn't work, he says he loves her and tries to kiss her. This earns him a slap. She plays the recorded phone call that makes him sound guilty. They argue about Ambar's murder. Mati overhears.
The blow-by blow:

Sueño de amor #94 Wed. 7/27/16 " A Hot Time in the Old RV Tonight or Don't Go Knocking . . . "
So, Pato and Luca have taken off in the big big RV but alas!!!! there is none of the charm of Lucy and Desi in the long long trailer. . . Well, I better get back on track!
BTW the RV has "Te amo" (I love you) written on it in glow in the dark paint. . .and Pato notices it as they leave it to experience their first and only stop at a park where a multi course formal goutmet meal has been set up, prepared and served to the young lovers. Luca asks if Pato wants some champagne. Pato only wants one glass because she does not want it to be like the telenovelas where the girl loves to drink, gets drunk, falls asleep and wake up having made love. She is legal and responsible. The server pours the champagne. Luca tells her how beautiful she is. She herself is just a ball of nerves. Luca tells her there is nothing to be nervous about because it is just the two of them. He tells her how marvelous she is but she is still stuck on having no confidence because she has no sexual experience. He tries to build up her confidence telling her how smart, funny and sexy she is. Sexy? How would he know? she asks. What about their kisses? he asks. They drive him wild. (the more they discuss it the less romantic it gets, UGH!) He loves her; she fascinates him. He is her superhero and he is the sun of her life. They declare their love to each other and kiss. They are serenaded by their own personal love theme "Para estar contigo" by Pau and Davo LIVE! Pato finds it all magical. They watch the chef prepare some sort of flambé for dessert. Pato says it is very (candente) red hot! (fogoso) fiery! They both add (quemador) burning! Luca goes on with (abrasador) blazing! and (hirviente) boiling! Since all of these words could be used to describe their PASSION, Pato and Luca end up kissing. They share dessert, dance and kiss some more.

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.
