Tres Veces Ana #54 and 55 - A long lead up to an explosive reveal - the evil queen is banished from the kingdom, but keeps her head…for now
We start with a couple of Llora/Ana Le and Ramiro/Santiago
repeat moments. (Aren't there suddenly more repeat scenes in these double episodes at
the beginning?)
Marcelo gave a very firm and convincing talk to Mariano’s
lawyer friend Samuel. Marcelo will protect friends and destroy his enemies and
Samuel better pick a side and fast. Mousy Samuel agrees he is better off on
Marcelo’s good side. In that case, Marcelo instructs him to give him the key to
the security deposit box and transfer all the money Samuel laundered abroad to
Marcelo under the alias they’ve used previously. Samuel will also indeed
represent Ana Le in the divorce. Marcelo will get a different lawyer. Samuel
will make sure things don’t go Ana Le’s way in this divorce and that Marcelo
quickly regains his freedom. Samuel is not to talk to Santiago Garcia. To him
Santiago Garcia does not exist. Seems there are a lot of dirty deeds between
these two, as Samuel did not even try to argue.

Sueño de amor #99 Wednesday 8/3/16
So, here we are with our story ready to pick up right after Ricardo and Cristina reaffirm their love for each other and kiss.
At home, Anya is having a nightmare of sorts where all of her patients are gone and Pedro appears as a doctor trying to convince her that love can also be a profession (just like medicine) by having her listen to his accelerated heart beat which he says she caused. She awakens just as they are about to kiss and laughs at herself for being so crazy and seeing Pedro as a doctor in her dream.
At the Guerrero's, Pedro tucks his mother Esperanza into bed. They say good night and he turns out the light.

Full recap is up now.
Enjoy!

Flashback: Abel
comes to Casa Guerrero in the middle of the night, beat up and bleeding after
getting in yet another fight. Omar lets him in and takes him upstairs, trying
not to wake the rest of the family, but Melina wakes anyway. She sends Omar for
the medical kit to tend to Abel’s wounds, and gently warns Abel to stop getting
into these fights. He’s going to get himself killed one day. He has to learn to
control himself. She assures him she’s concerned about him and that he’s
family. Abel is touched, and tells her what his grandmother told him—that he’s
the family black sheep and a lost soul. Melina tells him, “Your grandmother doesn’t know what a big heart you have. And I don’t
think you do either.”
Abel voiceover: “Omar’s
family healed my old wounds. Ones I never thought were possible to heal.
They believed in me, and made me believe that I wasn’t the monster that
everyone else thought I was. But they were mistaken. The monster was only
sleeping.”
Present day: Abel
meets Hernan in an abandoned warehouse, prepared to follow Camilo’s orders and
interrogate someone. Abel stops cold when he sees the someone is a terrified Melina.
Abel tries to get out of it and asks Hernan to let her go. He points out to
Hernan that he knows the lady. Hernan, the Killing Machine, doesn’t give a
damn. Abel’s there to get info out of the old lady, by any means necessary.
Abel is more than reluctant, remembering how kind Melina has always been to
him.

Tres Veces Ana #52 and #53 - FlashBack To The Future
(All flashbacks discussed will be in italics)
Leonora has a flashback to a conversation with Facundo (aka Funky Dodo):
Funky says he plans to go back to Costa Paraiso. He asks her for forgiveness. She forgives & thanks him for a beautiful experience. Not wanting it to end, he asks her to go with him. He feels the family denied her the life she deserves, one that he'd offer her as his woman. She claims she had the chance, but was never brave enough to reach for happiness & feels she doesn't deserve it. He says it's her life, but he wants to thank her for helping him discover a heart that still beats. But due to her resistance, he can't resolve the sadness she feels inside. She nods and they bid each other goodbye.
Ana Let discovers her as he leaves. She confronts Leonora about her involvement with her FIL (father-in-law) and tells her she should be ashamed of herself.

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:

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?”

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.
