Sueño de amor, Ep. 37 (4.28.2016) Reecherd is officially free but it's not taking applications.

You get a box, and you get a box, everybody gets a box...

Novia de estudiante, nunca esposa de profesionista
Mapato (Mapa[mamá+papá]+Patricia) get ready because Patolucas (Patricia+Luca) have a date. For them, none of their dates are just ordinary dates. All are special. This is the first after he quitted school to be closer to the women he loves, his mother and this duck.
Luca arrives with rose bouquet #1 and while their music plays only for them and stops when they are off screen, Patricia tells Luca something she has never told him before: He is the perfect man. He is a hero for being so understanding, he is more good than the bread (as long as it is gluten free), and even when he confesses he is selfish, is only for love, because he wants her only for himself, so that's fine. Have you seen the slug's trail?well, these two leave a trail too, a syrupy viscous molassey sticky trail. 
They keep with the arrumacos and giving like! to anything they say. Suddenly, while they start animorphing into ducks, Luca shows his Kinky side and unveils that he likes handcuffs, BDSM and even Gorilla glue. And is not the Aflac duck showing up for the commercial, is them who now quack to each other. Translation: Yo mucho más, in duck language: quack!!  <(") Ditto. Me more! I love you, quack (me more), quack, quack!! Like this or more ridiculous? ('')> quack! (more!)

Pasion y Poder #134 The Cat's Out of the Bag! Finally! Wednesday 4-27-2016

Lo Nuevo

Art wants to get back together with Julia but Julia is not sure. I guess she's confused again. She says she's scared of their love.

David is back from working on the Rivera Maya project and visiting Eladio at the GL mansion. David says that the people from the Rivera Maya are going to be giving them a public recognition for their work. Eladio doesn't want to be included because it was all of David's work. He also thinks that Julia will be very proud of him. David asks his father if he's seen Julia. Eladio says he has not seen her because he is keeping his promise to not look for her (unlike some people) even though he is dying because he misses Julia like nothing else in the world.

Sueño de amor #36 Wednesday 4/27/16

So, here we are just waiting to see what happens after Tracy has told Ernesto his kids need to see him as a hero to gain their affection.

Pato talks to Kristel at the school cafeteria. Kristel tells her about what is happening at home and that her mother is being thrown out of the house. She looks upset even if she knows her mother deserves it. They get up to get some coffee and suddenly Pedro is there. Before anyone can say anything much, Ara steps up to protect her interest in Pedro in a a new "punk" costume mouthing off to Kristel about how Pedro is HER boyfriend. Kristel gets the message loud and clear and starts to laugh which just incenses Ara more. Félix comes by (announced by his whistle) and is not impressed by Ara's new look. He tells her he is writing her up and she is to report straight away to detention. Pato turns a second to check a text on her phone and someone covers her eyes. It turns out to be jerky Vicente from her weekend at Harvard. He has missed her and so just appeared in the hallway of her school. His life has no meaning without her. He has brought her a lollipop shaped like a heart. He grabs her by her arm when she tells him to get lost. He will never let her go. She warns him not to touch her again. (She should have hauled off and hit him up side the head the first time,) Creepy. He is very much a stalker.

El Hotel de los Secretos #65, 4/27/16: The GKK Revealed, But Many Mysteries Still Remain

Part 1: 

I’m starting to think the Gran Hotel guests have started coming to the hotel in hopes of witnessing scandal, and this morning they are not disappointed. The lifeless body of a guest has been found on the lawn, a maid has just freshly been murdered upstairs, and the proprietress’ daughter looks to be the culprit. As they mull this over tea and scones in the dining room, in runs the culprit herself—hands bound, and frenzied as she tries to escape the grasp of Detective Ayala. Well, breakfast just got WAY more exciting! They turn to watch the drama, absently sipping their tea and munching on their scones…

El Hotel de los Secretos #64, 4/26/16: Stop Dreamin' Y'All!

Ø  Sleeping Beauty de Sofia awakens from her nightmare to find it’s been all too real.  Beatriz’s dried blood is all over her hands.  Out, out, damned spot[s]!

Ø  Down the hall, La Inocente de Isabela awakens from her dreamless sleep to find Diego up on his feet and smiling.  He’s turned romantic and tells her it’s all because she’s come back to him.  He asks her never to leave his side –all this from a knife wound, a stab in the back.  She allows him his romantic way with her.  (Damn, is she easy!  If Julio only knew what a pillow-pushover she is for sweet words and small talk, his sex life could take a real turn.)


Ø  Speaking of Julio, he’s in Cecille’s room ready to romance la ramera ésa with her favorite morning after sweet –ahem, sweets for the tart…..  He is offering himself once again to her in hopes of forgetting Isabela. Take him home?  He’s strayed and he’s tired of following a path with no future. (Hey, aren’t we all, slugger?) They are once again in each other’s presence.  It must be for a reason! They loved each other once -- and probably still do?  (Well, it wadn’t fate, Big Boy!  She made her fate and went lookin’ for you!) She is not that easily swayed, except for the fact that she admits she’s no spring chicken and the bloom is almost off her roses at this point in life.  She is angry that he’s still stuck on some rich bitch “…who married THE OTHER GUY, FOOL!”  Well, she can’t afford to be picky at this age……

Pasión y Poder Martes 4/26/16 #133


Chapter 133: Shattered

Tragedy happens to us all. Money, beauty, power, and position may think they are immune, but they are not. They will suffer just as much and will do their best to hide it in the process. Women will usually suffer behind closed doors while men maintain as stiff an upper lip as they can, at least in public. Healing takes its own time for everyone willing to learn a valuable human lesson. – D.D.

With tears in his eyes, Arturo told Julia he could not continue their relationship.
I have to put some order into my life. I don't know where to begin,” he said.
The only thing I want to tell you is that I don't want to leave you alone,” she answered. “I want to be with you while you're going through these difficult times.”
He turned away from her as though he didn't want her to see his tears get worse. “Julia, this would just make things more complicated than they are. I don't know what to do.”
I will be at your side. I'll be there as a friend to help you, to do whatever it takes.”
What I need now is recover my relationship with my children. That is what I have to do.” He turned around to face her again. “But that does not mean that I have stopped loving you. My children need me. My love for you has to wait.”
I know,” Julia said as she nodded in agreement. She held his hand and cried.
Thank you.”

Pasion y Poder #132 20160425 Mufasa Would Never Act Like This!

I rely on CCs to recap.  They were horrible last night.  Please fill in anything that I have missed.  Thanks. 

So we're back at the casket, where observes Nina grieving for her daughter.  In Art's brain, they are sharing a moment, so he reaches out to caress her hand.  Nina let's him touch her for a few seconds, but then withdraws her hand.  She looks at him like he's got the cooties or something as she clutches a flower that she pulled from the casket. 

Anyway, Julia, the shameless hussy, walks right in (followed by her cuckhold, Eladio) and walks up to Art.  She hugs him and he thanks her for coming. Anyways, Julia the shameless, hussy turns to offer her condolences to Nina.  Instead of smackin' Julia, Nina tells Julia to hit the bricks and to take Art with her.  She blames Julia and Art for Dani's unhappiness and overdose.  Art reminds Nina that he has the right to stay because he sired Dani.  Eladio pulls Nina away.

El Hotel de los Secretos #63, 4/25/16: Opposites

Kitchen, night. Andres calls for Natalia, drunk. She answers him, but she's pissed. As Angela and the rest of the staff peep through the windows, she asks, why are you bothering me? We're just the maids and waiters down here. Go back to your fancy suite with your fancy wife. Andres falls to his knees and begs her forgiveness. She says no, forgive me for thinking a swell guy like you would be interested in a maid who only wanted to give you her love and care, sorry but you rejected me so now you can stay with her.

Angela has seen all of this and tries to comfort Andres, but he rejects her.

Felipe is scowling outside the comisario when Ayala returns from the hotel. Felipe asks to be arrested. It's where he belongs. He can't stand another minute here on the outside.

Andres has made his way to the cantina. Violeta goes to him, asks him to find Gabriel. Cecelia says this isn't a good time to bother DON Andres. Cece tells him he's brave to come here in his condition, and she likes brave men. He says he's a coward. She tells him not to be so hard on himself. He's a good man, not like his jerk friend Julio. Andres says Julio's not a coward, he's deeply in love. He fights for his great love Isabel Alarcon. Cece gets mad and flounces off to sit with her nieces and Melibea.

At the comisario, Ayala wakes Dagoberto to tell him that Felipe escaped while he was asleep. Felipe has to promise not to escape again. Ayala wants to know who helped him escape. Felipe is afraid he'll do something stupid if he's allowed to roam free. But Ayala wants Felipe's help to find Garrido. He can lead them to the real killer of Felipe's father.

Belen finds Andres nearly passed out drunk on the floor in their suite.

Sueño de Amor (SdA) #34. Monday April 25, 2016. Some Characters Need To Get Whacked And Cristián Needs to Take Off His Shirt! ¡Pero Ya!

At a glance

-- Rodrigo is preparing a sleepover with his best friend, Homero, who turned out to be La Sombra's son! Doh!
-- They haven't even kissed como Dios manda, yet Tricky Ricky is practically living at Peppy Espy's house.
-- Viviana nearly gets thrown off the balcony for suggesting to give her shares to Luca instead of selling them to Ernesto.
-- Kracy tries to mow Esperanza down with her car.
-- Iker's sister is the new nanny of Ricardo's kids.
-- Ricardo encounters a suspect who can lead him to La Sombra.

A closer look

Ernesto explains to Luca a little toxic parenting 101: “I treat your brother like crap this because I love him and I want to help him become a good man just like you”. Yeah, whatever you say, bub. If I cared, and I really don’t, I would suggest to Ernesto to dial down the tough, dial up the love and seek urgent professional help. But then again, meh! Me vale gorro. I’m only here to mock and ogle.

Will Marissa crack the lying, two-faced creep's story about The Ring? How much money does Fernanda need to earn busking to rebuild the house? Will Pedro ever get it built? Can he convince people he did not try to commit suicide? How are Carlos and Fernanda ever going to get back together again? Will Amelia make it to the Big House? What happens to the quesadilla stand?

These and other questions may be answered in the coming days--or weeks--or months.

But for now: Surprise! Cesar asked Clarita to marry him and she said yes.

Pasión y Poder Capitulo #131 Friday, April 22nd 2016 While the rich folks grieve, the poor folks ride horses and play tennis.

Assmore ambushes Daniela in the bathroom and puts his cocaine infested hand over her mouth. "Surprise, surprise" he utters [and in English, so we are reminded that he's a gringo]. Daniela struggles to free herself from the slimy Assmore's grasp, but it's no use, he has the upper hand here. Assmore utters some more English words- a "relax" and a "good girl" - and he also tells her to "breath". He eventually whips out two baggies- one full of cocaine (a white powder) and the other full of pills. He tries to force the pills down her throat, but since she's able to fight him off, he instead decides that he'll put both baggies inside her purse, and it's clear that Assmore wants her mix the pills with the cocaine. He tells her to "fly", then tells her that he wanted to say his goodbyes, and promises that he won't bug her anymore. He eventually leaves the bathroom, but not before he blows a stomach turning kiss her way. Now alone, Daniela (still startled and recovering from the attack) approaches the sink and washes the cocaine (white powder- that was left on her mouth by Assmore) from her mouth. Then she takes out her cellphone, and still startled, calls David and asks her to come and get him.

Meanwhile, Erick teaches Luly about the American Manifesto ("In Good We Trust") using a dollar bill as a prop. Luly spots Assmore as he exits the bar, and she questions Erick about what Assmore is doing there. Erick pretends he doesn't have a clue. Luly gets up from her chair and wants to go and check up on Daniela. But Erick convinces her to sit back down. Erick spots Daniela as she comes from the bathroom and lets Luly know that Daniela is coming over to them.

El Hotel de los Secretos #62, 4/22/16: "It Is Not In The Stars To Hold Our Destiny But In Ourselves." Try Telling That To The Alarcóns, Shakesy!

At a glance


-- Dr. Vicario is still keeping an eye on injured Diego.
-- Andrés may have discovered that Belén is nothing but a gold-digging ho who has been using him all this time.
-- Alfredo breaks up with Sofía and starts making plans with Beatriz.
-- Jorge frees Felipe from jail. The two kiss.   
-- Ayala and Matilde discover a brand new clue.

A closer look

Teresa asks Isabel to stand by her and start acting like an Alarcón. She wants her daughter to do her part for her family: Grow up, assume her responsibilities, take care of her marriage, have kids, look out for her loved ones. These things are more important than playing detective and rummaging (hurgar) through old secrets, trying to discover Lord knows what. Teresa doesn’t like the fact that Isabel treats her like an enemy. They lock horns over Teresa’s prior knowledge of the truth about Andrés and for her attempts to impede the investigation into Rómulo’s death. In the end, Teresa tells Isabel to go ahead and look for “the truth” she is so eager to discover, but if that truth breaks her heart, she’d better not come crying to Mommy because Mommy will have no consolation for her.

Sueno de Amor, #33 Friday, 04/ 22/ 16 Questionable fathers and their offsprings: will Ernie be a better grandpa than he is a father? Will La Sombra get a Dragon gift for Father's Day?

We begin with a rehash of Ernesto and Viviana's  ugly fight - Viviana wants the divorce and half of everything, including half of the company that Ernie built with her father's money. This whole mess happens in front of their children - classic La Colina family moment!

Felix asks Margarita to meet up at night and at first she thinks it's a romantic rendez-vous, but he only wants to go ghost hunting (hey, if a girl has to settle...). Later on, they meet the certified ghost hunter (if such a thing even exists) and start roaming the school at night.

Aranza arrives for her "job" and is greeted by a lecherous looking overweight man, who looks at her with nauseating lust, approving of her big cleavage. She looks disgusted, but we don't actually find out what she's up to.

Esperanza of the Tell No Lies Family and Ric of the Incompetence in Every Job Order want to talk with PatoPedro about something very important. The teens think that since Ric's divorce is almost final, things around the house are about to change: Pato will get another new daddy and Pedro another chef to cook his vegetables (does he know that Ric only prepares pancakes?). But no, the  talk is about a big secret. He's a super secret agent, who came to Mexico to track down his arch enemy and put everyone's life in danger. Pato seems to believe this is all a joke (who can blame her?), but then they are informed about La Sombra and his activity, the way the bastard killed Ric's partner and only friend and how he has a kid in their school.

El Hotel de los Secretos #61, 4/21/16: Diego Survives But Unintentionally Gives up a Secret

Diego is back at the hotel and he is being cared for by doctor Vacairo and Matilde. Isabel, his wife who wants to become a doctor just stands there and stares. I'm scared for her future patients.

It looks like he might survive the attack which they determine was caused by a knife, the conclusion seems to be that he was another victim of the GKK, Diego is only at risk now if he gets an infection, everyone leaves and Isabel stays with her husband. Diego is running a high fever and confuses his wife with his dead father is law (who that's possible I'll never know but let's roll with it).

In his state Diego says the following:
                                         Diego (confusing Isabel for her father): "I was surprised you haven't come by sooner to visit me, what did you come here for, to see me die? You've been waiting impatiently for my time to come, right? {In reaction to the way Isabel is looking at him} If I'm dying it's thanks to you"
                                         Isabel: "You are not going to die, you just need to rest"
                                         Diego: "You and I are never ever going to rest in peace, Isabel is smart and our fingerprints all over the place, she'll figure it out what I've done, but she'll finally, finally figure out what you are."- he keeps repeating that line over and over again.

Sueño de amor, Ep. #32 (4.21.2016) The case of the search of the criminal based only on a crayon drawing

Antes muerta que arrugada
Better dead than wrinkled. Its hospital time again and the turn now is for Viviana who just woke up from an express coma. Too fast for a non-believer. I guess Esperanza has ''palancas'' with her sponsor Virgen de la Paz and her circle of prayers worked. Viviana is (as Esperanza was in her moments of need) surrounded by her loved ones, including the ones who will be always around her as long as she has money. 
Be careful what you wish for, she wanted to be at least 15 years younger and she is now a newborn. Talk about taking 50+ years off with a single surgery! 

Pato, in a very convenient scene, heard about Ana and Ernesto's affair and immediately told Luca, who confronted Ernesto, who denied everything until proof was shown. This is unforgivable, it is scandalous (and I come from the theater). Luca thinks father and son should never share the same woman. He almost asked for his kidney back. Just when he was saying ''you're dead to me'' Adrián shows up and his jaw falls to the floor. Don't worry brother, assures Luca, there's no problem between father and I. I said ''your head is clean'' 

Commercial break: Lala cheese is soooo good, that even when you put it in the coldest tortilla, it melts by itself!! Yummy, and it doesn't contain polyethylene terephthalate!!

Pasión y poder, Ep. 130, Thursday, April 21, 2016: It's a dog eat dog world. ¡Qué FEA! (Franco, Erick, Ashmore)


Arturo's day is off to a rocky start

Julia, clearly shaken by Nina's visit, tells Arturo that it would be best to end "this thing" and not see each other anymore.

The Careful Courtship Proceeds

In the infirmary of the foundation, Gabriela and Agustín enjoy the supper he has prepared at home as they keep vigil over little Diego, asleep on the cot.  When the boy groans fitfully, Agustín checks on him and comforts him, assuring him he's just having bad dream.  Agustín tells Gaby the boy still has a little fever and then puts a cool washcloth on the child's forehead.  "You like playing soccer?  You'll see – you'll be out playing again very soon."  

Gaby looks on with an approving smile.  "You'll make a great father."  He returns her smile, reminding her that when he has a wife, he plans to adopt five kids.  "How long before you're married?" Diego asks.  He wants to be one of those five kids.  Agustín says he doesn't know – he's waiting for the woman of his dreams.

He looks meaningfully at Gabriela, but she refuses to catch his eye.

Arturo Montenegro Cannot Believe His Ears

This thing?  [¿Esto?]  That's what Julia is calling their relationship?  He'll talk to Nina and make sure she doesn't bother Julia again.  It's not because of what Nina said, explains Julia, it's because of everything else: "Regina and David – who really love each other – can't be together because of us."
