Yago #3. Wednesday May 4, 2016. Some Chase Ghosts And Some Follow Mirages.
At a glance
-- Lucio’s relationship with Omar and his involvement in the casino heist are explored.
-- Yago plays mind games with Lucio and Sara to make them court him as their next business partner.
-- Melina is convinced that Omar is alive and wants to look for him.
-- Ámbar and Yago have their meet-cute and seem to be attracted to one another.
A closer look
The episode begins with a repeat of Yago’s reencounter with Omar’s family. HIS family. He is received affably but, at the end of the day, he is now a stranger to his parents, Melina and Jonás, and to his younger brother, Bruno. Yago is also introduced to Sara and Lucio’s little boy, Matías, who may in fact be Omar’s son; we’re still looking into it. Yago feels so disconcerted that he needs to escape to the bathroom. He washes his face, dampens his hair and dries both with a towel. Later on, after Yago leaves, Melina wipes her face with the same towel he used earlier. She must rank somewhere between Daredevil and Wolverine on the olfactory acuity scale, because, lo and behold, she instantly picks up Omar’s scent in the towel!

El Hotel de los Secretos #69, 5/4/16: The “Lady” Vanishes
Already drunk, after Andres finds out from Alfredo that Alfredo/Andres
Jr. is really Diego Jr., and Belen has been playing him for a fool from the get
go, he seeks Belen out and flies at her in a rage. Hearing her dissing both his
mother and Natalia in the servants’ quarters adds fuel to the fire, and practically
the whole staff has to pry his hands off Belen’s throat (good thing she has
that big ruffled collar). Belen doesn’t back down, however. She starts
insulting Andres’ manhood, saying he’s not capable of impregnating a woman.
Andres flies at her again, and is intercepted by all the male staff. Belen
turns her insults to Angela, which is the last straw for Natalia. She smacks
Belen a good one, and the hair-pulling melee begins. Two of the waiters drag
Belen away and out the back door, like the trash she is. The men, Lupe and
Angela follow, but then leave Andres and Belen alone to sort through the ashes
of their brief marriage.

Sueño de amor # 41 Wednesday 5/4/16. "Waterworks"
I have never seen so many tears in any production anywhere anytime. We pick up the action with Luca being taken in for questioning in the death of Vicente. Luca tells the officer what happened with Vicente. He was not going to let him threaten the girl he loves. The officer sees that as reason enough for killing him.
At school, Tracy is visiting Silvana in her office. They are looking at the security footage that shows Pedro's fight with Vicente. For a change of pace, Tracy corrects Silvana's Spanish. They talk about the murder. They are all excited that Pedro can be implicated in the murder and in that way they can make Esperanza suffer a bit. Silvana asks her secretary Quintina to get a hold of the detective that is investigating Vicente's murder.
Esperanza is with Ricardo. Ricardo sees Vicente's murder on the news on his phone and that Luca was brought in for questioning. He goes over in his own mind his encounter with Vicente. He tells Esperanza about it. Pato overhears about Luca and is immediately hysterical. Luca is not answering his phone. Ricardo explains that Luca is only in for questioning. He has not been arrested. Ricardo will find out what he can.

Sueño de Amor (SdA) #40. Tuesday May 3, 2016. Estalkin' Is Bad. It Gets People Stabbed.
Hello Patio Pals! We’ll have to make do with a quick summary until a volunteer takes over this recapping spot.
Someone does us all a favor and stabs Vicente. In 24 hours, witnesses saw him tussle with Luca, fight with Pedro and get roughed up by Ricardo. Neither one of the three has an alibi, this was made abundantly clear throughout the episode.
In other Sueñolandia news:
Salma discovers she’s pregnant. At long last! Poor thing is distraught. She is barely 14, she sexually abused a drunken teenage boy, she got a very average boink out of it at best AND she fell pregnant to top it all off. I know this sounds sarcastic but I actually felt sorry for the kid. Thankfully, she has the support of her grandma and her older sister.
Kristel gets fired from her job as visual enticement at the antro. She has plenty of free time now to blubber and be confundida.

It's a hard knock life: Yago #2 05/03/16
Ok, here we go, I'm going to break down the recap into two parts, the first part will recap everything we learned about Sara last night and the second part will cover everything else, I hope not to miss anything but if I do please feel free to add to it in the comments section.
Sara:
We start our episode off with a flashback to Omar's brutal beat down in jail. The young man was set up for theft and murder by his two best friends and his future wife, we don't yet know his friends motivations, but I'm guessing they betrayed him simply out of greed. Sara on the other had a different motives, will learning her background make the patio more willing to forgive her and see past her sins? Only time will tell.
Sara was raised by her father who taught her that life is a game, everyone you deal with is an adversary, an in the game there can only be one winner. Life is made for winners, and there's no room for the weak. What her father failed to tell Sara is that sometimes you can win at the game while also losing everything you hold dear.

El Hotel de los Secretos #68, 5/3/16: Love Diagnosed and Perversions Disclosed
• Immediately after Jacinto has viewed Julio and Sra. Montego’s private passion on display, the two discover a buried box with a bloodied jacket. Upon examination, Detective Ayala finds an arrow appliqued inside the jacket; it appears to be a symbol of some secret Scottish Rite, as yet undetermined (I believe, as again I was working with no CC’s and bad audio).
• Once Julio and Isabel head out, Matilda and Ayala scuffle over his pedantic attitude towards her. It’s something to do with eroticism and not knowing real love if it smacked her upside the head cuz she’s really just cold-blooded; he supposedly only gets excited by dead bodies….dunno. It’s a boring story-line and the actors totally miscast for this kind of love duo. Mati races angrily back to the hotel to commiserate with Isa who tells her Mati is suffering from Luhhhhhv. FF>>FF>>

Yago #1. Monday May 2, 2016. GRAN ESTRENO: Revenge Is Stronger Than Death
At a glance
-- Omar Guerrero is betrayed by his fiancée and his two best friends. They frame him for a casino heist and the murder of a security guard.
-- Omar reenters the lives of those who betrayed him as Yago Vila, a Spanish entrepreneur and outstanding poker player.
A closer look
During his helicopter flight, a handsome young man ponders the treacherous nature of journeys over the turbulent waters of life. He has waited for many years to finally reach his destination: The place where Omar’s life changed forever. When he lands, a lady with a rocker bouffant is waiting for him. She hands him the keys of a red Ferrari. He drives it with vertiginous speed. At this rate, he might not even arrive in one piece to start his revenge. He swerves his luxury speedster in the nick of time to avoid hitting a pickup truck coming in the opposite direction. In his mind, this illustrates the importance of recognizing obstacles in time in order to get them out of the way. “One man who knew how to remove obstacles was “Pliers” (pinzas) Abel. He was like a brother to Omar. He was his protector.” Abel is the mustached guy who wears too much hair mousse. Another distinctive feature is his fondness for pliers and ciggies. “Lucio was like a dangerous freeway that Omar didn’t anticipate. They grew up together but their paths diverged.” In the photo of the traitors squad, Lucio is the one who looks like a psychotic baby. “Sara was a precipice that Omar didn’t see coming either. He was madly in love with her. If I had Omar in front of me now, I would tell him that all betrayals begin for love. My name is Yago. My story was born the day Omar’s died, and I am here to avenge him.”

El Hotel de los Secretos #67, 5/2/16: Movie Night!
Julio is looking for Ayala. Dagoberto hasn't seen him. (He's still locked in that room.) Julio needs permission to search Benjamin's room. Dagoberto gives it.
In Benjamin's room, all Julio finds is an empty cough syrup bottle.
Alfredo and Sofia are talking about starting over. She says she'll be the best wife and mother ever. He says he'll resign and get a new job - he has friends, and maybe Gongora can help him. Sofia expresses doubt - his criminal record might get in the way, plus he owns the adjoining lands, so why not stay here? Alfred says no no, he'll sell the land and they'll go far away. Sofia pretends to agree, and says he'd better find a good buyer.
Olegario (a good buyer) is imposing two more conditions on Elisa for her sale of the land: 1) It's no longer enough if Alfredo resigns. Now that Sofia's out of jail, Oleg needs Alfredo to be gone entirely - so he wants a copy of the papers for the annulment of the legal marriage. 2) Belen makes a dramatic entrance: "I want my baby back!"

Sueño de Amor (SdA) #39. Monday May 2, 2016. This Episode Was Brought To You By Lala Cheese, Salty Tears, Morning Sickness And Poisoned Juice.
At a glance
-- Shira is La Sombra's sister. She attempts to poison Rodrigo.
-- Kristel is channeling Victoria "The Crier" Ruffo and Julia "The Confused" Gómez Luna.
-- Vicente the estalkerr is still estalkin' and harassing PatoLuca.
A closer look
Ricardo catches Pato’s estalkerr lurking outside Esperanza’s house and demands to know what he’s doing there. “Don’t you know who I am?”, says an indignant Vicente, “I’m the son of Gonzalo Santillana!”. “The Board Director of Instituto Palacios?”, asks Ricardo. “How do you know?”, wonders the obsessed fool. A little unintentional comedy to get us started.
At Casa Guerrero, Esperanza gushes over her date, the coin found in the stupid love vault and the promises contained in the stupid love cassette, namely, eternal love, 2 children and a house with a blue door.

New Telenovela: Yago begins tonight. Here's a synopsis. Who is in? We need recappers.
Hi friends,
I ordinarily write the synopsis for a new show but because this one is starting tonight I'm giving you one I found elsewhere. If you would like a recapping slot please leave a comment. We need somebody for tonight if possible!
Our main character is Iván Sánchez. (See dreamy picture.) The story begins with Omar Guerrero, a simple young man living in a middle-class neighborhood next to his inseparable best friends Abel (Pablo Valentin) and Lucio (Flavio Medina). Omar’s life changes dramatically when Sara (Gabriela de la Garza) moves into the neighborhood with her father Damián (Manuel Ojeda) and her sister Ámbar (Ximena Romo). Damián is a conman who is about to pull off the perfect heist on the big Casino in the city. Unable to do it alone, he convinces Lucio, Abel and his daughter Sara to involve Omar. Even though Sara has fallen in love with Omar, her father manipulates her to go through with the plan. During the heist, a guard is murdered and Omar is framed for both crimes, and is sentenced to sixty year in prison. While in prison, Omar meets Fidel Yampolski (Patricio Castillo), an old and powerful mafia boss who becomes his mentor. After a prison riot burns the prison down, the two men plot an ingenious revenge; Fidel helps Omar get a new face and a new identity: Yago. Now, twelve years later, Yago has returned to execute his revenge upon the three people who betrayed him. But, will love be stronger than his hunger for vengeance?

New Telenovela: Yago - Synopsis & Main Characters. Gran Estreno Monday May 2, 2016. Recappers Needed.
Hello Patio Pals! I took the liberty to post this page as a brief introduction to the story and the characters of this exciting series, premiering tomorrow night at 9 pm EDT on Univision.
Yago is a remake of the Turkish drama series, Ezel, which is loosely based on the literature classic "The Count of Monte Cristo" by Alexandre Dumas (Père).
Iván Sánchez is Yago. Yago used to have a different name, a different face and a different voice. In what seems like another life, he was Omar, a kind and loving young man with a head full of dreams and a promising future ahead of him. However, everything came crumbling down when the love of Omar’s life, Sara, and his two best friends, Lucio and Abel, accused him of a crime he never committed. The crime in question made the traitors very rich and landed Omar in jail for life. Then, one day, Omar manages to fake his own death and he creates the Yago persona to exact his vengeance on those who robbed him of everything: of his family, freedom, innocence, love and life.
Gabriela de la Garza is Sara Madrigal, the woman whom Omar loved more than anything in the world. She ended up betraying him and destroying his life.
Flavio Medina is Lucio Sarquis, Omar’s best friend and one of the perpetrators of the crime for which Omar became the scapegoat.

Un Camino Hacia el Destino-Week 11 (May 2, 2016)
This Week's Camino is dedicated to MIKE and EMILIA to remember their dear daughter, Jennifer.
Due to time and distance, I have to post this today. Indulge me, please and allow me to pick up some of the comments from last week which make a nice recap of the recaps. All quotes are anonymous to protect the privacy, insightfulness and creativity of commenters.
“Pedro and Fernanda's hearts and souls need soothing balm. Marissa and Carlos should do quite nicely!”
“It seems incredible that Pedro has just realized Luis is Marissa’s husband. But now that he knows, the fire will surely be fueled. Perhaps that is an unfortunate statement – we’ve had more than our share of arson, haven’t we? I certainly hope Mariana can be connected to the blaze. Everyone thinks Pedro tried to do himself in. Mariana has that dubious honor.”
“I was surprised that Lupe is Cesar's mama, and I was surprised that Pedro didn't know that Luis is Marissa's husband.”
“I think anything that Iggy can provide for Amelia will be chump change in her eyes.”

El Hotel de los Secretos #66, 4/29/16: Deathbed Confessions
What an episode, I'm so happy I got to do this one, but boy am I worn out!
Read more »
We left off on Wednesday with Diego getting an anonymous note saying that his wife has a lover, and Benjamin dragging Isabel into the woods to kill her.
Diego runs to Matilde’s room, assuming that the note is true and Isabel is hiding out there. As he pounds and kicks the door down, Doc Vic pulls him away. Diego wants to know where Isabel is, but the doc says she never met him at the hospital. Diego continues on his rage as Teresa shows up wanting to know what’s going on, and the doc tells her that Diego is upset that Isabel didn’t meet him for dinner, lol.
Getting back to Ben’s abuse of Isabel, he smacks her across the face telling her to get down. He tells her that at this point, he has nothing to lose. He will rid the world of another maldito Alarcón. Isabel doesn’t understand why he’s doing this, he’s been like a father figure to all the Alarcón children. Oh, but he has only been pretending to like them, and all the while The Alarcón have been enslaving all the workers.
All of a sudden, as Ben raises his arm up to stab Isabel, a bright light shines on him and then a gunshot right to his chest. Julio and Ayala to the rescue. Julio, holding the gun, (where did Julio get a gun?) says “how did i do that?” hinting that his gun may not have been the one that actually fired? Ayala runs to Ben and says that he’s still alive, and chastises Julio for intervening in justice. Ayala wants Ben to stay alive so he can solve his mysteries. As we pan out to the commercial, Jacinto appears from behind a tree. Hmmm.
Wow, what a lot of action in the first 4 minutes.

Sueño de Amor (SdA) #38. Friday April 29, 2016. You Make Me Solve Clues But Don't Show Me The Bling? Worst Non-Proposal Ever!
At a glance
-- Tricky Ricky makes Peppy Espy work hard for a proposal that never happened.
-- Kracy and Anastasia get to know each other over copious amounts of tequila.
-- Erasmo ditches Kristel, this TN's Princess Confundida, over her smooch with Pedro.
A closer look
Esperanza receives a dress box with a first clue that asks: “What is square-shaped and has a combination?”. Paper! Snow! A ghost! No, it's the stupid love vault. Is this another one of Osorio’s protracted and exhausting marriage proposals with clues? Oh, how original!
Randomly diced pieces of film are thrown our way, without regard for coherence. Salma thinks she is nauseous because she is riding the bus and mocks Kristel for selling her car to help their father. Felicia breaks up with Mario. Ricardo asks his kids’ permission to have a dinner date with Esperanza. Kracy and Ernesto have a very vocal session of desk-boinking that scandalizes Anastasia, who can hear their carnal howls from the hall.
Luca formally accuses Vicente of sending him a dead rat. A pair of detectives made the trip to the constructora just to take his statement. No wonder La Sombra is running amok. Law enforcement is busy investigating pranks.

Pasión y Poder Jueves 4/28/16 Gran Final, Part 3. #137 When All Is Said and Dunne...
Too
often in life the lust for power and the love of family or objects of
passion are in conflict with each other. Is it better to desire one
and not the other? It's been said that he who would rule the world
must forswear love forever. That does not only apply to emperors and
dictators or even to mythical pagan gods. It is also about mortals
and sometimes with more dire consequences.
My
colleagues and I sometimes run into human stories about the inhuman
and the inhumane that defy understanding. This has been one of them.
– D.D.

Here we go...
At GLA, Regina visits David in his office. Regina tells him that she found out that he is going to Australia. He confirms that he is, but didn’t think she cared. She has something that she wants to tell him, but he tells her that now is not a good time. They are having problems at the office. She understands that he doesn’t want to speak with her, it’s just that, well, umm… (but she doesn’t tell him what she came to tell him, instead she turns around and rushes out of the office, as if she’s got the runs). David starts to chase after her, but the doofus heads back into his office when his cell phone rings, instead of chasing after the woman he supposedly loves, because really, it was obvious what she came to tell him, and yet he let her get away. [Whatever]
Anyway, David doesn’t get a chance to even speak to whoever called him, because at that moment, security enters and lets him know that per Franco’s orders, he’ll have to hand over his name tag and abandon the premises. David refuses and tells the security guys that they can’t kick him out. Oh, but they can, at least that’s what Franco thinks. David tells Franco that the board meeting isn’t until the afternoon, so until then, they have no idea what will happen. But Franco is confident that the board members will back him up, after all he is the major shareholder of GLA now. David points out that they’ll have to see just how much longer Franco will be the major shareholder. Franco has heard enough and he orders security to get that imbecile out of there. Security obeys and they begin to approach David. But David asks them not to touch him (“no me toquen”) and lets them know that he knows the way out. He takes off his name tag, throws it on the desk, and leaves the office with his head held high. Franco smirks.

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!

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……

Sueno de Amor #35 20160426 Both Esperanza and Shakira Are Annoying
Full Disclosure: I don't know who the hell these people are and what is going on.
So some chick named Esperanza is totally freaked over some guy named Ricardo. Ricardo is out on a stakeout. I'm not sure who called whom, but Ricardo and Esperanza talk while he's on the way to the stakeout. Esperanza whines to her daughter Patricia that Ricardo is in danger, yet she has not problem with texting him and thereby distracting him. Let me know when the stakeout is over. I'm very worried.
Meanwhile, across town, Ernesto and his wife seem to be having a little tiff. She is surrounded by a lot of boxes and wants to separate the crystal wine goblets. Ernesto tosses all the glasses to the floor.

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.

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.
-- 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 supersecret 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."

El Hotel de los Secretos #60, 4/20/16: Diego Plays Hero, But Ends Up the Victim of the GKK
Olegario gives Elisa an offer she is certainly not going to
refuse—lots and lots of Harriet Tubmans, in exchange for her securing him the
hotel shares of her “grandson.” He’s working on keeping Belen out of the way
and securing Andres’ shares of the hotel. The reason? There’s black gold, aka
OIL, underneath the hotel, and he and his gringo investors want to tear down
the hotel to get at it.
Over breakfast, Ole assures Belen and Andres that he is no
murderer and Ayala has no reason to suspect him. Belen has a hard time believing
Felipe is a murderer either. Andres slips his leash and goes to serve himself
some coffee that’s nearby, but everyone jumps in to say that’s not his place
and tries to make him accept being served. He gets frustrated with all of this,
and with Ole and Belen. He thought they were trying to get the baby back, but Ole
seems more concerned about the inheritance/money! He leaves the table. Belen
tells Ole that she agrees with Andres about getting the baby back, ASAP.

El Hotel de los Secretos #59, 4/19/16: Tuesday's Highlights
Sorry. I waited for the episodio to come down from HULU as long as I could. Highlights follow from other recappers kind enough to pick up my slack:
Highlights From Julie:
Olegario is a suspect in
Romulo's murder, but when questioned by Ayala and Dagoberto, he transfers the
suspicion onto Felipe.
- While Genaro is being buried at the cemetery, Felipe shows Jorge Genaro's secret stash of cash hidden beneath the floor at the cantina. Felipe hopes this will satisfy his ransom demand, but Jorge specifically wants money from the hotel.

Pasión y Poder Martes 4/19/16 #128
Chapter
128: Grand Gesture
Some
people are incapable of doing anything small. It's not always a bad
thing, but it can certainly be awkward in public. When the whole world is watching there is no margin for error. – D.D.
Arturo
and Daniela finished their conversation and he left. Nina caught the
tail end of it and seemed relieved that things seemed to be
improving. She hugged Daniela whose expression became more pained
when she knew her mother couldn't see it. She definitely had been
less than honest with her father and with herself.

Sueño de Amor (SdA) #30. Tuesday April 19, 2016. Ghost, Coma, Water Bucket Toss, Military Camouflage, Hobo Sex, Afro Wig, Father And Son Boinking The Same Gal... Sure You Can’t Squeeze Something Else In, Juabbly Juan?
Hello Patio Pals! We’ll have to make do with a quick summary until a volunteer takes over this recapping spot.
I think that maybe, just maaaybe, Juanito Osorio is getting a tad desperate here! Here’s what went down, pell-mell:
Erasmo also has a smartphone. No wonder the Gallos can’t afford milk or tomatoes!
There are no records of an Ágata having studied at the Magenta School of Arrested Development and Vindictive Ghosts, otherwise known as Instituto Palacios.
Esperanza calls Pamela “María Paula Rivas Iturbe”, because she rubbed her eyebrow with her pinkie and threatened to exact her revenge on Félix for confiscating her tablet. María Paula was the evil triplet from “Lazos de Amor”. Playing those triplets was arguably Lucero’s best acting performance ever, a performance I highly doubt that Angélique Boyer will even come close to emulating, in the much awaited (but not by me) “Tres Veces Ana”.
Margarita is aware that Félix is a lot younger than her but that doesn’t make her a cradle robber (una asalta-cunas) either. It makes her a sabertooth cougar, as our recapper and patio regular, Pablo, likes to call her.
Viviana goes into a coma. Zero surprise here. We saw it coming a mile away.

Pasión y Poder (PyP) #127. Monday April 18, 2016. Let’s Face It, This Novela Is A Glamorized Version Of The Maury Povich Show!
At a glance
-- The cutting room floor fodder took over the whole episode. It seems to be a telenovela tradition to turn Últimos Capítulos into filler galore. Why begin lining up anvils, unravelling hidden truths and tying up loose ends when you can cram it all in the finale?
-- Arturo, PyP’s resident runteldat, runs to tell Julia that Eladio came to his office to provoke him.
-- Eladio, PyP’s resident rogón arrastrado (the crawling begging take-me-back), warns Julia against Arturo’s lies and manipulations.
-- Julia, PyP’s resident Princess Confudida, refuses to listen to anyone except the man who has manipulated her all her life, i.e. her toxic father.
-- Nina, PyP’s resident reformed villana, who never got to commit any real villainies, is flitting about the episode, distributing hugs, smiles and words of support.
-- David, PyP’s resident sisterfudger, is adamant to renounce to Regina while pining for her to anyone who would care to listen.
-- Regina, PyP’s resident love martyr, is adamant to renounce to David while pining for him to anyone who would care to listen.
-- Clara and Justino, PyP’s resident filler, are bugging everybody with their stupid wedding.

El Hotel de los Secretos #58, 4/18/16: At last, we have a winner.
Julio tells Isabel the truth about Cecilia. She helped him out when he was hiding from the police. He owes her everything. She came for him, and he's going to leave with her - but not until he helps Isabel find what she's been looking for.
"Then, I'll have no more reason to stay here... right?"
"Right," Isabel replies.
And it seems that she means it, because in the morning, she makes nice with Diego. She apologizes that this marriage hasn't been what he expected, nor has she been the wife that he expected. Diego is gracious about it, but Isabel admits that she's kept secrets from him. He admits that he's kept secrets from her too. They agree to start over.
But she's full of baloney, because when he goes into the bathroom, she transfers something (I can't see what) from under her pillow to the drawer in her night-table.
