Sueño de Amor (SdA) #96. Friday July 29, 2016. Esperanza Receives Another Marriage Proposal That Involves A Flying Ring
 |
| 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!
Esperanza rejects Ricardo’s help when she nearly faints in the halls of Instituto Palacios. Cristina Vélez Valderrama (CVV) helps her walk to the teachers’ lounge.

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.

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.

Hello Patio Pals! I'm experiencing connectivity problems at home. I only have 5 hours at an internet café to watch three episodes and summarize two; so this is going to be short and sweet.
This is Esperanza. Esperanza doesn’t want to cause problems between Ricardo and Cristina but her cancer revelation put a monkey wrench in their shacking-up plans anyway. Esperanza tries to remedy the situation by telling Ricardo that she no longer loves him, that she wants him to be happy with somebody else and that she is now dating Ernesto. Esperanza has a martyr complex. Don’t be like Esperanza.

Tres Veces Ana #45 - May I please ask your wife to be my girlfriend?
Maribel and Ana Lu are having a very painful (for us) reconciliation
session. Ana Lu, having listened to
Maribel’s venomous statements, responds with a listing of Maribel’s qualities
she admires and a statement that she loves her. Maribel’s anger has
disappeared, she loves Ana Lu as well, though feels sometimes that Ana Lu is
distant, as if she believed herself better than Maribel. The irony of this last
statement apparently washes right over Ana Lu’s head, and she spends a couple
more minutes baring her soul on refusing Orlando’s advances and her current predicament
with Santi until, blissfully, the scene is cut.

IF----THEN, SO---
IF the police find the box of filched bank documents
tomorrow, THEN Luis, Solorsano and Alicia will face jail time immediately, SO
the only things left to wrap up is how the couples will get paired off.
IF Luis is successful in charging Marissa with adultery,
THEN how does he maneuver it SO Super Oh! doesn’t charge him in return.
IF Luis won’t sign the divorce papers, THEN Marissa will
have to kill him, SO she can finally be rid of him (not likely, though).
IF Hernan suffers a real heart attack, THEN Mariana will
nurse him as long as it takes for him to recover, SO she won’t lose her meal-ticket (lean though
it might be).
IF Camila is found, THEN Fer will get a bottle of
single-toned Clairol and do her hair over, SO she won’t look like a cast-off
cast member at Fer’s wedding.

-- Cristina breaks up with Ricardo because she feels he should be with his dying ex-fiancée who, just 9 weeks ago, was the love of Ricardo's life, by his own admission. Ricardo says he now loves Cristina and wants to be with her.

Tres Veces Ana #39and/or #44 - Lots of Lies While Planning The Next Play
Ramiro, Santiago, aka Marcelo/SanMarco, and Iñaki, continue to play musical mujeres in order to keep the triplets from seeing each other.
Ram keeps Ana Leticia entertained—or is it the other way around since she’s going through a seductive striptease, while SanMarco admits to poor AnaLucia in Yaki’s bedroom(?) that he’s still in love with his wife as well as her now and it’s too complicated to explain. She, no longer feeling so lucky, tells him that she appreciates his honesty, but not to come looking for her again until he decides he’s going to get that divorce he promised her. Ana NSLucky leaves, thinking to race into the other apartment to Ram for comfort but, then decides not to, and gets into the elevator instead. Ram, meantime, admits to Ana MiMi the purely physical attraction he cannot control. He suggests it’s the physical similarity to her sister, Ana Laura. MiMi snickers and says well, since she’s thrown you over for that wheelchair bound loser, Valentin, Ram might as well have taken advantage of her attraction to him. Oh well, Ram’s loss, she taunts as the clothes go back on. Doesn’t he realize they both have a second chance at happiness. He is the only one who could make her whole again and take away the horrible bitterness she felt when Marcelo left her to her fate three years earlier. Ram tells her to hold her tongue.

Ø Ana Llora shows up and walks into Ram’s apartment just as Yaki shows up to check on things. Santi sees and hides. A Llora finds Ram and needs to chat. He takes a moment to signal to Yaki that he’s got MiMi in his bedroom and to handle her while he chats up A Llora. Yaki entertains MiMi for Ram while he takes care of ALlora. He tells her A Llora showed up looking for Ram. “—What’s between those two –A Laura and Ramiro?” She tells him it’s none of his beeswax. “—A bit jealous, huh?”
Ø
A Llora thinks that he can make a good impression on Abuela Ernestina by showing her the ID bracelet Ram gave her. Santi listens from behind the door. (A Llora’s voice is sooooo frail- she’s so enervated--in this scene that her voice and presence practically drives me up the wall. I cannot stand this character ANYmore. Period.) Ram doesn’t agree, but they can discuss it over lunch. She refrains, but he insists that he knows the rules now that she’s with TinTin, and it would only be as friends. She agrees to go then. (--Good, cuz I don’t think I could stomach her much longer and would have to give up on her scenes today……) SanMarco sneaks into the hallway of Ram’s apartment now.
Yaki and MiMi walk into the living room and she’s angry that Ram left with her sister. What’s the big deal? He told you he’s been in love with her his entire life.” That’s a lie, she insists. ALlora turns her back on him and he refuses the opportunity to tell AMimim how much he really likes her. She complains he’s only a opportunist, chasing after their money. Just like him. Yaki notes Santi in the doorway and signals to stay covered. He stutters he doesn’t have the slightest interest in her. They can’t stand each other anyway, right? “You even detest me, don’t you?” Yep, she does. But, oh, she’ll tell him the same as she told Ramiro (in what universe?) that Marcelo was and still is the only man in her life. Yaki agrees. “--That’s fine. Ok. Bye.” She calls him boring, turns her nose up and leaves. Yaki breathes easier. He makes excuses to SanMarco that he doesn’t know where she gets these crazy ideas from. He can’t stand her—and it’s less and less by the day.

Yago Capitulo 40 : The Seeds of Time
 |
| For the love of Life There's a trade off We could lose it all But we'll go down fighting Won't we? |
At a rather comfy old house of Madrigal, Young Ambar is playing hide and seek with her beloved mother. Ambar is telling us that since childhood we always believe that there can be a safe space in which you could hide in when things go bad but at times the safe space simply vanishes like critters. While playing her mother suddenly passes out to her death. A distraught Ambar calls Daddy Cockroach for help. Daddy Cockroach arrives seemingly sad but at the same time very nasty with his youngest daughter and blames her for the death of her mother (Something tells me Daddy Dearest poisoned his wife). Ambar continues her monologue telling that when the safe space vanishes, we have to become our own safe space to be able to protect ourselves.
