Tres Veces Ana #78/79: Altered Egos OR Facing The Hiss Pitting Image
While Iñaki and Santiago get good and snakkered (I love this Norwegian-based term, snakker=talking/speaking) on two bottles of a most expensive brand of tequila, discussing the vices and virtues of Ana Leticia versus Ana Lucia, Ana MiMi has a major meltdown over her missing Marcelo whom she believes must be in his mistress’s arms. Ana Not-So-Lucky, meanwhile, is examining SanMarco’s wedding ring and musing the meaning of the inscription: Ana Leticia. “--Must be his wife’s name.” (Ding-ding-ding!!!) And, Orlando, as usual, is sticking his obnoxious and greasy oar in where it is not wanted.
Orly begins bugging NSLucky about the wife and unskillfully points out how perfect people at Danzaire think they are as a couple. That’s only for the particular performance. He doesn’t get it. “—Not all taxis that pass by are free. His has a passenger in it already.” (Apt yeah but he doesn’t stop there.) He inserts himself as the best alternative to Mr. Alter-Ego. (As Hubby always tells me, even the ugliest man thinks himself an alpha-male, totally irresistible if only the woman involved would remove her blinders. –In his case, I’d rather keep them on.) The only thing of interest for Ana NSL is that he mentions he knows who Ana Leticia is-and Orly plays his hand pitifully, if not pitiably.
Yaki and SanMarco discuss Ana NSL taking his ring from him and putting him in Dutch with her sister for “losing” it. He cannot go home now. Listen to me, says Yaki, I don’t sermonize like Ramiro, but I give you decent advice. SanMarco wants to follow it and grab Ana Lucia and just go to places unknown for the rest of their lives, he says, but he’s got nothing to offer her. Besides, they’d be fugitives for life, especially as there’s still somebody out there looking for him. Not a life she deserves, ya know? Marcelo needs his revenge, though, and is who shows up when he's in need of an answer. Darn it all.....

Sueno de amor, #101, Friday All talk and no play
For those of you who thought that this was going to be an action packed episode, there is nothing for you to see here. But for those who hoped they would be subjected to another never ending episode with people having the same conversations over and over again, then you are in the right spot.
Get a chair, make yourself comfortable and let the talking begin.
(scene have been combined, for better flow)
The hors d'oeuvre are so tasty, but who cares about them?
We open the episode on Cristina and Ricardo fighting overthe other woman the walking dead the wedding menu. She can see that he's showing to much "hate" for it not to be hiding some leftover feelings of love. So, are they going to get married or not? Ricardo denies everything, he's even upset that she would doubt him after all that he has done to show him his love for her.
The wedding planner drops by in between their fighting, and even whispers at one moment that there might not be a wedding because of all this mess. Cristina doesn't appreciate the interruption, but her mind is set on figuring out what's going on in Ricardo's head. She finds it hard to believe that he would remain indifferent to Esperanza's love. She asks him to look her straight in the eye and promise that he wants to marry her because of love, and not because he committed to it and he promised to the kids.
He swears he loves her and only her. She cries from relief and they kiss, but I'm still having a bad feeling about this. He's very believable and I'm sure that he truly believes what he's saying, but the Patio knows better.

Un Camino Hacia el Destino-Week 26 (Aug 15, 2016) 2d Half
Luis has Pedrito in his clutches and is now going after Fernanda.
He’s planning to travel under false passports with the baby’s name changed to
Luis and his daughter as Luisa. (Is
there an egotist in the house?) Fernanda is not going to go willingly, just
because he’s her bio-dad.
The only way she'd ever go with him will be for Luis to threaten her with never seeing her son again. (It’s not speculation, it’s a Sherlockian deduction—thanks, David.) What an agonizing decision for a young mother to make—leave the whole family she’s grown so close to and supports her, the love of her life, a bright future (in charitable works, not artistic excellence) in order to be reunited with her son and have to live with someone she's hated (although she was making inroads in her own mind to forgive him—but not necessarily love him) in a country and culture far away from where she belongs. Ay de mi. What a dilemma for us to have to watch in the last week of our travels on the Camino as it brings us nearer the Boda at the End of the Road.

New Telenovelas/Series Coming to Univision- Aug/Sept 2016
Hola Amigos!
Read more »
Here’s an update on some changes coming in the next few
weeks to Univision’s lineup, if you haven’t already seen the ads. Three new
shows are coming our way. Two of them are not so new, as one is a popular
telenovela that aired in Mexico in 2014, and the other already aired as a
Netflix series last year. Keep in mind that Univision has been known to change
its mind often, and last minute. No word yet on if Uni still plans to split Tres Veces Ana into 2 seasons (temporadas), but it seems they don't. If you would like to recap any of these new shows, please let Blog Mom/Jane/Melinama know. Let’s
go in order of Univision start dates…

Sueño de amor, Ep. 110 (8.18.16) If you love him set him free, if he doesn't come back, GO GET HIM!!
A quien le dan pan que llore!
We start this episode with Cristina Vélez Valderrama and Espy talking about Ricardo. What else?
Since CVV thinks she still loves him, she needs to know the ground she is on.
Esperanza, a known flipflopper, replies this time that despite still loving him too, she is no longer interested in him. My word is my bond and I am now with Erny.
She should put that in writing, sign it, and seal it with a Notary Public, because we know how often she makes bad decisions and then she reverses everything always for her convenience.
The card on Espy's sleeve is that argument that even when she no longer wants Ricardo, "she is not responsible of what he feels" meaning, I don't want it, but if he comes to me I will take it! After all, 20 years are 20 years!
Let's synchronize our feelings, I love him and you don't, ok?
OK, you are sure. Yes.
Is that your final answer? Yes.
You will not think you are dying again and change your mind AGAIN. Yes, I mean no.

Yago #55, Wednesday August 17, 2016: All You Need Is Love
Flashback: Sara remembers going to dinner at the Guerrero home to meet Omar's parents. She is nervous. So is he - she's the first girlfriend he's ever brought home to his parents. Sara tells us to treasure the good times.
Sara's nostalgic reverie ends when she sees Ximena sitting in her old spot at Yomar's side. She coolly announces that she's just here to drop Mati off, and then she leaves. No one attempts to introduce the two women to one another.
Sara thinks back to all the times she's had sex with Yago - on the sofa, on the table, in the car... she woefully tells us that at one time she thought she had found love and a true family. But everything can change in an instant. Boo hoo.
At dinner, Mati says he and his mother visited Ambar's grave. He apologizes for yelling at Yago for killing Mati's aunt; Mati knows now that that wasn't true. Yago asks if they can be friends, but Mati says that his parents are divorced because of Yago. Poor Ximena tries to steer the conversation back to dinner-related stuff.

Tres Veces Ana - #74 and 75 - Cheaters, zombies and murderers - Tarantino has nothing on Televisa!
Skipping over the substantial repeat we had from yesterday
(Facundo planning to get his paws into Ernestina inheritance via Leonor, the
confirmation of the latter’s relationship to Ernie, and Facundo’s performance at
the hostel informing everyone his dear sonny will not be gracing them with his
presence ever again!)
Part I
Ana Lu, who ran away in tears from this spectacle, is in her
room demanding Soledad gives her an answer on why Facundo was singling her out
as the one who knew all along this will end in tears for Ana Lu. Soledad doesn’t
have a good answer. She responds with pointing out that Facundo is an arrogant
person, who looks down on everybody and will say what he needs to. He is
capable of anything to keep his son away from them. Who knows if Ana Lu is
satisfied with this flimsy explanation, but she is fed a sleeping pill to help
her rest and told by Sole that all things happen for a reason and all will work
out fine.

Sueño de amor #109 Wed. 8/17/16 Cristina of the X-Ray Vision or a Liar by Any Other Name: Esperanza? Ricardo?
Still outside of the church, Esperanza becomes aware of Ernesto's kidney problem and confronts him about it. He says it does not matter; because her well being is all that matters to him. She is worried that he put himself out too much for her day and night. She insists it is her turn to support him. She will be with him and do whatever is necessary. He did not do all that he did so that she would do something for him. He did it for love and totally selfish reasons: he wants to be with her. No discussion for her: she will be with him and as they overcame the cancer they will overcome his illnes. Ernesto, who has not stopped smiling throughout this whole exchange, thanks her and asks if he can give her a kiss. They kiss right on the lips. (The scene would have been much better if Pato, Pedro and Luca were not like a Greek chorus of grinning goons in the background.)
Anastasia is at the Gallo house talking to Erasmo who is holding Luquita. She is all excited about the prospects of working at the Instituto Palacios even though she will have to leave Luquita in a nursery for half the day. Erasmo is happy because it would free up their afternoons to see each other. She should go to the interview and see if the job is something she would like. Anastasia thinks about how she was so hard on Luca's secretaries and now how she might be a secretary just like them.

Yago #54: Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner
Hola Yago Patio! This episode made me burn with rage at
Lucio. I didn’t know I could hate him more than I did after he aided Ambar’s
murder, but that was just a preview to the hate I feel for him now. -Vivi
Flashback: Katia flashes back to a time many years ago when she was in search of a new, intense high. She had been sent by her usual dealer to a flop house, where dozens of addled-brained drug addicts roamed the halls and filthy rooms. The proprietress of this fine establishment is happy to get a new victim, and instead of giving Katia the cocaine she requests and pays for, she injects a very nervous Katia with her first ever hit of heroine. A new addiction is born. Katia’s voiceover tells us that what drove her to addiction was her compelling need to turn over the reins of her life to someone or something else. “The most dangerous thing about Hell, is that it’s a thousand times more tempting than Heaven.”

Tres Veces Ana #72 and #73 - It's My Party & I'll Cry Si Quiero
Color Guide:
*Rehash in Red
*Recall in Blue
*Reader Reactions in Green
Rehash: Marcelo is arguing with Evaristo about the contents of the security box. Marc wants to thank the secret squirrel that helped Alfredo. Santiago will just be a memory, and he'll go after everyone including Solebad. Ev threatens him if he does, but Marc is over this convo and boops Ev on the head, who is strategically placed in front of the bed so he can ballerina twirl before knocking out. Marc searches for the key, but an Ev seedling comes in. Marc ambushes him with orders to take him to his bromantic friend, Ramiro. Ramiro is tied up and gagged, just the way we like him. The grandthugs (gracias Ria!) are taunting him with a gun and waiting for Ev's orders. Llora sobs in her room.
Recap: AnaLu sits with Nerina to apologize for getting them both in trouble. Nerina tells a despondent AnaLu not to worry, she can come to her for any help anytime. She went to the hospital that morning but didn't get a chance to see Santi. She asked her if she thinks they'll have a party ready by tomorrow. Our Ana Luchador is thrilled hearing this, this means he's gotten better and she'll see him soon!

Yay! Dr. Cutie Pie is back! In all his years of practicing medicine, Dr. Medrano says he has never seen a case like Esperanza's (because they don’t exist) and he can only classify it as a “miracle” (the correct scientific term being “writer’s whim”).

Yago #53 Is it a True Truce?
Flashback: Camilo hears a gunshot, runs upstairs and there is Julia, age 3 or so, standing next to a gun she fired on the floor. A worried Camilo hugs her and tells her that he’s going to be more vigilant and watch her more closely. Julia’s voiceover says that unconditional love makes one feel secure and protected. She never thought that that promise of keeping a loved one safe would be so difficult to fulfill. That one day she would have to defend that love from true bullets.
Present day: Julia arrives to save her kidnapper.( I think it odd that they would plot to just kill Camilo outright like this, they’ve had plenty of opportunity in the past to kill him)
Teo grabs her then lets her go, then Yago grabs her, but Teo announces that she’s pregnant, and to be easy with her. Teo won’t be happy until he tells everyone about the pregnancy. I’m trying to keep this recap short. So, needless to say, she foils the plot to kill Camilo. And in the process, Katia tells the entire group that Julia is pregnant.

Pedro, Pato and Ernesto are wailing next to Esperanza’s frail and, by the looks of it, lifeless body. Luca is tearing up nearby. Anya is standing awkwardly in the middle of the brouhaha, no doubt feeling like she is intruding on a private moment and, quite probably, beating herself up for not leaving Casa Guerrero earlier. The efficient priest just goes about his business as if nothing and gives Esperanza the last rites. Maybe he needs to be somewhere in a hurry.

Un Camino Hacia el Destino-Week 26 (Aug 15, 2016) 1st Half
In
a short refrito, the unfried Luis Montero is seen escaping up the stairs of the
prison so he can be with his daughter and grandson. [Lots of luck, Luis—I hope
you trip and fall and no one can put you back together again.]
Carlos is fixing a meal in the cabaña for his little family. Marissa and Iggy interrupt and Mar asks Paco to take Pedrito out to play. Then she tells Fer about the fire at the prison and that Luis was roasted to death in the kitchen. Fernanda has a look of disbelief on her face.
Fer calls Amelia to tell her Luis is dead. It’s hard for her to believe, but it’s true. While she’s on the phone, Carlos, Marissa and Ignacio talk about Luis. Carlos loathed him, but wouldn’t wish such a horrible death on anyone. Fer finishes her conversation and tells the group Amelia isn’t going to cut short her honeymoon.
Iggy wants to ask Fer if she knows of any relatives Luis might gave. The three of them knew him best, but they are also the ones Luis hurt the most. He’s asking because if no relation claims the body, he’ll be buried in a common grave without a marker. Fer says, then, they need to do that. Marissa gently tells her if that’s what she wants, Fer will have to acknowledge she’s Luis’ daughter.

Fer
goes outside to clear her head. All the awful confrontations she had with Luis
get rewound and reviewed. Carlos comes out to comfort her. She tells him about
all the times Luis asked for her forgiveness and a little affection and now
it’s too late. Carlos reminds her Luis only caused them all harm and she
shouldn’t feel guilty about not responding to his petitions for forgiveness.
Fer
and her big heart realize he was a human capable of remorse and changing, but
she wasn’t ready to forgive him and now he’ll never know. She feels terrible.
Carlos holds her tightly.

Tres Veces Ana - #70 and 71 - All roads lead to Evaristo!
Happy Monday and happy last week of two hour episodes (…we
think anyway)!! This was a very action-packed episode, so get ready!
We return to Santi’s hospital room, where he and Facundo are
arguing over what sort of terrible people Santi has made acquaintance with in
those dark,, dark days when Facundo didn’t know Santi was alive (you know, when
Santi was allowed to grow an unkempt beard and live like a hermit in a cave
that didn’t even look like it had running water. Oh wait, that was Facundo, not
Santi! But anyway, we are sure those places Facundo is referring to are much, much
worse and have roaches to boot.) Santi wouldn’t hear any of it. And by the by,
while they are on the topic, he needs to warn Facundo to leave his madrina
alone – he knows that he treated Rem very badly. The whole scene from Friday is
repeated, as is the one with Rem and Sole with their musings on life and the
mysterious and powerful force of protection love has.
