I intend to write more on UN REFUGIO PARA EL AMOR as a whole later this month when I run down my favorite telenovelas of the year. For now, some words on the final week, which was darker and more somber than I anticipated. This novela managed to maintain a wonderfully balanced tone through its run, but the humor waned in these final episodes as the novela went after tears instead and earned them: Don Aquiles making peace with the daughter he never knew he had, Violeta, and her mother before his death and funeral; Patricio discovering the proof that street ragamuffin Mateo was Luciana and Rodrigo’s son, missing five years and the subsequent reunion of them all as a family; and saddest of all, Patricio’s death in the final episode after complications in surgery he hoped would allow him to walk again.

TELENOVELA WATCH: A Look At EL CAPO 2, Now English Friendly; Plus, AMOR BRAVIO & EL ROSTRO DE LA VENGANZA
EL CAPO 2 (weeknights at 9 p.m. ET on MundoFox), the flagship program at MundoFox, is now the first to be made English friendly by the network. Hard English subtitles were added to the late night rerun (11:30 p.m. ET) a few weeks ago; now, the 9 p.m. airing also has English subtitles available under closed caption 1 (CC1), a nice surprise as most of the programs on the network do not even have Spanish captions at this point.
