La Fea Más Bella #100 9/11/06

I tried to organize this the best I could. A lot happened this episode so here we go...

Lola, Yazmin and El Cheque
PM calls Lola to come down to talk with el Cheque because he’s mad. She enters but before anything can be said, Saimon comes in and talks with all the kids. PM (not so subtly) tells Saimon to leave. He takes all the kids with him. Yazmin gives him a rub of the shoulder right before he goes. Lola tells el Cheque that his kids prefer to be with Saimon more want to be with him. El Cheque tells Lola that he is not happy that his kids arrived in a taxi and that she’s an irresponsible mother. Lola asks him how many times he’s picked the kids up from school. More arguing. Lola calls him fat. Yazmin assures him that he’s thin. More arguing. Lola lets el Cheque know that the kids weren’t in the taxi with a stranger; they were with Martha’s husband… oh, and by the way, they look at Saimon as a father more than they do you. Maybe they’ll start to call him dad. More arguing. Lola basically tells him to stuff it. PM gets the last laugh when she makes a joke about how fat he is after Yazmin calls him thin again.
Meanwhile, Saimon plays with the kids in different parts of the building. Saimon imitates driving a real motorcycle in a dirt bike race. Lola arrives and she’s irritated. Saimon tries to cheer her up with his driving act, but gets a smack on the hand instead. Later, Martha, Lola and the kids eat in the boardroom. Martha and Lola walk off so they can talk about El Cheque.
Outside, El Cheque lets Yazmin know that he’s not feeling so good about the situation with his kids. Since he’s been with her, he’s been neglecting his them. Yazmin does the whole well, if you want to break up dance. Her Flaquito assures her that’s not what he wants. Inside, the kids eat with Martha and Lola in the boardroom and complain about having the same food as always. Martha pulls Lola aside to discuss what happened with El Cheque.
At the end of the day, Alicia watches as Lola puts her kids in the elevator to go home. Yazmin and Lola fight. They go back and forth until Lola tells Yazmin that she is pretty much a nobody who goes around with a fat man. Yazmin insults her back. Luckily, the cuartel steps in to stop Lola from jumping Yazmin who fakes a panic attack and runs off smiling.

Cristina Rivapalacios

Luigi presents some of his ideas to Carolina and Cristina. Lety calls and he tries to hang up on her. She lets Luigi know that Fernando wants a personal meeting with Cristina. Lety tells him that it will be a professional meeting only and then hangs up on Luigi. Luigi tells Cristina that the President wants to talk to her, the president of the company of course! Cristina says she doesn’t have time, but Carolina says its probably a good idea that she go meet with Fernando.
Cristina leaves the office with Saimon following her, giving her compliments. The cuartel looks on shaking their heads. Saimon asks Cristina if she wants to go to a restaurant to talk in private. Cristina lets him know that she doesn’t have any other plans on Friday. Cristina tells Saimon that she would like to go to el Georgia. She tells him that she loves motorbikes. The cuartel roles their eyes. Martha looks like she’s constipated. (Sorry, couldn’t think of a better analogy) Saimon wants to know the location of the restaurant. “Well, it’s not exactly local. It’s in Santiago in Chile.” Saimon has been duped and the cuartel loves it. He tries to act like he knew it was a joke the whole time. Cristina leaves with Saimon crawling after her.

The Kids

After eating, the kids go to Fernando’s office and check out the bag. After a long scene with Lety in Fernando’s office, the kids come in and open Fernando’s bag. They accidentally rip open the bag and then try to cover up their mistake. They stuff all the presents in their clothing. Lola comes running in and tells them that Fernando will cut their heads off if he finds them in his office. They all run out. The only thing left in the office now is the letter in Fernando’s briefcase. (Fernando has a briefcase??)
The kids wait outside eating some of Lety’s presents. They make a promise that no one will know what happened with the bag. Clarita decides to throw away the stuffed animals. She wants to get rid of all the evidence. They all promise each other that they won’t tell anyone about what happened with the bag. Martha’s husband pulls up and wants to know if anything interesting happened. No, they assure him.

Fernando
Roman and his gang call Alicia and let her know that they’re outside Conceptos and they want to see her. She’s horrified. Fernando drives up and recognizes Roman and his gang. He remembers the night he got into a fight with them. Then he remembers Lety’s story about the bet and her first time. He clenches his jaw, resolves to avenge Lety and slowly get out of the car (How can none of the gang recognize a purple BMW? It’s not exactly a car one sees everyday.) Fernando punches Roman a couple times and tell him that he’s going to leave Lety alone from now on. Fernando tells Roman that people like them shouldn’t be allowed to exist, Roman charges and gets smacked on the back of the head. Roman recovers and wants to know what is Fernando’s problem. Fernando asks him if he remembers the bet. Roman says he does and punches (more like slaps ) Fernando in the face. Fernando punches him back and knocks him down. He lets Roman know Lety now has someone to defend her and not to mess with her anymore because then he’ll have to deal with Fernando. The gang hears a siren and scurries off. Roman and the gang drive up to Fernando in their car, and he tells them that if they ever mess with Lety again, they’ll pay. They drive away. Fernando gets back in his car (why? I’m not sure) and remembers more of Lety’s story. Celso interrupts and tells him that he was impressed by Fernando beating the gang up. Celso said that he would have sicced his dog on the boys if Fernando had needed. Fernando tells Celso not to say anything about the fight.

Lety
Lety comes back to the office after her tears in the park. Juana and Sara run up to her wanting to know how the lunch went. She says she not going to talk about it, but lets everyone in the room (including Alicia) know that the conversation was private and that she ate very well. Sara tells Lety about the bag she found in Omar’s office. Lety brings the bag into Fernando’s office. Fernando calls Lety at the office and they discuss Cristina Rivapalacios. Fernando wants to talk to her and do some damage control in case Luigi said anything bad. Fernando asks what has happened back at the office. Lety starts to tell him about the bag and then changes her mind. You can tell by Lety’s actions that for whatever reason she doesn’t seem to be feeling as guilty about the relationship as she did in the beginning of the episode. Lety calls someone to find Cristina. She’s in Luigi’s office.
Sara brings Sara a letter. She stares at the bag; Sara wants to know what is in it. Lety and Sara go back and forth about whether they should open the bag. Lety won’t let her open it; it’s Don Fernando’s to open. Sara walks off frustrated. Lety stares at the bag. Lety touches the bag. Lety talks about the bag. “What if Fernando is urgently waiting for what’s inside?” She tries hiding it under the desk. “It’s disappeared!” This doesn’t work. She tears it open slightly. “Oops I opened it!” Inside she finds an engagement ring and a card. The card is a proposal. She puts the ring on and dances around. Oh wait! It’s a dream. The bag is still closed, and Fernando’s secret is safe… for now.
Lety goes into her office and calls her mom and tells her that she has a dilemma. She wants to know if her mom has ever been really, really curious about anything before. She’s basically trying to get her mom to tell it’s okay to open the bag without saying exactly what is happening. Her mom says some things should stay secret. Doubt at time can be a good thing. Lety genuinely tells her thank you.
Lety comes back, inspired by her mom’s speech and sees that the bag is gone. The kids had put Omar’s letter in Fernando’s briefcase. Lety closes the briefcase and clears his desk. Cristina comes into Fernando’s office and finds Lety under the desk. Lety offers her something to drink. Fernando comes in. Lety notices that something is off with him. Lety walks off but she is still worried about what happened with the red bag.

Is Omar’s letter now safe?
Will Fernando tell Lety the truth about the fight?
Tune in tomorrow! Have a great night everyone!

Love to all...
 

Awesome, Amanda. You got all the details that would have taken me forever to figure out. I couldn't follow the Lola/Flaquito and Lola/Yazmin conversations at all. (In such cases I usually sum them up as "they argue and Alicia enjoys the spectacle.")
 

Thanks, Julie! I did have to rewatch it. :-) Definitely, one of the better Lola/Yazmin scenes in a while.
 

I am not sure why Lety seems to forget her guilt over Marcia and Fernando. I think we're meant to assume that the mysterious bag has given her some hope.

Which is odd since the bag has Fern's name on it, not hers. If I were in Lety's chunky shoes, I would assume that the bag was left (or sent) by Marcia, Cristina, Fern's parents, or maybe even Ricky Armstrong in lieu of kisses. But not for me.
 

Excellent recap...yes Yasmin is using Oxygen for no apparent reason...She needs to be stuck w/El Cheque for life
 

I was actually thinking that Yazmin and Omar might be a good couple. She's pretty, he's rich, and they're both shallow. I think it would work.
 

D'oh!! I did it again!

"Cristina Rivapalacios" is not the same person as the TV talk show host Cristina, whose last name is Saralegui. (There's not much resemblance, either, and half of you are probably laughing your asses off at me right now, but I hadn't seen Cristina S. in a long time and didn't remember.)

Needless to say, she probably didn't invite the feas to a taping of her show, or at least not a taping of the real Cristina show.

I will post a formal retraction with Wednesday's recap, but wanted to acknowledge my mistake now. Poo! Sorry!
 

Hi Amanda and Julie, Great recap! Julie, why not Omar and Marcia? I think Yazmin is obnoxious (like Ariel but not as bad)! I'm anxious to see more "Super Fernando!"
 

Overall, Marcia is a nice person. She's helped Alicia, Lola, and Paula Maria when they've been in trouble.

She doesn't always seem so nice around Lety, but can you blame her? The situation is actually worse than she thinks.

On the other hand, I have never seen a shred of humanity in Omar. Any "help" he gives to Fernando is simply to protect his own position in the company. At one point last week I thought I saw a flash of concern on his face for about a nanosecond when he heard what Miguel and Roman had done to Lety, but in retrospect, I think it was just abdominal cramping.

I don't know who I'd set up Marcia with, but she definitely deserves better than a mean jerk with gas.
 

I'm also convinced that Omar has some intestinal problems. See my early recaps for details. This guy needs a product placement for some laxative pronto.
