Caray, Caray!

The Cuartel

Saimon is in the boardroom with the cuartel trying to offer his help. Saimon says they need a man to help them. Martha says that’s why they have Don Fernando. PM stands up for Saimon and gives all the reasons that Saimon might be helpful. The girls decide that they have a lot of work, and Saimon would be a big help. Irmita says that Don Fernando would be very proud of all the work they’re doing. PM and the rest of cuartel come out to the secretaries’ area and make some calls in front of Alicia. They’re trying to prepare for the video. Martha, of course, is ordering the food. Saimon runs around and takes notes. Alicia looks on, very confused. Irmita calls an agency and asks for all their models, because it’s an underwear commercial. Saimon squeals with glee. Alicia comes over, but the entire cuartel tells her to leave. (I actually feel bad for her here.) Alicia and Saimon go to the side, and Alicia asks him what is happening. Saimon starts to tell her, but the cuartel interferes. He tells her that they’re doing something important. Alicia says that something important for the cuartel would not be interesting for her. She goes back to her desk and her red bag.
Saimon and the cuartel joke about their new important positions. Lola calls somewhere and asks for a pure blood horse. She says this was authorized by Fernando. The person on the other end of the phone doesn’t believe her at first. Eventually, they believe her and ask what color she needs. She asks for a black one, but they only have a brown horse.
Saimon wants to do the casting, PM says he can’t. Lopez enters. Saimon asks Lopez if he thinks a man or a woman should cast an underwear commercial. He says that since Don Luigi… PM interrupts and says that you can’t exactly call Luigi a man.
Lopez and the cuartel continue to talk about who should cast the models. PM says they’ll look at the models first and then leave the decision up to Fernando.
Down in the atrium Celso tells Lopez and Saimon that PM told him to send the models directly to her. Saimon says that he’s now the coordinator of production; Lopez says no, he is. Three models enter. Lopez tells them that he’s the coordinator. Saimon says they need to leave to do the casting. Lopez enters the elevator with the models while Celso blocks Saimon. At the last minute Saimon jumps onto the elevator and tries to throw out Lopez. They arrive at the floor where the cuartel is stationed. PM is not happy and holds a pencil in a threatening position (Saimon has two models on his arm). Saimon just turns around and takes off in the other direction. PM says she is mad because Saimon takes off with the first skinny model that shows up at Conceptos.
In the casting area the first model enters in a bikini while Lopez and Saimon talk about casting the commercial. The rest of the models enter. Saimon asks Becky (the model) to do a walk for him. PM watches on and then runs up to Saimon and yells his name in his ear. Saimon asks what he can offer her. This makes her flip out. He takes her aside and assures her that he’s just working. She should go back to work with the cuartel. Sara comes in with good news for PM and they run out of the room, but not before PM gives Saimon a pinch and tells him to be careful. Saimon asks Becky to do another turn, but more sensual. Now it’s Saimon flipping out. Lopez tries to call him and tells him to be more professional.

Alicia
Alicia goes to the pawn shop. She hopes no one recognizes her. She’ll lose all her prestige if someone does. She calls her father complaining about her situation. The guy at the window tells her they’re ready for her. She takes her jewels to the man at the window and tells him how much she wants for each piece of jewelry. She’s asking for hundreds of thousands, he tells her hundreds. Oh, you mean dollars? Okay! No, you’re in Mexico, we use pesos! Alicia says he’s trying to play her for a fool. He says that he’s a professional and her jewels are just not very good quality. Alicia stalks out of the shop.
Alicia goes back to Conceptos, still incredulous about her experience at the pawnshop. She stops by the boardroom, trying to overhear what they’re talking about. She snoops around their desks and finds the drawing of a woman on a horse. “What is this?!” she asks herself with her mouth wide open.

Lety and Fernando

Fernando asks Lety to get back in the car, everyone is yelling at Fernando and Lety. Lety runs off. Fernando asks some guy in a red car next to his, what he should do. Fernando kisses his car good-bye. Fernando is grabbed by a kid and a man who implore him not to run after Lety. Fernando says he needs to know what’s going on with Lety and runs off after her. Lety runs around the corner and is upset because she had to lie to Fernando. She hears him yelling and flags down a bus. Fernando comes around the same corner and attempts to chase down the bus. There is a lot of people on the bus, and none of them are very friendly. Fernando slowly jogs behind. (This must be the slowest bus ever!)
The bus runs into another traffic jam; Fernando is still trailing behind. He gets onto the stopped bus and yells for Lety. The driver tells Fernando that he has to pay. Fernando says he’ll pay for himself and Lety. They banter about the price and Fernando says it’s very economical to ride the bus. Fernando heads back to Lety and stops to dance with the guitar man.
Fernando has a rough time getting to the back of the bus. He gets run over by a man half his size and twice his age. Then he runs into some woman who doesn’t want him to touch her. (She must be nuts! Hello, does she not have eyes??!!!!) The bus lurches to a stop and Fernando has to grab her purse to steady himself. Fernando and Lety jump off the bus. Crazy Lady grabs a police officer and says that Fernando took her bag (Did he not see her holding it?) They give chase.
Fernando and Lety stop running. Fernando yells at Lety for making him chase after her and leave his car alone in the street. Lety says it’s his fault too. Crazy Lady and the police officer show up. Fernando wants to run, but Lety says that Fernando needs to confront her. The lady hits Fernando with her bag. They run behind a van to hide from the lady. Uh-oh, inside the van is a very obviously dead body, complete with a machine gun to boot. Fernando hushes Lety and they sit there, unaware of the surprise right behind them.
Soon we see another guy with a machine gun. Oh! It’s a movie. The director tells one actor to pretend to shoot the other. He tells the other that an ugly woman will come running into the scene. The director shouts, looking for the ugly woman.
Fernando sees the dead body. He screams. The dead body tells Fernando not to disturb him because he’s working. Fernando and Lety push through the crowd in front of them claiming that they’re part of the production team. “The ugly woman has arrived!” shouts the director of the movie. Applause and kazoos!!!!
The director yells at Lety for being late. Fernando pretends to be her hairstylist. He gets mad at the director for yelling at Lety and pushes him. The director pushes him back. Crazy Lady and the Policeman come onto the scene for a moment, but movie security throws them out. The Director yells at Lety again and she turns to leave. The crowd protests. The Director punches Fernando. Fernando tells Lety he needs to talk to the director. Fernando butters him up by asking him if he did some famous pictures. The director says no. Fernando says he can’t believe that he didn’t do those movies. The director walks over to Lety and asks his make-up guy to make Lety even uglier. The make-up guy says he can’t. She already looks like a monster. The director agrees. Lety is not amused.
Fernando hides in the van. Crazy Lady and the police officer pass by looking for him. Meanwhile, Lety is talking to one of the actors while playing with some button. The director tells her not to touch that button, because it would ruin the scene. The director goes over the scene with her and the actor.
Marcia calls Fernando from Germany. She wants to know everything he’s been up to. He tells her that would be expensive to tell her everything since she’s calling from Germany. Fernando relents and actually tells her the truth about the day (he had to leave his car; some lady accused him of taking her bag and now he has to save Lety!) Marcia tells him not to lie to her because she knows he is with her lover. Crazy Lady finds Fernando and he grabs Lety to tell her to run. She accidentally hits the button and that causes a whole bunch of marks to go off on the actors chest. Crazy Lady thinks it’s really blood and faints. The director is upset because the whole scene is ruined but calls an ambulance.
Lety and Fernando see a tow truck taking his car. Fernando goes after the tow truck employee and asks why they’re towing his car. The guy says the car has been there for more than three hours. Fernando says, but it was parked! The tow truck drives off anyway. Lety says they should run after it. Mind you, Lety is running with a fake machine gun behind her back this whole time.
Fernando has his car back. Lety asks him where they are. Fernando says he knows exactly where they are. Lety says they’re late and she just wants to go back to the office, besides, this doesn’t look like that good of a neighborhood. The local neighborhood gang comes by and walks up to the car. Fernando says oops and Lety just whines. The men make fun of how ugly Lety is (Apparently, they don’t have any mirrors in their homes). Fernando starts to defend Lety, but Lety protests. The guys start taking the car apart piece by piece. Fernando says he’s going to use his cell phone. Lety reminds him (wink, wink) that he doesn’t have a cellular. Oh yeah! I don’t have credit cars either. The guys order them out of the car and grab Fernando. Lety whips out her gun, tells Fernando to get behind her. She tells the gang to get on the ground and then shoots off the fake gun. The group runs off. Fernando is impressed, but Lety is scared. She laughs after she thinks about it and Fernando gives her some kisses on the cheek. He takes her back to the car where she limply lays in her seat. Fernando exclaims about his lost taillights. Uh-oh, the Beamer won’t start!

Will Lety and Fernando ever get back to Conceptos?
Whose going to be cast in the commercial?
Will the filler episodes ever end?

Tune in tomorrow! :-) Until next time!
