La Fea Más Bella #95-96 9/4 -9/5/06
Okay I’m trying a new format. Let met know if you like it, hate it; more details, less details. I’ll try to accommodate.
Monday
Marcia & Alicia
Marcia and Alicia talk in the museum about Lety and Fernando. Marcia doesn’t want to talk about it and says they should go party with Luigi. Alicia thinks Marcia should be checking on Fernando. They go back to Luigi who is very happy about the figure in his honor. Alicia, of course, has to say something rude. I think she said “What did you say to get them to make this figure” or something like that. Alicia takes Marcia home to her apartment. More from Alicia about “la otra.” Marcia is, of course, in denial about the whole thing. Alicia wants gas money from Marcia. Later, Alicia talks with Marcia on the phone about Lety. Marcia hangs up on Alicia again saying she’s no longer her private detective. Alicia is in front of Lety’s house. The neighborhood gang sees her get out of her car and get back in. Alicia tells Marcia that Lety’s house is peaceful and she can’t tell if Lety has come home. She decides to go to Conceptos, and the youths follow her. When they get to Conceptos, they remember that Lety works there. Meanwhile, Alicia calls Marcia to see if Fernando has arrived home. Alicia hangs up on her. Alicia knows this means that Fernando is not there yet. The security guard confirms that Fernando and Lety are not at the office.
Erasmo & Julieta
Erasmo is not happy that Lety is late. Julieta reminds him that Lety is far away and it is complicated to get home from the museum. He yells at Lety when she calls. She lets her father know that she’s in Omar’s apartment working with Omar and Fernando. He doesn’t believe her. She says they are working because Omar and Fernando are leaving for Germany tomorrow. They hang up. Roman and the neighborhood kids are outside the Padilla house making noise. Later in the night, while Lety and Fernando are together, Julieta lights a candle for her daughter praying that she is protected from another tragedy. Erasmo comes in and says that Julieta doesn’t need to worry about Lety but he’ll accompany Julieta’s with her prayer.
Paula María & Saimon
Paula Maria, Saimon and the cuartel, walk through the museum. Saimon and PM try to make each other jealous by talking about their “plans” for the night. They all go to grab something to eat. PM and Saimon continue their usual bickering and games. Pm wants a taxi to go “somewhere” while Luigi wants to do the same with his motorbike. Saimon passes out some lollipops to all the kids, while Celso talks to PM. Irmita says that the men should get PM a taxi. PM says that the men have great plans and she wouldn’t want them to disrupt them for her. Juana tells Saimon that PM may too proud to say it, but she really can’t afford to take a taxi. Saimon says he would take PM, but he hasn’t heard anything from her. PM assures him that she won’t be asking for a ride anytime soon. Sara decides she tired of PM and Saimon and takes them aside. She goes back and forth between the two. Can Saimon take her home? Will PM ride with him? Will you talk to her? Tell him thank you, like you mean it. Okay, you guys go together. Celso, you’re going to accompany Lola. Now, hold hands you two. Now do us all a favor and have fun. The cuartel is relieved. All of a sudden, they realize Lety is not with them. Saimon drops PM off at a club. They talk. He says he’s not leaving until he knows she’s safe. She goes to enter the club, turns around and tells him that no one is waiting for her there. She wants him to take her to Lola’s. Then she says she’ll find a taxi; Saimon has friends waiting. Saimon says don’t worry. Not a single person (other than Celso) is waiting for me. They finally admit that all they want is each other. A nice sweet kiss follows.
Fernando & Lety
Fernando and Lety are in his car. Lety is unhappy because Fernando lied to Marcia and because Fernando is leaving with Marcia to go to Germany tomorrow. She thinks that Marcia is going to win Fernando back while they are in Germany. Omar calls. As usual, he wants to know how things went with Lety and Marcia in the museum. He gives his usual warnings about being discreet and suggests that Fernando bring Lety to his apartment. Omar says he’ll find a young lady to give him refuge for the night. More from Omar about how Fernando needs to resolve his problems with Lety. Fernando and Lety argue. She wants to go to her home; he wants to take her somewhere to spend his last evening in Mexico with her before he leaves for Germany. Once again, Fernando does the reverse psychology thing. Lety reminds him how much she loves him and desires him. She relents and says they can go somewhere, but where? He suggests Omar’s apartment. At first Lety does not seem too enthused about the location. She does not want Omar to know about their relationship. Fernando covers himself by saying that Omar has someplace else he has to be. He would take Lety to his house, but that would be the first place Marcia would look. Lety agrees, but she wants some kisses. Once they get to Omar’s apartment complex, Lety does not want to go into the building. Fernando tries to hide from the security guy, but he recognizes him (Juaco, is his name… I think) and gives Fernando the key. Juaco makes it pretty obvious that Fernando has been there before. Fernando tries to rush Lety away. Once they get into the apartment, Lety goes on about how nice the apartment is and how big it is for a single man. Fernando decides he wants a whiskey; his first and last for the day. Lety just wants juice. Lety wants to call her parents. Romantic moment as Fernando hands her the phone and their fingers brush. Lety calls her father and lets him know what is going on. Once she gets off the phone, Lety apologizes for her father’s tone. Fernando replies that she really does have a good father. Lety tries to joke that her father acts as though he is the parent of a model or some great beauty. Fernando tells Lety that she is a special girl, and her father has reason to be nervous. Lety says that Fernando sees her with a different pair of eyes. Fernando says no, you’re the type of woman that needs to be discovered. Lety is nervous that Omar is going to find out about their relationship once the door man tells him that Fernando was there with an ugly woman. Fernando says the doorman will just refer to her as girl, no description. “Because I’m just another of many women?” Lety talks about the type of women Fernando likes. She wants to know how many ugly women he’s brought to Omar’s apartment. None, because I am the first and the last ugly woman. She says she’s an accident and one day Fernando will wake up and go back to his normal life, with beautiful women. If he doesn’t marry Marcia, it will be another beautiful woman. Fernando and Lety go back and forth about the reality of their relationship. She goes to kiss him goodbye, she’s going home. This is one of my favorite moments!!! Check out the sexy move. He starts to kiss her neck. She’s still going on about how bad she feels about the whole relationship; he’s trying to let her know that she’s wrong while trying to subtly let her know that he really does want her with some kisses. She’s talks about how afraid she is. He says no, you don’t need to fear anything. “Yes I do because I love you and you have no idea how much.” “Me too Lety, me too.” They kiss as they start to undress each other. (Anybody else notice how different these kisses are from the first time, or any other time at that?) I love that he lowers her on top of him. It’s like he gives up total control to her. More caresses and kisses while a love song (Leandro Martinez - Besáme) plays over the scene. The next time we see them, they’re in bed making love. There are candles and kisses. We actually get to see Lety’s face without the glasses. Afterwards, Lety is in the mirror looking at herself and smiling. She runs out to Fernando, who is on the couch. They talk about how beautiful it was, and she says it is time to go; her parents are waiting. He’s not so eager to leave. First, he wants to know what happened her first time. She knows about his past; he wants to know about hers. She agrees, but says that it’s not a nice story. It involves Roman and the neighborhood gang. Is that the same group following Alicia????!!!!
Tuesday
Alicia
Outside of Conceptos…Alicia attempts to call Marcia again, and is approached by the neighborhood gang while she is dialing. They would like a ride in her Mercedes. Alicia to tell them differences between decent people and them. They insult her and call her the “queen” but they let her go. The boys want to know why Roman let Alicia go. He’s has a plan.
Saimon & Paula Maria
The two dance in the club while the employees clean up at the end of the night. PM tells him that she’s always been looking for someone and never realized until recently that it was right in front of her. Saimon wants confirmation that he’s talking about him and not Celso or all the guys she talks to on the phone. Saimon runs around the dance floor and announces to everyone that he always knew that PM was the one for him. Saimon says they should cancel all encounters with others and focus only on each other. He tells her that was always hers. Saimon wants another song, but the DJ won’t play anymore. The waiter gives him his bill. It’s another big one. PM wants Saimon to take her to her house. Saimon says no. Seductively, PM asks him where he is going to take her. She kisses him all over. He wants the waiter to hurry. They both run out of the club… I’m not exactly sure to where. I do know they’re both late the next day. J
Julieta & Erasmo
While Lety is telling her history to Fernando, Julieta and Erasmo remember the situation that happened with Miguel. Julieta blows out the candle. She and Erasmo talk about how Lety will always have them and will never be alone.
Lety & Fernando
Lety says she never did anything to Roman or his friends, but they’ve always like to have fun with her. Maybe for a diversion; she doesn’t really know why. She starts her story…
A couple years ago new boy, Miguel, joined the neighborhood gang. One day, when Lety was passing by, they introduced her to him. He flattered her and Lety was entranced. He came over to her house with flowers and chocolates. Miguel introduced himself to Julieta and Erasmo. He would visit Lety often and would present her with cards, flowers, chocolates and other gifts. Lety decided that she would accept him as her boyfriend. Julieta was thrilled about the relationship. Even Erasmo could see that Lety was “illuminated”. Lety felt like everyday she discovered something new. One afternoon, Miguel wanted to make love. He promised that he loved her, and Lety gave in to him. After that day she never had anymore happy moments with him. Erasmo and Julieta see the sadness in Lety, but didn’t know how to help her. Miguel never came back to her house and never called her. He was her neighbor, but she never saw him. Lety put on some makeup and went to his house to ask for him. The woman at the door told her that Miguel was not there and that Lety should never return to look for him. Lety ran into one of her friends and asked her if she had seen Miguel. The girl told her that the whole neighborhood knew that the two of them had sex, even Roman. A couple days before Lety left for university, she saw her friend playing with the neighborhood group. Lety went up to Miguel and demanded that they talked. Roman and Miguel told Lety that Miguel only slept with her for money. It was all for a bet. They laughed at Lety for thinking it was real. Lety went to the corner and declared “Never again!” She cried and wanted to know why her. She never suspected it, but they were always planning this tragedy. She thought he would be the only man she would ever have; all because of a bet. She told her mom all that happened. Her father heard her cry and knew that something had happened. He basically threw Miguel out of the neighborhood.
Back at the apartment Fernando tries to comfort Lety. She keeps calling her self the neighborhood ugly girl. Lety makes a mistake and says “he and Omar” and then corrects herself and says “he and Roman.” Fernando flashbacks to the conversation he had with Omar when Omar told him that he had to make love to Lety. Fernando asks Lety what type of person has the capacity to do that. He also is curious if Tomas participated. Lety tells him of course not, he’s the closest person to me other than my mom, dad and you. He’s always supported me, through all of my suffering. And then one day, Don Fernando appeared. You took away all the disillusionment and showed me how to love and to believe in it again. I’ve suffered a lot and never want to return to that hell. Fernando says he’s not the man that Lety thinks he is. “Of course not! But I know that you’re a good man; you don’t have the capacity to do something like that. Above all, you’re honest, honest with your feelings.” She lets him know that it was hard for her to tell him her story. They kiss and he helps her clear her tears. She leaves to get dressed. Fernando sits on the couch, obviously affected by Lety’s story. He has another brief conversation with God (No lightening this time). Marcia calls and wants to know if Fernando is done with Lety yet. Fernando is very short with her. Lety comes out of the restroom and wants to know who was on phone. When she finds out it was Marcia she volunteers to take a taxi to her house. He tells her no. They kiss a couple of times and then leave.
Fernando drops Lety off at her house. She tells him that she hopes her story did not make him think worse of her. Fernando tells her he was flattered and thankful that she shared her story with him. She rests on his shoulder and says “See you tomorrow.” He replies back. Neither seems willing to leave the other. Lety tells him she’s going to dream all night about him. Fernando says that he will too. Fernando has a conversation with himself while Lety writes in her dictionary. She says this time was completely different from the first time. This time they really did make love. She thinks he demonstrated to her that she really is the woman he loves, that she is the more beautiful than the most beautiful woman in the world. “He is mine.” Lety writes about how she can tell that the whole night affected him like it affected her. He was so loving when she told him her story. He looked at her like her never had before; with love in his eyes. She’s very happy that she’s found Fernando, a man with the capacity to love her.
The next day Fernando wants Lety to come out of her office. She almost knocks him over on the way. An awkward conversation ensues. They change over to business. He wants to know how they are going to finance the jewelry commercial. She lets them know that they’ll have to borrow from Filmo Imagen again. On top of this, the bank only wants to let them borrow half of what they need.
Fernando & Marcia
Fernando arrives at Marcia’s apartment, looks around and says “And now, the interrogation.” to himself. Marcia is waiting on the bed with rose petals spread all over. He keeps walking away from her while she tries to seduce him. She says she knows how to make him less tense. He says he needs to sleep a little. She’s happy that he answered his phone every time she called and told her the truth about what he was doing. Why doesn’t he want to make love to her? He tells her that he’s tired and preoccupied with the trip tomorrow. “None of this ever stopped you before.” Marcia throws Fernando on the bed while Fernando continues to protest. He pulls a pillow to his head and turns away from her. She says she won’t oblige him to be with her after he’s been with his lover. She wants him to leave. While we hear Lety talking about their night and how love has returned to her, we see him in Marcia’s apartment crying.
They arrive together the next day. Fernando takes his leave of Marcia. She’s in a foul mood and wants to know where PM is. Alicia comes up to Marcia and tells her that she has a lot to tell. She asks Marcia how Fernando was when he got home. Marcia tells her he came home early enough but that he was the same as the last couple days. He didn’t want to make love and he was tired. She’s sure that he made love to his woman that night. Alicia follows Marcia to her office. Marcia doesn’t want her there; she wants to be alone. Last night, Fernando was with her, but only in the sense that his body was in her bed. He wasn’t really there. Alicia wants to know how Marcia can let Fernando go to his lover, and then sleep in her bed. “I lost him. I lost him!” Marcia says she’ll win him back when they’re in Germany. Alicia thinks she should go alone and think about the relationship; Marcia should not accept this situation. She should act like the person she really is; a woman of class.
Will Marcia go alone to Germany?
How long before Lety finds out about Fernando and Omar’s scheme?
Has Fernando finally fallen for Lety?
Besos, abrazos y mucho amor!!!!! Until next week!
Labels: fea
I wonder what will happen with Saimon and PM next time Yazmin has a fight with El Cheque and throws herself at Saimon.
I just about died when Fern told Lety "I'm not the man you think I am." I would love to know how he would have finished that thought if she hadn't interrupted him. :)
As for the usted thing... I get it but I don't know how to explain it. For now I'll just say that I think it's a way of showing the divide that persists between the two of them despite their intimate relationship.
I've seen the promos on ABC for "Ugly Betty." I noticed a news item the other day that said they're rewriting it to add more humor. I can't imagine it being as funny as many of the scenes in "La Fea" have been. And it will probably look too polished and miss the charm of "La Fea." I won't bother to watch.
Looks like some of the comedy is about to go away, though. They also do "poignant" well, but I'm not sure how much "sad" I can take for Lety's sake.
Although the love scenes are great,I thought the scenes with her confession were very sad. I hope they do keep the humor which makes La Fea so much fun. I too don't think I could take too much sadness.
I think Lety is actually pretty when you see her in a close up. I'm anxious to see what they plan to do in her re-make!
Right now I think her chances are a lot better with Roman. :)
There's still plenty of potential for laughs and drama with the Lola/El Cheque/Yazmin/Saimon/Paula Maria love pentagon, and who knows, maybe Sara or Juana or Irma could get story lines. Not to mention Luigi. I would love for Omar to get a life too. :-) Or Eduardo could come back for another visit. Or Ana-Leticia... eh, no, let's not be silly. :-)
I agree that Lety is pretty once you've been looking at her for a while and know which parts of her face to ignore. :) It's still not obvious that she looks like Angelica Vale, but you can also see where she's going out of her way to avoid being pretty. The worst effect is the way she always scrunches up her face when she's nervous.
BTW, I've seen "before" and "after" pictures of the original Betty, but I've not been able to find a photo of her first "makeover" (the bad one). If anyone happens to see such a thing, please let me know?
As for Lety's new look - I looked it up on the Mexican site for the show and they said they're actually going to completely change Angelica Vale's look, so don't expect her to look like any pictures you've already seen. I know that the show is about seeing a person beyond the superficial, but I just can't wait until the mustache is gone! :)
Julie, they have clips of Betty's tragic makeover at youtube. I think the clip is titled "Betty que se hizo?"
I'm anxiously awaiting the next recap to clear it up! The show definitely has a more serious tone. Thank goodness for PM and Siamon to lighten it up!
