Caray, Caray!

And away the Mercedes goes, fake logo and all! Saimon attempts to console Alicia. If he had the money, he would help her. She cries and lets him hold her.

The woman in the meeting asks Fernando if they can help Alicia. He says no, her problem is psychological, not economical. Besides, she has borrowed a lot of the company’s money. She can’t pay her debts because she is not responsible. Luigi agrees. They lady says she understands. Fernando brings the conversation back to business and turns the meeting over to Lety.

Saimon continues to try to comfort Alicia. She throws him off and storms back into the office. He yells at her that he hopes her poverty did not rub off on him. He wipes his arms just to make sure. He cannot believe she treated him like this when he offered all of his help.

The woman and Fernando talk. Lety shakes hands with all of them and leaves. Alicia enters the room, crying. Everyone watches her dramatics. Fernando says that there is a special program for people like Alicia. Everyone says goodbye. Luigi hits on one of the men. Irmita enters and lets Luigi know that everything is ready. Alicia continues to cry, very loudly. Luigi tells Fernando he’ll be in his studio and then he’s going to check on choreography for Yuri’s event. Fernando says that he will be there. Alicia keeps on crying. Luigi tells her that she sounds like a distorted ambulance siren. It can’t be that important! She cries anyway and says she hurts for her car.

Fernando enters Lety’s office and congratulates on the meeting with the executives from rodaje.com. He says that it is all because of her. He changes to the topic of the Yuri get-together. They are going to go together. It will be an unforgettable night not only because they get to listen to Yuri, but because they will be together. She tells him that she’ll be eating lunch with her family. He kisses her hand. He kisses Lety on the mouth and she wipes her mouth when he turns away. He asks her for a favor. She needs to ask permission from her father for the night. Tonight he wants to celebrate alone together. Lety half smiles. After he walks out of the office, she re-reads part of the letter about Omar telling him to sleep with her if he gets inspired.

Erasmo and Moty share the dinner table. Tomas argues that they can’t find somebody to take the dog and they looked all morning. Erasmo demands that they get rid of it. Julieta interjects and says that the dog can not leave because she gave the dog to Lety. What?! She repeats herself with a much softer tone: “I gave him to Lety!” At that moment Lety runs in and kisses the dog and then kisses Erasmo. He tries to swim away. She thanks him for the best gift in the world (Moty). Erasmo cocks his head to look at Julieta and Tomas. Lety asks what’s up. Tomas says it is weird that she came home to eat; she never comes home for lunch. Erasmo thinks that she came home just to see the dog. No, she wanted to eat with her family. Erasmo asks Lety to keep the dog far away from him because he is allergic. Tomas and Julieta realize this means the dog may stay.

Back at Conceptos, Fernando talks on the phone with Omar. Fernando says that he has not missed Omar at all. Seriously, if they lived in Canada, these two would be married. Omar is hanging out with some women. He tells Fernando about how the filming is going. He asks if Fernando has been keeping up with the instructions. Yes, he’s given her one of the cards this morning. Fernando thinks that Lety has been tense. He asks if Lety could have possibly found out about the engagement ring. We have another re-hash of I don’t want to hurt Lety and Omar saying keep doing what your doing.

Tomas and Lety go into her bedroom. Tomas asks how it went. Did Lety give the company back? Umm… did they give her Marcia’s voice because she sure sounds like her? Lety tells Tomas that she slapped Fernando. He looks shocked. Dramatic music! Mischievous looks from Lety! Too bad we know the truth. Tomas is thrilled. He pretends that he’s announcing a victorious boxer. He asks how Fernando reacted. He didn’t because she hit him in her imagination, but it felt great when she imagined him falling back. Tomas tells her that she needs to do something. Lety doesn’t know what. Julieta calls them to eat. Tomas streaks for the door. Lety asks Moty what she should do. She decides to eat and leaves her room. Lety says that it looks like they’re having a party. Of course, because she’s eating with them! Lety passes Moty to Julieta over the table. He now has his own chair. They begin the family ritual. Erasmo lights a white candle and they each say what it is that they want. Lety is the only one who says that she doesn’t want anything but she is very thankful for her beautiful family. Julieta tells Lety to light another candle. This is done to ask for all the things that they hope the family will become. Tomas encourages everyone to eat.

Alicia cries to her father on the phone about her car. It was worth much more than her debts! She has to pay 40,000 pesos to recuperate it. Sara and Juana listen to her conversation until Lola enters the office crying hysterically. Alicia tells her to be quiet but, Lola’s crying apparently makes Alicia feel worse and she cries again. They call Lety to help with Lola. She says she’ll be right there.

Alicia tells her father that she needs to work. Irmita and Luigi approach. He asks why she’s crying, did her boyfriend leave her. He understands that she has many money problems, but now she doesn’t have to pay anything that has to do with car. He says that someone can be happy, even if they have to ride a bicycle. Alicia replies that she would never be happy with just a bicycle. Luigi takes his leave to go work. Alicia talks some more with her dad.

Juana and Martha run to the bathroom to take care of Lola. Lola is worried that Efren is going to get her house. She talked to the lawyer and he could possibly get fifty percent of everything! Everyone asks what they can do to her help her. Lola says there’s nothing they can do. Sara says they go get El Cheque; PM sarcastically says she’ll kill the woman who took Lola’s husband. Lola says she would never take the father of her children from them. Lety asks if Efren is still paying his child support. She says that Lola tell the lawyer everything. PM thinks that Lola should take a lover and show him off in front of Efren. We slowly see Lety’s face light up. You think she has an idea?

Lety receives a call from Omar. He asks how everything is going. Fine, she tells him. He asks for Fernando. She puts him through to Fernando and moves to her door to listen. Omar tells Fernando that he and Marcia are going the airport now to return to Mexico. Fernando says he’s going to the Yuri event with Lety. Lety remembers when Fernando said that Omar did not know anything and the time when she and Fernando talked in Omar’s apartment about how Omar would find out he brought her. She reads the letter some more - the part about not being able to return to Omar’s apartment. She can not believe that Omar knows everything about the intimacy between her and Fernando. They’re both pigs! She overhears Fernando impatiently telling Omar that they’ll talk tomorrow. He hangs up and calls Lety. He says they need to get ready to leave. Where are we going, she asks? He says they will go to the Yuri event to make an appearance and so Marcia will not suspect anything. Then they’re going to escape and go off to be alone. She asks if they can go to Omar’s apartment. He says okay, but why don’t we go to his house. She confirms she wants to go to Omar’s apartment. Besides, he doesn’t know about them. No, Lety, Fernando confirms. Lety goes on and says that the apartment is very discreet and no one will follow them. Yes, it is and it’s where we shared that special night. I’ve never had a night like that with anyone; it was very special. He makes sure there will not be a problem with Erasmo. Fernando runs off to the bathroom. Lety wants to be intimate and that’s definite progress, but she’s being so distant and cold. He thinks to himself that tonight he’s going to be completely sincere with her and demonstrate to her what he feels. He’s not going to lie. In her office Lety thinks about PM’s idea to make Efren jealous. Lety decides that Tomas would be perfect for this. More re-reading of the Lety

Saimon calls someone to find out about how much it will cost for five songs, three songs…one song? Okay, he’ll check his balance. He turns around to talk to Celso. This serenade is going to cost a fortune! He sees PM enter the room. She goes to her desk and the boys leave. PM pouts.

Alicia complains to Marcia that her car is lost! How can she present herself to any men with dignity? She knows that Marcia warned her, but this is going to affect Marcia as well. Fernando is going somewhere tonight and Alicia can’t follow him. He’s going someplace where there is going to be a lot of beautiful women. Marcia realizes that he’s going to the Yuri event. She tells Alicia to take her ticket from her office and to take her car. Alicia promises to be careful. Fernando will not catch her.

Saimon and Celso talk outside. Celso wants Saimon to hire his friends. Saimon wants to make sure that they’ll be as good as the professionals. Celso reassures him. . Saimon cannot believe that he’s going to spend so much on a serenade.

Alicia searches Marcia’s office. She finds the invitation to Yuri’s event. She’s sure that she’ll meet a rich man there who will help her. She needs one now more than ever. She’s going to have to pretend that she still has her Mercedes and that nothing has happened to her. She’ll make herself herself very pretty and change her clothes. Tonight is her night!

The cuartel observe Celso and Saimon. PM says they have been acting very suspicious. PM worries that he’s arranging to leave with some “friends.” Martha reminds them that Saimon used to like Yazmin. Everyone glares at him. Celso has success! Saimon knows that PM will be thrilled when her Mariachi arrive. PM says she wants to leave with him and wants to know what’s going on. Saimon squeaks.

Lety is in her office. She talks about her idea with Tomas in her head. She remembers when Fernando told Lety that he was jealous of Tomas.

Saimon whines to PM. He says that she should go see her son. He has a surprise. She says that she wants to leave. Alicia teases the cuartel because they’re standing around in the reception area. Sara tries to fight. Martha and Celso hold her back. Alicia wiggles off and accidentally drops her invitation. Sara opens it and realizes that it is for tonight’s event. Celso says he’ll take it to Alicia. Sara has a better idea and rips it up.

The phone rings at the Padilla house. Tomas yells that he’ll answer it. It’s Lety and she tells him that she needs something. Of course! He says. He has great ideas about what they can do. No, she’s going to give him the address to an event. She wants him to come. He doesn’t think that they’ll let him in. Lety tells him to dress up, like in a magazine. No problem, he says. He’ll wear his father’s clothes. Lety, who is so unaware about the hideousness of her own wardrobe, grimaces. She tells him to rent a suit; his father’s suit won’t work. He needs something more modern. Tomas asks if it’s an event for Conceptos. No, she tells him. Fernando invited her. She does not know if anyone else from Conceptos will be there. Tomas gets really excited about confronting Fernando. She tells him to present himself as the manager of Filmo Imagen and as her loving boyfriend. Fernando pops into the office and asks if its time to go. She changes her tone with Tomas and says good-bye “papa.” Tomas catches on and changes his voice. She’s not going to recognize him! She’s going to die when she sees him!

Lety lies and says she was getting permission to go out. She asks Fernando if he wants her to change or to go as she is currently dressed. Fernando tells Lety that she looks perfect, very perfect. She tells him that he must be missing his glasses. No, I have 20/20 vision. Lety yanks his tie and says that he does not need to lie anymore! She pushes him away. She won’t accept any more lies! It’s a day dream. She follows him out of the office. They go to his car. He opens the door for her. She remembers the time she asked for a kiss when she was in Fernando’s car outside of Conceptos. She starts to cry. He tells her to get in the car and shuts the door behind her. Lety cannot look at him. Mr. Oblivious finally notices something is wrong and asks if she’s okay. He says she does not have the enthusiasm she usually has when she goes out with him. He keeps asking what’s wrong and pulls her face toward his. Nothing. He’s still hung up on the idea that she knows about the engagement ring. He asks if he did something to bother her. They talk about Fernando’s behavior when Patricia Manterola was in the office; he didn’t ask the same this time when Rocio was in the office. He reminds her that he asked for forgiveness after the Patricia Manterola thing. She remembers. It was unforgettable. You did very well today! He pulls her fact to him again and leans in for the kiss… sorry, folks, gotta wait until mañana for that one!

Will Tomas accomplish a new, sexy look?
Will Lety allow Fernando to kiss her?
