Caray, Caray!

Sort of a boring episode…...the most interesting things seemed even to be presented inconsequentially….but valuable as setting up the foundation of what is likely to become true revenge!!

Caro has managed to blackmail Lety into taking the ride home. I’m not sure strong arming is the way to make someone feel better but we’ll see. Lety doesn’t want to go back to her closet because she doesn’t want to go through his office and see his face…you have to….go get your things, If I go he’ll suspect something…Caro tells her to suck it up and just do it...let’s go.

Fernando calls for Lety, maybe to answer the phone for him? But, he ends up answering and it’s Marcia with her behavior report request from 5000 miles away. Lety goes to get her things, and we can tell Fern’s getting the usual fifth degree asking what he’s doing, of course he’s going home, he’ll wait for her call, Marcia you know I never tell lies….just as Lety walks through. That earns a disgusted roll of the eyes.

Lety punishes herself again and rereads part of “the” letter, this time with Omar’s evil voice over. Was the “ah ha ha” at the end actually written in? I didn’t hear her read it the first time. :)

Why does she torture herself over and over again!!!

Don Fe interrupts and she instantly hides the bane of her existence and puts on her best fake smile. He wants to take her home, but after la escapada he doesn’t want problems with Erasmo so they shouldn’t go anywhere, she should go home right away tonight…he has a surprise for her and wants them to be together tomorrow, though. He kisses her and she stops him, reminding him that someone might catch them, he says he’s become so used to kissing and petting her that he forgets people shouldn’t see them. A few more kisses and he’s gone. This is the best part…she’s so disgusted she actually wipes her lips of his kiss slime onto a towel and makes this exclamation. Someone talked recently about a phrase that no telenovela is complete without, and well if that was the first, then the 2nd most used is desgraciado! which means “rotten, wretched, son of a bitch”…I quote that… I swear it’s in my dictionary… Good for you Lety!!!!


Lola is crying about potentially losing her house to the husband-stealer and reminiscing about how hard her family worked for it. To rub salt on the wound, oh.. um to make her feel better…the kids enter with a surprise for their mother… They were with Gordolobo(?) Fat Wolf and I think they were mad at how long she was always at work so Fat Wolf was telling them how hard Lola works to take care of them, feed them, the usual, and so they decided they wanted to help her to show how much they are thankful for their parents' sacrifices etc. So, they made the house look beautiful and even … cleaned the walls. [Right before it gets taken away from them!!]

Yeah right….kids make pictures, maybe pick flowers…make pinch pots…never do they willingly clean anything in the house…oh and they never understand all their parents have done for them until they are at least 30….

On his way out, Fern notices Clarita- she is cleaning her back pack, isn’t he thoughtful, he fetches her the trash can (so she won’t mess up the office, likely) and notices she throws out his business card…and here it is….drum rolls please…..she tells him it came from la bolsa roja that they ate all the candy from and put the envelope in his briefcase. And there we have it. Just like that. Mystery solved. In 2 seconds of airtime. Don’t feel bad if you missed it.


St. Jude makes a cameo…he is going home with Lety. She is taking so long because she is packing all of her things she tells Caro; she doesn’t want to be here anymore. Caro questions if she is going to resign. Lety stops on the way past Fern desk to smugly say adios to the Mac (sort of).

Fern places a call to Omar the imbecile and tells him what happened with the envelope, thankful Lety didn’t see it. He hangs up on Omar too…Omar is on the sh** list today....flashback to the "Happiness is Lety" bar scene before la escapada.

Fern worries about Lety and misses her.

Another BMW (they must be a sponsor-maybe they even helped pay for the production to go to Germany) and Lety is having a panic attack to get out of Caro’s car nearly jumping out while it’s still moving. She just wants to be alone, but Carolina wants to help and she wants to know why Lety wants to leave Conceptos.
C-You have too much responsibility, the business depends on you… L- tough…get someone else and leave me alone…she wants to lock herself in her house for days…. C- Fern should know you are upset…what did he do to you?….speak to him about it…he offended you that much? There’s something more going on here…she asks. [She is suspicious…smart woman.] L -No it’s my fault. I just want to disappear from the world C- if Fern has nothing to do with this then why punish him? He’ll suffer the most…If your problem really has nothing to do with work then you can’t leave work.


Lola puts the kids to bed. PM asks Lola why she doesn’t get rid of her wedding pictures after all that’s happening…Lola doesn’t want to because of the kids but PM thinks the kids will think Cheque comes back someday as long as the pictures are still there. Lola takes the photo. She loves the photo…. screetch…. she hates the photo….will it end up in the trash?


Carolina talks more to Lety - She now degrades herself...if my parents knew that I really had no principios after all that I failed them and that I could end up betrayed by the man I love the most in the whole world….I think she means her father in reference to lying about where she goes all the time just to be with Fern....


Moty in the flesh….and now he is washed! Julieta is called the universal Mom…she adopted even Tomas…to this even Moty knows how to make a silly Lety smile…Is he wearing braces too? Kinda looks like it…. "Here comes the wolf that is going to eat you” referring to Robopop as he is heard questioning from the other room whether anyone is going to have dinner in this house today. Chauvinist! Fix yourself something!! (I know, calm down....)


C- Can you tell your family about your problems? L- Well, Dad has his issues, but he loves his family…I don’t tell them some things because then they’ll worry. C- Take a warm bath and relax. Now here's some words to live by…. C-Be careful of your first reaction to things. Our animal instinct makes us mad but then after we have our minds back, be careful you don’t regret your first impulse…Lety complains again she’s been murdered. Caro tells her in order to live fully you have to die many times. [Huh? How does that work? Maybe its more like face death many times, actually.] Lety thanks her for everything…and wants to walk alone the rest of the way to her house. Caro finally releases her, but knows something else is up….


Mom knows something is wrong too but Lety blames the flu. Papa teases about the early hour that Lety returns, is it a double? NO it’s her…Tomas calls her the living computer. Lety runs upstairs and her mom worries Tomas offended her. But he says, "why she’s the top of the line computer at least." Tomas goes to apologize at insistence of Papa…Tomas wonders what to say and is worried about having food when he gets back down… Moty whines……papa wants to know what that is. [Moty has been locked in the bathroom so Erasmo does not discover him. What if he needs to go?]


Tomas checks on Lety…he says he meant that she was a unique natural phenomenon worthy of being in a Circus…Lety, come on I’m playing with you…she just wants to be alone…if we end up in the circus you and I will travel in the same car, the Economist’s car, as Ugly Lety and Crazy Tomas…no Lety the genius and Tomas the abominable… Lety keeps crying… Tomas tries harder to make her feel better but she just sobs. Finally she throws him a bone…and what a bone it is… she starts by complaining of fatal blows, she says again…they killed me…

Mom downstairs also now suspects it’s more than Tomas’ chiding…Moty whines again (sounds like a human making dog sounds to me)… Julieta wants to go see what’s wrong with Lety… the parents go upstairs and Julieta sees Tomas with her and decides it’s best to let Tomas handle it…she’ll work it out with him… Robopop responds he’s certain it has something to do with Conceptos…that sinful place, she’s changed since she started there. Moty whines again…."He’s going to have to disturb someone else….I can’t stand dogs," Erasmo proclaims.


Lety starts to share….Tomas I did deserve what happened to me… I didn’t learn from my mistakes…Tell me Lety, I’m like your brother…I’m more, I’m your friend… L- I’m so stupid…I’m the fea of the Colonia and the same story repeated she tells him. Lety spills the beans!!! She tells Tomas of her saga with Fern, that he used her!!!!! Probably because of Tomas, he and Omar thought she was in love with Tomas. T-It’s because you told them I was your boyfriend….What do I have to do with this?

L – Omar and Fern are a pair of mentally ill guys- this 'complement' sounds much better in Spanish though. She tells him the whole story, that they were nervous with him because of FI. He can’t believe they’d think that he was going to rob them, no, she tells Tomas, they thought you would keep the whole business!!!!

Lety continues...One day he kissed me and gave me cards and gifts…..desgraciado…again!!!! I just don’t know men, I guess….

T- why didn’t you learn the first time… L- how could I imagine this classy guy would be capable of such awful things as those barrio rats (ok, I’m taking poetic license a little) when it actually turns out he’s worse… Tomas sort of confirms that she was kind of stupid to fall for him.

Julieta talks to Moty…I told you there would be a problem….he’ll kill me if he finds you.. so be quiet.

Erasmo thinks it must be the neighbors and wants to go yell at them and Julieta tells him to stop, that it’s rude to go over there so late and he asks why she’s worried about their peace when they aren’t worried about ours...no wait the dog is inside… she says it just sounds close and is probably from a particular neighbor. Erasmo agrees and storms out the door to go yell at them. Julieta is powerless...

We go back to Lety and Tomas and she talks about how this all was like a film, and get this..instead of Mexican or even Latin leading men...she compares her situation with Fern to George Clooney or Brad PEEET....I love the way she says that...wonder if these guys know they made it into this show...!

Turns out Tomas saves his revenge speech for the next episode, mostly he just questions how she could think he'd have a chance with a guy like Fern. See Amanda's recap after this and she covers it all....

We still know revenge and a great opportunity for funny happenings are on the way...and I agree, Lety's plot will probably be much more interesting than Omar's!!!!!

Thanks all!
