Caray, Caray!

We get a repeat of the quotation marks and highlighter abuse. Lety excuses herself to go to her office to look over some documents about upcoming meetings.

Lola talks to Marcia about the betrayl of her husband. Marcia says she understands; she can’t believe that Lola’s husband wants half of everything. Lety calls and Marcia asks if she has the clients’ appointments ready. Marcia proclaims that she’s coordinating the meetings and hangs up. Marcia tells Lola it’s okay that she went to see the lawyer that morning. Lola thanks her and walks out of the office.

Sara and Juana comfort Lola. Alicia comes over and asks Lola if Lopez gave her (Lola) permission to come late. Lola says that if Alicia has a problem with it then she needs to talk to her boss, Lety. Alicia sarcastically says she’s trembling with fear. Sara adds her insults. Lola leaves the floor while Sara and Juana continue to argue with Alicia. Sara hits the mark when she starts to talk about Alicia’s repossessed Mercedes. As usual, Alicia looks insulted and then leaves, but not before she gets to answer back. She tells them that she can get her car when ever she wants, blah, blah, blah. She can get another one, a better one. Uh-hu, yeah Alicia; sure you will, and I bet those chiches won’t melt if you light a match under them either. She walks back over to her desk and decides to call Tomas.

Tomas is driving down the street in his not-a-Mercedes Mercedes. The camera makes love to the car. Tomas talks about taking Alicia to the ocean in that car. Shocker! At that moment his cellular rings. Geez, I wonder who it could be? Alicia is calling from the bathroom. She asks Tomas if he remembers her. He slams on the breaks and then starts talking and giggling in his weird voice. Tomas asks for a moment. He very considerately pulls his car over to talk on his phone. He tells her that he’s pulling over his Mercedes, it’s very big so that’s difficult to do. She understands. She has…had one too. She lectures him for not calling. Alicia asks if Tomas wants to go out for coffee or some drinks. She’s missed him a whole, whole lot. She asks if Tomas forgot to call her. No, he tells her I was going to call you when I got to the office. She asks when they can see each other; when will Tomas have time. Tomas states that he has some important meetings tonight but they should get together tomorrow. Alicia pretends not to understand. She whines that she’s bothering him. No, no! Let me think. After looking at his very empty planner, he tells her that their only option is tomorrow. She needs to tell him where and when to pick her up. She complains that she’s all made up and it’s a shame that he’s leaving her alone. Oh well, he can pick her up at her apartment. She demands that Lety does not find out about their date. “Lety!” he exclaims.

Julieta tells Erasmo that she cannot get through to Tomas. Erasmo is upset because he needs Tomas’s help with the car. Julieta tells him that she’ll help him. Erasmo doesn’t want her help because she knows nothing about cars. Julieta stays optimistic and says that she can learn.

Tomas continues to talk on the phone with Alicia. She thought he hung up on her. No, he tells her; he was thinking about what she said about Lety. He too doesn’t want Lety to find out about their date. “She would kill me,” he asides. Alicia says she can’t imagine the problems it would create in the office. Alicia tells Tomas that their dinner tomorrow will be a friendly dinner to talk about business. He buys it hook, line and sinker. Tomas asks Alicia for directions to her apartment. She loves it when he points out how nice her neighborhood is. Tomas lies and says that he has many friends who live there. She tells him to pick her up at nine o’clock. He promises to be on time. Tomas goes into serious scary stalker behavior and talks to Alicia’s photo.

Erasmo and Julieta work on the family car. Moty gets in the way, and this causes the car to start smoking by pushing the pedals. Julieta ineffectively fusses with the dog. Erasmo decides that there is no doubt that women should not work on cars. Where is Tomas!!!??? He throws down his rag in frustration.

Martha eyes Alicia’s candy. She walks over to Sara, but the candy keeps calling. She grabs a white chocolate treat. Marcia is about to put it into her mouth, but Alicia catches her. Alicia demands that Marcia return the chocolate. Martha begs for Alicia to let her have it. Juana and Sara press Martha to return it. oooohhh! Cat fight!

Erasmo accuses Julieta of causing the problems with the car. She says that it’s only a little problem. Erasmo thinks about how much money it will cost to fix the car. Julieta says that it’s time they buy a new car. Erasmo is incredulous. The car smokes some more.

The cat fight continues until Martha passes out. Alicia gives Martha the chocolate. Marcia runs in and tells someone to go get Martha water. Marcia tells Martha that she needs to see a doctor. This diet of hers is killing her. Alicia is incapable of being so kind. Marcia pulls Alicia aside and asks if she was fighting with the cuartel. Alicia basically says they started it. Marcia can not believe that Alicia is smiling about Martha being sick. Alicia says she’s smiling for another reason, but she cannot tell Marcia what it is. Juana runs in with some water for Marcia.

Erasmo complains to Julieta that he does not want to buy a new car. She makes a joke about cars like theirs being only in museums At that moment, Tomas drives up in his Mercedes. He flips down the top for effect. Erasmo asks him if he’s a chauffeur for someone famous. Nope, this is the new car for the manager of Filmo Imagen!

Fernando comes in to Lety’s office. He has some paperwork about the Sportwin commercial and for the trip to Germany. She asks him to put it on her desk and then returns to her work. Fernando offers to take her home tonight. That’s okay, Tomas will take her home. Marcia calls him, incessantly. Fernando replies that he’s coming. Fernando asks why Tomas is coming for her. Well, Lety just wants to be careful now that Doña Marcia is back. Marcia comes in for Fernando. He stomps his foot and leaves.

Erasmo makes fun of Tomas’s driving skills. Tomas literally falls out of the car. He tells Erasmo that he bought the car from a dealership with Filmo Imagen’s money. Erasmo says that money belongs to Fernando.

PM asks Martha if she feels better. Martha is only worried that whatever she eats will make her more fat. Martha’s daughter and husband run in. They’re going to take her to the doctor. Paco thanks PM for taking care of Martha. The family leaves.

Erasmo asks if Fernando authorized the purchase of the automobile or if he even knows about it. Tomas says he doesn’t know, but he Fernando will find out today. Erasmo gets into the driver seat. Tomas tries to kick him out, but Erasmo is entranced. Julieta and Moty gets into the passenger seat. Erasmo points out that the car has a television. Tomas wants to leave.

The brass are in a meeting about the Sportwin commercial. Lety goes over the costs of the Sportwin commercial. Fernando and Omar agree that Lety’s analysis is correct. Fernando asks her what cost the most. Lety says a lot of money was requested by Luigi. Of course, Luigi exclaims! He goes on about his position and about Lety. He’s not going to allow her to question him and his activities! Fernando starts to defend her, but Lety says there’s no need. Luigi is fine, he’s always nice. This stumps both of the men.

Tomas pulls up to Conceptos in his Mercedes. Unfortunately, he runs into and not over Jasmin. He asks her if she knows Lety. Jasmin volunteers to call Lety for him. Nope, he’ll call on his cellular. Jasmin giggles. Lety doesn’t answer.

Lety and Fernando enter her office. She wants to talk business. He stalls. Why wouldn’t she allow him to defend her in front of Luigi? She doesn’t want him to be obliged to do defend her. It’s just not a good idea.

Tomas and Jasmin talk about…Jasmin. She’s Conceptos’ test model. She asks if Tomas is Lety’s friend. No, he tells her. He’s her boyfriend. She didn’t know that Lety had such an elegant boyfriend. Tomas tries to downplay his relationship. Jasmin pardons herself, but not before sucking on Tomas’s face a little. Tomas gives her his card. Jasmin gets excited and asks if he works in production. They discuss the possibility of her becoming a model for Filmo Imagen. Jasmin offers to give him her cell phone number. She even enters it herself. She asks if she can get into the car. She’s cold. Um, it’s a convertible. Tomas opens the passenger side, but she gets into the driver’s side. He admires her assets while she admires the car.

Fernando asks Lety to call Tomas and tell him that Fernando will take her home. Marcia calls out for him again. Fernando leaves to talk to her. Marcia tells Fernando that there is still some business to look to with Bellalife. Afterwards, she wants him to come over to her house. She asks if he has another thing to do. No, he tells her. Good thing he doesn’t have to take Lety home anymore. Lety now has a rich boyfriend to take her home in his car. Marcia points out that Tomas has the latest model, expensive Mercedes. Lety leaves her office and tells Fernando that she’s going home. She also says good-bye to Marcia. Marcia scrunches her face. This must be her substitute for blinking. Fernando watches Lety leave. Marcia asks Fernando what’s wrong. She leaves and blows him a kiss. Nothing, but he forgot to ask Lety something. Marcia blows him a kiss and leaves. He imitates her and rolls his eyes.

Jasmin goes on about the car. Juana points her out to the cuartel. Sara takes off for Jasmin who wisely decides it’s time to get out of the car. She tells Tomas not to forget to call. Sara and Lola confront Jasmin for her behavior with Lety’s boyfriend. Jasmin plays dumb. Her Flaquito drives up and sees everyone arguing.

Omar and Fernando talk about their new dilemma. Fernando spies Lety out of the corner of his eye. He asks what she’s doing still there. Nothing, Tomas hasn’t arrived yet but she’s leaving right now. Fernando pulls Omar toward his office.

Efren urges Jasmin to hurry up and leave. Lola comes over and beats the hood of the car. He tells her that they can talk another time. Lola snaps. She tries to pull Efren out of the car. She fails, but Sara succeeds. PM yells in his face. Sara holds him so that Lola can yell at him. They argue about Efren wanting half of everything. She makes fun of his car. Efren slips and says that he won’t throw Lola out of the house but she will have to pay rent to him. Sara discards him. Efren starts to confront her. Sara pets him and then head-butts him. He passes out on the hood of the car. Jasmin accuses the cuartel of killing her Flaquito. He wakes up and they scurry off into the night with Efren crying in his best girl voice the whole time. Tomas can’t figure any of this out.

Tomas tells Lety about what happened. Lety runs over to the cuartel to check on Lola. She tells Tomas that she’s waiting for “someone” to leave the office. Lety asks Lola if she wants a ride to her house. Lola says no thank you. The cuartel asks Lety to introduce them to her boyfriend, but she only offers excuses. Juana tells Lety that Tomas was making nice with Jasmin. Lety turns around to look at Tomas and puts him in check with one look.

Fernando and Omar walk out of the office. Omar calls Lety a gargoyle. Fernando gets upset. They leave.

Lety leaves the cuartel and walks over to Tomas. She asks for his cellular. He doesn’t want to let her. She finds Jasmin’s number in there. Fernando and Omar walk out. She demands that Tomas opens the door. He does and takes her bag. Then he walks her over to the passenger side and helps her in. They fake laugh and he jogs over to his side. The whole time Fernando does his best impression of Omar’s mental constipation look.

The two men run back into Conceptos. Fernando wants to know where in the world did Tomas get the money to buy that car! Fernando, being paranoid (for good reason), thinks that they planned this. After Omar asks some “insightful” questions, Fernando goes back to the car. It’s worth 90,000 dollars! Ever perceptive Omar points out that they would need money from a company like Conceptos. Or from Filmo Imagen! Fernando points out.

Will Fernando confront Tomas and Lety?
Can Tomas keep a secret about his date with Alicia?

Have a great night, everyone!
