Caray, Caray!

But first, non-sequitur, does everyone experience this new format of the show beginning and then all of a sudden the televisa symbol breaking in and the opening credits following at a seemingly non-sensical point? Maybe they are now trying to follow the way US TV has started shows for a while….. but it’s not seeming terribly well executed…..I liked it the way it was….that being said….


We continue with Yuri & Mijares talking to Fern about Lety like parents trying to convince their child that he’s tired and needs to go to bed. “So who are you to her anyway?” Fern starts to say he’s “her boyf…um… her… I don’t know what you are getting at.” “It’s obvious you are in love with her, all the virtues you mentioned about Lety are the attributes one looks for in the person one loves.” Mijares agrees that’s called love. Fern is in childish disbelief, and his attempts to refer to the pair informally are rejected, so he adjusts to extreme formal address and tells them they are wrong and that he has to go because he has to find Lety…because he needs to discuss some things with her. After he leaves, Yuri says poor Fe’s going to be surprised when he finally recognizes his true feelings; that man is head over heels in love.

Alicia shows up to Fernando claiming her mission completed as she has the numbers for all the dancers….she dances around on the stage area and asks if she could be part of the show for Fernando sometime, he is distracted trying to find Lety and says yes, yes, yes, to try and shut her up, but she takes him at his word and he realizes he wasn’t paying attention to what she really wanted then he said no way! Alicia wants to know what to do with the numbers. He gets angry, don’t you realize I’m looking for Lety! Have you seen her? Alicia says she did, so he ordered her to go find her and tell her he needs her and is waiting for her. She’s off. Tomas bumps into Alicia…she screams “Stupid! Imbecile! Idiot! Nuisance!” He got her right in the chiche! Too bad he didn’t pop it. He realizes it’s his lust interest and runs after her calling “Big mama!” “Hey here’s your [nuisance?], I mean to say your “Big Daddy!” but he’s right over other people who wonder what the hell he’s talking about…he brushes it off that he’s talking to himself…still not acceptable, really….

Lety is seen calling her Dad to let him know she’s with Tomas…I must admit I was sort of glad we only got her side of the conversation. It was nice to get a break from Robopop’s dramatics for a show.

And now for today’s guest celebrity….Anais is lost and seeks some help from Lety to find Luigi. Alicia runs up at the same time to tell her Fe is looking for her, go see what he wants. Lety says tough tell him to wait, I’m occupied. Alicia calls her rude and tells her maybe it’s better that she stays here and Alicia takes care of him because of her “shabby dress” that she shouldn’t dare get near to Fernando because of the shame it would cause him and Conceptos, that an executive that thinks they are so important would come dressed this way, but she guesses that is the most they could ask of her because that probably is one of her most elegant outfits; her cocktail and party dress…fine stay here then. Alicia, now finished with her insults, realizes who Anais is and tells her she’s a huge fan and that Luigi sent her to find her, that she’ll take her to him. Anais, not unaware of Alicia’s unpleasantry declines to follow her and will see Luigi later and declines to sit with Alicia during the show. She and Lety bond and Lety apologizes for Alicia’s rudeness…Anais goes with Lety.


The show begins…Yuri announced that the money raised goes to help her countrymen in Veracruz to build a marketplace to showcase their traditional artwork and make it available to sell to the whole world and to carry on the traditions to the next generation. Mijares and Yuri sing their lounge song while the dancers strut their stuff…squeezed into the small stage space trying not to step on each other and the stars. I found them very distracting and adding nothing to the performance. Don Fe smiles silly, Alicia sits down and lets him know she found Lety but she said she is occupied. Alicia tells him Anais is with her.

We flash briefly to Lola who suddenly found her cajones and is now pounding and yelling for Cheque to open his door. She screams but he’s not answering.


Lety explains her outfit to Anais in that she usually doesn’t come to such events and that she’s not used to dressing in high fashion like the rest of the firm because she just handles the finances. Anais, in what’s becoming a tradition of beautiful women taking pity on Lety and consoling her, and confiding their horror stories in her, confesses she also had a problem with clothes when she began her career and she tells a story about wearing a red dress and five inch heels to her first casting call because she wanted to be taller, but she wasn’t being herself and apparently that came across to the directors so she decided to take the shoes off during the audition. [I didn't think that was quite the same as Lety's issue, but what the heck, the chick is trying to be nice.]The directors were impressed that she did that in front of them so thought that she could surely handle conducting the television show and that’s how her TV career began.
Lety thought that must be when Anais hired a designer to help her with her wardrobes but Anais says no, she looked for “un Hada Madrina” those of you with captions can confirm that’s the proper term, but if so, she looked for a fairy godmother, someone who always knew more than she did and could show her how to do things. She goes on essentially about how Lety needs to start with what’s inside and that she’s a light that is unlit, that she’s in the shadows. Lety complains that “they” put out my light. But Anais doesn’t give in to that and essentially says she needs to relight it and shine on everyone, and that it depends on her. She later says that it’s easy to buy clothes for the outside, but first you have to change yourself inside and that’s what matters.

Anais sees Lety looking out for her “boyfriend” and tells her she wants to meet Tomas. So Lety takes her to sit down at their table. Yuri comes on without Mijares and “relights” Lety. Yuri’s now wearing a black and white fluffy dress that looks like it’s made from pieces of jail striped jump suits, there are men that look like clowns dancing around in the background… Why is everyone worried about Lety’s clothes? I think hers are ten times better than this get up!



Cheque shows up outside the building with Yasmin and they are flirting and acting lovey dovey (yuk)… “let’s go to a disco”…Lola sees this and as quickly as she found, she now loses, her cajones and can’t confront him and instead starts crying. PM tries to console her and utters some fantastic insults about tarantulas and they end up trying to leave without accomplishing their goal.

Lety sits with Tomas and Anais and Lety waits for the proper moment to introduce them. Tomas is overexcited about the dancers and can’t believe they are real. Lety is a bit perturbed as he is not acting like a boyfriend, meanwhile more song from Yuri and lots of hair flipping….Anais tells her not too worry about the eye candy that she’s the real love or something and she says yeah that’s what they made me think and she puts a sad look. Tomas claps away with excessive enthusiasm at the end of the act. I guess you can dress him up but you still can’t take him anywhere.

Saimon is with his mariachis and flowers waiting to sing to PM Novia mia, no wait.. la Gloria eres tu…no….he starts to sing a third….no…he consults with Celso about which one he should pick, what does PM like…Celso says, well she likes salsa, Saimon says oh come on, how can we do salsa???

Back in the first outfits, Yuri & Mijares sing another song together…. But the dancers are in different clothing…hmmm…. [I liked this song the best] Lety appears with a sour look again..Anais asks her what she was talking about "them making her think", and she says it’s nothing.

Tomas proclaims that the dancers are angelic, glorious, that he has to touch them. Finally Lety introduces him to Anais and in his best radio voice he tells her he enjoys meeting her and he calls his Mom to tell her he’s talking to Anais…how sweet. Anais talks to his Mom, [even sweeter] and she passes out from excitement and they think she may have hung up.

Saimon is still deciding what is the perfect song to sing…the mariachis are getting mad and Celso is asleep…he finally decides on La Gloria…..these mariachis are quite good, if Saimon would let them sing….

Luigi gets thanked on stage for his contribution to the event, Anais is acknowledged in the crowd.. Tomas stands up and Fern sees them and doesn’t recognize T because he’s so hot!!! Except for that laugh….and those kazoos that keep following him.

Luigi runs over to Anais who tells him she was well accompanied by Lety and he takes the opportunity to make another fea Lety crack …she wants to say good bye to Don Fe but then maybe not…

Saimon is singing again…Celso still sleeps….he doesn’t quite know the words….He cries for PM turn on the light!!!!! Turn on the Light!!!!He throws down the flowers he‘s carrying in disgust but with a smile.


Lety asks T to get ready to go, but Tomas wants to stay awhile to talk to the dancers…he is actually getting some positive looks from them.

Lety starts to go towards Fern. Meanwhile A & F argue about him having to go, she wonders why and he claims that they both have to work tomorrow at the break of dawn and he questions whether she’s going to follow him under orders from Marcia, she says no she wouldn’t dare follow him. Fe says besides he’s going to take Lety home, and she can follow him if she wants. Alicia tells him he should go with a dancer. He has no patience.

Fe wants to know why she disappeared and what is going on …Lety springs it on him…Tomas came for her…..she’s leaving now. He forcefully grabs her arms and she pulls away mentioning that are people around. He asks if she forgot that they were supposed to spend the night together and that she made him a promise…..she says oh sorry I forgot I agreed to have dinner with Tomas so I’m sorry I won’t be able to stay. He says no you can’t go to dinner with him you promised to spend time with me. She firmly refuses again. He gets mad, [I guess he’s not used to not getting his way with her] and he tries to grab her again even harder and she says again how many people there are around. He doesn’t care about the people he wants to know what is wrong. He uses her full first name and orders her to stay. She says that we’re not in the office and she’s sorry but she has to go now, he says no you are staying and you are coming with me and he drags her away with him.

Saimon decides La Gloria didn’t work so he’ll try the first one Novia Mia again….some poor guy let him use the violin…note I didn’t say play…if I heard that I wouldn’t come out either…the lights are still out…what about the rest of the residents of that building? Haven’t they had enough yet? Saimon is upset, Celso says maybe she’s not home….S thinks maybe she’s out with someone else, no this can’t be, he starts screaming that he’s dying of jealousness, he’s dying of jealousness, he’s dying of jealousness….the musicians scream “we don’t know it!!!!” Pa rum pum pum….


Fern is giving Lety Marcia’s brand of usual questioning about what is wrong with her. Now she plays dumb. He says he’s treated her so well tonight, and she’s treated him so badly. CAN YOU BELIEVE IT! Now is a good time to find Julie’s link to the You Tube Lety punch out Fern video and watch it at least five times.... He continues reminding her she made him a promise to stay with him too and now she’s telling him she’s going with Mora. He asks her which is more important. He tells her it’s always more important to him to go out with her. She mocks him disbelievingly.


Yuri shows up with the “show” in tow asking how they liked it. Fernando fumbles but in good salesman style recovers with something meaningless. Yuri asks if they are ready for the cocktails! Lety congratulates them and takes advantage of the crowd factor to escape Fe’s clutches. Fern gets mad and watches as she departs. He decides he also has to leave even though the dancers and Yuri beg him hard to stay for drinks. Lety also bumbs into Alicia on the way out… bruta!

Lety goes back out and doesn’t see Tomas, but they are still interviewing Anais and Alicia interrupts saying she can tell the reporter how fame is…to that the reporter cuts and walks away. Thank goodness someone finally cut her off right at the beginning of one of her estupidezes.

Saimon is crying because PM didn’t respond to the serenata…the musicians sympathise but remind him that even though she didn’t come out that they still need to be paid, oh yeah and please, a tip too, huh? Saimon says of course. They depart and wake Celso up to come with them.


Tomas walks into the dressing room then starts faking a conversation with his chaffeur again in his best radio voice, ok this earns a look from the dancers, finally. He is looking for Lety and Luigi says unfortunately they saw her several times.

We then cut to Saimon crying in the parking lot when PM and Lola show up finally in a taxi… Saimon starts screaming that the two of them were out partying!!! He grabs PM and says he can’t believe it and Lola runs off crying while PM is impactada at Simon’s disposition.

Honor your ancestors....Feliz Dias de los Muertos! This year many loved ones moved on from our world and I hope I will be comforted by their spirits in Lety's absence tonight. May you also reflect fondly on your departed.

Hope this holds you all until Friday….we’ll await the implementation of the revenge until then. Enjoy the grammys!
