Caray, Caray!

We open at Conceptos with Lola wondering how Rafael is doing and Sara saying he’s the same or worse, that he’s in his ultimate days and Marta doesn’t want to hear it because it’s ruining the tamale..? Don Fer walks in and takes it away from Marta and proceeds to eat it saying something about seeing if it’s poisoned. He continues eating it and then asks if anyone heard from Lety, which no one did so he offers the tamale to Sara on behalf of Marta, then finally gives it back to her after she has foamed at the mouth plenty. Marta says he never comes out of his office poor thing, as if he never gave it up. Sara says well what’s he going to do, sit out here with us? She calls Omar the Imbecile and tells him Fer waits for him. Sara wonders what in the world could it be that makes Fer worry so much about the whereabouts of Lety. Marta doesn’t know but she’s upset that Lety left without explaining anything, she wonders if Lety got other friends, and Sara says she’s not capable of something so low.

Back at the beach Aldo and Lety are talking about the fishermen and she asks if he’ll show her how to fish. He says of course, you make a beautiful fisherwoman. She doesn’t believe him. He wants to run again, she begs him no because she’s hurting, then she fakes him out and takes off and he follows her.

Back at Conceptos Fer is back in his supposedly former office again the phone rings and he yells for Lety to answer, then he catches himself. But he answers asking if it’s Lety. Of course it’s not, it’s his Mom, and they are coming by later and she wants to make sure things are ready for them. She hangs up on him and he thinks it’s awkward for her to do that.

At the beach, Caro shows up in a funky green get up and wonders what they were doing. Aldo explains why they were running, and Lety appears very fatigued. Aldo tells her a good bath will fix her up and he leaves to go prepare the food. Caro tells her they have to hurry because they have to be at many places. She hopes a bath will indeed help.

Back at Conceptos, the cuartel continues their speculation about Fer sleepwalking around and worrying about Lety, that she’s ok and her leaving without explaining. La Oxi walks in and the insults begin to fly. Juana mocks her sashays. They discuss her taking care of Don Humberto, and she makes a crack about Lety being the queen of the feas and the boss of the cuartel, and Roller Derby chic busts out again trying to pick a fight with Alicia and she essentially ignores Sara.

In Fer’s office he tells Omar that Lety is not going to show up, instead Mora is coming. Omar is impactado. He laughs and says there is then an exchange of gargolitas and now he’ll have the privilege of seeing the masculine version. Fer gets mad and tells him to call her by her name. Omar wonders if he knows where Lety is and Fer angrily says no. Omar makes fun of him having everything in control and asks if he doesn’t think all this is strange. Fer says of course it’s strange, what a foolish question. Omar then wonders what happened to his tie. Fer sarcastically says that he is so observant; he hasn’t worn a tie for two days. He yells that Omar is walking around here with his head in the clouds essentially pretending that everything is perfect. Omar says not in the clouds, but at least it should be that no one can notice your misery and failure.

Back in Acapulco Lety is quizzing the Bellezas on their trivia skills for the competition. They thank her for helping them. She tells them besides being beautiful they should be well prepared. She then mentions that she knows someone very beautiful but very lacking and she says they call her the Oxigenada….

Back at Conceptos the very same is wondering if Lety is coming. They tell her she’s not coming because she’s out of the City. Oxi speculates where she might be, at a Fea conference, on vacation to get her cousins the Mummies of Guanajuato (famous mummy museum there, bodies in the late 1800’s early 1900’s whose families couldn’t pay a grave tax were dug up and put on display for public shame). She then jokes that maybe she went to the Nuestra Bellezas pageant in Acapulco, and says no way, not that…..

Back at the pageant Caro now tries her hand at asking the test questions. Alex shows up and comments that the beauty is much more important than the knowledge. Nice... Caro asks what year the Berlin wall came down, and then in which treaty did Mexico lose almost half of it’s territory. Do you know? I’ll post the answer later…Lety is upset because the girls seem to forget all of the things she went over with them and none of them knew the answers.

Back at Conceptos Oxi tells them they should get to work and not have so much concern for one person. Roller Derby chic breaks out and tells Oxi not to provoke her. Oxi tells them that the Mendiolas and Ariel will arrive any minute and she doesn’t want them to see this disorder. They make fun of her assertion of authority. She snaps back that because Fer is no longer Pres and Omar not Vice Pres and Lopez and Marcia aren’t there, she is the highest authority. Ariel sneaks in and hears her oration. The cuartel see him and start working feverishly. Alicia tells the cuartel no one is superior to her and that’s how she likes to see them, listening to the president of Conceptos referring to herself. Ariel interrupts and asks Oxi how they can help her. She tries to cover, he just tells her to get coffee to the conference room. He asks if she knows if Lety is coming, Alicia thinks that she has many commitments and can’t show up. He wonders what is so important that she can’t show up. She says Lety thinks she’s more important than anyone including him.

Back at the pageant Caro scolds the girls that their marks will be really low. She continues asking questions and Lety starts to run around shouting the answers to the girls. Caro catches her and wants to know what she is doing. We see a camera that is filming the girls then zoom in on Lety. Hmmm….

Back at Conceptos Humb and Teri show up to Abitchita fawning all over them. He asks if everyone is in the meeting, including Lety. Oxi tells them the roll call, and that Lety is not expected. Marcia shows up next and they tell her everyone is here but the meeting hasn’t yet started.

We are now back at Irma’s and she is telling Luigi she hopes that he’ll find peace from their plan to have her children come and that confession is always a relief in one’s last hours. Luigi tells her to stop. She explains death is depressing. Luigi thinks she is an angel and that she shouldn’t have done this after all that happened. She tells him that Rafa is still a human being going through a hard time and that she might be able to do something. Just then the doorbell rings. Luigi answers to greet Irma’s daughter and granddaughter. They embrace wholeheartedly.

Back in the meeting everyone takes his or her place and Ariel wonders when Lety will arrive. Fer tells him she won’t.

Back at Irma’s tears all around, as everyone gets introduced to each other.

Humb is mad that Lety isn’t coming and thinks the meeting should have been cancelled. Fer tells them a representative will come, Mora. Ariel makes fun that she abandoned them to her boyfriend.

Outside Abitchia is yelling at the waitress who’s had enough and she yells back that ever since she lost her car she’s been much more hateful that she was even before. Oxi curses Mora as she walks away. On cue the bell rings and Mora comes out of the elevator. He hides from the Oxi and almost gets away with it, but she sees him and asks him why he’s here, desgraciado, and he tells her he has an important meeting. Sara tells him where to go and the meeting folks are impactado when he walks in and announces himself there on behalf of Lety. He hopes this will be brief because he has a packed agenda. There are looks exchanged as he takes his seat. Humb tells him how surprised they are that Lety doesn’t show up. Tomas asks if Fer didn’t tell them she was out of the city for a few days.

Back in Aca. Lety apologizes profusely for helping the contestants claiming that they are very nervous and she just wanted to help. Caro forgives her.

The priest has shown up at Irma’s to take Rafael’s final confession and now Irma takes her daughter to see Rafa. Luigi is left to entertain the grand-daughter. He makes a baby face but realizes she’s too old for that. Rafa is thrilled to see his daughter. Luigi talks to the granddaughter, even throwing in some English to her, saying how cool Irma is. The doorbell rings, Luigi answers and it’s the son Jorge. Luigi is impactado.

Back at the meeting Ariel wants to know if Lety knows how important it was that she was here. Fer says he could only leave messages. Tomas says she knows and that’s why he was sent as the legal representative, the manager of Filmo Imagen, he has cards but he forgot them. The lawyer says you may be these things, but you are not the proprietor so you can’t give them back the company. Tomas says, well yes, but she left the necessary authorization paper. Ariel says it wasn’t sufficient, she might be a swift economist etc. but she’s not a lawyer. Marcia suspects she did it on purposes and demands to know where Lety is. Tomas says he’s not authorized to give out that info and Fer has known this since he came to the house to look for Lety.

Jorge greets his niece and Luigi yells at him for hanging up, and Jorge apologizes that he was just mad at all his father did and that Luigi’s call made him decide to come after all. They kiss and make up…well anyway. Rafa is thrilled to have his daughter and she pardons him. He inquires about whether Jorge is coming too. Irma and the daughter aren’t sure what to say. So to give them time to think we go back to the meeting where Marcia proclaims how suspicious it is that Lety has gone away just now.

Tomas says it would be suspicious if neither of us came, but he says he presented his face for the both of them. Ariel tells him his face is ugly enough that it’s not sufficient. Omar cackles then shuts up. Tomas says well it’s simple then, you’ll have to wait for Lety to get back. Marcia wants to know where she is. He tells her he can’t divulge that either. Ariel warns him that if Lety doesn’t show up as soon as possible, they will have to resort to other methods of remedy. And the dum dum dum dum plays …….
