Caray, Caray!

Alicia Asks Marcia if she got back together with Fer. Marcia says yes and makes sure she says it loud enough for the cuartel to hear. Satisfied? Alicia says yes for now, but asks for the details eventually. She makes sure the cuartel heard too. The cuartel begins to discuss this. Juana says that’s good for Marci because she’s been going around like such a pitiful soul. Lola says, you’re telling me, I’m the one who always ends up paying for the broken plates. My work hasn’t been easy, with so many things, I shouldn’t even bother telling you all, you just make me famous for whining. Martha thinks that Marcia just threw out her lasso and got him, this time they’ll get married for sure.

Don Humb arrives and Alicia follows them like a puppy kissing their you know whats. He basically ignores her and they keep marching straight for the conference room. One lawyer lingers a glance with a devilish smile. This gives Alicia confidence and she struts away with Juana mocking her.


We go back to Lety basking in the throne of white mums with a crown of daisies on her head [Ok, I have to ask, how did he get this chair out there all of a sudden?].

PG begins his craft…

Spirits of Light, Spirits of Love, Spirits of Peace, Good Fortune and of Prosperity, illuminate the mind, body, spirit, and the path of this woman so that nothing and no one will hurt her. That from this moment her enemies tremble at the thought of her because they see a divine presence in her mind. God is with her today, tomorrow, always, and for all eternity. From this moment your plans, projects and everything that grows in your heart will be a reality. That from this moment remain cancelled out the sadness, the accidents, the betrayals and the illnesses, and from this moment that you program yourself for cries to turn to smiles, sadness to happiness, sickness to health, from loveless to love. Thank you father, for you have listened to me.

Come we are going to throw all the negativity away in the ocean in order to transform; From this moment you are a another woman. From this moment your life has changed for the better and no one can take what you desire away from you. Look at the heavens and tell God all that you desire.

And the poor mums are sacrificed to the ocean.

Ariel presents Alicia to the new criminal lawyer. He continues that she tried to study finance in the university but she dropped out after six semesters. Ariel - She also married Mauricio Birgman, but he got rid of her quickly. In an act of kindness and pity my sister hired her to work here. I propose you set up a meeting, that is if you like her. It’s an appropriate time because she is desperate for a husband. Alicia tells him that’s enough, he has no right. Ariel says yes, but I have the right to ask for a coffee with one cube of sugar and a glass of water. The lawyer (who actually seemed disgusted at Ariel) does not want anything to drink. Alicia warns Ari he will pay and he tells her again to get the coffee and summon everyone to the meeting.

In Fer’s old office Marc is tending to his wounds again. Alicia tells them that everyone is waiting for them. He tells her he’s coming. Marcia asks him if he is ready to confront all the people. He says yes. She says count on me and kisses his wound. Blech. They go into the conference room.

Humb introduces Fern to the new criminal lawyer Manuel Santamaria, who specializes in high finance. The lawyer introduces himself to Fer and tells him that his father told him that Fer was going to get together with the Padillas to try and reach some agreement with them. Fer tells him yes, but it definitely ended up impossible to come to an understanding with those folks. Ariel pipes in that they shouldn’t go in circles around this anymore and tells the lawyer to proceed.

Erasmo shows up at Conceptos. The cuartel is impactado and wonder why he’s there. He says he’s there to speak with Don Humb. Just then Alicia passes through yelling once again at the waitress to hurry and serve coffee in the conference room, because she doesn’t want them to bother her instead. The waitress cracks back that surely Alicia didn’t get her car back!

Sara confirms that he has no appointment and Erasmo tells her it’s not necessary because what he’s here about is of the utmost importance. Lola apologizes politely because Humb is in an important meeting and Martha adds that she doesn’t think he can be disturbed. Erasmo tells them firmly to go tell him he’s out here. Alicia interferes and asks if he didn’t hear, that he can’t be attended to right now. Erasmo stares Abitchia up, down and around, and Sara yells, as he appears to look intently at her chest (though I think he’s studying her, uh, face, really). He believes he’s seen her somewhere before. She thinks it must have been in some high society magazine. It dawns on him that he knows her from the photo. [Well he did sort of from the mag, but only because Tomas had it cut out and lacquered to his hand!] She thinks surely he’s talking about the society magazine, make that plural. He tells her she’s Alicia Ferreira and she says yes, the same, and that she is pretty famous. She is flattered that he knows who she is. He says of course he knows; she is one of Lety’s secretaries! He says I’m her Papa, at your service. She says my Papa? (He uses the article “su” which can have both meanings) He says no, Lety’s! He introduces himself as the father of her (Oxi’s) boss!!! The cuartel giggle.

Back at the hotel the floral meditation session is over and Lety is cured? Enlightened? Well, she has a new piece of jewelry anyway. PG looks a little sexier with his hair kind of mussed from the sea. L -Now I am dying to get back to Mexico City because I’m afraid that my father is going to be desperate and complicate things worse than they already are. Jorge tells her they will say goodbye here because he’s going to stay a couple of days at the beach, because the ocean is what called him, but he will see her soon. She says good-bye and thanks him again. Caro comes running up and tells Lety she’s been looking all over for her, that they need to go to the airport now. Lety tells her not to worry because she’ll take a bath and she’s ready. Caro tells her she’ll go finalize the bill {and cut to commercial} L- Caro do me a favor between friends and get me a card with all of the information on this hotel because I’m sure that I will bring my parents here to the Fairmont Acapulco Princess someday. Yes, great idea, now hurry please.{and we’re back}


Alicia says as much as you are the Dad of that woman I’m not going to announce you and least of all interrupt the meeting unless you tell me what we can do for you then. Sara interrupts, and says, “Listen to me, and besides you having corn ears (or corn cob) hair and double turkey breasts, have you turned deaf? Can’t you see that he’s here to speak to Don Humb?” A- You, aside from being a giraffe, old maid, resentful person and stupid, can’t you see the deaf one is him? I ‘ve told him until I’m blue that Humb is busy and can’t be interrupted. Erasmo says, “Look Miss, first I’ll ask you to do me the favor of respecting me, that I came to tell you, you woman with big red eyes, I demand that you inform Humb that I’m here. Ali- Look, I never followed one of your daughter’s orders when she was here so I’m not going to follow yours either.

Sara says not to worry she’s going to give them his message. Ali tells her not to move.

Sara says she’ll give her the opportunity to stretch her brain just a little, to realize that he must be here for something important. In case she hasn’t noticed that Fer has done nothing but live for news of Lety. Something is happening and since you are such a gossip you must know what it is. So the committee should know that he is here. But fine, if you don’t want us to say anything nevermind. We the cuartel will just wash our hands of it all and say nothing if that’s what you want. Finally Alicia agrees she will interrupt the meeting to let them know. She announces him and Fer’s eyes react. At first Humb doesn’t know who he is, but Fer clarifies it’s Lety’s dad. Fer asks her if he asked for Fer or his Papa. Alicia says he asked for Humb and that would be your Papa. Fer says ok fine, the six semesters rendered fruitful and he cuts her off. Marci says something about him not going alone and she doesn’t want to speak with him, but Fer says he’ll go. Ariel wonders what the problem is, why he doesn’t just come into the meeting. Fer tells him he didn’t ask to speak with the whole committee, just my Papa, or is he your Papa, putative!!

They go out and each introduce themselves. Fer asks what Don Erasmo is doing here. He begs Fer’s pardon but he didn’t come to talk to him. Marcia chimes in and Erasmo says the same to her. E insists on speaking only to Don Humb. Erasmo tells Humberto that he wants to talk gentleman to gentlemen about Leti’s matter, between decent people, but he would like it to be in private. Humb agrees and they adjourn to his (Fer’s used to be ) office. Marci says to Fer not to leave Humb alone with him because she doesn’t trust that man, but Fer tells her, well, he trusts him a lot. Omar then approaches Fer and teases him, that if his relationship with Lety comes out he’s a goner and he makes the head being chopped off motion. Fer knows this and tells him to shut up. Omar advises him if he were him he’d listen in to find out what’s going on, in case you need time to run away, my brother.


Caro is very pleased that Lety’s friend helped her to be able to forgive. Lety agrees. She says she feels liberated. As if a great weight has been lifted of my shoulders. C- So then you are ready to return to Mexico City. L- Yes, I am ready to return. She grabs her medallion. She says she must confess that this experience in Acapulco has been marvelous and incredible. She thanks Caro.


Humb sits down with Erasmo and offers him something to drink. Erasmo refuses saying it’s much too early. [I bet Lety’s lawyers wouldn’t feel the same way] Humb says ok, I’m all ears. Erasmo says he finds himself very confused and upset about this problem. I just learned of this issue this morning and so I came directly here to discuss it with you.
Humb says yes he appreciates that he is there, because he would like to avoid legal confrontations, and especially criminal with the lawyers. That’s why he sent his son to talk to you. Fer falls over himself and a chair trying to hear through the walls, and pretends he’s sitting casually, holding one decorative ball. Fer continues that unfortunately he couldn’t speak with Fer this morning but he agrees that they should handle this without resorting to the lawyers. E is sure they can resolve this between gentlemen because his daughter is going to return the business down to the last cent. Humb appreciates that he said that but it doesn’t appear that is her intention. The last message she sent was to work it out with her lawyers. Erasmo tells him that he apologizes that she acted that way but he needs to consider that the arrogance and the attitude of his son had something to do with that and his behavior left much to be desired. Lety never contemplated, nor would I allow her to take your business, nor that other one they created. Filmo Imagen. I don’t know how well you know my daughter but I raised her and educated her with the most elevated values.

E - I’m a public accountant. I worked 22 years at Productos Corena. Humb recognizes it as the business of the Family Mallorga. E - Yes that’s right. They still haven’t paid my severance, but you can ask Senor Mallorga, or my neighbors, or anyone at the bank where I have my savings and not a single person will show you any dishonesty on my part. That’s how I educated my daughter, and for that reason she has an immaculate resume. She worked in the bank, and Humb remembers getting the magnificent reference from there. E - We don’t have money, but we are good people. A Padilla will never have a reason to commit a crime. I imagine that you grew this business with your own hands, for your family, and nobody should take that away from you. H- So tell me, when will Lety return? E- Precisely she is going to return this very afternoon. We flash to a very happy and lovestruck grin from Fern!! So cute!!



In the VIP lounge at the airport Lety is holding a shell in her hand. C- What happened between you two? Lety says it’s that Aldo is such a beautiful human being. He’s so lovely that I kissed him good bye. Caro is surprised that she kissed him. Lety says yes, she didn’t even think about it she just did it. C- There are few things in this life as precious as spontaneity. Also, I want to congratulate you because you listened to your heart. You are a person much more liberated, more secure. L- No I’m nothing more than myself, but with Aldo it’s easyto do these things. Caro thinks surely he’ll come to the airport to say good bye. Lety says no, I don’t think so. She unconvincingly says no, we are just friends, it’s not at the level that he would leave his things just to come for me. No, I don’t think so. Just then they announce the flight, and Caro notes that for Lety, that they need to start boarding. Lety gets up and anxiously lingers and looks around the lobby, but turns and goes toward the door to get on the plane.

Just then Aldo runs up desperate with a box in his hand, but alas, he misses Lety. Hmm, the first time he seems to have had bad karma with her. Wonder if that is meant as a foreshadow!! He begs the security guard to let him pass that he has to get to a traveling person very important to him. No dice, guess this is not the place for a pay off or is Aldo above that? He sits down to open the box, which contains pieces of the sea; some sand, some shells, and a gigantic pearl in the middle of it all. Aldo tells it that it should have been on the plane with Lety. She really would have liked to have had this. This little piece of the ocean, the ocean that she loves so much. Leticia’s ocean. MY LETY!! [Again] Oh well……poor Aldo.

Back at Conceptos Erasmo and Humb are still having their heart to heart. They are so cute. I was so happy to see them getting on well. This could be a good thing for Lety and Fern one day. E -I’ll accept that you criticize my daughter, but I won’t let you accuse her of being a thief. All of this is because of your son Fernando. Humb agrees unfortunately that’s so. E -For my part, my daughter will receive a sanction too. Humb says you have to understand that this hasn’t been easy for us either. When we least expected it our business was taken away from us and the woman that had it has dissappeared! The next thing we knew we were without a business! What could we think think? E says if he knew things were left this way, he wouldn’t have let her go. Look what happened is that she thought she signed the letter that left everything in order but unfortunately that’s not how it turned out. I’ll make her respond for this to the final consequences. H- I will make sure that my son does too. I took away the presidency from him. I punished him very hard. I’ll never forgive what he has done to us. Nothing like this has happened in all the years of this business. I am very indignant. E- I know who you are and your family. I remember the building that you had in the Calle de Pinos Suaves. H- Yes that was our first location. E- That was another Mexico. The Mexico of old. Erasmo starts taking about his uncle Don Lazaro, that he was an incomparbable old man. He had a lot of money, a multimillionaire. He owned half the city, well the city of Puebla because we are Pueblans.

Fer is still listening in on the conversation and now he his holding two decorative balls in his hands. They look like melons, and well, perhaps infer something else. I’m entertaining posits on what, so comment away. Who knows. The cuartel is seen discussing the situation, discovering that Sara didn’t get any information on Lety. Sara is defensive and says she couldn’t ask with the toad of the Oxigenada present. Fer is excited because he hears they are talking about the story of Tio Lazaro! Don Fernando comes over to the cackling cuartel and slams down his hand on the desk. He repeats Echo, Echo, he asks them if they noticed there is an echo up here in the dome at Conceptos. The cuartel is a little confused. He asked them what they are doing. The say that they have a problem and Lola repeats her mantra that one is never finished, never finished. They say they have a problem. He says, you’re not gossiping? They of course say no. He also tells them to get to work. He walks away, but returns to see again if they hear the Echo.

Fer then returns to the meeting where Ariel is asking if they have the necessary elements to proceed against Lety. Marcia asks what is happening with his Papa he says nothing, they are just talking in a civilized manner. Omar asks what the subject is and Fer says the business. He tells Omar that that old man doesn’t know about what happened between him and Lety.

Humb says it’s been a pleasure to meet you. Erasmo agrees and says that there are very few men like them left anymore. These times are very difficult for men like us. The new generation has no scruples. H -The youth of today go around with no principles. Sins now aren’t sins. The ethics are incomprehensible. E - It’s because the people are corrupt. They have to raise a hand to those children! If we were in charge of these two kids, none of this would have happened. Remember the devil is a pig, worst of all he has no class. H - All this means that we have to demonstrate to and educate our children in this society, and the job is never finished. And so on…..

E - This afternoon a lawyer will come on behalf of my daughter to correct everything. But promise me this, that you will put yourself at the head of this affair, I completely trust you. H- Don’t worry Don Erasmo. I will take charge of everything. E - I would like to invite you to my house to meet my wife and to talk about the lost Mexico. Humb would like that and promises to find time in his calender to go with Erasmo. E - You take care of everything, you personally. Humb says yes, trust me I will take your words into account.

When he goes out, he is assaulted by the cuartel for news of Lety. Erasmo says that Leti won’t set a foot back in this business for sure and he doesn’t want to talk about it. They wonder what did Lety do that was so bad that her father doesn’t want her back here?


Humb goes back in. Tere- My love, what did that guy tell you? Humb says we cleared up many things. I think we really haven’t been the victims of a war of nerves, even less of a robbery attempt. We aren’t going forward against Lety. He says he came to an understanding with Don Padilla, and they are not going to proceed with the criminal case. Now we no longer need these lawyers. Lety’s lawyers will be here this afternoon to start with the steps to return us with the business. Ariel cynically says, so you still trust these people? Humb says yes, we are going to handle this matter completely amongst ourselves because I can completely trust that gentleman. [Alright Robopop!!!! You did something admirable for a change!!!] Marcia frantically asks how that is going to happen if Lety is still missing? Humb says well she’s coming back this afternoon! Marcia looks bugged; Fer looks at her then looks conflicted.


In the airplane Lety tells Caro: Aldo, also, is in the past now, and they are waiting for me at Conceptos and everything that implies. C- Yes, but now you are a new Lety, more sure of herself, and more valiant in the face of situations that come your way. Hopefully you are right. The closer we get to Mexico City, the more anxiety is getting the best of me. Caro tells her not to get anxious. Let things happen first then later worry about figuring out the resolutions. Calm down.

Tere asks, ok but when will she be here? Humb says that her lawyers will be here this afternoon so it’s not necessary that she even shows up for now. So let’s look at the financial statement to try and figure out how we are going to pay these debts.

Ariel says just a minute, Humb, you really think it’s that easy to get the business back? He affirmatively says yes. Fer looks with satisfied glee at Ariel. So there!

At Casa Padilla, Julieta is still icing Tomas’s hand. She asks how Lety’s return is going to go. Tomas doesn’t know. She tells him to sit down and maybe have some soup. Tomas decides to play a martyr and refuse everything. T says he’s only there so that her daughter and her husband can put in order this issue. Tomas denies hunger, he only has dignity as he sucks down the mushroom soup! She says then you don’t want some carne asada with eggs sunny side up. He says he’s only going to eat a little of this as a final goodbye.

Erasmo is back and asks if Lety came home. Julieta tells him to sit and eat. Tomas pretends not to be hungry and that he doesn’t want anything. Erasmo gives in and tells him to sit, that they have to talk.


The cuartel rehashes everything upset that they still don’t know anything and once again Lola says one never finishes, never finishes. The drunk abogados show up (they decidely appear un-drunk, however). Abitchia turns it on thick and rudely tells them that Fernando is in a meeting and can’t be interrupted. She tells them to leave and come back another day. The lawyers wisely decide not to deal with her anymore and start to wander taking note that all of this great business is Lety’s now. Alicia finally clues in and gets up to go announce them.

Back at the house Don Erasmo and Tomas are still having a pissing contest over eating. You know Tomas won’t win Moty is trying to get in on it too. Julieta reminds E that Tomas isn’t eating because he was offended by Erasmo telling him to leave. Erasmo tells him wasting food is a sin. Don’t be irrespectful Tomas, if you don’t want to eat it, leave it. Are you forcing me to eat? Yes, if that’s necessary. Erasmo feeds him. He says ok, but only the soup and maybe half of the meat, and maybe half of a potato and maybe half….SO where were you Erasmo? IN CONCEPTOS Tomas and Julieta are impactados and nearly choke on their soup!!

Ok, I can't contain myself about this. I stumbled upon an article from Vanguardia dated 12/27 that says an interview given by Jaime Camil and Angelica Vale on 12/23 to Hola magazine that will be published soon breaks the story that they have fallen in love in real life and have hidden a relationship for approximately six months, surprising everyone, the mom, the producer, etc. I only found this one article and have nothing else to confirm it with, so I'm dying to know if it's really true!!!!!! When I find what I read, I'll post it soon. How wonderful that would be!!! I would love to see them together!!! If anyone else has heard more on this, do share!!! I hope we don't have to wait for Cristina to find out!!! I'm still in a little shock at discovering Luigi is marrying and has a baby with Fer's sister!! Oh my!
