La Fea Más Bella #221 2/28/07 This is the day that never ends. Yes, it goes on and on my friend...

Aldo, who is usual very intuitive, mistakenly wonders to himself if Tomas is in love with Lety.

Back at Conceptos Marcia wanders through the secretaries' area and advises them that she'll be eating at her apartment. She begins to leave at the same time Saimon arrives with food for the cuartel. Saimon advises Marcia that the cuartel, but not Saimon, will be eating in the boardroom. Marcia asks if this is with the permission of the president. PM explains that it's because Lety has so much work she wanted to save time by eating in the boardroom. Marcia does not like the fact that the boardroom is turning into a dining room. She spits some fire about the changes Lety is making. She stalks away to go to her home. The cuartel worries about Marcia's reaction. PM directs Saimon to take the food to the boardroom. Saimon protests by saying he's not, among other things, a waiter or a burro. Martha cuts him short and orders him to the boardroom. Saimon turns but before he can leave, La Lichita stops him and asks what he is doing. Sara explains that the cuartel is eating in the boardroom. All conversation breaks down into making fun of the fact that Alicia doesn't get to eat. Sara makes some strange animal noises that I think is supposed to imitate a horse because Alicia earlier commented that it looks like she has horse hair. (Oh, God, bad memories of the day of the commercial and Pilar on that damn horse!) The cuartel leaves Alicia alone with her extra tight corset and empty stomach.

Omar and Fernando about a negotiation strategy. Yes, believe it or not, they talk business. For once, Pinky directs the Brain. Omar reminds Fernando of the $2 million that Aldo invested. Fernando gets excited when he hears Aldo's name. Fernando tells Omar that in order to get he and Omar out of debt, Fernando needs to talk to Lety about what happened with Aldo and what she's told Aldo. Omar half-heartedly agrees and wonders to himself about the mess that Fernando is about to get himself into.

In the apartment Marcia packs for her trip to Europe. She remembers how quickly Fernando dismissed her in the meeting and wanted to send her alone on a business trip to the United States or Europe. She picks up the wedding dress of shame and comments how it torments her. Her relationship with Fernando has gone from bad to worse.

The cuartel figure out their orders in the boardroom. Lety enters the room. Saimon asks her for the money to pay for the food. Lety says that she invited the cuartel, so she'll pay. The cuartel cheers. The cuartel jokes about the quality of the food and PM enters with Lety's purse. PM reaches into Lety's purse for money, and the photo of Lety and Aldo falls to the table. The cuartel passes the photo around and asks Lety where the photo was taken. Juana guesses that Lety met Aldo by the sea. Saimon interrupts the conversation to ask if he may keep a tip. Lety says yes. Irmita leans over the table and says Lety does not have to tell them anything that's private. Lety explains that she met Aldo when she went to Acapulco with Carolina. He rescued her when a wave wiped her out and Aldo saved her. Just to incite the cuartel she says that she thinks he gave her mouth to mouth resuscitation. She explains that she and Aldo are very good friends. The cuartel wants to know everything, despite Irmita's protests. Lety humors them and with some encouragement from Martha, she tells the cuartel that she gave Aldo one, no two kisses.

Tomas continues to enjoy his food. Aldo asks Tomas how he knows that Aldo likes "her." Tomas replies that he figured it out himself when he overheard Aldo talking about her peras. (He is talking about her boobs. I, however, do not remember this conversation so I have no idea of the context in which Aldo used this word. Can anyone help me?) Tomas describes "her" with some not so flattering hand gestures. Aldo acts more than confused. Aldo asks Tomas if he's talking about Lety. "Of course not! Are you?" Tomas replies. Aldo asks who Tomas is talking about. Alicia Ferreira! Aldo laughs and swears on his and Tomas's hair color that he does not like Alicia Ferreira. Tomas smiles, giggles and snorts. (In that order)

Lety tells the cuartel more nice things about Aldo. He taught her how to dive. The phone rings but the cuartel does not want Lety to answer it. Irmita, the last professional in the room, answers the phone. It's Saimon, professionally sitting in the reception office. There's a gentleman on the phone who wants to speak with only Don Luigi. It's Rulli; Irmita has Saimon give her the call. Irmita explains that Luigi doesn't answer his phone because he's very busy and she does not know where he is. Rulli wants to send Luigi a doll. After Irmita explains the call to the cuartel, she asks Lety if Aldo has anything to do with Aldo. She tells them that Luigi broke up with Rulli for Don Aldo. Lety replies to Irmita's question by saying that Luigi confused things. Juana makes some jokes about Aldo batting for the other team.

Saimon sits in the reception area and is caught by Jorge Flores ("PG") singing to himself. PG asks Saimon if this is Fernando Mendiola's company. Saimon in English says "of course" with the cutest little accent. He explains that the business also belongs to the Villaroels. Next, PG asks if Lety works at this office. Saimon confirms that she's the president. Jorge looks impressed

PM wants to know how Lety kissed Aldo twice and is not his girlfriend. Lola doesn't think it's fair that Lety had to leave Aldo and the ocean in order to come back to Conceptos and be near Fernando. PM asks if Lety has never considered that she and Aldo could be more than just friends. Lola responds for Lety saying that she is still in love with Fernando. The cuartel (minus Irmita) has obviously chosen sides, and it's not team Fernando. Saimon interrupts the lunch to say that PG arrived at the office. Lety excitedly greets him. Saimon leaves again. Lety introduces the cuartel to PG, her friend.

Fernando enters Lety's office and overhears PG telling Lety that he sees a man in Lety's life who is very generous. Fernando assumes that PG is speaking about him. Wait! PG see two men who think a lot about Lety. The cuartel wants to know who these two men are. One man is generous and the other is somber and sad. His aura is blue and it gets darker every day. Juana wants to know more about the generous man. Jorge acquiesces and says that this man admires and appreciates Lety. He knows Lety's soul. Fernando figures out that this obviously cannot be him and decides to leave, but not before flipping the painting of a conch shell, part of anatomy, lo que sea.

Tomas and Aldo enter the office congratulating their own fashion sense. Tomas asks if Aldo likes Lety. Before Aldo can answer, Saimon enters dancing with a giant white bear. Saimon clutches the bear and says he misses his PM. Just kidding! It's a gift for Luigi. The problem is that Saimon has to sit in the reception area and cannot deliver the bear. Aldo offers to take the bear to Luigi on his way to his own office. Saimon hands him the bear and thanks him.

PG has more to tell Lety. The generous man has a surprise for Lety, but she's going to have some difficult days first. She is going to have disorder in her life as the result of these two men and a woman. The cuartel thinks it might be Marcia. PG knocks that thought down by saying that this woman will come from a foreign land.

Fernando enters his and Omar's office and makes a beeline for the much disputed chair. Fernando tells Omar that Jorge Flowers is talking with Lety. He's telling Lety her future. Omar has no idea who is Jorge Flores. Fernando explains that Jorge Flores is his own personal clairvoyant who is at this moment talking to Lety about her future. Omar finds this very entertaining. He uses his cordless phone to predict that Fernando will be going on a journey to the mas alla, the United States. Omar asks for Fernando's hand as if he's going to read Fernando's palm. Omar squeals and for a second it looks as though Jaime Camil will not be able to keep it together to finish the scene. Omar wants to talk about the clairvoyance but Fernando's more concerned about another man being in Lety's life. He thinks that if there is another man that he will lose Lety. Omar, in a rare moment of clarity, says he thinks that Fernando already lost her. We know we’re in trouble when Omar speaks words of wisdom!

Luigi, who Irmita claimed was working so hard, meditates to something that we cannot hear. Aldo tries to silently put the bear in one of Luigi's seats. Luigi sees him, but pretends that he did not. Once Aldo leaves, Luigi screams with excitement. He reads the card aloud. "My life without you does not make sense. I want you by my side for forever." Luigi just cannot get over his luck and starts to cry to himself.

The cuartel begs Jorge for more information. PG says he does not know who is this other man. Fernando enters the room and accuses PG Of being a traitor. He asks to speak with PG in private, in his office. Fernando changes his mind and says they should go to Marcia's office. (He uses her even when she's not there.)

PG can see that Fernando's aura is very red with anger. Fernando wants PG to tell him what PG said to Lety. PG tells Fernando the same that he told the cuartel, he doesn't know who the other man is. PG tells Fernando that Lety is the light of his life. Fernando wants to know if he has a blue aura. Of course, PG confirms. Lety is the light of Fernando's life. Fernando begs PG to tell Lety that Fernando is in love with her. PG says he cannot; Fernando must fight for this love PG thinks Fernando should use this trip to put his spirit and thoughts in order. He tells Fernando to be patient. Fernando does a little "dance" and then tries the Luigi route, meditation.

Lety sits in her office with a pensive look on her face. She calls her mother to tell Julieta that she is confused. Everyone is saying that Aldo is more than just a friend and that he wants a relationship with Lety. Julieta obviously thinks this is a good idea and does not understand why this bothers Lety. Lety doesn't want to ruin her friendship with Aldo.

Luigi talks to the bear. Weirdly enough, he names it Jorge. Irmita enters the office and sees that Luigi received his present. Luigi tells Irmita that he's happy, euphoric really. "He wants me! He wants me!" He asks Irmita why she didn't say anything. She begins to tell him, but he interrupts her to say that it's not important. He shows her the card. Luigi cannot believe that this man wants to be with him forever. Irmita congratulates him. They hug.

Lety continues to talk to her mother about Aldo. Lety confesses that her friendship with Aldo is very important. She needs him with her. Julieta thinks Aldo can give Lety all his support and give her something more. Lety says she knows what she's going to do. She's going to forget all about it. It's an idea that's been put in her head by Carolina and PG. Besides, Aldo has never shown her that he wants anything more than a friendship. Lety tells her mother that she loves her and hangs up.

Erasmo asks why Lety called. Just to say hello, Julieta replies.

Aldo complains to Carolina (on the phone) about his feelings. He's trying to finish the last chapter of his book, but his emotions are getting the best of him. Giving a gift didn't make it any better. Nothing is making his love evident to his significant other. Aldo knows that he just needs to come out and say it but he's afraid, because there's someone else. Luigi overhears all this, thinking Aldo's talking about him.

Terminology of the day:

Revolcada = "wipe out"

Tomorrow: Will Alicia believe Tomas? Will Aldo finally tell Lety about his feelings? Will Fernando ovehear?

Thanks so much Amanda for a super quick recap!
That was a great interpretation of the conversations. I was so curious to find out what PG said, and Omar and Fernando.
Unless I can catch a few words I am lost until I can see the recap.
I appreciate so much what all of you do!
I still say the psychic is one of the most appealing characters on the show, even in his disco suits!!

Aldo should just tell Luigi that he is not gay. Now Luigi thinks that Aldo sent him that teddy bear.
Luigi needs to see Aldo kissing Lety. That will jolt him into reality.
Thanks for the quick recap.
 

Thank you so much I finally found totally translated in English recaps. I have been watching telenovela for about a year now and have caught on somewhat, but putting the closed caption and reading while listenening and picked up spanish enough to understand what is going on, but to have your recaps, all I can say is Thank You, Thank you, Thank you. Especially since I fell asleep on the part when Flowers came in.
 

I laughed out loud tonight when I saw Luigi going into Aldo's office with that huge bear thinking that Aldo was talking about him on the phone.
Also, when Omar lets out those girly sounding squeals and Jaime Camil almost cracks up I'm laughing so hard.
Thanks for the recap Amanda.

Thanks for the speedy recap! Saimon and the teddy bear were adorable. I can't understand how the actor who plays Omar can pull off the squealing scenes without bursting into laughter. I can't wait for some sort of romance to come back to the show... it's been a while since we saw some adorable pda! Oh and how adorable was Fernando when he said george flowers in an english accent!

Ester
 

Today when Heckle and Jeckle fought over the desk chair, Omar won. I love the daily variations on that theme.

Also, did anyone catch when Saimon met PG, he alluded to the Montagues and the Capulets when referring to the Mendiolas and Villaroels. Pretty clever for a messenger who's just embarking on the study of computers.
 

Saimon is a peculiar character. He's not supposed to part of the "clase alta" but if you listen really carefully to what he says he does insert a lot of classical references. I sometimes wonder if it's scripted or if it's the actor, who I think is highly educated and lives a good portion of his life in Italy.
 

PM wants to know how Lety kissed Aldo twice and is not his girlfriend....


Hello PM forget about that glass house you & the kid are living in...you did lots more with lots of guys & I don't think "Novia" was a term used....Not that I'm making a judgement call
I'm just sayin
 

Great recap, thanks. The good news-great mirth caused by various misunderstandings, especially Luigi and the "osito." (That was one ridiculously large bear.) The bad news-no matter how entertaining the little sideshows are, we're off the main romance track. OK, Sr. Flores, we understand that Fern needs to suffer and change. We need a little romance here, ok? Watching Fern flip the seashell just doesn't do it for us.
 

Thanks for the recap Amanda. I totally agree, if Omar is speaking w/ reason I think the whole world at Conceptos is turned upside down.

I had to laugh at Omar's squeal. It cracked me up and then to see Jaime losing it made it even funnier. I am convinced that scene was a blooper that they fixed w/ editing.

Do we think perhaps that Marcia might finally be getting a clue about the true situation between her and Fernando? I hope so.

As for Simon's Romeo & Juliet allusion, I think he is trying to let people know he is educated---with his use of different languages and literary references. That's what makes him so comical IMHO. He tries so hard, but still comes off as a loveable buffoon.

I agree, we need some romance and I'm still pulling for Lety and Fernado. The fact that the cuartel, minus Irmita, is on team Aldo makes me even more convinced that team Fernando is where to be. :-)
 

The thing about the pears - the first time Tomas ever saw Aldo, he overheard him dreamily saying he liked pears (and/or something about the shape of pears), among other things. Not knowing that Aldo talks this way about food all the time, Tomas assumed that Aldo was talking about pear-shaped Alicia and her big pears.

Me, I say if Aldo likes pears so much, maybe he should marry one.
 

I think Luigi is a little ridiculous with his constant lovestruck sufferings. He is worse than any woman I have seen but I suppose that is part of his over the top character.
I love Fern and Omar together! They are both so funny and play off each other really well.
Luigi reminds me of Sargent Pepper with his costume.
Somehow they have Alicia jammed in tight enough so she doesn't pop out of her outfits. Unless that would be in a future blooper reel?
It looks like Fern may need this business trip to calm down a little? Maybe Omar should go with him to watch over him.
I'm glad Marcia is heading off in another direction.
Thanks to everyone!

I think that Lety is better off with Aldo. Fernando needs to get back with Marcia and plan that stupid wedding!
 

I love how the characters on this show are completely incapable of telling one person's handwriting from another's. Lety can't tell Fernando's handwriting from Omar's, and now Lui doesn't recognize his own boyfriend's handwriting.
 

I so love those almost losing it scenes with Omar and Fern. It shows you what total professionals they are that they somehow manage to continue without completely falling apart. I know from personal experience that sometimes when you start to lose it you can't get it back under control and the harder you try the worse it gets.

Loved PG telling Fernando that Lety was the light of his life and that he was the light of hers. Team Aldo - sorry but that tells me exactly where this is going. Now if only Fern would take PG's advice and use his trip to get a grip on himself. Maybe he needs to start a diary.

Poor Marcia and the cursed wedding dress. For a minute there I thought she was going to pack it for her trip to Europe. I agree that she is finally beginning to see that the whole thing with Fern is a lost cause.

Now I'm curious about the other woman - the extranjero. The word means foreigner but it also means stranger. God help us I don't need Fern meeting up with some woman in the US.

Luigi and Aldo and the teddy bear. Ouch that confusion is going to be very painful to unravel. I had hoped Irmita would get the truth in before it got worse.

I still can't get over the cuartel and their gossipy was. They keep prying onto things that are none of their business. I almost choked when Juana said that nothing in Lety's life is private. So true and so none of their concern and no one noticed that Lety appeared a little upset. Two kisses and one is supposed to be novios. Odd how they seem to overlook PM's catting around.
 

Anonymous 1:08 no one can recognize anybody's else's handwriting because it looks like they all print. In any event I think the card from Rulli to Luigi was probably printed by the store where he ordered the gift.

Iola - if Luigi sees Aldo kissing Lety it may jot him into reality but will drive Fern over the edge.

Janet
 

zIt was very cute when Fern was calling PG guy Jorge Flowers, I need to watch those seens where he was talking English. And those cute faces/gestures when he was listening outside the door and he thought PG guy was referring to him (the generous man in Lety's life, etc. (I'm generous. That's me, just throwing money to everybody). Poor Fern was really upset that Lety was friends with PG guy. He said something like who's side are you on, mine or Letys?

>>>She picks up the wedding dress of shame and comments how it torments her.

Did Marcia pack the wedding dress into her suitcase? It kinda looked like it to me but I could be wrong.

I totally agree that Aldo should just tell Luigi already that he isn't gay. I think Aldo has strung Luigi along far enough already (probably not on purpose but it's beginning to look like it is).
 

Thanks Decie for the "light of your life" info. No matter how hard they try they are drawn to each other.
I hope Marcia wasn't taking the dress to Europe! She needs to either throw it away or give it to Alicia to save in her hope chest for her imaginary wedding with Aldo.
Maybe Luigi and Alicia could fight over it???
Just hoping for a little Fern and Lety romance!!!! I'm having real withdrawals over that one!!!!!

Carrie L.
 

I hope Marcia wasn't taking the dress to Europe!

I didn't see her take it out of the suitcase that's I posted it. I mean is she planning on getting married while over there or is she just going to torment herself during her whole trip.
 

She put the dress on top of the open suitcase, but it didn't look as though she was packing it. I think she was just trying to decide what to do with it.
 

Amanda, terrific recap! Thanks!

I thought that extranjero could mean "outsider" and wondered if it might even mean Caro (heaven forbid). It'll be interesting to see. She's not really such an outsider, though.

The Fern/Omar comedy team was really on top of their game last night. I was in stitches! But the cuartel is gettin' on my nerves.

Jeanne (more snowed in than not today)
 

Speaking of Omar I noticed the other day at the meeting he just ignored Caro. That isn't his usual way, having a tendency to hit on anything (or almost anything) in a skirt. I think she intimidates him. I'd like to see her make a run at him, she'd whip him into shape quick but I thinks she doesn't much care for him. Since everyone else is so miserably in love it is time for Omar to join the crowd.

Cassie
 

Last time Omar hit on Caro, she threatened to knock his teeth out. If he wants her, he's going to have to rethink his strategy.
 

Can someone tell me what Saimon's position is at Conceptos? Why is he always wearing a suit when he has to make deliveries. Didn't he move Fernando's boxes out of Lety's new office? Wasn't he about to deliver the big white bear?

Someone told me the other day that NBC owns telemundo and univision. Is that true?
 

A couple of people mentioned liking to hear Jaime speaking English. There is a clip on Youtube from his movie "I Love Miami", where there is a lot of Spanish/English trade offs. There's also a little bit of him (gulp) removing his shirt. If you type in the title, you should be able to avoid any LFMB spoilers.
 

Julie, if Caro did that to Omar, she is even higher in my estimation than I previously thought of her. That's why it didn't really feel right to think of her as an extranjera who might make Lety's life difficult. I suppose we'll have additional new characters.

Jeanne
 

>>>Can someone tell me what Saimon's position is at Conceptos? Why is he always wearing a suit when he has to make deliveries.

I believe he's a messenger studying computers to move up in the business world. As for his suits beats me, but he does buy them at the same place where Fern gets his. The only thing that comes to mind is "hay niveles".
