Caray, Caray!

At the editor's office, Aldo has the pleasure of hearing Erasmo's story about his wealthy uncle Lazaro who attained his fortune through hard work. Erasmo notices that Aldo is not listening and is instead writing in his book. Aldo explains that he is writing a dedication to someone very special. Erasmo wants to know who, but Aldo says he would like to hear more about Uncle Lazaro. Erasmo happily obliges and begins anew the story of his exception Uncle Lazaro.

Back at the office "the boys" go on about how much they missed each other. They walk through the secretaries lobby and embrace. The girls look at them as though this is a strange act. Once the men realize they're being stared at, they immediately separate. The men decide to be "manly" and instead slap each other on the back and say how much they missed each other. Omar excuses himself to go take care of some business with Luigi. Omar passes Juana and tells her she looks lovely today. Fernando walks over to Sara to ask if Lety is in her office. Sara affirms. Fernando turns to the rest of the secretaries and tells them that they are all pretty. He goes on for a while about how much he finds all women attractive. Alicia has a difficult time understanding this, but luckily she's saved by her ringing phone. It's Marcia, who's finally made it to México. Alicia tells Marcia to hurry to the office. Fernando's arrived and gone directly into Lety's office. Alicia understands that Marcia cannot do anything, but Alicia insists that is necessary that Marcia be present.

In Lety's office Fernando greets Ms. Padilla Solis. Lety whimsically glances at him and then drops her pen. It takes her a moment, but she stands up and greets him as well. She did not know that he already arrived. He explains that he wanted to prepare some things for her before coming to see her. Lety asks about the trip. He replies that the trip was excellent and that the campaign is ready for the United States. Lety thanks him as he hands her his papers. He tells her that the only thing they need now is for Marcia to arrive from Europe with good news. Lety agrees. Fernando asks about tomorrow's expo. She explains that Caro will be arriving later and they will have a small meeting about the expo. Lety then asks if he likes the new office decorations. He politely replies that it looks very pretty. He didn't realize that a rainbow was born from Conceptos. He also says that the painting gives a nice touch. Lety asks him to be present in the meeting later. He agrees and asks if all the guests for the expo have arrived. She says that most have. He asks if they are attended to well. She says yes, and not to worry about it. He tells her that someone very important to the campaign will be arriving in a few minutes. He then excuses himself and tells Lety that he will see her in the meeting. She watches him leave and then says her catchphrase "Don Fernando, tan divino." [Don Fernando, so divine.]

Arco iris - Rainbow

Now that he's outside of Lety's office, Fernando pumps his fist in triumph. He knows that he just scored a slam-dunk. None of the secretaries notice this. Alicia stands up and heads to the bathroom with her clown kit. She announces to the cuartel that she's going to the bathroom to make herself more beautiful. Luigi, Caro and Omar enter the secretaries' lobby. Luigi really does not want to go see the "platypus", Lety. Caro changes the subject and says how nice the office looks. . Omar agrees with Caro's compliments. Luigi strokes his own ego for a moment, then Caro greets the cuartel. PM advises Caro that Lety is waiting for the trio in her office. Caro turns and runs into Fernando. He tells Caro about how nice his trip was. Luigi thinks that if it was so nice, why didn't Fernando just stay there? Fernando responds by saying that he really missed Luigi as well. Fernando gives Luigi a hug. Luigi pushes him away and says that all Fernando has to see is something pretty and feminine and he goes right to it all because of his "macho" instincts. Fernando gets a kick out of Luigi's verbal assaults and does a cute little impression. Caro turns to Fernando and asks if he will be in the later meeting. He affirms. She leaves to take a moment with Lety.

In the president's office Caro and Lety greet one another. Caro compliments the new look for the office and then asks Lety about how she feels. Lety explains that she’s a little nervous about the expo tomorrow. Caro tells Lety that everything is going well. Caro asks if Lety has seen Fernando. Lety replies that she saw him and that he gave a report about his trip and then said nothing more. He said nothing about what he promised the last night they saw each other. Lety says that he didn't and that he seems to be a changed man. She thinks the trip helped. Caro asks if Lety preferred the man Fernando was before. Lety says she prefers this one because he will leave her in peace.

Outside, a taxi pulls up to the curb. Crazy Carla steps out and tells Celso to advise Fernando that she has arrived. Celso seems to be hypnotized by the Crazy Carla spell.

Lety says that she always knew that Fernando didn't really love Marcia. But if there was someone else, who he really liked, then Lety thinks it would be easier for her to forget him. Caro asks about Aldo. Lety smiles and says that they were really happy without Fernando around for twenty days. Lety calls PM to tell the executives that she's ready to start the meeting. Once Lety hangs up, Caro asks what Lety is going to do about the situations with Fernando and Aldo. Lety pouts and doesn't answer.

Saimon stands in the reception area flirting with Yazmin. Crazy Carla and Juana enter the area at practically the same time. Crazy Carla asks Saimon to advise Fernando that she has arrived. Saimon replies and says that Fernando is his hero.

The secretaries must have heard about this moment, because they're talking about an elegant and beautiful woman who has arrived at Conceptos. Carla steps off the elevator. The ladies immediately run back to their desks. Crazy Carla comes into their area asking for Fernando. Sara asks if Crazy Carla has an appointment with Fernando. Crazy Carla explains that she is an executive from a publicity agency in New York and that Fernando is waiting for her.

Now in the boardroom, Lety asks Luigi about the commercials for the campaign. He advises that they are all completed because he stayed up the whole night editing them. Omar points out that both he and Luigi stayed up doing the commercials. Luigi points out how pleasant it was to work with Omar. Everyone in the boardroom enjoys this moment. Lety points out that this project is a great one, it's going to show the real Mexico with all it's customs. Sara interrupts the meeting. Luigi complains but Sara cuts him short to tell Fernando that Carla Santibanez has arrived. Fernando explains that Carla is an important executive from New York and that she needs personal attention. Luigi uses this opportunity to take a personal dig at Fernando: if Fernando has to leave the meeting, they really won't miss him. Fernando sarcastically replies that he'll miss Luigi as well and then excuses himself from the meeting. Lety looks none too happy. Omar talks about how well the campaign is going. Lety half pays attention.

Back in the secretaries' lobby, Fernando happily greets Carla. He and the secretaries greet her. Carla responds that she's hear to mix up his life. "Just like I mixed it up in the United States!", Fernando responds. The secretaries look shocked. Fernando grasps Carla's hands and tells her that her nights in Mexico will be as seductive as the nights they spent in the United States. [Which basically means that Carla still ain't gettin' any.!] Carla looks thrilled. He embraces Carla to take her to his office and announces to the secretaries to tell Lety that he will not return to the meeting. This throws the secretaries into a gossip fury. Alicia jokes that they must be talking about her "qualities." The girls throw some insults at each other. (Nothing we haven't heard before.)

The only thing that Luigi wants out of the event is punctuality. Caro says that everything will be very punctual. PM interrupts Luigi, who complains about the cuartel's interruptions. PM advises the executives that Fernando will not be returning because he's attending a special guest. Needless to say, Luigi doesn't care. Lety looks worried. Luigi complains that some visitor is more important than all the executives in a meeting. Lety twitches.

PM and the cuartel gossip about Fernando. PM says that she didn't want to tell Lety much in front of everyone else. The elevator door opens and Juana comes sprinting into the room. She wants to know who this new woman is. Sara oversees Alicia listening to their conversation and says that this information is for friends only. Sara turns to Juana and explains that this woman and Don Fernando are "mixing up" each other's lives. They gossip a little more about the hug and the confidence Fernando seemed to have in this woman. Sara points out that the two are now shut in Fernando's office.

The conversation in the Mendiola-Carvajal office is probably less spectacular than what the cuartel assumes. Fernando tells Carla that he did enjoy the days they spent together and that he's happy that she's her. He asks if she wants to see Conceptos. She replies that she is at his disposal and that he knows what he can do with her. He says that she's making nervous. Sara comes into the office and frightens the pair. She asks Carla if she wants anything to drink. Fernando scolds Sara for entering without knocking. Sara reminds Fernando that he scolded her earlier for not offering Carla anything to drink. Carla asks for some calmantes. (calmantes = painkillers) Sara asks what type. Carla laughs and says any kind. Fernando tells Sara that Carla doesn't want anything. Sara tells Carla that she has fizzy painkillers or in pill form. Fernando urges Sara to leave. Sara swears that she will not ever enter again without knocking. Fernando tries to calm her and prevent her from crying. Since she won't leave, he gently "helps" her out of the office. Once Sara goes on, Fernando goes on and on about how much he liked the United States. Carla thinks that México City is just as nice.

The cuartel gossips about Sara's adventure in Fernando's office. She looked for lipstick marks on him, but saw nothing. His shirt wasn't even open. The pair was very cordially talking, as if they were friends. AT this moment Fernando and Carla exit the office. He announces that he's going to show Carla every single corner of Conceptos. He spots the cuartel following him and scares them away with a song. Since Lety's still in the meeting, he decides to show Carla the president's office first.

Fernando offers Carla one of the guest's chairs and immediately occupies the president's chair. He realizes his mistake and quickly stands. He thinks that the aqua color inspires vomit. Carla notes that he's talking as though this is the first time he was in this office. He explains that this used to be his office, but that it's really changed. Carla thinks that whoever did the decorations has really good taste. She asks if Lety did the changes. He explains that it was Luigi. Fernando overhears Lety ending the meeting in the boardroom. He rushes out of the office, realizes that he forgot Carla, runs back to get her and then pulls her out of the office. IN the process, he scares the hell out of the cuartel.

Lety enters her office and sniffs. Something is up; she just doesn't know what.

Luigi storms through the secretaries' lobby and complains about all the interruptions to the meeting. He storms away. Fernando begins to explain Luigi's identity but changes his mind and says that the boardroom is where that men exited. There was just a very important meeting. Carla points out that Fernando should have been present in the meeting. Fernando says that it was much more important to take care of her. Carla asks him when she gets to meet the president. She's very curious to get to know her. Fernando whispers in Carla's ear that she's talking to much about Lety. He notices that the cuartel is eavesdropping and asks them if they have any work. To get some privacy, he moves Carla from the area. Before they leave the room completely, Carla turns around and tells Fernando that they should kiss. She leans in. The cuartel loves all of it! Fernando pulls away. Fernando tells Carla that she should kiss him only if she wants to help with his funeral tomorrow when Marcia gets back from Europe. Carla asks him about who he's really considering - Lety or Marcia? She goes for a kiss again. Fernando literally dances around the subject. He says that he never mixes business with pleasure. (cough, cough). Carla doesn't believe him. She points out that Fernando kissed Lety many times in this office. She says they can delay the kiss for a little while. He likes this and decides to introduce her to Luigi.

Luigi says that Fernando's voice makes him nauseous. Fernando ignores this and introduces Carla. Luigi really likes Carla's look. He thinks that it's a shame that she's never professionally modeled. He leans in and warns Fernando to be careful with Fernando. Fernando overhears and defends himself. Omar is the great seduction artist of the office. Carla tells Luigi that she's non too worried about Fernando. Luigi takes Carla's hand and leads her away in order to show her how he creates his commercials.

Just because we need more re-hash, the cuartel gossips some more. They explain to Lety just how hot Carla really is. PM goes on and on about how Fernando and Carla greeted each other, their chemistry, how they hugged, etc. The cuartel conjectures that there is an adventurous romance between the two. Lety hurriedly excuses herself by saying that the conversation is interesting but she has a lot of work. She books it to her office. The cuartel follows. Lety asks the cuartel why they are telling her all of this. Sara and PM point out that this information is very important to Lety; she should appreciate it. Lety says that this is Marcia's problem, not hers. The cuartel gives up and leaves.

Alicia talks with Marcia on her phone. Alicia tells Marcia that there are now two women who want to take her boyfriend. One is horrible and the other is beautiful. Alicia thinks the executive is very dangerous. Alicia just wants to warn Marcia that she should get home as soon as possible. She'll keep Marcia informed.

Lety flings around her chair for a bit and then laments the "New York romance."

Tomas and Lopez see Fernando and Carla making their way through the office. All Tomas can do is stare at Carla. The two men part ways.

Tomas enters Lety's office. He tells Lety that there was a divine apparition in the office. It wasn't Alicia; it was a beautiful woman with Fernando. Tomas picks up that Lety is irritated and takes back his words. She wasn't very beautiful. In fact, she seemed a little silly. Lety doesn't believe him. Tomas says that maybe this woman snores. Lety says that snoring a lot is not a defect. Tomas still looks stupefied. He points out that Lety seems to be jealous. Lety pretends like it doesn't bother her at all. Tomas says that she's jealous of this executive.

The cuartel gossips some more. [This one line could really surmise their entire purpose in this episode.] Where did Fernando take that woman? The gossip about locations. They figure out that Alicia is listening to their conversation. Alicia, who is reading a magazine about rottweilers, says she's reading about the cuartel's relatives. The cuartel doesn't believe her. They accuse each other of being nosy. The cuartel accuses Alicia of being a spy for Marcia. The insults fly. Once Alicia leaves, the cuartel decides to elect someone to follow Fernando. They need an expert to do this.

Back in the president's office, Tomas asks Lety if she really thinks she can deceive him, her confidant. She admits that she's jealous. Her heart hurts. But she cannot do anything!
