Caray, Caray!

Carla asks Fernando about the expo and Lety. He says that they both are perfect. Fernando turns to leave, but Carloca (Did I spell that right?) pulls him back. She asks if they are friends. He confirms that they are to Carloca and the two door people. Fernando and Carla share a moment of song and then head toward the expo.

At Conceptos, Alicia pretends that she was going to wait for Marcia to go to the expo. Tomas reluctantly leaves, his head hanging. Marcia obviously doesn't believe Alicia's game. She can't believe that Alicia was really going to the expo with Tomas. Alicia explains that Tomas was going to take her in "her" car. As if the bra-less outfit wasn't unattractive enough, Marcia contorts her face into some hideous form and says, "Your, car?!" Alicia blames it all on Tomas buying the lawyers. Marcia moves on and asks for her SUV. Alicia says that it's at her house because she doesn't have money to put gas into it. Marcia asks if this means that Alicia was planning on returning the car without gas. Alicia can't talk her way out of this so she talks about the "grave" problem. (Meaning Carloca) Marcia agrees and asks Alicia to accompany her to the bathroom to change. Before they leave, Alicia decides to lighten Marcia's mood by saying. "I don't want to hurt your feelings, but I think that you are about to be ousted again."

Irmita and Luigi debate the state of Conceptos. She thinks it's starting to shine. He thinks it's all about the platypus (Lety). Fernando enters the room. Yey! Vocab Lesson! Luigi calls Fernando a Guarrachon. I think he's playing on the word guarra which is used frequently in Spain to indicate someone who is very sexually active. A simpler way to explain it is Luigi is calling him a slut. (Someone correct me if I'm wrong on this.) The next thing Luigi calls Fernando is "el macho reproductor" the manly reproducer (instead of producer), so I'm almost sure that's what he meant when he said guarrachon.

Anyway, back to the show! Fernando asks Luigi if he (Fernando) may speak alone with Luigi. Luigi thinks he's talking to the ladies and says not to be a long time. Fernando corrects Luigi, saying he (Fernando) wants to talk with him (Luigi). Fernando realizes he's not getting anywhere with Luigi so he asks Irmita to remove the dancers and give he and Luigi a moment alone. Irmita rushes the women out of the room. Luigi defiantly sits in one of the chairs and says that they really don't have anything to talk about. Fernando doesn't waste time. He pulls Luigi out of the chair and immediately asks why Luigi changed the direction for the book delivery. Luigi accuses Fernando of spying but Fernando says it was impossible not to listen considering how loud Luigi talked on the phone. Luigi half admits that he changed the address. At least the address was still in the same district! He accuses Fernando of turning into "Super Fernando to the rescue." Fernando scoffs. Luigi thinks that Fernando is about to unleash and he backs away and hisses at Fernando. Fernando whispers the word "speak" at Lunge. Luigi thinks this means that Fernando is about to hit him. Luigi turns and confesses to Fernando that he(Luigi) is in love with Aldo. Fernando doesn't react at all. Luigi now says that he's very much in love with Aldo. Fernando feigns understanding. Luigi goes on and says he found out that Aldo is in love with the most horrifying woman ever! How could a man be so stupid to fall in love with such an ugly woman? Fernando give Luigi one ugly look. Luigi, who is apparently more intuitive than every one else on the show, conjectures that this look means that Fernando is also in love with Lety. Fernando challenges Luigi by saying "Yes, I'm also in love with Lety. So what?" Luigi sits, stands, sits, stands. He cannot believe it. He thinks that Lety must have done this with witchcraft, because what does could she possibly have. Fernando does some gestures, trying to think of how to explain it. His final answer, what does Lety have? "Things." Luigi now stalks Fernando and says that he's going to make sure that the expo is a failure. Fernando walks straight toward Luigi and asks if Luigi is crazy. Luigi backs down and says he was just reacting; he can't believe that two very good looking men could...this only happens in the novelas! Fernando takes two steps back and pretends that he was just joking when he said he was in love with Lety. This relieves Luigi. Before Luigi can leave the room, Fernando asks Luigi to leave Lety alone, because she's the president of Conceptos!

In the showroom area, Anais interviews a very nervous Lety. Lety attempts to explain the goals of the expo and the campaign. At first her eye twitches and she looks nervous, but she eventually calms. Lety calls her mom to come over to the interview. Lety presents her mother and tells Anais that Julieta helped with the recipes and the mole. Erasmo catches the fever and he steps in front of the camera to say hello to all of Mexico and especially his uncle Lazaro.

Aldo catches Caro and Lety taking some photos. He rushes over to Lety to kiss her on the cheek to thank her for everything she's done for him. They all talk about the success of the event. Tomas walks into this scene with a sad look on his face. Lety and Aldo try to cheer him up, but he's depressed about love. He wanted to bring Alicia. Aldo asks for her. Tomas pulls out his photo of Alicia and says that is all he brought because the real thing wanted to send him to the devil and left him all alone, sad and grief-stricken. Aldo tries to assure Tomas that there will be better times. Tomas says that Aldo can sympathize because he know what it's like to have love that is not corresponded. Lety nervously laughs. She and Aldo slap Tomas on the back.

OH MY GOD! Darth Teresita is gone and in her place is Bozo the Mendiola! Humberto and Teresita greet Lety. They congratulate her on the success. Ariel stands with the Mendiolas. Lety introduces Aldo. Ariel says some stupid line about not liking people who smiled, but that he now does because everyone seems happier. (Huh?) Humberto comes forward and personally greets Aldo, who gives the credit for the expo to Lety. Caro steps forward and says hi to all the Mendiolas. Ariel complains about no longer owning the company. Humberto hushes him and congratulates Lety for the expo's success.

Lety walks over to the cuartel to talk, but everyone is distracted by the presence of Fernando and Carloca. The cuartel comments about Carla and Fernando. They abandon Lety, forcing her to say hi. Luckily, Anais enters and says hello to Carloca. They are old friends. Re-hash about the expo. Anais gives a brief history to Carloca about Lety meeting Aldo in Acapulco. Fernando turns to leave, but returns. Aldo and Fausto watch in the background. Carla hears more of the story and she excitedly talks about Acapulco and how romance of that location. Irmita rushes over to the group to steal Lety. After Lety leaves, Fernando grabs Anais's hands and asks if she likes Acapulco. Yup, and so does Carloca. Next Fernando asks if Anais likes Aldo. Oh, she just loves him. “Brilliant! Brilliant!" Fernando responds. He excuses himself and asks Anais to take charge of Carla for a moment. Anais and Carloca leave; Fernando rushes to somewhere.

In the lounge, Aldo and Fausto pause for a moment. Aldo explains that it bothers him to see Fernando around Lety. Aldo knows that Fernando is still in love with Lety, but he can never show. Now, he's parading around his new "love", Carla. Fausto thinks this is a sign that Fernando is trying to make Lety jealous. Aldo doesn't think that Lety will ever fall for Fernando's games a second time. (Brave words, considering this is novelaland. That's usually the kiss of death!)

Luigi prepares the models for the show. Irmita enters the room with Lety. Lety asks Luigi why he wanted to see her. He makes some mean spirited jokes about her appearance saying that he didn't really want to "see" her. Luigi starts out saying he cannot believe it, but changes his mind about that approach and asks Lety if she's going to give the opening speech. Luigi cruelly explains that he doesn't think that Lety should stand in front of all those businessmen and the international press because she'll give them a heart attack. Lety sarcastically thanks him and leaves. Irmita pulls Luigi aside but he justifies his comments because of his disdain for Lety. He thinks to himself about what he can do to get to Lety.

Fernando catches Lety rushing down the hall. He asks her if it's a problem with Luigi. She says that Fernando made her mad with the whole thing with the books. Fernando starts to explain that the books were not his fault, but Lety doesn't want to let him into her space. He backs up and notices that he ran into a picture. He tries to fix it, but it's a little cockeyed. Lety realizes that it was Fernando who moved the Monster Lady Parts Seashell of Doom painting, but Fernando doesn’t catch on to her comment about the painting. Fernando explains that he did not change the address for the books. Lety takes this to mean that Omar did it. Fernando says it wasn't Omar either, and in fact they saved the books. Fernando asks for a moment to speak with Lety. She reluctantly agrees. They walk different directions and then end up in the same lounge where Fausto and Aldo talked earlier.

Aldo stands in the background and watches the discussion between Fernando and Lety. She explains all the mean things that Luigi said to her. Fernando tells Lety not to pay Luigi any attention, because she's going to do the speech. Lety says she's not so sure she should. Fernando says that she's the president, so she has to stand in front of the businessmen and the press. Lety replies that the company isn't really hers. It's hers for political and legal reasons only. Fernando says that Lety is the president of Conceptos because she deserves to be. Lety and Aldo are impactado.

Fernando and Lety continue to talk. Fernando tells Lety that she's helped come up with great new ideas. This whole campaign is hers. She protests by saying she's an economist, not a public speaker. Fernando replies that all those people want to see Lety speak because they want to hear about her campaign and because the want her to confirm to them exactly why she's the president of the company. She's waited for this all of her life and now she should enjoy it. It's time that she is recognized. Fernando says that Lety doesn't need to believe what he says or in him, but she needs to believe in herself. She should go to the stage and show all those people the woman with whom he, Fernando, fell in love. Aldo looks nervous. Fernando grasps Lety's hands, kisses them and wishes her luck. He realizes he crossed the line and quickly rushes out of the room. Lety wistfully watches him leave and then says his name.

Aldo enters the room. He apologizes for remaining in the room. He didn't want to be rude and cross in front of them to leave. Lety tries to explain what happened, but Aldo says she doesn't need to because he agrees with what Fernando said. Lety says that she doesn't believe anything that Fernando says. Aldo says that she should because Aldo could tell that he was sincere. Lety can't believe what Aldo is saying. Aldo says that he honors those who deserve it and tonight Fernando has shown him a different side. Aldo says he respects Fernando so much more. Lety explains that this is the Fernando with whom she fell in love. They pass an awkward moment talking about Aldo, Fernando and love.

Yazmin walks over to Luigi and begs to be a part of the expo. Luigi reminds her that she's just the receptionist. He dismisses her, saying she has two left feet. She would be better off dancing with the cuartel. This inspires Luigi. He's going to do something, and it has to do with the cuartel.

Alicia and Marcia rush into the expo. Marcia watches everyone and ends up fixed on Carloca and Fernando. At that moment, Bozo walks over to Fernando and asks for Marcia. Bozo sidesteps the question and introduces Carloca. Bozo still wants to know about Marcia. Fernando explains that he hasn't seen Marcia in a long time.

Alicia and Marcia watch all of this. Alicia asks if Marcia wants to go greet Teresita. Marcia's not in the mood. She places herself and Alicia on the second level, behind the executive tables. Meanwhile, Fernando explains to Carla that Marcia is the only woman his mother has ever liked.

Alicia tries to prompt a reaction out of Marcia. Marcia stone walls and says that she has class and dignity. She thought this woman wouldn't bother her, but she's really dying of jealousy. She and Alicia decide to spy. They re-enter the expo.

The presentation starts. An announcer greets everyone to the expo and introduces Lety. She slowly approaches the stage, but trips and falls on her way. Once she gets to the stage, she begins to speak in her little girl voice. Fernando and Aldo rush to the stage to help. Fernando tells her not to stand so close to the microphone. He and Aldo have a moment and then it's back to Lety. She now stands so far from the microphone that no one can hear her. Fernando signals for her to breathe.

Lety begins her speech, thanking everyone who contributed to the campaign. She thanks Guillermo, Fernando, Marcia and other contributors. Fernando whispers to Omar that she's not going to thank Aldo. AT that moment she decides to give a very special thanks to a certain person, Aldo. He stands and thanks everyone. Lety asks Aldo to come to the stage and say a few words. Aldo gives a nice little speech about Mexican food and it's affect on Mexican culture. There's a short video.

Fernando is the first to stand. He approaches the stage. He sarcastically thanks Aldo for all his help with the campaign. All the executives look nervous. He goes on about Aldo's book and points to a GIANT poster of Aldo with the book. Lety runs over to Fernando and quickly takes the microphone, which Aldo takes from her and also sarcastically thanks Fernando. The men take a few swipes at each other. The goodwill must be over because the they both basically tell each other to die.

Luigi sits in his "office" and says to himself that after his commercials are presented, Lety will see his surprise. Irmita enters and asks Irmita to talk to her. Luigi complains about his life. He tells Irmita that he's in love with Aldo and today he found out that Aldo is in love with Lety. Irmita is impactado (in a happy way).

The announcer enters the stage again to introduce Luigi. He descends from the second stage to much applause. Luigi says he has something very personal to tell Aldo and Conceptos' president. Cue the golden circle of tomorrow!

I promised this a while ago. Here’s the Youtube link for the Pinky and the Brain video. Enjoy!
