Caray, Caray!

Fern: "From now on we won't be seeing each other, I'm going away." "I hope by the time you get back you'll have matured and stopped trying to use people for your personal gain." "When I get back, I'll have found a way to prove how much I love you." Lety cries.

Fernando enters Marcia's apartment. They give each other a chilly hello. She asks if he's finished with his work at the office. Fernando says yes, that everything is ready for tomorrow's trip. Marcia wants to talk to Fernando about something... but Fernando interrupts and begs off with the excuse that tomorrow they have to get up early. Marcia wants talk about the fight with Aldo. Fernando, being the "man" that he is lies and says it was about the company. Marcia doesn't buy it. Fernando took off looking for Aldo when Marcia told Fernando that Aldo was in love with Lety. Fernando mumbles to himself, but Marcia continues. Fernando angrily took off from Omar's office, searching for Aldo and ended up fighting with Aldo. It doesn't take a genius to figure out what happened. Fernando tries to worm his way out of the conversation by saying this is not the time. Marcia patiently asks him when he would like to talk about it. Maybe when they get back from their respective trips? Fernando points out that tomorrow he will be on a trip that will take him far away from Lety. Marcia asks if he's sure. Fernando cannot believe that Marcia thinks that Lety is going to catch up with him in the United States. Marcia thinks that Fernando is going to the US to get away from both women. Fernando explains that it's just a business trip; it's necessary for Conceptos. Marcia replies that she hopes that Fernando clarifies his ideas, his life and his feelings. When he gets back they can decide what will happen between the two of them. Fernando nods.

Alicia, looking angelic in the wedding dress of shame, complains to herself that she cannot sleep. The dress may be a little small, but she's not planning on removing it. If she keeps it on all night, she will fulfill her dream of marrying Aldo. The dress is very tight, but love is sacrifice; she's doing it for Aldo. Alicia sings the notes of the wedding march to herself.

Back at the apartment, Marcia asks Fernando if he's staying or leaving. He replies that he'll stay for a while. Marcia says she'll wait for him in the bedroom.

While Fernando pensively sits on the couch, we hear a voiceover of Lety writing in her diary. She almost gave in. For one moment, she believed him. She needed to believe him, how he begged for an opportunity to demonstrate his love. She felt as though she could die. She wanted him to demonstrate it to her. She wanted it to be the truth. Fernando begins to quietly cry to himself. Lety- "Although, after, I understood that... that once again he wanted to use me. The good thing is that I'm going to have twenty days without him. Although it hurts me so much that he's leaving." Fern loses it for a second and then gains control. He gets off the couch and heads to the bedroom.

Lety - "I know that Don Fernando is going through a difficult phase. He's doesn't know what to do with me and things with Dona Marcia are also going very poorly." [We see Fernando enter the bedroom, half-lay on the bed and stroke Marcia's hair] "Perhaps it will be better for the three of us that he's leaving, that he'll be gone for twenty days. Perhaps, I will be able to rid my heart of him. Although he promised me that when he returns he's going to demonstrate to me his love. El corazon a fuerza responde." (Out of necessity, the heart responds - I think; if I'm wrong, someone please correct me!) "Out of necessity it excites. It fills with hope, but I cannot permit this. The only thing that can save me is Aldo's love." [Pan to Aldo looking into the sky] "I should anchor myself to him, to the strong and honest love that he offers to me. But I don't deserve his clean and unselfish love because I am bringing a love that is completely the opposite." (So this seemed like a good idea to just translate five minutes ago. Now the chick won't stop talking! We're tired of looking at Moty PJ's, Lety. We know that you think Fernando is the Great Satan and Aldo is the greatest thing in the world! Move on!) I ranted and she quit talking! Que milagro! Why didn't I try that with the day that wouldn't end? ;-)

Hopefully, it's morning because Aldo looks awfully perky. He pulls up to Lety's house riding his bike and pulling another along with him. Pretending to be Romeo calling to his Juliet (Doesn't he know that they both ended up dead in the end of that story?) he softly calls to her bedroom window. When she doesn't answer, he honks the horn on one of the bikes. With some encouragement, Lety awakens.

Erasmo also wakes up. He wants to know what's going on outside. He throws back the covers to leave the bed. Julieta protests. Meanwhile, Lety opens the window and says to no one that it's Aldo. Erasmo peeks out the front window and sees the same thing. Aldo pardons himself to Erasmo who complains that Aldo arrives earlier and earlier. Aldo pardons himself again and explains that this is the best time to go out on a bicycle. He asks Erasmo to accompany them. Lety overhears this conversation and announces to Moty that she's going to ride a bicycle. Oh, there's a problem. Lety doesn't know how to ride a bicycle. Lety leaves her room complaining to Moty that she's going to die on a bike.

We are treated to a lovely shot of the airport at night. Inside, Fernando checks his passport and then calls Omar. He tells Omar to get up. It's late - five in the morning. Omar complains that it is still yesterday. Fernando says that Omar needs to get up and find out Lety and Aldo's location. Omar's sure they're sleeping like normal people. (Has he ever met these two people? They don't really meet the definition of "normal people." Fernando fake laughs. He reminds Omar that it's important that Lety does not forget about him, Fernando. Omar cannot believe this, but he swears that Lety will not forget about Fernando. Oh yes, she's going to be thrilled with Omar following her around reminding her of Fernando. Fernando tells Omar that he, Fernando, wants pictures of what goes on with Lety and with Aldo. Fernando will check for them on his cellular phone and on his computer. Omar jokes that Fernando wants Omar to do a reality show like Big Brother, but starring Aldo and Lety. Fernando has one more instruction, his most important. Every time that Omar gets a chance, he must turn over the painting of the conch shell. Omar says he understands all of his instructions. After Fernando hangs up, Omar repeats his instructions to himself. "Turn over Fernando...do a reality show about the conch shell painting...and make sure that Aldo's around all the time." (Why do I think the next few episodes are going to be fun?) Omar sleeps for a moment, but Fernando calls and tells Omar to get up.

In the park Aldo tries to teach Lety how to ride a bike. She doesn't want him to let go, but he thinks she's doing very well. He gives her a little push and she completely wipes out. Just like a fainting goat that goes rigor mortis every time it's frightened (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=we9_CdNPuJg), Lety remains in the upright and seated position on the bike, despite the fact that both she and the bike are laying sideways. Aldo rushes over to the two of them. Aldo removes the bike and then helps Lety. She claims to be fine and states that nothing hurts. He saves the helpless little woman anyway and sweeps her off her feet. Their faces get close enough to kiss, but nothing happens. He sets her on the ground and laughs at her little accident. Lety bravely re-mounts the bike to try again. He promises not to let go this time, but jokingly lifts his hands several times.

Um, Celso is doing push-ups. Yummy... Anyway, Omar sleepily enters the office with a camera around his neck. He sees Celso doing his push-up routine. Celso stands up and asks if Omar is really Don Omar. Omar says he's not sure. He is a Don Omar who should be in bed, sleeping with Slovakian models. (Sweet, we Slovak chicks rule! I'll come snuggle with you Omar, but...I'm not a model...and I don't think my husband would like that very much...Anyway...) Celso asks Omar what he's doing there so early. Omar replies that he's on a special mission for his loving ex-president. Celso offers to get Omar something. Omar asks for a quadruple espresso. Celso laughs and then says that after his routine, he will go get that for Omar. Omar says that Celso looks strong, or at least Celso's odor is very strong. Celso sniffs himself.

Omar enters his office and gets to sit in his chair without a battle. He falls asleep in his chair, but his phone rings. I wonder who it could be? It's Fernando! Omar asks Fernando why he feels the need to torture Omar. Fernando reminds Omar that this is all his fault - it's all because of Omar's ideas and that damned letter! Omar gives up and says it's all his fault. Omar begins to say that he has no idea how to make Fernando a constant presence in Lety's life, but Omar is interrupted by finding a photo. He now has an idea. Jaime Camil gives us a taste of his classically trained vocals and samples the "Hallelujah Chorus." Omar tells Fernando to relax and leave everything in Omar's hands. Omar claims to have much talent. (At what exactly? Meddling? Cause we know neither of you actually work, boys!) After he hangs up with Fernando, Omar smacks himself and whips out a pair of scissors. He immediately does what we wish Fernando would do in real life - cuts Marcia out of the picture! (Better hope that Lety finds the picture and not Marcia!)

Still in the park, Lety is riding the bike all by herself. The pair marvel at Lety's bike riding skills. The sit on the stairs and Lety praises Aldo. Lety and Aldo re-hash. He loves her; wants her to feel it. She was hurt by Fernando and is really scared. She wants their relationship to be separate from Conceptos. Ah! Julie! You must be the new PG! Did you see her stroke the necklace! It has magic powers! She wants to know if he told anyone that he loves her. He admits that he told two people.

The cuartel enters the office, gossiping as usual. They re-hash the Aldo/Fernando fist fight. Oh! We're treated to a re-cap of the Jorge Flores prediction as well. They're talking about the fight when they overhear a strange sound. What could it be???? Oh no! It's the photocopier! No one's permitted to work in this office! They sneak to the copy room to find the culprit.

Lety doesn't think it will be a problem if Aldo only told Tomas and Caro. They're very discreet and won't say anything to anyone. Aldo sighs. He doesn't want to hide his love. He wants the whole world to know. Lety explains that she does not want it interfering with their work. Aldo doesn't think this is the problem. He's going to love her openly and without lies and deception. Lety almost kisses Aldo, but Tomas interrupts’ them. They walk to the family and decide to go for quesadillas for breakfast.

The culprit is Omar! The copier decides to act like a fax machine and spit out blank papers at Omar. Sara stabs Omar in the leg with a letter opener and we are treated once again to "The Scream." The entire cuartel stares at Omar, mouths agape.

At the open air restaurant, Erasmo and Aldo make nice. Erasmo asks Aldo with whom he lives. Aldo replies that he lives alone. Erasmo thinks this is why Aldo is always out and about, but things will change once Aldo lives with a family. [There's a little interlude with Julieta questioning Tomas's blonde hair.] Erasmo explains that with a family the most important thing is unity. Aldo agrees but still believes in some freedom. Erasmo explains that he, Julieta and Lety are going to be together forever. [In case you're wondering, Erasmo called Tomas a "sponger."] Julieta interjects that one day Lety will have to learn to fly on her own. Needless to say, this pisses off Erasmo. He says the man worthy of Lety has not been born.

The cuartel question Omar; why he's in so early and what he's doing to the copier. Omar replies that the copier is crazy. Lola goes to help Omar but he pushes her away before she can find the picture of Fernando. He begs off, saying that he has a lot of work to do.

Aldo thinks that if he were in Erasmo's place, he would act exactly the same way. This pleases Erasmo. He's seen Lety suffer. [Julieta interrupts]. Erasmo says he wants Aldo to know that Lety is not alone. Aldo asks Erasmo for permission to help watch over Leticia, to protect her. Erasmo likes this. Tomas puts in his hands too, to protect Lety. Everyone laughs; Erasmo and Aldo half embrace.

Lety and Tomas think that it's strange that the cuartel has not arrived. Tomas is more preoccupied with Alicia. Lety asks Tomas for a favor - she doesn't want anyone to know that Aldo wants her. Tomas's face looks very guilty. Lety catches on that Tomas has already told someone. He remembers telling Alicia about Aldo loving Lety. Tomas lies and laughs. He is incapable of such a thing! Lety threatens Tomas saying that this is not a joke and that he better not say anything to anybody! Tomas swears that he will tell no one. After a short lull, Tomas asks Lety if he may borrow her car to go to the Bank. Lety hands over her keys. Before Tomas leaves he practices giving his card to Lety. Lety and he joke about the colors on the card. Lety suddenly becomes very sad. This office is missing something. Fernando is now flying to New York.

Sara stands on Marcia's picture in Omar’s office. She demonstrates how to scan a picture into the computer. It suddenly dawns on Omar that Sara is standing on the photo. She asks him what is wrong. He replies that it's nothing, he just wants to do this as quickly as possible. Sara continues with her instructions. Omar peers over the desk. Sara catches him, and thinks that he's looking at her butt. She backs out of the office with her hands protectively covering her rear. Omar runs for the picture, slips and smacks his head on the desk. Omar recovers and picks up the photo. He thinks to himself that Marcia will kill him if she finds out about this photo. Omar begins to scan the photo.

Back in the presidency Lety is still talking about Fernando. Lety changes the subject and says she received some mail from companies that will participate in the campaign. They spoke with Omar (I guess he does work) and now they want to sign the contract. She wants to talk to speak with Aldo. Tomas asks if she wants to speak with Aldo one or Aldo two. Lety replies that she wants the original, not the clone. The Aldo clone leaves for the Bank of Americas.

Like the strange little man that he is, Omar talks to his scan of Fernando's photo. He tells it that it will be present in Lety's life. With a whistle in his mouth and a hop in his step, Omar leaves for Lety's office. He sneaks past the cuartel only to get a strange glance from Lety. She announces that she's going to Aldo and will not be long. Omar takes this opportunity to enter Lety's office.

Alicia steps off the elevator, talking to her father. Tomas passes her. He asks how she likes the cell phone. She really, really does. He tells her to enjoy it and use it as much as she needs. Alicia tells Tomas that she could not sleep last night because she kept thinking about what he said about Aldo. She wants to know if Aldo really is in love with Lety. Tomas glances to the side and sees Lety and Aldo walking and talking. he remembers Lety saying not to tell anyone about her and Aldo.

Meanwhile...Omar begins his "brilliant" plan by placing photos all over Lety's office. He overhears Lety talking to Aldo outside of the office door. He knows that if he's caught, Fernando will not be pleased! (Run, Pinky, run!)

The cuartel rush over to Alicia to tell her that Marcia is awaiting Alicia's presence. Sara warns Alicia that Marcia has been asked for Alicia quite a few times. Alicia rushes to Marcia's office. Martha asks where Alicia got the phone. Lola thinks she took it from some idiot.

Alicia claims to Marcia that she's been the office for a while. The cuartel didn't tell her that Marcia was looking for her! Alicia says she has great news; what she thought was right. Marcia applauds Alicia for thinking. Alicia explains that Tomas said that Aldo was in love with Lety only to separate Alicia from Aldo. This news disappoints Marcia. Alicia asks why Marcia looks so sad. Marcia explains that she hoped that if Aldo was in love with Lety, then Lety would move away from Fernando.

In order to escape discovery, Omar hides himself in the cave. Aldo and Lety enter the office to talk about their morning on the bike. Lety asks if next time they're going to do motorcycles. Aldo smiles and says that he loves motorcycles, but this is not exercise. He thinks they should go skateboarding. Lety asks if Aldo is trying to kill her. Aldo replies that he'll have another surprise for her. Out of nowhere, he asks Lety if she likes that he brings her apples. Lety replies that she loves it. [Cut to Omar hiding in the cave.] He places the apples on her desk. With nowhere to go Lety sits herself on the desk. Aldo says he's going to talk to Luigi. He does some scary snicker and leaves. Lety seems to think this is very special. She admires her apple. Omar peeks out from the cave and comments to himself that this is the apple of discord. Ah! The Golden Circle of Tomorrow!

For tomorrow: When Marcia finds all these photos with her picture cut out, who's she going to blame: Omar or Lety?
