Caray, Caray!

Lety tells Tomas, yes she’s jealous! She’s dying of jealousy but what would he have her do. She says she’s going to have to restrain herself from showing it. Tomas asks her if it’s for her or Fer. She says neither, for Aldo, he can’t find out. Because she cares for him. He says, oh really. She says yes, really. He says well, he doesn’t care for you, and she says what? He says, no he looooves you. Aww, isn’t that just special. Lety says that’s the biggest reason he can’t know about this.

Tomas tells her that Aldo is very observant and figures everything out, it will be very hard to keep this from him, and asks her how she’s going to hide her jealousy that shows up ever so slightly on her face. Lety says she knows. She reaches into her purse (which does not seem to be a Moty one for a change) and pulls out her Natalie Woods. He tells her those won’t work. All those are going to do is make it a little darker and that’s all, it’s not really going to hide that green.

In the editing room, Fer is showing off to Carloca about the console and how he doesn’t really know how to turn it on or off except that they make films etc. She is impressed by the technology, and says they have put a fortune into it, he says something about a young president so they are up on the tech stuff to be modern and as such they are ambitious. She asks him how he lost the presidency and he mumbles that he committed some errors. She says well never mind you don’t have to explain anything to me, remember I just came here to shake up and disorganize your life. He says on the contrary you came here to give me life, to which a spying Oxi utters a noise in shock.

Fer catches Alibubi by seeing her reflection and he runs after her. He makes a joke of her name in English. Of course she denies that she was spying on them and says something about how Marcia asked her to check up on certain machines to make sure they were running ok. He makes fun and asks if she learned engineering and audio technical stuff in her 6 semesters. She tries to leave, but he introduces her to Carla instead. And tells who she is and why she’s here, and he asks if she would like more info like her measurements, her birthplace etc. Oxi says no, of course not she’s very discreet. After she leaves Fer says he hates her but sometimes she’s ok. Carloca thinks she’s nice. He thinks he still hates her. Car asks if she’ll call Marcia and he says obviously.

Fer continues showing Carla stuff and then he discovers Martha wandering past. He catches her too, and he figures Lety sent her and he gets all happy faced. Martha denies it, and he keeps joking with her until she starts taking it seriously and starts to cry. He backs off his jokes and tells her to go back and tell them all how busy he is with his "Visitor." Carloca comes up then and asks who she is, mentioning she a secretary, no? F- Yes, of human resources. He tells her he thinks Lety is spying on him and he’s very happy about it.

Lety recalls the news about Fer’s visitor and Lety decides she’s going to play his game, and she calls Aldo’s cell, apparently she doesn’t call it very often because he is surprised. She wonders when he is coming back, and he says she misses him and she agrees. He’s at the expo and will be leaving soon, but wonders if Fer got back and if she talked to him etc. and she tells him they only talked business. He tells her he has a surprise for her and she gets all excited about that; that she loves surprises.

Fer shows Carla the commercial Sabor de la Vida, obviously annoyed at the catch phrase, which originated with Aldo. Carloca thinks it’s great and wants to know who came up with idea. Fer says of course my Lety, er, the Presidenta Padilla. Carloca says she wants to meet her. Fer’s right eye twitches ala Lety! Twice! I hope it’s not catchy, I wouldn’t want that. Can you imagine people around your office or on the street suddenly breaking into this twitch?

Martha rejoins the cuartel to give them the scoop that she failed. The enemy discovered her. But, the good news is that Oxi was caught too. She also tells them Fer thinks Lety put her up to it.

Lety actually does some work on the phone about the floral arrangements for the expo. PM is summoned and she spills the beans that Fer is running around all over the business with his “Visitor”

Aldo shows up with his present for Lety, and Yasmin, uh Jasmin, doesn’t lose an opportunity to flirt with him while telling him where Lety is. Luigi runs into Aldo coming in with the present for Lety. He asks him if the present is for him, well assumes it’s for him because he is so deserving of such things. Aldo says, actually he has something just the same upstairs for him, but this one just isn’t the right thing. Lui says "No, cut, cut and repeat the scene, the Galan did not say what he was supposed to. He should have come up and said this lovely gift is for me and is an expression of his great love. And he could give a kiss, well that would be extra." Aldo laughs him off and says he’ll get his too.

Jasmin tells Luigi something about "also," and Luigi wants a cut again, what does she mean "also." She thinks the gift must be for Aldo's girlfriend. Lui frets to himself about what girlfriend and who could it really be for. If he knew it was for the Orrnitorinco ese, no doubt he would have another miminsqui.

PM tells Lety that Don Fer is leading Carla all over the firm. She says Alicia was spying on him too, but then he caught her and he introduced her. He caught Martha too. Lety is mad because she thinks if Don Fer finds out they are following him, he will think she sent them and she doesn’t want him to know that she’s even thinking about him. She begs PM to ask the cuartel to stop spying on him. PM apologizes for them.

Fer & Carla, still touring, Fer says sure he’ll introduce Lety, anyway they are going to work together, so they should meet. Carla asks him if he’s worried that she talks to Lety. He asks why and she tells him because they went out and well now she’s starting her fight for him and … ring ring Fer frantically reaches to grab his cell. Busted. It’s not his, it’s hers and she calls him on it. Turns out some other coworkers have arrived and she needs to have dinner with them so she’ll have to see him later. He walks off then remembers he should take her to the exit.

Aldo & Tomas are together in Aldo’s office and Aldo is bragging about his present to Lety and saying how he can now share his philosophy with the world, blah, blah, blah. Tomas has good and bad news for Aldo. The bad is that the peace & harmony in the firm is gone because Fer is back. Aldo already knew, what’s the good? That Fer showed up with a guapa on his arm and he thinks they are going together. Aldo asks him if he really thinks that’s good. What about Marcia and Lety’s feelings because surely she’ll be upset to see him with another woman even though she’s trying to forget him. Tomas thinks back to his conversation with Lety and begins to tell him that nah, she didn’t act jealous at all. Aldo seems shocked.

Fer come up to Martha and whispers that he will share something with her that she can tell all her buddies. Martha gets excited. He says that his esteemed visitor has now left the building. Go ahead and tell them all. He eats a chicharron and then mumbles with his mouth full to the cuartel that he had a private conversation with Martha.

They beg her to come over and tell them what he said. Before she can get it out, Simon shows up singing Don’t Cry for me Argentina in English and gives PM a gift. She’s really excited. Don’t get too happy now. For this I have to say he is quite creative. It’s a calendar with colored markers so she can mark each meeting with all of her men and a different color for each so she can keep them straight. PM is impactada, and really shows a good sad face. I felt her pain. She starts cry-screaming and walks out. The cuartel calls him rude.

Aldo is confused that Lety isn’t acting jealous over Fer. He asks Tomas if he thinks she’s over him, or getting over him? Tomas begs himself pardon for lying but lies through his teeth and says yes. He says he respects Aldo so much that he is going to call him his “Just Like” brother in law, Aldo wonders why, and Tomas explains because Lety is “Just Like” his sister, so he is the same. Man, Tomas is in on this grand conspiracy of Rosy Ocampo too. What will happen to all these high hopes for Aldo if they don’t get together? I wouldn’t care actually, I like Aldo, but he’s wearing on me, and well, of course I’m still routing for Fer.

Omar comes into the joint office [I just think this is a brilliant idea by the writers. What opportunities for funnies. Sorry, but I think these are some of the best scenes nowadays.]and ask Fer just where the heck he has been. Fer tells him he was showing around his visitor. Omar wonders if she is the same bonbon from NY, he tells him yes and then starts teasing him. Fer wonders where he’s going with his comments and realizes he might be trying to get the seat, so he preemptively strikes and offers it to Omar.

Omar is glad he warmed it for him. Omar questions him about Carla and if they came back together, Fer says no I first, then she on a different flight. Omar asks and in what capacity is she here. Fer says as executive, but Omar says no capacity to you, lover, friend with benefits, etc. and Fer says he won’t tell and gets up to leave. Omar now offers him the seat to make him stay. Fer asks what reason could he use to get in to see Lety. He decides he can ask her about tomorrow’s invitees. Omar tells him he should just leave the gargoyle alone and Fer says her name is Lety. He says he needs to go in and see her to see if she is jealous or not.

Tomas comes in to tell Lety of his little white lies to Aldo. She starts to get mad, and puts back on the sunglasses, but then Aldo shows up with “the gift.” Tomas takes this opportunity to exit stage left. Aldo gets all mushy as he hands Lety the book. He takes her hands and tells her he’s giving her the most special thing, his first book copy. She smiles a silly smile back. At the precise moment, Fer walks in with the folder and apologizes for interrupting but he wanted to ask Lety something, though he now sees she’s occupied. She says yes, Aldo is here to give me a gift, wink wink, and I need to pay attention to him. Fer checks the gift and says well, it’s not food at least. Aldo mutters that it’s of food, at least. Fer says fine he’ll leave so as not to interrupt. He mutters between his teeth that he can’t wait until Aldo dies, and Aldo mutters back through his chiclets that he can’t wait until Fern asphyxiates. They elbow each other.

Fern leaves and Lety asks if something was said. Aldo blows it off as a new form of communication between the two of them. Fer waits outside of the office and hears Lety feeling sorry for Marcia about this new chic. Fer goes back to the joint office and complains to Omar how mad he is and that Lety thinks he’s the lowest scum.

Aldo thinks maybe he’ll come back but Lety wants to open it and she’s very excited and says how important this is for her too, and that she feels privileged to get the first copy. I’m not sure I like the cover. Anyway, Aldo says it’s great, but what’s greater is the dedication inside. She reads it. “So what is the taste of love? With you love tastes like bliss.” Lety is muy impactada and walks around her desk to give him a big slo mo hug.

Julieta & Erasmo are at Casa Padilla. Erasmo is complaining about Aldo. He says he made a circus and a theatre show and everything else to keep me from seeing what he wrote in the book he had. Aldo is going around very mysteriously. Juli laughs and asks if he ever found out. Erasmo tells her she’s just like him.

Back in Lety’s office, Lety gets close to kissing Aldo on the lips when the phone rings. He tells her duty calls, she moves back in close again to try to kiss him, but he essentially just walks out on her. That was weird. She curses the phone saying she’ll disconnect it forever. But first she says it’s not fair to take out her jealousy of Fer on Aldo.

Julieta prays to Saint Jude that her daughter gets together with and will be happy with Aldo. She really likes Aldo for Lety.

Fer is yelling at Omar, he realizes Aldo must be giving her the book about garnachas, and papitas, and botanas. He’s making fun of all these little commoner type simple plain munchies. Omar thinks that must have perturbed him. He makes fun of Omar’s deduction, and O says it’s intuition. O wants to remind him who was supposed to be making whom jealous. Omar gets up and Fer crawls under the desk to get to the seat. Omar tells him that’s called stealing. He wants to know if she was jealous of Carla or not. Fer says of course not, she wasn’t jealous I was the jealous one. He wishes he could just be firm and show her that she doesn’t matter nor does that fryguy Aldo. Omar says you wish that you could fake it or that it is true?

Oscar and Felix go out of the office and run into Aldo. Ok for those of you who don’t think Aldo has ulterior motives or an evil bone in his body, this next scene is for you. When Aldo runs into Fer, Fer greets him and makes fun of his new book, but Aldo instead notes Fer is the same womanizer as ever and asks Fer what Marcia would think about his new conquest. Sorry, but that’s low. He has no business saying anything of the sort. Needless to say, this almost brings Fer to blows and Omar has to intervene. He can be useful occasionally. More words about common food are slung as Omar coerces Fer away. Aldo walks away asking the cuartel to advise him when the meeting starts.

The cuartel descend on Lety’s office. They tell her that PM has left them because Simon did something mean to her. They need PM because of the Secretary’s day dance show and beg Lety to talk to PM. They notice the book. Grubby ingrates, they grab the book and practically rip the cover off to look at it, luckily Irma gets it away and hands it back to Lety but not before it suffers some rumples. Lety tries to smooth them out for the whole rest of their conversation. She agrees she’ll see what she can do.

Fer is screaming with Omar again about Aldo meddling in his private life. Omar tells him it looked as if he was going to punch him. Fer says O understands nothing. O says it’s hard to find the square in the circle. O thinks maybe he came back “pior” from NY which is worse than “peor” (which is worse) and wonders why he doesn’t go away for another month. Fer says if he goes for year, a decade, or a century it’s still worse because what I can’t get rid of is my feelings and I will not forget that Lety and Aldo slept together in that damned cabana for the whole night, one damned night, the whole night!!!!!
