La Fea Más Bella #261 4/25/07 A proposal, a pizza suit, a he-she and a he, he, he
Lety stomps past the cuartel. The cuartel talk to Omar. He flatters them as queens of gossip and masters of intrigue. They are about to tell him a secret, what Caro told them. They give him the address and the time that he can “run” into Aurora.
Old man from the sea rescues Lety in her office from her horrible deed of stabbing Fer’s heart. She thanks him for coming and hugs him. She said she’s very sad, and he says he knows it will take a while to get over him. She says that she has to, and he tells her she’ll have all his love to do it with so don’t worry. She asks if it will bother him that Fer is her assistant. Like the proper control freak he is, he says yes, but he qualifies it, that having Fer near isn’t going to help her get on with things. I’m thinking maybe it will help. Maybe it will help her fall back in love with him like she’s supposed to. She says she can’t kick him out though as he still needs his family's trust restored in him and she needs to separate the work stuff from the love. She tells Aldo she can handle anything with him around. Darn it Lety!! You should be able to handle anything. Period. No Aldo or anyone else needed!!!!
Caro goes to see her old friend Luigi. He resents being called old. She asks him if he would help her play a trick on Omar. He agrees delightedly.
Aldo & Lety are still talking and Aldo thinks they should start thinking about the future. She figures he’s not talking about the business. He says he is, but he isn’t, because she knows he doesn’t want to keep Conceptos and it’s only going to be a brief part of his life. She remembers of course that his life is the sea, and his own restaurant. She promises she will do everything she can to get him back his money so he can fulfill it. He says our money. How sweet. Baby talk and babble ensue. He offers to cook her dinner.
Omar is telling himself Aurora won’t escape him. Fer comes in screaming and says that he’s done lamenting. He can’t let Lety get away and he's going to do something. Omar is traumatized by his sudden screeching entrance. They mock the saying "voy a ponerme in Shock" a political slogan from a campaign in 1973.
Fer is mad; he is looking for someone to release his fury upon and Omar is just sitting right there there on a silver platter for him. He asks if O will lend him his face. Omar likes this idea of the old bully of Conceptos coming back and reminds Fer of the qualities of his former self. Fer says what he needs to do is pay off the debt and get rid of Also once and for all. Omar wonders how he would get all that money. We can see dim light bulbs going off in Fer's head.
Tommi seeks more advice from Aldo. He tells him he wants to propose. A asks T if he is sure about it. He says the surest. Aldo tells him if he is talking to a man that is completely sure of what he wants then advice is worthless. He wishes him luck and congratulations him. Tomas isn’t sure if Aldo agreed with his plan or not.
In a random park the cuartel and Caro are hiding behind some trees. Omar shows up looking for Aurora. He sees her silhouette in the distance. He is blindly filled with anticipation of lust. He approaches her. He sweet talks her and puckers up. Aurora turns around and it’s Luigi!!!! He says it's about time Omar wanted this and he tries to kiss him back. They dance around while the cuartel and Caro laugh. Luigi wants more kisses!
Fer writes in his diary. He reflects that Lety gets relief from hers, so maybe it will work if he writes too. He starts: Today something awful happened. AD took away the love of my life. I handed her to him on a silver platter. I'm very stupid. I didn't think it would happen to me. Really, it shouldn't happen to anyone. I should tell the world about this so that nobody makes the same mistakes that I did.
Caro is telling Lety about the Trampa. She laughs hysterically. I guess Fer is out of her mind. She definitely was more worried about Aldo when he found out about her and Fer. Oh well. She says now she’ll never be Aurora the justice seeker again. Caro tries to convince her that Aurora is her, that she is that beauty and she should let herself be beautiful. She says no, I’m Lety the Fea and that’s how I like it and that’s how I’m going to stay.
Fer continues that he should write a book for this purpose, to tell everyone. A book about the memories of a Don Juan Region 4, Pirate. What should the title be? The flavor of sadness. Ha Ha
Lola watches a commercial while retrieving a tape for someone and realizes that the mysteriosa lives in Lety’s area!
Caro is telling Omar he deserved the joke because he bugged her first. She tells him to accept that MM (Mujer Misteriosa, aka, Aurora, aka Lety la Fea) doesn’t want to see him anymore. He can't understand why someone wouldn't want to enjoy his fine specimen. She leaves his office in a huff after telling him he needs to change his habits of conquest, she doesn’t want to discuss the subject anymore, and perhaps it’s necessary that she doesn’t see him anymore. Just then Fer comes in and wonders what did you do to Caro, she’s an angry woman? They jest a bit, then Fer tells him there is going to be a committee meeting at the house
Tomas buys the ring and believes Ali will love it.
Lety is looking for someone during which time Lola runs up saying she knows who MM is. Lety is impactada and covers by wanting to know who. Sara is suspicious of her interest in the gossip. PM surmises it's because she already knows this woman lives near her. Lety says she's seen her but doesn't know who she is. The cuartel get frustrated with her.
Martha’s husband brings Tomi up with a bunch of flowers in his taxi. He goes in. In the meantime, Celso and Gordo Lobo discuss buying houses because Tomas could do it and Lobo decides he's going to buy his wife a house because it's maybe possible for him to financed too then.
The cuartel is talking again about MM and Sara begins putting two and two together, that if the woman lives near Lety, and is a friend of Caro then maybe Lety is Aurora!! Hey wait a minute. Juana is supposed to be our closet genius with the prophetic clues. What happened?
Anyway Sara figures it out. Everyone laughs in certain disbelief. Omar says there is no way his lover could be Lety. There is nothing alike about them. PM questions that they are really together. He says yes we are lovers. Lety comes up behind him and laughs that he really presumes they are lovers. She says we women have plenty in common and maybe there's even a little of me in your Aurora. She walks away, but listens through her door crack. Omar rejects that idea and says his love is elegant and beautiful and the gargolita is a monster and is fea, fea, fea. To this Aldo walks up. Uh oh.
Waldo can’t decide if he’s going skiing or wandering inside an office. Sorry but that’s a little long and striped to be a Valentino. He wants to speak to Omar alone in his office. Aldo tells him he will never call Lety ugly again, and what’s more, he will apologize publicly. To this Omar protests and calls Aldo crazy until Aldo gets in his face and requires it. He then tells him to get the heck out of his office. Twice.
The journalists ponder Aurora’s picture.
Tomas calls Ali into his office, He comes out from the tree of roses and pops the question holding up the ring. Ali gets plenty wide eyed at the ring.
Fer calls a meeting at home and the whole family shows up. Even long lost Ana Leticia. She thinks it's ok if he wants to get some surgeries, as no one really knows what he wanted and they all speculate about his reasons for calling them together. He tells them he wants to pay the debt as soon as possible and to do that he’s going to sell all of his belongings. The “family” is impactada.
Lety is mad at what Omar said. She wishes she could get back at him somehow, she decides she will serve justice again as she draws more on her eyebrows.
Back at Casa Mendoroel, Ariel tells Fer that he ruined the business so he’s got to fix it. On his own. They fight like usual. Humb says they won't get anywhere like that.
Fer knows this decision will leave him out in the cold, but he has to do it. While they are discussing this, Bozo seems to be trying to figure out what all the belongings are.
Omar says even if they sell everything it’s not going to pay it all, Fer says he knows, but at least it will reduce the amount owed quite a bit.
AL worries about selling her house. Fer says well if you want to support me it’s ok, you don’t have to sell your house. You have to sell your house, your car, your jewelry and more. She asks if she even has to sell her implants! He says, well, if you can get them out and sell them then sure that would be great! In fact, we could sell them by the liter because we'd probably make more money that way.
Fer says he knows doing all this is a risk, but it's something that will help them all.
Somehow Ali turns up at her desk again. Tomi wants to know what her answer is. She whispers something to him. He is impactada and tells her he didn’t say those bad things. She continues by telling him she could never live the sensible life with him. He counters that he is at least a self made man and has worked hard for everything he has. She tells him it’s not enough. He asks her one last time and she shouts NO!!!
Tomas loses it. He puts his hands down into Martha’s pizza and picks it up and brings it to his chest in agony. He writhes in emotional pain clutching the pizza. To this Martha loses it too. Her lunch is being destroyed. They are all wailing away. PM tries to contain Martha. Finally Tomas rubs the pizza all over him. Must be some sort of Mexican pity ritual I’m just not familiar with. Does this make you undetected by the misery gods or something? Anyway….
Lety is in her office practicing her Aurora walk. Just then her phone rings. She answers in Her deep Aurora voice. It’s Waldo and he wants to know why she answers this way. A couple more mi amor’s and he tells her he wanted to meet her but he’s got to work really late. She is not upset. He asks if she is ok about Omar’s comments and she says fine. He tells her no one will dis' her ever again.
Humb is not really interested in doing away with his comforts and tries to come up with a reason not to make the decision. Bozo backs him because I’m sure she’ll be damned to have to give up her wig collection. Fer says he knows this makes them nervous and says that he might even have to come back to live with them, which he knows Bozo would like, but he not as much. Ari says he won’t sell anything. He and AL leave after Fer loses composure about their lack of support.
Luigi and Caro rehash the joke. He says how funny it was to see Omar in that state. He wants to know who the friend is. Caro won’t tell him no matter what. He says he would be more upset if it was a male friend rather than a female friend. Luigi wants to do another prank.
Omar tells Fer that his idea is not so good. Besides, he really has nothing other than his little apartment and that really won't help to sell. Fer still insists he needs to do this to save the business. They joke that Omar does everything he tells him, even take a seat when he asked. Omar gets a call on his cell phone. It's someone trying to arrange a meeting for him with Aurora. He takes the phone number on his tie to call back because he's not sure if he should go. Fer is surprised because he was so loco for her, but O says it's a message from an unknown person so he needs to watch out. While they are talking, Mar walks up and they cover.
Tomas is consoled by the cuartel for his rejection. Lety comes out. He doesn’t want her to know. He makes the cuartel follow his lead to hide his pain. PM gives him his jacket. He leaves complaining his coat smells like Pizza. Lety wants to know what's up but realizes she has to get going. Ali comes up and the cuartel tell her she should have some pity on the man she destroyed. She tells the cockroaches to get out of her way because she forgot her bug spray today.
Fer is on the couch talking with Mar and he is surprised and pleased that she is willing to help him. She says well she's been thinking this whole time that there’s just some things that are more important, and one of those is that I care for you.
And we are back where we started.
Labels: fea
I hate the way Aldo manhandles people, shoving them around, etc. I couldn't imagine Humb doing anything like that.
So, it looks like Fern and Marcia again?
She will once again come to the rescue and he will go to her out of gratitude?
Perhaps the wedding dress teaser at the beginning is coming true?
I give up! Ok Lety, choose either Waldo or Omar.
Fern you go back to Marcia and Marcia this time lock him in a closet so he won't run away again!
I was confused by the commercial chop when Tomas showed Alicia the ring. I wonder if she didn't like it or just didn't like him?
Whatever happened to the house or apartment he bought her?
Carrie L.
I really have to keep a barf bag near by for the LEty/Aldo scenes. :)
I've had a couple of really busy evenings so I haven't been paying super close attention to the smaller details of the show but I believe that Lety "glued" the braces onto a clear retainer. If ya'll will remember, Lety grabbed the braces off the tray when she was at her ortho appointment. Amazingly the braces were removed in one long strip. Huh, I don't remember it happening quite like that when I had mine removed. Of course I don't live my life in a telenovela either so that might have something to do with that. :-)
If anyone else knows for sure what's going on with Lety's braces, please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

of course she hasn't done the final step and boinked someone as Aurora and she won't cause that would ruin the show...but in a normal TeleNovela, the next step is conversations in the mirror...smashed glass and vowing to destroy everyone...or maybe a serotonin uptake drug would help...like Wellbutrin XL "lower risks of sexual side-effects", maybe she'd be happier and less incline to fall in love and jump the boss...Lower risk after all...
Jest sayin....
Better living thru pharmaceuticals
Like the previous comment, it also bothered me a lot how Aldo was manhandling Omar. He abuses his power. I don't remember Fernando using his power to push other people around. Of course, I started this telenovella late so maybe I don't remember. Aldo just seems to have a really ugly side to people he deems his opponents. To everyone else he is Mr. Perfect, but, just as Caro points out to Lety that Aurora is really her, this dark side is a part of Aldo and it's really ugly.
I'm really hating the babytalk - I actually broke up with someone once because (among other things) I was so turned off by his babytalk. Blech.
"We can see dim light bulbs going off in Fer's head." - LOL, that's why most of the time I'd rather just read the recap these days. :) As for the remark about Bozo having to give up her wig collection, I'm adding it to my own list of quotable recap lines. :)
And lastly, the reason Wellbutrin XL doesn't have "sexual side effects" is because it DOESN'T do
anything (or doesn't do much) with serotonin. It mostly works on norepinephrine and dopamine. (Just in case it comes up as a question on "Jeopardy," or something.)
I like the idea of a Dr. Phil House, though. By day he can talk her to death, and then at night he can give her a spinal tap just to be mean. :)
Omar's a jerk. His heart needs to get broken if that's the only way to make him human.
Yay for Fernando not giving up on Lety, although seeing her last night with Aldo had me wishing Fer would forget her. Pero, when she and Fer have another scene together where there are some sparks, or longing on her part, I'll be rooting for her again.
Great recap, K! Gracias.
Beckster, you are right about Lety showing multiple personalities. She needs to integrate them by whatever means necessary.
This is turning into tnvla tragedy--the tnvla that had the chance to be truly great, but missed by excessive tinkering on the part of the producer. The only characters that continue to hold my interest are Fern, Alicia, and Celso. I'm very tired of the rest.
As for poor Tomas, here's a quarter pal, buy a clue. He's no better than Omar in that this woman treats him like garbage, but because she's "beautiful" he takes it. Move on dude or you deserve what you get.
k
I too would like to vote for trying to keep the really bad words (in my opinion) out.
I know not everyone one would agree with me but you can hear that stuff everywhere. I'm glad we don't have to listen to it here!

Bravo to Sara for putting two and two together.
I'm glad Fern didn't turn into a sniveling shell of a man after the big dump. He's got a plan...even if we've already seen Aldo and Tomas do it first. I like the idea of the book though. On a side note: Jamie Fox had a movie like that. He got dumped and wrote a bestseller about how to dump your partner.
Carrie L.
Actually Aldo is not the only person who has called Omar on his remarks. Fern does it consistently and in fact that was what caused the big punch out between them.
Aldo is a self appointed bully. He cloakes it all under protecting Lety but it reveals the ugly controlling side of his personality. Lety is a grown woman, supposedly, and should be standing up for herself and calling Omar on his remarks. But, in her typical gutless fashion she let's Aldo do it for her as she previously let Fern and before that Robopo. Adding in her new propensity for baby talk and she is easily the most unattractive (and not just physically) heroine in a novela that I have ever seen and I've seen the usual crop of dumb whiners and clueless idiots for years.
That final scene with Marcia and fern had me screaming Oh s**t here we go again at the screne. Let's all hope that Fern doesn't fall into that trap again, because if he does I'll be so gone.
The Luigi/Omar routine was cruel but hilarious. Even after all that and Caro telling him Aurora wants nothing to do with him he remains persistent but gee did he have to fall into the we are lovers lie. I guess a lot of his self esteem is centered on his reputation as a lover. The look on his faces when he discovers who Aurora really is will be something to see. And based on the flimsiest of evidence Sara figures out who Aurora is? Oh Puleeze -this from the group of idiots who never saw the Fern/Lety love affair going on under their noses and who thought Maricia and Fern were divinely happened. Obviously as the end draws near and a new director at the helm, space aliens have infiltrated the show and taken over some of the characters. And since I'm still watching probably me as well.

I still say good for Aldo and I'm glad Omar finally got told off.
Kim P.
Aldo may have told Omar off but that is all he did. He told him to appoplgize to Lety in public but didn't make him do it. Omar has tamed some of his remarks about Lety but I think he is a lost cause. People get so used to what he says they don't pay any attention. He will get his comeupance soon and then we'll see if it makes him grow up.
Aldo on the other hand is headed down a slippery slope if he thinks he has beaten Fern and secured the flighty, unstable Lety for himself. In the end the only one of these characters I see sobbing into their tequilla are Aldo and Marcia, he at the beach and she in some snooty club.
Aldo doesn't encourage her to stick up for herself - he doesn't even give her a chance to. He just does it on her behalf. I'm surprised he doesn't try to pick out her clothes for her, too.

Conceptos hiring? Wait, never mind, I could never “work” with the cuartel.

You and i and a few others really find Aldo's actions offensive since he continues to treat Lety like a baby who can't stand up for herself. It's been said before she should defend herslef. Considering how ghastly she has been dressing lately maybe he is picking out her clothes. I married an Aldo, all charm and control and believe me if he ends up with Lety it will only be a matter of time before he does choose her clothes, her friends, what she eats, what she reads, what music she listens to, how she thinks.
Creeps me out if I dare think of them sleeping together remembering how Fern commented on how hot she was. Aldo won't like that.;-)
k
But when Lety wrote in her diary that night, it was clear that she thought he meant it the way she wanted him to mean it.
I was doing the recaps without captions at that point, but I do remember that scene and some of the conversations we had about it over the next few days.
Any wackoness is due to the writing and whoever approves the script....likely the producer. Usually the director is stuck with trying to make it all believable. Not fun with a script like this I can imagine!!!

Marie from Mass., if you drink drain cleaner at every "Mi amor", you'll be dead long before the end of the show. Better change drinks.
Angel, "shell-obsessed psycho" was funny. He's covering up with that carefree charm, but maybe...
Neither Fern nor Aldo have seen Aurora in the flesh, have they? Only in photos and in Lety's dream. Of course, Lety just refused to own Aurora as part of herself. Both have had deep conversations and shared intense feelings with Lety, but only Fern has actual sexual experience with her.
In terms of Aldo controlling Lety, she's an emotionally safe partner for him. He loves her girlish charm, but that also makes her inferior in terms of knowledge, of life experience. He can always be the teacher and leader, always keep her on a luxuriant leash, so she can't turn away from him like his first wife. OK, I'm getting too carried away with this. I'm trying to avoid some annoying stuff at work, but time to get back to that.
Ruth
As we've seen from his behavior towards PM and Alicia, once he sleeps with a woman he nunca jamas flirts with her again. Therefore, I doubt Caro has ever allowed him to touch her.
Well Omar getting PUNKED..*Lol*
“Old man from the sea rescues Lety in her office” ROTFL! Yes, indeed, and I had a picture of him in the Daisy Dukes. Ew. The guy is fifteen years younger than me, at least, and he hits me as an old man, too. Geez. At least he admitted it bothers him that Fern is the assistant. You are so right she should be able to handle everything, she’s the Prez. It’s her job to handle everything! Without Aldo, or Fern, or Mamacita, or anyone. (Still, trust me when I say it’s nice to have someone to listen now and then when one is the CEO-type. I’m just sayin’).
Caro’s and Luigi’s prank on Omar was really nifty. When is Omar going to quit acting like heaven’s gift to women? When is he going to quit being so arrogant about Lety being a gargoyle, etc.? That is just disgusting! I am glad Lety is laughing it off now. Caro is right, Lety IS Aurora. No one else created that persona, despite how others made her over. The implementation is pure Lety.
Lety is gonna be busted for sure before long now that the cuartel has the notion that Aurora lives near Lety. They’ll gang up and take turns manning the watch, all night if they need to, in order to meet Fernando Colunga. (Now that I’ve seen part of Alborada, I’d join ‘em!)

Apparently the taping is happening on May 23rd. Here's the link to Jaime Camil's website where its mentioned:

Unfortunately it would take a miracle for me to be able to pull this trip together for myself but I wanted to pass the news along in case anyone else was still thinking about it.

Ahh the warm tinglyness!!!! Ice cream is just cold.....smooth, but still just cold. :)
Diane
I also wondered about her hearing when Aurora was in the restaurant. Obviously Lety's spy skills listening at keyholes for months improved her hearing to rival a bat - appropriate I guess since her office is in what is now known as the bat cave.
That was priceless.
Teresa
Marica did something weird at the end of the show! I think she actually...smiled! Nah, I'm putting my money on a gas bubble.

Lauren
The writers of this telenovela have gone beyond simply insulting the viewers intelligence and arrived at the point of suggesting to our children that you can lie, cheat and live a double life, as long as, its all in the name of love…give me a break!!!
Now our little lying slut is everyone favorite and the most intelligent and pure sole on the planet…this telenovela depicts exactly what is wrong with today’s society – which is very sad!
We as viewers need to voice our opinions via this blog and articulate that we want stories that are entertaining, and that have some sort of moral values for our kids and not this TRASH that has infested out airwaves for months.
It unfortunate that this young actress committed herself to a role as asinine as this, and in my opinion, any production that she is part of from here on out is off-limits in our household.
Please tell me when this trash is going to end……
