Caray, Caray!

Today’s Fea re-cap: Jacks schemes, Aldo screams, Alicia lies, Fernando cries

Just kidding!

We start with Jacks winking at us. Wait, never mind. He just has a really weird set of eyes.

Sexy Celso plays some games on the receptionist’s computer. Alicia “walks” off the elevator and gives her best classic telenovela performance. Alicia asks Celso what’s going on with her three times before he pays attention. She doesn’t understand why destiny has given her so many tests. Her sadness is killing her. Celso volunteers to help. He can go get her an aspirin. Alicia asks him if he’s really willing to help. Being the gentleman that he is, Celso tells her that of course he will.

In the boardroom of boredom (I still cringe when I think of Lety’s pirate outfit and the thirty odd some days we had to watch conferences from the same day occur in that same boardroom!), the executives and Jacks talk about Aurora’s mysterious disappearance. Omar wonders what they should do if she never reappears, but this moment Jacks just wants to exploit the current situation. He asks to remain informed. The execs agree.

Once Jacks leaves, the board discuss Jacks interest in promoting the program. Fernando is sure that Aurora will reappear at some random moment. Queue the dramatic music and the make-out scene on TV. Fernando is i-m-p-a-c-t-a-d-o! Marcia asks where the station got that video. The entire board is shocked about the video showing on TV. That is, everyone except Luigi. He’s more concerned about getting home and watching the new telenovela, Destilando Amor. Fernando catches Luigi before he can leave. Fernando accuses Luigi of releasing the tape. Luigi squirms and squeals in protest. It doesn’t take much force. Luigi admits to releasing the tape, but he accuses Jacks of torturing, hitting and putting him in a bad situation. Luigi didn’t want to, but Jacks almost killed him. Fernando pulls Luigi to him and consoles him.

Alicia tells Celso to forget about helping her. She turns to walk away but Celso stops her. He asks her to permit him to help her. She turns back to him and asks if he’s prepared to lie for a noble cause. It’s a matter of life and death. Alicia has to convince him that it’s just a little lie. It’s so that she and her Tomas can have a beloved baby. Celso agrees.

Lety proudly reads the newspaper. It says that Aurora disappeared and will not reappear. She is dead and buried. Aldo enters. They chat for a minute. Fernando sits in his office and does a great impression of the conversation between Lety and Aldo. Aldo announces to Lety that he found a yacht for their wedding. Lety excitedly hugs Aldo. Fernando scooches to the door. Aldo reminds Lety about when they ate lobster. This pushes Fernando (and many viewers I’m sure) over the limit. He quickly exits his office. He comes into Lety’s office stomping away and complaining. He thinks that the happy couple should be focusing less on the wedding and more on the disappearance of Aurora. Aldo flips out; his face becomes the color of his shirt. Aldo yells that his that his wedding is more interesting and then he takes out his aggression on the newspaper. Fernando says that he has two words for Aldo. (Control de ira) “Rage Control.” Aldo’s face gets redder as he says that those are three words. Fernando points out that in English it’s only two. Cover your eyes, there’s more newspaper abuse. Hey, something has to get beat up in every novela! Fernando points out that Aurora is important because with her help Conceptos will be returned to its original owners and Aldo will be free. Aldo agrees. The business has always interested Fernando and Aldo has always been most interested in love. Ah! Aldo’s a fake nice person! Aldo claims his prize and puts his arm around Lety. He says that his wedding is the most important thing and that nobody or nothing will interfere. Lety and Fernando look confused. Aldo turns Lety toward him and asks if she still wants to have the wedding. She nervously agrees. Seriously, this guy is a control freak in disguise (and in a really bright sweater)! Fernando shakes his fist at Aldo.

Fernando puts the newspaper in between Lety’s and Aldo’s faces. She pulls away and says that both Aurora and the wedding are important. They men burst into an argument over which is more important. Aldo calls Fernando’s show cheesy. Fernando calls Aldo the father of cheesy. Ha! That’s a great description! Fernando says that all weddings are the same. The only thing that changes is the cast. Fernando makes funny of how stuffy a yacht is. Aldo repeatedly repeats that Fernando is jealous. Lety finally stops the insanity. She orders Fernando to his office. Fernando reluctantly leaves. Once Fernando’s in his office, Aldo won’t stop complaining and Lety looks a little unsure.

Fernando sits in his office and at first murmurs to himself about the yacht, but his attention is quickly diverted to the kiss with Aurora. He doesn’t understand why it affected him so much. He sighs and looks at the newspaper. He sees Lety on the front page accuses him of deceiving her. He promised never to love another woman! Fernando assures the picture that Lety is the only woman for him. The picture says that she’s marrying Aldo because of Fernando’s lies. Fernando tells the picture that she is the woman that he will always love. The picture turns back into Aurora. Fernando thinks he’s going crazy, talking to a picture.

Martha sits at her desk and also talks to an inanimate object. She asks her sheep coin bank which she should eat first, her flat cake or her hot dog. Martha goes for the flat cake. The cuartel watches, but Martha can’t finish the first bite. The cuartel rushes to their non-digesting friend. The encourage her to get help. Martha promises but first she needs to go to the bathroom.

Tomas confirms to someone on the phone that he is Tomas Mora, the husband of Alicia Ferreira de Mora. It’s Celso on the line pretending to be Doctor Celso Kama sutra, Alicia’s gynecologist. Celso and Tomas start to talk about getting together to talk, but Alicia stops the conversation with a pinch. Celso yelps. He explains his reaction to Tomas by saying he was bit by a vapor in Africa, because that’s where he is. Tomas says that Alicia’s treatment can wait until the doctor returns. Celso says that’s no good, Alicia needs immediate treatment, it’s a matter of life or death. Celso says that this treatment is essential for Alicia and Tomas to be happy.

Once the men hang up, Celso asks Alicia if she liked his performance. Alicia asks Celso where he got the name Celso Kama sutra. Celso says that his mom gave him the name Celso and Kama Sutra because he saw a magazine. Luckily, Alicia interrupts him.

Martha’s back in the vortex and she’s after a chocolate bar. She catches herself and has the cuartel take it away before she can eat it. The cuartel to take Martha back to her meeting. The elevator opens and a group of reporters enters the vortex. The reporters ask for Fernando Mendiola. They want to interview him about Aurora’s disappearance.

Aldo tells Lety that he thinks there is something between Fernando and Aurora. Lety effusively insists that there is nothing between those two. Fernando scoots to the door. Aldo doesn’t think Fernando would miss this opportunity for a conquest. Lety wonders why no one will believe that Fernando has changed. Aldo accuses her of defending Fernando. Lety says it’s not that. She positive there’s nothing between Fernando and Aurora. Aldo asks Lety how she can be so sure. Fernando exits his office and asks the same question. The men quibble, but end up looking to Lety for an answer. Fernando says that the only people who know what’s going on between him and Aurora are him and Aurora, unless Lety was spying on them. Aldo agrees completely with Fernando. The reporters charge in and ask Fernando about Aurora disappearance. Fernando pulls a Lindsay Lohan and flips out at the press. One reporter points out that Aurora disappeared right after the kiss. Another reporter wants to know if there was a romance between Fernando and Aurora. Fernando, not so fluently, tries to say that there was not. The press is making something out of nothing. He mistakenly says that the kiss was real, and then tries to correct himself by saying it was a part of the show. The press has heard what it needs. They only heard that the kiss was real. One man talks to the camera and confirms that there was a romance between Fernando and Aurora. Lety passes out in her chair. The reporters says that Lety must be pregnant. Fernando rounds the desk and throws the men out of the office.

Aldo tends to Lety and talks to Fernando about what just happened. Aldo thinks that Aurora was a good lesson for Fernando. Huh? He thinks that Fernando should invite Aurora to the wedding. Lety half passes out again. Aldo realizes he’s late and excuses himself to go see Carmina. Fernando asks Aldo about who is Carmina. Aldo doesn’t explain who she is and tells Lety that he’ll see her later. Fernando turns to Lety and tries to assure Lety that the kiss wasn’t real. Lety doesn’t want to hear it. He doesn’t understand why nobody believes him. Lety assures Fernando that she believes his word. Out come all of Fernando’s teeth.

At Retro Mode, Jacks and his lackey watch a Televisa program. The announcers says that Fernando confirmed the romance. The men congratulate themselves. Jacks says he forgot the most important thing. If Aurora reappears it will ruin everything. He picks up his phone to call her.

Lety answers the cell phone. Jacks asks Aurora not to reappear or go out. She wants to know why. As we so well know, whenever something private is being said in the president’s office, the cave’s walls become magically un-soundproofed. Fernando wonders why he hears Aurora’s voice. Lety continues to talk to Jacks, pretending not to understand. Fernando enters her office and starts to look around for Aurora. He asks Lety for Aurora. Lety holds the phone away from her and says that Aurora is not there. Jacks overhears Lety’s voice and asks Aurora if she’s with Lety. Fernando says that he clearly heard Aurora. Jacks asks Aurora to answer him. Lety tells Fernando that he must be hallucinating. Fernando asks Lety if she feels okay. She says yes. He goes back to his office. Lety returns to talking to Jacks. She says that she perfectly understands and then hangs up the phone. Lety gives a cheer of joy.

Alicia walks into Tomas office. He rushes to her and helps her sit. Tomas tells Alicia that he’s worried about her. He explains the conversation he had earlier with her doctor. Alicia says that her only hope is to have a family with him. Tomas runs over to his desk and presents her with a check for the treatment. Alicia tells Tomas that he makes her happy. She says she will go change and then rush to her treatment. She rushes to the door, but Tomas tells her not to run to much. You know, for the baby’s sake. Alicia slowly exits the office.

Marcia’s now in Lety’s office and she’s assuring Fernando that Aurora will reappear. Fernando thinks something that something bad happened. Lety doesn’t think so. She thinks that Aurora is in total control. Marcia wants to know what’s up with Fernando. He says that it’s nothing and leaves for his office. Marcia and Lety stare at each other for a moment and then Marcia excuses herself. Once Marcia leaves, Lety has a “moment.”

Alicia goes to Marcia’s office, but Marcia isn’t there. When Alicia turns to leave, Marcia appears. Alicia asks to borrow Marcia’s computer. Alicia wants to look for a happiness treatment. Marcia says that she doesn’t understand, but she lets Alicia use the computer anyway. Alicia explains that she wants to look at cars because Tomas promised to buy her a new car. Marcia congratulates Alicia. Alicia insults Marcia by saying that this is what it’s like for married women, unlike abandoned women with no place to live. Alicia tries to make it clear that she’s not talking about Marcia. Marcia shakes her head in disgust.

Lola and the cuartel talk some more about Martha’s problems. They try to come up with an idea to get Martha to go to and stay at the meeting. It’s Sara who comes up with an idea, but she doesn’t reveal it just yet.

Suddenly remembering the non-soundproofness of the cave, Lety leads Caro into the boardroom. Lety happily explains to Caro that Jacks doesn’t want Aurora to reappear until he says so. Caro points out that Aurora will have to show up at some point in order to film the rest of the show. Lety says she has a solution for that. Lety thinks that if the show is a hit, then Jacks will let the show go on with another actress. Lety proclaims Aurora dead. She will never revive! Caro says she hopes so and excuses herself. Lety looks awfully proud of her awful plan.

The phone rings. It’s Cristina Maiz, the president of The System for the Families’ Integral Development (DIF Nuevo Leon). DIF Nuevo Leon is a program, mostly aimed at youth, that helps families get back on their feet and be self sufficient. For more information: http://www.dif.gob.mx/ She wants to have a video conference. Fernando rushes to the boardroom to get the equipment to have the conference.

Luckily, a computer we’ve never seen before sits in the boardroom, prepared for the video conference. Fernando tells Lety that they’re going to have a video conference. He asks her to call Luigi. Fernando has Lety help him set up the conference. The phone rings and Cristina Maiz de Gonzalez appears on the TV screen. Luigi enters and demands to know what was so important to take him from a meeting. He sees Cristina Maiz on the screen. Mrs. Maiz explains that this month they will be celebrating the thirtieth anniversary of DIF Nuevo Leon. The will also be celebrating El Dia de la Familia. http://www.diadelafamilia.com.mx/home.php She wants Conceptos to do the campaign. Fernando and Lety assure her that Conceptos can do the campaign. Luigi affirms that it will be a grand spectacle. Mrs. Maiz asks if she can make the announcement that Conceptos will be doing the campaign. Fernando says that she can announce it. Mrs. Maiz asks for Luigi personally to direct the spectacle. The two groups confirm that Conceptos will do the campaign. Mrs. Maiz says they will finalize the details later. Once Mrs. Maiz is gone, Fernando and Lety hug each other in congratulations. Luigi is left alone to start the campaign. He thinks to himself how family is the foundation of society. He starts to cry, but calms himself and rushes off to work.

The cuartel takes Martha back to her Compulsive Eaters meeting. Irmita explains to Martha that she, Irmita, spoke with the meeting leader. He told her that only Martha could accept to get help, and that the cuartel should not pressure her. Then she may be cured. Ladies, I have something to admit right now. I have a disease as well. Hello, my name is Amanda. I am a Camil-aholic.

Omar rushes to Caro who is at her door. Omar says that he has something important to tell her; he’s changed. Caro tries to interrupt. Omar says that he understands. No one believes him and he really does have a lot to learn. Omar pulls something out of his pocket and drops it. He hands it to Caro and tells her that he bought it for her. He excuses himself for not being the person she deserves. Omar kisses Caro’s cheek and scurries away. Caro opens the box to see a pearl necklace.

Fernando’s still in his cave, wondering what’s happening to him. He can’t get Aurora out of his head. Fernando pulls out the ugly Lety picture and places it next to the Aurora picture. He talks to both pictures. Fernando swears that he loves Lety. He asks Lety for a pardon.

The real Lety overhears Fernando and walks over to his door. She knocks and enters. She asks if he’s felling okay. Fernando says he’s sorry, he loves her. He thought that he would never love another woman. No he can’t stop thinking about Aurora. He asks again for Lety’s forgiveness. She tries to interrupt. He asks her to leave.

Lety stands in her office and says that she can’t allow Fernando to suffer like that. She reaches for her make-up kit. She has to tell Fernando that she and Aurora are the same person. Lety takes off her ugly make-up and asks Fernando to come to her. She wants to tell him the whole truth. Fernando exits his office and looks at her. The episode ends with a tear going down Fernando’s face.

For tomorrow: Uh-oh, will Fernando find out Lety's secret? Will Aldo follow Julieta's plea to leave Lety alone?
