Caray, Caray!

Lety blows off Juli telling her she knows very well what she feels for Aldo, and she starts whispering so Fer can’t hear as easily. He goes back into the cave. Lety tells her ma, now please just go and I’ll see you later at home.

Luigi is at a fashion house talking to one of the designers Clau who appears to be a part of his “club.” He is an associate of Manuel the designer who “created” Aurora. Oh what a small world is telenovelaland. Lui chats about them being the best, and explains who he is and the pres Orni, (aka Lety) and that he has to do a retro fashion project and he is begging to learn more about retro fashion and the gentleman agrees he’ll show him the models and the fashions.

Lety invites the cuartel to her house for a party and a surprise. First they think she might introduce them to the MM, but she says no. They can hardly stand not knowing why and beg her to spill. She won’t until later. They remark she looks content.

Alicia wanders into Tommy’s office and notes a folder with a pay stub lying around. She curses him that he makes so much money as the VP. She decides then she must accept him as long as he will treat her like a queen. She tells him she’ll still marry him, and agrees to meet his mom again but she says she won’t say when. He is happy and says tonight is bad anyway because he already has a commitment. He goes to hug her and she doesn’t hug him back. He begs her to hug him and she says fine, it’s all in the name of your pay stub. He asks what stub? She says nothing.

Omar is looking in the paper for a new apartment for the two of them. Fer is upset and can’t focus on that. He tells him of his eavesdropping that Lety is having a big party and inviting everyone except him and Fer broods that it must be for some important reason. Omar speculates that it must be because she is going to announce her engagement to Aldo. Fer is impactado.

Aldo and his pop are dining. Aldo is worried and nervous because he has behaved badly with Lety. Pop thinks the party will be for a good reason. Aldo confesses he is jealous of how much time Lety spends with Fer, and because they had a relationship. His Pop says that he thought Aldo was so sure of her love, though, and asks if she ever gave him a reason not to trust her. He says he trusts her, but she has been acting very strange lately.

The cuartel is babbling in their area about food and Don Fer sneaks up with an idea. Don Fer starts to fish; he wants to know what the party is about. Sara volunteers to tell him. She pulls him away and says that really they don’t know. They all say they don’t know, he doesn’t believe them because they’ve always known all the gossip in the business and could find out anything. He thinks they’ve lost their cosmic connection. He says they have always told each other everything, and he thinks the silence he hears is ugly. Cru Cru Cru (like a bird I guess.....)

Papa tells Mama he is nervous about the night. Mama calms him that they (the kids) know what they are doing.

Luigi is getting shown the designs. He is so excited he announces he wants to be the new face of the house of fashion, but he is told the designs are for divas. He says he could have been Luigi Gaynor or Marilyn Lombardi. He thinks he should have been around in the 50’s. He sings the famous Monroe version of the birthday song and mocks the whole act. I think Marilyn and Anna Nicole are turning in their graves. When he looks through the model photo album he sees Aurora’s picture, and a light bulb goes off. He wants her for the campaign. The buddy is quite reluctant about using her and tries to reject the idea, but Lui begs and pleads saying she’s perfect.

Lety too, in her room, is nervous, she wonders what Aldo will say.

At Casa Padilla everyone shows up for the aforementioned partee. Everyone is on hot coals wondering what the fuss is for. They all comment that none of them know.

Alicia shows up in peasant garb to Tomas’ and tells Mama they need to talk. Mama isn’t sure she’s interested.

Lety, ignoring the doorbell and presumably not waiting for the pending entrant (something I wouldn’t do if I had invited people over) begins with her grand announcement. “Aldo and I are now officially boyfriend and girlfriend.” Fer walks in, just in time, to hear this, of course, he’s impactado.

He greets everyone. Lety and Aldo want to know why he’s there. Lety proclaims she didn’t invite him. He admits he was not invited and in fact he was told not to show because he would be uncomfortable, and now he understands why, but he’s not going for drama or anything, so he wants only to congratulate them.

Mama T ends up letting Ali in and giving her food. She’s in heaven. Alicia asks if she can call her Mama. She says it depends on what they discuss, just eat. Alicia doesn’t want her to get the wrong idea about her. Ali tells her that destiny hasn’t been good to her, but she is a decent, chaste, church going woman but everyone envies her so she goes around dressed like that, tough and superficial to earn respect from the rest of the people. Mama T says she doesn’t have to be that way, look at her, Mama, as she too is a hard working and good woman but she meets life’s blows head on and she demands the respect of others. Si, Si, Si, they pump their fists in unison. A bonding smile ensues. Ali recovers and says it’s easy for Mama because she is strong, but Ali is weak and fragile. She asks then if she’ll reconsider and allow her to marry her VP, er, son. Mama says that she will, but she has to pass 3 tests first. Yep, they bonded.

Fer begs the Padillas’pardon for showing up uninvited and takes his leave gracefully, but reminds Aldo not to hurt Lety or he’ll have to deal with him. Aldo remembers the warning quite well. Juli feels bad for Don Fer.

Alicia learns the fine domestic art of making bread. Mama T tells her she needs to learn because one day when she dies, Alicia is the one who will have to take over the bakery. Alicia is not sure that she could do that. She is not sure what to think about making the bread, but I think she likes it.

Aldo tells Lety he’s very happy that she did this and Fer didn’t even spoil it. She said she wants to show him how much she loves him in front of everyone. He proposes a toast to the prettiest woman in the world, his girlfriend. Robopop chokes with emotion (oh wait he always sounds like that) and says she made the best choice and he hopes they are happy together.

Aldo papa wants to know when he’ll have grandkids. He forces the issue asking them why they just don’t announce their wedding date already. Lety and Aldo are very impactados!

Fer waits outside of the house and Omar comes up essentially telling him I told you so!! Looks like their roles might be reversing on us here. Fer says I just wanted to congratulate them. Omar says, no, he’s dying of jealousy so he really came because he just wanted to make a scene in front of Lety to make her feel bad. Fer disagrees. Omar says you say that on the outside but inside you are dying. Fer denies it, but Omar pushes it and actually does something sweet saying he knows how he feels and that maybe they need to go because Fer is probably getting a little cold right?


Lety and Aldo say they have many commitments, including Conceptos debt and getting back Aldo’s money, and they have to wait until Lety is successful in her commitment, etc. Fausto toasts to his “kids” and begs for grandkids. Aldo asks Erasmo if he can kiss Lety in front of everyone. Julieta waits for his answer with her breath held. He says yes! They mini kiss. Then mini kiss again. Then when Erasmo is toasting Fausto, he kisses her deeper. She shies away. The cuartel cheer.

Fer writes in his diary: maybe I should not have gone to her house. I might have avoided this pain to my heart. I have to stop being so impulsive but I can’t help it. I feel so bad because today my Lety announced that she is officially Domensain’s girlfriend. Maybe this means there’s no way out, that in effect I should just accept that I’ve lost her forever. I hope that whoever reads these memories is not so heedless as to not learn to accept defeat in good time, and stop hoping for miracles that will never come. Today I am the most frustrated of those in love. Storybook Casanova.

Tomas tastes his love’s bread. He is a bit critical of it until his Mom explains who made it and if he doesn’t like it, she’ll withdraw the pass she gave Ali to see if she will make a good wife. He then explains how much he loves it. He rubs the roll all over him saying it still smells like her perfume. Blech! Stalker....

Lety dreams Robopop is taking a picture of her and Aldo and 7 mini-me Letys. She smiles.

O & F are looking at an apartment. Omar tells them they can’t live here because it doesn’t fit in with their new plan of being woman chaser Casanovas again. Fer says he’s a frustrated Casanova. O not. Fer reminds him of Aurora. O is mad he was reminded. The real estate guy presses them and Fer says where do we sign. Looks like we are going to get some Oscar/ Felix roomie schtick in the future...

Luigi sports some new fashions, the idea for which came from his exposure to the retro period. He makes a jokee, and Irma, she notes he’s very inspired. He shows her the Aurora picture and tells her she’s going to be the image and don't you recognize that it’s the MM everyone is looking for. He says they are intimate pals. Irma asks him to do her a huge favor. She wants him to help her find out who the MM is so they can win the Colunga contest.


Fer and Lety act awkward in Lety’s office. Lety asks Fer to tell her and he cuts her off and begs Lety’s pardon. He explains that he was a fool and he only showed up because he wanted to know what she was going to say. And he’s sorry and he won’t meddle anymore and please forgive him. She says for him not to ask her that and that it was very hard for her to make the decision. He knows and he just wants her pardon. She says he’s him and he’s one of the most important persons in her life. And he shushes her and says he’s resigned and respects her decision and goes to his office.

Alicia’s hands are wrapped in bandages. She very quickly counts money until Tomas makes an appearance, she is then in extreme pain. His Mom made her knead bread for 3 or 4 hours and look at the price she paid! He thanks her and appreciates that she did all this to show that she wants to marry him, a true test of love. Uh, huh.

The cuartel walks in to see Tomas blowing on her hands and they think he is crazy. He says yes for something. He wants to tell them all something. Alicia starts quaking in her corset. He builds the suspense, while she tries to quiet him, then he outs with it! They are getting married!!!!

What a puss on Ali’s face!! She looks possessed. The cuartel loves that. They begin to chant that the Oxi chick is getting married, Oxi-chick is getting married!!


Fer gives Lety a report when Luigi walks in. Luigi goofs that Lety is with her “assistant fool” and he doesn’t want to share his news in front of him. Lety says as assistant he can hear everything. Fer tells Lui to take that! Lui says fine and explains that he has found the image for his new campaign, but he wants to reveal it to everyone at the same time and asks if that is ok with them. Is it clear? Lui says in English, and Fer tells him, thanks, they both speak English. They agree.

Fer and Omar are making fun of Luigi and his pending grandstanding, and Omar says well let’s at least see what he’s got. So, now let me think of my Aurora. Fer chastises him and said let’s make a pact I won’t talk about Lety if you don’t about Aurora.

Businessmen show up for a meeting with Lety. Alici yells at Tommy about her hands. He says look if you are ashamed to marry me then lets just…she cuts him off, nope! You are going to marry me no matter what now! They return to their kissy poo behavior. She asks him for money and he gives her everything in his wallet. Ugh, he better get some good booty for this.

At the meeting, Lety expresses her appreciation that the PR folks are here. They compliment Fer as a great salesman. They ask Caro to show them finally the grand image. Caro says ok, and she hits a remote and says this is the face Luigi wants for the campaign. A slide flashes up on the screen and it is none other than Aurora!! Omar notes it and Lety’s eye just goes bonkers, and cut!!!!!
