La Fea Más Bella #286 5/30/07 Lety reveals to blinded eyes, Alicia gets a "treatment", and mama meddles as the house of cards begins to tumble
Thank heavens the original entrada is back!!!
Lety calls Fer to come out, and he does. Will he finally see her sans unibrow? NO he ends up shading his eyes and telling her he just can’t look right now. She keeps calling him as he walks out the door. Lety tells herself she can’t believe what she was just about to do. She asks if she is crazy, no one can know that she is really Aurora.
Martha agrees to go in to the Compulsive Eaters meeting but only if they all go with her. They tell her yes, but Irma says no she has to face this alone and inside are many other people with the same problem that she has and they will help her.
Back in Lety’s office she just finishes putting back on her Letyness and pops up from hiding her make up kit, when Aldo comes in asking if she is coming with him. He says he was going to go meet Carmaniac. Lety makes a snide comment about Carrrrrmaniac. He remarks how jealous she is. He tells her he doesn’t want misunderstandings and wants Lety to go with him. He tells her that it’s to talk about their wedding. Lety wants to know what Carmaniac has to do with it. Turns out her Dad is lending his yacht for the ceremony. Lety tells him she is tired and just isn’t up to it.
Martha gets the Fea support talk on her way into the meeting. They note the special moon and that it affects the whole world (makes them flor de piel).
We then go through a series of flashbacks inspired by this same moon. First Lety recalling Fer’s confession about Aurora, then Fer, then Aldo recalling that Lety didn’t want to come with him, and finally, Julieta saying the moon is the tone of everything she is feeling right now.
She and Lety are talking in her room and Lety asks her what the problem is. Julieta is upset because Fer is after that Aurora chick. Lety tells her it’s just a TV program. Now there’s a concept for us!!! Juli says she doesn’t care, the kiss looked very real and she thinks that Fer deceived her and that he’s a louse because he was supposed to be so in love with Lety and he told her how much he was suffering because you were with Aldo now it appears that he is going with Aurora. Lety tells her, no it’s not his fault at all, it’s really mine.
Fer and Marcia are talking. Mar doesn’t understand why he feels Aurora disappearing is his fault. He says he knows it’s not really but he’s suffering because she’s not there. Mar says yes because of the debt and everything with the business. He says that’s not it exactly. Mar wants him to tell her because she worries a lot about what happens to him. She tells him they are friends, siblings even. He agrees and then tells her about feeling the sensation of Lety when he kissed Aurora, and he thinks maybe it’s because he misses Lety but he felt like it is really her. Mar thinks he’s ill. He says this is not bad, rather it’s the hope of his life!!
Mom is fainted, but Lety pulls her up. Lety tells her mom that she is Aurora. Mom laughs hysterically and doesn’t believe her. Lety says that she doesn’t want her thinking badly of Fer on her account. She tells her again very seriously that she is indeed Aurora and Mom pulls off Lety’s glasses and a light bulb of impactadaness goes off. She is surprised and starts to believe. She then notes that Lety kissed Don Fer then, but if so, then she is deceiving Aldo. Lety gets a squishy impactada face.
Lety tells mama she’s not at all thinking of canceling her wedding. Mama tells her but this kiss has made you doubtful again, no? Lety reluctantly agrees that yes it seems she hasn’t really forgotten Fer and something is still there. Mama feels bad for Fer. Lety says yeah, but I’m your daughter and I’m suffering here too. Mama gives her a big hug. Lety says she loves Aldo though. Mama says the only way you’ll feel better is to tell the truth to both of them. Lety explains that she used Aurora to play a trick on Omar and she did already, but then it got complicated. Mama reminds her how much she hurt when she was deceived and that now she is doing the same thing. Lety remembers but promises that Aurora isn’t coming back and that the most important thing is that Mama isn’t mad with her. Mama says no, but she needs time to absorb it all and that this is crazy!
Aldo dining with Carmaniac shares that he’s bummed Lety didn’t come. Carmaniac takes advantage of the situation to tell him her opinion that Lety is acting weird not wanting to come to talk about her wedding and that she can’t believe that he still wants to marry her. Aldo tells her he’s not that way. She knows that he loves to philosophize over things. He reminds her that he is in love with Lety.
Back at the apt, Fer doesn’t want to talk about Aurora anymore. So, he tells Mar he has great news. Fer tells Marcia about the new campaign for the DIF and she smiles approvingly. He wonders what she is looking at. She tells him she is really proud of all he is doing to get the business back in order.
Marta goes into the meeting. The leader spots her and encourages her to speak to the group. She starts to tell about herself and about the family she has, then gets down from the podium. The leader tries to get her to continue in a comforting tone and tells her that she needs to tell them why she is here. She admits that her friends forced her there. He tells her her health should be important if she cares about her family that she just described. Just then her family runs in and tells her they found out she was here and that they are going to support her. She explains that for them she will try and the compulsive eaters all clap.
Aldo shows up at Casa Padilla saying he came as fast as he could and he wonders what’s wrong. Julieta tells him he needs to leave Lety alone so she can be happy with Mendiola. He thinks he needs to speak to Lety about this, she will explain. He doesn’t understand because he thought Mama always was in agreement and happy about him marrying her daughter. He says so I can only interpret this that you prefer Fer to me. She tells him it’s not about what she wants or that she doesn’t like him. He says so then you are telling me Lety prefers Fer? Julieta in a tizzy wants to explain. She starts to say that Lety hasn’t said anything but just then Erasmo walks in and Aldo takes this opportunity to leave without letting Juli explain. Erasmo asks her what is wrong with him and if he’s mad. Juli says she can’t talk about it because she needs to soak the beans, and he needs to not bug her. Juli also tells him she doesn’t want to talk about Aurora in this house anymore. Erasmo thinks she didn’t sleep or had nightmares all night maybe.
Caro is contemplating Omar and his gift to her. She says how beautiful it is. She calls Lety and tells her how upset she is and about the gift she got. She explains she doesn’t want to go into Conceptos today because she doesn’t want to see Omar just now.
Mar asks Fer if he shouldn’t check on Omar. Fer thinks he’s fine and that he’s just up to some trick no doubt. Mar is worried. Fer thinks he’s just drunk. Mar says when she saw him last night he didn’t even smell of alcohol and he was very depressed. Just then he comes out holding a sign that says he’s depressed so don’t even speak to him. Fer is hard on him and Mar scolds Fer for not understanding. Mar asks him about Caro.
Omar says that love has changed him he’s not the same and now he’s very unhappy. Mar asks why he doesn’t fight for his love. Fer wants to know how he can fight for something when he has no idea what love even is. Omar ask if she thinks it’s really worth that he fight for it. In unison they both say of course!!
Alicia counts the money for her “treatment.” Tomy wonders why she doesn’t try his treatment first, it is much more effective and besides it’s free! She fumbles saying he has to remember about the hormones etc. He says he remembers and something about giving her tons more money if. He asks if she goes to the office and she says no to the doctor, but Tomy thought the doc was in Africa. She says yes but another doc will do it today.
Marta labors over her decision and talks herself into not eating for the sake of her health. Her family is proud and they bid her farewell and a good day. Just as they leave she pulls out a bunch of food from hidden places and that’s the end of that scene. Did she eat it or try to absorb it via osmosis?
We go to Aldo’s Dad answering a call from Aldo at a café and Aldo begins rehashing what just happened with Juli and saying so he's sorry he can’t meet for lunch. Aldo then notices the article in the paper crediting Fer as the cause for Aurora’s disappearance.
We then flash to the apt where Mar and Fer are watching TV. A news report comes on saying that Fer has a torrid romance with Aurora and after their grand kiss she disappeared so they too are blaming him. Fer gets super mad at the rumor spreading and exclaims that for this reason artists detest the press because they invent this stuff. He wonders who could have started such gossip.
Ah ha ha, we flash to Jacques speaking in a very sinister voice. He congratulates himself for engineering this scandal. He explains that he will earn a lot of money from this PR stunt and the business will increase in value and he intends to sell it for a good price. The photographer agrees.
Lety begs Fer to come and sit and tells him she was thinking of him and that he can’t worry about her, that he needs to continue with his life. He tells her she should worry about her wedding. She tells him that things that affect him also affect her. He thanks her for that senitiment. She wants to tell him something important. She said she was going to do it yesterday but he seemed preoccupied so she didn’t, but now she wants to.
Marta describes to the cuartel how emotional the meeting was. The cuartel try to support her, but then she unpacks a bunch of food and they wonder what the heck. She tells them she brought it to give to them in appreciation for their help and support. The cuartel feels bad for thinking otherwise. I’m not sure if I’m convinced….
Aldo and Tomy are discussing what Juli said and Tomy can’t believe she would do such a thing, that she is such an angel and the bread of God. Tomy speculates that she must be jealous because Aldo is taking away her little doll and so she’s acting out. Aldo wonders if Lety influenced Julieta to prefer Fer. Tomy says he doubts it, that Lety has nothing to do with it. He says it’s not her fault that Mendiola is more agreeable than you. Tomy then realizes what he said and says it was a bad joke. Aldo says with friends like him he needs no enemies. Then he replies they are still friends it was just a joke.
Fer continues that he is very upset about the disappearance of Aurora, but Lety tells him he shouldn’t worry about that, she’s not worth it. He tells her that Aur is important and besides he is thinking about something that would explain everything. He asks her if she saw the news and she says yes about the rumor of their romance. He tells her there is a reason why it’s bothering him so much. He thinks she disappeared because of that kiss. Lety asked him how he knew. He asks her if she knows that’s the reason. She adjusts and says well how did you come to this conclusion. He tells her Aur wasn’t indifferent to their kiss.
Lety thinks to herself that the kiss made her doubt. Fer brings her back into reality and asks if she thinks that’s the reason. She agrees that is the reason. Lety tells him that Aurora will never come back. He tells her that it’s that he could actually see himself falling in love with her for real. Lety, impactada, tells him, no he can’t be in love with her, that it’s not good for him and asks him if he’s sure. He says he’s not sure of anything and that he’s really confused. Just then Lety gets a call to go see Luigi.
Aldo gets a call from Carmaniac but didn’t recognize her voice at first. He explains that something is bothering him and that he’ll tell her later. He asks her what is up and she tells him something we don’t hear, but it makes him really pleased and he tells her he appreciates it.
Celso is greeted by annoying horn honking. It’s Alicia in a new red “treatment”. Celso admires it and tells her that Lety’s is just like it. Alicia, offended, tells him not to confuse garnachas with caviar. He wonders when she got it. She tells him, in a way, she owes it to him but of course he wouldn't get why. She tells him her Papi gave it to her and that he should wash it and park it in a good place.
Luigi ponders the meaning of family. He concludes that it is everything. Lety interrupts as he is weeping slightly and he tells her he’s trying to create something for the Day of Families campaign. Lety wants to know if he is ok. He says yes. Luigi wonders what they think they would do without him since he does everything here. Lety says well Conceptos would do nothing.
Battle of the galans stage two: Aldo and Fer run into each other in Lety’s office as Aldo runs in shouting for Lety. Fer tells him very professionally that he should lower his voice and that Lety isn’t here but he will leave a message, what does he want. Aldo calls him funny, a jokester.
Aldo wants to know what he said to Julieta to cause her to think Fer should marry her daughter. Fer tells him he hasn’t said a thing, why would he say anything, they have gotten along very well for a long time. Aldo says he can go and flatter as much as he wants but the one Lety will marry is him, I assure you. Fer tells him that he has respected his relationship with Lety to the very last word. Aldo warns Fer to stop being so flattersome with Julieta and excuses himself. Fer tells him he’s going first because he has things to do in the office. Al jokes that now Fer is so busy. Fer tells him to choke and Aldo counters to suffocate. Fer tells him to choke on his wedding cake and Aldo responds to suffocate with his little drunken dolls? Aldo leaves and Fer mutters that Lety doesn’t deserve to be a widow so young but that guy deserves to be choked with the cake!
Lety calls Fer to come out, and he does. Will he finally see her sans unibrow? NO he ends up shading his eyes and telling her he just can’t look right now. She keeps calling him as he walks out the door. Lety tells herself she can’t believe what she was just about to do. She asks if she is crazy, no one can know that she is really Aurora.
Martha agrees to go in to the Compulsive Eaters meeting but only if they all go with her. They tell her yes, but Irma says no she has to face this alone and inside are many other people with the same problem that she has and they will help her.

Thanks K! Lety looked so vulnerable, sitting at her desk, anguished, without her eyebrows and glasses. That was an exceptional moment.
Wow - I totally missed Alicia's "treatment." I need to spend more time watching with my eyes and not with my ears. :)
I am still trying to imagine Carmina's conversation with her dad to borrow the yacht:
Carmina: Dad, can I borrow the yacht?
Dad: Why sure, pumpkin. What do you need it for?
Carmina: I met this great guy...
Dad: Well, okay, but don't stay out too late.
Carmina: Oh, it's not for a date. It's for a wedding!
Dad: But gumdrop, I haven't even met this man yet and you're getting married?
Carmina: No, he's not marrying me. He's marrying some ugly girl...
Dad: Uh... what?

Great recap,K. Loved your title and it is so true that"mama meddles and the house of cards begins to tumble". Yes, it is getting very wobbly indeed.
I was disappointed the Lety/Aurora reveal was kind of a teaser since Fernando wouldn't look at Lety. Melinama, you put it well that Lety looked very vulnerable without her eyebrows and glasses. I've started caring about her more again these last few episodes. It is hard to be so confused, but especially when you're already engaged to someone and are having second and third thoughts. All I can say is thank goodness for the Aurora/Fernando kiss or she might never have fully realized how much she has with Fernando and that it is sadly lacking with Aldo. You can't help but be sorry for Aldo but he is so hard to like sometimes, always rubbing Fernando's nose in his loss and jumping on him about Julietta's comments. Aldo would be much happier back in Acapulco. He is a fish out of water right now.
I'm looking forward to more Omar/Caro scenes in the next weeks. Omar seems to have really changed.
One thing I do find hard to believe is how quickly Marcia changed. Does she really just love Fernando in a friend/sister way now?

Hi, everyone. I am reposting my vocabulary question, which I posted very late yesterday. In the previous day, when Fernando and Alpo were fighting, Fernando was taunting Alpo by singing "El Venado, El Venado," (the deer?) and Alpo was saying "corazon, corazon." What did they mean? Are these some kiddy rankouts or what? Thanks if anyone knows.
Maybe "venado" was referring to the colloquial meaning of "stag"? Or something about hunting? Either that or it's some pop culture reference, in which case, I'll never get it...
Does anyone know how many more episodes there are? I've been watching this sporadically.
Given the glimpse of Lety without the unibrow and glasses, I like her that way better than as Aurora. I imagine she'll end up somewhere in between. Initially, I wonder how many glasses they tried on her to make her look maximally nerdy. No matter, I'm a gay guy and in love with Don Fernando. He'll always be my queen of the night, and is ever so much more handsome than the cad on UGLY BETTY. Plus, he's a good actor at playing a scatterbrained goofball.

I agree - I like Fernando a lot more than Daniel from Ugly Betty... but they're not too similar.
I think we are all EXPECTING that this will end on June 15, but it's not official yet.
I don't think Lety's glasses are even close to "maximally nerdy." She would look a lot worse in Tomas's old glasses, or maybe her mother's, or some big round Clark Kents. Lety's glasses actually somewhat obscure her unibrow, while a larger, rounder frame would probably expose it.
It was the granny dresses that really bothered me, and those disappeared after Acapulco. Her sideburns, which had been bothering me even more but at some subliminal level that I wasn't completely aware of, also vanished at some point after Acapulco.
I've never LOVED the glasses, but I've also never thought that they were her major problem compared to the slicked-down hair and frumpy clothes.

Nina, When Aldo said "corazon corazon" to Fern, he was making fun of the show's name, calling it "cursi" (I think Amanda translated that as "cheesy).
When Fern sang "el venado, el venado" it sounded like he was singing a mexican song from a few years back. The song is about a guy whose girl cheats on him very often. In Spanish, when some cheats on you, they are "poniendote los cuernos" (putting horns on you). So in the song, they call the guy "el venado" (because deers have antlers). I have NO IDEA why Fern would insinuate that Lety is cheating on Aldo... all I could think of is that this is a tongue-in-cheek joke for the audience, because Lety is sort of cheating on him by kissing (as Aurora) Fernando.
In any case, it was a HALARIOUS scene; I've watched it over and over on youtube!

k - Lety reveals to "blinded eyes" - I love that phrase, and mama meddles.
Melinama - that was a good scene. Seeing Lety without the glasses, or Aurora make-up, was like finally seeing the real person.
Omar's "deprimida" sign was perfect. I'd love to borrow it occasionally.

Thanks, K. Wasn’t there something else you were going to tell us about the Cristina show? Your favorite part or something? Or are you waiting until it airs?
Under the circumstances, I don’t mind Julietta meddling, this is an extreme case. I just wish she had run upstairs and gotten a couple of Lety’s barrettes for Aldo’s hair, since he won’t cut it. (heehee) LOL at your Carmaniac/Dad yacht conversation, Julie. Lety telling her mom she is suffering, too. Well, can’t help but think she has brought most of this on herself. Flip-flopping on marriage proposals, the whole Aurora thing. They definitely teased us with that almost reveal to Fern. Of course Lety could just blurt it out to Fern already but that might alleviate some of the audience’s tortue and I guess it is too soon for that. In order for me to really like Lety, I have to think about her back in the old days. But I am rooting for Fern and whatever he wants. As for Aldo, I can’t feel sorry for him because I have never been a fan. I think he knows deep down Julietta is right and that this tenuous relationship he has with Lety is doomed.

Has anyone also noticed that Lety's facial blotches have also disapeared. I was reminded of them in the new/old introduction. She was really nerdy back then.
Also what is wrong with Alicia. I really can not stand her anymore.
Can Tomas be that stupid. I want to feel sorry for him but he should know better. I guess it's true, "Love is Blind".

Alma, thank you so much for that explanation. I figured it was some song that would be known to the Mexican audience. When Fernando and Alpo fight, it is like two stags butting horns also. I have also watched that brilliant scene a few times.
Meddling mama - what on earth possessed her to do that? If I were Lety I would be major annoyed, well being Lety I wouldn't but she jumped to conclusions based on Lety's confusion. Yes of course she is guessing right but here again we have people who love Lety doing her thinking and acting for her. The girl will never grow up if this continues.
Fern certainly looked stunned at Aldo's whinny comments about Julieta preferring him. I don't care for Aldo but Julieta did blind-side him and now it appears he is having doubts Lety's feelings himself. I'm not crazy about him having that little tell all with Stalker Girl, that smacks of disloyalty to me. It isn't like she is a tight buddy.
Speaking of which now we have Aldo going to Tomas with romantic problems - how bizarre is that!
Omar using the L word, who would have thought it. I just knew if he ever feel in love it would be hell on earth for him and so it seems. All he has to do is say it to the right person and things will get better but he is too tongue tied to follow the good advice he is being given. When he finally does it that should be a scene or two worth waiting for.

There was a time when I never could have imagined Caro + Omar. Now I'm cheering for them. Funny how things change. :)
Julie
I'm with you on Omar and Caro. They seemed an unlikely match at first but now they are adorable together. It is fun watching him and his amigo Fern change from spoiled skirt chasers into men who stumbled onto the great loves of their lives, are clueless about how to deal with their feelings and are having to fight to get what they want.
As for Lety PG told her months ago she would have to fight for what she wanted but she is still sitting on the sidelines letting everyone, including her mother make all her choices. Pathetic - especially since the men are out fighting for their own happiness.
I just wish Lety would stop annoying me and bring back the charm from the beginning. Time is running out for her with me.

Kris, thanks for the wonderful recap! You have such a way with words!
“He says he was going to go meet Carmaniac. Lety makes a snide comment about Carrrrrmaniac.” LOL! Oh, that is a WONderful name for the Stalker Chick.
“it affects the whole world (makes them flor de piel)” Very odd phrase, when taken literally. Thanks for clarifying it.
“Mom pulls off Lety’s glasses and a light bulb of impactadaness goes off” Great turns of phrases for this recap! Very good!
“Mama reminds her how much she hurt when she was deceived and that now she is doing the same thing.” I always hated that when my Mama reminded me (always gently, though) of something like that. There’s no answer.
My Mama, however, would never have taken a fiancé aside and told him to let me go so I could be happy with someone else. What was Julieta thinking??
Omar with his sign was just hysterical. Like no one’s going to ask him when he’s carrying a sign like that!
I hope Tomy catches on soon or the gran final occurs. One way or another I don’t want to see Malicia trick him again.
Julie, too cute, that dialogue between Carmina and her Papi!
Jeanne

I agree that mamacita shouldn't have blurbed that bit out. I mean, they were all extra friendly to aldo, actually like he was the yerno de sus sueños, and all of a sudden she drops that bomb on him. Not cool.

Kris - I have to add my praise to the chorus for last night's recap. I LOVED: 'It’s Alicia in a new red “treatment”.' Also loved: "Lety tells her it’s just a TV program. Now there’s a concept for us!!!"
Thanks to you and all the recappers for taking the time to entertain us all these many months.

Well, finally Aldo is having a light bulb moment..The picture is becoming clearer that she may be with him,but her heart belong somewhere else and we know with whom..
Alicia & Tomas. Click,click with the remote past them..These two characters have long lost their value to this show,but somehow they have become in the last months the focus..Enough already..
Julie, you're funny..I love the way you write..

Do you think they put on the original opening to remind us that Lety and Fernando are the protagonists of this show? I mean, by just watching it lately one wouldn't think that they were---too much time devoted to Tomás & Alicia and the cuartel.
I'm hoping they don't save the reunion to the 11th hour. I want to enjoy some scenes with Ferni and Lety like they were in Germany and Cuernavaca. I'll feel so cheated if we are deprived of some serious reunion time (let's face it, I just want to have more kissing scenes for Jaime).

Anon, 10:54AM, when you called Fern a scatter brained goofball, it dawned on me that Jaime Camil's portrayal of Fern brings to mind Carey Grant in his screw ball comedies of the 30's and 40's. Their comedy is so physical, yet they can both turn on a dime and really bring so much feeling to their dramatic roles. Both are so handsome,too. But I think Camil wins hands down for sex appeal and animal magnetism.

Why did Fern refuse to look at Lety? Did he not want her to reveal that she is Aurora?

Maybe Fernando didn't look at Lety because he didn't want her to see that he was crying.

I still think the whole Fernando/Aurora "real life romance" is a inside joke LOL. I think Julieta knows that Lety still loves Fernando. I think Lety is trying to convince herself that she loves Aldo. I do believe that she loves Aldo. But she's not in love with him. I think she's staying with Aldo out of obligation because he sacrificed everything for her. So I think Julieta is telling Aldo to back off so Lety can realize who her true love is.

Cathy, I don't know if you were joking or not with that thing about the credits reminding us that Lety and Fern are the protagonists - but either way, LOL! I was starting to think that maybe Martha and her sandwiches were running the show!
