La Fea Más Bella #298A 6/21/07 Hot Heads & Hotrods
Tom tells Ariel that yes, he was the one who transferred the ONE MILLION DOLLARS (sorry, I keep thinking of Dr. Evil in Austin Powers whenever they mention this money) to his Swiss bank account. Ariel wonders what the authorities will do when they discover this. Tom walks out of the room, leaving Alicia looking most uncomfortable.
In Lety’s office, Fern tells Aldo that as Lety's assistant, he must tell Aldo something. He tries to sit down but Aldo stands behind the chair and wiggles it around until Fern finally gives up trying to sit. Instead he turns around to Aldo and says that Lety had a nightmare. Aldo asks Fern if he’s ever stopped to wonder if maybe he (Fern) is the nightmare. Aldo asks Fern when he will accept the fact that Lety loves him (Aldo), and that his (Fern’s) train has left the station. As he talks, Aldo goes for Fern’s tie. Fern thinks Aldo is trying to choke him. Aldo says he just wants to fix Fern’s tie. He says Fern can’t even put his tie on right. Fern suavely leans on the desk and calmly rebuts that oh pa-lease, he was born wearing a tie. Aldo (going back to the script) , repeats that Fern’s train left the station because he was a liar, egotistical, manipulator, vain… Fern repeats, "I was born wearing a tie, and with gel in my hair – I know, very extreme gel, you don’t have to tell me." He slicks back his hair for effect. He adds that regardless, this is not el caso (case ). Aldo touches Ferns hair and says it looks like a casco (helmet). Fern in turn calls Aldo fritangas (a nice variation on his now standard insult "burger flipper")
Alicia’s got the water-works going. She cries that Tom will never forgive her. The saddest thing that could happen to her is that Tom not forgive her and that he stops loving her. She doesn’t think she could bear that. She holds her belly.
On the road, Aldo and Fern are now riding side by side on their motorcycles, presumably looking for Lety. The other cars in the street were apparently really excited to see this scene being taped, because they are all beeping like mad, so that we can barely hear what the guys are saying – either that, or it’s just another typical day on the streets of Mexico City.
Inspired by the scene assinged to them, Fern sings a verse from Parace que va a llover (It Looks Like It’s Going To Rain), which is a song from the movie "¡¡ A toda máquina!!", one of the best movies from the golden age of Mexican film. [If you’re a Fern fan, you will love Pedro Infante in A toda máquina. Now that I think about it, the Pedro Infante influence in Fern's character is clearly evident. Put it on your Netflix list!] Aldo loves the adlib so much that he gives Fern a high-five! Trying a little adlib of his own, Aldo tells Fern to stop having fun and look for Lety, then he spots her and they speed up.
A girl in a red card drives by, and Fern, who has managed to catch up to Aldo, says there goes Lety [no, it wasn’t Lety; I had to rewind about 10 times to confirm it]. Aldo follows the car and Fern laughs [non-Aldo fans might say he laughs in righteous retribution] before riding off in the opposite direction.
The cops catch up to Lety and cut her off, making her stop. Tom tells her to stay in the car and gets out of to give himself up. I just noticed he's wearing make-up -- he doesn't look half-bad! They cuff him as Lobo and Alicia drives up. Alicia jumps out of the cab and tells them Tomas didn’t do anything. She stops to ask Tom why he’s dressed that way (like a woman). She repeats to the police that he didn’t take the money, it was her… she then adds that it was her that just confirmed that the money is not missing, and it’s all a mistake (Lety rolls her eyes and raises her arms as if to say "Can you believe this oxi?").
In the car, Lety asks Tom what he thinks happened. Tom thinks Alicia must have returned the money. Lety starts to say "I told you so" but changes her mind and just tells him he should not show up work crying.
Just then Fern and Aldo ride by, trying to kick each other and smack each other's helmets. Lety recognizes them and follows them. The boys are showing off again, with lame (and dangerous) tricks like standing on their bikes as they ride and riding sideways. They don’t see Lety driving right behind them. She’s worried that the boys will get hurt. Tomas adds that, because they are so busy smacking each other around, that they haven’t noticed they’re riding en el sentido contrario (the wrong way, against the traffic).
Tomorrow: It looks like Lety may not have any grooms left to choose between!
My queridos amigos, this is my last regularly scheduled Fea recap. I've really enjoyed it and am having a hard time letting go, as may be evident by the fact that this half-hour recap is longer than most of my 1-hour recaps. It's been a blast! I hope you all continue to visit to see what's going on with the other novelas, not to mention Melinama and this excellent blogging team; I sure will!
In Lety’s office, Fern tells Aldo that as Lety's assistant, he must tell Aldo something. He tries to sit down but Aldo stands behind the chair and wiggles it around until Fern finally gives up trying to sit. Instead he turns around to Aldo and says that Lety had a nightmare.

He slicks back his hair for effect. He adds that regardless, this is not el caso (case ). Aldo touches Ferns hair and says it looks like a casco (helmet). Fern in turn calls Aldo fritangas (a nice variation on his now standard insult "burger flipper")
Tomas sneaks into the lobby grabs Lety as she walks by. They sit in a couple of big, high-backed, wicker chairs which I’ve never noticed before and he tells her that Ariel just notified him that the cops are coming to get him. Lety is surprised that Ariel is going through with his threats. [Duh! Why would she not take it seriously? It is Ariel, after all.] Tom says he needs to hide out. Lety says that if he goes, she goes too. Just then the elevator door opens right behind the chairs they are sitting in. Two cops walk out and order everyone to freeze. Lety and Tom slouch down so they can’t be seen, while Lola and Martha put their hands up. The cops say they are looking for Tom Mora. Lola and Martha act dumb while Tom and Lety sneak away. They make a pit stop at a door and grab what appears to be a big white bag, the kind that you find in a mercado filled with enough frijoles (beans) to feed the familia for a week. Martha says she thinks Tom is with Lety. Tom and Lety tiptoe away as the cops stand around looking menacing but basically doing nothing.
Ariel walks in and asks the cops if they got Tom yet. They advise him that no one will say where Tom is. This causes Ariel to start stomping around screaming. Martha asks why they’re looking for Tom. They say they can not divulge that information, but Ariel says that the employees should know so that Tom can serve as an example of consequences of dishonesty. All the while, Alicia is listening in from the other room. She thinks aloud that Tom’s only sin was to love her too much. Ariel tells them that Tom has stolen the ONE MILLION DOLLARS. Alicia says to herself that she must be the one to pay because it’s all her fault. Ariel yells at the women to look for Tom, and they walk around calling "Tommy" and looking for him under seat cushions and behind potted plants.
Alicia’s got the water-works going. She cries that Tom will never forgive her. The saddest thing that could happen to her is that Tom not forgive her and that he stops loving her. She doesn’t think she could bear that. She holds her belly.
One of the cops remembers that someone mentioned Lety, and thinks maybe they should look for her. Lety hears this from the ladies’ room and winces. She hands a reluctant Tomas the frijole sack and sends him into a stall.
Fern asks Aldo if he is 100% sure that Lety wants to marry him. Aldo seems uncertain for a split second but then answers that of course he’s sure. Fern asks why anyone would want to be married to someone who smells like kitchen grease. Aldo says he’s no burger flipper, and that Lety is marrying a chef. He tells Fern to just accept that he lost Lety way back when she was in love with him, but he was too dumb to admit that he loved her too. Fern interjects that he was a different person back then. They are yelling at each other when Ariel and the cops walk into the office looking for Tom. They can’t come up with a good answer. Ariel is sure Lety is trying to protect Tom. Before the guys can stick up for Lety, Ariel shuts them up and walks out in a snit with the cops following. Fern explains to Aldo that as a baby, Ariel fell on his head, and he’s been in a sour mood ever since.

Fern explains to Aldo that as a baby, Ariel fell on his head, and he’s been in a sour mood ever since.
The cops check the bathroom stalls in the ladies' room. Tom squeals like a fake girl and he sticks out his arm out of his stall to hit the cop with the frijole sack. Realizing that going into the ladies’ room may violate acceptable police department protocol, the cops high tail it out of there. Lety pulls Tom out of the stall, but we don’t get to see him, we only see his hand, shaking with anxiety.
In Tom’s office, Alicia is on the computer. She transfers the ONE MILLION DOLLARS back to the Conceptos account. She says that no one will know she stole… she corrects herself "no, not stole, just borrowed" that money. She laments that she will not get to be a Swiss natural blonde.
Lety walks into the Vortex with Tomas. The sight of Tomas causes Lola to shriek. Tom is sporting a long, camel-colored, big-shouldered jacket, a skirt, white tights, and Mary-Jane shoes (you can’t see them here but you could see them under the stall back in the rest room)… Oh yeah, and he’s wearing Lety wig: a long, black, slick braid. [Well we could pause here to discuss why the heck Lety happened to have this outfit conveniently lying around, in Tomas’s size, natch, but let’s not, okay?] He says "hoooolaaa" like Lety and does the flimsy-wristed Lety wave. The women think that this must be Lety’s sister. Ariel runs in and calls for the cops to grab them. Tom and Lety make a run for it while Lola and Martha try to get in the cops’ way.
Lety’s office door opens and Fern and Aldo struggle to be the first out of the door. They finally both get out and run through the Vortex calling for Lety. Then Alicia runs by as well, calling for Tommy and trying to juggle her gold lamee purse and her dead dog… woops, sorry, that was her hideous fur jacket.
In front of Conceptos, Tomas and Lety jump in her car and zoom away [let’s assume her car just happened to be sitting right in front because she’s the prez]. The cops jump in their squad car and follow them. [Hmm, their siren went on but the blue & red police lights didn’t…] Fern and Aldo run out and ask Celso where Lety went. Celso responds that the two young ladies just took off a-that-a-way in Lety’s car. Aldo asks Fern if they can take his car. Fern reminds Aldo that he (Fern) sold his car to pay Aldo. Aldo reminds Fern that he has not been fully paid yet. Fern concedes that Aldo is right, however, he was able to pay some of it. Then Fern points to another car sitting in the driveway, and says they can take that one. Aldo runs to the car, but Fer make a fast turn and runs to another guy nearby with a motorcycle. He asks the guys if he can borrow the motorcycle, and gives him his wallet as collateral. Meanwhile Aldo is already in the passenger seat of the parked car when he realizes Fer pulled a fast one. He jumps out of the car and runs back to Fer and the motorcycle. The scene is poorly edited here because suddenly Fer is already on the bike taking off and Aldo is sitting on a second motorcycle. The owner of the bikes seems kinda worried. Fern yells "Wooohoo" and the bike-owner calls out "may God bless you" -- not sure if he’s addressing Fern or his bike.
Okay, so far everything in this outside scene has happened in less than a minute! The camera is shaky, and I am so-o-o-o-o dizzy! Also, I am rolling around on the floor in hysterics!
Celso stares off after Fern, and Lobo (Mr. Martha) walks up to him and hits him to snap him out of it. Alicia runs out and demands to know where Tomas is. Celso, understandably confused and probably as dizzy as the rest of us, says Tom has not passed through here. Alicia grabs Lobo and tells him she has to catch up to Tom. The two get into Lobo’s cab and they burn rubber as they take off.
On the road, Aldo and Fern are now riding side by side on their motorcycles, presumably looking for Lety. The other cars in the street were apparently really excited to see this scene being taped, because they are all beeping like mad, so that we can barely hear what the guys are saying – either that, or it’s just another typical day on the streets of Mexico City.
Inspired by the scene assinged to them, Fern sings a verse from Parace que va a llover (It Looks Like It’s Going To Rain), which is a song from the movie "¡¡ A toda máquina!!", one of the best movies from the golden age of Mexican film. [If you’re a Fern fan, you will love Pedro Infante in A toda máquina. Now that I think about it, the Pedro Infante influence in Fern's character is clearly evident. Put it on your Netflix list!] Aldo loves the adlib so much that he gives Fern a high-five! Trying a little adlib of his own, Aldo tells Fern to stop having fun and look for Lety, then he spots her and they speed up.
Tomas tries to calm Lety down, as she is super-nervous. They turn on the radio and the announcer is reporting that some guy stole A MILLION DOLLARS from Conceptos and has flown in women’s clothing [we could pause here to discuss the many, many crimes that go unnoticed by both the authorities and the media in novelas, which make me wonder why they would care about this one in particular… but let’s not, okay?]. Tomas is freaked out, not so much by the fact that he is a fugitive from justice, but by the fact that he has been reported to be in women’s clothing, so he starts pulling off the clothes and throws them out the window. Good thing he doesn’t care about the fugitive part, because the cops are now right behind them.
Fern and Aldo see the cops and follow. They decide to pass the squad car, one on the left, the other on the right. This confuses the cops and they swerve. Fer calls out "Ay Caray!" followed by an apology to the cops. Another "Ay Caray" when he realizes they’ve lost them. Aldo says "and Lety too." Fern says that’s who he was referring to.
In Lobo’s cab, Alicia confesses to him that her husband Tom is in big, big trouble, and it’s all her fault, because she stole the ONE MILLION DOLLARS, and Tom took the blame. Lobo says that Tomas is an incredible person. Alicia agrees. She says he’s a marvelous man and she loves him so much, but she only now realized it. And now it may be too late to get him back, even though she’s pregnant with his oxi spawn.
Tom thinks they lost the cops. Lety wonders what they’ll do now. Tom thinks he’ll hide out 10 years or so, until this storm blows over. Lety reasons that it won’t be necessary, since the police investigation will confirm that he is innocent. Tom says he doesn’t want them to do that, and that he did take the money. Lety says she knows very well that Tom is incapable of stealing a single cent. She thinks he must be protecting someone. She realizes it must be Alicia. Tom breaks downs and admits that it was her, and that she lied to him all along. Lety says that he must denounce her, but Tom says he can’t do it. Lety looks worried.
Back to the motorcycles. Aldo starts to swerves around Fern. I think he’s trying to show off. Fern tells Aldo that Luis Aguilar (the co-star in A toda máquina) never pushed Pedro Infante. As they ride along, Aldo asks Fern if he likes mole (you know, that Mexican sauce served over chicken and rice). Fern responds that of course he does. Aldo responds "good, because there’s your chicken" as he swerves his bike, making Fern swerve onto the ramp of a parked truck. Fern wails as he goes up the ramp and Aldo rides off on his own (non-Aldo fans might say this makes him an asshat).
From outside the truck we see chicken feathers flying up all over the place and we hear chickens clucking in surprise. Luckily, Fern is not hurt. He’s still on his bike inside the truck, covered in feathers and holding a feisty chicken in his arms. He mimics Aldo’s mole joke and pets the chicken, telling it not to worry, he will not let them make chicken soup out of him!
Lobo says he thinks they lost Lety and Tom. Alicia is worried that the cops will find him. Lobo says there’s no problem, since she already returned the money. Alicia clarifies that no one knows she returned it yet. Lobo, the smartest man on this novela, tells her not to make life more complicated than it has to be; all she has to do is call and tell them that the money has been returned. [Duh!] Alicia immediately pulls out her cell phone and dials the office. Ariel answers and demands an update. She tells him that the missing money was all a mistake. She orders him to call off the cops.
A girl in a red card drives by, and Fern, who has managed to catch up to Aldo, says there goes Lety [no, it wasn’t Lety; I had to rewind about 10 times to confirm it]. Aldo follows the car and Fern laughs [non-Aldo fans might say he laughs in righteous retribution] before riding off in the opposite direction.
The cops catch up to Lety and cut her off, making her stop. Tom tells her to stay in the car and gets out of to give himself up. I just noticed he's wearing make-up -- he doesn't look half-bad! They cuff him as Lobo and Alicia drives up. Alicia jumps out of the cab and tells them Tomas didn’t do anything. She stops to ask Tom why he’s dressed that way (like a woman). She repeats to the police that he didn’t take the money, it was her… she then adds that it was her that just confirmed that the money is not missing, and it’s all a mistake (Lety rolls her eyes and raises her arms as if to say "Can you believe this oxi?").
The police get a call from dispatch as Alicia tries to get Tomas’s attention. Tomas cuts her off, saying they have nothing to talk about. She tries to explain but he says all he ever wanted was to make her happy. The cop comes back and says dispatch confirmed that there is no crime (uh, except for the high-speed O.J. chase through the residential streets of el D.F.-- in a car with no license plates, BTW) and they leave. Lety tells Tom they need to leave too. Tom tells Alicia "You don’t know how much I regret the day I fell in love with you" before walking off.
In the car, Lety asks Tom what he thinks happened. Tom thinks Alicia must have returned the money. Lety starts to say "I told you so" but changes her mind and just tells him he should not show up work crying.
Just then Fern and Aldo ride by, trying to kick each other and smack each other's helmets. Lety recognizes them and follows them. The boys are showing off again, with lame (and dangerous) tricks like standing on their bikes as they ride and riding sideways. They don’t see Lety driving right behind them. She’s worried that the boys will get hurt. Tomas adds that, because they are so busy smacking each other around, that they haven’t noticed they’re riding en el sentido contrario (the wrong way, against the traffic).
They are on a curvy road now, on the side of a hill. Fern tells Aldo his mole joke was pretty good. Aldo asks if he picked out a nice fat chicken for his soup. He calls Fern on his joke of sending Aldo after the wrong car. They debate whether Fern knew it was the wrong car. Fern then nonchalantly adds he thinks they are driving in the wrong direction, and hopefully, a car won’t drive up towards them. Right on cue, a car swerves towards them. The guys swerve away. Lety and the other car screech to a stop, just missing each other. But the guys ride their bikes right off the side of the road, in an inadvertent Thelma & Louise tribute. [I’m hoping there is a river or something to catch their fall, but it looks like a long and rough way down.] They float through the air in slo-mo and Lety screams in disbelief "se mataron!" (They killed themselves!) .
Tomorrow: It looks like Lety may not have any grooms left to choose between!
My queridos amigos, this is my last regularly scheduled Fea recap. I've really enjoyed it and am having a hard time letting go, as may be evident by the fact that this half-hour recap is longer than most of my 1-hour recaps. It's been a blast! I hope you all continue to visit to see what's going on with the other novelas, not to mention Melinama and this excellent blogging team; I sure will!

Lord have mercy, but I'm glad Tomas finally grew a pair and talked back to his little Oxi! It's about time!

Fab recap and thanks for all your work, I'm so sorry you're quitting the team! I would NEVER have known about that movie so it makes those scenes so much funnier in retrospect. Ever since aldo showed up in LFMB my absolutely favorite scenes have been between aldo and fern. They were in fine form in this episode. Utterly hysterical. I think they should do a boy film together. Bye Alma it was great.
This episode was so silly and over the top...I LOVED IT! And Lety looked so beautiful! Being LFMB, I doubt the guys were hurt. They probably had a convenient fall onto a haystack or a giant dumpster full of feathers. Haha...I can't wait to see what happens next!

Alma - you've outdone yourself! Thanks so much for doing these recaps for us! I'm so sad this is ending...
The Wicker chairs in the Vortex are magic chairs belonging to PG of course! (Remember how one suddenly appeared out of no where on the Beach in Acapulco when Psychic Guy gave Lety her magic necklace?)
The movie you mention - is it like a Crosby & Hope road show flick?
Thanks again Alma!

Great recap. I so enjoyed this episode. The scenes between Aldo & Fern were so funny. They should really do a movie together. They reminded me of Jackie Chan & Chris Tucker in "Rush Hour".
And the new Lety looked like she grew some boobs. The old Fea Lety didn't look so endowed. But she did look beautiful.
Tomas finally saw the light. Let's see how Alicia gets out of this one.

"Parece que va a llover" - the Fern & Aldo version, sooo funny.
I can't believe that in the past week I have heard that song (on TV) about 3 times. There was a Pedro Infante tribute program last week, with a film clip from the movie mentioned in the recap. Then, as a part of the tribute there was a version sung by the Kumbia All Starz (kind of a cumbia- hiphop version). And then last night on LFMB.
Alma - Thanks so very much for your contributions to this board. Take care.

Alma - Thanks for another great recap. I can understand why you'd want to take a break; you guys put a lot of effort into this unpaid job, and believe me, we appreciate it!
I ordered the first DVD of La Fea Mas Bella from Novelas R Us (www.novelasrus.com/) and have no complaints. It arrived in about 10 days. There were 5 episodes on the DVD, the picture and sound quality were good (better than Univision comes in on my cable), the commercials were cut out and the resulting length of each episode was about 45 minutes. There were no subtitles - although I haven't ever figured out how to get subtitles on my TV from Univision - so maybe they're available on the right TV/DVD player??

I have been watching la fea since almost the beginning (just happpended to come upon it) -long before ugly betty - and I have to say THANK YOU to ALL you recappers (Alma, Melinama,Julie, Amanda, Kris, 5ftLatina, et.al. - sorry if I forgot anyone). Without your recaps I would get only about 35% of the story, but every morning at work I read the recaps and they have been soooo helpful. Since it's been 35 years since my last Spanish class - and I have lost touch with most of my spanish speaking Latino friends - my opportunity to speak, understand and continue to practice Spanish has been limited. This has improved my abilities tremendously.
I just happened onto this site in the fall and aimply read w/o commenting. You all have been wonderful - gracias por todo ... muchas, muchas gracias.
besos y abrazos

Alma, what a great recap. It has been so much fun having your contributions and insights about the Mexican culture. Many thanks for all the recaps you and the others have done.
This episode was hysterical. Fernando holding the chicken and the feathers flying everywhere. I loved it! It looks like Aldo and Fernando are really becoming friends and you could tell they were having so much fun doing this scene. Their boyish showing off on the motorcycles was too stupid and too funny. We know our boys are going to come through unscathed but maybe Lety will realize that she's more worried about Fernando than Aldo and this will be her wakeup call.
Wow, Alicia finally confessed to the crime and did something for someone else, probably for the first time in her life. Will miracles ever cease! I do hope Tommy forgives her eventually since she confessed and has realized that she loves him. Also, we know he'll be miserable without her now.
Tomas in the woman's clothing and ripping them off in the car was so reminiscient of old Hollywood movies like "Some Like it Hot". This was a fabulous action stuffed 30 mintues, and I'm so glad I didn't miss any of it. Ta Ta.

Alma, thanks so much for your recap. I appreciate all your hard work. Many thanks for helping me know what is going on with the story. Your Austin Powers reference to the ONE MILLION DOLLARS was funny! Yes, those tricks the boys were doing on the motorcycles were dangerous. Muy irresponsable! (I am sure I won’t be the only one to comment on this, since reckless character alcohol consumption has been noted in the past.) Oh well, at least they were wearing helmets. (It was cute when Fern gave the little chicken a pat. Now that I know what he said, that was funny, too.) So, maybe Lety will have her lightning bolt moment and run to the guy she truly loves, Fern? That drop looked pretty steep. Don’t see Lety and Tomas making it down there to investigate. There is no way they would have Aldo die, would they? That would be a cop out for Lety. I say just have him lose a few chiclets. (heehee)
Like Tani said, there will probably be something down there to break their fall.
Why couldn’t Tomas talk in a normal tone of voice more often? If he did, I may have actually liked him and not always skipped over or muted his scenes.
We are down to only two more nights! Waaahhh!!

Why couldn’t Tomas talk in a normal tone of voice more often? If he did, I may have actually liked him and not always skipped over or muted his scenes.
We are down to only two more nights! Waaahhh!!

Melinama, I think you should post Tomas' beaten-down look from this episode onto your vocabulary site for desanimados. Even Tomas' hair had deflated he was so dejected (after he took the wig off).

Wonderful recap Alma. The episode captured just the right level of silly. I enjoyed the boys out on the road. When I was young, I could stand on my bicycle seat like that, but I'd never do that trick as an adult on a motorcycle. Most of their riding looked real, no blue screen used, but I'm no expert. Tommy reminded me of Golda Meir more than Lety. Anyway, it was nice seeing him without his rooster-doo.

Alma, thanks so much for the wonderful recap! We’ll miss seeing your delightful comments and great details on LFMB! You've done an outstanding job for a very, very long time. Don't be a stranger......
Well, maybe Alicia is heading toward a full rehab. Will Tomás ever forgive her? (Probably, he’s such a total wuss where Alicia is concerned. We should all be so lucky to have someone love us so unconditionally whether or not we deserve it).
“Aldo asks Fern when he will accept the fact that Lety loves him (Aldo), and that his (Fern’s) train has left the station.” I had to laugh when I heard Aldo say this. There’s an often-used American Sign Language phrase to express the same idea, “train gone,” where a ton of meaning is entirely in the movement, direction and force of the sign. (I guess you have to be there…..)
“Fern suavely leans on the desk and calmly rebuts that oh pa-lease, he was born wearing a tie.” And don’t we all agree he wears it soooo well! That was a great line the writers gave him.
I really like the new Lety, with so many of our Lety quirks and eye tics, as well as the Lety voice. It seems like a nice mix.
“She laments that she will not get to be a Swiss natural blonde.” She wouldn’t be even if she were Swiss, now, would she?
“[Well we could pause here to discuss why the heck Lety happened to have this outfit conveniently lying around, in Tomas’s size, natch, but let’s not, okay?]” LOL! My thoughts exactly, but it is telenovelaland, so anything goes.
“Inspired by the scene assinged to them, Fern sings a verse from Parace que va a llover (It Looks Like It’s Going To Rain), which is a song from the movie "¡¡ A toda máquina!!", one of the best movies from the golden age of Mexican film.” Wow, Alma, thanks for this bit of info! Now it makes lots more sense! I thought that was what they were singing, but it made no sense.
“in a car with no license plates, BTW” How long has she had that car? I saw that and wondered if all this past month has been only three telenovela days.
The whole chase scene was totally diverting, especially with Fern’s and Aldo’s camaraderie on the motorcycles. But, omigosh, how will the boys land?

I wonder if the motorcycle over the cliff could just be another "daydream"? If it's real someone could be in serious trouble.
I love the scenes with Fern and Aldo.
Yes Fern, you certainly were born with a tie and hair gel! I have to say you wear them both unusually well!
Thank you Alma for all you recaps and the hard work. Enjoy your break away and have a great summer with your family.

Thank you Alma for this great recap and all your fine work. I missed some of those jokes between Alpo and Fernando, so that was so helpful. I will look for that movie, but I am sorry to see that Melinama has already noted that it is not on Netflix!
The jump over the cliff is a bit like Butch and Sundance. I don't see a river down below, though. Fern and Alpo really were funny together.

And P.S. Tomas really looked good without the glasses and with his pompadour deflated (and with the normal voice). I would like to see him in something else.
It's funny that the motorcycle scene was a reference to a movie... because when I was watching it, it reminded me of that scene in ET when the kids are making their big escape to take ET to the spaceship.
And then just as they're surrounded by police and g-men, ET levitates them to freedom!
I don't think that will happen tonight.
But it's not the first time they did something that reminded me of ET. When Luigi first saw the New Lety (the green one), he started screaming, she started screaming, it was just like when Elliott met ET for the first time.

I just figured out who Cybil Lety looks like now, LOLA without glasses!! The same hair style, hair color, makeup, 3/4 sleeves.

Alma, what a great recap! And what a great episode. The only good reason we got Aldo is for his scenes with Fernando. Absolutely hysterical. Aldo has more chemistry with Fern that he does with Lety. Anyone wondering if, when the motorcycle fall is over, Lety runs first to Fernando to see if he's alright?

Wow! I am really bummed to hear A Toda Maquina is not on Netflix. I thought they had everything!
Laura, it's sort of like the old Bing Crosby movies. In this one, Pedro infante he's a charming but less than honest guy who manages to get hired as a motorcycle cop.

No one's mentioned it today, and I don't want to make a big deal out of this and flog a dead horse because this show is almost over, but just in case the anonymous person from yesterday's comments didn't go back and read them, and in case they decide to continue with other telenovelas and recaps, I'd like to mention the incident today so hopefully they'll read it here.
Yesterday someone gave away the entire episode even though those of us here on the west coast still had two hours to go before the episode aired. Not cool, sorry to be blunt, but it ruined the whole thing for me. I know I'm anal retentive about not wanting things spoiled for me, but so are a lot of other people. If you do move on to another novela, please try to remember that we are not all in the same time zone and don't all get to watch the shows at the same time. Those of us who are anal would really appreciate it. I know you didn't mean to, it was an exciting episode and you were eager to share, but do stop a moment and take us late zoners into consideration. Thanks, and thanks for letting me get this off my chest.

Sorry, also wanted to add to Alma that it's been a pleasure to read your recaps! You, and all the other recappers, have done great jobs. I can't believe there's just tonight and Monday and we're done. I'm DEFINITELY going to have a box of tissues by the couch, not just because of the storyline but because it'll all be over.
Ann, thanks for the info on the dvds. I still want to buy the official one when it comes out, but I think I'm going to also spring for the unofficial one, just so I can see the whole thing (crappy cuartel and all) from the beginning.
I don't think I'll be hanging around Juan Querendon much longer, but I plan on sticking with Destilando Amor and I definitely plan on watching the new show replacing Duelo, so hopefully I'll "see" you all in those recaps.

Thanks for the wonderful recap. This was a action packed episode no doubt. Tomas dressed like Lety. Hysterical. Aldo and Fernando on the bikes. Priceless. The bikes going over the cliff. Jawdropping. That scene probably was not only inspired by Thelma and Louise. If anyone has seen MI:2 there is a scene where Tom Cruise and the other guy both go over a cliff on their motorcycles too. Wonder if both of them will go down unscathed. Guess we'll find out tonight leading up to the big finale on Monday. Thank you to all the recappers for a fine job.

Kim P., thanks for the reminder that those of you on the west coast won't see things until later. That's a very important reminder, and those of us who live east of you (which is a lot of us, it seems) could easily forget. Occasionally I comment on the current evening (though generally not for La Fea, but the others) and now will be very aware since you so gently pointed this out. Thanks again.

Thank you, Alma, for all your time and effort. We really appreciate your talent. I love the way Tomas looked in the make-up and flat hair. Don't let Luigi see Tomas in that get-up.
Wow, everything is moving so quickly, now. Looking forward to our next time together.

I'm with whoever said that Lety may reveal her true feelings when she runs to which man? That scene with the chicken was hilarious as was the whole brothers on bikes routine. They did look like they were really having fun and knew what they were doing. Love how they have these chase scenes and there is little or no traffic. If you've ever been to the DF you know that is as unlikely as pigs flying.
I hate to admit it but I did feel sorry for Alicia when Tomy cut her dead. She is pretty used to him jumping when she snaps her fingers so it was interesting to see him take a stand. I'm curious to see how she is going to get him back and she better have that paper from the doctor saying she is pregnant handy because no one is going to believe. I know she has it coming but Patty is such a good actress she makes you feel kind of sorry for her.
OK I noticed the lack of license plates as well but where on earth did Lety get the black wig. Don't tell me we are supposed to believe that all the time she was a fea she had been wearing a wig with that awful braid. I figured the bolsa had her old Aurora duds and wig in it. Oddly enough I saw a cartoon or read something the other day that said what man hasn't dressed up in women's clothes at one time his life. Guess I can now add Tomy to the mix.
As for the time difference issue I avoid any problem by not checking the blog after 4 PM my time. I'm usually on Mountain Time but since I live in Arizona and we don't go on daylight saving time am on Pacific time for half the year but our TV shows are still on MDT which means novelas start her at 6.

Great recap and comments! I love to read them - checking every couple hours or so. Thanks G-d I have time for that.
I loved this episode - boys on a bike, Alicia getting closer to normal person, Thomas as "Lety's sister". I also thought that he looks very handsome after he removed the clothes and the wig in the car. And I'm with Barbara from Mass who said "Don't let Luigi see Tomas in that get-up." LOL
Lety finally was a real friend last nite when she took upon herself getaway for Thomas - now I can see the "old" Lety in new clothes. And I really like how she looked - probably like real Angelica Vale.
I hope nothing serious will happen with the "boys" and she will get to Fernando first.
About Alicia - me thinks that quartel will take care of letting Thomas know that she is pregnant and loves him - remember Mr.Marta took the confeccion.
Well, only two days left and will get there pretty soon.

What a funny episode, and I willingly suspended my disbelief in exchange for all the laughs. Alma, thanks for the background info on the Pedro Infante movie. Loved Fern's comment about the suit and hair gel--too true. Fern and Aldo were having WAY too much fun on the bikes. And every good comedy needs a chicken truck joke in it. Fern petting that chicken was both sweet and hilarious. I was proud of Tomas for letting Alicia know she had gone too far, he had a great combination of crazy costuming and tragic dignity.

Thanks for the Pedro Infante info, also. I knew the scene, but not the movie title.
Alas, my dvr recorded NOTHING on Univision last night (this has happened before) but it did record Telemundo. Anyone have a clue why the dvr jinx on Univision?
Hope to find Fernando "con pollo" on Youtube. He is just too precious, isn't he? Born with tie and "extreme" gel. LOL. Love him!
Ann - thanks for letting us know about novelasrus. I will check them out.
Off to Youtube, and definitely home tonight in time to catch the show - don't trust that dvr!

Could someone PLEASE CONFIRM for me if MONDAY the 25th the last show, then? In other words, tonight, June 22nd is definitely NOT the last show? Just want to be sure I set my DVR properly at home. I will check this comments again tonight since I don't want to read anything on the blog--ahead of time. THANKS

Yes, Monday is the finale. From what I have heard there is a LFMB flashback hour from 7-8, then a two hour finale 8-10, then the Christina show with the cast from 10-11. But you might want to check your local guide for the times.

Hi all, nothing really new to add here, but just wanted thank Alma for all the great recaps. I hope to see you around the blog. I feel like I'm saying goodbye to a friend. I'm so going to miss visiting here daily to check what everyone had to say about the show. Enough of the sad stuff....
So anyway, I want to weigh in on last night's show. Thank God Tomas got some cojones and stood up to Alicia. Yes, I agree his voice was very nice in that last scene. It just makes you appreciate what a talented actor Luis Manuel Ávila really is.
One thing that made me laugh last night was when Aldo and Fer were pushing each other to get through Lety's office door. Just too funny---Fer rubbing his shoulder afterward (made me wonder if Jaime got a little hurt)--- and then all their scenes there after. Yes, Jaime and Juan have more chemistry together than Juan and Angelica. Said before, but well worth repeating. That's why I'm convinced Lety will run to Fer first tonight. Hopefully Aldo will get the message.
About the NovelaRus dvds if they are recorded off tv they should have the close captions, just like when you tape off of tv they are there. So try your "CC" button and see if that works.

OK--I just watched the 6 Flags thing on YouTube and I swear Jaime looked at his watch right in the middle of singing. It kind of bugs me, because I think that's so rude when you see people doing that---and if he's the entertainer and he's looking at his watch what does that say (I read it as "I'd rather be anywhere else than here, how much longer do I have to endure this").
So someone, anyone, check it out and see if I'm wrong.

I do the same thing, I avoid the blog when it nears show time.
I understand people are excited and want to talk about what's happened. I just do myself a favor and just stay away so I won't find out ahead of time what's going to happen.
It works good for me.

I believe the people at the 6 Flags show had limited stage time. If he checked his watch, it may not have been to find out "can I get out of here yet" - it could have been "am I going to have time to finish this." (I know there's usually some crew person who signals when it's time to wrap up, but if Jaime is like me, he gets paranoid about time much sooner than necessary.)
Cathy - I think you're right about Jaime checking his watch! But it also looked like he was having fun and was flashing that beautiful smile - so I forgive him!

Yes Jaime Camil checked his watch, but as was mentioned, all the stars had very little stage time. It was set up that they'd go out to the radio station booth and sign autographs, he was probably making sure he wasn't late. Those of us who were there took no offense. Though many of us were bugged by how short the show was, we blamed the producers, not Jaime Camil.
As for not reading the blogs past a certain time, I'm glad that works for some people but right before my quitting time is my best chance to read here. I also have to point out (hopefully this comes out kindly because I don't mean it harshly) that this is posted as a spoiler-free zone, so it never occurred to me that someone would do that.
I understand getting excited, maybe a solution that would work for everyone is that, if someone absolutely cannot wait until the next day's posting to make a comment, perhaps the courtesy of a spoiler warning would help those of us who are still waiting for the episode to air, so we'll know not to read any farther.

Thanks so much for the 6 Flags You Tube video!
Jaime looked really, really good in those tight blue jeans!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow!
I was sorry the time was so short but more than that, I could barely hear him because of all the girls screaming.

Kim P., I know what you mean about spoilers. I used to live in Hawaii, and the news guys would warn us that if we planned to watch the taped broadcasts of games played earlier, to turn off the sound because they were going to show clips and announce scores. There were lots of moments like that living in Hawaii, which is six hours behind the east coast during DST.
