Capitulo 8
Read Chris's original recap. Note, that recap covers Episodes 7, 8, and 9. Cap 8, the second hour of today’s show, begins at “Lety wants to say that the work was hers.” Stop at “Saimon the dapper messenger.” That begins Cap 9.

1. Sara asserts that if the right woman showed up, a different type of woman, then adios, wedding.

2. Ariel thinks Fern’s projections are faulty and demands his business plan. Fernando’s projection said he would double profits, but his goals are almost impossible. If he fails, Ariel becomes president.

3. Marcia tells Lety to shut up about the report, or else. She says no other woman will be an executive, and secretaries remain secretaries.

4. Humberto warns Fernando to resist temptations and keep the business clean and honest, so he’ll be able to sleep at night.

5. Lety tells Mama that she wants to quit before she’s fired. At the retirement party, Alicia wants to meet Marcia’s rich brother.

6. Omar and Fernando discuss Alicia’s report. If Alicia can do that, they can’t afford two secretaries. Fernando would’ve sworn it was Lety’s work.

7. Fernando assigns Alicia to make a business plan in two days. See the transcript. Marcia is stunned that she doesn’t know how. Alicia is months behind on all her debts.

8. Fernando discovers a major error in his projection. Olarte discovered it too, and he reports it to Ariel, who wants to reverse the presidency decision.

9. At the Candelaria (Candlemas) tamale celebration, Fernando tells Alicia to finish the business plan by tomorrow.

Spanish Lesson

Fernando assigns the business plan report.
A: The originals are in her (Lety’s) office.
F: In Lety’s office? But why? Didn’t you work with those reports? Why does Lety have them?
A: Um, well, I put them back there because they are more secure in her office. Also, she’s in charge of the archives.
L: I’ll get them right away. Omar works on Alicia.
F: Omar and I have to produce a very detailed business plan… Which of you can do it?
Alicia is clueless. Fernando explains what it needs to include.
A: Oh! Fine. I think Lety can do it.
L: Me? No, it’s better that you do it. Like that previous report. Certainly it would be good for it to stay with you, right?
F: Whatever. I don’t care. Alicia, you have a new opportunity to show off for me.When will you have it ready?
A: Well, give me a week. F: No, no. I’m not pressuring you. If you want, I’ll give you a month. A: Oh! Yeah! A month!
F: The day after tomorrow, at the latest. I need to review and confidently verify the financial earnings figures, so that Ariel doesn’t [?]. You have all the information. All you have to do is process it. What’s the problem? Two days, eh? Now you only have 47 hours. Run!
to Omar Let’s go review everything to find where that supposed error is. Lety leaves.
O: She seems like she doesn’t care about keeping her job, huh? She should realize that at any moment she could be fired. If Alicia does the business plan well, I believe Lety will be excess, don’t you?
F: Yes. You know what? Lety is being very odd.
O: No, she’s been odd since birth.
F: Lety! LETY! She comes running. He complains about her invading his space.
F: Tell me something. Y quiero la verdad, eh? (Those are Fernando’s magic truth-serum words. No one can resist!) Did Alicia create the report we presented to the committee? Or did you do it?
L: If Doña Alicia gives you a good business plan, then that will confirm that she also created the committee report. Right? Fernando smiles & nods knowingly.
