Caray, Caray!

Read Kim's original recap. That recap covers Caps 28 through 30-A. Start at the section heading, "Missing Recap 2: Oh, it was just a massage." Finish Cap 29 at the section heading that reads, “Missing Recap 4: At Conceptos, all news is bad news."

Capitulo 29

1. Carolina gives Fernando a massage to help him relax, but Lety thinks it’s something more personal, so she prevents his parents from entering his office.

2. Luigi cancels the event because of the video camera. Fernando orders Luigi to do the show. Lui tells the dancers to go home. Fern orders Luigi to obey him, and he tells Marcia Lui isn’t indispensible. He’ll just use another director. Luigi quits and says the world will know.

3. Marcia says this will ruin them. She’s furious because Luigi IS the prestige of Conceptos, and Fernando just caused him to quit. Marcia begs and begs until Luigi agrees to stay.

4. Lety has a fantasy that Fernando holds her close because he needs her total support when everything is falling appart. Marcia comes in and rebukes him for cutting costs at the expense of everything else.

5. The lights fail because Fernando didn’t rent a generator. The recording failed because the cheap CineRent tape was defective. The AdAge journalist says the best he can do is not write anything about Conceptos.

6. The cuartel gets a picture with Benny. Omar gets some personal attention with Paula.

7. Lui wants Fernando to admit that his mistakes made them lose everything, and to apologize. Fernando arrogantly refuses to apologize, and won’t even admit that the night was a disaster. Luigi quits again. Even Marcia quits, since he overrules her on everything.

Capitulo 30

Kim's original recap for Cap 30 starts at this link , at the section heading that reads, “Missing Recap 4: At Conceptos, all news is bad news." The Cap 30 recap finishes at this link, at the section heading, "Missing Recap 6: What's more embarrassing."

1. The cuartel drools over a galán (Jorge Salinas) who comes into Reception, until they discover he’s there for Luigi. Later they whine because they were so disillusioned.

2. The Benny video customers are taking their business elsewhere. Fernando has to face his parents when they question him about his decisions which contributed to the night’s disaster.

3. Ariel harasses Omar and Alicia, noting that Omar’s fidelity is matched by Alicia’s intelligence.

4. Carolina advises Fernando to do whatever necessary to get Luigi back. He could do a lot of damage to Conceptos’ image, and agencies won’t hire Conceptos without him. Fernando refuses to beg Luigi; he wants Luigi to know who’s the boss.

5. Omar tries to convince Fernando too. He doesn't want to kneel/beg (arrodillarse). Fern vows, he has never [reconciled? Marta, help!] in his life, and certainly not when he’s right. He says, “I don’t know how.” Omar tells him it’s time to learn something new.

6. The cuartel goes out to celebrate that Lety will be in charge, and they get very drunk. Lety is depressed because of Fernando awful night. Tomás goes out with Roman, but Roman just uses him to pay the bill. Tom doesn’t even sit with the girl.

7. In the gay bar, Fernando assures Luigi he’ll come back from LA with lots of work. Luigi says that the biggest problem is that he was humiliated. He offers a wager:
A. If Conceptos does not lose business, Luigi will use the video camera.
B. If Conceptos DOES lose business, Fernando will get him a 35mm camera AND compete in a festival for the "Queen of the Night" (e.g. Fernando will go in drag).
