Caray, Caray!

Read Kim's original recap, the section called “Missing Recap 37: Our Lady of *belch*.” Then come back here to discuss it.

Capitulo 55

1. The cuartel co-diets with Marta for solidarity. Marta tells Lety she only told Fernando that Tom is Lety’s friend. Paula teases that Lety wants to hide it from Fern so he won’t give up on winning her.

2. Fernando reports to Omar that Tom isn’t interested in Lety, but that $40M could certainly attract him. Lety returns and Fernando is peeved at her.

3. Omar starts working Carolina until she says “pregnancy.”

4. At the venue, Fernando tells Omar what Juana said. See the transcript. They conclude that if Lety is in love with Tomás, he could manipulate her to get his hands on Conceptos. Omar says that the only way to avoid it is to make Lety fall in love with Fernando. Fern tells him to stop talking so crazy.

5. Marcia and Fernando fight about Fatima. Marcia orders him to fire one of the two (Fatima or Lety).

6. Fernando solves the audio problem by fanning the equipment.

7. The cuartel sees Alicia’s results – she’s not pregnant. Sara can’t wait to tell Omar. They beg Lety to get them into the event.

8. Luigi discovers that Fatima is drunk, and he fires her.

Capitulo 56

Read Kim's original recap, the section called “Missing Recap 38: Pregnant Anticipation.” Then come back here to discuss it.

1. Fernando tells Fatima to leave. Luigi says he hates supporting Fernando, but he can’t tolerate a drunk dancer. Felix, the choreographer, has his moment of fame, throwing a funny tantrum.

2. Fernando puts Jazmín into Fatima’s slot. Marcia is still pissy because he didn’t fire Fatima soon enough to suit her. Fern says, “You got the head you wanted. I hope you’re happy.” Luigi says he’s not jumping for joy either. (You hear Camil laugh at Sergio’s antics. The camera returns to them, and Camil has arranged his face but Elizabeth [Marcia] hasn’t.)

3. Marcia harasses Fernando in front of his parents, saying that one of the dancers got drunk because some galán promised her heaven and earth, seduced her, than discarded her. Ariel says, “Las tantitas no aprendan (the fools never learn),” and he pointedly looks at Marcia.

4. Carolina counsels Omar. He feels responsible for his child, but he doesn’t feel ready to man up. She tells him his conscience is disturbing him and he needs to face Alicia.

5. Ariel is desperate to get rid of Alicia, so he agrees to set her up in Miami with $5K per month plus expenses. Omar offers Alicia his name, financial support, and involvement in his son’s life, but not marriage. Alicia prefers things over people, so she takes Ariel’s offer.

6. Planning the night’s schedule with Ricky and Vidal, Fernando performs a 60-second dance without music. What fun!

7. Alicia finds out from Lopez that the lab ran a pregnancy test and Marta saw the results.

8. They won’t let the cuartel enter the event because they don’t have invitations. Saimon informs Fernando. Marcia is pissy. Omar says it’s unwise to keep the owner of the company out of the event.

Tune in tomorrow!
One dream ends, one dream begins, one dream is both delightful and dreadful.

Spanish Lesson. Cap 55, The Only Solution.
Just like yesterday, I wrote today’s Spanish Lesson because I had already transcribed it a few years ago. It’s a pretty loose translation.

F: Juana can read the future. And she said that she’s in love.
O: You’ve already told me that.
F: I’m setting up the story. Juana predicted that Lety would change his life, and he’d change hers.
O: You’re going to believe somebody telling fortunes?
F: There are too many coincidences. Lety’s life is changing, and so is Tom’s. He’s working for FI.
O: You mean Lety intends to win him (conquistar) by giving him work?
F: Yes. Hey! Even before FI, she tried to get him a job at Conceptos. Since that didn’t work, she set him up in FI. He’s not a millionaire, but it seems like he has some money. And now he’s involved with millions of dollars, since FI owns Conceptos.
O: If Lety is in love with him, he’ll manipulate her however he wants. Lety could betray us to get the love of her life.
F: If he manipulates her a su antojo (manipulates her at will / manipulates her desires), Adios, Conceptos.
O: Tomás could give love to Lety in exchange for the company. Love for $40M.
F: No, Lety is very loyal. It sounds horrible, but it could be true, right? But wait! Juana said she would achieve a dream in the middle of a storm. And we’re in a storm! The dream would be romance with that guy. But Lety is loyal. But how far could a woman go for love?
O: Someone as ugly as Lety would make a deal with the devil for the miracle of getting a husband.
F: What do we do so this guy doesn’t take advantage of Lety?
O: Pues, es muy sencillo. Tienes q competir contra Tomas Mora. (Well, it’s very simple. You have to compete against Tomás Mora.)
F: (Laughs hysterically.) No. Seriously. now. What do we do so this guy doesn’t take advantage of Lety?
O: Why, take her away from him. You should make Lety fall in love with you. (Debes enamorar a Lety.) I’m serious.
F: What are you, high? We can talk tomorrow when you’re sober.
O: No. You have to enamorar a Lety.
Meanwhile Lety is mooning at Fernando’s picture She remembers Juana saying, “The predictions are coming true, right?”
Lety to herself: No. No, because the man of my dreams will never take notice of me. Never.
