La Fea Más Bella #101-102 11/23/10 Odious Home-work.
Capitulo 101.
Read Amanda’s original recap, then come back here to discuss it.
1. Celso tells the cuartel that Fernando fought some toughs in the street, and Alicia claims that he was defending her. Fern laughs at the very idea of fighting for Ali, and he tells Lety that he was fighting for her. He saw Roman and he couldn’t stand it, so Fernando gave him what he deserved. Lety’s walking on air.
2. Luigi tells Fernando that they have another project, an underwear commercial. With a horse. For once I’m glad for double episodes. How many projects do they have on their plate now?
a. Bella Life Jewelry commercial, with a big penalty if it’s late.
b. Sport Wind, for which they’re going to Germany.
c. Paty Mentarola’s project that Luigi agreed to help on.
d. The Yuri / Mijares benefit concert.
e. A celebration event for the Cannes nomination.
f. The underwear commercial.
Remember when Conceptos had NO projects? Loving Lety is good for business!
3. Lety imagines that Super Fernando rescues her from Snidely Roman and his nogoodniks. What a fun fantasy! But she drops out of the clouds when Fernando’s parents ask her to help them choose a house for a wedding gift for Fern and Marcia.
4. Fernando is still in the clouds, thinking about Lety and wondering why he feels so different. He goes into the cave and reminds her how special their night was. Lety says it’s because she loves him. He wants to take her out again tonight because he’s hungry for more of that Lety Luvin’. She turns him down because of the call from Teresita.
5. Omar calls Fern and asks if he got the red bag. Fern can’t find it on Omar’s desk, and Sara denies that she saw it.
Capitulo 102.
Read Julie’s original recap, then come back here to discuss it.
1. Omar tells Fernando that the bag includes a letter that tells Fernando what to do while he’s gone, and warns of the consequences if he doesn’t. Fernando rebukes him for leaving such a dangerous thing out in the open. Omar says, “If the letter falls into the wrong hands, you’re finished. It’s the end of the world as we know it.”
2. Fernando questions Sara and Lety about the red bag. He tells Sara it’s Omar’s lab samples (medical), and he tells Lety it’s a matter of life and death. After everyone leaves, he searches the building.
3. Paula’s not willing to tell her son about her relationship with Saimon yet.
4. Lety is upset about the wedding house assignment. Julieta again asks Lety what’s going on in her life, what’s she hiding. Again Lety denies. Mama knows the house hunting hurts Lety.
5. Tomas teases, “Don’t tell me, you’re going to take Conceptos from Fernando?” He says she’s upset because her beloved Fernando is getting married, but he offers to help her with house hunting.
6. The attorneys threaten to embargo Alicia’s car, and her papa tells her to sell jewels. Although she says that would kill her, she ends up gathering them to sell.
7. They go look at a house and Tomás acts stupid with a-Dora-ble.
8. MamaJ & Pop remember falling in love, as they listen to “their song,” José José’s Amor, Amor.. (What an incredible range he once had! What was he? Alto? Tenor? Bass? YES!)

Fern was technically right in ripping into Omar for the incriminating letter. However in Omar's defence the letter was in an envelope, in a bag that was stapled shut and addressed to Fern and in Omar's office not in the snake pit inhabited by the cuartel. Had it not been for nosy Sara and Lety the bag and it's damning contents would be safe. After watching the craziness i can't help wondering - is there no one that Lety doesn't lie to? Now she is lying to Fern about having not seen the bag.
Poor deluded Ali she somehow manages to turn everything to her self. Fern fought the nacos for her. She in her own way is as desperate and needy as Marcia.
I was actually surprised at how fast Celso blabbed. Does no one in Conceptos have the faintest idea of what the word description means.
Loved the little scene with Julietta and Erasmo talking about the past while hearing Jose Jose in the background. He did have a great voice I suspect in the baritone range and I've got a couple of his CD's which I really like.

Thanks Paula, Amanda and Julie. Celso had a lot of time in these two episodes. I thought the scene in Fernandos office with Samson, Celso and Fernando was pretty fun.
Hey Judy B. Did you notice the women playing Dora at the house Lety was looking at? I am pretty certain it was the same actress who played Claudia in Dinero. Once she started talking on the phone to her friend Maltilda I recognized the voice. She sure looked different as a brunette.
I never realized the music that was playing for Erazmo and Julietta was Jose Jose. That really was a sweet scene.
So were Fernandos Shoes really squeaky today? In Lety's office you could really heat it when he was swaying and again when he was looking for the red bag in Omar's office.

In the cave, Fernando draws very close to Lety, remembering their night together. But Lety pulls away with thoughts of Marcia, and Fernando is pulled away by Omar’s call. IOW alone they have a beautiful relationship, but outsiders, especially Marcia and Omar, pull them apart. But now those outsiders will be an ocean away.
Watch for supressed laughs in Cap 101 when Luigi is with Fern in Fern’s office.
Notice that Lety is separate from the cuartel, more and more daily. The cuartel has hot gossip and Lety is in the vortex with them, but she ignores the gossip and pulls Sara away to talk to her. Watch the trend in coming caps.
In the last scenes, we see Lety surrounded by her treasures who made her who she is: her parents and Tomás. Then we ping-pong to Alicia surrounded by her treasures which she got from her mother and which form her identity: her jewelry. On the phone with her papi, several times Alicia mentions the importance of image. Of course she hangs onto it tenaciously - it's all she has.

And the sad thing about Alicia hanging onto her image is that she doesn't even realize that it's already a shambles.
Pata, it's funny you mentioned the squeaky shoes - I'd forgotten all about them, but you reminded me. It's not the last time you'll hear them. At one point they were noisy enough that I think I mentioned them in a recap. (This was still relatively early in my recapping "career," and I didn't yet know just how poor the sound engineering can be in some telenovelas. Like the echoey rooms with vaulted ceilings in Heridas de Amor, or a particularly loud fountain in FELS.)

Regarding the music, any time you hear Mama Julieta singing to herself, it's one of her hits from back in the day.
Decie Girl, I agree, Lety has surrendered her honesty. Actually, Fernando has methodically broken every one of the morals she had when she arrived at Conceptos. He was first drawn to her by her high ethics and trustworthiness. Does he really want his Lety to be capable of such dishonesty and wrongdoing?
Telenovela justice dictates that Lety will have to pay for her sins, but so will Fernando. The Book says, "whoever causes one of these little ones .. to sin, it would be better for him .. to be drowned in the depth of the sea."
I deliberately keep the list of scene notes very short, but I try to at least touch on everything that matters. Those of you with limited Spanish, if there is a line or conversation you can't understand and you want to know, and it's not covered in my summary nor the old recaps, just ask. If I can't answer, there are others on the board with better Spanish than mine. I remember when I first watched, I'd go crazy trying to understand certain conversations. Don't go crazy!

Hi...and thanks one and all. This is such a collaborative effort.
Pata...I was listening to the show today on my headphones because I was making pies for my daughter Julie to take with her to Charlotte. And I heard THAT voice and thought...I KNOW that actress....who is it? Thanks for clearing up the mystery.
I hate the whole red bag story line so I was happy I had no time to watch today.

Thanks Paula for coordinating yet another wonderful recap. I loved how Lety was so proud when she heard Fernando fought for her honor, sigh. Her fantasies are always awesome. I like how she dismissed the other girls from her fantasy, nice touch.
I usually FF through the subplots but I always enjoy Julieta and Erasmus. It was hilarious when Lety discovered them with the windows all fogged up. They are a very cute family.

Now that Fernando and Lety are happy together, now that nothing BETWEEN them separates them, we'll start seeing EXTERNAL factors pulling them apart. Such as lunch with Marcia, Teresita's assignment, and Fernando's suspicions over the red bag.
Many novelas have a lot of plot progress in the beginning to set up the plot, then a long, long middle where nothing important happens, then significant progress in the last two weeks. Fea, OTOH, takes us through phases of about 30 caps each, do there is always some sort of progress going on. So far we've had:
1. The gal proves herself to be indispensible to Fernando, and he entrusts her with the shadow company.
2. Fernando makes a lot of mistakes, Lety rescues him a lot, and the embargo is finalized.
3. The false romance
4. The true romance, so happy together.
Fernando wants to be alone with Lety tonight, but Mr. Smooth Operator suddenly is as awkward as a schoolboy. I think it’s that he knows how to seduce conquests, but Lety’s not a conquest, she’s a woman he loves. And he has no experience there, so he doesn’t know what to do.

That SuperDonFernando fantasy was hilariously awesome, but why are the kisses so much worse in Lety's fantasy than they are in reality? Let yourself dream right, honey!
I also loved Fernando's Pepe Le Pew-style flirting in Lety's closet. It was such a dead-on mimicry of Pepe's style that I thought it had to be deliberate.

Could not help thinking yesterday that Lety was a fool. Fern wants to spend some romantic time with her and both Omar and Marcia are safely out of the country. She had a chance to perhaps go to Fern's place with him. Such a missed opportunity - for Lety and for we voyeurs. LOL
