La Fea Más Bella #113-114 12/3/10 Tomorrow's gonna' be a brighter day.
Read Amanda’s original recap, then come back here to discuss it.
1. Pilar decides to stay in bed and not go to the commercial shoot because she’s afraid of horses. Fernando fears that if they can’t make the commercial, it will be the end of Conceptos.
2. Tomás sneaks into the club. Alicia is turned out because she didn’t pay her club dues.
3. Sara pursues the security guard. He ignores her like a Buckingham Palace guard.
4. Julieta cries because she forgot the salsa.
5. Pilar arrives and complains about everything
Capitulo 114.
Read Julie’s original recap, then come back here to discuss it.
1. Pilar rejects the hair and makeup planned for the shoot. She refuses to wear the cape the client requires. She says that if they don’t do it her way, she quits.
2. Lety tells Fernando he should call Luigi for advice on how to handle divas. Fernando doesn’t want to because he can’t stand for Luigi to see him helpless, but finally he relents and calls Luigi.
3. Sara pursues the security guard.

For me, this was the very worst phase of the show. But the good news is, it'll NEVER AGAIN get this bad! There's one horrible cap late in the series (it involves a loan), but that's only one cap. And there is a 12-cap section in the 200's where there is zero plot progress, but the episodes are fun anyway. (Heck! MEPS went for MONTHS with no plot progress!)
We're still in the horse commercial Monday, but the episodes are better. We get some wonderful, memorable episodes next week (spoiler-free hint: it includes a soccer game), and the following week, all I can say is, BURNINATING!!!
The scene with Sara and the guard was almost painful to watch. I've always found the cuartel annoying but in that scene they were almost a disgrace to womenkind everywhere.
As Paula says there are parts of LFMB that drag with nothing much happening, I'm thinking about some things with the cuartel and much later in the show. However when things do move they are often fantastic and worth sitting through the dead and boring parts. Unfortunately it happens in almost all novelas.
Can't decide what I found more annoying today. Thomas following Alicia around, Pilar, or the caurtal.
Couple of cute scenes with Fernando and Lety but not much else. Also the flashback was nice.
Thanks to all for your efforts.

Have fun and enjoy revisiting this fun novela. I don't have episodes before Nov 10th, as this is when I started recording them.
Thanks,

Don't think I'm arguing with you; I'm not. I just get curious. I see these various numberings here and there, and I wonder where they come from. You're the first person I've found who might know.
I also thought Fernando's cape-throwing scene was about the funniest ever. I had to rewind and watch again. However my most favorite scene was the one that has been mentioned, Fern's flashback. He's seriously smitten.
Thanks Paula and others for the fun recaps.
Also, I feel like I've been in that situation, trying to get the attention of someone inscrutable. ;-)
But I remember being exasperated by it back in the day, because the horse commercial was an unexpected departure from the BLF story. With the main plot seemingly suspended during all this horsey nonsense, there was a lot of suspense as to what would happen next.
I'm with you. The commercial bothers me less, this time around. The first time, I was so annoyed by three caps of blither, that I mostly stopped listening throughout the shoot. This time I simply skipped the awful caps, and I discovered that the 2nd half of the commercial has some good stuff.
