La Fea Más Bella #123-124 12/10/10 Runaway disk.
Capitulo 123.
Read Amanda’s original recap, then come back here to discuss it.
1. Lety asks Saimon to ship the disk to Fernando’s parents, but don’t tell anyone. Fern is back to relying on Omar’s “wisdom.” Omar tells him to watch Lety’s DVD. He hears, “The future Mr. and Mrs. Mora in your future house.” Omar says she must’ve read the letter and is going to marry Tomás and take Conceptos for vengeance, but Fernando says Lety would never do such a thing.
2. Saimon told Paco that the women are up to something tonight, and the men need to find out what. The cuartel invites Lety out with them tonight, but Lety says she’s going out with her novio.
3. Fernando is super snotty with Lety. She asks him what’s bothering him and he won’t answer her. She can’t figure out what she’s done wrong. Omar tells Fern to confront Tomás. Fern doesn’t know what he could say, and Omar tells him to scare Tom off.
4. Tom is upset because he invested in Australian timber land and it burned. He’s afraid Lety will fire him.
5. We have a new record! Eight continuous minutes of the cuartel, Efren, and Jazmín.
6. Again Lety tries to find out why Fernando is angry. She asks, “Are we going out tonight?” and he turns his back on her. She says, “I get it; you don’t even want to look at me,” and she leaves, crying. He continues his tantrum. She tells the cuartel that her novio is mad at her and won’t tell her why, and they invite her to go out with them tonight to cheer her up.
Capitulo 124.
Read Julie’s original recap, then come back here to discuss it.
Beware of spoilers in the comments section. The recap is fine, just not the comments.
1. Tomás is afraid to return Fernando’s call; he’s afraid it’s about the Australian trees. Fernando picks up his phone and shouts, “Desgraciado! What are you trying to do with Lety?” But it’s Marcia! She pitches a tirade and tells him, “Do what you want with Lety!” Well, at least now he has Marcia’s permission!
2. Lety marches through his office, and he just glares at her. When she’s in the cave, he broods over the Lety/Tomás picture and plays with his toy car, the one thing he CAN control.
3. Lety and the cuartel leave. Alicia runs to Lopez to tattle on them for leaving early. He says that officially, it’s past quitting time, although they usually stay much later.
4. Saimon wants to take the packet to Lety because it needs a postal code, but Fernando demands to see it. Saimon doesn’t want to surrender the packet because he gave Lety his word as a gentleman, but Fernando threatens his job. Rotten schnook!
5. Fernando reports to Omar that Lety is sending a disk to his parents. He’s worried that she found the letter, and for revenge, she’s not only marrying Tomás, but also telling his parents about the embargo, etc. Viewing the second DVD seems to confirm his suspicions. He starts to think that he should ask Lety herself (duh!).
6. Tom calls Fernando and stutters and stammers about trees in Australia. Fernando laughs and ends the call. He tells Omar that it’s confirmed, Tom is an idiot. Fernando is going to find out from Lety for himself (IOW he’s ignoring Omar’s advice again).
7. Alicia informs Fernando that Lety went to Solo Para Mujeres (SPM) and he blows his stack again. Paco and Saimon overhear it as well. Irma and Lety don’t want to enter the show, but the others twist their arms. Fern tells Omar, who laughs as he imagines Sergio Mayer dancing sensually for Lety (Sergio used to be in SPM).
8. Alicia reports to Marcia that Fernando was upset when he heard that Lety was going to SPM. Marcia orders Ali to follow him.

Omar should wear a T-shirt that says, “The cameraman went to the Hofffbrau Haus, but all I saw was this dumb beer poster.”
Notice that when Fernando gets angry, Lety doesn’t grovel like Marcia.
Fernando thinks Lety found the letter, and he doesn’t even wonder how it affected her, only how it could affect him. Selfish, selfish, selfish. Remember back when he worried, “If she found out, she could die of sadness”?

This was probably the only time during the show that I really disliked Fern. He, who claims to be so concerned about Lety's feeling, dumps on her mercilessly. I was surprised that when he told Omar he was dying of jealousy Omar did not react with some snotty comment. Omar is right to tell him to confront Tomas and since the tape was in plain view it made sense to check it out. However our somewhat doltish duo misread what it is all about. Conscience pangs anyone? Talk about jumping to conclusions.
God spare us anymore of the cuartel and Solo Para Mujeras. I thought it was hilarious how much free publicity Jamie is giving his brother in law's little show.
Once again Lety is in wet blanket mode. She is so desperate to get away from Fern that she agrees to go with the hens and doesn't bother to ask where they are headed, then flips and starts whining. How old is she supposed to be anyway five or twenty five.

Did anyone else notice that for most of these two episodes Fernando did not get out of his chair? For someone so hyper that must have been an endurance test.
I did not enjoy Fernando's pouting I thought at this stage in the "relationship" he could try and ask her instead of jumping to conclusions. As least Lety tried to find out what was wrong with him but he just kept shutting her down which made her revert to wet blanket mode.

Fea has a few pivotal moments in which one decision changes everyone’s future profoundly. I wonder if today actually could have been a pivotal moment.
Fernando used to control everything: the presidency, Marcia, his harem, and the false relationship with Lety. In fact, he started the relationship in order to control her.
But now things are different. His orientation is becoming all Lety, at least until Omar & Marcia return. Fernando doesn’t control the relationship anymore; he’s conquered and he NEEDS her. He has trouble admitting that vulnerability to himself or to her. He missed her when she wasn’t in the cave (she was in Editing), but it was hard for him to admit it. In the train station he almost said he loves her, but he couldn’t spit it out.
Lety ponders again, “I should break up with Fernando but I can’t.” What would happen if she did? What if she made a clean break right now because she refuses to be the amante? Would Fernando split with Marcia to get Lety back? I know it’s extreme, but the conditions have never been better.
A. Fernando is at Lety’s mercy; he’s conquered; he’s in love and he’s got it bad. If he lost her right now, he’d feel even more acutely just how much he loves her (you know the worth of water when the well runs dry).
B. Marcia and Omar are not there to confuse him; he’s virtually free of their influence.
C. Marcia left with their relationship in danger. She wasn’t even sure whether the wedding was on or off. The thread holding Fern and Marcia together has never been thinner.
If Lety split because Fernando’s spoken for, would he be clear thinking enough right now, to see that he wants Lety more than anything else, even if canceling the wedding means losing the presidency?

As you know if Lety split from Fern there would be no show to speak of since that damning letter is still sitting in Fern's briefcase ready to explode at the most inopportune time. It would be too easy for them if she broke it off since both of them have to pay for any happiness that may be in the future (the cardinal rule in Novelaland).
The thing I find fascinating this time around is how clueless these men are. Fern offhandedly tells Lety he loves her and admits to himself that he is happy around her and has never felt like this before But, i don't think in his own mind he knows that he is really in love for the first time in his life. The problem for men like Fern and Omar who have always reeled in the ladies with their looks and charm that when they fall they go fast and deep and have no idea how to handle it which naturally results in them mucking up the works and doing the wrong things.
I also never noticed before how dependent Fern is on other people's advice. How many times did he call Omar after viewing the tape. For someone who is president of a company he is the most indecisive leader i've ever seen. It is as if he has no real confidence in himself which could be traced back to the Mendiola seniors.

Thanks Paula, Amanda and Julie. I never paid attention before to thomas so it was interesting to learn that he was upset because of the fire in Australia. It was funny when Fern hung up after finally talking to him and called him an idiot.

Paula, too funny about a T-shirt for Omar. Every time the guy comes on screen with his frauleins he makes me laugh.
For some reason I'm not that bothered (yet) by Lety's childishness. Maybe from working in the high tech industry I know too many people who are incredibly smart and together in some ways but who exhibit amazing arrested development in others, specifically as regards social skills. Fern's petulance, on the other hand, irked me because it seemed very self-centered and made me feel like he was backsliding. I wonder why I'm so willing to cut Lety some slack but not as open-minded about doing the same for Fernando?
Jenn, now that you mention it Fern's being glued to his seat for so many scenes is very unusual.
Thanks for pointing that out.
Thanks Paula and others for the Thursday and Friday recaps and comments. It was a long weekend away from wifi but I enjoyed catching up with the two days of epiosdes. However now I'm too tired to comment intelligently so it's off to bed for me.

Welcome back, Sylvia. I always look forward to your posts right before I go to bed, so I missed you Thur & Fri.
As a part-time nitpicker, I was annoyed by the bar scenes, the way they spliced shots of the actual Hofbrau Haus with scenes of Omar on some cheesy set, as if we wouldn't notice the difference. Also that two babes would be eager to share a guy who won't share his beer, spends their time together counseling his caller how to deceive women, and whose idea of flirting is snorting.
Don't miss this week, Sylvia. Especially Mon, Tues, Wed. You'd never forgive yourself.

Silvia I think it is hilarious that you are willing to cut Lety some slack for her childish behavior and not Fern for his regression since I on the other hand am exactly the opposite. I refuse to cut her slack and am giving him rope to hang himself. Perhaps it is because i expect better of women. LOL Oh and he is so gorgeous (OK that was shallow)
