Caray, Caray!

Capitulo 173.
Read Julie's original recap, then come back here to discuss it.

1. Irmita is reluctant to tell her children that Rafael came home to die because it will just awaken their old pain, but Luigi says they have a right to know.

2. Lety tells Caro that she told her whole life to a fisherman she just met because she felt totally comfortable with him. She’s obviously enchanted with him.

3. Fern calls MamaJ and says they need Lety for a meeting with the lawyers. He begs for her phone number so he can explain it himself. All she can do is pass the message. She says, “Confie en mi.”

4. In Lety’s fantasy, Fernando walks across the lawn and says, “Lety, finally I found you. I miss you. I can’t live without you.” He almost kisses her, but then he transforms into Aldo and Lety is pleasantly surprised, and then he disappears. The bellas teach Lety how to walk.

5. Luigi and Marcia met with Ricky without Fern, and Ricky is surprised Fern didn’t attend. Fern says, “Our executive producer and director held the meeting without informing me.” Luigi acts like he and Marcia humiliated Fern. Fern rebukes Marcia privately and says she’s not playing by the rules. Marcia says he changed the rules when he slept with Lety.

6. MamaJ tells Lety what Fern said. Lety says she can’t leave and she sends Tomás in her place. Caro glows when she gets a surprise call from an old friend. Caro pushes Lety to wear one of Caro’s dresses. They meet Caro’s friend, who is Aldo. Lety and Aldo are again charmed, and Caro looks a smidge jealous.

7. Marcia asks Fern if Lety is coming to tomorrow’s meeting. She uses the opportunity to remind him that Lety delivered his head to the board and maybe she wants to disappear with their company. He returns to his one bright spot, gazing at Lety’s picture. MamaJ tells him Tom is going to the meeting. Fern shouts, “Is your daughter nuts?” Then he calms down and says, “Tell Lety not to hide. I need her.”

8. Caro asks Aldo, “Did you invite me so I’d bring Lety? You’re interested in her!” He only chuckles.

Capitulo 174.
Read Amanda's original recap, then come back here to discuss it.

1. Aldo admits to Caro that he’s drawn to Lety because she’s so innocent and so injured. Caro has known him 1-1/2 years and he’s always been a loner.

2. Marcia again speculates that Lety disappeared because she’s taking Conceptos for revenge. Fern says Lety is incapable of such a thing. She goads him with her favorite taunt, that he’s defending someone who betrayed him. She asks if he fell in love with Lety, and he doesn’t want to talk about it. Marcia demands and answer and finally he admits that yes, he loves Lety.

3. They’re enjoying dinner on the yacht (although Caro’s feeling left out) until the wine loosens Lety’s emotions and her great pain pummels her again. “He lied to me!” Soon she’s gushing about how happy she is here. Caro says they’re three loners. Caro says her house is empty because her obsession with work destroyed her three marriages.

4. Irmita says her son still refuses to talk to his father, but Luigi says she needs him now. The topic strikes a nerve for Luigi. He calls Jorge and implores him to come for his mother’s sake.

5. Aldo talks about his two “sons,” his book and his restaurant. Lety fishes in her purse and a photo falls out. Aldo picks it up and says, “So this is Fernando?” Lety wants her picture back RIGHT NOW and she says she doesn’t feel well; she wants to leave.

6. Lety tells Caro that her pain is too much to bear and she will never be free of it. She tells her whole story off camera. Caro tells her to stop thinking about that and enjoy the here and now, like their night on the yacht. Lety says that was a dream and she woke up, the same fea as always. Caro says yes, she’s the same Lety who is unwilling to change. Her insecurity is in the way she sees herself

7. Aldo tells Lety that her body reflects her soul and vice-versa. Lety runs down the beach in her dress. He shows her where the fresh and saltwater meet in an eternal kiss, and she gazes at him. He talks about the harmony of nature, and she says, “With you I feel harmony and peace.”
