Caray, Caray!

Capitulo 179.
Read Julie’s original recap, then come back here to discuss it.

1. With the torture session finished, Marcia leaves. For Fernando, everything boils over. He screams, “LETY!” In Acapulco it reverberates in Lety’s core, and her world freezes.

2. Fernando tells the bartender that he’s the lowest kind of trash. He lost the woman he loves and he lost everything (remember what PG said?). It’s a cute, funny scene. Fern cries over Lety’s picture and gets sloppy drunk.



3. Caro tries to disappear and Lety is reluctant to be alone with Aldo. She tells him, “It seems that you want more than a friendship, and I can’t allow anyone to make a mockery of me.” He says he’d like nothing better than to be loved by a woman like her, but he can’t.

4. Aldo tells his story. He was happily married to Lenore for four years. She died in a wreck, holding hands with his best friend. Now Lety can see why Aldo can’t face falling in love again.

5. Lety encounters Tio Federico. She tells him Fern deceived her and made her feel like garbage. He says she deserves to be happy. He gives her a fatherly hug.





6. The taxista pours Fern into his cab, and he shows off Lety’s picture. That’s four people in one night! He says the board will thrash him because the woman he loves delivered his head. That’s exactly what Marcia told him, and it’s what prompted this binge.

7. Lety dreams that Aldo comes to her room late and starts kissing her hungrily. She wants to resist but her hunger wins out. The dream disturbs her.

8. In the morning Caro wants the chisme. Lety felt like Caro pushed her to have a fling with Aldo. Caro says Aldo obviously likes her, and she should enjoy herself.

Lety says that Fernando looks a lot like Tio Federico (played by Jaime Camil Sr.), even more than his own father. I'll let you decide for yourself.

Capitulo 180.
Read Alma’s original recap, then come back here to discuss it.

1. Aldo takes Lety diving. Afterwards she sits in wonder. Ariel pointedly reminds her that it was worthwhile to get over her fear. Aldo laughs with total abandon. He tells her she carries the immensity of the universe insider her, or something like that.



2. Caro opens the pageant for ordinary women and she emphasizes that what matters is attitude.

3. Irmita’s kids tell Luigi they want her to retire and come to the US with them. She calls a meeting of the cuartel for advice.

4. Fernando arrives at the meeting a mess and still a little drunk. Humberto shouts at Tom throughout. Ariel says Conceptos could be permanently transferred into FI’s hands any day now. Lety needs to sign the documents to stop the process. Marcia, Ariel, and Humberto are sure Lety wants to keep Conceptos.

5. Fern tells the board their accusations are ridiculous. Humberto tells him to shut up, he hasn’t learned anything from his error, and his stupidity has no end. Ariel says his new business venture failed for lack of new capital, and Fernando lost his patrimonio. Humberto calls his son useless. Fernando cries.

6. Lety realizes that it doesn’t matter if the cup is plastic or crystal. What matters it what’s inside. She says, “Ay, Aldo, como te quiero.” (Note she shifted from usted to tú.)
