La Fea Más Bella #185-186 1/26/11 NO, PANDORA! Noooooooooo!!!!!
Capitulo 185.
Read K-Fuego’s original recap, then come back here to discuss it.
1. Fausto says he was too stubborn and he’s missed his son. Aldo says he’s happy with the life he chose. Fausto gives him a 2-year-old letter.
2. Fernando is dragged out of the bar and returns for a third time, but he passes out. Libardo says he acted like he wanted someone to kill him. Marcia starts to take Fern home, and he says, “Marcia, you don’t deserve this.”
3. Aldo is afraid to read the letter from his cuñada. It says Lenora did it because she loved him too much and was afraid he didn’t love her, so she wanted to make him jealous. At least now he knows she did it for misguided love and not rejection. He asks Lety to stay on the beach with him to greet the dawn.
4. Julieta cries for Lety’s pain, and she cries because Lety told her diary instead of her. Erasmo is discouraged because he can’t find work, and he reaches for the tequila.
5. Fern asks for an exorcism because he can’t take it anymore. He doesn’t want to stay and impose on Marcia. She says that even though they’re finished, she can’t watch him destroy himself.
6. Lety and Aldo greet the dawn. They romp in the waves and he kisses her. In the WATER. They run back to the beach, and Aldo draws her to him again. Suddenly it’s Fernando and they share a long, intimate kiss that springs from Lety’s deep love. On the LAND. As she gazes at him in total contentment, he transforms back into Aldo who just received the kiss of his life. She gets flustered and scurries away.
7. Fern asks why their photo is still on the nightstand. Marcia says it’s not easy to throw away something very important to her, and the heart is a traitor. He asks for a hug. She says now it’s time to think about herself and forget about him.
8. Back in her room, Lety asks, “Why did I kiss Aldo like that if I love Fernando? The only kisses I desire are Fernando’s.” Meanwhile Aldo thinks about that kiss. He realizes that he’s cured; he’s able to love again.
9. In the morning, Marcia brings Fern breakfast and a suitcase to carry all his things away.
Capitulo 186.
Read Alma’s original recap, then come back here to discuss it.
1. Lety tells Caro that she and Aldo shared a (as in one) kiss, and she doesn’t want to see him again. She regrets it because she still loves Fernando. Caro asks if she’s holding out hope since he and Marcia broke up. Lety says no because he never liked (querer) her.
2. Marcia has a new haircut. She tells MamaT the suitcase was a test. If he takes everything, there’s no chance of them getting back together. Fern starts to pack, looks at his clothes, shakes his head slightly, and says, “No, it’s better to leave it here.” No, Pandora, Nooooo!!!!
3. Caro tells Lety why Aldo is a much better option. Lety says it’s very hard for her to believe in love again. Caro advises Lety to grab what life has offered. Aldo calls to arrange lunch. On the old recap Alma has a Freudian slip and calls him “Also.”
4. Ariel heaps a load of insults on Fern. A: Are you here to defend Lety? F: No, that finished. A: Do you accept that you gave the company to a fugitive? Fern doesn’t answer. A: Do you accept that that woman could be anywhere in the world squandering our patrimonio? F: Maybe.
5. By phone, Humberto tells the board to hire a criminal attorney to file charges against Lety because she stole the company. He tells Fern to talk to Lety’s family.
6. Tom tells the HaHA’s (Happy Hour Attorneys) that they need to reverse the judgment. Lety wants to return the company. The HaHA’s tell him that’s complicated, and they’d have to do it before the liquidation.
7. Fern calls MamaJ. The beating the luchadores gave him is nothing compared to RamboMom. She says he sent her daughter into this hell and destroyed her; it’s a miracle she’s still alive. She’s no thief; Tom is working to get the embargo reversed. It is Fernando who created this mess. She forbids him from calling her house again.
8. Tom tells the HaHA’s that Lety returns tomorrow. They insist that he explains the real story of FI.

PatA, thank you for the pictures!
I liked Alma's Freudian slip; she wrote "Also" instead of "Aldo."
Well, Fernando has finally hit rock bottom. Geesh! The board meeting almost seemed like a walk in the park by comparison! Well, maybe not. Anyhoo. His suicide attempt was like a death. He has been stripped of everything, even his hope in Lety. (I think he's still hanging onto faith in her; just not hope. What do you folks think?) He has passed through death, all his old life burned up, and now he's ready to be reborn, like the phoenix. Interesting that Lety also went through a death experience in Aca when she nearly drowned, and her rebirth started thereafter as well.
I said earlier that in Fea, Mexico City is the Real World, while Acapulco is a vacation spot, a place to retreat from the real world, but with a purpose - to heal, to recover, to recharge. So you can go back to the real world and be productive again. It's not an escape, it's a retreat.
Lety went to Aca to recover, and she knew it before she left. Fernando went to Aca to die, but Life had other plans. It will be the start of his recovery. Aldo went to Aca after his wife died, but it wasn’t to heal. He went to run away from the real world, and he intended to stay there. That’s not right. You can’t LIVE on vacation. You have to live in the real world, and Acapulco equips you to do that.

Fernando has not hit rock bottom yet. You would think so as he almost committed suicide in the bar, but....When he did not take his suitcase from Marcia's place, he left a door open to return to her. In other words, consciously or unconsciously, Fernando has created a fall-back plan. And that's what he has done in the past - fall-back on someone else to fix thngs. That's why Lety's FI had to buy into Conceptos to bail out Fernando. In the end, Lety is the one who is almost destroyed. Can you think what will happen to Marcia if Fernando tries to schmoze with her again. She loves him and he can be very convincing. Marcia might fall hook, line, and sinker and this time it could be her drowning. Fernando has to learn to pull himself up by his bootstraps and not have fall-back plans for others to bail him out. Grow up, Fernando, grow up. The bar scene was a perfect example. He doesn't want to face and deal with reality so he goes to looking for a fight with some burly men who could beat the snot out of him with one hand tied behind their backs. And he goes back for more and more, hoping they'd kill him. How's that for a grown-up plan?

I agree with Barbara, if this is Fern's rock bottom he has not learned anything. This time Marcia bails him out and he is grateful probably enough to get back together. I still see him looking for crutches. I was hoping like Lety who even with the help of Aldo and Caro had reached inside to discovered new things about herself. And Fernando bouncing back and forth between goofy and solemn does not help. When he went to Conceptos he should have been the broken man he was the night before not hamming it up with alicia and the curatel. I think he needs to be sober during this period for all those lessons to sink it and not play for laughs. He is not very reflective is he? Not that I want him to be all new agey like Aldo!

I think you're not getting much response today because for some reason today's recap blog isn't listed on the front page like all the others. I found it by looking up the old recaps...not sure if this is happening for some of the others who check here for the recaps.
Ok now onto the good stuff...
LOVED Alicia's reaction to Fern's face. Then the cuartel's reaction to her reaction...so freaking funny!
ANNOYED by Lety's facial ticks and expressions...ugh - sometimes they drive me crazy.
LOVED Julieta giving Fern the verbal smackdown today
HATED that Fern was so horrible/weak in these eps. I especially was disappointed that he left his things at Marcia's house. But as Paula H (or someone) pointed out - two steps forward, one step back. I felt like today's eps were like 15 steps back for him, but I digress. I'm not sure I see much of a re-birth in him yet.
SAD for Marcia today. I could really see today how much she loves Fern. It's probably the most I've seen it this entire series to-date. She is right - the heart is a traitor.
I understood Lety's guilt about kissing Aldo when she still loves Fern & is actively fantasizing about him (in the middle of the kiss). I think that she gets that it wouldn't be fair to Aldo to use him like she was used by Fern (maybe not for the same reasons, but I think in her mind it would still be using him when she has another man in her heart).
I didn't believe Aldo when he was emoting over the letter from his sis'n law, but I did believe his happiness on the beach post-kiss with Lety when he jumped into the sea. Juan Soler does that giddy, happy thing very well.
I really hate Teresita. She just drives me bananas. That is all I've got for now. Thanks for working so hard to get these re-caps up.

One more thought - do you think there's a special symbolism in the fact that Fern's hair was curly (not slicked back) when Lety fantasized about kissing him on the beach?
Alas Fern has not hit bottom, he has one more awful thing to do before that happens. I felt very sorry for him because he always believed absolutely, that Lety really loved him, the real him. Now with Ariel and Humberto and everyone else throwing heaps of disdain and accusations her way and her own refusal to call him he has lost the faith that kept him going. Now he can only believe that Marcia loves him and one hopes he won't settle for second best. Unfortunately I think he is spiritually beaten down and will take the path of least resistance.
Lety with all her tic's and pouty faces has gone over the top annoying. She also for the first time exhibited another unattractive trait. She is a bit of a dog in the manger. She tells Caro she isn't interested in Aldo, that way because she loves Fern but she gets all ugly face when a couple of the girls indicate that aldo is hot (not in my book).
I can't help wondering what she considers love when she destroys his life at the junta, causes a rift in his relationship with his father, gets the broken engagement she wants, throws a wedge in his lifelong friendship, steals his family business and then after getting the revenge she wants bolts for the beach and goes gaga over the first guy to come along. So much for her eternal love.
Interesting isn't it that Ariel the snake always calls Humberto by his name until he had the chance to shaft Fern and then it became Papa. I do wish he would just slither off the scene.

I too was disappointed Fern left his things at Marcia's. But I keep having to remember "TWO steps forward, ONE step back" Fern will get there, just slower, and at least not falling back as much as going forward.
I also am annoyed at h**ll that Lety can be so googly-eyed over some "too old for her" hippie yahoo. Its only been 3 days for gosh sakes, and she's acting like shes known him for 3 months! Yeah, I know the saving her life thing was suppose to speed their "connection" up , but blechhhh. He seems to more of a pervert and she's trusting him waaayyy too much. Going around town alone with him both daytime and nightime??? Not smart for any woman. So in my eyes, Lety is still childlike naive.
Like on the old board, I found it hard to believe Lety wouldn't recognize Fern at the bar. Even from behind and on the floor beat up, *I* can recognize Jaime Camil!!!!
I am anxiously awaiting Acapulco to end. Not that I think we are going to get rid of Aldo, but I just want Lety and Fern to be in the same city and to have scenes TOGETHER. That kiss was a MUCH needed Lety/Fern fix.....
I would rather see a hundred scenes of the cuartel , versus one scene with Aldo.

Paula, haven't been able to comment until now. The make-up artist did a great job on Fernandos face. He really looked quite roughed up.
Even though I hated the fact that it was actually Aldo Lety was suppose to be kissing I am glad we got to see the fantasy kiss of her and Fern.

Well, Barbara and Jenn, you make a pretty strong case about Fern not yet hitting bottom. Try this on for size. He has HIT bottom, but he hasn't yet turned around and started back up. Leaving his things at Marcia's is a symptom of him being at the bottom, hopeless and destroyed. And as for him using people (fall back plan / crutches), that is one of the character flaws he still carries, that he will have to overcome in the weeks ahead.
Jenn, you say, "he has not learned anything." You're right. He's hit bottom, but he won't start learning until he turns the corner and starts climbing back up.
GP, Fern's curly hair on the beach - I have no idea. Interesting point. I think Lety has never seen his curls unleashed. His hair was less imprisoned at Cuernavaca, but still greased.

I think that Acapulco represents freedom from the empresa (business), the work world, etc.
fernando having the curls shows him in more of a 'free' light--free from work, free from the craziness back at Conceptos (marcia, parents, even omar)--and his freedom to be with her. it is a fantasy!
