Caray, Caray!

Capitulo 187.
Read Julie’s original recap, then come back here to discuss it.

1. The bellas are all fluttering around Aldo, but he tells them he prefers to be with Lety. He says being with her makes him very content, but he realizes that she’s trying to recover from Fernando. (Tu servidor recapper asks, then why does he crowd her, trying to kiss her again?)


2. Aldo says she’s very special to him, and that makes her glow. Aldo goes through a list of all the things that make Lety special to him, and he ends with, “You and I are here, and there’s a special magic.” Caro snaps their picture, mid-hug. As they leave, Aldo says to himself, “Mi Lety.”

3. Omar essentially reminds Fernando that every option is doomed. He suggests maybe Lety never really loved him, and Fern tries to hit him. Fern says he’s starting to accept reality (IOW give up) about Lety. He had to hit bottom. He went to Acapulco to kill himself. But Marcia made him see things differently. She still loves him and she doesn’t want to forget about him, despite everything.

4. Fern says Marcia told him to pack up his things, but he couldn’t. Marcia evaluates the situation with MamaT. Fern feels betrayed, but Marcia doesn’t know what will happen when Lety returns.

5. The Conceptos lawyer calls Fern and tells him they need to get Lety into a meeting. It would be better to reach a settlement than to prosecute.

6. Tom tells MamaJ that he had to tell the HaHA’s the truth behind the embargo, and they were pretty mad. MamaJ tells Tom that Fern called, and she’s not about to let him destroy her daughter nor talk to her husband about what Lety did.

7. Aldo has to talk to Caro so he doesn’t explode. He says he’s falling in love with Lety, but he knows if he tells her, she’ll take off running.

Capitulo 188.
Read Chapel Hill Fiddler’s original recap, then come back here to discuss it.

1. Omar says, “Don’t tell me you still have compassion for Lety.” Fern says, “No. I hope she’s out of my life, and marries someone and goes far away.” (Tu servidor recapper says, “Careful what you wish for.”) He calls Julieta and asks to speak to Erasmo, then tries to spit out that Lety needs to return so things don’t get complicated. MamaJ orders him to respect her house. She hangs up and unplugs the phones.

2. Lety tells Anaís that Conceptos was killing her, but here she’s recovering, thanks to Aldo.

3. Marcia discovers that Fernando didn’t take the suitcase. She calls and Fern says he didn’t have time. She tells him to come and haul it off.

4. Fern sees Lety on TV but he thinks he’s imagining it. Lu sings “Life after you is sadness, etc.” and “I can’t live without you.” Lety, Marcia, and Fernando cry over the song, even though Fern’s not watching the pageant. Alicia wonders why Marcia’s not finding fault with all the contestants like they did last year.

5. Fernando gives up. He tells himself, “Enough! I can’t go on deceiving myself. Lety’s not going to return because she doesn’t love me. Because I lost her and it was my own fault. My huge stupidity. I lost Lety forever.” He pulls up to a bar to numb the pain, but remembering last night, he drives away.

6. When the pageant finishes, Lety says she wants to go say good-bye to Acapulco and the ocean. Aldo promises to make it an unforgettable night.
