Caray, Caray!

Capitulo 211.
Read k-Fuego’s original recap, then come back here to discuss it.

1. Lety thanks Aldo with a hug. He stands close and asks if Lety’s heart is still broken. She hides behind the desk, folds her arms in defense, and admits that it still hurts to be near Fernando. He changes the subject, so she’s safe to come out from behind her desk. Again he moves in close, she turns away, and he takes her arm and turns her toward him again.

2. Inches from her face, Aldo asks, “Do you believe that Fernando never loved you?” She runs behind the desk again and says she doesn’t want to talk about it because it hurts too much. He pushes, she begs him to change the subject, and he pulls her out from behind the desk. He can’t stand that someone would hurt Lety like that. He moves in for a kiss and the phone rings.

3. Fernando broods outside Lety’s office.

4. Marcia hears the cuartel discuss how Marcia must feel, losing her man to a fea. In the vortex they look at Fernando with scorn. Marcia is sure Lety told the witches everything. Lety tells them to stop spending so much time in bathroom meetings.

5. Aldo asks Caro if it’s possible that Fernando really loved Lety. Caro says no way. If he loved her, he wouldn’t have done such awful things. Aldo says that he acted genuinely jealous.

6. Fernando discovers that the bag of cards is gone, and he’s gotta’ find it. Omar steals the comfy chair. Fern says to himself, “Even if Lety doesn’t care about those memories, I do,” and he heads outside. Meanwhile Lety says the same thing and determines to recover them, but Caro interrupts.


7. Lety tells Caro that she’s glad for Aldo’s help. She’s getting used to Aldo rescuing her. His food project saved the day. “He’s an angel fallen from heaven.” Lety continues that even seeing Fernando makes her feel awful.

8. Tom watches while Ali practices throwing herself at Aldo. She takes Aldo out of Luigi’s meeting to ask him out. Luigi finds Tom l’eavesdropping on them.

9. The US embassy calls for Fernando, but he’s out. Sara sends Saimon to find him.

Capitulo 212.
Read Alma’s original recap, then come back here to discuss it.

1. Fernando digs through the trash to find the bag of cards. He defends his trash from the janitors.

2. Tom tells Aldo that he doesn’t like him because he’s guapo. Aldo does “Sassafrass-afrass-afrass” like Tom and it’s funny! Tom says the guapos are the source of all the world’s ills, and no one ever discriminates against guapos.

3. Saimon finds Fern, who tells him they’re not barhopping anymore and Saimon can’t call him “tú.” Fern says he’s looking for important papers he lost. Saimon says Fern is above that; Saimon will dig through the trash for him. But when Saimon picks up the first bag, Fern rips it from his hands and holds it like a voluptuous woman.

4. Tom gives Ali new stockings, but she throws them in his face. Ariel harasses her about her stockings and gives her money but she refuses it. She goes back to Tom and orders him to give her the stockings.

5. Fern needs to find those cards. They are the witness/evidence (testigo) of their love. He finally finds the bag and hugs the stuffed toy saying, “Lety, mi amor, finally we’re together again.” Meanwhile Lety tells Caro that Fern threw their cards in the trash. That says that to him, their relationship belongs in the trash.

6. Lety fantasizes that Fernando brings a card, reads it to her, declares his love, and begs forgiveness. Meanwhile Fern reads the same card to himself. He’s stung by his own words, “I’m more convinced than ever, of my decision to cancel the wedding.” If only he would’ve. Lety tells Caro she doesn’t know if she’ll ever be able to forget him.

7. Ariel steps into Luigi’s meeting. Aldo tells him about the project, and asks if Ariel thinks that Lety is the only one at fault in the loss of Conceptos. Ariel abruptly tells him to mind his own business.

In honor of Valentine's Day, here is a bright red heart formed by Alicia's dress and her, um, assets.
