Mundo de Fieras--Thursday, December 7
Jocelyn is giving Clemente a heart attack (or something where you have to grab at your throat) as she tells him that she’s not really his daughter. His eyes get squinty in disbelief and as Jocelyn continues her insults, he weeps and covers his ears. When he hears Federico’s her real dad, he briefly wakes up from zombieland, but then starts simpering to her, telling her that even though they don’t share the same blood, he has always loved her. She cackles and calls him pathetic. He can’t breath but she just tells him to leave the house.
Candelaria & Miriam are discussing Leonardo. Cande says that although Leo is your son and Jos’s brother, he is very different from you two because I raised him right. Cande then opens a can of whupp-ass on Miriam who is left speechless. Cande kicks her out of the house, telling her she is not welcome. Then Cande breaks down…it’s nice to finally see someone have a hard time saying mean (if true) things in this novela.
Clemente is stumbling around, whining in a failed attempt to generate some sympathy for his plight. He decides to confirm the Jocelyn’s paternity by asking Federico.
Mariángela comes in to Cande’s house and sees she’s upset. Cande doesn’t tell her the specific reason she’s upset, just that mothers are always worried for their children (well…some mothers, right Miriam?)
Jocelyn tells an already downtrodden Miriam that she told Clem everything, that she’s not his daughter, and that Federico is her real dad. Miriam makes her weird little ahhsshh sound—which might be translated as what the hell are you thinking?
Clemente grabs Federico by the lapels and shakes him…apparently recovered from his earlier spell…asking him about Jocelyn. Fed tells him he’s a drunk and isn’t worth anything, and then when Clem charges, he throws him down on the floor. Fed continues with the pathetic, ridiculous line of insults and Clem is down grabbing his head.
That taxi driver who has the hots for Elsa (what's his name) comes in to Cande’s house and asks for a little loan since blah blah blah. Then he asks what’s wrong. She doesn’t tell him either.
Nicolás comes to give Jos the videos so that Gabe can see Luisito. Jos says he can visit Luisito one time. Gabe’s psyched.
Paulina, still in a snit over the text message, comes in, grabs something and acts pissy with JC…who looks a little underdressed for his new job. JC asks Tiberio for the information, but it is impossible to find. Pau stomps off.
Karen is sharing her triumph with Jocelyn. She says she’s not going to stop making these little scandals until they break up. Jos couldn’t be more proud. Jos tells Karen that Mari is Clem’s daughter. Karen’s little eyebrows knit up.
Taxi dude tells Elsa that her mom is very upset because of her and that she should go visit. She refuses. He offers to pay her (with Cande’s money) to go see Cande. She accepts.
Gabe is visiting with Luisito who is concerned that his dad is all alone in the apartment. Luisito tells him he doesn’t want to be there, that his mom doesn’t allow him to leave the room and that no one comes to see him. Gabe promises him he’ll try to fix this problem. Luisito begs him to fix it so that Gabe can visit him everyday.
Pau tells Mari about her problem with JC. Mari tells her that she trusts JC, and that maybe someone is doing something to hurt them…but who?” Then she tells her, he loves and adores you, just trust him already. Mari says she really wants to speak with Luisito…Pau calls the house and they speak with Mayeya. Now Cortito is sent to sneak through the house to get him on the phone…Luisito & Mari gush at each other on the phone and Gabe tears up just thinking how wonderful Mari is, and what a horrible hell it is for Luisito to stay in that house.
JC is telling Demián about his text message problems. D tells him to convince her to trust him right away. He says there’s nothing worse than jealousy to kill love. Awwww….
Clem confronts Miriam. She tells him to get out of the house and not to come back. She says he doesn’t have the house, or even one single cent. He grabs her arm, she bitch slaps him (this guy needs a self-defense class). Talking to himself, he says he’s going to protect Mari, his only daughter. He writes a new will that leaves everything to Mari.
Nicolás, who has opened a private investigator agency on the side, is discussing with Dolores about ascertaining the truth about Edgar.
There is a tearful goodbye between Gabe & Luisito. Jocelyn reiterates her demand to Gabe that if he wants to see Luisito, he’ll have to drop the divorce. He says okay, but the only reason I will be coming here everyday is to see Luisito, not you. Ay, my nerves, she cries. Gabe rolls his eyes and says you’ve been bitching about your suffering and nerves every since the accident and it’s all been lies. She says nuh-uh…it’s all your fault my nerves are on edge. Gabe says that’s enough of your hysteria….I’ve had to deal with your tricks for a long time, in your effort to control and dominate everything but it’s over! Your heart is nothing but evil and you are bad and perverse. She tells him those are all lies, I’m sick. Gabe then reveals that he doesn’t know why, but he suspects her of being responsible for Luisito’s accident….Jos says how can you accuse me? I’m his mom. Yeah yeah, Gabe says, you’re his mom, but you’ve never loved him. You’ve only used Luisito to manipulate our marriage and I’m not going to let you do it anymore. Okay, I won’t divorce you right now, but I won’t let you take advantage of me ever again either. And then he stomps off. But wait…there’s more. She follows him and says, it doesn’t matter what you say or what you think, what’s important is the boy is with me. I beat you! Then he says, despite her protests, that he is the real victim. She made his life a living hell, and now she’s doing the same thing with Luisito. Gabe says, Listen up, Jocelyn, if you do anything to Luisito while he’s here you are going to pay….I swear you’re going to pay.
In stumbles Clem, telling Jos that Gabe gave it to her good. Jos says what are you doing here, get the hell out. Miriam reiterates the demand to get out. Clem says it’s difficult to accept that he’s not Jos’s dad, Jos dismisses his feelings as corny. He wants to go get something from upstairs but Miriam blocks the way and says, this isn’t your house and we aren’t your family. Clem says he’s stil paying the price for the mistake of marrying Miriam. Then Jos & Miriam literally throw him out of the house with Miriam shouting out after him…”Hasta nunca…” which is such a great line.
Dolores tells Tiberio she’s working on proving her innocence. He’s like yeah yeah, what else.
Comic relief time, Cortito is cleaning the garden…
Pedro & Rogelio meet in the hallway. Rogelio says, if it’s that important to you, go look for her. Pedro says that’s what I’m going to do and I'm going to figure out everything else that’s going on…
Diana is modeling the clothes—which haven’t even been ironed.
Something’s going on at Antojitos Chela and everyone’s knickers are in a bunch.
Leo is packing his bags and Cande scolds him for getting his dr. jacket all wrinkled.
Jos tells Karen the last bit of news…Clemente isn’t your grandfather and isn’t your dad. She also tells her not to tell anyone. Gabe calls and asks to speak with Clemente, Jos tells him that he left the house. Cut to Clemente….DRINKING OUT OF THE BOTTLE (I called this last week!). I’m guessing we’re seeing this so his ‘rise from the depths of despair’ will be even more dramatic.
Miriam was looking in her safe, wondering about the missing contents, when Rogelio pops in and blames Pedro…that he’d seen him coming from the room and acting nervous. Miriam freaks and breaks her glass, cutting her hand.
We see Clemente stumbling drunk down an old dirty alley…Mari is correcting papers and suddenly grasps her heart…two robbers assault Clem…Mari’s pain gets more intense. Gabe comes in, looking for Clem. Mari realizes that something’s wrong with Clemente. She and Gabe go looking for him.
Leo fixes up Miriam’s hand at the hospital. As he finishes, the test results arrive and he comments how strange it is that they have the same rare type of blood. Yeah, that is weird, Miriam says. Then, unprofessionally, Leo starts daydreaming about his parents and how the only thing he has from them is the same blood type…nothing else. Miriam daydreams about telling him…but doesn’t…but will she tomorrow?
Candelaria & Miriam are discussing Leonardo. Cande says that although Leo is your son and Jos’s brother, he is very different from you two because I raised him right. Cande then opens a can of whupp-ass on Miriam who is left speechless. Cande kicks her out of the house, telling her she is not welcome.

La Fea Más Bella #162 12/7/06 The One With Lots of Teeth-Clenching
Robopop calls Lety, who is still in her cubby working on the fake balance sheets for tomorrow’s meeting. He wants to know if the Señorita Leticia Padilla Solis is planning to go home this evening. Lety tells him she’s almost done and will be home soon. She asks whether he has completed his accounting of Filmo Imagen’s activities. Yes, Robopop is done. She asks about other business documents. No, Robopop doesn’t have them, Tomas did not leave any of that stuff. Lety clenches her teeth as she asks “You mean he didn't leave you the checkbook?!”
Ariel is still at the Cannes event, where his buddy is giving him the low-down on Conceptos' current state of financial disgrace. Ariel clenches his teeth as he remarks “I knew it!” His buddy is quick to add that it’s not first hand information so it could be just bad gossip. He advises Ariel to look into it.
Tomas is enjoying the “Club de Feas” song which is playing on the car radio. Alicia calls him to make sure he has not stood her up. He says he’s on his way. A Chinese delivery guy, dressed in full Chinese garb, delivers food to Alicia and they argue about his tip.
A triumphant Fern arrives at the office. As he steps out of the elevator, he runs into Celso, who is surprised to see Fern there so late. [Speaking of being there late…. don’t they ever let Celso go home for a nap or maybe a shower or something?] Fern asks if Celso has been drinking because he smells like alcohol. Celso points out that it is actually Fern who smells like alcohol.
Fern walks to Lety’s cubby, calling happily to her from the other room. He goes in and shows her the Cannes lion. He shows it off and tells her to feel its power. He is excited not just about the award, but that many VIPs were at the event, some of which expressed interest in working with Conceptos. Soon the company will be out of debt and back on track. Lety looks bittersweet. She congratulates him and says that she is sure Conceptos will do well. No, he says, not Conceptos, but “we” [Lety and Fern] will do well. She gives him the fake documents. He flips through them. Yes, they’re perfect! He pumps his fists in the air in excitement. He thanks Lety, grabs her, hugs her and enthusiastically kisses her neck, her shoulder, her face, and finally her lips. She seems uncomfortable and pushes him away, telling him to stop. He says he knows he should control himself but he just can’t. He kisses her again. Lety again tells him to stop. Fern –“Why. Don’t you want me?” Lety – “Yes, more than you can imagine.” Fern – “So what are we waiting for?” She looks so sad that the actually notices! He asks what’s wrong. She asks him to hug her. He looks concerned and obliges with a big hug, but feeling her strong hold on him, jokes that the hug is so tight, one would think it was a goodbye hug. She agrees trying to sound more light-hearted. As Fern let’s go, he kisses her ear again. He rubs her hand and then kisses it.
Marcia arrives at her apartment, drunk and depressed, wearing a single shoe. She pauses to look at her wedding dress and veil in the living room.
Fern sees tears in Lety’s eyes and asks what’s wrong. “Here, let me hug you again” [I’m still astonished at how aware he is of her sadness; he’s been oblivious so long that I didn’t think he had it in him]. She blames it on the excitement. He hugs her as the phone rings. It’s Celso. He says her taxi has arrived. Fern - “No way, cancel the taxi. I need to be with you tonight.” Lety – “No, you need to go home and study the documents for tomorrow.” Fern – “I can’t do that, you’re the only one that understands them, you need to give the presentation.” I guess she agrees because she says she will get the copies ready for tomorrow. She tells him goodnight and grabs her purse. Fern – “No, you can’t leave until you give me one more kiss.” She objects, saying she doesn’t like to do that at the office. Even as she protests, Fern holds her face and kisses her and tells her that she enchants him. He sort of clenches his teeth, the way you would if something were so great you can barely stand it. He says that today he is a happy man again; “There is finally a light at the end of the tunnel.” Another hug. “After tomorrow, everything will be great. Plus, after tomorrow, Marcia will be out of my life for good, and the road will be wide open for you and me!” More fist pumping. Lety smiles. Though she still has tears in her eyes, she seems pleased to see him so happy.
Marcia gets herself another drink. She picks up her veil and throws it over her head. Interestingly, she has a hard time trying to get it to stay on. She plops down on her couch.
Fern – “Before you go, tell me if you love me. I need to know.” Lety, with more tears – “Yes, Mr. Fern, I’ve never stopped loving you.” Fern – “I love you more than ever, Lety.” He grabs her face again and gives her a few more quick kisses. He even goes “Mmmm Mmmm” with every kiss. [It’s so cute I’m clenching my teeth too!]
As she leaves, Fern sits in her chair and gives himself a good talking to. “Fernando Mendiola, this is serious. You’ve known for some time that you are hopelessly in love with her, but today you must recognize that never in your life have you loved the way you love Leticia Padilla Solis.” He leans back and rubs his eyes “I swear I don’t know how I fell in love with her, but, yes… more than ever….”
Lety walks into the executive lobby and looks around. Celso walks in to remind her that the cab is waiting for her. He leaves and Lety looks around some more. She flashes back to Alicia making fun of her in the rest room. Flashback of Marcia telling Lety off for slapping Fern; Lety thinks that she wishes Marcia happiness. Flashback of Omar the Imbecile doing his and mean-spirited rehashing; she thinks to herself that she forgives him [You may have, Lety, but I haven't!] Flashback of Luigi’s horrified reaction to Lety’s first “makeover”; she thinks how much fun Luigi is ["Fun" is not the word coming to mind here]. Flashback of fun and goofy times with the cuartel; she thinks that she will see them again someday. Then a longer flashback montage with lots of happy times with Fern, and then his gut-wrenching plea outside of the restaurant [End of Nov 15/Beginning of Nov 16, in case anyone wants to relive that]; she smiles and thanks Fern, and thinks how divine it has been.
Marcia is asleep on the couch with her veil and her drink still in her hand. Luigi and obnoxious Ana Leticia come in and wake her up. They want to party. She invites them to have a drink. Ana-L wants a Margarita. Luigi wants a Margarito! At least Ana-L thinks that’s funny.
Tomas arrives at Alicia’s building. Again the routine with the talcum powder and cologne gargling. He starts to get out of the car then remembers the checkbook. He goes back and forth about whether he should take it with him. He calculates the cost of each kiss from Alicia. He decides the cost is well worth it, but then remembers Lety lecturing him about not giving Alicia any money. He decides to leave the checkbook in the car.
Irma arrives at home to find her ex Rafael is still there. He is in their daughter’s room and remarks that in this house, it’s as if time never passed. She goes on to tell him all the things he missed when he abandoned them. He starts to cry and walks out of the room mumbling.
Alicia tells her dad on the phone that, finally, tonight she will get the money for her car. The doorbell rings and she says she has to go, her 500,000 pesos are calling. She opens the door and Tomas walks in like Fonzie from Happy Days. Alicia sits him down and tells him dinner is ready. She “made” her specialty, Chinese.
Irma continues with the guilt trip. She spent 30 years wondering why he left. He cries that he is going to hell. He stumbles toward the front door, but Irma says he can’t leave until he feels better, and offers him something to eat.
Luigi and Obnoxious Ana-L are still jumping around Marcia's couch. She is obviously not in the mood to party. They point out that brides-to-be are usually happy, but here she is with her sour puss. Luigi asks whether she actually thinks she will be happy after she marries. Ana-L is more direct and says that if Fern’s got another girlfriend, then Marcia should simply not marry him. [What do you know, the girl’s got a brain!] She suggests [actually, she screeches] that should they cancel the wedding ceremony, but go on with the reception/party. Luigi and Ana-L decide to take their party elsewhere and leave Marcia alone in her veil feeling sorry for herself.
Rafael says he works as a house painter, but hasn’t had work in a month. He lost his family, his house, etc. Irma points out that he didn’t lose them, he abandoned them. He wants to explain what happened. She says there's no need; she’s sure he left them for another woman.
Tomas makes small talk and Alicia rolls her eyes. She cuts to the chase and asks for the check. He stares back open-mouthed.
Ending Credits: The swimming pool scene is gone... booooo! On the other hand, we do get a replay of the Fern-and-Lety love montage … yey!
Ariel is still at the Cannes event, where his buddy is giving him the low-down on Conceptos' current state of financial disgrace. Ariel clenches his teeth as he remarks “I knew it!” His buddy is quick to add that it’s not first hand information so it could be just bad gossip. He advises Ariel to look into it.

Alicia tells her dad on the phone that, finally, tonight she will get the money for her car. The doorbell rings and she says she has to go, her 500,000 pesos are calling. She opens the door and Tomas walks in like Fonzie from Happy Days. Alicia sits him down and tells him dinner is ready. She “made” her specialty, Chinese.
Irma continues with the guilt trip. She spent 30 years wondering why he left. He cries that he is going to hell. He stumbles toward the front door, but Irma says he can’t leave until he feels better, and offers him something to eat.
Luigi and Obnoxious Ana-L are still jumping around Marcia's couch. She is obviously not in the mood to party. They point out that brides-to-be are usually happy, but here she is with her sour puss. Luigi asks whether she actually thinks she will be happy after she marries. Ana-L is more direct and says that if Fern’s got another girlfriend, then Marcia should simply not marry him. [What do you know, the girl’s got a brain!] She suggests [actually, she screeches] that should they cancel the wedding ceremony, but go on with the reception/party. Luigi and Ana-L decide to take their party elsewhere and leave Marcia alone in her veil feeling sorry for herself.
Rafael says he works as a house painter, but hasn’t had work in a month. He lost his family, his house, etc. Irma points out that he didn’t lose them, he abandoned them. He wants to explain what happened. She says there's no need; she’s sure he left them for another woman.
Tomas makes small talk and Alicia rolls her eyes. She cuts to the chase and asks for the check. He stares back open-mouthed.
Ending Credits: The swimming pool scene is gone... booooo! On the other hand, we do get a replay of the Fern-and-Lety love montage … yey!

Synopsis (summary) of "Duelo de Pasiones," replacement for Heridas de Amor
Translated from the ESMAS site. Extreme purists might consider this to be a spoiler (note that spoilers are NOT ALLOWED at this blog) so read at your own risk.
A story of love wherein rancor and jealousy are the principal enemy.
The heart of the rich landowner Álvaro Montellano falls in the clutches of jealousy when he reads a letter he believes destined for his spouse Soledad.
The letter makes him think his wife is betraying him with a corporal, José, and that his daughter Alina is the fruit of that betrayal.
Without listening to her protests of innocence, he locks Soledad away at a remote coffee plantation [not magic chocolate? too bad], Hidden Mountain, and waits with hatred for Alina to return home so she also can be a victim of his vengeance.
Without suspecting the sorrow which awaits her, Alina lives a happy romance with Emilio Valtierra, an attractive military man and horseman who has found in her the love of his life.
Full of hopes, Alina arrives at the hacienda, only to encounter a father become an monster of rage, who, with injury and threats, sends her to "Hidden Mountain" (Sierra Escondida) to live in a CAVE with an old folk healer, Luba. [A CAVE? A FAITH HEALER? OH GOODIE!!!!]
In order to protect her mother's life, Alina agrees to live in these miserable conditions, and from that time the people of Sierra Escondida know her as "Flower of the Field."
When Emilio arrives in search of Alina, Álvaro tells him the girl and her mother have left the country. Emilio feels deceived, thinking the love she swore to him was a lie.
Two years pass and Emilion, now surly and bitter, encounters "Flower of the Field" (Flor del Campo) whom he does not recognize due to her simple, humble appearance. [Hmm, wouldn't you think he'd recognize the love of his life even if she were wearing a paper bag?]
As he remembers Alina, the rancor he still holds makes him treat the girl harshly, but he can't deny he is attracted to her. When Álvaro convinces him Alina died in an accident, Emilio, full of sadness, decides to marry Flor del Campo, but the ceremony is interrupted by Álvaro, who will not permit Alina to be happy and who wounds Emilio gravely.
Immediately a woman named Thelma appears in church and claims she is pregnant by Emilio; she makes the priest marry them "en artículo de muerte." [Some special "marrying an almost dead guy" rule, I guess.]
But Emilio survives and, now, perhaps too late, Alina must struggle against Thelma's intrigues for the love of Emilio, and also against the terrible lie which destroyed her mother's life and converted her own father into her worst enemy.

Heridas de Amor - Dec 6
Wednesdays show begins after we see Miranda give in to Alejandro's kisses. We see Roman leaving the barrio where Amparo lives. Francisco asks Amparo how she feels. She tells him that its good to have said goodbye to Roman before she regrets things. Amparo talks about how she is getting her life together, going to study, so that she will find a better paying job. This bit goes on for too long until its obvious we are being treated to another public service announcement. The announcement is that as women, if we do these things and value yourself, then you won't need a man.
Miranda looks at the sleeping Alejandro. She tells herself that she can't forget, she can't forget what he called her. She has a flashback to him saying “Quiero que seas mia, Lilliana.” I want you to be mine Lilliana. She buttons her pants, grabs her jacket and shoes. She leaves while he sleeps, none the wiserto her escape.
Fabricio asks Fernanda if they should take Florencia to the hospital. (Florencia is passed out or asleep in bed as Fern and Fab discuss the situation.) Fabricio thinks they should call the authorities. Fern is a little on edge as she scolds him for not having called the authorities sooner. Fab says he didn’t call the authorities because he thought Nuria would return. Fern quips don’t you realize that Nuria is deranged? Fab snaps at her for scolding him and she apologizes. Charo and Renata enter the room telling the pair that they looked everywhere and can't find Nuria. They also report that they can't get a hold of Miranda.
César's doorbell rings and he goes to answer. It's Luis Alberto. César mocks him as he enters and Luis Alberto snaps at him. César is not happy that his employee has come to his house to snap at him. César begins to taunt Luis Alberto by saying Let me guess.... You are in love with my woman.
Bertha enters Flor's bedroom. Fernanda immediately starts to yell at her asking where has she taken Nuria. Before Bertha can answer Miranda rushes in and begins a verbal assault on Bertha. Miranda demands to know where Nuria has gone and if Bertha doesn’t tell her right now then she is going to call the police. She admits to knowing that Bertha has Nuria registered as her daughter. Bertha cries that everyone blames her but she doesn’t know where Nuria is. Wha! Miranda isn’t deterred and tells Bertha that everything bad that has happened to them is because of Bertha. Miranda starts to snap her fingers telling Bertha to pack her bags and leave. Fab interrupts the women and says it's not necessary to make Bertha leave. Bertha goes to stand by Fab thanking him for standing up for her. Fernanda picks up the torch and starts to yell at Bertha too. Fern tells Bertha that she knows that Bertha is involved in Nuria's disappearance. Fern reminds Bertha that the house is hers and for Bertha to leave. Bertha laughs at how quick Fern is to reclaim her property when she hasn’t even put one peso into the house.
César tells Luis Alberto that he is his only friend and this is what Luis Alberto does to him. Luis Alberto isn’t fooled and tells César to knock it off, he knows that César only feels pity for Nuria. César answers “Something is something.” Luis Alberto ignores this sick answer and goes on to ask if César knows about Nuria. He recounts how he went to see Nuria to give her condolences for her baby's death and how Bertha wouldn’t let him see her. César tells Luis Alberto that he deserved the condolences not stupid Nuria who killed his baby. Luis Alberto ignores this and he keeps talking out loud trying to figure out what happened to Nuria. César listens and thinks to himself What is Bertha up to? The men figure out that it was El Guapo who took Nuria and Florencia's baby.
Bertha laughs saying she knows, because Rebecca told her, that Gonzalo's father gave Fern the land, but Gonzalo built the house. Gonzalo constructed all this, she says as she waves her hand around the room, and you have no moral right to throw me out. Bertha claims that part of her is in the house. She goes on to say she is Ferns sister and they can't treat her like this. She cries to the group that she is the same blood as Fernanda and then she leaves the room. Fernanda laughs and tells Miranda that the only true thing Bertha said is that yes she is Berthas sister.
After all the yelling and discussion in the room Florencia finally wakes up. Flor is distraught about Nuria taking her baby. Fern reminds her that Nuria will looks after the baby like her own, and for her to relax, it will all be ok. Miranda tells Fabricio that they know it was Bertha who kidnapped him. Fab flips his lid hearing this. He tells everyone that now they are ALL in danger. He threatens them that if anyone insinuates the smallest aspect of his kidnapping to Bertha then they will be putting his child's life at risk. It that happens then the person who says this to Bertha will be finished by him. Miranda tells Fab that she understands what he is saying but to not talk to her like that again.
Lilliana and Alejandro discuss the terms of his release from jail. Alejandro can't leave the country and he has to be always ready to see the judge at a moments notice. They go on to discuss how Lilliana needs to be paid punctually. She is mother and father to her daughter and she can't be late on her bills. Alejandro asks her if she remembers telling him that after his case is finished that they won't see each other again. Lilliana tells him that is how it goes but with him, with him, things are different and she doesn’t know why. Alejandro shares that his mother was named Sophia just like her daughter. Lilliana freaks on the shared coincidence. Alejandro tells her how his mother loved Greek mythology and Lilliana freaks that Sophia does too! Can you believe that! Lilliana tells Alejandro that it wasn’t her intention to bother Miranda last night.
Renata, Veronica and Erika laugh about Bertha packing her bags and leaving the mansion. Renata weakly laughs telling the girls to not make fun of her family. Veronica tells her that what's going on with Bertha is not the only scandal. They saw Juan with Carola last night, they are dating. Veronica goes on telling Renata that Juan will give her a divorce if Renata will agree to spend a weekend together. Renata tells the girls she will accept his proposal.
The husband and wife Francisco and Amparo, laugh together about how much Francisco earns driving a taxi. Who would’ve thought being a taxi driver could be such a good job?! Amparo kisses him goodbye as he goes to work for the day. Carola enters soon after he has left. She is very happy to share the news that she is Juan's girlfriend. They are a couple! Amparo is sad to hear the news. (Here comes the second part of the public service announcement of how women are to better their lives and to be valued people.) Amparo tells Carola that she is Juan's lover not his girlfriend. That is not the way for Carola to do things or for things to start well, undercover instead of out in the open. Amparo tells Carola that she would like nothing better for Carola to be with Juan but in the right way. If we women want people to respect us we have to start with respecting ourselves. Carola tries to leave several times as she listens to Amparo's lecture. Needless to say she is not happy to get scolded and not happy to be told that what she is doing is immoral.
Alejandro and Lillian continue talking as they sit next to each other on the couch at his house. They have a silly conversation where they share ideas, psychological insights and their inner feelings. Lilliana tells him how she would be in the same place as his wife. She too would be upset and she understands Miranda for that. Alejandro asks if this means Miranda is insecure. Lilliana says no. She tells Alejandro that she is the same as Miranda, they are identical. Alejandro asks what does a woman want? Lilliana tells him everything and more if that’s possible. Even Freud said that no one knows a woman. Alejandro wants to know what Lilliana wants. She tells him she is happy with what she has. They agree after this discussion to call each other by their first names. Alejandro goes to get some books for Sophia.
Fab has left to report Nuria's disappearance with the baby. Fern and Miranda comfort Flor who whines that she cant believe that Nuria did this to her! Its not fair! Flor continues her whining saying why cant she be happy with the little time she has left?! Wha! After calming Flor down a little Miranda decides she needs to call Alejandro and let him know what is happening. She picks up her cell phone and dials his number.
Alejandro's cell phone rings. Lilliana calls for Alejandro to answer his phone as she waits for him to get the books. Alejandro doesn’t answer her so she answers Al's cell phone for him. She says bueno and no one replies back. We see a scene of Miranda standing in Flor's room with a face best described as impactada. Lilliana talks into the phone saying that she knows it's you Senora Luque. Miranda tells her that she didn’t speak because at first she thought she had dialed the wrong number. Now let me talk to MY husband. Alejandro walks into the room talking to Lilliana about the books he wants to give to Sophia. Lilliana holds the phone out and tells him it's Miranda. He grabs the phone and says yes my love. Miranda tears into him telling him Excuse me for bothering you but Nuria stole Florencia's baby.
Amparo talks to herself while she bakes a cake. She is mixing ingredients in the worlds smallest bowl, making a wedding cake. She thinks how she can't wait to sell wedding cakes if this recipe turns out right. Juan comes in the kitchen. Amparo asks him what does he know about Renata? Are you divorced from her? What are you doing with Carola?! Juan motions to leave but Amparo isn’t done. She asks him what kind of values does he have to going out with Carola while married to Renata. Juan leaves looking like he has been whipped.
César asks Bertha in his apartment what Bertha plans to do with Nuria. Bertha counters what are you going to do with Renata? I hope its not what you did with Lizania. César answers that Miranda has always despised everything about him and now she is going to be groveling at his feet. She is going to ask him for clemency for her sister. The evil duo laugh about this together and begin to dance close to each other, stepping side to side. César says lets go to the room when the doorbell rings. They look at each other as César goes to open the door. It's Lilliana.
Lilliana sits on a stool as she talks to César and Bertha. Bertha lounges on César's couch and César stays in the background fiddling with a large decanter of brandy and his ever constant cigarette. Lilliana tells them that if the judges order is against Alejandro she will file a right of protection the first chance she gets. That order will go to the supreme court of justice. César interjects What do we care? Lilliana snaps that if they have to go for a third round then the court will be prejudiced against Bertha and César. And when the Supreme Court sends out the final sentence she will immediately thereafter start a lawsuit for defamation of honor and for moral damage against them. She will also start an investigation with the Public Minister for corruption and traffic of influence against them. Bertha smarts off How terrible, but I didn’t understand anything you said. Lilliana tells her yes she did and if they are trying to extort the judge then they are wasting his time and hers, and them wasting her time bothers her. César begins to motion like he is going to kick her out but ends up exhaling smoke from his mouth and then quickly refilling his mouth back up with brandy. He tells her when she has proof to come back. Lilliana replies she doesn’t need proof, everything will come to light. César then tries another tactic by asking if she will work for them. Lilliana tells him his attempt to buy her failed. They have confirmed to her that they are lying in their sworn testimonies.
César and Bertha tell each other after Lilliana has left that she wont intimidate them. They laugh and talk confidently. Bertha promises César that she will go and talk to Lilliana again. She will leave something for Lillianas daughter, a stuffed animal (peluche). Bertha grabs César's cigarette and takes a drag as she smirks at him. César asks if she would like to see the toys he bought for her in New York. Bertha smiles saying she would as she grabs his hand and glides with him to his bedroom. Gross!
Raul goes to visit Amparo. They chat about putting some of her bits of paper on the computer. She asks if he knows about Juan and Carola. Raul tells her he does, Juan is a grown man. He also tells her that Juan saw Renata with César. Amparo is shocked. She tells Raul that she is going to go talk with Renata.
Pamela and Miranda go over Miranda's problems with Alejandro and Lilliana. Pam tells Miranda that all Luciano does is talk about Lilliana too. The women decide they have a worthy opponent. Lilliana is smart. Miranda tells Pam that you have to understand your adversary and put yourself in their shoes. Its like a chess game. Hmm what will the girls come up with?
Alejandro fills Daira in by phone on his release and everything else that has been going on. Daira is going to come back into town. Santiago calls after Alejandro hangs up with Daira. Sanitago tells Alejandro he has some very important things to talk to him about. They decide to meet tonight. After AL is finished with that phone call he talks to himself on what he said to Miranda. He has a flashback to calling Miranda Lilliana. He gets mad at himself for his mistake and then starts to psycho-analyze his behavior. Why did he call her Lillian he asks?
Nuria is seen outside squatting in a corner. A nun walks up to her and tells her to get up and go eat. Nuria doesn’t want to eat she wants her baby. The nun tells her she can see her baby but first she has to eat. Nuria is resistant. The nun tells her that she should know the punishment that happens when you break the rules. Nuria is pitiful, and continues to resist the nun. The nun slaps her just as Bertha walks up sweetly saying Is something happening Madre?
Miranda looks at the sleeping Alejandro. She tells herself that she can't forget, she can't forget what he called her. She has a flashback to him saying “Quiero que seas mia, Lilliana.” I want you to be mine Lilliana. She buttons her pants, grabs her jacket and shoes.

Mundo de Fieras, 12/6 In which Joselyn gets to be really nasty to all the good guys who come seeking to see Luisito.
Candelaria asks Mayeya not to tell anyone else about the identity of Leo’s real mother. Mayeya promises. Candelaria vows that no one will take Leo away from her. His real mother doesn’t deserve him.
Joselyn tells Luisito that he is better off with her since he had so many accidents when he was living with his father. The kid starts to say that the accidents weren’t his father’s fault when Joselyn goes ballistic and tells him not to contradict her. Clemente and Miriam come in to welcome Luisito to their house. Miriam takes Joselyn out and Clemente notices that Luisito is hyperventilating. He asks him why he is so afraid and did his mother say something to him? Luisito says that everything is ok in a way that says just the opposite.
With Miriam, Joselyn starts smashing the bric a brac saying that she could barely keep herself from belting the kid when he said that he missed his father. Miriam is more concerned about the video that Nicolas has. She urges Joselyn to get it back as soon as possible and then set a trap for Nicolas. ‘Speaking of traps,’ says Miriam, ‘how did it go with Clemente?’
Candelaria tells Father Anselmo about her fears that Miriam will take Leo away from her.
Gabriel comes to the house to see Luisito. Joselyn says that she has custody and has the power to decide who Luisito sees. She tells Gabriel that he knows the price for seeing his son – withdraw the demand for a divorce.
JC and Paulina fix up their apartment. Paulina says that she has never seen her father look so sad. Paulina wonders again how someone got into their apartment and JC speculates that someone had a copy of the key.
Karen buys a cell phone telling herself that JC and Paulina are wrong if they think they are going to be happy.
Gabriel and Joselyn continue to have the same conversation – if G wants to see Luisito, he has to withdraw the petition for a divorce. Gabriel gets angrier and angrier and starts huffing and puffing like a wild beast himself.
Clemente has a very similar conversation with Miriam saying that Joselyn has no right to keep Luisito from seeing his father. Miriam says Joselyn has the right and has made her decision. Clemente gives Miriam a check and as soon as he leaves, she sits down to try forging his signature.
MA comes to see Candelaria. Candelaria says that she is very sad because Leo’s real mother has shown up. Candelaria won’t tell MA who it is but she says that she is going to see the real mother and ask her what her intentions are for Leo.
Now the comic relief. Mayeya and Cortito sneak through the house to bring Luisito a piece of cake.
Gabriel tells Nicolas that Joselyn won’t let him see Luisito unless he withdraws the petition for a divorce. Since Luisito is the most important thing in his life, Gabriel says that he will accede to Josleyn’s demands. Nicolas asks Gabriel to let him talk to Joselyn before he withdraws the divorce petition. Nicolas says that he has something that will make Joselyn change her mind.
Mayeya and Cortito engage in some slapstick to make Luisito laugh.
Gabriel and Demian meet outside their offices. Demian tells Gabriel that he is sorry about his situation with Luisito. He also tells Gabriel that he will let him build his project. Gabriel says the he appreciates his brother’s support.
Luisito isn’t hungry for his dinner. Team Mayeya and Cortito ask how they can make him feel better and Luisito asks them to take him to his father.
Karen implements the next part of her plan to split up JC and Paulina. Using the cell phone she has just bought, she leaves a compromising text message for JC. Paulina reads it and is upset. JC tries to make light of it but then he says that he has to go out.
Back at forgery 101, Miriam has mastered Clemente’s signature.
Meanwhile, Clemente has come to visit Candelaria. He gives her money for MA. All of a sudden, Clemente is struck with a terrible headache.
MA has come to Joselyn’s house to beg to see Luisito. Since Joselyn is the last person who would be moved by such an appeal, she takes full opportunity to insult and humiliate MA before ordering her out of her house forever. During this scene, we get lots of close ups of the make up on Joselyn’s eyes that make her look like a raccoon.
Nicolas tries to use the video he has of Joselyn and Didier to let Demian see Luisito. After some sparring, Joselyn agrees to the deal but only to let Gabriel see Luisito one time. Nicolas presses but Joselyn holds firm. It’s not clear if Nicolas accepts the deal but he leaves.
Mayeya and Cortito are trying to sneak Luisito out of the house but Miriam catches them. M & C say they are only taking Luisito out into the garden but Miriam says that he cannot go out of the house.
JC goes to the phone store where Karen bought the phone but the clerk won’t give him any information.
Paulina comes into Josleyn’s house to see Luisito. Joselyn tells her that she has no right to be in the house since she isn’t Gabriel’s daughter by blood. Paulina says she may not be related to Gabriel by blood but she is his daughter and Luisito is her little brother. Joselyn tells Paulina that she doesn’t like the tone of her voice and that if she wants to come into Joselyn’s house, she had better change it.
Nicolas shows Dolores some the results of an investigation that suggest that Edgar could be alive. She is impactada.
Leo goes to see Candelaria and they demonstrate how close they are. Candelaria can’t tell him why she is so sad.
Upon seeing the documents that suggest that Edgar may not have died on the boat, Dolores immediately fantasizes that all her problems are solved. Nicolas brings her back to reality and tells her that she has to be discreet at least until it is proved that Edgar is alive.
Paulina seems to have gotten past the evil Joselyn and is doing a puzzle with Luisito. When Luisito asks why he can’t see Gabriel and MA, Paulina tells him the truth – Joselyn won’t allow it. Luisito vows to leave his mother’s house and never return.
Candelaria is having coffee when Miriam comes in. Miriam pretends that she has come to see how Candelaria is doing but Candelaria says that she knows everything – that Miriam abandoned a baby in the church and that she is Leo’s mother.
Clemente staggers into his house and is immediately confronted by Joselyn. ‘Are you feeling ok?’ she asks with fake concern. Clemente says that Joselyn has to let Gabriel see his son. Joselyn says that Clemente has no moral authority to lecture her since he had fathered a child out of wedlock. Joselyn says that she hates him and would like to see him penniless on the street. Clemente protests that he has enough to live on and Joselyn tells him that Miriam has cleaned him out. He doesn’t have a penny.
Leo comes to see MA who is upset that she can’t see Luisito. He tells her that Joselyn will change her attitude. MA asks how he can defend her. He says that is not defending her only trying to understand her. She is always fighting against everyone – Leo feels sorry for her. MA does not share his compassion even though they are sisters. Leo says that he understands but something has happened and he cannot judge Joselyn. He goes on to say that it is the same with Miriam. She isn’t very nice but he likes her. He says that it is very strange but the feeling is very strong.
At first Miriam denies that she is Leo’s mother but then admits it. Candelaria calls her that she is the worst of mothers – a woman without a soul or a heart. Miriam slaps Candelaria and tells her to shut up. Candelaria strikes back at Miriam. She says that she is better than Miriam; she has feelings. Even animals don’t abandon their children. Miriam says that Candelaria doesn’t know her motives and can’t judge her. Candelaria responds that nothing would justify what she did. She goes on to say that Miriam isn’t even sorry for what she did. Why has she come to Candelaria’s house? Miriam says that since she has learned that Leo is her son, she wants to get to know him and see how he is doing. They were continuing to insult one another when the TiVo stopped.
Joselyn tells Luisito that he is better off with her since he had so many accidents when he was living with his father. The kid starts to say that the accidents weren’t his father’s fault when Joselyn goes ballistic and tells him not to contradict her. Clemente and Miriam come in to welcome Luisito to their house.

La Fea Más Bella #161 12/6/06 Songs of Meaning, Useless Dance and a Borracha
We open at the Cannes celebration with a film collage promoting Conceptos. It sounds like something you’d hear in the auditorium at an aquarium or a museum exhibit on a school trip. It shows an excerpt of the Bella Life and other commercials (and I thought I saw Yasmin, grrr) and the narrator describes the 30 year experience of the business in which they have grown to be one of the most important production houses in the country, with a great team of collaborators that have combined their talent and boldness to provide what their clients would only deserve, the highest quality that won them the Gold Lion Award at the Cannes Festival. There is no doubt that this Mexican firm promises to expand beyond our borders to the foreign market. Soon we’ll see the works of Conceptos all over the world. Humberto says how splendid, Teresita what a great night, we are so proud of you! Marcia asks to borrow Fer‘s cell phone, she says she wants to call Ariel. Fer remarks how much Marcia is drinking, more than he’s ever seen her drink before. She tells him she’s not drunk, she’s just drinking to see if she can understand him better. He smirks and gives it to her.
Ana Leticia talks to Bore and asks if she can confess something, she tells him about her many surgeries and he says he can’t tell at all, that she looks perfect. She’s like Copperfield, magic, magic, magic. She tells him she had three liposuctions at the same time, can he imagine?
Back stage, Luigi walks in with Hanna and Ashley. Luigi asks them if they are nervous and they say no. He asks if there is anything he can get for them and in unison they say no thanks. He jokes and makes them say it again. He tells them how talented they are and asks if they ever thought of having him, Luigi Lombardi make a video with them. They said they would love that. He then begs them to sing Soy Mujer, and they all sing it together. How cute, they love him. He loves them. Ahhhhh!
Marcia walks away with the cell phone she finds the number calls it and realizes it was Lety. She hangs up on her. She tells herself of course that Fer must be checking up on the balance with that fool. Then Ariel shows up, he makes sure to mention that he’s not there to watch her boyfriend win an award, he’s there only because T&H demanded it. He asks where Lety is. Marcia says she doesn’t know, around somewhere. Santiago walks in and greets him, Marcia groans at him and walks away. Ariel asks how the finances are going, and Santiago says well, they have a bond worth 26 million dollars. This pleases Ariel who congratulates him.
We are treated to an amateur, very amateur Rockettes show back in the salon. That seemed a bit useless to the event but, whatever. Fer asks Marcia if she got in touch with Ariel and she said no, he’s here now. Fer essentially begs her to stop drinking and takes away her champagne. She instantly grabs another from between T&H.
Ana Leticia continues to discuss her surgery with Bore with a flower in his hair. Marcia is introduced to him and is polite but tells them Ana Leticia has to come with her because Ari is here and she hasn’t greeted T&H yet. Once they leave, Bore tells his cameraman (now that guy is a true feo) that he hopes that she doesn’t come back over because all she talked about was Liposuction and surgery and Botox and he thinks the only thing she hasn’t done is her stomach. I think he wishes she’d staple her mouth. She’s crazy!
Back at Conceptos the cuartel has given up on waiting with PM. Sara was sleeping and dreaming about a non-existent Novio and Lola has to go home to get her children from Juanita, who has to get home by herself and the metro is going to close. Simon tells Lola to take Sara because if Lola goes with Sara then she will scare away all the thieves anyway. Sara retorts that the only one who is going to be in trouble is Paula Maria if she stays here with that jerk.
Then we flash to an 80’s ish suggestive pseudo rock number that Abitchia ends up crashing out at the end. This number, I guess, was at least pleasing to the male audience I suppose. Santiago remarks at how lovely she is. Ariel says how much do you want to spend. If you have 50,000 pesos, you can spend the night with her. She overhears and goes to smack Ari.
Sarah pounds on the door of Lopez to ask if they can all go. Just when they think maybe he’s asleep and they can sneak out, he opens. PM asks if she can finish tomorrow. He jokes that maybe she could finish the next day, or next week. He yells at them and says no, you must finish today. She tells him she wouldn’t finish until 5 am! He says well I’m in the same boat. Simon sticks up for her and tells him to stop yelling at them. Roller Derby chick busts out and also yells for him to stop yelling and to show respect. He says his problem isn’t with her. He doesn’t want problems with her (of course not, she could take him in a second). He goes back in with a squeak of his bald cranium. PM tells them not to worry about it and to go home. They will but Sara tells Simon not to fall asleep or even blink because Lopez might step out of line. Simon says he’ll have to step over my line first. Just in case you didn’t think he would do such a thing to an employee, he pokes his antennae back out of the door and makes a kissy/ licky face. Eww.
Ariel continues hassling Abitchia about Santiago. He asks her if she brought her photo and makes sure he informs her what a wealthy financier Santi is. He makes sure to mention to him her six semesters of Finance. Marcia comes to grab him and he leaves them alone. Santiago asks then if she would like to go somewhere to chat about finances. She says no. She actually blows him off and runs over to Bore begging him to fake he is her novio.
The dancers run back in the dressing room and Luigi congratulates them. He sees Irmita, and worries that she is ill again. Did she pass out again? No she says she’s fine. He tells her that she should go home. She doesn’t think she wants to go to her house.
Back in the salon Bitchita explains to Bore that that guy over there is acosting her so she told him she has a jealous boyfriend and that he needs to leave her alone. Bore gets freaked out that she has a jealous boyfriend. She reminds him that he’s the boyfriend. He boldly asks what he can do for the young man. Abitchita’s plan worked, he frightened away Ariel’s slimy buddy. Now this guy trys to move in for a piece and she tempers him. So he goes to leave, but she asks him for another favor, now to help with that other guy, the one with the yuk face!!
We are now in the salon when Caro introduces HA*ASH. When I went to post this I now see that Amanda has already “spoiled” you, but since I love this song and spent the time on this I’m leaving it in for your enjoyment again. It appears slightly different at least.
I. Qué Hago Yo?
II. by Ha-Ash
III. album: Mundos Opuestos (2005)
Entraste como un rayo de luz
Como un aire encantador
Liberaste con tu hechizo
A mi recluso corazón
Tu dulzura corrió por mis venas
Creí en tu intención
No pensé que fuese un engaño
Ni una mentira tu amor
Me dices que te esta llamando
Te vas sin un adiós
Sé muy bien que harás en sus brazos
Dime que hago yo
CORO
Que hago con mis labios
Si me ruegan tus besos
Que hago con mis manos
Cuando suplican tu regreso
Que hago con mis noches
Que hago con mis días
Que hago con tu esencia que se aferra a la mía
Dime que hago yo
Hablamos solo cuando puedes
Te abrazo al esconder
Que no haría para tenerte
A mi lado al amanecer
Mis amigos dicen que te olvide
Que antes de ti no era igual
Antes de ti mi vida no tenia sentido
Antes de ti no sabia amar
Coro x 2
Que hago yo
You came in like a ray of light,
Like an enchanted breeze,
With your charm you freed
My cloistered heart
Your sweetness once ran through my veins
I thought you had good intentions
I didn’t think that your love
Could be a lie or deceit
You tell me she is calling
You leave without a goodbye
I know quite well you’ll be in her arms
So tell me what am I to do
What do I do with my lips
If they are to beg for your kiss
What do I do with my hands
When they pray for your return
What do I do with my nights
What do I do with my days
What do I do with this essence of you which clings to me
Tell me, what do I do?
We speak only when you’re able to
In hiding, I hold you
What I wouldn’t do to wake
With you by my side
My friends say I should forget you
Who, before you, I wasn’t the same
Before you, my life made no sense
Before you, I didn’t know love
What am I to do
Throughout this song Fer and Marcia are each having flashbacks of romantic moments. Hers with him, and his with, well, Lety!!! Fer smiles but Marcia just bawls. Caro looks at her and can guess what's going on.
Back in the dressing room. I- I don’t want to go to my house. L- says, oh, you want to play at the big blowout, huh. No I know, you just don’t want to be alone. You want me to come and stay and take care of you and hug you. I-Actually, lend me your phone. L-Sure who do you want to call? I-My house. L-Ok, just push 1 and send. But if you are here, who’s going to answer there? I-Um well, my phone was out of order before and I want to see if it’s been fixed. L-He tells her ok, then push 1, it’s in my memory. I- says I’m the number one? He says yes you are number one. The only one. Man, there is a human side to him afterall. She calls and I guess no one (like her estranged husband) answers so she seems pleased and agrees to go home. Luigi tells the girls to take care of their own costumes because Irma is now out. Luigi asks Juan to get a car and take her to her door, and then come back. Hurry! He gives her a kiss because she deserves it and praises her for the work she did on this spectacular. It went so well because of her. Is any one tearing up out there? I’m contemplating a tear at least.
Back at Conceptos, Lopez slams on PM’s desk to wake her up and he startles PMS. He asks Simon to take an envelope to Luigi at the event. He wonders why at this hour. Lopez says they are contracts that the dancers haven’t yet signed. Simon thinks no, it must be finished by now, they can sign in the am. Lopez questions who makes the orders, and he doesn’t care he wants it done now. So Simon grabs PM to go with him. Lopez stops him to see if she’s done with her work yet. She says no, so he says she can’t go and Simon needs to go by himself. Simon protests and says he’s not leaving her alone. Lopez assures him that he will watch over her. Simon asks who will watch over you then? He says no way am I leaving her here. Lopez orders him to go, and he keeps protesting.
Now a “Happy” Song from Ha*ash – well musically it sounds happy anyway…..
Amor a Medias
Aunque busques ya no hay
un motivo para estar a tu lado y en soledad.
Te regalo los porques de una amor que solo fue
como una oracion dicha sin fe.
Yo te di lo mejor de mi
y a cambio solo recibi nada de ti....
[Coro]
La mitad de una mentira no es la verdad
no pretendas,
digas lo que digas ahora se que no
Amor a medias no es amor
La mitad de un promesa no es algo real
porque te engañas?
tus palabras no me atraparan ya no
Amor a medias no es amor.
Cuantas veces me enrredé
en las historias con las que me vendias lo que nunca fue.
Y si no sentí amor
ahora se que no fui yo
era el frio en tu corazon.
Te busqué, y aunque te tuve junto a mi
no te senti...
[Coro]
La mitad de una mentira no es la verdad
no pretendas,
Amor a medias no es amor
La mitad de un promesa no es algo real
porque te engañas?
tus palabras no me atraparan ya no
Amor a medias no es amor.
********
Although you look for one, now there’s no reason
to be with you yet be lonely
I tell you how love ends up
like a prayer said without faith
I gave you my best
And you gave nothing back
Half a lie is not the truth
Don’t pretend
You can say what you want
But now I know that half a love
Isn’t love at all
Half a promise isn’t anything real
Why are you trying to deceive me?
Your words won’t get me now, not now
Half a love isn’t love at all
How many times you tangled me
In the stories you betrayed me with
Stories that never happened
And if I never felt love
Now I know I’m not the cause
Of your coldheartedness
I sought you, and though I had you with me
I didn’t feel you
Coro
Throughout this song, a much animated and drunk Marcia implies the words towards Fernando while pointing at him. Fer winces at one point. He gets excited when the singer plays directly to him. Marcia gets mad, but Caro calms her. The audience is totally into it, Marcia gets back into her pointing.
Ricky congratulates Fer and everyone on their success. Fer thanks him for contracting them. Fer chastises Ariel about the award. Ariel admonishes him that he’ll see what happens at the committee meeting.
Ricky toast to Fer and Marcia’s wedding. Marcia is thrilled. Caro says now it’s time to party. Humberto wants to go home to sleep so he can be fresh for the committee meeting. Marcia invites everyone to her apartment for champagne. Fer declines.
Back at Conceptos Simon insists to Lopez that they are going. He can fire you if he wants. S- Go ahead Fire her! But you are not staying here alone with her. Lety comes out to see what is going on. Lopez continues being indignant until they are saved by the bell. His wife calls, and he changes from his authoritative yelling to very submissive baby talk to her and tells her he’s on his way home. The other three laugh hysterically. They are finally free. Lety tells them they should go now, but PM worries about Lety being stuck here now alone. Simon said not to worry about Lety, nothing will happen to her. Lety agrees. PM tells Simon he shouldn’t have said that.
Marcia wants to know why Fer won’t go to her house. He tells her that he has to go to Conceptos to see how Lety is doing with the balance. She goes into a drunken tantrum…oh fine…go ahead then. She tells him multiple times.
Ana Leticia presses Caro to learn if Fer has an amante. Caro tries to get away from her.
Santiago tells Ariel that he met Lichita’s boyfriend, Ariel wants to meet him now. He goes over. She introduces them and he asks them questions that the both answer differently and the gig is up. That Ariel, he’s such a swift guy!! He asks if they are getting married, and Alicia says maybe, and he says well then, he’ll be able to lend you the money to get your car back. Bore is impactado. Abicia is mad. Bore takes the fast road away from her. Ari then tells Santi that is not her boyfriend. Bore goes backstage to talk with Luigi and fights with Cristina over who gets the exclusive interview. Luigi enjoys that they fight over him, he trys to solve it, but Bore gives in and lets Cristina go first, that he’ll just wait right there. Just right there, in the lounge with all the dancers preparing to undress. Yeah, just wait right there for a little while.
Marcia gets ready to leave, at least Ariel makes sure that she isn’t driving. That’s a nice brotherly thing to do.
He continues his conversation with Santi who hears that Conceptos is having a meeting. Ariel says that it’s going to be rough because he wants to sell his shares in Conceptos. Santi says wait really? Everyone knows that Conceptos has a hard time with the banks and that it is deeply in debt. Ariel is impactado.
Now it’s time to see if Lety makes or breaks the day. Someone gets one or the other at least.
Ana Leticia talks to Bore and asks if she can confess something, she tells him about her many surgeries and he says he can’t tell at all, that she looks perfect. She’s like Copperfield, magic, magic, magic. She tells him she had three liposuctions at the same time, can he imagine?

We are treated to an amateur, very amateur Rockettes show back in the salon. That seemed a bit useless to the event but, whatever. Fer asks Marcia if she got in touch with Ariel and she said no, he’s here now. Fer essentially begs her to stop drinking and takes away her champagne. She instantly grabs another from between T&H.
Ana Leticia continues to discuss her surgery with Bore with a flower in his hair. Marcia is introduced to him and is polite but tells them Ana Leticia has to come with her because Ari is here and she hasn’t greeted T&H yet. Once they leave, Bore tells his cameraman (now that guy is a true feo) that he hopes that she doesn’t come back over because all she talked about was Liposuction and surgery and Botox and he thinks the only thing she hasn’t done is her stomach. I think he wishes she’d staple her mouth. She’s crazy!
Back at Conceptos the cuartel has given up on waiting with PM. Sara was sleeping and dreaming about a non-existent Novio and Lola has to go home to get her children from Juanita, who has to get home by herself and the metro is going to close. Simon tells Lola to take Sara because if Lola goes with Sara then she will scare away all the thieves anyway. Sara retorts that the only one who is going to be in trouble is Paula Maria if she stays here with that jerk.
Then we flash to an 80’s ish suggestive pseudo rock number that Abitchia ends up crashing out at the end. This number, I guess, was at least pleasing to the male audience I suppose. Santiago remarks at how lovely she is. Ariel says how much do you want to spend. If you have 50,000 pesos, you can spend the night with her. She overhears and goes to smack Ari.
Sarah pounds on the door of Lopez to ask if they can all go. Just when they think maybe he’s asleep and they can sneak out, he opens. PM asks if she can finish tomorrow. He jokes that maybe she could finish the next day, or next week. He yells at them and says no, you must finish today. She tells him she wouldn’t finish until 5 am! He says well I’m in the same boat. Simon sticks up for her and tells him to stop yelling at them. Roller Derby chick busts out and also yells for him to stop yelling and to show respect. He says his problem isn’t with her. He doesn’t want problems with her (of course not, she could take him in a second). He goes back in with a squeak of his bald cranium. PM tells them not to worry about it and to go home. They will but Sara tells Simon not to fall asleep or even blink because Lopez might step out of line. Simon says he’ll have to step over my line first. Just in case you didn’t think he would do such a thing to an employee, he pokes his antennae back out of the door and makes a kissy/ licky face. Eww.
Ariel continues hassling Abitchia about Santiago. He asks her if she brought her photo and makes sure he informs her what a wealthy financier Santi is. He makes sure to mention to him her six semesters of Finance. Marcia comes to grab him and he leaves them alone. Santiago asks then if she would like to go somewhere to chat about finances. She says no. She actually blows him off and runs over to Bore begging him to fake he is her novio.
The dancers run back in the dressing room and Luigi congratulates them. He sees Irmita, and worries that she is ill again. Did she pass out again? No she says she’s fine. He tells her that she should go home. She doesn’t think she wants to go to her house.
Back in the salon Bitchita explains to Bore that that guy over there is acosting her so she told him she has a jealous boyfriend and that he needs to leave her alone. Bore gets freaked out that she has a jealous boyfriend. She reminds him that he’s the boyfriend. He boldly asks what he can do for the young man. Abitchita’s plan worked, he frightened away Ariel’s slimy buddy. Now this guy trys to move in for a piece and she tempers him. So he goes to leave, but she asks him for another favor, now to help with that other guy, the one with the yuk face!!
We are now in the salon when Caro introduces HA*ASH. When I went to post this I now see that Amanda has already “spoiled” you, but since I love this song and spent the time on this I’m leaving it in for your enjoyment again. It appears slightly different at least.
I. Qué Hago Yo?
II. by Ha-Ash
III. album: Mundos Opuestos (2005)
Entraste como un rayo de luz
Como un aire encantador
Liberaste con tu hechizo
A mi recluso corazón
Tu dulzura corrió por mis venas
Creí en tu intención
No pensé que fuese un engaño
Ni una mentira tu amor
Me dices que te esta llamando
Te vas sin un adiós
Sé muy bien que harás en sus brazos
Dime que hago yo
CORO
Que hago con mis labios
Si me ruegan tus besos
Que hago con mis manos
Cuando suplican tu regreso
Que hago con mis noches
Que hago con mis días
Que hago con tu esencia que se aferra a la mía
Dime que hago yo
Hablamos solo cuando puedes
Te abrazo al esconder
Que no haría para tenerte
A mi lado al amanecer
Mis amigos dicen que te olvide
Que antes de ti no era igual
Antes de ti mi vida no tenia sentido
Antes de ti no sabia amar
Coro x 2
Que hago yo
You came in like a ray of light,
Like an enchanted breeze,
With your charm you freed
My cloistered heart
Your sweetness once ran through my veins
I thought you had good intentions
I didn’t think that your love
Could be a lie or deceit
You tell me she is calling
You leave without a goodbye
I know quite well you’ll be in her arms
So tell me what am I to do
What do I do with my lips
If they are to beg for your kiss
What do I do with my hands
When they pray for your return
What do I do with my nights
What do I do with my days
What do I do with this essence of you which clings to me
Tell me, what do I do?
We speak only when you’re able to
In hiding, I hold you
What I wouldn’t do to wake
With you by my side
My friends say I should forget you
Who, before you, I wasn’t the same
Before you, my life made no sense
Before you, I didn’t know love
What am I to do
Throughout this song Fer and Marcia are each having flashbacks of romantic moments. Hers with him, and his with, well, Lety!!! Fer smiles but Marcia just bawls. Caro looks at her and can guess what's going on.
Back in the dressing room. I- I don’t want to go to my house. L- says, oh, you want to play at the big blowout, huh. No I know, you just don’t want to be alone. You want me to come and stay and take care of you and hug you. I-Actually, lend me your phone. L-Sure who do you want to call? I-My house. L-Ok, just push 1 and send. But if you are here, who’s going to answer there? I-Um well, my phone was out of order before and I want to see if it’s been fixed. L-He tells her ok, then push 1, it’s in my memory. I- says I’m the number one? He says yes you are number one. The only one. Man, there is a human side to him afterall. She calls and I guess no one (like her estranged husband) answers so she seems pleased and agrees to go home. Luigi tells the girls to take care of their own costumes because Irma is now out. Luigi asks Juan to get a car and take her to her door, and then come back. Hurry! He gives her a kiss because she deserves it and praises her for the work she did on this spectacular. It went so well because of her. Is any one tearing up out there? I’m contemplating a tear at least.
Back at Conceptos, Lopez slams on PM’s desk to wake her up and he startles PMS. He asks Simon to take an envelope to Luigi at the event. He wonders why at this hour. Lopez says they are contracts that the dancers haven’t yet signed. Simon thinks no, it must be finished by now, they can sign in the am. Lopez questions who makes the orders, and he doesn’t care he wants it done now. So Simon grabs PM to go with him. Lopez stops him to see if she’s done with her work yet. She says no, so he says she can’t go and Simon needs to go by himself. Simon protests and says he’s not leaving her alone. Lopez assures him that he will watch over her. Simon asks who will watch over you then? He says no way am I leaving her here. Lopez orders him to go, and he keeps protesting.
Now a “Happy” Song from Ha*ash – well musically it sounds happy anyway…..
Amor a Medias
Aunque busques ya no hay
un motivo para estar a tu lado y en soledad.
Te regalo los porques de una amor que solo fue
como una oracion dicha sin fe.
Yo te di lo mejor de mi
y a cambio solo recibi nada de ti....
[Coro]
La mitad de una mentira no es la verdad
no pretendas,
digas lo que digas ahora se que no
Amor a medias no es amor
La mitad de un promesa no es algo real
porque te engañas?
tus palabras no me atraparan ya no
Amor a medias no es amor.
Cuantas veces me enrredé
en las historias con las que me vendias lo que nunca fue.
Y si no sentí amor
ahora se que no fui yo
era el frio en tu corazon.
Te busqué, y aunque te tuve junto a mi
no te senti...
[Coro]
La mitad de una mentira no es la verdad
no pretendas,
Amor a medias no es amor
La mitad de un promesa no es algo real
porque te engañas?
tus palabras no me atraparan ya no
Amor a medias no es amor.
********
Although you look for one, now there’s no reason
to be with you yet be lonely
I tell you how love ends up
like a prayer said without faith
I gave you my best
And you gave nothing back
Half a lie is not the truth
Don’t pretend
You can say what you want
But now I know that half a love
Isn’t love at all
Half a promise isn’t anything real
Why are you trying to deceive me?
Your words won’t get me now, not now
Half a love isn’t love at all
How many times you tangled me
In the stories you betrayed me with
Stories that never happened
And if I never felt love
Now I know I’m not the cause
Of your coldheartedness
I sought you, and though I had you with me
I didn’t feel you
Coro
Throughout this song, a much animated and drunk Marcia implies the words towards Fernando while pointing at him. Fer winces at one point. He gets excited when the singer plays directly to him. Marcia gets mad, but Caro calms her. The audience is totally into it, Marcia gets back into her pointing.
Ricky congratulates Fer and everyone on their success. Fer thanks him for contracting them. Fer chastises Ariel about the award. Ariel admonishes him that he’ll see what happens at the committee meeting.
Ricky toast to Fer and Marcia’s wedding. Marcia is thrilled. Caro says now it’s time to party. Humberto wants to go home to sleep so he can be fresh for the committee meeting. Marcia invites everyone to her apartment for champagne. Fer declines.
Back at Conceptos Simon insists to Lopez that they are going. He can fire you if he wants. S- Go ahead Fire her! But you are not staying here alone with her. Lety comes out to see what is going on. Lopez continues being indignant until they are saved by the bell. His wife calls, and he changes from his authoritative yelling to very submissive baby talk to her and tells her he’s on his way home. The other three laugh hysterically. They are finally free. Lety tells them they should go now, but PM worries about Lety being stuck here now alone. Simon said not to worry about Lety, nothing will happen to her. Lety agrees. PM tells Simon he shouldn’t have said that.
Marcia wants to know why Fer won’t go to her house. He tells her that he has to go to Conceptos to see how Lety is doing with the balance. She goes into a drunken tantrum…oh fine…go ahead then. She tells him multiple times.
Ana Leticia presses Caro to learn if Fer has an amante. Caro tries to get away from her.
Santiago tells Ariel that he met Lichita’s boyfriend, Ariel wants to meet him now. He goes over. She introduces them and he asks them questions that the both answer differently and the gig is up. That Ariel, he’s such a swift guy!! He asks if they are getting married, and Alicia says maybe, and he says well then, he’ll be able to lend you the money to get your car back. Bore is impactado. Abicia is mad. Bore takes the fast road away from her. Ari then tells Santi that is not her boyfriend. Bore goes backstage to talk with Luigi and fights with Cristina over who gets the exclusive interview. Luigi enjoys that they fight over him, he trys to solve it, but Bore gives in and lets Cristina go first, that he’ll just wait right there. Just right there, in the lounge with all the dancers preparing to undress. Yeah, just wait right there for a little while.
Marcia gets ready to leave, at least Ariel makes sure that she isn’t driving. That’s a nice brotherly thing to do.
He continues his conversation with Santi who hears that Conceptos is having a meeting. Ariel says that it’s going to be rough because he wants to sell his shares in Conceptos. Santi says wait really? Everyone knows that Conceptos has a hard time with the banks and that it is deeply in debt. Ariel is impactado.
Now it’s time to see if Lety makes or breaks the day. Someone gets one or the other at least.

The ORIGINAL Mexican La Fea?
I just became aware of a series called "El Amor No Es Como Lo Pintan." Apparently, it was (or was not, depending on who you ask) an earlier Mexican remake of Yo Soy Betty, La Fea.
Anybody remember this?
UPDATE: In looking at some detailed recaps, rather than the brief synopsis, I think it'd be fair to say that it was "strongly inspired by" the Colombian series (much like Ugly Betty in the US), but it might be a stretch to call it a remake.
I don't know what happened to the Greek version (Maria the Ugly, aka Maria, i Aschimi, aka Μαρία, Η Άσχημη). It was supposed to start November 6, I think, but then didn't. Legal troubles? I don't know.

Heridas de Amor Tuesday 12/5 - In which one suspects the viewers have been the victims of serious bedroom-scene editing
Lead in from yesterday: Alejandro has gotten out of jail, he surprises Miranda and Pamela, Miranda and Alejandro embrace, Liliana and her little girl Sofia show up and Miranda is bugged because Al picks up Sofia and tells her that she has the best mama in the world.
When Liliana says she and Sofia have to leave Pamela gets hit with the bitch stick and says "Good, go then!" Liliana calls her on the bad 'tude and tells Pamela she can talk to her like that but if she talks down to her daughter then she (Lil) might forget she's a lady.
Meanwhile Miranda is making nice with Sofia and promises to be her friend. Lil tells Al she'll address the cases of Chaquiras and Romeo tomorrow.
Luis Alberto has come to visit Nuria at the depressing San Llorente estate. Berta intercepts him and wants to know why he's there. She tells him Nuria doesn't remember the tragedy of her baby's death. Anyway, Nuria is heavily sedated and can't see him (Luis Alberto) now. Berta asks LA if he's in love with Nuria. He admits it and says he'll return tomorrow.
Berta calls "Cesarin" to tell him that only he can help with this new development. She asks him why he never noticed this "little problem" of LA loving Nuria before.
Flor and Renata are lazing on their chaises and discussing love. Flor wants Renata to go back to Juan since he said he'd give Renata another chance. Renata doesn't know what she feels or what she wants. Here's the situation: Just imagine, Juan leaves his free clinic and over the years he reproaches her, or even worse, he doesn't say anything to her and instead hates her in silence. Or she goes to live with him, reproaches or hates him. Dear God are those the only scenarios this self-absorbed twit can imagine?
Vicente and Luciano are meeting with Alejandro and Miranda to give Al some bad news. Julio and Cesar have stolen the last of their shareholders (a cement factory and a toy factory?) and this has dealt a mortal blow to the company. Al won't be bummed out by this news, he just wants to be alone with Miranda.
Al thanks Miranda for being with him in all these difficult times. They will decide tomorrow what they're going to do but tonight they are going to be together.
Alejandro and Miranda are in the bedroom, alone at last. Al is bare chested, a treat for the ladies. He tells Miranda the thought of this night is what saved him while he was in prison. She is his, all his, until death parts them. Slow camera pan down, past the towel around his waist, and it drops at his feet. Now we are in slow motion, always a good sign, and they kiss passionately... AIEEEEEE!!!! Scene change to a close-up of Cesar's face!
We are in the Hades that is Cesar's apartment. He's smoking and drinking (of course) and someone is relentlessly pounding on his door. It is Sanson and he is bringing the bad news that Alejandro Luque is out of jail.
Cesar wants to know how this could happen. He gave a simple order, kill a high profile inmate as he is leaving a heavily armed facility, is that so hard to carry out? Cesar calls Berta in a snit and demands she come to his apartment. She can't because she's waiting for Guapo to come for Nuria. He wants her to check to see if Miranda is in her room. Charo reports to Berta that Miranda isn't home. Berta tortures Cesar, "They'll separate eventually. Don't forget Alejandro never had a conjugal visit." Cesar says he doesn't appreciate her stupid joke. His sputtering anger amuses her immensely.
Al and Miranda are basking in the afterglow of their love...of which we missed at least 95% I might add. Their love talk consists of plans to countersue Berta and Cesar and to go after Berta for Fab's kidnapping.
Florencia is feeding bebe Enrique and gets a pain in her chest. Renata comes in with the news that Al is out of jail and that perhaps now things can return to normal. We will let the concept of "normal" in this freak show remain undefined. Renata wants a snack but Flor's not hungry. Renata tempts her with a promise of jello and milk. Urk...I did say freak show did I not? Flor puts Enrique to bed (No...don't do it!!) and departs with Renata.
Amparo tells Ramon she's busy with her classes and doesn't have time for him. It was a much longer conversation but that's the gist of it. He leaves, a tear rolls down her face.
There is a knock on Carola's door. Could it be our long lost hunk Daniel? No, it's Doctor Dull making house calls. He struck out with Renata so he's stopping by Carola's for some sympathy and hoochie koochie. He has the nerve to ask her if she loves him! Then he tells her like it is...she has to love him but he won't lie to her he doesn't love her he hopes they can be friends and that she will stay by his side in this one-sided relationship where he gets everything and she gets nothing. Amigos, yes? She nods "yes" and then he kisses her, engulfing her face.
Nuria and El Guapo kidnap bebe Enrique and drive off. Luis Alberto sees them, "That was Nuria, I'm sure of it, but she had a baby with her." He jumps in his car and drives after them, or somewhere.
Flor bursts into Berta's room, Berta who is STILL THERE taking up space. Flor demands, over Lucas's barking, that Berta get up that instant, Nuria has taken her baby, and shut that damn dog up. I don't know why these people don't carry around doggie treats, have they never known any dogs? I could have Lucas on my side in about 10 seconds, as long as it takes to heave a steak his way. This is a new snarlier Lucas. He looks like he really wants to lunge at Florencia and when Berta pokes him he takes a snap at her. Good doggie.
Al and Miranda are in bed but Al is even more covered up than before; no fair. Al says he's going after El Guapo and will work on getting his inheritance back. Miranda wants to go to the hacienda to check on her chocolate. Al says, (NOW PAY ATTENTION EVERYBODY), "No I won't permit it, (kisses her shoulders), I don't want you to go, (kisses her neck), I want you to stay by my side, to be mine always LILIANA, all mine." Yes, he called Miranda Liliana! Miranda is impactada and who can blame her? Al, how are you going to get out of this one?
Cesar tells Sanson he's sure his stupid friends gave his (Cesar's) name to Al. Sanson swears no way because they know things would go very badly for them, but now that Al is free what will Cesar do? For the moment Cesar will squash Al's business. He swore he would end "Senorita e inversiones" (a play on San Llorente Inversiones I presume) and he intends to do it. He still wants Miranda but he has patience, la pa-ci-en-cia (he poofs smoke in Sanson's face) and will bide his time. For now Renata is eating out of his hand which makes them all vulnerable. "You didn't forget our agreement, right boss?" asks Sanson. Remember, he gets Renata when Cesar is finished with her.
Flor is freaking out about Enrique's disappearance. Renata and Charo confirm that Nuria and bebe aren't in the house or garden. Berta starts to call the police but Flor shakes her and blames her for everything. Just then Faby arrives home and hears the news that Nuria stole the baby. Flor yells that she's going to kill Berta for stealing her son, she must tell Nuria to return Enrique immediately. Of course Flor collapses with heart pains. Flor weeps, Fab gives her a magic pill, Renata and Charo look confused. Berta walks over to the crib, lifts the baby pillow and looks under it, throws it back in, shrugs and walks out.
Uh oh, we're back in the bedroom, Al is still wrapped in a sheet and Miranda is fully clothed, not a good sign. He begs her not to go, it was only a mistake, nothing more. She says if he had called her Liliana over the phone or while they were signing papers she would understand (I don't believe her but OK), but while making love, while holding her in his arms, no she cannot understand that. He swears, (looking extremely fetching in his VERY snug little shorts), that it meant absolutely nothing. They go on and on (and on and on) until she says "OK fine, CESAR, you're right." "What did you call me?" Al asks, incredulous. Do I even want to go on with this adolescent conversation?
Thank God, saved by the cell, but oh dear it's Liliana for Al. She's so sorry to interrupt (their first night together...bitch) but it's muy importante. Miranda throws the phone and blasts out.
After getting his rocks off Juan tells Carola he doesn't wish to hurt her. She decides to make a snack but as she talks Juan sees Renata's face and he recalls the happy times when they were together. Then she turns back into Carola. She's all happy and he's...not. She says the pain will pass. Oops, he sees Renata's face again which allows him to kiss Carola who Juan thinks is Renata but who we know is Carola. Just then Raul enters with Veronica and Erika and it's weird trips incorporated in the apartment with pink walls.
Miranda is leaving and Al is running after her, begging her to stay. He grabs her, throws her over his shoulder and carries her back up to the bedroom. She's even beating his back just like in the Popeye cartoons when Bluto steals Olive Oyl. I don't usually go for the caveman routine but anything that moves this plot line along is OK by me.
Back in the pink apartment Erika tells Raul she never thought his bro would cheat on her friend. Veronica reminds her about all the stuff Cesar bought for Renata in NY, "What, you thought it was all for free?" Juan announces that yes (he puts his arm around Carola) he is starting a relationship with Carola because Renata doesn't believe in him and is afraid of loving him. Veronica asks if he is going to divorce Renata. Juan says if she wants a divorce she will have to pay for it by spending a weekend alone with him. Veronica says Renata won't do it. Juan says she will. He says all this in front of Carola who clearly has no pride.
Al throws Miranda on the bed and tries to weasel his way out of his major faux pas. "Blah blah just a mistake!" "Blah blah while making love to me?" He finally tells her that the call was essential, he has to go to court tomorrow and every week to register while he is out on bail. If he doesn't show up they will arrest him. Now doesn't Miranda think that is important enough to call about? I'm thinking yes, so important I'm surprised Liliana didn't mention it sooner instead of waiting until nighttime when Al and Miranda were sure to be in bed, but I digress.
This conversation gos on ad nauseum until finally Alejandro asks, "Don't all the obstacles we conquered together count for anything?" She tries to leave but he holds her (pins her down really) and tells her he's going to prove his love to her, body and soul. She cries, "Don't! Stop! Don't...stop...don't, stop, don't stop. Don't stop! And the romantic music reaches a crescendo as the closing credits roll over numerous scenes of Miranda and Alejandro together and in love.
OK Gloria, we can take it, just how much of the good stuff was left on the cutting room floor?
When Liliana says she and Sofia have to leave Pamela gets hit with the bitch stick and says "Good, go then!" Liliana calls her on the bad 'tude and tells Pamela she can talk to her like that but if she talks down to her daughter then she (Lil) might forget she's a lady.
Meanwhile Miranda is making nice with Sofia and promises to be her friend. Lil tells Al she'll address the cases of Chaquiras and Romeo tomorrow.
Luis Alberto has come to visit Nuria at the depressing San Llorente estate. Berta intercepts him and wants to know why he's there. She tells him Nuria doesn't remember the tragedy of her baby's death. Anyway, Nuria is heavily sedated and can't see him (Luis Alberto) now. Berta asks LA if he's in love with Nuria.

He still wants Miranda but he has patience, la pa-ci-en-cia (he poofs smoke in Sanson's face) and will bide his time. For now Renata is eating out of his hand which makes them all vulnerable. "You didn't forget our agreement, right boss?" asks Sanson. Remember, he gets Renata when Cesar is finished with her.
Flor is freaking out about Enrique's disappearance. Renata and Charo confirm that Nuria and bebe aren't in the house or garden. Berta starts to call the police but Flor shakes her and blames her for everything. Just then Faby arrives home and hears the news that Nuria stole the baby. Flor yells that she's going to kill Berta for stealing her son, she must tell Nuria to return Enrique immediately. Of course Flor collapses with heart pains. Flor weeps, Fab gives her a magic pill, Renata and Charo look confused. Berta walks over to the crib, lifts the baby pillow and looks under it, throws it back in, shrugs and walks out.
Uh oh, we're back in the bedroom, Al is still wrapped in a sheet and Miranda is fully clothed, not a good sign. He begs her not to go, it was only a mistake, nothing more. She says if he had called her Liliana over the phone or while they were signing papers she would understand (I don't believe her but OK), but while making love, while holding her in his arms, no she cannot understand that. He swears, (looking extremely fetching in his VERY snug little shorts), that it meant absolutely nothing. They go on and on (and on and on) until she says "OK fine, CESAR, you're right." "What did you call me?" Al asks, incredulous. Do I even want to go on with this adolescent conversation?
Thank God, saved by the cell, but oh dear it's Liliana for Al. She's so sorry to interrupt (their first night together...bitch) but it's muy importante. Miranda throws the phone and blasts out.
After getting his rocks off Juan tells Carola he doesn't wish to hurt her. She decides to make a snack but as she talks Juan sees Renata's face and he recalls the happy times when they were together. Then she turns back into Carola. She's all happy and he's...not. She says the pain will pass. Oops, he sees Renata's face again which allows him to kiss Carola who Juan thinks is Renata but who we know is Carola. Just then Raul enters with Veronica and Erika and it's weird trips incorporated in the apartment with pink walls.
Miranda is leaving and Al is running after her, begging her to stay. He grabs her, throws her over his shoulder and carries her back up to the bedroom. She's even beating his back just like in the Popeye cartoons when Bluto steals Olive Oyl. I don't usually go for the caveman routine but anything that moves this plot line along is OK by me.
Back in the pink apartment Erika tells Raul she never thought his bro would cheat on her friend. Veronica reminds her about all the stuff Cesar bought for Renata in NY, "What, you thought it was all for free?" Juan announces that yes (he puts his arm around Carola) he is starting a relationship with Carola because Renata doesn't believe in him and is afraid of loving him. Veronica asks if he is going to divorce Renata. Juan says if she wants a divorce she will have to pay for it by spending a weekend alone with him. Veronica says Renata won't do it. Juan says she will. He says all this in front of Carola who clearly has no pride.
Al throws Miranda on the bed and tries to weasel his way out of his major faux pas. "Blah blah just a mistake!" "Blah blah while making love to me?" He finally tells her that the call was essential, he has to go to court tomorrow and every week to register while he is out on bail. If he doesn't show up they will arrest him. Now doesn't Miranda think that is important enough to call about? I'm thinking yes, so important I'm surprised Liliana didn't mention it sooner instead of waiting until nighttime when Al and Miranda were sure to be in bed, but I digress.
This conversation gos on ad nauseum until finally Alejandro asks, "Don't all the obstacles we conquered together count for anything?" She tries to leave but he holds her (pins her down really) and tells her he's going to prove his love to her, body and soul. She cries, "Don't! Stop! Don't...stop...don't, stop, don't stop. Don't stop! And the romantic music reaches a crescendo as the closing credits roll over numerous scenes of Miranda and Alejandro together and in love.
OK Gloria, we can take it, just how much of the good stuff was left on the cutting room floor?

La Fea Más Bella #160 12/5/06 True love can create miracles
I apologize if I left anything important out of the summary. It's final exam time for me, so my mind is a little distracted! If I missed or explained anything incorrectly please put a post and myself or one of the lovely Fea ladies will try to help you! Thanks for your understanding!
Lety wonders if Fernando deserves her help. She paces her office, unsure of what to do.
In the bathroom the cuartel and la Oxi continue their war of the words. Sara challenges Alicia to try and stop her. Alicia tell them that even if they wore all of Alicia’s make-up they would not be allowed to enter the event. To prove her point, Alicia calls Marcia to tell her that the cuartel is meddling with the event. The cuartel tease her for calling Marcia, just like a little scared schoolgirl. Lola tells Alicia not to be ridiculous and to hang up the phone. Alicia continues with her conversation and asks Marcia if the cuartel is can go to the event. Sara fights for the control of the phone. Alicia warns Marcia that the cuartel just want to convince her to let them to go to the event. Alicia holds the phone up so that the cuartel can hear Marcia scream out that shouldn’t even think about going. Alicia triumphantly wiggles out of the bathroom with her clown kit.
Luigi and the dancers enter the dressing room and applaud themselves. Luigi calls the girls divine. Luigi II (we’ll call him Two) enters and high fives Luigi. Luigi again flatters the dancers. Luigi tells Juan not to allow Irmita to do anything. (Juan is the hair guy) He brings a chair over to Irmita and tells her she’s not allowed to move from the chair and to supervise from the chair. Irmita says she’ll stay.
Alicia continues talking to Marcia. The cuartel exits the bathroom at the same time Fernando and Omar gets off the elevator. Alicia hangs up with Marcia and walks over to Fernando to ask if she can go with him to the event. He and Omar laugh. Fernando says no. Alicia asks Fernando if he’s going alone. Yes, Fernando confirms and emphasizes that he is going alone. The cuartel say good-bye to everyone, but not before Lopez comes out to tell PM she can’t leave. PM asks Fernando if it’s her hour to leave. He agrees. Lopez says that’s true, but she has too much work to do before she can leave.
Luigi nervously walks around the dressing room. He tells Two how to do the dancer’s make-up. He talks to the dancers and then moves Irmita to the couch. He’s freaking out because Ha-ash is not there yet. Marcia walks into the room and asks Luigi to guess who came to the event. He guesses Ricky Martin, but he gets crazy Ana Leticia! Luigi makes over her and how beautiful she is.
PM and Lopez argue some more about staying. Fernando comes over to Lopez and half embraces him. Fernando asks Lopez if he’s going to the event. Lopez tells Fernando that he is not going. Fernando tells Lopez that he’ll miss him at the event! Lopez says he would love to go, but since Martha has been incapacitated, work is behind. He needs PM to help him with this urgent work. PM pleads with Fernando to let her go to the event. Fernando tells PM he would love to let her go to the event, but Lopez is her boss. Fernando whispers to Lopez to be good. Lopez tells PM to cancel her plans and go back to work. They’re going to be staying very late in the office – the two of them… alone.
Omar and Fernando talk in Fernando’s office about the balance again. Omar hopes that God will bless them. Fernando sarcastically agree. They pensively look at “God’s” office.
Sara volunteers to stay with PM. The rest of the cuartel agrees. PM worries about the kids, but Juana say she’ll take care of it. Saimon enters. He goes on about his future as a computer programmer and then snuggles up to PM. She tells him that Lopez is making her stay in the office. Saimon says that PM can not possibly stay alone. The cuartel tells him that they’re all staying too. Saimon gives one of his little speeches.
Omar and Fernando enter Lety’s office and ask if the balance is done. She tells that it is not. They cannot believe that Lety does not have the balance finished. Omar tries to calm Fernando, who replies (not so calmly) that he is very calm. Fernando tells Omar to leave. Omar exits the office. Fernando asks Lety to honestly answer if she doesn’t want to make up the balance.
Luigi dances around with AL. She walks over to the dancers and does some weird move. She describes her plastic surgery to Luigi. They took some things and they put some things into her body. Luigi tells AL that her boobs are nice, but what did they take. He checks her waist to see if it really is smaller. Marcia looks at and talks to AL like she cannot believe that’s really her sister. Luigi take AL back over to the dancers. Marcia asks Irmita what she’s doing there. Irmita tells Marcia that Luigi needs her (Irmita).
Lety tells Fernando that they’ll discover if she wants to make up the balance. Fernando reminds Lety how important it is for him that she fakes the balance. His life, his future, his credibility, his honor is in her hands. He reminds her that he loves her and is depending on her completely.
Carolina enters to tell Luigi that Ha-ash and some of the invitees have arrived. She greets AL. AL asks Marcia where Fernando is. AL reads Marcia’s face and asks if she and Fernando cancelled the wedding. AL reminds Marcia that she acquired her new appearance just for the wedding. AL loudly asks if the happy couple are having problems. Marcia pulls AL to the side to calm her and says that she and Fernando are having some problems. AL loudly asks if Fernando has a lover. In the funniest move Marcia’s made in a long, long time she chokes AL and tells her to be quiet.
Fernando tells Lety that it’s obvious that she no longer wants him, but if she ever cared about him and if any of this sentiment remains, would she please, please fix the balance. He begs. He needs her, she doesn’t know how much. He tells her that he loves her and she sadly replies that she loves him as well. He comes over and kisses her. She doesn’t resist.
Fernando’s phone rings; Lety breaks the kiss and tells him to answer. He screeches out a hello. Marcia asks why he is speaking to her with so much hate. She says it’s for the invitees and his parents. He says that he’s on his way. Fernando hangs up. Lety tells him good night. He says that he cannot leave Lety like this. He asks again if she’s going to fake the balance for him. Lety says she’ll fix the balance tonight. She tells Fernando that she’s not going to the event, that she would rather remain at Conceptos, working. He promises that tomorrow Marcia Villaroel will disappear from his life. He says that it will be their day. He kisses her good-bye and says he’ll see her tomorrow. Lety breaks down in tears.
Fernando leaves the office and runs into the cuartel. He asks why they’re still all there. They tell him that they’re staying for PM. Sara pets Fernando’s tie. Omar enters and they leave for the event. Omar asks if Lety is going to fake the balance. When Fernando says yes, Omar asks how Fernando got her to do it. Fernando explains that he just spoke honestly with Lety. Omar tries to make a joke out of it but Fernando says the only important thing is that Lety is going to fix the balance. Alicia enters the room and asks Omar if he can give her a ride to the event. Fernando gets a kick out of the fact that Alicia wants to go to the event with Omar. He says that it is the least that Omar should have to do for her. Omar begrudgingly accepts. Alicia asks if it will bother Fernando if she rides in Omar’s car. Fernando says as long as it’s not his (Fernando’s) car it’s fine.
AL and Caro walk around the event. AL asks Caro if she knows if Fernando has a lover. Caro won’t give up any information so AL says she’ll go with Luigi because he’s more fun. Meanwhile, Humberto asks Marcia where is Fernando. She says he’s finishing things at the office and then will be there. Humberto cannot believe that Fernando would miss this great event. Marcia says this won’t happen. Caro enters the scene and tells everyone that the Luigi and Ha-ash are prepared for the festival. Humberto continues talking about Fernando’s absence. Marcia throws back some champagne.
Lety stares at Fernando’s photo on her monitor. She remembers the conversation they just had in her office and the kiss that followed. Lety resolves to herself to help Fernando. PM, Lola and Sara enter to ask if Lety is going to the event. Lety lies and says she wasn’t invited. She also tells them that she’ll be at the office until about eleven at night. They ask about the balance. She tells the cuartel that it’s finished. They tell Lety about the confrontation with Lopez. Sara volunteers to help Lety, but refuses the help. Lety explains that she’s working with confidential information. The cuartel reminds her that they’ll be outside in the secretaries’ area if Lety needs their help. They leave the office and Lety turns back to the picture on the monitor. She says that she will fake the balance because she doesn’t want to destroy Fernando and because she continues to be very much in love with Fernando.
Fernando pushes Alicia out of his way to get to his parents and their group. Humberto scolds Fernando for being late. He asks Fernando if he has everything ready for the meeting tomorrow. Fernando says yes, of course. Omar comes over to greet Humberto. Fernando walks over to Marcia and leans in for a kiss. Marcia rejects him. Teresita doesn’t miss a moment and notices the chilly reception.
Tomas calls Lety and asks what’s going on. Lety tells him that she spoke with Fernando and that Fernando needs her and the fake balance. She cannot ruin his life. Tomas sarcastically says he can understands. Tomas scolds her. He asks Lety if she’s going to continue to allow Fernando to take advantage of her. No, she says. Tomorrow, Conceptos will be over for her. She asks Tomas if he has Filmo Imagen’s balance ready. Yes, he replies. She tells Tomas that all of this will be over tomorrow and then she’s going to disappear. Tomas says he hopes Lety knows what she’s doing, she’s saving Fernando. Lety says she’s tired all of the vengeance. Tomas thinks that Lety is still being deceived. He says he doesn’t want her crying to him anymore. Lety says she is not going to cry anymore. She knows very well what she is doing. Tomas asks Lety how late she is working. She tells him that she’ll be at the office until about 11pm. Tomas asks if Lety wants him to come for her. Of course she tells him, and then asks why he wants to know. He reminds her that tonight is his final night with Alicia. Alicia invited him to dinner in her apartment at 10pm. She asks how Alicia will feed him if she doesn’t even have enough money to feed herself. He tells Lety that love causes miracles. Yeah, because everything turned out so well with Fernando. Tomas explains that his situation is different. Lety tells Tomas to go out with his Oxi. She warns him to be careful. Tomas asks how Lety is going to get home. She says she’ll figure it out, but he is not allowed to shut off his phone. He tells her he loves her and then hangs up the phone so he can solve his problems with his coat.
At the event Alicia to Marcia complains that the Cannes event has not started. Caro passes Alicia and confirms the show will start soon. Caro walks off to greet some man from Televisa. Marcia asks Alicia why Alicia doesn’t leave, if she’s in such a hurry. Alicia says that she must stay and socialize with everyone. Marcia says no one will notice if Alicia leaves. Alicia pretends to be offended. Alicia says that she needs “someone” to take her to the supermarket. Marcia declares several times that she will not take Alicia to the market. Alicia quietly curses Marcia. Meanwhile, Caro talks to some man that I’m supposed to know, but I just don’t. They walk off the stage to find Luigi.
Luigi reminds the dancers, again, that they’re dancing for an important, celebratory event. AL gives her two cents as well. Everyone except Luigi loves it. Caro enters with the man who’s name I’m supposed to know. (MWNISTK). Luigi introduces AL to MWNISTK. Caro warns Luigi that the show should be starting. Luigi puts Caro in charge of MWNISTK. She, MWNISTK and AL struggle to get through the door frame.
Fernando speaks with Humberto about the business and the Golden Lion that Conceptos won. Teresita is proud that their business won such a magnanimous award. Caro enters ands asks if everyone is ready. Humberto says that Ariel has not arrived. Fernando thinks they should start anyway because this is obviously not important to Ariel. Humberto agrees. Caro walks to the microphone and greets everyone. She thanks everyone for coming. Teresita asks Marcia what’s going on with Fernando. Marcia says that it’s nothing, just like always.
Luigi paces the dressing room. The moment of truth has arrived! He’s freaking out. Irmita calms him with his herbal remedy.
Caro goes over how important this award is for Conceptos and for Mexico. She introduces Fernando. Fernando acknowledges his father and the work that he put in to make Conceptos the company that it is. Humberto holds up the Golden Lion. Humberto says he wasn’t sure that Fernando could assume the presidency, but now under Fernando’s direction Conceptos won this great prize! Fernando thinks to himself that if his father only knew that the company was embargoed. Humberto thanks Teresita as well and to everyone who has taken part in Conceptos. Alicia and Omar lead Teresita to the stage. (The boobies must have weighed her down). Teresita gives another rousing speech with lots of thanks. Alicia brushes her hair and ask Marcia if she looks okay. She must look good when Humberto calls her to the stage. Marcia sarcastically laughs. Humberto thanks Marcia who drunkenly enters the stage. She says thanks and giggles. Omar comes up to the stage to say a few words and gets a little emotional while talking about the fight for this dream. Humberto gives special thanks to Luigi. Alicia stands before Humberto says her name, thinking that she is the one who will get special thanks. Luigi cries and says nothing. Fernando leaves the stage with Marcia chasing close behind.
Lety’s phone rings. Fernando asks Lety how everything is going. She says that the balance is going okay. Fernando says he’s asking about her, not the balance. Some girl enters and asks if she can help Fernando remove her scarf from his buttons. He pushes her away. Fernando asks how Lety feels. She says she’s fine. Next he asks Lety if she needs something to eat. Lety says that she’s okay. Fernando says that he’s very happy. Lety says that’s good and that the balance will be done tomorrow. HE says that he’ll come by at eleven. Lety says that’s not necessary. “For you, no, but for me, yes.” He hangs up and leaves the room. Marcia listens to the whole conversation in the background. For once, Fernando doesn’t end the conversation with an “I love you.”
I couldn’t think of a good spoiler so here’s a little regalito from me to you. It will make sense tomorrow. ;-)
Entraste como un rayo de luz
Como un aire encantador
Liberaste con tu hechizo
A mi recluso corazón
You entered like a ray of light
Like an enchanted air.
You liberated with your spell,
My imprisoned heart.
Tu dulzura corrió por mis venas
Creí en tu intención
No pensé que fuese un engaño
Ni una mentira tu amor
Your sweetness ran through my veins
I believed in your intention.
I didn’t think it was deception
or a lie, your love.
Me dices que te esta llamando
Te vas sin un adiós
Sé muy bien que harás en sus brazos
Dime que hago yo
You tell me that she’s calling you.
In the bathroom the cuartel and la Oxi continue their war of the words. Sara challenges Alicia to try and stop her. Alicia tell them that even if they wore all of Alicia’s make-up they would not be allowed to enter the event. To prove her point, Alicia calls Marcia to tell her that the cuartel is meddling with the event. The cuartel tease her for calling Marcia, just like a little scared schoolgirl. Lola tells Alicia not to be ridiculous and to hang up the phone. Alicia continues with her conversation and asks Marcia if the cuartel is can go to the event. Sara fights for the control of the phone. Alicia warns Marcia that the cuartel just want to convince her to let them to go to the event. Alicia holds the phone up so that the cuartel can hear Marcia scream out that shouldn’t even think about going. Alicia triumphantly wiggles out of the bathroom with her clown kit.
Luigi and the dancers enter the dressing room and applaud themselves. Luigi calls the girls divine. Luigi II (we’ll call him Two) enters and high fives Luigi. Luigi again flatters the dancers. Luigi tells Juan not to allow Irmita to do anything. (Juan is the hair guy) He brings a chair over to Irmita and tells her she’s not allowed to move from the chair and to supervise from the chair. Irmita says she’ll stay.
Alicia continues talking to Marcia. The cuartel exits the bathroom at the same time Fernando and Omar gets off the elevator. Alicia hangs up with Marcia and walks over to Fernando to ask if she can go with him to the event. He and Omar laugh. Fernando says no. Alicia asks Fernando if he’s going alone. Yes, Fernando confirms and emphasizes that he is going alone. The cuartel say good-bye to everyone, but not before Lopez comes out to tell PM she can’t leave. PM asks Fernando if it’s her hour to leave. He agrees. Lopez says that’s true, but she has too much work to do before she can leave.
Luigi nervously walks around the dressing room. He tells Two how to do the dancer’s make-up. He talks to the dancers and then moves Irmita to the couch. He’s freaking out because Ha-ash is not there yet. Marcia walks into the room and asks Luigi to guess who came to the event. He guesses Ricky Martin, but he gets crazy Ana Leticia! Luigi makes over her and how beautiful she is.
PM and Lopez argue some more about staying. Fernando comes over to Lopez and half embraces him. Fernando asks Lopez if he’s going to the event. Lopez tells Fernando that he is not going. Fernando tells Lopez that he’ll miss him at the event! Lopez says he would love to go, but since Martha has been incapacitated, work is behind. He needs PM to help him with this urgent work. PM pleads with Fernando to let her go to the event. Fernando tells PM he would love to let her go to the event, but Lopez is her boss. Fernando whispers to Lopez to be good. Lopez tells PM to cancel her plans and go back to work. They’re going to be staying very late in the office – the two of them… alone.
Omar and Fernando talk in Fernando’s office about the balance again. Omar hopes that God will bless them. Fernando sarcastically agree. They pensively look at “God’s” office.
Sara volunteers to stay with PM. The rest of the cuartel agrees. PM worries about the kids, but Juana say she’ll take care of it. Saimon enters. He goes on about his future as a computer programmer and then snuggles up to PM. She tells him that Lopez is making her stay in the office. Saimon says that PM can not possibly stay alone. The cuartel tells him that they’re all staying too. Saimon gives one of his little speeches.
Omar and Fernando enter Lety’s office and ask if the balance is done. She tells that it is not. They cannot believe that Lety does not have the balance finished. Omar tries to calm Fernando, who replies (not so calmly) that he is very calm. Fernando tells Omar to leave. Omar exits the office. Fernando asks Lety to honestly answer if she doesn’t want to make up the balance.
Luigi dances around with AL. She walks over to the dancers and does some weird move. She describes her plastic surgery to Luigi. They took some things and they put some things into her body. Luigi tells AL that her boobs are nice, but what did they take. He checks her waist to see if it really is smaller. Marcia looks at and talks to AL like she cannot believe that’s really her sister. Luigi take AL back over to the dancers. Marcia asks Irmita what she’s doing there. Irmita tells Marcia that Luigi needs her (Irmita).
Lety tells Fernando that they’ll discover if she wants to make up the balance. Fernando reminds Lety how important it is for him that she fakes the balance. His life, his future, his credibility, his honor is in her hands. He reminds her that he loves her and is depending on her completely.
Carolina enters to tell Luigi that Ha-ash and some of the invitees have arrived. She greets AL. AL asks Marcia where Fernando is. AL reads Marcia’s face and asks if she and Fernando cancelled the wedding. AL reminds Marcia that she acquired her new appearance just for the wedding. AL loudly asks if the happy couple are having problems. Marcia pulls AL to the side to calm her and says that she and Fernando are having some problems. AL loudly asks if Fernando has a lover. In the funniest move Marcia’s made in a long, long time she chokes AL and tells her to be quiet.
Fernando tells Lety that it’s obvious that she no longer wants him, but if she ever cared about him and if any of this sentiment remains, would she please, please fix the balance. He begs. He needs her, she doesn’t know how much. He tells her that he loves her and she sadly replies that she loves him as well. He comes over and kisses her. She doesn’t resist.
Fernando’s phone rings; Lety breaks the kiss and tells him to answer. He screeches out a hello. Marcia asks why he is speaking to her with so much hate. She says it’s for the invitees and his parents. He says that he’s on his way. Fernando hangs up. Lety tells him good night. He says that he cannot leave Lety like this. He asks again if she’s going to fake the balance for him. Lety says she’ll fix the balance tonight. She tells Fernando that she’s not going to the event, that she would rather remain at Conceptos, working. He promises that tomorrow Marcia Villaroel will disappear from his life. He says that it will be their day. He kisses her good-bye and says he’ll see her tomorrow. Lety breaks down in tears.
Fernando leaves the office and runs into the cuartel. He asks why they’re still all there. They tell him that they’re staying for PM. Sara pets Fernando’s tie. Omar enters and they leave for the event. Omar asks if Lety is going to fake the balance. When Fernando says yes, Omar asks how Fernando got her to do it. Fernando explains that he just spoke honestly with Lety. Omar tries to make a joke out of it but Fernando says the only important thing is that Lety is going to fix the balance. Alicia enters the room and asks Omar if he can give her a ride to the event. Fernando gets a kick out of the fact that Alicia wants to go to the event with Omar. He says that it is the least that Omar should have to do for her. Omar begrudgingly accepts. Alicia asks if it will bother Fernando if she rides in Omar’s car. Fernando says as long as it’s not his (Fernando’s) car it’s fine.
AL and Caro walk around the event. AL asks Caro if she knows if Fernando has a lover. Caro won’t give up any information so AL says she’ll go with Luigi because he’s more fun. Meanwhile, Humberto asks Marcia where is Fernando. She says he’s finishing things at the office and then will be there. Humberto cannot believe that Fernando would miss this great event. Marcia says this won’t happen. Caro enters the scene and tells everyone that the Luigi and Ha-ash are prepared for the festival. Humberto continues talking about Fernando’s absence. Marcia throws back some champagne.
Lety stares at Fernando’s photo on her monitor. She remembers the conversation they just had in her office and the kiss that followed. Lety resolves to herself to help Fernando. PM, Lola and Sara enter to ask if Lety is going to the event. Lety lies and says she wasn’t invited. She also tells them that she’ll be at the office until about eleven at night. They ask about the balance. She tells the cuartel that it’s finished. They tell Lety about the confrontation with Lopez. Sara volunteers to help Lety, but refuses the help. Lety explains that she’s working with confidential information. The cuartel reminds her that they’ll be outside in the secretaries’ area if Lety needs their help. They leave the office and Lety turns back to the picture on the monitor. She says that she will fake the balance because she doesn’t want to destroy Fernando and because she continues to be very much in love with Fernando.
Fernando pushes Alicia out of his way to get to his parents and their group. Humberto scolds Fernando for being late. He asks Fernando if he has everything ready for the meeting tomorrow. Fernando says yes, of course. Omar comes over to greet Humberto. Fernando walks over to Marcia and leans in for a kiss. Marcia rejects him. Teresita doesn’t miss a moment and notices the chilly reception.
Tomas calls Lety and asks what’s going on. Lety tells him that she spoke with Fernando and that Fernando needs her and the fake balance. She cannot ruin his life. Tomas sarcastically says he can understands. Tomas scolds her. He asks Lety if she’s going to continue to allow Fernando to take advantage of her. No, she says. Tomorrow, Conceptos will be over for her. She asks Tomas if he has Filmo Imagen’s balance ready. Yes, he replies. She tells Tomas that all of this will be over tomorrow and then she’s going to disappear. Tomas says he hopes Lety knows what she’s doing, she’s saving Fernando. Lety says she’s tired all of the vengeance. Tomas thinks that Lety is still being deceived. He says he doesn’t want her crying to him anymore. Lety says she is not going to cry anymore. She knows very well what she is doing. Tomas asks Lety how late she is working. She tells him that she’ll be at the office until about 11pm. Tomas asks if Lety wants him to come for her. Of course she tells him, and then asks why he wants to know. He reminds her that tonight is his final night with Alicia. Alicia invited him to dinner in her apartment at 10pm. She asks how Alicia will feed him if she doesn’t even have enough money to feed herself. He tells Lety that love causes miracles. Yeah, because everything turned out so well with Fernando.

Me dices que te esta llamando
Te vas sin un adiós
Sé muy bien que harás en sus brazos
Dime que hago yo
You tell me that she’s calling you.
You leave without good-by.
I know very well what I would do in your arms.
Tell me, what do I do?
CORO
Que hago con mis labios
Si me ruegan tus besos
Que hago con mis manos
Cuando suplican tu regreso
Que hago con mis noches
Que hago con mis días
Que hago con tu esencia que se aferra a la mía
Dime que hago yo
Chorus:
What do I do with my lips,
If they beg for your kisses?
What do I do with my hands
When they plead for your return?
What do I do with my nights?
What do I do with my days?
What do I do with your essence that clutches to mine?
Hablamos solo cuando puedes
Te abrazo al esconder
Que no haría para tenerte
A mi lado al amanecer
We talk only when you can
I emrace you in hiding
What I wouldn’t do to have
you at my side at daybreak
Mis amigos dicen que te olvide
Que antes de ti no era igual
Antes de ti mi vida no tenia sentido
Antes de ti no sabia amar
My friends say that I forgot you
That before you there was no equal.
Before you my life did not have sentiment;
Before you I did not know how to love.
Have a great night, everyone!
I know very well what I would do in your arms.
Tell me, what do I do?
