History Fridge / YoSoyBettyLaFea

* This kind of meshes with Fridge Brilliance, but one of the major reoccurring details of the series is Armando lying awake at night next to Marcela, replaying the words his father told him precisely about not being able to sleep because of your acts. This gets a payoff during the board of directors, but it's worth noting that the time Armando finds out about Beatriz' failed love life and feels true guilt over his actions for the first time, there's a scene where the two sit in the car. Betty remarks that she's going to see him in her dreams all night. He remarks the same. Problem is...There's a much darker undertone. It's said romantically to her, but he's not just going to dream her because he loves her; he's going to dream her all night because he's going to be thinking about his acts, just like his father said.

* Had [[spoiler: Nicolás punched Armando]] in the stomach instead of the face when he visited the Pinzóns, he would have probably wound up in the ICU at the very least for the injury to the ribs he already had and didn't want to visit a medic for. That would have been pretty horrible to look at.

* The first time before Betty and Armando [[spoiler: have sex]], Armando is initially determined not to do this to Betty - not because he doesn't care about her, but the opposite: He doesn't want to hurt her. Then, after watching her break down, he makes up his mind to "lie" about loving her and go through with it. For the first time, two very dissonant tracks play over each other (one a slow, romantic piano ballad and the other the ominous confession music used throughout the series) without either being in the process of fading out. It's an intentional clash, because both the beautiful and horrible of the scene are happening at the same time: Betty feels an explosion of love and warmth inside her chest, Armando is making one of the most difficult and potentially horrible decisions of his life by [[spoiler: making love to a woman he thinks he doesn't love partly out of pity, and partly to save his company.]]

* While [[spoiler:Beatriz is away in Cartagéna]], Armando is actually the only one to [[spoiler:catch Betty]] on television by mere accident. Of course, guilt-ridden and heartbroken, he expresses that he's probably hallucinating, but there's no way they idea of it being real didn't cross his mind. Fast-forward to when [[spoiler: Beatriz]] becomes president and wants to help other women get real help in accordance with their body instead of super-model standards, and Catalina comes to visit. Cata defends her idea from Hugo Lombardi by saying [[spoiler: Betty's appearance change]] ''was at large caused by her''. Notice how Armando reacts in contrast to most everyone present, then think about why. He knows where Catalina was just recently, he remembers the night of the show, and he knows who was missing around that time-frame. That's the face of a man putting two and two together.

* Armando's and Marcela's best friends are marginally worse than they are. It's pretty insane Marcela is able to tolerate Patricia, and it's crazy Armando doesn't punch Calderón into oblivion [[spoiler: more than once in the series]]. Unfortunately, when they became friends they were probably a lot more alike, and them not being able to cut ties with them basically means they're still unable to leave who they used to be, and that's even more true in the case of Armando. They also serve a narrative purpose as the devils on their shoulder: How much they push them aside, or are able to ignore them tells you what you need to know about their mental states and their growth as people.
