When the voltage across Vc is higher than the pulses is there no discharge of the capacitor C1 and the voltage across it is pulled high by R2. When V(C1) is pulled to a lower voltage than Vp-Vd will the base collector diode go into saturation. This increases the capacity between base and collector and the saturation-capacity will pull up base at the time where the emitter goes low. Then C1 is discharged to about the voltage Vp-Vd. And the voltage is held low due to the repeating process.

Now you have a latch.
