I don't want to be humiliated anymore.

I don't deserve it, and neither does your child.

That news kept me up all night. And know that I'm going to step up.

Of course you weren't! Wait, what?

I'm going to step up!

We're going to have a baby.

We're getting married!

You and I are getting married!

Yes, yes!

What's wrong?

Alright, Sunshine.

I said I'd be taking responsibility for our baby,

but I never said anything about getting married.

Oh, stop it! What?

You just said we're going to have a baby.

Yes, yes.

You'll have my support, but we don't have to get married to give it a good life.

Listen, I'll be there for you and the baby always.

-What do you think? -What do I think?

I think you are a coward!

I want nothing from you! I don't need anything from you!

I'll make do on my own!

Patty Cakes, please. Please think this through.

Don't be difficult.

Difficult? No, I'm making it very easy.

I don't want anything from you.

All I wanted was love.

Love for me and love for my baby.

I wanted us to have a home, a garden, a dog.

I don't need you. I'll fend for myself.

Don't come crying back to me later!

Patricia, please wait.

Don't do anything crazy.

Oh, I won't! I'm not a coward like you!

When my baby asks me,

"Hey, Mom, where's Dad?" I'll say, "He abandoned us."

No, don't say that.

-Yes, he did! -No, don't tell him that!

And then I'll tell him that's why he's starving.

Bastard!

Hi, Sofi. What's wrong?

That idiot Jenny never misses a chance to humiliate me.

It seems she hasn't done enough

and now she mocks me for selling these products.

She spent her paycheck on a smart watch

because my husband pays her bills.

Your ex-husband, Sofia.

Don't worry, though.

She's starting to reap what she sowed.

Hugo told her very sternly,

that she'd never walk in any of his runway shows.

She's not allowed to attend today's show.

-What's that? -This?

Hugo's creations for drag queen shows.

He designs them personally for his friends' shows.

It's very expensive clothing. These are his babies.

You don't say! They're probably heavy, huh?

-No. -Yes, they are.

I'll help you with those. I'll take them down.

You don't have to.

No, I owe you one. What are friends for?

Take this and go have some tea. Nothing to worry about here.

-Thank you! -Bye.

He's going to die!

Oh, he will. He's going to die.

We'll host his burial tomorrow.

I totally agree.

Hello.

Handsome, I'm so glad you're here.

Where's Romina?

I don't know. She might stop by later.

Have you met Vane?

Of course. Hi, Vane.

-Hi. -How are you?

I actually wanted to talk to you about her, chubs.

-Don't call me chubs! -Sorry.

My sister has always dreamed of buying a small place in Mendoza

for our great aunt, the woman who raised us.

She found a place at a great price.

It's a steal, really.

That's great. We should be good to our family.

Right, but she can't afford it.

I wanted to ask you for a favor.

Loan me $50,000.

Fabi, that's a lot of money.

I promise my sister and I will pay you back. I promise.

Yes, but after paying for the wedding

and your new car, I'm low on funds.

I shower you both with my love, but I don't have the money.

Let me get back to work. What are we doing with you hair?

I like it better this way.

There's a wild look in your eyes.

-Giovas! -What's up?

I need to ask you for a very, very special favor.

No, Sofis. Thanks, but no thanks.

If I can't help, you'll get mad and it'll cost me money.

Just don't. Thanks.

You owe me.

What is it?

As you know, Hugo doesn't want Jenny on his runway show.

Yeah.

He changed his mind.

Not only does he want her to walk the show now,

he wants her to close the show.

Don't you think that after everything she's done

that's incredibly humiliating? Not only has she ruined my life

and now she's going to be a successful model!

There must be a reason why Mr. Hugo's giving her a chance.

No, she played him for a fool.

She spun her little web and pulled him right into it.

But I won't let her get away with it.

This is the dress she's supposed to wear.

And you're going to cut it to pieces?

No, of course not! Hugo would kill me!

No, I plan to do something simpler.

You're going to hide this.

If there's no dress, she can't walk.

Sofi, you're asking me to do something really awful.

Yes, but it's not as awful as what she did to me.

This way I get my revenge and I forgive you.

Excuse me.

Am I really going to close the runway show?

Yes, yes.

And in this dress?

-Yes. -Let me see it.

Giovis, you're more sensitive than I thought.

Yes.

You're about to cry.

Oh, you cutie pie.

Jenny, it's just that...

No one can find out that I gave you this dress.

If anyone asks, just say Mr. Hugo gave it to you

or Inesita when you were in the workshop.

You cannot mention my name.

-How come? -Because...

I was told to... hide this dress.

Who told you to do that?

I can't say. I'm taking that to the grave.

I'm sick of getting in trouble with Sofia...

It was Sofia, wasn't it?

I knew that saggy, old hag had something to do with this.

Don't worry, though. Know what her problem is?

She can't stand watching me succeed.

But she'll die of envy when she sees this dress on my hot body

strutting down the catwalk.

-Your...? -Yes, my hot body.

I'm taking my dress with me and I'm going to make her jealous.

-Jenny... -Thank you, Giovis.

Welcome to the launch of our new spring line,

inspired by passion and desire.

It provides comfort, style, and above all, sensuality.

Presented to you by Hugo Lombardi and V&M, this is "Niche".

What are you doing here? Get out!

Give me $50,000 and I'm gone, honey.

I couldn't get it. He said no.

Then I'll just stay and enjoy the show.

Listen to me.

Don't try me.

No, you don't try me.

The show came out amazing, didn't it?

Hi, Inesita.

Inesita.

-Cheers. -Cheers.

Come on, girls!

I want you ten steps apart from each another.

Rhythm! Rhythm! As if you were dancing flamenco.

1-2, 1-2-3, 4-5-6, 7-8-9-10!

Just look at you walking, girl! Like a marsupial.

I'm ready, Mr. Hugo. Do you like it?

I feel like Beyoncé!

Who the hell said you could wear Drag Madonna?

-You did. -When?

That dress is sacred!

I know it is, but I was told...

No one told you anything. What's wrong with you?

I'm closing the show.

Gwendolyn, you're not closing anything!

Are you trying to get back at me, Jennifer Gwendolyn?

Is that why you're here in V&M?

Many before you have tried and have failed!

Get out! You're fired!

-Okay, but I was told... -Get out!

You're tacky, basic and ignorant! Get out!

Bleached blonde! Get out!

-This is all natural! -Natural my foot! Get out!

The other way!

What's wrong, Jenny, princess?

You're a traitor!

Hugo fired and banned me from V&M because of you.

-I'll never model again! -I didn't do anything!

Of course you did! You set me up!

-No, I didn't! -Yes, you did!

You're a terrible person!

She can't talk to you like that. Say something.

Jenny, what's wrong with your eyes?

Are they infected? Is it contagious?

No, it's not an infection. This was all your doing, "Mrs. Sofia".

Don't worry, though.

This isn't over yet. You'll see.

My doing? I didn't do anything.

I've been at my desk all day, haven't I?

She hasn't even mentioned your name.

-We should calm down. -Shut up!

Jenny! Let me explain!

Damn, Giovas. You sure lucked out.

That was low. You lied to me.

You knew I'd give Jenny the dress, didn't you?

-I did? -Yes!

I'm sorry, but I clearly asked you

to hide the dress.

You wanted to score points with her so you gave it to her.

So there's your punishment.

And regarding the $400 you owe me

for the dinner you treated her to,

I'll keep my end of the bargain: you don't owe me anything.

We're even.

Poor Giovas!

You know what they say... "Better them than me."

And now, the creator of this marvelous collection,

the one and only, Hugo Lombardi.

Accompanied by top model Vanessa Palacios.

They're asking you to go up.

-I don't want to. -You don't?

Hey, Marce, that little skank crossed the line.

Aren't you going to set her straight?

In one month.

But feel free... to place your orders online.

Go.

Mariana.

Hugo, come on over.

Come here!

Let me go. I have to check on something for your sister.

I don't care!

We need to talk, and we're going to do it now.

Let go of me!

I told you I have nothing to say to you,

unless you're willing to take my deal.

Fine! I accept.

But we're going to do things my way.

No, we're not.

I already told you what I want and I won't settle for less.

Listen to me. I don't want you anywhere near me,

so you're leaving for Malibu tomorrow.

I got the apartment with the ocean view that you wanted.

Yes, everything will be available online.

It'll be up at around 9:30PM. Thank you.

-What are you doing here? -What do you mean?

You'll be sleeping on the couch tonight.

-Marcela looked very jealous. -Yes, I know,

but I couldn't say no in front of the press and the buyers.

I don't care either way, but people are excited.

Maybe it's the clothes or maybe you and our lead model make a cute couple.

This is a nightmare! What do I do?

I'm going to hide in my office so I don't run into her.

-Please handle the press. -What about her?

Oh, I have a feeling that someone needs one of my lotions

to help with you're splotchy, puffy face from all that crying.

Congratulations! You got what you wanted!

I was fired.

You're a bad person. No, you're rotten.

I'm a rotten person? Am I a home wrecker?

No, don't get it twisted. I didn't wreck anything.

There was nothing between you two.

Efrain had stopped loving you way before I was born.

And now I understand why.

You want to be a model, you want to walk the catwalk?

Well, get to walking those streets, girl.

They are long and wide like a catwalk.

Go on! Get going!

That's it. Go on.

Use your walk to the door as a warm-up.

Thank you... thank you!

For?

Does that really make you happy?

You know I don't like Jenny, but getting someone fired?

You went too far, Sofia.

I didn't get her fired.

She made her own bed. She got what she deserved.

And I don't feel one ounce of pity her.

-Are you serious? -Yes, I am.

I imagine the apartment will be in my name, right?

I won't live somewhere where I can be evicted.

The property will be in your name. Don't worry.

Okay. I accept.

But... California is very expensive.

I think you'll need give me more money.

Don't do it for me. Do it for your baby.

It's important that he's well cared for during his first years of life.

I think you should give me $20,000 a month instead of $10,000.

$20,000 a month? Oh, please!

That's too much money! I won't give you that much.

Alright, then. Deal's off.

If I'm going to go without, I pick Manhattan over California.

I have nothing to lose. On the other hand, you do.

Just imagine the looks on everyone's faces

when they learn you're a deadbeat dad.

Think of Marcela, Margarita, Roberto...

That won't work against me.

Get your hands off me.

You're so handsome.

What are you doing here?

I was waiting for you to toast to your success.

The press is expecting you out there.

You should at least go out there and have your picture taken.

I don't want to.

Look, I know you're tired and you want to go change,

so go do that and we'll meet up at the party later.

No, you haven't paid my fees.

What?

You agreed to what we were paying you.

Yes, to the money, but I want the rest paid in kind.

-In kind? -Uh-huh.

No, this can't...

Wait, wait. This is wrong.

I can do it better.

Better?

Wait, this is wrong.

I can do it better.

Ms. Marcela, the press wants to interview the executives.

I don't care about the press!

I want to know where Armando and that woman are.

But you're so great with the press.

Leave me alone, Mariana!

Where is she?

-Tell me where she is! -What?

What are you talking about?

You know exactly what I mean. I saw her chase after you.

Where are you hiding her?

Where's Vanessa? Where are you hiding her?

Vanessa? She's not here! What's the matter with you?

I swear I've tried to stay calm, but she's provoking me.

Why did she ask you to join her on the catwalk?

Because I'm V&M's president.

Honey, you're imagining things. Calm down.

-She's in there, isn't she? -What...?

Marcela, please!

Honey!

You thought Vanessa was in Betty's office?

Why would she be there?

What?

She's probably here, huh? I'm sick of your games!

She couldn't have vanished! Where did she go?

Calm down.

You know models leave right after the show.

We should go back to the showroom, right, Mariana?

Yes, the press is waiting to interview you

and I have to post a video of you two on social media.

-Calm down. Let's have fun. -Let go!

-You're so tense. -Leave me alone!

Everything was great.

Well, almost everything.

Ines, why was Jenny wearing one of my drag queen dresses?

I don't know.

Oh, come on, Ines.

You know me very well and I know you very well.

Something in this story just doesn't add up.

I don't know what you're talking about.

You are in charge of putting away my dresses.

Did you notice if anything was missing?

No, no. I don't notice anything.

Are you sure you didn't notice anything strange?

I'm certain. I am.

Alright. You know I trust you blindly.

I'm going to go back to the party, but you can go home.

-Thank you. -You deserve it.

-Cheers! -Thank you.

Sofia.

Hurry.

No!

The party is that way.

Are you kicking me out? Who do you think you are?

No one, but we should go.

I'm the star of the show.

Yes, I understand that, but you need to rest.

No, I need to talk to Armando to help him get over his fears.

Look! It's here.

Very interesting.

Why do you care so much about what happens up there?

Are you Armando's assistant or his babysitter?

Why do you protect him so much?

You're in love with him too!

That's not true!

Armando would never date someone like you.

V&M is inspired by simple and modern designs.

We might have something in the works for the upcoming season.

Marce, what's with that look? What's wrong?

Nothing. Vanessa Palacios ruined the show for me.

She has no shame!

No shame at all. That's what I told you.

It looked like she was the one dating Armando instead of you.

Don't give me that look.

It's okay, Marce. In any case, she was escorted out.

What?

Beatriz escorted her out.

Probably following Armando's orders. Who knows where she took her.

Beatriz is here?

Where did you see those two?

I saw them getting on the elevator.

But Vanessa didn't look like she wanted to leave.

I don't know what happened, but it all seemed very strange.

Come with me.

I think they're going...

Sofia.

What did you do with Hugo's dresses?

Huh?

What did you do with the dresses for the runway show?

What did you do?

I put them away just like you asked.

How nice. I have such a good friend.

Then you'll also be able to tell me how one of those dresses

ended up in Jenny's hands.

She made a fool of herself.

Oh, that's terrible.

I don't know what you mean. What are you talking about?

Jenny thought she had to close Hugo's runway show

wearing a drag queen dress.

That's pretty naïve. How silly of her.

That's what happens to lying, opportunistic home wreckers.

Did you do this?

Out with it, Sofia! Did you do that to Jenny?

Yes! Yes, yes!

I returned the favor!

With betrayal and humiliation!

I made her believe she had to wear that dress to the show.

I enjoyed it so much!

Enough! Do you know what could've happened

if Jenny had stepped onto the catwalk in that dress?

That was very, very wrong of you.

You got me in trouble and, because of you, Jenny was fired.

I'm so sorry. Poor thing.

You should be on my side.

No! I don't betray others.

I don't.

Jenny lost her job and you're about to lose my friendship.

I hope you're happy. Now, if you'll excuse me.

Tell me, Beatriz, since when do you handle Hugo's models?

What were you doing with Vanessa Palacios?

So?

Are you going to tell me why you were with Vanessa?

As far as I know, you two aren't friends, are you?

I... noticed she wasn't feeling well, so I helped her.

You helped her?

It looked to me like you were forcing her into the elevator.

I don't think that's accurate, Patricia.

I'm sick of your lies! What kind of person are you?

Aren't you ashamed to know Armando only hired you to cover for him?

Just tell Marcela the truth.

Don't forget she's your boss, too.

I've told you everything I know.

I'm going to be very honest with you.

I don't like you at all.

Me either.

If it were up to me, I'd have you out of V&M today!

I would, too.

If I find evidence that proves you were covering for Armando,

I'll kick you out of my company, got it?

Uh-huh.

Now, get out of my sight!

-Leave! -Yes.

Bye!

I'm going to wet my lips.

Send me the pictures before you publish them.

Otherwise, I'm never having you over again.

-Excuse me. -Excuse us.

-Romi! -Congratulations.

-Cheers! -Cheers!

You're a hit.

Fabio told me what you're trying to do for your great aunt

and I think it's a very loving gesture.

You should meet her. She's an amazing woman.

She devoted her life to us. Everything was always about us.

The least I can do is get her a home for her to spend her final days.

I've spent a lot on the wedding and Fabio's new car

and I'm low on funds, but as soon as I get more money,

I'll help you.

Thank you.

I told you. He's an amazing man.

Excuse me.

Of course.

Kisses!

Bye.

You'll have to get more creative with your lies, darling.

I'm not going anywhere without that money.

It's a good thing you set that woman straight.

She shouldn't be covering for Armand.

Who knows how many other times she's helped him!

That's enough, Patricia.

I finally understand why Armando always defends her.

But I can't fire her until I have proof.

Don't worry about that.

You know I'm great at getting that.

I think we should be celebrating right now.

We should celebrate a successful runway show.

I'm really not in the mood.

And you shouldn't either in your condition.

You should take care of yourself.

Right, right.

I was thinking of you. I wanted to spend time with you.

Don't worry about me. I'll be fine.

Until Vanessa leaves, I'm not leaving Armando's side.

I'm going home.

Alright. Me too. I'm sleepy.

-Bye, Marce. -Bye.

So, what time should I stop by?

Of course I'm bringing my purse this time.

I don't need you to pick up the check.

I'll be there to soon to celebrate.

Get a load of her.

She's going to party while pregnant.

That baby's going to be born drunk.

I'd do the same if I were her.

I've been trying to get pregnant for so long, but it hasn't happened.

Don't worry. You'll be preggers in no time.

Preggers?

Don't worry.

Just get drunk.

What for?

That's how many babies are conceived. I bet that's how she was made.

A drunken night.

Marcela, please stop! You saw I didn't do anything wrong.

No, you didn't, but I saw your assistant covering for you.

What? What are you talking about?

Beatriz saved you this time, but she won't save you again.

-I warned her. -You talked to her?

-What did you tell her? -I hate that woman!

I want her out of the company!

I'll have her fired for even the slightest mistake!

Why did you do that?

Because I've had it with you trying to make me look stupid!

When I find out what Beatriz is doing, I'll have her fired

and you won't be able to stop me.

This isn't a war. She's just my assistant.

You're my fiancé. We're getting married.

-Stop defending her! -I'm not!

-I hate her! -I'm asking you to trust me!

Nothing happened and nothing will happen.

Honey, I intend on keeping my promise.

-Don't touch me. -Okay.

I'll see you tomorrow at the office.

You're in love with him!

That's not true!

Armando would never date someone like you.

I don't like you at all.

If it were up to me, you'd be out of V&M today!

If I find proof that you were covering for Armando,

I'll kick you out of my company, got it?

I don't deserve this.

Sweetie, I saw your light on

and thought you'd fallen asleep without turning it off.

No.

You're not going to bed yet?

I'm writing up a report because that's actually part of my job.

Alright. Don't stay up late.

We're a hit!

The collection finally turned out well!

Thanks to that babe!

Betty, come here! We have to celebrate. Come and join us!

Mr. Armando, there's not much to celebrate.

Yesterday I took the time to go over the company's finances

and here are the results.

You're too serious. We're celebrating.

It can't be that bad.

It is, Mr. Ricardo.

We're on the verge of being bankrupt.

According to these projections,

V&M will need over a year to recover.

Yes, and that's assuming there are no more blunders, losses

and that we stick to the plan.

We'll have to move up the seizure.

Why do we have to move so quickly?

It's the only way.

We have to hand everything over to BAR before any creditor comes our way.

Betty, find a good lawyer.

What for?

So he'll represent you and walk you through this process.

It must be someone you trust and who'll be very discreet.

Yes, sir. I'll get right on it.

Is she still mad at you?

If you only knew.

Marcela confronted her yesterday and clearly gave her a hard time.

Use your charm to calm her down.

You need her on your side. You can't argue with her.

Right now, Betty owns V&M, you, me and everyone else.

What are you doing here?

What am I doing here?

I came to confront you about what you did to Jenny.

You crossed the line. Poor thing.

Poor thing? She's a home wrecker!

She stole my husband and my children's father.

Doesn't that mean anything?

I haven't left my children. I just don't live with them.

-I still look after them. -Yeah, right!

You spent their college fund.

How dare you confront me now?

You've never defended me!

She had a job here too and she lost it because of you!

That was very wrong of you.

She only came here to make an honest living.

An honest living? I'm an honest woman!

I've been working since I was 18.

I gave you my savings so you could start your own company.

And now I have the honor of no longer having by my side

a cradle-robbing old coot

who takes his sons' money and gives it to a slut.

Don't call her that!

Enough is enough!

Don't call her that or you'll be in trouble with me.

-What are you going to do? -Just stop.

You going to hit me? That's all I need.

Come on!

That's enough!

Don't you ever get tired of fighting?

I told you not to come!

Where's your dignity?

Efrain, you don't have a leg to stand on

because Jenny shouldn't have gotten a job here.

Bravo! Great, man!

Someone's finally standing up for me!

I'd keep my mouth shut if I were you. You're not doing any better.

You two are an embarrassment! Let's go!

Where are you going? Come back here!

Get back here, you coward! Get back here!

It's not my fault. I was lied to.

I was taken advantage of.

People are very jealous.

I know, but it's not my fault.

Sofia hates me. She wants me fired.

Do you have any proof?

She admitted that Giovanis had given me the drag queen dress for me to wear.

And... are there any pictures of you wearing the dress?

I only ask because we would need some kind of proof.

But I do know that I was unfairly dismissed by Mr. Hugo.

And you have to stop that.

Of course I do!

I'll do everything I can to help you.

Yes, Nicolas, an attorney. Someone we can trust.

I don't care. I need one.

I'll call you back. Call me when you find one.

Can we talk?

Sure. What do you need?

I just... want to know why you're being...

...so short with me.

Does it have anything to do with your talk with Marcela?

Ms. Marcela didn't talk to me, she insulted me.

She insulted you?

Don't mind her. You know her. She's very emotional.

You don't need to cover for her. She's right.

My job is to manage the company's finances,

not cover for you.

Betty, nothing I say will ever be enough, but I want to apologize.

I wasn't fair to you yesterday.

You weren't fair to anyone.

I know.

And I'm sorry. That was very inconsiderate of me.

You also made me feel very uncomfortable.

In order to make up for that,

I'm going to do something I've been wanting to do for a while now.

I'm going to give you a raise.

But V&M's financial situation is terrible!

Don't worry about that. We'll deduct it from my pay if we must.

I really admire the work you do and I hope you'll accept it.

What do you say?

You don't have to.

I only have one request.

What is it? Name it.

Respect.

I ask for respect.

Treat me like a professional, not like someone who has to cover for you.
