Where will the photo shoot be?

We can do it at my mansion in Miami.

Do you like the beach? You're coming with us.

What?

If you go on that trip, the wedding's off.

You decide.

SCENES FROM THE LAST EPISODES

What? Leaving without me?

I called off the wedding.

Marcela called off the wedding.

Patricia just told me Marcela called off the wedding.

-What? - Do you know what this means?

Without that wedding, you'll lose V&M forever.

This could be the answer to setting you free.

Take control of your life again.

-What are you doing here? -Where's Marcela?

My sister quit and left me her position.

From now on, I'll be taking over for her.

I know everything.

That's why you wanted to leave Miami.

Because Marcela called off the wedding.

-She and I won't get married. -No, you have to stop her!

You have to get back together, you have to get married! You're engaged!

If they don't go through with the wedding,

Mr. Daniel Valencia will take over V&M,

he'll bankrupt it and my friends will be fired.

And it's because of me!

You don't love me anymore.

Marcela, please don't say that.

There's nothing else I can do for you.

I've done it all. I can't take it anymore.

Marcela, what's wrong? Are you okay?

Please leave.

No, Marcela...

Marcela! Marcela!

Marcela.

Lovebug, why don't you go back home?

I don't want there to be an issue.

No, my presence provides you with emotional support.

-I can't leave you alone. No way. -Yes...

I'm worried Sofia will be rude to you.

What can she possibly do?

If it makes you feel better, I can sit in the back.

-Yes. -Sure.

I promise I'll be good.

I...

I knew that. Don't correct me.

You asked.

Well, well, well! This is the last straw!

I have to put up with this sleazy tramp

on the day our divorce will be finalized?

What's the matter with you?

Calm down. Don't treat her like that.

Sorry, sorry.

How should I treat her then? Should I give her my wages?

Or should take what little my family has left and give it to her?

Sorry.

No. There's an idiot who already has that covered.

You.

Ms. Sofia, instead of criticizing others,

you should realize people are noticing

you're not a nice person.

You're not a good person... or very faithful.

-How about that? -Yeah.

So now the sleazy tramp has morals?

Will wonders ever cease!

Don't do this, girl. They're going to lose.

-Only if I let that happen. -Let's go.

-Come on, Lovebug. -Where are you going?

Sofia.

-Hello. -Sofia.

-Hello. -Hello.

-I have great news. -Really?

The judge presiding over the case is Morley Sandoval.

-She and I are close friends. -Really?

No way! How is that?

We met in Tijuana one night.

We were watching a lucha libre event

and the referee treated her to a drink

and brought a friend over and...

In any case, it's very likely that we'll win.

Really?

Oh!

-Girl! -Girl!

Hugo, here's the key to your apartment.

What's this? I didn't ask you for it.

Fabio asked for it so his sister could use it.

Fabi.

Yes?

When did I ask you to tell Inesita to give you her keys?

Now, don't get upset.

Romi was stuck outside the house for 30 minutes

and had no one to let her in.

Yes, Fabio left while I was out getting coffee

and I couldn't get inside.

Don't worry, Inesita. If you need the key, keep it.

No, I don't have a problem.

It's your home. Do as you see fit.

It's your home too. My house is your house, too.

You'll leave that house wearing white

when your groom comes for you.

Oh, you're too much.

Here's your key. I'll make a copy for Romina.

Thank you.

Let me get back to work.

My muses are nowhere to be found.

Fabi, you know very well Inesita is sacred.

Next time you need anything, ask me for it.

I don't want to upset her.

I was just being practical. That's all, chubs.

Chubs.

Is this your friend?

She's a little masculine, isn't she?

Well, it seems there was a last-minute change.

I don't know what happened.

And a pest control company, too.

Peña.

-Sofia, please. -Okay.

What?

You can speak later.

Do you know what the ninth commandment is?

Which is it?

You don't know. I do know.

Thou shall not covet your neighbor's woman.

I would ask myself, "Ricardo, who's your neighbor?

I now know what it means.

My neighbor is my best friend, my bro, my partner.

I only rely on him for my income.

Only that.

His fiancée is

the most desirable woman I've ever met.

And I'm here now telling you all this.

You, a perfect stranger, who doesn't even speak Spanish

and whom I'll never see again.

I'm drowning.

Do you know why? Because I can't tell anyone else!

Anyone, anyone!

My brother, Armando is on his way

to work things out with her. I sent him to her!

I sent him to that woman's bed!

I just want that bitch to call me and say,

"I love you, Ricardo. I love you!

I want to be with you, Ricardo." That's all I want.

I want her to ask me to forget everything,

to leave the city together and move to another planet.

That's all I want!

Know why? Because she doesn't love him.

Know how I know she doesn't love him anymore?

Because I can feel it whenever I kiss her,

whenever I look into her eyes and caress her,

and whenever we're together.

She won't stay with him. Know why?

Because when we get out of this mess Marcela will understand

and she'll choose me, Ricardo Calderon.

Ricardo Calderon.

Ricardo Calderon will win it all!

The money and my neighbor's woman.

I love this place, lovebug.

I smell a victory coming our way, don't you?

What'd you think of my statement?

It was great! Incredible!

I already see your ex asking for money on the streets.

The best part is you didn't spend money on a lawyer.

I told you I didn't need one. I think the judge is on my side.

-Really? -Yes.

I think so too.

We got each other. We connected.

Yeah, a great connection. If you keep this up...

Ma'am, this looks tough.

I'm going to lose everything!

No. Calm down.

You still haven't offered your version of the events.

Efrain refrained from saying anything that could hurt him.

But he won the judge over. He's probably a womanizer too.

Yes. Charly!

How's it going?

Can we have some coffee upstairs?

-Let's go. -Let's go.

Listen, if you need to, put me up on the stand.

I've witnessed many of the horrible things Efrain has done to Sofia.

Sofi, don't give up. You can still win the case.

Oh, Charly. You haven't seen the judge.

I don't think he likes me. He's probably sexist.

When Efrain told him he'd left me for a younger woman,

he almost ran up to hug him.

I understand, but even if you lose the house

or whatever else, I'll be there for you.

Thank you, Charly.

You're a sweetheart.

How about a kiss?

I mean it.

I'm very upset and nervous.

I don't know what's going to happen or what I'll do after this.

Well, I'm sure you and I will get through this together.

Caught you.

We should go. The hearing could resume at any moment

and we're here talking about sweethearts and kisses.

Let's go.

Luck smiles back at me.

No, Armando, not now. I'm busy!

Deal with your problems yourself!

This is my time.

In Spanish you'd say Ricardo.

Don't worry, Marcela. It's going to be okay.

Call me. It's an emergency.

I'm at a hospital in the Hamptons.

Marcela is very, very sick. Please call me back.

Betty, it's me.

Get a hold of Ricardo immediately.

I'm at a hospital in the Hamptons.

What? Are you okay? What's wrong?

I'll call you back! Doctor!

No, no! Armando!

I hope he's okay.

Rafita, what could've happened? Why is he at a hospital?

Betty, I have an invitation here for the boss.

Okay. Mariana, I need a favor.

Find Mr. Ricardo immediately. Have Sandra help you.

Have her call me once you find him.

-It's an emergency. -Yes, yes.

Sofia...

Tell him why she's living with you.

Yes, yes.

Your Honor...

My husband asked me to sell the house

where my sons and I live.

I refused,

so he and his lover moved into the house with us.

They didn't care that the boys were living there too.

On the contrary, your Honor. I...

I begged Efrain not to move in with us,

I begged his lover not to do it

and asked for the three of us to find a different resolution,

but they didn't care.

That sleazy tramp asked my sons to call her Mommy Jenny.

Go on.

When I found there was nothing else I could do,

the children and I left the house.

What else happened?

Well... I don't even know where to start,

but I have plenty to say.

How is this possible? She was fine last week.

That's what acute bacterial meningitis is like.

However, it's strange for someone so young and healthy to develop it.

Test results show Ms. Valencia has a weakened immune system.

Has she gone through any traumatic or stressful events?

Yes, you could say a lot has happened.

Then try to keep them from happening.

If you had taken any longer in bringing her in,

it could've been deadly.

Great!

He has to leave.

We get to keep the business, right?

Of course.

Lovebug, what did he say?

Thank you!

Marce.

How do you feel?

Dizzy.

Where am I?

You're in the hospital.

You fainted after we argued, remember?

No.

Did you bring me here?

Yes.

I turned back and found you on the floor.

Don't worry, though. It's going to be okay.

Get some rest.

What's wrong with me?

You... have a fiancé who's an idiot

and who doesn't appreciate you.

Yes, I'm an idiot.

I almost lost you because of my selfishness.

Marce, it's my duty to be by your side,

to look after you and protect you.

Seeing you this sick helped me realize that.

It's okay.

Get some rest.

I can't believe it!

-Yes, yes! -Girl!

I'm so happy!

Thank you!

Thank you for helping me keep my house,

for getting me divorced, for everything!

-Thank you! -You were in the right, Sofia.

Now let's just wait until everything falls into place

so you can move on with your life.

Efrain!

Justice is real and it put you in your place.

This isn't over yet. I'm going to appeal.

You'll see what's good for you then.

Come on, Jenny.

Let's go!

What do you want? Aren't you Mr. Know-it-all?

Let's go celebrate at my house.

Who wants pizza?

I know the best place in the city.

My treat!

Hey, I'm very happy for you.

Thank you, Charly.

Why are you thanking me? I didn't do anything.

You did everything yourself.

No, thank you.

Thank you for being here and everything else you do.

I couldn't have done it without you.

Thank you.

Betty, Beatriz, Betty girl, Betty Boop.

What are you doing here?

I... came to check on Mr. Armando.

Is that so?

Who called you?

I came to check on him. What happened to him?

You happened to him, Betty. You happened to him.

Armando is trying to fix everything he's done wrong

and you're partly to blame for that.

I don't understand. What did I do?

No, no. Don't play dumb.

You don't know anything?

But you're supposed to be an excellent employee, right?

Beatriz, you don't have to pretend around me.

At the end of the day, we're both alike.

What's the matter with you, Mr. Ricardo?

I've had it!

Let's talk this out already.

What'd you do to my sister? Where's Marcela?

Nothing. She was very sick, so I brought her here.

-Listen to me! -Let go!

Stay away from my sister! Leave her alone!

Let go!

I'm not leaving her, not when she needs me most.

Get this through your head. She's done with you.

Stay out of my relationship.

Is that so? And what if I don't?

I told you to hire a lawyer,

but you were all like, "No, I know what I'm doing."

Look at what you've done!

We lost the house! You promised, lovebug!

Look at what you've done! You're an idiot!

That's what you are! You're an idiot!

-Did you just call me an idiot? -No...

I called you stupid, dumb and everything in between.

You deserve it!

You've never treated me like this.

That's because before today

you hadn't behaved like such a stupid idiot!

But you know what? I've had it with you!

I can't take it anymore! Why couldn't you pay for it?

What would it have cost you? You're a cheap bastard!

A stingy miser!

You just wanted that hag to win, didn't you?

No.

Do you know what that means? Do you?

You don't know, do you? That's because you're not me!

Home sweet home.

-Sofis. -Yeah, girl?

What are these two disgusting rats doing in your house?

Oh, you're right. Know what I think?

I think they haven't been told that this is my house

and that they're breaking and entering,

invading private property.

That's what's going.

That's a crime. Let's call the police.

-No, no. -Let's call the police.

No, don't call the police. We're already leaving.

No, no, no.

I'm staying, because this is my house.

Sofis, call 911.

Tell them two vagrants broke into your house.

Don't call anyone. We're already leaving.

You know what, girl? I don't think I should.

I should be kind enough and wait for these people to pack

so they can leave calmly, wouldn't you agree?

Yes, girl.

Thank you.

Thank you?

She's spewing her venom at you like the sewer snake she is

and you're thanking her.

-Shut up! -What for?

-Let's leave. Shut up. -You two have something, don't you?

You're ugly and plain.

Hey, one last thing.

You have five minutes to pack. Time starts now!

I'm staying here.

Fifty nine, 58, 57, 56,

Fifty five, 54, 53...

Okay, but I don't understand.

You don't understand?

Okay. I'll explain.

You may fool others into thinking

you're a naïve and unwise little girl,

but I've come to realize you're a pro.

A pro? In what?

Marcela is my woman. You can't tell me what to do!

That was Mr. Armando.

Is this how you're going to fix things?

You won't win this time.

I can't stand this idiot!

Mr. Armando, please calm down! We're in a hospital.

He doesn't have a leg to stand on, so he's picking fights!

Come on! I'm right here!

Daniel, we're here for your sister.

Relax or we'll be arrested. You don't want to go to jail.

Jail is awful here. Believe me...

-Don't tell me... -Lower your voice.

You're not a Valencia. You have no reason to be here.

My sister isn't going to marry you, so go away!

Same goes for you.

Idiot!

Twelve, 11, 10, 9...

Let's go, Jenny!

I'm not going anywhere. I'm staying right here.

I'm not afraid of you, you cows.

Three, two, one, zero!

They're gone!

Let's celebrate! Look!

-Girl! -Don't cry!

No, I'm happy.

I have my house, I'm divorced, and my sons are with me.

I have it all.

If someone would've told me months ago

that I'd be this happy divorced and on my own,

I would've done it sooner.

You're not on your own. You have an amazing prospect.

Yes, Charly.

-Little guy. -If it weren't for him,

this nightmare would've been so much worse.

Why don't you call your boyfriend

so he can celebrate with us?

Don't call him that. Charly isn't my boyfriend.

-He's your lover? -No.

We're nothing.

Let me enjoy being single for a few hours.

Let's celebrate!

What are you doing here, Betty?

I asked you to find Ricardo, not to come here.

I know, but you sounded very upset

and I thought something had happened to you

and not Ms. Marcela.

What happened to her?

She has meningitis or something.

Oh, God.

The doctor told me everything is under control.

She was under a lot of stress.

And...

And the source of that stress is me.

No, don't say that, Armando.

No, Betty. Not here.

I'm sorry.

Yeah, I'm also sorry for what's going on.

It's like I destroy everything I touch.

Marcela wasn't well when I met up with her.

She had a high fever and she kicked me out.

Thankfully I went back.

I found her passed out and brought her here.

This won't be easy.

It's my dad. I have to take this.

Okay.

Hi, Dad.

Son, we just heard about what happened.

How is Marcela doing?

Is she as sick as Daniel says? What does she have?

Meningitis.

The doctor says everything is under control.

What? That's very serious!

We're flying back to New York tomorrow.

No, you don't have to.

Just come for the board meeting like you already had planned.

I'm handling everything here.

How did she catch such an infection?

I don't know. A poorly treated cold.

We didn't think it was anything serious,

but the doctor said everything's under control

and I'm handling everything.

That's strange.

Marcela has always been such a healthy person.

How are things between you, son?

Yes, everything's fine.

Can I speak to her?

No, she's resting now.

When she wakes up tomorrow,

we'll call you so you can talk to her.

All right, send Marcela our love

and tell her we hope she gets well soon.

Send her our thoughts.

Tell her we love her very much.

Bye.

Well...

Yes...

It's not easy.

No. I know it isn't.

I should go.

Thank you for being here.

I'll call you later so we can talk.

Look after her. She needs you.

We'll talk later.

Yeah.

Marcela.

What happened to you?

Don't worry about me. How are you?

Where's Armando?

-Why are you asking for him? -Because I know you,

and I know he has something to do with that.

It's fine. I asked him to leave.

No!

No, I want him here with me.

I need him.

What do you mean you need him?

You're not considering getting back with him, are you?

You're like this because of him!

I don't want you to question me.

Please understand.

I'm sorry, but I won't sign the document.

What do you mean?

You heard me.

I'm staying with Armando,

I'm going to continue to work at V&M.

I'm sorry, but you'll have to cancel your plans.

Marcela, you're making the worst mistake of your life.

Girls, you don't know what it was like.

We were all there, feeling pretty nervous

and then the door swings open.

In comes the judge...

looking real sexist.

He looked like such a misogynist

that I thought he'd have my sons and me go live under a bridge.

That clown Efrain thought himself a lawyer and kept saying...

Can you imagine? Ridiculous!

Very ridiculous.

To save a few bucks he didn't hire a lawyer

and said he'd rather represent himself

because he didn't need anyone else.

He was well out of his depth.

When we started saying our sides...

-Bless you, girl. -Thanks.

We each said our piece, and that idiot Efrain had the...

Yes...

of saying how he brought that tramp into my house.

That's when the look on the judge's face changed.

He said, "Oh, yeah?

Well, then Sofia gets the house,

and alimony, and child support."

I'm officially divorced!

Let's toast to that!

Up, down, then back around!

-Come on in. -Hi!

Hi.

Say hello, kids.

Cuties.

Squad, meet Charly,

Charly, meet the squad.

You're the infamous squad?

Yes.

You resemble more a garden of beautiful flowers.

-I'll put this in the kitchen. -Go on.

Excuse me.

Girls, he's the one.

Girl!

The one who brought food.

Boys, you're a little stinky. Wouldn't you agree, girls?

Shower because we're having dinner right after.

Take a shower.

Don't worry. I'll help them.

Put in a good word for me.

Don't worry. We will.

Tell us everything!

You're a quick one!

-Do you like him? -Stop it.

Shh! Settle down.

And we're back in this hole in the wall!

Smell that? It smells of cockroaches!

I told you to hire a good lawyer, a litigant,

but you were feeling too smug

and chose to watch tutorials online.

-Idiot! -Hey, don't call me that!

Would you rather I called you an imbecile?

Calm down.

Fine.

We're only going to stay here for a short time.

I'll move us to larger place as soon as I can.

And how are you going to afford it?

After paying alimony and child support,

you won't have enough to buy a single taco.

Oh, but you'll have to work hard to support that hag

and those brats.

Don't mess with the kids. Look...

Don't touch me!

Fine. I won't touch you anymore.

Let's try to focus on the bright side.

I'm divorced.

I'm a free man. I'm all yours now.

You're free? You're free and poor!

Homeless!

No, I'm not homeless. We still have our love nest.

Love nest my ass!

See this bed?

I don't plan on sharing a single bit of it with you!

Not one bit!

So...

You may go now... Efrain.

You make me feel like...

Mom!

Are you hiding your birth control pills?

No.

Why would I hide them?

I'm not that stupid, honey.

Birth control pills were invented when I was young

and they're meant to keep women from getting pregnant.

What else am I supposed to think?

Yes, but each person uses them differently.

Is that so?

Should we look up online what they're used for?

No, no!

Yes, they can be used for that too,

but in my case in particular that's not what they're for.

My friends gave them to me

because mixing birth control pills with your shampoo

helps strengthen your hair.

It... strengthens your scalp.

That's what I'm using them for. Silky hair.

Yes. Besides, why would I want them?

I'm single.

I asked myself that too.

Why would you take those pills if you don't have a boyfriend?

But it turns out they're for your hair.

You're spending your hard-earned money

on birth control pills for your hair.

That's such a relief.

I didn't like the other potential answer one bit.

I'm going to choose to believe you.

Don't let your father see them. He won't believe that nonsense.

I'll be serving dinner soon, sweetie.

Oh, no!

Where are my nurses?

Finally!

Do you need anything?

Just what I needed.

What are you doing here?

I came to see you.

-I was worried about you. -Oh, how sweet.

As you can see, I'm fine.

Now leave.

Leave already!

Fine. As you wish.

Hey, have you seen Armando?

Yes, he's outside recovering from his fight with Daniel.

He's with Betty.

What is Betty doing here?

She brought him some paperwork, but she's leaving already.

Isn't she sick of spending her days next to Armando?

I can't stand her!

Marcela, relax.

Don't worry about her. Focus on yourself for now.

Leave.

I don't want Armando to see you. Bye.

Get out!

-Mom? -Yeah?

Now that you're divorced...

Are you asking if you're going to see your dad?

Of course, honey.

Of course you'll be seeing him.

In fact, he's going to pick you up from soccer practice

and you'll spend one weekend with him and one with me.

Are you happy to be back home?

Yes.

I am too.

But what's going to happen to Daddy?

Where is he going to live?

Look...

Your dad is going to live in a new house

with Jenny.

Don't worry, though.

He chose to live with Jenny.

He loves her and wants to spend the rest of his life with her.

Therefore, he's a very happy man.

Okay? He's going to be okay.

I promise. And we are too.

Especially if you finish the rice before it gets cold.

One, two, three!

Let's see who finishes first.

I will!

Prove it.

Well? How is she?

She's upset.

I can imagine. Daniel's an idiot!

Who knows what else he told her?

Quit blaming others, Armando. This is your fault.

-Excuse you? -Yes, you heard me.

It was irresponsible of you to go to Miami after her threat.

You don't abandon the woman you love.

Of course not! That's why I'm here!

No, you're here because you feel guilty,

not because you love her. You should leave her alone.

Why are you talking to me like that?

I'm sick of seeing you get everything you want

and throwing it away as if it were worthless.

Marcela is an amazing woman.

She's attractive, smart, powerful.

And you're an idiot for hurting her.

If she were mine, I'd never hurt her.

Yours?

What are you trying to say? Do you like Marcela?
