You're the best thing that's ever happened to me.

PREVIOUSLY

Thank you for teaching me the true meaning of love

and for giving me so much peace.

I don't know how I've come this far

or how I'm here, tell me,

telling you and telling myself that I love you.

That's my truth, Betty.

I love you.

What are you doing here? Are you following me?

Cindy, how are...?

I need to use the restroom. Be right back.

Have you lost your mind? This is the ladies' room.

Why are you sleeping with your best friend's fiancé?

My daughter wanted to come along.

She'll take part in the negotiation.

Ricardo, Marcela,

yesterday you were at the gallery checking out the art

and today you're here doing business.

So you were at Daniel's charity event yesterday, Ricardo?

Yes, that's right.

I didn't know Ricardo was interested

in vintage works of art.

I thought you preferred modern works.

You bought one of the best pieces at the exhibit.

Yes, she mentioned that. She paid a fortune for it.

It's a new artist's creation. But that's my daughter for you,

always supportive of the arts and charity.

Your brother must be very proud.

I read online that he raised a lot of money.

Yes, Daniel is very altruistic.

Let's get started, shall we? Betty.

Right. Mr. Anderson, here's our business plan

for Mr. Hugo's collection.

Infinity! Where anything is possible!

What do you have there?

-Huh? -What do you have there?

Nothing.

Sofi, don't lie to me.

Charly brought me donuts.

-What? -Yes, donuts.

You can't eat them, though.

Focus on something else. Get back to your stuff.

You've just reminded me of

when my hubby used to surprise me.

Today...

he gave me a grapefruit

for breakfast.

It was only half of it!

No, girl he's doing it because he loves you.

No, a spiteful man is capable of anything.

Don't hurt those you love. The love's run out, Sofi.

All that's left is for us to separate

and live on until we die.

You should write soap operas.

You're so melodramatic.

He says I have to be careful

because the surgery was very expensive.

Yes, exactly.

He's doing it because he loves you, because... yeah!

Let yourself be loved.

He does it because he cares.

Everything's fine.

I feel like that old saying that goes,

"The pretty wish they had the luck of the homely".

But instead of homely, I'm a fat girl

who wants to be thin, not pretty.

You know what I mean?

Sort of, I guess.

Anyway, then,

if you don't want any donuts,

I'll hide it so you won't get any cravings.

I miss my hubby's voice!

I've lost him in my attempts at trying to keep him, Sofis.

My life is a cruel ironic twist of fate!

Well, if you have questions about the designs,

Hugo is here to answer them.

We can answer any business-related questions.

Well, I love the collection.

It aligns with the concept we have at our stores,

and it targets a modern young woman.

But there is a problem, Armando.

What is it?

We can't have you making deliveries two months from now.

I'd like you start making deliveries within a month

to my largest stores in the south.

Does that mean you accept our offer?

Of course!

Thank you for your trust.

I'm sure this will be the first of many deals together.

This calls for a celebration.

Patricia, get the champagne.

Yes!

We're going to modify the proposal,

but it won't affect your profit margins.

However, I'll need your help

with visual management.

Who handles that here?

I'm the VP of Marketing.

Great, so you and I will tour my stores nationwide.

I believe Ricardo is the VP of Commerce

and his opinion is very important too.

I think Marcela and Ricardo would make a great team.

Would you two mind traveling together?

Great. That's what I like about you.

Young people are always willing to face changes and challenges.

We leave tomorrow. Pack for all seasons.

No! No, no! There's...

There's no need for me to travel.

What am I going to do, Armando?

Those are Jack's stores.

Besides, that's Ricardo's field of expertise.

He can make the important decisions.

Marcela, visual management isn't my strength.

It's yours.

Plus, you manage our site, which is our main showcase.

That's right, you.

You can do all that a lot better than any of us could.

-Yeah. -Why don't you want to go?

If traveling with me is the issue...

I'll fly commercial and you can fly in Jack's jet.

Obviously not, Ricardo.

It's... the wedding, sweetheart!

I have so much to do.

That's why I want to stay.

Honey, please! You'll only be gone one week.

Besides, Catalina's handling everything anyway.

Plus, this is a very important deal for V&M.

If we get it, we'll finally get past our bad run.

This is the last thing I'll do before my wedding.

Betty, what's wrong?

You don't look very happy about our deal with Anderson.

I know you well and I know something is bothering you.

Were our projections wrong? What's wrong?

No, our business plan is perfect and well structured,

but I'm nervous about the timeline.

Shorter deadlines aren't good for us.

Because of the money? Why?

Yes, exactly.

V&M lacks the financial stability

to take on that challenge.

We can't just pay in advance. We don't have the money.

The collection was sold. It's a safe investment.

Yes, I know that, but...

without liquidity,

V&M's gaping financial hole

will continue to grow and grow.

We can't take that risk.

Also, if we invest in Hugo's Infinity collection,

we won't have enough to manufacture lingerie,

which is what really keeps V&M going.

What about the money I got

from mortgaging the house in the Hamptons?

-What? -It helped a little,

but it wasn't enough. We're going to...

have to ask the bank for another loan.

But V&M can't do that. The banks won't go for it.

BAR.

No?

Maybe, but...

but this is the last time BAR helps V&M out.

BAR could go bankrupt if V&M goes on like this.

It'll reach its credit limit.

Let's do it, Betty. Trust me.

We mustn't neglect our foolish girl.

-They are all delicious, Cata. -They are, aren't they?

I had a hard time narrowing it down to these three.

Now it's up to you to decide.

Why isn't Armando here? I thought he was going to offer his input.

Oh, I don't know. He's busy with a client.

He really wanted to be here, though.

Yeah, he really wanted to taste everything.

This one! Definitely...

I want Red Velvet.

I love Red Velvet! It's amazing!

-That's it! -Are you sure?

I think you and Armando should talk it over.

No, I've made up my mind. Is there anything else?

Marcela, calm down. What's wrong?

Are you OK?

You seem overwhelmed and nervous.

You're not the same Marcela I spoke with in the Hamptons.

Is something wrong?

Is it that obvious?

Cata, I have to go on a trip I don't want to go on

and my mind's a mess.

Is it with Armando?

No, that's the problem. It's not with Armando.

I... don't want to leave him.

Yes, that's it. I don't want to leave him by himself.

Marcela, we've been over this.

You need to learn to trust Armando.

Otherwise, your life will be hell from now on.

Thank you.

I love all of the stuffed animals you've given me.

I have a collection.

I love this one.

But I didn't really understand the note in the card.

What?

-Yeah, I didn't... -I mean, look.

-I know! -Just look at it.

It reads,

"I dream of being with you again.

When I'm not with you, time feels eternal.

I want to touch you again.

Armando."

-Again? -Uh-huh.

-Again? -It says again here.

-Yes. -"I dream of being..."

Yesterday we...

Yes, yes. That's precisely it.

Does it seem strange to you

that I need you more

and more?

-No, it's just that... -What?

I love that you give me stuffed animals and cards.

It's as if you were someone else.

You're so gentle and... sweet.

-Thank you. -You're welcome.

Are you OK?

That means bye. See you later.

Are you still buying Betty gifts for me?

Yeah.

I don't sign them myself, but I don't think you're here

to thank me for my latest literary creation.

No, I want you to stop.

What's the matter, bro? What did I do wrong?

My cards include beautiful messages.

Although it's hard to be inspired by such an ugly woman.

You don't know what you're doing!

You don't know Betty.

All right, let's calm down. What happened?

What happened?

She asked me about your latest literary creation.

You wrote that you hadn't touched her in a long time.

-So? -So?

Might be disgusting, but you'll have to sleep with her again.

I slept with her here yesterday.

-Here, at V&M? -Yes, yes.

We worked till late...

and we ended up making love.

What?

You can't sleep with Marcela but you can sleep with Beatriz?

You can't sleep with your girl but you can sleep with uggo?

Armando...

-What? -...are you falling in love with Beatriz?

What? No, I... No, no. Don't get the wrong idea.

No, what I feel for Betty isn't love.

No.

OK, then explain it to me because I don't get it.

Why are you mad at me?

Yes, I made a mistake in the card, but that's all.

I'm carrying out the plan.

I don't want you to anymore.

Things have changed. The outlook is different.

-That's it. -What changed?

I didn't. You're the one who's changed.

Lying to Beatriz is starting to affect you.

Enough! Let me handle it.

You've always told me I'm responsible for everything,

so stay out of it.

No, I disagree. She has a lot of power over you.

Do you remember the original plan?

We were going to use her, to use her.

But you didn't know how to keep her in your grasp.

Beatriz isn't like the women you're used to.

-Like you know her! -I do.

She's a woman in need of love, with no self-esteem or ethics.

Beatriz is dangerous.

She's not the good woman you think she is.

Enough! Stay out of it, OK?

No more gifts and no more cards!

I'll handle it!

-Yes? -Sofia, it's me.

Efrain, I'm very busy. You have my lawyer's number.

If you have something to say to me, talk to her first.

No, it's got nothing to do with our divorce, calm down.

Hey, I have a question.

Where's the cot we kept for guests?

I threw it away years ago because it was rusty.

Yeah, but,

you kept the sleeping bags, right?

The boy's sleeping bags?

I can't make out what you're saying.

I need something to sleep in.

Buy a mattress.

It'll only be temporary.

When can I stop by to pick them up?

Were you banished to the couch?

You poor thing!

You know, the judge set up a visitation schedule,

so if you keep arguing with Jenny,

you can take them on the days you were assigned.

Otherwise, don't bother me. OK? Bye!

I'm just asking for a favor.

I haven't slept well in days and my back is killing me.

I'm not asking for the house, Sofia.

Sofia? Sofia!

All right, we'll do that.

We'll talk later.

Things just keep getting worse and worse for you, man.

I don't want any trouble with you.

Bertha, don't stress. Your cards look great.

-Really? -Uh-huh.

So my hubby isn't leaving me for some skinny chic?

No, you're all I see here.

You'll have a little hiccup,

but it'll all be resolved quickly.

The sun is here.

It'll light both your paths.

The Empress brings abundance.

-Yes? -Bertha, are you being careful?

You mean birth control? No.

-Are you watching what you eat? -Nope.

These cards are so pretty. Are you doing a tarot reading?

My reading is over, so if you want... right?

Yeah. Do a reading for Betty.

-No, no. -Yes, yes!

You know I don't believe in that.

-We do. -Why is that?

The cards were right about your boyfriend last time.

Come, we want to know what the future has in store for you.

Yes, we want to find out more about you

and your romance with the very mysterious Nicolas.

Shuffle the cards.

You never tell us anything. You're very tight-lipped.

-All right. -Pour your heart into it.

-I don't know how to do this. -Think of Nicolas.

-There you go. -There's nothing to it. Just cut the deck.

-Done. -All right.

Let's see.

What?

What is it, Mariana? Those cards are hideous!

There's Death, a rat in a tower!

Why are there so many swords? What does it mean?

Mariana, why aren't you happy?

No reason.

You're going to have

a few minor problems,

and there are going to be lots of changes,

and I just remembered that I forgot Ms. Marcela

asked me for a favor.

I have to make a phone call.

I have to call Mr...

-Girl! -Mariana?

Hold on.

I had a premium tiered membership with you.

No, I don't have it anymore.

That's why I said I had a premium membership.

I don't anymore. If you want to have me back,

the least you can do is send the food here.

I'll pay for it.

No, they don't want me to pay with my card.

Yes, that's my credit card number.

I've only said it 35 times. It's not that difficult.

Hello?

They hung up! Damn them!

And we're a long way from payday.

You're going to have to eat sliced air.

I'll figure it out, you thin girl wannabe.

Beanpole.

What?

No, Pati, I...

I was just calling to...

to talk to you, but if you're busy,

I'll call you later.

No, no, Mr. Mystery. I'm sorry.

It's just that I'm having a terrible day.

The worst day of my life!

Patri, every day is a new opportunity

to attain happiness.

There's no such thing as a bad day.

Just a sec.

Respect my personal space,

and take your humongous self elsewhere.

Sorry.

I'm sorry, but this has got to be the worst day of my life!

As I was telling you.

I'm hungry and I can't eat

because the food delivery app is useless!

And you've been neglecting me

and haven't kept any of your promises.

Oh, my Manhattan Barbie,

fate is fickle and it's physically kept us apart,

but I can't stop thinking about you.

I'd like to help you, babe.

And... how are you going to help me?

What are you going to do?

Look, Patri,

what I plan to do will remain a mystery.

It's so mysterious I don't even know what I'm going to do.

What am I going to do? Think, think, think.

Mariana, why did you call a meeting?

Betty's reading. Those cards were awful!

-What? -Horrible!

-Her life is going to fall apart. -No way!

Everything will end in the worst way possible.

There's betrayal, something will die...

And most importantly, look!

-A broken heart! -What does that mean?

Is Betty going to die?

Well, it won't be a physical death,

but some very difficult things are heading her way.

And she's going to lose her lover.

I've never had a reading as terrible as this one.

Why didn't you tell her, Mariana?

Maybe there's something she can do to change things.

No, Betty's luck has been cast. There's nothing we can do.

What soothes me a little

is that there will be a resurrection after this mess.

Of a dead person?

No, Betty's.

It's like the start of a new life.

-Hi. Guess what. -What?

The bank gave BAR another loan.

You were absolutely right. Everything will be fine.

You're the only one who's always believed in me.

Why is that, Betty?

Well... because... I love you.

You've done everything I've asked.

Betty, you have no idea how much you've changed my life.

I told you I'd always be by your side.

Betty.

My Betty.

Thank you for everything.

Armando, I'm scared.

Why? Of what?

It's just that Mariana did a reading for me

and she was scared.

The cards said there was trouble up ahead.

Do you really believe in that, Betty?

I don't want anything to come between us.

As long as we're together, nothing bad will happen.

There's nothing strong enough to separate us.

-OK. -I love you.

What? You stayed back?

You should've gone out pigeon hunting.

There are plenty of those in Central Park.

-You poor thing. -Patty Fernandez.

My name is Patricia. What do you want, simpleton?

Your Prince Charming sent you this from Le Blanc.

Since Aura Maria didn't want to see your face,

I kindly offered to deliver it.

Bon appétit.

He could only afford one rose?

No, there's a lot of food in there.

I'll show you and I'll explain the difference

between naturally thin people and fatsos like you

who want to be thin.

People like you should go pigeon hunting in Central Park.

I, on the other hand, am sent roses...

and food to the office.

Listen, I paid for this body...

and you paid for yours.

You're just jealous

because I can eat whatever I want without putting on weight.

You should be careful

and remember there's such a thing as body memory.

How much do you miss me?

Are you ready to spend a week with me?

I'm not spending a week with you!

I'm going to be very busy with many meetings.

I'm going to keep myself as far away from you as possible!

Sure, sure, Marcela.

You can't stay away from me. Admit it.

In fact, I'm about to report you for sexual harassment.

Don't be ridiculous.

I try not to be, but I need to be spanked.

Enough! Go away!

Bye!

Catalina, how are you? Nice to see you.

-What are you doing here? -I was waiting for you.

-What is it? -I stopped by your office,

but you seemed very busy.

I'm always busy, but never too busy for you.

Very busy with Betty.

And?

Are you in a relationship with your assistant, Armando?

Me and Betty?

Catalina, how can you think such a thing?

Betty is just my assistant,

and she's not my type.

I'm sure you only witnessed a kind gesture on my behalf.

There's nothing between us. How can you think otherwise?

I don't think it's funny,

and I'd hate for Betty

to misinterpret your kind gestures.

That's her problem, not mine.

No, you're wrong.

If something happens to Betty, that's your responsibility.

Wait, did you come here to tell me how to treat my assistant?

No, Armando.

I came here to take you to your reception venue.

Let's go, then.

Last question.

Why does it scare you to be alone with me?

I'm not scared!

I have a lot to do and you're annoying.

How do I get you to understand

that nothing will ever happen between us again?

Nothing.

You should have your actions back your words.

If it were up to me, I swear I wouldn't go on that trip.

But you have to go.

Fate is bringing us together so we should go with the flow.

Excuse me, Ms. Marcela,

I just emailed you the latest website designs.

Thank you, Mariana.

I need you to talk to Sandra so you can

plan our flights and stay in Miami.

Sandra?

Yes.

We leave for Miami tomorrow morning.

What?

You can't travel with him!

What's wrong? You and Hugo have a fight?

No, everything's fine with him.

Ines is the problem.

She's meddlesome and I can't seem to win her over.

Relax. I'll handle it.

What are you going to do?

For starters, I'll be patient.

She loves hearing me go on about my abandoned

pregnant woman woes.

It's not enough to control her.

We have to get rid of her.

She exerts a lot of influence over Hugo.

I agree.

Isn't she too old to be working here?

I think it's time for that old lady

to go home.

What do you mean I can't travel with Ricardo, Mariana?

We have a meeting with the Princeton distributors.

Cancel it and...

and reschedule it

-another day, no? -Sure.

Yes, of course.

I'll go work everything out with Sandra right now.

Thank you. By the way,

make sure our seats on the plane are together

and that our hotel rooms are too.

Yes, of course.

Oh, it's Catalina. I have to go.

Armando is waiting for me

in the parking lot. OK, so, bye.

-Bye! -Ciao.

They're shameless!

They came up

with a business trip

so they can be together.

I really can't believe the others haven't noticed.

I need my valerian drops

now more than ever.

You had something to tell me. You're making me worry.

Girl, you won't believe this.

Mr. Ricardo asked to have their hotel rooms next to each other.

That's horrible!

Mariana,

the fact that we know and haven't said anything

makes us their accomplices.

Put some drops under my tongue.

Is everything OK?

Huh? Yes.

Yes, we're just going with the flow.

You have to go with the flow

so everything flows.

We're but fish in the sea.

-And seashells. -Give it up for happiness.

We're rainbows as well.

We're all good.

This one is good.

-And this one is too. -Excuse me!

Inesita, do you like alfajores?

Oh, I'm prediabetic.

I can't have sweets.

That's a shame.

Hugo must love them, though.

No, Hugo's on a diet.

I'm sorry to bother you,

but would you teach me everything you know?

You want to take my job, don't you?

No, I swear I don't.

I'm no good at this. It's too much pressure.

It's just that... I'd love to pick up a few things

so I can make a living when I return to Buenos Aires.

I thought you were going to stay here.

I don't know if I will.

Hugo and my brother can't fix all of my problems.

Well, if they said they'd help, then they will.

Yes, but will you still teach me?

It'll make me feel useful.

I'll teach you,

but stop worrying about things

that have already been resolved.

-You're not on your own. -Thank you, Inesita.

You're too kind.

You're an angel.

You could be my baby's grandma.

What do you think of this ballroom?

It's beautiful, isn't it?

It can hold up to 1,000 guests.

-It's pretty, right? -The view is gorgeous.

-I know. -Yes, I like it.

-If you like it, I like it. -Yes.

Wow, you two continue to surprise me.

Why?

What do you mean?

Most couples have to have their demands reined in,

but you two don't seem very interested.

No, that's not it, Catalina. We really trust your opinion...

and we've been very busy.

Yes, there's so much work to be done.

Plus, you're the best wedding planner in New York.

-Yes. -There's nothing to worry about.

Yes, I am, but if you want me to do my job right,

I need a little more participation from you.

-And you'll have it. -Yes.

-Yes, what do you need? -What should we do?

Well, since you're so eager to help,

what's your song?

-Song? -Song?

Yes, the song that identifies you as a couple.

All couples have one. Which one is yours?

Good morning, my nubile and charming lady.

How may I help you? Where are you headed?

Who are you here to see? Do you have an appointment

or may I make one for you 10 minutes from now?

You are too kind.

I'm here to see Wilson.

Wilson?

If you're looking for Wilson,

you will find Wilson.

Yes, Wilson.

So what's your name, your real name?

My name is Giovanni Castañeda.

At your service. You can call me Giovas, though.

It's a pleasure to meet you.

I'll speak in the other languages I know

when we know each other a little better.

-You seem pretty chummy to me. -What?

First of all, Giovas,

why are you performing my duties?

And second, and most importantly,

why are you standing so close to my girlfriend?

I didn't know, man.

I was merely greeting the lady

in a cordial manner.

I didn't know she was your girlfriend.

Yes, I'm Pantera.

Check out my claws.

-Wow! -Look!

Hot damn!

You're practically naked.

-You're going to catch a cold. -When did you upload this?

A few minutes ago.

I wanted to do something for my followers.

Don't worry, though.

Only you get to see

all the naughty bits.

Giovas!

You're wanted on the 10th floor.

You come here to work,

not to look at pictures.

Too bad, Gio. You can see it later.

I'll keep it up until I get 2,000 followers.

I'll 'Like' it.

-Sure. -Get back to work!

Watch out!

Only I get to have fun with her.

-He's very charming. -You're too slow!

-Armando. -What?

Catalina's right.

Something's happening to us.

No, we're just working too much. That's it.

Don't you think we should be more excited about our wedding?

We are. Don't mind what Catalina said.

We might not be like the rest,

but that doesn't mean we don't love each other.

Right? Yes, you're right.

If you say so.

I'm done!

Well, I'm going to take home what was left over

and have it for dinner.

Go talk to your mama!

I said it out loud so you could hear me

because you always want to know

what's going on with me.

I'm having the leftovers at home.

It's great to have real food.

It's nothing like

the calorie-infested crap

you eat.

Gross!

Oh!

You won't believe this,

but I was just thinking about you, Nico.

Oh, no! I meant, Mr. Mystery.

Patri, did you like my gift?

I was very surprised by it,

but I loved it.

Well, I used what I had at hand to make it.

I love your sense of humor.

You really shouldn't have.

Oh, Patri.

Look,

I hope I made your bad day a little better

and I hope

a little ray of sunshine

now shines in your heart.

Yes. Of course.

Actually, no, Mr. Mystery.

You and I have to meet in person, no excuses.

Yes, Patri.

As you know, I run an international business.

I'm never here.

No, no, Mr. Mystery.

I've had it!

You and I are going to meet.

If you stand me up again,

don't bother asking me ever again.

I'll see you tomorrow at eight at Le Blanc.

Betty, what's with the zoo?

Are you selling stuffed animals?

You have quite the collection here.

These are gifts Nico sent me.

Nicolas, your boyfriend.

He's a very special man who must love you very much

if he gets you little gifts like this.

It's a shame people don't give these nowadays.

Yes, that's right.

You know, I remember how Nicolas defended your work

when we asked you for a report on BAR.

He defended you as well.

"Don't mess with Betty

or you'll have to deal with Super Nicolas."

Yes, Nicolas is a great frie-- boyfriend.

His love for you must run deep.

You two make a unique couple.

You must be very faithful to one another.

Yes, we're very faithful.

Nicolas and I tell each other the truth, even if it hurts.

Close friends are honest with each other.

You ever heard that?

Yes, once.

Nicolas and I wouldn't betray each other.

We protect each other.

I know what to expect from Nicolas,

because above all, he's my friend.

And you don't mess with your friends.

You respect your friends. Right, Mr. Ricardo?

Hello! How are you?

Many of you think that I, Marcela Valencia, am intense.

No, I'm not intense.

I just want Armando all to myself.

While I work on that, let's watch this Behind the Scenes

episode of Betty en NY.

Marcela.

Well, Marcela is a very attractive woman,

but we can't be together.

She's going to marry my bro.

In two months, Armando and I will get married.

Marcela doesn't deserve what Armando is doing to her.

I think communication is key in a relationship,

and that's something they are certainly lacking.

I don't want to hurt her. She deserves the best.

She deserves to be with a man who loves her.

Someone who loves and respects her very much.

She's not a bad person.

Even if she is mean.

You're going to be OK.

Marcela is my sister and I love her,

but Armando has driven her crazy.

That's why I'm going to make sure their relationship ends.

Hugo would probably tell Marcela

that she's insanely beautiful, a real woman,

elegant, classy and poised.

Why is she with a jerk like Armando?

She shouldn't feel insecure because of him.

On the contrary, she should feel very confident.

Leave him!

-Patricia! -Patricia!

Prick her with the cactus.

What? Where?

-Patricia! -Patricia!

Poor Marce.

I keep telling her that Armand is making a fool out her.

All men are the same. They're all shameless dogs!

But I'm the one paying the consequences

of Armando's infidelities, I mean,

Marce... do something.

See? I'm not that intense.

The others get in my ear and drive me crazy.

The worst part is that things keep getting very intense.

See you on the next behind the scenes episode of Betty en NY.

I'm going to call Armando to find out where he is.

If she were another woman, I'd worry, but...

A woman is a woman, Marce.

And Beatriz is Beatriz, Patricia.
